There were not many guests in the inn, it was very quiet, and it was raining outside. This kind of environment was most suitable for meditating and thinking about things, but Nanfeng couldn't meditate all the time, for no other reason than the fat man didn't wash his feet.
Unable to bear it anymore, Nanfeng could only get up to fetch water and ask the fat man to get up and wash his feet.
The fat man was in a daze and didn't want to think about it, but he got up anyway. He knew that Nanfeng would not let him go.
"Do you think we should go to Fengming Mountain?" Nanfeng asked the fat man for his opinion.
"If you're not afraid of death, just go." The fat man yawned.
Nanfeng didn't answer.
The fat man said again, "It's good for you to go, but there's no good for you and it's so dangerous. Why are you going?"
Nanfeng hadn't answered yet, but what the fat man said was quite reasonable.
"If the King of Beiyao is there, your wife might be there too. If you want to see her, go ahead." The fat man said again.
Nan Feng shook his head. The fat man's words were clearly a provocation. It was obvious that the fat man did not want to go and did not approve of him going.
The fat man made do with washing his feet, turned over and lay down, "It's done, let's pour some water."
Nanfeng brought the footwashing water and poured it out, "You are not my third brother, you are my third uncle."
"Why, let's not talk about the distance. Let's just say that at the beginning of the year, I served you for more than three months." The fat man felt confident and at ease.
Nanfeng poured the water, came back and lay down, closed his eyes and thought.
After washing his feet, the fat man was no longer sleepy. He was different from Nan Feng. He liked to think about things with his eyes open. "It's okay if you don't want to go. If your guess is right, Nan Yao Wang may be out of luck now. Let's go over and take a look." Let’s see if we can do anything for him.”
"Let me think about it." Nanfeng responded.
"What are you thinking, what I said is wrong?" the fat man asked.
"Yes, we don't have anything to exchange with others. At the critical moment, we may be able to exchange for some Qi-boosting pills. What I'm thinking about is how long it has been since the incident, when will Li Chaozong come back, and who is known to everyone in the Liang Kingdom. If they don't know about this, if they hear the news, they will definitely rush over to help, so if we go there, it's just adding insult to injury." Nanfeng said.
The fat man thought for a while and said, "Li Chaozong must have attacked Nan Yao Wang, but we don't know when Li Chaozong attacked Nan Yao King, and we don't know what Nan Yao King is like now."
"There are three possibilities," Nanfeng leaned against the back wall, "One is that Uncle Wang was killed by Li Chaozong, but Li Chaozong couldn't open the place where he hid the alchemy cauldron, so Li Chaozong thought anxiously. We need to ask people from Momen to help."
The fat man sat up and said, "Go on."
"The second possibility is that Uncle Wang is still alive, but he was captured by Li Chaozong. Li Chaozong knew where Uncle Wang hid the Alchemy Cauldron, but Uncle Wang beat him to death without telling him how to get the Medicine King Cauldron."
"It's fine if you don't tell me. If you tell me, you'll be dead. What else?" the fat man asked again.
"The last possibility is that Uncle Wang is still alive. He was not captured by Li Chaozong, but hid in a secret room with the Medicine King Cauldron. Li Chaozong could not open the secret room, so he could only invite people from the Mo Sect to come over. " Nanfeng said.
"Which one do you think is more likely?" the fat man asked.
Nan Feng did not answer immediately, and pondered for a moment before saying, "The last option is that Wang Zhong and Wang Shu are brothers anyway. It is impossible for the senior brother to call outsiders to kill him, but it is possible to ask outsiders to help snatch the Medicine King Cauldron. of."
The fat man nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that's right. There is only one Medicine King Cauldron, and no one stipulates that the King of Medicine Cauldron should go to the South Medicine King."
Nanfeng added, "If it's the first situation, there's nothing we can do. If it's the latter two situations, as long as we try to rescue Nan Yao Wang, he will definitely give us a few Qi-tonifying pills." .”
"To put it lightly, how can we save him? Who can we beat now?" The fat man curled his lips.
Nanfeng shook his head, "You can't beat him, you can only outsmart him. Li Chaozong is not there now, only Wang Zhong and the others are there, so this is an opportunity. Besides, even if Li Chaozong and Wang Zhong attack Uncle Wang, they don't dare to make a big show of it. We will definitely block the news, but if it doesn’t work, let’s publicize the matter and let the people in the Liang Kingdom go and rescue Uncle Wang.”
"That way we won't be able to get the Qi-boosting elixir," the fat man said.
"There's nothing you can do about it, just treat it as a good deed." Nanfeng said. At present, the two of them couldn't bring out anything decent to exchange for Qi-tonifying elixirs with Uncle Wang, so they could only try to do something to help others. It would be best if they could exchange some elixirs. , it doesn’t matter if you can’t change it.
"Okay, let's go," the fat man lay down again, "I have to go to bed. You can calculate when Li Chaozong will come back and how long we have."
Nan Feng nodded.
The fat man went to bed first, and Nanfeng began to think quietly. It took Li Chaozong two days to go to the river. After crossing the river, he went to Yuqingzong for as long as three days or as little as one day. Three days were taken by car and one day was by flying over. It will take at least one day to deal with the conflict between Momen and Yuqingzong. We can’t fly across with Mr. Gongshu. It will take another three days to get back to the river by car. After crossing the river, it will take four days to return to Fengming Mountain. Carefully calculate it, half a month. Li Chaozong cannot come back.
The next morning, the two got up early and hit the road. The rain had stopped, but the road was muddy and they couldn't walk fast. They hurried and walked slowly, barely covering a hundred miles a day.
"How about we buy another car." Nanfeng discussed with the fat man.
"It's not that I'm reluctant. You can do the math for yourself. How many carriages and horses have been wasted between us? When I first met you, I ran away overnight to buy one. You went to Shangqingzong to buy another one. You bought another one some time ago. No. If you use it, throw it away, and..." When the fat man saw Nan Feng looking at him, he stopped talking, "Okay, okay, buy it, buy it, if you don't want to buy it, you will think I'm not willing to part with it. money."
Nanfeng thought for a while, "Forget it, I still won't buy it. I won't have anywhere to put it, so I have to throw it away."
"That's right, it won't be easy for us to get money in the future, so we have to save money." The fat man took out a small cloth bag from his baggage, "I spent some money on the way, and I have more than ninety taels left, here you go."
"You can take it, we won't separate." Nanfeng waved his hand.
The fat man opened the cloth bag, took two pieces and put them into his arms. He wrapped the remaining gold and stuffed it into Nanfeng. "Take some for each of you. You may be captured again one day."
Nanfeng was not polite and took away the cloth bag.
The two made inquiries along the way, stayed late, and set off early. Three days later, they arrived outside Fengming Mountain. Fengming Mountain is located in the mountains to the north of Fengming County. A broad road leads directly from the mountain to Fengming Mountain.
Not long after entering the mountain, the two met a carriage. Because it had rained not long ago, the road was slippery and the carriage got stuck in the mud.
The carriage was driven by two horses, and it was pulling a large object wrapped in raincloth. Judging from the outline, it should be a cabinet or box.
The coachman and the owner were worried. When they saw the two people arriving, they asked them to help push the cart. Nanfeng took the opportunity to inquire about the news. Sure enough, the owner took a carved cabinet from the New Dynasty to Fengming Mountain to change the dressing, but the replacement was not a replacement. Qi Ling Dan, but a beauty-preserving elixir.
