Chapter 220 The One-Eyed King
Jiang Liu looked at the man and woman in front of him and asked.
Judging from the normal situation, Sheng Junqian, who is dressed in a decent and expensive knight's uniform, is older and seems to have high martial arts skills. He seems to be the leader between the two.
But this young-looking black-haired woman did not reveal much respect for the man in her words. It seemed that there was no difference between the two of them.
Jiang Liu thought quietly like this, then he looked at Sheng Junqian first, nodded and answered Sheng Junqian's question: "I do know some news about the immortality, but I can't guarantee that my news is true. , and you can find Tian Bu Lao through my information."
Then Jiang Liu looked at Xue Ling: "Are you sure you want to mind your own business?"
Xue Ling looked at this young man who looked mature yet immature.
He seemed very mature in his initial dealings with others, but after Sheng Junqian showed off his amazing martial arts, Jiang Liu seemed excited and immature again.
After all, if you think about it carefully, Jiang Liu was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he didn't dare to go home because he lost the medicinal materials.
"If you are on the way, you might as well go and have a look." Xue Ling said lightly: "But as a reward, you have to take us to Baiyun Mountain to find Tianbulao."
Jiang Liu nodded heavily: "No problem."
...
... …
In this way, two problems become one.
Sheng Junqian said that if Jiang Liu could help them find Tian Bu Lao, then as a reward, he could teach him some martial arts.
Xue Ling said that if Jiang Liu'er was willing to lead them the way to find immortality, then he would first help Jiang Liu'er teach the person who lied to him a lesson.
These two things are indeed the same thing.
So Jiang Liu'er led the way, and the two of them followed Jiang Liu'er, walking slowly in the streets and alleys of Song County. Although the combination was a little strange, at least they didn't come to talk to them.
"Can you tell us what happened back then?" Xue Ling asked as she walked.
Jiang Liu'er was a little hesitant, but he still said: "My family is a herb collector. Our daily income mainly depends on collecting herbs in the forests of Baiyun Mountain, and then we can simply cook and dry them ourselves, and then carry them to the city to sell them."
"My father usually comes to the city to sell it, but some time ago my father was bitten by a snake when he was in the mountains. Although he used snake medicine to save his life, he couldn't get out of bed for a while." "My mother is from the mountains
. I usually don’t dare to come to the city, so I have no choice but to come here carrying the medicinal materials on my back.”
Jiang Liuer babbled as he walked.
"I have come to the city with my father several times to sell medicinal materials before, so I am more or less familiar with the road. I also recited sutras with the monks from the Crock Temple in the mountains for two days, and I know Braille to some extent." "But I didn't expect that after coming here
, , the drug store where my father often sells medicine saw that I was young and was bullying students, so they were only willing to give me 20% of the usual medicine money. Because the money was going back to my father to save his life, so I didn't agree." "In the end, it changed
. I went to other drug stores, but they wouldn't let me in." "
At this time, someone came to me and said that he could provide me with a good source of medicinal materials, and gave me a very high price." "
I was moved. Give them the medicinal materials."
Jiang Liu'er said quietly, the pain at that time penetrated into the bone marrow, and now there is only a faint melancholy left.
"In the end, they used a chain of tricks. They said they would help me sell medicinal materials, but they secretly dropped the package of my medicinal materials. In the evening, when I happily wanted to ask them to take the money home, they threw the medicinal materials back to me. They told me that they had looked at the medicine shop and found that all my medicines were useless weeds and tree roots. Just trying to sell them for money made me crazy." "I
took the medicine and took a look, and found that except for the medicine outside , A few sticks were my own medicine, and the rest was filled with some licorice bark." "
I was so angry that I went to them to argue, but in the end I was beaten and couldn't move for three or four days." "
Fortunately, there were kind people. I was lucky enough to survive by giving me some scraps."
Sheng Junqian listened calmly, but Xue Ling's expression changed slightly: "Aren't you going home now?"
"How to go back?" Jiang Liu'er smiled bitterly. Said: "My family relies on me to take money to go back to save lives, but now that the medicinal materials are gone, what's the use of me running home in despair?" "
But aren't you afraid that your parents will worry?" Xue Ling asked.
"Afraid, of course." Jiang Liu'er sighed: "But what's the use of being afraid?" "
When I came out, my father was lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed. It was all up to my mother to take care of the house. I Going back empty-handed, I just have one more mouth to eat, so I might as well just make a living in the city."
Saying this, Jiang Liu'er stopped and pointed to a ruined temple in front of him: "This is it."
"Here?" Xue Ling looked at the ruined temple and asked, "Who is the person who gave you medicine?"
"They are a group of beggars living in this temple. The leader is a one-eyed dragon. Others call him the one-eyed king Xue Chong." Jiang Liuer was a little scared. He said: "I heard that he is very good at fists and kicks, and usually three or five people can't get close to him."
Before Jiang Liuer finished speaking, he saw Sheng Junqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Xue Ling looked strange.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's nothing." Xue Ling said with a frown.
She never expected that the other party turned out to be her own family.
And even though he knew he was a beggar, he was able to call him such a majestic nickname as the One-Eyed King.
It always makes people feel like they are pretending to be powerful.
"Are they inside now?" Xue Ling asked.
"It should be there." Jiang Liu'er nodded and said, "The One-Eyed King usually doesn't have to go out to beg for food. Naturally, someone will provide him with offerings. This place was originally a remote ruined temple, and later it was occupied by them and became their lair."
" How could you be deceived by this group of beggars?" Xue Ling shook her head and said, then she stepped forward and pushed open the temple door with one hand.
I just never expected that this ruined temple with a walled courtyard was really not a small place. There was a large incense burner in front of it, with some burnt out incense candles stuck on it.
Next to the big incense burner, there were some weapons training equipment such as wooden piles and stone piers, and there were actually six or seven beggars there who were walking and driving wooden stakes in a decent manner.
Rather than saying this is a beggar's den, it would be more appropriate to call it a small martial arts gym.
As Xue Ling opened the door, the beggars also looked at Xue Ling: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
they shouted.
Behind Xue Ling, Sheng Junqian and Jiang Liuer also walked in slowly.
Compared to Xue Ling, Sheng Junqian was much more intimidating. He had a black knife on his waist, walking vigorously, and not squinting.
"We are here to seek justice for this little brother."
"May I ask, which one is the One-Eyed King?"
