Chapter 166 [Hype, starting from the legend](1/2)

I don’t know when it started, a magical legend suddenly appeared on the streets of Fanyang City. This legend sounded a bit mysterious, but it was very consistent with the cognition of ancient people.

The general content of the legend is this. It is said that the King Zhao of Xifu, the former emperor, was reincarnated as a golden-winged roc in the sky. Because of his unruly personality, he offended the Heavenly Court.

Heaven sent him out of the world to suffer, and took away his divine power before being exiled...

Behind are some deliberately vague secrets, mixed with the sad love story of Li Yuanba and the saint of the grassland.

For example, in order to resist the thunder in heaven, the saint rescued her husband, went to the fairy mountain to dig fairy grass. In the story, the saint was digging fairy grass in the fairy mountain day and night in order to save Li Yuanba. Her hands were grinded with stones, and finally moved God with her true feelings...

Because this legend involves the royal family, it attracted people's attention as soon as it appeared. At this moment, Fanyang City suddenly sent countless Wuhou patrols, all of which were Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and no one was allowed to casually discuss the secrets of the royal family.

The more this happens, the less you can't hold it back.

As the legend spread more and more widely, it gradually gradually became radiated from Fanyang. As merchants continued to travel to Fanyang, the legend spread very quickly.

Some merchants even used birds to deliver letters at large prices.

They did not pay attention to the secrets of the legend. They keenly noticed the goods behind the legend. These smart merchants rushed to send a letter to the family, and asked their families to raise a large amount of money even if they sold houses and land.

The immortal is reincarnated, the saint saves his husband, and there are scenes of Li Yun and Princess Linglong behind him. These secrets aroused the gossip of countless people.

Gradually, as the story continues to spread, the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry ‘can’t hold it down no matter how hard it is’, and a magical fairy grass surfaced.

Cordyceps sinensis!

It is said that this thing is the object that fell from the heavens. It is a fairy insect in winter and turns into a fairy grass in summer. Whether it is a insect or a grass, treasures should not be left in the human world, so they can only survive for a summer and a winter, and then they will become a combination of fairy insects and grass.

This thing has the spirit of a fairy, and mortals can prolong their life after eating it.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was the main advocated. Since ancient times, there have been sayings of gods and immortals that have spread among the people. I don’t know if it was Li Shimin’s secret move, but Taoist masters kept coming to Fanyang City.

For example, Yuan Tiangang, a famous Taoist master, rushed from Chang'an Xingye. It is said that he kept stopping for three days and three nights. As soon as he arrived in Fanyang, he asked to see the emperor. He wanted to use fairy grass to refine immortal pills and prepare to ascend to the heavenly court.

Good guy!

Even Yuan Tiangang has arrived, and the name of the Cordyceps sinensis has finally been confirmed.

Countless merchants, families from all over the world, and even royal families from the Western Regions, including the clans of the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, Fanyang City is getting more and more crowded day by day, and countless people are asking about the secrets of the Cordyceps sinensis.

Unfortunately, the more I inquired, the more I was disappointed. No one in the trading center bought this item, and merchants from all over the world have never heard of it.

Some people couldn't help but take the opportunity of auction one day to ask King Zhao. As a result, King Zhao of Xifu was furious and drove the man out of the trading center.

It is said that even the member silver medal was confiscated.

But the more you are so stressed, the more you cannot suppress people's desires.

...

Finally one day, a servant left and was shockingly lucky. This servant was the groom of a caravan in the Western Regions and was usually responsible for feeding the caravan's horses.

His name is Alibaba, and it is said that only poor people can use this name.

Alibaba works hard every day, and has to get up before dawn to chop the fodder. It has to stay in the horse hangar late at night, but his employer only gives him two shisha cakes a day, and only gives him two hundred copper coins a month to pay him.

Although the treatment was so bad, Alibaba still gritted its teeth and insisted that he had four sisters to support in his hometown in the Western Regions, and he didn't want his sister to become a laughing slut.

It was early that day, before dawn, Alibaba started chopping the forage and feeding the horses again. Suddenly he found something in the forage.

This thing looks like a bug, but at the top it looks like a dead grass.

The whole body is yellowed and looks very strange.

If it were put in the past, Alibaba would definitely not care, but recently the whole of Fan Yang has been discussing the fairy grass, and Alibaba's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, there were two working grooms in the horse booth. Alibaba quietly hid the things in his arms. He continued to chop the grass and feed the horses, but he actually found a few of the same things in the grass.

He forced himself to hold back his excitement and tried not to tremble. He secretly put away all the things and continued to feed the horses in the horse shed.

After dawn, Alibaba did not pick up his squid cakes as usual. He came to Fanyang Trading Center with what he found, and then found the goods display area and threatened to show it.

He had no money and was almost beaten out by the manager of the goods display area. As a result, when he took out the few things from his arms, the manager of the display area suddenly screamed and snatched them over.

"My God is actually the Cordyceps. This is the Cordyceps that His Highness Zhao has been eating!"

The manager's tone was extremely excited and even became a little fierce.

He grabbed Alibaba's collar and asked fiercely: "Are there any, where did you find it..."

