The bright starry sky shines with indescribable beauty, in this world full of mystery, there are too many unknown existences, people can't help but reverie, who knows if there is really a special existence above the nine heavens, and what kind of world will it be?

Under the starry sky, a young man sat quietly on the edge of a pond, bowing his head and saying nothing, from time to time he used his feet to stir up a circle of ripples on the calm water surface like a mirror, disturbing the brightness of the bright moonlight on the water surface, the ripples reflected the whole pond from time to time with fragmentary light, and inadvertently crossed the young man's face, a closer look, the young man's face was a little coppery, and the skin did not seem to be as delicate and smooth as his peers, but a little rough, and several lines were faintly visible, as if they were the marks of the scars left.

I saw that the young man raised his head slightly, and his eyes looked towards a mountain far away, the mountain was not high, only a few dozen zhang, but it was very wide, and the whole mountain range spread, enclosing a semi-circular circle, and the town behind the young man was accompanied by this mountain. The town was quiet at night, with only a few flickering lights that seemed to sway with the evening breeze.

Speaking of this mountain, there was once such a legend, and I don't know if it is true or not, people say that there is a god in the sky, once inadvertently saw a young woman in the land below, thin eyebrows frowned, skin like snow, under a peach tree with the flying petals danced, the god stared blankly, as if intoxicated, every day to look at it, gradually he fell in love with this woman, and every day he felt the happiest time was to watch her dance with flowers, but soon after, He never saw this woman again, and his thoughts urged him to go down to the earth, and after turning into an ordinary man, he asked the people next to the peach blossom tree about this woman, but what he never thought of was that this woman had died of illness not long ago, and was buried under this peach blossom tree, and the god was extremely sad, so he turned into a mountain, guarding this peach blossom tree day and night, and then this mountain became Luoxing Mountain in people's mouths, and the foot of the mountain gradually became prosperous, forming a small town, called "Luoxing Town".

The boy still looked at the mountain, and gradually, he was stupid, until there was a shout from the entrance of the town, and then he got up, shook off the water stains on his feet, put on shoes wrapped in animal skins, and turned around and ran into the town.

"You kid is just playful, and you won't come home so late!" An old man with a three- or four-foot peach stick stood at the entrance of the town, looked at the young man who ran over, and said with a little vicissitudes.

"Grandpa, I'm just a little bored, just go out for a walk." The young man hurriedly ran to the old man's side and helped his grandfather, whose temples were already gray.

"You kid, I really can't do anything about you, I don't know how to follow me at home to learn some medical skills, and I know how to go out." The old man put down the hand of the young man holding his left arm, and said, "No need to help, your grandfather and I are not yet that age, we can still walk, and it is getting late, so go home quickly!" I'll have to dispose of those herbs when I have time. ā€

The boy touched his head and muttered slightly, "Okay, okay, I know!" Tomorrow there will be a lot of patients. ā€

"Well, there have been more villagers suffering from typhoid fever recently, so you need to get more atractylodes, coptis and forsythia, and you can go and pick some early tomorrow morning!" The old man said earnestly, coughing, his silver-white sideburns rising in the breeze. The old man turned and walked toward the house by a stream on the west side of the town, leaving behind the heavy sound of crutches on the ground. The young man shrugged his shoulders, and seemed to be a little helpless, and hurriedly followed.

The town at night seems to be particularly quiet, the quiet moonlight spreads on this land like water, and the sparkling pond seems to be a lot quieter at the moment, the sassy evening breeze blows through the peach blossom trees next to the pond from time to time, the petals are flying, and there is a gentle singing song from nowhere, the falling star mountain in the middle of the night is particularly silent under this bright starlight, only occasionally you can vaguely hear the sound of the "fluttering" bird wings, and then gradually disappear in the deep forest.

The old man walked to the front of the house, paused, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the bamboo fence in the courtyard, looked at the lights still flickering in the house, and looked at the Luoxing Mountain not far away, and after a little contemplation, he said: "Feng'er, the night is also deep, rest early!" Then he stepped into the threshold of the room, which was not very large, but because there was only one table, a few benches, and two wooden beds with straw mats, so it was not crowded, but neat, and the old man leaned his cane lightly against the square table with the oil lamp, and went to the plank bed beside the wall of green mud, and turned and lay down.

"Oh!" This is the old man called Feng'er in the old man's mouth, surnamed Ye Mingfeng, he gently closed the door, blew out the candle and turned around and walked towards the other bed, took off his shoes and lay down, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, on the side of his head, he was still staring at the bright moonlight outside the window, still staring at it stupidly, maybe until his eyes were a little sore.

The night is still so deep......

"Clucking...... "Clucking" several high-pitched and long rooster crows quietly sounded when the sun showed its head.

It was a cool breeze blowing in the morning, with a little humidity and cold.

The sun in the distant sky gradually poked its head out, and thousands of rays of light sprinkled on the sky and earth, illuminating the world. In the ordinary world, people smell the chickens, smoke curls, and in the town of Luoxing, which has been quiet all night, the crisp birdsong chirps begin to sound, welcoming this new day.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the window, the whole room seems to light up all of a sudden, with a bit of a lazy atmosphere. Ye Feng opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, stretched his waist, put on his single clothes, walked to the window, and pushed hard, the window suddenly popped out, and a fresh and slightly moist wind instantly blew on his face, which made people feel a sense of satisfaction.

Pushing open the door, it was Grandpa in the yard playing with the forsythia that Ye Feng picked on the mountain yesterday, after a little contemplation, he turned around and lifted the wooden basket against the wall, threw a few iron tools into the basket, turned around and said to Grandpa: "Grandpa, I'm going to collect medicine!" ā€

"Well, Feng'er, come back early when you've picked enough!" Grandpa spread out the last clump of licorice, shook off the still wet soil, and said.

