Chapter 0331 - Looking for the Ephemian Trace
chose Xu Dashan to guard the mountain for himself, because Su Tao ate his heart, as a person who can be regarded as a madman for more than ten years, his secret about this mountain has reached the point of paranoia, telling him that there is a silver bed under the mountain, which will make his heart unbalanced, and the treasure will become someone else's bag, and normal people will go crazy.

If he has been running on the mountains for more than ten years and does not know the whereabouts of Epiphylla, then he does not need to look for it again.
Since the epiphany has appeared, Xu Dashan will know where it will be, he doesn't tell himself, he just lies.
So Su Tao opened his heart knot and first revealed the secret of Jinji Mountain.
In fact, Su Tao has always had doubts about the silver mine in Jinji Mountain, and the medicine bag that Fan Lihua gave him before contained a medicinal herb called "honeysuckle vine". Speaking of honeysuckle vine, everyone may be unfamiliar with honeysuckle, the main ingredient of herbal tea, honeysuckle, is the bud of honeysuckle vine. Honeysuckle vine not only has good medicinal effects, but also is an indicator herb, generally in a large area of honeysuckle vine where there will be silver ore below.
Provided, of course, that it's wild. In the past few years, honeysuckle has been very popular, and now most of the honeysuckle on the market is the product of Chinese herbal medicine plantations, and wild honeysuckle vine and honeysuckle are very few on the market.
Xu Dashan was depressed, but Su Tao promised to hire himself as a forest ranger, and he was in a much better mood.
Jinji Mountain has been contracted by Su Tao, and in addition to Miaojia Village and Yinhu Village, there are also several kilometers of land. This time, Xu Dashan didn't take those trails and chose a relatively stable mountain road, Su Tao knew in his heart that this was the right thing to take him to find the epiphany.
The road is easy to walk, but it doesn't mean there is no danger. After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to a break, which was directly opposite the mountain forest opposite, and there was a turbulent water stream in the middle. There is a ropeway hanging in the middle, and it is by this ropeway to get to and fro.
"I've seen the plant you mentioned! I'm so impressed, cross this little river, and walk a little longer!" Xu Dashan said in a low voice, "However, it is dangerous to cross the river!"
"Let's go!" Su Tao glanced at the riverbed, although it was not very deep, the current was very fast, if a person fell into it, he would definitely be swept away, and the downstream was a small waterfall, and falling into it was basically equivalent to falling off a cliff.
Xu Dashan nodded, took out the long rope that had been prepared long ago, threw one to Su Tao, and then tried the toughness of the other, and then buckled it towards the cableway, and the person relied on gravity to slide along the downward cableway.
Su Tao frowned, saw Xu Dashan slide out several meters in a blink of an eye, and found that the rope was crumbling and about to break, so he hurriedly followed him, Xu Dashan was startled, his body lost his center of gravity, and instinctively reached out and grabbed the corner of the broken rope.
Just as he felt that Lord Yama was beckoning to him, Su Tao descended from the sky and grabbed his arm.
Although the rope is very thick, it is easy to have problems under friction. Now that there are two people hanging, the weight increases, and it is even more thrilling.
The mountain wind blew, which shocked Su Tao into a layer of cold sweat, although he was a master and bold, but this moment was too thrilling, just like a scene in a movie.
The cableway is not long, about two or three minutes to the other side, Su Tao held Xu Dashan in one hand, crossed the ropeway in embarrassment, fell to the ground, and instantly drained all the strength of his body, lying on the ground gasping for breath.
"I'm scared to death!" Xu Dashan subconsciously pinched the crotch of his pants, it was damp and hot, and he scared all the urine out just now.
He looked at Su Tao again, and there was a complicated look in his eyes, if it weren't for Su Tao, he was afraid that his life would be here just now.
"Thank you!" Xu Dashan got up and said curtly.
In fact, he also wanted to take a shortcut, otherwise, he would have walked a few more miles to bypass this water stream, and he didn't have to take such a big risk.
"You're welcome, if it weren't for helping me find something, you wouldn't have to take such a big risk. Su Tao glanced at the torrent that made the sound of rushing water, and he was also afraid for a while, if he hadn't reacted fast enough just now and fell into the river, he might have been able to escape with his strong physical fitness, but this Xu Dashan's life was lost here.
Xu Dashan is also a life, and it is also a great sin to indirectly owe a life.
The clouds and mist in the mountains dispersed, and the sunlight shone on the two of them, Xu Dashan grinned at Su Tao, and Su Tao also breathed a sigh of relief, after this incident, there was no previous hostility between the two, and they also knew each other.
Xu Dashan is not too bad a person, otherwise he would not have taken the lead in demonstrating how to cross the river.
Su Tao desperately wanted to save his life, Xu Dashan realized that the people in the city were not sinister and cunning, Su Tao belonged to the few enthusiastic people in the city, and secretly followed him to do things, and he should be able to have a good way out.
