Chapter 29 Two Worlds Overlap
Lin Qingquan asked solemnly: "Dare to ask, which merchant did your daughter seek to buy this uniquely scented lawn grass?"
The girl's mother tried to recall, "It was a mysterious merchant from the Qing Dynasty who lived near the port of Nagasaki."
Lin Qingquan frowned, "I only know that he lives in the port, so it's impossible to find him. What's his name?"
"Nobody knows what his name is."
The girl's mother lowered her voice mysteriously: "That businessman from the Qing Dynasty doesn't show his true colors very much. He often changes his appearance and moves every few days. Even his regular customers don't know how long he is. What kind of appearance, because every time he shows up, he has a different face. And he doesn't do business with everyone, he must meet his eyes, and he is quite picky about customers."
Lin Qingquan was taken aback, "Do you still choose people for business? Is it so difficult?"
"Because lawn grass is an embargoed spice. It is only available in the Qing Dynasty. The output is scarce, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty forbids it to be shipped outside." The girl's mother said, "If you do business with unreliable people, you may be There is a little more danger of being exposed. However, that businessman still made a lot of money after all, so it’s not a loss.”
Lin Qingquan thought about it seriously for a while, and asked, "I don't know what his name is and where he lives, but how did Ling Ai find him?"
The girl's mother looked around for a while, making sure no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered: "You are going to the port of Nagasaki, count from the first stone pillar on the left of the water bank to the right, and count to No. 11; then Starting from the ship closest to the No.11 stone pillar, continue to count to the right, and count to the No.11 cargo ship; finally start counting from the bow of this ship, and count to the No.11 crossbar. You need to The clock strikes that bar eleven times, three times."
"After knocking three times and eleven times, the merchant came out?"
"No. He will observe you secretly. If you fit his eye, he will take the initiative to come out to see you after you knock eleven times the first time; but if he doesn't want to do business with you, he will knock three times He won't come out."
Lin Qingquan smiled, "I didn't expect that these days, running a business is more troublesome than getting a devil's heart."
"No way. Only he can get lawn grass." The girl's mother said, "That businessman is the most mysterious and difficult to deal with."
Lin Qingquan fanned his fan leisurely, and said with a light smile, "If that's the case, then I'm going to visit in person."
Nagasaki is on the westernmost side of Edo, a long way from Kyoto.It takes more than ten days to go back and forth with your feet, which is very time-consuming.
But Lin Qingquan, who is a sword of gods, has many fans in Xuanwu Mountain.
His fans crowdfunded for him an expensive carriage named after one of the warriors.
This samurai fan is a Xuanwu doctor, but he is quite proud of it.
When he was parting, he offered a bundle with both hands, and also gave Lin Qingquan a medical attendant who followed him, and said happily: "As long as he can help the god I admire, even if he sells me to him, I will be extremely happy. "
Because of the carriage, I arrived in Nagasaki in just three days.
Nagasaki Rinkai.The low-rise houses in Yishui cannot cover the blue sea view, just like a fluctuating blue silk satin falling from the sky, wrapping Yashiki Town Street in it.The sea is foggy, and through a layer of indistinct sea fog, a round of sun is like a loose, reflective thumbtack, nailed to the top.
Following the instructions given by the girl's mother, Lin Qingquan knocked on the crossbar of the boat three times.
But he and the doctor waited for a long time, but no one came out to answer.
The medical attendant was a little worried and said: "Xiao Lin's family, look... I have knocked three times, but no one came out to answer it. It must be... that businessman from the Qing Dynasty does not want to do business with us."
"It's okay, just keep knocking." Lin Qingquan didn't panic, "Even if I break this crossbar today, knock this boat to pieces and make it impossible to get out of the sea, and everyone in the whole sea area thinks I'm a lunatic, I don't care. Knock him out!"
So they knocked on the crossbar eleven times every quarter of an hour, from early morning to nearly noon, and they didn't know how many times they knocked.
Surrounded by cargo ships handling loading and unloading.
The dark-skinned crew members carried the cargo boxes up and down, like a group of black ants with a clear division of labor, with a layer of white salt grains leaching from their strong backs.
Everyone is too busy to take care of these two.
But after knocking persistently all morning, he had to attract strange eyes.
"Our ship is about to sail. How about knocking?" The captain with gold teeth came up, with one hand on his hips and one leg on the stone pillar, looking seriously at the two knocking on the crossbar.When he smiled, his mouth was crooked, which was very vulgar.
"I have met people like you knocking on the crossbar. Unfortunately, they just don't want to do business with you, no matter how much you pay. Let's give up and go home early. We are also sailing."
