Verse 355: Miasma
The woman surnamed Wang also followed the kneeling Wanfu and said goodbye to everyone, and the two of them performed their magic skills and disappeared into the mountains and forests in an instant.
Mu Sheng said: "There are a few seniors, my brother and I don't know how to stay in the mountain for a few days, so let's go to the mountain by ourselves, thank you, thank you!" said and hugged his fists and thanked the three of them.
Boss Chai was not reluctant to see it, and the three of them went up the mountain first, no longer caring about them. Seeing that several people left one after another, only Mu Sheng and himself were left, and asked, "I said, brother, where can we go now, should we follow them, or do we find something else?"
Mu Sheng said: "I don't think we're in a hurry, it's better to familiarize ourselves with the situation at the foot of the mountain before going up, anyway, in addition to picking elixir, part of the reason is to come to cultivate, right?"
"Okay, it's all up to my brother's arrangement. "Tan Taixin didn't have any opinions, and simply agreed to Mu Sheng's proposal.
The two walked around the foot of the mountain, which was nothing special compared to other places, next to the lake, with lush green trees and wild flowers.
It's just that after walking for less than half an hour, Mu Sheng's brows suddenly wrinkled. Tan Taixin asked, "What did my brother find?"
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "It's not just us on this mountain, look here." Mu Sheng pointed to a meadow.
Tan Taixin looked in the direction of Mu Sheng's finger, and saw that the grass showed traces of being stepped on, one by one, and he couldn't see any clue, Tan Taixin shook his head and said: "Brother, you let me see this, but I can't understand it, so it's better for you to say it directly." ”
Mu Sheng scolded with a smile: "You kid knows how to be lazy, if you don't look carefully, how can I teach you?"
Tan Taixin squatted down in distress, lay down next to a few bushes of trampled grass, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "This ...... I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
"You say, it's okay if you don't see it for the first time. Mu Sheng encouraged.
"That...... That ......" said in a new voice: "I look at these grasses, or dogs look at the stars brightly." ”
Mu Sheng was speechless when he heard this, so he had to explain helplessly: "You see that the tip of this grass is going up the mountain, and there are no claw marks or hoof prints on this grass, and the dirt shows that there are traces of wearing shoes, and the shoe prints are of different sizes, it seems that there should be four to five people." ”
Mu Sheng pointed to the corresponding imprint while explaining, and Taixin applauded: "Wow, you are amazing, you even know all this." ”
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart and said secretly, "These experiences are not something that I have slowly practiced by evading pursuit at that time. Thinking so in his heart, he said: "These are all things that must be known when walking alone in the rivers and lakes, so you must also study by heart." ”
Yu Taixin nodded and wrote down what Mu Sheng said seriously. The mountain is very large, the two of them walked around the foot of the mountain, walking and stopping for more than half an hour, Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin found many human footprints, and the footprints of large beasts.
The two of them saw these many traces and knew that Babaoshan was not as quiet as it seemed on the surface, and they didn't know how many dangers were hidden in it. So he became more cautious.
This Babao Mountain is indeed a treasure land, even at the foot of the mountain, there are many elixirs and spiritual materials that are not seen elsewhere. The novice of Lede Tai took the medicine hoe and dug a lot.
Mu Sheng smiled when he saw it: "Xiaoxin, I advise you to collect less elixir at the bottom of the mountain, first, the quality level is not high, and it takes up a lot of space when you come, digging like you, it won't be long before the storage bag can be filled." ”
After hearing this, he reluctantly stopped digging at the foot of the mountain, and followed Mu Sheng to climb up the mountain, and suddenly there was a fog halfway up the mountain, shrouding the mountains and forests under the mist, revealing a hazy beauty. Tan Tai Xin praised: "What a beautiful scenery. ”
Mu Sheng suddenly frowned and said: "It's almost noon, there is still fog on the mountain, I'm afraid it's not fog, it's more likely to be miasma." ”
As he spoke, he tightened the light yarn on the hat and wrapped it around his neck, which, according to the hat seller, not only prevented insects and scabs, but also prevented miasma from entering the body from the nose. After doing all this, Mu Sheng took out the gloves he bought from the storage bag and put them on, which can be regarded as a tight protection from head to toe. Although he felt troublesome, he still followed Mu Sheng to wrap himself tightly.
Even so, Mu Sheng still didn't dare to take it lightly, and performed a trick of flowing water, pulling Taixin, and choosing a place where there was no fog or a small fog to pass. At the beginning, Tan Taixin secretly said that Mu Sheng was too careful, and when he found that a hare was eroded into a pile of white bones in the mist, he knew how wise Mu Sheng's caution was.
After crossing this area of miasma, Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin couldn't help but light up in front of them, only to see a slightly flat mountain with flowers blooming, the dark fragrance floating, and the flowers were like weaving a carpet, which was very beautiful.
Yu Taixin exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Mu, look, there are so many high-grade elixirs here, you see that the red flower is the blood condensation grass, the purple flower is the spirit gathering grass, and the yellow bud that has not opened is the nightshade, right?"
Mu Sheng looked at it from a distance, nodded and said, "You are right, it is these herbs." ”
"Wow, aren't we sending it, these elixirs, although they are not too precious, are also expensive elixirs in the outside world. "Yutaixin is happy to take a hoe and dig it.
Mu Sheng frowned and said: "Xiaoxin is slow, I always feel that this flower field is a little strange." ”
Tan Taixin asked puzzledly: "Why, is it an illusion? But I also checked it with my divine sense just now, it doesn't look like it's fake!"
Mu Sheng nodded and praised, "Yes, you have become more cautious now." But sometimes, even what our consciousness sees is not necessarily true. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a dead branch from the ground, picked up his internal force and threw it over, and the branch fell steadily among the flowers, not smashing the flower crookedly or knocking it down, but just so strangely lying across the flower, as if something was holding it.
"What kind of illusion is this, why is it so realistic?" said Yu Taixin.
Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not an illusion, but a Gu technique." ”
"Gu technique, but I don't feel anything suspicious or dangerous?" asked Yu Taixin suspiciously.
"This is where Gu magic is different from illusion, we haven't been exposed to Gu magic before, so naturally we don't know the mystery, but what Boss Chai said is right, there must be a demon when things go wrong. Mu Sheng explained: "It is even more strange that so many elixirs are gathered together, which in itself is unconventional, and no one picks them, not even guardian beasts. ”
