Chapter 85 Pujiang Taro
Chapter 85 of the Story of Qianshan, Volume 1 of the Ten Generations of Masters It is dusk at this time, when the long day is coming to an end, most ordinary villages and towns should be filled with smoke, and ordinary people who have worked all day are preparing for dinner.
Go to bed early, do some necessary fun activities, and prepare for the next day's work.
But here at the "town entrance", or rather on the roadside of the big village called "Pujiang", there are many idle people gathered. Most of them have ruddy faces, broad shoulders, exposed upper body muscles and strong muscles. Although they are dressed in clothing,
It can't be said to be gorgeous, but there are few dings and patches. In this troubled world, it is rare to maintain such an appearance.
Is it possible that there are spiritual veins here that can be mined?
Jiang Feng lacked the ability to look for gas and prospecting, so he could only use exquisite precious light to roughly penetrate a few loess walls, but no precious light appeared at all. From this, it can be seen that this place only has enough food and clothing, and is not rich.
, that spiritual vein is naturally out of the question.
The owner of the wine shop is an old man with white eyebrows. He came out early in the morning and greeted him. It was obvious that this small caravan was considered a regular customer of his. After paying a first-level spirit stone, Jiang Feng was allocated a high-ceiling and clean room.
A neat and tidy room. Judging from the house prices, the prices here are not high, which is not consistent with the ordinary life that seems to be relatively well-off. Thinking of this, he stopped a busy boy.
"Are you a local?" This young boy with pointy ears and monkey cheeks was obviously different from the idle men seen outside. Jiang Feng just wanted to stir up a conversation.
"No, no, sir, you have a question, but just ask." The boy took a spiritual stone thrown by Jiang Feng, and his originally kind attitude was heartwarming.
"How do people here make a living? Do they have spiritual veins?"
"They all make a living by going to work in Huangshui City. Isn't this a war? Some time ago, young men were captured everywhere. Now there are bandits in this area. They are all scared, so they all ran back. In this town, there is usually no one.
There are not so many locals. When it comes to spiritual veins, this place is all loess, and no spiritual veins have ever been discovered, not even among the monks."
No monks have ever appeared? Jiang Feng was secretly surprised. Judging from the strong bodies of the villagers just now, it is quite common for monks to appear, at least of the brute force type. Why is there such a phenomenon?
"Why do the people here look so strong?"
"My guest doesn't know something. Although this place is barren, there is a kind of taro growing on the mountainside. It grows very fast and big. Not only is it good for satisfying hunger, but after eating it, you are full of strength. The people here have grown up since childhood.
He eats it, so his body is very strong, like a calf."
"Then why you?" Jiang Feng didn't finish his words, but the implication was, why are you as skinny as a monkey? Even eating whatever you want is better than this.
"The locals have enclosed the areas where taro is grown and won't sell any to us, for fear that we will eat them and take away their jobs."
Is there anything else about this?
Jiang Feng looked at several taros as big as the soles of his feet on the table, exuding a sweet and waxy fragrance, "What about this?"
"Shh," the boy leaned over and whispered, "Sir, please don't say it was me who told you this. This taro is not the authentic Pujiang taro, but is produced in the nearby Yuanfeng Town. The taste is similar.
But it doesn’t have the effect of strengthening the body.”
After chatting for a while, after the boy left, Jiang Feng tore open the counterfeit Pujiang taro and tasted it. It tasted really good, fragrant and glutinous, but if you eat too much, you will feel very thirsty. If you eat it for a long time, you will probably feel thirsty.
It needs to be improved with the help of cooking. According to what the boy said, the people here are not engaged in production and can live a well-off life by selling their labor in Huangshui City. In today's troubled times, this way of making a living has been temporarily closed, but the people here
not worried
, we can maintain our lives only by relying on the taro given by God.
Very strange taro.
Could it be some kind of low-level spiritual creature?
Curiosity drove Jiang Feng to find a real Pujiang taro. After leaving the house, he planned to go outside the inn to see if he could sneak into the foot of the mountain or a local house and "steal" some real samples.
"Sir, it's better not to go out casually at night." As if he had seen through Jiang Feng's intention, the owner of Baimei Inn appeared in front of Jiang Feng in time, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the boys. The night here is not very safe, and it's nothing.
Everything is convenient to go to.”
oh?
Only then did Jiang Feng realize that this white-browed old man was also very strong, not frail at all as an old man should be. He must be a local, or had eaten a lot of Pujiang taro.
Inadvertently scanning through the phase separation technique, Jiang Feng discovered that the old man's spiritual pool in the Dharma Appearance Space was more than twice as large as that of ordinary people. There were more than thirty kinds of Dharma Appearances coexisting within him, but he was different from the people who had seen multiple Dharma Appearances before.
, various types of laws exist independently and do not interfere with each other, but each type is particularly weak, only about one-third of that of ordinary people.
"Not only am I a monk, but I also come from a family of doctors. I want to find a good place for my lay relatives to treat illnesses and make a living. I see that there seems to be no medical center here, and I want to investigate and see if it is suitable."
"Oh, that's it. It seems that I have been worrying too much." The white-browed old man breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, I would like to ask you not to go far and only move around the town to avoid causing trouble and making things difficult for the old man."
Although he was not a monk, he could see that Jiang Feng was a practitioner, so he did not speak too harshly.
Tonight is a full moon.
This must be the reason why the white-browed old man felt relieved to come out. In the square outside the town, the idlers had not dispersed yet. They were chatting about the daily life of the nearby neighbors. When they saw the arrival of strangers, they all stopped talking and looked at Jiang Feng warily.
