    "Spell, it's a spell!" Xiao Zhuzhu shouted in his heart.  An ordinary person like him had learned some boxing, kicking, and stick skills from his elders in the past, but he had never been exposed to magic. He had only seen a few magicians among the demon slayers on the street when he was so old, or some companies.  A half-assed person with no class performing tricks on the street like a juggler.  Being able to see this scene with his own eyes at this time, even if it was just the simplest injection of spiritual power, was enough to make Xiaozhu excited.

    Most of the boys around him were in the same mood as Xiao Zhuzhu.  Among common people, warriors are often seen, but magicians are rare, and there are many legends about flying into the sky and escaping from the earth.  Therefore, those who master the power of magic are both mysterious and powerful to the common people, filling them with awe. This can be seen from the titles such as "Zhenren, Immortal Chief, and Master".

    Among all the people, Zheng Kui, Colgate, Wu Da and other experienced people behaved calmly.  They have been doing business for many years and have heard, seen and experienced many things. Naturally, they can see that this is just the most basic use of spiritual power. Apart from anything else, the witch doctors they have seen in the mountain barbarian villages are more powerful than this.  If there are more, they won¡¯t be as rare and strange as these boys.

    "This man really knows magic." Wu Er muttered from behind the crowd.

    Wu Da standing next to him looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about what was happening in front of him, but his eyes were flickering.

    Tie Heng fished out the leaf that was still emitting a faint green light from the clear water, and motioned to Colgate on one side to apply the prepared ointment on it.  Colgate took a peek at Zheng Kui and saw that he had no objection, so she followed the instructions and used a chopstick to dip the ointment into it and apply it evenly on one side of the leaves.

    "Go and get some cloth straps. They will be used to fix them later." Tie Heng said, and then he covered Zheng Kui's exposed left knee with the leaves in his hand.

    Colgate pushed the small pillar next to her.  He accompanied Zheng Kui and never left.  The latter was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and ran to the bunk where the luggage was placed.  He rummaged through a few clean cloth straps and quickly got back into the crowd.  Colgate took it, picked two cloth strips and wrapped them around Zheng Kui's left knee, wrapping the big sycamore leaf tightly.  Then another leaf was applied to the knee of the right leg in the same way.

    "That's it. Take it off after an hour. Remember to clean off the ointment that sticks to the skin." Tie Heng finished this step and sat back to his original position.

    "Yes, I've written it down." Colgate agreed, squatting there without getting up, but followed the instructions on the prescription, pressing the acupuncture points on Zheng Kui's legs to massage him.  She was a little rusty at first.  Afraid of not doing enough, he turned his head to look at Tie Heng from time to time, asking him to correct himself.

    "Woo" After not much time, Zheng Kui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly let out a low groan. His brows also frowned, and his facial expression showed obvious pain.

    "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Zheng Kui's reaction frightened Colgate and he quickly stopped.

    "My knees feel so hot, and there are bursts of tingling pain." Zheng Kui gritted his teeth as he spoke.  It shows how painful he is at this moment.

    But before Colgate¡¯s face changed color, Zheng Kui twitched the corners of his mouth and pulled out a twisted smile.  "Don't worry, this is a good thing. Now my uncle's legs are not only sore and painful, but also stiff and numb in severe cases. This is why I have been sitting still. Now I can feel heat and tingling.  It¡¯s much better than being completely unaware.¡±

    When Colgate and others heard what he said, their worries suddenly turned into joy.  Colgate's secretly tense nerves relaxed a little, and she even cast a grateful look at Tie Heng.  Tie Heng smiled slightly at her.

    "It's only been a quarter of an hour now, and the medicine has just begun to exert its power. It may be more painful later. Brother Zheng must be mentally prepared." Tie Heng reminded.

    "Haha, a certain family has suffered so much in the past decades. This minor ailment is nothing. I think back then, a robber slashed his back with a knife, and his spine was exposed, and he still insisted on taking away the goods.  Sent to the ground." Zheng Kui laughed boldly, showing his strength and inspiring the juniors around him.

    Tie Heng chatted with him for a while, listening to him tell about the thrilling experiences of his youth. Everyone around him also listened obediently. These boys had probably heard Zheng Kui talk about these experiences a long time ago, but at least on the surface they looked  They are all focused.

    Seeing that Zheng Kui said he was also a little thirsty, Tie Heng looked at the tea in the big kettle on the table nearby and saw that the tea was cold, so he poured two bowls of it.  One bowl was handed to Zheng Kui, and he picked up the other bowl and drank it all.

