After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 563: The art of taming beasts, luring the tiger away from the mountain!
This [Zombie Poison] is quite to my taste.

The prescription of this medicine includes a main ingredient, coffin fungus that is over a hundred years old.

There are quite a lot of these things on Old Coffin Mountain.

As for other prescriptions, although there are dozens of them, they don’t seem difficult to find.

Chen Yang studied the production process carefully.

I think it's worth a try.

……

-

The next day.

The rain has passed but the sky has not cleared yet.

The sky is still gloomy, with dark clouds covering the horizon, and it looks like it will rain again.

This late spring cold snap caught the villagers off guard. The temperature dropped a lot, as if it had returned to winter overnight.

I don’t know if the tea crops in the village have been damaged, and the yield might even be reduced.

It’s not long until Qingming Festival. The price of tea is better before Qingming Festival every year.

Because of the weather this year, the tea leaves came out late. Tea leaves from other places came out earlier, and the price couldn't keep up due to the delay in the village. Now with this incident, this year's harvest will definitely be greatly affected.

The villagers depend on the weather for their livelihood, and many of them are complaining.

Today is my great-grandmother’s death anniversary. Every year on this day, the old man would come back, but this time there was an additional person, Zhao Yingyue.

Chen Yang's great-grandmother is Zhao Yingyue's godmother, so it is reasonable for her to come back at this time.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not raining, Chen Yang accompanied them to the cemetery and tidied up the graves of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

After returning from the memorial service, it started drizzling again.

There was still a faint sound of thunder in the distance, but it was not as terrifying as last night.

Is it the one from Old Coffin Mountain who is undergoing the tribulation?
Is this a success or a failure?
Standing in the yard, Chen Yang took a deep breath. The cold wind entered his throat, making him feel cool and his mind unusually clear.

"Xiaoyang."

A rough female voice came from outside the yard.

Then, a majestic figure walked in.

Huang Xia.

She was wearing an apron and had a very sturdy figure. Although she was not as tall as Chen Yang, her weight was definitely overweight.

"Aunt, is there something wrong?" Chen Yang looked at her puzzledly.

Huang Xia said, "Xiao Yang, can you help me call Xiao Can? This kid has been out playing for a few days. He is so busy at home that he doesn't even come back to help. I called him, but he was annoying and hung up on me. I was so angry..."

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. "Aunt, haven't you always hoped that he would find a girlfriend? Now that he has found a girlfriend, why are you controlling him..."

"I'm not in charge of him..." Huang Xia said helplessly, "You know him. This guy is usually careless, but he's actually very gullible. You said he's looking for a girlfriend, but we don't know what kind of person he is. He's been out for so many days. I'm afraid he'll get cheated. You don't know, his brother-in-law has been watching videos recently and saw many people being cheated and sent abroad..."

"This kid still doesn't answer my call. I'm really worried..."

Looking at Huang Xia's expression, she was really anxious.

After all, she only has this one younger brother, the only child in the Huang family.

Huang Can grew up under her care. She acted like both a sister and a mother to him. She even had to take him with her when she got married. When had he ever been away from her for such a long time?
Chen Yang touched his forehead and felt a little overwhelmed. "Well, Auntie, you can't persuade him, and he may not listen to me."

"That's hard to say. This kid is rebellious now. If you can persuade him for me, he will probably listen. Anyway, bring the girl back first and let us take a look at her first..."

"I really don't know what this kid is thinking. Guihua is so good and he knows her inside out, but he doesn't want her and insists on finding one himself..."

"Hurry up, Xiaoyang, help auntie call him..."

Huang Xia spoke really fast, and with her rough appearance, it seemed like she was about to hit someone.

Chen Yang really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Helpless, I took out my phone.

I found Huang Can’s number and called him.

It rang twice and then it worked.

"What's wrong?"

Huang Can's voice came from the other side.

"Your sister is at my house." Chen Yang said concisely.

Huang Xia walked over and was about to start cursing through the phone, but was stopped by Chen Yang.

On the other side, Huang Can heard Chen Yang's call and naturally understood what he meant.

……

After a while, he hung up the phone.

"What did he say?" Huang Xia asked immediately.

