"It was a spring that year, and the mountains and plains of southern Xinjiang were full of colorful wild flowers. They were so beautiful that they were beyond human. As for me, I was still as fresh and tender as a grass..."
"Speak humanly!" The fisherman obviously didn't like this kind of sensationalism.
Jiang Fan scratched his head in embarrassment. Tell a straight story.
But he only said that it was because of illness, and did not say that it was actually because his body was too weak to carry the innate energy in his body, so he and the old guy came to southern Xinjiang to look for strange medicine to strengthen his body.
According to the old guy's prescription, there are a hundred and eight medicinal materials, but the most critical ones are twelve. They gathered many in southern Xinjiang, and even three of the key medicinal materials were collected.
However, while they were searching for medicinal herbs, they accidentally heard that there were two other rare medicinal herbs hidden in the Palace of Chu and Prince Huai's Palace respectively. They were two of the twelve main medicinal herbs.
So, according to the old guy's idea, the two got a lot of treasures, and the old guy pretended to be a medicinal material merchant, planning to exchange them with the King of Chu.
At that time, the King of Chu was still Xiang Chen's father, and the young Xiang Chen was still the prince of Chu. But by that time, Xiang Chen had become famous all over the world with his natural supernatural power.
The old guy disguised himself as a big medicine dealer, went into the palace to offer a treasure to the King of Chu, and offered to buy or exchange the strange medicine.
It's a pity that the King of Chu did not agree. Even if the old guy tried his best, the King of Chu would not be moved. Just because the King of Chu, who spent half his life in the army and suffered from hidden wounds, actually listened to an alchemist's words and thought of using this medicinal material as a material for refining elixirs. Why don't you give up?
Originally, the old guy wanted to sneak into the palace and steal it, but he didn't know where the thing was. In desperation, Jiang Fan and the old guy conspired and decided to use a trick to get the medicinal material.
So, the old guy personally concocted a strange poison, intending to poison it on the King of Chu's most beloved son, Xiang Chen, and then forced the King of Chu to hand over the medicinal materials in exchange for the antidote.
Although Jiang Fan felt that Xiang Chen had suffered an unreasonable disaster, his life was important, and the old guy had sworn that he would not take his life, so he had no choice but to agree.
But Xiang Chen is the prince after all, why should he meet two unrelated people?
After careful consideration, Jiang Fan said to the old man's confusion that there was someone who could definitely make an appointment with Xiang Chen. It was Yu Qingcheng whom I had met while collecting herbs in Nanling.
Yu Qingcheng was only fifteen years old at the time. Due to her family's plans, she was still in hiding at that time and did not appear in the public eye, let alone the title of the most beautiful woman in southern Xinjiang. However, Jiang Fan saw her unexpectedly and was very surprised. He has both talent and appearance.
The old guy was more suspicious. Although Poppy had a charming appearance and the Yu family was indeed not an ordinary family, she was not well-known in Chu State after all. Why was Jiang Fan so sure that Xiang Chen would be interested?
Jiang Fan's answer was intuition.
Poppy had always been fond of Jiang Fan, a boy who was extremely intelligent, handsome and cute. She was especially attracted by Jiang Fan's magical makeup skills. The then young Poppy was lured out by Jiang Fan.
In exchange for teaching her makeup skills, Jiang Fan said he wanted to meet Xiang Chen to ask for some medicine.
Knowing that both of them were herb collectors, Poppy didn't think much and agreed to help.
So, a letter from the future most beautiful woman in Southern Chu was delivered to Xiang Chen's house. However, the letter was dropped by Jiang Fan. Replace it with the one he modified.
The general meaning is that I, Yu Qingcheng, will definitely be the most beautiful woman in Southern Chu in the near future. I heard that you are the most brave man in Southern Chu. I don’t know if you are worthy of the name. Please meet me in private to verify the authenticity. Then attached is a sketch portrait drawn by Jiang Fan himself.
Although Xiang Chen was amazed when he saw the portrait, the main reason was that this beauty actually questioned his title of bravery. The young man could not bear such excitement, so he rushed to the appointment immediately.
And what he saw was not Poppy, but Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan told him at that time that he would make a bet with him that he would fall in love with Yu Qingcheng.