After resting for a few minutes, the two continued to walk forward, this side does not come often, so Xu Dashan walked very slowly, "There are more snakes and insects here, you have to be careful, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will die!"
Su Tao smiled faintly, Xu Dashan could kindly remind himself that he secretly thought about his desperate behavior just now, but it was not in vain, and said: "Don't worry, I am a doctor, and I have my own way to restrain snakes and insects!"
Xu Dashan brandished the worn-out mountain opening knife, continued to walk forward for a few steps, and suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his face was pale, and beads of sweat were on his forehead.
Su Tao quickened his pace, walked to Xu Dashan's side, followed his gaze, and gasped, a thick flower python, lying on the shiny stones, coiled into a ball, was napping, like an animal, making a "purring" sound similar to snoring.
Su Tao quickly recognized this snake, it was the python he met by chance in the mountains that day, and he used dry epiphyllum to trick it away.
"What you want, it's by that hot tub not far away. Xu Dashan said with a frightened face, "It's just the only way to go, and it was occupied by the Mountain Snake King." ”
"The King of the Mountain Serpent?" Su Tao asked in confusion.
"Well, every mountain has its king, and the king of Jinji Mountain, this flower python, has lived for hundreds of years. Xu Dashan hesitated, "Although it never attacks people, it is very dangerous, and it can swallow a green sheep in one bite!"
Su Tao saw that Xu Dashan was timid, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait here, I will meet the mountain king here in the past!"
Before Xu Dashan could react, Su Tao walked straight over, and the flower python reacted very quickly, quickly raised its head, and spit out the core towards Su Tao, making a terrible hissing sound, as if he was annoyed because Su Tao interfered with his sweet dream.
Xu Dashan, who was standing behind, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground with fright, his upper and lower teeth chattering.
Su Tao took a deep breath, took out a silver needle from the medical box, and then flew out decisively.
The "squeaky ......" flower python has lived for a hundred years and molted countless times, but Su Tao's fingers are very strong, and he actually pierced through the snake scales, and pierced half a finger at the seven-inch position, because he was frightened, he quickly wandered to the side.
The snake hits seven inches, because the heart of the snake is located there.
The anaconda is six meters long and coiled together, and it takes a lot of eyesight to hit it successfully.
So don't look at Su Tao's understatement to shoot this needle, in fact, it takes years of effort.
Xu Dashan regards the flower python as the king of the mountain, Su Tao doesn't believe this, this flower python is just because he has lived in the mountains and forests for many years, and his strength and experience are far superior to other animals. However, for a person with experience in the mountains and forests, this flower python is not invincible.
Last time, he used the trick to let the python leave, but he was afraid that it would hurt Xiao Jingjing and Shui Junzhuo, but this time he didn't have to be afraid of it, since he dared to block his way, he had to teach it a lesson and tell it that the mountain had changed owners.
"What a man of God!" Xu Dashan admired Su Tao so much at this moment.
The six-meter-long flower python, the famous mountain king of Jinji Mountain, was driven away so easily.
"How far is it?" Su Tao knew that Xu Dashan was beside him, and reached out to pull him up.
After Xu Dashan got up, he pointed not far in front of him and said, "It's over there!"
Su Tao looked at the past, and there seemed to be clouds and mist, secretly thinking that there are so many natural hot spring pools in Jinji Mountain, if it were not for the remote location, it would definitely be built into a leisure holy place by a discerning developer.
As the footsteps approached, Su Tao's mood also became nervous, if he could find epiphyllum, not only did it mean that Cao Dingjun's illness was cured, but also that there were several prescriptions that had to be used as medicine to be successfully dispensed, which was worth tens of thousands of gold.
"Found it!" Su Tao couldn't help but shout, on the edge of the hot spring pool, dotted with green granular plants, the texture is a bit like succulent, but in fact it is not the same, and in the early morning, the green particles will open and grow slender stems and leaves from the top. It sprouts once a day, in no more than an hour, and if you want to pick it, you have to wait until dawn when it grows leaves.
Epiphyllum is extremely demanding on the living environment, so it is on the verge of extinction.
"We've got to stay here for one night!" Su Tao was in a good mood.
Xu Dashan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find some dry firewood!"
After about half an hour, the Afghan army also followed. There is no mobile phone signal on the mountain, and it is difficult to find people, so you can only rely on footprints and some traces they left along the way.
He was relieved to see that Su Tao was safe and sound, and on the side of that mountain stream, he found a broken rope, and once thought that something would happen to Su Tao.
With the addition of the Afghan army, the efficiency was accelerated, and by the way, a camp was set up near the hot spring pool.
At dawn, Su Tao got up early and waited for the moment when the miracle happened, the growth of the epiphyllum exceeded the law of plant growth, and it grew to two or three meters tall within a few minutes.
