Volume 1: A Young Man Comes from the Mountains Chapter 116: I'll Go With You
The three of them continued to walk towards the center of the medicine garden in front of them with strong curiosity, the closer they got to the center, although the number of medicinal herbs was decreasing, the age of the medicine was obviously increasing, and the morning wind had already seen several 10,000-year-old herbs, and even more so thousands of years.
Along the way, Chenfeng has never picked any medicinal herbs, even the rare 10,000-year-old herbs, which makes Bai Zhuo and Hu Ying, who followed closely behind, full of curiosity, Bai Zhuo wanted to ask the reason several times, but looking at Chenfeng's fascinated appearance, they all wanted to say nothing.
"Wow! what a beautiful lake!"
The three of them finally walked to the center of this medicine garden at noon, Hu Ying couldn't help but admire softly when he looked at the lake in front of him, and Chen Feng and Bai Zhuo looked at the small lake in the center and their hearts were swaying.
The small lake in front of the three of them was rippling, clear and clear, and there were no fish or anything in the lake, but it was strange that standing on the edge of the lake could not see the bottom of the lake at a glance, as if the lake water came from the ground.
Of course, the strangest thing is that there is a small tree floating on the surface of the lake in the center of the lake, and the small branches of the tree are more than three feet high, and it grows quietly on the surface of the lake like rootless duckweed. From the angle from which the three of Morrowind stood, they could only see the stalks and branches on the water, but there were no roots or whiskers underwater.
"It's weird!"
On the edge of the lake, Chenfeng, who thought he had excellent eyesight, stared at the lake for a long time and couldn't help muttering, not knowing whether to sigh at the bottomless depth of the lake or the lush small trees in the center of the lake.
"Why don't you pick some herbs, there won't be this shop in this village. ”
Bai Zhuo could also see the peculiarity of this small lake, and in order to ease the tense nerves of the three of them, he asked the doubts that had been held in his heart along the way.
"I want to, too, but ...... As soon as I entered this medicine garden, I felt as if something was calling to me, and it was very familiar, but I didn't expect it......"
Chenfeng pointed to the small lake in front of him, a little slugging, and he was also puzzled by the strange feeling in his heart.
"Familiar feeling? Could it be that this is the medicine garden planted by Lian Lao?"
Listening to Chenfeng's words, Bai Zhuo thought that Lian Chengyu was the only genuine high-level alchemist in Canglan Mountain, but he couldn't confirm it, so he had to tentatively remind Chenfeng.
Bai Zhuo's thoughts are not unreasonable, if you want to say that there are people who grow medicinal herbs in the depths of Canglan Mountain, Lian Chengyu is really the most likely person. Because the demon clan does not know how to refine medicine, it is well known that if they don't refine medicine, naturally no one will be idle to plant such a large medicine garden, and no one outside Canglan Mountain seems to have the courage to come here to plant medicinal herbs.
"Probably not. ”
Chenfeng turned his head and looked at the patches of medicinal herbs around him, rejecting Bai Zhuo's conjecture. If nothing else, if Lian Chengyu did it here, then when he first started learning the knowledge of alchemy, Lian Chengyu would definitely bring himself over in order to identify the herbs.
"Then let's be more careful, or hurry up and pick some herbs, and then ...... Withdraw?"
Bai Zhuo was faintly worried in his heart after entering this place, on the one hand, he was afraid of the unknown, and on the other hand, the encounter in the land of Taiyin made him feel a little frightened.
"Well, it seems that this is the only way to go. ”
Chenfeng looked at the bottomless lake, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided not to rush into it for the sake of prudence, and was ready to pick some precious herbs and leave.
"Look!"
Just when Chenfeng was about to start collecting medicine, Hu Ying's small exclamation suddenly came from behind the two, as if they had seen an extremely incredible scene.
The two of them turned around in response, first startled, and then they didn't know if it was the reason for the excessive shock, and their eyes widened in unison.
Next to the lush small tree in the center of the lake, a teenage girl stood in the air at some point, looking curiously at the three of them by the lake with dark eyes.
No one knows when she appeared, no one knows how she appeared, let alone who she is.
"Have you seen enough?"
After a short period of "eight eyes facing each other", Hu Ying blushed and snorted. Not for anything else, just because the little girl who suddenly appeared in the center of the lake was naked, and there was not a single strand on her body.
Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo were a little embarrassed after listening to Hu Ying's scolding, forcibly suppressed the many doubts and curiosity in their hearts, and turned around curtly, both of them saw the body of the opposite sex for the first time, and the panic in their hearts was no less than the panic caused by the sudden appearance of the little girl.
"Hello, my name is Hu Ying. What do you call it? I have extra clean clothes here, do you want to ......?"
After watching Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo turn around, Hu Ying asked softly to the little girl in the lake.
Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo were naturally also curious about the little girl's origin, and after hearing Hu Ying's inquiry, they couldn't help but prick up their ears, hoping to know more about the little girl's answer.
However, it backfired, after listening to Hu Ying's words, the little girl not only did not respond at all, but also did not react to her facial expressions, still staring at the three of them by herself, as if she had not heard Hu Ying's question.
"It's not going to be deaf, is it?"
Bai Zhuo saw that there was no movement behind him, and he was embarrassed to turn around at the moment, so he had to whisper to the morning breeze beside him. In this regard, Chenfeng could only shake his head helplessly.
