Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hell

After helping Li Zhong take revenge, Ling Zhan left Qingyang Town alone and traveled eastward, heading in the direction of Jiming Mountain......

Two days later, at the foot of Jiming Mountain, a teenager was holding a huge sheepskin map and looking at it carefully, looking at the map while comparing the scenery in front of him.

A smile finally appeared on the boy's face.

The young man muttered, "It seems that this is the foot of Jiming Mountain!"

This boy is Ling Zhan.

At this time, Ling Zhan had already come to Jiming Mountain!

Jiming Mountain is not very handsome, but it is undulating, winding endlessly, looking from a distance, it looks like a long dragon hovering on the ground.

Ling Zhan was very curious, where did the name Jiming Mountain come from?

Just as Ling Zhan was looking out from the mountain at the foot of the mountain, suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance.

Ling Zhan's eyes were sharp, and he soon discovered this person's save!

However, this person is just an ordinary person and does not have any cultivation.

It wasn't until this man approached that Ling Zhan could see his appearance clearly.

This man was tall, dressed in a light gray coarse cloth dress, and his bronzed complexion made him look very healthy, but perhaps it was a perennial work, and his face was already covered with traces of time, making him look very old.

However, Ling Zhan found that this person's eyes were very bright, and behind him, he was carrying a medicine basket, in which there were a few green herbs, and on the branches and leaves of the herbs, there were still a few drops of dew.

This person should be the medicine picker in the shopkeeper.

And this herb picker was also taken aback when he saw Ling Zhan, obviously, the herb picker didn't expect to be able to meet a living person here! And this stranger turned out to be a doll who didn't look very old.

Ling Zhan walked a few steps closely, came to the front of the medicine picker, and said, "Uncle, is this Jiming Mountain?"

The medicine picker glanced at Ling Zhan, a slight smile appeared on his face, and said, "That's right, it's Jiming Mountain!

Ling Zhan nodded and said, "I have this idea, I heard that the scenery here is good, and I want to visit it!"

Hearing Ling Zhan's words, the herb picker couldn't help but laugh.

Ling Zhan was stunned and said, "Why is my uncle laughing?"

The medicine picker looked at Ling Zhan and said, "The little queen is a slippery head, making up nonsense to deceive the old man! The old man of the entire Jiming Mountain has walked back and forth tens of thousands of times, and he has not seen any good scenery! In addition to the herbs and stones, what is there to see on the mountain?"

Suddenly, the medicine picker seemed to have thought of something, he frowned, and asked with a worried face: "Little Housheng, aren't you going to the evil place in the depths of Jiming Mountain?"

"Evil land?" Ling Zhan was stunned for a moment and said, "Old man, what evil land?"

The medicine picker looked puzzled and said, "You don't know about that evil land, then what are you doing in Jiming Mountain? Don't tell the old man that you are also here to collect medicine?"

Ling Zhan said helplessly: "I just heard of the name of Jiming Mountain, and I just want to visit it!"

Seeing that Ling Zhan's expression was sincere, and it didn't look like he was telling a lie, the medicine picker dissuaded: "Little offspring, the old man advises you not to go up this Jiming Mountain! This Jiming Mountain is too evil! Don't be careless and lose your life!"

Ling Zhan asked strangely, "Old man, have you been to that evil land?"

A look of fear suddenly appeared on the face of the herb picker, and he said, "How could the old man go to such a strange place, I haven't lived long enough?"

Seeing the expression on the face of the herb picker at this time, Ling Zhan knew that this old man was not telling him the truth! At the very least, he should know something about this evil land!

Or rather, that evil land is the destination of his trip!

Thinking of this, Ling Zhan continued to ask, "Old man, can you tell me about that evil land?"

The old man looked at Ling Zhan with a wary expression and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Ling Zhan smiled: "I'm just a little curious! It stands to reason that the scenery of this Jiming Mountain is also quite good, why haven't I met a few people along the way?"

The old man shook his head and said to Ling Zhan: "Little Housheng, have you heard of an old saying, curiosity kills cats! That evil place is not a good place, listen to the advice of the good man, how did you come here, go back quickly, don't come to this place in the future, this Jiming Mountain is evil from the inside out!"

Hearing the old man say this, Ling Zhan became more and more curious about this evil land!

Ling Zhan took out a small piece of silver from his arms, he didn't take out the gold, he was afraid of intimidating this old man! Ling Zhan knew very well that a medicine picker like the one in front of him lived a very poor life, and if he was given gold at first glance, I was afraid it would really scare him!

Seeing the silver in Ling Zhan's hand, Ling Zhan found that the old man's eyes seemed to be attracted by this piece of silver.

After a long time, the old man said, "Little Housheng, what are you doing with the silver?"

Ling Zhan smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm just very interested in that evil land! In this way, if you tell me about that evil land, then this piece of silver is yours!"

