Chapter 286: Death Forbidden Land, Mysterious Herbs!
In winter, the mountains are full of withered and withered scenery, and the trees that have lost their leaves are like an old man who is about to die.
The cold wind hit the face like a knife.
Da Changjin wrapped the down jacket on her body, in winter, unless she was forced to, she would not go up the mountain to collect medicine, because she would freeze to death, but today, her body is so warm.
This dress is so nice to wear!
I'm afraid there are no girls in the middle temple, right?
Da Changjin raised his head and looked at Lin Baici's back.
He is so powerful, he should also be a big man in the Celestial Empire, right?
"Lord Lin, it's almost here, two quarters of an hour further on, and that's where we hunt and collect medicine!"
Lee Tae-hyun unzipped the down jacket, this thing was so hot that he was sweating profusely, he was reluctant to wear it, and wanted to keep it and wear it when he got married.
"Half an hour?"
Gu Qingqiu stopped, bent over, held her knees with both hands, and gasped for breath, her physique was not good, plus it was too torturous to travel in the difficult mountain roads.
"I told you to stay at the bottom of the mountain, but you didn't listen!"
Lin Baici persuaded her, but it was useless, a girl like Gu Qingqiu had independent self-ideas, or was stubborn, and would not listen to other people's suggestions at all.
Gu Qingqiu wanted to save face, and after hearing Lin Baici's words, he tried his best to control his breathing, and then continued to walk forward.
She must not be underestimated, but she began to blame herself in her heart.
Gu Qingqiu, you are too self-righteous, you are worried that they will enter the mountain and miss important clues, in fact, it is not necessary, Lin Baici's brain is very useful.
"I should trust him!"
Gu Qingqiu reflected, since she was a child, she only reassured her father that Lin Bai was qualified to be the second now.
After more than half an hour, everyone arrived at a hillside where a wooden house was built out of wood, and it had been more than ten years since they looked at the appearance.
"This is a place where hunters, ginseng pickers, and medicine pickers rest after entering the mountain, and firewood can be used, but how much you use must be replenished!"
Lee Tae-hyun introduced the unwritten rules and pushed open the door of the wooden house.
It was very simple, with some firewood piled up on the west side, and a lot of logs on the east side, more than a foot high above the ground, so that it could be moisture-proof, and it could be used as a floor and as a bed.
On the log bed, a sunken fire pit was dug out, and a dirty clay pot was hung from a rope.
After eating, this fire pit can be covered with a wooden plank, so that when you sleep on it, the residual temperature of the fire pit will make the night very comfortable.
Lin Baici glanced at it, judging by the thickness of the dust, no one had lived here for several months.
"Look at it like this, Divine Doctor Li shouldn't have entered the mountain!"
Gu Qingqiu sighed.
Doctor Li is over 50 years old this year, and in ancient times when the life expectancy was generally not high, this belonged to a high life expectancy, and if he entered the mountain alone for many days, there was little hope of survival.
Gu Qingqiu felt that Divine Doctor Li should not do such a stupid thing.
"Two people in a team, go find Doctor Li, and meet here at night!"
Lin Baici arranged the task, and his fierce gaze swept over these people: "Don't be lazy, if I find out, I will definitely let him live more uncomfortable than dead!" ”
"Don't worry, Lord Lin, we will definitely find Doctor Li!"
The bearded party hastened to reassure.
"Lee Tae-hyun, lead the way, go to the forbidden land!"
Lin Baici urged, the time was too tight, and he didn't know how Hua Yueyu's condition was, so if he could go back a day earlier, he would have less to worry about.
"Are you really going?"
Lee Tae-hyun swallowed his saliva: "There are divine beasts there, trespassers will be killed!" ”
"Then kill the divine beast and drink!"
Last night, Lin Baici chatted, talked with Lee Tae-hyun and Da Changjin for most of the night, and knew that there was a forbidden land in the mountains.
Lin Baici entered the mountain today, in addition to looking for Doctor Li, he also planned to go into the forbidden place to have a look, what if there were clues about the pollution of the purification rules?
"Lin Tuan, instead of letting those officers and soldiers look blindly like headless flies, why don't you follow us?"
Kwon Sang-in came to his side and quietly suggested that he felt that in a critical moment, he could use these people as bait to distract the monsters, even if it was only for a few minutes, it was enough.
"Whatever, do whatever you want!"
Lin Baici doesn't matter.
Kwon Sang-in immediately shouted to the bearded man and asked him to lead his troops to follow.
The team set off again, and an hour later, came to a mountain col.
"Anything further on, it's forbidden land."
Lee Tae-hyun pointed to a large rock in the distance, on which were written in the blood of some kind of animal, and the words 'death to trespassers' were written.
