Chapter Ninety-Eight: Asking for Directions
I saw Phi Xing walk over and fold her messy quilt like a dog kennel lightly.
The corners of Cao Zhijin's mouth twitched, and he cleared his throat, "Don't make trouble, I have something to ask you for help!" β
"Tell me about it!"
Cao Zhijin looked at him and said, "I want you to come with me to find the second medicinal herb that saved you, Songzi!"
"I'm a patient!" Phi Xing said proudly.
Cao Zhijin almost vomited blood! - What is there to be proud of?
She ruthlessly dismantled him: "Since taking calendula lucidum, most of the toxins in your body have been cleaned up by calendula lucidum, and now you are full of physical strength!"
"Miss, didn't you say you wanted to save me?" Phi Xing teased.
Cao Zhijin retorted to him: "I want to save you, but I didn't say that I won't ask you for help!"
Phi Xing looked at her for a while and said, "Say, where are you going to find Songzi?"
She could get her hands on such a rare medicinal material as calendula lucidum by herself, but this time she asked him for help?
Phi Xing knows that this pine is definitely not simple!
"Medicine Mountain outside Xianji City!" Cao Zhijin replied.
Pi Xing said: "There are indeed medicinal materials in that medicine mountain, but they are all invaluable medicinal materials."
"Have you ever been to Medicine Mountain?" Cao Zhijin asked.
Pi Xing shook his head and glanced at her: "No, but I don't want to run this trip in vain!"
Cao Zhijin said: "We won't run in vain, let's go find out the news first!"
Cao Zhijin took the Phi Xing to the village under the medicine mountain.
When I entered the village, I still met the old man who was sitting under the eaves and weaving a bamboo basket.
Cao Zhijin walked over and asked kindly, "Old man, have you heard of Songzi?" Or who in your village has seen it? β
The old man didn't even raise his head, nor did he make any response, as if Cao Zhijin was air!
Standing in the distance, he didn't walk with Cao Zhijin, and Phi Xing was suddenly happy!
Laughing at her, he said, "That's how you found out the news?"
Cao Zhijin's face was wrinkled, it was for the stars!
She already knew it before she came here, but whenever this old man spoke, she could more or less get some information, but she couldn't help but ignore her at all!
She remembered the last time Nanxing came to the village, so she only said to the old man, "Songzi!"
The old man finally spoke, he slowly raised his head and looked at Cao Zhijin and said, "Girl, go home!" β
What does that mean?
Cao Zhijin was still thinking about it, but he didn't notice that the Phi Xing in the distance suddenly smiled, and walked over quickly and said a nonsensical word to the old man.
"Lang Lang Qiankun, each holding one, pedestrians on the road, life and death return to heaven!"
When the old man heard this, he put down the work in his hand, stood up and looked at the stars and said: "The secluded valley is full of fog, and there is no way to go, so raise your eyes and look at the way of life."
As the words fell, he sat down and continued to do his work, as if the person who had just said this was not him.
"Let's go!" Phi Xingdao.
Cao Zhijin was confused: "But I didn't get any useful information!"
"I already know where Songzi is, come with me!" Phi Xing walked up the mountain along the mountain road in the village.
Cao Zhijin hurriedly followed.
"How do you know?"
Phi Xing looked back at her and asked, "Did you already see that there was Songzi here?"
Cao Zhijin nodded and said, "I just guessed a little, Songzi likes dark and damp places, and likes soft red soil. Look at your feet! β
Phi Xing lifted his shoes, the mountains were dewy, and the mountain roads were always muddy, although the soles of his shoes were covered with a layer of yellow soil, but there was a little red mud mixed with the surface of this yellow soil.
In other words, under the yellow clay on the surface of the earth is red clay!
There are not many places with such soil!
Cao Zhijin said: "Not all mountains can grow herbs with medicinal value, I asked Nanxing before, what herbs are collected by most of the medicinal farmers here." From the herbs collected by the herbs, as well as the soil and environment here, I can roughly deduce that pine tree may grow here, but as for where it grows, I don't know! β
"I've answered your question, and you haven't told me how you know where Songzi is?"
"Secluded valley, foggy, no road, raise your eyes to see the way of life." Repeating the riddle the old man said, "That's what I know from this sentence." β
"What does that mean?" Cao Zhijin asked.
"I don't know the specifics yet, but the old man gave us a hint, the valley is secluded, and the fog is heavy. First we have to find the valley and the foggy place! β
Cao Zhijin looked around, this mountain does not necessarily have a valley, and there is no fog around them now!
"Go up high and take a look!" Phi Xing continued to walk upward.
There is no way to walk, and you can look up at the way of life.
That is to say, the road that can be walked is on it, on the contrary, they can only see and find clues when they find a high place!
"What do you mean by that passage you just said? Lang Lang Qiankun, each holding one, pedestrians on the road, life and death return to heaven! Cao Zhijin asked as he walked with him.
Phi Xing replied, "It's a code word of agreement. A long time ago, there were many treasure hunters in Wenren Country, and they asked for directions on the way to treasure hunting, and those who knew about it could not bear to watch them go to death in good faith, so they would not tell them the truth. At this time, they will say this kind of code language, first, to express their firm determination, and secondly, to clear up the relationship with the insider, saying that although the road is what you told me, but my own choice, life and death have nothing to do with you! β
"Later, this code word was used in all walks of life, and it can be regarded as the key to unlocking the secret!"
Cao Zhijin didn't know how to ask for directions, there were so many doorways!
If you think about it carefully, what if the people in Xianji City knew that there were pine trees in Yaoshan?
At that time, many idiots will come to this mountain, and moths will be buried in this mountain!
The people outside will also intrigue over this, and a war that will only intensify without gunpowder smoke will be like a thick haze over Xianji City...... The laughter and laughter dissipated, and the prosperity of the past was no longer ......
Cao Zhijin came back to his senses.
"Then how can you be sure that the old man can understand the code?" Cao Zhijin asked again.
Phi Xing turned his head and rolled his eyes at her: "Girl, I think you are too stupid and anxious, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, try it!"
"You're lying!" Cao Zhijin said that he didn't believe it, but he already believed most of it in his heart.
Although she doesn't think she's stupid, the possibility of trying it also exists!
Seeing that she was naΓ―ve again, her head hurt!
In fact, he heard the old man persuade her to go home, isn't this exactly the same as those who know where the treasure is, but are reluctant to tell the passer-by because of kindness?
Phi Xing's feet slipped, and he frowned and stood still.
"Wait a minute!" Cao Zhijin stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Cao Zhijin looked around and said, "It's weird!" Start here......"
She pointed to the place where his feet had fallen and said, "From here on, the soil here is different from the bottom of the mountain!" Just in case ......"
She pulled out a bottle and a sachet from the small cloth bag she had tied to her waist before leaving the house.
