Chapter 19 The Blind Man Holds the Treasure
Saying that, Chen Xiaogou and the others followed Liu Blind to the door of a small hotel in the market town......
"This Uncle Liu is really not taboo, he took us directly to ask for money." "Do you still have to hide this?" It turned out that when Liu Blind saw that the matter was over, he directly took two people to Xu Dajun to settle the bill.
"Then I'll leave first, and something will come to me later."
"Thank you, Immortal Master Liu."
It didn't take long to see Liu Blind carrying his old cloth bag and saying goodbye to Xu Dajun, and it seemed that the accounts were collected very smoothly. Da Gang and Chen Xiaobraid hurriedly greeted him after seeing it.
"This is my two thousand, I'll put it away first. Come, Dagang, this is your two thousand. As soon as he saw that Liu was blind and wanted to divide the money in person, Chen Xiaobraid's heart was about to rise to his throat! I thought to myself, how can this old fox do things so casually? Unexpectedly, this blind man Liu did not take out all the money, but divided two thousand two thousand to himself and Lu Dagang.
"Two thousand left! You've got the pigtails! The rest of the money in the envelope, Liu Blind said in an accentuated tone, saying that the remaining two thousand would be given to Chen Xiaobraid, and then the pigtail found that the old fox's face did not change its color.
"Alright, two young heroes, let's go."
"Braid, why do I think your envelope is thicker than mine?"
"Lu Dagang! You're going too far. What do you mean? ”
After the three of them "divided" the labor chips equally, Liu Blind put the guide cane in his hand a little, and then took the two of them to prepare to leave here.
"Uncle Liu, you go slowly, I heard that you were also a mountain walker when you were young, you can tell us about it!" Chen Xiaobraid was afraid that Lu Dagang would see the flaws in this money, so he caught up with Liu Blind in two steps and asked to hear the story of Liu Blind walking the mountain when he was young, and suddenly Lu Dagang's attention was successfully diverted by him.
"Alas, my heart aches when I mention this mountain, if it weren't for my greed for money and competitiveness, I wouldn't have wasted this pair of tricks." As soon as the blind man heard Chen Xiaobraid mention the past, he hung his head sadly. (Zhaozi means eye)
"To say that I was just like you in those years, I was also a handsome boy with a dignified appearance." Then he told the two young men about the loss of these eyes, but for him to say that he was also a handsome boy when he was young, pigtails and Dagang didn't believe it anyway......
More than 30 years ago, Liu Blind was just 30 years old, relying on the craftsmanship left by his ancestors, he traveled back and forth to the deep mountains and Daze all over the country, digging treasures and seeking the truth. Because of his outstanding craftsmanship, he not only has a little reputation, but also earns a lot of money.
Once, in Changbai Mountain, he heard from a local hunter that he often saw "ginseng dolls", so he worked hard to get a piece of thousand-year-old wood essence, and came to this deep mountain alone, wanting to lure out the ginseng doll and get this strange treasure.
As everyone knows, this wild ginseng root is huge, a thumb-long wild ginseng root can extend to a radius of several meters, in fact, it is to use the root to absorb those hundreds of thousands of years of plant spirits.
After burying a piece of thousand-year-old wood essence in the ground, Liu Blind carefully set a trap made of red thread around it, and little by little spread the red thread into a forest more than ten meters away.
Then the blind man Liu was ready, hid behind a thousand-year-old tree, and waited patiently.
But this wait is a full five days and five nights, which is commonplace for mountain walkers, how can a rare treasure be so easy to obtain? Of course, you need to be patient, and of course, some people have to wait for years or even more than ten years for a baby.
During the day, Liu Blind picked some wild game and fruit in the vicinity to satisfy his hunger, took a nap for a while, and stayed by the ancient tree at night, until the night of the fifth day, when he noticed a burst of medicinal fragrance coming from the trap he had set.
He hid his body behind the tree again, and cautiously looked out of the forest, and sure enough, he saw a small figure floating out of the woods, it was the ginseng doll.
In fact, the ginseng doll in reality is not as cute as it is on TV, the ginseng essence in front of me is, although the body is like a toddler, and there is a small pigtail on the head that can only be combed by a child, but the face and body are ugly folds, not only not cute but very demonic.
The ginseng essence was attracted by the thousand-year-old ginkgo wood essence in the soil, smelled it on the soil, and plunged into the soil, and most of its body immediately sank into it. Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Blind pulled the red thread in his hand, and the whole red thread tied up the ginseng essence.
