Chapter 35: Collecting Herbs

Jiang Jiutian secretly thought, it is probably because the place where he is going is so tortuous and hidden that it is difficult to reach, so that the herb can be preserved forever, and he has the opportunity to pick it now.

After walking through the most difficult section, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a small valley with flowing water. The valley is mostly green grass and shrubs, and it is relatively bright without the deep roots and lush leaves that shaded the sky and the sun before.

Seeing the valley, Li Yidong stopped and reminded everyone to pay attention, first of all, they should pay attention to protecting themselves, and their own safety comes first. I also explained the detailed terrain route in this valley and the location of the medicinal herb.

Thinking about the road blocked by trees, vines and thorns, and then looking at the terrain of this small valley, the old hunter Jiang Dazhuang thought that if the herb had something to protect the fierce beast, the fierce beast could never be a tiger, a lion, a jackal, or something like that, nor could it be an eagle or a vulture, and the most likely thing was a python or a snake. Other fierce beasts generally have a strong sense of territory, and they should come out to demonstrate before anyone approaches the herbs, and Li Yidong will not be without a face when he comes so many times. And the snake is insidious, it takes advantage of your defenselessness to bite you coldly, its fangs want your life, and if you don't see the opportunity, it will lie in ambush and never show up.

Everyone walked forward along the stream, Jiang Dazhuang observed the surrounding grass attentively while walking, and after walking for a while, he pointed to the winding traces in the grass and told everyone that there were indeed snakes in this valley, and there were many snakes. If the one guarding the herb is really a snake that has opened some wisdom and cultivated a little, maybe all the snakes in this valley are its children and grandchildren.

Everyone else got goosebumps when they were provoked by Jiang Dazhuang's words, not because they were afraid of anything, but because snakes were slippery, cold and often fanged, which made people feel a little disgusting and frightened when they thought about it. Li Yidong thought that he had come and gone so many times in the past, and it was likely that he was walking around in the snake's nest, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Everyone turned on the qi machine to protect their bodies, and did not follow the stream in the grass, but used light body techniques one after another, clinging to the mountain wall, and from time to time with the light of their feet and borrowing strength, and rushed forward. Jiang Dazhuang himself didn't respond to this, but seeing that everyone was like this, he also followed the crowd and followed the crowd along the mountain wall.

After turning two bends along the mountain wall, everyone stopped with Li Yidong. I saw a large crack in the mountain wall in front of me, and a large stream of water flowed down the crack from the mountain, which was the source of the stream in the small valley. Soil and rocks accumulate in the cracks, and vegetation is luxuriant. There are many platforms protruding outwards on the mountain walls on both sides of the crack, and there are even trees on the larger platforms that look like they are not too old. The green color is verdant, and the flowers are embellished, but it is also a good scenery.

Following Li Yidong's instructions, everyone looked and looked, and finally got a clear look at the kind of herbs to be picked. There was a large clump of herbs, located on top of a pile of earth and rocks in the middle of the crack. The mound of earth and rocks was overgrown with grass and nourished by the surrounding water, and it grew extremely luxuriantly. However, the other grasses and the herbs to be picked seem to look the same, with slender and long leaves, which look ordinary. After Li Yidong repeatedly emphasized, the others understood that the original large area was not all herbs to be picked.

Everyone planted some expulsion charms around the cracks, so that those ordinary insects, snakes, birds and beasts would come over to find death when waiting for the medicine to be collected. The expected grass protection beast has not seen a shadow yet, so it doesn't care about it for now, just be careful and start collecting medicine first.

Li Yidong had to go into battle for the medicine itself, and he could only go into battle by himself. This kind of herb can't be directly studied, in that case, the herb will be dead and useless, and it won't be wasted. It is necessary to use a special method of collecting herbs, clamping the stem of the herb with a jade stick, and the luck is quickly raised, together with the whole plant of the roots, and then put it in a jade box for preservation. According to Li Yidong, he deliberately went to learn this method of collecting medicine from the people in the medicine garden, and it took a lot of work. Well, for the sake of the wild herb Zhujidan, Li Yidong is also very hard.

Jiang Jiutian, Jiang Dazhuang, Geng Feihua, and Li Feng stood around the place where the crack herbs were located, guarding and guarding. Li Yidong jumped lightly, jumped to the position of the pile of earth and stones, and performed a light body technique, tapping two stones on the tip of his toes, and did not exert any force down. The pile of earth and rocks, obviously, was nothing more than the accumulation of stones and dust that had been falling from it over time, and it was very unstable. It's nothing if the grass grows on it, but if you step on it too hard, it may collapse.

Seeing that Li Yidong was standing next to the herbs to be picked, the surroundings were still quiet and peaceful. Everyone began to think that maybe they had thought about things too much before, and there was no grass protection beast. Or even if there is a fierce beast, the fierce beast is also out, and it happens that it is not there, and everyone is lucky to be staggered with it. Or maybe the beast simply had an accident and was dead.

Everyone carefully inspected the surrounding grass and trees, and Li Yidong especially took a closer look at the corners and corners of the pile of soil and stones, up and down, front and back, and found nothing special. This location is on the mountain wall, and the current is not very large, and if other living creatures, such as fish and shrimp, are also in the valley stream, not in the crevasse.

took the initiative to search unsuccessfully, and everyone was not disappointed, but more assured. It's best to take the medicine quietly and leave safely.

Li Yidong bent down, holding a jade skewer in one hand and a jade box in the other. Gently clamp a herb, luck is raised, the whole plant is successfully proposed, apply the dust removal technique, put it in the jade box, put the jade box containing the herbs into the storage bag, take out the new empty jade box, and repeat the previous operation. One plant, another plant, and another plant, and everything went well. Li Yidong was in a happy mood, and his mind thought of the fact that he would eat the Zhuji Dan refined by this herb in the future, and he would succeed in building the foundation in one go.

Half of this herb has been picked by Li Yidong, he is already very skilled, and the rest will definitely be picked faster, and everyone will soon be able to leave. At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a shadow arrow shot at Li Yidong's back.

Jiang Jiutian kept staring at Li Yidong, in his mind, if there was really a fierce beast, if he attacked, he would definitely attack Li Yidong who was collecting medicine. When the shadow had just entered the perception and his eyes and brain had not yet reacted, Jiang Jiutian moved. However, it was not the sword prepared by the moving, nor the talisman prepared by the moving, he instinctively sent out a few qi needles. Those few qi needles came first, and before the shadow shot Li Yidong, it hit him.
