It turns out that tourists visit Yingge Town all year round, especially in midsummer, when this place becomes a summer resort.
Some tourists even take advantage of the midsummer to climb the snow peaks.
In addition, Taibai Mountain is rich in various precious medicinal materials, such as honeysuckle, Polyporus, Ganoderma lucidum, Purple Hu, Gastrodia elata, Shouwu, and calamus, which are all common medicinal materials in Taibai Mountain.
There are also rare medicinal materials named Taibai such as Taibai Fritillaria, Taibai Deer Antler, Taibai Aster, Taibai Black Ginseng and so on.
Producing medicine has become the first industry in Yingge Town, and many people make a living by collecting and selling medicines.
One-third of the population of Taibai County is gathered in Yingge Town.
Many businessmen also came to Yingge Town to purchase medicinal materials, animal bones and skins.
This place gradually became bustling with business.
In the center of the town, both sides of the spacious streets are lined with medicinal shops. The clothing of pedestrians on the street is different from those in Guanzhong area. It seems that many of them are from out of town.
Baisheji said to Fu Xie: "Sir, I think it's impossible to go up the mountain at this point. Why don't we find an inn to stay in and hire someone who often goes up the mountain to collect herbs as a tour guide."
Although Taibai Mountain looks beautiful from a distance, it is actually densely covered with jungles, infested by wild beasts, and full of dangers. The deeper you go, the sparsely populated it becomes.
If you are not familiar with the road, you will often be able to get in but not get out.
It was extremely cold at night on the mountain, and some herb collectors even froze to death on the mountain after going too deep.
Yes, it is not strange to freeze to death in the mountains in midsummer.
Xie Fu nodded.
Along the way, the two of them encountered several inns that were full of guests.
It doesn't matter to Xie Fu whether he has to sleep outdoors tonight. He has traveled more than 2,000 miles to Taibai County and hasn't even stayed in a hotel.
Bai She Ji felt sorry for him and told Fu Xie to wait while he went to ask again.
About two carvings later, Baisheji came back in a hurry and said to Fu Xie: "I heard from an innkeeper that there is a Qiu Liu Niang Inn in front of me, and there should be vacancies."
"Then let's go."
Following the instructions given by the innkeeper along the way, the more crowded we went, the more secluded it became, and the stone road turned into a dirt track.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Baisheji suspected that he had been deceived by the innkeeper. At this moment, a fast horse galloped past, and the dust raised covered the two of them.
Baisheji wiped the sand from his mouth and cursed: "It's so spicy!"
Xie Fu smiled: "There should be."
After walking for a while, I saw an inn with lights on. There were many horses tied at the door. The horses neighed, and the darkness and silence suddenly became lively.
This is a two-story inn. Next to a red lantern with candlelight, there is a large signboard with the words Qiu Liu Niang Inn written on it.
Two banners hang down from the two floors at the door. The left side says "Welcoming guests on the seventh day of July" and the right side says "Fairy Meets Under the Moon in Qiongtai".
Xie Fu asked Bai Sheji: "Brother Bai, what day is it today?"
Baisheji responded: "Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
Thank you Fu, tomorrow is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Look at the formation, it seems like there will be some kind of gathering tomorrow.
Baisheji looked at the inn built in the wilderness, but there was a lot of noise in the lobby, and muttered: "Damn it, it's so lively."
Xie Fu said: "Let's talk after we go in."
The two of them walked to the door, but were stopped by a middle-aged man: "Dear guest, please stop." He extended his hand towards the two of them.
Baisheji was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It seems that this is your first time here, so the entry fee is enough."
Baisheji immediately said angrily: "This is the first time I heard that entry fee is required to enter an inn."
Xie Fu advised: "Brother Bai, give it."
Baisheji then asked: "How many Wen?"
At this moment, a male guest approached from behind, raised his hand and put a small ingot of five taels of silver into the middle-aged man's hand, and then strode into the inn.
Baisheji was stunned: "Five taels of silver!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing.
Xie Fu was a little embarrassed. He originally had about five taels of silver, but he gave the hairpin to the woman yesterday.
The sound of galloping horses came from behind, and a fast horse reined up at the door of the inn. A gentle man who looked like a scholar jumped off the horse, rubbed his inner thighs, and then slapped his butt, trembling. The legs tied the horses.
Walking to the door of the inn, the familiar middle-aged man handed over five taels of silver and walked in.
It seems that everyone wants this entry money, and they are not deliberately making things difficult.
The middle-aged man suddenly looked at Fu Xie and smiled: "It's okay if you don't have money. You can pay for it by sleeping with my shopkeeper for one night."
Hearing this, Baisheji blurted out: "It's so good!"
Xie Fu smiled: "I'm so cheap, I'm afraid your shopkeeper will have to pay nine hundred and ninety-five taels."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "Boy, you have courage!"
At this time, the scholar-looking man turned around and came back: "I'll give it to him."
As he said that, he put five taels of silver in the middle-aged man's hand, but he heard the middle-aged man say that he wanted this person to sleep with Qiu Liu Niang. Anyone who could make Qiu Liu Niang sleep with her was not an ordinary person.
At this time, he was in need of powerful helpers during his trip to Shenwu Peak.
The middle-aged man said: "Two."
The scholar man added another five taels of silver.
Xie Fu said thank you.
The scholarly man said to Xie Fu: "It's your first time, let's go."
