Chapter 243 Asking for advice
Gao Hu met Zhao Zhen and his party, greeted him with courtesy, and greeted him in the hall. He said happily: "Brother-in-law, I heard Qingwan say that you fought in the fantasy world, but you won?"< br>
Zhao Zhen said: "Thank you for your concern, brother. Everything is fine in the fantasy world. I still need to clean up the beginning and end. But I came here this time to ask my brother about something."
"What's the matter? I have to make a trip. Just tell your subordinates to send a message."
Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, do you know Anling Qudui?"
Gao Hu said: "How do brothers know?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Last time I came back to this transaction, Song Shiqin, the head of Song Township, told me that he wanted to invite me to Anling Qudui. This afternoon, he sent someone to send a letter to I want to talk to you in detail. I didn’t know how powerful it was, so I came over to ask my brother." After hearing this, Gao Hu nodded and told Zhao Zhen everything he knew. Part of it is the same as what Ji Qingwan said, but it is much more detailed.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, mist will appear in Anlinghudui, from which all kinds of ghosts and monsters will appear, mainly zombies, tomb beasts and ghosts.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother, I wonder if Song Shiqin asked my brother for help?"
Gao Hu shook his head and said: "Brother, I don't have Taoist priests, monks, nuns or other outsiders who practice Taoism here, so I didn't invite me."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's not that the qi and blood are strong. Can a strong man cope with it?"
Gao Hu said: "Even so, it's just that such people can only exert six or seven points if they lose ten percent of their strength. They might as well be raised by reading the books of sages. Haoran Qi is useful. If you want to go, brother, you should choose a monk or a Taoist priest first, and then prepare some magic weapons. If you don't have any weapons, prepare more yang things such as glutinous rice, black dog blood, cockscomb blood, etc. These can restrain ghosts and evil spirits. . ”
“Anlingquan is not big, about a hundred feet long from north to south, and about seventy feet long from east to west. Now the Song family has built a two-foot-high wall, leaving only the west and south gates. To prevent ordinary villagers from entering by mistake, not many people can enter Qudui. It depends on the number of tombs opened. You must be prepared."
Zhao Zhen asked again: "Brother, since it is built there. If you build a wall, zombies and other ghosts can’t break out, so why invite outsiders?”
Gao Hu said: "Who said ghosts can't break out. If nothing else, ghosts can easily pass through walls. Inviting foreign aid is also a last resort. Every tomb has its owner. Only by removing the owner of the tomb can the fog dissipate and there will be no more ghosts rushing out. Yi Ping disappeared. This was summed up after the Song family suffered a big loss."
After talking about this, Gao Hu chatted with Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian. He also asked the two of them not to follow him.
Ji Minghan said: "Brother, my two sisters have practiced martial arts since they were young, and their energy and blood are not weaker than those of men. Why can't they go?"
Gao Hu said: "That's not to say. As long as your Qi and blood are strong, there are many ladies who go to Anlinggudui, but later I discovered that too much Qi and blood are consumed, and most of the ladies will be sluggish for a while after coming out of the fog, so I won't let you two go together."< br>
Ji Minghan pulled out a wooden sword from her waist, handed it to Gao Hu, and said, "Brother, have you forgotten? On the day we got engaged, my husband gave each of us a sapodilla dagger. This is a dagger. A second-level treasure with a handle made of peach wood, which can kill ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.”
Gao Hu said: "This is enough to protect yourself."
The four of them chatted for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Zhen said goodbye and wanted to leave. Gao Hu tried to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't. He had no choice but to send Zhao Zhen out of the village gate.
The group of people rode back to the house. As soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, Su Dong came in and said, "Master, Lu Sanlang is here to invite you."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen got up and went to Lu Zhuocheng's shop.
When he pushed the door open and went in, he saw Lu Zhuocheng drinking tea with someone. He was tall, with a thin face and bright eyes. Lu Zhuocheng made an introduction, saw the ceremony, and sat down again.
Lu Zhuocheng said: "Zhao Erlang, is the [Zhuantianliufen] ready? Zhang Yuanwai's pearl rice has been shipped. The two of us will come over first to make it clear. Pearl rice is fifty dan, and the rice is shipped according to the shipping regulations. 60% of the rice is equivalent to ninety-three stones. But you have to pay the commission, how about it?”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: “It doesn’t matter, Zhang will wait a moment, I’ll get Liu Bian and ask him to take a look at it?” ." After that, Zhao Zhen got up and went to the backyard to get five portions of willow seeds and handed them to Lu Zhuocheng.
Lu Zhuocheng took it, put it on the table, and counted it in front of the two people. The number was correct. Lu Zhuocheng said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Yuanwai, how are you?"
Seeing the physical enhancement spiritual object in front of him, Zhang Yuanwai with a serious face couldn't help but smile at this time and said: "Okay. Shopkeeper Lu Guoran's family Learn the origins, and you can find the right spiritual object in a short time.”
After saying hello, an accompanying banker came in outside. Zhang Yuanwai said: "Da Lang, you ride a horse to meet the convoy and lead the convoy over."
The banker responded and turned away. .
Seeing that the business was done, Lu Zhuocheng stepped forward to replenish the water.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Zhang Yuanwai, I wonder if I can buy pearl rice from you in the future?"
Zhang Yuanwai hesitated and said: "I don't know how much Zhao Lizheng wants. I have a year there. It can only produce less than 100 stones of pearl rice, and the rest is just first-level crops such as golden wheat and crystal rice. These grains have fixed destinations and are not easy to change at will. The pearl rice I am trading is the product I have accumulated for two years. I went out and borrowed some from others, so I was afraid that I couldn’t supply such a large amount to Zhao Lizheng.”
Zhao Zhen even said it was a pity.
As if he was worried that Zhao Zhen would go back on the deal, Zhang Yuanwai said: "I heard from shopkeeper Lu that Zhao Lizheng also planted a lot of fields. This time he asked for rice again, and he also wanted to plant pearl rice. Although I can't sell it here. I gave it to Zhao Lizheng, but I have some experience to share with him."
Zhao Zhen quickly waved his hand and said, "Zhang Yuanwai doesn't have to do this. How can I ask for your unique secret book?"
" Zhao Lizheng, there are no unique secrets. All farmers who have planted pearl rice know that this rice can only be grown in fertile fields. If you use fertile land, you need to mix snail shell powder and wait for three years after planting. This method was discovered by farmers in Goucunji. It is worthless. Goucunji has a living spring, which can be used to irrigate the land all year round. After two years of rest, pearl rice can be grown. This is Goucunji. The reason why the village produces more pearl rice than other villages and towns is that this method has been spread throughout the town for a long time. Now the rice fields growing pearl rice in the town are distributed around the spring."
"My family has exactly one hundred acres. The fields are on the edge, so there is so much pearl rice. Other towns also have methods to shorten the life span, such as burying rice straw in the ground, but it costs a lot. One acre of rice straw is worth four to five hundred coins. Two years is almost consistent. Although the one-year interval is reduced, it will not make much more.”
Zhao Zhen listened and thanked Zhang Yuanwai. After all, if Zhang Yuanwai didn't tell him, he didn't know how long it would take him to figure it out.
