Niutou Mountain.

It is more than 50 miles outside Qingjiang City, and it is the only mountain range within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Qingjiang City, the city of abundant grain, the plains in its domain are vast, countless fertile fields are continuous, and the river system is developed. But only this Niutou Mountain was born very abruptly, standing alone outside Qingjiang City.

When the weather is fine, standing on the city wall, you can see a little shadow of the Niutou Mountain in the distance.

The mountains are long and endless.

There are several peaks in Niutou Mountain, the highest of which is called Niutou Peak by the nearby villagers, and under that Niutou Peak, there is a small mountain village where hundreds of people live. The villagers live on prey in the mountains all day long, and occasionally pick up some herbs to buy in the city, which is also good.

Outside Qingniu Village, on an uneven and unstraight path, an ox cart drove in the distance.

On the ox cart, an old man in a cloak held a bull rope in his hand, and drove the big ox in front of the cart unhurriedly. The ox cart was very slow, walking on the potholed path, and from time to time there was the sound of wine jars colliding, as if pulling a lot of goods.

After a short time, the ox cart came to the front of the village, and the gray-haired old man let out a cry and stopped the ox cart by holding the ox rope.

The old man got out of the cart and took the oxen, first tied them to the tree at the entrance of the village, and then walked to the ox cart and shouted to the cart full of straw:

"Little girl, I'm in the village, I'd rather come down quickly."

As the old man's shout fell, the top of the tall pile of straw in the wooden cart squirmed for a while, and wisps of straw scattered down.

Soon, a white lotus root arm poked out, then a white head, and a whole human figure appeared on the straw pile. The man looked very old, and was dressed in a jet-black gown, which contrasted sharply with her snow-white hair.

The girl was tugging at the straw mixed in her hair, and at the same time spitting out the straw residue in her mouth, she looked around on the roof of the car, and saw that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the willows and flowers were bright, and the smoke of the cooking in the village was curling, just like a peasant scene.

The small mountain village in front of him is very small in the contrast of several mountain peaks in the distance, and the mountain village is as insignificant as a grain of rice under the majestic mountain.

The girl seemed to have never seen such a majestic mountain, and her face was surprised, only to see her turn over, and fall to the ground lightly, first straightening the folds on her clothes, and then asking the old man very curiously:

"Uncle, is this Niutou Mountain?"

"This beating is Niutou Mountain, which is a few thin miles in circumference, and there are other mountains. Girl, I'd rather go to this mountain to do sabrid, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, or don't go to miles. ”

This old man is seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair and gray beard, and he speaks with a slight accent.

And this woman in black is Hua Ying, who has just come out of Qingjiang City, and she happened to meet this old man on the way to Niutou Mountain.

The old man had just loaded a truckload of goods from other towns and was about to return to the village, when he saw that Hua Ying was young and rushed to Niutou Mountain alone, he called her to get in the car and said that he would take her all the way.

Hua Ying was not ambiguous, although the speed of the ox cart was very slow, far less than her own footsteps, but under the kindness of the old man, she still chose to take it.

When she reached the road, she fell asleep in a pile of straw in a daze, and when she woke up, she found that she had reached Niutou Mountain.

This mountain is tall, compared to Qingya Mountain, which is just a small hill, and the two are not at all comparable.

If you want to use one of the few inks in the belly of Huaying to describe this mountain, it is, the mountains are stacked, thousands of mountains are green, towering into the clouds, and the lone peak is protruding, so ......

No matter how much she can't describe, she can't help it, after all, she has just gotten rid of illiteracy for a few years, and it takes time to accumulate before she learns.

The old man has a good heart, and Hua Ying is quite grateful for this, but she must have come here to enter the mountain, so for this reason, she can only thank the old man for his kindness for the time being.

"Uncle, is there only one way into the mountain? Or is it possible to go into the mountains somewhere else? As she spoke, Hua Ying pointed to a path leading to the mountains next to the back of Qingniu Village.

Seeing that Hua Ying insisted on entering the mountain, the old man did not persuade him again, and said truthfully: "Wow, this road is beaten, other roads are usually not walked, and this road is safer." ”

"That being the case...... Then thank you for the love of the old man, and the younger generation will enter the mountain here, if you have the opportunity, you will see you in the future. ”

After that, Hua Ying bent down slightly towards the old man, and after saluting goodbye, she picked up her sword and chose the mountain road.

After she walked away, she stayed where she was, and after a pair of cloudy eyes watched her back gradually fade away, the old man bent his waist and sighed for a long time.

"It's a pity, what a handsome girl, if you can't live well, you have to go to death. In the mountains, can a little girl Ning go, the old cat has to tear Ning up when she comes out, alas. ”

The mountain road is far away, and the wilderness is secluded.

Hua Ying only relied on a sword and recklessly entered the mountains and forests.

The breeze in the mountain is coming, the forest covers the sun and the sky, and the occasional wind blows and the grass moves, and it is still determined to move forward.

In February, the flowers bloom and the grass grows, and this year's spring came exceptionally early.

Hua Ying observed all the way, only a stick of incense, and walked for several miles, and then looked back, the Qingniu Village had long been out of sight.

"This mountain is huge and difficult to trace, I don't know if we can find the cliff mentioned by the old farmer that day."

Today, when she came to Niutou Mountain, Hua Ying actually had only one purpose, which was to come to the star grass.

The importance of star grass, in recent months, she had already figured out through several rounds of experiments, its medicinal power was far greater than all the herbs she had taken in the past, and there was no toxicity, if it was used as an auxiliary medicine for cultivation, it could be said to be extremely suitable.

However, it is imminent that the land in the Jade Pendant Space has been exhausted in the past few days.

The star grass needed a lot of fertility to grow, and in less than a month, the land was drained completely, and now the half acre of Huaying's land is almost no different from a barren land, and nothing can grow anymore.

She had to pull out the few remaining star grasses and store them.

Before finding a way to regain the fertility of the land, Hua Ying could only pin her hopes on finding a large amount of star grass in the wild to maintain her cultivation speed.

Of course, the premise is that the wild star grass is also medicative.

If you want to find the cliffs, Hua Yingzi should go to a high place, but there are many peaks in Niutou Mountain, and the cliffs are countless.

"The people in the village should not go deep into the mountains to collect medicine, it seems that they still have to look for it on the periphery of this mountain."

As soon as she thought of this, Hua Ying was not in a hurry to go to the mountain, she saw that there were many towering trees around, so she jumped up lightly and jumped onto the branches of one of the trees, and then several more jumps, two or three times up to the top of the canopy.

Standing on the top of the tree, the field of vision is much broader, Hua Ying raised her eyes, secretly wrote down the location of several cliffs, and then drifted down and looked for the way.
