Chapter 302: Fog Barrier Mountain Range
"Patriarch, we're back!" Ling Fei and Lu Ce said on one knee and clenched their fists.
"What about Yu'er, why didn't you see him come back?" the Ling family patriarch glanced at everyone and said in a stern tone.
"Patriarch, young master, he was unfortunately killed!" Ling Fei stammered, and Lu Ce also wiped his tears with his sleeve, looking very sad.
"What's going on?" the patriarch's face changed dramatically.
Ling Yu was his youngest son and his favorite son, and when he heard that his most proud son was killed, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and extreme sadness struck, and he was speechless for a while.
After a while, when he came back to his senses, Ling Fei and Lu Ce told the two of them about the situation, including the soldiers to check the situation on the island in two ways, and then the poisonous snake attacked the young master, and the two of them had no choice but to go to the two of them for help as soon as possible, but the two of them were also attacked and poisoned, and when they were rescued to find the young master, they found that the person was gone.
The finch nodded yes and described the scene again.
In the end, Ling Fei and the three called Xiang Yihang to testify, saying that if Xiang Yihang had not rescued them, the two of them would have died long ago.
The patriarch was skeptical, and the three of them recounted that there were many doubts, such as why Que Er went to Ling Fei and Lu Ce first, and why they didn't call the people on the boat to support first. For example, Ling Fei and the two were also bitten by snakes, why didn't the poisonous snake eat the two of them, etc.
But living on the seashore, there are many birds, animals, insects and snakes around them, and no one can know what the poisonous snakes want to bite people.
In addition, he knew his son's situation and knew his son's father, some thoughts flashed in his heart, and he could understand that his son and Que'er were exploring the way together, so he didn't say anything more, but he still looked at Que'er a few times.
In the end, after confirming that the snake venom on Ling Fei and Lu Ce was indeed unsolved, the Ling family patriarch couldn't help but fall silent, believing most of it in his heart.
He knows that his son has always been the idea of fighting the birds, and he also knows his son's ability, and he is most satisfied with this youngest son, who is not only a talent, but also smart and clever, and likes to plan and then act, if he really wants to take advantage of the birds, the birds cannot turn the tables, but they don't even dare to complain.
And Ling Fei Lu Ce is Yu'er's confidant, and it is impossible to harm his son.
He also suspected Xiang Yihang, but according to Ling Fei and Lu Ce's description, Xiang Yihang had been living on the island for a long time, and he had no motive to do anything to his son, and if he did, he would not only do it to his son.
It's just that he never imagined that Finch would dare to kill his son, if he had known that Finch had such a decisive and ruthless side under her weak exterior, he would have suspected Finch a long time ago.
Looking at the sword left by his son in his hand, the Ling family was silent for a long time.
"Sir, are you a doctor?" As the patriarch, Ling Punctuality still had the basic concentration, and after forcibly suppressing the pain in his heart, he turned his head and asked Xiang Yihang.
"Just a little bit of it. Xiang Yihang said casually.
"I don't know where the gentleman came from, and where is he going?" the patriarch continued to ask.
"Travel everywhere, be safe with what you encounter!" Xiang Yihang remained silent.
Seeing that Xiang Yihang's answer was not leaky, and the wind was light, the patriarch didn't seem to have any interest in their affairs here, so he extinguished his suspicions.
Moreover, Xiang Yihang travels everywhere, he must have something to rely on, and he is a small clan, and he does not dare to offend this kind of master who has traveled through the border too much.
That night, Xiang Yihang was arranged in an independent courtyard on the edge of the tun, and the person responsible for delivering food to Xiang Yihang turned out to be Qi'er and another woman of about the same age, named Fang'er, with good facial features, but not as graceful as Qi'er.
In order to treat the snake venom, Ling Fei and Lu Ce visited overnight, and the snake venom was basically cured.
The next day, the Ling family held a funeral for Ling Yu. In Zhaishaping, as long as the clansmen who die at sea, they will hold a funeral, but as the son of the patriarch, it is naturally more grand.
Xiang Yihang observed that the living standards of the three ethnic groups in Zhaishaping are not bad, they can be regarded as having enough food and clothing, and everyone is healthy, and they are rarely sick in bed.
Xiang Yihang guessed that this might have something to do with the abundance of aura in this realm, so people were also strong.
Because the patriarch's son Ling Yu had been confirmed to have died at sea, not man-made, the Ling family quickly resumed normal production and life.
The other two families in Zhaishaping are surnamed Feng and Liang, respectively, and the number of people is about the same as that of the Ling family, and the standard of living is also comparable.
On the third day, Xiang Yihang, accompanied by Que Er and Xue'er, visited Zhaishaping.
Xiang Yihang found that Zhaishaping is indeed a very good place, there is the sea in front of it, the spring flowers are blooming, and behind the stockade, there are continuous mountains, called the Fog Barrier Mountains, the reason why it is called the Fog Barrier Mountains, the reason is very simple, because after reaching a certain height, the miasma on the mountain is getting thicker, and after people enter, the light ones become mentally retarded, and the heavy ones lose their lives.
Therefore, a fog barrier isolates the way to hunt in the mountains of Zhaishaping, because hunting in the mountains is more dangerous than fishing in the sea.
