Talk about the world of mortals in detail

There is a well in Zhaozhou City, together with an underground spring, with excellent water quality and a sweet taste.

In today's medical science, in addition to prescriptions, water used for medicine is also very particular. The underground spring well in Zhaozhou City is unanimously considered by many doctors to be the most suitable water source, and it has also become a special well water used for medicine.

When Qi Zhongbin took the jade box of Yujing and Danwan to Diquanjing, he couldn't help but look at the box again and again, but he didn't dare to open it easily.

"This is the elixir!"

"Yes, this is the real elixir. As I told you, the name of this elixir is Yangyuan Dan. When the furnace was raised, the elixir was divided into five pills. This is the last pill!"

The last one

Qi Zhongbin resisted the urge to open it now and walked quickly towards the Diquan Well.

Senior Hui had already told him about his senior brother's stay in Tiandou Mountain before, and he couldn't just look at this elixir, as it would run away.

Qi Zhongbin doesn't know how to fly and escape. If this pill escapes, he will probably have to trouble Master and Senior Gray to catch it.

The Diquan Well is not only covered with thick stone slabs, but is now also guarded by government officials at all times.

Blindfolding is not a panacea, and too much movement can easily attract attention.

Qi Zhongbin circulated the spiritual energy in his body before reaching the well. As he thought, a faint smoke appeared on his fingertips, and a small insect emerged from it. It was the spell that Yi Shuyuan helped him improve.

"Huh~~"

With a gentle breath of air, the sleepy bug flew silently to the darkness of several rooms beside the well.

After the sleepy bug flew around in a circle, the officer who was guarding the dark place suddenly felt sleepy. He forced himself to persevere, but after a yawn, he became more and more tired and soon fell asleep.

Qi Zhongbin then quickly appeared at the edge of the well, then grabbed the cover stone on the well with both hands, and moved the stone up with his strength.

Hui Mian jumped to the wellhead and opened the lid of the small jade box. A light yellow pill appeared in front of Qi Zhongbin.

"Now, let me take a look at it. It looks like this. Because it is wrapped in a layer of pure air, you can't smell it and can't see the light. This air will not only melt when it meets water, but it can also be pinched. But if you don't Be careful, the elixir is gone!”

Qi Zhongbin looked at it for a while, then nodded.

Seeing that he had seen enough, Hui Mian threw the pill directly into the well.

"Plop~"

With a slight sound, Qi Zhongbin quickly looked into the well and saw that the pills had a faint glow after entering the water. However, soon, Fang Fuchi also fell into the water, and the pills' glow faded again.

The Fu Chi vibrated in the water, a faint light of thunder appeared, and ripples appeared on the water in the well.

"Yu Jing doesn't seem too happy!"

After Hui Mian said this, he jumped back to Qi Zhongbin's shoulder, and the latter gently put down the stone slab.

"An elixir can protect the lives of more than 200,000 people in Zhaozhou City, so it's worth it!"

Saying this, Qi Zhongbin jumped lightly, and like a light swallow, he jumped onto the nearby roof, and then swung his toes into the distance.

Hearing what Qi Zhongbin said, Hui Mian just smiled "hehe". Whether it was the innocent Shi Sheng or the honest and steady Qi Zhongbin, Mr.'s disciples all had good character.

Anyone else would definitely feel sorry for this elixir. After all, let alone the world of spiritual cultivation, even on the path to immortality, this thing is a rare treasure.

"Hey, boy Qi, if you put this elixir in front of Emperor Dayong and let him choose, what would he choose?"

Qi Zhongbin walked away despite the wind and thought about it seriously.

"If it were any other emperor, he would definitely choose the elixir himself, but today, it's really hard to say."

——

Chengtian Mansion, in the royal study room of the imperial palace, only Emperor Dayong and Zhang Liangxi are here at the moment. The emperor, who is always calm in front of his ministers, can hardly say that he is tired at this moment.

The intense discussion among the ministers in the morning had ended before, and just now, the important ministers had just finished their deliberations and left the imperial study.

The Lingdong plague had been sent to Chengtian Mansion a few days ago, and in order to reduce the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court's collection of medicinal materials, the news was not concealed from the people.

As for the possibility of causing someone to hoard goods, those who don't know how to stock up will naturally not do so. For those who know how to stock up, even if the government keeps it a secret, they themselves can get the information through various parties.

Today, the center of discussion between the monarch and his ministers is naturally Lingdong.

A series of latest news over there has just reached Chengtian Mansion. Before, there were doubts, but today it is confirmed that the Zhaozhou plague has broken out in full force.

