Chapter 4 The Ruined Medicine Field
As they went deeper, the two gradually discovered that some scattered footprints left by people and animals spread all the way to the depths of the woods. It was as if there was some magic that drew them deeper and deeper.
I've never been to this mountain before, and I didn't feel anything from a distance, but now that I came here, I realized that this mountain was not ordinarily big, and the more I walked inside, the more I felt the silence. Only at the beginning was still a bush, a grove. The further you go inside, the trees get bigger and bigger, as if in a dream from last night. Everywhere reveals the strange and unpredictable. Looking at the towering peaks in the distance, Zhang Xiaolong felt the insignificance of human beings in front of nature, and became more and more curious about mysterious things.
The Shu Mountain in folklore is the area of Sichuan County, and the legend says that all of the Shu Mountains are sword immortals. Zhang Xiaotian has heard of these legends a lot.
Unconsciously, Zhang Xiaotian and the two of them have been walking for more than 2 hours, and there is still no one. At their current speed, they have already walked almost 15 kilometers, and they are already completely in the mountains, and about half of the time they are uphill. There is no trace of the county seat anymore.
"Xiaolong, what do you think about this?" Zhang Xiaotian asked thoughtfully. Although he knew that it was in vain to ask, there was no one to talk to at this time.
"Well, how can I say it, I think it's weird here, we should leave as soon as possible, if we wait until it's getting dark, maybe we'll get lost, you think about it, it's dark here at night, maybe there will be dirty things......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a thud not far ahead. The sudden sound startled him.
Before Zhang Xiaolong could calm down, he saw Zhang Xiaotian quickly running towards the sound, and he had no choice but to run forward with him. Who calls yourself cowardly? I don't know what to do if I'm alone.
With a burst of wild running, after climbing 2 small hills, a relatively flat terrain appeared in front of the two brothers.
A huge stone monument fell to the ground. The sound response just now must have been made by the stone monument falling to the ground. Around the stele is overgrown with a variety of unknown plants.
Zhang Xiaotian looked around, and could vaguely find that the place was divided into many small pieces, as if they were used for planting something. Now the place is overgrown with weeds, and it is impossible to tell what it is for. After approaching the stele, I found that there were some words and patterns on the stele that I couldn't understand, which was estimated to be ancient text. As for the text of what period it is, Zhang Xiaotian can't tell. I had to take out my mobile phone and take a picture of it, ready to go back to study and study.
"Brother Tian, come here. Zhang Xiaotian shouted on the other side.
"Did you find anything?"
"You just need to come and see, No, you see this is Purple Star Grass. I read it in my uncle's Chinese medicine book before. This medicinal herb is very rare, basically wild, so far no one has been able to grow it artificially, you see such a large area here. It's worth a lot, haha, I didn't expect to find a treasure in the mountains this time. Zhang Xiaolong's face was full of excitement.
"Wait, don't you say I haven't thought of it yet, so it seems to be a medicine field here. Look at the surrounding area, although overgrown with weeds, but vaguely can be seen that it is distributed very regularly, looking at the stone tablet should be a mark to record this medicine field or distinguish the medicinal materials in this medicine field. It's a pity that we don't understand ancient Chinese for a long time. It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. ”
"Whatever! I only know that we have made a fortune this time, haha, so many purple star grasses must be worth a lot of money, but I don't know how to save this thing, if it is good to call the uncle, he has a hand on these things. Or we'll go back and find a few people to get this place. Zhang Xiaolong rubbed his palms awkwardly.
"Don't worry, haven't you noticed that no one has been to this place before?
"There must be something around here that we haven't found, and we'll look around. You don't want to think about the people who came in before, and the dogs that came in? I think it's so strange in this mountain that you have to see what it's all about. Otherwise, I can't let go of it. ”
"I don't know why, when I come to this place, I always feel like something is calling me. I can't tell. Let's go further and have a look!" Zhang Xiaolong said undoubtedly.
"Okay, I'm scared of you, but first of all, we must get him back with the purple star grass here. Zhang Xiaolong was afraid that Zhang Xiaotian would forget about it.
Zhang Xiaotian waved his hand, "Okay, okay." Let's take a look at it first!" and then looked around and walked in that direction. After choosing the direction, he walked in front of the dilapidated medicine field. Zhang Xiaolong followed weakly.
It's strange to say, they have been in the mountain for so long, except for the discovery of this medicine field, other people, dogs, animals, and nothing have seen a shadow. I didn't even hear the birds.
This made Zhang Xiaotian, who originally felt that something was calling him, more curious, and more eager to understand and know the truth. That's how strange people are.
After walking for a few minutes, Zhang Xiaotian found a place suspected to be a medicine field, but it was still dilapidated, and no stone tablets were found around. "It seems that the medicine fields here are connected, and it is estimated that the entrance to the medicine fields was just now. But why doesn't anyone else pass by here?" I wondered, but I wanted to find out. Zhang Xiaotian continued to walk forward......
The two of them kept walking forward, but they didn't notice that the dilapidated medicine field behind them began to blur, if there were other people here at this time, they would only see a lush forest, what medicine field was there?
As if it was destined in the dark, only Zhang Xiaotian would discover the existence here......
