Chapter 26 Cordyceps

Tian Xu took Ziyan's hand and walked towards the grassland in the distance.

After walking a few dozen steps, he suddenly bent down and dug out something similar to a small grass with two chopsticks in his hand in the grass. After shaking off the soil, it was found that this small grassland was growing on a worm more than an inch long.

"Ah! it's cordyceps. Ziyan exclaimed in some surprise. He took the cordyceps from Tian Xu and carefully held it in his hand.

Tian Xu didn't stay here, took two more steps forward, bent down again, and dug out another one.

In this way, he continued to dig, digging more than thirty in one go, and accumulated a small pile in the hands held by Ziyan.

Ziyan saw that he was stunned and asked, "How can you find so many cordyceps so quickly?" My eyesight is so good, and I never thought that cordyceps could be found so easily. While Tian Xu was digging, she had been searching, but she only found two.

Tian Xu smiled: "This is a secret. If I can't get along in the cultivation world in the future, I will come here to dig Cordyceps to make a living, how can I tell you casually?"

Ziyan didn't follow, and asked vigorously. Tian Xu was forced to have no choice, so he had to tell the truth: "Actually, I can smell the smell of Cordyceps, so I can find it much faster than you." Although your eyesight is great, you are not as good as me when you find this kind of thing that is basically buried in the ground. ”

Tian Xu said, took out a jade box from the space and handed it to Ziyan, and said, "It's much more convenient to use this than to use your hands." ”

Ziyan looked at the green jade box in Tian Xu's hand, and asked with some curiosity: "This is the box used to hold the elixir, right? ”

Tian Xu said with a smile: "Now the box is empty, even if you don't contain this cordyceps, there is no elixir to put it, so it can be regarded as waste utilization." ”

The two talked and laughed, and looked around for more than an hour, until the sun rose, and then stopped. Tian Xu found a lot of cordyceps, there are always hundreds or thousands. The weight of fresh cordyceps is not too small, adding up to several catties. Ziyan smiled: "If you dig like this, the cordyceps in this area will be dug up by you and extinct." ”

Tian Xu also smiled: "Yes, you have to stop in moderation, you have to leave some for others to dig up." Besides, we have to leave some for them to breed, right? Dig here today, stop digging. ”

Before you know it, the two have come a long way. When I came over, I was chasing Cordyceps and walking casually. When they went back to give birth, they stopped digging Cordyceps, so they walked in a straight line to the car in the distance.

After walking out for a while, Tian Xu suddenly made a "huh", turned around, and dug out another cordyceps from a very densely grown place. This cordyceps is a little special, the bug is bigger than other bugs, but there are seven small grasses on the insect's body, which looks a little weird. Not only that, Tian Xu touched it lightly with his hand, and the insect actually writhed gently, as if it was not dead.

Ziyan showed an unbearable look on his face, and said: "It's all like this, it's not dead yet, this worm has suffered a lot, it's so pitiful." ”

Tian Xu said: "This insect is actually dead. It's just that the nerve reflexes of its body are relatively special, and it still has some reflexes. This is a holy medicine-grade Cordyceps, a mid-grade human grade. ”

"Is there a holy medicine in Cordyceps?" Ziyan was a little curious, she had never heard of such a thing.

Cordyceps itself is special, and all the Cordyceps that can be used in medicine are secular elixirs, but the grades are different. It may be precisely for this reason that the spirituality in Cordyceps has been exhausted, and there is basically no one who can enter above the human level. Today, Tian Xu unexpectedly discovered this special human-level cordyceps, which made him happy for a while. At this time, when Ziyan asked, he told this truth.

Tian Xu let go of the olfactory imaging and searched around, hoping to find more Cordyceps, but to his helplessness, he never saw the second strain.

He regretfully put away the cordyceps and walked towards the camp with purple smoke.

Neither of them had eaten last night, and after a while of looking for cordyceps in the morning, they were both hungry. Ziyan ran in front, turning back to Tian Xu as she ran, "Hurry up, go back and make breakfast, my stomach is already so hungry that the front and back are together." You didn't even wake me up for dinner last night, it's so unusual. ”

Tian Xu himself was hungry, so he hurried back to the camp.

When they returned to the vicinity of the camp, they were surprised to find that there were people here. A young man in a jacket was walking around rubbing his hands next to their car, his anxiety palpable. At this time, seeing Tian Xu and Ziyan coming back, he shouted excitedly: "Great! We are trekkers who came here on a hike, a total of three people. Yesterday I met the bad guys on the hillside about a dozen kilometers west of this, and two of my companions were injured, can you help send them back to Sanjiangyuan City? Or help call the police, our mobile phones were snatched. ”

Tian Xu saw that the sleeves on both sides of his jacket were torn by sharp weapons, and his arms were wrapped in bandages, obviously injured. He glanced at Ziyan, saw Ziyan nodding, and said, "Yes." Wait a moment for me to put away my tent. ”

With that, he came to the car first, pretending to take out some food from the car to satisfy Ziyan's hunger. At the same time, he asked the person who came to ask for help, "Are you hungry?" ”

The man was obviously hungry, so he was not polite at the moment, so he took the cold steamed buns and ham sausages handed by Tian Xu and ate them.

