Qi Yatou said it was a disease common to soldiers in the army. The soldiers got it some time ago when they were fighting against the rebels in the north. At first, not many people got sick in the army, and they recovered after being treated by military doctors, so the officers did not pay much attention to it.
Later, this group of sergeants returned to Jiangzhou City. Not long after, the soldiers who had been cured suddenly relapsed and were highly contagious. Although they were not fatal, they were all dying, not much better than the dead. It is said that in just over a month, Half of the Marquis' soldiers are already sick!
The Marquis's soldiers were not many to begin with, they were only there to maintain local security. The mob had not yet been completely calmed down. He must have been anxious. Seeing that the soldiers were getting sick more and more, he had to spend a lot of money to recruit all the Qihuang art masters in his jurisdiction to treat them.
Zhao Chuan said nothing after hearing this, because a few months ago in Nanfeng County, Jiangzhou County, in order to save Mr. Jin and his three sons who were captured by the police, he visited the county government at night and overheard what the old county magistrate said about Hou. I want to recruit my own story.
Regardless of whether what the old magistrate said was true, the Marquis must have paid attention to him, because he had treated the Marquis's sedan bearer's broken leg on the road halfway up Lingyin Mountain.
Now the Marquis is spending a lot of money to recruit all the masters of Qihuang art in his jurisdiction. If he goes to other people's territory, he will definitely be recruited.
The problem is that I don't want to go, and I don't want to deal with the Hakkas at all. Half of the Marquis's soldiers are already sick and they deserve it. What the hell is it none of their business?
Zhao Chuan said that he didn't want to go to Jiangzhou to find the listed master Xiaoyaozi now. The reason would be discussed later.
Qi Yatou said that the only way is to find and borrow some ancient spiritual weapons to open the acupuncture points.
Zhao Chuan said, do you know where there is an ancient spiritual weapon with such effect?
Qi Yatou said that ancient spiritual weapons are not easy to find. Once they appear or someone knows about them, practicing humans and aliens all over the world will rush to get them, and ordinary people have no chance of seeing them.
Even if ordinary people can see it, they can't get it. Because these ancient spiritual weapons are divine weapons, they will transform into all kinds of strange living creatures if they are left in the world. An expert without a certain level of spiritual energy cannot control them...
The more Zhao Chuan listened, the more disappointed he became. In the end, he simply said that considering my situation, you can give me an idea on how to break the acupoints now. After all, you have lived for more than seven hundred years and have seen a lot.
Qi Yatou smiled and said that you are a human and I am an elf, so the ideas may be different.
Zhao Chuan said, don't do anything like this and help me come up with an idea. Otherwise, I will go back to the hospital and become someone's son-in-law and never see you again.
Qi Yatou laughed and said okay, I feel that the easiest and shortest way now is to find your uncle Hun Yuanzi. To untie the bell, you need to tie the bell.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuan immediately jumped to his feet and cursed, "I won't go find her even if I die, that crazy woman, that psycho, that..."
Zhao Chuan had finished scolding him. He stopped and thought about it carefully. He felt that what Qi Yatou said made sense. The most direct way was to find her.
"Then, if I just go to her like this, can she untie me easily?" Zhao Chuan was confused.
Qi Yatou said of course not, she must first find the person who made her crazy, that is, your master Xiaoyaozi, and ask him to find her and intercede for you to break it.
"Hey, if I go to Jiangzhou and find the master, I don't need to ask that woman to relieve the acupuncture point? The master can do it for me." Zhao Chuan felt that Qi Yatou was doing something unnecessary.
Qi Yatou snorted, "You can't tell me that. I have tested the infusing energy that seals your acupuncture points. It is mixed with my own unique resentment. Most people may not be able to handle it."
That's right. Zhao Chuan remembered that Ghost Master Xiaotian once told him how true energy is refined. It is made by refining one's own vitality and absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world. Some masters also add their own spiritual consciousness. “Practice” again.
It seems that Hunyuanzi is such a "master".
Zhao Chuan thought about it for a long time and felt that he had to go to Jiangzhou City to find his master Xiaoyaozi first. After all, he was the cause of his problem. Alas, there is no way.
The decision has been made, it’s time to prepare the travel date.
Qi Yatou said that since she has decided to go to her master Xiaoyaozi, she should go as early as possible because the strange disease in Jiangzhou is difficult to cure. I heard that many doctors have been unable to do anything, so there is no guarantee that Xiaoyaozi will have a solution. If he also If we can't figure it out, we may leave Jiangzhou again soon, and then end up somewhere unknown again.
Zhao Chuan said yes, he would go back to the medical center now and then leave.
"Where's my Qiankun bag?" Zhao Chuan reached for it.
Qi Yatou said I'm keeping it for you.