Some things can be discussed among the ministers, and some things can only be said to close friends.

"Zhaozhou Plague. Mr. Yi actually went to Zhaozhou City. Alas."

The emperor said and rubbed his forehead.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Mr. Yi is a good person. Besides, if he wants to go, the spies won't dare to stop him."

Of course the emperor knew this, and having Yi Shuyuan in Zhaozhou would definitely be more beneficial to controlling the plague, but being at the center of the plague was also very dangerous.

"Liangxi, can you really say that a person with great talent can really cover everything?"

The emperor's words were not only about Yi Shuyuan's medical skills, but also about the "Book of Complaints to Sima for Disaster Relief". The original manuscript was already on the imperial record.

That word surprised the emperor, and the content on it was a bit scary. If the predictions in this article are correct, Lingdong is likely to experience a severe drought in the next few years.

Here, even Zhang Liangxi did not dare to answer casually, but the emperor did not want him to answer, so he continued speaking on his own.

"Mr. Yi wrote the article and discussed it with others. Li Qian will not be informed until it is confirmed. It seems that this young man named Chu Hang is not simple!"

Someone like Yi Shuyuan actually contacted the Disaster Relief Sima about this matter first instead of talking to Li Qian directly, which shows his recognition of this person's talent in this area.

Li Qian's appointment of Chu Hang as the Lingdong disaster relief commander was also his recognition, and he had mentioned it several times in previous memorials.

"There was no such name among the previous batches of Jinshi. The rectification of the imperial examinations was not strong enough, and there are still many talents who were buried! And what should Zhaozhou City do?"

"Your Majesty, a secret report has arrived!"

The eunuch's voice came from outside the imperial study. Zhang Liangxi immediately walked outside quickly. When he came back, he already had a scroll in his hand. After carefully untying it, he handed the silk text inside to the emperor.

As soon as he saw this letter, the anxiety on the emperor's face eased a lot.

This secret report was not discovered by the spies themselves, but was sent by Tan Yuanshang. By that time, he had already collected a large amount of medicinal materials and food and set off.

——

In Lingdong, on the Datong River, large ships are sailing. These are all river merchant ships, with a big word "Tan" written on the sails.

At this moment, the fleet has reached the boundary of Yunzhou.

Tan Yuanshang stood on the bow of the first big ship, flanked by an older steward and an old shipwright.

"Master, the water level is wrong!"

"Yeah, why does the Datong River water area in front become so narrow?"

Tan Yuanchang looked into the distance and suddenly felt a thrill all over his body.

"Stop the ship quickly, starting from the last ship, stop the ships one after another——"

The old boatmen also reacted.

"Raise the stop flag——"

Soon, there were more than a dozen large ships in the entire fleet, starting from the last one, lowering the sails first, and then the speed of the fleet slowly slowed down.

But it seemed to be a step too late. In order to prevent being hit by the boat behind, the speed of the first boat needed to be maintained for a period of time.

When the speed of the first ship began to slow down, suddenly the whole ship paused.

Tan Yuanchang suddenly leaned forward and leaned on the guardrail of the bow, and the mast of the ship shook slightly.

Experienced boaters know what this means.

"Oops, stranded!"

"Quickly get off the boat and take a look -"

Tan Yuanshang was extremely anxious at this moment. He looked back at the fleet behind him, and then hit the guardrail hard with "thump".

"oops!"

Once a ship runs aground, not only will the ship be unable to fix the problem, but it will also block the waterway.

"Master, even if the waterway is not blocked, I'm afraid we can't use big boats on the river in front of us. We can only transport it by small boats, or by carriages and horses."

Tan Yuanshang sighed.

"This place is not far from Dengzhou City, but it is still quite far away from Zhaozhou. Please ask Dengzhou and Yunzhou Yamen for help quickly. I hope they can send more carriages and horses, or bring some boats over!"

"yes!"

By the time the servant went to order someone to summon him, there were already boatmen on the ship outside the ship. Some were watching from the shore, while some swam directly to the bow of the ship and dived to check the bottom of the ship.

Tan Yuanchang looked at the river in the distance, his brows furrowed into the character "chuan".

Lingdong has just experienced a major disaster. The ships that were originally in Lingdong were already in the water, so almost none of them survived the flood. Therefore, it is difficult to count on the ships unless they are built now.

In fact, the situation of carriages and horses is similar, and they are also responsible for important transportation tasks. There will definitely not be much spare available for use at a time, not to mention that they will need to take a long detour and don't know how many times they will go back and forth.

In fact, the imperial court also had grain ships plying this river, but that was a month ago. Nowadays, most of the grain needed by Lingdong comes in by land and through other state borders.