Lin Qingquan shook his bamboo fan in the midday sun, his eyelashes were illuminated golden brown.
He smiled slightly, "Okay. Just go ahead and sail. I'll just knock on the one next to it."
The captain supported his head, feeling a little headache from the sun.He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "The person you are looking for values fate very much. No one can force him to do business that he doesn't want to do."
A tall and burly crew member emerged from behind the captain.Because he had just finished moving the goods, his body was steaming.He handed the captain a wet towel.
Lin Qingquan looked at the two with a strange expression.
The captain wiped his sweat with a towel, and said firmly, "Believe me, if you don't show up after knocking three times, he won't come if you beat him to death. No one knows him better than me..."
Lin Qingquan's gaze ranges from the captain's shiny gold teeth, to his wrinkled cheeks that have been through the vicissitudes of life, to his slightly embarrassed eyes.
"Why are you so sure?" Lin Qingquan asked, "What is your relationship with him?"
The captain suddenly smiled, "Since you have become suspicious, to be honest, I am the Qing businessman you are looking for."
Lin Qingquan glanced up and down, "No. You are not."
He stepped forward, bypassed the sloppy captain, grabbed the burly and strong crew member behind, reached behind his ear with his fingernails and pulled gently, a human | leather mask | took off.The long braids of the Qing people also loosened as the mask fell off, hanging down to the legs.
"It's you." Lin Qingquan said these words in jaw-droppingly fluent Chinese, "I've seen you wearing a human|leather mask|mask since you came on stage. It's such a hot day, it's embarrassing for you gone."
Both of them were stunned.
The captain asked: "How did you tell? And you can speak the language of the Qing Dynasty?!"
Lin Qingquan just smiled veiledly, threw the mask into the sea, and said to the Qing businessman who took off the mask, "I heard that your Excellency attaches great importance to eye relationship. Now we meet. Do you think I match your eye relationship?"
"It doesn't match." The Qing businessman concluded.
He is tall and resolute, but looking at Lin Qingquan, who speaks fluently, there is a trace of confusion in his eyes, "I don't do business with people with outstanding looks. You can take this sentence as a compliment to you, and you give me a deep feeling. The feeling of hiding it. If I have contacts with people like you, it will cause me a hidden danger. Please forgive me, and please let me go."
"You can't follow fate." Lin Qingquan said.
He walked in, pointed his finger at the merchant's chest, and said with a clear face, "Your Excellency is suffering from a serious heart attack. A magic fetus resides in your heart, showing a bulging human face." Outline. Every time you look in the mirror and see a face on your chest, aren't you afraid at all?"
The businessman was frightened, his face turned pale, "You...how did you see that?!"
Lin Qingquan withdrew his hand and continued: "The lawn grass you smuggled has the effect of separating the magic fetus from the host through smoking and burning incense. In other words, it is to make the magic fetus abort. You don't know this effect, do you?"
He said politely: "If you are willing to sell me the lawn grass, I will develop a suitable dose as soon as possible. At that time, you will be the first beneficiary."
The merchants of the Qing Dynasty struggled for a long time, and finally agreed.
Without further ado.After the deal was concluded, Lin Qingquan immediately returned to Xuanwu Mountain with a cart of lawn grass.
The lawn grass grows in the south of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a rare and difficult spice herb.It only grows during two specific months of the year, and the yield is very limited.
This cart is full of law and order grass, which can be said to have removed all the businessmen's old background.
When he arrived at Xuanwu Mountain, Lin Qingquan jumped out of the carriage, and the doctor in charge of receiving him came over with a dejected face, "You have been away for six or seven days, I don't know what happened..."
Lin Qingquan asked: "What happened in the mountains again?"
"It's not that something happened to Xuanwu Mountain, but something happened to the examinees led by Master Kusama and Master Jing." The medical attendant said, "They lost contact. Before, Master Kusama would send Feijiao over every morning to deliver a red bean as a gift." I wish you peace. But today... is the third day that he hasn't delivered red beans."
"Where are they now?"
"The last time Higashi who sent the red beans said that they were at Mt. Fuji. It is said that fierce magic power appeared there. The demon team, but the demon hunting team went there, and there was no news of it immediately."
The more the doctor said, the more sad he became, "Even the powerful demon hunting team... I'm afraid Master Jing and Master Kusama are even more dangerous."
Lin Qingquan laughed, jumped into the carriage again, looked down at the doctor and waiter and said, "Whether it's bad or bad, you have to go there and see it with your own eyes."
The doctor asked, "Are you going to Mount Fuji?"
