Chapter Eighty-Four: The Team

Bai Ya was not alone in entering the mountain this time, in addition to following his bronze corpse Bai Tong again, he also followed more than a dozen hired guides and hunters, medicine farmers and men. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you want to find the traces of the tiger in the vast mountains, a guide and hunter are indispensable, and the White Cliff is pressed for time, so it is natural to take advantage of all the conditions that can be used. As for the medicine farmer and the bearer, it was the suggestion of the shopkeeper of the Xinyue Inn.

The old shopkeeper rushed to the heavy money given by Bai Ya, and suggested that since he was not short of money and had already brought a few guides and hunters into the mountain, it was better to simply bring a few more medicine farmers and bearers.

Although the overall vitality of heaven and earth in this Yaoshan is not strong enough, some sections of the soil are special, and there are still some plants of the level of heaven and earth treasures. Among them, there are three most famous: Dendrobium nobile nobilis, Ganoderma lucidum and bridge grass.

Among these three kinds of natural treasures, Ganoderma lucidum and bridge grass are nothing. These two are only qualified to serve as natural treasures only if the year is sufficient, but the first type of dendrobium is a fork.

Bai Ya had never heard of this kind of thing in his previous life, ginseng, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, this kind of herbal supplement is very famous, but there are not many people who have heard of Dendrobium.

In this life, he still knew this thing from Tang Hunt's mouth, Tang Hunt worshiped in the Medicine King Valley, and usually popularized the knowledge of heaven and earth treasures to a few good brothers, including Dendrobium nobile nobilis.

In fact, Dendrobium nobile is a treasure among treasures in the past and present life of Baiya, and it ranks first among the nine immortal grasses in China!

What are the nine great immortal grasses in China, the famous Tianshan Snow Lotus is one of them, ranking second. The third place is ginseng with more than three or two years, the fourth is Shou Wu with more than 120 years old, the fifth is Poria cocos, the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum ranks seventh, and Cordyceps sinensis is only the ninth at the end.

Such a list is enough to reveal the preciousness of Dendrobium!

Bai Ya didn't do anything secret when he entered the mountain this time, just looking for tigers, so he was kind and hired a few experienced medicine farmers.

Since there were four guides and hunters and three medicine farmers, and he had to stay in the mountains for a long time, he simply asked the innkeeper to hire four sturdy men, who were responsible for the food and luggage.

In this way, with the addition of Bai Ya and Bai Tong, a total of thirteen people entered the mountain.

"Childe, what a sign!"

As soon as the group climbed a hill, an old medicine farmer walked over with a hedgehog-shaped sword plant in his hand.

"What's that?"

Bai Ya felt that this thing was a bit similar to the thatched artemisia, which he had seen when he was a cook in Liangzhou before, it was a wild vegetable, in addition to being used to feed pigs, it could occasionally be used as a condiment.

This is because artemisia has the effect of cleansing the stomach and intestines, and can change the taste of nobles who have eaten too much chicken, duck and fish. It's just like the rich second generation in Baiya's previous life, spending a lot of money to eat wild vegetables in the mountains.

"Cross the bridge grass, it's a pity that the year is still too shallow!" the old medicine farmer smashed his mouth and said regretfully.

Hearing him say this, the hunters and bearers next to him also looked curiously.

"This is the bridge crossing grass?" Bai Ya was surprised, "Didn't you say that this bridge crossing grass is one of the three treasures of Yaoshan Mountain, how can it be found everywhere?"

"It's not everywhere, it's our luck!"

The old medicine farmer frowned and scolded, it was a shame that Bai Ya was not his medicine boy, otherwise an ear scraper would have slapped it over. Is it easy for him to come to offer treasures, but he is still disliked.

"Oh, that's the price we originally agreed upon!"

"Childe, didn't you say before that if you find herbs that can cure internal injuries and oozing blood, you will boil them directly for you to drink? This bridge grass has the effect of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis and dissolving internal injuries......" The old medicine farmer saw that he looked disapproving, his beard was crooked, and he immediately gave the bridge grass a grunch.

"Then let's try the medicine later!"

Although Bai Ya muttered in his heart, since he asked someone to help collect medicine, this trust still had to be given.

As the sun rose, the group had already walked through the outer hills, and they could be regarded as entering the true realm of Yaoshan Mountain. Along the way, there were three medicine farmers, and they really found a lot of medicinal materials.

Of course, they are just ordinary herbs, and the old medicine farmer before was right, the bridge grass is not everywhere. It was luck to be able to find such a plant on the periphery.

However, herbs are herbs, and some other things that everyone likes even more, that is, kiwifruit. Yaoshan produces kiwifruit, and it is juicy, so that everyone eats it with gusto.

"Xu Shan, how long will it take to get to Tongtianmen?"

Bai Ya looked at the vast mountain, and turned around to recruit Xu Shan, the leader of the four hunters, who was also the main guide of the mountain this time. Xu Shan is about 30 years old, with a Chinese face of purple sandalwood and muscular muscles, and is a famous hunter in the Pheasant City area.

"Childe, at our speed, we will definitely not be able to reach Tongtianmen before nightfall, so it is better to walk steadily. ”

Xu Shan has a calm personality, and with his personal intentions, he generally will not take this kind of business that goes deep into Yaoshan. As an old hunter, he knew that even if there were no brute beasts in Yaoshan, some mutated beasts in the deep mountains were not something that a few hunters could deal with.

