Volume 1 The Adventures of Teenagers Chapter 20 Mr. Ling
"What," Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Shen, aren't you from Yingxue Mountain Villa?"
Shen Qi looked bitter and nodded, without words.
"Probably no one else will come here, right?" asked Xiaojing in a low voice.
Shen Qi shook his head.
Xiao Jing nodded, as if he understood something, and did not continue to ask.
"Next, are we going there?" asked Luo III, pointing to the house on the other side of the frozen lake.
Xiao Jing and the others did not answer, but fixed their eyes on Shen Qi.
"What if...... If the one who shoots the arrow is in ...... Where are we?" Shen Qi muttered to himself, "We...... How can it be ...... to rush past? Isn't it self-defeating?"
"Amitabha!"
He Ye Song said a Buddha name, took the arrow from Xiao Jing's hand, and then turned to Shen Qidao: "Master Shen, what if the other party doesn't know our identity?"
"What...... What do you mean?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.
He Ye thought for a moment and explained: "We might as well make an assumption, if Brother Shen is the person opposite. You've found this place with a lot of hard work. You've gone to great lengths just to pick herbs, but a group of people has appeared in the distance. Who are they? Are they here to pick herbs, are they good intentions or are they malicious? How do you judge?"
"This ......" Shen Qi scratched his head, as if he understood what He Ye meant.
"So...... So, I'll first...... Shoot an arrow to tempt?" Shen Qi asked in a low voice, "If ...... The other party is well-intentioned and may know...... Knowing the odds and retreating?"
"Maybe it's just a warning. Xiao Jing said: "After all, those who know that there are medicinal herbs here should only be the people of Yingxue Mountain Villa." ”
Shen Qi hurriedly nodded, "Yes...... That's right...... That's it!"
Shen Qi's face became good-looking, but after a while, he frowned again: "Ru...... If we continue...... Forward, the other party is still ...... You can shoot arrows, right?"
The five peers looked at each other.
"Brother Shen, listen to me. Xiao Jing patted Shen Qi's shoulder and said, "If we don't want to stay outside overnight, I'm afraid we can only find a way to enter that rest house." After all, it was getting late, and it would be difficult for us to find another resting house. ”
Shen Qi nodded.
"We just need to spread out a little bit and keep an eye on the rest room, and the arrows should be fine. Xiao Jing continued: "What does Brother Shen think?"
"Good. Shen Qi nodded in response.
So, the group of six began to walk cautiously towards the rest room.
Moving cautiously all the way, Shen Qi and his party did not receive any further attacks.
Finally, after a long time, the six of them finally walked to the rest house.
The rest house was made of stone, which was much larger and sturdier than the previous one at the bottom of the mountain.
It's just that Shen Qi didn't pay attention to the rest room for the first time, but looked around.
"Brother Shen, what are you looking for?" asked Luo III curiously.
"Herbs!" replied Shen Qi.
The rest houses of Yingxue Mountain Villa should be built in an area where the herbs grow more intensively.
Shen Qi has not forgotten the purpose of this trip.
Sure enough, after sweeping around, Shen Qi found a red and green patch a few feet away in the west.
"That's?" Shen Qi hurriedly beckoned to the other five.
Xiao Jing hurriedly flipped through the "Herb Record", pointed to the illustration on one of the pages, and said excitedly: "Snow Mountain Red Ginseng!"
"Snow Mountain Red Ginseng!"
Several others were also quite excited. After all, the original purpose of the Five Uniques was Snow Mountain Red Ginseng.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Xiao Jing greeted and walked towards the location of the Snow Mountain Red Ginseng.
Xu Ji looked up as he walked, but his brows furrowed slightly.
Luo Sanshi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Xu Ji's expression, he asked out loud: "Old Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Ji didn't look back, but pointed to the low peak on the north side and the ice lake on the south side, and said, "What do you see?"
Luo III glanced at it, and his expression was a little wrong.
"Brother Xiaojing Dao, what is the description of Snow Mountain Red Ginseng in the Herb Record?" Luo San asked busily.
Xiao Jing took out the "Herb Record" and said while reading: "Snow Mountain Red Ginseng is born in Shanyin and Shuiyang...... Sanyin, Shuiyang?"
Now Xiaojing also sensed that something was wrong.
