Chapter 57: Purple Rock Grass (1)
Safe for the time being, Zhong Hou didn't think much about it, first took a break to recover his strength, and then slowly looked for a way out.
Just then, a belated voice rang out.
The owner of the voice is not a pig just a hyena, who else.
I only heard Zhu Gangguan say: "There is a cave about two hundred meters below you, which can be temporarily accommodated." ”
Zhong Hou still knew how to respect his teacher after all, so although he had some resentment in his heart, he didn't complain, and slowly crawled towards the cave in Zhu Gang's mouth as instructed.
What Pig Gangguan said is true, there is really a cave underneath.
The cave is only two or three meters deep and not wide, but it is definitely enough for a temporary rest.
Entering the cave, Zhong Hou seemed to have been drained of his strength, lying motionless on the ground, and fell asleep soon after.
With his current strength, he will naturally not be tired like a dog after a little rock climbing. However, firstly, he had just used the retreat technique, and all the star power in his body had been exhausted, and secondly, he had never experienced this kind of life-and-death crisis, and as soon as his mind relaxed, the whole person was not good.
When Zhong Hou woke up, it was already the second day.
The first feeling, hunger...
Looking inside the cave, there was nothing but some weeds. There is no way, and it can only be used to fill the stomach temporarily.
The weeds could only make Zhong Hou half full, but the whole person was already much more energetic, and calming down also made him think of a lot of questions.
So he asked, "Master, the apprentice was hunted down and killed before, why didn't you take action?" Didn't you say that everything was under your control? If you make a move, you won't have to run away. ”
"As a teacher, I plan to give you a chance to exercise, so that you don't go out and lose my old pig's face in the future. No, at the moment of life and death, isn't your stupid head enlightened, and you actually know how to use the escape technique. ”
Zhu Gangguan and Feng Wuxian are actually the same, both of which are to let Zhong Hou understand, recognize, and face the cruelty of this world through life and death experience, so as to improve his chances of survival in the future.
And the effect is indeed very significant, Zhong Hou has indeed grown a lot at this time, and he is no longer the ignorant teenager he was at the beginning.
However, Zhu Gangguan's words still made Zhong Hou's head full of black lines.
"What about jumping off the cliff, if it weren't for my luck, I would have fallen to my death. ”
"Asking you to jump is definitely good for you. In addition, you have a nine-tooth nail rake, as long as you are not too stupid and know how to use it, normally speaking, it will not be life-threatening. If you can die like this, then you will not fall to death, but stupid death. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Hou was even more speechless. However, when I heard that there were benefits, I suddenly looked forward to it.
It's just that when Zhong Hou looked at the bottom of the cliff again, the bottomless place still made his heart beat very uncontrollably.
"By the way, master, who is the person who is chasing me?" Zhong Hou hoped to alleviate his fear by changing the subject, and he did want to know the answer to this question.
"I heard it's from Half Moon Villa. ”
"Half Moon Villa, why are they chasing me?"
"You kid has been calculated. Do you remember the day when the man in black handed you the fragment of the treasure map?"
Hearing this, Zhong Hou suddenly fell into a memory, and only remembered something after half a ring.
The people of Half Moon Mountain Villa must have tracked the whereabouts of the treasure map fragments through special markers, and Wind Without a Trace transferred this mark to himself before he was hunted down.
It is estimated that the shadow of death that hung over his head that day is also related to this.
It's no wonder that when he handed back the treasure map fragment that day, Feng Wuxian showed a trace of entanglement, and he must have been thinking about whether to cause trouble.
Isn't he afraid that he will be killed?
But in retrospect, as a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, Feng Wuxi's behavior is nothing more than normal.
Forget it, no matter how you say it, he has the grace of giving books to himself, and isn't he fine? This time it was calculated that he would repay his kindness, and they would not owe each other anything in the future.
After figuring it out, Zhong Hou's only trace of hatred disappeared.
Zhong Hou took a deep breath and did not continue the topic just now, but cautiously walked to the edge of the cave, looked down and looked, and looked and looked.
After swallowing a mouthful of water, he asked, "What's the benefit below?"
Zhu Gang saw that Zhong Hou put things down so quickly, and he thought a little higher about his character in his heart.
However, as a master, you still have to reprimand a few words when you should reprimand: "You kid remember to keep a few more eyes in the future, otherwise you will be sold and counted for money... Don't ask, just go down and see for yourself. You're not guts, are you?"
As the saying goes, it is better to be excited, Zhu Gangguan's method of agitation really worked, Zhong Hou's temper was aroused at once, and said: "Who said I didn't dare, how could it be difficult for me to get a small cliff." ”
With Zhong Hou's current defensive strength, the bumps and bumps when he fell from the cliff couldn't hurt his fur at all, and he rested for a night and was alive again.
Just be careful, and nothing will happen.
With a loud shout, Zhong Hou emboldened himself, and then slowly began to climb down the cliff.
"Thirty meters down to the right. ”
"A little bit to the right, yes, that's it. ”
"Three meters further to the right. ”
"Then go down five meters, then twenty meters to the right. ”
"It's almost there, so go down five meters to the left. ”
The sound of the pig kept ringing, guiding Zhong Hou's direction.
Zhong Hou's downward climb is not vertical, which is undoubtedly a lot more than a straight line. However, the lines indicated by Zhu Gangguan are relatively flat, and the physical exertion is not large.
And in this way, Zhong Hou's fear of the cliff slowly disappeared.
"It's here. ”
It's here? It's on the ground, and it's still far from the ground.
Before he could figure it out, Zhu Gangguan said again: "Do you see a few purple grasses on your left hand now?" ”
Zhong Hou looked in the direction and sure enough, he saw eight purple grasses. At the same time, Zhu Gangguan also began to introduce Zhong Hou.
Purple rock grass, 10-year years are lavender, 100-year years are purple-blue, millennium years are purple-red, and 10,000-year years are dark purple.
Generally, it grows on the cliffs, and the heavier the humidity, the more conducive to the growth of purple rock grass, but it cannot see sunlight, otherwise it will wither immediately, so it is extremely difficult to preserve.
The purple rock grass in front of me is purple-red, and it is obviously more than a thousand years old.
GOOD STUFF ...
Zhong Hou was pleasantly surprised on the spot.
Heavenly treasures, no matter what the efficacy and function are, have one thing in common, that is, they contain abundant star energy. The older the year, the more Starlight content.
After all, it was born from heaven and earth, which is the inevitable result.
Originally, he couldn't eat enough to eat those unnutritious weeds in the cave, and after exercising again, Zhong Hou was already hungry. In addition, the crystal clear dew on the purple rock grass made Zhong Hou's appetite increase.
So, Zhong Hou very simply plucked all the roots and leaves of the purple rock grass, and stuffed all the dates into his mouth. Before he could taste what it was, the purple rock grass had already entered his belly.
The action was so fast that the pig had no time to stop it.
"You kid is looking for death, and you eat indiscriminately without even seeing clearly. Each purple rock grass here is at least two or three thousand years, one plant is enough for you to digest for a long time, and now you actually eat the rhizome, you must know that this rhizome is the least 10,000 years old, and it is strange that you don't die of it. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier. ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Hou already felt a turbulent torrent tumbling in his abdomen, as if the river was about to run out of embankments at any time and plunge for thousands of miles.
"Who knew you were as greedy as my old pig. Now it's not far from the bottom of the cliff, you hurry down and find a flat place to cultivate, and refine the star energy inside as soon as possible, otherwise you will die. ”
Zhong Hou couldn't hear what Zhu Gangguan was saying, and he was climbing down at the fastest speed in his life.
