Chapter 316 There are wolves in the back, and a city in front
He pulled it with a sword and carefully dug out a pale purple ginseng from under the tree on the hillside.
The roots are complete and about two feet long. When you hold it in your hand, you can feel the abundant spiritual energy contained in the ginseng. After weighing it, it is estimated that this purple ginseng weighs one pound, three or four taels.
"Seven taels is a ginseng, eight taels is a treasure."
By identifying the reed bowl, reed head, skin color, and texture, Zhang Wenfeng was able to estimate that the ginseng was about two hundred years old.
The difference will not be too big, and it is a rare and good thing to take with you to the outside world.
The donkey was chattering beside him, saying that the spiritual energy of the medicinal herbs here was not obvious, but he could still smell the difference even if he was close.
It also wants to find a few more spiritual grasses to bring back for planting. Slowly, it will plant all kinds of spiritual grasses in the large area of Lingcao Ridge. It will never forget the experience of treasure hunting in Qianluo Mountains in September last year. It will wait for this trip back.
, it will go searching for a few more days, and the temple owner does not have time for it to go with its second senior brother.
Xin Yue, who was by the stream, had also finished her work, and took the opportunity to clean up the hare that had been trampled into a dirty lake of blood.
The spider carapace, which has been scraped off and washed clean, is about the size of a basin, and is stacked to hold a bunch of trophies such as poison sacs, cocoons, and claws.
Xin Yue has seen a lot of spiritual medicinal materials. There are not many others in the Broken Moon Demon Forest. Wild medicinal materials can often be found in the forest. Occasionally, human monks go to the tribe to buy them. But when Guanzhu Zhang dug out such a large spiritual ginseng, he still let it go.
She was impressed.
I admire that donkey's good luck even more.
She passed under the tree just now, but she didn't find any ginseng leaves among the sparse grass.
Returning to the high ground on the hillside, he rekindled the charcoal fire that had not been extinguished, set up dead wood and cracked firewood to boil water, grilled meat, pinched a section of ginseng root, and gave it to Xinyue to replenish qi and blood.
When the sun turned south, the two of them tied up their donkeys, got wet, buried the bonfire, and set out again on the road.
"From here, walk along the valley to the north. Go all the way north. Guiwei Valley is ninety miles away. There is a mountain range that stretches hundreds of miles from east to west and is about a thousand feet high. From a distance, you can see two horses rising from the clouds on the mountain peaks.
The snow-white waterfall pours down, and Guiwei Valley is right in the middle."
Xin Yue regained most of her strength and became very interested. She told Zhang Guanzhu the secrets of the forbidden area that she knew.
In fact, she didn't know much, she just had a topic to talk about.
She was very lucky to have found a companion like Guanzhu Zhang and could go out treasure hunting together.
The stubbornness of a gentleman made her very angry from May last year to the end of the year. She was unmoved by no matter how much she promised, but once she made a promise, she had no worries no matter how dangerous it was.
Otherwise, if someone were to be her companion, she would have been in mortal danger twice. She would not have reached out to rescue her, but she would have stood idly by, or even added insult to injury. It is still unclear whether she is alive now.
Her monster body is a great temptation and gain for human monks.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the danger knows the human heart.
Zhang Wenfeng increased his perception and paid attention to the movements in the woods in the valleys on both sides. He couldn't let his consciousness go out and felt very inconvenient. He said: "With our pace, we can rest for one night on the way and we can reach Guiwei Valley tomorrow afternoon."
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and one must always be on guard against attacks by monsters whose aura is not exposed, such as the giant colorful spider he killed. This place is full of aura, but it is just a forbidden method. The wild animals living in it will slowly accumulate and turn into monsters.
"When we return, can we spend an extra three or two days searching for things along the way? If we come in once in a while, we might be able to find other good things?"
Zhang Wenfeng suggested.
He is not a greedy person, but no one comes here. The conditions for the growth of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are unique. It would be a pity not to look for them. People who practice Taoism pay attention to purity of mind and few desires, but when it comes to the accumulation of spiritual resources, he will
Tie up your sleeves and do your part.
"As long as we go to Gui Danger Valley to get the treasure first, it doesn't matter if we spend ten more days and a half on our return trip."
Xin Yue smiled and said that her ancestors spent great efforts to open up this forbidden area, but this time without Guanzhu Zhang's help, she couldn't get in, so she thought it was to repay Guanzhu Zhang's favor.
