October of the Gregorian calendar, the golden autumn season, is a good time to travel.
Lu Cheng drove a car and took Jiang Qiuyun around for hundreds of miles, including Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changshu.
After arriving in the magical capital, he felt a little uncomfortable, as if the eye in the sky was watching him.
That's right, the Shanghai police are still investigating the disappearance of three people! Although the task force was withdrawn, there are still two people, veteran police detective Hong Renzhong and young policewoman Xu Xiaoyan, who continue to investigate the matter.
Xu Xiaoyan was almost bored to death and kept complaining: "Master, when will this case be over? I don't want to do it anymore!"
Hong Renzhong sighed: "If it were an ordinary family, missing for so long, the case would have been closed long ago."
"Master, we contacted the Quancheng police and the Daicheng police, but they were not very cooperative and said that we had chosen the wrong direction. There is no basis and evidence. We should not involve Lu Cheng in this matter. After all, he is a billionaire. He is still an elite in the sports world and is equivalent to a hero in the land of Qilu."
"I have been a police officer for more than thirty years and have solved hundreds of cases. It is almost certain that this case is related to Lu Cheng! Think about it, Huo Mingan is his mentor and Huo Yuanyuan is his senior sister. The two days when the three disappeared , he happens to be in the magical city! Who else but him can handle this case without anyone noticing?"
"Master, Lu Cheng is not a god! If he did it, how could he not leave any clues?"
"Because he has miracles! He survived two train crashes! It is said that he also gave thousands of words of amulets to the country. I can't help but wonder, since he can make amulets, can he make amulets? Where are the other talismans?"
"Master, these are all speculations. There is no evidence. Why don't you just stare blankly?"
"Lu Cheng has come to the Magic City again. Keep an eye on him with your eyes to see if there is anything weird about him."
Lu Cheng felt uncomfortable in the magical city, so he only stayed for one day and drove away.
In this only one day, Jiang Qiuyun completed the contract for "Soul Flying to the Palace of Chu" and signed an agreement with a famous film and television drama company to prepare for filming a 72-episode TV series.
When I returned to Suzhou, it was already October 13th.
Jiang Qiuyun completed the idea and prepared to write a new book called "Clouds Rising from the Sky Mountain". This is a history, based on Zuo Zongtang's army to conquer Japan, mixed with the love and hatred of little people.
She had never written a similar book, so she wanted to challenge herself. .c0m
After all, she is a graduate student in the literature department and cannot just be an Internet expert. On average, the network quality is low, and many works cannot withstand scrutiny. She wants to write something that will be judged! It’s best to win the Mao Dun Literature Award!
Previously, her work participated in the selection of this award and finally reached the top five, but failed to win the grand prize.
She feels that if she cannot win the grand prize, her life will not be perfect.
In order to write this new book, she specially applied for a reading pass from the Suzhou Library. She also contacted Zhang Hong, a professor in the History Department of Qilu University, and asked him to point out the books she needed to read and relevant historical materials.
Previously, she followed Lu Cheng to Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang. She had some understanding of the local customs and environment, but she still needed to read more information to describe the magnificent scenes.
Lu Cheng could not help his wife, so he could only provide her with spiritual tea, fruits, and dried fish.
Jiang Qiuyun ate a small dried fish and didn't need to eat for three days. She only needed to make a pot of spiritual tea, and her thoughts would flow like a fountain and she could write many words in one breath.
And at midnight, Lu Cheng's soul wandered to another world again.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the place he was in had changed again. The convoy had left Chiang Kingdom and had arrived at "Zhongrong Kingdom".
There is a specialty product of Zhongrong Kingdom. The trees bear brown-red fruits, which are called "mushi".
It is similar to the "Zhizhizi" of later generations, but two or three times larger.
Lu Cheng majored in acupuncture and had a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine. He knew that Hovenia truncatula, also known as wood honey and jujube, looks like chicken feet, is sweet and delicious, and has both medicinal and food value.
