025, medicine collection (below)
The name of this place is Pengshan, it is a very large mountain field in the west of the national capital, the peaks and peaks are undulating, and the remaining veins of the mountain are connected with the Zhangren Mountain in the north of the national capital and the Meishan Mountain in the south of the national capital. Although they are not as mysterious and ethereal as the legendary Bayuan Nine Hills, they are equivalent to "fairy mountains" in the minds of ordinary people, and it is said that there are immortals living in the mountains since ancient times.
It is not clear whether there are immortals or not, but there are indeed many monks in the mountains, and there are also cultivation inheritance sects established by monks. Most of these sects only appeared after the founding of the country 500 years ago, but there are also some sects with more ancient origins.
Of course, the major sects of the Bayuan sect of honor first recommend Chiwangqiu, Mengyingqiu and Wufuqiu, and there are many other large and small sects, all over Bayuan, because you can see monks almost everywhere you go, but the number of people is more or less, and the cultivation is low or high. Many of them are actually not inheritance sects in the strict sense, and they don't even have a complete cultivation inheritance system.
Some people have a good cultivation, find a beautiful and quiet place in the mountains to open a cave to cultivate, and when they have leisure, they find a few disciples and teach them to practice the secret methods they have learned or understood, and build a courtyard and a few houses in the mountains, but ordinary people will also feel that they are very mysterious.
Some of such dojos may gradually disappear over the years, just like those demon clans that have appeared in the deep mountains, because the original monks are no longer there, while some may gradually find themselves stronger, and even appear monks above the six realms or even more superb, groping their own path on the path to the sky, leaving behind a complete cultivation system and corresponding unique secret magic powers, thus forming a sect inheritance.
Sometimes, even though the patriarch is no longer there, the descendants still gather together to cultivate, and some people are in charge of various daily affairs, forming a sect. There are also some like-minded casual cultivators, who exchange with each other to confirm what they have cultivated, find and guide the successors together, and get together to practice and live. Over time, a sect will also be formed in a sense.
Such a sect may not be in the mountains, but may also appear in villages and cities, but the habits of the monks or the needs of cultivation often build a cultivation dojo in the quiet places of the mountains and wilderness, and sometimes it may be just a small area, a few monks, but for ordinary people, there is no way out.
In the mountains and wilderness around the capital of the country, such sects are the most distributed, and if you count them regardless of size, there are at least dozens of them, and many of the monks who were born in them also serve in the country. or have the status of a co-worker or even a national worker. These monks also often gather together on weekdays to exchange ideas, confirm their cultivation experience, and exchange what they need, forming a unique circle.
And in the depths of this Peng Mountain, there is a valley full of vitality and aura, and on its sunny slope grows a rare elixir in the world - nine dragon blood treasure trees.
This dragon blood treasure tree was planted by the founding king of Pakistan five hundred years ago, and was carefully cultivated, and there were originally thirteen of them. The blood lipids produced by it have also become a treasure of the Ba clan, and are often used to give to the monks of various sects in the country. The country of Ba was established by the descendants of a clan affiliated with Emperor Taihao, and its patriarch was also the founding king. At that time, there were also six realms of cultivation and cultivation of the essence of the masterpiece.
Three hundred years after the civil strife in Bayuan, this dragon blood treasure tree once became an ownerless thing, and was fought over by various sects in the vicinity, and some sects even tried to establish a dojo in this valley. But it doesn't take up much time. The Dragon's Blood Treasure Tree has changed hands many times, and the body of the tree has been cut and scarred by the elixir forcibly obtained by the monks of various factions.
Fortunately, this chaotic history is not long, and the vast majority of monks also know that the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree is rare, difficult to cultivate, and even more difficult to transplant elsewhere. Despite taking the elixir, they also paid attention to its foundation and vitality, in fact, there were many sects that participated in the competition in the name of protecting it, so in the end, there were still nine plants left here.
Later, the country of Bamuro was re-established. The nine dragon blood treasure trees were recovered, and the valley was also designated as a forbidden place in the country. Of course, the various sects in the vicinity are not easy to oppose, those dragon blood treasure trees are originally heirlooms, because they have lost a few trees in the competition over the years, and it is said that this decision has also been supported by Meng Yingqiu.
Garrisoned in this forbidden place are not only the military array of the Bamuro Kingdom, but also the monks of various sects who participated in the contention for this place a hundred years ago, and the monarch's arrangement can be said to have far-reaching intentions. The monks of various sects are also willing to accept the conscription and garrison here, firstly, because this place is full of vitality and spiritual energy, which is suitable for cultivation, secondly, it is also convenient for communicating with the monks of other sects, and thirdly, they may also receive Nagarjuna's blood lipids as a reward.
