I haven't been out of the city for a long time, and the moment I walked out of the city gate, Dugu Zhishui suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The hustle and bustle of the city gradually faded away, and only a patch of green remained, and the wilderness was much purer than the disturbances in the city.

Dugu Zhishui was not in a hurry, he needed to find a lot of medicinal materials, many of which were relatively common, and he didn't need to go to the depths of the mountains to find them. So as soon as he left Anping, he plunged into the forest with a basket on his back, carefully observing the surrounding plants as he walked. He had barely walked a few steps before he found a honeysuckle. Dugu Zhishui was suddenly overjoyed, this was the first time he came out to collect medicine seriously, although he had also picked some spiritual grass and other things when he was a hunter before, but it was all for exchange for money, and he was still a fake doctor at that time.

"It doesn't seem like he's a real doctor now......" Dugu Zhishui was suddenly stunned, and his face became a little strange.

Collecting medicine is a very memorable thing. Recognizing medicine is like literacy, Dugu Zhishui can only search in the forest by impression, and when you see a plant, you automatically search for information in your mind, if you find it, it is a medicine, if you can't find it, it's not necessarily not medicine, but you can't remember it. Practice makes perfect, and the more times you pick it, the more you recognize the medicine, it will become an instinct like reading it, and it is obvious that Dugu Zhishui has not reached that level.

Dugu Zhishui walked in the forest and soon found more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials. There are only dozens of herbs commonly used by doctors, but there are more than 100 kinds of herbs in the "Hundred Herbs", and it is not easy to find them all. Some herbs grow in sunny places and run to sparse open fields when the water stops, some herbs prefer dark and damp environments, so he burrows deep into the dense forests where there is nowhere to put their feet, some herbs grow in places with abundant water and heat, he goes to the valleys to find streams, and some herbs grow in the crevices of the rocks, and he runs to the cliffs......

Although there are relatively few demon beasts in the mountains near Anping City, there are still a lot of wild beasts, and it is easy for ordinary people to have accidents in the mountains. The medical halls and pharmacies in the city regularly organize people to go into the mountains to collect medicines, and pay some people who know kung fu to be guards. Every time Dugu Zhishui encounters a team that goes into the mountains to collect medicines, he will take the initiative to go up to say hello and take the opportunity to ask the people who collect medicine where to find certain medicinal materials.

Regarding the distribution of herbs in the mountains, the herb pickers in the herb collection team have long been very clear, and when Dugu Zhishui asks them, they will be very enthusiastic to show him the way. Of course, Dugu Zhishui did not ask for some more valuable medicinal materials without being bored. After coming and going, Dugu Zhishui benefited a lot. A medicine collection team saw that Dugu Zhishui came out to collect medicine by himself, and invited him to join the team, but Dugu Zhishui asked them about the medicine they wanted to collect, and found that they had found it, so they declined their kindness.

Dugu Zhishui shuttled around in the mountains, and at first he could meet a lot of teams who came out of Anping to collect medicine, but as he walked deeper and deeper, he gradually lost sight of people. He roughly calculated that he should be dozens of miles away from Anping City in a straight line, if it is calculated according to the mountain road, then I don't know how far it is. He had been in this deep mountain for eight days and had found more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs, but there were still dozens to be found.

Just when Dugu Zhishui felt a little headache, he suddenly heard several tiger roars in the distance, and in addition, there were people's screams and footsteps. "Anyone?" Dugu Zhishui was a little surprised. Sensing that someone seemed to be running away, he quickly let go of his hands and feet and rushed in the direction from which the sound came.

I saw a piece of ground explode, and among the dirt, a black shadow jumped on the branch and disappeared. In a few breaths, Dugu Zhishui had already walked a hundred feet, and the rugged mountain road was like walking on the ground under his feet.

In the middle of the forest, a tiger five feet tall was charging forward with powerful limbs, and in front of him, a young man in a sackcloth leotard was running desperately. Although the tiger is huge, it is extremely agile in this mountain forest, and it is about to catch up with the young man in front of it. A tiger's claw has been waved, and if it hits, a good meal will be settled. But the young man stumbled to the ground, just in time to avoid the fatal claw.

The moment the young man fell, his body instinctively rolled to the side, Rao was like this, his left arm happened to be stepped on by the tiger palm of the big fan, and he suddenly let out a miserable scream. The tiger stopped abruptly and was about to turn around, when a whistling sound, followed by a muffled thud, and the huge tiger flew to the side, crashing into a thick forest surrounded by one person. If you look closely, there is a large crack in the tree from the bottom to the top. The huge tiger body slapped on the ground, causing the ground to tremble. The tiger's spine had been deformed, and it tried to get up unsuccessfully, and it was bleeding from its mouth and nose, and it seemed that it would not survive. Dugu Zhishui didn't pay attention to the screaming young man on the ground, he instantly appeared in front of the tiger, and slapped his palm on the tiger Tianling cover, ending its pain.

