The hall master turned his head and gave his hand a look, and the subordinate hesitated for a moment, but still led Shen Qianshan and Gu Yan through the corridor to the higher peaks behind.

Walking through the long corridor and stopping in front of a wall and a quaint closed gate, his subordinates finally couldn't help but say: "Two, to be honest, you don't have to go and collect the medicine yourself, there are some of the Suxin Grass in our hall, as long as you talk to the master of the same hall, he should give it, you don't know how difficult the road behind this is when you open the door." ”

The reluctance on the face of the subordinate seemed to be that after these two people went in, there would be no chance to come out.

Gu Yan turned her head and smiled faintly at the subordinate, and said, "Even if you say it well, your hall master may not be able to give it to us, since we have already walked here, we can only go in." ”

The subordinate lowered his head and handed one of the herbs in his hand to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan took it, this is a very good-looking grass, a total of three leaves, each leaf has a small round hole, it is easy to recognize.

The subordinates said to Gu Yan and Shen Qianshan: "Su Xincao likes the place where the tide is liked, and it can often be seen at the water's edge, so you can follow the road to find a place with water." Be careful. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, Shen Qianshan and Gu Yan took out a torch from the fire next to them and entered the door.

At this time, it was already late at night, after entering through the gate, he re-entered the mountain, the winding mountain road, obviously there were already a lot of people walking in it, since this herb was precious, it was naturally not easy to find, Shen Qianshan grabbed Gu Yan's hand, for fear that the darkness around her would make her afraid.

But Gu Yan didn't show the slightest bit of fear, her expression was focused and confident.

Shen Qianshan said to Gu Yan: "You don't actually need to come in, this king can be alone, if you are put outside, this king can be more assured." ”

Gu Yan shook her head and said to Shen Qianshan: "Lord Wang, this time I plan to pick a little more Suxin grass, but I don't want to give them the 100,000 taels of silver." ”

After Shen Qianshan heard Gu Yan's words, he turned his head and looked at her in a little surprise, this 100,000 taels of silver is nothing to him, if he can avoid detours by giving money, he doesn't mind paying the money very happily.

But Gu Yan didn't think so, the hall master made it clear that he wanted to trap them, even if he gave money, he might not be able to send the Suxin grass up, otherwise he wouldn't send them in and let them pick it themselves.

If Gu Yan got the Suxin Grass, it was entirely her own credit, why did she have to give Su Xindian money?

Gu Yan didn't explain too much. Because it was already dark, the road was deep and shallow, and the torch in her hand was very bright, shining everything around, and it was said that the grass liked to grow in damp places, especially near the water, and from here she could already hear the sound of the murmuring water, not far or near, and probably needed to walk a little more.

Shen Qianshan already understood what Gu Yan meant, in fact, he also had this intention, but it was a little troublesome to bring her there.

The silence around was a little scary, the cries of small insects were very unreal, the moon hid in the high sky behind the big trees, the moon was as cold as water, the torches crackled from time to time in the dark, and the shadows of the two were stretched very long.

Finally walked in the direction of the sound of water, Gu Yan and Shen Qianshan pushed aside the grass in front of them, and a small waterhole appeared in front of them at dusk, above which was a small waterfall, and the water flowing down from the waterfall hit the waterhole, making a loud sound, but it was not harsh.

The moonlight shone in this pool, shining like a mirror, Shen Qianshan and Gu Yan stood on the edge of the pool for a long time, and both of them did not speak quietly.

After a while, Shen Qianshan turned his head and said to Gu Yan, "Be careful." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around with his torch to look for herbs, and Gu Yan also took the torch, squatted down and began to look for herbs inch by inch.

Looking for herbs at night was simply tormenting, and Gu Yan felt that her eyes were not her own. But the hard work paid off, Gu Yan found one on a raised stone platform, it seems that this heart grass is all long in pieces, after finding one, he immediately found several more, so Gu Yan followed this herb farther and farther.

After Gu Yan had already picked a lot, she suddenly looked up, only to find that she was too far away from Shen Qianshan.

Turning his head and looking around, Gu Yan didn't see the familiar firelight, and was a little nervous in his heart, at this time, there seemed to be some sound in the grass next to him, if you listen carefully, the sound can't be heard clearly at all, rustling like something across the grass, making people's scalp tingle.

Gu Yan put the herbs on her back, put the torch in front to block her body, and stood there, unable to move.

I wonder what the sound is, is it a beast or just the wind, or is it the sound of a beast looking for a man?

Sweep the torch to the place where the sound came from, and there was a bush of grass, and a few large trees, the trees were luxuriant, and there was no light at this time, and the leaves were all black.

