Bi Cheng also agreed with Hua Chang's statement and nodded fiercely.
They had long heard from the caravan crew that the pills made by the Liao family were very effective in preventing auditory hallucinations and were effective as soon as they were taken. Passers-by must buy his pills if they wanted to cross Fenmuling safely.
But the pills were extremely expensive. Someone from the Liao family specialized in selling pills at the entrance of Fenmuling. Each pill cost three taels of silver, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford it.
Because Shen Yuyun was a life-saving benefactor to the future heir of the Liao family, the head of the Liao family pardoned the money used by Shen Yuyun's caravan to buy pills, and the pills were given away for free.
Ning Fengzi had never been to Fenmuling before. Although he was proficient in alchemy, he didn't know much about this pill. Therefore, he was very interested in this pill that could avoid auditory hallucinations. He asked Shen Yuyun, "Have you ever heard this?" Songs on Fenmu Ridge?"
Shen Yuyun shook his head: "I am a mortal now and cannot resist the magic of monsters. Besides, with such a large caravan, I dare not take this risk."
"But based on my understanding of the Liao family, I feel that the singing was not caused by the Liao family. Because there are such evil spirits in Fenmuling, the Liao family's business has been greatly affected, and even their home has been suffering from the singing. Based on this, The power of the Liao family will not cut off the great benefits of cross-ridge trade just for this small profit."
Yan Yan was curious: "The Liao family has a special workshop to make pills? Is it just to facilitate pedestrians crossing the ridge? If they want to do business, they can still trade if they go east."
Yan Yan had already memorized the map by heart. Yinggui City, where the Liao family was located, was a checkpoint for southeastern trade. Trade extended in all directions. It was impossible to block the way of making money just because of Fenmuling.
Shen Yiyun said: "There is no special workshop for pills, but the Liao family must make pills for annual sacrifices. Every member of the Liao family is given twelve pills, and they must take one pill every month to ensure a safe year. .Otherwise, the probability of something happening to the Liao family will be much greater than that of the people living in the city."
Bi Cheng scratched his head: "Could this voice be specifically aimed at the Liao family?"
Shen Yuyun was also a little puzzled by Bi Cheng's question: "This is what you are talking about. I heard from the Liao family that there were people in the Liao family who did not take pills and were lured to the burning house by the singing in the city. Muling, many members of the Liao family died for this in the past few years, and the population is much thinner than before. However, the people in the city say that the singing cannot reach Yinggui City at all."
Hua Chang said with a smile: "Could it be that his family has done something wrong, and there is some evil spirit out there to take revenge, haha~"
Shen Yuyun shook his head: "The specific reason is unclear, but because the people in the city and travelers inevitably have to pass through Fenmuling, they all know that the Liao family's pills can ward off evil spirits on the mountain, so they ask for it from the Liao family one after another. Over time, Liao family The family simply made more pills, and in addition to supplying them to the family, they specially provided them to people who needed to cross the mountain. Gradually, it became the ordinary business it is today."
Ning Fengzi: "Have you ever participated in the Liao family's sacrifices?"
Shen Yuyun shook his head: "When I came here last year, the head of the Liao family invited me to attend the Liao family's sacrifice. However, since the caravan's departure date has already been decided, it is inconvenient to modify it, so I declined."
Everyone was chatting about Fenmuling and the Liao family, when suddenly someone next to them interrupted: "Thank you for the food!"
Only then did everyone remember that there was Bai Miao in this room?
Bai Miao put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and held them in his hands: "I am so lucky to be born late. I met all of you kind-hearted people on such a stormy night. Not only did they let me sleep with me, but they also gave me tea and meals. It's a pity that I was born late." All my luggage was washed away by the river, and there was nothing I could do to retaliate."
Bi Cheng smiled and said: "We are all away from home, so we should help each other as a matter of course, and trivial matters are not worth mentioning."
Ning Fengzi smiled coldly: "Mr. Bai's packages were washed away by the water, but I didn't see that Mr. Bai was even a little bit disappointed. You are penniless now, and you still have to travel tomorrow, but you are an open-minded man." Oh man!”
Ning Fengzi's words were obviously full of doubt and ridicule.
He is not as pure and kind as Bi Cheng, and he obviously does not believe Bai Miao's words at all.
Shen Yuyun and Hua Chang didn't speak.
The two of them obviously had similar thoughts to Ning Fengzi. Neither of them believed that this man who suddenly appeared in the rainy field and whose appearance was too outstanding.
Bai Miao also noticed that these people were doubting him, but he didn't show any signs of annoyance. He laughed nonchalantly and said: "I am not a rich and powerful person, but a commoner scholar. Even if I lose something in my pocket, I only have a few taels of broken silver and two pieces of cloth, and it’s not like I’ve lost a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. Besides, I know a little about poetry and calligraphy, and I’m a bit of a poor student. I can always make ends meet by attending a private school in any town, so it’s not like I’m a loser. Hungry. Why bother and regret about things that are just external to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bi Cheng immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Well said! Mr. Bai is truly an open-minded person who is not burdened by external things!"
Bi Cheng has been diligently reading the books Yan Yan gave him recently. In addition to practicing exercises, those books also contain many books on wisdom and principles. Bi Cheng has made great progress recently.
Bai Miao smiled and said, "This dear friend is indeed a wise man!"
This was the first time Bi Cheng was praised by a scholar, and he immediately blushed with embarrassment: "Thank you, Mr. Bai!"
The two of them felt quite congenial during the greetings, and when they were about to have a deeper conversation, Ning Fengzi sneered: "Does Mr. Bai really mean the master? Huh, I don't think so. On a windy and rainy night like today, it is easiest for evil spirits to appear and deceive people. , Mr. Qi, with his outstanding appearance, looks more like a great demon to me!"
As he spoke, Ning Fengzi's palms had already exerted spiritual power. He had a fire spiritual root, and his whole body was suddenly wrapped in red and white hot flames. He looked at Bai Miao with eyes full of murderous intent.
Bai Miao's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at Ning Fengzi with trembling fingers: "You, you, you, you, why are you on fire? Which one of us is the monster? Help..."
Yan Yan didn't expect that Ning Fengzi would take action after saying a word, so he quickly stood up and stood in front of Bai Miao: "Mr. Ning, please don't be impulsive. He has no spiritual power fluctuations in his body, and he has not done anything evil. Mr. Ning can use It is not appropriate for a monk to use a monk's method to deal with a weak scholar!"
Facing Ning Fengzi, Yan Yan actually had no confidence, but this was the person Cang Hua wanted by name, and she would risk her life to get that ancestor in.
Yanyan was also completely speechless towards Canghua.
The last time I bought furniture, I had to get a plaque from someone else.
This time I want a man again...
Who knows what the ancestor will want next time.
Yan Yan felt that she was simply following Cang Hua's orders now, not daring to pick the moon if she wanted the stars. She had never been so doting on her own brother Yan Luoming.
Ning Fengzi sneered: "Miss Yan, I am doing this for the sake of your caravan. If this man is a big monster, if you don't subdue him now before he takes action, you will be dead when he starts harming people in the middle of the night." That's too late."
Yan Yan frowned: "What evidence does Mr. Ning have to say that he is the great demon?"