Alibaba took out a few more pieces with a terror on his face.

The ending of things is very satisfactory.

It is said that King Zhao of the Western Palace rushed over after hearing the news, and even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was alarmed. King Zhao directly gave Alibaba ten coins of money and then bought eleven cordyceps.

On that day, an exquisite wooden sign was added to the high wall of the wooden pavilion in the trading center. The words "Coresia" were engraved on it, and the transaction price was noted below: the current price was always one.

How big is a Cordyceps?

Not as thick as the baby's tail finger!

However, the value is always more valuable than gold.

Alibaba made a small fortune, and ten coins of money were enough for him to act as a capital to do a small business. A servant who feeds horses to others became a small businessman. This matter was legendary and was hotly discussed in Fanyang City every day.

The most important thing is that Alibaba lets everyone know for the first time what Cordyceps looks like.

The eleven Cordyceps, a family of aristocratic families once found King Zhao and wanted to buy it at a high price. As a result, King Zhao was furious. Princess Linglong of the Turks even drew out a golden knife to chop people.

...

Time flies, and two more months have passed in a blink of an eye. It is almost the end of the year, and heavy snow is floating in the whole north.

Suddenly, a group of people came in rags and walked into the gate of Fanyang City in the wind and snow. They were so poor that they couldn't even pay the price for entering the city. They all shrank and seemed very reserved.

They each carried a small pocket on their backs and said bluntly that they came from Jiannan Road and arrived in Fanyang from Jiannan. Even if they rode a horse, they would take more than ten days. However, these people arrived here by begging for more than a month.

Someone quietly observed their shoes and found that they had been worn out. At this time, they were standing barefoot in the snow and ice.

Nearly three thousand miles of road and walking nearly one hundred miles a day, these people were fighting for their lives, and they cried loudly when they arrived.

They were very poor, so poor that they had no money to pay for the city. Just as the gatekeepers were preparing to pay for their own money, the beggar-like people opened their small pockets.

Cordyceps sinensis!

They actually brought Cordyceps sinensis.

The entire Fanyang City was immediately sensational.

Countless merchants flocked to the scene, followed by the managers of wealthy families, then the royal nobles of the Western Regions, and the Liaodong envoys who were moved by the news.

These people surrounded this group of beggar-like people, and their purpose was self-evident.

Everyone wants to buy all the Cordyceps herbs.

King Zhao was furious when he heard the news and even dispatched the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also sent the Yulin Guard, but the crowd was still unable to be dispersed.

Because there are too many forces in the competition for the fairy grass, no one can suppress their opponents. In the end, everyone reached an agreement to let these people entrust the Cordyceps to auction.

Because there are so few babies, you can only bid one by one!

The first Cordyceps sinensis, two skewers!

The second Cordyceps sinensis, five sprigs!

This group of people brought eleven small pockets in total, and each pocket could only carry about a hundred or ten cordyceps. Because the number was too small, the last one was sold at a sky-high price of ten cents for auction.

On the exquisite wooden signs with high walls of the wooden pavilion, the average current price of Cordyceps sinensis has reached as high as five cents.

These people seemed extremely happy. After selling the fairy grass, they did not stop at all. They rushed out of Fanyang City like crazy, threatening to dig all the mountains and fields in their hometown.

During this threatening process, all the wealthy families were "popularized" one thing, that is, the yield of fairy grass is extremely small, and if you are not lucky, you can only dig four or five of them in the entire mountain.

It is exactly in line with the scarce identity of a treasure.

With such a small output, the wealthy families of aristocratic families must not dig themselves, and the same is true for merchants, so they instructed the people to go back and mobilize more people to dig. As long as they dig up the fairy grass and bring it to Fanyang, they would buy one if there was one.

The people seemed loyal and patted their chests and promised that they would come back again. Now the entire Jiannan Road knows the insecticide sheep.

It is said that the news was a businessman from Jiannan who returned to his hometown by sending letters from birds for three months.

Everyone thanked the merchant.

It was him who gave everyone the opportunity to buy fairy grass...

...

Another month has passed!

The people of Jiannan did not come back, the merchant who came back.

This time he dragged back four large pocket fairy grass with his horse, saying that the entire Jiannan people only dug so many.

The four large pockets sound scary, but the total number of immortal grasses is not more than 50,000. But how many people want the Cordyceps? Now all the wealthy families in the world want immortal grass.

This time I sold a total of 300,000 yuan.

In the days that followed, new merchants continued to arrive in Fanyang, and they could always bring one or two bags of Cordyceps each time, and then sell for a high price of more than 100,000 yuan.

After each auction, the high walls of the wooden pavilion will adjust the current price of Cordyceps, and the price will rise all the way, making people become more and more crazy.

In fact, these merchants, including the ragged people of Jiannan, and even the lucky servant Alibaba, were all tricks directed by Li Yun.

Cordyceps has been completely hyped up and listed as the world's number one health immortal product. During this hype, Li Yun kept secretly shipped goods. He used dozens of kilograms of Cordyceps to harvest millions of chunks of wealthy families.
