The next day, Ding Qi shrugged his head, carried a half-full basket on his back, and looked sullen, and walked towards his home.

Ding Qi's home is at the west end of the village, and he just got out of a dilapidated adobe house at the east end of the village.

The house that Ding Qi drilled out was where Lao Zhangtou lived. Now that the old man is dead, this place has become an empty house. No one lived for more than ten days, and the location was a bit out of the way, which looked gloomy and made people reluctant to approach.

Ding Qi appeared here for a reason, naturally. He came to Lao Zhangtou to find something.

However, looking at Ding Qi's dejected appearance now, it is obvious that he has not achieved his goal.

"I've looked for it several times, and it seems that Uncle Zhang really didn't stay. Ding Qi had a bitter face and thought extremely depressed.

What Ding Qi wanted to find was a kind of martial arts cheats called Star Absorbing Dafa.

When Lao Zhangtou was telling stories to Ding Qi, he mentioned many times that he was a top martial arts master in his last life. What he cultivated was a peerless martial art called Star Absorbing Dafa, which was completely different from the superficial True Qi Movement Heart Method that Ding Qi had cultivated.

Ding Qi once tried to learn this martial arts method that was praised by Lao Zhangtou, but Lao Zhangtou refused to agree.

Now that Lao Zhangtou is dead, Ding Qi has no chance.

However, in the stories of the rivers and lakes told by Lao Zhang Tou in the past, many martial arts masters like to record their martial arts before they die and leave them to those who are destined.

Ding Qi is planning to come here and rummage around to see if he can find the secret book of this star-absorbing Dafa.

This is not the first time Ding Qi has searched for this kind of martial arts method, whether it is this house or the place where Lao Zhang Tou often stays, he has searched before, but he has found nothing.

Last night, Ding Qi inadvertently thought of a few places that he had overlooked, so he came over today to check again. I thought I would find something, but in the end it was in vain.

"It is estimated that Uncle Zhang did not expect that he would encounter that kind of thing and die unexpectedly. Ding Qi thought helplessly.

Looking back at the dilapidated adobe house not far away, Tin Qi estimated that he would not come here again.

Although the old hunters all said that Lao Zhangtou was probably caused by the accident because he was competing with the tiger for mountain ginseng. But not many people really believe it. Most of the people in the village believe that Lao Zhangtou was unlucky enough to encounter a tiger eating people. The five precious mountain ginseng plants that appeared nearby were just coincidences.

Ding Qi felt that the judgment of the old hunters was closer to the truth.

Lao Zhangtou once occasionally said to Ding Qi that it was not impossible to bring his body back to life.

Relying on some precious medicinal materials, and then according to the secret method in his memory, he made a special potion to take, which can reactivate the vitality of his body.

Among the medicinal materials mentioned by Lao Zhangtou, there are hundred-year-old mountain ginseng.

In this way, it makes sense why he appeared in the mountains and fought with the tiger.

The truth of the matter is similar to what Ding Qi thought.

Lao Zhangtou did go deep into the mountains in search of precious medicinal materials, and it was for those precious mountain ginseng that he fought with the tiger.

The only thing that Lao Zhangtou didn't expect was that not only did he not get the medicinal materials he wanted this time, but he also died in the mountains and forests.

Naturally, there was no chance to leave the peerless martial arts in his mind.

Peerless martial arts such as star-absorbing Dafa are generally passed down by word of mouth between master and apprentice, and no words are established. The requirements for qualifications are also extremely demanding.

Ding Qi is just a young man from a mountain village with ordinary qualifications, how could he get into the eyes of Lao Zhangtou, who has the memory of a peerless master.

Naturally, he didn't plan to pass on this exercise to Ding Qi at all.

According to Old Man Zhang's idea, it should be after he borrows the power of the refined medicine and recovers a certain amount of strength, he should find a person with high qualifications, and let that person kneel three times and bow nine times to the master, and then pass on this star-absorbing Dafa.

However, the world is unpredictable, and what happened next did not go as Lao Zhang wanted.

While searching for herbs to refine medicine, he died unexpectedly.

In the end, this star-absorbing Dafa, which is often mentioned from Lao Zhangtou's mouth, has never had a chance to appear in this world again with Lao Zhangtou's death.

