The owner of this house is over 70 years old, and he met Uncle Qingcang when he first went into the mountains to collect medicine, and he would stay here for a few days every time.

Because we had greeted in advance, the old man had already prepared dinner, and we who had little appetite because of the fatigue of the journey were attracted by the fragrance on the table.

The ingredients in this mountain are all original, and the taste is naturally much stronger than those bought in the city, but as a result, I ate wild boar meat and wild mushrooms, and Lin Yue and I both ate a round belly.

The old man arranged for us in the empty room in the west, the kang was already hot, although it was still summer, but lying on the kang did not feel hot, Lin Yue and I felt very comfortable, because of fatigue, soon fell asleep.

I was woken up by a loud shout in my sleep, I hurriedly looked out of the window, and by the moonlight I saw Uncle Qingcang and Senior Brother Dashan standing in the courtyard with peach wood swords.

I hurriedly put on a coat, and as soon as I pushed open the door, Uncle Qingcang immediately said to me: "Don't come out of ginger tea, that thing is coming for you!" ”

I didn't feel surprised, I'm used to going out and meeting ghosts, no wonder Uncle Qingcang didn't chase him out, I'm afraid of falling for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, right?

After watching in the courtyard for a while, Uncle Qingcang said loudly: "I brought my friends to your place, I didn't want to cause trouble, but if anyone dares to offend, I Qingcang will not be merciful!" ”

His voice echoed through the mountains, but there was no response, quiet.

It wasn't until I entered the house that I understood why Uncle Qingcang shouted just now, it turned out that Uncle Qing Cang didn't expect that there would be dirty things staring at me just after entering the village, so shouting is a salute before the soldiers, if the other party doesn't go on the road, then don't blame our people who come from afar are welcome.

I asked my uncle how he knew that the thing was staring at me, and he said that he was not completely asleep, and when he heard movement outside, he saw a dark shadow lying outside our window through the crack in the window, so he woke up Brother Oyama and came to the courtyard together.

That shout scared the black shadow away, it shouldn't be a powerful demon, but Uncle Qingcang now understands that if I really attract ghosts and other things so easily, there will inevitably be powerful mountain spirits and ghosts in this vast Kunlun Mountain, and I will also attract them.

Now that my uncle was considering whether to end the trip, I felt very guilty that I had caused trouble, but he said to me afterwards, "It's me who worries about you too much, and blindly avoiding it is not the way, so we can't go." ”

I looked up at him in surprise, and Uncle Qingcang said firmly: "With me, I will never let you be bullied, I want to understand why those guys are so interested in you." ”

After that, Uncle Qingcang asked me to sleep a little more vigilantly, and then went back to their room, I turned around and went back to the room, and saw that Lin Yue was sleeping Zhengxiang, and I didn't hear the conversation we just had, I smiled bitterly, and I couldn't sleep when I lay on the kang.

I thought it was a distracting trip, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the first night, I don't know if it will appear again in the next few days, if there is really a powerful demon trying to catch me, then what should I do? I don't want everyone to be dragged down by me.

My fingers inadvertently touched the pendant on my chest, as well as the jade cicada, my heart settled down a lot, I thought that I would come, and the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth, I am also a cultivator, how can I be frightened by the evil demon outer way?

After breakfast the next morning, Lin Yue didn't know anything about last night, changed into hiking shoes, and said that he also wanted to pick some herbs, preferably the most precious Ganoderma lucidum ginseng or something.

We looked at the innocent her and had to shake her head and smile bitterly, she was the happiest, I'm afraid she was the first to stand it, right?

Because there are often villagers in the surrounding mountains to pick mountain goods, we must go farther into the mountains to find better medicinal materials, so we are ready to sleep in the mountains this time.

Brother Dashan carried the largest bag on his back, which contained outdoor items such as tents and moisture-proof cloths, and Uncle Qingcang also had a lot of things, most of them were food, and his friend brought us some jerky and hard-boiled eggs.

Later, Lin Yue and I didn't have much weight on our bodies, and we were just carrying our own clothes.

At first, the mountain road was quite easy to walk, but after walking for a morning, there was almost no road, but the vegetation in the mountain was lush, so Senior Brother Dashan walked in front and used a knife to open the way.

For a whole day, I forgot to climb a few mountains, and everyone stopped at the bottom of a valley, Uncle Qingcang told us that we would stay here for one night tonight, and Lin Yue hurriedly sat down on the stone.

However, this girl's performance today is already very good, she didn't delay our trip, she always walked behind Brother Dashan, and then she was tired and didn't have the strength to speak, but she didn't ask to stop and take a break.

It stands to reason that it is only four o'clock in the afternoon, and we can walk for another day, but Uncle Qingcang said that he should set aside time for washing and setting up tents, so there is no need to move forward, and he is afraid that he will not be able to meet such a suitable campsite if he goes on again.

