Hanxiong also said: "Well, some of them can be eaten, and some of them can be used as medicine. They can strengthen the muscles and bones, replenish vitality, and treat injuries caused by strain. You see, this piece of bark of the red brocade tree is taken from the small piece connected to the root.
Tree knots have the most medicinal properties
Pure. And this wild fruit is picked at the most suitable time..." Hanxiong is a disciple of the Changling Sect of the Bus Kingdom, and the leader of the Changling Sect, Mr. Changling, is proficient in refining medicine. He is better than others in this aspect.
There is more research.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Yanfeng suddenly said: "Everyone, we don't have to stay in the city all the time. We can also go for a walk in the mountains outside the city. What's the opportunity?"
When Yanfeng saw the shop owner following the old man, he almost wanted to follow him. The sword embryo that Hanxiong got today made him very jealous, but it was a pity that he missed it. But if he could find the old man to pick it up,
If you go to a place with this kind of stone, you might have even greater opportunities.
His words also made everyone present feel a little tempted. Anyway, the inns and inns in Hongjin City were full. Yesterday, they still spent the night in the inn courtyard. It was no different from sleeping in the wild, so why should they still be crowded?
This is a messy place. And since we are all monks, we should find a quiet place to practice.
Everyone knew Yanfeng's real purpose, which was to go to the place the old man mentioned. That area was the deep wilderness around Wufu Hill, the remaining mountains connected to the wilderness. Everyone was not a tiger, and they were walking along this way.
Although it was a long way, it mostly passed through villages and city walls where there were roads, and it was not far away from people.
After all, traveling alone in the mountains is an adventure and very inconvenient. But since everyone has traveled thousands of miles to the Wufuqiu area, why not experience the real wild scenery? This is the experience of traveling! Even if you can't find it,
There may be other discoveries to be made about Wufu Pushi.
There are many demon clans living in this area, and there are also many unique products that cannot be seen elsewhere. Since ancient times, in the inaccessible wilderness, you can also take elixirs, find natural materials and earthly treasures, tame rare birds and exotic beasts, and kill big demons... these are all
It is a legendary story that everyone hears in their hometown or sect every day. If you experience it yourself, it will be exciting to think about it!
Then someone agreed: "Anyway, there is still more than half a month until the winter solstice. There is no point in staying in this crowded and chaotic city. It is better to leave the city and travel to the wild mountains. Then we can go directly from the mountains to the foot of Wufu Hill. This
During this period of time, you may be able to witness all kinds of things that you have never experienced before. Choosing to practice quietly may not be a hard-to-find opportunity."
Miss Xiao Sa agreed: "When I left the mountain, my elders gave me instructions to refine the unique magic weapon Kongmulang Branch to the ninth leaf during this trip, but my cultivation has not been able to break through the fourth leaf.
Ninth level. I wanted to choose a place in Hongjin City to retreat and refine weapons, but I couldn't find a quiet place at all. So why not go to the mountains and fields to practice. Maybe there will be a great opportunity."
Hanxiong also nodded and said: "My father once told me not to run around alone in the mountains. He also said that my cultivation level is still shallow and I may not be able to protect myself when encountering danger. But now that there are so many of us traveling together, I have nothing to fear.
Now, it’s time to venture out!...Mr. Xiaolu, what do you mean?”
Huwa: "If everyone thinks so, I have no objection."
Hanxiong: "Then what are you talking about? Let's go quickly!" Anyway, there is no place to spend the night in the city, and he has already bought such a good sword embryo, and he doesn't want to go to the market anymore, so he wraps up those cheap goods while talking.
Get up and stuff it into the package.
Someone else asked Huwa in a low voice: "You have been shopping in the market for three days. With your good eyesight, have you found something as good as that sword embryo, but no one knows about it?"
Huwa smiled bitterly and said: "There are indeed a lot of good things, but not everyone knows about them. How can there be so many advantages in the world, just waiting for you to take advantage of them?"
There is a restaurant next to the market that specializes in providing various meals. A group of eight monks and a flower-tailed puppy found a place to have lunch first. Hanxiong happily invited the guests and bought some dry food items.
Everyone then went out of the west gate.
Just outside the city is the mountainous countryside, dotted with inhabited villages and cultivated fields in the large and small plains and valleys. It does not appear desolate, and it is a pastoral scenery that is different from the city walls.
Yanfeng still regarded himself as the leader of the people and took the initiative to lead the way. He stood beside a terraced field and said: "The old man said that we should go west for fifteen miles and then south for ten miles. This is obviously a big detour.
If we have enough cultivation to climb over mountains and ridges, we can calculate the direction and head directly to the southwest. Wouldn't it be faster to get there?"
He calculated in his mind that the old man must have taken a path in the mountains, and the shop owner was following behind. The two of them might have rushed to the mountain to find the uncut stones. If he took a shortcut and got ahead of these two people,
Maybe he could grab a bigger fortune. But what he said did make sense, so no one objected.