Blind Liu took out a few copper coins from his arms, strung them into the red line one by one, and soon the five copper coins kept sliding along the red line in the direction of ginseng essence.
When the five copper coins slipped to the ginseng, Liu Blind also happily wrapped the red thread and walked to the ginseng essence.
Blind Liu suppressed his ecstasy and placed five copper coins around the ginseng with red threads, because this ginseng that had become a refined ginseng would be able to escape at any time if it was not trapped by the formation.
After trapping the ginseng firmly, Liu Blind took out a canvas bag, which was full of special gadgets made of digging mallets, and this ginseng would lose its roots when it touched copper and iron, so this set of tools was made of sterling silver.
Blind Liu first took out a small shovel of sterling silver and carefully dug it up from a meter around the ginseng. The reason why they are so careful is because wild ginseng must ensure that the roots are complete, and breaking off a small whisker will greatly reduce it.
Ginseng pickers must have this kind of carefulness and patience, it is common to find a treasure ginseng to dig for a few days, Liu Blind cleaned up the outer circle of soil, and then collected the red line, this time to see most of the whole picture of the ginseng. As the saying goes, "seven taels are ginseng, eight taels are treasures", but this ginseng in front of you is more than a catty, and it can definitely be regarded as a thousand-year-old treasure.
While calming down his excitement, the blind man was carefully cleaning the extremely fine root system with tools, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a human cough behind him.
This frightened Liu Blind a lot, and hurriedly inserted the silver stick in his hand into the copper coin to prevent the ginseng from running away, while he stood up and looked at the figure behind him.
"Nanling Mountain guests pass through the North Mountain, dare to ask which mountain is Brother Tai?" As soon as he saw that a person really came out of the woods, Liu Blind immediately hugged his fist and started to walk the mountain, Liu Blind reported that he was a guest of Nanling Mountain, proving that he was a person from the southern faction who held treasures, and went to Changbai Mountain to dig treasures, and asked about the other party's way.
But the other party did not answer, but walked straight in the direction of Liu Blind, originally Liu Blind thought that he had met a man who ate raw rice, but when the man approached, Liu Blind found that there was something wrong with the other party.
The man was tall and thin, somewhat disproportionate, wearing a straw hat and a long coat, but when he looked closer, Liu Blind found that the man's eyes hidden under the straw hat were actually glowing yellow.
"Okay, I see, I'll go." Liu Blind Man understood, suddenly turned around and shouted, saying that he would leave, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly turned back and raised his hand to fly out with a hidden weapon.
In fact, Liu Blind had already understood what the other party was at this time, and a stone shot down the other party's straw hat, and sure enough, a furry face was revealed. Blind Liu guessed correctly, the other party was not a human, but a big horse monkey. This thing is the most evil.,Not only is it very fond of imitating humans.,It's also very vicious and cunning.。
Liu Blind understands, it is estimated that this big horse monkey has long taken a fancy to this thousand-year-old ginseng and wants to keep it for himself to eat, and when he sees someone coming to seize the treasure, he will definitely be desperate, thinking of this, Liu Blind took out the dog's leg from the leggings and held it tightly in his hand.
The big horse monkey was strong and intelligent. dominates the mountains and forests on weekdays, how could he put Liu Blind in his eyes, and pounced on him with his fangs.
And Liu Blind walked the mountains all the year round, and encountered countless kinds of spirits, and his skills were naturally very good.
The dog-legged mountain knife in his hand was also a treasure knife obtained in the Western Regions, and with a quick swing of his eyes, he actually cut the fierce horse monkey in half.
Liu Blind Man was very happy to see that the big horse monkey was cut off by the waist, when he came, he heard that there was a monkey demon in this mountain, often attacking medicine farmers and hunters, and countless people died in its hands, I don't want to not only get a treasure but also eliminate harm for the people this time!
Just as Liu Blind was about to put away the dog-legged knife and then go to dig up the ginseng, he suddenly found that the corpse of the big horse monkey on the ground was a little strange.
I saw that the body of the big horse monkey that was split in two had been wriggling, and no blood had flowed out, and after a while, I found that the head of a horse monkey was also sticking out of the lower half of the body.
