Chapter 22: The Treasure Cave
"Big brother, then you have to hurry up, otherwise the fog here is very heavy at night, and the fog is so strange that even our people from our village may get lost when they get here. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old said.
"Oh?" Zhang Fan was shocked, it is normal for me to get lost as an outsider, how can someone from this village get lost, isn't it a joke. What's more, Zhang Fan knew that this place was only more than thirty miles away from Jiulian Village.
Looking at Zhang Fan's disbelief, fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy blurted out a sentence: "There are monsters in the fog, several people in our village have been injured by monsters, and my father has seen the monster before." It's like a monster in the form of a big man. ”
"Oh......" Zhang Fan is still suspicious, monsters? monsters don't eat people, they only hurt people? I have seen monsters, how is it possible.
"We are going up the mountain to collect medicine, do you want to go together, if we are together, we are also about to go back, we can give you a ride to Jiulian Village. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old man spoke.
Oh, they wanted me to follow them, but they didn't want to have any bad intentions, so let's follow them first.
"Okay, thank you then. Zhang Fan got up, clenched his fists, and expressed his gratitude.
The group of three began to ascend the mountain, and at the same time, the two brothers began to explain to him the situation here.
It turned out that they were apprentices in Langzhong in the village, who had been collecting medicine in the mountains since they were children, and they knew the environment here extremely well, and they could walk back even if there was fog, so they invited Zhang Fan to join them. As soon as there was an extra helper, they found a hole with a lot of herbs in it, and it was extremely precious, the two of them, that was always limited, so they called Zhang Fan also. Second, the hole is so strange that they are even a little afraid, the entrance of the cave only appears when the sunset is about to disappear, usually it is useless to go over during the day, there seems to be nothing, and at night they get lost when they go up the mountain, so they can only wait for this time period to come here to collect medicine.
Actually, there was no danger here at all, and although strange noises were always heard from the depths of the fog, I had never heard of anything going on. Hundreds of years ago, this was the case, but nothing major ever happened, but I heard that there were monsters in the fog or something, but no one had an accident, so it was gone. What should it be, or what.
After walking for half an hour, Zhang Fan finally saw the cave in the two brothers.
The hole is not big, but it is just big enough for one person to get in and out.
The two told Zhang Fan to let him wait outside for a while, and they would come out after picking the herbs, and it wouldn't take much time to come out soon.
So Zhang Fan waited alone at the entrance of the cave, he was a person who had seen the world, although his cultivation was gone, and his previous memories had disappeared, but it did not interfere with his judgment at this time.
This hole is not that simple.
If you want to say why, I don't know, it's just a feeling, the feeling of a former genius.
There is a mystery hidden in the small hole, and Zhang Fan clearly feels that the hole seems to be breathing, a spiritual breath.
"Cough, cough......" One didn't hold back, he began to absorb the aura around him, and the backlash suddenly followed. Startled him, he hurriedly ran the marrow washing meridian and scattered the spirit.
The spiritual power is so rich, this cave, he forgot the place where he used to practice, so he doesn't know what the level of spiritual power in it is.
Zhang Fan endured it, continued to absorb the urge of spiritual power, and quietly waited for the two brothers to come out.
It's a long process, and it's not as simple as previously thought. Of course, medicinal herbs can't be everywhere and people can pick them casually.
A quarter of an hour later, news came from the cave.
"Brother Zhang, can you also come in to help, the two of us are too busy. ”
"Okay, I'm in. ”
Zhang Fan squeezed into the small hole, it was so narrow, and after taking two more steps, he began to bend over. Later, he climbed down and walked forward.
This is Zhang Fan's first feeling.
In fact, if other cultivators were allowed to see such a treasure place, they would all be overjoyed, if a cave that swallowed spiritual power was to retreat in it for thirty or fifty years, wouldn't it be directly invincible all over the world after it came out?
But Zhang Fan lost his memory, and he was indifferent to such a treasure, but he just lamented the narrowness of this cave.
Finally, I saw a glimmer of light, could it be that we had reached the exit? No, there was an exit, what kind of cave.
But the next scene blinded Zhang Fan's eyes.
It is all kinds of rare herbs, although he can't name them, but he clearly feels the Tao, what exactly do these herbs contain, huge spiritual power fluctuations. It turned out that the spiritual power swallowed in this cave was absorbed by these herbs.
And it was these herbs that gave off the bright light, unconsciously Zhang Fan fought and took a step forward, it turned out that this place was relatively empty, and it was only the tip of the iceberg before, it was enough for the three of them to pick it at will, it was the size of a football field, it was simply a small world.
