Chapter 188: Medicine King Valley
Huayang County is also an important town, with convenient transportation, a large population, and many shops. After entering the city, the caravan was settled, and the old and young went out into the streets.
Since it is still the first month, there are few pedestrians on the street, and there are not many shops that open the door, but fortunately, there are people left behind in the pharmacy.
But after walking through a few slightly larger pharmacies in a row, Lan Tianye didn't buy the medicinal materials he wanted to buy, so he asked the shopkeeper to explain the reason. One is because the medicinal materials they are looking for are too out-of-the-way, and pharmacies rarely purchase them, and even if they have inventory, they are very few. The second is that just a few months ago, someone bought such medicinal materials in large quantities, and the stock on the market was swept away almost in a day, and now it is in a period of closure and there is no time to replenish it.
Lan Tianye frowned and asked, "Do you know who purchased these medicinal materials?"
"I know, they didn't deliberately hide their identity, it was Baijiazhuang thirty miles outside the city. They also instructed us that if there were any leftover herbs that could be sent at any time, they would buy them at a high price. It's a pity that everyone has no inventory, otherwise they can make a small profit......"
Leaving the pharmacy, the old and the young found a teahouse and sat down to discuss countermeasures. Lan Tianye pondered for a long time before he spoke, "Earlier, I asked the two guys from the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce why they were found and tracked. They said that when they were purchasing medicines, they encountered the same situation as now, all the pharmacies in the whole city were out of stock, and only one was in stock, and they were targeted as soon as they bought them. The two of them were quite clever and slipped away first, but they still caught up. I guess our opponent used this method to lure us into the bait, and even if we didn't show up, we could easily clean up the people sent by the Five Poisons Sect to purchase medicinal herbs and make them useless. This Baijiazhuang deliberately left clues must be a trap, and I think the cities along the way are generally the same as the situation here. ”
Yun said with annoyance: "I knew that we should have bought it in Haozhou, our chamber of commerce is engaged in the medicinal materials business, although the drugs used are relatively special and may not be in stock, but they are familiar with various pharmacies and medicinal material dealers, and it is still very convenient to find them." ”
Lan Tianye shook his head slightly: "Your experience in the rivers and lakes is still not rich enough, can't I think of it?" It's just that once we make a move in Haozhou, we will be targeted by people with a heart, and we don't know that you and I are in the city." At that time, it may be difficult to even leave the city, and if you don't do it well, it will force them to jump over the wall and attack your merchants, which will cause unnecessary losses, so you can only find a way on the road. ”
"Then let's visit Baijiazhuang at night tonight?"
"It's useless, these drugs must have been transferred immediately after they collected them, and now it is a Longtan tiger's den, and reckless action will not only not solve the problem, but may also expose their whereabouts and attract more enemies. ”
"So what should I do?
"It's definitely not okay to give up, but you can't look for it in the market. I know a place to go. There is a Medicine King Valley a few hundred miles away from here, and they cultivate all kinds of rare medicinal materials by themselves all year round, so it is not a problem to find these antidotes. It's just that the Gu Master's poisonous hand medicine king has a withdrawn personality and is not easy to speak, and the strength of the top ten is extremely difficult to deal with. No one will give face, and I still had some festivals back then, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get my wish if I find it like this. ”
"How's that going to be?"
"Try it anyway. If you can ask for better, if you can't ask for it, you will steal, and if you can't steal, you will rob. It's just that my strength hasn't recovered now, otherwise what if I kill him!" A cold light flashed in Lan Tianye's eyes.
Hehe, Yun smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, since we have a request for others, let's treat each other politely, and we may not be able to achieve our goal." ”
"Well, this matter needs to be carefully considered and acted upon when the time comes. ”
Early the next morning, the caravan turned again all the way south. Zhao Qing also accepted his fate, as long as he could serve these two masters well, as for the business, let's talk about it later......
Seven days later, the group came to the outskirts of the Medicine King Valley, and Lan Tianye, the town where the caravan was settled outside the valley, came to the door with the clouds.
Only then did Yun notice that Yaowang Valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the interior was low-lying. Due to the special geographical environment, the temperature in the valley is higher than that of the outside world. Although the weather is still very cold, it is lush and green, and it is green in the eyes from a distance, and I think this is the reason why the Medicine King Valley can cultivate medicinal herbs all year round.
Maybe it was because he was injured and his strength was greatly reduced, but the old man listened to the advice of the clouds and worshiped the mountain according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. After a while, a little boy led them into the valley, only to see him constantly changing his route, and the clouds knew that this Medicine King Valley was by no means easy to break into, and it was obviously full of traps.
The three of them walked a stick of incense before they came to the main hall. As soon as he sat down, a loud voice came from outside: "How can you still be alive after so many years of no news?"
As he spoke, an old man walked in with a brisk stride, only to see that he was tall and straight, and there was no trace of rickety because of his age. The crane has a childish face, there is no wrinkle on the white and red on the face, the temples are slightly raised, and the eyes are shining.
Lan Tianye pouted: "You old immortal didn't hang up, how can I walk in front of you?"
When the old man heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. The momentum immediately became fierce, and even the air around him seemed to freeze. Lan Tianye confronted him without showing weakness, and the eyes of both sides were intertwined and even burst into sparks.
Seeing this, Yun Yun hurriedly came up to play a round game, and said deeply: "I've seen my predecessors." Tang suddenly came to see the seniors for forgiveness. ”
Only then did the old man retract his gaze and look up and down at the clouds, and sighed: "It's a pity! If you join us in the Medicine King Valley, the old man will personally train you, and within ten years you will become the top master in the rivers and lakes. ”
Hmph, Lan Tianye snorted coldly: "The old thing can't cultivate decent juniors by himself, so he digs the foot of the wall in front of me." I don't want your old face anymore!"
The old man's face immediately turned dark: "Old ghost, are you here to find fault? What's the matter, you have grown over the years! Otherwise, let's fight now and divide the upper and lower levels!"
Lan Tianye said disdainfully: "You weren't my opponent back then, let alone now." You've finally lived to be so old, I'm afraid I'll beat you to death by a moment's loss. ”
"Wow, wow, wow! You old ghost is too deceitful! You get up for me, and the old man will separate you from you today!"
Yun saw that the two of them were about to collapse again, so he hurriedly saluted again: "Senior, please calm your anger, my grandfather and I actually have something to ask for when we enter the valley today......"
"Stop!" The old man waved his hand: "If you want to beg me, you can't have any doors, hurry up and get out!
Seeing this, Lan Tianye immediately got up and grabbed the clouds and said angrily: "I'll just say it, this old guy is narrow-minded, not only was his martial arts inferior to me back then, but his pharmacology was also inferior to me." It's useless for us to come to him, not to mention that he definitely won't help, even if he wants to, he won't have the ability. The old man was angry when he looked at him. ”
"Wait!" The old man suddenly stepped forward to block the two: "You said that my martial arts were not as good as you back then, and I admit it, but why am I not as good as you in pharmacology?"
"Hehe, you still don't want to face the facts. Didn't the old man win the competition in the end?"
"Bah, you're cheating! Well, everyone has their own skills, but you secretly go to look up ancient books, you don't know when you are an old man?"
"I didn't!"
"You have!"
"Nope!"
"There is ......"
Seeing that the two old men were about to roll up their arms and sleeves again, Yun Yun could only smile bitterly and didn't know what to do. (To be continued.) )
