When Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen heard this, they hurriedly ran down the mountain. Hu Xiaochen said to Zhao Xiaocao: "I don't know if this vine can support the two of us, let Master Wang Xue drag me up first." Wang Xue shouted at the top of the peak: "It's okay, it's okay, you are children, your body is light, I'll drag you up together." Zhao Xiaocao and Hu Xiaochen each grabbed a vine with their four hands, Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "Master, we have caught it, you can drag it!" As soon as the words fell, the vine slowly moved upward, Wang Xue's internal force was strong, and it was not difficult to drag Zhao and Hu to the peak little by little.

Zhao Xiaocao climbed to the top of the peak, only to see that the peak is really very big, a radius of one mile, like a platform made by God on the top of the mountain, there are flowers and green grass in front of him, and a few towering ancient trees, a piece of spring, and the late autumn scene of withered grass and dead trees under the mountain is very different, I think the peak is warmer than the bottom of the mountain. Zhao Xiaocao was stunned, and said happily: "I think this Night Soul Grass is mostly here." Hu Xiaochen said: "It must be so, according to legend, the night soul grass is evergreen all year round, and the cattle and sheep do not eat, and it is only on this dangerous peak, the cattle and sheep can't climb up, so they can't eat." ”

Wang Xue said: "Let's spread out here to look for it, none of us know the Returning Night Soul Grass, if you see a plant or tree that you don't know, don't care if it's the Returning Night Soul Grass or not, pick it first." Zhao Xiaocao was slightly stunned, then laughed, and then said: "There are hundreds of kinds of plants and trees on the top of this peak, of which we don't know only dozens of kinds. Seven or eight kinds of plants and trees can boil a whole pot of medicinal soup, and they have to be given to Chang Long and his stomach. Hu Xiaochen also laughed and said, "Besides, seven or eight unknown herbs are boiled at will, and you know how bad the smell of the brewed taste is." Even if Chang Long's final cause of death was not killed by Huang Qiangfeng's hammer, I am afraid that he would be drugged to death by us by pouring medicine alive. His last sentence was funny, and Wang Xue couldn't help but smile, and said: "You two little urchins, your brothers are dying, you still have the heart to laugh." Look for it!" the three of them immediately dispersed and searched for it on the peak. Wang Xue studied medicine with Li Hao and Bu Ziyi in Bozi Mountain in his early years, Li and Bu are very familiar with herbal medicine, and everyone lives in the same place, day and night, in just a few years, Wang Xue is familiar with all kinds of herbs, and he has seen a lot of flowers and plants, but they are all ordinary miscellaneous flowers and wild grasses that he knows. Zhao Xiaocao lowered his head and walked leisurely, during which he saw a lot of flowers and plants that he couldn't name, but these flowers and plants were also very common under the mountain, although he didn't know the name of the grass, he also knew that it would not be a night soul grass.

Zhao Xiaocao finally walked to Wang Xue's side, and said dejectedly: "Master, I didn't find it, I see, according to me, look at ......" Wang Xue said: "According to you, Chang Long is mostly finished, isn't it?" Zhao Xiaocao said: "This is what you said, not me!" Wang Xue said angrily: "When are you still laughing again, if Chang Long has any accidents, you don't want to live, just go and make ...... for him" Speaking of this, I suddenly saw Zhao Xiaocao's eyes red, it turned out that Zhao Xiaocao said that Changlong was finished, but in fact, it was not a joke, but she was reluctant in her heart. Wang Xue secretly regretted that she shouldn't have reprimanded Zhao Xiaocao impulsively, and said softly: "Good boy, don't be sad, it's the master's, the master shouldn't murder you, I see Chang Long's appearance, and I feel annoyed." Thinking that Chang Long was lying on the kang and was going to die at any time, maybe he had ascended to heaven and returned to the West at this time, and he thought that he was a good aspiring young man, but the end was a tragic death, except for Wang Yingying, who was not a relative, there was not even a relative, Wang Xue's chest was sore, and tears flowed out. Wang Xue has a strong temperament, no matter how difficult it is on weekdays, she has never cried in front of her disciples, and at this time tears flowed out, causing Zhao Xiaocao to cry too. Zhao Xiaocao shouted: "Master Wang Xue!" and threw herself into Wang Xue's arms. Wang Xue wiped a handful of tears and said: "Xiaocao, let's not cry, the matter hasn't reached the uncontrollable field, and it's too hypocritical to pity and love yourself now." Zhao Xiaocao choked up and said: "If you can't find the Night Soul Grass on this peak, then there won't be one under the mountain, Chang Long, Chang Long he ......" Wang Xue said: "Who said we couldn't find it, aren't we looking for it, maybe Hu Xiaochen has already found it at this time." ”

