The 267th Round: Into the Black Pills
The air in the deep mountains and old forests is fresher than the town!
After eating, drinking, and having fun in Xiaolin Town for half the night, the next morning, I pulled Yang Yu and Lian Huanyue out of the bed and dragged them to the grove at the edge of the town.
"What? Can't drink anymore! "Yang Yu is rolling on the ground.
"Still not letting people live?" Lian Huanyue hugged the big tree and whispered.
"You go back to sleep." I dropped, "I'll go first." β
"Huh? Wait a minute! After walking dozens of steps here, they suddenly made a stir and hurriedly chased after them......
This trip to the deep mountains was personally guided by Lin Zhenxiao.
Turning a col, the trees in front of you are dense, the ground is dark, and it feels soft to step on.
"This is Blackskin Ridge?" I asked.
"That's right." Lin Zhenxiao said, "The leaves here fall on the ground, forming a thick layer of black mud, so it's called Heipi Ridge - don't look at this black mud is dirty and soft, it's especially nutritious!" β
"Can you eat it?" Yang Yu was surprised.
"Eating is eating, but it's not us who eat, it's flowers and plants that eat." Lin Zhenxiao said, "In Heipiling, all kinds of plants grow very vigorously, and the medicinal herbs that take ten years to grow in other places can be picked here in seven or eight years; The trees and grass grow luxuriantly, and the game is extraordinarily abundant, and every time a hunter comes, the harvest is almost twice as much as in other places! β
"So, it's really a treasure." I exclaimed.
"Of course." Lin Zhenxiao said, "If it weren't for the fact that this place is far away from the Miao people's village, but close to our Xiaolin Town, Miao Si would not have been able to give up this treasure land." β
"But as soon as the witch man came, he took the place like this?" I asked.
"We've been deceived, too." Lin Zhenxiao said angrily, "At that time, a few witches came to the town, saying that they wanted to buy a piece of land to build a house on the edge of the town, and the governor of the town at that time also bullied the outsiders and bought a piece of rotten land to them at a high price - unexpectedly, the problem was this rotten land - later the witch's house was built more and more, and the land was not enough, and he proposed to the town to buy nearby land, and the magistrate didn't think much about it, so he allocated them another ten acres of land......"
"What's wrong with these ten acres of land?" I said.
"Ten acres of land itself is no problem, but in this kind of barren mountains and mountains, the place is large and no one cares, so the practice is to let the person who buys the land take a rope to enclose the land, as long as the total area of the land does not exceed the regulations." Lin Zhenxiao said.
"It's only the total area, not the shape, right?" I had a vague idea of what the problem was.
"You guessed it!" Lin Zhenxiao slapped his thigh and said, "These cunning witches dragged an extremely long rope from the edge of their land into the deep mountains, until they reached the depths of the Black Skin Ridge, and then turned back and circled an extremely slender piece of land - after that, they built a fence along this slender piece of land and began to collect tolls!" β
"In such a big place, even if a fence is built, can all the witches be able to defend it?" I wondered.
"They didn't plan to hold it all at all." Lin Zhenxiao said, "They only focused on guarding a part of the area, and the townspeople didn't want to pay tolls, so they naturally bypassed those areas......"
"At first, the townspeople felt that they were taking advantage of it, so they didn't care what the witches were doing in the mountains." I finally understood the truth, "And after a long time, the paid area that no townspeople are willing to go to becomes the territory of the witches!" β
"Exactly!" Lin Zhenxiao said.
"But can you bear what they do?" Yang Yu Road.
"Of course I can't bear it." Lin Zhenxiao said, "After knowing what happened, the town guard brought hundreds of soldiers into the mountains to settle accounts with the witch village. β
"Nobody's coming back, is it?" Lian Huanyu looked sideways.
"How is that possible?" Lin Zhenxiao said, "Don't say whether they have this kind of ability, even if they do, if Wuren Village dares to leave hundreds of officers and soldiers in the mountains, within ten days, thousands of government soldiers will definitely be killed." β
"Then ......" this time it was even Joy's turn not to understand.
"No one knows what the witches have done, anyway, after the town guard came back from Heipi Ridge, he actually reached an agreement with the Zhi Zhen and acquiesced in the fact that they lived in Heipi Ridge." Lin Zhenxiao said, "However, the territory occupied by the witches is only a small part of the entire Heipi Ridge after all, and it has little impact on the livelihood of the townspeople, so the matter will be over." β
"It doesn't have a big impact, it always has an impact." I say.
"Yes." Lin Zhenxiao said, "Ever since the shamans built a village in Heipiling, hunters have often caught sick beastsβthis kind of beast cannot be eaten, and when it eats, it vomits and diarrhea; And it is rumored that someone saw a monster with three heads, or seven legs, in the mountains......"
Even Joy sticks out his tongue.
"Even if the magistrate and the town guard are bought by the witches, don't you do anything?" I said.
"I once went to Miao Si and wanted the Miao people to deal with them." Lin Zhenxiao said, "The Miao people really can't get used to these witches, Miao Si sent someone to negotiate, and there were several frictions, but in the end they still maintained the status quo." β
"A small witch village can actually tie with the huge Miao tribe?" I was secretly surprised, "It seems that the water in this witch village is quite deep." β
"I have also consulted the helmsman on this matter, and the conclusion is...... If the other party does not take any further action, nothing will be moved. Lin Zhenxiao said.
It seems that even the dignified Eagle Claw Gate is not sure about the mysterious power of the wizard.
"So what do we do?" Yang Yu asked, "Do you really want to go on?" β
"My subordinates suggested, let's go back first." Lin Zhenxiao arched his hand and said, "If you really want to enter the witch village, you must at least let the chief helmsman send a few teams of elites to come over, so that nothing can go wrong." β
"Isn't this a poisonous miasma that hasn't been encountered yet, what are you afraid of?" I shook my head and said, "Go a little further inside and look at ......."
Before he could finish speaking, a puff of gray smoke rose from the bushes ahead.
"Poison ...... Poisonous miasma! When Yang Yu saw it, his face changed greatly and he exclaimed.
"Is this a miasma?" I frowned.
"The subordinates don't know." Lin Zhenxiao said solemnly.
"You stay here, I'll go and see." I parted the grass and felt my way to the source of the smoke.
Even if it's really a poisonous miasma, don't I still have Shennongjin (missing article)?
I'd like to see if it's your wizard's virus that is powerful, or if my Shennong is so strong!
Gray smoke is right in front of you.
I held my breath, condensed Shennong's energy into a ball, and headed forward.
Wrapped in a cloud of gray mist, the inner vision is activated!
Through the microscopic ability of inner vision, I can see the material composition of the gray fog clearly.
Well?
What kind of poisonous fog is this, it's just some ordinary earth ash grains.
I tried to take a breath.
Oh?
There is a strong aroma in the smoke.
I waved forward with one hand, and the internal power was transformed, and the yellow sand radiated out with great energy, slowly discharging the gray mist to both sides.
I saw a thin figure squatting on the ground among the grass, as if he was roasting something......