Chen Yang laughed dryly, "He is very good, he was not deceived, he will be back in two days."

"How long is two days?" Huang Xia stared. As everyone knows, two days is an imaginary number.

"Two days means two days, within 48 hours."

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aunt, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but he's already grown up. Don't protect him too well. Give him some freedom. He finally found someone who shares the same ideals with him. If you ruin his relationship, he might get upset..."

"Alright, alright."

Huang Xia waved her hands. She knew what Chen Yang wanted to say, but some things were instinctive and difficult to control.

Who told her that she only has this one brother?

"Thank you, Xiaoyang. Auntie is going back now."

"Aunt, wait a moment."

Chen Yang called her.

Huang Xia turned around and looked at him with some confusion.

Chen Yang said, "I need some medicinal herbs here, but I have never seen some of the names, and I don't know what medicine they are. You know a lot, can you give me some advice, or help me find these medicines..."

The recipe for [Zombie Poison], in addition to coffin fungus, also includes dozens of medicinal ingredients, most of which he recognizes, but there is a small part that he really doesn't know what it is.

After all, he was not a medical student.

Huang Xia came over just in time, and Chen Yang suddenly had an idea: professional matters should be handled by professionals, which would save trouble and effort.

Obviously, Huang Xia was the person he was looking for.

Huang Xia was embarrassed when she heard this. "Xiaoyang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I don't have time. I have to pick tea leaves and I'm very busy. Your uncle can't do much work either..."

"Aunt, I won't let you work for nothing."

Chen Yang interrupted her and said, "Look at the weather this year. After this late spring cold snap, tea production will definitely decrease, and the price will not be as good as in previous years. Why don't you help me make medicine? It won't take much of your time. I will pay you a salary and I will definitely not treat you unfairly. It will definitely be more than what you earn picking tea leaves..."

"This……"

Huang Xia was obviously moved when she heard this.

This year's tea is indeed not valuable. At the end of the year, if the trend continues, we'll be thankful if we can sell only half of last year's amount.

If you can have a side job to make money, why not do it?
But how much can Chen Yang give?
Chen Yang said, "For now, just the pills you made for me last time, you can take a few days every month to make a batch for me. In addition, this time, I need a batch of medicinal materials to make new medicine. You are responsible for helping me find all the medicinal materials. Money is not a problem..."

"As for the compensation, I'll pay you 8,000 per month. If you do a good job, there will be bonuses. What do you think?"

"Eight thousand?"

Huang Xia was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard wrongly.

"If you think it's too little, we can discuss it!" Chen Yang said.

"No!"

Huang Xia waved her hand, "Xiao Yang, are you sure you're not kidding?"

She didn't think it was too little, but too much. In the village, eight thousand a month was simply a sky-high price.

Like her, getting up early and working late every day to pick tea leaves, even when the spring tea market is at its best, she may not be able to earn 8,000 yuan a month. Moreover, after the Qingming Festival, the market will go down and the income will become less and less.

It's not just their family, every tea farmer in the village is like this.

Eight thousand a month is a stable income, and it doesn’t take up much time, which is equivalent to a part-time job. I also have time to manage the tea at home. This is simply pie in the sky.

Chen Yang said, "Aunt, if you don't trust me, we can also draw up a contract!"

"No, no, no, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that you gave me too much..."

Huang Xia laughed dryly, but seemed to be afraid that Chen Yang would regret it, so she quickly said, "Since you think so highly of me, there is no reason for me to refuse. Bring the medicine here first and let me see what herbs you need..."

Who can resist money?
Chen Yang didn't say much and led Huang Xia into the main room.

Chen Jingzhi, Zhao Yingyue, and Qin Zhou were playing cards. Huang Xia only recognized Chen Jingzhi, so she called him "uncle" and greeted him.

After a while, Chen Yang took out a piece of paper, which was the formula of [Zombie Poison] that he had specially copied down.

Of course, the paper only listed the medicinal materials, but did not mention the dosage or the method of refining the medicine.

When the time comes, he will have to make the medicine himself.

Huang Xia took a look and looked up at Chen Yang, "Most of these herbs are poisonous..."

Chen Yang nodded without further explanation.

