After grinning to the mountain stream, Nie Ming removed the shadow leopard skin with some cracks on his body and the soft armor that was still as good as new. After slowly washing away the blood stains on his body, Nie Ming decisively shook a packet of golden powder on the wound, this is the best gold sore medicine, although it will bring great pain to the user, but the effect is excellent.

Sure enough, the wound had already begun to heal slowly under the effect of the golden medicine, and after adding some more medicine, he put on the inner armor and the shadow leopard skin again.

In front of him, Nie Ming took out the beef jerky that he put close to him and began to feast, after a little rest and recuperation, he continued to set off, and the chasing soldiers behind him also kept chasing him for a long time, and he had made a lot of efforts before, but I really didn't know if I could fool them.

The sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun left a dappled mark on the branches of the trees around the mountain stream.

After simply dealing with the injury, Nie Ming walked for a long time, but when he reached the middle of the canyon, he didn't dare to move quickly, because his perception was extremely strong, and he seemed to be able to feel that there seemed to be something terrible hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests and the streams around him.

Of course, it wasn't these threats that kept him moving, but the presence of traces of human activity in the mountain stream in front of him, and they were very new, as if they had been left not so long ago!

Nie Ming had been standing on the bank of a river for a long time, quietly looking at the other bank, and finally he said loudly: "Nie Ming is here, where is the master waiting here, why don't you show up and see it?" One-on-one, you don't have to hide your head and tail! ”

No one responded, it seems; The person inside didn't want to deal with him at all, so the situation was a little embarrassing.

Nie Ming, who was holding the double halberd, slowly paced forward, the distance of each step was very consistent, such a distance could allow him to burst out at the maximum speed in an instant after discovering the enemy, and this speed was already the limit of what he could do.

Although there is a high possibility that his wounds will collapse and worsen by doing so, he can't care about so much at this time, after all, the enemies before him are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Those three assassins should be the long-known three stars on the assassin list in the rivers and lakes, ranking twenty-seventh on the assassin list, they don't know where they came from, but they have committed many major crimes in just four years after their debut, and even one of the big people has been assassinated, and they are famous new stars in the killer world.

The three of them seem to have the ability to share their hearts, so the other party is silent in the process of assassination, and this silent environment is the real home of the assassins, although their strength is at the upper level of the second-rate in the rivers and lakes, but with extreme exercises and the cooperation of the three of them, even Nie Ming, who has stepped into the first-class level, cannot quickly put them down.

When their reinforcements arrived, Mu Yi could no longer compete with them head-on, so he could only fight and leave, and most of the injuries on his body appeared at that time.

This chase lasted for two hours, and because Nie Ming's speed did have an advantage, he finally got rid of the pursuers after making several confusing escape routes, and the blessing of fortune was that when he confirmed the location, he found that he had reached the vicinity of Zhangtang Stream.

That's why the beginning of the scene began.

Back to the present, just after nervously turning a river bay, Nie Ming heard a Qingyue voice, and the appearance of this voice directly stunned him, because the owner of the voice should not have appeared here.

"Sure enough, you're here." This is Zhou Xiaozhong's voice.

I saw a delicate tea tree growing in the rocks between the river bays, the plant is medium in size, the posture of the tree is open in a half-shape, the branches of the tea tree are dense, and the leaves are slightly inclined upward.

A woman in Tsing Yi was jumping lightly in the rocks, and the pieces of tender green flew into the bamboo basket around her waist with a gentle shake of her hands, Nie Ming watched quietly and did not say a word.

It wasn't until he saw the woman on the other side stop what he was doing that Nie Ming spoke: "Zhou Xiaochong, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you shouldn't appear here, this tea picking party is too dangerous." ”

"You're really embarrassed, Nie Shaoxia." Xiao Chong chuckled, "What about the big red robe?" No, we haven't arrived at Kowloon Cave yet, so let's take a look at this, this white cockscomb is growing just right. ”

"Tea picking is also a science, and those of us who can fight may be more suitable to be guards." Nie Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, "I was shallow before, but why did you come into the mountain?" Even if we are new, we can at least guarantee that the tea leaves will be taken out, and you, really dangerous! ”

"Maybe it's like you're something, something I like a lot." Zhou Xiaochong muttered, "Since you are willing to be a bodyguard, let's go together." ”

"Dashan, you show the way, I explore the way." Nie Ming said with a smile.

"It's not necessary to explore the way, have you seen my jade pendant? It's carved out of a strange tree in the Nine Dragons, and with it, the beasts won't attack me. Zhou Xiaozhong explained, "But what is more terrifying than the beast is the human heart."

The two of them walked up the stream, looking for tea leaves on the cliffs by the stream.

