Chapter 130: Chance Encounter, "Qiu Qianren"
The shopkeeper squinted and smiled: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, this hundred-year-old white ginseng is a medicinal material treasured by my host, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a lot of money recently, he would never sell it, and if the guest officer wants to buy it, he still needs to negotiate the price with my host." ”
"Well, such a major matter is not something that a subordinate like us can decide, so it is better for the guest officer to wait here. ”
Xiao Jiang pretended to be and said suddenly: "Oh, I see, it's okay to wait, but don't you think it's a little boring to wait like this............?"
"Hey, I don't know where that long white ginseng is now, can you let me take a look at it to determine whether it's true or not. Xiao Jiang smiled and turned to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was stunned, seemed to be a little reluctant, and his face showed embarrassment.
Xiao Jiang saw that there was hope, so he said: "If the shopkeeper is unwilling, there are still important things to do, and I still can't stay for a long time, hey, what a century-old ginseng, just a trick to deceive people!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped and said: "Wait, don't worry, don't hurry, it seems that I took out my hand, just bullying the signboard of our store, forget it, I'll take out the ginseng and show it to the guest officer." As he spoke, he walked over to a cabinet in the left corner, unlocked it, and took out a box.
Xiao Jiang couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he saw that the box was actually made of warm jade, what needed to be stored in such a precious box must be extremely precious medicinal materials, this was certain. It seems that although the shopkeeper has ghosts, he really didn't lie about the white ginseng.
Xiao Jiang forcibly suppressed the urge to snatch the jade box, he quietly watched the shopkeeper's movements on the side, only to see the shopkeeper dismiss the people around him, and stood outside Xiao Jiang, with a counter four or five feet high in the middle, before carefully opening the jade box. After the jade box was opened, the head of a ginseng slowly emerged.
Perennial herb; rhizome (reedhead) short, erect or oblique, not thickened into lumps. The taproot is hypertrophied, spindle-shaped or cylindrical. The aboveground stems are solitary, with longitudinal striae, and there are shelf scales at the base. The leaves are palmate compound leaves, and the number of leaves of young plants is small.
longitudinally striated, without supporting leaves at the base, membranous, central leaflets elliptic to oblong-elliptic, outermost pair of lateral leaflets ovate or rhomboid-ovate, apex long and acute, base broadly wedge-shaped, inferior, margins serrate, teeth with spikes, a few bristles scattered above, obvious on both sides, reticulated veins indistinct.
Ginseng obtains the pure qi of the elite of heaven and earth, replenishes qi without the disease of rigidity and dryness, and can enter the yin division. It greatly replenishes vitality, invigorates the spleen and lungs, invigorates the body, calms the nerves and intellect.
"Seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasure", eight years of ginseng are treasures, not to mention the best of a hundred years!
Xiao Jiang was overjoyed when he saw it, he had done a lot of research on traditional Chinese medicine since he was a child in his previous life, and he had prepared pills from the prescriptions recorded in it, so he was also familiar with medicinal materials.
At a glance, he knew that the ginseng in front of him was indeed more than 100 years old. As for whether it is produced in Changbai Mountain, it doesn't matter, as long as the year is more than 100 years, it will have a miraculous effect on Xiaojiang's internal force.
"I have to get my hands on this ginseng no matter what, with it, my internal strength is not just as simple as improving!" Xiao Jiang said secretly in his heart.
At that moment, he calmed down his excitement and said to the shopkeeper, "Can you let me take a look?"
The shopkeeper said with some displeasure: "This ginseng is so precious, the guest officer wants to see it, and he has to negotiate the price with my host." At the same time, close the jade box, and put it away.
Xiao Jiang smiled slightly, "It's all taken out, why rush to take it back? I haven't seen enough yet."
However, before the shopkeeper held the jade box steadily, he felt that he jumped into the counter and grabbed it casually, and the shopkeeper only felt that a vigorous force was coming, and with his own internal cultivation, he couldn't even resist, so he was grabbed by force, and then thrown out, and was sunk into the ground a foot underground, his whole body ached, and he couldn't even move, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
After landing, the shopkeeper was a little happy, and a little amazed, he couldn't catch a trick with his own means, this kid is definitely weird!
Immediately, he was glad that he was not injured, so he hurriedly beckoned and yelled to the surrounding subordinates:
"What are you waiting for?"
Zhou Botong and Guo Jing saw it and wanted to help Xiao Jiang, but he smiled, waved his hand, and signaled them not to move.
Xiao Jiang looked at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals coming from all directions, and pointed to this heavenly way:
"Heaven just told me that you are looking for death, but he also said that he has the virtue of a good life, and asked me to educate and educate. ”
As soon as the words fell, the people around them just felt a gust of wind passing by, and they couldn't move.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper instantly softened, and hurriedly said: "Hero, spare your life, spare your life! If you want to take it, take it, don't kill me!"
Xiao Jiang smiled, "You are not worthy of my hands, and I don't fight with people who are powerless." ”
The shopkeeper raised the long knife in his hand and scratched his head, "What, you can't restrain the chicken?"
When the shopkeeper was itching with hatred, he thought that this kid would leave if he got cheap, but he didn't think about it, this kid not only left, but also drank and ate, which was looking for death, fortunately he sent someone to invite the owner in advance.
As long as the proprietor brings people down, there is hope that he will be saved. But after thinking about it, another bad thought arose in his heart, can the manpower brought by the owner really be able to deal with this person? The shopkeeper's heart was beating.
Xiao Jiang didn't pay attention to what the shopkeeper was thinking, he snatched the jade box from the shopkeeper's hand, opened it and looked at it, sure enough, it was the ginseng that was more than 100 years old, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel great joy at the same time, and remembered that he hadn't eaten it. I think it's just right, I will leave after eating, and I don't have to give money anyway.
So he left Guo Jing to wait alone, and he and Zhou Botong swept the entire inn.
After a while, Xiao Jiang felt that it was almost enough, so he stuffed the jade box into his arms, and then found other auxiliary medicinal materials in a grid drawer in the counter, and after packing them in a cloth bag, he was about to leave quickly.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the top of the stairs: "Little thief, stop me!
"Could it be the rescuers, if so, it seems that it will take some time again", Xiao Jiang thought in his heart.
With the voice, the first thing that caught my eye was a middle-aged man in Ge Yi walking down, and behind him there was a group of martial arts people with swords and swords, all of whom were full of horizontal flesh, and the arrogance on their faces was unannounced, looking like they were going to kill.
When Xiao Jiang saw this, he was taken aback, and he was still wondering who this person was, and he had such appeal.
But after the figure was completely exposed under Xiao Jiang's nose, Xiao Jiang directly blurted out and shouted: "Qiu Qianren!"
