Chapter 33: Barren Mountain
Fang Xin was unexpectedly happy to be able to get the task of picking ice cold grass, originally she had been thinking about this place since she inadvertently broke into the barren mountain last time, her sixth sense told her that the barren mountain must be extraordinary, so she was eager to find someone who knew the bottom of the matter to explore together, so she thought of Lin Ruoran. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the next few days, she deliberately borrowed hundreds of spirit stones, and flipped through the hundreds of jade slips about the back mountain in the library, unfortunately there were few descriptions of the barren mountain, and she couldn't see anything extraordinary, and it was a coincidence, at this time, her next-door neighbor Li Fen picked up a book from the market, which happened to be seen by Fang Xin and borrowed it, it was a miscellaneous book of cultivating immortals, written by a monk who had not been able to build a foundation in his life, and the book said that he was a descendant of an ancient demon god, tens of thousands of years ago, his ancestors were suppressed under a mountain, It's just because he likes a female monk who cultivates immortals, and the background of that female monk is very strong, she is a second generation of cultivators, and her parents knew about her situation, they encountered strong opposition from them, and then united with her elders to forcibly guard and not be allowed to go out, and her elders worked together to design the powerful demon cultivator to catch and lock him up, but the ridiculous thing is that the demon god was reluctant to escape, he turned out to be the most bizarre infatuation in tens of thousands of years, so the result was tragic, and the demon cultivator finally ended up depressed, The heart is dead but the body is not destroyed, so his body turned into a mountain, I heard that the mountain has no grass, the monster detoured, and a few years later it really became a barren mountain.
This is a tragic story, the fate of the demon cultivator did not get the sympathy of the cultivator, the female monk heard that the demon cultivator died, and committed suicide, which is embarrassing. Fang Xin was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then burst into laughter, and after laughing, she felt that her luck was particularly good, she guessed: That barren mountain was probably the cemetery of that demon cultivator, so she went to the Fang Market and bought a lot of talismans and pills, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
If this does not succeed, then she will be in debt for the next few years, living a frugal life.
is still the same sentence, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, for the barren mountain, Fang Xin will definitely fail and return, and she can't dig out its secrets, because her cultivation is too low and not high-grade enough.
Fang Xin didn't tell them the secret of the barren mountain, she simply said that this was the cemetery of high-ranking monks, and she said to everyone: "I made a mark in the place of the cold ice grass, ordinary monks will not find it, just east of this mountain, I will take you there." ”
Lin Ruoran and his party walked for half an hour, and when they came to the end of the east, Fang Xin stopped and said, "When you arrive, the cold ice grass is on the other side of the mountain." ”
Lin Lingling walked a few steps, stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, and saw a small piece of green grass growing unevenly on the mountainside, and each green leaf of the grass had a white spot, some large and some small, shining like stars in the sun. The cold ice grass judges the longevity of the year according to the size of the spots, such as the cold ice grass for ten years, the spots are the size of a person's fingernails, and the more the year, the bigger the spots.
Li Fen asked happily, "Senior Sister Fang, I didn't expect that we sent it this time, which is enough for us to complete this task, but how are we going to go down and pick spirit grass?" "I prepared a long rope this time," Fang Xin said as he took out a rope as thick as a ten-year-old child's wrist from the storage bag and threw it at his feet, "One of the five of us went down to pick the spirit grass, and one person observed the surrounding environment, just in case, the three of us were pulling the rope on it, who do you recommend to go down." ”
"I'll go down!" Lin Lingling was the first to raise her hand to recommend herself, Li Fen just wanted to object, but she didn't expect Fang Xin to agree, she didn't know anything about it, she knew her cousin's character too well, she was greedy for money and reckless, this time she really regretted taking her cousin out, in case her cousin had an accident, how would she explain it to her aunt.
Lin Ruoran is not a teenager after all, she can see Lin Lingling's careful thinking at a glance, and I believe that others can also see it, but the work of digging herbs is not easy to do, Fang Xin agreed, and she would not speak out against it.
Fang Xin put the rope down, Lin Lingling carried a medicine pill on her back, and slowly retreated along the rope, the speed was not fast but it was very stable, and there was no mistake, which made Li Fen calm down with her heart, and felt that although her cousin was more utilitarian, there was still merit. Lin Lingling went down halfway up the mountain and came to the place of the cold ice grass, she tied the other end of the rope to her waist, then took out the spirit hoe from the storage bag, and carefully dug up the spirit grass.
Lin Lingling was like a hard-working little bee, working non-stop, and muttered in her mouth: "I got rich this time, and I got the spirit stone in exchange for the elixir, which is enough for me to cultivate to the third level of qi refining." She was happy, but her hands kept moving, not observing her surroundings at all.
Everyone looked at Lin Lingling's every move under the mountainside in different minds.
Lin Ruoran's sense is strong, every move in the environment within a radius of 100 miles, the expressions of several people are clear to her, she saw Lin Lingling digging spirit grass wholeheartedly, every time she picks a tree, her eyes glow excitedly, and she shows this kind of thing on her face vividly, I don't know if it is out of trust in her teammates or her dedication to spirit stones, she disapproves of her behavior.
Fang Xin saw that the cold ice grass was about to be dug up, and couldn't help but remind loudly: "Senior Sister Lin, leave a few short ones for them to continue to grow, you are ready, we will pull you up in a while." Lin Lingling put away the hoe and prepared to be pulled up. Lin Ruoran and the others worked together to pull the rope, the rope was pulled up little by little, when the eyes were a mile away from the top of the mountain, a sudden change occurred, a gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing Lin Lingling to the side, her body was unstable, and a few cold ice grass fell out of her back at once, Lin Lingling was anxious, and stretched out her hand to grab the spirit grass, but unexpectedly she threw herself into the air, and her arm hit a protruding mountain rock, scratching a large piece of skin, bleeding, and this time she stabbed the basket, Lin Lingling felt that her blood was flowing uncontrollably to the mountain rock, she screamed in panic, struggling to leave the mountain stone, but the more she struggled, the more she lost too much blood, the weaker her body became, and finally she ran out of strength and fainted.
The people on the top of the mountain were frightened by the sudden situation, and the rope stopped suddenly, especially Lin Lingling's helplessness and fear screamed behind her, and when everyone reacted and continued to pull the rope, they felt that there was a pull on the rope to fight with them, as if they were going to pull them down together, and then everyone was shocked, Li Fen said in a trembling voice: "Senior Sister Fang, we can't pull the rope soon, come and help." ”
Fang Xin's heart beat like thunder as she watched Lin Lingling constantly struggle at the bottom of the mountain, her face changed different colors, on the one hand, she didn't want Lin Lingling to have an accident, and on the other hand, she expected an accident to happen. When Fang Xin heard Li Fen's request for help, the chaotic thoughts in her heart suddenly sobered up, and she said unhurriedly: "Senior Sister Li, don't worry, I'll go down and save Senior Sister Lin out."
Lin Ruoran had been quietly observing Fang Xin with her divine sense, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the complicated expression on Fang Xin's face, she glanced at her thoughtfully, and had a trace of vigilance and defense against her in her heart.
