The mouse is one foot long and is painted extremely finely, with every hair on its body just like the real thing.
Behind the mouse is a cave with some magic grass around it.
The picture scroll was the same as the one Xiao Yu had obtained before, with faint aura fluctuations.
"Both of you have seen it. I got this scroll from a down-and-out scholar during my travels. It is his family heirloom.
Today I have made bold statements to let others know that I have such a treasure in my hand. If I take it out with my strength, others will definitely remember it.
So I plan to trade them to Maoshan in exchange for some spiritual herbs."
The old man slowly closed the scroll and said very sincerely.
Xiao Yu and Qinglong thought that it would take a lot of effort to get this scroll, but they never thought that the other party was so aware of current affairs that he took the initiative to deliver it to their door.
"The rat beast is the guardian of the twelve zodiac signs and has a great origin."
It is said that before Nuwa could mend the sky, the water from the Milky Way poured into the world, and the lives of the people were devastated.
As a mountain god, the mouse saw the suffering of mortals, so he summoned his tribe, dug holes in the mountains, guided floods into the sea, and rescued hundreds of millions of mortals. His merits are immeasurable.
After the Emperor of Heaven learned about the great feat of the mouse, he named him the Lord of the Twelve Guardians of the Chinese Zodiac.
Most of the underground rivers in China today are the result of the ancient rat clan, so the rat is the zodiac sign and deserves its title.
However, the other party wanted to exchange for a thousand-year-old spiritual grass based only on a rat zodiac picture, so Xiao Yu felt a little disadvantaged.
"Fellow Taoist Huangshi, I think it goes without saying how much this scroll is worth. You should hear it at the auction.
I just don’t know, what spiritual grass do you want to exchange for?”
Qinglong asked the other party to sit down and reminded him slightly.
A two-thousand-year-old spiritual grass can be exchanged for two thousand yuan stones. Even if it is hundreds of years old, it is still worth hundreds of yuan, so Qinglong still knows how to bargain.
Qinglong doesn't know how many spiritual herbs Xiao Yu has on his body, but he won't agree to it casually.
Although the old man Huangshi's cultivation level was not high, the other party also knew the value of the spiritual grass, so after hearing Qinglong's words, he handed it over again.
"Elder Qinglong, don't worry, I'm not asking for high prices. Although this zodiac painting is precious, if you can't pay for the twelve zodiac signs, it won't be of much use.
I've heard before that there is a stall on Qinglong Road where gold and cinnabar are exchanged for whitegrass and whiteflowers.
By chance, I happen to know a little clue, I wonder if these two things can be exchanged for a spiritual grass that can break through?"
After Old Man Huangshi finished speaking, he looked at Qinglong with some urgency. As for Xiao Yu, he was directly ignored by it.
Baijiudao and Baijiudou, these are the life-saving things of Baijiudou, and Xiao Yu really wants to know the news now.
So after Old Man Huangshi finished speaking, he sent a message to Qinglong to ask him to agree.
"Since Huang Daoyou is so sincere, we will make this deal."
After Qinglong hesitated for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yu also turned over his hands at this time and took out a wooden box.
"This is the vein-breaking grass that Xiao Yu gave me. It has been heated for 1,200 years. When you have a breakthrough, fellow Taoist, pick the leaves and take it directly. I wish you a breakthrough."
Old Man Huangshi originally thought that Qinglong was the person in charge here, but he didn't expect that the medicinal herbs would be taken out from the hand of the sallow-faced man next to him.
And the other party actually called Xiao Yu by his first name, which really surprised him.
But when he thought of Maoshan's current strength, he couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that the sallow-faced man in front of him must have just joined Maoshan and had a very good relationship with Xiao Yu.
An ordinary elder would not dare to directly call Xiao Yu by his real name.
"Thank you, elder. Thank you, Lord Yuhua."
Old Man Huangshi took the wooden box with some trembling, then opened it and took a look.
I thought that Qinglong would bargain again, but I didn't expect that the other party would be so generous and deal with me directly.
"This Daoyou has other news. If the situation is true, we can trade with you again."
It may have been a long time since Old Man Huangshi got this rat zodiac scroll. Xiao Yu didn't think he had inquired about other zodiac scrolls.
If you can get information about other guardian zodiac scrolls from the other party, it will save you a lot of time.
"Elder Wisdom, although my strength is low, I have traveled to famous mountains and rivers, large and small Taoist temples, and seen many treasures over the years.
It has been thirty years since I got this zodiac scroll. During these thirty years, I have also secretly inquired about the zodiac scroll, and finally I got some clues.
The zodiac guardian scrolls are scattered all over China and are very difficult to find. Over the years, I have found the sources of three scrolls.
But most of them are in the grand view, and some are in the hidden door.
My strength is low and I don't have many treasures to exchange, so I put it aside.
Elders, if you have time, you can go to these places to search and you will definitely find something."
After Old Man Huang finished speaking, he took out a marked scroll and handed it to Xiao Yu.
"The place where there are crocodiles and crocodiles is located in the faults of the mountains deep in Yunnan.
The marks on the scroll are where the Zodiac Guardian Scroll is located."
The map depicts all the famous mountains and rivers of China, as well as some sectarian forces.
And above a valley in Yunnan, a blooming flower is painted, which should be the location of the Baijie flower.
No more, no less, there are exactly five positions of white knot grass, white knot flower and zodiac guardian scroll.
Xiao Yu used his spiritual power to scan every position on the scroll and found that the marks had been made for a long time and were not just drawn, so he nodded.
I thought that Old Man Huangshi only had one scroll, but he didn't expect that he had so many secrets. This made Xiao Yu and the others overjoyed.
"That's great. With this map, it will be much more convenient in the future.
It’s rare for fellow Taoist believers in us so much, and we won’t let you suffer, so we’ll give you this spiritual herb as well.”
Xiao Yu once again took out a wooden box and handed it to the old man Huangshi, which surprised him greatly.
"Thank you, elder, thank you very much."
Old Man Huangshi took the wooden box with some excitement, looked at it again and again with admiration, and then exchanged a few words with Xiao Yu and the others before saying goodbye and leaving.
Watching the other party leave, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, then spread out the map and memorized the locations on it.
At this moment, the old man in black, who made Xiao Yu feel a little afraid, also rushed out of the cave.
But the nine-tailed fish clan still did not leave, as if they wanted to seek shelter here.
In the early morning of the next day, the disciples sent by Qinglong sent him news that Sai Huatuo was meeting with the Earth Immortal of Zhongnan Mountain at this time and was expected to leave soon.
After Xiao Yu heard the news, without any hesitation, he went directly to Pavilion Master Zhuge and explained the situation to him.
"You said you wanted to exchange the egg on Saihuatuo's body?"
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Pavilion Master Zhuge looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I want that egg. I feel that the egg can be of some help to me, or it should be destined to me.
So after a while Sai Hua Tuo came out and asked the master of the pavilion to say a few good words for me.
I think Saihua Tuo will not refuse what I offer."
What pharmacists value most are herbs and elixirs.
Although Xiao Yu does not have the best elixirs, he does have the best medicinal herbs.