It's just that Bai Ya gave twenty taels of gold, and it was given in advance, which was enough for his children to read and write in the future, so even if this business would kill him, he couldn't resist.

In fact, several hunters other than him, including the medicine farmer, are also in this situation, and their wealth is moving. Gold is just something outside the body, but it is everything to them, including the future of their children and grandchildren.

"Then stop for a while, let everyone rest and recuperate!" Bai Ya was as kind as a stream, and asked a few guys to find an open space to cook on the fire.

He still had the ability to pick these hunters, and after the team stopped, in a few moments, they hunted a few hares and a roe deer, which gave everyone another meal.

Bai Ya tore the barbecue, drank the herbs boiled by the bridge grass, and thought about entering the mountain this time.

Yaoshan Tongtianmen is a natural danger, here the two peaks are opposite, the stone cliff is precipitous, the cliff is ten thousand, there is the tendency of "Tianmen is interrupted", so it is called Tongtianmen. Here is an important symbol to distinguish the inside and outside of Yaoshan Mountain, after this Tongtian Gate, it is really into Yaoshan, not the periphery of the mountain range.

At the same time, after passing through the Tongtian Gate, it is a sparsely populated place, and the interior of Yaoshan is not a barbaric domain, but it can be regarded as the edge of the barbaric domain.

This means that their situation is no longer safe, and they can be attacked by mutated beasts at any time, which is the real reason why White Cliff needs to pay a lot of money to hire a guide.

Because crossing the Tongtian Gate, for ordinary people such as Xu Shan, it is equivalent to entering the Ghost Gate. "Gate to Heaven" also means a gateway to the outer heavens, a world that only the dead can go to.

When you arrive at the Tongtian Gate, White Cliff will have people build a small wooden house here as a contact point.

In addition to the hunters and medicine farmers, the men introduced by several inns can go back after unloading their things here, and they only need to send supplies in every few days.

In addition, if Meng Lao Orion sent someone to find Bai Ya, they had to come in immediately to deliver the letter, and this contact point was actually set up to facilitate Meng Lao Orion to find him.

As for Bai Ya and the others, their whereabouts were uncertain after they crossed the Tongtian Gate, mainly to see if they could find the trace of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The speed of going to Tongtianmen was a little slower than Xu Shan expected, after all, he was not alone, and there were a few guys who didn't often go into the deep mountains to slow down the speed of the entire team.

"Is this the Gate of Heaven, it is really majestic and magnificent!"

However, by noon the next day, they still saw the two steep peaks that stood in front of them like door gods.

From a distance, it is almost impossible to see the path between the two peaks. If it weren't for the weeds that grew tall during the period, the green color was different from the gray rocks of the mountain peaks, it would have been really hard to see.

"Childe, where do you want to build your storage cabin?"

The men hired at the inn were overjoyed, and when they arrived, they could go back to a humble hut.

"Over there!" Bai Ya pointed to a stone platform halfway up the mountain peak on the left, "It's better to have a higher position, otherwise you will send it over next time, and the wooden house will be vulnerable to wild beasts on flat ground." ”

A few men were busy cutting down trees and building houses, but Bai Ya and the others did not continue to stay, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, they directly crossed the Tongtian Gate and set off towards the interior of Yaoshan Mountain.

After the Tongtian Gate, there is no longer a formed mountain road in Yaoshan Mountain, and there is a green and secluded mountain forest everywhere.

At the foot of the white cliff was waist-high weeds, and above his head was a dense canopy, even the noon sun seemed to be much gentler, and the temperature was directly several degrees lower, even making him feel the moisture rising from the ground.

Bai Ya originally thought that it would be a burden to bring so many people into the mountain, but now looking at the few hunters in front of him, he only felt that he was extremely wise. Without these people, he would have lost his way in this place in less than half a day.

There is no GPS and Beidou in this world, although you can use the astrolabe to find the direction, but that is a technical job, how can Bai Ya have the spare time to learn the astrolabe in Qingcheng.

In the depths of Yaoshan Mountain, everyone's concept of time has faded a lot, and three days have passed almost in the blink of an eye.

And Bai Ya was a little tired, but he still felt no different from when he first came in. It was still those scenes around him anyway, and he didn't know how far he had gone.

"Childe, we haven't been able to find any trace of the tiger in the past few days, and then we must go one by one!"

It's just that Bai Ya didn't feel it, it doesn't mean that the four hunters didn't feel it, Xu Shan found Bai Ya on the morning of the fourth day and solemnly explained a thing to him.

"What do you mean by marching in one by one?" asked Bai Ya blankly.

"Going from house to house is to build a grass shed as a base every day or two, and then search the surroundings before moving forward. Xu Shan said cautiously.

"Why do you have to do this?" Bai Ya frowned, isn't it a waste of time to build a grass and wood shed every day or two?

"Because no one knows the next road, and if you don't build a grass and wood shed as a base, you may not be able to go back in the future!"

Xu Shan pointed ahead and said with a wry smile, "Except for those high and high immortals in this world, no one else has ever set foot in this place where we are now, even if I wait for the old hunters, I would not dare to move forward before!"
