My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 18

"No wonder."

The old master slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized: "I'll just say, how can anyone use these strange medicines as a prescription."

After all, the master shook his head and looked at Jiang Yuan: "I'm sorry, customer, I don't have these herbs in this shop."

Jiang Yuan had expected it, and was not disappointed.

For the ten herbs that Fang Ding showed up last time, Jiang Yuan ran all over the herb shops in Shangfeng County, but only got two kinds.

"Master, can you please mark the names of these herbs?"

"It's easy to do. But some of them are too old. I have to take out the books and compare them."

After a stick of incense, Jiang Yuan left the pharmacy with a small harvest.

After the private affairs are done, the old monkey can be retrieved.

"Ok?"

Back at Chenghuangmiao Street, Jiang Yuan saw the wine house from afar, and Jiang Yuan paused, showing surprise.

But it was Zheng Bowei and his party who were sitting around in the wine house, enjoying themselves.

The old man in the wine house was standing beside Zheng Bowei talking and laughing, his son was holding the flagon cautiously, and looked at Zheng Bowei reverently.

Judging from the situation, the two parties are actually acquaintances.

Jiang Yuan turned around and left.

"Let's go buy a horse first."

When I came to the market, it was true that as the old man in the wine house said, there were no good horses for sale at all, only some poor horses for pulling carts and goods.

"If you have a long journey, you might as well go and see my donkey."

There was a bright young man who noticed Jiang Yuan who was turning around with a disappointed expression on his face, so he took the initiative to ask for customers.

riding a donkey?

It seems that in fairy tales, there will always be a green donkey.

Jiang Yuan became interested, and followed the solicitors to the donkey pen,

However, at first glance, they are all gray and ordinary donkeys, with barely a good head, but they are bigger.

The man kept staring at Jiang Yuan, muttering to himself: Why does this man seem to be looking for a thousand-mile horse in a donkey?

But business has to be done.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan stayed on the biggest donkey for a while, the staff immediately recommended him warmly: "The guest has discernment, it's the Guanzhong donkey!"

"When Emperor Xiaowu went to Dawan to seek bloody horses, the fine breeds he introduced from the Western Regions were solid in physique and strong in stamina, no worse than ordinary good horses."

"The whole Gucheng, we got one here."

Jiang Yuan became interested, and went to look at the donkey.

Huh, it's really not bad.

Muscular and graceful, with a height of five feet, a high neck, big and energetic eyes, he is indeed no worse than ordinary good horses, and even more handsome.

Jiang Yuan fell in love with it, turned his head and asked, "How much?"

The guy gestured with his palm open: "Five thousand dollars."

"You really dare to ask for it!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed in shock.

Five thousand dollars is the price of a good horse!
In addition, one mu of good land costs less than two thousand yuan.

He dared to sell a donkey for [-] yuan, this guy is really fierce.

The man laughed and argued, "A horse at this level can be called a thousand-mile horse, and it can sell for [-] yuan.

This donkey is a thousand-mile foal among donkeys, and it is definitely worth five thousand dollars. "

Jiang Yuan was never good at bargaining, and the money he got from those robbers was far from enough, so he was too lazy to say anything, and turned to pick other donkeys.

"How much is that?"

The other donkeys were pretty much the same, Jiang Yuan randomly picked the one that was pleasing to the eye.

The buddy's thoughts of making a lot of money fell through, and he replied dejectedly, "Five hundred dollars."

"Still high."

Just as Jiang Yuan spoke, suddenly a golden light flashed from the corner of his eyes, and quickly sank into the donkey pen.

a mouse?

No, there is a mouse that controls the golden light.

So, another monster?
Jiang Yuan frowned secretly: why all of a sudden, there are monsters everywhere.

"It's fine in the deep mountains and dense forests, and you can meet them casually in the downtown area. Could it be my protagonist's halo?"

Jiang Yuan complained, recalling the flashing golden light in his mind.

For some reason, there seems to be a feeling of jewels in the golden light.

"Hey, the downtown monster. It's glowing with jeweled gold."

Jiang Yuan reacted abruptly: Could this mouse be that monster who is wanted in the city and who specializes in stealing rich people's money?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan suddenly said to the boy: "I want to go to the circle and choose closer."

The man looked at the feces in the donkey pen, then at Jiang Yuan, and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was very determined, the man shrugged, "If you don't think it's dirty, you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Yuan walked into the donkey pen clutching his nose, hiding the donkey dung on the ground while leaning towards the place where the golden light disappeared.

That is, the haystack by the sink.

Standing by the sink, Jiang Yuan pretended to be looking at a donkey drinking water, and secretly fiddled with the haystack with his feet.

A small hole was exposed, and a piece of gold flashed in the hole.

Jiang Yuan quickly withdrew his foot, but after waiting for a while, the golden light remained motionless.

At this time, another person came to buy a donkey, and he had been staring at Jiang Yuan's buddy, so he stepped forward to receive him.

Da, the sandbag on Jiang Yuan's waist suddenly fell off.

"Oh, it happened."

Jiang Yuan exclaimed, and quickly squatted down to pick it up.

"Is the guest all right?"

The clerk was receiving new customers, and when he heard the call, he turned around quickly, and saw Jiang Yuan squatting in the donkey manure, looking depressed to pick up the dropped cloth bag.

The little guy almost laughed out loud: Let you do so many things!
"fine."

Jiang Yuan waved his hands sullenly, then leaned towards the haystack, as if to pull the hay towel bag, and at the same time turned around secretly to block the sight behind him.

"Guests, come out, it's really bad inside."

The guy yelled and continued to entertain new customers.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Yuan gently opened the hole and found that the golden light turned out to be a pile of golden beans.

However, the mouse that had previously driven the golden light was nowhere to be seen.

