When the old man named Ding San heard the words, he jumped from the treetops in embarrassment, and almost fell on his heel when he landed. Yan Liwu wanted to help her, but Ding San didn't give her a chance at all, and staggered and crawled to the place where the voice came from and hurried a few steps.

"Master, Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong! I'm going to chop the medicine! ”

Ding Sancheng bowed again and again in fear, knocked on the ground and knocked his head three times, then grabbed the hoe and sickle on the ground and drilled into the woods, and after a while, the sound of tuk-tuk chopping sounded.

Yan Liwu was completely stunned, not knowing whether to follow Ding San over, or to wait in place for the stern master who only heard his voice and did not see his person.

"Who are you?" After a while, Ding San's submissive master finally showed up in one sentence, and he turned out to be a weak-crowned young man with a white face and a bookish atmosphere. The young man looked at Yan Yan for a while, and his long black eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Is it asking for medicine again?" Please go back, Demon Mountain is not a good hall, and it does not send medicine. ”

It can be judged from just this sentence that this young man is definitely a person who is familiar with the demon mountain and the old monster, and he naturally refuses to let go of his worries, and walks a few steps quickly in front of the young man who turned around and wanted to go: "Please stay." I am indeed here to ask for medicine, human life is at stake, if the demon mountain is not a good hall, your Excellency can list the conditions at will, as long as I can do it, I must do it! ”

The young man was entangled, and there was an impatient look on his face: "Demon Mountain doesn't lack anything, and there is no need to open any conditions." If I let you go, you can go, how many chivalrous and brave men have stopped here over the years, what can you do? I just don't want one more life in Demon Mountain. ”

"If I don't even have the courage to try, why should I come here?" Yan Liwu had a paranoid attack, and he refused to get out of the way when he blocked the boy's way, "I must get the ghost python strain, no matter what the price is!" ”

"Y-really, why are there always people who don't know how thick the sky is? I kindly advise you that if you don't appreciate it, then I can't help it, you can go up the mountain with me, but if you want to get the medicine, you have to follow the rules, and whether you can see the old monster depends on your creation. ”

The young man had no choice but to agree to take Yan Liwu up the mountain, this step was far easier than Yan Liwu expected, but the next thing, Yan Liwu really couldn't guess.

When he and Chu Ci parted under the main peak, the weather was already hot and humid, and a heavy rain was brewing in the thick clouds.

"Here, you can't come with me." The young man took out a half-used oil-paper umbrella from the medicine basket behind his back and opened it, hesitated to cover it all over his head, raised his hand and pointed to the side to block the wide ditch, "One of the rules of the demon mountain, whether men, women or children, they must take the path designated by the old monster to enter the mountain, otherwise even if you see him, you won't count." Well, if you want to go up the mountain, you have to wade through this ditch, and it doesn't count if you go anywhere else. ”

Yan Liwu looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and his heart was cold for a moment.

If it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it will never be a problem for her to fight hard to break through, and she won't even blink her brows, but this ditch ...... Don't say it's her, even if a seven-foot man walks aside, he doesn't want to settle down! It's clearly a sewage ditch filled with mud and manure!

Most women love cleanliness, and they can't stand the stench of stolen goods the most, and the same is true when they say they are worried, looking at the stinky ditch that is slowly moving in the rain curtain, a wave of nausea can't stop surging up.

"It's still too late to turn back, and the road ahead is even more difficult." The boy kindly reminded.

The more Yan Liwu cared, the more pungent the smell of the stinky ditch became, and before he could get closer, his hands and feet had begun to feel cold and weak. Rao is like this, he shook his head when he was worried, and clenched his fists with all his might: "I am willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, why am I afraid of a mud ditch?" You go yours and I'll be able to catch up soon. ”

The young man shook his head and sighed, holding an umbrella and taking a step forward from the clean road, leaving Yan Liwu, who had just said a big word, to face the stinky ditch alone.

The ditch is not wide, it is not long, and the depth is up to the knees, in fact, it only takes fifty or sixty steps to reach the opposite bank, but it is naturally difficult to walk through the mud, and it is raining heavily, and it is far more difficult to walk one step in the mud ditch than ten steps on flat ground. Yan Liwu also thought about taking a detour, after all, there was only the young man in front of him, and he didn't look back and walked forward, but Yan Liwu always felt that doing so was gambling with Wen Moshu's life.

People are doing it, the sky is watching, who knows if there are other people staring at other places?

After hesitating in his heart for a long time, the urgency to save Wen Moshu finally gained the upper hand, he gritted his teeth when he was worried, raised his feet high, and stepped into the stinking mud ditch.

The viscous mud binds the legs and feet, the wet stickiness seems to be pulled by countless disgusting hands, and the pungent rancid smell, with the ugliest breath after the death of all things, is everywhere in front and back, left and right, completely enveloping the words and sorrows.

Yan Liwu struggled to move forward with his legs and feet, his hands half-raised, as much as possible to raise the corners of his clothes to prevent them from being stained with rancid sludge - this shirt was specially bought for her by Wen Moqing, he loves to be clean, so she is always very careful to keep it tidy and tidy, never go to dirty and smelly places, if you do that, Wen Moqing will frown and be dissatisfied.

In her life, she had never walked in such a dirty place, and it felt as if she had fallen into a hopeless abyss, and she was so filthy that she felt disgusted.

Aggrieved, depressed, and even when he walked out of the mud ditch, he had no impression.

