Meng Qingyao did not refuse. He really needed to keep some money for circulation. The territorial boundaries of the Northern Wei Dynasty were not as good as those of the Southern Dynasty, and the control over pearls and jade was very loose. However, Meng Qingyao was a Han Chinese, and there were many things to take care of if he wanted to have fun in the barbarian world. So he thanked the three grim-faced Taoist priests nicely, and after settling the matter of the bright weapon, he turned to ask: "So, Taoist priest, what are your next plans? Do you have a clue about Siniang's antidote?"
"This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Pindao considered two ways when he returned. I still have to listen to everyone's opinions on which method is feasible."
"Come and listen to what the Taoist Master has to say."
"First of all, there is Qingyun Temple, the disciple of the poor Taoist. The abbot Zhang Tianshi has spent his whole life refining alchemy and visiting Taoism. He must know a lot about elixirs. Moreover, Zhang Tianshi is an upright man. You don't have to worry about anything going wrong when you bring the elixirs to him for appraisal. The disadvantage is that Pindao left the mountain in a bit of embarrassment, and it would be inconvenient to show up again when he went back, so he had to go there in person. Another point is that Zhang Tianshi is obsessed with the Tao of Immortality. Maybe he can tell whether the pills in the eight treasure box are elixirs of immortality. But if it’s not the antidote to the poison, he may not know it.”
"What about the other way?"
"The other option is to find the Taoist monks in the Mushroom Gate and ask them to help identify it."
"Taoist Banshan?" Meng Qingyao was slightly surprised and said: "If we talk about Taoist Banshan's knowledge of ancient tomb elixirs, Taoist Banshan is ranked second, then no one in Mushroom Sect dares to be number one. Let them help identify the elixirs." The medicine is indeed the safest, but Taoist Banshan is also the sixth-ranked sect in the "Shaping Ling Pu", so can such a trivial matter catch their eyes?"
"Tch!" Luo Laoqi said disdainfully: "Why are they so arrogant when they are only ranked sixth? The Sa family was still the second-ranked leader in Xieling back then. If they don't like it, the Sa family will help them."
"There are so many heroes in Xiling that we naturally don't take the other sects seriously, but if we can enter the "Shaling Tomb Book", our strength cannot be underestimated. Our Mohists' Guild is only ranked tenth, not to mention moving It is said that the mountain Taoists are secretive and do not easily interact with outsiders. It will not be easy for you, Taoist Master, to find them, right?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace replied: "No, those are the rumors of Jianghu people. It has become a big sect. How can it not even have a place to stay? The beggar gang has to find a ruined temple to hold a meeting. Taoist Taoist Banshan has The entrance to the hall is in a deep valley called Shizhu Stream in Xiangyang County."
"Does the Taoist Master even know this? That's really a lot of knowledge. The younger brother has never heard of it when he is in the Mushroom Sect."
"Taoist Banshan keeps a low profile, so few people in the world know about this matter. Pindao only heard Zhang Tianshi mention it by chance at Qingyun Temple - that Taoist temple is called 'Tianji Temple', and Taoist Banshan is very familiar with it on weekdays. Ju Guan Nei refines elixirs and makes medicines. Only after getting clues about the elixirs from the ancient tombs, he will go out to fight. His behavior is similar to that of the Ji Ling girls in the later period. They are like a handful of sesame seeds scattered everywhere, with the main purpose of finding elixirs. The only difference is that Taoist Banshan is doing things for himself, while the girls from Qi Ling are working for the old lady Qi."
"Why do they move Taoists in the mountains to find elixirs, and also want to live forever?"
"There is this reason, but it is not entirely the case. They seem to be interested in any elixir. Pindao thinks it may be an occupational disease. The predecessor of the Bishan lineage was a fortune teller who made elixirs for the imperial court. Later, he chose to flee the world to avoid disaster. , entered the Mushroom Gate and started fighting for a living, but they did not fight for money. They only liked to search for various elixirs in ancient tombs, even if they were found in the mouths of corpses or in the valleys. You guys Why is this not an occupational disease?"
"Taoist Master, you have the nerve to criticize me." Luo Laoqi interrupted while drinking: "Didn't you dig out the piece of jade that we bribed the guards when we first went to Jinling in the eyes of the landlord Lao Caigu Dao?"
"Can you stop being disgusting when you're still eating your damn food? Why don't you give it away in the end? You won't make an elixir and eat it yourself, right?"
He Siniang listened to the words of the two of them and looked at the pill pills in the eight treasure box on the table. She immediately felt nauseous. She felt that she didn't need to cure her poison. She gritted her teeth and might have quit. At this time, Meng Qingyao also He couldn't listen anymore and quickly changed the topic: "From what the Taoist Master said, it seems that the second method is safer. As long as you find the Shizhujian Tianji Temple, you can meet the Taoist Banshan Taoist. Then we will see if they can take action." Helped."
"Yes, it's not difficult to find Tianji Guan. What's difficult is to find a way to get them to help. Pindao has thought about it. The three of us will go there with sincerity and a kitchen knife. If they know each other, it will be of great benefit. , if you are determined to ignore us, then don’t blame Pindao and Lao Qi for acting wildly."
"In this case, the Taoist Master decided to go to Xiangyang to find Taoist Banshan first?"
"This is Pindao's plan. What do you think, Si Niang?"
"I listen to my advice."
"Hey!" Meng Qingyao said with a smile: "Taoist Priest is awesome. Our He Siniang used to be the eldest son and the second son. She worked in the younger brother's carpentry shop. I pointed east, but she turned north, south, west, and never turned east. , when his temper got so bad that he even dared to kill the emperor’s sister, why did he become so obedient when he came back from the mountain?”
"Go, go, go! The Taoist priest's plans are always well-founded, even if you don't believe him, how can it be the same as you arguing in two out of three sentences? Your ability to argue is as good as Lao Qi's."
"Why is there a role for the Sa family? Does the Sa family like to argue?"
"Look..."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about business. I feel that the matter of Siniang's antidote cannot be delayed. Although we have just come out of King Hui's Tomb, we are not in trouble. We don't need a long rest. Lao Qi is rough and thick. It's better to sleep for a night for that little pain. Why don't we start heading south tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? If we hit a wall at Taoist Banshan, we'll have enough time to change our route to Longhu Mountain."
"This is too urgent. I still want to drink with my two brothers for a few more days."
"I can't help but get down to business. Let's put this worry aside. We will have plenty of time to get together in the future. Brother Meng, I also have something to ask of you. We have lost almost all our equipment for this trip to the mountains. This time we are not going south. We’re going to fight upside down, there are some cave mausoleum tools that we’re not in a hurry to use, but can you make a few more pairs of Eagle Locks and other things for us?”
"That's it. Don't worry, Taoist priest. I've already prepared it. After you left the city yesterday, I started making tools when I came back. What I'm afraid of is that you left some behind when you were fighting. There are already three pairs of Eagle Locks on the shelf. I have a finished product, Fire Dove. If you need anything else, I can make it for you overnight."
"That's enough, that's enough. The Flying Eagle Lock is enough. Brother Meng is so considerate. I don't even know how to thank you. We won't be too polite to you here. When we come back this time, we will take action." From now on, we will see the truth."