"......" Zhang Fan had a stunned expression.
"Haha, Brother Zhang, isn't it beautiful. The young man ran over and looked at Zhang Fan with a surprised expression.
"Brother Zhang, in fact, I want to tell you that each of us can only take out three herbs here, so Brother Zhang also asks you to help us, and my master will definitely thank you after the matter is completed." The young man spoke, as if he had been thinking for a long time.
"You mean I'll help you take the three plants out?" Zhang Fan asked.
"You don't have to have all of them, just give us one plant, and we'll pay you for bringing you here. The young man spoke.
"What?" said the young man, anxious, "we only need one, so why did we bring him here?" ”
"It's useless for me to ask for this, forget it, I'll give it all to you. Zhang Fan shook his head, he didn't need it, it should be because he couldn't practice anymore, even if he did, it was useless.
"Give us all ?......" Now the young man was embarrassed, it turned out that people didn't look down on these, "If you don't leave a plant, this herb can be sold even if you can't use it, it's so valuable." ”
"Otherwise," said the young man, "we bought the two plants you gave us, and you may keep one for yourself, and perhaps it will be of any use in the future." The young man was also embarrassed, he thought that Zhang Fan was unhappy, so he changed the conditions, and the money was exchanged with the other party.
Zhang Fan didn't know that this would happen, he didn't actually think about it, but he didn't have any use for these herbs, so he gave them all.
He was afraid that they were making some conditions, so he said embarrassedly: "Okay, that's it." ”
The boy didn't say anything, the herbs were the important ones.
Hearing this, the young man spoke again: "The herbs here are all spiritual, and there are some herbs that we can't pick at all, so we must be careful. ”
What does it mean? Zhang Fan didn't understand for a while.
Zhang Fan grabbed the largest and brightest herb beside him, and the next moment, he understood what the young man meant, and he simply pulled out this herb.
He increased his efforts to forcibly pull the herb up, but at first failed, and did not move. The herb was restored to the moment it had not touched at the beginning.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers also sighed, too, the biggest herb, how is it possible.
But in the next scene, the two brothers were stunned, and Zhang Fan changed his posture and pulled out the herb with greater strength.
You see, whether the soil is loose, whether it is coming out.
The two brothers were extremely excited at this time, it was so powerful, if this plant came out, it would be more precious than all the herbs they had thrown before.
It was said that they could take away the three herbs here, but these three were definitely the worst and worst here, so that they could pull them out, but Zhang Fan directly pulled out the biggest herb, they didn't dare to think about it! God, let no one live, since he was eight years old, the youth has been here, and he has not lost his way, and after that, he took up the work of collecting medicine in the village.
Finding the entrance to the cave here is extremely difficult, and the location of the hole varies from year to year. And even if they find it, ordinary people can't pick the herbs in the cave.
And the two brothers are different, not only can they find it every time, but they can also bring back a small amount of medicinal herbs to the village every time.
For Zhang Fan, they can say that they don't have much hope, they can pick it up, and it doesn't matter if they can't.
But Zhang Fan, who was unprecedented, actually let this largest herb leave the ground.
In the stunned eyes of the two, Zhang Fan pulled out the herb and handed it to the two of them.
"Pulled out?"
"Pulled out?"
How is this possible, every year people from the village come to the mountain to look for the hole and send the two of them here to pick herbs. They were three per person at a time, but they were the worst six here. Others found the entrance to the cave and could not get the approval of the herb, and even when they were there, the entrance would not appear.
"To you. Zhang Fan smiled lightly, not noticing their expressions at this time. I saw that their hands didn't move until they were impatient to wait, and Zhang Fan looked up at them and found that they had been stunned and kept admiring this herb.
"What's the matter, what's going on, what's going on with this herb?"
The herb, which was bigger than the palm of his hand, was placed in his hand.
"Brother, this herb is so big. "The boy's eyes lit up, and this was too shocking. In previous years, they came, how to find the youngest, but today, this guy directly pulled out the largest plant, and people are more popular than people.
But they were overjoyed to think that they were going to have two of these strains of medicine.
"Both?" said a little louder this time, otherwise they wouldn't have answered.
"Ah, yes, yes, you're lucky enough to be able to pull out the biggest herb here. The young man's face was beaming with joy.
"Still, if this is to go out to me, and if it is handed over to me here, it will still escape. ”
Escape?...... Zhang Fan was a little confused, what is this.
