Chapter 65 Black Lotus Swamp
If this person comes, there will definitely be nothing good, and Zhao Zheng was three more vigilant in his heart at that time.
The other people didn't know what to do, but they only thought that Feng Ming was their fellow hall master, and they all stood up and stood up to greet each other.
The wind roared so fast that in a few breaths, he flew in front of everyone, and stood firmly on the ground, without even a trace of smoke and dust. Everyone didn't know why, and immediately asked Feng Ming why he came here, Feng Ming squeezed out a smile, and replied: "I heard that several of you are going to the Black Lotus Swamp to find the whereabouts of the old man Lu Wen, and I am worried that you are not manpowered, so I took the initiative to ask the head of the house to help you and talk about your efforts." ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and then they figured out the meaning of the wind roar. Someone said that there were enough people, so Feng Ming didn't have to do more, and instead of walking with them, it was better to stay in the sect and guard the mountain. But Feng Ming had already made up his mind, and insisted that this was the intention of the master, and everyone had no choice but to bring this acting hall master of the Mighty Hall.
With Feng Ming's identity and strength, it is not strange to keep up, everyone didn't think much about it, only Zhao Zheng faintly felt uneasy.
Their trip has a great deal to do and will directly determine the outcome of the dispute between the two factions. If they can find Lu Wen and ask how to break the tower, they can easily break the mad knife desperate tower without a lot of risks. Feng Ming, as a member of the Three Swords Sect, would definitely want to stop this matter after learning about it, and it was probably for him to come over to achieve this purpose.
If that's the case, you'll have to be more careful with Feng Ming, lest you be plotted by him.
Zhao Zheng had a plan in his heart, but his face was still silent, he ate when he should eat and drink when he should drink.
After eating, everyone continued to hurry, stepping on the thick night, to the direction where the Black Lotus Swamp was located. Everyone shouldered a heavy responsibility, wearing stars and moons along the way, rarely resting, so after three days of travel, they finally arrived at the Black Lotus Swamp smoothly. Everyone has gone fast enough, but the time is still very tight, the agreed period between the Taishan faction and the Three Swords Sect is only seven days, it took them three days just to get here, and it will naturally take three days to return, which means that they can only stay here for one day at most, once it exceeds one day, everything will be too late, even if they find Lu Wen, it is useless to learn the method of breaking the tower.
Zhao Zheng stood among the crowd, stopping to look forward, with a solemn look on his face.
In front of it is the famous Black Lotus Swamp, there are many trees growing in this swamp, and there are pools or mud below, there is no place to stay, if you don't know martial arts, you can't go half a step deep. In addition, there is also a black flower called "Yama lotus" growing in this swamp, which is pitch black and the size of a palm, and is born to absorb nutrients from the swamp, and can emit a strange fragrance from the corolla that makes people's minds confused. If people smell this aroma, they will be dizzy, confused, do some stupid things, and even commit suicide on the spot!
It is precisely because of this special surname that this flower is named Hades, and this place is called the Black Lotus Swamp. This life-threatening flower is far more terrifying than the swamp itself.
"Look, is that flower growing over there the so-called Hades Lotus?" The sword slave pointed ahead, and everyone immediately looked in the direction of his finger, and so did Zhao Zheng.
In the distance, I saw a strange black flower extending from under a tree, as if it were poisonous, showing a very uncomfortable deep black. The flower's corolla is trumpet-shaped, wide open, and around it, a faint mist can be faintly seen, which seems to be formed by the pollen.
Zhao Zheng recognized at a glance that the black flower was Yama Lotus!
Since this is only the edge of the Black Lotus Swamp, it is still rare, and if you go deeper, Yama Lotus will gradually increase.
In order to deal with this fateful Yama Lotus, everyone received a lot of pills from the Rejuvenation Hall before setting off, and the most important pills included two. One is called "Turtle Breath Pill", which can play a role similar to that of Turtle Breath Gong after eating, which can make people reduce the number of breaths, but not feel suffocated, which can greatly reduce the poisonous surname of Yama Wanglian; The other is called "Pure Body Pill", which is a panacea that cleanses the body of toxins, and has enough medicinal power to counteract the poisonous surname of Yama Lian.