But in the late autumn of each year, the people of the three families of Zhaishaping still join forces to enter the Fog Barrier Mountain Range to find the elixir and spirit fruit, which is a major project that must be there every year, and Zhaishaping can have no worries about food and clothing, largely because it is the early winter to go up the mountain to pick the elixir and spirit fruit and take it to the nearby market town to sell.
"Miss Finch, in this way, as long as you are a villager near the Fog Barrier Mountain Range, your life is very rich, right?" Xiang Yihang asked casually.
"Sir, it's not that we are boasting, in the eastern section of the Wuji Mountain Range, our life in Zhaishaping is the richest?" said Que'er with a smile on her face.
"Then don't the other villages go up the mountain to collect elixir?" Xiang Yihang said as he looked at the misty mountains in the distance.
"That's not true, it's just that the elixir they collected, the price is not high, and the same kind of elixir, the one we collect here is more than ten times more expensive than other places. Finch said with a little pride.
"Why is this?" Xiang Yihang looked at the finch and asked with a little curiosity.
"It is said that the elixir we collect here can refine higher-level elixirs, but we don't know exactly how, we only know that every late autumn, there are many traders who come to the village to buy elixirs at a high price. ”
"Won't people from other places come to dig up the elixir with you?" Xiang Yihang felt even more strange.
"It's not that they haven't robbed it, it's just that they can't go into the depths of the fog barrier. Que'er said a little mysteriously, Xiang Yihang is her life-saving benefactor, so she basically knows everything.
"Could it be that there is any secret in it?" Xiang Yihang asked seemingly casually.
Que'er glanced at Fang'er and saw that Fang'er had no expression, so she said: "Quietly tell Mr. that in order to enter the depths of the fog barrier, you must have enough high-grade white Karasuma, and people in other places, they have no raw materials, they can only refine ordinary white Karasuma, so they can't grab it if they want to." ”
According to Que'er, the white Karasuma is composed of two raw materials, one is a sea fish called Bailu, and the other is produced in the depths of the fog barrier in the Fog Barrier Mountain Range, called Black Ling.
In other words, only by collecting black lings in the depths of the fog barrier can you refine white black pills, and with white black pills, you can collect more black pills, which is a cycle.
But what's worse is that Zhai Shaping doesn't know when to start, and it is strictly forbidden for black Ling to enter the market, and over time, the surrounding villages don't know about the existence of black Ling at all, and they can't talk about refining high-grade white black pills.
As for why Qi'er and Fang'er knew this secret, Xiang Yihang didn't know, and they didn't say it.
Xiang Yihang guessed that if the patriarch knew that Qi'er had leaked this secret to him, he would probably be convicted of treason and executed.
"Such a big secret, you two leaked it to me, aren't you afraid of being punished by the clan?" said Xiang Yihang with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Finch and Fang'er glanced at each other, but Finch said, "There are just three of us here, and I believe that Mr. will never betray us sisters." In fact, Mr. doesn't know, I and Fang'er, and Xia'er are the best sisters, because we have no parents since we were children, so we have depended on each other since childhood, Mr. not only saved me, but also allowed me to avenge Xia'er, Que'er and Fang'er have nothing to repay Mr., and can only say that some secrets in the clan are known to Mr. If it were someone else, we wouldn't have said it if we had killed it. ”
Xiang Yihang listened to Que'er's words, and his heart was clear, this is because the patriarch's son killed Xue'er, and he also wanted to spoil Que'er, if it wasn't for Xiang Yihang's appearance, Que'er might have gone to Huangquan like Xia'er.
Since the Ling family is unkind, don't blame them for their injustice, with the wisdom of the patriarch, Xia'er was killed, it is impossible not to see any clues, and even the investigation was not investigated, only that they were killed by the prey, so now Que'er and Fang'er no longer regard the Ling family as their own support.
In Xiang Yihang's view, these two women will sooner or later break away from the Ling family and walk out of Zhaishaping.
Xiang Yihang sighed, no matter where there are, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are fights, there are unfairness, there are grievances, this is reasonable, and it is applicable everywhere.
The two women reciprocated him, and he accepted their kindness, and he decided that he might as well help them if necessary.
"When is the time to enter the Fog Barrier Mountain Range this year?" Xiang Yihang asked quietly.
"It's autumn now, so it's not far off!" replied this time.
Xiang Yihang's heart moved, perhaps, he would also go in at that time.
Under the detailed explanation of the two women, Xiang Yihang knew that in this world, mortals can also do alchemy, but those who can do alchemy are also rare, because they require special talents, and ordinary people can't learn it.
In addition, this world, that is, in Zhaishaping, generally learns martial arts, and all have a certain foundation in martial arts. As for the cultivation of qi, there is basically none, and there is no way to learn from a teacher.
From this, Xiang Yihang further speculated that this place should be a very remote place, a real mountain, and the aura of this world was so strong, he would not be stupid enough to think that there was no cultivation civilization in this universe.
Thinking of Xiuzhen, Xiang Yihang really wanted to leave here immediately to find the Xiuzhen sect under the starry sky, but his cultivation was too low now, and he couldn't even fly the sword, so he could only come step by step.
On the fourth day, Xiang Yihang was cultivating, and the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Xiang Yihang looked at it, and it turned out to be the Ling family patriarch and the two clan elders visiting.