    "Hello!" Tie Heng drank the herbal tea in the bowl and exhaled happily, and the people around him felt a slight chill.

    Zheng Kui raised his eyelids and showed aThere was a moment of hesitation, then he brought the tea bowl to his mouth and took a sip.

    "Ha, this tea tastes so good!" Zheng Kui's eyes widened as soon as he took the tea in his mouth. When he swallowed it, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with the tea. Instead, it was very refreshing. He couldn't help but slap the table and exclaimed softly.

    Following his example, Tie Heng drank every drop of the bowl of herbal tea, exhaled a long, cool breath, wiped the beard around his lips and praised repeatedly: "This herbal tea is really extraordinary, I have never tasted this before."  It has a unique taste, with a hint of bitterness and a peculiar sweetness, and it is as refreshing as if it has been chilled. It is refreshing to the bones and refreshing to the heart and spleen. Drinking it in this hot weather is really soothing."

    "Brother Zheng, if you like it, just drink more!" Tie Heng poured him another bowl. Zheng Kui was not polite and drank it all in one gulp.

    "It's so refreshing. No wonder I gulped it down like a drink. It just tastes so refreshing." Zheng Kui seemed to have forgotten the burning pain in his knees and shouted loudly.

    "Yes, that's the truth." Tie Heng nodded in response, and when he turned his eyes, he saw everyone staring directly at the big kettle on the table, and a few greedy boys were already swallowing their saliva there.  The thought couldn't be more obvious.

    Tie Heng took a clean tea bowl, filled it up, and then pushed the big kettle to the center of the table, indicating to everyone that they could drink it themselves.  The group of boys immediately gathered around and competed for the tea bowl.  Rush to fill it up for yourself.

    "Ms. Gao, you are tired too. Take a rest and drink some tea!" Tie Heng handed the teacup he had just poured into Colgate's hands.

    "Ah!" Colgate was about to scold those competing companions.  I didn't expect Tie Heng to do this. Looking at his gentle and peaceful smile, my heart skipped a beat and my face became hot.

    "Thank you, thank you" She took the tea bowl with some confusion. Under Tie Heng's gaze, she did not dare to look across the way, so she had to hide in panic.  In the end, it was through the act of drinking tea that I calmed down the panic a little.

    Tie Heng found it a bit funny, secretly thinking that this girl was quite simple in this regard.  He didn't think much about it.  Just now it was just a habitual consideration for girls.  But in the eyes of caring people, the meaning of this is very different.

    Wu Er was very vigilant. As soon as he saw the scene here, he came over and stared at Tie Heng.  But that little Zhuzhu, with his quick hands and feet, actually poured him two bowls of tea first, holding one bowl in one hand and bringing it back carefully. He was about to present the treasure to his cousin, but he saw that his cousin had already drank it.  He pouted childishly, but Wu Er snatched a bowl away, which made him even more dissatisfied, but he knew he couldn't compete with the older Wu Er.  I had no choice but to drink tea in a depressed manner and think about it in my heart.

    Tie Heng ignored Wu Er¡¯s angry look and sat next to Zheng Kui.  Keep chatting with him.

    A bowl of Colgate herbal tea is put into the stomach, and the cooling feeling spreads throughout the body.  A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out from his skin, and the heat was gone.  The spirit is lifted.  She was a little tired from all the busy work just now, and the weather was hot, making people prone to sleepiness, but she felt refreshed at this time.  Looking at the other companions around him, amidst the shouts and admirations, his listless appearance has changed a lot.

    "This man is telling the truth. The herbal tea he prepared is more effective than those refreshing medicines. It has no side effects, is not so difficult to drink, and tastes delicious" Colgate subconsciously thought of this.  Licking his lips, this action was noticed by Wu Er next to him. His mouth suddenly became dry and he drank the bowl of herbal tea in his hand in one go.  He licked his lips twice and said nothing, but he admitted in his heart that this herbal tea was perfect as a drink to relieve the heat.

    "It's a pity that I didn't see how he prepared this herbal tea just now. If I could get the formula, I might be able to make a lot of money" This guy has a lot of business acumen, and he immediately started thinking about it.

    Colgate comforted Xiaozhu, who felt wronged, and scolded the noisy boys, asking them to drink tea quietly and not disturb others.  Wu Daze led a few people back to continue taking care of the livestock and goods, and the room quickly became quiet again.

