The Ling family's Medicine Mountain extends from a branch of the Extreme Cold Mountain Range, and belongs to the outermost area of the Extreme Cold Mountain Range.

Compared to the towering icy mountains of the Extreme Cold Mountain Range, the Medicine Mountain is very inconspicuous, and the aura is not very strong.

Lingjia Town is on the edge of the Extremely Cold Mountain Range, at the foot of the Medicine Mountain.

Although the aura of the medicine mountain is not outstanding, because it is far enough away from the extremely cold mountain range, the mountain is not too cold, so it is suitable for the cultivation of spirit grass.

The spiritual grass on the medicine mountain is the main source of income for the Ling family, and most of the offerings paid by the Ling family to the Xingyun Pavilion every year are mainly based on the spiritual grass of the medicine mountain, and the planting and picking of the spiritual grass on the medicine mountain in recent years are all in charge of Ling Chengzhi.

On the medicine mountain, a piece of medicine garden is like a tofu block, and almost all the elixirs and spiritual herbs planted in the medicine garden are below the mortal level, although the value is not high, it is valuable in quantity.

Among them, the Jade Hand Flower, the Hanyun Grass, and the Snake Crown Flower are all mortal-level three-grade spirit grasses, and they are also the spirit grasses that are focused on planting in the medicine garden, and these three spirit grasses are the most basic medicinal materials for refining the Hui Ling Pill, and the Nebula Pavilion has a huge demand every year.

At this moment, the two brothers, Ling Chengye and Ling Chengzhi, were standing in front of a medicine garden of jade hand flowers.

After the jade hand flower is in full bloom, it is like the open palm of a young girl, and the five slender leaves are like five slender fingers, so it is called the jade hand flower, and the jade hand flower is only about half a year from planting to picking, and it is not too affected by weather changes, and it is one of the easiest spiritual grasses to plant.

However, now in this jade hand anther garden, the jade hand flowers have not had time to bloom, and they are withering one by one, which makes Ling Chengye's face extremely ugly.

"Is it just the Jade Hand Flower like this?" Ling Chengye asked hopefully.

Ling Chengzhi smiled bitterly, "The jade hand flower is still a haode, and the medicine garden of the Hanyun grass and the snake crown flower is even more unsightly, and the death is even more severe." This year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get together the herbs paid to the Nebula Pavilion......"

Ling Chengye's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on?weishenme didn't tell me earlier?!"

"I don't know how. Ling Chengzhi's face was full of bitterness, and he was also puzzled in his heart, "Since Qin Shan's death two years ago, the herb harvest in the medicine garden has been reduced season by season, and the reduction is still acceptable, and it is no problem to supply Xingyun Pavilion, and I blame me, because I was busy impacting the realm, I didn't pay attention to this matter." ”

"By the time I realized that something was wrong, I thought I could still control it, and I spent a lot of effort on the cultivation and conditioning of the elixir, hoping to turn the situation around. However, what I didn't expect was that since three months ago, the herbs have gradually withered, and before I can react, the herbs in the herb garden have withered in large areas......"

Ling Chengzhi hung his head in frustration, looking like he was beating and scolding, but he didn't dare to shirk his responsibility.

Ling Chengye grimaced, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "What does the decay of the medicinal herbs in the medicine garden have to do with Qin Lie? He has been in the mine cave in the belly of the medicine mountain all the year round, he should have never been to the medicine garden, can he affect those medicinal herbs? Third child, why do you think Qin Lie will be suspicious?"

In his opinion, Qin Lie was just a fool, living a soulless life, and it was impossible for him to have an impact on Yaoshan at all.

"Since his grandfather and grandson entered the Yaoshan Mine five years ago, I have been secretly observing, in the past five years, there have been very few changes in Yaoshan, but there is a phenomenon that is very strange......" Ling Chengzhi frowned, and said while thinking about it.

"What phenomenon makes you feel weird?" Ling Chengye was stunned.

"It's that every time there is thunder and rain, the thunder and lightning in the sky of Yaoshan will be very dense, and every time there is a thunder and lightning on the top of Yaoshan, sometimes those thunders and lightning fall, I look at it and am frightened. However, before their grandchildren came, no matter how bad the weather was, there would not be so many thunderbolts gathering over Yaoshan Mountain, and there would be no thunder and lightning directly chopping down!" Ling Chengzhi affirmed.

"This thunderbolt...... What does it have to do with their grandchildren?" Ling Chengye shook his head, feeling that his younger brother's speculation was not much grounded.

"Big brother, you listen to me. Ling Chengzhi's expression gradually became serious, "This phenomenon has become more obvious after Qin Shan's death! In the past two years, whenever there is thunder and rain, the thunder and lightning on the medicine mountain have gathered more, and the number of times it has been split on the medicine mountain has become more and more frequent! Sometimes, I can faintly feel those powerful thunderbolts, as if they are disappearing into the belly of the mountain along the rocks of the mountain......