I don't understand why this unremarkable valley is suitable for camping, Uncle Qingcang explained it to me before I understood, but our choice is different from other ordinary campers, that is, we must choose a place with better feng shui, otherwise it is easy to encounter dirty things.

Lin Yue is a daughter after all, sitting on the stone and rubbing her feet vigorously, shouting that the feet are already blistered, I said you go for a few more days, just wait for the blisters to become calluses, there will be no blisters in the future, she immediately pouted.

Camping in the wild is a very new thing for me and Lin Yue, and when we are almost rested, we will start to help Senior Brother Dashan collect dry firewood and prepare for cooking and lighting tonight.

After piling up a lot of piles, Uncle Qingcang said that enough is enough, you two are still addicted to collecting firewood?

After a simple bite of dinner, Uncle Qingcang told us that this time we went into the mountains to collect medicine and set it here for the time being, and it should be enough to search for three days in the surrounding mountains for a year.

Lin Yue was very happy to hear about it, at least she didn't have to walk non-stop, and looking for medicinal herbs on the mountain was like a treasure hunt, and the fun was certainly much better for her than climbing the mountain.

The two tents were close to each other, and Uncle Qingcang handed us the flower water and said, "There are more mosquitoes in the mountains, you should apply this before you go to bed, and be alert when you sleep." ”

I didn't expect the uncle to be so thoughtful, I took the flower water and nodded, and got into the tent with Lin Yue, she was already sleepy, but I still let her go to sleep after being pulled by me and applying the flower water.

I lay on the damp cloth and still didn't feel sleepy, listening to the crackling sound of firewood outside, and the insects and birds in the mountains, I felt like I was back in my hometown.

Senior Brother Dashan outside was on duty at night, he and Uncle Qingcang were on duty in shifts, one was on duty in the middle of the night, I also wanted to be on duty at night, but Uncle Qingcang resolutely disagreed, so I had to give up in the end.

I didn't expect this night to be safe, I don't know when I fell asleep, and I slept until dawn.

There was a small river at the bottom of the gentle slope below the camp, and Lin Yue and I took toiletries to wash our faces and brush our teeth, but Lin Yue screamed, and the cup in his hand fell into the water and was washed away directly.

I was taken aback by her and quickly asked her what was wrong? Lin Yue covered his eyes and said that there was a human hand in the water.

I thought it was a water ghost in broad daylight, but after a closer look, I realized that it wasn't, it was a human hand that had been cut off.

Uncle Qingcang and they immediately ran down when they heard the sound, Senior Brother Dashan fished that hand out of the water, looked at it and told us that this hand should have been cut off last night, rushed here from upstream and was blocked by stones, and happened to be discovered by Lin Yue.

Uncle Qingcang frowned, thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are still our fellow Daoists in this mountain, and I don't know what they encountered, why was their hands cut off?" ”

Senior Brother Dashan immediately asked, "Then should we go over and have a look?" ”

"Go ahead, but it's been so long, if something happens, it's already going to happen, if we can escape, we may not be able to find it, let it be." Uncle Qingcang sighed and said.

After revising the route, Uncle Qingcang and the others simply cleaned up, left the tent here, and prepared to collect medicine while going up the small river to see if they could find anything, and if they still didn't find it in the afternoon, then they would return to camp the same way.

Lin Yue was frightened once, and her mood was a little low, and after I comforted her a few words, everyone started to hit the road again.

After we really started collecting medicine, we realized that we couldn't find anything without a little experience, and the strange weeds I saw were all weeds, but the weeds that I skipped were real medicinal materials, and finally I had to follow behind Senior Brother Dashan, learning while walking.

Everyone was paying attention to whether there was anything in the grass under their feet, but Lin Yue suddenly looked around and suddenly pointed to the yellow thing on the cliff on the left and asked, "What is that?" ”

We looked in the direction of her finger, and Uncle Qingcang smiled and said, "That's a wild honeycomb, and all you see is honey in yellow color." ”

"Honey?!" Lin Yue immediately became excited when he heard this, and asked the uncle if he could get a little down.

I think she's a little embarrassed, the cliff is about ten meters high, and the honeycomb is densely packed with wild bees, how can she get honey.

But Uncle Qingcang smiled, glanced at Senior Brother Dashan, he nodded and walked over, put down his backpack, found some firewood in the grass to make a torch, and then stuck the torch in his waist and prepared to climb up with his bare hands.

Lin Yue and I both opened our mouths wide, I didn't expect Senior Brother Dashan to have such a ability, Uncle Qingcang smiled and said, "Your senior brother has grown up in this Kunlun Mountain since he was a child, and this is not difficult for him." ”