When the torch flashed, Gu Yan's eyes caught something shiny and flashed by.

The glitter of the sequins was familiar, like ......

Gu Yan shone the torch to that place again, and when she looked at it again, her scalp suddenly went numb, the reason why this was because the impression of sequins had already appeared in her mind the moment she shone it, which was the reflection of the scales of a big black snake.

Just a photo, Gu Yan took two steps back, and through the illumination of the torch, the black big snake with a thick bowl mouth hovered over a tree that was not too thick, and the branches were crumbling, as if it could not bear the weight of the big snake and could fall down at any time.

Because there was still some distance, Gu Yan's torch did not shine on all of the big snake, and he didn't even find the head of the big snake, so he didn't know if the head of the big snake had come to him at this time.

The sweat on her hands and back came out at once, and Gu Yan had been desperately retreating, but the range of her movements could not be too large, for fear that her movements would attract the fatal pounce of the big black snake.

Gu Yan bit her lip, the light of the torch illuminated the surroundings, and behind her was a bottomless pool, she was afraid, if she didn't notice the existence of the big snake, maybe she would have been in a different place at this time.

At this time, Gu Yan didn't even think of going to Shen Qianshan in the first place, but was going to find a safe location.

The torch was already a little unstable, the torch in Gu Yan's hand was crooked, and it almost fell, and at that moment, a huge black snake head suddenly rose up, in the shadows that she couldn't see.

Gu Yan felt that the hairs on her whole body were about to stand up, and when she shone the torch in that direction, she saw the head of the big snake raised, spitting out a letter, her yellow eyes looked at her in a daze, her raised head and body were seven feet high, very domineering, but in Gu Chang's eyes, it was like a nightmare.

Barely keeping her composure, she knew that the torch in her hand was the only thing that could protect her.

Don't think about others to save you when it's critical, and of course you have to do it yourself to protect yourself.

Although Gu Yan felt very nervous and scared, she didn't flinch, at this time, she couldn't run away from the big black snake, just when she kept retreating back, suddenly the big snake that had not moved seemed to have seen her, and rushed towards her.

A gust of wind, the snake attacked Gu Yan like lightning, at that moment, she neither screamed nor nervous, and used the torch in her hand to resist the attack of the big snake, the big snake didn't expect the torch to be very hot, so he hissed and shrunk his neck, and no longer dared to attack rashly.

Gu Yan then stepped back, holding the torch tightly in her hand, facing the big snake, but she didn't know how to escape, the big snake was like a sculpture, looking at Gu Yan directly, until she finally couldn't help it, put the torch at the big snake, and then moved in the direction of the waterhole, although it was night, the road was not very easy to walk, but the sound of water could be heard, and it was not very difficult to move.

After taking two steps, Gu Yan's corner of her eyes found that the big black snake was no longer where she was before, she was clever, and only then did she find that the big snake was standing on her own way, just standing, like a person, circling with her.

It seems that she can't get around the big snake today, just when she hasn't figured out how to walk past the big snake, the big snake launched an attack, Gu Yan instantly froze, and the same torch was blocked in front of her, at this time, a black shadow flew up from behind the big snake, the shadow moved quickly, and then kicked hard behind the big snake, the big snake didn't seem to expect that there could be someone behind him, and he devoted himself to attacking Gu Yan.

Then the serpent collapsed with a bang, and then the black shadow jumped on the serpent's back, and stabbed it in the neck with something, and because of the pain, the serpent writhed its tail in pain, and the tail of steel swept away all the trees around it.

Gu Yan hurriedly retreated behind a big stone, and the tail of the black snake flung on the big stone, and it turned out to be dusty.

Finally, the serpent struggled for a full quarter of an hour and stopped moving.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, the east was white, Gu Yan extinguished his torch, Shen Qianshan jumped down from the big snake, and stood in front of Gu Yan, with a cold face and very angry.

"Why didn't you call me when you encountered this situation?" Shen Qianshanzai looked at Gu Yan's body carefully, as if he was looking for whether she was injured, and after seeing that she was well, he was finally relieved.

"I don't have to do anything, I've almost picked the herbs, we should go back, right?" Gu Yan's hands were still clenched into fists, and her palms were full of sweat, and after saying this, she slowly reacted and wiped her sweat.

It's fake to say that you're not afraid, the big snake just looks at it and feels infiltrating, not to mention that Gu Yan is just a powerless woman.

Shen Qianshan took all the herbs on Gu Yan's back and put them behind his back, and said to her, "How are we going to get out?" ”

Turning his head to look around, the surroundings looked exactly the same, and he couldn't find his way to the place he came.
