The Poison Barrier Forest is well-deserved in its name. Even in the middle of winter, the moisture inside is heavy. Poisonous snakes and insects do not hibernate and crawl everywhere.
It's foggy all year round, so you can't see the road clearly, so you need to light a torch and be careful where you step.
The secret guards protected the three kings of Nan Chu in front and back, and even drove away poisonous snakes and insects when they encountered them. When Zhou Gu followed Su Rong to make medicine, he identified many precious herbs, plus the one handwritten by Su Rong to her. He often took out the ancient prescriptions and memorized them by heart. He even took the time to make an atlas of medicinal materials and study and identify the herbs. Therefore, now that he entered the Barrier Poison Forest, he found that there were several rare and good medicinal materials that were difficult to find in ancient prescriptions. How could he let it go?
He immediately picked and dug, and then all the people, including those in front who opened the way and those behind who fell behind, just focused on watching the road. The rest, including the King of Nanchu, were all assigned jobs by him.
Someone took the samples he collected and helped to collect the medicine, while someone was responsible for looking at the rattan and weaving it into a basket to hold the medicine.
King Nan Chu was old and couldn't stand the constant bending, and his eyes didn't seem to work well in dim light, so he was responsible for holding the basket.
King of Southern Chu: "..."
Does this guy know that he is running for his life now? You won't forget it, right?
Zhang Yun didn't have any objections at all. Ever since he and Zhou Gu entered Nanchu, they were either fighting and killing or running for their lives at the same time, either actively or passively. Anyway, they were injured countless times. What's more, some were injured. He was poisoned twice, but fortunately, the good medicine he carried saved his life and detoxified him. He also found this precious and good medicinal material very useful.
After all, Zhou Gu's medicine was almost used up, and the only two bottles of useless poison-avoiding pills were now almost used up. If they can't use the regeneration medicine, if they are killed again, injured or poisoned again, it will be really frustrating because they have no way to go to a doctor for treatment. Otherwise, as soon as the front foot enters the hospital, the back foot will be blocked.
Therefore, he was quite enthusiastic about picking the precious herbs Zhou Gu mentioned.
Due to the large number of people, not much time was wasted. It was also because no one dared to come in at all in the Poison Barrier Forest. Some doctors who dared to come in were only at the outer boundary and did not dare to go deep. Therefore, it was extremely precious in the market outside. Medicinal materials are everywhere here, but there are not many of them. Especially the deeper you go, the better and more precious herbs grow.
Zhou Gu discovered that this cold and damp barrier forest was really a treasure.
"There are countless precious and good medicinal materials in Gu's warehouse." King Nan Chu said, holding the basket.
If he had known earlier, he would have carried a bag with him on the night he left the palace, and he would not have had to smoke the poison and collect medicines in this poisonous forest.
Although he had poison-avoiding pills and was not afraid of the barrier poison, he was still so uncomfortable from the barrier qi that he could hardly open his eyes.
"Keep those in your palace for Xiao Qi. She will need them sooner or later." Zhou Gu thought, who can't have too many good things? He didn't understand it before, but now he understands it, and he feels that Su Rong is so good to him and is really prepared for a rainy day. Knowing that when he goes out, the most important thing is to have countless good medicines with him, and he also has prescriptions in hand. He understands After identifying medicinal materials and learning how to make medicine, he didn't have to worry about killing himself if he got sick or poisoned, except for the big knife in the hands of the crazy dog of the Nangong family.
Speaking of which, Su Rong is really a treasure.
"Okay!" King Nan Chu reminded him, "The anti-poison pill is only effective for three days, right? You have to grasp the time, don't we? We will all die here by then."
"Oh, no, there are several herbs here that can resist the poison." Zhou Gu assured, patting his chest, "Don't worry, you won't die even if you wait for half a month."
King of Southern Chu: "..."
This is really good news.
He looked at Zhou Gu suspiciously, "Duke Guo Gufu, do you even know how to identify herbal medicines and make medicines?"
"No, Xiao Qi taught me." Zhou Gu Xian said, "When I left the capital from Daliang, she stayed up for two nights behind closed doors and made a lot of life-saving medicine for me. She also taught me how to make medicine, and gave me I have a prescription book. At that time, I didn’t know that he and Ye Guixue had removed the tiger talisman and broke off the engagement. I just felt that she was so good to me. "
King of Southern Chu: "..."
Although he was used to hearing Zhou Gu show off how kind Su Rong was to him, he still felt a little bit sore after hearing these words.
Although Zhou Gu picked herbs to suppress the poison, he still led the group and only stayed in the poison forest for half a day.
Because he clearly knew that the top priority now was to avoid the waves of killers from the Nangong family, but three and a half days was just right. If it was less, it would not be enough for them to meet these people. If it was more, Nangong Zheng would not be able to wait. When they react, they will definitely fight back.
He didn't want the few people around him to face Nangong Zheng.
So, three and a half days later, Zhou Gu led the people out of the Zangdu Forest, each carrying a basket full of herbs. Then half a day later, Zhou Gu led the people into the town and directly rented a farmhouse. He didn't rest in the yard, so he took Zhang Yun with him, and the two of them locked themselves in the house at night and used the medicine stove that the secret guard bought temporarily to make medicine.
Zhang Yun looked at each ancient prescription and marveled, "I never thought that one day, I could be a doctor."
Good medicines that are hard to find on the market, and good medicines that are hard to buy with a lot of money, were brewed by Zhou Gu and the two of them using these improvised medicine stoves.
One night later, the two men had dark circles under their eyes, but their tired faces were full of energy. Each of them had a few bottles of pills in their arms, and quietly continued on their way with the King of Southern Chu and the secret guards.
King Nan Chu looked at the two of them, "Did you tinker with those medicinal materials last night?"
The King of Nanchu was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed after eating last night. When he woke up, he smelled the smell of medicine all over the room.
"Well, I got ten bottles of medicine." Zhou Gu said, "Of those medicinal materials, a quarter has been used."
As expected of having more people and more strength, he collected a lot of medicinal materials. He deliberately collected the most important medicines from the prescriptions, thinking that when he came out, he would give his father-in-law a chance to rest, and then he would seize the opportunity to make medicines.
Sure enough, it was done, so he felt very accomplished.
He said to the King of Nanchu: "Yesterday, both of us were unfamiliar with our techniques and were unskilled, so we made little. Tonight, there is no need to go to the city. We can find a cave, set up a stove, and let a few secret guards help. , don’t be afraid if the noise is louder, you can make all the remaining medicinal materials into pills, so as to prevent these medicinal materials from being stored without specific storage, and they will lose their effectiveness after a long time. "
King Nan Chu nodded, "Not bad."
This is the first time in his life that he has seen people like Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun, not only smart and wise, but also good at making a living on their own. It made him feel that all the tossing and tossing made his body and bones, which used to suffer from back pain for ten days and a half after a minor illness, not only not be wasted, but instead be strengthened.
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
