"I see!"

Nodding with a sudden realization, Xu Jingyang said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, she has become so difficult...... I think that at the beginning, even the strength of the locust tree demon was very average, and it has only been a few months, and it has grown to such a point? ”

"Okay! I'll take them away, and I'll explain the situation to the school in the name of the Religious Affairs Bureau in a moment. During this time, you should take a good rest, I always feel that there may be something big happening in the cultivation world, and we must always be prepared! ”

Well?

Even Xu Jingyang has already felt it? It seems that maybe Xia Wuren really said that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and this cultivation world is only afraid that something big will happen......

As he spoke, the two members of the Religious Affairs Bureau had directly handcuffed Xiaoli and left here.

Accompanied Xu Jingyang and others down the mountain, I just watched them take Xiaoli into the car, but Liu Yanan and Zhang Xin couldn't help but run over all of a sudden, and said with a vigilant face: "Wang Lin! Who are those? Where are they going to take Xiaoli? ”

"Police! It seems that Xiaoli has committed something......"

There are some things that I don't like to tell them too much, they are not things they understand, and even if I tell them, it will not do them any good, but may cause some unnecessary trouble......

With that, I ignored them and went straight to the classroom.

I haven't seen each other for more than a month, and the classmates in the class seem to have gradually forgotten my identity as an "unlucky ghost".

I barely sat in the classroom for a full class, but I listened to it tastelessly, and as soon as I entered the deep world of cultivation, my classmates were passers-by from then on...... Before I knew it, campus life was out of place for me, and I just left the classroom as soon as the bell rang.

I went to the Burrow again and found that the school had long since re-opened it as a utility room, and the locks had been changed......

In desperation, I had to return to Yangming Temple, and the entire Qianyang, it seems that this one-third of an acre of land is the most suitable for me.

For the next week or so, I almost completely became an otaku, and I didn't go out of the door, except for eating, I almost always nested in this Yangming Temple.

In addition to practicing and recuperating from my injuries, I began to look up some information on the Internet for ginseng picking, although the purpose of my visit to Changbai Mountain was not to collect ginseng, but I needed to know some basic common sense! Otherwise, once someone asks about it, won't it be a direct goof?

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion.

Don't say it, there are quite a lot of doorways in this ginseng picking business!

First of all, there are dozens of tools for collecting ginseng, such as deer bone chisels, rope sticks, quick knives, quick axes, red velvet ropes, oil cloths, copper coins and so on. Secondly, the ginseng is not called "ginseng", but "Fangshan", and the ginseng they pick is generally not called "ginseng", but "mallet" or "longevity flower", or "ghost cover".

What's more, over time, they also formed an organization called "Participating Gang", every time they pick ginseng, they must worship the mountain god, and set up thirteen gang rules, how to find a mallet, how to dig a mallet, these are all particular, they have a deep doorway, and it is difficult for people outside to get in.

Luckily, my purpose wasn't really to go into the mountains to collect ginseng, otherwise, I really doubt that I would have been able to get in.

After more than a week, I have gained a lot of knowledge, and my health is almost better, so I decided to set off early tomorrow morning and prepare to go to Changbai Mountain, which I have admired for a long time.

That night, I crushed the black talisman that Bai Wuchang had left me, I thought that he and Lingfeng would definitely come to me, but unexpectedly, they didn't bird me at all......

The next morning, I went to the Religious Affairs Bureau to say goodbye to Xu Jingyang, politely declined Xu Jingyang's kindness to accompany me, and drove on the road alone.

Ouyang Lengfeng's face is really big enough, and in the more than a week that I have been recuperating from my injuries, Xu Jingyang has indeed received a formal appointment from the General Administration of Religion. It's a little regrettable that this appointment is still only a deputy director, but the original Ning Junfeng was transferred, and Xu Jingyang was officially appointed as the deputy director of the Qianyang Branch!

Although there are some regrets, our goal has basically been achieved, as long as we get rid of Ning Junfeng, the villain, the rest will not matter.

It is precisely considering that Xu Jingyang has officially become the deputy director of the Qianyang Branch, and he "manages every day", how can I be embarrassed to let Xu Jingyang accompany him? Last time, it was because of me.,I almost didn't let him be jerked off by the Religious Affairs Bureau.,I don't want to do it again.。 Moreover, Bai Wuchang only gave me a "Escape Talisman", if Xu Jingyang was allowed to go with me, the target would be too big, and it would be easier to arouse the vigilance of the Hu family.

From Qianyang to Changbai Mountain, it is a journey of more than 3,000 kilometers, almost crossing most of China. Rao is a cultivator, and I walked for two days before I arrived in Fusong County, Ji Province.

When I arrived at the destination, I did not go to Changbai Mountain for the first time, but found a hotel to rest for a night, and at noon on the third day, I drove to the foot of Changbai Mountain.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I noticed that there were a lot of pedestrians carrying large bags on the roadside, and judging from their dress, it was obvious that they were not here for tourism. After some inquiry, I learned that they really came here to pick ginseng!

