Zhi'an made some calculations: "The calculation shows that it is the day when river cucumbers grow."
"This thing doesn't grow along ordinary rivers, it only grows at the mouth of the sea."
After that, he leaned into my ear and said, "Have you heard about Xu Fu's eastward journey?"
"Isn't it just to find the elixir of immortality for Qin Shihuang?"
"You only know one, but not the other."
Zhi'an said that there is an orphan work in Baiyun Palace, which was recorded by the ancestors of all dynasties during their travels.
When they see a rare thing on the road, they will ask around to find out what it is, and then record it, with pictures and the like next to it.
Of course, due to its long history and uneven painting skills, many things cannot be verified.
However, river cucumber appears five times in the record, which means that this thing must exist.
And the places they appear are surprisingly consistent, all at the entrance to the East China Sea.
This East China Sea is not the East China Sea on the current map, but the place where Xu Fu went to sea.
Records in historical materials can only be used as a reference and cannot be regarded as the actual location.
It is said that on his way to the East China Sea, the river bed was full of river cucumbers. An old man nearby told Xu Fu that this stuff was specially designed to cure stiffness.
This is also the first time there is a record of river cucumber.
However, this was not seen by the Taoist priests of Baiyun Palace with their own eyes, and could only be regarded as hearsay.
At a later stage, they began to re-examine it.
After hundreds of years of research, it was finally determined that this thing was at the mouth of the sea.
However, the place at the mouth of the sea is so mysterious that there is only one record.
It is said that every full moon night, a fishing boat will appear under the rocks on the east side of the South China Sea. You don’t need to ask questions when you get on the boat. You just put a few gold nails on the bow of the boat. The boatman will naturally take people to the mouth of the sea. Ask more questions, don’t look around, and get off the boat when you get there.
Zhi'an sent people out before, just waiting for the boat, thinking of entering the estuary and bringing back the river cucumber.
After he finished speaking, he sighed leisurely: "You don't need to tell me, I know it in my heart."
"This thing looks ethereal. No one knows if it exists. All I can say is try it."
I patted Zhi'an on the shoulder: "Brother, thank you for your trouble!"
"Wait for me in three days and I will take people to the East China Sea!"
Zhi'an looked at the calendar: "According to the tide calculation, it will be the night of the full moon soon."
In the remaining three days, the two of us transformed into the handymen of Baiyun Palace, cleaning all the rooms.
On the third day, I asked Zhi'an to wait for me at Baiyun Palace, and I went to the farmer's market alone.
The place was very lively. I squatted at the door for a long time until a slap hit me on the shoulder.
"Coming?"
I looked back and saw that it was the thin man who had contacted me before.
I looked around and whispered, "Just you?"
"Come with me."
Returning to the entrance of the alley before, two strong men like iron towers were guarding the entrance of the alley.
Bai Fenghuang stood in the middle of the alley and waved his hand at me: "You are quite punctual."
"We found the person you were looking for for you."
I quickly cupped my fists and let out a few rainbow farts: "I knew I was looking for you."
"Don't be too happy too early."
Bai Fenghuang said calmly: "We need more money."
I hesitated slightly, then nodded and agreed, "It's okay to pay more, but you have to convince me."
"I do have a little money, but you can't treat me like a fool."
A faint smile appeared on Bai Fenghuang's lips: "Actually, we found this person without any effort."
"To be precise, he came to the door on his own initiative."
Then I don’t understand it even more: “What kind of extra money will it cost?”
After hearing this, Bai Fenghuang burst out laughing: "Because he came to us to ask for your current hiding place."
I was immediately shocked.
Thanks to my early start, we might have been in danger if old bastard Chen Changming hadn't gotten there first.
But when I thought about it again, I still felt something was wrong.
"You're a gangster, not only for money, but also for reputation. You told me the information about your regular customers so easily?"
*** laughed a few times: "I'm afraid this isn't quite right, is it?"
