Chapter 636: Exploring the Black Tiger Cave (1 more)
Shenlong Mountain.
Tang Xiaobao finally had a chance to come here and take a look.
The main reason why he wanted to visit Shenlong Mountain was because he got a thousand-year-old ginseng from the Cao family last time and accidentally saw the extraordinary shape of the mountain, so he became interested.
There is another reason.
Tang Xiaobao founded Shenlong Pharmaceutical. He felt that the word "Shenlong" was very close to him, so he came to take a look around.
It would be a good result if we could find some rare medicinal materials.
Shenlong Mountain is a barren mountain. Except for a few households of medicinal farmers living at the foot of the mountain, this mountain is almost inaccessible. It is a famous virgin forest reserve in Jiangnan City.
Towering ancient trees, rattans as thick as arms, many unknown vegetation...
I don’t know why, but the city government has never included this place in the planning scope.
There is only one way into the mountain, and you must pass a small wooden house.
In front of the cabin, a medicinal farmer was sorting out the morning's harvest. A lot of medicinal materials were dried in the courtyard.
The drug farmer was probably in his fifties, and he still had some scars on his face. Those scars seemed to have been left many years ago, and they looked a bit scary.
"Hello, old man."
Tang Xiaobao stepped forward to say hello.
The drug farmer raised his head, glanced at Tang Xiaobao, and was a little surprised, and asked: "Young man, are you here for tourism?"
"Yes, I want to go into the mountains to have a look, so I came to ask you about some conditions in the mountains. I don't know if there are any ferocious beasts or dangers in the mountains." Tang Xiaobao smiled and helped the pharmacist organize the medicinal materials.
The medicine farmer was a little surprised: "You also know about medicinal materials?"
"Yes, my family has been a Chinese medicine practitioner for generations, so I know some medicinal materials." Tang Xiaobao said with a casual smile.
The medicine farmer felt cordial by his companionship, so he advised: "Young man, it seems that you and I are destined, but you'd better not go into the mountains."
"Why?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
The drug farmer said: "There is danger in the mountains."
"Is there a wild beast?"
"That's not true." Yaonong said: "But there are many poisonous insects and snakes... In short, it is very dangerous to enter the mountain if you are not prepared. I have lived here for decades, and there is no one in Shenlong Mountain who is more dangerous than me.
Familiar, in the past few years, at least a dozen curious people have entered the mountain, but none of them came out alive in the end, so I advise you."
“So many people have died, why doesn’t the government care?”
"There's nothing we can do about it, the bodies can't be found." The medicine farmer sighed: "I think most of them fell into the black tiger's hole."
"Black Tiger Cave?" Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
Yaonong said: "There is a cave in this mountain. Our ancestors called it Black Tiger Cave. It is said that there is a demon in this cave, which is very evil. We have been strictly forbidden by our elders to step within one mile of the Black Tiger Cave since we were young. Young man
, go home quickly, this Shenlong Mountain is too dangerous."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said: "I heard someone say that someone here has collected the thousand-year-old ginseng king in the mountains, so I also want to try my luck, so I must enter this mountain."
"Yes, I found the Millennium Ginseng King, but it has been sold." The medicine farmer said, "Are you here for the medicinal materials?"
Tang Xiaobao smiled: "There must be a reason for this."
"I still advise you not to go into the mountains."
"Thank you, old man. I still want to go into the mountains. Don't worry, I will get out in time if there is danger." Tang Xiaobao said seriously.
The drug farmer smiled bitterly and said, "You really want to go?"
"I really want to go."
"You risk your life?"
"Try it and I'll be careful."
"Okay." Yaonong said, "If you really want to go into the mountains, I can't stop you. I have a map here, let me show it to you."
Soon, the medicine farmer took out a simple map from his arms. It was probably handed down from his ancestors. It was actually made of sheepskin. It simply standardized the landforms of Shenlong Mountain. In the center, there was a red map.
A large circle. The medicine farmer pointed to this circle and said: "This is the Black Tiger Cave. Don't go in. It's too dangerous. These places are easy to produce good medicinal materials. Just focus on these places."
"Thank you, old man."
"How about I draw a new map for you?"
"No, goodbye old man."
Watching Tang Xiaobao's figure disappear at the end of the mountain road, the drug farmer shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Young man, I can only help you so much. Whether you can come out alive depends on whether you listen to my advice."
Of course Tang Xiaobao would not listen to the advice of the drug farmer.
He came here mainly to satisfy his curiosity.
He had just learned the art of Feng Shui and he was very excited.
Tang Xiaobao had already figured it out when he looked at the map just now.
In the entire Shenlong Mountain, the location of the Black Tiger Cave is the most peculiar. It is considered the center of the formation, and rare medicinal materials such as Thousand-year-old Ginseng King are most likely to appear there.
As for ghosts and monsters, Tang Xiaobao often sees gods and immortals now, and even subdued a powerful Spirit Emperor, so naturally he won't be afraid.
So what if there is a ghost?
He has magical skills, so he can still escape even if he can't.
The skill of photographic memory is indeed very convenient. This is the first time for Tang Xiaobao to enter Shenlong Mountain, but he is very familiar with the terrain of this mountain.
The mountain road is very narrow and can only barely pass by one person. Moreover, the mountain road almost disappears as we approach the Black Tiger Cave. This shows that most people really will not set foot here.
The towering old trees are densely packed, blocking out the sky and the sun. Although it is only two o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is shining, the mountain seems to be covered with dark clouds and is very dark.
Along the way, Tang Xiaobao had a hard time, but he also gained a lot.
He collected a lot of medicinal materials, and many of them were hard to see in the world but had strange effects.
It was precisely because he wanted to collect some medicinal materials that Tang Xiaobao did not use the teleportation skill. Otherwise, he could have flown forward from the top of the tree.
After about two hours, we only walked about two kilometers.
You can't see the outside world here, the trees block your view.
After picking a few rare medicinal plants again, Tang Xiaobao rested for a few minutes, thinking that if he continued at the current speed, he might not be able to reach the Black Tiger Cave even after dark.
He stood up and began to use teleportation skills.
There was no one here, and he was not afraid of shocking the world. He jumped up and reached a towering ancient tree. After checking the direction, he activated his teleportation skills and quickly ran towards the direction of the Black Tiger Cave.
In just one stick of incense, Tang Xiaobao could already hear the sound of rushing water.
In front, there was a mountain stream with a stream flowing down it. Around the stream, there were several patches of green grass with more than a dozen strange-shaped flowers and plants blooming in them. Tang Xiaobao stared at it and couldn't help but be surprised.
Black golden grass, black dragon flower, green barrier leaves...
They are all precious medicinal materials!
Tang Xiaobao started searching without thinking, and he also dug out a ginseng plant, the size and age of which were even far greater than the one given by Mr. Cao.
With joy in his heart, Tang Xiaobao started working on the grass as if the Japanese had entered the village.
All the medicinal materials had gone into the divine ring, and Tang Xiaobao was satisfied.
After looking around, I realized that this should be where the Black Tiger Cave is.
But where is the Black Tiger Cave? (To be continued)
