Taoist chanting

Chapter 316 There are wolves in the back, and a city in front

Pulling it with a sword from under the tree on the hillside, I carefully dug out a lavender ginseng.

The roots are complete, about two feet long, and you can feel the abundant aura contained in ginseng when you hold it in your hand. If you weigh it, it is estimated that this purple ginseng weighs one catty, three or four taels.

"Seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures."

By identifying the reed bowl, reed head, skin color, and texture, Zhang Wenfeng was able to estimate that this ginseng is about 200 years old.

The access will not be too large, and it is a rare and good thing to take to the outside world.

The donkey babbled on the side, saying that the elixir here does not show aura, but it can still smell the difference when it is close.

It also wants to find a few more spirit grasses to bring back for planting. Slowly, the large area of ​​Lingcao Ridge will be planted with all kinds of spirit grasses. I will never forget the treasure hunting experience in the Qianluo Mountains in September last year, and I will wait for this trip to go back. , it will go to look for it for a few more days, the Lord has no time for it to go with the second senior brother.

Xinyue by the stream also finished her work, and cleaned up the bloody hare by the way.

The scraped and washed spider carapace is about the size of a basin, stacked to hold a pile of spoils such as poison sacs, cocoons, claws and so on.

Xinyue has seen a lot of spiritual medicinal materials, and there are not many others in the Broken Moon Demon Forest. Wild medicinal materials can often be found in the forest. Occasionally, human monks will go to the tribe to buy them. She looked at it with admiration.

I admire the donkey's good luck even more.

She passed under the tree just now, but she didn't find the leaves of ginseng in the sparse grass.

Returning to the hillside highland, blowing on the unextinguished charcoal fire again, setting up dead wood, chopping firewood, cooking water, grilling meat, pinching off a section of ginseng root, and feeding Xinyue to nourish Qi and blood.

Busy to the south of the sun, the two of them tied up their donkeys, got wet and buried the campfire, and then set off on the road again.

"From here, walk along the valley to the north, and go straight north. Guiwei Valley is ninety miles away. There is a mountain range that is hundreds of miles long from east to west and about a thousand feet high. From a long distance, you can see two Guidan Valley is in the middle of the snow-white waterfall pouring down."

Xinyue regained most of her strength, and with great interest, she told Guanzhu Zhang what she knew about the secrets of the forbidden area.

In fact, she didn't know much, she just had a topic to talk about.

She is very fortunate to have found a companion like Guanzhu Zhang, who can go out to hunt for treasure together.

The stubbornness of a gentleman made her very annoyed from last May to the end of the year. If she didn't get in, she wouldn't be moved by any promises, but once she swore to the covenant, no matter how dangerous it was, she didn't have to worry about it.

Otherwise, with a different person as a companion, she would be in fatal danger twice, not to mention reaching out to save her, standing by and watching, or even being thrown into trouble. Whether she is alive or not is another matter.

Her monster body is a great temptation and harvest for human monks.

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the crisis knows the heart.

Zhang Wenfeng raised his perception and paid attention to the movements in the forests in the valleys on both sides. He felt that it was inconvenient not to release his spiritual consciousness, and said, "With our footsteps, we can rest on the road for one night, and we can reach Guidan Valley tomorrow afternoon."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and one must always be on guard against the attacks of monsters that do not show their demonic aura, such as the huge colorful spider he killed. This place is full of aura, but it is only a forbidden method. The wild animals that live in it will slowly accumulate and transform into monsters.

"On the way back, can we spend an extra three or two days looking for it along the way. It's rare to come in, maybe we can find other good things?"

Zhang Wenfeng suggested.

He is not a greedy person, but no one comes here. The conditions for the growth of natural resources and treasures are unique. Roll up your sleeves and do your part.

"As long as we go to Guiwei Valley to get the treasure first, it doesn't matter if we spend another ten and a half months on our return journey."

Xinyue smiled and said that her ancestors spent great efforts to open up this forbidden area, but this time without the help of Guanzhu Zhang, she couldn't get in no matter what, so she should repay Guanzhu Zhang's favor.

She has already seen that as long as she can advance to the third level, she would rather pay more.

