Chapter 60: The Herbal Collector and the Ghost Mountain
"Su Yi, you are cruel enough!"
After being stunned for a moment, Nan Ying suddenly gritted his teeth, slammed the chicken leg in his hand to the ground, and quickly rushed out of the courtyard.
Flee in despair.
Su Yi turned around and returned to the courtyard, looking at the shriveled and moldy chicken legs on the ground. Thinking that he had been obsessed with this woman back then, he was speechless for a while.
However, who can guarantee that they will not encounter such a scumbag when they are young?
Shaking his head, Su Yi went straight back to the room.
He began to count his harvest.
On the desk.
Eighteen 10,000-tael banknotes, three elixirs, a yellow-level top martial arts secret book, three jade bamboos, and a bamboo shoot.
This kind of harvest is huge.
It's a pity that although there are many banknotes, they don't have much appeal to Su Yi today.
As far as he knew, in Yunhe County, you could also buy some elixirs with gold and silver.
But almost all of them are ordinary goods, and the prices are extremely high.
An ordinary low-level first-grade elixir can be sold for thirty thousand taels of silver!
As for the second-grade elixir, its value is about 80,000 taels of silver.
However, even in the market of Yunhe County, second-grade elixirs are considered rare, and they are often snatched away at high prices as soon as they appear.
However, Fu Shan also said that it would be much easier to buy elixirs with spirit stones.
Because for warriors, spiritual stones and elixirs are both spiritual resources and indispensable.
The three elixirs in front of Su Yi were all the lowest-grade first-grade elixirs.
On the contrary, that one spiritual bamboo shoot is of good quality and can be classified as a second-grade one.
"When we get to Yunhe County, we will exchange the silver notes for spiritual stones."
Su Yi thought.
In Yunhe County, ten thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for a first-level spiritual stone.
One hundred first-level spiritual stones can be exchanged for one second-level spiritual stone.
After all, even if you go to Yunhe County in the future, you still have to make money.
Only in this way can we continuously obtain spiritual resources.
Soon, Su Yi put away all the banknotes, elixirs, and secret books.
Then, he walked out of the courtyard, sat on the stone bench under the big locust tree, and chopped the green jade bamboo with the Chenfeng sword.
As wood chips flew everywhere, it didn't take long before Su Yi had a green bamboo scabbard in his hand.
Three feet long, as thick as an arm, green and crystal clear, as clear as jade.
It is very suitable to insert the Chenfeng sword into it and only expose the hilt.
But Su Yi felt that the sword hilt was a bit annoying.
After thinking about it, he took action again and directly removed the sword quills on both sides of the sword hilt to form a sword strip. In this way, the sword hilt did not even enter the green bamboo scabbard.
Then, Su Yi used a bunch of green bamboo silk to weave a flexible rope buckle and fastened it tightly to the mouth of the scabbard, so that it could be hung at the waist.
Su Yi raised the finished green bamboo scabbard and looked at it in front of his eyes.
Under the skylight, this thing is green and green, as clear as jade. Holding it in your hand, it feels cool and soft to the touch, and is extremely comfortable.
This is not so much a scabbard as a bamboo staff.
With a flick of Su Yi's wrist.
Clang!
The Chenfeng sword suddenly flew out, and the sword made a faint sound.
"That's right, it can be used as a bamboo staff in ordinary times, and it can be used as a sword to kill enemies in battle. This is much more beautiful than carrying a scabbard around your waist..."
Su Yi was very satisfied.
Although the Chenfeng sword only has a trace of spirituality, as long as it is soaked in the jade bamboo scabbard, its edge and texture will be nourished and changed.
This is the reason why Su Yi made this scabbard.
Next, he split the remaining jade bamboos one by one and cut them into seven-inch-long bamboo pieces. In the end, he made a total of thirty-six pieces.
These are all spiritual materials, and some basic talismans can be carved on them, which can be used to set up formations, kill enemies, exorcise evil spirits, and divination...
Finally, Su Yi made another bamboo hairpin for herself.
Of course, he shaved off all the green color on the surface of the bamboo hairpin, giving it a simple and elegant shiny white color.
If you wear a green hairpin, the color on your head will inevitably be misunderstood.
Su Yi came to the bronze mirror in the room.
He is seen in the bronze mirror, with his hands clasped behind his back, his long hair tied into a bun with a white bamboo hairpin, and a bamboo stick hanging diagonally by his waist, looking refreshing and neat.
And with the experience and state of mind in his previous life, his temperament has become more and more indifferent, which can be called Xiao Shuxuanju and Zhanran.
"After all, I am only seventeen years old. I am still young and have no trace of old age. This is why I have a little bit of the charm of my previous life."
Su Yi nodded with satisfaction.
"The immortal master's appearance reminds Wan'er of the character 'Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world'."
Suddenly, Qingwan's timid voice of praise came from the soul-nurturing gourd. Her courage seemed to have grown a lot, and now she dared to take the initiative to speak out.
"It's just a good-looking skin. Only a woman like you would care so much."
Su Yi shook his head disapprovingly and ordered, "Get ready, I may take you to Guimu Ridge soon."
Then, he went straight to the desk and started making talismans with bamboo pieces.
…
In the evening.
Hu Quan brought a herb collector named "Guo Bing" to Xinghuang Xiaoju.
Guo Bing is very old, with sparse hair and a tall, skinny figure.
He was wearing a bamboo hat. Under the bamboo hat, there was a face that was oozing. Half of his face was red and swollen, half of his face was purple and black, and his face was distorted like a ghost face, which was particularly terrifying.
