"For the rest of the day, our expedition settled in the stockade." Professor Xia stroked his forehead, as if what was going on made him worried.

"However," Professor Xia looked up at me, "the prescription I gave to Fu Yuan could only temporarily suppress his father's condition, although he was out of danger at the time, and in the next few weeks, his father's condition will relapse again, and it will be more serious than before!"

"Later, a Gu master invited from the village revealed that under the valley south of the mountain where we went to stay overnight, there is a kind of fungus that can heal all diseases, called Stygian Zhi."

"Stygian? Is it the same as Ganoderma lucidum? I wondered.

"Yes, I felt the same way when I heard that!" Professor Xia nodded and said, "According to that Gu Master's dictation, Shenzhi was also discovered by his ancestors after collecting medicine in the mountains and strayed into a deep valley, and he was afraid of the horror there, so in order to avoid more disasters, he resolutely decided to leave, and then recorded this kind of magical medicinal materials in the family tree.

"The whole body of the mushroom is blue, and the fireflies dare not approach, just because its mushroom body emits a smoke commensurate with it."

"So you mean, you later went to find this medicine for Fu Yuan's father?" I guessed.

"That's right!" Professor Xia didn't seem to shy away from this at all, "It's just that we didn't know the road conditions at that time, and we went down to the valley after several twists and turns. ”

"So what's next?" This has reached a crucial point, and I think the following is absolutely new.

"Sen, you're curious." Professor Xia said with a smile.

"Uncle Xia, I don't deny the curiosity and treasures in this world, their attraction to me is fatal." I confessed.

"Haha, Sen, look at what you said," Professor Xia smiled, "but I like you like this!" ”

......

Subsequently, Professor Xia recalled:

That Gu Master is a highly respected person in the village of Fuyuan, and he travels in the mountains all year round, just looking for herbs for the people in the village.

It seems that Gu art has long been shrouded in a veil of mystery, but Gu art is divided into two categories, Ji Gu and Dark Witch Gu. Ji Gu is to save the life and help the wounded, and the Dark Witch Gu is to be a traitor, which has to be determined by the character of the person who practices Gu.

The people who practice Gu are generally women, and he can be regarded as an exception, maybe he is the only man in his family.

As for the secret of Shenzhi, which is not spread to the outside world, it is actually a family taboo for the Gu Master to tell us, and later I learned that Fu Yuan's father once saved the Gu Master's life.

Next, the Gu Master repeatedly instructed Fu Yuan, as for what they said, I couldn't understand it, it was a unique local language.

I thought that the Gu Master would lead the way with us, but after a brief conversation with Shi Yuan, he left in a hurry.

According to Fu Yuan, the Gu Master gave him a route to the valley, but it was hidden in a few words, and he was not allowed to communicate with outsiders, so he could only comprehend it on his own.

At that time, when I saw that Shikiyuan mentioned this matter to me, there was obvious evasion in his eyes, so I guessed that the Gu Master had also said something else to him, after all, it was related to their customs, so I didn't want to ask too much.

Later, we searched the south side of the mountain for two days, not to mention the valley, not even a ravine.

"Fuyuan, are we in the wrong place?" I asked him.

"Master Agu won't be joking." Fuyuan said with certainty.

"How's it been almost two days, young man, that we've been looking here for almost two days and still found nothing?" My master also asked him, looking a little confused.

"Let's look again, maybe we've already arrived, but we haven't found it yet." Fuyuan replied.

From his expression, I guessed that he was trying to recall what the Gu Master had said to him at that time, hoping to find some clues.

And the people who traveled with us were at a loss, and some of us were even so timid that our legs were weak, because the mountains were cloudy and sunny, flickering and dark, and sometimes as dark as night.

"Is that God's situation? Uncle Xia? Why is it as dark as night in the mountains during the day? Is it a geomagnetic anomaly? I heard this, and a barrage of questions with him were raised.

Professor Xia saw that I seemed to have a lot of problems, and he was probably afraid that it would affect his train of thought and the coherence of the whole recollection process, so he waved his hand to signal me to listen to him.

Seeing that he might have incorporated all the doubts into this memory, I listened to the following again.

Later, after searching for two days and finding nothing, Fu Yuan was also worried that his father's illness would not last long, so he suggested that we return to the village first, and then consider the long term.

Unexpectedly, when we decided to go back, we passed by a narrow mountain gap and there was a waterhole near it. The water of the waterhole is turquoise and jade-like.

At this time, some of us questioned: "Natsuga, when we came here, this place was a barren mound!" ”

I wondered what was wrong with the student among us, who was a little younger than me, because his words proved that I was not dazzled, and that I had seen the same as he had seen at that time. Later, our whole team unanimously confirmed that this incredible thing was indeed a barren mound.

"That's right! This is it! Fu Yuan spoke, "Axia, this is it, you can't be wrong." ”

"This is the valley?" I wonder if we have misunderstood the Gu Master's words, so we are extremely confused, "There is still a difference between a waterhole and a valley, Fu Yuan." ”

"No, no, no!" Fu Yuan shook his head vigorously, "Axia, there is a mystery hidden here. ”

"Mystery?!" Our group looked at him in amazement.

"Well," he said with a calm expression, "has the big guy noticed a strange phenomenon, although the wind here is not too strong, but there is still a 'rustle' sound between the trees, why is there no ripple on the surface of this pool?" ”

Fu Yuan's words remind us that there is indeed a vision in this waterhole, and it is strangely quiet.

When we looked at each other and whispered, Fu Yuan's behavior shocked us.

Professor Xia raised his voice visibly as he said this, and he seemed to notice that I was not paying much attention to what he was saying.

Indeed, what he said was so trivial that I suspected that he was making up stories, because he had the impression that he always liked to make things bigger.

As for me being a little drowsy when I heard it, it was probably due to the surrounding environment and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. Thus, I am reminded of the difference between "telling" and "suing", where the speaker expects his story to be heard, and "narrating" which means that the speaker will continue to tell it regardless of whether anyone listens to it or not.

Professor Xia seems to be like a narrator, and while I admire him, I also like him to bring me some dry goods, and it seems that I have waited for it now.

"Uncle Xia, what did Fuyuan do?" I pretended to be amazed.
