The origin of doom

Chapter 29 Rumors of Polygonum multiflorum

It did appear!
I turned around suddenly, and saw a boy around my age floating behind, wearing a school uniform, with a pale complexion and a bloody neck!But I'm used to seeing all kinds of monsters, so I'm not very nervous, and this guy looks like a newcomer, so I shouted: "Bold monster! Why are you pestering auntie?!"

Na Gui's originally sluggish eyes instantly recovered, and she asked in surprise, "Can you see me?"

"of course."

When my aunt saw me suddenly turn around and talk to myself, she also stopped and asked, "Son, what happened?"

"I see that rose,"

Hearing this, the aunt looked a little nervous: "What kind of rose?"

"Don't worry, let me ask." After finishing speaking, I looked at the young man Gui: "Why are you pestering Auntie? What kind of enmity is there?"

"No hatred, she... she is my mother."

What?My complexion changed!My aunt said yesterday that she also has a son who is in high school, and his academic performance is very good.But how did he die?Could it be that my aunt hasn't heard the news of his death yet?So I asked cryptically, "When were you killed?"

Nagui's eyes were dim, and she replied in a low and gloomy voice: "A week ago. My mother worked hard to earn money to support my education, but I...are you a Taoist priest?"

"Yes."

"Can you do me a favor and let me meet my mother."

I showed a look of embarrassment: "I can, but it's just..."

I mean, there is only a little Niu Tear left, and I don't want to use it casually, but it's okay to help him spread the word.But he seemed to have misunderstood it, thinking that I was taking advantage of the opportunity, so he said: "As long as you do this favor, I will give you a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum!"

I obviously don’t believe this. Although I don’t know the value of Polygonum multiflorum, but the 1000-year-old must be very valuable. If he really had it, would he still live in such a miserable life?But I didn't refuse, but asked, "Can you tell me how you died?"

Na Gui nodded: "My name is Xue Yuanliang. Because my household registration is not here, I can only go back to the countryside to study in high school. My mother sets up a street stall here to make money for my education. I know she is very hard, so I go out to distribute leaflets during the holidays." To make money, until a few days ago, under the introduction of others, I found a job with a high salary."

When I heard this, I knew that this work must have killed him, so I didn't interrupt and waited for his next words.

Xue Yuanliang continued: "The employer is a university professor with a male student. They are engaged in botany. They want to go into the mountains to find out if there are any precious plants. And my hometown is in a mountain village in the mountains. So I am very familiar with the environment. The lecturer hired me, saying that he would go to the mountain to explore for about a week, and he would pay 200 yuan per day. After I asked the school for leave, I took them into the mountain, and that day was last Monday.”

I asked, "Then what happened?"

"It was calm at first, and the lecturer was nice. He asked me how my academic performance was, and I answered the top ten in the school. The lecturer said that if I am interested in botany, I can apply to Capital University in the future. He is a professor there. If you study hard with him, you will not worry about your future. I was very excited when I was invited by the professor of Capital University, and I agreed to it at that time, and I respected him even more along the way."

"Is he a bad guy?"

Xue Yuanliang said sadly: "No, he is not a bad person. We searched in the mountains for five days and found many precious plants. Just when we were about to leave, we suddenly found a plant on the cliff. The speaker said it seemed to be Polygonum multiflorum vine leaves, and it seems that the age is not young, he insisted on going down to have a look, so he hung the climbing rope he carried with him on the tree, and climbed down by himself. Soon, the speaker said excitedly below, this It turned out to be a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum! It is a rare treasure!"

Speaking of this, Xue Yuanliang suddenly showed a look of horror on his face: "The Millennium Polygonum multiflorum, you know its preciousness as soon as you hear its name. Just when we were happy, we suddenly heard a roar from behind! Looking back, there was a black and white bird." The tiger with the pattern was standing there! And it was an adult tiger, huge in size! It threw the professor’s student to the ground and bit off his neck! I turned around and ran, not daring to stay! But the tiger chased me, The speed was extremely fast! I only felt a white shadow flash before my eyes... Then the tiger went to the climbing rope and bit the rope, and the professor fell directly from the cliff..."

I frowned: "The beast has such high intelligence? Will it bite the climbing rope?"

"I also know it's unbelievable, but that's the truth. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will tell you the location of Polygonum multiflorum. As for how to deal with that white tiger, it is not my problem." Xue Yuanliang said: "Because my mother has a bad heart. Alright, so my aunt didn't dare to tell her the news of my death, but after all papers can't last forever, if that's the case, why don't I tell her myself."

I'm not interested in the Polygonum multiflorum, just to help others, I nodded and said: "Yes, but the time is only one hour."

"No, at least three days and three nights!"

