Volume 1 The Family Chapter 34

On the forest path, the two of them were walking slowly. The middle-aged man in front of him led the way with two horses, and a young man behind him followed with difficulty with his luggage.

"Ah——! I can't stand it! Teacher, when do we rest? Mu Jingxi, who was following behind the end of the Ming Dynasty, was carrying a bunch of miscellaneous things on his back, complaining from time to time.

However, the end of the Ming Dynasty didn't pay attention to Mu Jingxi, and just walked forward on his own. Seeing this, Mu Jingxi had to complain while keeping up with the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Finally walked out of the forest, the two came to a relatively open hillside, and the end of the Ming Dynasty signaled Mu Jingxi to rest. Seeing this, Mu Jingxi threw away the luggage on his body, lay down on the ground, and closed his eyes in a huff.

Seeing Mu Jingxi's petty temperament, Tantai Mingmo smiled and threw Mu Jingxi a small cloth bag. Mu Jingxi opened the small bag angrily, only to see that Buri was wrapped in a piece of barbecue.

"Grandma's, finally seeing the meat!" Mu Jingxi's snot and saliva all flowed down, and he hadn't touched any meat in the past few days.

Looking at Mu Jingxi's virtue, Yutai Mingmo just chuckled a few times and didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Mu Jingxi finally cheered up, and compared to his previous lifeless appearance, he was a different person. After resting for a while, Mu Jingxi couldn't wait to open a cloth bag, only to see that there were several things displayed in the cloth bag: a crystal clear plant stem like a stamen, and several bottles of viscous and shining essence. This is what was obtained from the cave of that strange ancient tree. In addition, there are three tree fruits and two bottles of pollen in the package.

Mu Jingxi couldn't wait to hold these things and run to the end of the Ming Dynasty. In the past few days, I have seen a lot of strange things in this Henggong Mountain Range, which is much more vivid and mysterious than what Mu Jingxi saw from those strange books in the past, and this trip can be said to have greatly satisfied Mu Jingxi's curiosity. And the rich knowledge of the late Ming Dynasty can always answer all kinds of doubts for Mu Jingxi, which can be said to greatly satisfy Mu Jingxi's thirst for knowledge, so Mu Jingxi admires this teacher more and more!

"Teacher......, ...... quickly!" Mu Jingxi said breathlessly. Now he was puzzled, what was the use of these collected things? So why can ancient trees actively prey on animals like animals?

"Hehe, I knew you couldn't hold your breath." Shantai said with a smile at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then continued under the urging of Mu Jingxi: "This wood is called 'Ghost Mulberry', which is recorded in the strange books such as "Strange News on the Mainland": Where strange beasts are rampant, there are many strange trees, and the name is Ghost Mulberry. Wood and flowers, with a peculiar fragrance. Its branches are like vines, like pythons. Birds and beasts are fascinated by the smell of incense, bound by vines, and then eaten by wood......"

"Oh! I see. Mu Jingxi said in surprise.

"Because of its wide distribution, although the number of this ghost mulberry is not much, it is not very peculiar on the mainland. Because of the birds and beasts, the essence of this tree is gathered in its tree cavity, so it is often taken by treasure hunters. ”

After speaking, the end of the Ming Dynasty picked up the crystal clear stalk and said: "This ghost mulberry takes the tree hole as its mouth, and there is a stem in the tree hole, which is its essence, called 'ghost mulberry', which has the effect of detoxification, hemostasis and stasis, and helps the muscles and bones, and is a rare healing drug, and the highest quality ghost mulberry can even reach the immortal level!" ”

"That teacher, this ghost has such a treasure, wouldn't it have to be killed?" Mu Jingxi asked suspiciously.

"This is because not all of these ghost mulberries can give birth to ghost mulberry whiskers, and the ghost mulberry tree that gives birth to ghost mulberry beards must be at least 100 years old, and even if it reaches a hundred years old, it must swallow enough nutrients. Therefore, those ghost mulberries that are less than a hundred years old will not be the target of treasure explorers. Besides, this ghost mulberry is not impossible to regenerate, so treasure hunters usually leave room for it to take it after taking it away, so that they can take it again in the future......"

This time Mu Jingxi was a little embarrassed, he knew that he was ordering himself at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the feelings of others were all taken away by the ghost mulberry and it was over, but Mu Jingxi directly killed the ghost mulberry. However, Mu Jingxi is the master who will not admit his mistakes, and hurriedly said: "This ghost mulberry is also considered evil here, maybe he has eaten people, I am doing the right thing for heaven."

"For the heavens? If nature gives birth to it, how can it be disgusted with it? Living in one place, all kinds of things are contending, how can it ever violate the way of heaven? ”

"Uh......" Mu Jingxi was speechless for a while, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it. Then his face became a little solemn, perhaps, he did a little too much.

Seeing this, Tantai Ming smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this." The essence extracted from these bottles of the cave can be very relevant to the lives of the mercenaries you are interested in. ”

"Oh?" Mu Jingxi suddenly became interested.