The nature and flavor of Hovenia truncatula are sweet, sour, mild, non-toxic, and have the effect of relieving alcohol poisoning. The whole body of Zhi Zhi is a treasure. The root of Hovenia dulcis can cure labor injury, vomiting blood, and rheumatism, muscle and bone pain. The bark of Hovenia dulcis bark can relieve food accumulation and has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation. Clinically, Fructus Aurantii is mainly used to relieve hangover.
In ancient times, this fruit was common. "Poetry" said: "Those who have thick wood are covered with branches, and those who are covered with branches will hurt their hearts." Pu Songling of the Qing Dynasty "Liaozhaizhiyi·Sansheng" "Liu Xiaolian then determined not to destroy the living species and ate the wood."
Lu Cheng spent two jade coins to buy a large bag of daffodil seeds. They tasted sweet and rich in spiritual energy, which was very different from the fruits of later generations. In later generations, why were the seeds of Hovenia dulcis only used as traditional Chinese medicine and not as food? Because its taste was not very good, it was replaced by other foods.
One day later, the convoy left Zhongrong Kingdom and trekked for four or five days in the grassy wilderness before arriving at "Dongkou Mountain". At the foot of the mountain was a country of gentlemen, neatly dressed and with swords on their bodies.
The so-called neat clothes basically refer to clothes made of linen. Few people wear animal skin skirts, exposing half of their bodies. Most of the swords they wear are bronze swords. Bronze is an alloy and is often polished. Its color is purple-red. The sword has simple decorations and no profound runes, so it is not considered a magic weapon.
They raise wild animals and always have two big tigers with them. They are gentle, tolerant and do not like to fight. There is a kind of plant in the country of Junzi, called fumigation. It has a very short lifespan. It grows in the morning and dies in the evening.
Lu Cheng was not interested in the trained tiger. He was only interested in the "smoke grass".
People in the country of gentlemen brought dried fumigation grass and exchanged it with merchants.
Lu Cheng looked on and smelled a strong aroma. He heard them say: "Chinese fumigation is a kind of spice. Use it to smoke clothes. The fragrance can last all day. Smelling it makes you feel peaceful." , is calm and does not like to fight with people. Even if a tiger smells it, it will not bite! Because of this, our people carry its scent with them when they go out, which can reduce attacks by monsters."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "According to what these people say, fumigation is really a good thing."
However, those merchants did not harvest more fumigation grass. For example, the old merchant Jiong Sheng only collected a hundred plants and then gave up.
Lu Cheng asked: "Uncle, why don't you charge more?"
Jiong Sheng shook his head: "Someone in our Jiu tribe grows this kind of vanilla. I saw that its price is not high, so I harvested a little."
"Uncle, can this kind of grass really make monsters avoid it?"
"It has a certain effect, but you can't count on it. In addition to fumigation, the people of Junzi Kingdom also practice a special technique. The fragrance of fumigation can make monsters have illusions, so they will not attack them. .”
"Ah? So that's it! Uncle, how do you know?"
"Haha, I've been here before. When you go out to do business, you have to know the information. We have spiritual wizard-level elders in our business hall, and they often tell stories in the hall. These things are all mentioned in the stories."
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "It seems that spirit witches are not uncommon among the Jiu tribe, just like great witches are among the Seventy-two Yi tribe."
He saw that the people from the Junzi Kingdom sent bundles of fumigation grass, but the merchants refused to accept them. The people from the Junzi Kingdom felt frustrated, so they picked up the fumigation grass and walked back, so he followed them to a place farther away. He called these people to stop and spent three hundred jade coins to buy fumigation grass, which weighed almost two thousand kilograms.
At this time, the merchants were busy doing business; Wu Shuang narrowed his eyes and selected the young man from the gentleman's country.
Everywhere he went, Wu Sheng had to select elites from all races.
Places like Zhongrong Kingdom and Junzi Kingdom, although they are called "country", are actually large ethnic groups. If the population exceeds 100,000, they can be called "country". Some ethnic groups, such as the "Giant Kingdom", have a sparse population of only a few thousand people. However, because they are the descendants of a certain big shot because of their ancestors, they can also be called a "country" to the outside world. _&