"You lion opened your mouth. I don't have so many props at all. If you have to go for three days and three nights, you can only extinguish the fire on her shoulders, which will cause harm to her body."

"Then, three hours is all right?"

"No, at most two hours, no more."

Xue Yuanliang thought for a while, and agreed: "Okay, when can I let her see me?"

"Tomorrow, I didn't bring props today."

"Okay, then at this time tomorrow, I'll wait for you here."

At this time, the aunt asked next to him, "Son, who are you talking to?"

I took a deep breath, looked at her with some pity, and said, "It's nothing, Auntie, you can go back first, this Rose doesn't want to harm you, and you also know each other, I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow night."

"Meet Rose?"

"Yes, anyway, I'll look for you at the night market tomorrow night." After I finished speaking, I turned and left. . .

……

The next day, early morning.

Ugly Rose asked me how I was doing last night.I told the story about Xue Yuanliang, and Chougui's face changed slightly after hearing it: "Is it really the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum?"

"I felt like he was making up a story, just wanted me to help, and said there was a very smart tiger. I didn't believe it at all."

Ugly Rose shook his head: "No, he shouldn't have lied. The so-called life is a lifetime of grass and trees. Polygonum multiflorum is a herbaceous plant, and most herbal plants can only live for one year. Polygonum multiflorum is a little longer, but it is only ten years. Coupled with natural disasters and wild beasts, wild Polygonum multiflorum may not even be able to live for more than ten years. Unless it grows in a place where "energy is concentrated", Polygonum multiflorum absorbs the essence of vitality and it is not impossible to live for thousands of years, but that thing only It exists in the legend, and I have never seen it before."

"What about the tiger?"

"It should be a demon. It is protecting Polygonum multiflorum, and it will eat Polygonum multiflorum when it has exhausted the 'life' there."

After hearing Chougui's explanation, I was shocked: "So, the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum is really a treasure? Can it become a fairy after eating it like in the movie?"

"No. But the thousand-year-old fleece-flower root that has absorbed vitality can nourish blood, strengthen muscles and bones, activate collaterals and detoxify, and prolong life. To put it simply, after eating, it can make blood more pure and full of yang, and it can also strengthen muscles and bones. Shouyuan can even detox some poisons."

"so smart?"

Ugly Rose only has half of its head: "Of course, Polygonum multiflorum has absorbed the vitality of thousands of years, so it is not surprising that it has this effect."

Now I want to quickly improve my strength, so I said with some longing: "Why don't we go find the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum."

"Do you want to die under the claws of that monster?"

It's also true, although things are good, you have to live to get them. If you lose your life there, it's better not to go.So I stopped thinking about Polygonum multiflorum, and said: "That's right, it's more reliable to practice down-to-earth. Okay, I'm going to run."

"Actually, if you want to get Polygonum multiflorum, it's not impossible. I'll come to you tonight, and after Nagui fulfills his wish, I'll bring him back and ask about the situation of the tiger demon carefully. If the morality is not high, we still have a chance."

I came downstairs, jogging, and said: "What chance is there? Even if what Xue Yuanliang said is true, I can't go. Firstly, asking for leave is a problem, and secondly, travel expenses are also a problem. Finally, if I disappear suddenly, the deputy The CEO may target my parents."

Ugly Rose floated beside him and said, "As for the deputy chief executive, you can ask Master Jiang to find a reason to delay. Your identity will be exposed sooner or later, and the King of Rose will also attack you. It's time to increase your strength..."

……

After eating at noon, I took the bus to Master Jiang's hardware store.

As soon as I entered the room, I found him sitting in front of the computer and browsing something. I said hello, "Master, what are you up to?"

"Oh, I look at GDP."

I took a closer look, and this guy was searching for fruit tan.

Fruit skin is GDP?You tm think I'm a badass?But I came here today to discuss something important, so I didn't bury him, but said: "Master, I want to go abroad recently, and the deputy CEO, please help me delay it."

Hearing this, Master Jiang almost didn't jump up: "You kid, don't you want to run away? No, I have to pack my things quickly!"

Looking at his busy figure, I said: "Master, please take a break. I won't run away. After all, my parents are still here. I just went to other places to buy Niu Lei. I will definitely be back within two weeks, but I'm worried The CEO is in a hurry, so you just have to find an excuse to prevaricate."

Master Jiang reluctantly said: "That's it, then okay, I will help you for free."

"Master, this time it's not just free, you have to pay me some money. You know, I bought Niu Tear simply because I helped the deputy CEO. In fact, you don't have to pay any money. When the time comes, I will help you. Don’t be the deputy chief executive, don’t blame me if you go to jail.”

"You are taking advantage of the fire!" The master gritted his teeth angrily: "Tell me! How much do you want!"
