"Where?"

Hearing that there was a snow lotus, Bai Lan was also a little excited, and turned her head to ask. After glancing around, I saw that the snow was all around, where was the shadow of plants?

Jiang Li gritted his teeth and smiled: "Hehe...... Just kidding. Add a little spice to the boring journey. ”

Bai Lan glanced at Jiang Li dissatisfiedly: "It's boring, it's not funny at all, don't do useless things." Save your strength and climb the mountain! ”

"Uh...... All right! Jiang Li shrugged awkwardly and replied with three words.

The heart said that since the murder happened that night, this girl's attitude towards herself has become cold. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I didn't tell her about how I came into contact with the cultivators. Seeing that she is cold now, she doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in me, and it seems that nothing will happen between us!

The two men continued to climb, but their pace slowed down, and they not only climbed higher again, but also began to search longitudinally. Bai Lan looked around with a telescope from time to time, searching for the shadow of the snow lotus on the snow-capped mountains, but by noon, she still didn't see a single one.

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Lan ordered the meal to be opened, took out the solar electric stove and started cooking, the staple food is still instant noodles, but there is cooked beef at all, in this harsh condition, it can be regarded as a rare delicacy.

Jiang Li was a little anxious, and found a place to cover up, as soon as his pants were unbuttoned, the cold wind blew in, and the little brother was really cold from a high place. After peeing with difficulty, Jiang Li hid his little friend who was frozen and had no instinct in his pants, and when he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a white flower, smiling at himself under his feet......

Snow-white petals, like a flower disc like a sunflower, about 50 centimeters high, isn't this a snow lotus?

"Miss Bai, I found Snow Lotus, come and have a look!" Jiang Li shouted excitedly.

Bai Lan was cooking, and was disturbed by Jiang Li's shouting, turned his head to look at it, thinking that he was still joking with himself, turned around and continued to cook his own noodles, and snorted: "You are still playing the game of 'wolf is coming' with me, childish!" ”

Jiang Li didn't know how to pick, so he had to resist the urge to pick, walked back, and said sincerely: "Miss Bai, it's me who is not good in the morning." But this time I really found a snow lotus, you come and help me take a look, how should I pick it? ”

Seeing Jiang Li's sincere face, not like lying, Bai Lan stopped the pot and followed Jiang Li to the convenient place just now. Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw a white snow lotus on the cliff.

"Don't move yet, I'll test the instrument to see how old this flower is."

Bai Lan said a word to Jiang Li, then turned around and walked to the two large travel bags, and took out an instrument similar to a microscope from his bag. Then he stepped on the steep rock, climbed to the snow lotus, measured the petals with an instrument for a long time, and finally shook his head and climbed up empty-handed.

"Why didn't you take it off? Isn't it less than a thousand years? Jiang Li asked suspiciously.

Bai Lan nodded: "Yes, the lifespan of this snow lotus is only 580 years, and it cannot be picked." ”

Jiang Li was a little discouraged, but he was unwilling to give up like this, and argued: "Since you found it, why don't you pick it up?" Even if it only has a lifespan of 580 years, I think it is a rare medicinal material. ”

"You can't pick it up! Although snow lotus under 1000 years old is a precious medicinal material, it is only a medicinal material, which can only play the effect of dissipating cold and removing dampness, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. But if it can grow for more than a thousand years, it will become a magical fairy grass that can bring the dead back to life and dissolve all kinds of poisons. So, you can't pick it up, let it grow slowly. This snow lotus has lived for 580 years, and for another 4,000 years, it is a fairy grass. Bai Lan pulled Jiang Li and turned his head to leave, explaining to him the difference between ordinary snow lotus and thousand-year-old snow lotus as she walked.

Jiang Li still did not give up, arguing: "What does it have to do with us if it lives for another 400 years?" By that time, we will have no ashes left. Even if you can feather and ascend to immortality after eating it, what does it have to do with us? I think I'd better pick it up! At the very least, it can strengthen the body, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood. ”

Bai Lan's face changed, she stretched out her hand to stop Jiang Li, and said coldly: "If I say no, I can't do it, if you have to pick it, pass my level first!" If our predecessors thought the same as us, would we still be able to harvest a thousand-year-old snow lotus? You're right, in another 400 years, we would have been dead for a long, long time. No matter what this snow lotus looks like, it will have nothing to do with us anymore. However, at the very least, we have left a precious fairy grass to future generations, and at that time, this snow lotus may save a dying patient. ”

Listening to Bai Lan's words, Jiang Li was a little shaken, thinking that what she said was right, you can't be so selfish. If the predecessors of a thousand years ago thought like themselves, I am afraid that it is difficult to find a snow lotus that has grown for thousands of years now.

"Even if we don't pick it, other explorers will take it when they see it. Instead of cheapening others, it is better to cheapen ourselves. So, I think it's better to pick it up, right? "Jiang Li kneaded. Rubbing his face that was a little numb from the cold, he made a final argument.

Seeing that Jiang Li's attitude was a little shaken by what he said, Bai Lan continued to do work for him: "You're right, even if we don't pick it, we can't guarantee that other explorers won't pick it." What we can do is to do our best to leave some wealth for future generations. Don't look at the money and grab the wealth that should belong to future generations for the sake of the small profits in front of you. In a Chinese saying, it is in the people to make things happen, and everything is worthy of the heart! ”

Listening to Bai Lan's words, Jiang Li suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself. According to what she said, don't you belong to the category of rats? A person of high character should be far-sighted and think about future generations and others in every way, and should not only think about satisfying his own selfish interests.

"Okay...... I was convinced by you, I gave up! Jiang Li smiled bitterly and agreed to Bai Lan's request.

Jiang Li suddenly felt that he couldn't see through this woman, what kind of person was she? That night, when facing the enemy, she shot like the wind, ruthless, and took someone's surname in a moment; And now, why is he chivalrous and courageous, worried about the country, the people and the world? People really have two surnames!

During the meal, seeing that Jiang Li was still a little difficult to let go, Bai Lan continued to work for him: "Actually, there are also snow lotuses growing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, and there are more than the Alaska Mountains, why didn't your friends let you go where to pick them, but let you come to distant North America?" ”

Jiang Li shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, and guessed casually: "Maybe it's because the quality of the soil on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not good!" ”

Bai Lan shook her head and gave the answer: "There is the Himalayas, the roof of the world, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is more suitable for the growth of snow lotus. However, the Chinese do not care so much, especially those who pick Chinese medicinal herbs, and pick them when they see them, so they don't care how many years it has grown, so it is impossible to pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Therefore, the vast majority of cultivators in the world, who have some knowledge of snow lotus, will choose to come to the cold Alaska Mountains to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus instead of going to China's Tibetan province. ”

"I understand, cultivating to become an immortal, maybe it's not just the body that should be cultivated, or maybe it's the soul that should be cultivated!" Jiang Li said thoughtfully.

Bai Lan was very happy and nodded, "Congratulations, you have finally attained enlightenment." Maybe, one day you will really have Mahayana, maybe you will still be alive in 400 years! ”

"Haha...... Lend you auspicious words! ”

Jiang Li laughed heartily, and did not directly refute Bai Lan's words, but he did not agree in his heart.

What kind of joke is the heart saying? I just comprehended this truth, and I still don't believe in cultivating immortals. That thing may be able to be cultivated by goblins, but as for humans being able to cultivate immortals, I really don't believe it. My biggest goal is to make good money and become the richest person in the world.