In this way, I came at the right time, but I heard from them that they were already the second group of people to enter the mountains, and as early as three days ago, some people had already entered the mountains in advance. And most of these people in front of them are stragglers, in the words of Cai Shen Xingdang, this is called "single stick pinch".

It's not that these "single-stick gangsters" don't want to enter earlier, but that the "gangs" are too powerful, and with the exception of a very few who are more courageous, the others simply don't dare to get ahead of the "gangs." They can only wait for the people who "join the gang" to go in before they dare to follow them in and go to some more remote places, hoping to make some gains.

I glanced at the vast procession, but my eyes finally focused on a lame old man who looked to be in his sixties, and his face was full of hiding.

However, judging from the tools he carried, he looked like an old ginseng picker.

After thinking about it, I couldn't help but park the car next to him, handed him another cigarette, and then asked him for advice.

The old man looked at me vigilantly, seeing that I was driving a good car, as if he was worried that I was an undercover agent from the gang. In desperation, I had to show him my student ID card and lied that someone in my family was seriously ill and urgently needed a senior ginseng for help.

The old man looked at his student ID card and saw my sincere face, so he relaxed his vigilance a little, but he was still a little lukewarm to me. It wasn't until I offered to give him a ride that his face softened a lot, and revealed to me a little about the situation in the mountains, but persuaded me not to go in, anyway, I have money, just wait here, as long as I can afford the price, someone will naturally sell me the "mallet" I picked at that time.

Of course, I politely declined his kindness, saying that I not only came for Changbai Mountain ginseng, but also wanted to travel to the mountains.

The old man didn't persuade me much, and began to talk to me about topics that had nothing to do with ginseng collection. From his conversation, I learned that his surname was Wu, his wife died early, he was a widower, and he grew up with two children alone.

The road was so innocuous and idle, about ten kilometers towards the mountains, but a roadblock appeared in front of me. Lao Wu said lightly, it was set up by the "Ginseng Gang", only their car can continue to move forward, and the other ginseng pickers can only walk!

As he spoke, Lao Wu had already picked up his tools directly, and after thanking me, he limped and continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, I didn't hold back, so I parked the car on the side of the road, and began to walk towards the mountains with the large army.

During this period, I got to know a lot of ginseng pickers, but they were only superficial talks, and they were not deep friends. Of course, my goal has been achieved, I just want to sneak into them into the mountains of Changbai Mountain, so as not to be targeted by the Hu family. Although I had already activated the "Escape Talisman" given to me by Bai Wuchang when I first entered Ji Province, it was best for me to follow the large army as much as possible for the sake of caution.

The further you go, the more you go, the more barren you go, the ancient trees towering to the sky, a primeval forest.

In order to protect the dragon vein, the Manchu Qing Dynasty closed the mountain outside the customs and forbade hunting, so that there were many birds and beasts in the mountain. Tigers, leopards, bears, blind people, etc., but with the reform and the opening of the reform, more and more poachers have increased, which has made these wild beasts more and more rare.

This is naturally a good thing for them, at least the security has been greatly improved. However, because of this, it is difficult for them to dig up the old ginseng from the previous year......

About 30 kilometers deep into the mountainous area, the people around me have begun to become fewer and fewer, and most of the old ginseng pickers have broken away from the large army and began to work on their own, looking for their favorite ginseng picking places.

After walking more than ten kilometers, there were almost only a few people around me, and after thinking about it, I also decided to break away from the large army and plan to act alone.

However, I had just taken a step when a middle-aged man behind me couldn't help but be startled, hurriedly grabbed me, and said, "Young man, you can't go in that direction anymore!" Over there is a forbidden area drawn by the mountain god's grandfather, once you break in, you can't get out again! ”

"Oh?"

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but deliberately pretend to be very surprised, and said with a smile: "No, where did the mountain god grandpa come from, I don't believe in these ......"

"Oh, it's true!"

Seeing that I didn't want to believe it, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be a little anxious, and then said with a serious face: "Last year, two guys broke in without knowing the seriousness, and they never came out!" Anyway, you're not a real ginseng picker, so it's better to follow me, it's a big deal, I'll pick the old ginseng and sell it to you cheaply, there's no need to take such a big risk! ”

"This ......"

After a moment's hesitation, I finally nodded and said, "Okay!" Thank you, uncle! ”

I just walked to the east, and according to the map provided by Bai Wuchang, the east is where the Hu family is located. In this way, the mountain god grandfather in the middle-aged population is probably referring to the Hu family......

My ultimate goal is, of course, to be close to that area, but now that someone has advised me, it is natural that I should not insist on it, so as not to arouse suspicion. Anyway, I still have a lot of time, so let's follow this uncle for a distance first, and then find a way to get separated from him......
