Chapter 90: The Medicine Picker
"Whew-"
A gentle breeze blew, but it could not disperse the thick fog.
Eight hundred miles of lost land, there is no way to get in. It's been almost two days since I struck the boulder and ended up trapped in this maze of things......
"Hah...... ......"I sat casually on the ground, leaning against the stone wall behind me, panting slightly.
Yesterday, I was trapped in this lost place, until today, it should be evening now, so calculated, it's been a day and a half, I still haven't found the exit, and the fog has not dispersed, I can't even see the sky, if it weren't for the phone in my body, I can see the time, I guess I have lost time.
This maze is, to put it simply, a large labyrinth, made up of countless stone walls, with no end in sight, and even with my Heavenly Strategy, I can't figure out where the exit is.
The longer I stayed, the more frightened I became, because for some reason, there was a power here that made it impossible to recover my mana, and at first I used the Heavenly Technique to find the exit, but I didn't get anything, but wasted my mana. Later, I planned to fly, but the surrounding dense fog could not be dispersed at all, and as soon as I flew, I entered the dense fog, and I didn't even know if I was flying in a straight line, and then I was worried that my mana would run out, so I could only fall down again.
I've been trapped here for a day and a half, and I'm not so hungry easily, but it's a problem to drink! Eight hundred miles away, it's all land, stone walls, and I can't even see a single weed, where does the water come from?!
I sat on the floor, my eyes straight, my lips chapped, my mouth so dry that I didn't feel anything, I was numb, let alone speak, and I could only let out some simple instinctual roars from my throat.
When I looked up at the sky, I could only see the thick fog, let alone the sky, the sun and the moon, or the stars. Such a scene is really like a graveyard.
"Could it be...... I'm going to die here?" I couldn't make a sound, I could only sigh in my heart. I've tried to contact Baron since yesterday, but for some reason, it's like there's no signal, I can't reach him at all, and I can't even call for help.
So, do I really want to die silently in this kind of barren place, in a place where no one knows, no one knows?
My parents, as well as Hu Jie, Erhuo, Da Chengzi, Zeng Xiujie, and Baron, Yun'er girl, Gong Xiaoting, Feng Qian, and Master, Senior Brother Liu Tong, Senior Brother Luo Tian, He Laosan, Yinsi, and my sister......
So many people, they didn't know I was here, and they ......
"It's a pity, I have a heavy responsibility, I actually died here, and I still want to build the Tongzhou Society, for the peace of the world, heh! Hehe! Ridiculous! Ridiculous! I can't even save my own life, how can I talk about the world?!"
I couldn't speak, I only thought in my heart, but I didn't expect that at this moment, a voice responded to me: "The world is peaceful? ”
"yes......"
I heard someone respond, and I was still talking in my heart for the reaction, and suddenly, a stir reacted!
I just kept looking up at the sky, at this time, I was excited, subconsciously looking ahead, but found that it was right in front of me, I don't know when, came an old man in white, long shirt mopping the floor, gray beard, holding a deer's head cane, the other hand lightly stroked the long beard, is looking at me with a smile.
"Who are you?" I subconsciously wanted to speak, but I forgot that my mouth was dry and I couldn't make a sound, so I let out a few low roars.
But the old man still knew what I was talking about, smiled, and said, "You don't need to ask my name, if you do, just if I am a medicine picker in a mountain forest, ah, you should need this very much." ”
As he spoke, he took a gourd out of his coat pocket and threw it in front of me.
As soon as I saw the gourd, my eyes immediately widened, as if someone was grabbing, and I grabbed the gourd in my hand with a handful, and hurriedly pulled out the lid of the gourd, and slammed it directly into my mouth.
By the time I felt a clear stream in my mouth, I didn't know how much I had drunk, and my stomach was already slightly bloated. At first, my mouth was numb and I couldn't feel the water running through it, and it wasn't until this time that I recovered.
"Ha--thank you, Mr. Xie for saving your life!" I said after I finished pouring water, took a few deep breaths, and thanked the old man.
I thanked him, and subconsciously wanted to make a fist posture with both hands, and was holding a gourd in his right hand.
"Huh?"
I looked at the gourd in my hand, and it shook slightly, and there was no sound of water in it, but I knew that the water in it was not exhausted. Hurry up and take another look at the mouth of the gourd, and sure enough, there is a faint look of water inside.
But...... I looked at the size of the gourd again, and the gourd ...... Is it filled with too much water? The size of this gourd can hold a liter, but I just drank more than one liter, how can it be......
The old gentleman should have seen my question, laughed and said: "Hahahaha, this gourd is a treasure, called the Xuantian gourd, although it cannot contain all things, but there is an inexhaustible supply of water in it, even if there are millions of people, it can be used." ”
"Oh, such a treasure?"