    Time passed quietly, and the one-hour application time was up. Colgate loosened the cloth strap on Zheng Kui's knees, peeled off the two dried sycamore leaves, and fetched water to clean the remaining ointment.

    Zheng Kui moved his legs, with unconcealable ecstasy on his face. He put his hands hard on the table, stood up, and walked a few steps. Except for the slightly stiff movements of his legs, the rest of the  I can't see anything unusual.  Seeing Zheng Kui's appearance, Colgate and others were also very happy.

    "Brother Zhuo, I'm so lucky to have met you!" Zheng Kui grabbed Tie Heng's shoulders, his gratitude beyond words.  ??The mountain road has been difficult to walk these past few days, and the old disease in my legs has become severe. If I want to move, I have to rely on my internal strength to support it, otherwise I can't move my legs.  It's better now. Once these two ointments are applied, I have strength in my legs again.  "

    "Oh!" Tie Heng felt a little surprised. The ointment was more effective than he expected.  "Brother, if you want to cure your old problem, it won't be cured overnight. The effect of applying the medicine for the first time is obviously not a bad thing, but you can't think that just two or three times will be enough. In the future, internal and external application must be combined with massage, and it cannot be interrupted.  You must strictly abide by my instructions and complete the work on time and in quantity.¡±

    "Yes, yes, I understand." Zheng Kui patted Tie Heng's shoulders on both sides and responded to his reminder with a smile.

    After laughing, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said seriously: "Brother Zhuo, I am so lucky to meet you today Oh, I am really ashamed to say that, brother, I don't even know how to repay you"

    "Brother, you don't have to be like this." Tie Heng waved his hand, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Brother Zheng is probably very familiar with all the trading houses in Haizhou. If it is convenient, why not help me introduce a few companies?  So that I can sell the medicinal materials on hand at a good price."

    "No problem. It's a small matter, brother, I'm sure you won't suffer." Zheng Kui clapped his hand.  His eyelids blinked twice, and a new idea popped up.  "Brother Zhuo. If you go to Haizhou, you must not miss Ninghai City. As the capital of King Ning, it is the most prosperous and the medicinal materials can be sold at the highest price. Brother, I just want to go there. Otherwise,  We go together and arrive at Ninghai City. I will personally take you to visit a few acquaintances in the business world. It will be very beneficial for you to continue to trade medicinal materials in the future, or if you plan to buy a residence in Ninghai City to live in, they can also  Very helpful.¡±

    Zheng Kui¡¯s words were probing, and his eyes were fixed on Tie Heng¡¯s face, observing his words and expressions to see how Tie Heng would react.

    But Tie Heng¡¯s performance was very bland and his answers were ambiguous.  "I really want to be able to accompany you all the way, so I will trouble Brother Zheng. Hey. In fact, I really want to develop in Haizhou, but I don't have enough money at the moment. I will make a decision based on the situation.  !¡±

    "Look at what you said, brother, it should be. It should be. No one of us should be polite to anyone." Zheng Kui stroked his beard and smiled.  But she was still a little worried about Tie Heng's identity, and she didn't let down her guard just because his ointment had a miraculous effect on her old illness.

    Colgate on the other side came over to salute and thank Tie Heng.  Following her lead, the other boys also expressed their gratitude.  They despised and rejected Tie Heng from the beginning.  Now I am completely convinced and grateful, and the transformation has been huge and rapid.  Even they themselves didn't notice it.

    "Uncle, look at this time, it's almost evening. We have to stay here for the night today." Seeing Tie Heng surrounded by his companions talking to each other, Colgate took the opportunity to return to Zheng Kui's house.  Beside him, he whispered.

    "Yeah." Zheng Kui responded. He looked at the sky outside the house. The scorching sun had already set in the west, and the sunset gradually appeared on the horizon. The joy in his heart somewhat dimmed.  Due to my old illness, I was delayed for almost an afternoon. The terrain to the east of the pass gradually leveled off, and the mountain road was much easier to walk. If I set off in the afternoon and camped at night, I could travel more than ten miles at least. Then tomorrow  You can get out of this mountainous area, and you can almost reach the nearest city the day after tomorrow.  But now such a delay has wasted a lot of time. You must know that the recent period is the most critical period for their business. The purpose of Zheng Kui's trip is to solve the shortage of funds in the business so that he can purchase Qishan Barbarians as soon as possible.  The necessary goods are transported to the southern barbarian land in exchange for rare medicinal materials there.

