Chapter Seventy-Four: The Tribulation of the Medicine Valley
The Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, which was supposed to be singing and dancing, was now also shrouded in a heavy breath, and the haggard Ji Zilian sat on the main seat of the valley hall with her chest undulating, obviously trying to calm the anger in her heart, and there was a middle-aged man in a red robe in front of her.
The man smiled gracefully and showed goodwill, a clean and innocent face with a few strands of filament floating in the air on his forehead, blocking the pupils of Yusheng Cinnabar from time to time, if it weren't for the eyebrows and a few tufts of white hair hidden behind it, no one would have expected that this world-famous, seemingly fledgling and suave Burning Sky Valley Valley Lord was more than forty years old.
"Lord of the Burning Valley, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers has just gone through a catastrophe, what do you mean by singing this?" Ji Zilian clenched her fist on the seat of the chair, and her tone dropped again and again until the freezing point.
The burning sky below was unmoved, and even squinted his eyes to taste the tone of the beauty's criticism, even if it was through the hazy veil, he could still imagine the appearance of the delicate face behind him because of anger and hit the red tide, it was rumored that the peerless beauty of the lord of Wanhua Valley spread far and wide, and now he felt it in person, and he felt the fairy spirit she exuded from a distance.
"Burning has no intention of offending, but as the valley lord said, the situation in Wanhua Valley is urgent, and I really don't want to see the destruction of the medicine valley that has a long inheritance and hangs the pot to help the world, so I propose this method to solve the urgent need. Burning Yutian made a look of grief and regret, "In addition, the valley lord Nalan has suffered an accident before, and it is even more difficult for Wanhua Valley to escape this catastrophe......"
"Shut up!" At the mention of the blind sword, Ji Zilian didn't want to listen to it even if she could bear it, and a sharp applause slapped on the table after the tulle, and several thorny vines immediately burst out from under the feet of Burning Yutian, and the next moment he could be strangled completely.
However, Burning Yutian had no intention of dodging, only to see the nine red Nao stones on his chest strung into a pendant and hanging around his neck suddenly burst into brilliance, instantly incinerating the menacing vegetation into ashes.
"Heh, the hospitality of Wanhua Valley is really peculiar. Yan Yutian was not angry or annoyed, so that the subordinates behind him put several large boxes lifted with wooden sticks on the ground, and then leaned over and said: "I will live in a nearby village, if the lord of Ji Gu figured it out, he will send someone to inform him, and Yan will leave immediately." ”
"Send off!" Ji Zilian waved her strength, and a strong wind blew behind the veil, and it turned people on their backs everywhere behind Burning Yutian, even a few heavy behemoth boxes were pushed out, but Burning Yutian did not move at all, but the tail of the robe was blown up a little, and then Shi Shiran left the hall accompanied by the maids on both sides.
Behind the tent, Ji Zilian was exhausted of the last few strands of strength, leaned back on the back of the chair, and after a few breaths, she finally couldn't bear the soreness in her chest, and covered her face and lost her voice in pain - two days ago, Nalan Zhifeng was beaten into the dry stone pool, and the body has not been seen so far.
Everything was caused by the sudden arrival of the imperial court to requisition the herbs of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
Wanhua Valley has taken root for a hundred years, and has always been based on helping people to save lives, Dayu is pressing into the north at the moment, and the front line is suffering heavy casualties, and it is understandable that the valley donated medicinal herbs to help, but the messenger who came to negotiate listed a bunch of spiritual flowers and wonderful grasses, among which there are rumors that the life of food is a hundred years, and it is a peerless medicine that has been cultivated into a half-immortal, and the amount of money it requires is enough to hollow out the foundation accumulated by Wanhua Valley from generation to generation.
