Early the next morning, before dawn, everyone got up.
The Holy King Festival is about to begin.
Qinghu and the others followed the crowd and walked to a beach.
The tide receded strangely and quickly. A road of pebbles that went deep into the seabed was revealed.
Just at the end of the gravel road, five or six miles into the sea, dots of faint blue light began to appear.
Little by little at first, gradually they appeared in patches, like stars in the sky.
In the place shrouded by those stars, Qinghu saw a large flat stone altar.
There are thousands of mottled and chipped stone pillars on the altar.
Around these stone pillars, there are small pieces of black things that seem to be able to squirm.
"Those little black dots are black worms." Han Sui led two other boys and two martial arts guards who looked like guards as they walked beside Qing Hu and the others.
"Black worm?" Qinghu was puzzled.
"Are there no black worms in your house?" Han Sui asked equally surprised.
Qinghu shook her head directly.
"Then the environment at your house is okay. The environment at our house is not good. There are black worms everywhere, and you can't kill them. These kind of things will eat anything, dead people, dirt, rocks. No matter what they are, they will eat them. It can be swallowed.
As you eat, you turn a good place into a bad land. Not even a blade of grass can grow. If you stay in such a land for a long time, you will get sick. "
"I think those little things are very weak, why not burn them?" Qinghu asked in confusion.
"There are so many black worms that you can't burn them all even if you want to. Besides, can you burn all the heaven and earth, mountains, rivers and lakes to dryness? Even if you burn them dry, it seems that they are all gone now, and they will come back in a few days. Didn't know where he came from.
There's no way to clean it up at all. "
Han Sui said with a depressed and annoyed look.
"Those little things are so small and there are so many of them. Hundreds of thousands or millions of them are designated for one insect mother. If you burn the insect mother to death, the other insects will definitely run away in fear. Other insect mothers I will not dare to come to you again because I am afraid of death."
When Qing Hu said this, Han Sui's eyes lit up.
"Is your news true or false? Is there really a mother insect?"
"It must be true. The weaker the bugs are, the easier they are to bully. And after they have been hurt to a certain extent, they will instinctively feel fear and awe. But at this time, they become fierce and unruly. He is afraid of death, and sometimes the insect swarm dies along the way, but he still continues to complete his previous mission.
Then there must be an insect mother directing their actions. As long as the insect mother's order is not cancelled, they will die on the way to charge.
At this time, as long as you find the female insect and kill it, all the insects in this area will run away and dissipate. "
I realized that what Qinghu said was probably true.
Han Sui immediately asked with great interest, "Brother Shen, where did you get the news about the Insect Mother?"
"Ahem, I can't tell you." Qinghu apologized with her eyes.
Han Sui: "Forget it, forget it, I'll tell my family about this and let them take care of it. But without the insect mother, the insect swarm dispersed. Will the insect swarm regenerate the insect mother?"
"After the insect swarm without the insect mother disbands, there is a high probability that the stragglers will be taken in by other insect mothers around them. There is a small chance that a new weak insect mother will be born, but there is also competition between the insect mothers. If they can successfully devour one Insect mothers, then newborn insect mothers, are also great nourishment for those veteran insect mothers. Therefore, the most likely possibility for the new generation of insect mothers is to take their own small insect swarms and run far away to hide, what? When will the insect swarm at its peak be restored and come back again?" Qing Hu continued to explain to Han Sui.
"So that's it, these bugs are quite interesting." Han Sui sighed.
"If you want to know more about bugs, you'd better raise a few nests." Qinghu gave him a good idea.
Han Sui suddenly felt that his bones were all numb.
No, he doesn't want to raise bugs.
"I don't have that hobby, I won't raise it, I won't raise it." He has absolutely no true love for bugs. While shaking his head and saying no, he looked at the guard beside him and asked him to pass the solution to the black worm back to the family.
If their family used it in time, they might be able to save several cities.
"That's a pity." Qinghu lamented. "By the way, I see that the place in front looks a bit like a round altar?" Qinghu asked, pointing to the place where the faint blue light spots gathered much closer to them. .
"The Holy King's Palace has always been very mysterious. It is said to be involved in the origin of our human race. Over the years, the Nu Jiao Kingdom has been in decline. Natural and man-made disasters in the country have made both the lower and upper classes dissatisfied. Everyone expects someone to wait for several human races from the Holy King's Palace. Find some effective method in the ancient forbidden land."
