Volume 1 The Adventures of Teenagers Chapter 12 The Two-Colored Snow Lotus
After the corpse of the disciple of Fengxue Mountain Villa was officially buried, the wind and snow had gradually become heavier again.
After discussing with the "Five Uniques", Shen Qi planned not to wait any longer and went directly up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs.
Since Shen Qi had almost no experience in picking medicinal herbs, everyone planned to start searching according to the records of the "Medicinal Herb Record".
"Snow Mountain Red Ginseng. Xiao Jing carefully looked at the patterns and written records of the "Herb Record", and said in a low voice: "It grows in Shanyin and Shuiyang, and is guarded by a snake. The leaf is worth a thousand gold, and the fruit is worth ten thousand gold......"
Immediately, everyone raised their heads and looked at the snow-capped mountains where the wind and snow were raging.
"This "Herb Record" won't be playing tricks on us, right?" Xiao Jing frowned and said: "'Shanyin, Shuiyang', it stands to reason that it is the north side of the mountain and the south side of the water. Will there be water in this snowy mountain?"
Xu Ji squinted and looked into the distance and said, "Maybe there is." ”
"Could it be a lake?" Luo III guessed, "Or is it a waterlogged crater like the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain?"
Shen Qi listened to the discussion of several people, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Changbai Mountain, is it the mountain of their hometown, what else...... What is the crater?
"Amitabha. The little monk and Ye, who had not spoken, spoke: "Is it possible that there is an underground dark river?"
"Probably not. Xiao Jing said: "Since it is said that 'water yang', then at least there is 'yang'." If the sun and moon are not visible in the underground river, how can the yang energy come from? Therefore, the underground river should be eliminated. ”
"I see. Kazuha nodded.
"I originally wanted to make money easily, but I didn't expect it to be really troublesome!" Xiao Jing touched the hair that hung down, tilted his head and said: "All in all, if there is no problem with the record of this "Herb Record", as long as we find a place related to 'water', we can naturally find Snow Mountain Red Ginseng along the vine." ”
Everyone nodded.
"Where do you start?" Luo III asked, "The mountains of the Northern Regions are endless, and I am afraid that one 'water' alone will ......."
"Let's start with the next sentence. Xiao Jing frowned and said, "Xuan Snake...... I don't know if it's the snake recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Xuan, black also. In other words, the snow mountain red ginseng is guarded by black snakes. ”
"Snakes hibernate. Xu Ji's words were still concise and to the point, but everyone also understood what he meant.
If there is a snake near the red ginseng in the snow mountain, it should also go into hibernation. Even if this snake is the kind of giant python recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", with the speed of snow falling in the mountains of the northern regions, I am afraid that the snake cannot be found with the naked eye alone. Maybe by the time we find out, it's too late.
Waking up a hibernating snake doesn't seem to be a pleasant thing to do.
"Not bad. Xiao Jing nodded and said, "If we only rely on this little clue to find the Snow Mountain Red Ginseng, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
"Maybe we shouldn't have set our goals so high in the first place. Luo San said: "When you discussed it just now, I made a rough calculation, but I didn't get anything. ”
"This mountain is unpredictable. Xu Ji said.
"Since both of you have said so, it seems that the chances of us being able to find Snow Mountain Red Ginseng are almost zero. "Xiaojing Dao.
Shen Qi had been listening to several people discussing, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing and shaking his head.
To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: they didn't understand a word of what they said!
Although Shen Qi and the five of them climbed the mountains of the Northern Regions, he never forgot his mission.
While the five of them were discussing clues about the Red Ginseng of the Snow Mountain, Shen Qi's heart kept thinking about the "Red Vitex Fruit" that the Holy Son of the Mountain Village needed to consolidate the resilience of the meridians.
Since he had just received the "Herb Record" and encountered the "Five Uniques", Shen Qi hadn't had time to see where the red vitex fruit he was most concerned about was growing, and he simply guessed that it was at the peak of the birds in the Great Snow Mountain.
But where the Great Snow Mountain and the Bird Peak were, he didn't know at all. Therefore, he was thinking about whether to talk to these five people about the red wattle fruit.
