Chapter 43: A Chance Encounter in the Mountains

After Zhao Gongming drank a few sips of spring water, he really felt that the water was clear and sweet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Remembering the task assigned by the master, he hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle that had been marked long ago from his bosom and filled it with some water samples.

At this time, the lark was already sitting on a flat rock, placing the medicine basket upside down in front of him, resting his arms on the basket, and resting his head on his arms and starting to rest.

Zhao Gongming looked up at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and felt that it was indeed not the time to hurry, so he found a cool and dry mountain wall nearby, half leaned on it and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

What he remembered at the moment was the introduction of ambergris in the "Pharmacopoeia", which is mostly found in the damp places infested by snakes and insects in the mountains, and while emitting its own unique smell to attract snakes, it also constantly absorbs the body fluids secreted by snakes as they crawl past in the process of growth.

Ambergris that can grow safely for more than 50 years is rare, let alone 70 years old. Because ambergris grass grows to fifty years, it will bear fruit, and this fruit is attractive enough for birds and beasts to rush to eat it.

And the ambergris that has lost its fruit will soon be taken away by the fruit because the essence of the body is already in fruit, and it will wither and decay and return to dust.

Unless the ambergris fruit can ripen and fall off on its own without the interference of external forces, and then decay into the soil, the essence of which is reabsorbed by the body, so that the ambergris grass can continue to grow until it bears a second fruit at the age of a hundred years, and so on.

According to the "Pharmacopoeia", the highest year ambergris that has appeared in the world is only 300 years old, which shows that it is not easy for this herb to continue to grow.

When Zhao Gongming thought of this, he couldn't help but recall a poem from his previous life, "Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers." It's just that the poem talks about flowers, and the current ones are fruits.

Another difference is that in previous lives, everything in the world could not get out of this cycle, but in this life, the practitioner is trying to break this cycle of existence.

"Jump out of the Three Realms, not among the Five Elements". If in the previous life, this sentence was just a fantasy in a small talkbook, but in this world, it is possible to really realize.

The two rested for a while, and then continued on their way to the mountain. According to the experience of the larks, in this mountain forest, ambergris grass grows near a stream near the hanging rock ridge ahead.

Hanging Stone Ridge was originally an unnamed wild ridge here, which was later given the name of the hunters and herb pickers of Caoxu Town, just because there was a hanging boulder on the top of this mountain range, and only a small place at the bottom of the boulder was connected with the mountain, and the other parts were suspended in the air.

Those who pass under the mountain look up like a boulder crumbling overhead, and the timid people who come for the first time may not even dare to pass under the mountain.

There is a stream not far from the Hanging Stone Ridge, the birds and beasts near come here to drink water, the grass and trees on the side of the stream are thick, it is the place where snakes and insects haunt, and the larks have picked ambergris grass here.

Therefore, since he learned the purpose of Zhao Gongming's entry into the mountain, Skylark directly led him to this realm.

However, if Zhao Gongming had known about the environment in advance, he would not have much hope, because although there are many snakes and insects here, there are also ambergris grass growing.

But in such a drinking place where birds and beasts gather, the probability of ambergris fruit surviving is extremely low, and it is impossible for seventy years of ambergris to exist.

The two of them soon approached the location of the Hanging Stone Ridge, and Zhao Gongming could already see the rumored volley boulder through the forest in front of him.

When the two of them successfully arrived at the place where the stream was, they found that there were already two people here who were taking water by the stream to rest, and Zhao Gongming even found one of the acquaintances, Niu Er.

After Zhao Hao determined the exact date of Zhao Tiansheng's arrival in Caoxu Town, he could only follow the advice of the Nameless Remnant Soul and enter the Tiandu Mountain Range to obtain more beast spirits when he could not escape this competition.

Only in this way will he be able to improve his strength in the shortest possible time. In the name of entering the mountain to cultivate Aoki Duel, Zhao Hao obtained the permission of the elders in the clan, and rushed into the mountains and forests with Niu Er, the guard he had named to come.

The time when Zhao Hao and his party entered the mountain was almost the same as that of Zhao Gongming, but the direction and path of the two teams after entering the mountain were very different.

Zhao Gongming was led by Skylark, a senior herb picker, and walked along the traditional mountain path, but Zhao Hao followed the instructions of the remnant soul and headed directly towards the place where the beasts in the mountains were concentrated.

The last two passers-by met in this stream, which cannot but be said to be a coincidence.

Niu Er also found Zhao Gongming walking over from the opposite side, and he was very impressed by this pharmacy guy.

If it weren't for this sharp-toothed young man, how could his plan and Zhao Langzhong's plan fall through.

Fortunately, Zhao Langzhong's words counted, and he didn't turn his face afterwards, he really became the Zhao family's guard because of the blessing of misfortune, which is the iron rice bowl that everyone with a different surname envy in Caoxu Town.

Niu Er didn't give the other party a good look, but as the Zhao family's guard, it was his duty to explain the identity of the person who came to his master.

Once settled as a well-known splash in the town, Niu Er has a good understanding of the personnel situation in the town, otherwise how could he be able to live in peace after acting in Caoxu Town.

Because Niu Er knows what kind of people in the town can start and what kind of people can't be offended, this is the key to his life in Caoxu Town.

"The two people who came from the opposite side, the man is Zhao Gongming, a guy from the Qian family's pharmacy in the town, and the woman is a little girl from the Yun family in the town, who was born in medicine. It seems that they went into the mountains to collect medicine together. ”

Zhao Hao didn't care about these two people, but when Zhao Gongming and Skylark walked to the other side of the stream, only a water away from Zhao Hao and Niu Er, the remnant soul suddenly reminded: "Be careful, there is something wrong with the little girl on the other side." ”

The remnant soul keenly felt that there was an existence similar to his own state on the lark, and an inexplicable coercion made the remnant soul feel very uncomfortable.

Zhao Hao, who was reminded, instantly became vigilant against the lark across the water, and for the first time since he came into contact with the remnant soul, he found that it was afraid.

Zhao Gongming already had his own guess about the identity of the brocade-clothed young man beside Niu Er.

The news that Niu Er became the Zhao family's guard is not a secret in the town, and it seems that this young man must be a child of the Zhao family.

Niu Er didn't take the initiative to greet him, and after glancing at himself, the young man of the Zhao family stared at the lark beside him, it seems that the charm of this medicine picking girl is really killing all ages!
