Jiang Liu looked at the man and woman in front of him asking questions.
Judging from the normal situation, Sheng Junqian, who is dressed in a decent and expensive knight's uniform, is older and seems to have high martial arts skills. He seems to be the leader between the two.
But this young-looking black-haired woman did not reveal much respect for the man in her words. It seemed that there was no difference between the two of them.
Jiang Liu thought quietly like this, then he looked at Sheng Junqian first, nodded and answered Sheng Junqian's question: "I do know some news about the immortality, but I can't guarantee that my news is true. , and you can find Tian Bu Lao through my message."
Then Jiang Liu looked at Xue Ling: "Are you sure you want to mind your own business?"
Xue Ling looked at this young man who looked both mature and immature.
He seemed very mature in his initial dealings with others, but after Sheng Junqian showed off his amazing martial arts, Jiang Liu seemed excited and immature again.
After all, if you think about it carefully, Jiang Liu was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he didn't dare to go home because he lost the medicinal materials.
"If you are on your way, you might as well go and have a look." Xue Ling said lightly: "But as a reward, you have to take us to Baiyun Mountain to find Tianbulao."
Jiang Liu nodded heavily: "No problem."
…
…
In this way, two questions become one.
Sheng Junqian said that if Jiang Liu could help them find Tian Bu Lao, then as a reward, he could teach him some martial arts.
Xue Ling said that if Jiang Liu'er was willing to lead them the way to find immortality, then he would first help Jiang Liu'er teach the person who lied to him a lesson.
These two things are indeed the same thing.
So Jiang Liu'er led the way, and the two of them followed Jiang Liu'er, walking slowly in the streets and alleys of Song County. Although the combination was a little strange, at least they didn't come to talk to them.
"Can you tell us what happened back then?" Xue Ling asked as she walked.
Jiang Liu'er was a little hesitant, but still said: "My family is a herb collector, and my daily income mainly relies on collecting herbs in the forests of Baiyun Mountain, and then simply drying and preparing them, and then carrying them to the city to sell. "
"My father usually comes to the city to sell it, but some time ago my father was bitten by a snake when he was in the mountains. Although he used snake medicine to save his life, he couldn't get out of bed for a while."
"My mother is from the mountains and usually doesn't dare to come to the city, so I had no choice but to carry the medicinal materials here myself."
Jiang Liuer babbled as he walked.
"I have come to the city several times with my father to sell medicinal materials before, so I am more or less familiar with it. I also recited sutras with a monk from the Crock Temple in the mountains for two days, so I know Braille to a certain extent."
"But I didn't expect that after I came here, the pharmacy where my father often sold medicine saw that I was young and was bullying students, so they were only willing to give me 20% of the usual medicine money, because the money was going back to my father to save his life, so I didn’t agree.”
"But when I moved to another pharmacy, they wouldn't let me in at all."
"At this time, someone came to me and said that he could provide me with a good source of medicinal materials, and he gave me a very high price."
"On a whim, I gave the medicinal materials to them."
Jiang Liuer said quietly, the pain at that time penetrated into his bones, and now only a touch of melancholy is left.
"In the end, they used a chain of tricks. They said they would help me sell medicinal materials, but they secretly dropped the package of my medicinal materials. In the evening, when I happily wanted to ask them to take the money home, they threw the medicinal materials back to me. They told me that they had checked with a drug store and found that all my medicines were useless weeds and tree roots, so they just wanted to sell them for money. I was really poor and crazy."
"I took a look at the medicinal materials and found that except for the few outside, they were my own medicine, and the rest were filled with some licorice bark."
"I was so angry that I went to argue with them, but in the end I was beaten so hard that I couldn't move for three or four days."
"Fortunately, some kind people gave me some scraps, so I survived."
Sheng Junqian listened calmly, but Xue Ling's expression changed slightly: "Aren't you going home now?"
"How to go back?" Jiang Liu'er said with a wry smile: "My family relies on me to get money to go back to save their lives, but now that the medicine is gone, what's the use of me running home in despair?"
"But aren't you afraid that your parents will worry?" Xue Ling asked.
"Afraid, of course." Jiang Liu'er sighed: "But what's the use of being afraid, right?"
"When I came out, my father was lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed. It was all up to my mother to take care of the house. I went back empty-handed. I just had another mouth to talk to. I might as well be living in the city."
Saying this, Jiang Liu'er stopped and pointed to a ruined temple in front of him: "This is it."
"Here?" Xue Ling looked at the ruined temple: "Who is the person who tricked you into taking medicine?"
"It's a group of beggars living in this temple. The leader is a one-eyed dragon. Others call him the one-eyed king Xue Chong." Jiang Liu'er said with some fear: "I heard that he is good at fists and kicks, and usually three or five people can't get close to him. .”
Before Jiang Liuer finished speaking, he saw Sheng Junqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Xue Ling looked strange.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's nothing." Xue Ling said with a frown.
She never expected that the other party turned out to be her own family.
And even though he knew he was a beggar, he was able to call him such a majestic nickname as the One-Eyed King.
It always makes people feel like they are pretending to be powerful.
"Are they inside now?" Xue Ling asked.
"It should be there." Jiang Liu'er nodded and said, "The One-Eyed King usually doesn't have to go out to beg for food. Naturally, someone will offer him food. This place was originally a remote ruined temple, but it was later occupied by them and became their lair."
"How could you be deceived by this group of beggars?" Xue Ling shook her head and said, then stepped forward and pushed open the temple door with one hand.
I just never expected that this ruined temple with a walled courtyard was really not a small place. There was a large incense burner in front of it, with some burnt out incense candles stuck on it.
Next to the big incense burner, there were some weapons training equipment such as wooden piles and stone piers, and there were actually six or seven beggars there who were walking and driving wooden stakes in a decent manner.
Rather than saying this is a beggar's den, it would be more appropriate to call it a small martial arts gym.
As Xue Ling opened the door, the beggars also looked at Xue Ling: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
they shouted.
Behind Xue Ling, Sheng Junqian and Jiang Liuer also walked in slowly.
Compared to Xue Ling, Sheng Junqian was much more intimidating. He had a black knife on his waist, walking vigorously, and not squinting.
"We are here to seek justice for this little brother."
"May I ask, which one is the One-Eyed King?"
