Chapter 9 Medicine Spirit Valley Down
The Valley of Medicine Spirit, as it is not difficult to know from its name, is located in a valley. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info surrounded by lush mountains and forests, the aura is compelling, but it is a good cave blessed land.
Standing on the slope of the valley and looking down, Zhanbai also had to secretly admire.
Whether it is the aura or the location of this place, it is much better than his sword Liantian. But it was precisely because of this that he was a little confused.
Along the way, through side knocks, Zhan Bai learned from Nie Ningshuang's mouth that the power of this Medicine Spirit Valley was only medium to low, and because the sect focused on alchemy, the combat power was actually not strong.
In that case, why didn't anyone snatch this piece of land?
You must know that this medicine spirit valley is not only aura-impressive, but the surrounding mountains are also full of all kinds of valuable medicinal herbs, which are enough to make any medium-sized force tempted.
But in fact, this Medicine Spirit Valley has been developing peacefully for hundreds of years, and has never attracted any foreign enemies.
Zhan Bai also had some guesses about the hidden secrets, but he didn't dare to be sure.
There are only 5,000 formal disciples in the entire Medicine Spirit Valley, but there are nearly 30,000 medicine slaves, the so-called medicine slaves are mainly people who cultivate to low talent and are not high, their status is very low, any formal disciple can call them to drink, and the daily work is mainly to take care of the medicine field and assist the formal disciples to do some sundries.
For example, Nie Ningshuang, as an official disciple of Medicine Spirit Valley, she has six medicine slaves to drive.
Let's say that Nie Ningshuang took Zhanbai all the way down the mountain, and soon arrived outside the mountain gate of Yaoling Valley.
The mountain gate of Yaoling Valley is extremely simple, even simple, it is a wooden frame built by a grass hut, and there is a plaque hanging on it that is very old, with the words "Yaoling Valley" written on it.
As for the outside of the mountain gate, there are not even disciples guarding it.
"Sister, there is not even a door here, and there is no gatekeeper, aren't you afraid that bad people will go in and steal things?" Zhan Bai took the opportunity to ask.
"Hehe, we are a place to treat diseases and save people, and I don't know how many Xuan Xiu cultivators come here every day to ask for elixirs within a radius of thousands of miles. With this kindness, if anyone really dares to do evil to us, I am afraid that it will already provoke the anger of the public. Nie Ningshuang explained, "And it's not that our Medicine Spirit Valley is defenseless, it's just loose on the outside and tight on the inside." ”
Oh, I see.
Thinking about it, it is also relieved, the alchemy skills of this Medicine Spirit Valley should be good, plus he does more good deeds and does not get involved in disputes, he must have made friends with a lot of forces outside, so who would dare to fight the idea here, unless he wants to become a public enemy. And once someone does this, it is bound to be used as an excuse by other forces to attack him, destroy or expel him, and then forcibly occupy his territory.
What a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, it seems that this Medicine Spirit Valley is not a simple character who is directly in charge of alchemy.
Zhanbai can be sure that there must be a master in this.
It was precisely because of this thought that Zhan Bai became more and more interested in Medicine Spirit Valley.
Nie Ningshuang led Zhanbai into the valley, along the way, showing the idyllic scenery, from time to time encountered some brightly dressed disciples stopping in the field, pointing at some plainly dressed old farmers, or hoeing to repel insects, or picking herbs.
"Xiaobai, see clearly, those brightly dressed commanders are basically disciples of the sect. As for those old peasants, they are dressed as medicine slaves. Along the way, Nie Ningshuang explained to Zhanbai from time to time, and it could be seen that she seemed to be a little disappreciative of the sect's arrogant behavior.
"Well, I remember. Sister, where are we going now? Zhan Bai looked at the huge valley, and there were a lot of thatched huts sandwiched between the fields and ravines, and the roads were well developed in all directions, if you were not familiar with it, it was easy to get lost.
"I'll take you home first and rest for the day. Tomorrow, my sister will take you to see the master. As long as the master nods and agrees, you can become an official disciple. Although Nie Ningshuang said it easily, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart.
This time, bringing Zhanbai back, although she was bent on leaving her younger brother in the sect, in fact, she was only a disciple after all, and this kind of thing was not up to her.
Although Shizun attaches great importance to himself, his personality is quite old-fashioned, and I don't know if he can look at Zhanbai as an old man, especially his younger brother's lively temperament......
Thinking of this, a touch of sorrow hit his heart, making Nie Ningshuang's willow eyebrows frown slightly.
Nie Ningshuang thought she was hiding it well, but she didn't know how the sorrow that flashed on her face could escape Zhanbai's eyes, but she didn't reveal it.
The two of them walked for a few more miles, and they didn't know how many turns, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard surrounded by endless medicine fields.
The courtyard is not large, and the structure is a bit like a courtyard house, with a row of thatched huts on three sides except for the gate.
