After Zhao Mingyuan left Luoyang City, he rode all the way west toward Zhongnan Mountain.
This is to go to the former Quanzhen Sect ruins and the nearby Tomb Sect ruins. I don’t know if I can find the Double Ninth Festival inscriptions, or I hope to gain other gains.
When he got hungry midway, Zhao Mingyuan stopped and took a short rest.
He opened the baggage that Green Bamboo Man hung on his saddle and prepared to eat some solid food.
When I opened the package, I saw that there were indeed several boxes of snacks. The packaging seemed to be quite exquisite. When I opened the box, I saw a fragrant aroma. Various snacks with different flavors were placed separately. They were probably time-honored brands in Luoyang City.
There was also a small baggage that was bulging, but it didn't seem to be food. Zhao Mingyuan felt strange. When he opened it, he found that it was filled with gold and silver. The ingots of ingots were so bright that people were dizzy.
Zhao Mingyuan counted carefully. There were two ingots of gold, which was about a hundred taels, and there were about 500 taels of silver. The total value was about 1,500 taels of silver. An ordinary family of four may not have ten taels of silver a year to spend. This amount of money is enough for Zhao Mingyuan to be luxurious for a long time.
She is indeed a rich woman! Zhao Mingyuan sighed, but he didn't care, it was just a mere external thing.
When he came near Zhongnan Mountain, Zhao Mingyuan asked the locals about the Quanzhen Sect ruins, but he didn't know much about them, even if he thought about it, after all, it was two or three hundred years ago.
In the end, Zhao Mingyuan used his money ability and asked a local clerk to take him to read the local county annals, and then he discovered something.
After much searching, I found the ruins of the Quanzhen Sect's Chongyang Palace. Unfortunately, it was so old that there were no ruins left. There were only some traces of foundations to prove that there had been buildings here.
As for the nearby Tomb Sect, the so-called water pool, it is impossible to find it.
Zhao Mingyuan had no choice but to use his money ability again, hiring dozens of nearby hunters to look for water pools, ancient tombs, and strange-looking bees near Chongyang Palace.
In addition, dozens of mountain people were hired to dig down from the ruins of Chongyang Palace. They might be able to find some underground palace or something like that.
After struggling for the past month, I almost searched the entire Chongyang Palace, but still found nothing. As for the Ancient Tomb Sect, not even the slightest trace was found.
Time is really the most terrifying thing. The Quanzhen Sect, which was the number one sect in the world back then, and the famous Condor Heroes and Heroes, are now nowhere to be seen.
Where is the beautiful figure in the ancient tomb now? The Condor Hero is nowhere to be seen in the world. It seems that The Legend of the Condor Heroes has finally become a swan song. I originally thought that during the time of Zhang Wuji, the descendants of the ancient tomb were traveling around the world, so maybe one of them could be passed down. Unexpectedly, my expectations turned out to be in vain.
Also, in hundreds of years, the stars have changed, and even the dynasties have changed from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, let alone a mere sect.
No matter how magnificent you are, if you are the most beautiful person in the world, you will end up with pink and white bones in the end; no matter if you are a generation of genius, sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, you will eventually turn into a handful of loess in the end.
Therefore, immortality is the eternal pursuit of mankind and the greatest desire of all people. And since Zhao Mingyuan has this opportunity, he will never give it up.
Then it's time for me to go to the next place. I don't know what will happen there. That place is also related to the Condor Heroes, and that is the ruins of the Sword Demon outside Xiangyang City.
It seems that not only Yang Guo has been there before, but maybe Feng Qingyang has also been there. After all, the name Dugu Nine Swords is very imaginative. Could it be that Feng Qingyang dug the grave of the sword demon Dugu Qiubai? Feng Qingyang did what Yang Guo didn't do back then.
Of course, it could be that the Dugu Nine Swords were passed down from Dugu Qiubei's family back then, as people had guessed, or that Dugu Qiubei accepted a disciple from a former disciple and spread them to the outside world. After all, Feng Qingyang was also the protagonist of the previous generation. It is normal to have this kind of luck.
He did what he said. Since Zhongnan Mountain had nothing to gain, Zhao Mingyuan rushed outside Xiangyang City.
The solution was still to use money power, and soon a local hunter said that he had seen this strange snake with horns on its head in a valley, and asked the hunter to take him there.
The hunter did not want to go there, saying that there were many such snakes in that valley, and they walked like the wind and were very poisonous. He was afraid of accidents and was unwilling to go there.