    Colgate saw Zheng Kui's self-blame. She put her arm around Zheng Kui's arm, shook it coquettishly twice, and gave silent advice.  Her action immediately caused Zheng Kui to smile and nodded in relief.

    "Brother Zhuo will go on the road with us tomorrow. You go and rent a room for him. We will pay for the feed for the mules and horses, as well as the cost of board and lodging." Zheng Kui ordered in a low voice.

    "Well, uncle, I understand." Colgate nodded, then walked out of the compartment, called the store clerk, and arranged the night's accommodation.  At this time, most of the caravan travelers who took a break at noon had left, so there were many empty compartments, enough for them to spend the night.

    "Hey, what the hell are they doing? They've delayed it until now." In the compartment that originally belonged to Tie Heng, the three villains did not leave. They drank and ate meat while paying attention to Zheng Kui's team.  There was no movement, but the other party was still nowhere to be seen. The third child, who had the most irritable temper, had long been impatient with waiting, and could not help but curse at this moment.

    "It looks like they are going to spend the night here." The second brother was relatively calm. He saw Colgate talking to the store clerk, and moving the temporarily piled sacks to the newly rented compartment with Wu Da and others.I have to change my plan here.

    "That's good. We have one night, and the boss can be more prepared." The eldest of the three narrowed his eyes with cold light, turned to the second one and said, "Second brother, please excuse me."  You go to Chief Chen and report the situation here."

    "Okay, leave it to me!" The second brother drank the strong wine in his bowl, stood up and walked towards the stable. He calmly took out his mount, got on the horse and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

    "Haha, brother, look at that kid." There were only two people left in the compartment, and the third one was chewing a leg of lamb. When he saw Tie Heng opposite, he didn't leave, but stayed with Zheng Kui's team.  When he came down, he pointed with the bones in his hands and said with a ferocious smile: "How do you say that Yes, he will not take the road to heaven, and there will be no door to hell. That kid actually got mixed up with them.  It seems that we will go on the road together tomorrow, hehe, this is what fate wants him to do, and when the time comes, I will take his life."

    "Silence, stop saying a few words and go eat your wine." The boss frowned and scolded him in a low voice.

    The third child shrank his neck and shut his mouth honestly, but the ferocious light in his eyes did not diminish at all, and he stared at the eldest brother sinisterly. He didn't know what was going on in his mind, but he was secretly grinding his teeth there.

    Tie Heng, who was in the opposite cubicle, glanced towards them covertly. His senses were so keen that he had long noticed that the three villains had been paying attention to this side. At this time, they were pointing at him. Look at their expressions.  At first glance, it seems that he has no good intentions.

    Tie Heng¡¯s face remained calm, but underneath he was sneering. A cold light flashed across his eyes, as sharp as a blade.

    In the other two compartments, the suspected spies from Haizhou and the five imperial spies stood up and prepared to leave. Tie Heng's eyes quietly turned to the woman whose beautiful face was ruined by facial scars.  His eyes were a little complicated, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

    "She has changed a lot in two years!" Tie Heng lamented the power of time. The once beautiful sorceress was now like a cold-blooded and ruthless machine.

    "Li Qian!" Tie Heng knew this woman and witnessed her tragic experience that year. He also knew that this woman later insisted on joining the magician group of the Yuezhou camp and participated in several fierce battles. However, Tie Heng did not expect that she would be there.  Meet her here and now.

    "It seems that that experience changed her temperament drastically" Tie Heng looked at the artificial crystal eye on the left side of Li Qian's face that exuded cold inorganic light, and the right eye without any emotion.  , the whole person does not look like a living being, but a human form made of swords and ice. It exudes a depressing, gloomy, and destructive atmosphere from the inside to the outside, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Even she  The four companions also clearly showed their rejection of her and stayed away from her as much as possible.

    Tie Heng¡¯s gaze was so hidden that Li Qian didn¡¯t notice it, but she still glanced at Tie Heng before leaving the dormitory. Her intuition told her that something was wrong.  Her left eye flashes with spiritual light. This artificial eye is a magic weapon that can enhance her perception of the aura of heaven and earth, and also has the ability to break illusions.  Unfortunately, the shape-changing veil used by Tie Heng was high-end among the magical weapons used for disguise, and Li Qian was unable to see through his true identity.

    There was no emotion in her cold pupils. Li Qian stopped flashing her artificial eyes and turned away expressionlessly. Tie Heng looked at her lonely back and sighed again (To be continued)
