Lord Beidao led the envoy into the capital of the Zheng Shi Kingdom and stayed in a post house specially designed to entertain the envoys. They were received by officials from the Zheng Shi State who were in charge of welcoming the guests. There were too many goods in the convoy, and they stopped in the courtyard of the Ying Bin Post House.
The queue continued all the way to the road outside the hospital, attracting many people to watch.
These oxcarts were only half of what they had when the mission set out, and they were filled with goods and artifacts for Zheng Shiguo. As for the supplies for the caravan, they had already been sold in the city walls along the way, and the last remaining batch had also arrived.
At the largest market in the capital.
Master Cangzheng of Zhengshi Kingdom led his subordinates to come and hand over the items with the envoy Beidao the next day. Master Cangzheng was surprised that not only did the Bashi Kingdom send so many treasures and utensils, but the monarch's wife also
An extra heavy gift was given to the King of the Zheng family and all the Lords in the court. Even he, Lord Cangzheng, received a lot of benefits.
Beidao explained to him that this was because the monarch's wife was in a good mood. The monarch had been unwell recently, but fortunately he was restored to health after being treated by a miracle doctor. The whole country of Bashi celebrated, and when the monarch was happy, he acted generously.
The queen is very generous, but the envoy of the state, Kitao Shi, is very stingy. After Lord Kuramasa finished counting and was about to transport the things, Kitao Shi said again: "You move away the wealth, goods and utensils, but you have to give me the carts and cattle."
When I come back, I still have to pack my things and take them back home." Master Kuramasa couldn't laugh or cry, so he turned around and reported the matter to the monarch.
That night, the reception officer responsible for receiving the envoys held a banquet in the post house to entertain Beidao. During the dinner, he asked privately: "I heard that Bashi Junior High School recently gave birth to a miracle doctor, Mr. Peng Keng. This miracle doctor
I have a very close personal relationship with you, General, and it was you who recommended him to the king of your country. If there is an opportunity, could you also recommend him to me? I have a close friend who suffers from a strange disease, and I would like to ask this miracle doctor to treat him."
Beidao was shocked at that time. Huwa entered the Zheng Kingdom mixed with the envoys. This was an absolute secret. Did the welcoming officer hear the news? He replied calmly: "Peng Keng's family
After your Excellency treated the king, he said goodbye and traveled away. Now I have traveled thousands of miles to your country as an envoy, and I don’t know where he is!...How did you know about this?"
The welcoming officer said with some disappointment: "I just heard the news recently. The king of your country met a miracle doctor. The doctor had the ability to bring the dead back to life and saved the monarch's life. The monarch granted him a fiefdom and the title Peng.
Mr. Keng, I thought this miracle doctor was a close friend of the general, and you must know where his mansion is. He now has a fiefdom. Isn't it possible that he still can't find anyone?"
Beidao replied: "I also met the miracle doctor by chance in the mountains when I was collecting medicine. I forgot to ask him where he lived. But in the middle school, I did have the best relationship with this miracle doctor, and it was I who recommended him to
Your Majesty. As for his back cover, it is the place where the elixir was collected. It is a dangerous mountain. There are only flying snakes and venomous miasma, but no people."
The two chatted for a while, and then Beitao realized that the welcoming officer did not know that Huwa had been among the missionaries. He had only heard about what happened recently at Bashi Junior High School. This person claimed
One of his close friends suffered from a strange disease, but Beidao felt that his demeanor did not look healthy and normal. It is estimated that the person suffering from the disease was the reception officer himself.
This general with a bold and upright temperament was actually very thoughtful. He did not point it out to his face. Instead, he asked the welcoming officer what kind of strange disease his close friend was suffering from. The welcoming officer hesitated to say anything at first, but later he
The general ordered his bodyguard to serve wine - this wine was also brought by him privately. After the reception officer drank too much, he finally said three words in embarrassment - snake essence disease.
Beidao wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back. Snake spirit disease is indeed a strange disease, which often appears in Xiangshi, Bashi, and Zhengshi. It is said that one of the reasons for getting this disease is contact with demons.
A female member of the tribe is infected, but people can’t tell. Is the disease contagious? Because so far I have never heard that someone who has contracted the disease can pass it on to other people through daily life.
Even the cause of the disease cannot be determined, and people can only speculate based on various rumors.
Most people who suffer from this disease keep their mouths shut, treating it as a secret that is difficult to tell and do not want others to know. Even the name "Snake Essence Disease" is a curse word in Ba Yuan. The symptoms of Snake Essence Disease are very strange.
It is not easy to notice at first, but when it becomes more obvious, snake scale-like markings will appear on the skin of certain parts of the body.
Every time it rains on a cloudy day, or when the night air is heavy in the early morning, the skin and even bones near the spots will be itchy and unbearable. Not only that, patients are also prone to have wild imaginations, and sometimes they cannot control their impulses and do some extraordinary things.
Things. When the condition is very serious, there will be all kinds of hallucinations in front of the eyes, and it is even impossible to distinguish between hallucinations and reality.
In most cases, the disease is not fatal, but it just causes a lot of trouble to people, and even more trouble to the people around the patient. Sometimes, although the snake-like scaly markings do not appear on the patient's body, the disease
Symptoms have already occurred, but they often do not realize that they are sick.
