Chapter 77: Fishing Caught in the South China Sea
Qingzhu said to herself: "The girl said that looking for a small strange grass in this vast foggy mountain is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. However, she also said that this strange grass has a trait, it likes a cold and damp environment, and it is saprophytic among the dead branches and leaves. The most important thing is that it is said that where there is a giant salamander, it is often accompanied by the growth of this grass, and sure enough, it is still a girl who is powerful. ”
Qingzhu opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and the three sentences did not leave Li Wanyan, which shows that his admiration and loyalty to his master are deep in his bones.
Qing Song still questioned one more sentence; "However, it is so small and weak, is it really the mysterious and strange 'Flower of the Underworld' in the legend?"
"It's called the Flower of the Underworld, and it's also called the Ghost Grass. It is because it is born small and mysterious and rare. Qing Song said as he stopped the others from taking another step, for fear that they would move too loudly, so he scared the ghost grass in front of him to disappear.
Qingzhu hid behind Qingsong, and asked again uneasily, "But, big brother, why doesn't this flower bloom?" If it is not opened, does it mean that it is not mature, and there is no medicinal effect? ”
Qingzhu looked back at him dotingly, "The girl also said that this flower only blooms at night, so it's called 'Flower of the Underworld'." Usually no one will see it when it blooms. ”
Qing Song sighed in his heart: "It grows in the rotten leaves of the high mountains, and it can only bloom at night, which is really worthy of the title of "Flower of the Underworld".
As he was thinking, Qingzhu took two small hoes from a retinue, handed them to him, and instructed, "Be careful, don't touch the bottom of it." Because it has no rhizomes, if it leaves the soil a little, it will wither. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully dig up all the soil around it two feet wide and two feet deep at the bottom so as not to damage it in the slightest. ”
Then, the two of them carefully dug out the ghost grass inch by inch, inch by inch, and put it into a large basket prepared in advance.
Qingzhu said to the black-clothed man with the bamboo basket on his back: "Ah Qiang, the four of you must be careful all the way, and send this ghost grass back to the house safe and sound." Remember, if the ghost grass is damaged on the way, don't go back to your home, find a place to bury your bones! ”
“……”
Ah Qiang nodded cautiously, stopped speaking, carefully protected the basket on his shoulder, and walked back with the other three.
Qing Song looked at their backs as they gradually moved away, let out a long breath, and whispered: "It turns out that the purpose of the girl entering the mountain is to find the ghost grass. It's amazing that I've really been found! ”
There was amazement and incredulity in his tone, but more admiration. Qingzhu also quietly agreed: "The girl said that as long as you follow the doctor and blame them, you will find the six flavors of the strange medicine, and it will be just around the corner." No, but in the middle of the decade, we just found a blind one, can't we think of it? The girl is like a god. ”
"Big brother, I don't understand, why can I only find those strange medicines by following the doctors? The doctor didn't look for medicine, he was only bent on finding revenge on the five demons, and it had nothing to do with medicine. Qing Song frowned and questioned.
"This?" Qingzhu didn't answer his question for the first time, and was silent for a while, "The girl didn't tell me the reason. Forget it, she doesn't say it, she has her own reasons and reasons. So, let's just execute and believe in her unconditionally, yes. ”
"Okay, listen to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother must be right." Qing Song blinked, saw the person walking slowly behind him, and urged: "Old Yang, can you go faster." ”
"Legs ~ short, walk ~ not fast." Yang Huai replied slowly and angrily.
"Your legs are still short?" Qing Song couldn't help but stretch out his own, and compared it with the tall and thin latter from a distance.
Li Wanyan's four personal guards, green pines and cypresses, green bamboos and poplars, are almost the same height and size, and even their appearance is all heroic and extraordinary, and no one is bad.
If you say who is shorter than whom, it is really difficult to tell with the naked eye.
But the character is that the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each with its own merits.
Qingzhu is the eldest of the four, both civil and military, old and serious, very measured, and weighty.
Yang Huai usually has a hanging face, an indifferent face that no one can approach. Therefore, he is the most mysterious, and I don't know how kung fu is?
Qingsong's personality is the most peaceful, he seems to have no city, he is approachable, and he greets people with a smile, but in fact, he is the most clever and changeable, and his mind is quick.
As for Cui Bai, he has a simple personality, and because of his stammering, in addition to being taciturn, he is simple in front of people, and he seems to be the weakest of the four.
But this time, Li Wanyan left him alone, and the deep meaning is self-evident.
Qingzhu Lala, who was longer than his legs, said with a smile: "What are you competing with him?" Gone, Lao Yang, don't you know? Nothing is slow, and something is as fast as the wind. If he really gets up, you and my brother won't be able to catch up even if they shoot horses. ”
"But I've never seen him fast, can you believe it?" Qing Song squinted his eyes and questioned.
"Actually, I haven't seen him go too far." Qingzhu told the truth, and changed the conversation, "But if the girl says that he is like this, he must be like this." Believe in the girl, yes. ”
"Okay, listen to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is not wrong." Qingsong happily replied, and followed Qingzhu step by step.
Lao Yang, who was not far behind the two of them, sighed, rolled his eyes several times, and said with disgust and disdain: "Huh! Didn't look at it, wherever these two brothers went, they were afraid that others would not know that they were brothers? Then, he spoke in his throat: "My brother listens to the girl, and my brother listens to my brother, hey, it's disgusting." ”
A few days later, on the coast of the South China Sea, in Haiyang County, Yingzhou.
