teardrops

After the two women left, Zhan Zhao inquired about the date of the waiter in the shop, only to find out that it was noon on the second day after he fainted in the mountains. How did this woman bring herself from the deep mountains to Yizhou city overnight?The wound on the shoulder not only no longer hurts, but also itches secretly, and it is already growing and healing. What kind of healing method is this to make him recover so quickly?

Although he couldn't figure it out for a while, Zhan Zhao didn't forget his main purpose of coming to Yizhou, to go to Tangmen to investigate clues.Tangmen lives in Yuzhou Prefecture, also known as Tangjiabao. According to legend, Tangjiabao is surrounded by many traps and hidden weapons. Therefore, although Tangmen is well-known, it has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery.People from Tangmen seldom walk around in the rivers and lakes, and people from Tangmen act secretly.When Zhan Zhao set off, he decided to go to Yizhou, because he had a personal relationship with an elder of the Tang Sect who was in charge of refining poisons before he entered the Gongmen, and this elder later became the head of the Tang Sect. He was expelled from the Tang Sect during the battle for the position. I heard that he lives in Yizhou now, so I want to find out his whereabouts here.

At the moment when he was about to leave the room, Xiao Er graciously offered him his blue shirt that had been cleaned and mended. Zhan Zhao looked at the clothes. The warp and weft weaving of the cloth before the cloth is patched is normal, and there is no trace of patching at all. This may be from the hand of the woman named Liuli.

He changed back into his clothes, Xiao Er graciously led Ao Shuang out for him again, Zhan Zhao was surprised again, this horse was nine feet high, tall and handsome, as white as frost, it was indeed a rare good horse in the world, the bridle was unexpectedly It is carved from purple jade, which is noble and extraordinary.Zhan Zhao has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is entering the palace again. With such a mount, even the imperial horse is far behind. He sighed in his heart, but now he has no time to sigh anymore, so he got on the horse and galloped away.

"Liuli, this hexagram is very fierce."

In the center of Yizhou city, under the imperial city, Ruier looked at the three copper coins lying quietly on the ground.

"Why? This is the hexagram 'Qian', which means Yuan Henryzhen, and it has no malicious intentions."

"Master once taught me that most people in the world know whether or not Taiji is coming. If you know Taiji, you will not come. This hexagram still has the ninth day of the first day. Don't use Qianlong to understand it. I am afraid that Huanzhu has already left Yizhou City. We can no longer find her whereabouts. And if you act carelessly and cover up your whereabouts, you will be in great trouble."

"The world is so big, if Huanzhu deliberately hides it, where can I find her?" Liuli knew that Rui'er had been instructed by a master in performing the Zhouyi, so she had no objection, "And those yakshas who escaped dare to make trouble again?"

"I do feel that she has been to Yizhou, but where did she go now?" Rui'er closed her eyes and meditated, "She entered the city from the west gate, arrived at the center of the city, stayed for a while, and then left through the east gate. I can't feel the marks anymore."

"Rui'er, I think this matter is very strange, maybe there is a big figure behind the scenes to instigate."

"Liu Li, I think the same way. I just came back from Longhu Mountain, and before I returned to the palace, the Magic Orb took advantage of my defenselessness to steal my natal Dragon Ball. I followed the trace all the way, but was chased and killed by the Yasha clan all the way, lost the dragon ball, I became a horned dragon with no magic power, if I hadn't met Mr. Zhan, and you arrived in time, I would have died in Jiuquan long ago."

"And all this before and after is a carefully set up game. Although Huanzhu belongs to the Merman, not you and I belong to the Dragon Clan, but they have been loyal to the Dragon Clan for generations. The Merman Clan has never rebelled against the Dragon Clan. It cannot be planned by Huanzhu alone."

"Rui'er, you're right, I think so too. But who would have the guts to commit the crime of stealing pearls and slaying dragons? This is against the rules of heaven." Liuli was still puzzled.

The innocence on Rui'er's pretty face disappeared at this moment, replaced by worry and pain: "Liuli, Huanzhu committed a serious crime, the emperor will definitely not forgive her, she..." Thinking of the severe punishment of the emperor, the two lines Tears flowed down her jade-like cheeks, "What should I do, how can I just watch her being tortured?"

"Okay, Ruier," Liuli comforted softly, "The three of us grew up together, of course you don't want her to be punished for this, and I don't believe she did it on purpose." For the noble Dragon Princess, it is more anxious than losing her life, but Rui'er is always thinking about the safety of that humble mermaid, Rui'er, love is deep and lifeless.Liuli said in her heart.But didn't say it out,

"Since she left from the east gate, she must have gone to the east. We will follow the trail and find her."

Twenty miles to the northwest of Yizhou city.Piyi.

Thatched huts in bamboo forests, small bridges and streams are the most ordinary people in western Sichuan.

