Lin Luoran looked around the top of the mountain, and the fragrance was overflowing under the action of the wind, making it impossible to find the source.
It was a fragrance that she had never smelled before, some like flowers, mixed with fruity fragrance, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance, which made people's sense of smell progressive, which was very attractive. Between going down the mountain and finding the source of the scent, it only took Lin Luoran a few seconds to make a choice.
If you go down the hill faster, you should be able to delay for a while now, right?
She thought so, searching around the top of the mountain.
The fragrance of the flowers seems to be absent, and it is intermittent by the wind, which is very difficult to locate, Lin Luoran searched all the boundaries of the mountain top and did not find the source of the fragrance.
Lin Luoran made a mistake to give up his vision, and closed his eyes to feel the source of the fragrance with his heart.
The sweet fragrance swirled around the tip of her nose, and after a circle, she flew farther away, Lin Luoran's nose trembled, trying to catch the path of the fragrance.
Finally, the wind was a little lighter, and the sweet fragrance could still be heard, but it was not so disordered, Lin Luoran closed her eyes and stared, and she was happy in her heart, she found the direction where the fragrance came from!
His eyes suddenly opened, and he no longer had any doubts before, and Lin Luoran was very confident to walk towards the edge of the cliff.
Take a look at the valley, and sure enough, I saw that on the cliff three meters below the top of the mountain, there is a bluestone platform three feet square, which does not connect to the sky and does not touch the ground, and it is very eye-catching to be alone on the cliff.
A dwarf plant with dark green meridians and small and stretched branches and leaves grabs a little bit of soil on the bluestone platform, and the growth is very gratifying.
The flowers are black, small and small four or five petals, from a distance look a little like epiphany, at this time are still hugging together, will not open, only one flower bone grows between the dark green branches and leaves, with the breeze gently shaking the body, exuding a burst of strange fragrance.
Lin Luoran finally found the source, but at this time he was a little embarrassed.
First, the bluestone is not connected to the world, and it is suspended in the air on the cliff, and it must take a lot of effort to pick it up. Second, she didn't know this flower at all, and she hadn't even heard of it, such a strange color, Lin Luoran was very skeptical that it would be a highly poisonous thing.
But one thing Lin Luoran can be sure of, this black strange flower is definitely not a big road product!
She could see the aura of the plants, but when she started searching, she didn't find anything special on the edge of the cliff, but now, Lin Luoran looked at it intently, the flowers were still flowers, but she couldn't see the fog at all, this was the strange place.
Either this black flower is a dead thing at all, and it has long lost its life essence, or it ...... It actually knows how to restrain its breath. Whether it is such a strange fragrance of a dead thing, or a strange flower that knows how to restrain aura, it is enough to make Lin Luoran tempted.
Does black necessarily represent poison?
That's a big problem! Lin Luoran had an idea in his heart, and carefully observed the surrounding environment, in the novel, it is said that strange flowers and plants are usually guarded by strange beasts, and after watching it for a long time, the bare bluestone hangs there, and the hair and feces of birds and beasts are not visible at all.
Lin Luoran was still not at ease, she picked up another big stone and still went to the bluestone platform, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the legendary "Flower Protecting Beast" jump out, she laughed, she actually took the description in the novel seriously!
As for how to go down, she rolled her eyes, leaned over the cliff and pulled up a mountain vine with two fingers thick, and after pulling it was quite strong, she tied one end to a big tree on the edge of the cliff, grabbed the other end tightly, saw the position, and jumped down gently.
When the wind blew on his face when he was suspended, it was a little hot, but it was just a moment's distance, and Lin Luoran was like a leaf floating down, falling lightly and accurately on the bluestone.
Such a three-foot square bluestone seems to be just a corner of the entire stone exposed to the mountain, and Lin Luoran stood on the stone without even trembling, indicating that its larger area is embedded in the mountain.
When I got so close, the sweet fragrance of the black strange flowers suddenly drilled into the end of my nose, which made people's noses itch, and their brains were fluttering, and they felt that the whole person was stepping on the cotton pile, which made people so uncomfortable.
Lin Luoran was suddenly alert, this flower seemed to have a confusing effect, and it had to be resolved quickly. She was afraid of poison, so she didn't dare to pick it between her hands, so she tore off a piece of mountain vine and threw it like a whip.
