Chapter 11 Gambling

The basket carried the people for nearly a day, flew nearly 20,000 miles, and descended in a large dark valley.

The basket fell on a mountaintop platform dozens of zhang high, and several monks commanded everyone to lie down on the basket in turn, and the monk surnamed Lu stood in front of everyone and said:

"This is our destination, there are a lot of medicinal materials in this valley, but our main task is to pick those valuable medicinal materials first, it doesn't matter if you have medicinal materials you don't know, this time the sect has specially sent a few disciples who are more interested in medicinal materials to cooperate with you."

The monk surnamed Lu said, waving his hand at Su Qing and the other nine: "A few of you come to the front."

When Su Qing and the others heard this, they hurriedly came to stand next to the monk surnamed Lu.

"Now we will start grouping, the nine disciples in the medicinal herb sorting room will take you to collect medicine separately equally, and now we will start grouping. The monk surnamed Lu said, and began to take the roll call one by one.

In the end, the nine sorting room lay disciples who came with Su Qing each brought more than a dozen people under their names.

"Lu, Deacon Lu, I have something to say" Waiting for the monk surnamed Lu to separate the people, Jing An suddenly proposed.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly," the monk surnamed Lu didn't want others to have objections to his allocation, and when he heard Jing An's words, he obviously showed a look of displeasure.

"Senior Brother Su has only been here for two or three months, and I am afraid that Senior Brother Su is not very familiar with medicinal materials and will have an impact on our mission, so I want to form a team with Senior Brother Su Qing and ask Deacon Lu to learn clearly."

As soon as Jing An's words came out, everyone immediately questioned them.

"How did you do it? We all rely on this mission to earn more, didn't the immortals just say that they are all good hands, how can there be people who are not familiar with medicinal materials?"

"Yes, we all rely on this mission to make a fortune, let this kind of person come, is it up to us to make benefits?"

"No wonder, only eleven or twelve years old, he dared to say that it was a guide sent by the sect, who followed him, let alone guidance, I'm afraid it's better to stay at home and save trouble. ”

・・・・・・。

Even the more than ten people assigned to Su Qing's side also looked at Su Qing together, and the meaning in their eyes was very clear: It's very difficult for us to fight for a task, but don't let everyone come for nothing because of you.

After all, Su Qing's current identity is many times higher than these nominal lay disciples, so the people in Su Qing's team, because of Jing An's words, although many people feel that Su Qing is unreliable, they don't dare to say anything in person.

It's just that a few people have begun to look around, wishing that someone else would take them in, even if the income is less, don't make yourself lose any money because you follow this person.

This bastard is going to die, Su Qing looked at Jing An and cursed in his heart. I can't wait to run up and slap Jing An on the mouth a few times.

This bastard thing, assigned by Elder Dong, to monitor himself, after all, Elder Dong is powerful, no one dares to shirk it, considering this, he has to worry about it, I can't imagine that this kid kicked his nose in the face, and his surveillance of himself was so fearless and blatant, and he also gave himself eye medicine in front of so many people and several cultivators, Su Qing suddenly hated Jing An extremely much.

Su Qing now began to wonder if Jing An was sleeping by himself, and this kid was also staying outside his cave to guard.

"Jing An, you said that I have only been in the sect for two or three months, this is true, but you said that I am not very familiar with medicinal materials, this is a bit too much, right? How do you know that I am not familiar with medicinal materials?" Su Qing didn't want to let himself leave a bad impression in the hearts of several cultivators because of Jing An's words, so he said to Jing An unceremoniously.

"Su Qing, I'm also doing this for your good, why are you snorting so angrily at me?" Jing Cheng looked aggrieved, and spread his hands towards everyone as he spoke, which immediately attracted the sympathy of many people.

"This little brother is too much, right? This senior brother Jing'an is also for his good, but he is a rake, he really doesn't know the hearts of good people."

"He is not very old, he speaks very impulsively, and he doesn't think about others, but the few people who follow him are unlucky"

・・・・・・。

Listening to everyone's discussions, even several monks frowned at Su Qing.

"A few deacons, I am a little younger, but Jing An said that I am not familiar with medicinal materials, and I will never agree. A few deacons can't trust me, they won't trust Jiao Guan, will Jiao Guan allow me to abuse my numbers?" Su Qing couldn't imagine that Jing An, this kid, was so vicious, and he brought so much hatred to himself with one sentence, so he was suddenly in a hurry and hurriedly distinguished.

Su Qing didn't care what those lay disciples had of him, but it would be very bad for a few cultivators to have a bad impression of him.