"Although the effect of this essence is not as good as that ghost mulberry, but it is also a healing medicine with a wonderful effect, treasure hunters and mercenaries who run in the mountains and forests all year round are inevitably injured, this thing has become their standing thing, general injuries, just dilute the essence with water, and it can heal quickly after wiping, so it is a cost-effective and easy-to-carry trauma medicine, even your Mu family's clansmen also have to carry."

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi suddenly found that there were so many novel anecdotes in the details around him, this essence he had indeed seen in some branch clansmen who came to report on his work, but he had never cared about it. Maybe the mainland anecdotes that I yearn for are not so far away from what I imagined.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Jingxi asked again: "Teacher, I don't understand, I have seen this demon beast a lot, but how can this plant have such a strange existence as a ghost mulberry?" ”

"Hehe, there are so many strange creatures on the continent, the world you know is too small. In addition to humans, there are many other creatures that can be cultivated. People divide it into several categories, such as demons, spirits, spirits, and monsters. Demon refers to the monsters you are familiar with, not only the creatures on land, but also the creatures in the sea. Plants, unlike animals, are called 'essences', because not all plants can be cultivated, so essences are rarer than demons. And this 'spirit' includes the so-called ghosts, which are the souls and spirits of conscious beings that can survive in the world for a short time after death. Spirits will gradually and completely dissipate into the world over time, but there are many strong spirits that will not dissipate, but can continue to exist like living creatures. In addition, 'weird' means that those objects have consciousness......"

"Pull it down! The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes! Mu Jingxi suddenly opened his mouth. The interrupted Tantai Ming Mo was a little angry, and gave Mu Jingxi a burst and said: "Stinky boy! Don't you know how to respect teachers? Isn't there anything wrong with what I'm saying? ”

"Then I still think what you said before is credible, but the more you say it, the more nonsense it becomes! Can the utensils still be refined? Mu Jingxi hugged his head and said. In fact, having seen the black panther in the ghost Sang and Mu Jingchengyin, Mu Jingxi was actually convinced of what the late Ming Dynasty said, but he just deliberately didn't want to find it and wanted to take the late Ming Dynasty of the Tai Dynasty.

The master and apprentice quarreled for a while, and the atmosphere became a little more active, and the end of the Ming Dynasty saw Mu Jingxi's careful thinking, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic, and continued to tell Mu Jingxi about the vast world.

"It turns out that this world is more interesting than I imagined!" After listening for a while, Mu Jingxi said with emotion.

"How? Interesting, right? Yutai Mingmo asked with a smile.

"Listen to your words and subvert the worldview!"

"Stinky boy! Not serious. Yutai Mingmo scolded with a smile.

Although Mu Jingxi was not serious on the surface, he also found that what he had seen and heard in the past few days had indeed increased rapidly. In fact, in the past, Mu Jingxi's teachers had more or less mentioned some things that were said by the end of the Ming Dynasty, but Mu Jingxi was not interested in listening to them. Therefore, Mu Jingxi can quickly accumulate these things, in addition to the knowledge of the late Ming Dynasty itself, but also because of his clever methods, he can always grasp Mu Jingxi's interests and slowly introduce more things. Therefore, for this teacher, Mu Jingxi likes it more and more.

The so-called good teacher may be good at teaching students according to their aptitude.

After sitting for a while, Mu Jingxi and the two embarked on the trip again, but the conversation between the two did not end.

"Teacher, is the island you are talking about, which sometimes floats on the surface of the water and is sometimes swallowed by the tide, really as amazing as you say?"

"That's nature."

"This world is so wonderful, hey, you said that if I go out to wander, will I also become a hegemon......

"Come on, it's good that you kid don't be sold, and hegemon......"

"Cut, you can do it, see what you can ......"

"Stinky boy! Itchy skin again? ”

……

In the depths of the dense forest, Mu Jingxi followed behind the end of the Ming Dynasty who opened the way, raising all kinds of doubts from time to time, and the end of the Ming Dynasty also took the trouble to answer them one by one, the atmosphere seemed very relaxed, and suddenly, the end of the Ming Dynasty paused and stretched out his hand to stop the topic Mu Jingxi.

"Teacher?"

"Shhh——, don't speak."

Mu Jingxi squatted down at the end of the Ming Dynasty with a suspicious expression. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was half-squatting in the bushes, his eyes probing ahead from time to time.

Mu Jingxi followed the line of sight of the late Ming Dynasty of Shantai, and saw a low and broad saddle between the mountains in front of him, except for the fact that there were rocks mixed in it and the trees were slightly sparser than other places, there seemed to be nothing peculiar.

"Teacher, is there something wrong?" Mu Jingxi said suspiciously.

"Take a closer look."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

Yutai Mingmo was silent for a moment and said, "Don't you think the surroundings are too quiet?" ”

"This? It seems like we didn't hear the birds just now......"

