Chapter 102: Latent
The group walked all the way, zigzag for about two hours, and finally came to a stop in a ruined village, which was already deserted.
Zhang Yu looked at the crazy weeds and half-human-tall thorns around him, and couldn't help but nod secretly, and said, "This place is uninhabited, and it is so remote, it is indeed a good place to hide!"
"yes, in the blink of an eye, we haven't been back for nearly a decade. The memories have become a little blurry, and I only vaguely remember the voices and smiles of the old people in the village back then. ”
"When I was a child, I was often beaten and scolded by my father because I was naughty, so when I made a mistake, I ran to hide in a natural cave behind a waterfall on the east side, and waited until my father was angry and came out secretly. Later, because of the frequent harassment of demon beasts, my father was also severely injured during a defense against demon beasts, and finally left after a long illness. Since then, the people of the village have moved away one after another, and finally the village has been abandoned. ”
"The third child and I had the strongest relationship back then, so when our respective relatives passed away one after another, we began to go out side by side, and we all changed from a hairy boy to an old man. Xiao Feng looked at the grass and trees in front of him and said with nostalgia.
"Yes, thanks to your care, eldest brother, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today, and later, we successively got married to the second brother, the fourth brother, and the little nine, and the fourth brother kept arguing with me and said that he wanted to come to us to take a look, I have been perfunctory, but I didn't do it, I'm ashamed!" Xiao Laosan was also touched by the scene, and thought of the brother who was killed by the ghost, and his eyes were also a little moist.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. In the face of life and death, Xiao Laosan never frowned, but at this moment, the iron-blooded man showed a tender scene.
"The deceased is already alive, the second brother, they must not want us to be so sad, we have to live well in the future, let them rest assured!" Xiao Feng was still the most calm, looking at the depressed crowd and couldn't help but persuade.
"Let's go, I'll take you to that cave, we might have to stay here for a short time. As he spoke, he took a step and began to walk towards the edge of the village.
......
From the outside, no one would have imagined that there was a cave behind this, a cave hidden. Not to mention outsiders, even at that time, only a few of our friends in Xiaojia Village knew, and everyone swore at that time, and no one would say it. Xiao Feng stood in front of a waterhole and pointed to the waterfall that was cascading down in front of him.
At this time, what is displayed in front of everyone is a pool of water, the water of the pool is crystal clear, the pebbles at the bottom of the pool are clearly visible, and above the pool, there is a waterfall about one zhang wide.
There is no kind of heroism that flies straight down 3,000 feet, but it is docile like a fairy, fluttering and sprinkling, slowly falling, occasionally splashing some crystal droplets, the sun shines on it, colorful, unpredictable, beautiful.
Xiao Feng jumped, first passing through the waterfall that covered the cave like a water curtain, and then everyone rushed away and appeared in the cave.
"I really can't imagine that there is a cave here!" After entering the cave, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh lightly.
I saw that there was a palm-wide crack on the top of the cave, and the sunlight shone down through the crack, so the cave was very bright, in addition to the simple stone chairs carved from several stones, there were many lush plants growing, adding some vitality to the dead cave.
"Let's live here now, the cave is not big, but it is more than enough for a few of us, and when the limelight is over for a while, we will flee to other towns, anyway, the continent is so big, there is always a place for us to stay!" Xiao Feng said to the crowd.
"Brother Xiao Feng, I don't know what happened to the seven-leaf purple jade lotus that you and the ghost were talking about, I can't hide it, I was hit hard by the master of the Hao family, and I haven't fully recovered until now, and it is very important to my recovery. Zhang Yu suddenly asked Xiao Feng.
Seven-leaf purple jade lotus, the top elixir of the sixth grade, has docile medicinal properties, and it is the most suitable for Zhang Yu to recover from his injuries. It grows a leaf every 100 years, blooms in 700 years, and then grows a lotus seed every 100 years, and it takes another 700 years to mature.
When the seven-leaf purple jade lotus was immature, not only did it not have any medicinal effect, but it was a highly poisonous thing, even if the martial arts were contaminated, it was very tricky to completely remove it. What's even more frustrating is that the ripening period of the seven-leaf purple jade lotus is only a short quarter of an hour, and the expired fruit will automatically fall off and be absorbed by the plant itself, waiting for the next fruit to be conceived.
Therefore, although the short-lived seven-leaf purple jade lotus is ranked among the top elixirs of the sixth grade, it is often priceless, and every time it is born, it will fetch a sky-high price, which is more precious than some seventh-grade primary elixirs.
