I have a long pupil

Chapter 19 Changes in the source of medicine

This old slick!
Zhang Biao was caught off guard, and the old man pretended to be unprepared, and he missed the enchantment trick at all.

But he reacted very quickly, turned his right hand outwards, and with a sudden flick, the chains of ecstasy flew out with a howl.

"Come on man..."

Before the old man rushed out of the alley, he felt his waist tighten and was dragged back into the darkness abruptly.

Just as he was about to call out, Zhiqu shut his mouth.

The sharp blade of the hooking gun was already at his throat.

The old Taoist swallowed his saliva, and said with a dry smile: "This good man, the poor Taoist still has dozens of taels of silver..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to his bosom.

"court death!"

Zhang Biao snorted coldly, stretched out his left hand like lightning, grabbed the old man's wrist and twisted it suddenly.

pat!

A black pill the size of a fist fell downwards.

When Zhang Biao saw it, his pupils shrank immediately.

He recognized this thing, when he arrested the prostitute Chen Hou'er, it was convenient to use this poisonous smoke pill to escape.

Zhang Biao had quick hands and quick eyes, and it was too late to avoid it at this time, so he simply turned his body sideways, used a hand that stretched his muscles and bones, twisted the old man's shoulder and pressed down.

puff!
There was a slight blasting sound.

The old Taoist who was lying on the ground saw a little colored smoke coming out from both sides of his stomach robe, and finally spat it out with a wow.

For a while, the sour smell of wine and meat, and the stench of poisonous smoke filled the entire alley.

"You old bastard... courting death!"

Zhang Biao was annoyed, originally he just wanted to ask some information, to see why this old man was able to get rid of the enchanting mirror, but he didn't expect it to be so slippery.

"The hero, spare your life, don't dare!"

The old Taoist ignored the stains all over his body, suppressed his nausea and retched, and begged for mercy: "We are all in the same boat, so we have something to say, something to say."

Zhang Biao didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, he directly operated the eyes of spiritual vision, and the information flooded into his mind:

Cui Tiezui (Fan)
1. False Taoist priests of the Terran Liang Kingdom.

2. The son of the former leader of the Jingmen, greedy for money and lustful, glib, timid and afraid of getting into trouble, sloppy in martial arts, proficient in all kinds of deceiving illusions.

3. Life is alive, eating and drinking are two words, a happy day is a day...

This is not the first time Zhang Biao has used the eyes of spiritual vision on people, he has tried several times before.

The biggest advantage is to see through the essence.

The so-called painting the skin of a tiger is difficult to paint the bones, knowing the face but not the heart, in the world of mortals, everyone wears a mask.

But no matter how well it is hidden, it cannot escape the spiritual eyes.

Timid…

Zhang Biao suddenly had a calculation in his mind. The evil ghost's mask was ferocious, and his tone was even more sinister, "I ask you, do you want to die or live?"

"Where did the hero say that?"

Cui Laodao had a flattering smile on his face, "Ants are greedy for life, but I am a poor man and do good every day..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Uh...want to live!"

"Answer truthfully if you want to live. What method did you use to get rid of my spell?"

"The hero's insanity is really powerful."

Cui Laodao laughed and said: "The soul-stirring technique is also a top-notch secret in Jingmen, but it needs the cooperation of drugs and other methods."

"Pindao has been an artist since childhood, and was often teased by his seniors, so he resorted to tricks, as long as he was tricked, he would immediately wake up."

"Fellow Daoist's method is rare in my life. I don't know where the teacher came from. If I report a name, maybe it's my own..."

The old man was babbling, but Zhang Biao understood it, and his doubts were resolved.

Jingmen has the illusion of hypnosis, and this old man probably gave himself a hint. In addition, the damage of the ecstasy mirror has greatly reduced its power, so it will not be affected.

"Hey, why is it a bit cold..."

Cui Laodao was talking nonsense, and suddenly he felt cold all over his body. He looked behind Zhang Biao at any time, his eyes suddenly widened, and his hair stood on end.

On the wall, hoarfrost condensed, and a handprint appeared, and there seemed to be a shadow, if there was nothing.

Cui Laodao's scalp exploded, his face was pale, and his voice was trembling, "Man, you... there is something behind you."

Zhang Biao didn't even look at it, and said coldly: "It's just a ghost, you catch ghosts all day long, haven't you seen it?"

"Ghost... ghost!"

The old man was so frightened that he almost peed in his pants, but he felt the knife tightening on his neck, and quickly closed his mouth again.

He swallowed, looked at Zhang Biao, and said dryly: "There are really... ghosts in this world, just now, is that also a real magic technique?"

Zhang Biao said calmly: "What do you think, why don't you let the person behind me stay with you for two days?"

"Don't, don't."

Cui Laodao shook his head hastily, "Poverty Dao is weak and cannot afford this kind of blessing. He is a good man... no, if the Immortal Elder doesn't kill me, he must be sent by someone, so just say it."

"You are smart."

Zhang Biao nodded and said, "I want you to help me find someone named Xiao San... When I have news, I will draw a lotus flower in the dark alley on the left side of the wall of Jing'an Square."

"This matter needs to be kept secret, and no one should be told. If it gets out, I will help you find a few 'good partners'..."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Cui Laodao shook his head hastily, but he felt the wind rang from the clothes in front of his eyes, and he disappeared.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, then tremblingly touched the gradually fading hoarfrost and fingerprints.

hiss--!
Cui Laodao took a deep breath and murmured: "It's not the nitrate powder melting ice technique. Damn...there are ghosts in the world!"

