Having experienced the mystery of listening to all things in the rain, Ji Yuan is now very confident in his hearing at the moment, although he was not without distractions just now, but at such a close distance, a person's footsteps will never be missed.

Recalling what Jin Shunfu said just now, Ji Yuan's heart couldn't help but chill.

On a cold night in the barren mountains and mountains, a scholar from an unknown source suddenly appeared, and it was not normal to think about it.

But this scholar's demeanor and movements are in place, coupled with the identity of the scholar and the appearance of being powerless, it seems that he has successfully won the trust of the foot merchants.

To tell the truth, this mountain temple is not the private property of the foot traders, everyone has the right to come in and rest, after all, they are not extremely vicious and unreasonable people, so even if they are wary of scholars, it is impossible to drive people out.

Of course, the foot merchants were not completely unguarded, although they politely beckoned the scholar to sit down, and they also had to ask the scholar about his feet.

"Dare to ask what is the surname of the gentleman, where does he live, and where does he study?"

Zhang Shilin has also read some books, and when he asked the scholar, this sentence seemed to be much more civil, so that the youngest Wang Dong couldn't help but look at him several times.

The scholar didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and bowed his hand to Zhang Shilin.

"Xiaosheng's surname is Lu, a single name is a Xingzi, he lives in Paimunfang, Shuixian Town, and is a student of Qingsong Academy in Desheng Prefecture, this time he returned to his hometown with his friends from the academy to go up the mountain to ......"

Probably because of Zhang Shilin's way of asking, the scholar regarded him as half a scholar, and changed his self-title from "me" to "Xiaosheng".

The scholar is both a memory and a fear, 1510 tells which friends he went up the mountain with, why he had no intention of getting separated in the mountains, where he lived, which academy he studied, and from time to time he would spit out a sentence of crepe poetry, and the words were all coherent, not like nonsense.

The scholar is not gentle and unpretentious, and his words are polite and decent.

In particular, hearing that the scholar was a student of an orthodox academy made a group of foot merchants awe-inspired, compared with a scholar who studied hard at home alone, the academy students would be much better in terms of status, family and talent, that is, as the saying goes, the gold content is high.

Scholars have always been admired, not to mention being a protégé of Qingsong Academy.

Slowly, even Zhang Shilin let down his guard, not only that, but everyone was also respectful to Lu Shusheng.

And the scholar is not arrogant, he will thank him for receiving water and food, but he will not eat for the time being if he is not hungry.

Ji Yuan's heart has sunk to the bottom, this so-called scholar is too capable of acting, if it weren't for Ji Yuan's already assertion in his heart that this guy is definitely not human, I'm afraid he would have believed him a long time ago.

It's horrible, it's horrible!

If there was a choice now that Ji Yuan could choose to keep crossing or go home immediately, he would not hesitate to choose the latter, but unfortunately he didn't have a choice now.

Now Ji Yuan still has a bit of luck, because this scholar needs to act like this, which means that this thing should not be the master who can kill the Quartet, and the other party doesn't seem to have noticed that there is a beggar lying behind the statue of the mountain god.

Lu Shusheng and the foot merchants were already talking and laughing, and it was rare that a student from a big academy did not have any prejudice against them as a trader, and they naturally chatted very harmoniously.

As if he suddenly thought of something, the scholar patted his head and said mysteriously to Zhang Shilin and the others.

"That's right! Xiao Sheng doesn't have much money on him, so he can't repay the favor of his superiors, but Xiao Sheng saw a good thing on the way to the Mountain Temple, which must bring you some benefits!"

Sure enough, it immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"I wonder what kind of good stuff it is?"

The scholar lowered his voice.

"Vintage mountain king ginseng!"

Ginseng is a precious medicinal material, and the addition of the word "Sanwang" in front of the word ginseng often refers to the best ginseng.

As a perennial foot trader, if you encounter suitable medicinal materials, you will also carefully dig them and take them away, which are all considerable benefits.

