Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 16 Winning over people’s hearts is watertight

 “A angry chicken…”

 Listen to him talking.

Partridge Whistle fell into silence.

 It was not that he doubted the miraculous power of the Nuqing Chicken. He had heard rumors about it when he was traveling in Miao territory.

 The things reported are even more exaggerated than what Chen Yulou said.

 But, isn’t this all too smooth?

 He felt like he had fallen into a pit.

Also, if he remembered correctly, the Xiling faction specializes in ‘mechanics’.

 In Chen Yulou's generation, the equipment was used to the extreme in inverted fighting.

Although he has the ability to listen to the wind and thunder, and to look, hear and ask questions.

  But it is different from touching gold.

 I am not proficient in Feng Shui and looking for dragon points.

You can tell the danger in the tomb so clearly just by looking at it from such a distance?

But he has a withdrawn personality, and Chen Yulou, who is eloquent and has a lotus tongue, is simply two extremes.

While still thinking about it, I heard Chen Yulou’s voice coming again.

"Kaizi, in the past few days, you will take your brothers to various nearby villages to collect realgar, lime, sulfur and other things that can drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants. Remember, the more the better."

“In addition, it is best to find out more about the Miao people’s method of detoxification.”

 “Yes, from the shopkeeper.”

Huamaguai immediately accepted the order.

“Brother Dao, please come with me and find out the whereabouts of Nu Qing Ji.”

 Chen Yulou turned around.

Hold the fist with a calm expression.

Facing his deep and clear eyes, Partridge Whistle hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed the doubts in his heart.

 Look at how well organized he is.

 The consideration is also extremely thoughtful.

 I think I had already made plans before coming.

 He simply put his mind aside.

 “Little things.”

Partridge Whistle shook his head.

But before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Yulou looking past him and towards his junior sister Hua Ling.

Today she also put on a Taoist robe, and her long hair was tied into a high ponytail with a hosta.

 Made her look cute and cute, but also a bit heroic.

 “I heard that Junior Sister Hualing is proficient in pharmacology.”

“I want to trouble you, can you find some antidote herbs nearby?”

 Hua Ling is secretly watching him.

I just feel that this leader Chen has an indescribable mysterious temperament about him.

At this moment, our eyes are facing each other.

 She couldn't help but blush.

 Having a guilty feeling of being peeked into.

Hurryly lowered his head, avoiding Chen Yulou's sight, pinching the corners of his clothes with his fingers, not daring to speak, and just nodded repeatedly.

 “Thank you.”

Chen Yulou didn’t think too much.

I just thought that this little junior sister, Partridge Whistle, was really a girl who was so reserved, so shy in front of outsiders.

“Honggu, I’ll stay with her, be sure not to get hurt.”

 “Don’t worry, shopkeeper.”

Hong girl agreed immediately.

 “That’s it, it’s better to do it sooner rather than later, let’s split up now.”

 Chen Yulou waved his hand.

 Time is tight.

 He didn't want to waste a minute.

“…Chen Boutou, what about me?”

  A voice that was slightly lacking in confidence sounded.

 Chen Yulou looked subconsciously.

 See the old foreigner's look of expectation.

Hummed for a moment, his eyes fell on the long bow behind him.

“I’ve heard that my junior fellow apprentice, an old foreigner, has unparalleled archery skills. There are countless wild animals in Lao Xiong Ridge. Why don’t I ask you, junior fellow apprentice, to hunt a few of them so that we can hunt them down as a sacrifice?”

Seeing this leader Chen, even his senior fellow apprentices were amazed.

 Praise yourself for your archery skills.

 The old foreigner couldn't help but puff up his chest.

“Don’t worry, Shopkeeper Chen, just leave it to me.”

 See this scene.

 Partridge Whistle was even more impressed.

 Although they are both leaders.

 But he is far from Chen Yulou’s ability to win over people.

 How to deal with others, in all aspects.

 It is made watertight.

 Half an hour later.

 The group of people divided their thoughts.

 Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle went to the nearby village to look for Nuqing Chicken.

Hua Ling and Hong Girl stayed behind to pick antidote herbs, while Kunlun stayed behind to protect their safety.

Huamaguai, on the other hand, led a group of bandits from Xiling to purchase insect repellents.

 Before coming, Chen Yulou was actually prepared.

 But I just took a look at Pingshan Mountain from a distance. Only then did he realize that the realgar brought from western Hunan was far from enough.

 Finally, Huamaguai picked two men who were hunters from the group of thieves and followed the old foreigners into the mountains.

 …

 At noon.

 Outside Beizhai.

 Two strange figures appeared.

 One is a fortune teller, the other is dressed in the attire of a magician.

Suddenly it was Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle who came in disguise.

 Miao territory has been known as the Eighteen-dong Village since ancient times.

However, with the war and banditry, the Miao people fled deeper into the mountains for refuge, and Shibadong Village has long been no longer worthy of its name.

 There are only six or seven villages of various sizes left.

As for Beizhai, it is located on the road that must pass through Xiangxi and Phoenix City.

 There are countless merchants coming and going.

 Yi and Han people have always lived together.

 In addition, there are a lot of gold seedlings here, and they make a living by digging for gold, so it is also called Jinfeng Village.

 There are almost hundreds of households in the village.

 Build high walls around it.

 It is better to say that it is a village than a small Miao town.

In order to prevent bandits from looting, every household sent people to form village warriors, holding blunderbuss, spears, and swords hanging on their waists, patrolling around the clock day and night.

 The two of them have just arrived.

 I saw towers built on both sides of the village gate.

 Once you find that bandits are coming.

  The village gate will be closed tightly in the shortest possible time.

 “This Beizhai is really lively.”

Standing under the city tower, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh.

 In such a remote and deep mountain.

 It is rare to have such a prosperous place.

In the morning, he and Partridge Whistle went to the South Village, which was much poorer than the North Village.

Those people can only live on the mountain.

There are very few merchants coming and going.

Unlike here, outsiders like them can be seen everywhere.

But most of them are merchants carrying ladles.

 Transport some in-demand goods such as tea, salt, silk and satin from western Hunan to Miao territory in exchange for rice, wild animals, mountain treasures, and even gold and jade ores.

 After a brief inspection.

 The two of them got in smoothly.

 After entering the village, most of the people I saw along the way were full of energy.

 There are mountain people bartering everywhere.

 Busty and bustling, like a lively market.

 The two of them walked and stopped.

 From time to time, I would stop and look at it for a moment.

“Brother Chen, what do you think about Ang Qingji?”

Seeing that Chen Yulou still wanted to hang out.

Partridge Whistle couldn't help but said anxiously.

Although there are only six or seven villages now, they are separated by high mountains and long roads.

If you ask questions while walking like this, you won't be able to finish the journey in less than ten days and a half.

 Hear the anxiety in his tone.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

　　Pointing to a nearby yard, "Didn't you find it already?"

Partridge was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw a stilted building standing on the roadside.

  It is no different from other Miao villages.

They all have two floors, built of wood, with some chickens and ducks raised underneath and people living upstairs.

 Outside the building is a phoenix totem carved on it.

But this is nothing special. It is the same in every household, whether it is the Nanzhai I visited today or the Beizhai where I am now.

It should be a belief of the Miao people.

His eyes became more and more confused, wondering why Chen Yulou said he found it.

I was about to ask again.

Suddenly.

A high-pitched and loud rooster crow sounded, as if it could penetrate gold and crack rocks.

　With a courtyard door across the street.

 But when it falls on the ear, it has a feeling that makes the blood boil.

Partridge Whistle was instantly attracted.

Looking over the wall.

A faint flame -like fire flashed.

 When you look at it carefully again.

Only then did he see clearly that it was not a flame, but a rooster with colorful feathers that was majestic and calm.

"this…"

 “It’s really the angry and sunny chicken!”