After listening to Su Qing's words, the monk surnamed Lu felt that there was some truth and asked, "Are you sure that you are capable of this task?"

"I promise that I am fully capable of this task, since Jing An said that I am not familiar with medicinal materials, I want to make a bet with Jing An, please ask a few deacons to allow me."

"How do you bet?"

"Let's bet on which of our two groups of medicinal materials collected this time will have more types, quantities, and better quality, and the bet is that whoever loses between me and Jing'an in the end will hand over all the income from this mission to the other party."

Su Qing has put a lot of effort into medicinal materials these days, and the medicinal material atlas is almost ripe, and he believes that his level of medicinal materials is definitely better than Jing'an. This kid values silver more than his life, and since he wants to go against himself, then the master will let you have a good pain in the flesh.

"Hehe! This is interesting, I agree with this method" The monk surnamed Lu smiled and turned his head to ask Jing An, "Do you dare to bet with him?"

"This ・・・・・・" Jing An didn't expect Su Qing to come to this hand, besides, collecting medicinal materials is not just based on familiarity with medicinal materials, you will definitely be able to collect good medicinal materials, but also include the ingredients of luck. Moreover, Jing An said that Su Qing was not familiar with medicinal materials, and he really didn't want to lose the opportunity to spy on Su Qing.

If you lose, it will be a lot of money, and maybe you will be able to earn it for a few years. Thinking that he also had the possibility of losing, Jing An's heart twitched. But just now I said that Su Qing is not familiar with medicinal materials, and if he doesn't dare to bet now, it would be too much to say.

"What's the matter? You just said that Su Qing was not familiar with medicinal herbs, but now you don't even dare to take this bet, what do you mean by saying that about Su Qing just now?" Seeing Jing An's hesitant appearance, the monk surnamed Lu suddenly changed his face.

"I, I'll take it" Seeing the monk surnamed Lu change his face, Jing An was frightened and hurriedly agreed. This is not a character that can be provoked casually, if you are unhappy, you may slap yourself to death.

"Then it's decided," the monk surnamed Lu waved his hand, slapped the board, and then came to Su Qing, stretched out his hand and patted Su Qing on the shoulder: "Boy, you are not very old, and your courage is not small, it depends on you."

Su Qing bent down and saluted the monk surnamed Lu, and said, "Thank you, Deacon Lu, the small one will not disappoint you", and then, turning his head and saying to the more than ten people assigned to his name: "I don't care if everyone believes in it or not, I just want to tell you that I will definitely not disappoint everyone, let's go." ”

Jing An watched Su Qing lead people away, stared at Su Qing's back for a long time, and suddenly remembered his gambling contract with Su Qing, and suddenly couldn't care about Su Qing's surveillance anymore, and hurriedly went down the mountain with his own people.

In order to cover the entire valley as much as possible, several monks assigned different areas to each component.

Su Qing led his people into the valley, but he didn't start digging medicinal herbs immediately, but led the people aimlessly into the distance.

After walking more than ten miles, the dozen or so people who followed Su Qing were a little unhappy.

"Senior Brother Su, what are you going to do with us? There are so many medicinal materials along the way, you are not allowed to pick, you can enter the sect at a young age, your family background must be no different, there is no shortage of this bit of silver, we can rely on this mission to earn a few taels of silver to support the family, we can't afford to accompany you" A middle-aged man in his forties took a few steps forward and walked up to Su Qing and complained.

"Yes, we are all family leaders, and we don't have a fixed salary, and it took a lot of money to fight for this mission, but I don't have this kind of mind to accompany you to the mountains and rivers," an old man next to him also said.

"Senior brothers, although I am young, I am not the kind of irresponsible person, the time we collect medicine here is not a day or two, the area allocated to us is so large, we don't seriously familiarize ourselves with the environment, if we see the medicinal herbs, maybe one day people from other sects will come. We have not forgotten that several deacons asked us to select those precious medicinal herbs for collection. The so-called sharpening knife does not mistake woodcutter, only when we are familiar with this place first, will we do our best to collect those best medicinal materials. ”

"Then we have come so far, haven't we encountered some good medicinal herbs?" The middle-aged man was still a little uneasy.

"It's not that I haven't encountered it, but it's not too many. And I took a look at the environment we walked through, and it was not suitable for the growth of those precious medicinal herbs. The best medicinal herbs here are a few iron crown flowers, cow's grass, hundred refining flowers, and absolute seedlings. Although these medicinal materials are scarce, they are not very precious. Let's look at the mountain in front of you, there is snow all year round, there should be several good medicinal herbs under the mountain, let's work harder, hurry up and go over and have a look."