After her third rank, wouldn't it be easy to come in alone?

The donkey, which was more than ten feet behind, used its nose to quickly sniff the grassy stream that passed by. It didn't bother it at all. The feeling of finding the treasure made it excited and excited, and the demon power in its body was surging.

This did not find another dark yellow spar with no aura.

The donkey glanced at the fox girl walking ahead, rolled his tongue and bit the spar into his mouth, and hid it in his stomach with a "gudong".

It is not as generous as the temple master, the treasures it finds are all its own, so it does not share them equally with the fox girl.

Although the stomach is a little full, but thinking of returning tomorrow, it is full of energy.

At night, it spits out crystals and treasures, and hides them in a certain bamboo tube on the back of the temple, and then fills them with some soil to cover them up, without anyone noticing. , it takes a lot of effort.

Thinking of the joy, it suddenly hissed "ahhhhhhhhh".

Zhang Wenfeng looked back and saw a gray-brown giant wolf in the distance was frightened and retreated into the woods.

"Lu Zijin, there are demon wolves following behind, don't fall too far." Then he praised: "Lu Zijin, you are very vigilant, so you can spot the demon wolf following behind."

The donkey turned its head and stared fiercely at the spoiled gadgets in the forest, which prevented it from hunting for treasures, and quickly followed the pace of the temple master in front of it.

The two of them crossed the mountains and ridges with a donkey, and walked northward, and their footsteps were significantly faster.

The gray-brown giant wolf in the distance fell unhurriedly, but did not come close.

The sun was sinking to the west, and white mist rose from some mountains, and the tired birds began to chirp and fly to their nests.

Standing on the top of a low mountain, Xinyue pointed to the faintly undulating Daiqing mountain in the sky, and said: "It is estimated that there are still more than forty miles to go. Let's find a safe place to rest tonight, followed by the demon wolf all the way." , is a spy, followed by a pack of wolves."

"It will be dark for half an hour, let's go further, it is best to find the cliff cave."

Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the donkey carrying bamboo tubes, spider shells and other items, and added: "It can't be too high, or I won't be able to get in. Let's go, hurry up."

Running down the hill, the group turned around the peak in front of them, and suddenly found that there was a simple dirt road ahead.

About two feet wide, it bends to the northwest, and there are sparse grass on the dirt road.

The two looked at each other, and there were people wherever there was a road. How could there be human beings living in this forbidden area?

"Go, take a look!"

In fact, Xinyue didn't feel any excitement about seeing humans.

She was full of suspicion, how could there be people in this place?If it was a monster, there would be no need to use tools to build such a smooth dirt road, and in the forbidden area, monsters could not transform into forms. It would be impossible for her current body to transform back into a fox monster.

The two walked forward along the dirt road with caution.

The setting sun was like blood, and the clouds reflected from the sky on the earthy yellow ground, dyed a bit bloody and desolate.

Follow the dirt road around the hill ahead, and three miles away from the end of the road is a city with stone walls built on a low hill.

There were figures walking on the city wall, and when they saw them, they blew a shrill horn.

The gray-brown giant wolf that followed them all the way, heard the horn sound, ran back to the mountain with its tail between its legs and disappeared.

Zhang Wenfeng has good eyesight, so he recognized three ancient seal characters written on the plaque at the gate of the city: Fushan Town.

It is obviously a rather small city, but it has the name of "town" written on it.

"Let's not go into the city, let's go back."

The two spoke at the same time, speaking in general terms, and then laughed at the same time after speaking.

It's not that they are timid, but that they don't have such a strong curiosity to find out about such an inexplicable forbidden city. They just want to get their own treasures for the purpose of going to Guidangu Valley without making any further complications.

Judging by the heavily guarded appearance of the city, this place must be unsafe.

The two turned around and walked back, speeding up their pace to the high mountains to the east.

The donkey fell behind and was relieved to see that the opened city gate was slowly closing again without a large group of people chasing it out, and hurriedly followed the temple master's footsteps.

It was dark when it said it was dark, and I hadn't found a safe resting place yet.

……

(I forgot to mention it, I would like to add one more sentence. I wish everyone a happy Children's Day! Childlike innocence stays forever!)