"If you want to change, shouldn't you find a way on your own? I've never heard of anyone asking for ideas from the ancient forbidden land?" Qing Hu said with a strange expression. "You guys have done a serious job of chewing the old man."
Cough cough cough, Han Sui looked at him speechlessly.
Qinghu gave a fake and naive smile.
"Actually, we are also looking for other ways to transform the country into a powerful country, but none of them have succeeded. The more we struggle, the more we struggle to destroy the Angry Dragon Kingdom." Han Sui let out a long sigh.
Qing Hu was shocked, "You guys are too awesome. Is this the real version of getting more and more dead?"
Han Sui didn't even know how to talk to him.
Why does this little guy have such a poisonous mouth?
"It's coming soon, everyone, please prepare. Everyone is separated when teleporting into the Holy King's Palace. However, almost all landings are in the outer area. You can find your own partners before entering the inner palace of the Holy King's Palace."
There are specialized middle-aged martial arts cultivators who are maintaining order, while maintaining order and shouting at the same time.
This is because some people are here for the first time and don’t understand anything.
Those who participate in the Holy King Festival every year are all the young talents of the new generation of the Angry Dragon Kingdom. Of course, we cannot let everyone suffer inexplicable losses.
"After entering the Holy King's Palace, when you see your fellow tribesmen in trouble, you must try your best to help them. If you find that a foreign race is chasing your fellow tribesmen, or yourself. You must protect yourself first, and then rescue your fellow tribesmen. If you really can't rescue, hurry up Look for fellow tribesmen around you and hunt down those alien tribes.
One person's strength is weak, but a hundred or a thousand of you can hunt them down and completely annihilate them. "
The samurai changed people one after another and called out other precautions.
Soon it was Qinghu's turn.
Just before everyone was about to step into the formation, Qing Hu took out a small gourd and sucked it at Yun Dou and Yun Yan. The two young boys immediately became the size of soybeans and were sucked into the gourd.
Then Qinghu led Gourd into the teleportation array.
When Han Sui saw it, he quickly shouted, "Brother, you might as well suck us into the gourd and dig them out together when we get inside."
"It's done." Qing Hu sucked at the five of them, and as a result, five more little soybeans entered the gourd's mouth.
Seven people fell into the gourd's belly one after another, and immediately felt the soft white clouds under their feet.
Sitting on the clouds also feels soft, like sitting on a thick cotton cushion.
"This gourd is pretty good. I'll ask Brother Shen tomorrow if he wants to buy the gourd. If he sells it, I will buy it," Han Sui said.
"Many of my masters have gourds like this. This kind of gourd is called the belly of the sky. It can be used to hold wine, people, or spiritual animals." Yun Yan quickly promoted. He saw at least hundreds of acres of this kind of gourd vine in the Diming Baoshu space.
Each gourd vine can bear more than ten gourds of various sizes.
"Then I will buy one from him later."
Before he could finish saying this, he and the others were poured out directly.
The air here is gray. Full of smog. The haze is white in some places, and black, gray, yellow and black-yellow in other places.
This time everyone fell on the outskirts of the forest.
In an ordinary forest, even at the edge of the forest, the air is fresh, and one breath can soothe your heart and lungs.
The air here seems to be filled with all kinds of dust and dust.
The fishy smell also carries the stench of decay.
Qinghu quickly took out a stack of half gas masks. Focus on covering your nose.
"Oh dad, what the hell is this place?"
Yun Dou and Yun Yan also quickly took the masks and blocked their noses.
Han Sui also took over the mask, and his people also put on masks.
"The environment here in the Holy Palace is getting worse and worse. No wonder they all say that it is getting more difficult to enter the Holy Palace every year. It is indeed difficult to enter. If you keep breathing the bad air here, I think we will all get sick if we go back."
"No, oh..." Qing Hu's feet slipped and she almost fell.
Just under her feet, the clumps of grass and rattan were actually rotting.
Stepping into a slippery pit.
Yun Dou, who was beside Qing Hu, quickly grabbed Qing Hu.
Qinghu stabilized her body and then swept it to the ground.
"Who is this? How did Luyang Ginseng's garden become so dilapidated and corrupt?" Qinghu said in amazement.
"What Luyang Ginseng?" Han Sui asked in shock.
"Yundou, hurry up and dig out the Luyang ginseng next to my feet. Check it, don't dig it out."
