Chapter 219: Finding Thunder (1)
"Battle Dragon Fist, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
In an inn courtyard, Pu Zixuan was using the Dragon King of the Galaxy to wave a mess of fists at a thick ginkgo tree.
The ginkgo tree broke through in response to the sound and fell to the ground with a bang. Pu Zixuan put away the power of purification, took a breath, and waited for the subsequent reaction.
After a while, the broken tree trunk just lay on the ground in pieces, motionless, and silently telling his innocentness.
Pu Zixuan glared at the ginkgo tree fiercely, and looked at Chen Shuqing behind her dejectedly. Zhu Yuanliang and Sun Xiaoshu said: "It seems that the thunder and lightning power stored on the body has indeed been used up. After breaking a sycamore tree last time, there was still a trace of thunder and lightning flashing symbolically. This time, I don't give you any face at all..."
Chen Shuqing shrugged and said, "It's great now. Not to mention snatching food from the old demon of Heishan and snatching a piece of debris, even if he sees Hong Yasha again, he will be repaired to the point of being completely repaired, right?"
Sun Xiaoshu said helplessly: "Oh my god, this time the opponent is two demon kings. Add a rebel. Just us are probably not enough to stuff the teeth into others!"
Pu Zixuan pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, haven't we agreed that the fragment of the Black Mountain Old Demon can be taken if possible. Even if it can't be taken, at least you have to defeat the Red Yaksha and lift the curse. As for the power of thunder and lightning, at most, I can eat a few more thunder and store a little."
Zhu Yuanliang analyzed: "Yes, our real opponent is only Hong Yasha. However, the breath of Hong Yasha and Jenny cannot be found. The ghost knows where they are... Unless they join forces with the Black Mountain Old Demon... Then, we have to go to Mount Lu, but then, will we have to face the Black Mountain Old Demon the same?"
Pu Zixuan smiled and said, "It's just this. The old demon of Heishan is no longer in Lushan. Although there is a large amount of demonic aura on Lushan, the demonic aura of the old demon of Heishan has gone far to the area of Ganzhou Prefecture in the southeast. At present, it is a good opportunity to go to Lushan to end his nest!"
Chen Shuqing thought about several more questions: "But Xiaoqi, have you ever thought about it? Why did the old demon in Heishan go to Ganzhou Prefecture? Judging from the movement of Su Sanniang's breath, the remaining part of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been chased by the Qing army. From the junction of Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, it has been slowly moving to the south. The southernmost prefecture of Jiangxi is Ganzhou Prefecture. I was wondering, could it be that the Qing army should report to Heishan Old Demon and ask him to intercept the Taiping Army in the south? If so, we must rush to Ganzhou Prefecture as soon as possible to assist Su Sanniang!"
Pu Zixuan said in a daze: "It is indeed possible, so when will Sanniang and the others arrive in Ganzhou?"
Chen Shuqing thought for a while and said, "Sanniang's breath does not move in a straight line. It seems that sometimes they will push the front a little further north after winning a battle, but the overall trend remains unchanged. If there is no accident, they can hold on for half a month."
"Half a month..." Pu Zixuan thought about it and said, "Okay, let's act now. Let's find a way to store lightning and lightning, go to Lushan to get rid of the minions of the Red Yasha and the Black Mountain Old Demon, and then go to Ganzhou to meet Su Sanniang!"
This conversation took place half a month after the shipwreck in Poyang Lake. In mid-September 1864, Pu Zixuan and his party had arrived in Yugan County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province for more than ten days to settle down. It was originally considered that when Su Sanniang came to Raozhou Prefecture to meet with the attendant Li Shixian, the four of them could reunite with him. However, Su Sanniang and others encountered the Qing army along the way and never entered Raozhou Prefecture. The four of them could not take the initiative to meet Su Sanniang, in order to avoid being enemies with the entire Qing court, so they waited for news in this "Piaoyun Inn". So, Pu Zixuan was bored and practiced with the ginkgo tree.
Just as the four of them were chatting, the innkeeper heard the loud noise of a big tree falling to the ground and rushed in from the front desk. When he saw the broken trunks on the ground, he couldn't believe his eyes and said in shock: "My God, what's going on?"
When Pu Zixuan saw the store owner's heartache, but because of his strong financial resources, he smiled disapprovingly, walked up to him and bowed, "Store, I'm really sorry. Recently, I encountered some strange things and developed a bad habit. When I saw the big tree, I couldn't help but beat it up. Now, seeing that the ginkgo tree in your yard is so plump, I have committed an old problem again, so I took a ruthless move. Look, how much should I pay you?"
After hearing this, the store owner did not wonder at all that the young man had the power to "beat" the big tree so fragmented, and just cursed: "Can you afford it?"
Pu Zixuan said relaxedly: "How many taels of silver? Just report it."
In Pu Zixuan's mind, a ginkgo tree is only worth about one or two taels of silver. He was about to apologize to the other party, but he didn't expect the store owner to say angrily: "This ginkgo tree is not an ordinary tree, but a ginkgo tree king. It has a history of two thousand years, and it can be said to be priceless! How can some yellow and white things be exchanged for?"