Listening to what Tantai said at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jingxi also reacted, in this deep mountain and dense forest, there are many birds and beasts, so there will always be some sounds of birds and beasts more or less. However, in the area around this relatively wide saddle, it is surprisingly quiet, and there is not even a trace of bird crying, which means that there are no birds gathering around, in other words, there is an area ahead that birds and beasts dare not approach at will!

"Hmm." Yutai nodded at the end of the day, and then said, "Look at the leaves and dirt around here, and then look at the stones in the distance." ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi hurriedly looked around. I saw that water droplets were still dripping from the leaves from time to time, and the soil under my feet was also soaked.

"Here...... Ever rained? ”

Judging by the signs around it, there should have been a heavy rain here before. Discovering this, Mu Jingxi hurriedly looked at the rocks in front of him, only to see that on the surface of the damp stones, some wet soil was faintly visible.

"I see, there's something up ahead!" Mu Jingxi said in a deep voice.

After a rain, it stands to reason that the surface of the stone will be relatively clean after being washed by the rain, and there should be no dirt attached to it, but there are traces of dirt everywhere on the stone, which indicates that there are living creatures moving on it not long ago!

Yutai Mingmo nodded, then closed his eyes, stopped talking, and then a spiritual power radiated out.

Seeing this, Mu Jingxi was very puzzled, and kept shouting at the end of the Ming Dynasty on the side. How did he know that at this time, the surrounding area had already been covered by the spiritual power of the late Ming Dynasty, and all the things and conditions around him had already been fed back into the mind of the late Ming Dynasty.

After a while, Mingmo opened his eyes with a smile, and then said meaningfully: "It seems that your first lesson is about to officially begin......

"Huh? Teacher? ”

Yutai didn't say anything at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but led Mu Jingxi to retreat back the original way......

In the mountains, in a cave, the master and apprentice are resting.

"Teacher......" Mu Jingxi took the lead in breaking the silence, but the end of the Ming Dynasty did not give him a chance to ask questions, and stretched out his hand to interrupt him. Even though Mu Jingxi had a thousand doubts, he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Luckily, this is the right place to teach. Jing Xi, from now on, I will officially start your first lesson. Yutai Mingmo said with a smile.

"Teacher, what kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd? Also, what's up ahead! Mu Jingxi was a little impatient.

"Hehe, don't worry, tell me first, what did you learn from the previous incident?"

"Huh? This one...... Observant? Or be alert? ”

"I think it can be summed up in one word."

"Which word?"

"Survey!" Yutai said in a deep voice at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Mu Jingxi was a little confused.

Tantai Mingmo then said: "As you said, there is indeed something in the stone and wood ahead. ”

"Oh? What is it? Mu Jingxi asked excitedly.

"But I'm not telling you."

"Teacher! What the hell are you going to do? Mu Jingxi was a little annoyed.

"All I can tell you is that this is a real treasure. You are from a wealthy background, and you have not been short in knowledge, and if you get this thing, you will be able to recognize it with your knowledge. "The end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh? Did that work for me? ”

Hearing this, Yutai Mingmo smiled and said, "Of course! I see that your breath fluctuates from time to time, it should be not long after you have just advanced to the Nine Yao Realm, and this thing can just help you stabilize the realm. ”

"So what are you waiting for! Let's go get it," Mu Jingxi jumped up excitedly.

"No, you're going to get it yourself." The end of the Ming Dynasty was extremely serious and authentic.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was a little stunned, go and get it yourself? Just kidding! Judging from the previous signs, that stone forest area is only afraid that there are demon beasts guarding it, and I don't know anything about the situation, so I won't suffer if I go!

"I can only tell you that the demon beasts in front of you are invincible with your strength, but with your intelligence, you may succeed!" The end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Teacher, do you want me to use my wits without force?" Mu Jingxi asked.

Yutai Mingmo nodded, and said: "How to find out the situation and formulate tactics this time is up to you, I will not interfere, and whether you can succeed can only depend on yourself...... And the danger is high! Do you dare to give it a try? ”

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi heard the meaning of the end of the Ming Dynasty, this time it was all up to him, the end of the Ming Dynasty would not go with him, and if he fell into danger due to a mistake, he could only be responsible for himself.

"Teacher, if I face that demon beast, what are my chances of winning?"

"Five points."

After pondering for a moment, Mu Jingxi made up his mind and said, "Dare!" ”

Hearing this, the end of the Ming Dynasty and Mu Jingxi glanced at each other, and then the master and apprentice smiled. Although the end of the Ming Dynasty said that he would let Mu Jingxi go by himself, he would secretly protect Mu Jingxi's thoughtfulness, and he deliberately made Mu Jingxi think that he would not be protected, because he was afraid that Mu Jingxi would have nothing to fear and take it lightly. This is indeed brilliant at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

"By the way, teacher, why didn't you just tell me about the treasure and the monster? Or take me with you? Mu Jingxi asked.

"Hehe, with your kid's temperament, if you know the situation inside, I'm afraid you won't be so interested." Yutai Mingmo shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Mu Jingxi smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Teacher, you said that this is my first lesson, what do you want to teach me?" ”

"One word - Mou!"