Xiang Chen didn't take this little kid seriously, but this successfully aroused his curiosity, and he made a bet with him while having fun.
The bet is that rare medicinal ingredient.
"I am very curious, why are you so sure about this moment?" The fisherman was puzzled by this. This kind of thing has never happened before, so Jiang Fan must be too arbitrary.
Jiang Fan just smiled and said: "I don't know, it's just an extra layer of insurance."
However, in fact, he felt inexplicably that he and she were destined. Even though it spans eternity and messes up time and space, it seems that cause and effect are still destined in the dark.
Fate, indeed, is fate, and there is no way to escape it.
The young Xiang Chen was attracted by the fifteen-year-old Yu Qingcheng at the first sight. And Poppy was completely impressed by this heroic and heroic man. The two seemed to be a match made in heaven, and they were destined to be together for eternity.
It was at that time that Jiang Fan, with unknown thoughts, gave the two bracelets of Manzhu Shahua and Mandala Hua, but in the eyes of the two of them at the time, it was just the icing on the cake.
Xiang Chen, who was overjoyed, actually wanted to invite Jiang Fan to join the prince's mansion to enjoy his blessings in order to express his gratitude.
Of course Jiang Fan refused, but he said half-jokingly - I call her Sister Yu, and you will be Brother Xiang.
As a result, Xiang Chen was pulled by Xiang Chen to worship him at that time, saying that we would share the blessings and share the hardships. And the poppy actually continued to make noises.
Jiang Fan, who couldn't laugh or cry, had no choice but to make incense with Xiang Chen, who was much older than him, and became sworn brothers. Taking advantage of this stall, Jiang Fan once again brought up the matter of medicinal materials.
Xiang Chen didn't say anything, so he immediately agreed to give it to Jiang Fan. But the old guy was worried. After all, King Chu was too tough and refused to let go no matter what. So he still secretly poisoned Xiang Chen with a strange poison, just in case.
The result was not what the old guy expected. The King of Chu, who was seriously ill and desperately longed for immortality, even though he loved Xiang Chen very much, he decisively rejected his son in this matter.
At this time, Xiang Chen's body was poisoned and he needed two rare medicines for treatment. The old man once again asked the King of Chu as the medicine dealer, and exchanged these two medicinal materials for the King of Chu to give up the medicinal materials.
Even though the King of Chu was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to face Xiang Chen's life and death. He hesitated for a while and was about to compromise. Things turned out unexpectedly. Xiang Chen, who learned of the incident, showed his extremely strong style and even sacrificed his life. At the cost of his arm, he forcefully forced the poison out of that arm. As a result, he also completely lost one of his Heavenly Arms. Since then, this family's extraordinary skill has been lacking, and he can only operate with one arm.
When the fisherman heard this, he sighed: "It turns out that Xiang Chen only has the Tianhu pattern on one arm, and it's because of you."
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to do this either. I just wanted to get the medicinal materials at that time. Xiang Chen's poisonous old guy can be easily cured. Who knew he was so strong-willed."
The fisherman couldn't help but shake his head: "No wonder Xiang Chen has been chasing you for ten years, and then forced you to hide in Bailuzhou, and then you met me..."
Jiang Fan sighed: "This is just the beginning. Xiang Chen didn't know that we were responsible for his poisoning at this time, but because the matter has always revolved around the medicinal material, even with his guts, he had some doubts and began to investigate. The matter ...You will know how much Xiang Chen hates me when things develop later."
At this moment, Jiang Fan's health was deteriorating because he had not been bathed in medicinal materials for a long time. Under such circumstances, Jiang Fan decided to start with the so-called alchemist to find out where the medicinal materials were hidden.
After some investigation, I learned that the alchemist was none other than the Immortal in the Painting of the Four Wonders of Southern Chu.
The problem is that the fairy in the painting has been hidden deep in the palace, making it extremely difficult to find him.
After Jiang Fan thought deeply, he asked the old guy to appear under his original name, claiming that he wanted to find the fairy in the painting to discuss how to refine the elixir.
Sure enough, Sun Daotong's name was very useful, and he was quickly received by the King of Chu, and successfully met the immortal in the painting.