His face was cloudy and uncertain, he tidied his clothes indiscriminately, and then ran towards Changchun Temple.

"Open the door, open the door!"

"Hey, Uncle Cui, why do you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, have you ever vomited while drunk, get out of the way!"

On the opposite roof beam, Zhang Biao hid in the dark. Seeing that the old man was not talking nonsense, he nodded in satisfaction, turned over and jumped down, and ran towards the wall of the square...

………………

The golden rooster announces the dawn, and the morning light is white.

The dark clouds that had been in the past few days finally dissipated, half of the sky was black and the other half blue, without a trace of cloud, it was obviously a good weather.

Zhang Biao got up early, and after taking the decoction, he punched and refined in the courtyard a few times, sweating all over his body.

At this moment, a rooster crowed from next door.

This sound was so high-pitched that it reached the clouds, and it was exceptionally loud, quite like a rooster singing the world white.

Zhang Biao's eyes lit up, he came to the courtyard wall, stepped on the jujube tree, and jumped up.

In the courtyard, Father Zhou was cleaning the pigsty.

Zhang Biao said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, didn't you say that all the roosters are sold out, why is there a good one left?"

A trace of panic flashed in Zhou's eyes, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm not selling this one, I'm keeping it for breeding and crowing. I'm going to look for other chickens today and help Zhang catch a few old chickens."

"also."

Zhang Biao didn't care, and jumped off the courtyard wall.

After walking around the house and outside the courtyard a few more times, Zhang Biao couldn't help frowning slightly.

This morning, since the sun came out, the ghost that Grandma Wu had transformed into has not reappeared.

This is not a good thing!
Aunt Wu could show up during the day before, but she wasn't a big threat. At most, she would make some frost, handprints and footprints to scare people.

However, the "魆" it transforms into, the eyes of spiritual vision suggest that it has the ability to attack people in the shadows, and it is afraid of the sun, which already shows that it is evolving.

Maybe one day and night, the three sun fires could be extinguished and directly kill him.

Once turned into a ghost, there is no self anymore.

Although he successfully threatened Cui Laodao yesterday, it is estimated that it will be impossible to find Xiao San in a while.

Stepping into the Qi refining period as soon as possible is the way to save one's life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao immediately returned to the house, washed up, changed his clothes, and hurriedly left the house with all his savings, 320 taels of silver.

As soon as he arrived in Anrenfang, Zhang Biao found something strange.

It wasn't too late for him to come, the medicine stores had just opened, but there were quite a lot of pedestrians on the street, especially the carriages carrying goods, one after another.

He frowned, and walked into the most familiar Renxintang.

……

"Catcher Zhang, please have some tea."

Inside the Renxintang, shopkeeper Wu Deyong offered tea.

Although Zhang Biao was only arresting heads, Liufanmen had a good reputation in the Jianghu. In addition, he had spent a lot of money in the past few days, and he was already a big customer. Naturally, the shopkeeper had to receive him in person.

"Shopkeeper Wu, you are not kind!"

Zhang Biao's face was gloomy, and he didn't show any good looks, "After a day, the price has increased by [-]%. Do you think Zhang is easy to bully?"

"How dare you..."

Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly complained, "Catcher Zhang can go and inquire. The entire Jade Capital City is raising prices, and some even closed warehouses and no longer sell them to outsiders."

"Let's be honest, if you come tomorrow, there will definitely be more prices, and you may not be able to get the goods yet!"

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, "What happened?"

"You don't know?"

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned, "I bought so much for the first time, I thought you had received the news."

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, anyway, the news will spread sooner or later."

"A lot of medicine sources... something happened!"

"There was a cold fog on the snowy mountain outside the pass. The people who entered were either frozen into lumps of ice, or disappeared without a trace. The members of the gang suffered heavy losses..."

"The wild beasts with a radius of thousands of miles around Moyun Cliff have gone crazy. They attacked people in groups and destroyed the town at the foot of the mountain. No one dares to collect blood mushrooms anymore..."

"Not only these rare treasures, but also some authentic medicinal materials have gone wrong."

"The stone cockroaches hatch ahead of time, next year's mulberry octopus will definitely be out of stock, the cold wave in Quzhou will be earlier, and the medicine field will be completely destroyed..."

"Right now, everyone is scrambling for goods. If it weren't for Zhang Butou, I would never have shipped the goods."

Shopkeeper Wu babbled and sighed.

The strength of his family's medicine shop is mediocre, and if such a big change fails to keep up, the family business will be targeted by other wealthy merchants.

Although he has small savings, he is also at a loss for the future.

Zhang Biao was startled.

The recovery of spiritual energy is just the beginning, there have been so many changes, and it is unknown what will happen in the future.

Medicines are indeed a big problem.

There are so many good players in the gang outside the pass, even if he is matched, he may not be able to win well, but he has lost a lot in the snowy mountains.

Even if he gave up his position at the Six Gates and ran outside the gate, he probably wouldn't be able to find any medicine.

Originally, one serving of Bazhen Qi and Blood Soup can be used for three days, but now he has passed the test, at least three servings in two days.

After entering the Qi refining period, the consumption may be even greater, and the price of medicinal materials will increase, and it may not be able to last for a month.

Must be prepared early...