On the other hand, the guardian of the forbidden land here is not only a guardian of a few trees, but also a powerful mobile military force lurking outside the capital when there is a war and the capital is threatened. But so far, no one has realized this.
Except for those officially recruited and appointed by the authorities, no one, even monks of all factions, were allowed to trespass into this forbidden place. Ordinary people can't come to this place, but when the young monks of various sects travel in the mountains to collect medicines, they often come to the vicinity, and stop and watch on the high cliff opposite the high slope where the dragon blood treasure tree grows, and on the distant cliff outside the forbidden land.
Some people want to open their eyes and want to see what the dragon blood treasure tree and the place where the treasure tree grows are really like? And this place is full of vitality and aura, and there is the breath of the treasure tree's elixir in the wind, and cultivating here may help to cultivate and comprehend the mysteries. Over time, this high cliff has become a scenic spot in the depths of Pengshan, and it is often possible to see people sitting here to practice or contemplating into the distance.
But today, there are so many people gathered here at the same time, which is obviously very unusual, almost all of them went into the mountains to look for elixirs, and they came here to see the scenery, and some people made an appointment to meet and meet here, because a major event has recently happened in Bamuro Kunitaka.
Two months ago, news spread that the monarch was in poor health and sent people to seek elixirs from various sects in the country that could replenish vitality. Although the envoys of all walks of life spoke lightly, as if there was no major matter, what kind of illness did the monarch have, and he actually needed such an elixir? Moreover, was there no elixir for prebiotics in the palace, and it had reached the point of asking for help from various sects, which showed that what the monarch needed was by no means an ordinary elixir, and it seemed that the situation was already very strict.
Such news was also a secret in the country, and the common people did not know about it, but it quickly spread among the monks of various sects. Hou Liao has been in power for more than 40 years, and has won the support of all the people in the country. Just half a year ago, he was still in good spirits and inspected the borders of the country, receiving cheers and greetings from the people of various cities. How can you say that if you can't do it, you can't do it?
Immediately afterwards, there was news that came out privately, it was said that the monarch actually fell ill three years ago, and he was almost incurable at that time, but fortunately, he waited until the immortal elixir given by Meng Yingqiu to live to this day, and now he finally fell again, and the Lizhu elixir is no longer effective.
This news was soon further confirmed, because the palace issued an order to the monks of all factions in the country and all the co-workers to collect elixirs to replenish vitality, and those with excellent spiritual effects should be offered. Thank you very much. The king's gratitude is nothing more than all kinds of money and treasures, positions in the country, and other elixirs including dragon blood resin.
This has become an open secret among the middle and upper echelons of the kingdom and in the circle of monks, and many people want to offer elixir to the king, some for what they want, some for what they want to advance, and some for the king's true love and want to help, and of course it is good to be rewarded.
However, there are very few such elixirs in the world, and many people do not have them in their hands, so they go to the mountains and wilderness to find them. Pengshan is a place rich in elixirs around the national capital, and there are many sects in the vicinity, so there are many monks who come here. Since everyone has entered the depths of Pengshan. Of course, you will also visit this famous scenic spot, which is why so many people gather here.
Huwa had been practicing in retreat in a secluded place for the past two months, of course, she hadn't heard of the news, and today was the first time she had seen so many monks get together. I heard the talk of the people. It dawned on him.
No wonder Xiao Miao took it for granted that the tiger baby was looking for the same elixir as her. And Xiao Miao and Uncle Dao should go into the mountain to collect medicine either for themselves, or to help the monarch, so they hope that other people can also find elixir to offer.
But the tiger baby looked at the people here, and listened to their introductions and conversations with each other. Most of them are young disciples of various sects and scattered cultivators in the vicinity, and most of them are in the third and fourth realms, and there are even many monks in the second realm. The way they communicate with each other is also interesting. When they meet, they usually report to their sect or where they come from, what kind of secret method they practice, which master they have been instructed in, how many realms they have cultivated, and so on. Some people already knew or heard of the name, and they boasted a few words to each other.
As Uncle Dao said, the elixir that the monarch seeks mainly relies on the collection and storage accumulated by various sects, and it is very unreliable to expect to temporarily find and adopt it in the mountains and wilderness. Of course, the elders of the various sects and the real masters would not act so unreliable, so most of the people who came were some young disciples who were not highly cultivated.
