Exotic treasures
Zhang Ling didn't care about this, picked up the knife of the two and looked at it, a typical killer knife, light and sharp.
Zhang Ling didn't like it, on the one hand, it was not easy to use, and on the other hand, he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Nine Killing Palace, so he could only give up, put it on the carriage for the time being, and throw it into the river when he got to the front.
"We won't kill them, but they already know our whereabouts and faces, so I'm afraid there is something wrong."
The flesh of Wei Fatzi's cheeks trembled and smiled: "Don't worry about this, my Medicine King Gu can not only heal the sick and save people, my acupuncture can also be disguised, so that your own mother will not recognize it."
So saying, he took the horses of the two killers off the reins, and with two whips, the two horses galloped away in pain.
Zhang Ling packed up the carriage and said, "Let's go, it is estimated that it will be a few days away, and we can't delay it, maybe there are other killers nearby."
"Reasonable, I'll dress you up when you get to the next resting place", Wei Fatzi said and jumped into the carriage and put on makeup for the old man
Zhang Ling smiled, also got into the carriage, whipped it, and the carriage drove again on the official road
........
The carriage drove all the way, but it was much more enjoyable, there was no obstacle, and occasionally a few small thieves were easily dismissed by Zhang Ling.
The old man was sleeping for longer and longer, most of the day was in a coma, and when he woke up, he was also looking for wine to drink, Zhang Ling made preparations in advance, and put several jars of wine in the carriage, so that the old man could drink it when he woke up.
It's just that the amount of wine in the old man's wine is getting worse and worse, before two or three jars were not drunk, and then one jar was drunk, and now almost half of the jar is drunk. Wei Fatzi didn't understand the reason for this.
After traveling for three or five days, in order to take a shortcut, the two chose to go over the mountain.
this day.
It was getting dark, and the sunset in the sky stained half the sky red.
Settled in a small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, and stayed at the house of an old couple.
The old couple had no children, but they were very enthusiastic and cleaned up a room for the three of them. The mountain air is refreshing, and it is very comfortable to rest for the night, and most of the fatigue of these two days of running has been relieved.
The day is slightly bright, the old couple has gotten up, the old man cleans the courtyard to feed the captive chickens, the small yard is not big but clean and tidy. The old woman began to collect firewood and live and cook. So quiet!
In a few moments, the whole mountain village was filled with smoke. Quiet and harmonious little village.
Zhang Ling also got up, and saw that Wei Fatzi and the old man were still asleep, put on their clothes, gently pushed open the door, and went to the courtyard to practice.
Seeing the gorgeous morning glow in the sky, dyeing half of the sky red, Zhang Ling couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "Yesterday's big sunset, I thought it was good weather, but today it was such a red morning glow, it's really strange, it is estimated that there will be a rainstorm today, I don't know if it will be delayed for a few days."
Before I knew it, the sky was already bright, and Zhang Ling also finished practicing his fists and feet and began to meditate and study the internal exercises.
The fragrance of scrambled eggs with green onions wafted throughout the courtyard, and Zhang Ling's stomach couldn't withstand such temptation, so he snorted. Wei Fatzi was disturbed by the fragrance in his sleep, jumped out, ran into the old couple's kitchen, and helped to light the fire and chop wood, but his eyes never left the golden eggs in the pot.
The old couple liked Zhang Lingwei and the fat three very much, and they felt like their own children and enjoyed the fun brought by the children.
Shovel out a small bowl and hand it to Wei Fatzi, and make the next dish. Wei Fatzi was also a little embarrassed on his face, and pushed in his mouth, but his hand unconsciously took it.
I kept stuffing it into my mouth, and praised my mother-in-law for her good craftsmanship while eating. I haven't eaten such a delicacy in many years, and it feels like coming home.
Wei Fatzi's words made the old couple very happy! Zhang Ling and Wei Fatzi couldn't help in the end, so they had to help.
After a while, the dishes were served, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of fried bacon with bamboo shoots, and a pot of Shi'er soup. Zhang Ling and Wei Fatzi were very satisfied, and they enjoyed it even more than what they ate in the big restaurant.
The old man hadn't woken up yet, and Zhang Ling didn't bother, leaving some food.
Watching the morning sun reced, the weather was not abnormal, but the sky was clear. Zhang Ling couldn't help but wonder and asked the old uncle: "The weather here is really strange, last night was a half-day sunset, and today is the morning glow, as the saying goes, the morning glow doesn't go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles, it seems that it is not allowed."