"The so-called Shanyin and Shuiyang generally refer to the north of the mountain and the south of the water. But this large area of snow-capped mountain red ginseng in front of me is obviously growing in the north of the water and the south of the mountain!" Luo III said in a low voice.
At this moment, everyone's expressions became a little unsightly.
The growth of medicinal herbs is extremely special, and it stands to reason that only in a special environment can medicinal herbs with strange medicinal effects be grown. However, the environment in front of me where the red ginseng grows in the snow-capped mountains is diametrically opposed to what is recorded in the "Herb Record".
"How can this be?" asked Xiao Jing with a frown.
"Amitabha!" and Ye whispered to the Buddha, muttering: "This is not Snow Mountain Red Ginseng, but ...... Evil thing!"
"Yes, this is not Snow Mountain Red Ginseng, but Snow Mountain Ginseng!"
As soon as it arrived, a deep voice sounded behind everyone.
Shen Qi and the others were suddenly startled, and they all looked back at the comer.
It was a burly man in a thick fur coat.
The man looks to be around thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute face, and a square face full of righteousness.
Shen Qi looked at the man in front of him carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
In terms of Shen Qi's hearing, he shouldn't have noticed this man at such a close distance! Moreover, Shen Qi had been on guard before, even if it was a range of ten or twenty zhang, he should be able to find it!
In this way, the man in front of him is unfathomable!
Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva.
Before Shen Qi and the others could speak, the man glanced at Shen Qi first and asked, "Which Holy Son are you?"
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the person in front of him should be the person who warned him with a bow and arrow before, and he should also be the elder of the villa.
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Qi immediately arched his hand and said, "Late ...... Junior Shen Qi. ”
"It turned out to be the Seven Holy Sons. The man nodded, and then bowed back.
Seeing this, the five peers also followed Shen Qi's example and arched their hands.
"Dare to ask...... What do you call your seniors?" Shen Qi asked in a respectful voice.
"You can call me Mr. Ling. The man said: "I don't know who these little friends are?"
Shen Qi frowned and thought for a while, completely unable to remember that there was such a character as "Mr. Ling" in Yingxue Mountain Villa.
Moreover, aren't all Yingxue Villa's surnames Shen? How could there be a "Mr. Ling"? Could it be that this person is not from Yingxue Villa?
"Hello Senior Ling, we have traveled here from afar, and we met Brother Shen at the foot of the mountain, so we walked together. Xiaojing replied.
Mr. Ling furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Fellow travelers, you are also here for the medicinal herbs of the mountains of the Northern Regions?"
Xiao Jing "chuckled" in his heart, and the secret way was not good.
Nine out of ten of the people in front of him were from Yingxue Mountain Villa, and Shen Qi had mentioned it many times before, this Northern Region Mountain was basically the exclusive medicinal herb excavation site of Yingxue Mountain Villa!
Xiaojing opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Mr. Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see through Xiaojing's true thoughts.
Ling ...... Mr. Ling," Shen Qi said busily: "This ...... These five men spent all their time, and thus ...... Want to dig up some herbs for ...... In exchange for some gold and silver. This is me...... I proposed it. ”
Mr. Ling glanced at Shen Qi and then at the Five Uniques.
"Since it's the proposal of the Seven Holy Sons, then I won't say anything more. ”
Mr. Ling took out two pieces of golden paper from his arms, handed them to Xiao Jing, and said, "This is a thirty-tael golden ticket, which can be exchanged for three hundred taels of silver in any 'Baotong Firm' in Wanlingtian." ”
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Mr. Ling.
"Take it. Mr. Ling said: "The mountains of the Northern Regions are extremely important to our Yingxue Mountain Villa. You haven't seen any herbs along the way, have you?"
Xiao Jing took the golden ticket with some hesitation, and then nodded and said, "Yes." We thought we were on the wrong track. ”
"Because the medicinal herbs in the mountains of the Northern Regions have been cultivated intensively by us. Mr. Ling said, "It's normal that you can't find it." ”
"I see......"
Xiao Jing's faces were quite bitter. No wonder I couldn't see the herbs after looking for them all day.
"It's getting late, so come with me to the house and rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, you will go down the mountain. ”
After Mr. Lin finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the rest room.
Shen Qi and the others looked at each other, and then quickly followed.
