Chapter 159: Mysterious Medicine Garden
The three of them walked in unison, and in such a dark and absolutely quiet environment, the slightest sound was fatal. You never know where there will be cold arrows waiting for you, and the people here are estimated to die for the sake of immortal seeds, let alone faces.
The three of them walked slowly for a long time, and suddenly the monk stopped without a head, Zhou Li and Mo Wen behind felt strange, and the monk turned around and whispered: "There is no way." Take out the fire fold and take a look. β
This is simply no way, I can't find the way in the dark, if I touch it casually, if I touch something, it will be troublesome, but once I use the fire fold, I am afraid that it will immediately become the target of the public. Zhou Li and Mo Wen hesitated, and finally couldn't take out the fire fold. After igniting it, I found that the three of them had really come to a dead end. They looked around cautiously and saw that it was a cave with a wide view, and there was no one around at all. They knocked the bottom of the cave, it didn't look like there was a mechanism, this is strange, this Vermilion Bird Stone Statue is actually such a dead hole?
"Uncle, look!" At this time, Zhou Li shouted as if he saw something, and the remaining two looked at Zhou Li's gaze, and there seemed to be a small waterhole in the black place on the left. One zhang wide, bottomless.
"The water vapor here should come out of this pool, strange, this is the bottom of this hole? Where are the beasts and immortals? What about the others? The monk muttered to himself headlessly
The three of them carefully searched for the bottom of the cave for a long time, but still found nothing. Mo Wen touched his chin, then leaned towards the waterhole, reached out and touched the water in the waterhole and put it in his mouth to taste it: "It's living water, so it's not dead down here." Is the exit in this pool? β
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhou Li said: "The southern Vermilion Bird belongs to fire, and there is actually a waterhole in this cave, but it is really unlucky." And I don't know what's wrong, I'm very uneasy, this waterhole makes me feel very bad. β
"If it's not good, we have to go and see, or what are we going to do, there is no one outside, everyone must have gone down, don't hesitate, go!" When the monk heard that this waterhole seemed to be the entrance, he didn't think much about it at all, and turned over and jumped into the waterhole after finishing speaking.
Zhou Li and Mo Wen had no choice, so they had to fall in. The bottom of this waterhole is extremely deep, and it is getting narrower and narrower, and there is really a turning point after going down five zhang, and after the turning point, there is a glimmer of light on the slope, and sure enough, there is a small exit open on the side.
The three of them carefully and slowly dived up, and after coming out of the water, they looked around carefully, and there was no one around, but the three of them seemed to have come out of the Xuanyuan Cave.
The three of them cautiously walked out of the pool, then carefully looked at their surroundings and made sure that no one was around before they glanced at each other. Now they have actually come out of Xuanyuan Cave, which is an open mountain forest, surrounded by all kinds of strange-shaped plants. The sun was high, and it was very warm on the bodies of the three people.
The monk headless said, "What's going on? We're out? This pool of water under the Suzaku Cave is also another outlet? Where is this? Didn't you say that the Vermilion Bird Cave Gorge has Qiqi and Jade Tooth Red Medicine? β
"Could it be a fantasy?" Zhou Li closed his eyes and thought about it and said
"No, the sun here is absolutely pure yang fire. It should be true, but it's strange what the hell is here. Mo Wen shook his head and denied Zhou Li
"Whether it's an illusion or not, let's go find the Jade Tooth Red Medicine first, don't come in vain." The monk patted his head headless and said with a grin
"Uncle Shi, you'd better not be too optimistic, this may be a dangerous place." Mo Wen grabbed the monk who was about to take a step and said
"Dangerous ground? What do you mean by that? β
"Senior Brother Zhou, do you remember the map route on the stone tablet?"
"I just vaguely remember that I wanted to expand it at that time, but I didn't have any tools at hand, so I had to memorize it." Zhou Li shook his head lightly and said
"Okay, then do you remember what kind of roadblocks are on the route below Suzaku?" Mo asked again
"Barricades? Let me think about it, the barricades under these four stone statues seem to be different, as if they are distributed according to the position of the twenty-eight constellations. It should be ...... on Nan Suzaku's side," Zhou Li thought with his eyes closed
"The Seven Houses in the South should be Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen, and if I guessed correctly, these seven kinds of barricades are placed according to the stargazing map. I'm afraid that after all the passes, we can find the poor Qi and Jade Tooth Red Medicine under the Southern Vermilion Bird, and I think this should be the only right way! β
"Well, ghost, willow, star, zhang, wing, zhen? What kind of trap can this be? The monk asked, shaking his head
"I don't know, there should be a special reference, this place is so exquisitely arranged, there are always traces to follow." Mo Wen said uncertainly
Zhou Li moved after listening to Mo Wen's words and said: "Senior brother, your words have reminded me, since there are so many beasts in this Xuanyuan Cave, I think this roadblock is probably also related to rare beasts. β
"It doesn't matter what kind of brute he is, we're here to find their bad luck. Let's go! Monk Wutou said impatiently
"Huh? This bead seems to be ...... Borneo? Mo Wen looked down at a strange-looking plant at his feet, and then called out the name of the plant in a slightly surprised way.