"Hey, hey, hey, young people don't know, we are here in the poor countryside, attached to Mangshan, although the weather around Mangshan is not as good as the Central Plains, it is not too strange, but recently there has been a glow in the sky, whether it is morning or evening, it is very strange, and it has nothing to do with the weather", the old uncle said with a smile
"Is there a red glow every day?", Wei Fatzi asked with interest
"Yes, the old man has never seen such a strange thing in his sixty years here. It's been like this every day lately," said the old uncle
When Wei Fatzi heard this, he came to his senses, and immediately walked to the courtyard to observe the glow, and said excitedly: "This glow seems to come from this mountain."
Zhang Ling couldn't help but observe this red glow, which was the reddest in the corresponding place in the mountains, and the surrounding area was getting shallower and shallower. It doesn't seem to be a big piece, but it looks like a lot from here. Because it is surrounded by these mountains.
Wei Fatzi said excitedly: "The elixir, it is the elixir, it must be that there are at least a thousand years of elixir in the mountain that are about to mature", and then turned to the old man and asked, "Uncle, how many days has this glow lasted?"
"Half a month," replied the old man
"My goodness. There must be an elixir in the mountains that is about to mature, Brother Ling, this glow must be an elixir for at least a thousand years", Wei Fatzi said excitedly.
Zhang Ling immediately thought of the rumors of the Nine Killings Palace, at that time, the family was exterminated by a sect that exchanged for a thousand-year-old spirit grass, and it was conceivable how precious this thousand-year-old elixir was.
Asked, "How can I be sure this is an elixir?"
"Heaven and earth treasure, there must be a vision when born, you see this glow is reflected from the mountains to the sky, it must be a great spiritual treasure, let's go and get it, if it is a spiritual grass, even a leaf can be rich and expensive, hahahahaha...... Developed, developed", Wei Fatzi laughed
Before the eight characters were skimmed, and before he saw anything, Wei Fatzi had already fantasized about it.
"How can you tell that there is a spiritual treasure in the mountain, but Hongxia is so sure", Zhang Ling wondered
"Hahaha...... Life, it's all fate, God really treats me well, others will definitely not be able to see this way, how can my most knowledgeable disciple in the Medicine King Valley be famous, there are many ancient books in the Medicine King Valley, and I also happened to see it mentioned in the ancient books, [There are thousands of years of elixir in the day, and the glow will not disappear for several days]", Wei Fatzi said proudly, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Go, go, go, pack up and go into the mountain", Wei Fat Monkey urged anxiously
Before Zhang Ling could think about it, he pulled Zhang Ling and wanted to go up the mountain.
This is the old couple but hurriedly grabbed Wei Fatzi, the old woman said: "You have to be careful when you go up the mountain, there are many beasts in the mountains, especially in the mountains there is a mountain called Mangshan, there are man-eating snake fairies in this mountain"
Wei Fatzi laughed and said: "Old woman, don't worry, I grew up in the valley since I was a child, I haven't seen any snakes, I also have a lot of snakes, I am the best at catching snakes and fighting snakes, and there are snakes just in medicine"
The old man said with a frightened face: "Young people don't dare to talk nonsense, the old man has lived here for sixty years, and the warning passed down from generation to generation is that there is a forbidden place in this mountain range, which is the territory of the snake fairy, and we usually hunt only about fifty miles around at most, and we dare not go deeper."
Zhang Ling didn't believe in the ghosts, but he didn't dare to take these ancestral teachings too seriously, after all, there was no wind and no waves, since there were rumors, there were always some things that were true. He asked, "Has anyone ever been in the mountains?"
"Yes, there are always some young people in the village every few decades who do not believe in the mountain gods and disdain the ancestral teachings, the most recent time was ten years ago, when it rained continuously in the village, the villagers' food was not enough, and the prey was not easy to fight, a few young people were young and vigorous, and they went deep into the mountains, but no one came back", the old uncle said that he was inevitably a little sad
"Has no one ever been in?" Zhang Ling was slightly surprised
"Yes, it's been more than 50 years, and I've also heard from my elders, and the one that came back, crazy, and there was only one word in his mouth, the snake, and it didn't take long for him to die" The old man lit a bag of self-grown cigarettes, took a puff, and said slowly
Wei Fatzi said disdainfully: "I'm in charge of raising these snakes in the valley, lizards or something, very familiar, what kind of snakes have never been seen, and they can be scared by snakes, don't be afraid, I was born to restrain snakes."
