Chapter 29: Adventures in the Snow (3)
Because it is about to enter autumn, the snow in Yulong Mountain is not too thick, but it is still chilly, and it makes people stiffen their muscles and bones after a short time.
I heard that most of the thousand leaf lotuses grow on the cliffs, if you are not a person with excellent light skills, I am afraid that it is out of reach. But if you look closely, it is not the sweetheart that thousands of people want.
The medicinal value of the Chiba Lotus is special, it is not very popular, and it is very rare to use the introduction of the Chiba Lotus for minor illnesses and major diseases, even if there is, most of them can be replaced by other medicinal materials, and it takes a lot of effort to obtain it, and the doctors tacitly classify it as a useless category.
And those who have the ability to obtain the Chiba Lotus are even more disdainful of coming all the way to pick such a lotus, so in the market, the Chiba Lotus is relatively rare and rare.
Yuan Qi and Yu Zijin walked deep and shallow, thinking of the purpose of this trip, Yuan Qi suddenly asked seriously, "By the way, do you know what Qianye Lotus looks like?" ”
Yu Zijin was slightly stunned, and was asked. In this way, it seems that since he came out of Yuan's Mansion, all he has been thinking about is how to go to Jade Dragon Mountain and other process issues, and until this moment, he has not thought about what this Thousand Leaf Lotus looks like.
"I ...... I don't know. Yu Zijin pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment and laughed.
Yuan Qi looked shocked, his eyes widened, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he didn't have a good breath, "Then you originally planned to come to this Jade Dragon Mountain by yourself, did you come to die?" ”
"Isn't it that you're here, don't care about those details." Yu Zijin knew that he was wrong, he was originally here for this Thousand Leaf Lotus, but in the end, he never paid attention to the true face of this Thousand Leaf Lotus, wouldn't it be a trip in vain.
But fortunately, Yuan Qi, a native of the Northern Plains, is here, and he can be regarded as having a hand, so he will not lose his money.
"I don't know what Chiba Lotus looks like." Yuan Qi's face was taken for granted, but when he saw Yu Zijin's expression change slightly, his smile suddenly froze, and he stopped vividly.
Thinking that Yu Zijin was going to make fun of himself again, Yuan Qi immediately took the lead and said confidently, "Otherwise, why would I ask you!" ”
Both of them stopped, glaring at each other, but after a while, a tacit cough broke the silence, and then they both smiled with relief.
"Chiba lotus, as the name suggests, isn't it just a flower with many leaves?" Yuan Qi put away his smile and said seriously. It seems that Fang Cai's appearance of not knowing what Chiba Lotus is like is just an illusion of others
"yes, isn't it just a flower that grows on a cliff wall and has a lot of leaves?" Yu Zijin also made a stiff face and added in a deep voice.
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, Yuan Qi familiarly put his hand on Yu Zijin's shoulder, and dragged her forward, "Let's go!" ”
On the other hand, the other two figures followed not far away, one of them swept forward as if unintentionally, and the other followed cautiously behind him with lowered eyes, which was in stark contrast to the fight in front of him.
Shi Rong only felt a cold aura roaring from his side, sweeping every inch of skin around him. It seems that even the cold storm and snow in the northern plains can't compare to this sudden cold atmosphere.
About two hours later, Yu Zijin and Yuan Qi walked to a cave, and after a long journey, Yu Zijin was inevitably a little physically exhausted. The tip of his nose was red from the wind, but his cheeks were slightly white, and he tried to stabilize his body, panting.
Yuan Qi waved his sleeves to sweep away the snow covering the rocks, and motioned for Yu Zijin to sit down and rest for a while.
"I'm fine." Yu Zijin adjusted his breath and pulled a smile at Yuan Qi.
"If you want to sit, you can sit, grind and chirp." Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and patted Yu Zijin's head, and sighed helplessly. With his hands around her shoulders, he pressed her against the rocks that had been temporarily removed from the snow, so that she could not refuse again.
"To tell you the truth, I'm tired, ah, after walking so far, why haven't I seen that Chiba Lian." Yuan Qi was afraid that Yu Zijin would feel uncomfortable and think that he would be holding him back, so he teased in a joking tone. Then he lazily walked to the side of the high mountain rock and sat down, stretched out his hands and feet, and stretched his muscles and bones, as if he was really tired.
Yu Zijin sat on the rock, raised his eyes to look at Yuan Qi who was smiling silly, his heart was slightly warm, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he smiled at him. It's not that she doesn't understand his careful thinking, it's just a tacit understanding between the two of them that they don't say anything on their faces.
Yuan Qi was a little stunned for a moment, not as charming or gentle as an ordinary woman, Yu Zijin's smile was like a sunflower, which could capture people's hearts even more. It seems that on the outskirts of Baicheng that day, when she saw Yu Zijin groping for escape in the night, her obsidian-like eyes deeply attracted her attention.
He was born in the imperial court, in the bright palace of the Northern Plains, and since he was a child, he has been exposed to the deceit of his brothers and officials around him. Those people, who have long been blackened by power, are just a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing, even if they show their innocent faces, they still can't hide their wolf-like hearts.
But he had never seen such clean eyes, clean, like a pinch of ice from the snowy mountains.
It wasn't until he got along later that he discovered her intelligence, chivalry, kindness, and the distressing vigilance that was forced and had to grow up.
