Cangshan Town is a small town that is not big or small, and it is the most desolate and remote county town among the eight county towns in Qingzhou, Lu State, with a population of more than 10,000 living in the city. Within a radius of thousands of miles in the county, there are dozens of small villages, and most of the rest are deep mountains and old ditches, dangerous peaks and mountains, rivers and streams.

The grain yield in this place is not high, but there are a large number of rare wild medicinal materials growing in the deep mountains, so the herbs of Cangshan Town are also famous in the whole Qingzhou. Most of the residents of Cangshan Town are responsible for collecting medicine in the mountains to maintain their livelihoods.

When the sun sets, the low city walls of the county town are overgrown with grass and vines, and in front of the dilapidated city gate, there are a few lazy and down-and-out city soldiers guarding the gate. Against the backdrop of the sun's afterglow, the two thin figures stretched out for a long time, walking slowly one after the other.

"Get out of the way, something that doesn't have eyes!"

A donkey cart pulled by two young donkeys trotted towards the city gate. In the car sat an old squire of fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a rather elaborate cloth and silk coat, with an oxtail whip in his hand, and shouted loudly at the two weak figures blocking the road.

The donkey cart ran so fast that it almost knocked the two small figures into the air, but the two small figures were also extremely nimble, and they rolled quickly and dodged.

In the carriage, a chubby **-year-old boy suddenly poked his head out, with the oily appearance of a squire's child, his eyes turned around, and he saw the two people blocking the road, and immediately "bah", a mouthful of water spit on the two people rolling on the ground, and then grinned and clapped his hands and laughed: "Hit, hit! Dad, do you see? I vomited two leper dogs!"

"Haha, dumb dog!" the fat boy sneered as if he knew the two weak children.

The old squire did not look at the two lying on the ground, but after complimenting the little fat man, the little donkey cart then stopped near the city gate, and the city lord did not check on them, and let them into the city.

The child who was called Dumb looked handsome, but his body looked a little weak, he stared at the little fat man fiercely and lowered his head, bit his lip and endured it, but he didn't refute.

In the countryside, the squires were very powerful, with a wealthy family and many servants and samurai. He has been smart and sensible since he was a child, but he doesn't want to cause any trouble to his father and cause unnecessary trouble.

Met this unfortunate thing, Dumb didn't take it to heart, at this time, he was in a hurry, and he was not interested in looking at the scenery of the city gate, but turned to his side and said to a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes behind him:

"Brother Da Niu, I'm going to the mountains to collect medicine, maybe two or three days, you see I have brought all the dry food. ”

When the thick-eyed boy heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Xiaojun, do you really want to go alone?" Although there are many herbs in the mountain, but there are beasts and poisonous insects, I still advise you to wait for two days and go with my father and uncles, after all, they are adults and will protect you." And I heard my father say that it is not suitable to enter the mountain these days" Da Niu seemed to be very uneasy, and Dumb went alone, and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"It's okay, Brother Da Niu, you also know my ability, hehe! I only pick on the periphery of the mountain, and I won't go deep into the inner forest. Dumb heard the big cow's chattering and endless words. Although he knew that it was a good intention, he still interrupted Da Niu's words: "The toxicity in Daddy's body has flare up again, I want to find a few more herbs and treat him, I can't wait that long." ”

"Uncle's poison hasn't been cleared yet, in that case, you should be more careful on the road." Da Niu knew that he couldn't stop Dumb's intentions, so he looked helpless, and then instructed a few words.

"Well, I'll take care of myself. Brother Niu, then I'll go first, and you can help me tell me about it. Hearing this, Dumb smiled at the big cow, and after saying a few words, he walked towards the city gate

Dumb's eyes widened, and he looked at the misty peaks in front of him in a daze, and the faded cyan old shirt on his body had shown a dark yellow, although he could no longer see his original face, but it was clean and abnormal.

He carried a wicker basket containing several unidentified plants of different colors and shapes, and in his hand a rusty sickle.

About a meter away from Dumb's feet, there are several clusters of green stems that grow alone, white flowers dotted with but occasionally white balls formed of oil crystal grass, retracting the lookout gaze, Dumb bent down the waist pole that was not very straight, sweat has dripped down his cheeks, and Dumb's eyes are clear, but his face is not half tired.

