Before going to bed, Zhao Lin took out a piece of cooked pork liver from his food bag, put it in his mouth and chewed it, savoring the special and charming aroma.
Pork liver is something that people both love and hate. Those who like to eat it especially love it and think it is the most delicious thing in the world.
People who don't like it feel that its taste is like chewing wax and the taste is difficult to swallow.
Zhao Lin belongs to the former.
After eating, he lay down in his clothes.
The trunk is thick and flat, the branches and leaves are dense, and there is no risk of falling from the top.
Zhao Lin settled into a comfortable position and was about to fall asleep when he heard a sharp whistling sound in his ears.
Suddenly I sat up and saw a firework rising not far from the mountain. It was colorful and extremely dazzling in the night sky.
In the darkness, two figures could be vaguely seen speeding towards that direction, at an alarming speed.
Most likely, some disciples encountered strange beasts and lit warning fireworks.
Do you want to go take a look?
Now is the time when some nocturnal animals are out and about, and there is a certain risk in rushing. However, if the elders or deacons have killed the strange beasts and rush over now, maybe their souls will still be warm.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin quickly got down from the tree and ran towards the scene of the incident.
Hearing is fully opened, and whenever he encounters a moving animal, he avoids it in advance, like a bat walking through the dark night.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, we arrived at a hillside below the mountainside.
Deep in the woods, there are thick bushes.
There seemed to be a lot of people hiding in the dark and watching, and Zhao Lin noticed a slight breathing sound about ten feet away from him.
"Zhang Jin, you should see clearly before setting off fireworks."
"Roe deer are docile and harmless to humans and animals. Don't worry if you encounter one. I told you before going into the mountains."
"Yes, yes, I was nervous for a moment, thinking I had encountered a vicious beast, and it kept following me, so I couldn't hold it back..."
Under the moonlight, Elder Lutu and a deacon were talking to a disciple.
Next to the three people stood a large beast with twig-like horns on its head, resembling an ox or a deer. Its ears were curled, as if it was listening to their conversation.
Zhao Lin listened for a while and quickly understood what was going on.
It turned out that the disciple named Zhang Jin found a cave and spent the night in the cave.
Unexpectedly, this cave has an owner, and the owner is a strange beast called a roe deer.
The roe deer came back to sleep in the middle of the night and just happened to block Zhang Jin inside.
Zhang Jin couldn't see clearly in the cave, but vaguely saw a huge beast. He was so frightened that he hit him twice with a tendon stick, but the beast didn't feel the pain and even rushed towards him.
Zhang Jin was so frightened that he ran outside. Unexpectedly, the beast was chasing after him, so he had no choice but to light warning fireworks.
Zhao Lin shook his head gently. Fortunately, Zhang Jin encountered a roe deer. If it had been a ferocious beast, he might not have been able to save his life.
Most of the disciples of Wuxiangyuan were born in wealthy families and had no experience in surviving in the wild. They took it for granted that the cave was secluded and quiet and suitable for spending the night in it.
Little did he know that once he was stuck in it, he wouldn't even be able to escape.
The bright moonlight shone on the roe deer, and Zhao Lin recalled the memory of this strange beast.
All things are born, and although there are many ferocious and cruel beasts, there are also docile and harmless ones.
Roe deer feed on twigs, mushrooms, and berries, and their temperament is similar to that of most herbivores, but they are extremely curious.
This roe deer probably came after Zhang Jin curiously because he hadn't seen a stranger in many years, wanting to see what was going on.
Perhaps because it was boring, the roe deer listened for a while, then swung its tail and walked away slowly.
"It's okay. You'd better find another place to spend the night."
Elder Lutu said to Zhang Jin, raising his eyes and looking into the darkness around him, "There's nothing interesting to see. Let's go and have a rest!"
Zhao Lin no longer wanted to watch, and quietly turned back along the way he came, back to the spruce tree.
Early the next morning, the morning light dewed slightly.
Zhao Lin got up early, washed briefly and then headed for the mountain.
Because it was the next day, the herbs on the peak must have been picked by others, so he was not in a hurry and walked along the south side of the mountain in a zigzag pattern, trying not to miss any herbs.
The mountain shape of Index Finger Peak is very strange, like a big sword standing at an angle. On the south side facing the sun, the slope is gentle, so climbing is not too difficult.
On the north side that is not exposed to light, there is a vertical cliff, even at a negative angle, which is extremely steep.
When the sun rose, Zhao Lin found three Han Ning grass in a wetland.
Han Ningcao is yin in nature and is cold in nature. It is suitable as an auxiliary medicine for yin-cold exercises and helps martial artists to stimulate relevant powers.
There are actually two types of martial arts prescriptions. One type can help martial artists break through the realm of cultivation, such as Moisturizing Pill and Wuliu Dan.
There is also a type used for practicing exercises, such as General Soup.
Prescriptions prepared from Han Ning Cao also fall into this category.
After the sun came out, Zhao Lin found a water lotus plant under a stone in a creek.
Water lotus is also a yin herb, mostly growing in cold and humid places. It is not particularly rare, but since he saw it, Zhao Lin would not let it go.
When comparing harvests, if the top herbs are almost the same, the comparison may be based on quantity.
"This Index Finger Peak is a bit interesting. It seems that all the cold herbs grow there."
Zhao Lin raised his head, glanced at the mountain peak, and said to himself.
…
Yanxing Mountains, Qianqiu Mountains.
Xiang Bao stepped on the dead leaves on the ground and walked in a poplar forest, looking around.
He looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night.
brush!
A figure suddenly flashed out from behind the big tree ahead and appeared in front of Xiang Bao without any warning.
Xiang Bao was startled, took two steps back, saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, and said happily: "Brother, I finally found you!"
The person who came was stout, with high cheekbones and deep eye sockets. His appearance was very similar to Xiang Bao. He was his brother, Xiang Shaofeng, a disciple of the inner courtyard.
"How do you know I'm here?"
Xiang Shaofeng frowned and said in a stern tone: "The beasts in Qianqiu Mountain are ferocious. We Blood Realm warriors can handle them, but you may lose your life if you encounter them!"
"Brother, I have something important to do."
Xiang Bao quickly explained: "In previous years, the hills where autumn harvests were harvested in each hospital were usually not far away. I thought it should be the same this year."
"Besides Grandpa, the silver-spotted fox has spent the longest time with you at home. I took it to the road that Qiucai often walks, and sure enough, I smelled the scent you left yesterday, so I came here."
Xiang Shaofeng snorted impatiently, "What is more important than Qiucai, and is it worth your while to come all the way to see me?"
"If the elders find out, you and I will both be punished!"
Xiang Bao gritted his teeth and whispered: "Brother, the herbs I picked in autumn were stolen by others!"
"What?"
Xiang Shaofeng was slightly startled and asked, "Is there anyone better than you in the Dancing Elephant Courtyard? Is it Zhong Yewu?"
"No, Zhong Yewu is not my opponent at all now."
"Then who else is there? Could it be that a group of people are attacking you, from which department?"
Xiang Bao lowered his head in shame, "No, he is a new disciple."
