Chapter 14: Experiences in the Mountains
"Xiao Fei, tomorrow you go with me to the 100,000 Great Mountain, I need to collect some medicinal herbs. In the evening, the old man Qingfeng called Zhao Fei over and told him what he thought.
"Okay, Grandpa Wang, we'll get up and leave tomorrow morning. ”
Zhao Fei told his grandfather, third uncle and others the news in the evening, and explained it to his sister again.
The next morning, Zhao Fei and Old Man Qingfeng rode on their horses and galloped in the direction of Qinghuang Mountain.
This time, Zhao Fei took enough entanglement, although he was in a hurry all the time, but he only walked during the day, and he would stay at the inn at night to rest, and he would no longer work as hard as last time.
Four days later, they finally arrived near Qinghuang Mountain.
Zhao Fei wanted to rest for the night and go to Qinghuang Mountain after dawn, but the old man Qingfeng insisted on entering the mountain tonight.
They put their horses in the inn and took care of them, and then walked for several hours to the foot of Qinghuang Mountain, where they had last entered the mountain.
By the time they arrived at Qinghuang Mountain, it was already dark.
Suddenly, the old man became alert and quickly pulled Zhao Fei to hide deep in the grass.
Zhao Fei didn't know what was going on, and was slightly surprised.
The old man shouted at him and pointed into the distance.
Although it was night, Zhao Fei still saw a scene that shocked him.
In the distance, there were four tall and strong men, carrying a sedan chair and walking unhurriedly.
Two women with lanterns in their hands led the way. Although it was six people walking, they walked in unison, and the sound of landing was neat.
Maybe because I didn't notice this, I found Zhao Fei and the old man at all. Without squinting, they walked forward with a sedan chair.
Although it was night, the light of the lantern allowed Zhao Fei to clearly see that the sedan chair was red-topped and green-curtained.
They seemed to walk unhurriedly, but they disappeared from Zhao Fei's sight after a while.
"In the future, when you encounter this sedan chair, stay away, and you must not provoke them. Whatever they do, don't care, don't ask. ”
After a while, the old man cautiously warned Zhao Fei.
"Grandpa, are they very powerful?"
"Well, it's amazing. ”
"Are they more powerful than the lord of the castle?"
"Cut, compared to them, the city lord Duan Wuxian is like the gap between you and the city lord. ”
"Isn't it, grandpa, they're so?"
"Do you know who is sitting in the sedan chair? She is the big man of the Blue Wolf Empire, the Emperor and Queen of Yanshan. She is a woman, and the emperor is her honorific title. No one knew what her last name was or what her name was. Few people have seen her true face, because almost everyone who has seen her true face is dead. ”
"Is she murderous?"
This person is both good and evil, I can't tell whether she is a good person or a bad person, and she does things according to her own joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Even if her palanquin bearers are placed in these big cities, they are far more respected than the status of the city lord. Do you think she's scary?"
"Grandpa Wang, which of you is more powerful than you and you?"
"Don't play tricks on me, you kid, I can't tell you this for the time being. The old man looked at Zhao Fei's sly gaze and smiled faintly.
When Zhao Fei stood up and just wanted to walk out, the old man grabbed him again, and Zhao Fei looked at the old man in surprise.
"Look over there. ”
Zhao Fei looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and saw two people rushing out of the mountain, and after they rushed out of the mountain, they rushed in another direction.
"Strange, why are the two of them here?" said the old man to himself, frowning.
"Grandpa, do you know them?"
The old man shook his head and didn't speak, he pulled Zhao Fei up and walked towards the mountain.
Zhao Fei is no longer what it used to be, and when he came to Qinghuang Mountain again, his strength has exceeded that time by more than ten times.
The old man stood there and looked around, then he grabbed Zhao Fei with his right hand and took him into the air. At this time, they were at least fifty meters above the ground, and he walked into the air, and walked deep into the mountain.
Zhao Fei was shocked by the old man, the old man was able to fly in the sky, and that Grandpa Wang was at least above the fifth order of the refining realm. Thinking of this, Zhao Fei had a smile of adoration on his face.
If the old man knew Zhao Fei's thoughts at this time, he would probably slap him hard: "Is your realm so low in the eyes of this kid?"
About eighty miles into the deep mountains, the old man took Zhao Fei and landed on a big tree.
It is said that it is deep in the mountains, and if you compare it with the entire Qinghuang Mountain, this can only be regarded as the edge of the mountain.
In winter, the cold wind in the mountains in the middle of the night makes you shiver. Zhao Fei could feel the chill, but the old man didn't feel it at all.
The howls of all kinds of wild beasts in the mountains make people's pores terrifying. Snakes and rats scurried under their feet, and even the faint of heart were expected to be frightened.
Zhao Fei was not afraid, not only because his strength had increased greatly, but because he was full of confidence in the old people around him. In his eyes, Grandpa Wang is omnipotent and omniscient.
They did not stop, but continued to walk deep into the mountains. The old man looked around as he walked, he was not afraid of the beast's attack, he was looking for what he needed.