The sun rises in the east, and it is the busiest and lively time in the morning market, and the flow of people is bustling and endless.
In Anle Lane in the east of the city, in front of the door of a small mansion, a person with a cane, wearing a gray cloak, wrapped his whole body tightly, was gently pulling the buckle on the door panel.
Leaning slightly, someone answered the door, saw the person who came was slightly startled, and saw that the body of the person coming was crumbling, and he didn't care about talking and greetings, so he pushed him into the door, and quickly closed the door and latched.
At noon, in the Changfeng Inn in the city, a group of dusty guests were ushered in.
As soon as Ning He Ku sat down, and before he could take a sip of tea, Shen Wuxuan stared at him and asked a long list of questions: "Xiao Ku, since this Ruoxue entered the city, it has been hovering in the sky, which means that the poisonous evil is hidden somewhere in the city, right?" You said that although this Haiyang county town is remote and not very prosperous, it is a county town anyway, you say that the vicious accomplice will not hide here, right? Isn't he afraid of being exposed? ”
"The small is hidden in the mountains, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court." It's better to talk leisurely.
"Yes, too...... Syllable! Shen Wuxuan slapped his hand on the table of the Eight Immortals in front of him, "The five evils are cunning by nature, they are the best at calculating people's hearts, and they often act unexpectedly. Who would have thought that they would be hidden in the middle of the city! Damn, damn it? ”
Ning He just pinched the teacup and brought it to his mouth, but was stopped by Shen Wuwu halfway, and continued to chatter, "However, Ruoxue can only lead in a general direction, and can't find the specific location where the poisonous evil is hiding, although this Haiyang County is small, but after all, it is a county?" Where are we going to find them? ”
Ning He took away his hand and sighed, "Lao Wu, you and I are mortals, flesh and blood, and we want to eat, drink, rest, and sleep." ”
"......" Shen is meaningless: "Yes, yes, then you drink tea quickly, and we will discuss it slowly after drinking." ”
"Stop!" Ning Heku decisively refused, "In the past half a month, after we went out of the foggy mountains, we almost never stopped, running all the way, from Shuzhou in the southwest to Guyingzhou on the shore of the South China Sea. I finally stopped to have an inn to live in, as well as soft quilts and hot meals, so I decided to rest for a day or two before making plans? ”
"What?" Shen Wuxian stared at the poisonous sun outside the window, a little dizzy from the white daylight, and his temper grew, "Wait for two more days, the daylily will be cold, and the poisonous demon and his accomplices will have already run away, let alone the door when the time comes, there will be no broken windows, no, go find it now." ”
"Don't worry, since he can come here, it means that there is someone he is looking for, and he will not run away all at once. Besides, this is the South China Sea, where can he go? Drift out to sea? Also, the poisonous demon has serious injuries, and if he doesn't stop to heal properly, he will definitely die. So, he can't run for the time being. You just let me take a nap in peace, right? I'm so sleepy. ”
After he finished his tirade, he simply lay down on the couch, yawned, looked sleepy and tired, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Lao Wu, you can also go back to the house to rest!" By the way, remember to look in the mirror when you go back, like a wild man, can you take care of yourself? ”
Shen Wusense: "...... You! ”
The next moment, he turned around angrily and went back to his room, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and after drinking it all, he really found a mirror to look at his dignity.
I don't know if I don't know it, and I'm shocked when I take it. He was really stunned by his dignity.
Not to mention that his face is as black as charcoal, but his beard is so long that he can tie a few knots. He threw the mirror aside and said angrily: "Hmph, don't pick it up!" Blame me, do I rely on my face to eat? I rely on unparalleled medical skills, huh! ”
In another room.
Li Wanyan supported herself with one hand, and gently tapped the table with the other, also falling into deep thought.
Thinking about it, maybe she was too tired, or maybe the scorching afternoon was sleepy, so she fell asleep on the table.
As soon as Wen Li, who was in the room next to her, saw the pillow, she jumped up and muttered, "I'm going to sleep, Xiao Wu, don't disturb me." ”
Why bother to listen to Shen's senseless footsteps go away, that is, turn over and get up, his handsome face is radiant, the dragon spirit is fierce, where is he like a tired and sleepy person?
At this moment, he felt that acting alone could get twice the result with half the effort, so he quickly dismissed Shen Wufu.
He first confirmed it again, if it wasn't for the poisonous evil to lead the way and Ruoxue to track him, who would have thought that the poisonous evil would have escaped from the west of Shuzhou to the edge of the South China Sea in the south.
In other words, his companion must also be in this Haiyang City. This is not a matter of nonsense.
Look, put a long line to catch big fish, this line is too long, and the bait is put into the South China Sea.
I don't know which one will be caught?
Why bother to be interested, where is he still in the mood to meet Zhou Gong? At this moment, what he wants to see most is only poison and other evils, anything can be done! All are welcome.
At present, the most important thing is to find the poison first!
He is seriously injured now, and he is coming for his accomplices, so naturally he will not go to the guest house or anything. But no matter where you go, the first thing you need is to ask for medicine. And in a small county like this, there must not be many medical centers and medicinal herb stores.
Also, the poisonous demon will definitely not let others approach him easily, and the only way is to buy medicinal herbs and go back to take medicine himself.
After all, he is good at poisoning, and naturally he knows a little bit about medicine.
That's it.
As soon as he said it, he immediately went out lightly, and when he passed by Shen Wuxuan's room, he still lay down at the door and eavesdropped, and there were bursts of snoring from the door.