In fact, if you try to advance from a high place and avoid those poisonous floral scents with your sense of smell, you can completely avoid poisoning. But just in case, you still have to rely on the help of these pills.
Everyone was pressed for time, and after looking at the spot for a while, they took out the pills they had prepared early in the morning, swallowed them in one gulp, and digested them with a little internal force.
Since the person who claimed to have seen Lu Wen here was Zhao Zheng, the responsibility of leading the way naturally fell on his head, and he did not have the ability to fly, so he could only honestly step on the branches of the tree to move forward, and his posture rose and fell, but it was not without losing his chic. He followed the memories of his previous life, stared at the terrain around him, compared it with the terrain in his memory, and cautiously groped his way forward. If he takes the wrong path, not only will he be troubled, but several other people will also be anxious, so if he can avoid it, it is better to walk slowly than to go wrong.
The further you went, the worse the environment of the swamp became, and the Yama lotus also increased, and many of these words grew together in groups, so that the fragrance of the flowers also gathered together, forming a mist visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Zheng knew very well that this Yama Lotus was powerful, so he had been hiding far away, and with the help of the Turtle Breath Pill and the Purifying Body Pill, it was quite safe along the way. He led the group to grope forward, and after walking for about two quarters of an hour, he finally approached his destination, and a short distance further on, he should be able to reach the place where Lu Wen's seclusion was.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the place, but there were some unexpected changes in front, for some reason, the floral mist in front suddenly increased several times, almost becoming a rich miasma. Even if everyone is here, they can still vaguely smell the faint fragrance of flowers coming from the miasma, and there are some adverse reactions.
Zhao Zheng's skills are the thinnest, so the reaction is more obvious, and he faintly feels a little dizzy. The poisonous surname with a rich miasma in front seemed to be far more powerful than the ordinary Yama Lotus. He couldn't help frowning, a normal Black Lotus Swamp shouldn't have this miasma.
There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and there are so many miasma, it is likely that one or two mutated strains of Yama Lotus have emerged, so the poisonous mist has increased a lot.
The Purifying Body Pill is still good for resisting the ordinary Yama Lotus poisonous gas, but in the face of the mutated Yama Lotus, it is an unknown, and Zhao Zheng's dizziness is a very bad sign. He turned his head to the side and asked the people behind him, "What should I do?" Do you want to bypass it or find a way to get rid of these miasma? My head was already a little dizzy, and the scent of flowers in the miasma was obviously inaudible. ”
After some deliberation, the group decided to take a detour to avoid the rich miasma.
Zhao Zheng carefully made a note of this place so as not to take the wrong path, and then walked around the edge of the miasma. He was worried that he would not be able to hold on, so just in case, he took out a black lotus seed from the treasure bag and put it at the base of his tongue, but he did not rush to swallow it. The black lotus seed released a faint bitter taste, which he sucked in and swallowed into his stomach.
After swallowing this faint bitter water, his dizziness symptoms were suddenly alleviated a lot, and he was much more sober. This black lotus seed is worthy of being an antidote to the holy medicine, even if it is inhaled twice, it has such medicinal power.
Everyone walked around the miasma for a while, but found that the miasma was far larger than expected, and they had been walking with the miasma for too long, and even several masters except Zhao Zheng had adverse reactions. When some people see that the environment here is so bad, they can't help but complain, thinking that no one would choose to live in this kind of place, and even if they come, they will come in vain. The spearhead of this kind of remark is naturally Zhao Zheng, the leader.
Zhao Zheng did not refute such micro-words, did not even give any explanation, and still walked forward on his own.
After walking forward for a while, the direction of the wind in the swamp suddenly changed, and it blew towards them from the miasma. The white poisonous mist miasma was like a group of deadly ghosts, rushing towards them with the wind, bringing bursts of rich floral fragrance.
Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone hurriedly showed their magic powers, and tried all kinds of methods to deal with this miasma, some people swallowed the antidote pill, some people sealed their breath with internal force, and some people played a sharp palm wind against the rushing miasma, and relied on the palm wind to blow away a lot of miasma.
This miasma can make people's minds lose their minds, and it can drift around with the wind, which is even more headache than martial arts masters.
