Chapter 137: Looking for the Seven Star Grass

Although the wine is light, but the stamina of rice wine is very strong, even if there are ten more altars and one hundred altars in the past, it will not be in the way at all, but Zhang Huban is now a mortal body after all, and gradually he feels a little overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, and Xiong Baitao is both drunk.

After that drunkenness, Zhang Huban and Xiong Baitao became real New Year's friends, and Zhang Huban officially became a member of the Xiong family from then on. Later, Xiong Baitao also tried to get some information about his past from Zhang Hupan's mouth, but every time Zhang Huban always prevaricated about the past. Gradually, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, knowing that Zhang Huban must have some troubles, and they didn't want to mention the past, so they didn't continue to ask.

There is another member in the family, and the grandparents are naturally very happy. Since Xiong Liwei has a memory, it seems that everything revolves around her grandfather, and many peers in the village have shied away from her because of the strange birthmarks on her face, and some even laugh and insult her. So Xiong Liwei has no friends in her life, and Zhang Huban, a young man who looks about her age, finally made Xiong Liwei realize the meaning of "friend". But the happiest should be Xiong Baitao, Zhang Huban is like a guide given to him by God, and Xiong Baitao is deeply impressed by the superb medical skills shown from Zhang Huban from time to time. Although Zhang Huban looks young, outsiders seem to be several generations behind Xiong Baitao, but Xiong Baitao always can't help but show respect for Zhang Huban from the heart, regardless of whether he is in front of or behind, which makes Xiong Liwei often feel incredible.

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and in these two months, Zhang Huban has spared no effort to help him cure many patients under Xiong Baitao's repeated requests. Due to his superb medical skills, Zhang Huban began to make some small fame in the Miao village and won the respect of the Miao people. Carrying water and collecting medicine, curing diseases and saving people, this real and busy mortal life made Zhang Huban see the meaning of his existence, and it also seemed to make him gradually forget everything in the past, but in the dead of night, it is always inevitable to think of friends who are far away, and a thing called longing always makes people worry.

Next to Miao Village, there is a well-known Lei Gong Mountain for women and children, which is located at the top of Miao Ridge at an altitude of 2178.8 meters. The Miaoling Mountains traverse western Guizhou, central Guizhou, southern Guizhou and southeastern Guizhou, stretching for nearly 1,000 kilometers. The Bagua Forest is in the area of the black pond of Lei Gong Mountain, because the mountains are undulating, the forest is high and the valley is deep, and entering this realm is like walking into the Bagua Array and gets its name. Ordinary people can't distinguish between east and west, north and south in the Bagua Forest, and it is difficult to find an exit or turn back, so few people dare to enter this forest. However, at this time, there was a young man, carrying a bamboo basket, and he was alone in this mysterious gossip forest.

This person was Zhang Huban, who was here to collect medicinal herbs at this time. Lei Gong Mountain is very close to Miao Village, and because there are very few people here, precious herbs can be seen everywhere. Xiong Baitao likes to go to Leigong Mountain to collect herbs, but he has never set foot in the Bagua Forest for decades. Zhang Huban once came to the periphery of the Bagua Forest with Xiong Baitao, and his sensitive feeling for the aura of heaven and earth made Zhang Huban feel that the Bagua Forest was different from other places, and the aura was much richer, and he believed that there should be more precious medicinal materials in it, but Xiong Baitao resolutely blocked it and did not let Zhang Huban enter this place, so Zhang Huban had no choice but to give up.

Today, he went to Lei Gong Mountain alone to collect medicine, and Zhang Huban finally couldn't resist the impulse in his heart and resolutely stepped into the Bagua Forest. In fact, the purpose of Zhang Huban is not to collect many rare and exotic grasses, but to look here to see if there are any seven-star grasses. According to ancient books, the seven-star grass can eliminate birthmarks. Every time I saw the young Miao girls dressed up beautifully and went to the market in groups, and Xiong Liwei secretly hid at home, looking at them with envious eyes, Zhang Huban's heart was very sad, and she wanted to help this kind Miao girl. It's just that I searched the entire cottage and Lei Gong Mountain, but I didn't see the shadow of the Seven Star Grass. The Bagua Forest has been unentered all year round, and the aura is so abundant, there should be a lot of precious medicinal materials that are not found in other places, and it is not known if the Seven Star Grass can really be found.

The Bagua Forest is full of ancient trees and vines, and even in such a broad daylight, the whole forest still looks very dim, and there is little sunlight shining in. Birds and beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants are almost everywhere, and before they went far, Zhang Huban had already killed three poisonous snakes, five poisonous scorpions and other kinds of reptiles. However, what did not disappoint Zhang Huban was that there were indeed a lot of precious medicinal materials here, due to the inaccessibility and abundant rain, all kinds of precious medicinal materials such as Codonopsis, Lei Wujia, Panax notoginseng, Eucommia, Baiji, Snake Lian, and Blood Vine can be seen everywhere here, but I have not yet seen the expected Seven Star Grass.

