On the narrow road in the valley, Lin Zidai, Lu Chun, and Jia Lihu were walking forward in a hurry. However, the former was strong and the latter was full of physical strength. Only Lu Chun, who was caught in the middle, was miserable.
The cliff at the intersection was as thin as an ax blade and looked very fragile. However, as they gradually deepened, the terrain under their feet rose, and the cliffs beside them became the same height as the road under their feet. No wonder Jia Lianhu kept saying that it didn't matter which way these two roads went, it turned out that they were connected together here.
At this time, Lu Chun was exhausted both physically and mentally. He really didn't want to take another step, but he couldn't save face to let the two people in front and behind him support him, so he could only hold on while feeling dizzy.
At the end of the day, Lu Chun's mind went blank, leaving only his body mechanically repeating the movement of walking forward.
When he woke up again, he suddenly found that he was lying in a cave, and in front of him was a flickering fire.
"Brother Lu Chun, you're awake!" Lu Chun was dazed when he suddenly heard a greeting from beside him. He turned around and saw Jia Orion handing over a water bag.
Lu Chun saw that this water bag was used by Lin Zidai to hold the medicinal liquid for him. He took it without saying a word and drank a few gulps. However, this time he only felt that the taste of the medicinal liquid was much lighter than before. , even if I was devouring it, I no longer had the spicy and nauseating feeling before.
After entering the entrance of the medicine, Lu Chun felt that the fatigue in his body had dissipated a lot. He moved his limbs a few times to ease the numbness, and then he sat up holding on to the stone wall behind him: "Old Jia, where is Duzi Lin?"
"Sir, where is he..." Jia Orion lowered his voice and pointed toward the distance.
Lu Chun turned around and looked towards the direction of the fire, only to find a figure standing outside the cave not far away. Although there was nothing special about this figure, Lu Chun could clearly see that this person was enveloped in a "wandering" mood. middle.
Seeing Lu Chun about to stand up, Jia Lihu quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, but Lu Chun patted the latter's shoulder and told him to sit back down, and then slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Zizi Lin, what are you doing here without resting at night? Did you find some treasure?"
"Brother Lu, are you awake?" Lin Zidai looked Lu Chun up and down and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
"How does it feel?" Lu Chun snorted coldly, "I'm not someone who likes to complain. Why didn't you tell me earlier about the decline in effectiveness of the medicinal herbs? I remember you said it clearly at the beginning, this 'Five Tooth Dew' If you can sustain the consumption of the sequelae of Burning Qi, you don’t have to worry about your life! If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll die of exhaustion on the road before I can find the source of Zhengqi!”
"Sorry..." Lin Zidai smiled bitterly and quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry every day. My ears are almost ringing with noise!" Before Lin Zidai could finish speaking, Lu Chun interrupted Lin Zidai's explanation with a grunt, "Lin Zidai, listen to me! If I die on the road due to sequelae, I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost!”
Lin Zidai's face showed a rare hint of relief: "Brother Lu, the sequelae are actually not that serious..."
"Ah? Are you serious?" Lu Chun was stunned.
"Yes, after all, this matter can only be considered after you survive the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes." Lin Zidai continued.
"You idiot Lin, how dare you make fun of me!" Lu Chun grinned and waved his hand to hit Lin Zidai.
Lin Zidai just turned slightly to dodge the attack, and then stepped back a few steps on his toes. Lu Chun was about to take action, but when he glanced at him, he saw that Wu Yun was being held in Lin Zidai's arms. Perhaps because Lin Zidai had moved too much just now, Wu Yun actually made a grunting sound.
After all, Wu Yun was drunk by himself and became like this. He was afraid that the latter would wake up and settle the score with him, so he stepped back and cursed in a low voice: "You idiot Lin, you actually learned how to bully others." Yes! I’m not in the same mood as you today, let’s see!”
After saying that, Lu Chun fled back to the fire in despair, and fell asleep with his eyes narrowed.
Although it was already dark at this time, Lin Zidai could not sleep. Although he had the Jinghuo Pot that guided the direction of Qi Medical Sect, he was very confused in his heart. After all, apart from his father, he really had no other impression of Qi Medical Sect, and he was not confident that he could find the secret room of Qi Medical Sect and find the source of Zheng Qi in it.
Now that Lu Chun was suddenly interrupting his thoughts, Lin Zidai also swept away the haze in his heart and no longer felt any uneasiness. He reached out his hand to calm the dark clouds a few times, and then said to himself: "Brother Lu, thank you very much."
The whole night was silent, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn the next day. Lu Chun felt refreshed and energetic after a night's rest, thinking that even if he could walk a thousand and eight hundred miles in one breath, it would be no problem.
Lu Chun yawned and stretched when he came outside the cave. He saw Jia Lihu and Lin Zidai waiting outside early, looking at the south and talking about something. He poked his head and looked over there, and what he saw in the distance was a very uncoordinated patch of green.
"Huh? Where is that place over there, and why is the scenery so abnormal?" Lu Chun came to the edge of the cliff and asked.
