This finger ring is sold in the mainland, and is worth at least 400 taels of silver. Shopkeeper Sun previously quoted 350 taels, deliberately saying it was lower so that he could have room for bargaining. Who would have expected that the other party would be so willing to offer a fixed price? He agreed before he even returned it, which really made him overjoyed.
Shopkeeper Sun quickly put the jade ring into his pocket, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it, and then said to Xiao Qian'er who was standing aside, "Hurry up, take these distinguished guests to the upper room in the inner courtyard, okay? Tea and water are waiting for you, did you hear me?"
Before Xiao Qian'er could agree, the thin young man said: "Wait a minute, although the sapphire ring can be sold to the shopkeeper, I still have one condition."
Shopkeeper Sun's heart sank and he said, "What else do you have to say, sir?"
The young man said: "Xiao Ke has just arrived in your area and is not familiar with the place. I would like to ask the shopkeeper to tell me about the local situation in detail so that I can learn more about it. What do you think, shopkeeper Sun?"
Shopkeeper Sun originally thought that he was going to increase the price, but now that he heard that it was just a matter of talk, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, okay! If this is the situation on Okura Island, no one in the whole city can compare to Xiao Lao I am more familiar with you, and if your distinguished guest wants to know anything, I, Sun Zaitian, will definitely tell you."
The thin young man said: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Sun said: "It's easy to talk about. Alas, I haven't asked you your name yet, sir?"
The thin young man said: "I don't dare to praise you, I am so beautiful but not a stone." He pointed to the pale and handsome young man next to him and said: "This is Young Master Cao, over there are my wife and my young disciple."
Shopkeeper Sun said: "It turns out it's Mr. Hua and Mr. Cao. I'm so glad to meet you! There's also your wife and your disciples. I can tell at a glance that they are all blessed people. It's really rare!"
Shopkeeper Sun was naturally talking about the situation. In fact, one of the four of them was very weak, and the other two looked pale as if they were seriously ill. Especially the apprentice looked as strong as an ox, but he couldn't even stand firmly. The woman who was supporting him He also had a sad look on his face, and there was no trace of a "blessed person" at all?
But the thin young man smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Sun really has a sharp eye, you can see it all! As the saying goes, 'If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later'. I think it is untrue."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Why Hua Bushi survived the catastrophe, even he himself didn’t know.
When the "Qing Chi" was quickly swept towards the center of the hurricane under the action of strong winds and currents, all the sailors on the ship were busy running for their lives. After the three lifeboats left the ship, some of the remaining people simply hugged Driftwood jumped into the sea, while others hid in the cabin.
Hua Bushi picked up a rope and tied the unconscious Zhu Hong to the main mast of the sailboat, and then tied his body to it. He was not sure whether this would be useful, but when he thought about it, The mainmast is the strongest piece of wood on the ship. If there is anything that can survive a storm, it is probably it.
Now that there is no other way out, there is no harm in doing so, and even if we still cannot escape death in the end, at least we can die together.
There were a lot of ropes on the boat. Seeing the young master doing this, Hai Hongzhu and Cao Muyun immediately started to do the same.
As soon as they tied themselves up, the "Qing Chi" was already pulled into the dragon's mouth! The thirty-foot-long wooden sailboat was like a small fragile toy in front of the power of the wind dragon.
, the hull of the ship was torn apart like pieces of paper, and the people hiding in the cabin screamed and were swept up into the sky, while some were directly torn to pieces by the wind!
Even the strongest mainmast could not withstand the tearing of the wind god, and was easily broken from it. The upper half was swept away by the wind, while the lower half where Hua Bushi and others were tied was connected to a large piece of the hull.
It was spinning at high speed in the whirlpool. If it weren't for the ropes around the body, it would have been impossible to grasp anything with just human power in this situation. It would have been thrown out immediately, and then swept up into the sky by the wind pillar.
In the innermost part of the wind column, which is also the center of the whirlpool, the sea water is driven by the wind and flies around on all sides, forming a huge abyss as deep as a hundred feet!
When this invisible abyss appeared in front of them, even Hua Bushi was in despair. It was hard to imagine that humans would have any chance of survival if they fell into such an abyss. What's worse, they could no longer breathe!
In fact, at the center of all tornadoes, there is a vacuum zone. Due to the centrifugal force of the rotation of the wind column, the air here is still, but very thin. When Hua Bushi and others entered this place, it felt like being invisible.
His big hands seemed to be strangling his throat!
Half of the mast was connected to the broken hull, pushed by the current, and plummeted into the bottomless abyss.
When he fell into the abyss, Hua Bushi, who was tied to the giant tree, had almost lost consciousness. Perhaps due to suffocation, his mind was confused, and he seemed to have entered an ethereal dream.
He seemed to have returned to his childhood.
His father, Hua Tianxiong, took him to play on the streets of Wuyang City. He clamored for some candied haws. Hua Tianxiong went to buy it. When the vendor selling sugar skewers saw them approaching, he was so frightened that he dropped the candy skewers.
