Chapter 42: The Mistletoe Flower
Finding that what appeared in front of them was a large waterfall, everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Su Ling walked to the front and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, it's so spectacular, it's the first time I've seen a waterfall." Look, there's a rainbow on it. If there are no brute beasts, it would be nice to have a wooden house to live here. ”
After speaking, she subconsciously glanced at Xiaobai next to her.
Xiao Bai smiled slightly, and said: "The flying stream goes straight down to three thousand feet, it should be this feeling, right? But relatively speaking, the waterfall here is quite small, and it is said that the waterfall spring on the side of the Broken Soul Cliff is the largest scenery in the Barbarian Capital Region." ”
Chen Heng also saw the waterfall for the first time, and although he was also amazed in his heart, it was more important to find Miss Luo's clues.
Glancing up, Chen Heng said: "Those corpses should have rushed down from here, let's go around the mountain road next to us to take a look." ”
Although Su Ling was a little reluctant, she saw that Xiaobai followed without saying a word, and she could only give up the beautiful scenery in front of her.
The mountain road next to the waterfall is even steeper, but fortunately, everyone is not weak, although it is not easy, but it only took half an hour to climb to the top of the waterfall.
Looking down from here, the hanging stream is 300 zhang, and the gush gully is dozens of miles, although it is a bit exaggerated, but its magnificence is not weak at all.
Impacting a surging current from the mountain, like a galloping horse, like a swimming dragon, under the illumination of the sun, moving back and forth like a jasper chain.
Looking at the galloping momentum, Su Ling was slightly in a trance, seeing such a momentum, the previous trace of displeasure was suddenly swept away.
However, Chen Heng obviously had no intention of stopping, the water here was turbulent, and it was almost impossible to find clues, so he could only continue to move forward and walk to a relatively gentle area.
"Huh, a lot of tributaries. ”
Xiao Bai stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, Chen Heng and the others looked over, only to see that there were seven or eight tributaries, rushing together and rushing towards the waterfall.
After carefully searching for a long time, but no trace was found, Chen Heng pointed to one of the tributaries: "The water in this tributary is relatively urgent, let's look for it along here first, and then turn back if it's not right." ”
All the way to the stream, with the mountain, the stream is sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, sometimes slow, sometimes urgent, and the sound of the stream also changes its tone from time to time.
"I've been walking for so long, and I don't have any clues, where did those dead people come from?"
After searching for most of the day and finding no clues, Su Ling was already a little impatient.
Her legs and feet were just right, not very sharp, she had just experienced a battle before, and she hadn't had time to rest, and she had walked so long that she was actually a little overloaded.
It's just that she has a strong temperament, and she hasn't complained.
Xiao Bai also seemed to have discovered this, and turned back to Chen Heng and hesitated: "Otherwise, let's rest for a while and then look for it?" It's been so long, and I don't care about waiting a little longer." ”
Chen Heng looked at Su Ling and found that she was already drenched in sweat, and her face was really not good-looking, but she had been gritting her teeth and holding on.
Just as he was about to nod, Su Fan beside him suddenly said, "Look, are we coming to the end?"
As far as Su Fan's fingers could reach, as far as Chen Heng's eyes could see, at the end of the stream, the cliff was towering, and the mountain road was gone.
At the height of the cliff, strange springs gush and flow down, and the colors are gorgeous.
Here, it is already the earliest source, which means that they are looking for the wrong way.
"Let's take a break here, and then turn back after we have adjusted, and look for another tributary!"
Chen Heng and the others were a little depressed, they were busy for most of the day, and they walked so far, but in the end they found that they had taken the wrong road. Although it wasn't a blow, I was really depressed in my heart.
"Look there!"
Chen Heng was about to find a clean place for everyone to sit down and rest, when Xiaobai suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the cliff in front of him.
Everyone looked up, and less than a zhang to the right side of the spring, there was a pine heart, stretching out its waist and standing branches, like a towering pagoda.
Its trunk is straight, and its branches and foliage are luxuriant, like a cloud of green clouds, so thick that the wind cannot blow in. Between the branches and leaves, there are delicate purple flowers, which at first glance look like a fairy stepping on the clouds.
"What a beautiful flower!" Su Ling's beautiful eyes, who had a tired face, lit up instantly.
Is he going to take it off and give it to me?
Glancing at Xiao Bai, Su Lingqiao's face couldn't help but fly a touch of red.
Chen Heng on the side was a little confused, and looked at Xiaobai puzzled, "This is, pine heart tree?"
The pine heart tree is only born in high mountain cliffs, where spring water comes from, and its vitality is extremely strong, as long as it is not deliberately destroyed, even if it lives for hundreds or thousands of years.
Just because there are not many places suitable for its growth, it is a rare plant in the big world.
Although the pine-hearted tree is rare, Chen Heng has never heard of anything peculiar about it.
"Didn't you notice?" Xiao Bai looked at everyone and said, "That night at the Divine Soldier Villa, when Mrs. Luo received us, every time she couldn't say a few words, or when she was emotional, she would pant violently, as if she was about to breathe. ”
"It's because she has a heart lung disease!"
