Chapter Fifty-Nine: Saliva Grass, Wild Cassia

Brother Chicken pecked ferociously, a pair of sharp claws desperately scratching at the guy who was coiling and writhing underneath him.

On one side, the two hens were at a loss, clucking on top of each other, while the chicks were cowering at the other end of the coop, shivering in the face of the predators who naturally occupied the upper part of the food chain.

Whoop!

Laugh at!

Crying highly, Brother Chicken finally relied on the fat and strength that had risen sharply in recent times, and pierced his front beak into the scales.

Blood splattered, and the worms writhed in pain, trying to entangle and screw the food that was riding on them.

This is what Chen Yu saw when he arrived.

The big fiery rooster on the top kept fluttering and jumping, and the dust was scattered, and sometimes there were claws and sharp beaks to greet and fall. Its opponent was a king snake about five or six feet long.

Yellow and black, with slender scales.

The rooster fights the long snake, and the scene is very intense.

Chen Yu looked to the side, and sure enough, the chicken shed was not broken, but the soil in the corner had been dug a big hole.

That's where the worm sucked in.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, a chicken with drooping wings was lying on the ground, its feathers disheveled, motionless.

"......", he took two steps closer, pinched a wooden stick into his hand, weighed it, and then approached silently, intending to teach the chicken thief a harsh lesson.

But I don't know if Brother Chicken is too fierce, he actually beat the snake to the point of defeat, and without waiting for Chen Yu to step forward, he got out of the chicken shed and fled away.

Relying on his kung fu, he chased after him, but the sky was dark and the grass was deep, and he really didn't notice it after looking around before turning back.

This unfortunate one was urged by a snake.

Chen Yu lowered his body and picked up the chicken carcass.

The chicken brother who was holding his head high on the side like a victorious general had shiny and fluffy feathers on his neck, and when he saw the two-legged beast, he pounced on it without hesitation the next moment.

God knows what kind of grudge this guy has with him!

This time the other party made a great contribution, Chen Yu didn't care, only slowly pushed the other party away, and then walked out of the chicken shed.

With a hoe, he dug a small pit far away from the Taoist temple and buried the chickens.

"There are a lot of beasts in the mountains, and I wanted to leak it before."

So I went back to the yard and found some tiles to fill in the bottom of the chicken shed, and compacted the gap between the fence and the ground.

I searched around by the way, and I really found several large and small potholes - I don't need to think about it to know that they are all dubbed out by the vaguely remaining panicked hens and chickens in front of me.

"One by one, not worrying."

Chen Yu pinched his chin and thought for a while, vaguely remembering that there was a realgar in the Taoist temple, and returned to the Taoist temple to rummage around, but found nothing.

He had no choice but to choose other ways, driving away a snake today, and maybe there would be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

We have to put an end to future troubles forever.

Memories flipped through, Chen Yu locked his eyes on the insect repellent herbs, and planned to go into the mountains to look for them at dawn tomorrow.

"Saliva grass...... If you look like this, it seems that there is one on the other side of the cliff, and there is this, and I have encountered it in the mountain stream. ”

There are still some things in the memory of the predecessor, Chen Yu found several earthworks that are said to be able to repel insects and snakes, and prepared to pick them one by one, whether it is rubbing powder or transplanting, they are all arranged for the Taoist temple.

After this experience, I didn't have the mind to practice martial arts, so I sat in the courtyard and thought about the spiritual exercises that only got up for a while.

After combing through the whole situation, smoothing out the two mistakes, closing the eyes and running, and pulling the spirit, although it still dissipated quickly, it lasted a few breaths compared to before.

Chen Yu's face was calm, and there was no disappointment in his eyes.

"Little by little, take your time."

In contrast, the progress of the Soul Strengthening Technique was much faster. As early as April, he combined the external practice method with it, greatly speeding up the external training. Although the effect of the spiritual liquid is limited now, there is already some clue about the further excavation and development of the body strengthening technique.

……

The next day, the sky was bright.

Gave incense to Master Daozu early, walked the qi collection technique to Chaoxia, and then Chen Yu walked towards the cliff with the basket on his back.

It was the location of his first mushroom picking.

On the way, I recalled descriptions and information about snake repellent herbs in my head.

There are two main points: saliva grass and wild cassia

The latter also has an easy-to-understand name - snake extinguishing door.

In comparison, it is obvious that the effect of Cassia is better, but it is much more difficult to see than the former.

It mainly grows in the north of Guangyong, and there is only a sporadic distribution in this area, so whether you can find it depends on luck.

Walking up the hillside, over the steep cliffs, I came to the sunken pit again, and the dead wood was still at the bottom, and there was a layer of luxuriant ferns, and a few yellow and red speckled mushrooms stuck to the trunk, and there were spider webs, hanging in the still air waiting for the prey to come.

Chen Yu walked around, but he didn't find the saliva grass, but he pulled a lot of the fruit from the ground, removed the grass and soil, peeled off the skin, and sent it to his mouth, and the juice was sweet.

Walking inside, the grass and fruits are everywhere, the flowers and plants are colorful, and the butterflies flutter in front of you, forming pairs.

"There's a handful."

His eyesight led him to quickly spot something in the shade of a tree.

Pick it up and throw it in the basket and move on.

The saliva grass is low and slender, with a few nodulous fruits on the top, and it grows a little bumpy, but the effect is really good.

Not too deep, too shady and damp places where the snake extinction rarely grows, and he plans to try his luck on the periphery.

I searched the lawn until I found the first plant after about half an hour.

The six-foot-tall trunk stands upright, the leaves are like eggs and cumbersome, and the top is hung with bright yellow flower bones, which have not yet bloomed, but the rare fresh smell comes from them.

Carefully identified, it was determined that it was a snake destroying the door, Chen Yu pinched off the petioles, and the smell of the purple-red glands inside could disperse most of the snakes.

In fact, wild cassia can not only repel snakes, but also turn poison, stop swelling, and cure dysentery, and its uses can be described as diverse.

"Go on."

On the mountain, the young man jumped off the stone platform with a bamboo basket on his back, landed on a black stone, and immediately bent down to pick a tall grass rooted in the soil.

Then he bent his legs and jumped up, climbed up in three or five steps, and walked to another place.

Maybe it's really lucky, and there have been some gains since I found the first snake to destroy the door.

It took Chen Yu less than two hours to find more than 20 plants. Many of them have been uprooted and are ready to be taken back for transplantation.

It is really okay if the transplant is not alive, and the branches and leaves can repel snakes, including ants and insects, which are equally effective.

After shuttling through the mountains and forests and searching for a while, he estimated that the basket of herbs should be enough, and he wanted to return, but accidentally found a pair of footprints in a woodland.

Large, sunken in blades of grass.

"Bear? Tiger? ”

In terms of size, it is true that only the physique of these two can coincide.

Thinking like this, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this mountain in front of him really has everything.

Last time, I met a gluttonous deer here, and I also spoiled a medicinal herb for him, and now it is suspected that a large beast such as a tiger and bear has appeared.

In the final analysis, there should be no less attention to it.

Even if the cliff is some distance from the Taoist temple, it will be a long detour if you have to walk through the woodland behind you instead of taking the mountain road. But there's no guarantee that these guys won't be as reckless as that stupid deer.

"Go back and make the chicken shed stronger, and the medicine garden must also add another layer so that it will not be washed away."

As for himself, Chen Yu wasn't too worried.

It is indeed difficult to slaughter the tiger and the bear, but with light work in hand, it is definitely no problem to run.