He picked up the straw bale and ran away. The father caught the straw bale, used Qinggong, and flew up to the hawker like a cloud, throwing down a piece of broken silver, and then pulled out the largest string of silver from the straw bale.
Handed the candied haws to him.
Hua Bushi was only four years old at that time. He didn't know yet that he was suffering from the terminal illness of "Qianyuan Juemai". He lived in carefree happiness without any ideals in his heart. His biggest wish was to be able to live with him every day.
When my father goes to the street to play together, we can eat candy strings.
Hua Bushi knew about the "Qianyuan Juemai" when he was seven years old. He had been weak and sick since he was a child, and could not practice martial arts at all. He never showed improvement. Hua Tianxiong called many doctors, but they could not diagnose the cause.
.That time, his father spent a lot of money to invite Meng Wuming, known as "the most famous doctor in the world", to diagnose him. Medical Sage Meng felt for his pulse, then carefully checked Hua Bushi's skin complexion, without saying anything.
It means picking up a pen and writing quickly on paper.
Meng Wuming thought that Hua Bushi was too young to understand the words he wrote on the paper, but he did not know that Hua Bushi had been very smart since he was a child. He could already read thousands of words at the age of six. Meng Medical Sage wrote
Every word of it could be seen clearly by him standing nearby.
He ran out of the house and ran to the backyard of the Hua family mansion to smash his mother's portrait. He hated the world and his mother so much that she abandoned him when Hua Bushi was born.
I gave him a little care, but also left him with such a fatal disease!
If that's the case, why did she give birth to him!
He did not dare to hate his father Hua Tianxiong, because his father loved him so much. His father Hua Tianxiong must have loved his mother very much, so he placed many portraits of Mrs. Hua in the study and living room in the backyard.
But from then on, there was no longer a portrait of Mrs. Hua in the Hua family mansion. Just because Hua Bushi wanted to smash it whenever he saw it, Hua Tianxiong had to put away all the portraits.
Up to now, Hua Bushi has not seen Mrs. Hua's portrait for a long time. He no longer remembers much about his mother's appearance. He only vaguely remembers that the lady in the painting should be a dignified beauty with the style of a lady. He doesn't know how she got married.
Give Hua Tianxiong such a murderous devil who roams the underworld.
In order to cure his son, Hua Tianxiong begged the doctor Meng Wuming in every possible way. However, even the "best doctor in the world" was helpless with this congenital terminal disease. Even if Hua Tianxiong spent all his family wealth on medical expenses,
Meng Wuming had no choice. In desperation, Hua Tianxiong could only ask Meng Medical Saint to accept Hua Bushi as his disciple and teach him medical skills.
When Hua Tianxiong thought about it, if there was anyone in the world who could cure his beloved son's disease, it would be this medical sage. Maybe there was no way for him to stay and teach Hua Bushi the medical skills.
Whenever you encounter an opportunity, you can come up with a solution. Meng Wuming saw that Hua Bushi was very smart, so he agreed.
Meng Wuming only taught Hua Bushi for three years. This "number one doctor in the world" has been traveling around the world and has no fixed residence. It is unique that he can live in the Huafu in Wuyang City for three years. And that
In three years, Meng Wuming taught Hua Bushi various medical theories, and he also passed on his decades of experience in practicing medicine. As for various treatment techniques, they must be improved through practice and practice. He is not a doctor.
Success can be achieved simply by teaching between master and disciple.
Meng Wuming was worried when he left. As a master, he could see that Hua Bushi, his apprentice, was extremely smart and could pass on his legacy. However, he did not have the benevolence to practice medicine and save people, but was full of concern for the world.
of resentment. Of course he knew the reason for it.
When leaving, Meng Wuming told Hua Bushi that if he had the opportunity, he would travel far and wide to practice medicine, so that he could increase his knowledge and reach a higher level of medical skills. In fact, the painstaking efforts of Medical Sage Meng were not just to make people sick.
Hua Bushi wanted to improve his medical skills, but hoped to let him know more about the various creatures in the world and the misery of mortals. He only hoped to make this apprentice gain some insights and resolve the resentment in his heart.
Hua Bushi agreed immediately. He had originally planned to travel, but his purpose was not to practice medicine to help the world, but to seek superb poison techniques and find strange poisons that could kill thousands of people.
A few years later, when Hua Bushi was fifteen years old, he began his travels. The first place he went to was the poisonous gate in Miao territory.
The bottomless abyss at the center of the hurricane was the most dangerous place in the world. Hua Bushi's consciousness was in chaos, and fragments of various memories from the past were swirling around and flashing in his mind.
These fragments seemed to be right in front of him, but also seemed to be far away in the horizon. Hua Bushi didn't even know whether they were really happening, or whether they were purely his own delusions and hallucinations.
Until finally, everything disappeared and he completely lost consciousness.
