41 Trading (Part 2)
[Chen Jian stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at the thatched house. It didn't look like there was anyone inside, and there was no need for Ross to hide from him. ]
Facing Ross was a laborious task. Chen Jian didn't want to see him when it was still dawn, so she took a long detour and went to the settlement place of the disciples of the Ancient Mirror Sect.
Although their sect was massacred, the survivors had never experienced what happened that night, so even though they looked haggard, their mental state was still good. Most of the disciples went to the martial arts arena to join in the fun, and only a few of them stayed in their rooms to recuperate.
.
Chen Jian walked in the quiet corridor, trying to find someone who seemed to have some qualifications to understand the situation, but the windows in all the rooms were closed, so he could not see the owner of the house.
So he walked around the residential area and found a green field behind him.
This should be a field of herbs nourished by Zeqi.
The fields are planted with unusual plants that look strange and strange, and the air is filled with freshness and peculiar smell, which is very similar to the smell of the exotic garden.
"Who are you?" The warrior who was immersed in the field straightened up.
"I'm Chen Jian from the Gonglian team, and I'd like to inquire about something."
"Investigating the destruction of the Gujing Sect?" the young man said, "We also want to know the truth, but we have been discussing it for so long and no one can tell the reason. I advise you not to waste your time with us."
The young man's attitude towards Chen Jian was quite bad, which was completely different from the other people in the Gonglian team who wanted to please him.
In fact, the survivors of the Ancient Mirror Sect were quite critical of Chen Jian. They believed that Chen Jian was in the rare garden that night but did not help, which was against the moral principles of mutual help in the martial arts world.
They also knew about Chen Jian's amnesia, but for these people, they would rather believe that Chen Jian gave up helping them. In other words, this was a form of anger.
Chen Jian looked at the young man.
This disciple of the Ancient Mirror Sect has suppressed his disgust to a great extent. He bent down and took care of the herbs numbly, as if Chen Jian was no longer around.
"How long does it take to grow a herb?" Chen Jian suddenly asked.
The young man was stunned for a moment, wondering what Chen Jian was planning.
He replied cautiously: "It takes at least one quarter, that is, three months, for an herb to grow to be usable."
"Three months?"
Chen Jian recalled the conversation with Xiqueyi.
She said that after the martial arts conference, they would have few opportunities to meet each other. According to her wishes, she would return to the base of the Federation of Commerce after the conference. It was less than a month before the end, but she wanted a herbal field?
“What happens if the time is shorter?”
The young man found that Chen Jian was not angry because of his arrogance, but instead asked politely about the herbal medicine. He was embarrassed to be stubborn anymore.
"If the seedlings are harvested to encourage their growth, the finished medicine will be very poor and can hardly be used for consumption and can only be used as a test."
"A test?" Chen Jian said, "Recently, I have become interested in growing herbal medicine. What results can I get from the test in a month?"
"This..." The young man scratched his head, "I wonder how much Master Chen knows about herbal medicine?"
"Little is known."
"Then I guess there won't be any results from tinkering."
The young man straightened up again and told the truth.
“One month of trial time is quite short, and it requires the grower to have a considerable level of understanding of herbal medicines.
"Because, first of all, you have to make the herbs grow normally in a short period of time, which requires a lot of knowledge and experience. Ordinary planters are not sure about this - including me; secondly, the results of the growth also need to be predicted in advance.
.This matter is quite difficult, and only the older generation of planters in our sect can do it."
“Are there any remaining herbal fields in Wudang?”
"You want to try?"
"Um."
"You have to ask the people in Wudang. They also temporarily loaned us these herbal fields. However, I heard that there are many herbal fields in Wudang Mountain."
"Thank you."
Chen Jian thought he could get a herb field beyond Ross, but the result was not satisfactory. However, he did not have high expectations, and after chatting with the young man about common things, he said goodbye to him.
"Maybe he really has lost his memory..."
The young man felt that Chen Jian was very kind and friendly, unlike someone who would stand by and watch. He decided that if Chen Jian visited again, he would tell him some things about the Ancient Mirror Sect - although he did not think that those things were related to the destruction of the Ancient Mirror Sect, but it could help.
Being busy is always a good thing.
When Chen Jian left, the sky was getting dark. He looked at the position of the sun and estimated that today's martial arts tournament was over. The huge crowds should confirm his conjecture.
Chen Jian arrived at Ross's residence by a familiar route, but was told by the guards blocking the outside that the protector had left Wudang Mountain.
"Rose left? When?"
"yesterday afternoon."
"When will you come back?"
The guard glanced at Chen Jian dissatisfiedly: "Protector Luo didn't say anything. Please come back, Shaoxia Chen."
Chen Jian stood at the bottom of the steps and looked at the thatched house. It didn't look like there was anyone inside, and there was no need for Ross to hide from her.
"All right."
He could only hope that Ross wouldn't be gone for too long.
After failing to achieve success with Ross, Chen Jian could only place her hope on others.
Can Tian Wei do it? He is proficient in swordsmanship, but it has nothing to do with things like herbal medicine. Asking him will only cause trouble; let's go to Xue Rong. After all, it is about the destruction of the ancient mirror sect, and he is also investigating the matter, so he should be able to provide help.
.
Chen Jian made a decision and quickly returned to her room, preparing to visit Xue Rong early tomorrow morning.
At night, he sat cross-legged on the bed and felt the flow of Ze Qi in his body.
Zeqi is called the power of benefit and is the basis of all mental cultivation.
These days, Chen Jian has practiced many mental techniques in his mind. Whether it is the famous Wudang, Ancient Mirror Sect, Zhongtu Zhong, Di Chan Sect, or a little-known gang, he can master it.
The more Chen Jian realizes her own power, the more she feels that the princess is not simple.
How did she train Chen Jian?
Thinking of the princess, Chen Jian's breathing began to become disordered, and a sense of nausea for no reason surged into her heart.
He practiced absentmindedly for a moment, but his Zeqi strength still couldn't stabilize at the peak of the Five Successes.
...What happened? And why the Ze Qi cannot be improved? Is there something missing? I feel like I haven’t found the trick yet.
But to deal with the martial arts competition, the five-in-one body is completely enough.
Chen Jian turned over to the table and took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The things that happened these days are too trivial, but they are inextricably linked——
First of all, he came to Wudang to investigate the truth of an incident three years ago. The insider Wen Qingyun had lost his memory. Gu Quanshun knew that someone was secretly helping them escape Wudang's pursuit. All these things pointed to a man named Bian Li.
Musha.
Bian Li is Ross's master, and Ross wants to find the tens of thousands of phonological urns hidden in Wudang; at the same time...
Chen Jian drew several circles on Ross's name in succession.
At the same time, Wudang began to investigate the murder of the ancient mirror sect, and the source pointed to the north, and Wen Qingyun left from the north.
These two things are cleverly connected, but no one knows what exactly is in the north. The clues are therefore disconnected.
Back to the incident of genocide. Xiqueyi, an outside disciple of the Ancient Mirror Sect, seems to know something, but she is unwilling to tell directly. Instead, she wants a herb field to plant, and will tell the truth after getting the results.