If Lao Zhang Tou knew that he was lucky enough to enter the mountain this time, in order not to lose the exercises, even if Ding Qi's qualifications were poor, he would pass on the Star Absorbing Dafa to him.

After a few moments, Ding Qi returned home.

After unloading the dry firewood from his back, Ding Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the hot sweat on his head.

Ding Qi is nearly thirteen years old this year, and he is half a laborer at home. In addition to helping his family work in the fields, collecting firewood from the mountains is also his main job. Today, nature is no exception.

After putting down the basket, Ding Qi took out the large bundle of dry firewood from it. Then he groped for the bottom of the basket and took out an inconspicuous grass from underneath, with a rather happy look on his face. This grass looks no different from ordinary weeds in the mountains. However, looking at Ding Qi's very precious appearance, it is obviously extraordinary.

This grass is naturally not an ordinary weed, the people in the mountains call it chicken tail grass, and the learned people outside the mountain call it anchovy grass, which is a kind of medicinal herb that can be found on Qixia Mountain.

Because this herb has a strange colorful color like the tail of a big rooster. However, the color of this colorful color is extremely light, and you need to get close to see it. From a distance, there is no noticeable difference from ordinary weeds.

Qixia Mountain is the name of this mountain range near Zhangjiaao, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and is a large mountain in Jingzhou.

When you first hear the name, many people who are not familiar with it think that this mountain range is a beautiful place. In fact, it is not. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a poor mountain and a bad water. Miasma of poisonous insects is countless.

Every year during the thunderstorm season, the seven-colored poisonous mist miasma will fill the mountains, and from a distance, it looks like a colorful glow. Therefore, I don't know when there was such an elegant name.

The medicinal herbs in the mountains are produced among the few kinds.

Because it is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and it is at the junction of many borders, it has been a three-way zone for a long time. Even now, when I ask the people in the nearby mountains which country they belong to, most of them can't answer.

As a herb produced in Qixia Mountain, anchovy grass has considerable medicinal value. Even the government has come forward to buy it. A plant of anchovy grass can be exchanged for food for the Ding family for three or five days, no wonder Ding Qi is so happy.

This herb is not easy to pick.

Unlike other herbs, this anchovy does not have a fixed growth environment, and is mixed with dense weeds in the mountains. In addition, it is not much different from ordinary weeds, so it is difficult to spot.

There is no other skill than searching in the mountains and forests. In many cases, it is not possible to find a single plant in more than ten days.

The main force in the search for anchovy grass in the mountains is not an adult, but a child.

Strange to say, children are more likely to search for this herb than more thoughtful adults. On average, adults find one, and children find two or three.

Ding Qi heard others say that this is because children are more spiritual than adults, and anchovies are also spiritual things, so they can be found more easily.

Ding Qi was nearly thirteen years old, and according to the opinion of the mountain people, he was almost past the age of spirituality. In the next few years, it will be more and more difficult to find anchovies.

However, Ding Qi was surprised to find that in the past six months, the frequency of his search for anchovy grass has been getting higher and higher. From bringing one plant in the past more than ten days, to five or six days, and then to three or four days now. Sometimes, Ding Qi would even bring two or three plants at a time.

Soon, though, Tincey discovered the cause of this strange thing.

All of this came from the true qi in his body.

In the past six months or so, Ding Qi found that as he continued to refine the true qi that Lao Zhang Toudu gave him and completely integrated them into his body, it was easier and easier for him to find anchovy grass. It was as if the anchovy grass had some kind of wonderful sense of true qi in the body.

He was pleasantly surprised by this discovery. He eventually guessed that it was because of the increase in the True Qi refined by his body that it was easier and easier for him to find the anchovy grass. As long as you continue to cultivate your True Qi, it should be easier to find the anchovy grass. This is also an important reason why Ding Qi did not give up his true qi cultivation.

Under the joy of harvesting anchovy grass today, Ding Qi did not find the secret book of martial arts, and the disappointment accumulated in his heart finally dissipated a lot. When it was time to go to bed at night, he completely let go of this matter.

At this time, Ding Qi was thinking more about finding a few anchovies in the mountains tomorrow to improve the life of the family and let his greedy sister eat a few more meats.