Since the Red Thorn Fruit is very important to the Holy Son's cultivation, I am afraid that its value is not low! If these five people also have ideas about the Red Thorn Fruit, will they give it or not?
If so, what if the number of Red Vitex Fruits is very small? This time, I sneaked out of Yingxue Mountain Villa to look for Red Vitex Fruits, but it was prepared for the next year's Holy Son cultivation! That was not only about myself, but also about several other Holy Sons, and even affected the entire Yingxue Mountain Villa! How could I decide on my own?
If you don't give it, I'm afraid you'll have to conflict with these people.
Although he had been with these five people for less than half a day, Shen Qi still felt that they were worth befriending.
This feeling was indescribable, which made Shen Qi very puzzled.
It's one thing to make friends, it's another thing to share red wattle fruit.
Shen Qi's slow reaction is true, it is true that he has little experience in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know much about human feelings.
But he's not stupid.
Yingxue Mountain Villa needs red wattle fruit, and sharing it with others will affect the next development of the mountain villa, and even cause the mountain villa to lose the "ten-year covenant".
This simple logic, Shen Qi is still very clear.
Just when Shen Qi was distressed about the Red Thorn Fruit, the five Xiaojing seemed to have finished their discussion.
"Brother Shen. Xiao Jing shouted Shen Qi not far away.
It turned out that when Shen Qi was pondering, Luo III and Xu Ji tried to combine feng shui and physiognomy to jointly deduce the location of the snow mountain red ginseng.
I didn't think about it, but it really made them deduce something.
"To...... Where are you going?" Shen Qi asked.
"Based on what we've deduced, we've got to go there. ”
As he spoke, Luo III pointed into the distance.
Shen Qi was a little dazed, because he looked along the place pointed by Luo III, and only saw the vast white snow, and there was nothing else.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Brother Shen, do you know that mountain?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask when he saw Shen Qi's appearance.
"Mountain?" Shen Qi was even more puzzled.
"That'...... There...... Nothing...... It's empty!" Shen Qi couldn't help but whisper.
This time, the five of them were not calm.
"Brother Shen, what are you kidding?" Luo Sanshi's hoarse voice seemed to contain a hint of anger: "Isn't that mountain there!"
When Shen Qi heard this, he looked there, but it was still white, and there were no peaks.
"Impossible!" Xu Ji also snorted coldly.
"Amitabha. The little monk and Ye shouted a Buddha name and said, "Master Shen, this matter is very important, and you must not talk nonsense." ”
Hearing that Monk Heye, who had been relatively silent, also said this, Shen Qi was completely panicked.
"I ...... No, really...... Nothing...... One thing!" Shen Qi was so anxious that he even gestured.
Jing Zhenxiu, who was not far from him, frowned slightly and gestured to everyone.
"Huh?" Xiao Jing couldn't help but wonder when he saw Jing Zhen's gesture.
Because what Jing Zhen's gesture says is: he is not lying.
Several people couldn't help frowning.
Shen Qi felt a chill and sadness in his heart.
I thought of them as friends I could make, and I almost told them about the red wattle fruit. I didn't expect them to be so suspicious of me just because of this little thing! Could it be that the people from outside are so suspicious?
Shen Qi couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for Yingxue Mountain Villa and the Holy Sons.
Thinking of the mountain villa and the Holy Son, Shen Qi silently gritted his teeth and no longer thought about the attitude of the five people before.
Sure enough, the sadness and longing in Shen Qi's heart disappeared after a while.
But he was very puzzled: Why is it that everyone can see the mountains, but I can't see them at all?
Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn't help asking, "That mountain...... What the...... What does it look like?"
The five of them looked at each other.
Xiao Jing was the first to speak: "That mountain peak is towering into the sky, far beyond the surrounding peaks. ”
"The shape of the mountain is very strange. Luo III added: "It's like ...... Like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly into the clouds. The left and right side peaks resemble the two wings of an eagle. ”
"The eagle's head is in the clouds. Xu Ji said coldly.
"It's imposing and intimidating. The little monk said the Buddha name.
