Chapter 199: Collecting Medicine on the Mountain
Wisps of light smoke curled up, and in Baiyun Village, where the people were quiet and quiet, the people in the village were working calmly and serenely. It's still the same, muddy paths, broken mud walls, and dirt dogs passing by on the village road.
Fu Xiaowa stood at the entrance of the village, with mixed feelings in his heart, I don't know how long it has been, he hasn't returned here, looking at the familiar one in the village, he feels deeply, looking at the peace and tranquility.
Walking into the village, it is still the same, there is no change, but the locust tree at the entrance of the village has sprouted new shoots again.
"Fu Xiaowa?" exclaimed the old man who was driving the cow past in surprise.
"Uncle Zhang, it's me, are you okay?" Fu Xiaowa had a little tears in his eyes, this is the people in the village who he hadn't seen for a long time, those kind people, how much help they had brought him, adopted him, took care of him, and gave him all kinds of help in life.
The uncle Zhang was a little happy and lost his temper, and he said in a trembling voice: "The people in the village still think that something happened to you, they are all worried to death, and when I see you come back, my old man's heart is a big stone falling!"
"I'm really sorry, I've been in Qingniu Town, a lot of things have happened, now I'm back, everyone can rest assured, I'm fine, I'm doing well!" Fu Xiaowa wiped his tears and smiled.
Uncle Zhang also found that the three people accompanying Fu Xiaowa were beautiful, a middle-aged man with domineering and a cold, and he didn't know how Fu Xiaowa knew these people in Qingniu Town. But he only knew that Fu Xiaowa had always been a good child, and no matter what, he imagined that Fu Xiaowa would not take any wrong path.
"Come and sit at Uncle's house, and take these friends of yours to rest, and I'll go and tell the people in the village!" Uncle Zhang was busy driving the cattle to his home.
In the compound of that uncle's house. The mud walls on all sides are still broken, and there is a scurrying corn cob hanging under the eaves, and there are couplets pasted on the door, all of which are written by this uncle, who is the only literate person in the village, and it is he who taught Fu Xiaowa to read.
Fu Xiaowa beckoned the helper to sit down with Qiao Ruyan and Ling Yuanjie, Qiao Ruyan also looked at the appearance of the village, imagining that Fu Xiaowa grew up here, it was here that a baby like Fu Xiaowa was raised. It is the simplicity here that gives birth to a character like Fu Xiaowa.
"Your village is very good!"
Fu Xiaowa said: "Of course, the people in our village are good to me, I don't have a father and mother, and the people in the village will give me anything to eat." I was raised by the people in the village, and I know the taste of the food of every household, so I must be worthy of the people in the village in the future!"
Qiao Ruyan's heart was sour, it seems that this Fu Xiaowa is an orphan, and in his growing years, I don't know how many sad things there were.
At this time, the door of Uncle Zhang's house was pushed open, and a nest of village people poured in, Fu Xiaowa Fu Xiaowa shouted.
"Fu Xiaowa, you want to die aunt. Let my aunt see, you have grown taller, you have grown stronger, and if you haven't come back for so long, we thought something had happened to you. I sent people to Qingniu Town to look for it, but I didn't find anyone, so we died in a hurry!" This is a joy from the bottom of my heart, this Fu Xiaowa is like everyone's baby, which makes people worry.
Fu Xiaowa smiled: "I'm fine, everyone is worried!"
"Look, you see, if you bring a friend, you don't come to a meal, come to your aunt's house, and your aunt will kill two old hens for you, and greet your friends!"
Luo Xinyi smiled and said, "No, no, we just stay for the time being, and we will leave later!"
"What's so urgent, it's still time for this meal, this little frog's friend, we also have to help say hello!"
"You guys are so kind!"
The house was lively, and the people of the village rushed to greet each other. This township is a rural area, and the human touch is very strong, which makes people have a faint warmth.
At this time, a big baby in the village, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, pulled Fu Xiaowa aside and asked secretly: "Little frog, who is that girl you brought, such a handsome girl, introduce you to Brother Tie Dan as a daughter-in-law?"