Even though the valley is an ordinary herb has a good effect of detoxifying and hurting, the intention of the person who listed this list is self-evident, but he just wants to rely on the order of the court to search for it, Nalan is naturally unwilling to hand in the number according to the medicine list, but in the end he is not willing to easily disobey the will of the court, at first he asked the messenger with good words: "I don't know if the official master admits the wrong list, or the emperor is credulous and hearsay, the list here is all rare medicinal materials in a hundred years, how can there be so many in the flower valley?"
"Hmph!" As soon as the messenger heard Nalan Zhifeng's words, he shirked it, and his politeness just now made him even more imposing-what about the famous sects? It's not that he can't be afraid of the imperial court, not to mention that it is Lord Wei Xianwei who is the one who makes this list, and now the loudest speaker, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that it will be light to go back and be stripped of his post.
So he raised his eyebrows and said in a strange voice: "My eyes are bright, how could I take the wrong list! This is written by the jade real person of Gangzhiguan himself, if there is no one in the valley, how can the real person write it indiscriminately?"
As soon as the visitor mentioned the Gangzhi concept, Nalan Zhifeng guessed seven or eight points, the old thief of Jade Xuanzi must have entered a bottleneck in the Taoist industry in recent years, and he couldn't find a way to break through, so he began to covet the rare medicinal materials of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and wanted to refine the elixir in order to make progress, thinking of this, his tone suddenly lost a little respect: "If it is to help the front-line soldiers save the dead and help the wounded, I have good medicine everywhere in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, although the official takes it, but the ones you want, Nalan really can't hand it over." ”
"Okay, you're a Nalan Wind. The messenger raised his eyebrows and glared: "For the sake of Wanhua Valley's own selfishness, he is unwilling to donate to assist the imperial court, ignoring the territory of Dayu, and even ignoring the safety of the Son of Heaven, if the herbs that you said can be found everywhere are effective, do you need Yu Zhenren to bother to send me to find them?"
The blind sword did not show any disgrace in the face of the messenger's insulting words, and did not say a word for a long time, but only bowed down to listen to the other party's non-stop surrender.
"Finally, I will ask you again, whether you will pay this medicine or not. The envoy stared at Nalan who had a flat face and no oil and salt, and sneered and threatened: "If you still don't cooperate with the imperial court's decree, this official will go back and immediately return to the emperor, and then there will be only one official who will visit Wanhua Valley." ”
Even if Nalan Zhifeng has no official title, but he shoulders the position of the lord of Wanhua Valley, and his status in the rivers and lakes is also unmatched, if he doesn't want to give the other party a step, and finally take a step back to make peace, when will it be the turn of a little envoy to scold and coerce him arbitrarily. Er Jin faintly saw the figure of Yu Xuanzi behind Yi Zhi, which made him deepen his willingness to resist the will.
"Forgive me. Nalan finally apologized to the envoy and bowed deeply, and then slowly straightened his waist in the surprised eyes of the unscrupulous guests: "Those rare grass and strange flowers are accumulated by the Flower Valley from generation to generation, and if they are handed over by the wind and fear, it will be a shame to the previous valley masters." ”
"Good, good, good!" The envoy gritted his teeth, his wrinkled face couldn't help twitching, and his thin index finger trembled and pointed at Nalan Zhifeng: "Wanhua Valley is so bold, see that this official doesn't lead people to bulldoze this rampant place!"
"Ah!" With the thunderous scream, in front of the blind sword, the noisy person held the index finger of the previous depths and gradually knelt on the ground, Nalan held his finger and looked down, obviously still indifferent, but the dignity of the high-ranking person on his body was proudly scattered: "The treasure medicine in the valley is used to save people's life and death, not to satisfy someone's greed to become an immortal, go back and tell the real person who wrote this paper, if he wants to take the opportunity to embezzle, first ask me if the sword on my waist is willing!"
Outside the main hall, a strong wind suddenly broke in, blowing the ground and making the official's hand close his eyes, only to see that the person had not yet arrived:
"The Lord of Nalan Valley has a good breath, since this is the case, Poor Dao will come to fetch it in person!"