Shen Qi listened to the descriptions of several people, and his mind moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Big Snow Mountain, Bird Peak?"
The five of them looked sideways.
"Bird Peak?" Xu Ji's voice was no longer so cold and hard, but there was a trace of doubt.
Shen Qi also "chuckled" inexplicably in his heart. I have never been to the mountains of the Northern Regions, so it is naturally impossible to see the Great Snow Mountain and the Bird Peak.
But Shen Qi had an inexplicable feeling in his heart: the towering and strange mountain in the distance described by everyone was the destination of his trip-the Bird Peak of the Great Snow Mountain!
But what puzzled Shen Qi the most was why he couldn't see the peak of the Great Snow Mountain.
After thinking for a while, everyone had no clue, and Shen Qi couldn't help asking, "No...... Can't ...... anymore Buxiang ...... Sour melon?"
Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "No." Previously, Lao Xu and Lao Luo had teamed up to deduce the general location of the Snow Mountain Red Ginseng, and they could not be deduced again within a day. ”
"It's not easy. Xu Ji said in a low voice.
"That'...... Let's go ...... Do you want to go?" Shen Qi asked.
Xiao Jing looked at Shen Qi and the other four people, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go!"
"Oh. Shen Qi answered honestly, and then took a step.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, he looked up and saw the towering and strange mountain described by the previous few people.
"Look...... See!"
Shen Qi's voice startled the five people who were just about to go on the road.
"I ...... See...... Saw the big ...... Snow Mountain!" Shen Qi shouted excitedly.
The five of them looked at each other, and a chill couldn't help but rise in their hearts.
"Is there such a thing in the world?" Xiao Jing whispered to himself: "Is it the problem of this world, or is it our problem?"
Luo III walked to the position where Shen Qi had stood before, with some disbelief.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a vast white snow, how could there be the shadow of the snowy mountain?
"Shhh
"How can there be ghosts covering their eyes in broad daylight!" Xu Ji snorted coldly, a little disdainful of Luo III's fuss. But it can be seen that his expression also has a hint of fear.
Next, Xiao Jing also walked to the position where Shen Qi was standing before, and it was really the same as what Shen Qi said.
Thinking of the previous questioning of Shen Qi, several people were a little ashamed.
Because only Jing Qi said that Shen Qi was not lying just now, several people couldn't help but glance at Jing Zhen.
But he saw Jing Zhen look at the position where Shen Qi was standing just now with a surprised expression.
Everyone followed Jing Zhen's gaze.
In the previous position where the Great Snow Mountain could not be seen, there was a strange small white flower.
This little flower is pure white and flawless, and it is almost one with the surrounding snow. If it weren't for Jing Zhen's discovery, everyone wouldn't have noticed that there was a small white flower on the snow.
If you look closely, it is a lotus flower.
Could it be the iceberg snow lotus?
This thought arose in everyone's hearts.
But Jing Zhen made a gesture for everyone to take a closer look.
After a closer look, everyone found that the stem of this white lotus flower actually separated another flower, but half of this flower was hidden in the snow, and it was impossible to find it if you didn't look carefully.
It's actually a snow lotus!
"And Snow Lotus!" Xiao Jing couldn't help but exhale.
Originally, the iceberg snow lotus was a rather rare and precious medicinal material, but I didn't expect this strain to be a snow lotus.
Not to mention the Snow Lotus, it is an ordinary lotus flower, and the probability of appearing is only 1 in 100,000! Not to mention the Snow Lotus! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique in the world!
Xiao Jing hurriedly squatted down, and was about to pick this unique snow lotus, but was stopped by Jing Zhen.
When everyone was puzzled, Shen Qi suddenly said, "Flower ...... Flowers are ...... Two colors!"
Shen Qi's voice surprised everyone again, but Jing Qi smiled at Shen Qi, and Shen Qi scratched his head embarrassedly.
Without waiting for everyone to say anything more, Jing Ji stretched out his hand and gently swept away the snow that was hidden on top of another snow lotus in the snow.
Everyone looked at it again and couldn't help but be surprised again.
It turns out that half of the snow lotus hidden under the snow is purple!
Two-color and snow lotus!