As soon as Wang Xue finished saying this, she saw Hu Xiaochen rushing towards her with a large bundle of herbs in his hand, Hu Xiaochen's face was flushed, and he shouted: "I found it, I found it!" Zhao Xiaocao burst into tears and laughed, and shouted: "You have found the Returning Night Soul Grass! Great, thank God, Chang Long has been saved!" Wang Xue greeted the sunlight and couldn't see what Hu Xiaochen was holding for a while, but he saw that Hu Xiaochen was carrying a bundle of fresh grass with thick stems and round leaves, like He Shou Wu and the like, in short, it would never be a life-saving grass. Zhao Xiaocao saw that Wang Xue's expression was not joyful, so he guessed that what Hu Xiaochen was holding in his hand was not the Night Soul Grass, and he was disappointed in his heart, and couldn't help but bow his head and sigh. Hu Xiaochen said: "I found the herb, you should be happy, why sigh?" Wang Xue said: "Do you know what kind of herb this is?" Hu Xiaochen said: "Of course I know, this is purple wisteria, I often used it to flush water when I was a child, sweet and bitter, I don't know whether it should be good or not." "The purple wisteria is He Shou Wu, but the names of the south and north of the Yangtze River are different. Wang Xue said: "Since you know that it is not a divine grass, what are you picking it for?" Hu Xiaochen said: "In this world, there is not only the medicine of the Night Soul Grass that can replenish blood and qi, we brought this purple vine back to Chang Long, which can also restore his vitality and save his life." Wang Xue looked at He Shou Wu in Hu Xiaochen's hand, and secretly laughed at his child's innocence, He Shou Wu is used for laxative and detoxification, where can it replenish blood and qi? But thinking that He Shou Wu has maintenance effects, it is not impossible to give it to Chang Long, anyway, he can't drink him, if it happens to help him heal his injuries, it also saves the trouble of finding the Night Soul Grass, so he said to Zhao Xiaocao: "You take the herbs down the mountain to give Chang Long a service." Zhao Xiaocao said: "Won't Master go down the mountain with me?" Wang Xue said: "When Chang Long is seriously injured, even if he really takes the medicinal materials of the great tonic, he may not be able to heal, not to mention that this purple black vine has no blood tonic effect. Xiaochen and I still have to find the Night Soul Grass. Zhao Xiaocao took He Shouwu from Hu Xiaochen's hand and said, "Master, I'll go." Wang Xue nodded and said, "Be careful when going down the mountain." Zhao Xiaocao nodded again.