As soon as everyone heard the mountain king ginseng, their expressions were a little excited.

Zhang Shilin frowned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Shusheng.

"Lu Gongzi, you are a scholar, and you also know the appearance of Mountain King Ginseng?"

"Hahaha, what Brother Zhang said is very true, although I did see the characteristics of ginseng in the miscellaneous book "Essence of Plants and Trees", I can't identify the mountain king ginseng at a glance, but I can't do it to others!"

Lu Shusheng said this, and looked left and right carefully, and then lowered his voice.

"I'm from Narcissus Town, and I know that occasionally a group of mountain chasers come to the town to sell mountain medicinal materials, and I've talked to them a few times, so I know a little bit of the inside story. ”

"There are nine pieces of ginseng leaves and red seed flowers erected high, the most important thing is ......"

Speaking of which, all the foot traders, including Zhang Shilin, couldn't help but tilt their heads.

"The most important thing is that there are three small red ropes tied to the ginseng stalks, which is the soil method under the clever mountain leader to prevent the mountain king ginseng from escaping!!"

This is a refreshing and exciting sight to many of the traders.

"Yes, I've heard the old man say that the old people will burrow into the earth and escape, and only the best mountain catchers can catch them!"

Kim Soon-bok also recounted what he had heard before.

"It's extreme, it's extreme! What Brother Jin said is true!"

Lu Shusheng patted his palms and nodded in agreement.

"The mountain catcher tied the red rope and did not dig it up, presumably to wait for the mountain king ginseng to get the best heat, but the rank does not need to be so, if you can get this mountain king ginseng, it must also be a lot of income, if it wasn't for the fear in my heart at that time and the fear of digging up the medicinal materials, maybe it has been dug up. ”

"Yes to !!"

"Brother Shiling, let's dig it!!"

"Scholar, where is the Mountain King Ginseng?"

......

The foot merchants were so excited that they couldn't wait to dig up the ginseng.

The wealth is moving, and the drive of interests makes them trust Lu Shusheng's words even more.

The chill in Ji Yuan's heart is getting deeper and deeper, and there is only one thought - to be bad!!

Faced with the eagerness of the foot merchants, the scholar thought for a moment before answering.

"That place is not far from the place where Xiaosheng hid from the rain before, and it doesn't take two sticks of incense to go back and forth, if you really want it, it's best to go with me before dawn. ”

"Why is that? Isn't it too unsafe to get slippery in the dark at the moment?"

Zhang Shilin asked suspiciously.

"Brother Zhang doesn't know, the mountain chasers are all entering the mountain on the eve of dawn, I see that the mountain king ginseng saffron has been erected, in case the mountain chasers come to dig ginseng in this or two days, wouldn't we miss it if we don't go tonight?"

"yes!!"

"Makes sense!!"

"Brother Shilin, I'm handy, I'll go!!"

"yes, let's dig it!!"

In these years, raising a family is the biggest thing, and the king of the mountain is born to raise, and it is not that the mountain catchers tie the red rope and say that it must be theirs, as long as they don't bump into it, it's fine.

"You don't have to go all, go to a few nimble hands, and the rest of the people are here to watch things. ”

Zhang Shilin didn't hesitate any longer, and began to find torches, oilcloths and other items from the basket.

"Lao Jin, Xiaodong, Liu Quan and Li Gui, the four of you go with Lu Gongzi, the road in the mountains is slippery, pay attention to ensure Lu Gongzi's safety on the road!!"

"Wrap it up on me!" "Don't worry, Brother Shilin, I won't let Lu Gongzi fall!"

"Tired, tired"

Lu Shusheng thanked him, and on the side of the firelight that no one noticed, the smile opened a pale and strange arc......

Ji Yuan only felt a chill rushing to his scalp, and roared wildly in his heart.

'Don't go!! don't go with him!!