"Girl?" Hearing a sound of retching behind him, the boy stopped and looked back at the woman who crawled out of the ditch in surprise, "You...... There is a mountain spring in front of you where you can go and rest. ”

Yan Liwu finally waded out of the mud ditch, and as soon as he stepped on the clean road, he bent down and held on to the trunk of the tree and kept retching, eager to vomit his heart, liver and lungs clean, and even a bamboo tube of water handed by the young man kindly vomited in his mouth.

The young man retracted the bamboo tube, and his tone was confused: "Life and death are fate, no one can escape a dead word, why pay a lot to save others?" Over the years, the most drug seekers I have seen are all for themselves, and there are very few who can really ask for medicine for others and can persist until the end, and only those who depend on each other in life and death will do whatever it takes to pay for each other...... Which kind are you? On a whim, or to save a loved one? ”

"Neither." Yan Liwu slowly straightened up with a heavy gasp, leaving a dirty mark on the green grass at the corner of his clothes, "I am here to repay my kindness, and also to make up for it, to the person who treats me the most gently in the world but is hurt the most by me." ”

The young man was stunned for a long time, and shook his head hard: "I don't understand what you said, so I still don't ask." This is just one of the trials, and you'll have to walk through ayahuasca and the miasma forest, which are a hundred times more dangerous than here, and I can't guarantee that you'll be able to convince the old monster to bring the herbs back. It can be regarded as making amends for Ding San's unreasonable offense just now, I will take you to the mountain from the shortest road, so that even if you fail to get the herbs, you can return early, so that you will not be too deeply damaged by the poisonous gas in this mountain. ”

"Gas? How can there be poisonous gas in the mountains? "Words are far from sorrow and surprise.

"I got it to prevent outsiders from coming in casually." The young man was a little helpless, and he was a little closer to Yan Li, and the umbrella he held up covered the top of the two of them, "The old monster doesn't want outsiders to enter the mountain, so he burns spices mixed with Suhe grass all year round, the spices are colorless and tasteless, and anyone who smells too much will be weak and weak, and naturally can't afford to cause trouble." In fact, I don't think there is any point in doing this, the rare medicinal herbs that are all over the demon mountain will wither sooner or later, and it is useless to keep them, so why bother those who work hard to ask for medicine? But the rules set by the old monster, we subordinates are not qualified to ask at all. ”

Hearing that it was Su Hexiang, he was much more relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about his life, but the feeling of nausea was still too much, and he didn't have the heart to respond when he listened to the young man's babbling.

After walking through the sludge ditch, the young man was much closer to Yan Liwu, and he talked more, but he still wanted to persuade Yan Liwu to give up, but Yan Liwu laughed at this, and from time to time touched the broken silver ball on his chest with red rope, and smiled softly on his face.

At dusk, Yan Liwu went down to the top of the mountain under the guidance of the young man, because the rain was too slippery, the weak young man had some difficulty going up, and the two simply nested under the protruding mountain rock by the spring to hide from the rain. At night, when the rain was getting lighter, Ding San carried the medicine basket and shouted all the way to find it, so the young man and his old apprentice, who were much older than himself, shared an oil-paper umbrella, and lent the other one to Yan Liwu for use alone, and continued to walk to the top of the mountain in the only faint light.

"Why did Master bring people up the mountain again? I was scolded by the old monster last time, and I'm going to go this time? Ding San was very dissatisfied with the young man's actions, but he didn't dare to make accusations, muttering and nagging all the way. When he walked to a gentle hillside, Ding San suddenly crossed his hands on his hips and looked proud, looking like an old naughty boy: "This is the Ayahuasa Slope, if you want to go up the mountain, you have to walk over, if you can't stand it, don't blame my master for not helping you!" ”

There is also a group of older apprentices in the Autumn Festival in Junzilou, but there is definitely no Ding San jumping around in front of the master like this, if it weren't for the second place of trial in front of him, it is very likely that he would laugh out loud.

"These vines have sharp thorns, and each thorn has a poisonous sac, and if it accidentally pierces the flesh, it will become poisonous, and the mild ones will be paralyzed, and the severe ones may lose their lives. Last year, a young chivalrous man with clear eyebrows had died here, and the girl was asked to think twice. The boy looked at Yan Li, and tried to make a final dissuasion.

Yan Liwu carefully observed the dense vines everywhere for a long time, obviously it was a critical moment of life and death, and the expression on his face was nine points easier than walking through the mud ditch before: "Just walk through this vine, right?" Whatever method is used? ”

"Yes, but there's nothing good to think of in a place like this." The young man couldn't help but be curious when he saw that Yan was worried and worried, and then saw that she didn't look like she was carrying something to save her life, and he became more and more puzzled.

Yan Li calmed down, unexpectedly pulled out the Huangcheng sword and held it in his hand, cut off more than ten huge leaves on the vines with neat movements, half of them were stuffed into thick leather clogs to wrap the legs as much as possible, the other half was crumpled into a ball and wrapped in a sweat towel, and two flat rocks were found and grinded hard until the entire sweat towel was soaked with green juice.

The young man watched from the side from beginning to end, and when he saw the end, he suddenly gasped, and there was a hint of admiration in his surprised expression: "The girl knows this vine and its poisonous solution, and she is also a person who is proficient in medical skills, right?" ”

"I don't have much experience in practicing medicine, I have taught fur as a child, and I am greedy for some medical skills, so I know that the poison of this 'entanglement of bones' can be relieved by leaf juice."

Covering his mouth and nose with a wet sweat towel, he took a deep breath and stepped into the poisonous vine that could devour people's lives.
