Chapter 163: The beginning of the story is mostly the beginning of a plan
As the name suggests, Guijiangshan stands beside Guijiang River. The river is surrounded by water at the foot of the mountain and the trees are towering. If you want to enter the mountain, you must wade through the forest. The roads in the mountains are rugged, difficult to walk, and countless dangers are difficult to explore.
No one has ever known what is in the clouds and mist in the mountains, and even the villagers living nearby are not very clear about it.
There are only occasional rumors that there is a mountain gate there, and there is a dusty past in the mountain gate.
The villagers don’t care about the past of the world. They just live by the mountains and rivers and have been very peaceful for a long time.
However, during this period, strange things always happened to the residents near Guijiangshan.
For example, some people say that when they entered the mountain, they saw someone flashing through the forest. The old man in the village said that it was a mountain ghost, so don’t mess with him casually.
For example, during this period, strangers would come in and out of the village from time to time. A few days ago, there were a group of people in the martial arts world with swords and swords. Now it was a woman in red.
For example, a new resident recently moved in the village. I heard that the businessmen in the city came here to escape debts. When they settled down, they invited everyone to have a meal. They were good-looking, so the villagers gradually accepted them.
On this day, the old man who was ferrying by the Guijiang River was as always ready to tie the boat to the shore. But before he could tie it up, a figure came from a distance.
The old man looked up and saw the person coming clearly. He browned and leaned over and untied the rope tied to the boat.
When the person approached, the old man straightened up and threw the rope in his hand into the boat and said.
"Miss, are you going into the mountain again today?"
"Well, please trouble the boatman." The visitor responded and walked to the side of the boat.
This is a woman, wearing a red dress and holding a long sword in her hand. She is a stranger who always goes in and out of the village these days.
"Oh, no trouble, old man, I just made a living by rocking the boat. It's a good thing for someone to take the boat." The old man waved his hand, walked into the boat, picked up a long pole beside the boat, and smiled at the woman.
Although the sword in the other party's hand really scared him at the beginning, he got used to it after a long time.
Almost every day, the woman would take a boat into the mountain and then return by boat at dusk.
She seemed to be looking for something, and the old boatman asked about it once.
The woman's answer was that she was looking for a herb, which looked like hair and beard, but its rhizomes were as thick as a tree root.
She asked the boatman if he had seen it. The old boatman thought about it at that time and felt that he had never seen such a strange herb, so he shook his head and replied that there was no.
The woman nodded, looking a little disappointed, so she didn't say anything more.
At that time, the boatman thought that when she found her for a while, she would have left without any result. Unexpectedly, the woman searched for more than a month, and went out in the mountains and forests every day, as if she was sure that the herb was in this Guijiang Mountain.
Sometimes the boatman also wanted to persuade the woman to go back early and live some serious life. She was so old and so handsome, so doing nothing is better than doing such a confused thing.
But seeing the woman's appearance of being unavailable day after day, the boatman did not speak, so he had to send her into the mountains in the morning and take her back in the evening.
Because she is a regular customer, she only charges her money once every time.
As for Bai Yaoer, she could actually use light skills to cross the water and into the mountains. But because she took the boat for the first time, she got used to it later. In addition, the boat family was also good, so she thought it was all about taking care of the business.
Above the clear water and among the distant mountains on both sides, the boats are getting farther and farther away.
In the village at the foot of Guijiang Mountain, an old man in gray came in at the entrance of the village. He had a kind smile on his face and a silver brocade box in his hand.
He came alone today because in his opinion, it was enough for him to come alone for this matter.
After a period of investigation, Jiang Shengming already knew the purpose of the woman coming to Guijiangshan.
She came to find a herb, and he happened to know where this herb was.
In other words, this herb is in his hands at this time.
What He Lang ate was not the only plant of tung bearded grass at that time. In fact, he left one of them in the gate of the Baku Sect, which was the gate of Guijiangshan.
Over the years, the herb has been stored in a place where all the feng shui and qi are intersecting. It can be said that without Jiang Shengming's help, no one could have found it.
As for why Jiang Shengming has never taken it by himself, the reason is that Jiang Shengming is over the age to take it. Now his meridians are aging. Forcibly taking this herb will only damage the meridians, which is useless and even harm yourself.
So Jiang Shengming didn't mind handing over this herb that was useless to him. Now, for him, the most important thing is to first win over the woman into the Eight Tribulation Sects, and then make long-term plans to seek He Lang's martial arts secrets.
"Hu." Jiang Shengming narrowed his eyes after a long breath of turbid air in his chest.
It was very close, and he could feel that he fulfilled the day he wanted.
On the Guijiang River, the boatman who had just sent Bai Yao'er away supported the boat and slowly landed on the dock. Then, he saw an old man flying over the river and startled a bird to fly far away.
······
In the forest, Bai Yaoer was half squatting on a huge rock, holding the gossip plate in his hand, frowned and looked around.
She was already very close, she could feel it, but she just couldn't determine the specific location of the herb. Whenever she had to figure out something, there was a mixture in front of her, and there was no detail to be found.
Why exactly?
Bai Yao'er looked at the clouds and mist under the cliff and wondered if she should prepare to go down and check it out.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a movement from behind her, her eyes tightened, she picked up a stone on the ground and turned around and threw it over.
A phantom passed through the sky, sank into the plants and trees in the forest, making a muffled sound.
Then, a figure walked out from behind a tree there.
He held the stone that Bai Yaoer had just thrown out in his hand, and looked at Bai Yaoer and said with a chuckling.
"The girl is young and angry."
If just such a stone hits an ordinary gangster, at least it will have to be broken.
"Who are you?" Bai Yao'er stood up, put the gossip plate into her arms, and at the same time held the sword in her hand tightly.
Under the shadow of the forest, the figure walked slowly outside, and the sunlight gradually illuminated his appearance.
He had gray hair, a gray dress, and a silver brocade box in his hand.
"My name is Jiang Shengming." The visitor said.
"You can also call me Uncle Jiang. I have been looking for you for a long time, the sect leader."
