"Hey, have you heard? It is said that a rare treasure was born on the top of Tianshan Mountain. Miaoyinfang, Tongwen Hall, Jiange, Wushen Sect and Diao'ao Island all sent people to hunt for the treasure."
"Who doesn't know this? Not only these five major forces, but also many people from all walks of life have also rushed over, ready to fish in troubled waters!"
"Looking at my old man's dusty appearance, could it be possible that he also wants to get involved?"
"Harm, I am self-aware, and exotic treasures must have nothing to do with me, but I also want to see what kind of good thing it is that can actually attract the five major forces to jointly take action!"
"That's right, it was the Longquan Treasure that attracted so many forces last time! However, the Longquan Treasure is said to be related to the position of the Emperor, so what virtues and abilities does this snow-capped mountain treasure have? We also want to see it."
Unconsciously, more than half of the people in this roadside tea shop had the same idea.
We don’t expect rare treasures, but we just want to see the world. Even if we use it to brag in the future, it will be a great talking point, right?
Chi Yao picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip. He also started to think about the treasure they were talking about: "Tianshan... I just happened to be on the way. Maybe this thing is destined to be with me?"
After he left Twelve Cave, he rode towards the Tianshan Mountains. However, he walked leisurely along the way and has not yet been able to leave Shu.
Just when Chi Yao was slightly interested, an old man suddenly said in a voice that was obviously deliberately lowered but could still be heard by everyone around him: "Do you want to know what that rare treasure is?"
"Of course I have! But Lao Ge, everyone doesn't know about this. How can you know?"
We all hang out in the arena, and this is not the first time we have seen this kind of talk. Besides, we are all acquaintances in Shu, and they all know each other's details. No one should pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
Before that old man could say a second sentence, he was demolished on the spot.
However, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he raised his triangular eyes and showed a vulgar and proud expression: "You really let me find out this time. How about you convince me?"
"You haven't said anything yet, why are you asking me if I accept these nonsense words?"
The man who questioned had a look of disdain on his face, rubbed his sandbag-sized fists and said with a grin, "If there is no useful information later, I will use these fists to answer you."
"Well, young people are just anxious, so you should listen carefully,"
Lao Ge shrank his head and lowered his voice again, "As you know, there is a boy next door to me, and his uncle has a friend's nephew who works in Jiange Medicine Hall..."
"Tell the important point!"
"...The point is, it is said that Jiange took away a lot of warming medicinal materials from them during this period."
"You're not talking nonsense. It's the middle of winter now. Even though it's not too cold in Shu, we still don't want people to buy some warm-up herbs?"
"Hey, you didn't know this. It's not just medicinal herbs used to warm up the body! Let me ask you, would you use croton, grassroots, gale, sea dog kidney, dried ginger, cinnamon, pepper, anise, etc.
Do you boil something in one pot and then drink it to warm yourself up?"
"Are you crazy?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. None of the things in it could be said to be lukewarm, but very hot. Some of them could even be said to contain heat poison! Boil so many hot things in a pot? Do you want to
Warming up or burning people to death?!
"Hey, it's not that I'm crazy, but someone in Jiange just needs to drink it."
At this point, Lao Ge took a step back and said, "Let me ask you, what kind of people are likely to need such a large amount of supplements?"
"Someone looking for death!"
Although practicing martial arts and studying medicine are in different directions, in short, they both work around the meridians of the human body. Many theories are similar, such as the balance of yin and yang, the balance of the five elements, and common sense such as whether deficiencies should be replenished or not. Everyone is familiar with it.
How can we maintain balance after taking in so many hot medicinal materials?
"No, there is another kind, and that is people who are poisoned by cold."
"What kind of cold poison can have such power? It must be a strange cold poison. Think about the rare treasures of Tianshan Mountain... Hehe, have you guessed it?"
"You mean...ice silkworm?"
Someone exclaimed.
There are always some things in this world. Although they rarely appear in the world and few people have actually seen them, there are few people in the world who have not heard of them. Ice silkworms are one of them.
"Does this thing really exist?"
"There is no evidence, I don't know, and it's all your own guesses, it has nothing to do with me."
Lao Ge came forward with a smile and denied three times, which can be said to be quite experienced. However, he did not expect that the wind suddenly picked up the next moment, making the whole teahouse whine, and everyone had to cover their faces with their hands to block the wind.
When they put down their arms and looked around again, they found - "Where is the old Ge man?"
"Blowed away by the wind?"
"How is it possible? He has practiced for a few days, and there was just a strong wind..."
"By the way, do you feel that the gust of wind is strange?"
"you mean……"
"I'm afraid an expert came here just now."
"Then Lao Ge..."
"Maybe he said too many things?"
"You mean the sword..."
"Hush! Silence! Do you want to disappear too?!"
As a result, the originally bustling crowd gathered in the tea shop dispersed instantly, as if one step too late would be in danger.
…
…
A dark alley two streets away.
Chi Yao held Lao Ge in one hand and threw it to the ground.
He was originally resting in the tea shop, listening to the news about Tianshan's rare treasures as a pastime, but unexpectedly, as he listened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the melon seemed to be in his body.
You know, how can there be so many ice silkworms in this world?
Chi Yao is 90% certain that it is the ice silkworm Gu he raised, so now he needs to know more details.
"Hero, hero, please spare my life... This little old man is all alone, with nothing of value..."
"Shut up!"
Chi Yao shouted in a low voice, "Let me ask you, is it true what you just said that someone in the Jiange was poisoned by the ice silkworm's cold poison?"
"No, I didn't say it. They guessed it themselves. I, I was wronged!"
While Lao Ge regretted his act of being in the limelight just now, he kept defending and begging for mercy. He didn't expect that he would be bumped into by someone from Jiange after he finally pretended to be a beep. This must be so unlucky!
"Take me to the sword pavilion!"
"Eh? You're not..." Lao Ge was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that he was not from Jiange and thought he was leaking the secret.
"Stop talking nonsense, why don't you show me the way?"
"Point, this means, Jiange is in the southwest..."
Lao Ge nodded as if he was talking. Before he finished speaking, he felt the back of his neck tighten, and his whole body seemed to be lifted up and flew up.
…
…
Jiange.
Nowadays, the most powerful Jianghu force under the command of King Meng Zhixiang of Shu is based on the many sword sects originally gathered in the Shushan Mountains. In order to facilitate communication with the King of Shu, the headquarters is located in Chengdu.
With Lao Ge, a local snake, leading the way, Chi Yao arrived at Jiange without any effort.
The next thing was simple. The cold poison of the Ice Silkworm Gu could be sensed within a certain distance, so he quickly found the bedridden man. Although he was wrapped in eight quilts, his face was still purple.
Green, Meng Xu was constantly shivering and exuding cold air.
"Haha, it seems that there are indeed more quacks in this world. Do you really think that the more you wrap yourself in quilts, the more warm you will be?"
Chi Yao curled his lips in disdain, scattered the mountain-like quilt with his hand, and grabbed Meng Xu from the bed.
