Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

At this time, it was not yet evening, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. It was easy for them to find a table in a quiet place.

After the food and wine were served, he waved his big treasure and said, "Okay, come on, tell me!"

"Oh, why are you so anxious? I can't run away. Let me drink some first!" Bayin raised his glass and drank it down.

Hui Dabao was also a little upset, so he raised his cup and started drinking.

Bayin drank three glasses in a row before he was satisfied and put the glass down and said, "This wine is good, hehe!"

Hui Dabao said, "Damn it, forget about the wine for now, you want to kill me!"

Bayin said, "Okay... Let's just say... Let's just say... I went to the Enforcement Pavilion to check the register of Renxin Pharmacy. The register records that Qingzhang is from Zhaotan Prefecture and came here 14 years ago. Yangyun Mountain and move the register to the Law Enforcement Pavilion!"

The registration system is a policy managed by Yangyun Mountain. If someone comes to Yangyun Mountain for long-term business or residence, they must have a registration certificate issued by the local court before they can legally operate in Yangyun Mountain. Therefore, Bayin can find benevolence in the Law Enforcement Pavilion. Hui Dabao naturally knew about this policy regarding the registration of drug stores, because every state in the Dongyi Empire had this registration system, but the actual management of each state was not so strict.

He waved his treasure and said, "Zhaotan Prefecture...is it the southernmost part of the Dongyi Empire?"

Bayin nodded and said, "Yes, it borders Yeyou Country!"

Hui Dabao sighed and said, "If Qing Zhang doesn't show up in Yangyun Mountain, it seems he has to go to Zhaotan Prefecture. By the way, is his family recorded in the register?"

Bayin said, "Of course, my parents are still alive, and I have a younger sister. They also run a pharmacy in Zhaotanzhou!"

Hui Dabao said, "That's not bad... If you are also running a drug store... I guess it won't be difficult to find it on Zhaotan Island..."

Bayin nodded and said, "You are right, but I also found a strange place in the book..."

He waved his treasure and said, "Where?"

"The strange thing is the three words Zhaotanzhou?"

Hui Dabao asked in confusion, "What's wrong with these three words?"

Bayin dipped his finger into the wine and wrote on the table while saying, "Look, although the three characters Zhaotanzhou are not wrong, they are indeed written in the Dongyi Empire, not the local writing in Zhaotanzhou. , it is written locally as Chaotanzhou!”

Hui Dabao looked confused and said, "What do you mean, there are two ways to write Zhaotanzhou?"

Bayin said, "Yes, you should know that Zhaotan Prefecture originally did not belong to the Dongyi Empire, but to the Yeyou Kingdom. It was also taken over by the Dongyi Empire 200 years ago. Because Zhaotan Prefecture and the Yeyou Kingdom Separated by a vast body of water, Yeyou Country was unable to get it back. In this way, Zhaotan Prefecture became the territory of the Dongyi Empire. However, the main ethnic groups in Zhaotan Prefecture shared the same culture and ancestors with Yeyou Country, and they shared the same culture and ancestors as Dongyi Empire. On the contrary, the empires were very different. When Zhaotanzhou was surrendered to Yeyou Kingdom, it was called Chaotanzhou, which means an oasis facing the Tanye Sea. However, in order to cut off the connection between Chaotanzhou and Yeyou Kingdom, the Dongyi Empire The name was changed to Zhaotanzhou. However, the residents of Chaotanzhou have believed that the name "Chaotanzhou" is auspicious since ancient times. Therefore, they strongly opposed the name change. This led to other places in the Dongyi Empire calling it "Zhaotanzhou". , but the local name is 'Chaotanzhou', and over time, the imperial court has acquiesced in this situation!"

Hui Dabao said, "This situation is not surprising. If the officials of Chaotanzhou issue a registration, it will not be surprising if it is written as Zhaotanzhou!"

Bayin said, "The officials who issued the register are all locals. How could he write it wrong? Moreover, I also checked other Zhaotanzhou registers, and they all said 'Chaotanzhou'. Only the Qingzhang one The name is written as 'Zhaotanzhou'!"

Hui Dabao pondered for a moment and said, "Although it is indeed a bit strange, based on this alone, we cannot infer anything..."

Bayin said, "Don't worry, in addition to this place, I also found another place...that is, when Qing Zhang wrote about his life, he used the word 'Nandu'!"

Hui Dabao asked in confusion, "Where is Nandu?"

Bayin said, "Nandu is Zhaodu. This is the right place for Emperor Nangong to stay!"

Hui Dabao said, "Nandu is Zhaodu...Why haven't we heard this name before!"

Bayin said, "Of course you haven't heard of it, because we are all called Zhaodu, and 'Nandu' is a name only found in a few places in the northern part of the Dongyi Empire!"

Hui Dabao said, "What the hell are you trying to say? The southernmost part of the Dongyi Empire, the northernmost part of the Dongyi Empire, where is Qing Zhang from?"

Bayin smiled and said, "I'm not sure...but I speculate that Qingzhang may be a surname from the northern part of the Dongyi Empire, not Zhaotanzhou!"

Hui Dabao said, "Are you saying that Qingzhang might have forged the register?"

Bayin said, "Eight or nine are inseparable from ten..."

Hui Dabao said, "But is he from that northern state?"

Bayin shook his head and said, "There is only this little information in the book. I haven't found anything else. At present, I can only speculate that Qingzhang is probably from the north..."

Hui Dabao said helplessly, "You've been talking for a long time... but you got nothing!"

Bayin said loudly, "This can be considered a big clue. If the Dongyi Empire is so big, where would you go to find someone...Besides, whether this matter has anything to do with Qingzhang is another matter...I still doubt it. You made a mistake!"

Hui Dabao said, "What do you mean? You mean that the person may not have been kidnapped by Qing Zhang, and Qing Zhang is also a victim?"

Bayin said, "Yes, Gan Xinran's father and mother run a medicine shop, and Qing Zhang also runs a medicine shop. It is very possible that they were kidnapped by some forces!"

Hui Dabao said, "You are right, but the current clue is to find Qing Zhang first..."

Bayin picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on... there's no point in rushing now, let's have a good drink first!"

Hui Dabao sighed, touched the wine glass, and was about to raise it when he suddenly said seriously, "By the way, I'm looking for this thing at Renxin Pharmacy. What do you think it is?" He took out the black object from his arms.

"this is…"

Bayin took it from Hui Dabao, looked at it carefully for a long time, suddenly opened it, and sniffed it in front of his nose, with a strange expression on his face.

Hui Dabao saw this and asked, "What's wrong? Is this a pill?"

Bayin turned to look at Hui Dabao, suddenly showed an excited expression and said, "I understand!"

Hui Dabao urged, "What do you understand? Tell me quickly. What is this thing?"

Bayin said excitedly, "Hey, this is the Demon Fruit!"

"Heavenly Demon Fruit? Is it a spiritual fruit?" Hui Dabao asked doubtfully.

Bayin said, "Yes, but it is not an ordinary spiritual fruit. For ordinary cultivators, it is useless, but for other cultivators, it is extremely precious!"

"A different kind of cultivator? Are you bluffing? Apart from the fact that cultivators practice different techniques, how can they be called other kinds of cultivators?"

"Hehe, you are wrong. Of course there are other types of cultivators. Have you ever heard of the Demon Clan?"

Hui Dabao was stunned and said, "Demons... I seem to have heard of it. Their way of cultivation seems to be a bit special... Are they the alternative cultivators you are talking about?"

Bayin said, "Yes, the demon's way of cultivation is not special, but it is completely opposite to our way of cultivation, because the movement of his spiritual veins is opposite to ours..."