She has looked away, as long as she can advance to the third level, she would rather spend more money.
After she reaches the third level, won't it be easy to come in alone?
The donkey, which was more than ten feet behind, quickly sniffed the grass and stream passing by with its nose. It didn't bother it at all. The feeling of finding a treasure made it excited and excited, and its body was full of demonic power.
Now I found another dark yellow spar with no aura.
The donkey glanced at the fox girl walking in front, rolled his tongue and bit the crystal into his mouth, hiding the "Gudong" in his stomach.
It is not as generous as the owner of the temple. The treasures it finds belong to it, so it does not share them equally with the fox girl.
Although the stomach chamber is a little full, it is full of energy thinking about being able to return tomorrow.
At night, it vomits out crystals and treasures and hides them in a bamboo tube placed on its back by the viewer, and then fills them with some soil to cover them up, without anyone noticing. For the time being, it even hides them from the viewer. The viewer is so lavish that he doesn't know what he is hiding.
, it requires more effort.
Thinking of the joy, it suddenly screamed "Ah uh... ah uh".
Zhang Wenfeng looked back and saw a gray-brown giant wolf in the distance that was frightened and retreated into the forest.
"Lu Zijin, there is a demon wolf following you, don't fall too far behind." Then he praised again: "Lu Zijin, you are very alert, so you can spot the demon wolf following you."
The donkey turned back and glared hard at the frustrated creature that was poking its head in the forest, which made it unable to hunt for treasure and had to quickly keep up with the visitor in front of it.
The two of them and one donkey climbed over the mountains and ridges, heading north. The pace was obviously much faster.
The giant gray-brown wolf fell slowly in the distance, but did not come closer.
As the sun sets in the west, white mist rises from some mountains, and tired birds begin to chirp and fly to their nests.
Standing on the top of a short mountain ridge, Xinyue pointed to the undulating green mountains that were vaguely visible on the horizon, and said: "It is estimated that there is still more than forty miles to go. Let's find a safe place to rest tonight. The demon wolf is following us all the way.
, he is a spy, and there are wolves following him."
"It will get dark in half an hour. If we go further, it is best to find a 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 else Lu Zi won't be able to get in. Let's go, hurry up."
After running down the hillside, the group turned around the mountain peak in front and suddenly found a simple dirt road ahead.
About two feet wide, it curves to the northwest, with sparse grass on the dirt road.
The two of them looked at each other. Wherever there is a road, there is a home. Is it rare that there are still humans living in this forbidden land?
"Let's go and have a look!"
In fact, Xin Yue didn't feel half excited about seeing human beings.
She was full of doubts, how could there be anyone in this place? If it were a monster, there would be no need to bother using tools to build such a smooth dirt road, and monsters could not transform in the forbidden area. If she wanted to transform her current body back into a fox demon body, try
It's impossible to pass.
The two of them walked forward along the dirt road with caution in hand.
The setting sun is like blood, and the clouds in the sky reflect on the khaki ground, dyeing it a bit of blood and desolation.
Follow the dirt road around the hills ahead. Three miles away from the end of the road is a city with stone walls built on a low mountain.
There were figures walking around on the city wall, and when they saw them appearing, they blew a shrill trumpet sound.
The giant gray-brown wolf that followed them heard the sound of the horn, turned its tail between its legs, ran back to the mountain and disappeared.
Zhang Wenfeng had good eyesight, and he recognized three ancient seal characters written on the plaque at the city gate: Fushan Town.
It is obviously a rather small city, but it has the name "town" written on it.
"We are not going into the city, we are going back."
They both spoke at the same time, talking in general terms, and then laughed at the same time.
It's not that they are timid and fearful, but that they don't have such a strong curiosity to find out what's going on in such an inexplicable forbidden city. They just want to go to Ghostly Valley and get their own treasure without creating any new complications.
Judging from the heavily guarded appearance of the city, this place must be unsafe.
The two of them turned around and walked back, speeding up their pace toward the mountains to the east.
The donkey fell behind. When he saw the opened city gate closing slowly and no large group of people chasing him out, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the master.
It's getting dark as soon as it's dark, and we haven't found a safe place to rest yet.
…
(I forgot to say it, so I’ll add it. I wish you all a happy Children’s Day! Childlike innocence will always remain!)