Looking back at the young man, Dugu Zhishui found that his left forearm was blurred with flesh and blood, and he was completely unable to lift it, and it looked like the bone should be broken. But fortunately, the soil in the mountains was soft, and the bones were not broken, otherwise even if they were cured, they would have fallen into some problems. Dugu Zhishui used four wooden sticks as support, and took out some herbs from the back basket and mashed them on the young man's wound, and bandaged him briefly. The young man endured the severe pain, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead, but he did not let out any more screams.

Bandaging his arm, the young man struggled to get up with his right hand on the ground, he looked at the tiger that had lost its vitality, looked at the hideous crack in the woods, and his heart was indescribably shocked. "You...... Are you a cultivator?" the young man lowered his head and stood stiffly, his voice trembling a little, this was the first time he had seen a cultivator make a move. The cultivators he had seen in the past had never looked directly at them ordinary people. Although he had never seen a cultivator make a move before, he had heard from the people in the village that no cultivator could be provoked, otherwise they would be able to wipe out the family with the help of their fingers.

"Sort of. Dugu Zhishui said casually, "This tiger is not an ordinary beast, it should have just groped for the threshold of cultivation, and it can barely be regarded as a demon beast." Speaking of this, he looked at the young man with strange eyes, "Who are you? This deep mountain is rampant with wild beasts, and if you are unlucky, you will encounter demon beasts, what are you doing in this kind of place alone?"

The young man's face darkened, he fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a low voice: "Back to my lord, I ...... My name is Chen Hu, everyone calls me Erhuzi, I am a villager of Chenjia Village, I ...... My dad is sick, the doctor said...... Said there was no help. Chen Hu suddenly choked up, "I heard that there is a spiritual grass in the deep mountains that can cure all diseases, so I wanted to come and find it, but I didn't expect to meet that tiger." If it hadn't been for an adult to save me, I would have died. He suddenly propped himself on the ground with one hand and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you for saving your life." I can't repay it, if the adults have a place to use me, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I am not afraid. ”

"Alright, get up, you don't have to be so afraid of me. Dugu Zhishui was a little helpless, "I'm also half a doctor, you tell me about your father's situation in detail, maybe I can help some." ”

Chen Hu raised his head, his gray eyes lit up instantly, he quickly got up, and described eagerly: "Just five days ago, my father suddenly fainted, and then began to have a high fever, diarrhea and vomiting, and he was unconscious for only one day. I went to the city and asked a few doctors to see them, and they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they only prescribed some medicine to relieve the cold. My mother poured two bowls for my father, but his health did not get better at all, and he was about to die. An old man in the village told me that there is a spiritual grass called dragon's blood grass in the deep mountains, which can cure all kinds of diseases, so I wanted to try my luck. ”

Listening to Chen Hu's narration, Dugu Zhishui chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Does your father keep pulling water?" ”

"Yes, it's all water that comes out. ”

"How long have you been out?"

"It's been three days, and I don't know what happened to my father, I haven't found dragon's blood grass for three days. Chen Hu couldn't stop crying again, "Dad, my son is not filial, and I haven't found medicine for you until now." ”

"Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" Dugu Zhishui stared at Chen Hu with blazing eyes.

"Yes. Chen Hu nodded.

The corners of Dugu Zhishui's eyes jumped, and he took a step back, "What's the uncomfortable method? You also have a stomachache?"

"I didn't ...... No. Chen Hu was a little scared by Dugu Zhishui, "Just ...... It's just that my arm hurts. ”

Dugu Zhishui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is your village?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain outside Anping City, not far from Anping. ”

"I'm just looking for Dragon's Blood Grass too, you can follow me first. Dugu Zhishui said.

"Thank you for your great kindness. Chen Hu was excited.

Regarding Chen Hu's father's illness, Dugu Zhishui had some guesses in his heart, but if that guess was true, his father was probably no longer alive. Not only that, but the people in his village ...... Dugu Zhishui sighed lightly in his heart, "At least he looks normal now, and I haven't heard him say that there are other people in the village who have similar diseases, otherwise I might have to run away", Dugu Zhishui thought to himself.

Although cultivators are like immortals in the eyes of ordinary people, in fact, even Martial Saints and even Martial Emperors are still mortals, and they still can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and the only ones who can really live forever are probably the legendary immortal gods. Therefore, monks can get sick just like ordinary people, but the monks have abundant spiritual energy in their bodies, and their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people's, so they are not so susceptible to diseases.

Dragon's Blood Grass is a kind of spiritual grass that contains pure yang spiritual power, which can be taken by ordinary people to relax their muscles and invigorate their blood and strengthen their bodies. In this sense, dracaena can indeed be considered a panacea and can be used as an adjunct for various diseases. It's just that dragon's blood grass is strong, and taking too much dose can easily cause the body's yang to win over yin, which will bring great harm to the human body. Legend has it that Dragon's Blood Grass is a common weed that has been dyed with dragon blood, and contains extremely thin dragon elements. There are alchemists who use dragon's blood grass as the main material to refine dragon bone pills, which are said to strengthen the bones of warriors, making them harder than steel. Dragon's blood grass grows in harsh conditions and is quite difficult to find, which also makes it expensive, so it is not among the commonly used medicines by doctors.
