Chapter 103: The Garden of Herbs

Leaving the experimental building, which still emits an ominous whisper, and following a secluded promenade across Linzhong Lake, the freshmen were led by Professor Li Qihuang to the backyard of the university, stopping in front of a low, two-story independent building.

The professor told the students to wait for a moment, but he went straight into the small building.

A moment later, when Professor Li walked out of the small building again, the black professor's robe that had been worn on his body was gone, replaced by a short gray coat, like the uniform of the school workers, but with a subtle difference in style.

He looked like a farmer with a wide straw hat on his back, a brass watering can with a long spout in one hand, and a pointed shovel with a long wooden handle in the other.

"This is the botanical garden of the Nine Universities, and it is also one of the largest spiritual gardens of the First University. Professor Li held the shovel, and his originally rickety body was much straighter, and then he waved the brass watering can in his hand and added, "This is what I mentioned to you before, another fascinating place in pharmacy is the magical magical plant world. ”

"There are not only Poria cocos, 100-year-old Polygonum multiflori, thousand-year-old ginseng seeds, iceberg snow lotus, Dendrobium officinalis, etc., these amazing tonics, but also the shape of Su and Chihua, which can poison fish, the yellowing and round leaves, the yellow vitex that does not take the word, and the white flowers and black fruits, the shape of leeks, which can not only cure the sores but also dispel the illusion. And so on and so forth. ”

"Today, I'm going to take you on a little bit of the park. ”

"Before entering the garden, I need to remind you not to touch any plant in the garden without permission, whether you see it as a good grass or an evil wood, or if you see a man-eating flower swallowing a ginseng seed running around, you can't help the stupid sense of justice in your heart. ”

"Either way, don't touch any of the plants. ”

"Maybe the plants you touch will wither because of external stimuli...... At that time, it will not be a situation that can be solved by a few jade coins. ”

Professor Li raised his voice and solemnly warned everyone.

The students nodded honestly and quickly recorded the details mentioned by the professor in their notebooks.

"Well, in the end, before entering the garden, everyone put away the textbooks, notebooks, and even pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and took their ears and eyes with them, and wrote them down when they left the garden. ”

Zheng Qing was stunned, frustrated and stuffed the stationery into his gray cloth bag, and then looked around with some anxiety.

The scholar left the pen and paper in his hand, like a swordsman who had lost his sword, and people couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Keep up, keep up. Xin Fat Man dragged the public scholarship student in a daze and followed the professor to the back of the building.

Zheng Qing came back to his senses, quickly cheered up, and hurriedly followed with the students behind him.

At First University, each college has its own botanical garden to cultivate magical plants that are commonly used in the teaching of its own college.

When he first entered the school, Nicholas once led Zheng Qing here, but he only passed through the door and did not enter, and only had a cursory understanding of the portal.

Turning around the small building, there is a thin and dilapidated arched round door in front of it, and a black wooden sign hangs on the lintel, on which the words 'Baicao Garden' are written in green paint.

The walls on both sides of the gate are covered with stone blocks of mystical characters, all of which are hollow, and through the gaps, you can see the lush vegetation of the garden.

"I thought the school would at least have a glass enclosure outside the botanical garden. Zheng Qing looked at the plants in the garden through the gaps, and couldn't help but say to Xiao Xiao: "I didn't expect it to be so simple to break the wall." ”

Xiao Xiao didn't hold a notebook in his arms, and his temper was much worse.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Zheng Qing, but did not speak, but his eyes unmistakably expressed his contempt.

Zhang Jixin stood aside and explained the contempt of the watermelon head appropriately: "Don't underestimate this broken wall, when I came to receive the task a few days ago, Uncle Stendhal warned us, saying that we should not casually put your hand into those gaps in the wall, we will die." ”

Zheng Qing was terrified.

He just remembered that the punitive task that Zhang Jixin received from the school working committee was to come to the botanical garden to do chores. In this way, the words that came out of his mouth added some credibility.

Several classmates next to him obviously also thought of this, and came over one after another to ask Zhang Jixin about things in the garden.

"Are you really dead?When did it happen, how many people died?Did you die because of poisoning or were you killed by the defense spell of the garden?" Duan Xiaojian inquired about the dead man with great interest.

"You've already entered the garden, is it big inside, and I've heard that you're going to be searched when you enter and leave the garden, is it true?"

"Who is Uncle Stendhal?" Zheng Qing also leaned over curiously.

Zhang Jixin obviously didn't expect his classmates to have such a strong curiosity, and after a long while, he sorted out the question a little, picked up a few and replied:

"Uncle Stendhal is the caretaker of the Herb Garden, and like Old Man Hemingway, he is an old school worker. ”

Zheng Qing: "Uncle Stendhal didn't tell us more about the dead man in the garden...... That's not a good thing in the first place. It's just that he mentioned that there was a very powerful curse attached to these walls, colluding with the guardian array of the Nine Beings Academy. Any unauthorized intrusion will be met with the full force of the Academy's Guardian Array. ”

Zheng Qing was standing at the door, his fingers rubbing the gray skin rolled up on the wall, and through the gap in the wall, he looked at a red plant running around the ridges in the garden, eager to try. I can't replace the stocky old man with his head on his back and thumping his waist behind the plant.

Suddenly hearing Zhang Jixin's remarks, he was shocked, retreated again and again, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell.

This appearance made several students around him laugh and lean forwards and leaned back.

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is no malice, there will be no danger. Zhang Jixin smiled and held him.

"Who will judge whether I have malicious intentions?" Zheng Qing stood up straight, blushing and retorted, "I can't leave my life to a botanical garden to judge." ”

"Very sensible. A cold female voice next to her interjected into their conversation.

Zheng Qing turned his head, it was Jiang Yu.

She sternly looked at several classmates gathered around the courtyard wall, and said dissatisfiedly: "One of the important places of the academy here, it is not too careful to be careful...... You guys are so reckless. ”

Without waiting for the others to speak, she continued: "Come on, Professor Li is handing out protective clothing...... I'm afraid there won't be any clothes that fit if it's late. ”

Without waiting for them to answer, he hurriedly beckoned another group of students.

"Protective clothing?" Zheng Qing asked curiously as he walked towards Professor Li as he walked towards him.

"I almost forgot. Zhang Jixin looked annoyed: "You don't need to search your body when you enter the garden, but you need to change into protective clothing." On the one hand, we protect the plants in the garden, and on the other hand, we also protect ourselves. ”

"These suits are all standard and available in every model, but in limited quantities. There are a lot of people here today, and I'm afraid we won't be able to pick out the right clothes if we go late. ”
