Chapter 114: A Thousand Years of Joining the King
Changbai Mountain, known as the 'Roof of the Northeast', is located in the southeast of present-day Jilin Province. Changbai Mountain has a long and cold winter, a short cool summer, a windy spring, and a foggy autumn. Baiyun Peak, the highest peak of Changbai Mountain, has the reputation of 'thousand-year-old snow-covered pine, straight to the first peak in the world'.
Liang Jing and his entourage took Lu Ping for thousands of miles, and it has been half a year since they arrived at Changbai Mountain. In order to find the traces of thousand-year-old ginseng, everyone continued to go deep into Changbai Mountain, and at this time they had climbed to the halfway point of Baiyun Peak. Everywhere they went, several of them spent days searching the mountains. But half a year has passed, and although a lot of wild ginseng has been harvested, none of them are a thousand years old.
Lu Ping's meridians were blocked by the Yin and Cold True Qi, and his strong True Qi was trapped in the dantian and was not used. At the same time, the evil fire in the body is constantly breeding due to the cultivation of the 'Wood Buddha Fist Sutra'. makes Lu Ping have to endure endless torment every day. Fortunately, Lu Ping obtained part of the content of the Shaolin Yijin Sutra, and continuously dispersed the evil fire from the limbs by moving the meridians and turning the veins, so that the evil fire would not accumulate in the body.
Lu Ping has been tormented by the evil fire in his body for half a year, and his strong body has become skinny at this moment. However, Lu Ping's firmness of will is also extremely rare, and he needs to endure great suffering in his body every day, but Lu Ping has not suffered a word for half a year**.
Liang Jing takes care of Lu Ping meticulously. A palace master of Biyou Palace who has been taken care of by others since he was a child. At the moment, he takes care of Lu Ping, but he does everything himself, and everything is meticulous.
Halfway up Baiyun Peak, a few people found a leeward place, set up a simple tent, and temporarily settled down.
Searching for thousand-year-old ginseng is a meticulous job, and several people have no experience, so they have to take a carpet search to find it everywhere.
Xiaoyi, jade pen, and golden flute are the main forces in the search, and Liang Jing is responsible for taking care of Lu Ping in the tent.
In the past six months, Xiaoyi has been shuttling among the plants and trees on this Changbai Mountain every day, carefully searching for traces of thousand-year-old ginseng one by one. There are many fierce beasts and poisons in the mountains, and the weather is often changeable, and the fog and cold wind bring a lot of inconvenience to the search work. It's been half a year, and the hard work has still not yielded, but Xiaoyi is not discouraged.
Lu Ping is the eldest brother in Xiaoyi's mind, a big brother who is not related to him but can protect himself at all costs. From the moment she was sheltered by Lu Ping at the foot of Wudang Mountain, Xiaoyi had already regarded Lu Ping as her dear person in her heart.
A person who can abandon herself for her, a person who has a straight waist in the face of all difficulties and does not let go of a trace of dignity, and a hero whom she recognizes. Lu Ping, the difficulties he faced, Xiaoyi was willing to share it for him, and there was no reason.
I have been looking for ginseng for more than half a year and a thousand years, and Xiaoyi knows in her heart that the longer the ginseng grows, the more dangerous it is, and the more difficult it is for people to reach.
Xiaoyi approached the steep cliff as usual. At this moment, they were in the middle of Baiyun Peak, and there was already some snow and thin ice on the ground.
Xiaoyi arrived near the cliff and looked out of the cliff, only to see a cloud below, but not the scenery at the bottom of the mountain. Xiaoyi's heart was slightly cold, and he moved his gaze to the cliff again.
The cliff here is 100 meters wide, with an abyss below and a height of several tens of meters upward. Xiaoyi looked carefully, and she had to look carefully at every plant that grew on the cliff.
Just more than 70 meters across the cliff, in the mist, it is almost the limit of Xiaoyi's eyesight.