"Brahma? Impossible, right? "Zhou Li has also learned some medical divination and astrology, squatted down and carefully looked at the plants under Mo Wen's feet." Hey, it seems to be a Borneo, this is a windfall! Zhou Li looked at it for a long time, then nodded and said
This Borneo is an excellent medicinal material, in the outside world has been growing in a rare place, and because of the scarcity, the price has been rising recently, some medicine pickers take great risks to run to the deep mountains and old forests to find this medicinal material, there are people who get rich overnight, and there are people who die on the way to find medicine. And it's good luck that there will be one here.
Mo Wen lowered his head and carefully peeled off all the soil around him, and then wanted to take down this herb. But Zhou Li touched him. Mo Wen looked up at Zhou Li, Zhou Li shook his head and then pointed to the side and said, "Senior brother, don't dig it, let's enter the medicine garden, look over there!" β
Zhou Li looked at Mo Wen's fingers, and didn't see anything at first, but when he looked closely, he couldn't help but stare at him, he walked over there quickly, brushed aside the higher weeds, and sure enough, he saw another one, not a full five baht navy blue iron.
Navy-blue iron is not a medicinal material, but a kind of marching dry food produced in the southwest plateau region, which was widely used in the army because of its high density and easy to eat and satisfy. However, the growing conditions and time of this navy iron were extremely harsh, and it was quickly picked up by the army. During the period when there was a navy blue iron, there were many cavalry raids for thousands of miles, and I remember that the imperial court collected this kind of thing in the southwest plateau region. One piece can support more than 100 people for a month. Very portable. This kind of Eastern and Western Imperial Court will almost exchange the official position of the magistrate in exchange for it during the war. It's a pity that there is no such thing in the entire southwest, and there are five of them here.
"This is ......" Monk Wutou also looked around in a little surprise: "Ganyang, Luoxiang, Ligustrumγ...... These are all rare medicinal herbs outside, and there are so many here. There's actually a Mo Hanzhi here? The monk thought he had made a mistake, wiped his eyes, walked over quickly, and lay on the ground to take a closer look.
"Mohan Lingzhi? Isn't this a life-threatening medicine? Here's a strain? Zhou Li and Mo Wen were also taken aback when they heard Seng Wutou's words, and ran to Seng Wutou's side and looked down at the black thing.
"Tap, tap! This thing is very expensive, you have to break it, the old monk is desperate with you! Monk Wutou hurriedly kicked at the two people, Mo Wen and Zhou Li were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped, and then looked lightly at Seng Wutou
"Uncle Shi, is this really Mohan Lingzhi? Didn't you say that this Lingzhi was born on a snow-capped mountain? How can a plant grow in this place? Mo Wen asked with some excitement
"How do I know, anyway, this thing must be Mohan Lingzhi, and the years seem to be not short, the big monk is really here this time, no one can grab this thing from the old monk, I will dig it out and divide it into two of you." The monk didn't know if he was excited or what's wrong, and he was a little incoherent when he spoke.
Zhou Li was a little calm, he had seen the stone stele, although these medicinal materials were valuable, they could definitely not be compared with those four immortal seeds. But he couldn't understand a little, why the five black-clothed people who came first didn't pick these medicinal herbs, these things grew around here at random, and it was easy to distinguish. Who would put gold on the ground and not pick it up? Why is that?
Zhou Li told Mo Wen and Seng Wutou about his thoughts, Seng Wutou couldn't listen to it at all, Mo Wen calmed down after listening to it, he touched his chin and thought about it carefully, why didn't they pick these medicinal materials? Why?
There was no trace of anyone coming in these four places, just now they clearly saw the five protectors of the cult coming to Suzaku's side, why did they lose their traces now, and what about the others? There shouldn't be no trace of a person. It's weird.
The monk Wutou saw that the two of them were thinking about things, and complained a little: "I said that the two of you go to pick other things next to you, and put good things and don't think about things, aren't you lacking heart?" β
Mo Wen looked at his uncle, and then asked casually: "Uncle, if you pass from here, what can make you leave by yourself regardless of these things." β
"No way, unless I didn't come!" The monk said without even hitting him
And Mo Wen and Zhou Li's faces suddenly changed after hearing this!
