Chapter 143: Getting the first step
"Now that the people have arrived, let's go."
Elder Jin Shi, the head of the six elders, glanced over the group of disciples, and said in a loud voice, "Before that, I will explain three things. ”
"First, Qiu Cai can't help fighting and robbing, but as long as he goes down the mountain, he can't use force anymore, and the violators will be severely punished!"
"Second, pay attention to proportion, and deliberately mutilate your fellow disciples to pay for your life!"
"Third, the autumn harvest lasts for three days, and on the third day, we will meet here from noon to unitary."
Elder Shui Jing returned to the front of the team and whispered, "After you go up the mountain, you should be smart and act carefully. When you encounter difficulties with your own people, you can help them and do what you can. ”
Zhao Lin and others claimed to be.
"Disciples of all departments, let's go!"
With Elder Jinshi's order, the six disciples rushed towards the five peaks.
More than two hundred disciples divided into five streams, and the tide generally rushed to the five peaks.
Zhong Yewu and Xiang Bao, the two disciples who ranked in the top two in the spring competition, took the lead, aiming for the highest middle finger peak.
Lin Qiutong of the Aoki Department, Du Zhong and Du Nian of the Law and Earth Department, took several powerful disciples from the headquarters to climb the index finger peak.
Of the fifty disciples in the outer courtyard, more than half of them rushed to the Ring Finger Peak.
The three main peaks were occupied, and some disciples had already chosen their favorite peaks, but when they saw this, they changed direction halfway through and turned to the Little Thumb Peak and Big Thumb Peak, which were not so fiercely competitive.
Wuzhi Mountain is inaccessible, there is no mountain road to walk, and there are even some places where you need to use both hands and feet to climb up.
The disciples consciously did not crowd together, but spread out, looking for a suitable place to go up the mountain.
Zhao Lin blended in the crowd and came to the bottom of the middle finger peak.
He didn't accelerate with all his might at the beginning, but took a detour, deliberately picked a rugged and uninhabited place, thrust the cow tendon stick behind his back, and climbed up the mountain.
After climbing for a while, the body was gradually obscured by the lush vegetation protruding from the mountain.
Zhao Lin glanced down the mountain, and the twenty-eight acupuncture points on his chest and back spewed up at the same time, directly pulling his body up.
Rare herbs are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and must be ahead of others.
Crossing the steepest section at the beginning, a slope appeared on the outlet, Zhao Lin closed the acupoint, slowly landed on his feet, and ran towards the mountain.
The trees on the slopes grow diagonally upward, tall and verdant, with canopies and vines entwined around the trees, swirling upwards with exotic flowers of various colors.
Zhao Lin used his nose to breathe as hard as he could, sniffing out the various scents in the air along the way.
Soil, flowers, dead leaves, fruits, insects, beasts......
Since absorbing the spirit of the smelling marten, these smells are like paintings on a blank piece of paper to him, unobstructed.
In order to save energy, when encountering difficult road sections, they will spray energy into the air to cross them, and run on their legs on easy road sections.
Walking to about two-thirds of the mountain, Zhao Lin suddenly smelled a smell of pine nuts, with a hint of sweetness and sourness.
"What does it smell like?"
Zhao Lin raised his head and found himself in the midst of a verdant pine forest.
The forest is dark and cool, and the sunlight casts dappled shadows through the gaps in the leaves.
It's September, and it's when the pine cones are ripe, so it's normal to have the taste of pine nuts, but where does the sweet and sour taste come from?
The smell is absent, and it smells a bit like a pineapple from a previous life.
Zhao Lin wasn't sure if this fruit existed in this world, but pineapples were grown in the tropics, and Yanzhou definitely couldn't have them.
After a moment's hesitation, he stopped his ascent and walked deeper into the pine forest.
I'd rather delay some time than figure things out!
There are only some low plants and trees in the pine forest, although there are some flowers and plants, but the taste is not right.
Feel free to go deeper, and the taste seems to be a little stronger.
Zhao Lin looked around, didn't see any special herbs, and couldn't help but feel strange.
With your own sense of smell, as long as you are sure of the taste, you will definitely be able to find the source.
What's going on this time?
After wandering around for a while, I finally saw a small grass that was not good-looking, but it was different, under a vigorous pine tree.
It is said that it is not good-looking because the grass grows a bit like plantain, dwarf and small, with only seven or eight leaves.
The difference is that there is no grass growing around this grass for three feet.
There are quirks!
Zhao Lin's eyelids jumped and he walked over quickly.
Not all rare herbs are fragrant and red, and some seem to be ordinary, but they are extremely precious medicinal herbs.
When I got closer, the taste was still very light.
Zhao Lin thought for a while, leaned over and lay on the ground, the taste was really much stronger.
Glancing up at Honka, his heart moved.
Could it be......
Zhao Lin's heart jumped violently, and he quickly took out a small shovel from his backpack and began to dig down a foot around the grass.
The shovel waved, the soil flew, and after a while, Zhao Lin dug the whole piece of soil out of the ground.
The clod of earth was peeled open, revealing a fist-sized pit shaped like a walnut.
The core is dark red, and the surface is wound with several ring-like textures as if carved with a knife.
"Pine Blossom Aoi!"
Zhao Lin breathed for a moment, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Comparing the memories of rare herbs in my mind, I determined that the thing in front of me was Songpo Kui.
Pine sunflower, also known as amber sunflower, is extremely demanding on the environment and only grows in the old pine forest.
Pine sunflower absorbs the essence of pine forest and eats pine resin.
When the pine oil drips, it is like rain and dew, and over the years, the rhizome gives birth to the pit, and it takes hundreds of years to start growing.
Zhao Lin carefully took off the pit and put it in the medicine storage box.
After thinking about it, he reburied the rest in the earth.
What he had taken was actually the most valuable tuber of the Songper, and the rest of the herb was still alive.
Maybe a few hundred years later, another pit will grow.
"I wonder who will be cheaper then?"
Zhao Lin smiled slightly, strode out of the pine forest, and walked towards the peak.
The first time I made a move, I harvested the best herbs, and my heart was happy, and even my steps became lighter.
……
After Zhao Lin left, after about half a burnt incense, a young man with a high nose and deep eyes and vigorous movements came to the pine forest.
If Zhao Lin was present, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was Xiang Bao, a disciple of the Fire Jade Sect.
In the crook of the leopard's arm curled up was a small fox with silver spots.
Approaching the pine forest, the fox suddenly stood up, its nose fluttering.
"Smell it?"
Xiang Bao glanced at the pine forest and shouted: "Go!" ”
The fox jumped on the ground as if it had spirits, and sprang quickly into the woods.
Xiang Leopard comes from a martial arts family, and his ancestor caught a rare silver-spotted fox cub outside the gate nine years ago.
The silver-spotted fox has a keen sense of smell and does not lose to the smell of the marten, but it is more intelligent and humane.
This silver-spotted fox has been trained since he was a child and can recognize more than 20 kinds of rare medicinal herbs, which have always been reused by the family.
In order to get five or six Dan, Xiang Bao finally borrowed it.
Two fox cries were heard in the pine forest.
Xiang Leopard's face was overjoyed, and he said to himself: "It seems that there are rare medicinal herbs in the forest, I don't know if it is Red Fuling or Jin Shotgan?" ”
"If only Tsunepo Aoi were pine-flower......"