After Zhao Xiaocao left, Wang Xue and Hu Xiaochen continued to look for them in the mountains. The two of them found the moon and stars from the top of the sun, and the circle above the peak was only one mile, and the two of them searched back and forth several times, and even the peaks were almost able to count how many different plants and trees there were. Hu Xiaochen sat down under a tree and said, "Master, I'm tired, let's rest for the night, and go down the mountain tomorrow morning to search elsewhere." I don't think there will be any Night Soul Grass on this peak. Wang Xue also felt that there would be no divine grass on the top of this peak, otherwise this peak was not very big, and there was no reason to find it after looking for a few hours, but the mountain was full of yellow dead trees and withered grass, a desolation in late autumn, only this peak was born with grass and wild flowers, like a paradise, if there was no return to the night soul grass in Yiwei Mountain, if there was, it must be on this peak undoubtedly, if you give up going down the mountain, Chang Long will have the worry of his life, where to go, it is really difficult to decide. Hu Xiaochen saw Wang Xue's embarrassed face, and comforted her: "Master, rest first, let's search for it one last time before going down the mountain tomorrow morning, maybe this night soul grass can only bloom in the early morning and be seen." Wang Xue thought that this was reasonable, sat next to Hu Xiaochen, and said: "We are all tired, let's sleep first, and we will talk about it tomorrow morning." He leaned his head on the trunk of a tree behind him and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But Wang Xue always thought about Chang Long's injury in her heart, and she couldn't sleep well, and in her sleep, she saw that she came to the bottom of a towering ancient tree, and the white-haired old mountain god who lived in the tree came out to meet Wang Xue. The old mountain god didn't say a word, just smiled at Wang Xue, Wang Xue wanted to ask about the Night Soul Grass, but before he could speak, the mountain god disappeared. Wang Xue was in a hurry, and then woke up, always feeling that this dream was strange and strange, and the absurdity of coming was also absurd, looking around, he saw that Hu Xiaochen was not sleeping honestly, and he had already fallen asleep in the grass pile in the distance. Wang Xue yawned, seeing that the sky was not yet bright, she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, and suddenly thought of Hu Xiaochen's words before going to bed, maybe this Returning Night Soul Grass can only bloom in the early morning and be seen, and her heart moved: "This grass is called Returning Night Soul Grass, which of course means that it will bloom at night." Thinking of this, he could no longer sleep, so he hurriedly got up and searched the neighborhood. Wang Xue leaned his head on the trunk of the tree behind him to sleep, but when he wanted to get up, he naturally put one hand on the tree, and the palm of his hand touched the trunk, and suddenly woke up: "Yes, the old mountain god has already instructed me, and the night soul grass is on the tree!"

There are not many trees on the top of the mountain, and the largest one is the one next to Wang Xue. Wang Xue tidied up her clothes and looked at the giant tree in front of her, and saw that the tree was strong and tall, and there were so many branches on the trunk that it was impossible to count, and the branches were messily blooming with big pink flowers, and she didn't know what kind of tree it was, and she thought: "It doesn't matter what kind of tree it is, I'll climb up and take a look." But the trunk is too thick, and the lowest horizontal branch is more than three feet high, Rao is Wang Xue has a flexible body and deep internal strength, and it is not easy to climb. Wang Xue opened her arms to hug the trunk of the tree, and her legs kicked up little by little on the bark, so that the limbs were used together, and she consumed a lot of physical strength, only climbed for a while, and was so tired that she sweated on her forehead, but she couldn't stop halfway, otherwise her hands and feet had no place to grasp and trample, and she could only stop and get more tired when she stopped. Wang Xue struggled to climb for a while, and finally grabbed a branch with her right hand, and was about to sit on the branch with her strength, when she suddenly saw a strange thing growing at the branch of the tree, vaguely like a big blooming flower. Wang Xue's heart sank, and her first thought was that this flower was the night soul grass she was looking for, so she hurriedly sat on the branch of the tree, and took a closer look by the bright moonlight, and saw that it was indeed a big flower growing on the branch. Wang Xue wandered away from the north and south of the river, what kind of strange flowers and plants have been seen, but the flower in front of him is really big and surprisingly big, the appearance of this flower is no different from ordinary wildflowers, but the ordinary flower is only the size of a fist, can be dragged up with one hand, and the big flower in front of him is the size of a pumpkin, you have to hold it with both arms, such a huge strange flower, it must undoubtedly be the legendary night soul grass. Wang Xue was surprised and delighted, originally thought that she would have to live in the mountain for ten days and a half months before she could go back this time, and she didn't want to find the soul grass on the first night.

