Chapter Twenty-Six: Dragon's Grass
"Senior Aunt, you're here!"
Seeing this, Xia Xijun couldn't help but be overjoyed, took the axe in his hand, and ran straight towards Fan Ruyin.
Fan Ruyin smiled: "Today, I'll bring you food, and by the way, see how your task is completed." ”
"It's the seventh day of the mission. ”
When Xia Xijun heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize, smiled embarrassedly, and continued: "Senior aunt, if you don't say it, I will almost forget." ”
"Huh, huh?"
When Fan Ruyin heard this, she pretended to be serious, and smiled: "If you don't complete the task I gave me today, you will be punished." ”
Xia Xijun asked curiously, "Punishment?
When Fanruyin heard this, she replied mysteriously: "This ...... I'll have to show you how well you've done your quest, and if you've done it well, the punishment will be canceled and you'll be rewarded. ”
Xia Xijun said happily: "What is the reward?"
Fan Ruyin said: "Don't worry, you'll know in a while." ”
As soon as the voice fell, she asked Xia Xijun to take her to check the number of bamboos cut, and after an hour, the number of bamboos was counted, no more, no less than fifteen hundred, Fan Ruyin nodded with satisfaction, and praised with a thumbs up: "Not bad." ”
"Senior aunt, what reward do I have?" Xia Xijun asked.
Fan Ruyin continued: "Reward...... It is to start the next seven-day task, this task is simple and simple, not simple or simple, that is, from tomorrow, your feet will be tied to ten pounds of sandbags, and then, run to the opposite mountain peak under a cliff, pick some herbs I named, every morning, I will ask your sister Chunxiang to tell you its name, and take away the herbs picked yesterday. ”
When Xia Xijun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in confusion: "Tie sandbags, pick herbs, sister, why do you pick herbs?"
Fan Ruyin said: "Jun'er, why do you ask so much, you just need to do what your aunt said." ”
"Oh, okay then. ”
When Xia Xijun heard this, he didn't dare to refute, so he had to answer reluctantly.
Fan Ruyin saw that his tone was very displeased, so he comforted again: "Jun'er, you have to believe in my aunt, my aunt will not let you do these things for no reason, my aunt is all for your good, if you think you can't do it, then the task can be canceled immediately." ”
When Xia Xijun heard this, he shook his head firmly on the spot and said, "No, Senior Aunt, you say it, Jun'er will definitely be able to do it." ”
"Well, that's good. ”
Fan Ruyin said: "Let's go back to the cave first, and after you finish eating, my aunt will talk to you in detail." ”
"Good. ”
When the two returned to the cave, Xia Xijun had eaten a sweet and delicious meal, and Fan Ruyin asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, Senior Aunt, is this what you made?" Xia Xijun nodded and asked.
"Hehe, my aunt doesn't have such good skills, it's all your sister Dongxue who does it these days. Fanruyin replied.
"Wow, Sister Dongxue's craftsmanship is really good. Xia Xijun praised.
"You, your little mouth is so sweet. ”
Fan Ruyin said: "However, after eating, we should get down to business." ”
Xia Xijun continued: "Well, senior aunt, you can say it." ”
Fan Ruyin asked, "Jun'er, do you know what "Dragon Grass" is?"
Xia Xijun shook his head and said, "Senior Aunt, what is the dragon grass?"
Fanruyin explained: "Dragon grass is a kind of fairy grass recorded in the "Sue Wei Ji", horse eats, a thousand miles a day, the ancient saying Zeng Yun: "A dragon stalk, turned into a dragon horse", Mu Tianzi tasted it, in order to raise eight horses, and it is rumored that this is the saliva of the dragon in the world, so it is called ambergris. ”
When Xia Xijun heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Senior Aunt, what is the effect of this dragon grass, what does it look like?"
"The stamens of this dragon grass are blood-red, the taproot is well-developed, and the leaf veins are mostly reticulated, parallel or arc. ”
Fan Ruyin replied: "I don't know the effect of it, I only know that it was your master who spent a lot of effort to transplant it to Luoshen Peak, and your task tomorrow is to find this herb and bring it back intact." ”
"Okay, I'm going to get the job done. Xia Xijun replied.
"Then my aunt will go back first, and from the day after tomorrow, your sister Chunxiang will come to collect medicinal materials, don't let your sister Chunxiang down." Fanruyin admonished.
"Okay, Aunt Shi, don't worry. ”
As soon as Xia Xijun's voice fell, Fan Ruyin took out the sandbag that had been prepared, and then, after explaining a few words in a wordy manner, he walked towards the way he came, and Fan Ruyin walked away, but Xia Xijun hurriedly put the sandbag aside, and practiced the "Five Birds Heart Method", he found that as long as he finished practicing the "Five Birds Heart Method" every time, the heat flow in the lower abdomen dantian would gather more and more, and once he stopped practicing, this heat flow would immediately disperse to the meridians of the limbs, making him refreshed and feeling very comfortable.
In the residence where Hua Rufeng of Luoshen Peak was located, Fan Ruyin and all the disciples gathered together at this moment, their eyes all looked at Hua Rufeng, who had just come back, Hua Rufeng looked solemn, looked at everyone, and then slowly spoke: " A few days ago, when the teacher went down the mountain to visit his old friends, he quietly learned that the Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols, that is, the current Yuan Emperor, he quietly issued three secret orders, these three secret orders are related to my falling god peak, so just returned to the peak today, let Ruyin gather everyone here, first, is to discuss the things we will face in the future, second, is to listen to everyone's opinions, third, is to let the apprentices make their own choice, so as not to know when the catastrophe comes. ”
As soon as Hua Rufeng's voice fell, Fan Ruyin couldn't help but ask: "Master, what is so serious, you might as well tell us first." ”
"Yes, Master, you speak up first, and we'll hear it. Chunxiang and the other disciples also asked anxiously.
"Decades ago, for the division and a group of chivalrous friends, in order to prevent the Mongols from invading the Central Plains, had fought bloodily outside the city of Xiangyang, when the enemy was outnumbered, our Central Plains martial arts people, and the soldiers defending the city were killed and wounded, and finally, the city was captured by the Mongols, and I became a thorn in their side, all these years have been looking for my whereabouts, one is to get rid of me quickly, warn the Central Plains martial arts, and the other is to obtain the martial arts treasure "Nine Songs" , It is rumored that those who get the Nine Songs of the Treasure can not only dominate the world, but also unify the martial arts, and whether the Nine Songs of the Treasure can dominate the martial arts of the world, even for the teacher is not clear, the teacher only knows that the Nine Songs of the Treasure are nine wordless books, although they were in the hands of the teacher at that time, but because of the war has not had the opportunity to take a closer look, later, after several turnovers lost, when I found out the whereabouts, the nine songs have been hidden by a mysterious person in the place of death in northern Xinjiang, until now, no one dares to enter the place of death. ”
Hua Rufeng said this, his tone eased slightly, and then continued: "No one dares to enter, but it does not mean that no one can enter, this time the division went down the mountain, the traces were exposed, and the Yuan Emperor immediately sent more than a dozen Mongolian masters to chase and kill, in order to prevent future troubles, I pretended not to find out, led them all the way to the northern Xinjiang, and then took advantage of their inattention, and sent them all to the place of death." ”