"Brother Lu Chun, that's the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes!" Jia Lihu explained, "The reason why the trees in Ten Thousand Snakes Valley grow so well is said to be because the deep underground there is connected to the underground sacred fire of Huashengtang! But maybe it's because of the trees there. It was too lush and airtight. When I passed by it, I only felt cold and damp..."
"No matter what the situation is, let's take action before dawn. I don't want to become the dinner of these 'little dragons'." Although the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes seems to be right at your feet, the journey is quite far, and Lu Chun doesn't want to be there. Spend the night near Ten Thousand Snakes Valley, he urged hurriedly.
"This snake is divided into a diurnal snake and a nocturnal snake. Normally, you can avoid it by adjusting the time. However, there are many snakes in the Ten Thousand Snakes Valley. No matter when you pass by, encountering snakes is inevitable. " Jia Orion explained.
"Since it's not about snakes, what are you two discussing here?" Lu Chun asked.
"Brother Lu, have you noticed anything unusual?" Lin Zidai said calmly, looking at the sky with an expressionless face.
"Abnormal?" Lu Chun looked at Lin Zidai and saw a blue sky above his head. Occasionally, a few clouds were torn into blossoming flowers by the wind, making the sky look like it was dyed blue.
Lu Chun was confused for a while, thinking that there was nothing in the sky. What kind of riddle were these two people playing with him? But he reacted in the next moment and exclaimed: "Huh? Why is the hunting falcon missing?"
When the first few people were being monitored by the Falcon, they felt very uncomfortable and just hoped that this guy would disappear from their sight. But now that the hunting falcon really fulfilled their wish, several people started to feel uneasy.
"I remember that the fake village chief asked Lao Jia to take us to the Wall of Return. What did he mean? Did he think that we would definitely die and gave up surveillance?" Lu Chun said to himself, "Let's not talk about that first. Where is the hunting falcon? We can't just keep chasing it, right?"
"Brother Lu is right. It's really not an option for us to stop here. In this case, we can only take one step at a time, but remember, it's better to be careful!" That dark cloud has never woken up since he was drunk. , Lin Zidai could only put it back into the bamboo house behind him again, and took the lead.
Although there was no falcon to guide them, they had determined the general direction at a high altitude, so they did not encounter any obstacles on the road. After walking smoothly for about two hours, they finally saw the dense jungle appearing in front of them.
When viewed from a distance, there was nothing surprising about this jungle. It was only when they came to the foot of the jungle that they discovered that the branches and leaves above their heads covered the sky, and the vines under their feet were connected vertically and horizontally. The two were like a dragnet. The world in front of you is sandwiched in the middle, making people look a little breathless.
Lu Chun stood in front of the Ten Thousand Snakes Valley and smelled waves of putrid stench wafting out from the dense forest. Suddenly, he felt his stomach churn and his expression became numb.
The moment Lin Zidai smelled this smell, he frowned. He hurriedly pulled the two people beside him far away, and stuffed a pill into the mouth of Lu Chun, who was looking dull. Then he hurriedly poured it on Lu Chun. After pricking a few needles, the latter's gradually turning blue complexion was relieved.
"What, what's going on?" Lu Chun came back to his senses, and then he felt that his legs and feet were getting weak for a while, and his body suddenly felt cold and unbearably hot.
"Mias will be produced after the corpses of animals and plants in the Ten Thousand Snakes Valley rot. At this time, the forest is warm and humid, and the outside is cold and dry, so air currents are generated to send out the miasma. Therefore, Brother Lu must have just caught the cold. Miasma." Lin Zidai checked Lu Chun's condition and explained, "But don't worry, Lu Chun, I have already taken the evil-dispelling elixir for you. In less than three days, the condition on your body will be exposed."
"Ah? But we also smelled that smell. Why are you two okay?" Lu Chun secretly cursed for bad luck, and then asked with an aggrieved look.
"Because I am a disciple of Qi Medicine and I am immune to all evil, so this miasma has no impact on me." Lin Zidai explained, "As for Brother Jia..."
Lin Zidai suddenly paused at this point, but Lu Chun reacted instantly when he heard the words, hurriedly retreated and hid behind Lin Zidai, and said solemnly: "Zi Zi Lin, you mean to say that Jia Orion is the Xinghuo Sect The door owner pretended to be?"
Jia Lihu looked shocked when he heard this, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Sir! Don't listen to brother Lu Chun's nonsense! I am the real deal!"
Lin Zidai didn't expect such a situation and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Brother Lu, don't be nervous. I'm not doubting Brother Jia's identity. I just want to say that the reason why Brother Jia is not infected with cold miasma may be because of my father." 's sake."
"Although these four gentlemen's prescriptions can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, they are not a panacea! According to Brother Jia's description, his condition at that time should have been terminally ill and could not be saved by the four gentlemen. Therefore, my father must have used Zhengqi's medical skills to treat Jia Orion. Strengthen the body and eliminate evil, so he will be immune to the cold miasma." Lin Zidai explained.
"Sir, you are right. I seem to have this impression..." Jia Orion nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
"I'm talking about idiot Lin, when did you get this problem of breathing heavily when talking? Now that I know, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lu Chun breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile.
"I just figured it out." Lin Zidai smiled and never said a word of apology this time.