Hearing this, Ling Chengye finally faced it squarely and said solemnly: "Go on!"

"I've been stationed in the Medicine Mountain all these years, and after every thunderbolt, I secretly pay attention to the caves in the mine, and a few times when I saw Qin Lie walking out of the cave, his hair and skin were a little scorched, I dare to be 100% sure, it was definitely caused by lightning strikes!" Ling Chengzhi snorted lightly, "In connection with the abnormality of the Medicine Mountain over the years, I have reason to suspect that this matter is related to Qin Lie! Big brother, the medicinal herbs will not wither for no reason, I believe that there must be some strange changes within the Medicine Mountain, which led to the withering of the medicinal herbs!"

Ling Chengye frowned deeply, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "I promised Qin Shan that I would not enter the mine for no reason. ”

"Big brother, if this matter is really related to Qin Lie, if you don't figure it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to remedy the herbs in those medicine gardens. The medicine mountain is related to the development of our Ling family, if it really goes on like this, if our Ling family can't get together the spirit grass that we have paid, the Nebula Pavilion will ......" Ling Chengzhi said worriedly.

Ling Chengye was silent for a while, half a sound, he took a deep breath, took out a pale demon mask and put it on silently, changed into a white robe, and said in a deep voice: "I will quietly go to the mine to investigate, this matter is strictly forbidden to mention to anyone!"

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm measured. ”

......

Ling Chengye was like a white ghost, cautiously falling from a remote corner of the medicine mountain to the mountainside where there was a cave, stepping on the protruding stones, grasping the falling vines with his hands, his figure was like a falling willow leaf silently, and soon came to the mouth of one of the caves.

Now that he had made up his mind, Ling Chengye did not hesitate at all, he directly broke into the entrance of the cave and quickly swept into the depths.

On the back of the medicine mountain, there are many caves of different sizes, all of which were mined by the Ling family from different angles and different directions, and the tunnels of the caves are still interconnected, as long as you enter one of the caves, it is easy to find the direction of going deep into the belly of the mountain.

However, not long after Ling Chengye entered the cave, he suddenly shook all over his body and gradually froze there.

In his memory, there were at most twenty tunnels in the mine inside the medicine mountain, and although he hadn't been here for some years, his memory of the mine was still very clear.

Because when he was young, he was also one of the cave diggers, and he was extremely familiar with this place.

But now, he had the illusion of going to the wrong place, because the mine tunnel inside the mountainside had suddenly increased tenfold!

Looking at the intricate and cumbersome corridors in front of him, which intersected like spider webs, Ling Chengye was shocked and lost the slightest sense of familiarity.

"Oh my God, how did they do it?" Ling Chengye gasped.

He still remembered that it took dozens of people from the Ling family three years together, but it was only a dozen stone paths leading to the interior of the mountain.

And this grandfather and grandson, in five years, actually reopened hundreds of stone paths, which made Ling Chengye unable to believe his eyes.

Hundreds of stone paths, intertwined with the original stone paths, are as complex as a labyrinth and as strange as human veins.

Ling Chengye forcibly calmed down and shuttled through hundreds of stone tunnels and caves, trying to enter the deepest part of the mountain belly and find Qin Lie's figure.

Half an hour later, the head of the Ling family gradually became confused, and appeared directly at the entrance of the cave where he had just entered.

When he woke up, his face became extremely bad, and he went deep into the mines again and searched for them again......

Seven times in a row, as a result, he returned to the original cave entrance again and again, Ling Chengye gradually felt that his energy was low, his face was also a little pale, and after looking at the sky, he was a little embarrassed and returned to Yaoshan Mountain according to the same way.

"Big brother, your face is very bad, what's the matter, what did you find inside?" Ling Chengzhi asked nervously after he took off his mask.

Waving his hand, the head of the Ling family signaled him not to ask more questions for the time being, sat down without saying a word, and immediately took a pill of Huiling Pill with some pain, and exercised his pranayama.

Ling Chengzhi wanted to speak and stopped, looking at him blankly, his stomach full of astonishment.

The sky gradually darkened, and after a period of recovery, the momentum of the Ling family master recovered slightly, and when he opened his eyes, before Ling Chengzhi asked, he shouted softly: "Don't ask yet! Now Qin Lie should be going out of the cave and return to Lingjia Town, I will attack him on the way back to see what is going on with him!"

After saying that, without waiting for Ling Chengzhi to say more, the head of the Ling family took the area of the white demon again, and dived towards the mountain road of Yaoshan and Lingjia Town with solemn eyes.