Next to the big rock, there was also a circle of wooden stakes, and on each stake was a human head that had rotted so much that only bones remained.
Lin Baici glanced at it, didn't care at all, and walked in first: "It spreads out in a fan shape, that is, everyone is twenty zhang apart, and if you find anything, you will shout!" ”
Kwon Sang-in didn't care about this kind of warning, but as an indigenous bearded party, he was very nervous, and just wanted to find a reason to stay, Lin Baici's cold gaze had already stared at him.
“……”
The bearded spirit shuddered, didn't dare to talk nonsense, and obediently followed, but he played a careful eye, just near Lin Baici, so that in case of danger, he could get close to him in time and get shelter.
Everyone continued to move forward, the temperature was very low, and the exhaled breath condensed into a white mist.
Lin Baici touched his stomach.
There is no hunger, and it can only be found by luck.
"To the northwest, there are herbs."
The God of Food suddenly commented.
"Herbs? Can it cure the plague? ”
Lin Baici glanced up, looked at the compass, and immediately quickened his pace, and more than twenty minutes later, he saw a steep cliff, as if it had been cracked vertically by a giant axe.
There is a mountain stream with spring water flowing, making a gurgling sound.
"Let's take a look!"
Lin Baici was vigilant.
Lee Tae-hyun is worthy of being the elite of the Tiger Hunting Army, in this kind of area, his perception is very strong, he is very experienced, and he immediately perceives the crisis.
"Someone could be!"
As soon as Li Tae-hyun finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly shot out of the forest and went straight to Lin Baici's front door.
It was a wolf's tooth arrow missing.
"Be careful!"
Lee Tae-hyun was in a hurry, it was too late to rescue, and then in the next moment, he saw that Lord Lin didn't even dodge, he directly reached out and grabbed the arrow that was shot at it.
"My lord, beware of poison!"
Lee Tae-hyun hurriedly reminded.
"It's fine!"
Lin Baici observed that the arrow in his hand was missing, he was wearing the glove of the power of the giant elephant, otherwise he would not be so reckless to catch the arrow: "Do you know?" ”
"It's the arrows made by the mountain people themselves!"
Da Changjin knows this kind of arrow, she has been caught by the mountain people before, because she is a medical woman, she understands medical skills, and she has seen the mountain people, so she was let go, otherwise she would have died early.
"This is our hunting ground, you leave immediately, or you will be killed!"
After a male voice finished speaking, more echoes echoed in the mountains and forests, and then screams and cries for help.
Some officers and soldiers were arrested.
"What should I do?"
The beard was a little nervous.
"Come out and surrender, or die!"
Lin Baici held his sword, murderous.
"Let's go together!"
Kwon Sang-in urged, everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't have the time to play a death survival game with these mountain people.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
More than a dozen arrows were shot at Lin Baici immediately, and the mountain people were not stupid, they saw that Lin Baici was the boss, so they naturally killed him first.
When the dragons are leaderless, the enemy is bound to be defeated.
Dangdang!
Lin Baici swung his sword and easily cut off those arrows, and then activated the Sanskrit sound Buddha sound and a breath of flavor, enhancing his hearing and sense of smell.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Baici locked on the position of the caller.
"Don't do it, it's me, there is a big epidemic outside, we came in to find Doctor Li and find herbs to save people!"
Da Changjin ran a few steps forward and shouted.
When the mountain people saw Da Changjin, who had treated them, they were ready to show mercy to their men and tell them to get out of here, but the young boss moved.
He ran wildly, rushing through the mountains and forests, like a Menghu cheetah, full of terrifying momentum, and what was even more terrifying was that the direction he ran in was where the patriarch was.
Without any hesitation, another wave of arrows missed.
With Lin Baici's reaction, he could have used the bronze sword to cut down these arrows, but he didn't want to take the risk, so he summoned the Muscle Buddha.
Rumble!
Wearing shorts and shirtless muscular Buddha appeared in front of Lin Baici, running wildly, waving his fists and sending those feather arrows away, even if there was a fish that slipped through the net and shot at it, it was also bounced away.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The bearded man was shocked,
Lee Tae-hyun was afraid, it turned out that this man still had hole cards, fortunately he surrendered yesterday, otherwise he would definitely be abandoned in the wilderness and become a wild dog's lunch.
Lin Baici saw that in the dense forest, a figure jumped down from the tree, and wanted to change his position, so he immediately threw out a bronze sword.
"Walk you!"
Swish!
With a bronze glow, the Dragon's Tooth King Sword whistled past, cut off one of the person's ears, and then pierced through the trunk of the big tree in front of it, drew a circle in a fluttering of sawdust, and flew back.