Originally, the dark green plant was grabbed by the rain washed onto the bluestone of the soil to grow, the root system is not deep, Lin Luoran vigorously twitched the bluestone, but dozens of times the soil was shaken loose, she whipped the momentum, swept to the root of the plant, the end of the mountain vine dexterously circled, firmly circled the root of the black flower, with a flick of the wrist, the strength passed along the mountain vine, completely separated the root system from the bluestone!
Lin Luoran made a hard effort, and the whip was put into her arms, and the dark green plant flew towards Lin Luoran with the soil, she didn't dare to take it rashly, and with a thought, this strange plant with black branches and black flowers was received by Lin Luoran into the space.
Lin Luoran breathed a sigh of relief, his current skills, he is not a cultivator, and a martial arts master is certain. This is not a good place to check out the strange flowers, Lin Luoran remembered the sound of gold and stone when the mountain vine was whipped on the bluestone, and guessed that this stone might also be a little weird, so he wanted to take it with him.
Lin Luoran stomped his feet on the bluestone, the bluestone did not move, it is estimated that the area of the mountain is very large, and there are no tools in his hand at this time, but it is difficult to get it out.
Lin Luoran hesitated slightly, afraid that Dad Lin would not find her at the place where they met, so she decided to have a chance to come and get this bluestone again.
She grabbed the mountain vine, took a deep breath, kicked the bluestone with her toes, jumped lightly, and a little more on the cliff, and the person had already turned over to the top of the mountain.
Lin Luoran delayed for a while, afraid that Dad Lin would worry, so he couldn't help but move much faster when he went down the mountain. As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, she took care of Lin Dad, jumped and ran in the mountains with all her might, and when she was about to reach the mountain pass, she stopped in advance, sorted out her clothes and hair, and found that her clothes were hung up by tree branches.
It is estimated that Mother Lin will talk again when she goes back, Lin Luoran thought about it, and greeted Father Lin who was waiting in the col:
"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? I found a few monkeys in the mountains just now, and ran away after them...... "Lin Luoran made up a white lie, you can't tell Dad Lin that your daughter went to the cliff to pick flowers, right?" That doesn't worry Dad Lin to death!
It was the dry time of autumn, and the forest fire was not for fun, so Dad Lin carefully extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and took out the dry food he brought to solve lunch on the spot.
The rice balls that Lin's mother personally kneaded, with the leftover beef and some vegetables from last night, if Lin Luoran was usually so cold, he could eat it, but Lin Luoran was here, Lin Dad still felt sorry for his daughter, picked a big leaf and wrapped it, and picked up a branch to heat the rice ball.
Picnics are very interesting, yes, but Lin Luoran didn't know why, since she picked so many cliff flowers that resembled epiphanys and exuded sweet fragrances, she always felt a little restless, as if there was some danger about to happen.
If it had been before, she would have scoffed at this unfounded intuition, but since she got the beads, her spiritual sense has risen, and she does not dare to despise these dark feelings.
It's better to leave early, Lin Luoran said that he wanted to experience life with Dad Lin, and he didn't let Dad Lin heat up the rice balls, but Dad Lin had no choice but to distribute the cold rice balls to his daughter, and the two walked back while eating.
Along the way, in addition to picking some rare medicinal materials by himself, Lin Luoran also helped Lin Dad pick many common medicinal materials, not only filled the bamboo baskets on the backs of the two of them, but also used an empty bag brought by Lin Dad.
……
An hour after Lin Luoran's father and daughter left the mountain col, the grass where the father and daughter had stayed made a loud noise, and a thick red body loomed among the grass and bushes.
Shrubs and grass obscured most of its body, revealing the intricate patterns on the red surface of its body.
When it reached the top of the mountain, the bushes plummeted, and the big triangular head was revealed—a red snake as thick as a normal person's thigh, with a retractable snake core, and a fishy smell sprayed on the blades of grass, which turned brown after a few minutes!
The more the big red snake walked to the top of the mountain, the more restless it seemed to become, and gradually increased its speed.
After a while, the big snake moved to the cliff where Lin Luoran once stood. It perched its head on the edge of the cliff and looked down—
There were some debris scattered on the big bluestone, and the strange flower that could make it advance was long gone!
The big red snake's eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, but there was no alien aura left in the air, leaving it with nowhere to chase!
The big snake spit out the core, raised the snake's tail and fanned it on the mountain stone and big tree, the cliff stone debris flew wildly, and a big tree that was enough for one person to be surrounded was swept by it a few times, and it was broken from the waist!
At the same time, Lin Luoran, who had already crossed this mountain and was far away from here, had no reason to tighten his heart, and dragged Dad Lin forward even faster.