That afternoon, the masters of the Tan family used Qinggong to rush and arrived at Dengzhou City first.

After getting the news, Li Qian immediately found Chu Hang, because Chu Hang had been checking the water veins everywhere during this period.

Subsequently, many officials discussed countermeasures at the Imperial Envoy's Office.

——

In the early morning of the next day, Tan Yuanshang, who had been unable to sleep all night, came to the bow of the ship early. He was always quite sure of everything he did. Even if it was a big gamble, he at least had the initiative.

This time it was just a ship stranded, but it made Tan Yuanshang experience the long-lost sorrow, not only because of the guarantee to the emperor, but also because the things on the ship were really important.

"Master, someone is coming over there."

Tan Yuanchang, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, heard the sound and then gradually stood up from the bow of the boat, taking off the cloak on his body.

There were gradually some sounds of bustling coming from the road along the river in the distance, and many figures appeared there. Many of them were carrying ropes on their backs, some were carrying tools, there were officials and civilians, there were young people and there were old people.

The leader was Chu Hang. When he saw the ship ahead, he didn't bother to wipe his sweat and shouted loudly.

"I saw the ship—please work harder—"

Because he understands the hydrological environment and the water conditions everywhere, Chu Hang understands that although the water level of Datong River is not good, it is not shallow everywhere. It is shallow here and deep there. The best transportation method is still river transportation.

How to survive in shallow water? Naturally, it’s made of artificial fiber!

More and more people came, but Tan Yuanshang didn't see many cars and horses, let alone many boats. However, he immediately got off the boat and went to the shore to meet the so-called Lingdong disaster relief commander.

A quarter of an hour later, the others were still resting, and Tan Yuanshang, who was learning about the plan on the side, showed a look of surprise.

"What? Use fiberglass? Do you know how heavy my boat is? And there are more than one boat! Towing it from here to Zhaozhou, are you crazy?"

Tan Yuanshang felt a little ridiculous, his boat was not small.

Chu Hang nodded.

"Of course I do. I also know that a fully loaded ship has a draft of four feet six, and shallow water areas can also use the buoyancy of the water!

And we are not dragging to Zhaozhou, the entire river area is not shallow water everywhere.

If you drag forward a hundred feet, you can get out of this shallow stream, and then there is ten miles of deep water. After another twenty feet, there is another three miles of deep water. After another fifty feet, the boat can travel more than sixty miles."

Chu Hang pointed to the men who were resting and replenishing their strength with their own dry food, and then pointed to the river in the distance. There were still people arriving at this moment.

He said slowly in a low but decisive voice.

"Mr. Tan, you have to believe that this disaster will be won by man and God!"

Tan Yuanchang looked at the men sitting on the river. They were all discussing how to use force for a while, and excitedly talked about how many lives could be saved with so many medicinal materials, but no one said anything depressing!

Tan Yuanshang's thoughts were also shaken.

Chu Hang originally planned to bring a few hundred people, but as soon as the news spread, more than a thousand Dengzhou men who had worked together to fight floods and control floods came together overnight.

Some time later, Tan Yuanshang saw a scene he would never forget.

Ropes connected the Dengzhou men to the big boat behind them. If the ropes were not long enough, they would connect. The ropes would lead people to people. Some people did not have loops to put on their shoulders, so they just held on to the ropes like tug-of-war.

They had the experience of working together, shouting slogans in unison, and were about to drag the big ship.

"One, two, three, hold the leash and walk!"

Someone shouts a chant and everyone repeats it.

"One, two, three, hold the leash and walk, hey-"

"One, two, three, save our hometown!"

"One, two, three, save my hometown, hey-"

The rope made a sound of being tightened, and every "tracker" was blushing. Even Chu Hang was also working hard in the team, and everyone worked together to pull the rope.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The soil beneath everyone's feet was turned up, and the huge ship actually began to move slowly.

On the Datong River, wherever the water is shallow and difficult to pass, more than a thousand Dengzhou men will transform into trackers.

But it’s not just the people themselves who are helping along the way. Some pieces of land will quietly appear. They can’t do anything big, but they can make the trackers’ feet more stable and the soil more solid!

Some monsters in the water also appeared in response to the feeling, and they couldn't do anything big, but they could make some changes in the water level and flow in some places, so that people wouldn't be able to completely drag the boat.

Although the boatmen on the ship had to raise the sails and control the ship, they were also deeply shocked!

More than a dozen large ships entered shallow water again and again, and then entered deep water again and again. They simply relied on their flesh and blood to resist!
