Chapter 192: Something Happened to Medicine Mountain
Lu Chen was also about to ask Jiang Li for the details of the death of the medicinal herbs, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on the way to the main hall of the medicine hall.
I'm afraid it's the people from the Dan Hall or the Jing Hall who have arrived! Lu Chen and Jiang Li looked at each other and were silent in tacit understanding. I saw three figures walking slowly towards the main hall of the medicine hall. Three young men, two men and one woman. Lu Chen, the woman in white, didn't know her, so his gaze swept over her. When he looked at the two men, a sharp glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
These two men, he actually recognized them at a glance, the one walking in front was Wei Wenyan, and the other person was Xia Hantian.
At the beginning, in the distribution of the assessment of the outer disciples, it was this Wei Wenyan who arranged one of his new outer disciples to the mine hall in the four halls of the sect for a far-fetched reason. Although Lu Chen didn't mind going to the mine hall, it was the difference between being calculated and taking the initiative to go, and he would have to settle this account with Wei Wenyan, Xia Hantian and others sooner or later!
At this moment, Wei Wenyan and Xia Hantian also noticed Lu Chen, and the look in their eyes was almost the same as when Bai Murong noticed Lu Chen before, they were both slightly stunned, obviously they didn't expect to meet Lu Chen at this moment. After recovering from their senses, Wei Wenyan and Xia Hantian's eyes looking at Lu Chen all revealed a faint hint of mockery and disdain. However, at this time, Wei Wenyan and Xia Hantian were quite screwed up and did not show too much.
Soon, the three of them came to the crowd.
"I've seen Elder Qiu. ”
"I've seen Elder Fan. ”
Wei Wenyan, Xia Hantian and the woman in white saluted Qiu Zhenchuan and Fan Sheng. Qiu Zhenchuan and Fan Sheng smiled slightly, signaling that everyone did not need to be formal.
After a salute, Wei Wenyan took a step forward, bowed to Qiu Zhenchuan and said, "Elder Ouyang, Elder Chu and Elder Fei all want to come to the Medicine Hall to personally solve the current problem for the Medicine Hall, but the three elders are now at the critical juncture of alchemy, and they are really lacking in skills, so the three elders ordered their disciples to confess to Elder Qiu. ”
Before Wei Wenyan's words fell, Qiu Zhenchuan raised his empty hand forward, only to see that Wei Wenyan's body had been lifted by a gust of wind, and he could not continue to salute him. Qiu Zhenchuan smiled slightly, and said: "Master Wei's nephew doesn't need to say much, the three elders have done their best to refine the sect, how can Qiu not know, how can he blame them." Besides, with the help of all the sages and nephews this time, the problem of the medicine hall will definitely be solved. ”
The Elder Ouyang, Elder Chu, and Elder Fei in Wei Wenyan's mouth are probably the three elders of the Dantang! After Qiu Zhenchuan said this, Lu Chen originally thought that the death of the medicinal materials in the Medicine Hall was imminent, and Qiu Zhenchuan, as the Elder of the Medicine Hall, was bound to personally lead everyone to the Medicine Mountain where the incident occurred. However, the next scene was unexpected by Lu Chen.
I saw the sword-hugging young man in the medicine hall standing forward, like a sharp sword poking between everyone. Then the sword-hugging young man glanced at Wei Wenyan and the woman in white with burning eyes, and asked, "How many of you are here in the Dan Hall and the Jing Hall?"
Wei Wenyan and the woman in white looked at each other, both smiled bitterly, and said, "Senior Brother Huifeng, there are a few of us from the Dantang and Jingtang. ”
Seeing this, Lu Chen knew that the woman in white was from the Jingtang, and at the same time was secretly surprised, it turned out that the young man with the sword was surnamed Feng, and it seemed that he was waiting for someone from the Dantang and the Jingtang to arrive, but after hearing Wei Wenyan and the woman in white's answer, the eyes of the young man holding the sword revealed a sense of loss.
Qiu Zhenchuan shook his head and smiled: "I told you a long time ago, they won't come today, you don't listen, you have to wait here, three months later, it will be the big competition of the sect, why are you in a hurry." ”
"Since they didn't come, the disciple will go back to cultivate. The young man holding the sword nodded, and after speaking, the figure flickered, and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone around him didn't seem surprised by this, and a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. At the same time, his heart moved slightly, three months later, it turned out to be a big competition of the sect, why didn't he receive any news in the mine. Although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, Lu Chen knew that it was not appropriate to ask more questions at this moment.
"Please come with me to Medicine Mountain. After the young man holding the sword left, Qiu Zhenchuan said decisively. After saying this, he took the lead and walked towards a medicine mountain behind the main hall of the medicine hall, followed by Jiang Li and Bai Murong.
The people of the three halls came to the medicine hall to solve the problem of the death of the medicinal materials for the medicine hall, and naturally there would be no objections at this moment, and they all followed the people of the medicine hall to the medicine mountain where the incident occurred.
On the way to the medicine mountain where the incident occurred, Lu Chen learned that the woman in white in the scripture hall was named Qin Qi, and she was the inner disciple of the sect like Wei Wenyan.
Qiu Zhenchuan personally led the way, although the speed was slightly faster, Jiang Li and Bai Murong could easily follow, and Lu Chen naturally did not feel difficult. After passing through the main hall of the medicine hall, there are carefully cared for medicine mountains in front of you, and the fragrance of flowers and fruits and medicine is refreshing with the wind, which is a different scene compared with the monotonous spirit stone pit of the mine.
With a sweep of his gaze, Lu Chen recognized several medicinal materials from the nearby medicine mountains. Yang Yuan Fruit, Flame Flower, Fire Spirit Grass, Dragon Root...... There are some medicinal materials suitable for growing in the fire attribute aura, and they are nourished by the fire attribute aura between heaven and earth, and the medicinal materials on the medicine mountain are growing gratifyingly.