On the way, Tian Xu asked about the origin of the incident, and the young traveler named Qingqing Zijin said: "The three of us came from the capital, and we are going to walk from the source of the three rivers to the Tanggula Pass. As a result, Cordyceps sinensis was unexpectedly found here. We each dug a few, and there were less than a hundred in total. ”

"Before the thunderstorm in the snowy mountain yesterday, I met a few locals who came here to dig Cordyceps. They were unlucky not to dig it, and when they saw that we were digging too much, they wanted to rob us, and said that this was their territory, and we were not allowed to dig it, so a fight broke out. ”

"Among the three of us, Happy Childhood is a retired special forces, and Salted Fish is a free fighting coach, thinking that his strength is not weak, but he didn't expect that only one person on the other side would shoot, and he would knock us all down in three or two strokes. Happy Childhood moved the knife in a fit of rage, but the knife was snatched by the other party and scratched us. Fortunately, the other party did not make a dead move, otherwise we would all be dead. ”

As he spoke, he quickly rushed to the place where the accident occurred, a three-person tent was supported by a small river, and Qingqing Zijin said, "It's that tent." My two companions are right there, and I've been out for a long time, and I don't know how they're doing now. "He's been out all night looking for help, and he's worried about the injuries of his two companions, who were badly injured yesterday.

Tian Xu's olfactory imaging had been released in advance, and he found that there were indeed two people in the tent, both of whom looked half-dead, but they definitely couldn't die. He was basically certain that it should be a cultivator who would attack them. It seems that he just wants to teach them a lesson, and he still has a measured shot.

However, Tian Xu could already be sure that if there were no professionals in the cultivation world to help him, the injuries of these two people should have been delayed for a long time, and their physical condition would not be good in the future.

Stopping the car and coming to the tent, Tian Xu saw the two injured people. The bloody qi on the two of them rushed straight to the end of their noses, and when they looked closely, the joint capsule of one person's right arm, wrist, elbow, and shoulder was cut in half, and the meridians of the other right leg were shaken to pieces, which must have been done by someone from the cultivation world.

At this time, Ziyan said: "It should be the hand of the local Blessed Land Sect." They basically control the Cordyceps mining industry north of Tanggula Mountain, and they are a branch of the weakened Western Buddhism, and their overall strength is not strong, and they can only be regarded as relatively weak in the middle of the sect. Their actions are somewhat evil, especially in the Cordyceps industry, which affects their monopoly, and they are resolutely unwilling to back down. However, they generally don't take the initiative to bully people, and their reputation is not bad. ”

Tian Xu also knew that ordinary cultivation sects would not clash with ordinary people, and even if there was a conflict, they would not use excessive force against ordinary people. These two people were injured like this, probably doing something that they couldn't forgive, the one who came to ask for help with the screen name Qingqing Zijin may not have fully stated the facts, at least some of the key issues that caused the conflict were hidden by him and did not say.

After Tian Xu looked at the wounds, he said to the three of them: "There is no problem in sending you to Sanjiangyuan City, but the injuries of the two of you are not something that ordinary hospitals can treat, and they will definitely leave extremely serious sequelae." You cannot afford to provoke those who hurt you. And it is obvious that they are still quite measured, otherwise it would not be this result. What is the reason for your conflict, it is better to tell me completely, and do not hide it, then I may be able to help you recover from your wounds, or you will have to fend for yourself. ”

The two men lying on the ground seemed to know the severity of their injuries, and the older one asked, "Can you cure our wounds?" ”

The other said: "Now that you have seen it, what else do we have to say? In fact, there is nothing to hide, just because of the conflict over the Cordyceps harvesting, they didn't let us dig Cordyceps here, and we thought that this was not anyone's land, they could dig it, so why couldn't we dig it? Later, we moved the guys and blackmailed them, and in a fit of rage, they made us like this. ”

Tian Xu shook his head and said: "If you have kung fu, you can easily do it and use force to solve the problem, which is not right in itself." It is a trivial matter, but it is even more wrong for you to use black hands on people in vain to try to harm other people's lives. Judging from the above two points, you either have a certain background and can be reconciled for hurting and killing people, or you are the kind of real evil people who regard other people's lives as a mustard. Now I ask you, have you realized your mistakes, and can you promise that you will not rely on force to oppress others in the future?"

Qingqing Zijin, who came to them for help, first said, "I can guarantee it." ”

Among the two lying on the ground, the one with the injured leg meridian agreed first, and then the one with the cut joint also said helplessly: "To be honest, I do have the two problems you said, anyway, now I regret it quite a lot." I also promise that if this injury can be cured this time, I will definitely not seek revenge on those people in the future, and I will no longer bully others. ”

Tian Xu said: "Actually, I don't care if you keep your oath in the future, as for whether you come to find those people to take revenge, it's none of my business, anyway, those people won't be afraid of you." However, I can remind you that after I have healed your injuries this time, if you do those bullying things again, you will be punished by heaven, and the consequences will be much more serious than this injury, so you just remember. ”