Squeak!
Nie Ningshuang personally pushed open the wooden door that had just reached her chest, and at a glance, the small courtyard was already in full view.
There was almost nothing in the courtyard, but the ground was covered with dried herbs, and the medicinal fragrance emitted permeated the entire courtyard, and there were three people in simple clothes, squatting on the ground, carefully picking up herbs, and their identity should be medicine slaves.
When the three medicine slaves heard the sound of the gate, they immediately raised their heads, and when they saw Nie Ningshuang, they couldn't help but show surprise, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Miss Nie, you're back." Three medicine slaves, one man and two women, the man should not be very old, and he is still old, but his appearance is extremely old, covered with traces left by the wind and sun, and he is alive and well from an old farmer in the countryside. On the other hand, the two women were only thirteen or fourteen years old.
It was the middle-aged man who spoke first.
"Uncle Chen, how many times have I told you, you don't have to see the outside like this." Nie Ningshuang was obviously not as high as a formal disciple, and replied in a warm voice.
"That's not going to work. Although Miss Nie didn't treat us as medicine slaves, her identity was there, and the ceremony couldn't be abolished. "The middle-aged man surnamed Chen is very loyal and kind.
"That's it, so be it." Nie Ningshuang knew this person's temperament very well, and he didn't force it too much, pulled Zhanbai behind him, and introduced with a smile, "Uncle Chen, this is my younger brother, Xiaobai." You may be staying with us for a few days in the near future, so I would like you to take care of it then. ”
"Xiaobai, this is Uncle Chen. These two are Uncle Chen's daughters, the older one is called Yun'er, and the younger one is called Que'er, and in the future, you will have to call your sister. ”
Nie Ningshuang made an introduction to several people in a few simple words.
Zhanbai changed his naughtiness in the past, and shouted "Uncle Chen" and "sister" to the old farmer and the two girls very well-behaved.
"Little boy, this can't be helped." Uncle Chen is nearly sixty years old, and with many years of life experience, it is not difficult to guess from Nie Ningshuang's attitude that he must have an extremely close relationship with this child, how dare he rely on the old and sell the old, and hurriedly said worriedly.
"Okay, Uncle Chen, we will be a family in the future, if we are so polite again, we will not be restrained to death." Nie Ningshuang comforted Uncle Chen, suddenly frowned slightly, and changed the topic, "What about Liu San and the three of them?" ”
"This ......" Uncle Chen was stunned, and he stopped talking, but finally did not speak.
"Hmph, these three cheaters." Nie Ningshuang had obviously guessed the result a long time ago, and couldn't help but grit her teeth with hatred, but then she turned into a sigh.
Those three people were called her medicine slaves, but what was actually going on, Nie Ningshuang knew it, and when she thought of that person's identity, she could only turn into a sigh in the end.
"Sister, is that Liu San you talking about bullying you? Do you want me to vent your anger? Zhan Bai observed the words and looks, and guessed a few points, and immediately patted his little chest and swore an oath.
"Poof!" Looking at Zhanbai's appearance as a little adult, the haze in Nie Ningshuang's heart suddenly dissipated, and he reached out and scraped Zhanbai's nose coquettishly, "As far as your three-legged cat's kung fu is concerned, it's still far away." If you want to stand out for your sister, after entering the sect in the future, you have to work hard to cultivate. ”
Zhan Bai nodded heavily, just now he was just talking, just to make Nie Ningshuang smile, along the way, how could he not see that even if the Medicine Spirit Valley is a medicine slave, it is all Xuan Xiu, but the talent is very poor, and it is difficult to refine the cultivation.
With the ordinary boy he played, if he can easily teach the medicine slave a lesson, it would not be suspicious.
"Let's go, little naughty, my sister will arrange a place for you to live."
……
The courtyard is not big, but after all, it is a courtyard, and the rooms are still free, except for the rooms of the six medicine slaves under Nie Ningshuang, there are still a few empty rooms, and in the end, Zhan Bai chose the room next to Nie Ningshuang's boudoir.
The Chen sisters were very industrious, and after a while they cleaned it up and laid out the bedding.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and after the five of them had dinner, Nie Ningshuang coaxed Zhanbai into the bed, and then left in a hurry. Seeing her eagerness, I am afraid that she is running for Zhanbai to enter the sect.
Seeing Nie Ningshuang walking out of the courtyard gate, Zhanbai felt the slightest sleepiness, he was now rejuvenated and became a child of seven or eight years old, but his real cultivation did not decrease at all, but because of entering the Taisu Realm, half of his feet had already stepped into the Taigu Realm.
I couldn't sleep, and there was no beauty to tease, so I was bored, and Zhan Bai took a lot of time, so he sneaked out of the yard, ready to enjoy the pastoral scenery of Yaoling Valley.