Zhao Chuan said that I am going to Jiangzhou now and I will need this bag.
Qi Yatou said that you don’t have spiritual energy cultivation now, and this bag on you will cause trouble, so I will accompany you, I will keep the bag, and I will keep your people safe.
Zhao Chuan was not happy anymore, saying that if a girl as big as you followed me, why would people ask me, and what would it mean?
Qi Yatou said this was easy to handle, and as she spoke, she swayed and disappeared.
"I can follow you invisibly." Only the voice of Qi Yatou could be seen, but no one could be seen.
"This, this, then didn't you see everything I did along the way?" Zhao Chuan said dissatisfied.
Qi Yatou said, what are you afraid of me seeing? When you fought with your uncle, you were struck naked by her thunder and lightning technique. I had already seen it all while staying in the Qiankun Bag. What's different now? Could it be that you have something extra growing on your body now?
Zhao Chuan was speechless.
Qi Yatou then clapped her hands, and a large circle of women appeared around her, the same ones who had surrounded Zhao Chuan at the beginning.
Qi Yatou said that it’s okay if you don’t want me to follow you. Now that you don’t have spiritual energy to protect yourself, you must have a companion to follow you. Otherwise, you can choose one or more of these.
Seeing Zhao Chuanla's long face, Qi Yatou smiled and said, these are the sisters I usually practice together. Well, there is Sister Huang, Sister Snake, Sister Rat, Sister Liu...
But pull it down! Zhao Chuan waved his hand and told them to disappear quickly. These weasels, snakes, rats, hedgehogs, not to mention how ugly they are.
Zhao Chuan had no choice but to agree with Qi Yatou to follow.
However, Zhao Chuan felt that it was not convenient to go out with a woman. "Sigh, it would be great if there was a man among you who are practicing. Why are you all women?"
"This is because females are yin, and elves cultivate through yin veins. It is easier to open acupuncture points and orifices than a male who is masculine. The same is true for human cultivation!" Qi Yatou said.
Zhao Chuan said okay, we will leave tomorrow and I will be here to look for you when I arrive.
Zhao Chuan returned to the hospital and told the Cheng family that he was going back to Jiangzhou to find the officials and the county magistrate who had arrested Mr. Jin and the others to vent their anger.
When the Cheng family saw who could agree, they all said that the matter was over and they could forget it.
Zhao Chuan said no, he must avenge himself.
The head of the Jin family, Jin Changgeng, his granddaughter Jin Yuhe, his grandson Jin Xiaojian, and Jin Yuhe's mother, who often shed tears, all came out to persuade and stop Zhao Chuan.
Jiangzhou is more than 300 miles away from Mengcheng. The officialdom is fierce and there is a mob rebellion there. The Jin family's three people escaped from there, so of course they know that there is chaos. Naturally, no one wants Zhao Chuan to take risks.
But Zhao Chuan decided to go, saying that he saw Jin Yuhe's mother often sad, and he couldn't bear to see others suffer injustice. He also asked the Jin family's three fathers for the address of a big family in the town that forced Yuhe to become a child. Go get revenge!
How could the Jin family dare to give Zhao Chuan the address of that wealthy family again? They had already received life-saving grace from Zhao Chuan twice on the way to escape. They couldn't let their benefactor make any more mistakes.
Zhao Chuan said that's it, I have to go to Jiangzhou to settle the score with those dog officials. Don't worry about me. I have connections in Jiangzhou, so I must get rid of this anger. Otherwise, I will feel depressed every time I think about this when I stay in this hospital. How can I live my life with peace of mind and treat others?
Seeing that Zhao Chuan insisted on going, the Cheng family had no choice but to say that they would have a good trip and return safely after completing their errands.
Cheng Shulan couldn't help it anymore and directly told Zhao Chuan in public. Zhao Chuan said lightly that it was okay and he would go back in a few days.
Zhao Chuan comforted Cheng Shulan and went back to the room to pack his luggage alone. Cheng Shujie came in again and asked if he could not go to Jiangzhou. Zhao Chuan was also sensible and moved to comfort her and let her leave.
After seeing Cheng Shujie off, Zhao Chuan muttered to himself as he was cleaning up that he was really tired, it was so troublesome to go out. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, there was a burst of laughter around him, but there was no one around. Zhao Chuan immediately scolded Qi Yatou for being untrustworthy. He had agreed to wait in the woods behind the mountain, so why did he come to someone else's house now?
Qi Yatou said that you are really good at acting. You obviously want to go to Jiangzhou to find the master, but you told the Cheng family that you are going to vent your anger on others. It is too hypocritical.
Zhao Chuan said that if he really told the truth, Cheng Shulan would definitely go with him. There were two women by his side. I am not a tourist, can I still do things?
Besides, when I arrived in Jiangzhou, the Han family was also there. What would I say when I saw Cheng Shulan? She won't be invisible.