.
"Dear neighbors, I come from a family of doctors,..." Jiang Feng told the lie he told again, and at the same time used the phase separation technique to look at the villagers closest to him. As expected, these villagers all had multiple dharma faces, and the most
There are more than fifty kinds, and for younger people, there are more than twenty kinds. In this case, let alone natural awakening, even taking the third-level banned drug "Chengluan Qingyun Pill" may not be effective.
"You came just in time. The most common disease here is insomnia and the inability to sleep all night." A bold young man stood up and pointed to his blood-red eyelids. "If you can use cheap medicine to cure it,
Treat our illnesses, and we can build a medical center for you, no problem!"
oh?
Jiang Feng suddenly realized that he seemed to have found a treasure house that was only suitable for him to extract the residual dharma. Originally going to the slave market in Huiyao City, Jiang Feng also had this idea, but on the one hand, the slaves had to be bought, and on the other hand, the slaves had to be bought.
On the other hand, for people with multiple dharma-appearances, the phenomena of entanglement and fetters between dharma-applications are common. Every extraction requires a huge amount of energy. However, the people here are born with multiple dharma-applications and exist independently of each other, which is an excellent extraction method.
object.
However, he needed to use the pretense of curing diseases to extract the Dharma. He suddenly remembered that he had a prescription for the "Four Spirits and Soul-Moistening Pills" in his hand. Because it required a large amount of soul-nourishing flowers, he originally wanted to use it as a bargaining chip in the deal with Zheng Luda.
, now that Xueding Training Ground has brought him the hope of greatness, he has been completely convinced, and there is no need to use this despicable means to win over him. This elixir has the effect of reassuring the soul and treating insomnia.
"Well, I have a way. Leave me a good place. In a month, I will lead my tribe to open a medical center here to solve everyone's problems."
…
…
The next day.
When Jiang Feng continued his journey, the white-browed old man also came out to see him off. He had already learned from the villagers that Jiang Feng wanted to set up a medical clinic. Insomnia also troubled him, but he still had plenty of money and could buy high-priced elixirs.
It was relieved, but it has not been cured.
Jiang Feng guessed that this was one of the side effects of Pujiang taro. Through simple communication, he learned that the villagers were not descendants of the same clan, so he ruled out the possibility of innateness. From the perspective of food, the river here was not the same as that of Huangshui City downstream.
There is no difference. The only difference is Pujiang taro, which is regarded as a treasure.
This specialty product that can breed strength and improve physical fitness also cuts off their cultivation path and makes most of them suffer from insomnia. Jiang Feng guessed that there should be a special type of mineral vein at the foot of the mountain.
It's just that this kind of thing is not known to the monks.
This is normal. If a place often has monks, it will attract the attention of the monk community. On the contrary, if it is a remote town with ordinary people and only laborers, no one will pay attention.
If he can successfully extract the appropriate Dharma Aspects, Jiang Feng plans to select some remnants of Dharma Appearances that are suitable for him to refine soul weapons to enrich his survival and combat skills. Since he has to go to the pseudo-heaven-level ruins of Master Yuanchu in the canyon
No, the Jincheng Sect has promised to give him three more places, so he should make preparations early to avoid being ruined. Jiang Feng estimates that this moment will come in three months at most, and there is not much time left for him.
This place is really a treasure, and what exactly is at the foot of the mountain where taro grows?
…………
The scenery of Huangshui City is lackluster. The gray sky is the dust blown up by the lack of vegetation on the distant mountains and plateaus. The abandoned fields and shops with declining business are due to the turmoil of the Seven Alliance War. However, the prices here are cheap, especially
There are various miscellaneous books, ordinary daily necessities and low-level magic weapons. Some cultivation families are selling various materials and houses here, exchanging them for hard currency spiritual stones, and moving to the new capital Huiyao City. The rest, or
They are depressed and frustrated, or they are poor, or they have some special memories of Yanqiling and Huangshui City. Most of them are old or have difficulty moving.
The new capital is far more full of vitality and hope than this abandoned city.
It is said that the price of land in the core area of Chixiamen Huiyao City has increased five times as a result. Jiang Feng, who has hoarded land in the past, knows that for Chixiamen, this is a large amount of income.
I spent an afternoon shopping in many grocery stores and spent ten second-level coins to buy nearly two hundred miscellaneous books of various types, covering many categories such as identification of Dharma signs, identification of common minerals, medicinal herbs, common weapon refining techniques, etc. This kind of books are used by monks.
Books are rare to see in the Qianshan Sect, and they are usually rare in Yanqiling. In addition to identifying Dharma images, Jiang Feng plans to put them into the secret library of the Hanshan Sect together with those obtained from the Hanshan Sect's secret vault.
In the pavilion, it is for the disciples to read and improve.
As a small sect whose past leaders and main elders have always worked hard to improve themselves and worked their entire lives, the Qianshan Sect is really lacking in the foundation that a cultivation sect such as the Qianshan Sect should have.
As dusk approached, Jiang Feng once again followed the repaired caravan and headed for Huiyao City. The road from Huangshui City to Huiyao City was said to be solely responsible for the safety of the Chixiamen monks. Therefore, the road here could be passed day and night. Several vehicles
Under the cover of night, the carriage merged into the sparse one-way traffic and headed eastward.
The night was like water. Jiang Feng closed his eyes and rested, his thoughts racing around.
"Second shopkeeper, we are being followed."