"We were able to meet it, in fact, it was pure coincidence, when we took the task, we wanted to go to the mountains to find some four-grade elixir Wuling Ye, who knew that Wuling Ye did not find, but we accidentally stumbled into a cave and found the colorful purple jade lotus, but at that time, this elixir had not yet reached the maturity stage, and there were also fifth-level demon beasts guarding it, so we temporarily retreated, discussing whether to risk getting it. ”
"But who knows, because the ghost shadow has a grudge against us, he actually sold the news to the Hao family's martial arts master who was stationed in Dayangliu Town for unknown reasons, in order to prevent the news from leaking and attracting more competitors, the Hao family's worship elder Liu Mu actually wanted to kill us all!"
"If it weren't for the second and third children who attracted the rest of the Hao family, I might not have been able to come back. Xiao Feng talked about this, his fists clenched, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with resentment.
"Are you saying that the elixir hasn't matured yet?" Zhang Yu said when he heard this.
"Well, it will take at least two days for the lotus seeds to really ripen. Xiao Feng said affirmatively, "What are you asking for, do you want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and grab the seven-leaf purple jade lotus with Wuzun?"
"Well, I had that in mind. Zhang Yu said truthfully.
"No, don't mention Wuzun, even that fifth-level guardian demon beast blue-eyed golden toad is not something we can deal with!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but say in horror when he heard that Zhang Yu really had this plan in his heart.
"Hasn't Brother Xiao Feng heard of the snipe clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman? If the martial arts master of the Hao family wants to get the seven-leaf purple jade lotus, he will definitely have a dragon fight with the blue-eyed golden toad, and in that gap is our chance!" Zhang Yu smiled and explained.
"That's impossible, right? If you want to snatch the Seven-Leaf Purple Jade Lotus from under the noses of the two great martial masters, it's unrealistic. Xiao Feng still said in disbelief.
"It's man-made, nothing is impossible. And I believe that the Wu Zun of the Hao family will also think so, it must be that he came forward to entangle the blue-eyed golden toad, and then sent another person to sneak in and steal the mature lotus seeds. Zhang Yu analyzed very confidently.
"Please also ask Brother Xiao Feng to help me!" For the seven-leaf purple jade lotus, Zhang Yu is now extremely thirsty, as long as he gets it, and with the chalcedony pill in his hand, Zhang Yu is sure that he will repair all the injuries within three days.
"It's... Okay, my life was originally given to you by Brother Zhang, but the scar on the head can't fall off the mouth of the bowl, the big deal is not death, I will accompany you to fight for the seven-leaf purple jade lotus tonight. Xiao Feng hesitated slightly, but he agreed very heroically.
"Big brother, you misunderstood, I was planning for you to take me to the place where you found the seven-leaf purple jade lotus tonight, and then you come back, I will lurk there alone, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to make a move. ”
"Then what's the matter, when the time comes, I'll attract the attention of others, won't it be easier for you to start?"
"No, I'm acting flexibly there alone, but it's even more difficult to be discovered, and I'm not afraid that you will mind, bringing you with me will add a burden!" finally rejected Xiao Feng's simplicity and said undoubtedly.
Hearing this, Xiao Feng wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Yu's rather serious expression, his lips moved, and he finally agreed, and began to wait for the night to fall.
......
"About a mile ahead, there will be a small mountain, the seven-leaf purple jade lotus grows in the cave at the top of the mountain, and the blue-eyed golden-eyed toad is guarding the cave, if it hadn't been for the last time we were there, it happened to go out to forage for food, maybe our whole team would have perished here. Xiao Feng pointed to the vague hill not far away, and said with some palpitations.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Feng, just send it here, I guess the old man Liu Mu is also hiding around here, and taking you with you is like a bright light in the night, so I can't make a move at all, so you hurry back and wait for my news, at most two days, I will turn back." Zhang Yu stared at Xiao Feng and said solemnly.
"That's good, but you must be careful alone, and you must not be reckless!" After Xiao Feng warned Zhang Yu again, he hugged his fists, turned around and disappeared into the vast dark night.
At this time, night had already fallen, and if Xiao Feng had not led the way, Zhang Yu really couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Yu dodged, climbed an ancient tree, and looked into the distance.
"No matter how much risk you take, you must get the Seven-Leaf Purple Jade Lotus this time, otherwise if I want to recover from this injury, it will definitely be far away. ”
Looking at the vague figure hidden in the night, Zhang Yu clenched his fists tightly, and the essence in his eyes burst out.