Fu Xiaowa rolled his mouth, stretched out a finger and swung it left and right, and persuaded: "Brother Tiedan, don't think about this, this mother-in-law, it's very evil, go back and ask you to kneel on the washboard every day!"
"I'm not afraid, with this daughter-in-law, I'm willing to kneel to death!" the iron egg grinned.
"Let me tell you, then?"
"Say, Brother Tiedan's daughter-in-law depends on you, I didn't lose Brother Tiedan's love for you before!"
Fu Xiaowa coughed lightly, then came to Qiao Ruyan's side, and then muttered in Qiao Ruyan's ear, but saw that Qiao Ruyan's face changed greatly, brushed the ground, and pulled out the whip, so that Fu Xiaowa fled all over the house.
The iron egg stared, and he didn't dare to come out, for fear that he was thinking that he had a few lives before he could marry this daughter-in-law.
"Okay, folks, we've stayed long enough, I think we're going up the mountain, and I'll come to visit you again when I have time in the future!" Luo Xinyi stood up and said.
"You want to go up to Baiyun Mountain?" Uncle Zhang was suddenly shocked, and the entire village fell silent, looking at Fu Xiaowa and the others.
"Well, our trip is to go up the mountain, passing through the village and letting Fu Xiaowa stop by and go home to have a look!"
"This, this Baiyun Mountain, can't go up, this is the ancestral training handed down by the older generation, even the most senior hunter, there is no return!" the uncle Zhang persuaded.
"Old man, don't worry, our kung fu is very good, and your Fu Xiaowa is not bad now!"
Fu Xiaowa also said: "Yes, Uncle Zhang, now I know how to work hard, thieves pull benefits!"
Uncle Zhang said: "However, no matter how high your kung fu is, it can't be as high as those who go up the mountain, a few days ago, a few were carried back, and they lost their lives without tossing a few times!"
"Who else is going up the mountain?" Luo Xinyi asked.
"There are many people, there are good people and bad people, a while ago, there was a group of people who led the way in white clothes and masked, and wanted to kill all the people in the village!" Uncle Zhang thought about that night, and his heart still palpitated.
"What?" Fu Xiaowa was cold for a while, these people in the village were his concern, how could he not be shocked when he heard the news, he said urgently: "What happened?"
"Later. Later, there was a black-clothed masked man, who seemed to be called some kind of black man, and we were able to survive by not letting the white-clothed man kill him, and that night was really dangerous, just a little bit, and our whole village would be killed in Huangquan!"
"Black Evil!" In Fu Xiaowa's impression, the most profound man in black was the person he saved that night, maybe that person was Black Evil. No matter what the reason, at least, the lives of the people in the village are saved, which is what he is most at ease with.
Uncle Zhang continued: "There are still some Taoists, and that kung fu is called benefit." Can summon thunder and lightning, can turn pigs and sheep into stones, our older generation has never seen these things, like gods, just like these people, not one by one to carry back, within a few days with their legs stretched out!"
That Luo Xinyi seemed to understand something, and muttered: "True Yuan, the master who actually comprehended the True Yuan is competing on the mountain!"
Fu Xiaowa was curious: "What is True Yuan?"
"True Yuan. The true yuan is the true element of heaven and earth, with the ability to control the power of heaven and earth, our current qi yuan is only to use the qi of heaven and earth, and the true yuan is to enslave all things in heaven and earth. I've just heard that in short, martial arts is vast, and there are more vast areas, and there is still a long way to go!" Luo Xinyi sighed.
Fu Xiaowa said resolutely: "No matter how long it is." I will fight hard, I want to use more strength to protect more relatives and keep them away from danger, and my current strength has caused too many unfortunate things to happen, which should have been avoided, just because I don't have enough strength!"
