Chapter Seventy-Two: Formation
"White Dome Grass? Hey, that's not what I'm talking about," he sighed, as if he was scared.
"A while ago, we came here with a group of people, saying that they wanted to collect this medicine, some of them sold it, some of them didn't want to sell it, they rushed into people's houses and burned all the things."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luanju all fell into silence.
They originally came here for the herbs, but they didn't expect that the things they thought were easy to buy would be destroyed by people who came in advance.
Lin Zuiliu's brows furrowed, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Do you know what kind of group of people it is?" ”
He thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head, "It's nothing special, wearing ordinary clothes, oh! It's the same as what you're wearing, and I don't know which country it's from, alas, we don't care about the realm, and we have to endure what happens, so what should we do? ”
Nodding, Lin Zuiliu didn't speak again, and a few people waited silently for the proprietress to bring them food, and after eating in a hurry, Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan went upstairs to the room.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Drunken Liu said to Liao Luan what he had just thought, "Yan Gui, I think this is extraordinary!" ”
Liao Luan nodded, "Ah Liu also thinks something is wrong?" ”
"Yes, this White Dome Herb is not a medicinal herb for treating incurable diseases, and it is not a difficult thing to find here, but it must be unusual for someone to come and destroy all the medicinal materials."
"You mean, they're coming for us?" Liao Luan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Lin Zuiliu waved his hand, lay on the table and said dejectedly, "I can't say for sure, but I always feel it." Does anyone know about this? ”
"After all, the Queen Mother's body is ......"
After she said this, both of them stopped talking in frustration, the queen mother's condition was urgent, and they really couldn't keep dragging their feet here.
"Let's go and ask where there may be White Dome Grass, someone will keep the herbs, and they can't all be destroyed."
Liao Luan pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Let's go." With that, he got up and went out.
"Ahh Let's go now? I haven't warmed up yet, it's so cold outside, let's go back tomorrow. ”
"The thought of going out to face the biting cold wind outside, I am about to lose hope in life, Yan Gui ......"
Lin Zuiliu's aggrieved appearance pleased Liao Luan, he bent the corners of his mouth, put a fist on his lips with one hand, and laughed loudly for a while, then he cleared his throat and said, "Ah Liu, the Queen Mother, she ......."
The Queen Mother's illness is urgent, she understands.
Lin Zuiliu sighed, stood up dejectedly, moved to Liao Luan's side, and then said, "I know ......, let's go, Yan Gui." ”
Liao Luan didn't hold back, rubbed Lin Zuiliu's head again, and only smiled when she grinned like a fried cat, and pulled Lin Zuiliu downstairs.
Downstairs, two children were sitting on a stool playing, the woman was wiping the table they had just eaten, and the middle-aged man was settling accounts behind the counter.
Liao Luan walked straight up to the talkative middle-aged man and said, "Shopkeeper, there's something I want to ask below." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he put down the brush in his hand and said enthusiastically, "What's the matter, sir, you ask?" ”
"The White Dome Grass...... Do you know where else or who else might have this herb? ”
Hearing this question, the middle-aged man shook his head, "It's impossible, from the streets to the alleys, everyone has been swept away by that group of people, it's impossible." ”
What he said was firm, but it made Lin Zuiliu find a loophole.
"Just coming to this town? Will there be anyone else who has it elsewhere? After all, it's not an ordinary medicinal herb, and it's possible that other people are ......"
"That's right, that's right!" Before Lin Zuiliu finished speaking, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened excitedly, looking at the two of them, which startled Lin Zuiliu.
The woman glared at him angrily, "You are always making a fuss and startling us. ”
He waved his hand absently, and then looked at Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan excitedly, "There is an old man living in the forest in front, and his temper is very strange without children and daughters, you can go over and ask, he always comes down the mountain to collect medicinal herbs." ”
This is a big breakthrough.
Lin Zuiliu's whole mood improved, she grinned and looked at Liao Luan, Liao Luan was also a little happy, and asked the specific location of the shopkeeper carefully, and the two of them didn't call Guanyan, they rode out of the town directly and went up the mountain.
There was still no popularity along the way, probably because they were frightened by the wave of people who came last time, and all the doors were closed, Liao Luan and Lin Zuiliu went up to the mountain that the shopkeeper said, and there was indeed a pine tree and banyan forest on the mountain.
The forest was very large, and when they entered the forest, they dismounted and walked towards the east.
However, after going around for a long time, there was still a group of forests around him, and there was no change at all, Liao Luan's brows became tighter and tighter, and Lin Zuiliu realized that something was wrong.