At this time, Xiao Chong was like a master, pointing out Nie Ming, a beginner's disciple along the way.

"You see, the tea leaves on that mountain rock are tender and yellow, you laymen must think that it is a special high-quality tree." Xiao Chong pointed to a touch of goose yellow on the cliff in the distance and said, "Actually, it is not, the leaf color of the high-quality white cockscomb is tender yellow, the leaves are oval or oval, the leaf color is dark green, shiny, the leaf surface is slightly raised, the leaf margin is microwaved, the leaf body is folded inward or flat, the leaf tip is acutely pointed or slightly blunt, the leaf teeth are slightly blunt and shallow, and the leaf quality is thick and brittle." The buds are yellowish-white, hairy, and have short internodes. ”

Nie Ming climbed up and carefully observed this tea tree, and sure enough, although the leaves were tender and yellow, it had no other characteristics, just an ordinary tea tree.

"You're right." Nie Ming jumped down, "It seems that there are indeed a lot of such doorways. ”

"That's right, in fact, different tea trees on Wuyi Mountain have their different growth characteristics, looking for tea is with the heart, and picking tea is by art." Zhou Xiaochong sighed, "You shouldn't be able to understand, come with me, those cuties in front of you are not so easy to talk to." ”

Sure enough, the two continued to move forward and found a few small white cockscombs, all of which were scattered in a sunny place, monopolizing the spring light.

As they approached, there were always a variety of exotic beasts slowly turning out of the vicinity of the tea tree, including a huge heterochromatic tanukt, a colorful python, and a jet-black poisonous scorpion.

These three were reluctant to share their "back garden", so the old thug Nie Ming had a certain degree of conflict.

Nie Ming was not good at fighting with beasts, but according to Zhou Xiaozhong's arrangement, he was armed with a bare halberd to fight the opponent, and when Nie Ming repelled the opponent's attack many times, they finally chose to retreat, and slowly gave way to the tea tree.

At this time, Zhou Xiaozhong would take out a small bag with a compelling aroma from the basket in his hand, and throw the small balls one by one to the beasts, and after devouring these balls, they stayed under the tree safely, not because they were fighting.

And Zhou Xiaozhong only picked the freshest tea leaves, and the rest of the new leaves were in autumn, because according to her, except for the best leaves, the freshest tea could not be taken, and there was no point in picking them.

The two complemented each other, and soon came to the end of Zhangtang Stream, and here they could directly enter the production place of the water golden turtle - Niulankeng.

There is also a water system in the Niulan, and it is precisely because of this that a very special geological phenomenon has been formed here, and this geological phenomenon has provided a lot of help to them as tea pickers.

Originally, Niulankeng and Zhangtang Stream were parallel east-west rivers, due to the large amount of water, strong erosion and deep cutting of Zhangtang Stream, the tributary Xiangjian developed by the north-south fault structure traced back to the source of erosion quickly, and finally cut through the watershed between Zhangtang Stream and Niulankeng, so that the middle and upper reaches of Niulankeng were attacked by Zhangtang Stream above Tianxin Rock and belonged to the Zhangtang Stream water system.

Through this captured position, you can directly save the time of climbing mountains and mountains, and you can directly enter new areas in the valley

Geoscience calls this phenomenon "river raiding". Zhangtang Stream is called the Raid River, and the Niulan Pit is called the Raided River, and the junction of the two forms an unnatural right-angle turn, which is called the Raid Raid Bay in geomorphology. The cattle pen pit flows down into a sourceless river, called the Guillotine River. The existence of this geomorphological phenomenon shows that the rivers here have had the phenomenon of strong current swallowing up weak flow in the process of their natural development, which is of great significance in geoscience.

However, for Nie Ming, the significance of geoscience is not important, the important thing is that after passing here, they are getting closer and closer to the Nine Dragons, as long as they appear in that area at the right time, they will have the opportunity to appear in the Nine Dragons.

Of course, before this, they should still pick the best water beetles first, after all, one more harvest is one more choice, and the tea leaves in their hands are far better than leaving them for their opponents.

However, when they stepped into the bullpen pit, it was getting late, and the two found a cave and began to light a fire, cook, and rest.

In the impression of the two, Wuyi's night is mostly quiet and peaceful, at the beginning, the two of them were also sitting by the fire, eating grilled fish and talking about tea, it seemed very comfortable, the killer who chased and killed Nie Ming did not appear again, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, now he is not the lonely person before, when there are weak people around him who need protection, everyone will be tied.

But things didn't go as planned, and just as the two were about to turn up the fire and prepare to rest, the wind tonight brought the sound of a very fierce fight in the distance.

Zhou Xiaochong's face showed a worried look, and Nie Ming patted her shoulder: "Have a good rest, leave this matter to me." ”