Zhao Zheng and the others were in a hurry, and they were able to resist the miasma's attack, but they also paid the price. One of them probably moved a little slower, inhaled too much miasma, and the poisonous surname overwhelmed the medicinal power in his body, causing him to have a severe poisoning reaction, and even said incoherently that he was going to take a bath, and jumped off the branch of the tree at once, and plunged headlong into the filthy swamp below. Thanks to the quick eyes of the person next to him, he was able to hold him back and pour him an antidote pill to help him get out of the crisis.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng couldn't cherish the broom anymore, so he generously took out a few black lotus seeds and distributed them to a few people in his peers, so that these people could temporarily hold them in their mouths. However, when Feng Ming was distributed, he deliberately claimed that he didn't have so many black lotus seeds with him, and he had already finished dividing them, and he didn't lend the black lotus seeds to Feng Ming.
Feng Ming smiled on the surface, and didn't seem to mind, but there was obviously a trace of anger in his eyes.
Under the blowing of the wind, the miasma spread out in all directions, covering a considerable area, and the so-called edge can no longer be found. Everyone no longer made a detour, but broke into the miasma single-handedly. With the help of those few black lotus seeds, everyone blocked the poisonous surname of the miasma, and although it penetrated deep into the miasma, it was not poisoned. In this way, everyone gradually relaxed and moved faster.
Zhao Zheng led everyone back to the previous position, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly found that in the swamp in front of him, there was a very large Yama lotus, with a height of nearly half a zhang, the diameter of the flower was the thickness of a wrist, and the corolla was the size of a basin, which was several times larger than the ordinary Yama Lotus. From the huge corolla, a steady stream of intense floral scents erupted, and the miasma around it was obviously created by this thing.
Mutant Yama Lotus!
Zhao Zheng's heart jumped, and he pointed at the huge Yama Lotus and shouted, "Look at that Yama Lotus!" ”
In fact, before he could speak, everyone had already seen the conspicuous thing, and they all stopped and looked at it carefully.
"It's also a scourge to keep this kind of ghostly thing, just cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to harm people here again in the future." The sword slave resisted these poisonous flowers along the way, suffered a lot, and had a lot of resentment about it. He was the first to slap the sword box, unleashing five swords, and using the method of the sword, he controlled these swords to swish and flew towards the mutated Yama lotus.
The five swords with the five Void-Breaking Sword Qi rushed to the front of Yama Wang Lian in the blink of an eye, piercing through the wrist-thick flower stem, and slashing it into several pieces. Although Yama Wanglian's poisonous gas was powerful, it couldn't withstand such a sharp sword qi attack, and it was cut off on the spot.
The ordinary Yama lotus can be used to make poison or as a medicine primer, and the value of this mutated Yama lotus is bound to be higher.
Zhao Zheng said to the people around him in line with the principle of not taking it for nothing, and jumped to the Yama Lotus who was about to sink into the swamp first, grabbed it in his hand, shook it vigorously, and shook out the residual poisonous gas in the flower crown. He stood on a branch, wiped the Yama lotus clean, folded it several times, wrapped it in a package, and carried it on his back. People didn't pay much attention to this kind of behavior.
After dealing with this mutant Yama Lotus, everyone moved forward again, probably because the root of the bane was removed, the surrounding miasma slowly faded, and the threat to people was reduced a lot. After walking a little further, the front suddenly opened up, and the fog was basically invisible.
"We're in place." Zhao Zheng, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, looked ahead with burning eyes, and pointed ahead.
Everyone looked at it together, and found that there was a rare piece of land in front of them, which was five acres in size, but the area was not large, and it happened to be surrounded by marshland. On this land, there are some flowers and trees, as well as a field with a variety of crops, all of which are growing well. On the edge of the farmland, there is a simple wooden house, this wooden house is not luxurious, but it gives people a very neat and clean beauty, at first glance it is not ordinary people can build.
As soon as everyone saw this land and dwellings, they all suspected that this was the place where Lu Wen lived. The fatigue on their bodies was suddenly swept away, and the doubts they had about Zhao Zheng's words before also disappeared, and two of them apologized to Zhao Zheng.
"Senior brothers and uncles, you don't have to be polite, since you're here, let's hurry up and say hello to the people who live here. I hope that the person who lives in it is none other than the predecessors of Lu Wen. Zhao Zheng smiled, regardless of his previous suspicions. (To be continued.) )