For about four hours or so, Zhang Huban, with his powerful divine sense that was different from ordinary people, did not get dizzy, but came to the depths of the Bagua Forest after passing through the lush primeval forest and climbing over two small hills. The terrain is high, the temperature is low, the clouds are shrouded, the air is humid, and some of the ancient trees are covered with strange black hairs, as if they are dressed in winter clothes. The Bagua Array is indeed worthy of its name, and the ancient trees here are vaguely really lined up in a Bagua Array, no wonder ordinary people can't get out after entering. However, the gossip array is like a labyrinth in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Zhang Huban, it can be seen through at a glance, and there is no mystery at all.

After passing through the gossip array, a cliff suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was no way out, Zhang Huban couldn't help but be disappointed, it seemed that the hope of finding the Seven Star Grass had failed. Standing on the edge of the cliff, the probe looked down, and the clouds were confused and could not see the height at all. Shaking his head helplessly, he was about to leave, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and where the clouds and mist dispersed, he saw a few fairy grasses with leaves like cold stars and seven leaves each on the cliff not far away.

"Seven Star Grass!" Zhang Huban felt a burst of excitement in his heart, but he was immediately as depressed as a deflated ball. God doesn't help, the Seven Star Grass is so good that it grows on such a cliff. In the past, such a thing would have been a trivial matter for him, but now it is no longer what it used to be, and he no longer has the ability to fly into the sky. To obtain the Seven Immortals first, you must climb down the cliff. Due to the constant humidity, the cliffs are covered with moss, and in some places there are water droplets, so you don't have to look at it to know that it must be extremely smooth. This kind of thing is too dangerous for Zhang Huban today.

Alas, it would be nice if the Qiankun Ring could be activated now, which flying sword hidden in the Qiankun Ring is not as sharp as clay. As long as you have such a flying sword in your hand, you may be able to succeed step by step with the support of the flying sword, but how can you have the ability to take out the things in the Qiankun Ring now.

The Seven Star Grass that he had been looking for for so hard was close at hand at the moment, and Zhang Huban was really unwilling to give up. Especially the inferiority complex and longing in Xiong Liwei's eyes that appeared in her mind pressed on Zhang Huban's heart like a stone. In the end, it seems that emotion overcame reason, and in order to save his benefactor, Zhang Huban decided to risk his life to climb down the cliff.

Zhang Huban found a rattan around and tied one end to a tree and the other end to his waist. After pulling the rattan to make sure that it was safe, he took a small shovel in his hand and began to carefully descend along the cliff. The cliff is really smooth, there is no place to stay, and the weight of the whole person on the shore of Zhang Lake almost all falls on the rattan, and the slightest gust of wind blows, and it keeps shaking. With Zhang Hu's extraordinary courage, he was already drenched in cold sweat at this time, for fear that the rattan would not be able to support it. Soon, Zhanghuban disappeared into the clouds and mist, the visibility was even lower, almost only about a meter could be seen, the hair and eyebrows were covered with water droplets, and the cliffs were even more frighteningly smooth, and people hung in the air where there were almost no things everywhere. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have been so scared that my father would have called my mother to pee his pants, but Zhang Huban is not an ordinary person after all, since he is already ready to fly, he can only eliminate all distracting thoughts, and secretly calculate the height of his descent in his heart. Slowly, the shadow of the Seven Star Grass finally appeared in front of me, and I couldn't help but rejoice that success was just around the corner. Just as Zhang Huban was about to release some more rattan, he was dumbfounded, rattan is only of such length, God!

For the nine members of the mountain, the success fell short, and Zhang Huban was so angry that he almost scolded the sky. There is no choice but to go up and find a longer rattan first, and then experience an aerial horror. Sighing, he was about to slowly climb back, when suddenly Zhang Hu's eyes lit up, and he saw that there were two protruding rocks under his toes.

Haha, it's really an endless road! Zhang Huban's originally depressed mood suddenly became happy, carefully touched his toes to the rock, felt solid, and then leaned his whole body weight on the rock, and then untied the rattan around his waist and wrapped the rattan around his hand. In this way, the length of the rattan is just right, and it seems that Zhang Huban is ready to grab the rattan with one hand and take things in the air.

It's close, it's close! Zhang Huban's eyes stared at the Qixing grass that was close at hand, and he grasped the rattan tightly with one hand, and muttered anxiously in his heart. However, the sky is not beautiful, and just as it is within reach, a sudden gust of wind hits, and raindrops the size of beans follow. The sudden wind suddenly made Zhang Huban lose his center of gravity, hanging in the air and going from east to west, and what is even worse, the rattan was already smooth, but at this time under the action of heavy rain, it was even smoother and difficult to grasp. Zhang Huban held the rattan in one hand, used all his strength, and gradually felt powerless, and let out a cry, I will die! I could no longer hold the rattan in my hand, and fell off the cliff.