Besides, Cheng Shulan can neither be invisible nor do martial arts, so he is always a liability.
Qi Yatou said yes, it seems I still have an advantage. Zhao Chuan said yes, who can compare to you, a fox fairy with almost a thousand years of Taoism?
The next day, at dawn, Zhao Chuan set off early.
The Cheng family originally prepared a carriage to go to Jiangzhou, but Zhao Chuan said no, just send him to Yangshan County. Yangshan County has a land and water dock, and he wants to take a boat by water.
The river passing through Yangshan County comes from Jiangzhou City.
Because if you take the land route, it will take more than 300 miles to go directly to Jiangzhou City or Nanfeng County, and the direction is northeast. And if you first walk a hundred miles due north and west to Yangshan County, and then take the waterway, it will be closer.
In fact, Zhao Chuan made this arrangement mainly because the driver was Uncle Qin who went to the Yangshan Temple Fair last time. If he traveled three hundred miles by land, it would take several days. He and Qi Yatou could not always tell her to be invisible. It's very draining of spiritual energy and physical strength. Let Uncle Qin know that Zhao Chuan is taking a woman with him. It would be unreasonable to talk about it when he goes back.
Since the road was familiar and there was no delay on the way, Uncle Qin walked very quickly this time and arrived at Yangshan after noon.
When they arrived at Yangshan, Zhao Chuan asked Uncle Qin to return quickly, while he went to the dock to inquire about the situation of the passenger ship.
I learned that the passenger ship going north arrived here in the evening and set sail at midnight.
There was still plenty of time, so Zhao Chuan took Qi Yatou around Yangshan County for a long time. It was almost the end of the year and he bought her some winter clothes and feminine products.
The passenger ship arrived on time, and it was the same luxury passenger ship that Huang Jin took last time.
Zhao Chuan planned to buy a second-class cabin because the second-class cabin was an independent cabin with only two berths on the ground floor and no windows.
Because it was a short distance to Jiangzhou, I thought it wouldn't cost much. Only when I got on the boat did I realize that a ticket cost fifty taels of silver. People don't charge based on distance.
How come his uncle's money has increased so much?
The last time I took a ship was less than a year ago. It was only thirty taels of silver for a second-class cabin after traveling thousands of miles, and eighty taels of silver for a first-class cabin.
In this case, it is better to spend more money to buy a first-class cabin, which has better conditions.
When Zhao Chuan asked, first-class cabin was now more expensive, costing one hundred and eighty taels.
How do you make so much money? Zhao Chuan was puzzled. The ticket seller Xiaosi said that there was still turmoil in the north, whether there was a war or inflation.
"Sir, how about a third-class ticket? It's still the old price, ten taels of silver remains unchanged!" Xiao Si, the ticket seller, curled his lips and shouted.
Alas, forget it, if you are poor and rich, you might as well buy a second-class cabin. Zhao Chuan glanced at Qi Yatou behind him. There was no space in the third-class cabin and he could just find a place to sit. It was inconvenient to bring women with him.
But Zhao Chuan wanted to buy two beds, because there were two beds in one cabin, and Qi Yatou could not share the same room with others regardless of whether she was invisible or sleeping in a bed.
Coincidentally, this ship turned out to be the same ship that Zhao Chuan had been on last time, because Zhao Chuan, the owner of the ship, recognized him as a middle-aged man with a red face. He spent the whole night fighting with the bandits who robbed the passenger ship last time. He even wanted to forget it. no.
Zhao Chuan and Qi Yatou had just sat down in the cabin when a waiter called Zhao Chuan outside the door and said that you also resisted when the passenger ship was robbed last time. The captain recognized you and I also remember you. Now I want to give you free money. Upgrade, please move to first class.
The first-class cabin now costs two hundred and eighty taels of silver. The captain is so generous.
Zhao Chuan said no, we only go to Jiangzhou, it’s a short journey and we’ll be there in two days.
But the waiter said no, the boat owner has arranged it, so you must go there, and all future boat rides will be free of charge.
Zhao Chuan glanced at Qi Yatou and said that he understood the captain's wishes. There were only a dozen in the first class and doing business was not easy, so it wouldn't be troublesome and he insisted on not going.
In fact, Zhao Chuan really didn't want to go, because the first-class cabin was on the second floor, together with the leisure and entertainment public area. It was not convenient for Zhao Chuan to take Qi Yatou in such a busy place this time.
When the waiter saw that Zhao Chuan didn't want to go, he kept trying to persuade him, but Zhao Chuan just wouldn't go.
While the two sides were arguing, a familiar voice came from not far from the cabin door: "Disciple! You're welcome and safe!"
Zhao Chuan turned his head and couldn't help but secretly cursed, "His grandma has legs!"