"Uncle, this old man Guo is one of the most experienced herbal collectors in the city. He has been in the Guimuling area many years ago."
Seeing Su Yi, Hu Quan introduced, "Old Man Guo is the only one who is most familiar with the situation in Guimuling, and he can be said to know it like the back of his hand."
"Guanshi Hu is ridiculous. Ever since I was injured by a ghost in Guimu Ridge, I haven't been to Guimu Ridge for ten years."
Guo Bing next to him had a hoarse voice and weak energy, and seemed to be very weak.
After looking Guo Bing up and down, Su Yi suddenly asked: "What you encountered back then was a 'yin evil ghost'?"
"A sinister ghost?"
Guo Bing was confused. He was just an ordinary person and didn't understand anything about ghosts.
Su Yi said casually: "Yin evil ghost is one of the lowest evil ghosts, born in the dirty tomb."
"Anyone who is contaminated by the breath of this ghost will be invaded by the poison of green fire. At least like you, you will become a 'yin and yang ghost face'. Day and night, you will be eroded by the poison and live in pain."
"In severe cases, within three days, it will turn into dry bones."
After hearing this, Hu Quan couldn't help but be surprised. This was the first time he had heard of such a strange and ominous thing.
Guo Bing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited, with a look of hope on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, do you have any way to treat this kind of injury?"
Su Yi nodded and said casually: "You have been poisoned for ten years. The green fire poison has invaded your internal organs. It is not easy to completely eliminate the poison."
Guo Bing knelt down with a bang and kowtowed: "Uncle, please save me. In the past ten years, I have been tortured to the point of death and miserable. If I had not taken care of my wife and children, I would have committed suicide long ago."
Got it!"
"As long as my uncle agrees to save me, I am willing to take my uncle to Guimu Ridge in person!"
Su Yi looked at Hu Quan and said: "I will write a prescription later. You can get him some medicine and boil it. It will take about half a year to completely eliminate the poison in the body."
Hu Quan quickly agreed.
Guo Bing was so excited that he kowtowed repeatedly and burst into tears of gratitude to Su Yi.
"Okay, Old Man Guo, even Dr. Wu highly praises my medical skills. Since he promised to save you, he will keep the medicine until the disease is cured."
Hu Quan helped Guo Bing up and said, "If you are really grateful to me, tell me everything about Guimuling."
Guo Bing nodded repeatedly and asked: "Uncle, are you planning to go to Guimu Ridge?"
"good."
Su Yi said calmly.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Bing gritted his teeth and said: "The terrain in Guimu Ridge is complex and dangerous. It is impossible to describe its situation with words alone. I am willing to guide you and go there myself!"
Hu Quan was very anxious and said: "Uncle, you don't go to that ghost place casually. You..."
Su Yi interrupted: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me."
Then, he said to Guo Bing, "Tomorrow morning, you come to Xinghuang Medical Center and take me to Guimuling. Don't worry, I will take you back safely."
Guo Bing agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hu Quan could only sigh and was powerless to persuade him.
After finalizing the matter, for the sake of caution, Su Yi prepared some items to ward off evil spirits that night, and then he felt completely at ease.
Early the next morning.
Su Yi held a bamboo stick in his hand, a soul-nourishing gourd hanging on his waist, and a hairpin inserted diagonally into his bun. Shi Shiran walked out of the courtyard.
When he arrived outside Xinghuang Medical Center, Guo Bing, wearing a bamboo hat, was already waiting there.
But when the two were about to set off, suddenly a voice came from the street in the distance:
"Guo Bing, you are here, I finally found you!"
Su Yi looked up and saw a group of figures hurriedly approaching from a distance.
The leader was actually Wen Jueyuan.
When he saw Su Yi standing next to Guo Bing, Wen Jueyuan's pupils shrank and his face became a little stiff.
Guo Bing did not notice this subtle change, and respectfully raised his hands: "What does the young master want to do with the old man?"
He is the herb gatherer of the Wen family, and Wen Jueyuan is the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Wen family, so he cannot be disrespected.
Wen Jueyuan looked solemn and said: "There is a nobleman from Yunhe County who plans to go to Guimuling. He needs someone who is familiar with the situation to guide him. As far as I know, you, Guo Bing, are the only one in Guangling City who is capable.
Get this done.”
Guo Bing was stunned and subconsciously looked at Su Yi beside him.
"Guo Bing, what do you mean?"
Wen Jueyuan frowned and said, "Don't worry, when things are done, your benefits will be inevitable!"
Guo Bing quickly explained: "Young Master, you have misunderstood. I promised Uncle Su yesterday that I plan to go to Guimu Ridge now."
"What?"
This time it was Wen Jueyuan's turn to be stunned. He looked at Su Yi again and said in a stiff tone, "Why are you going to Guimu Ridge?"
Although his attitude was indifferent, after experiencing a series of events at the Longmen Banquet, when he faced Su Yi again, he no longer dared to act as superior as before.
Su Yi played with the bamboo stick in his hand and said calmly: "My affairs have nothing to do with you."
There was a flash of anger between Wen Jueyuan's brows, but he was quickly controlled.
He stared into Su Yi's eyes and said word by word: "Su Yi, I admit that after your recovery, your cultivation has become extraordinary. Even the Lord of Fu Shan City thinks highly of you."
"But don't forget, you are still the son-in-law of our Wen family!"
The word "brother-in-law" was bitten hard by him.