The cloud bucket must not be broken. Then simply cut a piece of wood and bamboo to excavate. Not long after, a big rotten ball-shaped head was dug out.
Ahem, if no sarcomas or abscesses had grown out, the body of this weird thing would vaguely look like some kind of cone-shaped large carrot.
Before Yun Dou dug out the radish, Qing Hu had already moved out a large wooden barrel, which was filled with spiritual spring water and a tablespoon of divine liquid. Later, several kinds of powders were added, and she stirred them vigorously with a wooden stick to make a dark green juice.
As soon as the radish was unearthed, Qinghu asked him to throw the radish over and into the barrel.
"Just soak it for half an hour. Yun Yan, you and Yun Dou continue digging. I will dig out all these Luyang ginseng."
"Is Luyang Ginseng a kind of spiritual creature?" Han Sui came over and asked.
"This Lu Yang Ginseng is a good thing." Qing Hu nodded. "Lvyang ginseng has a form. When it is a cub, it is a spiritual being. Once it has lived for ten thousand years, it becomes a god. Luyang ginseng is an excellent medicinal material for replenishing expectations. As long as the blood has not completely dried up, you will be full of essence after taking one bite. The blood can be replenished."
"So good?" Han Sui immediately widened his eyes.
"That's it." As Qinghu said, he kept throwing out the barrels, and then continued to add ingredients to prepare barrels of liquid.
"Then the liquid you prepared can decompose the spoiled parts of Luyang Ginseng?" Han Sui asked smartly. He knew that some pharmacists were very powerful and could separate the rotten parts of some medicinal materials from the medicinal materials themselves.
Although it may reduce some medicinal properties, it is still better than not being able to use the medicinal materials at all.
"No." Qinghu said with certainty.
"Then what are you doing with it?" Han Sui was confused.
"Of course we need to save it." Qinghu said. "It's a pity to give up such good Luyang ginseng. I plan to try to save them. If I can save a few, I can also build a Luyang ginseng medicine garden later."
Han Sui was deeply jealous.
Look, someone wants to build a medicinal garden of Luyang ginseng, but he doesn’t have any.
"Then I'll dig some too."
"Then you go ahead and dig it. I saw that there are about seventy or eighty acres of Luyang ginseng here. Go ahead and dig it." Qing Hu didn't believe how much he could dig. You'll find out when he digs one out.
Han Sui quickly rolled up his arms and sleeves and led others to dig.
As a result, after digging for a while, a stream of dark, sticky water was dug out.
The key point is that this thick water is particularly smelly.
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Han Sui hurriedly took his people to bathe in the creek far away.
In fact, the creek is not very clean.
But it's better than theirs.
Qinghu walked over and stamped her foot, and a shriveled Luyang Ginseng jumped out of the ground. There was also a big gash on the left shoulder.
Han Sui's group of unlucky guys actually dug up Luyang Ginseng.
Qinghu also threw the shriveled Luyang Ginseng into the bucket. Whether they survive in the end depends on their fate.
Han Sui was still washing and washing.
I kept washing for more than two hours.
Qinghu and the others dug out all the Luyang ginseng.
Although the acres look large, the planting of Luyang ginseng is not too intensive. The three of them dug out more than 30,000 big heads in total.
When Han Sui and the others finally came back from cleaning, many of the Luyang ginseng in Qinghu were put away.
The Luyang ginseng that had been soaked for a long time was sent by Qinghu into the Diming Treasure Tree space for reprocessing.
They need to be soaked twice in the medicinal solution before they can be replanted into special culture soil. Then it is planted in a special temple for a year to completely purify the deep pollution in the body, and then it is replanted in the medicine garden.
When Han Sui saw that there were dozens of barrels on the ground, he said shamelessly, "Brother Shen, if you don't have any left, you can sell them to me."
"If I sell it to you, you won't be able to plant it. It's better for me to start planting again and sell you some seedlings."
Not to mention, Qing Hu’s suggestion particularly tempted Han Sui.
It is better to just buy seedlings and plant them.
"By the way, Brother Shen, I found a strange thing deep in the creek over there." Han Sui immediately took out a bronze fragment from his storage bracelet. There are also several mysterious words on it.
Qinghu took a closer look and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
It turns out that it was written in Siyuan divine script: Made by the Formation and Weapon Division of the Qingming Army's Weapon Refining Department.