This night, the old man picked a lot of medicinal herbs, but Zhao Fei was very curious, so many medicinal herbs didn't make the package behind the old man bulge, where did he hide all the things?
Approaching dawn, the old man took Zhao Fei to rest on a big tree for a while. As soon as it was dawn, he took Zhao Fei to continue collecting medicine in the deep mountains.
"Do you think it's deep in the mountains?"
Hearing the old man's question, Zhao Fei nodded.
"This is only the edge of the mountain, and at our current pace, even if we walk inward for another three or four months, we may not be able to reach the hinterland of the mountain. ”
"Isn't it, grandpa, Qinghuang Mountain is so big?"
"Yes, so you can't imagine how big Qinghuang Mountain is, the real treasures are in the deep mountains. But no one dared to go in there, not because they were afraid of the beasts, but because the miasma inside could kill people in an instant. The fog can keep you from finding your way out. There are many masters who enter the deep mountains, but no one can get out alive. ”
"Grandpa, have you ever been in?"
"I went to the edge once, I didn't dare to go in because of the fog, and then I retreated. ”
The old man had no confidence in his eyes, and now when he talked about what happened, his face still showed a look of horror.
For four days, the old man took Zhao Fei all the way inside, and they entered the mountain for at least two hundred miles.
The further he walked in, the more frightened Zhao Fei became, and there were countless beasts he encountered. The torsos of those big snakes were as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and their bodies were more than ten meters long, which he had never seen before.
There are countless scorpions, centipedes, mountain wolves, and gophers, all of which are disgusting and scary to watch.
He understood what the old man meant, and he was training himself.
The old man taught him to know various herbs, and patiently told him about the medicinal properties, telling him how to match them to achieve better curative effects.
They stayed in the mountains for a month.
This month, Zhao Fei's harvest was huge, his strength had improved again, and he had now reached the sixth order of the Refining Realm. A sixth-order master like him could completely torture and kill a seventh-order master, because he had the strength to fight beyond the ranks.
They drank mountain spring water every day, sometimes drank the blood of wild beasts, and ate all kinds of animal meat that they did not dare to eat before.
Sometimes the old man roasted the meat and ate it, and sometimes he just let him eat it raw.
At first he was nauseous and vomited when he first started eating raw meat. But after a month, he was completely used to and adapted. The old man never stopped training him all day, and once he was injured in a melee with the beasts, but the old man stood on a tree and was indifferent. It wasn't until he was exhausted and fell to the ground as soon as possible that the old man rushed into the herd to rescue him.
That was the first time he had seen the old man make a move, and with a casual wave of his hand, the beasts flew in all directions, falling to the ground and dying.
In the past month, Zhao Fei has gained a lot of knowledge, knows hundreds of medicinal materials, is familiar with the habits of many beasts, and has become more and more experienced in combat.
All this is the result of the old man's careful cultivation, without the old man there would be no him today.
When they found Blood Lingzhi on a mountain cliff one day, the old man told him that the trial was over.
"Take a break, I'll take you out, it's time for us to go home. The old man plucked the blood lingzhi from the cliff more than twenty zhang high, and then took Zhao Fei to walk back.
It took them another ten days to get out of Qinghuang Mountain, and this time they walked at least 800 miles into the mountain.
Zhao Fei recalled the danger of more than a month, and his heart palpitated. If he walked into the mountain alone, not to mention whether he could walk so far, even if he let himself get out of it, he would not be able to find the direction.
For the first time, he had such a cognition of Qinghuang Mountain, and he also had a sense of awe for Qinghuang Mountain. After more than 40 days of training, he now knows that Qinghuang Mountain is full of treasures.
The old man drank wine every day in the mountains and ate barbecue.
Zhao Fei was curious about the old man's wine gourd, there seemed to be endless wine.
"I have to let you know something, you wonder where all the herbs I picked were placed, right?"
Zhao Fei nodded vigorously.
The old man took out a ring from his body, handed it to Zhao Fei, and taught Zhao Fei a few more spells, and when Zhao Fei followed and recited the spell, he saw a scene that shocked him.
He saw that the space in the ring was actually dozens of cubic meters, filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs and items, and dozens of wine gourds were lying quietly in the corner. It turned out that the old man had put all the medicinal herbs and items here, no wonder he hadn't seen them.
"This is the legendary storage ring. People who haven't reached a certain height, they don't know that this thing exists, let alone owns it. I just didn't tell you, I didn't give you one, just because your strength was not enough. If you have a storage ring now, it won't do you any good, but it will kill you at any time. ”
The old man's expression was very serious, and he spoke very carefully.
"Grandpa, when will I have a storage ring?"
"You have to go at least to the seventh order of the refining realm to have this thing, the realm is too low for your divine sense to reach, and you can't control the storage ring. ”
Zhao Fei understood that the old man was at least above the seventh order of the Refining Realm, because he had a storage ring very early.
He hadn't heard that there was anyone in Flame City who had the strength of refining the seventh order or above, so wouldn't Grandpa Wang be the number one master in Flame City?
Thinking of this, Zhao Fei had a bright smile on his face.
