summer market

The scene is as terrifying as the Shura hell that Buddhists call it.This group of court servants who rolled out of the battlefield were all terrified, and their awe of Qin Chuan deepened.It seems that the person in front of him is not a human being, but a god-like existence.Qin Chuan was exhausted and lost too much blood, so he fell asleep in Chen Qingzhi's arms.

Chen Qingzhi checked Qin Chuan's body, and found that except for the serious knife on his shoulder, most of Qin Chuan's injuries were small wounds, and during his inspection, these small wounds were quietly healing.Seeing that Chen Qingzhi exclaimed in his heart that the guards were not idle, they scattered around to see if there were any survivors among the horse bandits, but after the inspection, a total of 420 six dead people were found, all of them dead.The dead were dressed in different clothes, and it seemed that they were not from the same passer-by.The guards wanted to find some money from this group of thugs, but found that there was nothing there. There was not even a penny on these thugs.But yes, who would rob others with gold and silver in their arms!

In the end, a guard found a two-foot long and wide brocade silk on the body of a bandit who looked like a little boss.But it seems that this brocade silk is very important, otherwise the bandit would not have kept it close to him.After the guard presented the brocade silk to Chen Qingzhi, taking advantage of the moonlight, he vaguely saw it as a map.He picked up the torch and looked at it carefully.

Although Chen Qingzhi was a military officer, he knew everything about the past and the present. Once he touched the brocade, he concluded that the silk paper was from a long time ago, at least it was from the Spring and Autumn Period.How could a bandit have such a good thing on him?Chen Qingzhi felt suspicious.Looking carefully at the contents of the brocade silk, I saw that the ink marks and ravines in the brocade silk were criss-crossed, and the mountains, rivers and hills were vivid. It is difficult to draw up such a detailed map.There are a few places in the picture marked with characters, but they are from the Western Zhou Dynasty. He can recognize these characters. They are all ancient place names, and there is a line of characters on the edge. Map, made in Yanshi." There are still a few places on the map that are circled in red with a touch of cinnabar.Although it is very old, the crimson color of cinnabar does not fade very much.

Chen Qingzhi didn't have time to take a closer look, so he carefully hid the map and ordered everyone to move forward immediately.More than 400 horse thieves died here, and Qin Chuan was injured and fell asleep. If their accomplices arrived, he would be dead without a place to bury him.

When it was dawn, the camel team was more than 40 miles away from the accident site, and arrived at a small oasis, about half a mile in radius. This oasis was a product of an underground river in the Kongque River. The body of Populus euphratica stood upright, looking at the rising sun In the rising haze, Chen Qingzhi patted his tired face, and ordered everyone to stop, rest here for a day, and then move forward in the evening.

The desert was not very hot in the morning, but Chen Qingzhi knew that the heat wave would hit soon.It is impossible to withstand the heat wave with tents alone, even in the so-called oasis, so the guards were ordered to dig sand pits, and then set up thick tents, which were covered with fine sand, and then chopped A lot of shrubs and branches from the oasis fell on it, so that the inside of the sandpit is not so cool, so that people can fall asleep smoothly.After a while, the guards also finished the job. Except for a few guards on duty, the others got into the shady sandpit and fell asleep.

Qin Chuan, who had slept on the hunchback all night, woke up faintly.The wounds on his body have been treated and are tightly bandaged.Apart from being a little pale, he still looked in good spirits.

"Wake up." He patted Chen Qingzhi who was sleeping soundly next to him, and woke up Chen Qingzhi who had been marching all night.With bloodshot eyes, he sat up vigilantly, and found that Qin Chuan, who had been half dead last night, was beside him, looking at him energetically.

Chen Qingzhi didn't believe it, rubbed his eyes desperately, and after confirming that he was not dazzled, he asked in a daze, "How are you?"

Qin Chuan nodded, looked around at the sleeping crowd, and said in a low voice, "Come out with me, I have something to tell you."

Chen Qingzhi looked helpless, and thought to himself: "When did we become so familiar? Do you have something to tell me?" Qin Chuan never talked much, but now he suddenly talked to him, and he couldn't help but surprise him, but he had no sleep all night. Both physically and mentally exhausted, what I want to do most at this moment is to fall asleep and sleep until the sky is dark.However, Qin Chuan was after all the emperor's conferred hermit, his words were not only a courtesy, but also an order, and Chen Qingzhi had no ability to refuse.

"What's the matter with Yinhou?" After getting out of the tent, Chen Qingzhi yawned, stretched his muscles and bones, and said lazily.

Qin Chuan motioned him to follow him, walked towards the depths of the oasis for a while, then stopped and said: "Okay, no one here can hear our conversation, I have to talk to you about something. "

Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "Please tell me." He realized that Qin Chuan's body had completely recovered.He walks like a gust of wind, and seems to be a little more energetic than before.

Qin Chuan said: "I told Xiao Yan that I went this time to look for Biluo Ganoderma lucidum. It's actually not the case."

"What?!" Chen Qingzhi's heart sank, and he said with displeasure on his face: "Qin Chuan, you are so bold, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will punish the nine clans." He pressed the saber at his waist with his hand, but immediately He stopped again, last night this guy killed more than 100 gangsters alone, how could he be his opponent?What exactly does this guy want to do?

Qin Chuan smiled indifferently, and said, "I can bear this crime." Then he said, "Biluo Ganoderma lucidum is not a medicine for immortality, but it has a little effect of prolonging life. It is impossible to live long by relying on this. There are only two kinds of Things can make people live longer, one is the elixir, and the other is the seal of reincarnation. The elixir can make the body in a youthful state, but it has shortcomings. After a period of time, the person who takes the elixir must sleep once, and the dormant During the process, the human brain may forget a lot of memories; and the biggest disadvantage of the elixir is that not everyone is suitable for taking it. After taking it, the unsuitable people will not only fail to prolong their life, but will turn into monsters, muddleheaded, and human-made. Food is terrible.

"As for the seal of reincarnation, it cannot protect the human body, but it can preserve the soul of a person forever and awaken the memory of the previous life, so the seal of reincarnation can also be regarded as a long-lived thing, and life can achieve infinite reincarnation with its help. "Qin Chuan's voice was extremely magnetic, and he spoke slowly.

"What's your purpose in telling me this?" Chen Qingzhi asked with a straight face.

"I want to tell you that what we are looking for is not Biluo Ganoderma lucidum, but the real medicine of immortality and seal of reincarnation." Qin Chuan had a strange smile on his face, "This is my purpose."
