Seeing that Lian Jue agreed, Ni Feng turned to Ni Yan and Jing Gang and said, "Second Prince Lian agreed, let's go now." After speaking, Ni Feng took the lead with a sword and two guards into Qianyuan Gorge, followed by Jing Gang, Jing Gang was holding a spear, and two people were followed behind him, one carrying a knife and the other carrying a medicine basket, and then Yu Xiaocheng, Yu Xiaocheng was empty-handed, but there were also two people behind him, one was dressed in black and looked indifferent with a sword, and the other was carrying a medicine basket.

When they entered the Qianyuan Gorge one after another, Lian Jue said to the two guards behind him: "You guys are waiting for me here, and I will follow Fengchuan and Qi Mazi into the Qianyuan Gorge." The two guards listened to Lian Jue's words and said: "Last time Gongzi went to Shangyuan City, we didn't go together so that Gongzi was in danger, this time we must follow Gongzi and protect Gongzi." Lian Jue: "The two guards who escorted me back to Linyuan Town from Shangyuan City have been severely dealt with by my father, so they passed." Feng Chuan and Qi Mazi believe in them, you are waiting for me here. When the two guards saw Lian Jue say this, they accepted Lian Jue's arrangement.

Ni Yan didn't enter the Qianyuan Gorge herself, but Ni Yan also arranged for three people to enter the Qianyuan Gorge, and Lian Jue saw that Ni Yan didn't go in person and said: "Miss Ni, when I come back, the silver will be mine." Ni Yan: "You want to take the first, what if you can't get the first?" Lian Jue: "Then I'll send you another fifty taels of silver." Ni Yan: "I don't scarce your money. ”

Lian Jue also entered the Qianyuan Gorge, and at the same time, outside a small remote house in Linyuan Town, a young man was knocking on the door. The door creaked open, and the young man did not see the person who opened the door, but the young man was not surprised, and walked straight into the house and closed the door with his backhand.

A candle was lit on the table in the small house, and next to the table sat an old man in a black robe, with a monkey squatting on his shoulder, and the monkey's eyes were red. When the monkey saw the young man, he opened his teeth and claws, and made a violent "squeak" sound, until the old man stretched out his dry hand and stroked the monkey twice, and the monkey quieted down.

The old man looked at the young man and said, "What are you coming to me for?" and the young man: "I want to beg you to help me kill someone." Old man: "I'm not interested in killing, and I don't have the ability." Young man: "Who said you were incompetent, I saw your monkey rip open the skull of a tiger." The monkey on the old man's shoulder listened to the young man's words, and made two more "squeaks", and the old man: "I'm afraid of getting into trouble." The young man: "I will pay you twenty taels of gold." Old man: "Oh, then who are you going to kill?" Young man: "Ni Feng." Old man: "You want to kill your brother?" The young man: "He is not my brother, I am just a bastard in his eyes, there are only Ni Feng and Ni Yan brothers and sisters in the Ni family." Old man: "Even if you kill Ni Feng, you won't get the foundation of the Ni family, and you still have two brothers." The young man: "As long as Ni Feng dies, the remaining two can't stop me, and don't you help me?" The old man: "Do you want me to get on your boat?" But the risk is too great, this time I will charge you twenty taels of gold, and you will come here at this price in the future." Seeing that the old man was reluctant to let go, the young man said: "Ni Feng is going to enter the Qianyuan Gorge today, if he dies in the Qianyuan Gorge, no one will think that you and I did it, and I know that you are hiding it well, most people only think that you are just an ordinary old man." Old man: "I know, you can leave the money and leave." The young man took out a bag from his bosom and threw it to the old man, the monkey on the old man's shoulder jumped up to catch the bag and then returned to the old man's shoulder, the young man turned to open the door and left, and after going out, he pulled the door behind him and left.

Four hours of time for medicine collection seems a bit short, back and forth in half is only two hours, two hours can not go far, in the face of a large number of medicine pickers in Linyuan Town, the range that can be reached in two hours is generally patronized by medicine pickers, and few medicinal materials exist.