At this time, Liu Blind realized that it was originally two horse monkeys, but somehow they looked long, the upper arm was extremely long, and the leg was extremely short, and the lower one had relatively long legs and short arms, so together they looked like a tall and thin person.
At this time, the two horse monkeys squatted side by side, and in front of the blind man, they all made the appearance of attacking, which made the blind man Liu a little panicked, after all, he was alone, regardless of the front and back, the situation was really unfavorable.
The horse monkey didn't care what Blind Liu thought, and he was also angered by Blind Liu at this time, and the two of them, one left and one right, pounced on Blind Liu at a very fast speed. This big horse monkey can be regarded as a fierce and abnormal master among animals, not only with sharp claws, but also with sharp fangs. Coupled with its cunning character, tigers and cheetahs usually don't provoke it easily, but at this time, one left and one right attacked, which frightened Liu Blind.
The horse monkey on the left was the first to rush over, and bit down on the arm of the blind man, and the blind man hurriedly dodged and gave the beast a punch, but this attack was not harmful to the horse monkey at all.
The horse monkey suffered a loss, and his body turned to the ground, Liu Blind was afraid that it would reflexively attack, and turned his body around, his eyes stared at it, but the horse monkey attack on the right also arrived, Liu Blind heard the sound of the wind behind his head, and hurriedly turned around, just facing the horse monkey.
But at this time, the horse monkey had already rushed to the face of the blind man, and as soon as he stretched out his sharp claws, he attacked the face of the blind man. The speed of the horse monkey was ridiculously fast, and the blind man Liu didn't have time to react, and the sharp claws swept to his face.
According to Liu's recollection, he only felt a black light swept in front of him, and then his two eyes were cold, and before he could even feel pain, his two eyes were cut open......
By the time the blind man Liu reacted, it was already too late, and as soon as the red light appeared in front of him, a stream of hot and humid blood spurted out. The severe pain hit, and Liu Blind covered his eyes and fell to the ground in pain.
At that time, his heart was cold, he knew that he must have to explain to this place today, and he could even feel that a horse monkey had picked up the mountain knife he had dropped on the ground, and the other horse monkey was already smiling and watching a good show.
"Monkey, you dare to hurt someone's life!" But at this moment, Liu Blind suddenly heard a human voice, and it sounded as if he was coming to save himself, you must know that in this vast deep mountain, the chance of encountering someone is really too small.
"Later, someone came to beat away the two monkeys and saved me, that person was your father, he sent the black fox fairy back to Changbai Mountain, and he happened to encounter this incident." Liu Blind later learned that the person who saved him was Chen Laogou, who not only beat away the two horse monkeys, but also dug ginseng for Liu Blind, which was able to save Liu Blind's life.
"If you want to say that your immortal family is powerful, you have the immortal family to protect your body wherever you go, compared to our ordinary mountain walkers, they are really too weak" Liu Blind got acquainted with Chen Laogou because of this, and also started this trading of licensed goods under the introduction of Chen Laogou, and it is not in vain that he has not wasted his ability to recognize treasures and defend treasures.
"Of course, my father is not ordinary, and I am also a true heir to his old man." This sentence can make Chen Xiaobraid's nose rush to the sky, it turns out that his father's ability is really not blown.
"By the way, speaking of which, I have something for you." When Blind Liu said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and stopped Chen Xiaobraid again.
"It's useless to put this thing on me, so I'll give it to you, and it's not in vain that you call me Master." I saw Liu Blind fumbling in his bag for a long time, and took out an old book without a name, claiming that this was for Chen Xiaobraid.
"It's not worth much, put it away!" "Uncle Liu~ This shouldn't be the golden plum bottle that you have treasured for many years!" Although Blind Liu kept saying that this book was not a valuable thing, Chen Xiaobraid knew in his heart that it was probably not easy to keep a book that could keep Blind Liu for half his life, but he didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he joked again.
"Fuck off, stinky boy. Just go home and ask your dad to find out, it will help you. Blind Liu ignored him, and as he walked, he told Chen Xiaobraid to ask his father when he went back, and he knew what this book was for.
The three of them walked all the way out of the market town, because what Liu Blind told him about the things he experienced back then was more dangerous, and the pigtail couldn't help but be more cautious about dealing with Tujiao soon.
"Uncle Liu, what does that wild ginseng taste like?"
"Well, it's not bad, just take a trip before the ghost gate closes, you can also try it."
"Ah...... Then I'll forget it. ”