Many times put the people around him in danger, so that Fu Xiaowa longed for more powerful strength from his heart, which was the source of motivation for him to work hard to practice martial arts. When he slaughtered the village, even if he was present, he was powerless to fight against the man in white, if it wasn't for the appearance of the black demon, then what would he do. He couldn't let these things happen, probably not at all. Perhaps this trip to the mountains was an excellent opportunity to increase his cultivation.
Fu Xiaowa said: "Okay, we're going up the mountain, don't worry, we'll be very careful!"
At this time, an old hunter stood up and said: "Little frog, if you want to go up the mountain, I will help you lead the way, I have tried to go deep on the Baiyun Mountain a few times, there are some familiarities, I can give you a little help!"
"Chen Laipi, there have been several times when someone has offered you a lot of money, but you haven't come out, why did you come out this time?" Uncle Zhang said strangely.
"It's not Fu Xiaowa's baby, I don't want to take this risk yet, this baby is also what I watched grow up, don't help him help anyone, and Zhang Maolai, you are not an old regret when you play chess, you have the face to give me this nickname!"
"Uncle Chen, thank you so much, we will definitely ensure your safety, and you will do it hard!" Fu Xiaowa said happily and made a promise.
"I can only take you deep to a certain distance, and if you go deeper, I won't dare to go!"
Luo Xinyi is also happy, there is a person who is familiar with Baiyun Mountain, it is much stronger, it is better to bring Fu Xiaowa here, otherwise he will not be able to find this leader. Luo Xinyi thanked him and said, "Then thank the old man first!"
"I'm helping Fu Xiaowa, you're welcome!" the old Orion smiled.
"That's right!" Fu Xiaowa took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from his pocket, and then handed it to the uncle: "Uncle Zhang, this money is coming from the right way, you can read and settle accounts, and take it to the people in the village to share!"
The whole village was stunned, many people in the village had never seen a silver ticket, I don't know what kind of rarity this is, if it is said to be ten thousand taels, even if everyone uses their hands and feet, it can't be counted.
The uncle rubbed his eyes, he looked at the denomination on the silver ticket, his jaw almost dropped, 10,000 taels of silver ticket, he had never seen it in his life. Even when he was a bookkeeper in Qingniu Town, he had never seen such a large denomination of silver tickets.
Luo Xinyi looked at Fu Xiaowa and took out all the 10,000 taels he had just allocated, and kept no one for himself, which was indeed shocking. Qiao Ruyan didn't know Fu Xiaowa on the first day, but she was still touched by it.
"Frog, you, where did you get so much money, this, this, this is 10,000 taels, there is still more to buy the entire village!"
Fu Xiaowa smiled: "No matter how much money it is, it is not as good as the nurturing grace of the villagers, my Fu Xiaowa's life is the villagers, and every qiē is the villagers!"
Uncle Zhang couldn't refuse, because it was for the whole village, and he couldn't be the master, so he had to accept the silver ticket with trembling hands, and sighed: "Although we know that you will definitely be productive when you grow up." It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast, raising children to prevent old age is a common saying of the elderly, now we can raise one enough, enough!"
"Improve the lives of the villagers, okay, let's take a step ahead, and when we come back from the mountain, I will come to visit you again!" Fu Xiaowa said goodbye.
The entire village watched Fu Xiaowa and the others leave, and waited to divide the silver into two. Everyone knows the meaning of 10,000 taels, and everyone shares dozens of taels of silver, and for the people in the village, dozens of taels of silver is a huge amount of money.
Baiyun Mountain. It was still as white as a mist, as thick as milk. In fact, no one knows how high Baiyun Mountain is, because no one has ever been to the top of the mountain, and the clouds on the top of the mountain have been continuous for many years and have never dispersed.
Soon, the nearest trail was over. Embark on a long journey into the wilderness. This is also the place where Fu Xiaowa doesn't often go when he chops wood, that is, when he picks herbs, he occasionally comes over a few times.
Nachen Orion has been hunting on this mountain for half his life, in this wilderness. I also hunt for good harvests from time to time. However, the blind bears here are very big, and even the mountain tigers and wolves are particularly fierce, and he will be cautious when he comes and goes.