After going deep into the medicine mountain of the medicine hall for a while, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit slightly.
Looking from afar, I saw that there were eight or nine medicine mountains in front of me as if the color had been lost, and there was no bright color of the nearby medicine mountains, nor did the refreshing medicinal fragrance come to my face. Although he hadn't set foot on the medicine mountain to take a closer look, Lu Chen immediately guessed that the eight or nine medicine mountains in front of him were probably the medicine mountains where the medicinal herbs died.
Sure enough, when Qiu Zhenchuan led everyone to these medicine mountains, he stopped and said with a solemn expression: "This is the medicine mountain where the incident occurred. ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked forward.
Looking at the dead mountain of medicinal materials in front of him, Fan Sheng's expression gradually became solemn. The Medicine Mountain of the Medicine Hall is the same as the Spirit Stone Mine Pit of the Mine Hall, it is an extremely important existence for the entire Red Fire Gate! After observing for a moment, Fan Sheng suddenly said, "This should still be the Medicine Mountain in the outer circle of the Medicine Hall. ”
"That's good!" Qiu Zhenchuan said in a deep voice: "This is indeed the outer circle of the medicine hall, but further forward is the inner circle of the medicine hall. The ten medicine mountains in the outer circle are not as good as the one medicine mountain in the inner circle, and the medicinal materials in the outer circle of the medicine mountain have a tendency to spread to the medicine mountain in the inner circle, and the medicine hall is helpless from top to bottom, and I am also at a loss. If it weren't for that, how could the medicine hall ask the other three halls for help. ”
When Lu Chen heard this, he was secretly curious in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicinal materials were planted on the medicine mountain in the inner circle of the medicine hall, and even the ten outer circle medicine mountains were not as good as one inner circle medicine mountain. However, it is also possible that the medicinal materials on the inner circle medicine mountain are extremely high in age, even if they are ordinary medicinal materials, once the year is high, they are still very valuable.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Lu Chen didn't think much about it, and looked at the people in the Dantang and Jingtang, only to see Wei Wenyan and Xia Hantian looking like they were all in the chest, and they seemed to have a great grasp of solving the problem of the death of the medicinal materials in the medicine hall. Qin Qi in the Jingtang frowned and fell into deep thought. Looking at the side again, Fan Shangzhi also had a thoughtful look.
After a while, Qin Qi finished his contemplation, looked at Qiu Zhenchuan with beautiful eyes, and asked, "Disciple heard that the death of medicinal materials in the medicine hall happened gradually, I don't know which of the nine medicine mountains is the first medicine mountain where the death of medicinal materials occurs?"
Qiu Zhenchuan raised his hand and pointed to a medicine mountain in front of everyone, and said, "The first medicine mountain where the death of medicinal materials occurred is the one in front of you - No. 17 Medicine Mountain. When I realized that the momentum of the death of the medicinal herbs could not be curbed, I ordered the mountain to be closed, and now more than seventy percent of the medicinal materials on this medicine mountain have died, and the remaining two percent of the medicinal materials have not completely died, but they are also dying and not far from dying. Qiu Zhenchuan knew that in order to trace the origin, it was necessary to come to the first medicine mountain where the incident occurred, so he brought everyone to this medicine mountain at the beginning.
"Can I go up and have a look?" Qin Qi asked.
"Naturally. ”
Qin Qi walked towards the medicine mountain, and after stepping on the medicine mountain, she did not rush to check the death of all the medicinal herbs, but walked towards a field of flame anthers, and carefully examined it in this field of flame anthers. If it were an ordinary time, this field of flame anthers would be full of floral fragrance, and the flowers would bloom brightly like fire, but at this moment, the flame flowers have long lost their original color, crawling in the medicine field, and some have even completely rotted and melted into the soil.
Picking up a flame flower that had not completely decayed, Qin Qi put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly for a moment, from the corolla along the flower stem all the way to the root of the flame flower, Qin Qi did not let go of a single detail. After a moment, Qin Qi shook his head, and immediately a true qi burst out from his fingertips, lifting the soil at the root of this flame flower, revealing the root system of the flame flower. Qin Qi looked at it carefully again, and at the same time secretly pondered.
Time passed slowly, and Qin Qi stood motionless in the field of flaming anthers. I don't know how long it took, she suddenly put down the root system of the flame flower again, looked at the entire medicine field, and when she confirmed that the flame flowers in the entire medicine field were in the same situation, her figure flashed and rushed to the other medicine fields on the medicine mountain.
The first medicinal mountain where the incident occurred was planted with a total of three medicinal herbs, the Flame Flower, the Yang Yuan Fruit, and the Fire Spirit Grass.
Qin Qi walked into a medicinal field where Yang Yuan Fruit was planted, and then she seemed to repeat exactly what she had done in the Flame Anther Field. However, the time she stayed in the Yang Yuan Fruit Medicine Field was obviously shorter than the time she stayed in the Flame Flower Anther Field, and after about a cup of tea, Qin Qi walked towards the Fire Spirit Grass Medicine Field again, and the previous things were repeated again.
Of the three medicinal herbs, Qin Qi each selected a piece of medicinal field, and after the inspection, she retreated from the medicine mountain.
"The situation on the next eight medicine mountains is the same as this medicine mountain?" Qin Qi asked.
Qiu Zhenchuan nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and asked, "What have you discovered?"
"Returning to Elder, the disciple hasn't found out yet. After a pause, Qin Qi said, "Since there is no difference between the medicine mountain in the back and the first medicine mountain, I won't go up." I'm going to think about it here, what happened on this first medicine mountain. After saying that, Qin Qi didn't say anything more, and fell into deep thought.
