Chapter 65: My heart skipped a beat
Ning Ke wouldn't not know what it was, a normal man would do this in the morning, although she knew that this was a normal phenomenon, but she felt it so closely, she still felt that her heart was skipping a beat.
"Xiao Ke'er, don't move. Chu Junyue hugged her with a painful and happy expression.
Ning Ke's face became darker and darker, and he gritted his teeth, "Give you two choices, one, let me go, and two, I won't make you a man." ”
"Xiao Ke'er......" Chu Junyue sighed sadly, "How can you give it up!"
"One, or two!" Ning Kexiu raised his eyebrows and threatened in a cold voice.
Chu Junyue looked at her like a joke, and sighed, then reluctantly let go of her, "Xiao Ke'er, you really don't understand emotion." ”
"I know how to poison!" Ning Ke snorted coldly, got up from him, and got out of bed.
Chu Junyue leaned on the bed with one hand on his cheeks, sighing, not to mention how complaining.
When will his little Ke'er open his mind! It's always so cold, stinging, and he's easy to get hurt when he gets close!
The two of them simply cleaned up and quietly left the inn, not wanting to attract any more attention.
With the experience of the past, Ning Ke refused to share a horse with Chu Junyue again, she bought a decent looking horse in the town and planned to ride it alone.
"Where are you going, girl? "The man who bought the horse was a simple farmer, kindly reminded.
Ning Ke only knew that the so-called Ghost Valley was very dangerous, and it was said that there were many treasures in it, but no one had ever come out alive, and she had always felt strange what kind of place it was so terrifying.
"Big brother, what's going on with this ghost valley you're talking about?"
The farmer who sold the horses sighed, "I don't know wow! Ever since I was born, I've heard from the older generation that you can't go there, that there is poisonous gas, and that people will die if they walk in." ”
"What kind of poisonous gas?" Ning Ke frowned, and had a vague guess in his mind, but the farmer who sold the horse shook his head, and no matter how much he asked, he said he didn't know.
Ning Ke threw a piece of silver to him as a tip, and then went to the pharmacy to buy something before setting off for Guigu.
"What did you buy?" Chu Junyue was curious, and what she wanted to do.
Ning Ke was secretive, "You'll know when you go, I think I probably know what's in the Ghost Valley." ”
Chu Jun looked at her deeply, what else did this woman not know? She shocked him more and more!
*
Near noon, the two finally arrived at the so-called Ghost Valley.
As the name suggests, the ghost valley is a valley, the middle terrain is very low, narrow and deep, and on both sides are towering mountains, the mountains are full of trees, flourishing.
Ning Ke sat on the horse, glanced at it, and couldn't see what was at the bottom of the valley, but felt that there were clumps of mist swirling inside, and as soon as the wind blew, he could smell the smell of corrosion and fishiness inside.
This topography is ...... The more she looked, the more familiar it became!
If that's the case, then she has a way to deal with it!
"Xiao Ke'er, isn't the so-called poisonous gas here a miasma?" Chu Junyue had met in the forest when he had fought in Xishu, when countless soldiers died there, and he was also injured because of the impact, so he had a particularly deep memory of the characteristics of the miasma.
Ning Ke raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's right, this is miasma! Generally speaking, in hot places, the poisonous gas generated by animals and plants in the forest after decaying will easily be infected with germs in such an environment, and eventually die of illness." ”
In the cognition of ancient people, miasma is the qi of demons, which will be fatal. But they don't know that it is not the miasma that kills people, but the germs contained in the miasma, or mosquitoes and the like, and once a person is contaminated, he will be replaced with malaria and eventually die.
In ancient times, when medical technology was backward, malaria was almost a terminal disease with no cure, but in modern times, it is not difficult.
The more Chu Junyue looked at her with confidence, he knew that she already had a countermeasure, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke'er, I will fully cooperate with you in whatever you want to do." ”
"No, I don't. Ning Ke gave him some of the things he had just bought from the town, "This is coix seed, and it can be lightened to get rid of miasma after taking it." ”
"This thing can?" Chu Junyue was a little incredulous, such a simple medicine could have such a great use.
Ning Ke ate it himself, "Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and no matter how humble things are, it is possible to resist the most noble." For example, when a handsome man meets a pawn, he will die the same!"
She has a lot of strange words on weekdays, but Chu Junyue is used to it, he smiled and ate it without hesitation.
Trapped the realgar and atractylodes into torches and burned them, one person took one, and Ning Ke threw the medicine bag to Chu Junyue to ward off mosquitoes, and after ensuring that nothing went wrong, the two of them dismounted and went to the Ghost Valley.
At the bottom of the Ghost Valley is a pond and marsh, on which are the corroded remains of countless plants and animals, the smell of corrosion and fish, and above the head is a large area of gray miasma.
Chu Junyue used light skills to drag Ning Ke's hand across the pond with one hand, and the gray miasma above his head also chased after him, as if he could recognize people.
"Xiao Ke'er, this is not a miasma!"
Ning Ke glanced up and smiled, "There is miasma, but it is mosquitoes that are chasing us." ”
The most common thing in the rainforest is nothing more than mosquitoes, people who go into the jungle are not poisoned by miasma, but infected by the virus carried by mosquitoes and die of malaria!
