The rain poured down, hitting Lu Chen's body, flowing down the edge of the grass in the coat, gathering and then sliding down. The temperature in the air was getting lower and lower, and the breeze made Lu Chen shiver.

Immediately behind Ding Nan,

"Shuttle, shuttle!"

There was a sound in front, and Lu Chen knew that it must be Ding Nan who had found the medicinal herbs, and motioned for himself to go over and pick them. Sure enough, soon, Ding Nan's voice came,

"Ah Chen, come here, there seem to be several herb-like grasses here that Grandpa Liu told us, come and identify them, I don't understand this thing." ”

Grandpa Liu Chang is the old man who led the medicine collection before, and he has been collecting medicine in Wushan for ten years, and he is an experienced medicine picker. There are not many really experienced old people in the town who collect medicine, and most of them are people who have left home halfway to collect medicine to make a living. Therefore, every time he went up the mountain, Grandpa Liu Chang led this group of hairy boys who didn't understand anything in his eyes into the mountain.

Every time before going up the mountain, Grandpa Liu will tell everyone about some herbs that need to be picked or valuable, describe their shapes, colors, etc., in case everyone misses them because they don't know each other, but even so, with everyone's memory, it is good to be able to remember half of them, and in the end it is still a mixture of herbs and herbs to be picked in the mountains.

Holding the bamboo cane and hurriedly stepped forward, after Lu Chen felt the position, he hurriedly put the bamboo cane down, slowly squatted down, carefully tested it with his hand in front, his hand touched the leaf stem, he groped lightly, exhaled, and said with a smile, "Yes, Brother Ding, it is one of the herbs that Grandpa Liu said, it is the stasis grass, yes, there are several plants." ”

Immediately, Lu Chen lay down, took out the small hoe from the medicine basket, gently picked up the soil on the side of the green grass in front of him, and then slowly dug the rhizome of the grass with his hands. After the surrounding soil was hollowed out, Lu Chen picked up a small hoe and inserted the front end into the soil, and dug hard to dig out a few herbs and grass with a little soil.

He called out to Brother Ding and asked him to help put the herbs into the medicine basket behind him. After picking these herbs, Lu Chen is also a little happy in his heart, Hua Hua Cao, as its name can be known as the use of blood stasis, medical bruises and injuries are useful, Lu Chen was an apprentice of the Song Dynasty, he had learned this kind of herbs, put them in the mortar, mash them with a pestle, and apply its juice to the wound, gently press and rub, and it will be good in a few days.

It is widely used, not only to treat bruises, but also to use it as an adjuvant for many other diseases, so its medicinal value is very large, and a plant of stasis grass can often be sold for dozens of silver coins in the pharmacy. It's like an ordinary herb, and the price that can be sold for a few silver coins is already a good one.

In the Rain Country, the only currency among the people was gold and silver, and these yellow and white things were ordered by His Majesty the Rain Emperor to be made into gold, silver, and copper coins. Gold coins are expensive, copper coins are the cheapest, silver coins are among them, and the exchange ratio between the three is one gold coin for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin for one hundred copper coins. The Rain Emperor unified the currency and set up a mint bureau in China, where the people of the country could bring gold and silver to choose to mint gold, silver and copper coins. And the price at which the stasis grass can be exchanged for dozens of silver coins is already a very good result.

After picking a few stasis plants, Lu Chen's mood also improved a little, but the legendary elixir was still far away. In the past, after a long time, there was no news of the elixir, and there was still a calm backwater in my heart. But not long ago, I heard the news of the elixir from Ding Nan's mouth, and the pool of stagnant water in Lu Chen's heart seemed to have set off a circle of ripples.

He shook his head and freed himself from some clutter. Lowering his head and concentrating, the sense of smell seems to have been magnified many times, this is the ability that Lu Chen cultivated when he was an apprentice of Song Lao. Otherwise, Lu Chen, who has no eyes, and has no outstanding points, will not be able to learn skills from Song Lao with just such a person, and he will not have the capital to go into the mountains to obtain a quota for collecting medicine.

It was precisely when Lu Chen had no eyes that Lu Chen's other sensory cells became extremely sensitive under his accumulated practice. It is precisely for this reason that when he first entered the team of collecting medicine, Lu Chen was accepted by everyone. Otherwise, Lu Chen is just a blind man, and his physical fitness is not good, so he will not have this team that may enter the medicine collection team.