Zhao Mingyuan understood that he had to add money, so he immediately used the cash withdrawal ability to advance skills and added money. Sure enough, the problem was just because of insufficient money. After Zhao Mingyuan doubled the price and paid half of the deposit in advance, the hunter quickly agreed.
Of course, if he disagrees, the eager hunters nearby will immediately grab the business.
It’s no wonder that in novels and TV, many supporting characters are very strong in martial arts but very stupid. Now Zhao Mingyuan also understands a little bit.
After all, in the world of martial arts, strong martial arts can solve almost all problems, thus forming path dependence. Everything can be solved by force, without using your brain at all, just practice hard.
I am not the same, I can solve problems with money, but I still want to use this method to solve problems next time, forming path dependence. I don't think of any other way.
Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself that he should take this as a warning and not practice till the end and become that kind of idiot with a straight heart and no brains.
But of course, since this method is useful now, it cannot be used.
Of course, he couldn't go directly into the mountains without preparation. Zhao Mingyuan gave the hunter some money and asked him to buy some realgar and other snake-repelling and detoxifying drugs.
But the hunter said that he still needed to bring some special snake-catching tools, so he might as well go into the mountains tomorrow.
Forget it, he is a professional, just listen to him. Zhao Mingyuan is naturally not a willful person, and he also carries the Baiyun Bear Gallbladder Pills given by the little nun Yilin as a guarantee.
However, it was given by Yi Lin on the way back to Hengshan after saving Xiao Ni. Baiyun Xiongdan Pills are not only miraculous in treating internal and external injuries, but are also miraculous in detoxifying.
Early the next morning, Zhao Mingyuan entered the mountains under the guidance of the hunter. Along the way, the hunter made a brief introduction, saying that his surname was Zhang, and the villagers called him Orion Zhang. He was the most capable hunter near Xiangyang, and only he dared to go so deep into the mountains.
After turning around and over several hills, it was almost noon. Zhang Orion finally pointed to the valley in front of him and said, "It's that strange snake with horns on its head that we often see in that valley. We can't go any further." , it’s really too dangerous inside.”
"Okay, then find me another snake like that and let me see it to make sure you didn't lie to me. Even if your mission is completed, you won't be short of a copper."
After Zhang Orion heard this, he had no choice but to help Zhao Mingyuan find the snake.
Sure enough, professionals are different. After a while, Zhang Orion followed the snake path and identified a place where snakes often gather, and took Zhao Mingyuan there.
Sure enough, I saw a snake with horns on its head and a faint golden light all over its body, which was exactly the same as the description of the Bodhisattva Snake.
Zhao Mingyuan slowly approached, used his full sword skills to cut off seven inches of the snake, and then asked Orion Zhang to get the snake's gallbladder. As expected, he was a professional. He found the right place with one knife and took out a dark purple snake gallbladder.
Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly asked how to take Orion snake gallbladder. What are the taboos?
Sure enough, Zhang Orion didn't know the specialness of the Bodhisattva Snake. He just said that snake gall has certain effects of dispelling wind, dehumidifying, cooling, and improving eyesight. It can also be eaten raw, but it is best to soak it in wine for the best medicinal effect.
Bodhisattva Snake, this snake has been seen in Buddhist scriptures, and its body emits faint golden light. Its head moves like the wind and is extremely difficult to catch. Its guts are dark purple. After taking it, you will feel refreshed and your strength will increase greatly.
This was not a suitable place, so the two took the Bodhisattva snake back to the small mountain village where Zhang Orion's home was located.
Zhao Mingyuan gave Zhang Orion a large sum of money, saying that he would stay here for a while and asked him to help buy a small courtyard.
Sure enough, having money makes it easy to do things. After a while, Orion Zhang found a quiet farmhouse. He also asked Zhang Orion's family to deal with the Bodhisattva snake, remove the poison, add some mountain mushrooms, boil it into snake soup, and send it over.
The snake soup made with mountain delicacies and mushrooms was indeed very delicious. Zhao Mingyuan didn't even have a drop of soup left. It was a pity that he didn't feel any different from before after sitting cross-legged and meditating. It seemed that snake meat had no effect, so he had to try snake gallbladder.
Eating raw snake gallbladder is indeed very fishy, but in order to become stronger, there is no other way. Becoming stronger is not shabby.
After taking the snake gallbladder, he started running his internal energy again, and it was indeed growing faster than usual. Zhao Mingyuan was overjoyed. After all, he had gained nothing.