Although Wang Xue is not a miracle doctor, but also proficient in herbal medicine, at first sight, he knew that this flower had to chop the petals to dry and boil before taking it, and was about to reach out to pick it, when he suddenly heard a slight sound above his head, it seemed that there was an ambush and sneak attack on the top of the tree, and when he looked up, he was only frightened and did not possess his body, where is the master of light skill at the top of the tree, but it is a dark python. The giant python was coiled on the top of the tree, only poking its head down slowly, and a pair of godless dark green eyes stared at Wang Xue's face. Wang Xue often walks around in the mountains, and has seen a lot of pythons, but such a big python is the first time to see it in his life, the python body is thick into the grinding plate, the python head is bigger than Wang Xue's head, Wang Xue can't help but be frightened when he sees it, his legs are sore, his scalp is numb, and he sees the python slowly approaching him, and he doesn't dare to reach out to pick the flowers, so he hurriedly jumps off the tree and runs to the side. The giant python saw Wang Xue retreat, and slowly retracted to the top of the tree.

Wang Xue ran out of dozens of feet, and saw that the black-bellied python did not go down the tree to chase after her, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and was shocked, and thought vigorously in her heart: "I, Wang Xue, am so confused, I forgot to check the situation on the tree before falling asleep under the tree, Hu Xiaochen and I were not swallowed alive by the python in our sleep, that is really a blessing in the previous life." ”

After about half an hour, Wang Xue slowly whipped out her breath, and then walked lightly under the tree, quietly approaching to take a look. The tree is tall and lush, the night soul grass is born in the branches, although it is covered by several leaves, Wang Xue raised his head, but he can also see it, but the giant python is entrenched on the top of the tree, Wang Xue is not at all, and he can't help but feel hairy in his heart, but he wants to sneak up the tree by himself, the python may not find it, even if it does, it may not reach out to bite, and then he will pick the soul grass into his hand, and the python may not be able to catch up if he chases and bites. Seeing that it was about to climb to the branch where the night soul grass was born, the big python slowly poked its head down from between the leaves, staring at Wang Xue with its long tongue. Wang Xue was frightened, and climbed up and closer. The big python saw Wang Xue crawling closer, stretched its head down suddenly, opened its mouth and bit Wang Xue falsely, at this time the python head was still a few feet away from Wang Xue's body, this bite was not really to hurt Wang Xue, but just shook it as a warning, and Wang Xue was not allowed to approach. Wang Xue saw that the big python's mouth was wide open, revealing four sharp teeth, his heart sank, he was so frightened that he was dizzy in front of him, his hand loosened, his body slipped under the tree, and when he looked up, he saw that the big python shrank its head to the top of the tree again, and did not climb down to pursue.