"Haha, exactly! Come, I'll take you out of this maze. The old man said with a smile and held out his hand.
As soon as I heard this, I was overjoyed, and subconsciously grabbed the old man's hand, and felt a strong force coming, directly pulling my two hundred catties of meat from the ground, as simple as lifting a piece of grass.
This old man ...... Definitely not the average person!
I secretly thought in my heart, held the Xuantian gourd with both hands, and said, "Old man, your gourd." ”
"Aha, okay. The old gentleman smiled, reached out and took the gourd, and put it back in his pocket.
Although the gourd has an inexhaustible supply of water in it, it is weightless, no different from an ordinary empty water bottle, and any person can hold it, let alone such an old gentleman with divine power?
"Hahahaha, this lost place, once people enter, they will definitely be lost, and they can't come out, but it is the barrier set up by the snake pan town, in order to prevent some people with evil thoughts from entering the snake pan town, and once they enter this array, and find that they have no evil thoughts, they will let me take people out, haha, it's a bitter guest. ”
"Where did the old gentleman come from, Shepan Town is so defensive, it should be, and you are my savior, so there is no need to say these words. ”
"Ahaha, good, good!"
I followed the old man and walked around in this lost place, and after only five minutes of turning, I saw that the fog had faded slightly, and there seemed to be a sudden clarity ahead.
"Haha, there's an exit over there. The old gentleman said with a smile.
"Really?!"
I was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened my pace, and the old gentleman also smiled and walked with me, through the dense fog in front of me, and the light suddenly shone in front of me, and when I looked carefully, it was a lively market, which was Shepan Town!
"It's out! It's finally out!" I looked at the scene in front of me, and I was overwhelmed with excitement, and I stomped my feet again and again with joy, and shouted incessantly. When I looked back, I wanted to look for the old gentleman, but I found that the old gentleman had disappeared without a trace.
"Old gentleman?!"
I looked around, and there was no trace of the old man, so I could only sigh and say, "The old man saved my life, and now he is so godlike that he can't see the end, he is a real god!"
After saying that, I looked in the direction where I came, and there was no longer any place where I could see the place of the Lost Land, but it was clear, and there was a thick fog.
I bowed three times in that direction and said: "The old gentleman saved my life, I have nothing to repay, if I can come to my Tongzhou Club in the future, there will be an elder hall in my society, and then the old gentleman will be the chief elder of my society!"
After saying that, I looked into the distance and bowed deeply.
When I looked up again, I found that there was already a person standing next to me, who was not very old, and looked like he was no more than a child.
"Sir, my master would like you to come over to the house. The boy said.
"Who is your master?" I asked, frowning. I don't know anyone here, and I'm new, so how can anyone know me?
"The master won't let me say, but the gentleman will come with me to find out. The boy said, stretching out his hand in one direction and making a "please" gesture.
The corners of my eyes twitched slightly, and I thought about it for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement, and followed the boy over there.
If there is really someone who can attach so much importance to me when I first came, then he must be a high-ranking person, such a person cannot refute his face, if I am invited not to go, but it will anger him, but I will find trouble for myself.
So I followed the boy through the market until I came to the gate of a compound. The white wall and blue tiles, the brick red gate, a plaque is hung on it, and the blue bottom is not a word!
"Wordless plaque?" I looked at the plaque and frowned, but I didn't know what it meant, and then the boy had knocked on the door, and there were two more children standing on either side, looking respectful.
"Sir, please!" the boy stood by the door, and made another "please" gesture.
At this time, I didn't have the heart to wonder why there was not a word on the plaque, so I followed the little boy into the courtyard, through the courtyard, up to a building, to the top floor, surrounded by a railing only half a person high, a small table in the middle, two chairs, and an incense burner on the side, burning wisps of cigarettes.
"Sir, please be seated, and my master will come later. After the boy finished speaking, he went downstairs, presumably to invite his master.
I sat in my chair for a while, bored, and then got up and walked over to the railing and looked around.
The owner here is really interested, and he actually planted peach blossoms in the courtyard, but for some reason, the peach blossoms should have bloomed in March, but now in December, they are already in full bloom. It should have been done with a spell, but the temperature hasn't changed, so it may only be for the peach tree.
While I was enjoying the view, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind me. I looked back, and the little boy walked up first, stood aside, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Sir, my master has arrived." ”
"Oh?" I looked again, and at the top of the staircase, another person came up, and two servant maids behind me slowly walked up.
"Mr. came, but he didn't expect to suffer many times in the Lost Land, it was really a loss of hospitality, and in Xia Taolin, he made amends to Mr. ”
