"Qianzhang Mountain is so big. If you lose one wild ginseng, just find the second one. Why are you crying? If you cry here, will the wild ginseng come back on its own?"
Zhu Man was stunned and raised his hand to wipe his tears with his sleeve, "The fairy said..."
Today, his expression was relaxed and he no longer tried to scare Zhu Man with a straight face. He carefully observed the growth environment of wild ginseng. Hongyun Zhu pointed in one direction and said, "Go over there and have a look."
Although Zhu Man didn't know why Jin Chao's tone was so firm, he did not dare to refute Jin Chao's words and honestly followed the direction Jin Chao pointed.
The vegetation in front is a little withered and yellow, and the soil and sand are exposed with white edges, as if caused by lack of water. Are there really wild ginseng in this kind of place?
Zhu Man's heart was slightly shaken. He looked at Jin Zhao hesitantly, but saw that her expression was particularly serious and her eyes were fixed on one place.
It was an exquisite pig with a delicate body, about ten inches long, with dark brown hair that was shiny in the sun, rough and dense.
Its mouth is slightly shorter than that of ordinary domestic pigs, but it is very straight and keeps moving the soil.
After Zhu Man saw clearly what it was moving, he almost screamed out. Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time.
It’s wild ginseng!
And looking at the leaves, it’s still a sixth-grade wild ginseng that’s in better shape than before!
Jin Chao's hand was so strong that Zhu Man was out of breath and his face was flushed. Jin Chao noticed something strange about him, so he let go slightly and lowered his voice to warn him, "Don't scare the pigs, do you understand?"
Zhu Man nodded straightly, fearing that he would affect the current situation, and he did not dare to breathe.
Mangan Xiangzhu didn't notice anyone approaching and was concentrating on the wild ginseng. Suddenly, a stone flew from nowhere and landed in front of him.
It turned its head warily and glanced around, and a snare fell from the sky.
"Caught!"
Jin Chao said happily and stood up from behind the bushes.
She reminded the stunned Zhu Man, "Why don't you go dig wild ginseng?"
"Oh, okay!" Zhu Man reacted and approached the wild ginseng with an iron hoe. The manganese pig on the ground grunted with hostility, which frightened Zhu Man and involuntarily took two steps back.
He swallowed his saliva, walked around the manganese pig, and started digging for wild ginseng without stopping.
Now chant the incantation and tighten the net, and the manganese pig will be unable to move.
This time, Zhu Man didn't let the wild ginseng escape. He tied the roots of the wild ginseng tightly with a red rope and returned to Jin Dynasty.
"Thank you, Fairy, for protecting me from picking wild ginseng and saving my mother's life. Your great kindness will be unforgettable by Zhu Man!"
With that said, he bowed to Jin Chao.
Jin Zhao picked his ears and said, "It's almost time to hear cocoon. Don't keep saying it."
"This is the deal you made with me using bird eggs. Call it barter. You don't owe me anything."
Jin Zhao yawned and asked lazily, "Where do you live?"
Zhu Man mentioned a place, and in the next moment, his feet left the ground and he was in the sky.
He held onto the edge of the spirit boat with one hand and held the wild ginseng in the other hand. He did not dare to open his eyes. When he finally got used to the flying speed of the spirit boat, he had already arrived at the door of his house.
There was a slight cough inside, and then a weak female voice came out, "Xiaoman, are you back?"
Zhu Man responded hurriedly, "Auntie, it's me who's back! I'll make some medicine for you!"
Today I took a look at Zhu Man's home. It is a house made of earth and stone. It is not spacious, but fortunately it is complete with bedrooms, stoves, and pig pens.
There were wooden branches piled up and down on the ground. Before they had time to clean them up, people had nowhere to go. Zhu Man scratched his head and looked embarrassed, "It made the fairy laugh."
Jin Chao shook his head and said nothing.
When she traveled around the world, there were no houses like this to live in.
Zhu Man bent down to gather the branches and said, "I just want to take a look. You don't need to worry about me. Go and boil the medicine for your mother first."
The kitchen house was in full view, with nothing but a few broken jars, and the rice vats were gradually reaching the bottom.
"Why don't you pick up some Huanling bird eggs and use them as food?"
Zhu Man rinsed the jar and said, "The fairy doesn't know something. The eggs of the Huanling bird are the eggs of monsters. We ordinary people can't digest them after eating them, and they will easily get sick. It's not worthwhile to ask a doctor."
As he spoke, the fire he had just started also ignited. The flames shot out half a foot high, and then shrank down to normal height in an instant.
Zhu Man cleaned the earthen pot and put it on the table for later use. The table suddenly tilted. It turned out that one of the corner of the table had a tile underneath it sliding out.
Jin Zhao bent down to pick up the tiles and wanted to return the tiles to Zhu Man to use on the table. Inadvertently, his fingertips rubbed something rough.
"What's this?"
Inside the tile, a corner of sandpaper was faintly exposed.
Zhu Man picked up a stone at his feet to put on the table. Hearing Jin Chao's words, he raised his head and said, "These are broken tiles I picked up on the mountain."
He thought that such a glamorous monk today had never seen earthly clay, so he explained seriously.
Jin Zhao held up the broken tiles and said, "I'm talking about the things inside the tiles."
There seems to be writing on it.
Zhu Man asked in surprise, "Is there something inside? I don't know."
He walked over and looked at the corner of sandpaper exposed in the tiles. After identifying it with difficulty for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't recognize the words on it. If the fairy doesn't dislike it, just take it away. You cultivators will always see it." If you are more knowledgeable, you might be able to understand what is written on it.”
Jin Zhao thought about it, took out the last few copper coins he had earned in this world, and put them next to the stove.
Seeing that Zhu Man was too busy to touch the ground, she did not disturb him, turned around and left the low kitchen house, and drove the spirit boat back to Mingxin Sect.
After returning to the mountain gate today, go straight to the mission hall.
It was deserted and deserted. There was only one deacon disciple, Zheng Mo, who was dozing off in front of the case.
"Brother Deacon, I'm here to hand over the task."
Zheng Mo yawned sleepily, "Junior sister today, you are back."
"Well, I was delayed because of something on the way. Brother, please wait for me here."
"It's okay, just come back."
If he can't wait until Junior Sister Jinchao comes back to hand over the task, he will go to Ling Feng to report to Qinghe Lady.
Zheng Mo counted the eggs of the Huanling bird, with a slight surprise in his eyes, "Junior sister actually picked up so many?"
There is currently no explanation of where the bird eggs came from.
Zheng Mo lowered his head and said, "There are a total of 2,107 bird eggs. Because those seven are less than fifty, not counting the contribution points, that is 42 contribution points. Now, junior sister, I will check if I have made a mistake in my calculation."
Jin Zhao obediently handed over the identity tag, Zheng Mo took the jade tag and pasted it on the shadow stone, handed it back to her, and handed her a round jade buckle.
"In the future, after junior sister redeems her contribution points, they will all be in this round buckle. Remember to keep it carefully and don't lose it."
Jin Zhao smiled and said "Okay", but he had no intention of leaving.
Zheng Mo was sorting the eggs, looked back and saw that she was still there, and asked, "Do you have anything else to do today, junior sister?"
"That's right, those seven zeroed eggs are not counted as contribution points. I want to take them away, okay?"
Jin Zhao asked politely.