Wang Xue knows that the rumors are true at this moment, Yi Weishan is said to be old in the deep mountains and old forests, there are monsters guarding the night soul grass and not allowing the world to approach, I think it is this python, but the night soul grass can't help but pick it, look up and see that the sky is already a little bright, it seems that it is time to go, and go over to wake up Hu Xiaochen. Hu Xiaochen didn't know that Wang Xue had found the Returning Night Soul Grass, and when she saw that the sky was not yet bright, Wang Xue woke herself up, and said that she was worried about Chang Long, so she hurriedly went down the mountain to search elsewhere, got up and rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said: "Master, let's go down the peak, and then go deeper into the mountains, and we will be able to find the Returning Night Soul Grass in these two days." Wang Xue said: "No need, I have already found the Night Soul Grass." As he spoke, he gestured to the tree behind him. Hu Xiaochen sighed and said happily: "Master is the master in the end, it is really powerful, the disciple didn't think of going to the top of the tree to search." The master waited, and the disciple climbed the tree to fetch it. Wang Xue stretched out her hand to stop Hu Xiaochen and said, "There is a big python on the top of the tree, and when it sees me climbing the tree, it comes over to bite it, we have to think of a way." Hu Xiaochen thought to himself: "Although Master Wang Xue's martial arts are high, in the end, he is a woman, and he is afraid of the python." He said proudly: "Master is not a local, the big python doesn't know you, so naturally he is not close to you, wait for the disciple to go, and ensure that the beast is as obedient as a lamb." Wang Xue thought to herself that the python was so huge, it seemed to have spirituality, let Hu Xiaochen and a child in the mountains go over to pick it, and the python might not be able to stop it, so he stood aside and stopped it. I saw Hu Xiaochen running under the tree with a smoke, holding the trunk of the tree with both hands and climbing up, he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he was used to going up and down the mountain, although the big tree was thick and difficult to climb, he didn't feel how difficult, but after less than a cup of tea, he saw Hu Xiaochen fall from the tree with a bang, and exclaimed: "Scared me to death, scared me to death!" and ran behind Wang Xue with a roll. Seeing Hu Xiaochen's timid look, Wang Xue couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said, "Did the big python bite you?" Hu Xiaochen said: "Fortunately, I escaped quickly, otherwise I would have been bitten by it." I've never seen such a big python in my life. Wang Xue said: "It's still early in your life! We have to find a way to bypass the python and get the divine grass." ”

Hu Xiaochen thought for a moment and said, "Master, that giant python has to guard the soul grass, and we have to pick the soul grass." If we use the strong, it doesn't seem to be very appropriate, you think, the trunk is thick and strong, if we don't use both hands and feet, we can't climb up at all, but if we use our hands and feet to climb the tree, we can't fight the python anymore. Wang Xue was worried and said casually: "I naturally know this." Hu Xiaochen said: "Let's climb up together, one from the front, the other from the back, that python only has one head and one mouth, can't it bite the two of us at the same time?" Wang Xue was stunned, thinking that although this is not a clever strategy, but it can also be tried, and this is the only way at the moment, so he said: "I'll climb up and deal with the python first, and you take the opportunity to go over and pick grass." Hu Xiaochen nodded and agreed.

Wang Xue walked under the tree and climbed towards the tree. When the python saw someone coming up from the tree, he poked his head out from between the leaves. Wang Xue grabbed the trunk with both hands, no third hand could fight with the python, and he shouted in his mouth, luring the python to bite him, just waiting to lure the python down the tree little by little, and Hu Xiaochen climbed up to pick it. The big python saw that Wang Xue was hostile, so he opened his mouth and bit Wang Xue's face. Wang Xue slipped a few feet down, avoided the python's head, and saw that the python retracted its head, so he climbed up again. This was repeated several times, and the python opened its mouth to bite Wang Xue back every time, but no matter how Wang Xue lured, the python would never go down the tree.

Hu Xiaochen saw clearly under the tree, seeing that the python refused to get off the tree no matter what, the longer it dragged on, the more difficult it became, the giant python climbed the tree easily, but Wang Xue climbed the tree but it was extremely physically demanding, and if Wang Xue delayed it again, Wang Xue was physically exhausted, and he would be buried in the belly of the python at any time, so he quietly climbed up from the other side of the trunk. When the big python saw Hu Xiaochen going up the tree, he opened his mouth and bit Hu Xiaochen again. Wang Xue had the intention of luring the giant python to herself, so she hurriedly climbed up a little and made a gesture to pick the soul grass, but the python was really frightened and turned the python's head sharply to bite Wang Xue. Hu Xiaochen took the opportunity to jump on the branch, crawled over to pick the soul grass, and suddenly heard Wang Xue's angry roar: "Be careful behind!" Hu Xiaochen was shocked, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his head, only to see that the giant python came so fast, the python head had reached in front of him, this time it was really shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he used the Wang family fist taught by Wang Xue to flash to the side, but Hu Xiaochen was in a hurry and forgot that he was on the branch at the moment, and dodged to the side, although he dodged the python's fangs, but his feet were stepped on the air and fell from the tree.