"Plants are born in clusters, although they grow together, there are both short leaves and large leaves, and tall leaves and narrow leaves, born in low-lying wetlands with sufficient water sources, white flowers, after the flowers are gone, they form white balls, this must be the white flower snake tongue grass, the medicine must be the snake tongue grass with high feet and narrow leaves, and the short leaves have no medicinal effect; ”

Thinking of this, Dumb was very happy: "Now there is still the last taste of medicinal materials - large-leaf two-eyed dragon, this medicine is born in a high temperature area, extremely scarce, I have been looking for it in the outer forest so far, I have never seen it, I am afraid that only by going deep into the inner forest, can I have the opportunity to find it." ”

"But the inner forest is a forbidden place in the town, and I heard the people in the town say that the inner forest is full of wild beasts, overgrown with weeds, and the most dangerous ones will encounter those strange beasts that have become essences, breathing fire and swallowing fog, which is extremely dangerous. ”

Dumb muttered to himself, his face was slightly melancholy, and he was anxious, "No matter how much, my godfather's injury is serious, and I can't delay any longer, I just need to enter a few miles a little, follow the road markings to the road back, and be cautious." After thinking about this, Dumb strode forward and walked towards the forbidden land of the border town.

Dumb's surname is Fu Mingjun, he is not a native of the country, but on a stormy night six years ago, the owner of the pharmacy Fu Mingfei picked up the medicine when he was collecting medicine in Baicang Mountain, and then adopted Dumb, and begged the old Zhang Tou in the village to give him a decent name.

Speaking of the old Zhang Tou in the town, when he was young, he once entered the Cangshan faction to learn martial arts, although his potential in martial arts was limited, but he had some achievements in the knowledge of literature and ink, and he also mixed with a medicine hall master in this sect, and he was the most learned "scholar" in the town.

Dumb godfather Fu Mingfei is just the shopkeeper of a small pharmacy in the town, and his family is just selling some medicines he picks, not a faceless character, but in view of the many years of business between Lao Zhangtou and Fu Mingfei, plus more than a dozen beads of herbs that are in short supply, Lao Zhangtou also gave him such a name on the stage by the way.

It can be seen that Fu Mingfei loves Fu Jun in his bones, and raised him as his own son when he urinated, which may also have something to do with the fact that he has no children under his knees.

Fu Jun is called "Dumb" by the people in the town, but he is not stupid, he is a little weak in appearance, but he is the most intelligent child in the town. A children's school opened by Lao Zhangtou in the town, specializing in teaching the medical world, Dumb learns in it, no matter what knowledge is learned the fastest, remembered the most accurately, and always gets Lao Zhangtou's praise every time, and it is precisely because of this that the children of those wealthy families will be jealous and give him such an asymmetrical nickname.

When you enter the inner forest, you are greeted by large swaths of tall or short, thick or thin green plants, some as thin as needles and threads, crawling on the ground, and some as thick as arms, towering into the clouds.

Fu Jun walked cautiously in it, wielding a scythe from time to time, cutting down the surrounding weeds, and nervously looking around at the nearby scene. As the forbidden land of Baicang Town, Neilin is rarely entered, except for those knights with peerless martial arts, or those immortal cultivators who have gone to heaven and earth in legends.

A few years ago, due to the lack of medicinal herbs on the periphery of the mountain, some bold and experienced herb pickers cooperated with the warriors hired by the outside to break into the forbidden land of the inner forest, but half a month passed, and none of the intruders who were quite strong came back alive.

A month later, Zhang Dabiao, who was collecting medicine in the town, saw an unknown corpse covered in blood on the periphery, which was confirmed by the villagers to be the only martial arts master among the group of explorers, and it was said that martial arts had reached the peak of the day after tomorrow. The corpse's skull had been shattered, and the brain had disappeared, and the death was miserable.

After that, the people of the town no longer had any idea of breaking into the forbidden land of the inner forest, and since then, many people have said that they have seen the gods flying in the sky entering and leaving the inner forest, and heard the roar of wild beasts, guiding the mountains to roar.

Legends are very frequent, they can be heard in the streets and alleys, and in the end people rush to the well-being of Lao Zhangtou, and want to ask if there is a so-called fairy in the legend.

That day, the old man said meaningfully: "Immortals are indeed immortals, that is, the so-called immortal cultivators, they live with the sun and the moon, and the means are even more incredible, which has completely surpassed the imagination of ordinary people, and there are even more powerful people, and it is not a problem to destroy the world and destroy the world." And the beasts that roar and cause the earth to shake may also be those legendary spirit beasts, spitting clouds and mist, moving mountains and seas. ”

At this point, no ordinary person dared to take a fluke and enter the forbidden land of Baicang Town, so there was no road to delay in the forbidden land.
