Chapter 3 Encounter with Fairy Grass
Seven days later, the rain stopped, and the tight string in Long Yun's heart seemed to suddenly break, and he fell to the ground like a fallen leaf, fainting. When I woke up, it was the next day.
When Long Yun's father died, Long Yun was still young and couldn't feel such intense sadness.
But this time, when his mother left, he was no longer the ignorant child he was at the beginning, and he could deeply feel the pain of losing a loved one, and it was the feeling of being so painful and powerless.
Although he didn't want to admit that his mother was dead, he felt that his mother just hadn't come back, but he also knew very well in his heart that it was just superficial self-comfort, and no matter what he thought, he couldn't change all this.
Since then, he has been learning from his mother and often going deep into the mountains to find the legendary purple jade cicada. Although her grandmother had advised him many times, he was determined that he would cure his sister's eyes.
It was already noon in the mountains at the end of the day, and there were thin clouds floating in the sky, at this moment, the clouds were like layers of silk cloth floating in the air, trying to block the sunlight, but there was nothing they could do, only to make the sunlight a little softer, and the warm breeze slowly blew on Long Yun's body, making him feel refreshed.
Long Yun stood on a giant tree, observing the movement in the distance. He took a deep breath and felt unusually comfortable.
Every time he came to the mountains, he felt that the breath here made him very happy, and he was deeply fascinated, if it wasn't for the danger here, if it weren't for the relatives at home, he would rather live in the mountains than go back to the village.
He has been in the mountains for many years, and he only dares to look for herbs on the periphery of Tiandu Mountain, and he does not dare to go deeper, because there are obviously many more exotic beasts there than here, and his mother's doctor's notebook also recorded that she heard that the purple jade cicada wei picked by others was also found on the periphery of Tiandu Mountain. So he's been looking on the periphery as well.
But today he wanted to go deeper into the mountain.
Because the next one will be his grandmother's turn, his grandmother doesn't know how long she will live, if his grandmother also passes away, he will have to take care of his blind sister every day in the future, and then there will be no way to go to the mountains to find medicine often.
He and his mother had been searching for the periphery for so many years, but there was no trace of the purple jade cicada, maybe he could find it if he went a little deeper into the mountains, he thought so, and moved towards the peakless mountain range.
The deeper you go, the bigger the trees and flowers grow in the mountains, their branches crisscrossing each other, and the sunlight can only penetrate the ground one by one.
Long Yun walked through the forest, every step was cautious, he had to climb to a high place first to carefully observe whether there was any abnormal movement in the direction he was going, his insight was very keen, which was also a skill he had learned in the mountains for so many years. If there were no anomalies, he continued in that direction.
This time, just as Long Yun was climbing the tall tree to inquire again, he found that there was a place in the distance, which was empty within a radius of several zhang, and there were no trees growing.
This situation was extremely rare in the Heavenly End Mountain, and Long Yun was very curious about what was in that clearing that made the trees unable to grow there.
But Long Yun was not carried away by curiosity, he still carefully observed the surrounding situation again, and made sure that there was no abnormal movement, so he dared to move there carefully, and observed every little movement.
As he walked through the layers of trees, until his view was no longer obstructed, he saw the clearing. This clearing is not completely empty, and there are some particularly dwarf flowers and plants in it, and there is nothing unusual about it.
But there is a much larger plant in the middle, which is particularly eye-catching.
The plant was about half a man tall, with a straight trunk and no extra branches, and slender leaves growing on the trunk, purple leaves that grew diagonally upwards with thorny tips.
And the most special thing is its flower, a palm-sized white flower blooms alone on the slender trunk of the plant, and it still glows white, flickering and disappearing, and there is no regularity.
It's so peculiar that it's hard to take your eyes off it at first glance.
Long Yun stared straight at the white flower at this time, and unconsciously slowly approached. Such a peculiar plant, even if people who have no experience in collecting medicine, will definitely feel that it is a rare treasure at a glance.
Long Yun wants to take a closer look, as a person who goes up the mountain to collect medicine all the year round, this temptation is too great, although every time he goes up the mountain is to find the purple jade cicada wei, but if he encounters any useful medicinal materials, he will also bring them back to the village, many patients in the village need these medicinal materials, and can exchange some small money for their family to live.
Over the years, he has a good knowledge of all kinds of commonly used medicinal herbs, but he has never seen this plant in front of him, nor has he read about it in the pharmacopoeia. From the outside, Long Yun intuitively decided that this was definitely not an ordinary herb.
He had read the records of several fairy grasses in the pharmacopoeia left by his mother at home, although the appearance of the fairy grasses was very different, and the medicinal effects were strange, but they had a common feature, that is, they were obviously different from other common plants, and it was difficult to describe, just like these things should not be things in this world.
And the white flower in front of him gave Long Yun this feeling, how could there be such a magical flower in this world?
Long Yun moved his footsteps, slowly approaching the white flower, and now he could smell the fragrance of the flower, and the fragrance of this flower was also very unique, not like the usual floral fragrance, more like a human scent, a young fragrance of the opposite sex.
In short, this strange fragrance attracted Long Yun more and more, making him want to stop.
He had already thought in his heart that no matter what it was, he would pick it up and study it slowly.
Thinking in his heart, he took a few more steps forward, getting closer and closer to the flowers, but at the same time, the experience of so many years of crawling and rolling in the mountains told him that he could not take it lightly.
So Long Yun lifted his spirits, temporarily removed his eyes from the many white flowers, and carefully looked at the surrounding situation, this place was flat, and there were no tall trees to block his vision, he saw a fine light at a glance, he searched carefully, there was indeed no trace of any foreign beast, and there was nothing that could threaten him. This made Long Yun's heart relax.
He began to take a step to pluck the white flower, and just as his hand was about to touch the white flower, he hesitated again.
"That's not right!"
He suddenly felt that something was wrong, why was there new soil under his feet? This white flower was newly planted? If this white flower had been growing here, the soil should not have been newly covered, could it be that this white flower was really planted here? How could this be? How could anyone come to this place to plant such a thing?
Question marks appeared in Long Yun's mind, his sea of consciousness was running rapidly, and his intuition told him:
This white flower can't be picked!
At this time, the white flower also suddenly reacted as if it were alive, and the frequency of its light flickered gracefully and irregularly before, and now became extremely rapid, and the more it flashed, the faster it flashed.
The signal seemed to be impatient to tell Long Yun: "Pick me, come and pick me, come and ......"