"Yan Gui, have we been here before?"
She asked this because she also said that the pine tree in front of her looked like a cloud, and Liao Luan also laughed at her.
When she appeared for the second time, Lin Zuiliu could still comfort herself and say that there were so many trees in the forest, she should be confused.
However, this was the third time, and no matter how stupid she was, she felt that things were starting to get a little evil.
Lin Zuiliu didn't stand still, and Liao Luan also stopped, looked at the trees around him, and nodded slowly, which was in response to Lin Zuiliu's words.
In winter, the leaves of the trees have fallen, and the branches of the banyan trees are scattered and forked like monsters with teeth and claws.
Mixed with pine trees, which were still green, they had been circling for nearly two hours, by which time it was already a little dark.
"Are these trees being laid out as a labyrinth?"
Lin Zuiliu didn't know anything about Qimen Dunjia and gossip formations, so he couldn't think of going to that place at all.
Liao Luan ignored her, still frowning and looking around, holding Lin Zuiliu's hand tightly, almost dragging her to pain.
She didn't know what Liao Luan was looking at, and she didn't dare to ask him for fear of disturbing him when she saw him so serious, so the air suddenly became extremely quiet, except for the strange hum of the wind blowing the treetops, there was no other sound.
Lin Zuiliu looked around boredly, followed Liao Luan up and down left and right for a while, and suddenly tripped and fell.
Liao Luan's eyes were quick, and he stretched out his arm and hugged her waist, which stabilized her figure.
Lin Zuiliu looked back in surprise, and then screamed in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Zuiliu pointed to the ground in front of him, his lips trembling and he couldn't speak.
Liao Luan looked down along her arm, and there was a corpse's head on the ground.
There was still minced flesh on the head, blood was paste, and the hair was covered with dirt, sticky together, half buried in the ground, and half exposed to the ground.
"How can it be ...... here?"
They had only walked to this place twice, but they had not seen anything else on the ground, so how could they suddenly trip over a skull.
"That ......" Lin Zuiliu smacked his lips, "It can't be blown out by the wind, or is the corpse having long legs?" ”
Liao Luan......
He cleared his throat, thought for a while, looked at Lin Zuiliu and explained, "Ah Liu, why don't you think about it, maybe the tree was moved, and the body was left behind, and it was revealed." ”
"Are you kidding me, how do trees move, do trees also have long legs?"
After she said this, she looked at Liao Luan and smiled mysteriously at him, and then grabbed the back of her head violently, and pressed forward to kiss her on the head.
"Wait for me here, and remember not to wander around."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zuiliu didn't have time to speak, so Liao Luan was on tiptoe and flew directly up the tree.
He flew left and right, and Lin Zuiliu was dazzled by him.
After a long time, he came down and went directly to Lin Zuiliu, smiling and looking in a good mood.
"I know how to go, Aliu."
As soon as his voice fell, he directly knocked down the banyan tree in front of the left with three people hugging him with his palm.
The big tree fell and made a dull sound, and with this sound, Lin Zuiliu suddenly found himself dazzled.
If she wasn't dazzled, how could she see the trees on both sides moving?
The banyan tree to the left and the pine tree to the right, soon made way for them to be a man-high path.
The smoke was filled, and the far places on the path were buried in the fog and could not be seen really, Liao Luan pulled Lin Zuiliu and walked forward leisurely as if admiring the garden.
Lin Zuiliu has already accepted this person's mentality, and it is so good that it explodes.
Thinking about it, she shuddered, if she hadn't come with Liao Luan, she might have died in the woods and couldn't get out.
Like the big brother who tripped over her just now, maybe she was lucky enough to trip someone else.
Lin Zuiliu thought embarrassedly.
The two of them walked quickly, and a faint shadow faintly appeared in the dense fog in front of them.
It is the shadow of a hut, and the "human" shape of the slope is quite conspicuous.
The two took two more steps, and Liao Luan suddenly stopped his steps and said, "Senior, since you see it, come out." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Where can I be called a senior, a bad old man who has retreated to the mountains and forests."
I couldn't tell where the voice came from, it was everywhere, and Lin Zuiliu cowered and hid behind Liao Luan.
Liao Luan stretched out his hand to hug this little coward, and said loudly, "The seniors can actually put on such a delicate formation, and it is not an exaggeration for the juniors to call you seniors." ”
After he said this, the surroundings immediately fell silent, and after a long while, the old man hahaha said, "Hahaha, good young man, you can't break the formation, and you can directly knock down the old man's formation." ”
As he spoke, the fog around him gradually dispersed, and the surroundings slowly became clearer.