Or fate, Yu Zijin is like another self, breaking into his life. She will also be like herself, secretly running out of the house to play, and she also yearns to go to the rivers and lakes, hoping to leave the wings of her family. She has a righteous heart, does not want to trouble others, has a resilient and fearless heart, and does not want to give in to life.
If they could, they might be able to become confidants.
"Look! That's not Chiba Ren! A gust of cold wind blew, and Yu Zijin immediately tightened the big haze on his body, and was about to retract his gaze, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a strange white lotus embedded in the stone wall above the cave.
Under the reflection of the snow, the white lotus seems to be shrouded in a touch of brilliance, and the thin petals are gathered in the center, resembling the "flower on the other side", swaying the figure.
Yuan Qi came back to his senses, followed Yu Zijin's line of sight, was slightly surprised, and thought slightly in his heart, "It should be, you wait." With that, with the help of the boulder raised in front of the cave, he swept upward.
Where Yuan Qi borrowed strength, gravel kept rolling down, and from a distance, it seemed that he might step on the air at any time.
"Be careful, I'm not responsible for stumbling." Yu Zijin frowned and raised his voice.
"Don't worry." After speaking, Yuan Qi was only an arm's length away from Qianye Lian, and with a wave of his hand, he firmly grasped it in his hand, "Got it!" ”
Yu Zijin stood up excitedly, "Then you come down quickly." ”
The two seemed to be immersed in joy, not noticing the approaching hissing on the side. Yu Zijin suddenly felt that something seemed to be pricked at his ankle, but he didn't bother to check it, and still looked at Yuan Qi who was staying on the cliff with concern.
"Jin'er!" As soon as Lin Xiao arrived, he saw a small green snake spitting out a letter, wrapped around Yu Zijin's ankle, biting into the flesh, and hurriedly called out.
Subconsciously, he snatched towards her, and his fingertips held a silver needle at some point, and waved it towards the green snake. Due to being pricked by a needle, the green snake was in pain, let go of Yu Zijin's ankle, and fled.
As if he didn't expect Lin Xiao to appear suddenly, Yu Zijin looked surprised, but before he could react, his head was meaty, his legs were weak, and he fell towards the cliff.
Lin Xiao was suddenly shocked when she saw this, and quickly stepped forward to stop Yu Zijin's waist, stopped her downward trend, and hugged it steadily.
"Xiao Ran!" Yuan Qi was also shocked by what was happening in front of him, although he was worried about Yu Zijin, he had to look at the man who appeared in front of him. When did he appear, he didn't find out at all, coupled with the speed at which he rescued Yu Zijin just now, I am afraid that the martial arts of the people who came are above him.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qi's whole body became vigilant, "Who are you?" Let her go! Landing steadily in front of the cave, he put away his smile and looked at Lin Xiao vigilantly.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao didn't say a word, completely ignored Yuan Qi, who was anxious in front of him, hugged Yu Zijin horizontally, and walked down the mountain.
"Hey, Xiao Ran was injured by a poisonous snake, so it's not appropriate to move immediately!" Yuan Qi hurriedly followed, but before he could get close to Lin Xiao, he was stopped by a black shadow.
Shi Rong tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand and placed the scabbard horizontally in front of Yuan Qi.
"Get out of the way!" Yuan Qi's face was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, you have been offended." After speaking, Shi Rong flipped his wrist and drew his sword and came out to meet Yuan Qi.
In fact, Shi Rong was not sure that he could be better than the young man in front of him, but when he saw Lin Xiao's cold expression, his heart suddenly understood. When Fang Cai followed behind the two, he found that Lin Xiao's face was not good, and even the atmosphere was condensed to a freezing point, seeing this at this time, he must not want Yuan Qi to follow, as a subordinate, he could only be ordered to stop.
Yuan Qi frowned slightly, because he didn't want the sword blade to hurt the Qianye Lotus in his hand, he couldn't fully unleash his fists and kicks, and the two were inseparable for a while, sticking to each other.
Inside the compartment on the second floor of the Hidden Snow Pavilion.
"Fortunately, the white phoenix jade ring is here, otherwise after this trek, the county lord is afraid that he will be poisoned into the bone marrow and will not be treated." A middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns stood in front of the bed, checking Yu Zijin's pulse with one hand and stroking the mustache on his chin with the other.
If you take a closer look, you will find that this person is the shopkeeper that Yu Zijin and Yuan Qi met in the Zangxue Pavilion.
"How can I detoxify." Lin Xiao stood coldly beside him, his brows furrowed.
"It's strange, in addition to the 'Cangming Gu' in the county body, there seems to be something else in the county that is restraining each other with snake venom, so from this point of view, it is not very tricky." Yao Lao pondered for a moment in his heart, and said slowly, "Just use the Thousand Leaf Lotus as a guide to solve these two poisons." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a fierce fighting sound from outside the door, and the surrounding equipment cracked in response to the sound, and it was impossible to open the conversation.
"Shi Rong, let him in." Lin Xiao regained his coldness again and said in a deep voice. As if there was a penetrating power, even if Lin Xiao didn't deliberately raise his voice, his voice could still be clearly transmitted outside the door.
Hearing Lin Xiao's internal force transmission, Shi Rong slowly retracted his sword momentum, and when the last piece of broken porcelain fell to the ground, the sound of fighting stopped instantly.
"Master." Shi Rong withdrew his long sword, walked in front of Lin Xiao, and leaned over slightly to clench his fists.