Fortunately, she carried mosquito repellent medicine, and even if she followed, she didn't dare to approach. Even if she contracted malaria, she could be cured.
Either way, she's sure enough to get out alive!
Walking all the way, the more you go to the bottom, the more the miasma becomes, making it almost impossible to breathe, Ning Ke doesn't know martial arts, it will be a little harder, Chu Jun saw her discomfort, and slowly conveyed the true qi to her with his palm.
"Are you better?"
Ning Ke nodded, "I'm fine, you hurry up." ”
"Hold on to me. As soon as Chu Junyue's words fell, he suddenly increased his speed, and flew like thunder and lightning.
The strong wind was fierce, pulling the hair straight at all, and Ning Ke couldn't open his eyes, so he could only squint and look for traces of the rejuvenation fruit in the rich miasma.
According to Liu Xueqiong's Codex, the rejuvenation fruit should be grown in the most dense miasma and the dirtiest and most rotten places in the ponds and marshes.
Now, she and Chu Junyue are almost to the end, and the things in front of them are no longer clear to see, and the rich rotten and fishy smell in the miasma is disgusting, she can only endure the discomfort, and her eyes are quickly looking for it in the gray miasma.
However, all the way around, nothing was found.
Ning Ke was physically exhausted, cold sweat was dripping, and he once thought that he had run to the wrong place.
At that moment, a faint touch of red appeared in his vision.
"There!" Ning Ke exclaimed with great joy.
Chu Junyue followed her voice and looked, but didn't see anything, "Where? I didn't see it." ”
Ning Ke blinked, and when he looked over again, he was really gone.
"What's going on?
Chu Junyue found a stone at the edge of the pond and barely landed on his feet, he glanced at the spacious and deep pond with his eyebrows, and frowned, "Are you sure you really saw it just now?"
Ning Ke nodded affirmatively, "Yes! I'm sure I'm not mistaken! I did see something red!"
"According to you, it's supposed to be a rejuvenation fruit, but it moves? Chu Junyue said.
"Strange indeed. Ning Ke nodded and said, "But no matter what, we have to hurry up and find it, and then go out, otherwise when night falls, the miasma in the forest will be even stronger, and our medicine will not be able to resist the miasma!"
"Well, you wait for me here!" Chu Junyue let her grab the vine next to her, flew out, and waved her arms fiercely.
"Boom!" the pond shook violently from his internal force, as if a volcano had erupted, and the bottom kept gushing out of foul-smelling and rotting silt. Ning Ke's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly saw some huge long object hovering in the mud, and she was shocked, "There is a giant python! Watch out for you!"
Chu Junyue turned his head coldly, raised his hand and slapped it again, the giant python just shook it, as if tickling, and suddenly swung its tail, and it was about to be thrown at him.
At that moment, Ning Ke suddenly discovered that there was a red thing in the belly of the giant python, the size of a fist.
She was surprised and delighted, the rejuvenation fruit!
But why does it grow in it? Isn't the rejuvenation fruit supposed to grow on plants? How can it be in the body of a python?
Ning Ke thought about it and understood, just like the Cordyceps sinensis that modern people most often hear, winter insects are buried in the soil, and summer grass will grow from the insects' bodies, and then become a precious medicinal material!
Chu Junyue shuttled and fought between the giant python in the mud, his movements were sensitive, and the giant python would avoid every attack, and over time, the giant python seemed to know that he was not easy to deal with, and instead forced Ning Ke.
"Xiao Ke'er, get out of the way!" Chu Jun drank more and more.
However, Ning Ke will never work lightly, there is no place to move under his feet, the giant python moves extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is forced in front of her with a bloody mouth.
It was too late for her to escape, and the poison needle was useless, and she was in danger in an instant.
Chu Junyue's eyes cracked, he roared, flew over, grabbed the tail of the giant python blatantly, pulled and pulled, and the giant python several feet long was thrown into the air by his bare hands.
"Now!" he snapped.
Ning Ke's eyes were quick, and with a wave of his hand, countless poisonous needles flew out and fell into the giant python's acupoint.
"Hiss!" The giant python was in pain, screamed fiercely, and flicked its tail violently, Chu Junyue was thrown into the air together, but he didn't let go, the tiger's mouth was shaken open and the blood was dripping, he didn't care, he freed up a hand and wiped it on his waist, and the slender soft sword was cold, and it was brazenly inserted into the head of the giant python.
The python hissed in pain, twitched and softened, and fell into the pond with a thud.
Ning Ke was overjoyed, stepped on the body of the giant python and walked over, pulled out the dagger with one hand, and neatly dissected the giant python, and took out the extremely precious rejuvenation fruit.
"We succeeded!" she laughed happily and raised her head towards Chu Jun.
Chu Junyue looked at her heartfelt smile, his deep eyes also lit up, he silently wiped the blood on his hands, and said casually: "It's time for us to go out, I'm afraid there are other monsters here." ”
"Hmm!"
The two of them returned the same way, much smoother than when they came just now, but as soon as they came out of the valley, Chu Junyue stumbled and suddenly fell to the ground.
"Chu Junyue, what's wrong with you!"