When everyone heard Xiaobai mention Mrs. Luo, they recalled the situation that night, and it was true.
Chen Heng wondered: "Could it be that Mrs. Luo's illness is related to this pine-hearted tree?"
By this time, they were approaching the edge of the cliff.
Xiaobai pointed to the pine-hearted tree and said, "If you look closely, can you see that there is a different one in the flower?"
Everyone looked up, and among the dense foliage, the purple petals looked so conspicuous, and they gently swayed the pale yellow buds, dancing with the wind.
Chen Heng's eyes suddenly froze, among the dozens of flowers, one of the buds was not pale yellow, but dark yellow. Moreover, in the center of the flower bud, there is even a little red.
If it weren't for his excellent eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to notice this subtle difference from a distance of more than ten zhang.
Through the change in Chen Heng's expression, Xiao Bai already knew that he had discovered what he said, so he smiled slightly and said, "Mistletoe Spirit Flower, a special spirit grass, can only grow and bloom on the pine heart tree. Seven days and nights after the flowers bloom, they will wither. ”
Chen Heng turned his head and said, "Is that flower the mistletoe spirit flower?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "Yes, the mistletoe spirit flower has a great effect on heart and lung diseases, as long as we bring it back to the villa, we can cure Mrs. Luo's disease." ”
Su Ling listened to Xiaobai's words, and then realized that he didn't want to pick flowers and give them to himself, and he was slightly disappointed.
However, she had also heard of the mistletoe spirit flower, and knew that what Xiaobai said was true, but her eyesight was not as good as Chen Heng's, no matter how she looked, she never saw the legendary mistletoe spirit flower.
Chen Heng suddenly remembered that one of the books he bought mentioned a legend, which was the introduction of this mistletoe spirit flower.
"Jade Chapter, Wood Department": "Oak, pine tree." ”
The mistletoe flower, born on the pine heart tree, is the most soothing for heart and lung diseases.
According to legend, someone once found the seven-leaf mistletoe spirit flower on Mangcang Mountain, which can bring the dead back to life.
The seven-leaf mistletoe spirit flower has the power of resurrecting the dead, but the ordinary mistletoe spirit flower only has two leaves, and three, four, five or six are rare, let alone seven leaves.
Chen Heng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Do you want to pick off the mistletoe and bring it back to Mrs. Luo?"
Xiaobai nodded firmly and said, "We just can't find Miss Luo, go back with this medicine, and it's good to treat Mrs. Luo." ”
Seeing Xiaobai so insistent, everyone naturally had no objections, not to mention that the mistletoe flower itself is a rare miracle medicine, since it has been encountered, how can it not be picked?
At this time, it was almost dusk and the cliff was steep, Chen Heng was worried that Xiaobai would be in danger, so he wanted to go up the mountain for him, but was stopped by Xiaobai.
"I made this proposal first, so I should have been asked to do it. Moreover, I am more familiar with herbs than you are. ”
A simple sentence made Chen Heng speechless, and he could only watch with concern as Xiaobai climbed in the direction of the pine heart tree.
Speaking of which, Xiaobai's strength is also very good among the younger generation, but his main ability is not reflected in attack, so he is not very conspicuous in battle.
However, in this team, if you want to be more sensitive, no one can compare to him, even Chen Heng, who has nine changes in fluttering, is no exception.
I saw that Xiaobai was like a spirit monkey, flying out of a long distance in three times and two times, and his agile figure made Chen Heng and the others below impressed.
Soon, Xiaobai climbed to the pine-hearted tree, grabbed the trunk with one hand, and jumped onto the branch.
The pine-hearted tree shook, shaking down a lot of gravel, Chen Heng and the others suddenly changed their faces, and when they took a closer look, they saw that he was already sitting firmly on the branch, already holding a purple flower in his hand, and was waving his arms happily to them.
"It's the mistletoe flower of the three leaves!"
Xiao Bai's excited voice came from above, but did he ever think that the people below had already pinched a cold sweat for him?
"Come down, be careful!"
Su Ling looked at Xiao Bai nervously, a pair of small hands had been squeezed tightly, as if she was the one facing the danger of the cliff.
At this time, the sun was sinking in the west, and the light soon dimmed.
Chen Heng also said a little nervously: "Xiaobai, be careful!"
"Don't worry, it's easier to go down than to come up, I'll go down. ”
Xiaobai's confident tone made everyone relax slightly, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Shout!
A sharp sound pierced the peace in the mountains and forests, and everyone subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.
A small arrow spun at high speed, as if it had been shot out of a bow, with a powerful air current, pointing directly at Xiaobai on the pine-hearted tree.
"Be careful!!"
Seeing the situation clearly, Chen Heng and the others couldn't help but change their faces greatly, and at the same time they screamed, but it was too late.
The small arrow came very fast, and the sky was already dark, and when everyone found out, the small arrow had already shot in front of Xiao Bai.
"Ahh
With a scream of pain, Xiaobai couldn't dodge at all, and the whole person fell from the pine tree.