How serious will the condition be if you get snake spirit disease? Many people have never figured it out. Some people may have snake disease all their lives, but they will still be the same until they die. This disease seems to be latent. If it worsens, it may
It remains stable for decades. But once the symptoms worsen sharply, two results may occur: first, the markings will spread all over the body, eventually leading to death; or the person will become crazy, with obviously abnormal behavior and mental state.
Many witch doctors believe that the worsening of symptoms of snake essence disease is caused by other problems of the patient. Therefore, you only need to pay attention to taking care of your body and keep your mind calm and awake, and no special treatment is needed. Although this is said, who
Everyone knows that snake syndrome is a "terminal disease". Although it is not necessarily fatal, it is a strange disease that is difficult to cure. No matter who has this disease, it is regarded as an unspeakable secret and will never be easily admitted.
Beidao patted the reception officer on the shoulder with some sympathy and said: "For your friend's illness, it may be a bit unrealistic to invite Mr. Peng Keng all the way from Bashi Kingdom to Gantian City. Let me teach you a lesson.
The solution is to join the military camp to practice Kaishan Jin. Although it may not cure the snake essence disease, it can also prevent the symptoms from getting worse. If you practice Kaishan Jin and Wu Ding Gong, the snake essence disease will heal on its own without taking any medicine.
Already."
The greeting officer smiled bitterly and said: "If I can master Wu Ding Gong, no no no, if my friend has this ability, why would he need to seek a miracle doctor? According to the general, if he can reach the first level and practice until
Wouldn’t it be better to have a second realm of cultivation?”
Ordinary doctors cannot cure snake essence disease at all, but it is not absolutely incurable. If you practice Wu Ding Kung Fu in Kaishan Jin, snake essence disease will naturally be cured, and the same will be true if you have the second level of cultivation. In fact, mountain gods can also
I once told Huwa that cultivating Kaishan Jin is also a way to explore the path to heaven, but this road only ends when you reach the level equivalent to the second realm.
Huwa's whereabouts were not leaked, but such a small incident still aroused the Beidao clan's vigilance. He left the Pengshan forbidden area at the same time as the monarch Hou Lin, and no news had been released before. He returned to the capital
As soon as they made the trip, they immediately led the mission to set off. The mission went straight out of the country and arrived at the capital of the Zheng family. They traveled all the way without making many stops along the way, and the speed was already quite fast.
Of course, the spread of news among the people is never that fast. Now the greeting officers who are communicating with the envoys know what happened in the Pengshan forbidden area, which shows that someone has been secretly communicating with Zheng Shiguo before he led the envoys to arrive.
, someone had already sent the news to the capital of the Zheng family at a faster speed.
While he drank too much, the Beidao family tricked the welcoming officer into talking a lot. The welcoming officer unconsciously told some of the things he knew about, even including the details of some things in the Pengshan Forbidden Area. This kind of
The news could not have been reported by Zheng Shiguo's spies after hearing the rumors. It could only have been sent by someone who was in the forbidden area at the time. I don't know what the purpose was?
This is not a good thing, but who did it? Everyone in the Pengshan forbidden area at that time was suspected!
This greeting officer is the son of Lord Zheng, a soldier of the Zheng family, so this person may have heard some secrets at home. If he hadn't suffered from snake essence disease and was drunk with too much wine by Beidao, he might not have heard of it.
would easily reveal such information.
Although the Beidao family remained calm, they had decided to privately remind the monarch and his wife after returning. Someone in the country was indeed plotting something strange, and the secret actions were quite big!
The next day, Zheng Gu, the king of the Zheng family, summoned Beidao, the envoy of the Bashi state, in the palace. Beidao expressed his gratitude to Zheng Gu in public and presented an additional gift from Hou Lin to Zheng Gu and all the princes from the Zheng family.
Zheng Gu was very happy with Master Zheng's generous gift. This time he made a lot of money. He held a banquet in the palace that night to entertain the envoy led by Beidao. This was also the highest-level state banquet in Ba Yuan.
Zheng Gu listened to Lord Cangzheng's talk about Beidao's petty affairs yesterday, and also knew that he had made a lot of money along the way. He deliberately asked in public: "My lord, I heard that there are actually some people in your envoy team.
Most of them are caravans that were entrained. The harvest from this mission to my country is not small!... Those who don't know, you may think that I have asked for a lot of goods from your country. It was the queen of your country who asked you to do this.
?”
How could such a thing be said in public at a state banquet? This would embarrass the Beidao clan and even the Bashi Kingdom. All the attachés in the mission lowered their heads and remained silent, looking ashamed, while the ministers of the Zheng Shi Kingdom
There was a burst of laughter.
The general was eating meat, but he nonchalantly wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve, raised his head and replied loudly: "I have to thank the monarch for sending me here. It is a good mission to be an ambassador to your country! Your Majesty, you have made a lot of money.
, lent a batch of disaster relief grain, but took back this
There is so much wealth, and even two carts of ordnance. Zheng Shiguo has made so much, why should I, the messenger who delivers things, have to share some of the meat? Don't look back and make people laugh, I will deal with Zheng Shiguo
, only suffering losses but no benefits, then who would be willing to come again?"