"That's right." Lin Qingquan said, "Even if they are really bones, I will move them back and bury them with my own hands..."
He paused, then raised a cold smile, "Especially our lovely Master Jing."
*
It took four days to rush to Mount Fuji day and night.
Mount Fuji was more beautiful in ancient times than it is today.
The dense clumps of lavender and purple | sunflowers are like a pile of firewood, and the mountain is a pot and stove on the pile of flowers, which is baked with an uncertain temperature.It is probably the oven used by the Queen of the Heavens that does not work at all times.
Lin Qingquan got out of the carriage and was deeply shocked.
The scene in front of you is like a colored lead painting painted in three colors of blue, gray and white. It is difficult to describe it in words. You can only bear the greatness of nature in shock, and you have no extra energy to use words from secular customs to describe it. This refined scene.
But what followed was a sense of oppression that was almost overwhelming. For a moment, I couldn't lift my feet, it was extremely heavy.
The pressure was familiar.
Just like the involuntary oppression he felt when Mumu left his body for the first time.
This magic power is menacing.
Just looking at it from a distance, the eyes began to move around the corner, and there was a bursting pain from the bottom of the eyes.
"Don't worry, Mumu." Lin Qingquan said to it, "This demon is evenly matched with you, and it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle between you. You save your energy first, and when it really shows up, you will not be too late to come out again."
The eyes were obedient and did not move anymore.
The mountain is very quiet, the silence is strange, as if the silence has solidified into a pervasive substance like oil and water, filling every corner.
Stepping into Mount Fuji, Lin Qingquan first saw a large sea of bright red flowers that seemed out of place.The sea of flowers is too red, like a burning fire hole in the blue-gray-white mountain scenery like a colored lead painting.The saturated bright red is too dazzling, like the gravel rubbed into the eyes, it is very irritating.
This is not lavender and purple | sunflowers, but roses.
too weird.
How could Mount Fuji have a sea of roses?
Moreover, the area of the sea of flowers is very large, one hectare by visual estimation.
Looking closely, the roses are much taller than ordinary ones, and the rhizomes are as thick as a little finger.The most exaggerated thing is that the flower bone grows to the size of a fist, and the petals are also thick and dense, wrapped in layers, like freshly cut pieces of meat piled up into a beautiful shape, which is disgusting after a long time.
What kind of fertilizer does it have to eat to grow into such a wild look.
Lin Qingquan began to observe the rhizomes.The rhizomes are densely covered with thorns; further down, the roots of the flowers are in the shadows, all inserted|into a whitish substance.
This whitish substance must be the fertilizer that nourishes the roses.
Lin Qingquan knelt down, stretched his hand towards the root of the flower, and touched something cool and soft there.
This feeling is too familiar, especially for Lin Qingquan, who is a doctor and is very familiar with the structure of the human body.
Those are human lips.
He bent down, lit a fire and lit it, and looked at the bottom through the densely intertwined rose rhizomes——
The scene in front of him was like ice piercing into the eyes, making people stand upside down.
On the ground are countless lying human faces, arranged in a haphazard manner, and the rhizomes of roses grow out of the seven orifices of the human beings.Countless heads are like flowerpots for flowers, half-embedded in the soil at the foot of Mount Fuji.The blood has been drained, the skin has become cold and white, and the lips are also lifeless, as if they are just containers for flower seeds.
Lin Qingquan's scalp was numb.
It suddenly occurred to him that in the bunk where he was sleeping, the previous person also died with flowers growing in his body, which was very similar to the scene before him.
It’s just that these people on the ground have only heads.Where did their bodies go?
"Hey! You're not from the Demon Hunting Team, are you?" a man dressed as a soldier called out to him from behind.
The soldiers wore rust-red leather armor, but the armor was discarded.There was slight bleeding in the internal organs, and the brain was also hit hard, with lumps and congestion, which seemed to have experienced a lot of battle damage.His physical condition can be described as bad.
"Looking at your frail appearance, I'm afraid you are a tourist who accidentally broke in." The soldier supported his body with a sword as a crutch, and said weakly, "Go back quickly! There is magic power here, but it is not a normal level of magic power. You're going to die..."
Lin Qingquan bowed to him, "My lord doesn't know, I am not as weak as I look. Maybe I can help you all..."
"You don't know what's going on here!" The soldier became frantic, "There are two demons here, their boundaries overlap...they can't escape...all of us can't escape..."
The two demonized worlds overlap with each other to form a more dangerous and huge world.
Since the recovery of magic power, Lin Qingquan has experienced countless magic, but he has never seen such a big scene.
He was even more excited.