Next, when Bai Zhuo and Chenfeng could not come forward to negotiate, Hu Ying cautiously reported her home, explained her whereabouts, and even expressed that she had just accidentally broken into the house without any harm, but the little girl was still unmoved.
"She is a medicine spirit, she was born with the love of all things and knows the appearance of all things, you kid shit luck can be. ”
Just when the three of them were in a dilemma that they couldn't leave or stay, the voice of the Xuantian Instrument Spirit suddenly came from Chenfeng's heart.
"Medicine spirit?"
Chenfeng couldn't help but exclaim, and when he turned his head and saw Bai Zhuo looking at him suspiciously, he realized that the voice of the Xuantian Instrument Spirit should only be heard by him.
Morrowind and Bai Zhuo didn't know the little girl's reaction because they had their backs to the lake.
Only Hu Ying clearly saw that when Chenfeng accidentally said the word medicine spirit, although the little girl was still speechless, her expression changed for the first time, from the initial curiosity to the current doubt, and even a little fear.
"What is a medicine spirit?"
Morrowind didn't know that the two words he said inadvertently had changed the little girl who appeared in the center of the lake, and at this moment, he hurriedly asked the Xuantian Instrument Spirit for advice in his heart.
"You don't know the medicine spirit, you're still a half-alchemist, it's really ......"
The machine spirit seemed to be very helpless about Morrowind's question, and his voice was full of ridicule and ridicule, and Morrowind could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
"All things have spirits, the medicine spirit is the essence of the herb, although the combat ability is weak, but its effect is very big, I remember there is a saying that this medicine spirit is a moving treasure, a walking treasure house, I don't know the other specifics, but for you alchemists must be the rarest treasure, compared to the heavenly fire. ”
The Xuantian Instrument Spirit patiently explained.
Chenfeng felt a shock in his brain after saying that all things are animist, until he heard that the last one was better than the heavenly fire, and the whole person was stunned in place. Although I don't know what the medicine spirit has to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but I think that the machine spirit should not be untargeted, this medicine spirit is really wonderful, and the curiosity in Chenfeng's heart can't help but be even worse.
"So how do you communicate with her?"
Shocked, Morrowind thought of the crux of the problem and immediately asked a question, for fear that the machine spirit would suddenly close itself again and ignore him.
"I don't know. ”
After the machine spirit said a cold word, it disappeared again without a trace, as if it had exhausted all its strength with those words.
"Uh......"
Morrowind was a little overwhelmed, he was still a little uncomfortable with such a neat and neat style of acting like a machine spirit, and for a while he was a little bit of a godless, although he knew that the little girl was a herb essence and a great benefit to the alchemist, but he was still at a loss.
"I'm a third-grade alchemist, although my ability is low, if there's anything that can help you, I'll do my best. ”
After a long time, after some hard thinking and meditation, Chenfeng recalled all the books he had read, and after confirming that he knew nothing about the medicine spirit, he had no choice but to say this when there was no better way to communicate with the medicine spirit.
"Open your heart and let me see?"
The three of them didn't expect that after listening to Chenfeng's words, the little girl hanging in the middle of the lake would respond. The voice was as quiet and peaceful as this, calm and waveless, without a trace of emotion and fireworks, unusually ethereal and unearthly.
"Open your heart? ”
Seeing that the medicine spirit finally responded, Morrowind was excited in his heart, and when he didn't know what it meant to open his heart, he agreed categorically.
As soon as Chenfeng's voice fell, he suddenly felt that his body sank and his eyes were dark, and then there were bursts of dizziness in his mind, and he wanted to vomit, and he couldn't help coughing a few times and then bent over and squatted on the ground.
At the same time, the little girl in the center of the lake had disappeared, and Hu Ying couldn't help but shake her head and rub her eyes again, she watched the little girl disappear in an instant like air.
The dizzy morning breeze vaguely knew the meaning of opening his heart at this moment, as if he was exposing all his thoughts and secrets, and at this moment he felt that there was a pair of invisible hands looking through his book of memory, all the bits and pieces he had experienced in the past years, his various thoughts all along, the ups and downs of life so far, etc., were clearly seen by others.
Morrowind didn't know that after he opened his heart, it wasn't just the medicine spirit who was looking through his decades of experience, but the Xuantian Instrument Spirit was also among them. The machine spirit was first dissatisfied with Morrowind for letting go of its guard so easily, and was about to forcibly interrupt, but it looked at it and suddenly fell silent.
Bai Zhuo and Hu Ying looked at the morning breeze squatting on the ground, their eyes were scattered, and they couldn't help but be anxious, and then they saw that the little girl in the center of the lake had disappeared, and they all mistakenly thought that the morning breeze had provoked the little girl with a mysterious origin because of his unruly words.
"Senior, no offense, please raise your noble hand! The three of us will leave quickly, and promise not to say a word about everything here. ”
Bai Zhuo had no choice but to turn around and apologize to the quiet lake, mistakenly thinking that the little girl was a high-ranking hermit hidden in the deep lake.
"I'll go with you!"
Just when Chenfeng felt powerless and was about to faint, the little girl appeared in front of her again, although she was still expressionless at the moment, but the tone of her voice and the look in her eyes were more humane in it.
"Huh?"
Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo were both startled, and exclaimed at the same time. Chenfeng stared at the little girl's medicine spirit in front of him in disbelief, and the feeling of nausea and vomiting disappeared in an instant, as if it was just a dream just now.