Huang Xia had a rough idea in her mind, so she didn't ask any more questions and just said, "No requirements on the year?"

Chen Yang shook his head. "No, but if possible, the older the better!"

"Ok!"

Huang Xia responded, "Most of them are very common and can be bought in ordinary pharmacies. Some of them may be more difficult to find, but we should be able to find them in the mountains nearby..."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Auntie. I'll transfer the money for the herbs to you later. If you have any difficulties, just tell me!"

"Ok!"

……

This task was handed over to Huang Xia, but Chen Yang still had a lot of things to do. He had to find the herbs one by one by himself. It was unknown how long it would take for him to gather all the herbs needed to make medicine.

In addition, the caravan has already set up shop across the country and has begun to expand into overseas markets. The demand for [Qi-boosting Pills] and [Shen-yun Pills] will only grow.

Chen Yang doesn't want to waste his time on this kind of thing.

Therefore, he planned to build a special workshop and hand over the task of refining medicine to others. He would only be responsible for managing prescriptions and dispensing medicines.

Spend a little money and save a lot of trouble, this is what he wants.

At present, there are only two kinds of medicines, [Yunshen Pills] and [Buqi Pills]. There is only Huang Xia, and at most she will hire a few more people to be responsible for packaging. This is enough. But if other new drugs come out in the future, we will definitely expand.

Money must be earned. Although Chen Yang doesn't have much idea about money, who would complain about having too much of it?

……

-

Baoguo Temple, Ganshan Association.

In a meeting room on the second floor, Qiao Hongjun, Liu Jianguo and other main leaders of the association were present.

Qiao Hongjun was sitting in the main seat, listening to Wang Yuanchao's report.

"The center of the thunderstorm last night was at Bamian Mountain. It was the man from Laoguan Mountain who broke through to the Daozhen realm. I went there early this morning, but I didn't go to Shiwang Valley. Huang Daolin was guarding the gate for him. He said that he must have successfully broken through..."

"Huang Daolin?"

"Director Qiao may not know that this person is a Taoist priest from Huangjia Village in Pingqiang Town. He can be considered a hermit. He has entered the realm of creation some time ago. I heard that he is very powerful..."

"Oh, the land of Shu is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Chen Yang is also from Pingqiang Town, right?"

"Yes, Chen Yang is from Jiapigou, Pingqiang Town. Jiapigou is adjacent to Huangjia Village. He calls Huang Daolin his uncle, and they have a good relationship..."

"Oh……"

Qiao Hongjun raised his eyebrows.

So, Chen Yang’s rise is not accidental. There must be a capable person behind him. And this capable person is Huang Daolin?
He actually wanted to meet Huang Daolin.

However, the thought only flashed through his mind. The purpose of holding this meeting today was not this, but about the man in Lao Guanshan.

Qiao Hongjun said, "This senior from Laoguan Mountain has suppressed the underground palace for many years, and his contribution is of great importance. The successful breakthrough this time is naturally a good thing, but there is always a period of weakness after the breakthrough. During this period, if something happens in the underground palace, the consequences will be very serious. Later, Master Yuanlong will arrange a few monks to suppress it..."

Next to him sat a skinny old monk. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Grandmaster and three uncles are in seclusion. It's probably useless for other disciples to go. The existence in the underground palace cannot be suppressed by ordinary people. I'd better go there myself."

"That's the best."

Qiao Hongjun nodded.

He didn't know how strong Huang Daolin was, but he knew how terrifying the existence in the underground palace was, so necessary safety precautions were necessary.

Wang Yuanchao said, "Director Qiao, there is one more thing that may need to be reported."

Qiao Hongjun looked at him and saw that Wang Yuanchao had a serious expression on his face, which must be a very serious matter.

Wang Yuanchao looked around.

"We are all family. There is no need to be shy. Just speak your mind." Qiao Hongjun said.

Wang Yuanchao nodded and said, "According to Huang Daolin, someone tried to enter Laoguan Mountain last night, but was stopped by him."

"Oh?"

Qiao Hongjun's eyes moved slightly. Did he break into Laoguan Mountain last night?
Who is so brave to break into Old Coffin Mountain under the thunder of Daozhen Realm? Is he seeking death on purpose?