"This burrow is probably connected to other places."

Not finding the monster, Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the golden bean, and he thought to himself: "Anyway, it's a stolen gold, so if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it."

After digging into the hole several times, there is only a thin layer of golden beans left, which is not enough.

"These will be my hush money, and I won't report you."

Jiang Yuan put away the bulging sandbag with satisfaction, and kindly dragged hay to plug the hole, covering the remaining golden light.

Standing up, he glanced at the donkey worth [-] yuan, enough money.

"I want that donkey, man, and pay in gold, and five thousand is five thousand."

Afterwards, under the fiery eyes of the man, Jiang Yuan took his favorite donkey and swaggered away.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's back, the new visitor shook his head and muttered, "Five thousand dollars for a donkey? There's really nowhere to spend money."

Not long after Jiang Yuan left, a group of majestic men and horses came in furiously, and they asked, "Did you see a strange golden light coming this way?"

After finding nothing, the leader squinted his eyes and cursed: "This rat is so fucking vigilant, it's a waste of your Grandpa Zheng's favor."

It was the tour officer Zheng Bowei.

The favor he was talking about was begging the city god to cast a spell to search for the monster who stole the money.

Unexpectedly, the monster was extremely vigilant, once it was discovered, it fled resolutely, and possessed a strange spell, making it difficult to chase.

No, Zheng Bowei still lost sight of the monster.

Zheng Yuanji, who had been by his uncle's side all the time, stepped forward to persuade him: "Uncle Wei, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid the Lord Mountain God will complain, so let's send the sheep demon back to the mountain mansion first."

Zheng Bowei showed embarrassment and fell into entanglement.

Jiang Yuan guessed right, Zheng Bowei was very popular in the gods and mortal realms of the Beiyang Mountains.

Especially in the secular world, he is the honored guest of famous families and government officials from all over the world, because he often helps them solve their problems.

Not just monsters.

Zheng Bowei pays more attention to maintaining the relationship between the land boundaries around the Beiyang Mountains.

Don't think that it's stupid for a wandering officer who has an eighth-rank Lingxiao Tianlu to bother to maintain ordinary relationships, and he is throwing everything away.

The reason why Zheng Bowei has accumulated the skills of the eighth-rank Tianlu so quickly is because of the ordinary power he borrowed.

What about demons, what about demons, this world is not respected by people.

Zheng Bowei sees through this point and never underestimates the power of people.

Talk about Gucheng.

In recent days, Zheng Bowei has received more than a dozen urgent letters from Gucheng, from government officials, rich families, and wealthy merchants.

It's just that the conferring ceremony will be held in Beiyang Mountain, so it's not good for him to be absent as a tourist official.

I planned to rush to Gucheng immediately after granting the talisman, but unfortunately there was the evil Jiang Yuan first, and then the four demons troubled the mountain mansion.

Seeing that he couldn't leave and was going to miss the appointment, fortunately, when he was chasing the sheep demon, he came to the vicinity of Gucheng.

After catching a monster, he can deal with Beiyang Mountain God, so Zheng Bowei dealt with his private affairs confidently.

Of course, he still has scruples about Beiyang Mountain God's attitude, after all, he is his immediate boss.

That's why I spent favors to ask the city god to help me solve this matter as soon as possible so that I can rush back to Beiyang Mountain.

Now, the plan clearly fell through.

Unless the City God is invited to act again, it will take a lot of time and energy to search and arrest.

The City God used the power of incense to cast spells.

Just that time, I relied on favors, and if I invite you again, I will have to pay the price.

"Uncle Wei!" Zheng Yuanji shouted again.

The young man was young, so he couldn't see Zheng Bowei's mind clearly, he just felt that his uncle was degrading his dignity by doing these things.

Moreover, he has just become a monk who confers dictionaries and joined the Beiyang Mountain Mansion, and he is eager to make contributions.

"Bleed, bleed."

Zheng Bowei gritted his teeth and summoned his subordinates to issue an order:

"Mountain patrolling police continue to search here, the monster is a mouse spirit, pay attention to see if there are any mouse holes."

"San Shen Fa Shi, and Yuan Ji, you follow me to the Temple of the City God, please help the City God."

Zheng Yuanji was very disappointed with his uncle's decision, he shook his head and said, "I'll follow Uncle Zhang to search here, more people will work harder."

"Alright."

Zheng Bowei nodded in agreement, and then ran to the Temple of the City God.

And Jiang Yuan has already returned to the wine house in Temple Street, to get the basket.

"Give me a few catties of the best wine, and pack some good meat."

With money in hand, Jiang Yuan also became bold.

The old man happily drove his son to prepare, looked at the tall and strong gray donkey at the door, and praised: "What a donkey, no wonder the guest didn't buy a horse, this is no worse than a good colt."

The old man's son came with wine and meat, Jiang Yuan took it, threw it into the basket, and then put the basket on the donkey's back.

After leaving some more copper coins on the counter, Jiang Yuan smiled and waved goodbye to the father and son of the restaurant.

The five thousand yuan donkey is comfortable to ride.

After Jiang Yuan put it on his shoulders, he pulled the reins, and the gray donkey let out a cry, then pattered its hooves and walked out of the city.

When I walked out of the city gate, it was already noon, and the surface of the moat was sparkling.

The city gate faces south, and Jiang Yuan goes north, so it is necessary to circle around the moat.

Just as he circled to the north of the city, Jiang Yuan kicked the gray donkey, urging his mount to speed up, when a golden light suddenly flew out from the foot of the city wall.

The golden light leaped across the wide moat and came straight to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was stunned.

Jin Guangzhong let out a sharp roar: "The thief who stole my golden king Doudou, don't run away!"

　Give some favorites, give some recommendations, it's too pitiful.
