Chapter 139: The road is bumpy
When Xiao Tianming saw the two medicine farmers, he knew what the "burdensome" in his mouth looked like. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
One of them was about seventy years old, with white eyebrows, but he was in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and he looked like he was old and strong.
The other was a middle-aged man in the prime of life, about thirty years old, close to forty years old, with a mustache, and his eyes were purring, and he was very smart.
The two men carried medicine baskets on their backs, sickles, hoes, and red ropes around their waists...... All kinds of tools, zero zero total ten variety.
"This is the guard assigned to us by Shang Wutang, and it doesn't look very good!" The middle-aged man was not very satisfied with Xiao Tianming.
Xiao Tianming didn't look like a peerless master, but had a delicate face, wearing a white robe made of moire satin, and his whole body exuded a handsome and dusty aura, like a prince and grandson.
However, this impression was soon shattered.
"It's that you are going to Longbei Mountain to collect medicine, I really don't know whether to live or die. Xiao Tianming was already in a bad mood, how could this middle-aged man give him a good face.
"You ......" The middle-aged man didn't expect this white-clothed man who seemed to be knowledgeable to speak so unpleasantly, and just wanted to ridicule him, but was stopped by the old man on the side.
"Ah Xing, don't say a word. The old man rebuked the middle-aged man.
"Master, our collection of medicine this time is a task arranged by the above, we are risking our lives, this guard is so rude, we have to complain to Shangwutang!" The middle-aged man Ah Xing was not convinced.
"Listen to me. Xiao Tianming sneered, he wished not to go to Longbei Mountain.
"Pu Xing, shut up!" the old man suddenly shouted, startling the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man Pu Xing finally stopped talking, but his face was still dissatisfied, his eyes were rolling from side to side, obviously thinking about conspiracy.
Xiao Tianming didn't think it was wrong, even if he complained, the most serious consequence would just be to deduct some ordinary points.
And this middle-aged man has been sentenced to death in Xiao Tianming's heart, if he encounters a fierce beast attack after entering the mountain, save Pu Xing first, or the old man, the answer is self-evident.
Shilong Mountain is composed of four large mountains and some small hills dotted around, the four big mountains are Longtou Mountain, Longneck Mountain, Longbei Mountain and Longwei Mountain.
Longtou Mountain is the lowest, connected with Shilong Town, is the main passage into the mountain, the mountain forest is sparse, many people cultivate terraced fields on the mountain, plant vegetables, melons and fruits, herbs and flowers, a busy scene.
Longneck Mountain is high and densely forested, with tigers and jackals everywhere inside, which is extremely dangerous, and it is an extremely dangerous place for ordinary people, but for the warriors who can transport the true yuan, it is a good place to hone their martial arts. The last time I was hiding in Longneck Mountain.
Longbei Mountain, the most majestic of the four mountains of Shilong, covers the most extensive area of a mountain, there are not only all kinds of strange flowers and plants in it, but also countless fierce birds and beasts, these beasts even have the existence of cultivating the true element, it is rumored that someone has seen talking jackals and tigers in the mountains.
Longbei Mountain is such a fierce place, even the warriors do not dare to set foot easily, there is a great possibility of losing their lives, the last time Xiao Tianming six bandits arrived in the Evil Dragon Valley is located between Longbei Mountain and Longneck Mountain, that group of bandits only dare to operate on the periphery of Longbei Mountain, dare not go deep into it, it can be seen how dangerous Longbei Mountain is!
As for the last big mountain, Longwei Mountain, it is a military forbidden place, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and those who dare to trespass will be killed on the spot, because the mountain contains a mineral that is extremely important to the Emperor and the Imperial Dynasty - Lingshi Mine!
The Spirit Stone Mine can help martial artists in the high realm to cultivate, and martial artists like the Sense Yuan Realm, the Manjiang Realm, and the Zhengliu Realm can use it, which can be regarded as a tyrannical thing.
"Old Huang, Longbei Mountain is so dangerous, and you master and apprentice don't know martial arts, why do you insist on coming to the mountain to collect medicine?" Xiao Tianming asked the old man.
The three of them walked slowly in the Dragon Neck Mountain, this was also no way, if it was Xiao Tianming himself, he had already arrived at Longbei Mountain at this moment, but Huang Yao and Pu Xing, the master and apprentice, were not proficient in martial arts, and Xiao Tianming could only accompany them to advance at a turtle speed.
"I don't know if the little brother has ever heard of Dan Xinzong?" said Huang Lao with a smile.
"I've heard of it, but the Danxin Sect among the three major factions in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou?" Xiao Tianming was surprised, he didn't expect that the pair of masters and apprentices in front of him would be involved with such a big sect.
"Exactly, we are the herb pickers of the Danxin Sect branch all over the country. Huang Lao said the real reason for entering the mountain this time, "This time, the Danxin Sect has an order that the medicine pickers from all over the country must collect a certain amount of fish spirit grass and hand it over to the government to send it to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou within a limited period of time. ”
So it turned out that Xiao Tianming suddenly realized that although Danxin Sect is a sect, it is deeply involved with the imperial court, and all the pills refined in the sect must be reviewed by the imperial court before they can be sold publicly, and the biggest customer of Danxin Sect is not anyone else, it is the military department in the imperial court.
The millions of soldiers in the military department, whether it is training or fighting, are inseparable from supplies, and with the elixir, many problems on the march can be easily solved.
Danxinzong has developed a kind of military food pill, which is not hungry for three days, solves the problem of inconvenient food transportation, and has various magical pills such as thirst-quenching pills, disinfection pills, and hemostatic pills, which have made great contributions to the stability of the dynasty.
"Master, what do you do with him, what kind of knowledge can he have as a wild boy in a mountain village. The middle-aged man Pu Xing listened to the two talking behind his back, and he also knew Xiao Tianming's true identity.
It's just a little-known little ghost in Lingyun Village, who was full of momentum before, making Pu Xing think that he was a rich young master in Shilong Town.
Huang Yao was suddenly furious, his face turned red, his apprentice today was really embarrassing, making him lose his face.
"Pak Sung, believe it or not, I'm going to break your limbs right now and feed you to the jackals, tigers and leopards. Xiao Tianming was annoyed by him all the way, and finally couldn't help but threaten.
At the same time, he exuded the momentum of a warrior in the Manjiang Realm, and pressed towards Pu Xing to the death.
Pu Xing was suddenly sweating profusely, his whole body was weak, the two trembled, and he almost wanted to fall, he never thought that this guard would turn his face without saying a word.
"Hmph, I don't understand such a simple truth as the curse comes out of your mouth, and I don't know how you got to where you are now. Xiao Tianming saw that he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, and immediately smiled with satisfaction.
During the whole process, Huang Yao didn't say a word, obviously disappointed in his apprentice, this apprentice relied on his own background, he had always refused to listen to his own teachings, and now he was in the mountains, and he couldn't figure out the situation, which was really stupid.
Pu Xing's interjection completely disrupted Xiao Tianming and Huang Yao's conversation, and the rest of the journey was silent, only the howl of fierce beasts from the mountains and forests reminded that this was not a paradise.
The cicadas and birds on the trees are also singing one after another, which makes people irritable to listen to in the ears, and there is no feeling of "the cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded".