But judging from Wang Yuanchao's expression, I'm afraid this person's identity is not simple.

"Who is it?" Qiao Hongjun asked immediately.

This person's identity is sensitive, so Wang Yuanchao would hesitate.

After a moment, he made up his mind and said, "It is most likely Xiao Sanhuai."

Qiao Hongjun frowned.

The rest of the people also felt a pang in their hearts.

Wang Yuanchao continued, "Based on Huang Daolin's description of his appearance, I think it should be correct. It is Xiao Sanhuai without a doubt. He is accompanied by two red and white dragons..."

"Red and white dragons?"

Qiao Hongjun's brows furrowed even deeper. "Aren't those the two beasts raised by Murong Qian? Why are they following him?"

Wang Yuanchao said, "Before coming to Shu, Xiao Sanhuai went back to Raojiang. The Red and White Flood Dragons could be controlled by him, so I guess the relationship between him and Murong Qian is extraordinary."

"According to Huang Daolin, in addition to the red and white dragons, the zodiac tiger also appeared in Bamianshan last night. It seems that it has been tamed by Xiao Sanhuai..."

When these words were spoken, everyone was even more surprised.

Qiao Hongjun frowned, "From what I know, Lao Xiao is not good at taming beasts, let alone a beast like the [Zodiac Tiger]!"

Wang Yuanchao hesitated for a moment, "Director Qiao, Mr. Xiao may not be good at the art of taming beasts, but there is someone who is proficient in this..."

He paused at this point.

I don’t know whether I should say the following.

Qiao Hongjun definitely knew who he was talking about, but most of the others were confused.

Wang Yuanchao said, "Huang Daolin said that the weapon used by this person is a steel rod, which probably weighs at least several thousand kilograms. I checked the information and found that the rod should be a relic of Ding Huanchun and has been sealed by the Ding family..."

How did Ding Huanchun's belongings end up in Xiao Sanhuai's hands?

His intention in saying this was very clear.

Especially Qiao Hongjun, his expression was extremely serious.

Chen Yang had talked to him a lot before, questioning Xiao Sanhuai's identity. Now what Wang Yuanchao said seemed to confirm these speculations.

It was really hard for him to believe that Xiao Sanhuai, who had worked with him for so many years, had such a background and identity.

Of course, as the leader of the association, Qiao Hongjun is rational and will not easily listen to one side of the story.

After all, what Wang Yuanchao said was not what he saw with his own eyes, but just Huang Daolin's one-sided statement.

He had no idea who Huang Daolin was, and this person had a close relationship with Chen Yang. The truth of the matter remained to be verified.

At this time, Liu Jianguo said, "Let's assume it's Xiao Sanhuai. His purpose of going to the underground palace is either for the Three Corpses Divine Tree or for the other being. The Three Corpses Divine Tree should not be of much use to him, but for the other being, I'm afraid..."

Wang Yuanchao took over the conversation, "Huang Daolin fought with him before, and the other party was afraid of the thunder, so he retreated temporarily. But since he is heading for the underground palace, he will definitely not give up. After the breakthrough of the old man in the coffin mountain, there will be a period of weakness. During this period of time, he will definitely make another move..."

Qiao Hongjun narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

No one spoke, waiting quietly for instructions.

"If it's really him, then I roughly know when he will take action."

After a moment, Qiao Hongjun opened his eyes and straightened his body. "Just now, Elder Xiao called me and said that he will come to Shao'e City the day after tomorrow and host a banquet for me and the masters of Baoguo Temple at Sufangzhai in the evening. So I think the night after tomorrow should be the best time for him to take action."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they understood.

With such a big commotion at Laoguan Mountain, the association must have taken action and sent experts to suppress it. With his status, he invited Qiao Hongjun and everyone from Baoguo Temple to a banquet. Who could refuse to give him this face?

This move is called luring the tiger away from the mountain.

He used the excuse of having a banquet to detain Qiao Hongjun and others, while he himself was doing things in Laoguan Mountain.

Don’t mention it, this method was thought up by humans.

With Xiao Sanhuai's strength and status, the only people he could be afraid of were Qiao Hongjun, the general commissioner, and the many powerful people in Baoguo Temple.