This inn is not too big. The entire first floor is set up as the lobby, which makes it very spacious.
There are nearly twenty tables in the hall, and nearly ten tables are already occupied, with dozens of guests.
Xie Fu took a quick look and found that most of the people were carrying weapons, unlike ordinary tourists.
The scholar man led the way, and the three of them sat down at an empty table.
Xie Fu glanced at the scholar man specifically, but found that he was the only one without a weapon. He was just carrying a big baggage on his back, but he didn't know if there were any short weapons in the baggage.
The scholarly man happened to glance towards Xie Fu and saw a long sword hanging at his waist. He cupped his hands and asked, "My hero, have you not asked for advice?"
This was the first time that Fu Xie was called a hero. He couldn't help but laugh. He wanted a more prestigious name no matter what, so he responded: "My surname is Hao and my name is Fengliu."
"So romantic?"
The scholarly man read it out, as if savoring it, and then asked: "May I ask what the hero's nickname is?"
"The romantic young man."
The chicken in the white house on the side looked strange when he heard this. Isn't his benefactor's name called Xie Fu? How did he become the romantic young master Hao Fengliu?
Everyone here looks strange, the benefactor must have some reservations.
Romantic young man? I have never heard of it. The scholarly man looked at Xie Fu specifically and saw that he was dressed in a rustic dress. He was neither romantic nor a gentleman, but he smiled and said, "I have admired him for a long time."
Seeing that Fu Xie didn't ask for his name, the scholarly man announced his family background: "I am Xiao Gao."
Xie Fu heard the name a little strange and asked: "Zhe Zuju?"
The scholar man smiled and said: "Cao Zi point."
Probably expecting that the other party would ask him why he chose such a strange name, Xiao Gao took the initiative to explain: "My mother was with Gaozi when she gave birth to me, and my father is a very superstitious person. He thought it was God's will, so he named me The word "茓".
This is the Baishe Chicken saying: "I'm so hungry, please call for some food."
Xiao Mao said: "No need to call, they will bring it to you shortly."
Just as he was talking, a tall man with a sinewy face came over holding a plan in one hand.
The food was served, but there were only three bowls of rice and a plate of cold pancakes that were not hot.
Baisheji immediately frowned when he saw it: "Hey, here's some good meat and good vegetables."
The man with a sinister face said coldly: "This is the only thing. Eat it whether you like it or not."
When Baisheji heard this, he lost his temper, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Serve me some meat, do you hear me?"
Hearing this, the man with a sinister face turned around and came to Baisheji. He pressed his chin against Baisheji's chin and let out a dark grunt.
The burly Baishe Chicken was actually almost a head shorter than the man, which showed how tall the man was.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Xiao Mao hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but he couldn't move the two of them with his strength. He smiled apologetically at the rough man and said, "This is his first time here, so he doesn't know the situation."
The hengrou man raised his hand and saw the bowl of rice in front of Baishe Chicken flying directly into his hand.
Bai Sheji was stunned, thinking that he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes.
What surprised Baisheji even more was that this tough guy actually stuffed the bowl of rice into his mouth and swallowed it in front of him.
Bai She Ji trembled his lips: "Monster." If it's not a monster, what is it?
The tough guy laughed, turned and left.
Some people who noticed this also burst out laughing. When did a fool break into the Qiu Liu Niang Inn?
As a practitioner of martial arts, Xie Fu knew that he could control Qi invisibly if he was in the fifth level, just like the tough guy just controlled objects out of thin air, at least if he was in the fourth level.
It is very rare for a person who practices martial arts to reach the first level. Ye Yiquan, who was practicing at the fifth level in Wuxi, is already considered a rare master of martial arts.
The first time he met Ye Yiquan, who was a fifth-level cultivation level, he was also shocked.
Of course, now that Ye Yiquan is in front of him, it doesn't matter at all.
Being able to reach the third level of martial arts is already considered a arrogant figure.
Take Feng Shoudao, the commander of the imperial guards in Suzhou, for example. In Suzhou, where the four powerful nobles Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang were present, there were several more Feng Shoudao.
In some places, there is not even a third-level master in the entire state.
With Xie Fu's current strength, he can almost defeat the world's martial arts masters, but every time he encounters opponents, they are all famous peak figures.
Gu Xuan, the first and semi-grandmaster in Suzhou, the Nestorian Sun of Great Qin Dynasty who shines brightly in Qiu Shangyang of the palace, and Wang Youtong, the number two figure in the royal clan.
Any one of these people is either stamping their feet or causing landslides and earthquakes.
After the ruthless man left, Bai Sheji was still frightened for a while, and secretly looked at the other guests in the lobby. At this moment, he felt that even the lights were flickering, and he wished he could burn a few piles of tuition fees, so that he could feel more at ease.
He gently approached Xie Fu and whispered: "My dear friend, did you see that just now?"
Xie Fu smiled and was about to speak to comfort him when Xiao Gao smiled first and said, "Brother Bai, don't be afraid. They are all martial arts masters. It's my first time here and I'm just as ignorant as you. I'm very surprised."
"Martial arts master?"
Bai Sheji said doubtfully, and suddenly said displeased: "Do you think I have no knowledge and can be easily deceived? I have also seen such masters of martial arts. Like the head nurse of Guanmiao Yuan, one of them can beat dozens of strong men." .”
Xiao Mao chuckled: "The so-called masters you see are just flesh and blood masters, but they are already at the top level and have true energy in their bodies."