"Got it!" Ye Feng replied. Then he looked at the Falling Star Mountain not far away, exhaled, and walked towards the mountain.

One side of the water and soil to support one side of the people, the town at the foot of this mountain is built by relying on this mountain, not so much a small town, in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a village, but there are a few more small markets than the village, fiddling with the medicinal materials and some daily necessities that people have picked from the mountain, Ye Feng passed through the market that had just opened in the morning, and said hello to many people during the period, and set foot on this dozens of zhang high Luoxing Mountain.

Looking up, the green and verdant mountains are covered with vegetation, even the moss under the feet seems to be able to squeeze out water, the vigorous and straight tree trunks stand on the mountain, the thick pine needles are piled up, and the trees are also covered with several layers of green, and the sudden bursts of coolness are even more refreshing, and I can't help but want to take a few more breaths of this fresh air greedily. There are still a few clear springs gurgling out of the mountain stream, if outsiders see it, they must sigh that there is such a beautiful situation in the world, but looking at these, Ye Feng's did not show too much please, but pondered, he naturally thought about where to pick medicine yesterday, and where to pick today, how much to pick, everything was in his mind for a while, and he stepped towards the path of the mountain towards the north.

There are still patches of green on both sides of the path, and from time to time a little squirrel runs out, clawing a pine ball, looking at Ye Feng, who has stepped into the green forest, his eyes are purring, and then he turns around and jumps away, hiding under the pine tree.

Ye Feng quickened his pace, and in the woods, he was quite like an ape, quickly dodging the trees in front of him, and constantly disappearing into the dense shade, leaving only bursts of sound.

Ye Feng is also fourteen years old this year, but he has been collecting medicine for a long time, and his body seems to be stronger than his peers, and now he is almost a head taller than his grandfather, and the scars on his body have also been scratched by thorns over the years. Before he was ten years old, he was with his grandfather Ye Yun, and now he is alone, Ye Feng has long been familiar with the medicinal materials on this Luoxing Mountain, and he can name most of the plants, this mountain seems to have become his second home, shuttling in this forest, his heart is even more indescribably comfortable.

About a quarter of a quarter of a minute, Ye Feng appeared on a small valley, here all around are quite high, look carefully, there is a small valley below, there are quite a lot of weeds on the four walls of the valley, but there is a large number of plants, the leaf base wanders, hard paper, ovate like a triangle, three full lobes, the central lobes are ovate diamond-shaped, pinnate deep lobes, the edges are sharply serrate, and the lateral lobes are unequal to deep fissures; The petioles are two to four inches long, growing slowly in the cool, damp and shady forests of this valley, and from time to time they are hidden in a faint mist.

Seeing that there were so many Coptis chinensis growing here, Ye Feng couldn't seem to hide the joy on his face, it was obvious that this Coptis had not been picked yet, so many Coptis chinensis was enough for several months. After thinking about it, Ye Feng jumped into this small valley that was a little deep, took out the small spade in the back basket, and began to pick these coptis, about half an hour later, Ye Feng's back basket was also seven or eight points full, he got up, patted the soil between the strands, and looked at the slope where there were only many seedlings left, this is a rule, the medicine pickers in the mountains know that even if they encounter the medicine bushes, they cannot all be picked, and the seedlings must be left, so that after a few years, the medicine will grow again, this is the rule on this Falling Star Mountain, and no one has ever dared to violate it.

Saying that, just as Ye Feng turned around and was about to climb up the valley, but just as he jumped forward, a white light flashed from his right eye and fell to the bottom of the valley.

Ye Feng naturally didn't be afraid in his heart, although he hadn't seen this kind of thing before, but this thing seemed to be something bad, the closer he got to this light, the more curious he was in his heart, when he was still about three feet away from that light, he stopped, looked at it seriously, scratched his head again, and became more and more puzzled.

The soft light flickered on and flickered, reflecting on Ye Feng's face showing a strange feeling, through Ye Feng's eyes, he could clearly see that the light cluster was constantly flickering, the frequency was getting faster and faster, and finally after a burst of strong light flashed, the light gradually dissipated, Ye Feng also put down the hand covering his eyes, the things in the light group couldn't help but surprise him, looking closely at it was actually a white mouse, but there was a white tail, and the thin fluff on the tail swayed slightly with the mountain wind, making people want to go up and stroke gently, Ye Feng was very surprised when he looked at this strange thing, although there were many medicinal herbs and various rare materials growing on this Falling Star Mountain all year round, but he had not seen this kind of animal for so many years, even when he was with his grandfather, he had never heard of it, and this little thing in front of him was so real in front of him, Ye Feng quickly wiped his eyes and opened his eyes again, but the surrounding scenery did not change at all, and the thing that looked like a mouse and a fox was still the same as before, Ye Feng looked at it carefully, and found that this animal had one more tail than a white mouse, There seems to be nothing peculiar in other places, but the mouth doesn't seem to know what is in it, and a rhizome is faintly exposed outside the corner of the mouth, the outer part of the rhizome is a lotus-like flower, but it is much smaller than the lotus, and the petals are also a few more pale yellow and give people a different kind of crystal clear feeling, there are no extra leaves at the lower end of the petals, and the rhizome is self-contained, and the whole look seems to be like a strange thing in the world, holy, white.

Ye Feng couldn't help scratching his head, all this looked so illusory but so real, looking at the soft light that was still emitting from the white mouse fox, Ye Feng stretched out his right arm, leaned forward, and stroked the warm hair, and his heart, which was originally a little pounding, gradually calmed down.

But this calm didn't last long, a noise broke the silence, and the white mouse fox under Ye Feng's fingertips suddenly opened his eyes under his forehead at this moment, the color was red, and what came from those eyes was hideous and fearful!
