The second hundred and second record of Suzaku Mountain
The man's lips were pale, and he fell to the ground dying, "Miss Hui, the little one and the brothers searched for most of the desert, and finally found the windweed, but the windweed actually grew on the volcano, and as soon as we wanted to get closer, the volcano erupted, and the little one escaped death and picked up a small life, but the other brothers ...... They ...... the rest of the words, he couldn't go on, and tears flowed down his face.
When the Chunyue people heard the man's words, her eyes tightened, and she beckoned two people to take the man down, only then did she slowly turn her eyes, and looked at Feng Luotian with a frown, Feng Luotian had already lost her mind in the man's words...
"Miss Chenying, don't worry, we will definitely pick it back, as long as we find the fairy grass, I will send someone to pick it." She looked at Feng Luo's eyes full of loss and shock, and she said comfortingly.
"No need, thank you Spring Girl for your kindness, but you also heard it just now, this fairy grass grows on the volcano, how can we pick it? Isn't this for them to die in vain? Her eyes glazed over, as if she were talking to her, but her expression did not know where to fall.
The people of the spring moon were a little speechless by her question for a while, she only knew that the windweed was a thing of the extreme yang, thinking that it grew in the desert, but she didn't expect it to grow on a volcano.
Just when the two of them were worried, suddenly, a gust of wind lifted the curtain, and the people of Chunyue suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Old woman." Her eyes lit up slightly, and she stepped forward, shouting to the gray-haired, hunchbacked old woman.
The old man was old, and he had some ears behind his ears, and the Chunyue people screamed several times before she heard it, and turned around with a trembling crooked mouth.
Chunyue glanced at Feng Luotian and said, "Miss Chenying, that mother-in-law told me about the Immortal Grass, let's go and ask her, maybe she knows how to pick the Immortal Grass." ”
When Feng Luo heard this, he hurriedly looked at the old man and followed the Chunyue people over.
"Mother-in-law." The spring moon man smiled lightly, and she whispered softly to the old man's ear and called her.
The old man lifted her old face, her whole face was covered with deep frowns, and she raised her cloudy eyes to look at the Spring Moon Man.
"It turned out to be Spring Girl." The old man stared at her left and right for a long time before he recognized her, and then he opened his mouth tremblingly, and his voice was dry and rough.
"Does the old woman remember me?" The Spring Moon Man hooked the corners of his lips again.
When the old man heard her words, he tore open his face that was only a layer of dry skin, and several deep frowns in the corners of his eyes suddenly appeared, and she grinned and nodded, "How can I not remember Le, if the girl hadn't given me dry food, my old thing would have starved to death in the desert." ”
"Huh." The tone of the old woman's speech was a little funny, so that she couldn't help but bow her head and smile slightly.
"Mother-in-law, aren't you going home? How did you get here? ”
"Oh, I'm lost again, I'm thirsty, come in and ask for a bowl of water, and I'll go back." She spoke, gesturing from time to time.
The two of them chatted happily, but Feng Luo on the side was so anxious that he frowned into eight figures.
Chunyueren glanced at Feng Luotian, then retracted her smile instead, and she asked the old man, "Mother-in-law, do you remember the last time I asked you about the Windweed?" ”
"What?" She looked puzzled, tilted her ear to the woman, and did not hear her say anything more.
"Windweed!" Harutsuki took the trouble to repeat it loudly into her ear.
"Oh...... Breezy Grass? ”
"Hmm." She nodded, and Feng Luotian also looked at her.
"Remember to remember, this windweed has a great effect, but this windweed is a legend, and there is no windweed in this desert at all."
"No, mother-in-law, there really is a windweed, it grows on the volcano, we found it." When the Chunyue people heard the old man say this, they hurriedly explained.
"Volcano?" The old woman gradually narrowed her eyes, repeated the word volcano in her mouth, looked at the Spring Moon Man, and slowly turned her head to look at Feng Luotian's eyes.
Suddenly, her eyes changed suddenly, and then she kept shaking her head, her eyes dodging, and she said in a panic, "No...... There's nothing to do with it, I ...... I'll beg for a bowl of water to drink...... Just left. ”
Her trembling hand pushed away the Spring Moon Man and turned to look out.
"Hey...... Old woman? Chunyue didn't know why the old woman reacted so much, and when she broke free of her hand and left, she hurriedly called behind her.
However, the old man did not stop and turned back, holding a stick, and left the inn in a panic.
Feng Luotian didn't speak, she silently looked at the back of the woman leaving, she already knew in her heart, she must know something.
The winter night came very quickly, and when night fell, there was a vast desert, and no other sound could be heard except the raging wind.
In the dead of night, the curtain of the tent was gently lifted, and a slender figure walked out, Feng Luo glanced at the lonely surroundings, and she walked out of the inn door quickly.
Along the way, she finally saw the old man she saw today.
"Old woman?" She called not far behind her.
Hearing the woman's voice, the old man slowly turned around with his waist bent, raised his deep eyes and looked at Feng Luotian.