Syllable!
Lin Baici caught the bronze sword.
"Don't force me to kill, surrender on your knees!"
Lin Baici shouted.
The Muscle Buddha punched at a nearby tree.
Katsa!
The big tree that was hugged by one person broke directly, and the Muscle Buddha grabbed it, used it as a javelin, and threw it at a big tree more than forty meters away.
Bang!
With a loud crash, two mountain people dressed in animal skins fell from the trees and fell into a rut.
"Don't kill!"
Lin Baici stopped Kwon Sang-in and the bearded man who wanted to go on a killing spree.
"Why?"
Kwon Sang-in didn't understand.
"I need some soldiers!"
After Lin Baici finished speaking, he looked at Da Changjin: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you know them, and you can survive from the barbarian mountain people, which shows that they respect you, help me persuade you to surrender!" ”
"I can give them good food and wine, gold and silver and jewelry, if only they will work for me for ten days!"
In ten days, Lin Baici felt that it was enough to deal with this rule pollution.
Gu Qingqiu originally wanted to persuade Lin Bai to leave people under the knife and catch some slave soldiers, but he found that he had the same idea as he thought, so he could only shut up.
Ay!
The head of the regiment is too powerful, and my value cannot be shown!
"I ...... I......! ”
Da Chang hesitated today, she was afraid that she would not be able to do well.
"I'm sure you can do it!"
Lin Baici smiled, encouraged Da Changjin, and took out some food and a down jacket from the black altar bowl.
Da Changjin took a deep breath and shouted to the mountain people: "Lord Lin is a good person, listen to him, there will be endless delicious food!" ”
The mountain people were very righteous and did not leave, not because they had food, but because the bearded man led his troops to capture two prisoners.
The mountain man who was missing an ear walked over, with a fierce look on his face, and without waiting for him to speak, Lin Baici opened a box of luncheon meat and threw it over.
The aroma of luncheon meat made the one-eared mountain people stuck.
"Give me ten days of work, and when I'm done, I'll give you food and clothes for three years!"
Lin Baici threw the down jacket over.
These mountain people wore shabby animal skins, and the poor could be seen at a glance.
One ear doesn't know the down jacket, but the body feels like it won't be fake, and when I touch it, I know that it's a good thing, so I quickly put it on my body, and then the cold wind is blocked.
"I want this kind of clothes, ten twenty!"
One ear doesn't count, and can only count up to twenty at most.
Lin Baici nodded.
One ear looked at the luncheon meat, took a bite, and immediately the lion opened his mouth: "I also need weapons, knives and bows and arrows." ”
"When you get down the mountain, I'll prepare it for you right away!"
Lin Baici is not afraid that these people will regret it, and it is a big deal to kill them when the time comes.
"Can you let my people go?"
One ear looked at the two clansmen, and then at the muscle Buddha.
"Let them go!"
Lin Baici instructed the beard, took out the bandage and hemostatic medicine and handed them to Da Changjin: "Go and bandage him!" ”
"Is there anything else to eat?"
One ear didn't think about running, there was no way, this winter was too cold, there was a lack of food and clothing in the mountains, and many people had starved to death.
Someone in the clan has already proposed to go down the mountain to rob, but that is a capital crime, and now, working for this noble man can earn some food, and there is no loss.
Looking at the clean, nutritious and healthy Lin Baici and the woman beside him with one ear, he knew that this was a nobleman, coupled with a beard from the official mansion who obeyed Lin Baici's words, like a family dog, he even suspected that this man was a royal family.
Lin Baici took out several boxes, which contained bread, luncheon meat, and mineral water.
"Calling this a forbidden place can't be made up by you to keep outsiders from entering your hunting grounds, right?"
Lin Baici asked.
"There is really a forbidden land, just under the cliff over there, Doctor Li told us, don't go over, we'll die!"
In this era, what Dr. Lee, who had a reputation for being a skillful hand and benevolent in Goryeo, said, that was the golden and jade words.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
The bearded man urged, if only he could find Divine Doctor Li in the forbidden land.
……
Under the cliff, a little recessed into it formed a long and narrow crypt, and there was a hot spring, bubbling with hot water, forming a small pool of springs.
On the rock walls of the crypt, there were small purple flowers, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
"Something is wrong with this flower!"
Gu Qingqiu was worried: "Don't get close!" ”
"What did you find?"
Kim Yeong-jin stopped.
"There are no weeds here, just these little flowers!"
Lin Baici explained that it stands to reason that even if these flowers are the main plants here, there will be some weeds nearby.
"What kind of plant is this?"
Kwon Sang-in pushed Da Changjin and asked her to speak quickly.