Lian Jue used to just take a casual look at the entrance of Qianyuan Gorge, but today he went to look for medicinal materials for the first time, but it was difficult for Lian Ergongzi. The ground was high and undulating, and from time to time there were branches hanging on his clothes, making Lian Jue panting. Fengchuan walked last, Qi Mazi led the way in front, and some branches that blocked the way were cut down by Qi Mazi with a knife.

Just entered the Qianyuan Gorge, occasionally you can meet a few medicine pickers, after the three of Lianjue Fengchuan walked for a while, the surroundings became quiet, and occasionally there was a sound of insects or birds. Suddenly, Qi Mazi said: "Lian Gongzi, there are a few Xubai trees in front. Lian Jue looked at it, and three or four green grasses growing under a tree not far away said, "No, it's not worth a few dollars." Qi Mazi listened, and continued to lead the way.

Qi Mazi silently calculated the time, feeling that the two hours were almost over, Qi Mazi said: "Lian Gongzi, it's almost two hours, are we going back?" Lian Jue saw that his group had no gain, and said a little depressedly: "Okay, go back to Linyuan Town." Before Lian Jue and them walked back, the other four groups had already gone back with Lian Jue. In addition to Jing Gang and Ni Yan's group, Ni Feng, Yu Xiaocheng's two groups and Lian Jue's group were the same, but they didn't pick any medicinal materials.

On the way back, Qi Mazi said to a tree pocket: "Alas, there is a red citrus fruit tree here, but it was cut down by someone close to the ground. Lian Jue: "Red mandarin fruit tree, I'll take a look." "The red mandarin fruit tree Fengchuan knows that the bark of the red mandarin fruit tree can be dried to make hemostatic powder. Lian Jue looked at the red mandarin fruit tree with only one tree pocket left and said disappointedly: "I'm afraid I'm going to return empty-handed this time." After speaking, Lian Jue raised his feet and continued to move forward, and Qi Mazi saw it and hurriedly went to the front to lead the way. Feng Chuan also saw the tree pocket of the red citrus fruit tree just now, but he kept thinking about whether to use the "Heart of Grass and Trees" on the red mandarin fruit tree, if he cast the "Heart of Grass and Trees" on the red orange fruit tree, if the red orange fruit tree sprouts, will it be able to help Lian Jue, Thinking of this, Feng Chuan said: "I'm going to make it convenient, or you wait for me here." Lian Jue listened and said, "It just so happens that I'm also going to take a break, so it's convenient for you to go." Feng Chuan heard this, so he avoided Lian Jue and them, and then went to the place where he found the red citrus fruit tree.

Looking at the red mandarin fruit tree in front of him, Kazekawa grabbed a shrub beside him and began to cast the "Heart of Grass and Trees", only to see that the shrub that was caught by Kazekawa began to wither, and at the same time, Kazekawa's forehead began to sweat. It turns out that the "Heart of Plants and Trees" exercise can absorb the essence of plants, and it is also possible to return the absorbed plant essence to plants, and of course, practitioners who perform the "Heart of Plants and Trees" exercise can use the absorbed essence of plants and trees for cultivation. However, the general essence of plants and trees contains very little essence of heaven and earth, and it has no effect when used for cultivation, so Fengchuan has never used the essence of plants and trees to cultivate.

As soon as he cast the "Heart of Grass and Trees", the true qi in Fengchuan's body began to be consumed, until Fengchuan felt that his true qi was almost consumed, so he stopped continuing to absorb the essence of the shrub, and then Fengchuan pointed his finger at the pocket of the red mandarin fruit tree, and all the plant essence absorbed from the shrub was poured into the pocket of the red mandarin fruit tree, only to see that the tree pocket grew a tree bud, and soon the tree bud grew to a height of half a foot and then stopped. Feng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, drew his sword and cut down the half-foot-tall red orange fruit tree, and then cut down the half-withered shrub next to it against the ground, seeing that there was no trace left, Feng Chuan went to the place where Lian Jue and them were.

Looking at the red mandarin fruit tree that Feng Chuan brought back, Lian Jue said, "Where did you find this?" Feng Chuan: "I accidentally found it just now." Lian Jue smiled: "Fengchuan, your luck is really good, you can find a red mandarin fruit tree casually, with this red mandarin fruit tree, I will not necessarily lose." ”