Feng Luo frowned slightly, she ran quickly to the old man, and asked anxiously, "Mother-in-law knows about the windgrass, right?" ”
When the old man heard that she was also here to ask about the windweed, her expression was a little unnatural, she hurriedly stopped at her and said, "I don't know, there is no windgrass at all, the girl is going to go." With that, she turned to leave.
This time, Feng Luotian didn't intend to let her go like this, she hurriedly ran in front of her and stretched out her hand to block her way.
"How could my mother-in-law not know? The mother-in-law told Miss Chun about the windweed, and the mother-in-law was obviously very easy-going at first, why did she change her face when she heard the spring girl say that she had found the windweed? ”
"There's really a weed, right? And it grows right on a volcano? She asked again and again.
The old man stopped, "This girl, don't ask me about the Windweed, I said, Lee, without the Windweed, you should leave the desert quickly." She didn't want to listen to Feng Luotian say anything about the wind grass, her eyes were slightly cold, and her tone was even more displeased.
Feng Luo saw that the old man insisted on refusing to say anything about the Herbs, her eyes flashed slightly, her doubts were gradually covered with deep sadness, her eyes were wet, she frowned and looked at the old man, "Mother-in-law, I really need Herbs to save people now, and I also ask my mother-in-law to tell Herbs about Herbs, because only Herbs can save his life." ”
"Girl? Why are you so obsessed? I thought you were just trying to ask me about it, but you really wanted it. She sighed, "Ugh... Girl, you can't pick that windweed. When the old man saw her sad appearance, his expression of serious questions relaxed slightly.
Feng Luo's eyes were extremely firm, and she said solemnly, "As long as I can get the Windweed, no matter what the price is, I am willing." ”
"Why bother?" The old man's eyes were filled with complicated feelings, and she looked at Feng Luotian's serious expression, not knowing whether she was asking her or talking to herself.
"Please also ask my mother-in-law to tell me how to pick the weeds."
Seeing that she had already made up her mind, the old man was in a trance, she slowly turned her head, her eyes didn't know where to fall, she groaned for a while, and then she spoke helplessly, "It has been recorded in "Ancient Chronicles: Strange" that the god of Lingguang, Vermilion Bird, is one of the five spirits, and its earth dwells on the scorching ground, which is the fire of food. ”
"This is the food of the Vermilion Bird, one of the five beasts of the ancients, and it is said that the Vermilion Bird can master the fire because of the consumption of the Zingfeng Grass."
"So, it really grows on volcanoes." Feng Luo's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
"Then when the volcano stops, I'll go get the fairy grass."
Hearing the innocent words of a woman, the old man was not as happy as her.
"Can't take it, can't take it!" Her eyes were filled with fear and panic, and she kept waving at her and said.
"Why?" Feng Luotian only felt strange.
"You don't know, this wind grass grows on the Vermilion Bird Mountain, it generally does not erupt volcanoes, it is rumored that there is a Vermilion Bird living under the Vermilion Bird Mountain, this Wind Grass its food, if someone pulls out the Wind Grass and angers it, it will breathe fire, and people will burn to death in the future."
"And such a thing?" Feng Luo asked with a frown.
"Alas, girl, you don't know, a few decades ago, in fact, this Wuji Desert was originally a land of abundant water and rice, only because there were many outsiders who coveted the windweed that grew on the Vermilion Bird Mountain, and went up the mountain many times to pick it, resulting in the volcanic eruption of the Vermilion Bird Mountain every year, and the hot magma burned a large area of the jungle, flooded the nearby villages, caused soil erosion, and the heat was unbearable, and it became what it is today."
"A piece of yellow sand, not a single grass grows."
"Huh—" the old woman sighed heavily.
"I see." Feng Luo tilted her eyes away, silently thinking about her words, and after a moment, she raised her head again, frowned and asked, "Then is there really no way to pick the windweed?" ”
"Little girl, do you really want to get the windweed?" The old man asked her.
"Hmm." She nodded solemnly, "Mother-in-law, you believe me, I really didn't pick the weeds for myself, my friend was seriously injured, and now only the weeds can save his life, so no matter how dangerous it is, I must get the weeds." ”
"Alas... All right. Seeing that Feng Luo was so sincere, the old man finally relented.
"Now that this place has become like this, I'll help you once, maybe you can restore this Infinite Desert to its original state."
She groaned for a while, and her trembling hand reached into her pocket, rummaging a few times, and finding a bottle.
She handed the thing to Feng Luotian, "Come, take it." ”
"What is this?" Feng Luo took the bottle and asked suspiciously.
"This is Xuan Ming San, legend has it, our ancestors used Xuan Ming San to trap the Vermilion Bird at the foot of the Suzaku Mountain, when you pick the Xuan Ming Grass, pour the Xuan Ming Scatter in the place where the Xuan Feng Grass grows, you can delay the time of the volcanic eruption, and you will have more time to get out."