But after leaving the area near the inhabited village and fields, we climbed to the top of a mountain and looked forward. Everyone was a little dumbfounded. The mountains ahead were steep and steep, with thousands of rocks and ravines crisscrossing them. If we followed the direction indicated by Yanfeng, we could cross in a straight line.
, that is simply not a path for people to walk, and even many birds cannot fly over it.
Although everyone has the magical power to climb mountains and ridges, climbing up and down such a high mountain, and having to cross so many cliffs and deep ravines, is also very dangerous, and extremely energy-consuming and time-consuming. It is better to find a place with roads.
The total walking distance is only twenty-five miles on the mountain road. If they were on the main road, it would only take a short time for them.
After Huwa looked at the terrain and the direction of the mountains, he explained to everyone: "The old man did not point out a detour on purpose. Going west out of the city is a plateau valley in the middle of the mountain, with inhabited villages and villages connected by roads.
After fifteen miles, it was convenient to detour southward. He was referring to the path he usually takes, which is also the fastest way."
In the wilderness, it is not the shortest straight-line distance that is the closest, but the best place to walk in the mountains is the fastest and safest way to arrive. Huwa has already experienced it. Everyone had to go down the mountain and return to the way they came, and then along the way.
We walked along the road between the villages. This road was fairly flat and wide, barely passable by vehicles and horses, but it had a lot of ups and downs, and was winding and undulating.
Of course, the speed of everyone was very fast. It didn’t take long to cover the fifteen miles. A mountain trail appeared on the south side of the road, winding upwards and leading deep into the mountains.
When I set foot on this road again, it was not as easy as before. I saw a few small villages along the way in the mountains, scattered in small valleys. The mountain road always winds towards higher ground in the south, and after five miles it is no longer there.
There are no people around. The traces of this trail in the mountains and forests are getting weaker and weaker, and many places have been covered by vegetation. Han Xiong frowned and said: "What kind of road is this?"
Huwa analyzed: "In recent years, few people have walked here, but it was heavily trampled back then. Apparently there were large groups of people coming and going frequently, so many sections of the roadbed are still there, and there is not much grass growing up to now. In the deep mountains, if
Wufushi was produced, and many people must have come here to mine back then, but now that vein must have been basically mined out and abandoned, so the road is also abandoned.”
The old man said that he would travel ten miles south, but the scenery in the deep mountains is different every ten miles. In the early years, I don’t know who first explored this path. It wound around the mountains and ravines, and what you saw along the way showed a hundred twists and turns.
.When the road finally disappeared completely, everyone stood among the deep mountains and valleys, and the scene in front of them was very magnificent and beautiful.
It's already the beginning of winter, and this is a plateau area. The high peaks are covered with white snow. On the snow-free mountainside below, large areas of vegetation have fallen leaves, showing a pale yellow color. But further down the mountain
At this point, the color changes to orange mixed with light red. The terrain here has a huge difference. In the lowest deep valley, there are many evergreen plants and trees, overlooking a green area.
The mountain color is layered, like colorful waves meandering. The snow on the distant peaks under the sun reflects the white, light green and blue light and shadow due to different distances and angles, which is like a dream.
Miss Xiao Sa took a deep breath and said: "Feel the atmosphere of this place, it is particularly quiet and fresh. If we can find a suitable cave, it would be a good place for retreat and purification."
Yanfeng: "The road has disappeared. We have walked ten miles, so where is the place the old man mentioned?"
Huwa pointed to the distance and said: "We can just see it from here. There is a large exposed mountain wall over there, and there is a continuous line of dark brown rock formations, which should be the location of the veins that produced wuf stone in the early years." Everyone followed him.
Looking in the direction of the finger, there is indeed a continuous line of dark brown looming between the steep cliff rock layers, like a huge black dragon walking through the mountains.
When everyone walked down the high slope and passed through the valley covered with green trees and vines, they found a lot of scattered warrior stone shells. Most of them can be used to process utensils, but this place is too remote and it is difficult to transport the stones out.
So I just abandoned it in the deep valley.
Everyone arrived at the steep exposed slope before dusk. There was indeed an ore vein exposed on the surface here. There were many traces of artificial excavation left among the rugged rocks, which had been mined out. There were pieces of chiseled stone everywhere.
If there is a Wufu stone produced in the opened Wufu stone shell, it has already been taken away.
Miss Xiao Sa looked at the rock slope and sighed: "There are so many caves!"
The miners who came here earlier dug into the mountain along the veins all year round, leaving many holes. Many places were like stone chambers, which were deep, wide and flat, just like the Qingxiu built by monks who lived in seclusion in the mountains.
Cave.
Yanfeng looked around and said: "There should be no Wufu Stone produced here, but there are stone shell fragments everywhere under the cliff. I wonder if I can find the rough stone?"
Huwa looked at the sky and said: "It will get dark soon, let's find a place to spend the night first. This place is good, suitable for sitting and practicing. However, there are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains. We have already encountered several ferocious beasts on the way here.
, even though they were all frightened away by us, it was still dangerous enough.”