Holding his breath and concentrating, Lu Chen seemed to smell an unusual fragrance from the air. His previous experience in collecting herbs told him that this was by no means the taste that ordinary herbs, flowers and fruits could exude.

The moist air is mixed with a hint of fragrance and sweetness, and when you take a breath of air, it seems that your spirit is lifted up, and the chill on your body is also dispelled a lot.

"Could it be an elixir? It is very likely to be an elixir, can it really be an elixir?" Just when Lu Chen's heart was shocked, and before he could think about it, he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

"Ah Chen, it seems that someone is coming, it doesn't seem to be from the town?" Ding Nan's voice came from his ears, which was a little puzzled and vigilant.

Shuttle!

Just as Ding Nan was speaking, there was a slight sound in Lu Chen's ears, his clothes rubbing against the leaves in the forest, and listening to the footsteps should be three people.

Not far from Ding Nan and Lu Chen, two young men and a young woman jumped from a tree, and the leading young man was holding a green steel sword in his hand to cut through the bushes and walk towards them.

"Hello, are you people who live in this neighborhood, we are cultivators in Huangshan City, there was a little accident, any of you are familiar with the vicinity of the Nanyu Mountain Range, can you do us a favor? ”

"We just need one person to lead the way, absolutely no malice. ”

The young man led by him stepped forward and spoke loudly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Several young people are not very old, and the man at the head looks no more than twenty years old, wearing a white robe, with a moire jade belt tied around his waist, his long hair is lightly tied behind his head, and his fresh and handsome face makes people look very good, and his clear eyes look at Ding Nan and the two like that, waiting for their answers.

"Near the Nanyu Mountain Range, isn't that the back mountain?" Hearing this, Ding Nan's face was a little unsightly, "Go to the back mountain, how is it possible, it is not a place where ordinary people can set foot." ”

"What's wrong?, is there any inconvenience?" the man at the head seemed to notice the embarrassment on Ding Nan's face and asked.

"Senior brother, why are you looking for these ordinary people, they may not be useful......" Just as Ding Nan was about to speak, the woman behind the man spoke, her voice was crisp, just as thin as a mosquito fly.

"You're embarrassed to say, if it weren't for the fact that you lost the way-finding spirit rat, we wouldn't be so troublesome now. The man on the side also spoke, as if he was a little helpless, and said with his hand on his forehead.

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but grab Ding Nan's arm, stopped his next words, raised his head and said, "Immortal elders, the place you are talking about is the back mountain of our Wushan area, and it is an extremely dangerous area, even our people in the mountains will not easily set foot in it. But, Immortal Chief, I can take you and wait, if you don't mind, I'm blind. ”

"Ah Chen, you can't go to the back mountain, Grandpa Liu has said it there, it's very dangerous, have you forgotten the kid who entered the back mountain in the town a few years ago?" Lu Chen felt Ding Nan's arm break free of his palm, and grabbed his shoulder in turn, with eagerness in his voice, Ding Nan didn't want Lu Chen to be stupid.

"I know, I haven't forgotten, isn't there a few immortal masters here, with them, I believe it will be fine, I also want to go into the back mountain to see if I can find the news of the elixir, this opportunity is also very rare for me. Brother Ding, don't worry, I won't risk my life casually. Thank you, Brother Ding. Lu Chen felt the genuine concern in Ding Nan's words, and his nose couldn't help but be sour, and he lowered his head and said softly.

"It's okay, we'll protect you. Then, let's go into the mountain now" The man who had just been arguing with the young woman frowned when he heard Lu Chen's words, and then spoke.

Ding Nan also knew that he couldn't stop Lu Chen at this moment, sighed, leaned over and said in Lu Chen's ear, "Ah Chen, you pay attention to your own safety, the immortal master has always been superior to ordinary people, I will talk to Grandpa Liu about your affairs, we will wait for you for half an hour when we go down the mountain, if you are still in the future, then you have to pay attention to yourself going down the mountain." ”

hugged Ding Nan, over the years, Ding Nan has taken care of himself, Lu Chen has remembered in his heart, this is a few years older than himself, but he is one of the few people in the town who is really good to him, just like his real big brother. The words of gratitude in my heart, thousands of words came to my mouth, but they only turned into a sentence of care.

Immediately, he and a few young men turned around and walked into the dense foliage.