Mr. Cui Shangwei has lived here for three years. Mr. Cui is about [-] years old and very vigorous. Although he has no wife and no children and is alone, he is proficient in medical skills and is a well-known doctor.Mr. Cui's medicine can cure all the diseases of the country people, but the consultation fee charged by Mr. Cui is very low. For the poor and destitute, the consultation fee is often waived.Therefore, although Mr. Cui's origin is unknown and he seldom communicates with others except for medical treatment, his reputation in the local area is extremely high.

Cui Shangwei had just sent away the old woman who was asking for medicine in Qiancun, and was about to go to the field to collect the mature Chuanxiong that he had planted himself, when he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near.In an instant, a magnificent white horse rushed to the front like lightning.The rider jumped off his horse, walked up to Cui Shangwei respectfully, and bowed his hands:

"Elder Tang, are you safe?"

Mr. Cui looked at the young man in front of him: his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and he was dressed in blue, dignified but chic.Can't help clapping hands and laughing:

"Nan Xia Zhan Zhao! After three years, you still remember my old bones!" while leading Zhan Zhao to the hut, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you are as handsome as yesterday, come in and have a drink with me!"

"Thank you Elder Tang."

The two entered the house together.Three years ago, when Zhan Zhao was still roaming the rivers and lakes, he rescued Elder Tang Shi who was defeated in the battle for the head of the Tang Sect. Tang Shi was defeated and his poisonous skills were abolished, so he changed his name to Cui Shangwei. She lived in seclusion outside Yizhou City.Tang Shi was in charge of refining poison at the Ten Great Elders of the Tang Sect, so Zhan Zhao came here from thousands of miles to visit him.

"Thanks to Nan Xia's rescue, I was able to spend the rest of my life here." Tang Shi took out his own collection of fine wine and two exquisite hand-carved wooden cups, and poured a cup for Zhan Zhao: "The scenery here is beautiful, The folk customs are simple. Looking back on this old man’s life, he devoted himself to the study of poison all day long, and he did not know how many people were harmed. Practicing medicine here to save people is a kind of atonement for himself.”

"Nan Xia, let's try the local specialty wine. It is brewed by covering bamboo tubes with banana leaves. Although it is not well-known, it must not be missed!"

Picking up the wine glass, Zhan Zhao smelled a strong aroma of wine. He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp. It was indeed mellow and long-lasting, with endless aftertaste, "Good wine!"

"I don't want Elder Shi to enjoy the pastoral joy here." Zhan Zhao cut to the point, "Zhan Zhao came here to ask Elder Shi for advice!"

"The old man knows that Nan Xia will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If there is any old man who can help, Nan Xia just says it's okay!" Tang Shi said bluntly.

Zhan Zhao then told Tang Shi about the strange case that happened in the capital today. After Tang Shi listened to it, Nian Xu thought for a long time, and said to Zhan Zhao: "Nan Xia thinks right, this is indeed a kind of poison."

"Could this be done by people from the Tang Sect?"

"No, this poison is not the poison of the Tang Sect." Tang Shi said, "I have read the Tang Sect Poison Secret Book "Five Poisons Secret Classic" many years ago, and it records a strange poison called 'Shark Bead' Sand' is made from the blood of sharks. If a person is poisoned, the condition of the deceased is exactly the same as that of the deceased described by Nan Xia. But sharks are legendary monsters in the sea, which are hard to find in the world, so this poison cannot be refined. For more than [-] years, the poison chamber of the Tang Sect has been trying to replace the mermaid blood with other substances, but it was impossible to produce the same perfect poison. Severely injured in the sneak attack, forced to leave Tang Sect."

Tang Shi couldn't help showing endless emotion when he said that, "Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, and I was able to spend my old age here peacefully and enjoy the bliss of the countryside."

"When it comes to poison production, the Tang Sect is definitely the best in the world. If Elder Shi tried his best and failed to refine it, then who can use this poison to wreak havoc and harm people?" Zhan Zhao said with a frown, " Can people from the Tang Sect refine this poison now?"

"When it comes to conspiracies and tricks, this old man can't compare to those traitors, but when it comes to those scum's toxicology and refining techniques, this old man can't help but look down on them." Tang Shi said proudly.

Zhan Zhao thought, Tang Shi is not good at scheming, so Tang Shi's words are extremely credible, but in this way, the case is even more complicated and confusing.Right now, I can only return to Tokyo to report to the adults before making a decision.Then he got up and said goodbye to Tang Shi:

"Thank you, Elder Tang, for your guidance. Zhan Zhao has important things to do, so I will take my leave."

Tang Shi struggled to stay, Zhan Zhao bid farewell again and again, but Tang Shi couldn't keep him, so he sent Zhan Zhao outside the door.Zhan Zhao turned over and stepped onto Aoshuang, waved goodbye to Tang Shi, and left in the dust.