There is white fog everywhere, except for the fog. It's still fog, the fog of this Baiyun Mountain really lives up to its name, the four people have been moving forward on the wilderness, and the four of them are in a straight line, and they can't see the previous one.
Because of the fog, there are wet and sold everywhere, which makes people feel greasy and uncomfortable. It is estimated that in this area, even lighting a fire is a problem.
On the way, he met a few wild wolves, half a person was so tall, which surprised Chen Orion, he was lucky before, he had never met such a big wild wolf, but today it is a coincidence, and these few people who are good at kung fu, otherwise they will have half a life left if they don't die.
As soon as Luo Xinyi made a move, he understood these wild wolves in three or two clicks, and let the Chen Orion be busy saying that it was dangerous, he had never encountered it before taking risks for a good harvest, and sure enough, he would eventually meet a ghost after walking a lot at night, but fortunately, he had a helper when he encountered a ghost.
With Chen Orion's experience, a few people soon came to the foot of Baiyun Mountain, and the fog at the foot of this mountain was even thicker, as if it was about to turn into water.
On a large bluestone, several people began to rest a little and prepare for the mountain.
"This Baiyun Mountain is indeed dangerous, not something ordinary people can go to, and the fierce beasts along the way are not accessible to ordinary people, but the real danger is still on this mountain!" Chen Orion said.
"What's so dangerous on this mountain?"
Chen Orion said: "This mountain has poisonous obstacles, poisonous insects, fierce beasts, dangerous places, and complex terrain, which makes people unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south!"
"This time, it's really troublesome for the old man!"
Chen Orion said with a smile: "Where is it, in fact, I have indeed been on this mountain, and I have carefully walked forward a little bit for the first time, and I have a lot of experience in this half of my life!"
Fu Xiaowa said: "That's for you!"
After a short rest, everyone ate dry food, filled their stomachs, and then packed up and started to go up the mountain.
Finally began to carry out the dangerous journey of this Baiyun Mountain, four mermaids began to go up, the stones of this Baiyun Mountain, are wet and slippery, one is not careful, it will roll down the mountain, and from time to time there are all kinds of poisonous snakes burrowing through, just under the nose, because the fog is so thick, you can see clearly in front of you.
This old hunter is experienced, has a male yellow on his body, can avoid some snakes and insects, he looks around for the stones in his memory, to tell the way. He has spent most of his life groping, remembering, and going deeper into it little by little.
Following the route he had figured out, several followed, and in this strange and secluded place, this Orion became their dependent.
Chen Orion led them through a number of extremely dangerous cliffs, these cliffs are not dangerous places in ordinary mountains, and here, when you walk to the front, you will find that there is an abyss in front of you, if you can't stop it, you will fall headlong.
Human beings, for the sake of treasures, dare to break through anything dangerous, this is the spirit of human beings pursuing the realm of martial arts, even if it is a 1 in 10,000 chance, countless masters are successful in these 1 in 10,000, and enter the next 1 in 10,000 elimination.
Fu Xiaowa was a little panicked in his heart, feeling that his whole body was wet, and there was fog all around, very thick fog, and he didn't know how long he had been walking on this mountain, but he only knew that he had gone deep into the unusual Cheng dù. The feeling here is always changing, and the further you go, the more you feel dangerous, it's a creature intuition, an instinct for danger.
And here, those venomous snakes that are more than a foot long are already very ordinary, and poisonous snakes like this are rare to see outside, but they are the most common here.
"Ginseng, what a big ginseng?" Fu Xiaowa pounced in surprise in front of a ginseng beside him, slashed and slashed, and dug out a ginseng as thick as a wrist.
Qiao Ruyan looked back and exclaimed: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng, but it is sold for 10,000 taels outside, and you will get back the 10,000 taels of silver just now!"
"This is really good, I need something to refine Tianyuan Dan!" Fu Xiaowa happily measured the ginseng in his hand, it really felt good, he was used to holding those finger-sized ginsengs on weekdays, and now he had a feeling of holding it in his hand, and he was really excited.
