"That's natural, but it's not something that belongs to Master Zuo alone, it's something that was established in association with others. Those polders are both their retreat and their foundation.

Otherwise, if a martial artist like Zuo Shi has no way out and no foundation, in this troubled world, how can they be able to stand alone in the narrow gap of all forces? It is long ago that they will be forced to take sides, join a certain force, and get involved in the struggle between them. Zheng Xinghan replied.

"If the world is really going to be in chaos, there is no way to stand alone with the retreat and foundation of the polder." When Qin Ziling heard this, he didn't ask where Zuo Shi's polder was placed.

Since Zheng Xinghan didn't say it, it was naturally not time for him to know.

"What's not to be left alone? As long as Zuo Shi withdraws to the polder, does not open a museum in the city to teach apprentices, and does business, no matter how chaotic it is outside, what can he do? Mu Xuan retorted.

In addition to opening a martial arts hall in Fangli City, Zuo Le also has some shop properties.

Qin Ziling smiled when he heard this, but did not refute.

If you really want a large army to overwhelm the border, even if the tall city can be conquered, what is the value of a mere polder? Now the five great families in the inner city are still fighting with each other, and if one day, only one of Fang Qi City is really in power, I am afraid that the polder outside the city will become a force of its own and be free from their control.

Gaitong County is about two hundred miles away from Fanghua City.

Originally, the three of them were people who practiced martial arts, and it was enough to walk for two days for two miles, but because they had to avoid some bandit forces, they had to take small roads and cross mountains and mountains, and the two-day road took four days to arrive at a mountain range full of dangerous peaks and mist twenty miles outside Gaitong County.

For four days, the three of them traveled during the day, and camped in the wilderness or in the wilderness at night, looking for a deserted village and temple.

At night, the three of them took turns keeping vigil, even if Mu Xuan was a woman.

During this period, although the three of them had tried to avoid the territory of some bandits, they still encountered some bandits blocking the road and robbing them.

However, these bandits and bandits are all a rabble, and the number is not large, and the three of them rushed to kill them casually, and beat them to the ground, and they also ate black and black, and earned dozens of taels of silver for nothing.

In fact, those clouds and mist are mixed with a lot of miasma, and people who smoke too much will be poisoned, the most dangerous thing is that there are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects living in this mountain, so the locals call it a ghost, and almost no one wants to set foot in this mountain.

Zuo Shi also inadvertently entered this mountain once and found a cliff with cold snow lotus grass growing, so he secretly remembered that every year when the cold snow lotus grass was picked, Mu Xuan and I were sent to pick it. There are very few people who know about this place at present, and Master Zuo trusts you very much, so he will send you to participate. Standing at the foot of the mountain, Zheng Xinghan pointed to the dangerous peak in front of him, which was straight into the sky and shrouded in mist.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I won't live up to Master Zuo's trust." Qin Ziling said calmly.

Zheng Xinghan nodded, then took out some medicinal powder and pills, distributed them to the two and said: "The pill is in the mouth to prevent miasma poisoning, and the medicinal powder is scattered on the body, especially on the feet, which can have the effect of driving away poisonous insects and poisonous snakes." ”

"Thank you, brother." Qin Ziling took the pill and put it in his mouth, and carefully scattered the medicine powder on his body.

In fact, in the past six months, Qin Ziling has basically lived in the mountains, and if he really talks about outdoor experience, he is much richer than Zheng Xinghan, and he also carries some medicinal powder pills to prevent poisonous insects and poisonous gases, and they are all self-made by him.

In another world, the limited mobility of the next few years gave him an opportunity to calm down and read a lot of books and enrich his knowledge, so he involved a lot of knowledge. Coupled with this world, he fused some of the remnant soul consciousness of the old demon of Li Mo.

As soon as the two were combined, Qin Ziling pondered a lot of powder pills, some of which were used to prevent insects and snakes in the wild in the mountains, and some were poisons that mixed various poisons, including corpse poison, which he hid in the corpse ring in case of emergency.

Everything was ready, and the three of them entered the mountain.

Entering the mountains, Qin Ziling still behaved decently on the surface, but secretly raised his vigilance.

Half a day later, the three of them came to a cliff without danger.

The cliffs are steep and don't have much inclination, and there is water seeping out everywhere on it, and there is moss where the water flows, which is very slippery at first glance, and it is definitely very dangerous to climb.

In the cracks of some of the stones, there were green stems and leaves growing in the wind, and there were three white petals, among which there was a fruit the size of a coin, which looked like a lotus house.

"Those with white flowers are the cold snow lotus grass! Ziling, you and Mu Xuan are guarding below, and I will climb up to pick now. Zheng Xinghan pointed to the white flowers that grew more than 100 meters tall and said.

"Senior brother, let's do it with me, I'm good at this." Qin Ziling said.

Zheng Xinghan and Mu Xuan didn't know, but Qin Ziling knew that his strength was much better than the two of them, and he had recently cultivated the Dragon Swimming Body Method, and the danger of climbing the cliff was definitely much lower than Zheng Xinghan.

After that, Qin Ziling didn't wait for Zheng Xinghan to answer, he had already taken out a very sharp mountaineering pickaxe from the basket behind him, ran with a boost, and rushed onto the cliff.

When it reached a certain height, the cliff became very steep, and there was not much place to step on it, so Qin Ziling climbed up very skillfully and easily with the help of a mountaineering pickaxe.

At first, Zheng Xinghan was a little worried when he saw Qin Ziling suddenly rush forward, but when he saw that he was easy and skillful, he was relieved.

"This Qin Ziling!" Zheng Xinghan shook his head and said.

"Senior brother, when I set off, I said that he was a wretch, not like a man, is it too much?" Mu Xuan looked up at Qin Ziling's figure becoming smaller and smaller, which made people panic when they looked at it, and couldn't help but blame themselves a little.

"What do you say? Would a guts man rush to do such a dangerous thing with me? Zheng Xinghan asked rhetorically.

"No!" Mu Xuan shook her head and replied.

Then the two of them fell silent, and they both looked up at Qin Ziling, whose figure became smaller and smaller, with nervous expressions.

After Qin Ziling filled a basket of cold snow lotus grass, he went down the cliff.

Zheng Xinghan was worried about Qin Ziling's physical strength, and the second medicine basket wouldn't let him climb and pick anyway.

Qin Ziling couldn't resist Zheng Xinghan, and it was not easy to expose his true strength, so he had to go with him.

Fortunately, a large part of the wings of the four songs have been repaired now, and if there is really any accident, it will be too late for him to release the four prime ministers to save them.

The two of them had a medicine basket, filled with two medicine baskets, and the cold snow lotus grass that was relatively easy to pick on the cliff was picked seventy-seven eighty-eight, and it was too dangerous to go up.

"That's enough for a year! The top ones are kept for seeding, and when the seeds are ripe, they will fall to lower ground, and then we can pick them again the next year.

This cold snow lotus grass is also strange to say, it will only grow in the crevices of mountain cliffs, and it can only grow here, but not elsewhere. We have transplanted before, but it doesn't grow well, and even if it barely grows, it doesn't have this effect. Climbing down from the cliff, Zheng Xinghan said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"This is normal, the growth of any plant is related to many factors such as sunlight, temperature, moisture, soil, etc. Since this cold snow lotus grass is so precious and rare, it must have high requirements in this regard, and if we can't meet it, it will naturally be difficult to cultivate successfully. Qin Ziling blurted out.