The main purpose of these people is actually to take this opportunity to travel into the mountains to make friends and have a good time, and the second is to collect medicines by the way, including other various medicinal materials, if they can bump into the great luck to collect the elixir needed by the monarch, of course, it is better.
Xiao Miao felt a little relieved to see so many people going into the mountains to collect medicines, but Uncle Dao couldn't help but frown secretly when he saw these guys who went into the mountains to call friends and gather outside the forbidden places in the country to see the scenery in the name of collecting medicines. And Huwa also realized why Uncle Dao and Xiao Miao had a good attitude towards him, because looking at the way he had come all the way, he was indeed really looking for an elixir for the monarch - this was an interesting misunderstanding.
The monks gathered here didn't know Huwa and the others, so someone took the initiative to come over to say hello and talk, and Uncle Dao introduced himself as a casual cultivator who took his juniors into the mountains to collect medicine, and his tone was a little lukewarm. Xiao Miao only called himself Xiao Miao this time, and did not say the name of "Shao Miao", while Huwa called himself Li Lu, and he also went into the mountain with Uncle Dao to cultivate, and did not say anything else.
As for Pan Gu, of course, he can't introduce himself, and no one introduces him. Several people came together, and Uncle Dao also dressed as a hunter, so the monk here regarded Pan Gu as the hunting dog carried by Uncle Dao.
Since he has come here, of course, the tiger baby should also take a good look at the famous landscape, his eyesight has far exceeded ordinary people, and he can see things far away. Across the valley under the high cliff, on the high slope facing the sun in the distance, there are indeed nine dragon blood treasure trees, the thick trunk and countless tiny branches that spread out towards the sky, like a mushroom with a huge handle, it is easy to identify.
There are no buildings around the treasure tree, there are faint people sitting and cultivating under the tree, and there are neat houses built on the flat ground below the hillside, which is enough for more than 100 people to live. In the wide valley full of life, there are also fields cultivated, crops such as grains and vegetables are grown, and in some places there are fences and sheds, and various livestock are fed, making it look like a small village.
Xiao Miao beside him took the initiative to introduce to Huwa that because this forbidden place is located in the deep mountains, it is inconvenient to transport all kinds of offering materials, so the monarch ordered to camp the fields on the spot to meet the daily needs of the military array and the monks of various factions stationed there. Not all grains, fruits and vegetables are grown in the valley, but near the foot of the mountain is a medicinal field, where various elixirs growing in the vicinity are transplanted and cultivated.
Usually, most of the medicinal materials planted artificially cannot catch up with the natural growth in the mountains and wilderness, because the vitality and aura here are particularly vigorous, and there are dragon blood treasure trees growing, and the monks of various sects on duty take care of it, so they have opened up such a medicinal field. However, the cultivation of the elixir in the medicine field is not easy, and it is not all things that nourish the vitality and aura, even if there are some, they are used a lot on weekdays, which cannot meet the needs of the monarch today.
Of course, the tiger baby was more interested in the nine dragon blood treasure trees, feeling that they didn't seem to be tall and strong enough, far less lush and towering than the ones he saw in the Taihao ruins. Huwa has never been to Shude Hill, in fact, the nine dragon blood treasure trees here are already taller and more lush than those on Shude Hill, and the dragon blood treasure tree in Taihao's ruins is worth it by Taihao Heavenly Emperor thousands of years ago, of course, there is no comparison here.
In fact, Huwa heard the story of these dragon blood treasure trees introduced by the mountain god, but he didn't know the exact location before, and now he remembered what the mountain master said. When Ruoshan was young, he left the wilderness and wandered into the plains, and went to a far place, and once saw the dragon blood treasure tree in the deep mountains from a high cliff, but it was a forbidden place guarded by people and was not allowed to approach.
The place that Shan Ye said should be here, when he broke into Ba Yuan, the country of Ba Mu had been established, but there was still war between the five countries. Now that the tiger baby has also left the wilderness and wandered into Bayuan, the war has been over for decades, and he stood on the same high cliff where the mountain master stopped back then, and he couldn't help but feel emotion and imagination.
The tiger baby was sighing, and a man took the initiative to come over and greet him: "Two little friends, I am Ji Ying, a monk from Liangfeng Ding and a personal disciple of Mr. Garden Lantern, and I have been cultivated in the four realms and eight times. This gate once found that there is a golden bell vine that has grown for hundreds of years in the depths of this Peng Mountain, and it has almost become a sperm. This time, the monarch is asking for an elixir, and I am gathering experts to take it. I don't know how the two cultivators are, and if they are interested in joining?...... We only need masters above the four realms. (To be continued......)
