Chapter 313: Accidental Hit
The sky was dark, and after a day of searching, the mountains and forests outside the capital were almost turned over, and there was still no harvest.
When the midday sun shone down, Ling Xin sat down gloomily, with a green shade above his head, and he let out a long sigh.
"I wonder how the eldest princess is now?"
In order to search for the antidote, he didn't return to his house last night, and dealt with it all night in the mountains.
Wu Qiong appeared with a roasted hare.
"Master Hou eats something first. ”
Ling Xin took the rabbit meat and chewed it slowly, suddenly got up in a daze, and then looked around.
"What did Master Hou find?"
"I hear running water, do you hear me?"
Wu Qionghu shook his head suspiciously, and everyone shook their heads too, this is obviously a mountain forest, there is no small stream, where does the sound of flowing water come from.
Ling Xin raised his hand to signal everyone not to speak, and turned his head slightly to listen carefully.
"I'm pretty sure of the sound of running water I just heard, there must be an entrance to the dark river somewhere, everyone hurry up and look for it. ”
The crowd immediately scattered around to look for it.
Unfortunately, no one heard the sound, and the search was fruitless.
Ling Xin didn't give up, he simply unfolded the map and spread it in front of him, moving his fingers inch by inch on the map.
Finally his fingers stopped.
"The place has a canyon. ”
Chang Shan hurried over to take a look, and shook his head after confirming the place.
"The subordinates of this place have already led people to search, and there is indeed a canyon, but there is no miasma forest there. ”
Ling Xin's fingers were around there, spinning back and forth.
"You lead the way, let's go see it again. ”
From where it was to the canyon, there was almost no road, but there were many people, and everyone forced themselves to step on a road.
In the woods, there are little fluffy creatures hanging from the leaves, and their limp bodies swing on the branches, which may stick to people's faces and shoulders at any time.
But Ling Xin didn't care about these, he walked behind Chang Shan and strode forward, even though he was already out of breath because of physical exhaustion.
After half an hour, I went up and down the mountain, and finally stood in front of the canyon, which was a long canyon.
The water flows down from the stone wall to form a waterfall, and finally converges at the bottom of the pool to form a pool, a pool of water is turquoise, and I don't know the depth.
The moisture gradually carried away the sweat on his body, and he instantly felt a lot cooler.
Ling Xin looked at the waterfall in front of him, he didn't feel that he had heard it wrong, but there seemed to be no water in this area except for this canyon, so what was wrong?
He didn't have time to think about it, he simply jumped into a pool of water under the waterfall, the pool water was cold, he held his breath and dived down, the more he went down, the cooler the pool water, he groped his way to the bottom of the waterfall, the water swirled in the pool.
After such a fumping, his physical strength was a little unable to keep up, so he simply showed his head to breathe, and the water that happened to fall from the sky hit his face, and the powerful impact made him sink into the water again.
Fortunately, there was Chang Shan behind him, and he hurriedly dragged his body out of the water.
But the huge impact force made the two still unstable, and they could only stagger than the current.
In the whirlpool, Chang Shan held Ling Xin's hand tightly, for fear that he would be swept into the bottom of the pool by the torrent.
Floating along the torrent Ling Xin and Chang Shan involuntarily, surrounded by sticky and greasy stone walls.
He tried his best to reach out and grab the stone wall, but he couldn't grasp it at all, the stone wall was full of moss, sticky and greasy.
Along the torrent, the two of them were washed away, and the secret guards behind them followed them into the water, for fear that something would happen to the master.
However, it was as if he was in some labyrinth, and he was involuntarily pushed forward by the torrent, and it was so dark that he could not see anything.
Finally, a bright light appeared in front of them, and when the two of them were pushed out by the current, they jumped a few feet high and then fell, and everything in front of them suddenly became clear.
A small lush courtyard looks like someone who is hiding here, and there is a flower garden not far away.
The two were thrown into the water.
On this summer day, he actually felt that his body was cold.
As soon as the two of them stood firm, there was an endless stream of fluttering sounds behind them, and the dark guards and the people who followed the search jumped down one by one.
Chang Shan pointed to the flowerbed opposite, and there was a small house, and the guards suddenly understood, and cautiously crawled closer to the flowerbed.
Such a hidden place, if it is not really easy to find by accident, it is really a good place.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Dark Guard returned.
"Back to the Hou Ye, his subordinates found an abnormality. Less than a hundred steps to the east of the flower garden, there was a small forest, as if shrouded in a layer of fog, and it was impossible to see anything clearly. There seemed to be someone in the room. ”
Chang Shan's expression is very unsightly.
"Don't you know what it means to be someone, whether there is someone or not?"
The man who came back from behind hurriedly corrected him.
"There are people growing vegetables outside the house. He was an old man, about fifty years old. ”
When he heard the miasma forest, Ling Xin's spirit was shocked, and he knew that he had not guessed wrong.
Sure enough, there's a lot going on here.
If it weren't for the fact that he had stumbled into that whirlpool by mistake, he was afraid that he would still be taking people around outside the mountain at this time.
He shook the water off his clothes and followed the guard straight to the miasma forest.
Sure enough, I saw the miasma in front of me from a distance, like a fog.
Sure enough, what the old-timer said was right, there must be someone in the capital who planted cordyceps to attract long-winged insects, so there must be an antidote here.
He wanted to find it himself, but Chang Shan stopped him.
"Hou Ye's body may not be able to withstand the miasma, so let my subordinates take people with them, Hou Ye is waiting here. ”
"Okay, be careful. ”
He rubbed his hands together excitedly.
At this time, the kung fu guards had already arrested the old man who was growing vegetables in front of the house.
The old man looked at the fifties away, and the crane had a childish face.
The clothes are simple, and the face reveals the temperament of a worldly master.
This kind of person doesn't look like it's for fame and fortune, so why would he be in the same league as Ning?
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my territory and trample on my things. ”
The old man's temper didn't look good, and he stared at the trampled cabbage on the ground and roared.
Ling Xin turned around calmly and looked directly at the old man in front of him.
"Who are you, and why are you living in seclusion here?"
The old man glanced at him and shook off the guard's confinement.
"Who are you who have broken into my territory and asked me questions? ”
"Presumptuous, what do you plant in that forest?"
Wu Qiong couldn't hold his breath and scolded.
The old man raised his eyelids, glanced at the name of the miasma not far away, and rolled his eyes.
"If I plant something in this deep mountain and old forest, I have to be taken care of, who are you?"