Before Ling Zhan's words fell, the old man immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no! Your curiosity is too heavy, if I tell you something, and you don't go directly to that evil place, won't the old man hurt you! No, absolutely not!"

However, when he said this, the old man stared at the silver in Ling Zhan's hand tightly, and there seemed to be some regret in his eyes.

Ling Zhan smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle, I know that you are for my good! It's okay, I don't have anything but curiosity! Actually, I'm not very bold, if I go to this Jiming Mountain alone, I'm really a little scared! So don't worry, I will definitely not go up this Jiming Mountain!"

Speaking of this, Ling Zhan continued to tempt: "Don't you want this piece of silver?"

The old man said: "How can you not want it, the old man, I can't earn so much silver after picking medicine for a month!"

Ling Zhan said: "In this case, you can talk to me, uncle, and you can't waste too much of your time, this piece of silver is yours!"

Seeing that the old man seemed to have some hesitation, Ling Zhan smiled and said: "That's it, old man, when you finish talking about that evil land, I will immediately turn around and leave, leaving this Jiming Mountain, so you should rest assured!"

Hearing Ling Zhan's words, the old man's eyes lit up, and he said to Ling Zhan, "Is this true?"

Ling Zhan nodded and said, "Of course it's true!"

The old man hummed and said, "Then you give me the silver first." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Ling Zhan couldn't help but feel amused.

He put the silver in the old man's hand, and the old man put the silver in his mouth and took two bites, and then said with satisfaction: "The taste of this silver is really good!"

Ling Zhan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Does silver still smell?

The old man said casually: "Sweet!"

Ling Zhan shook his head, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, he didn't expect this old man to be a money fan!

The old man found a raised stone and said to Ling Zhan, "Let's go to that place and sit down! ”

After the two of them sat down, the old man took out a small jar of soju from the back basket behind him, and said to Ling Zhan: "This soju is brewed by our own family, drink two sips, the cold on this mountain is heavy, drive away the cold!"

Ling Zhan took the flask, took a sip, and suddenly felt the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks, and a thick mellow fragrance filled his entire mouth, making him feel very comfortable!

Ling Zhan praised: "Good wine!"

The old man smiled and said, "What a good wine, it's all made at home! After speaking, he took a sip of wine himself, and then slowly said the information of the evil land!

This old man did lie to Ling Zhan, because he had entered that evil land and experienced the horror of that evil land, so he tried his best to dissuade Ling Zhan from entering Jiming Mountain!

This old man had six brothers, and they were brothers. They have lived in the vicinity of this Jiming Mountain for generations, and they also make a living by picking herbs!

But year after year, life became more and more difficult.

In the face of the hardships of life, the six brothers were also extremely depressed! Now the eldest is almost in his thirties, but he has not even married an aunt. Although the eldest didn't say anything, as a younger brother, several brothers were anxious about the boss, and if this continued, no one would marry their daughter to the boss.

It's a pity that their six brothers even have problems with their lives at this time, so how can they have the money to marry their mother-in-law?

Finally one day, the second child went to the depths of Jiming Mountain to pick some herbs! Since ancient times, there are many very precious herbs on Jiming Mountain, but most of them grow in the depths of Jiming Mountain.

If they were able to pick some precious herbs from the depths of Jiming Mountain, they would be able to make up the money for the eldest to marry their daughters-in-law! At the same time, the lives of their brothers would also be greatly improved.

There is no way, the six brothers are really poor and afraid, and the taste of having no money is too uncomfortable.

Although the six of them all knew that the depths of Jiming Mountain were a very terrifying place, many people walked into that place, but they never came out again.

But the hardships of life really torture them!

So, the six brothers decided that for the sake of their future lives, they would take a risk, and the so-called wealth and wealth would be in danger, and they must go to the depths of Jiming Mountain to pick up medicine!

At this time, they had already forgotten the danger in the depths of Jiming Mountain.

When the six brothers were ready, they went directly into the depths of Jiming Mountain!

Not long after they entered the depths of Jiming Mountain, they were pleasantly surprised to find a lot of precious herbs!

This discovery made the six brothers extremely excited. In their eyes, these herbs are silver for white flowers!

So they couldn't resist the temptation, so they buried themselves in collecting medicine, and they didn't notice the changes around them at all, and gradually, they also unknowingly entered the depths of Jiming Mountain.

After they filled the medicine basket behind them, the brothers stood up contentedly!

However, when they saw the scene around them, they stood there in horror, unable to speak!

At this time, the brothers' faces became extremely pale, and they trembled all over, and they could hardly believe what they saw!

Speaking of this, Ling Zhan found that the old man's body was trembling a little, and there was still a trace of fear in his eyes, it seemed that the experience of that evil land had scared the old man a lot.