In a depression in the cliff, a purple berry popped up. At first glance, Xiaoyi didn't react much. Most of the fruits on the ginseng seedlings were red, and when I saw the purple berry coat, I thought it was just the fruit of a strange plant. But when you can see a few leaves emerging from the edge of the fruit. Xiaoyi was startled, and then looked at it carefully for a moment.
The breeze swayed gently, and the berries swayed, and Xiaoyi could see some of the saplings of the plant. Ginseng seedlings, vaguely you can see that the seedlings are not long, but the stems are extremely thick. It was definitely two or three times the stem of the oldest five-hundred-year-old ginseng seedling she had ever seen.
Xiaoyi's heart is frightened, and it is a great joy. Look at the thin ice on the cliff and the bottomless cliff bottom. Xiaoyi took a deep breath, took out a whistle from his pocket, and blew it in his mouth.
Not long after, the jade pen and the golden flute came one after another. Xiaoyi excitedly pointed out the ginseng seedlings to them, and the two of them saw them, and after confirming that they were ginseng seedlings, they were both overjoyed.
As soon as the three of them discussed, they decided to pull the rope and climb to the cliff wall to dig out the thousand-year-old ginseng.
It didn't take long for the three of them to form a long rope. Fu Bi tied one end of a long rope to his waist, and Fu Di fixed the other end to a big tree.
After making sure that the rope is firm, it is ready to move towards the cliff. At this time, Liang Jing arrived. She heard the signal from Xiaoyi and came to find it, but because of the distance, she came later.
After Liang Jing heard about the situation, the three of them watched Fu Bi climb towards the cliff together.
The place where the ginseng seedling was located was a depression in the cliff wall, and everyone could only see the exposed ginseng seedlings and the purple fruit on it from a distance, but they could not see the situation inside the depression clearly.
As the pen approached, at a distance of more than ten meters from the depression. A small brown-black creature suddenly poked its head out of the depression. Looking at the approaching Fu Pen, the little animal raised its head, revealing the golden fur on its neck. A pair of eyes stared at Fu Bi vigilantly, and then cracked out a few teeth.
Everyone saw a trace of black liquid flowing through the white teeth. Liang Jing was shocked, pulled the rope, and quickly pulled the pen back. Seeing the pen retreat, the animal stretched out its sharp claws and waved them at the crowd, and then retreated into the hollow.
Liang Jing was shocked: "It's a sable king with golden chest hair and black teeth." This sable king's mouth is poisonous, and if a person is poisoned by the sable king, he will die for life. ”
Xiaoyi was anxious when he heard this: "Then what should I do, this sable king occupies a favorable position, how can we pick that thousand-year-old ginseng." ”
Liang Jing replied: "Don't worry, this sable king feeds on meat, we just have to wait here." When it leaves to hunt, go and get the ginseng. ”
At that moment, everyone harvested on the edge of this cliff, and after half an hour, they saw a big bird flying towards the cliff. After circling for a while, aim for the ginseng fruit to fall. Everyone was shocked, and it was obvious that the big bird had taken a fancy to the thousand-year-old ginseng and wanted to peck at it.
Just when the big bird was about to approach the ginseng fruit. A black light flashed in everyone's eyes, and the sable was faster than lightning. Grab the big bird in its claws, then open its mouth to eat.
Everyone saw that the thousand-year-old ginseng had not been pecked by the big bird, and they had a false alarm. But then I got worried again. It turned out that this sable king used the thousand-year-old ginseng as a bait, guarded the left and right, and when he encountered an animal that came to eat ginseng or ginseng fruit, he pounced on it.
Liang Jing and the others wanted to wait for the sable king to leave to pounce on the food before picking ginseng, but they were stillborn. As long as this sable king is guarding this ginseng, there will be a steady stream of food delivered to its mouth, and there is no need to leave.
Liang Jing and the others had no choice but to let Xiaoyi and Fu Di guard here. At the same time, Liang Jing and Fu Bi went to find meat, and planned to put anesthetics in the meat, and then collect ginseng after pouring the sable king hemp.