When Zhu Yuanliang heard this, he suddenly felt that the store owner was interested in blackmailing. Before Pu Zixuan could speak, he immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Hey, you old man, do you say it is a thousand-year-old ginkgo, or a thousand-year-old ginkgo? What about the evidence? If there is no evidence, I will sue you for blackmailing!"
"Hey, you're going to make a sabotage? Evidence, you want evidence, right? OK..." The shop bent down, flipped over the broken tree trunk, then found a label on a broken piece of wood, tore it off, and lit it in front of the two of them, saying, "Did you see it? This is the certificate given by the government, but it was stamped!"
On the label, it was indeed written: "King of Ginkgo Tree? The tree is two thousand years old", and an official seal is stamped below.
????Pu Zixuan swallowed his saliva and stammered: "This..."
Chen Shuqing couldn't help but come forward, looked at the label, shrugged, "This public seal is indeed true. Xiaoqi, you are so troubled."
Pu Zixuan instantly understood that he had caused trouble. Zhu Yuanliang knew that he was in trouble and was unable to argue, so he stood there blankly.
Chen Shuqing sighed and said, "Okay, the store owner, this matter has come to this point, and the dead trees cannot be resurrected. You should give it a price at least."
The shop owner was so angry that he stretched out his right hand for a while, spread his five fingers and said, "This number!"
"Five taels of silver?" Pu Zixuan asked.
"No, it's fifty taels!"
"This..." Although Pu Zixuan was not short of money, he still felt ache in his heart and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, just a tree, it's not? Look, we have lived with you for so long, and you have made enough money from us. Just be a regular customer, how about a discount?"
"Everyone talks about their own affairs!" The store owner said without compromise. "The thousand-year tree king, the priceless treasure, only made you pay 50 taels of silver, which is enough to give in to you. If you can't take it out, I will sue the official and let the government judge!"
"No, no, no..." Pu Zixuan saw that the store owner was really moved, and hurriedly replied, "Fifty taels are fifty taels, I'll pay you a reward, wait..."
After saying that, Pu Zixuan turned around depressedly and said to himself: "His grandma's is for two thousand years, she is still not a monster, she is so stupid!" After entering the room, he walked out with a silver note and handed it to the store owner.
The store owner accepted the silver notes and looked carefully. After finding that there was no fake, his face was full of anger and then he felt relieved. He looked up at Pu Zixuan and wondered, "Oh, he is really a rich young master. He is so young that he has such financial resources. How dare you ask what business the young master does?"
"No, nothing was done." Pu Zixuan joked, "If you insist on saying something, you have to start with another thousand-year-old tree."
Seeing that Pu Zixuan was speechless, Chen Shuqing quickly coughed and interrupted, "Oh, stop talking, there are still trees and trees. Our property is almost ruined by your bad habit. You said you, what's wrong with it? You have to make this good? You'd better think about how to get the tree back to me!"
Pu Zixuan came over seriously and asked the shop owner: "By the way, I'll ask you something. Do you know where is there a lot of lightning here? Especially where only thunder and rain are there."
The store owner never expected that Pu Zixuan's topic would change so much, and he said in a daze: "Why are you looking for such a place?"
"Just travel." Pu Zixuan didn't know how to explain, so he made excuses.
The store owner said disdainfully: "Traveling to a place with a lot of lightning? Could it be that the young master just paid such a large sum of money and felt a little frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger. He would take revenge on me by laughing at me?"
"I'm not joking." Pu Zixuan said helplessly, "I'm a man, and I have no advantages and bad habits. I like to destroy trees. Another one is that I like to watch thunder. When I see the lightning and thunder in the sky, I can't help but feel excited. Shop, you can do it, give me some advice."
Seeing the store owner's dumbfounded appearance, Chen Shuqing said to himself: "Store, he is really not joking, just talk."
????? Then, Zhu Yuanliang and Sun Xiaoshu also came forward to testify.
The shopkeeper saw that the four of them seemed to be joking, so he responded: "It seems that the rich young master who does nothing has many quirks... Well, if you talk about the place where lightning is concentrated, it is hard to say elsewhere, but there is really one nearby."
"Is there really such a place?" Pu Zixuan said in surprise, "Where is it? What kind of concentration method is it?"
The shop owner said: "You must know Poyang Lake, right? In Duchang County, Nankang Prefecture, there is a town called Duobao Township. There is a mountain near the lake called Longtou Mountain. There is a Taoist temple on the mountain called Xianying Palace, which is called "Laoye Temple" among the people. Every summer and autumn, the waters in that area often suddenly flash and thunder without any warning. At this time, I stay there for a day or two without encountering lightning. My surname is written upside down!"
Pu Zixuan asked again: "Then, is there a building there, and it will inevitably be struck by lightning?"
"Haha, yes." said the shop owner, "that is the Dingjiang Pagoda on the mountain, which stands tall, but it is definitely a 'feng shui treasure land' that attracts lightning. If you have that habit, you might as well try your luck around Dingjiang Pagoda. However, once I finish some words, I'm afraid you will give up..."
