The proprietor's wife, Wang Shoujie, was standing in the crowd. When she heard what Zhou Bo said, her hands wrapped in black cloth bags were pressed against her lower abdomen and she was very nervous.
Su Wu turned to look at her and asked her: "At that time, you and your husband broke away from the large team and went deep into the dense forest. What did you experience there?"
Wang Shoujie bowed to Su Wu and said in a hoarse voice: "To be honest with you, I was in a carriage at that time. Although I followed my husband deep into the dense forest, I was very frightened and did not dare to observe the outside world. I only heard what was going on outside. movement.
When the noises stopped, I opened the car curtain and observed the outside world - Zhou Guotou had already stepped forward, and I was already outside the dense forest.
The brothers who followed my husband-in-law all said they saw a high archway in the dense forest.
There is a plaque on the archway that reads, "The Origin of Humanity, the Blessing of the Country".
——In a deep forest in the wilderness, an archway suddenly appeared. No matter how you looked at it, everyone thought it was strange. They wanted to avoid that archway and go somewhere else. But every time everyone avoided that archway and tried to find a new way, In the end, we will return to the archway.
My husband felt that he might be encountering a situation where "ghosts were breaking the wall" or "ghosts were blocking the eyes", so he set off firecrackers and made various attempts to scare away the evil spirits and dispel the "self-obsessed mind". They tried, but to no avail - as a last resort, someone suggested that everyone mark the route and find their way out separately. My husband agreed to this suggestion.
My husband took me and more than ten brothers from the south.
Others broke out from the north, east or west.
But my husband marked all the way and walked along the east. After going far away, he still saw the archway in a clearing in the forest.
He made up his mind and led everyone through the archway and walked out——
Not long after passing through the archway, I heard a sound of people roaring and horses neighing outside. The strong horse pulling me obviously sped up, and then we left the dense forest.
——The other brothers who were looking for their way separately also walked out of the dense forest one after another.
They all said that after many attempts to find a way to no avail, they just walked through the archway and walked out of the dense forest.
Only my husband disappeared in that deep forest..."
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she sobbed softly.
Zhou Bo frowned slightly and stopped talking.
Su Wu's intention spread here, covering the entire audience silently. He opened his eyebrows and opened his eyes, and the figure of Wang Shoujie was reflected in his eyes - whether it was his current intention or the true pupils of the six-day old ghost, No one noticed any abnormal fluctuations in Wang Shoujie's emotions and behavior when he spoke.
——Judging from his observation, Wang Shoujie did not lie in his words.
He turned to look at Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo received instructions from his eyes and gave Wang Shoujie a small fist. He turned to Su Wu and said: "At that time, the proprietor's wife and a group of brothers appeared outside the dense forest. When I went to ask her about the specific situation, she did not mention it. And about seeing an archway in the deep forest.
None of the other brothers mentioned this matter.
Many of those people had close friendships with Zhou and went through life and death together.
They didn't tell me such an important thing..."
Zhou Bo's eyes were a little blank as he spoke.
"The situation was tense at that time. I was worried about my husband's whereabouts and was in a daze. I ignored this extremely important matter for a while." Mrs. Wang whispered, "As for the other brothers, why didn't they inform Zhou Zhou of such an important situation? Guotou, I really don’t know what they are thinking..."
Zhou Bo shook his head and said nothing.
Before experiencing the internal strife in the caravan, he thought that he and the brothers were in the same boat, and everyone had the same mind. But after this incident, he was somewhat discouraged. Each person had his own mind, and he thought that everyone had the same mind.
, in fact it is not.
He thinks that he and the other party have an irreversible relationship and can treat each other with sincerity, but the other party may not think so.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he did not tell himself this secret matter.
There were quite a few discrepancies between what Wang Shoujie and Zhou Bo said, but Su Wu observed the two people's minds, spirits, and souls, and did not see any abnormal fluctuations in their minds, spirits, and souls - what the two said seemed to be true.
Su Wu looked calm, looked at the caravan members around him, and asked aloud: "How did you know that the 'Life and Death Grass' can cure the 'Guanyin Earth Disease' and that the Seven-leaf Life and Death Grass can cut off the root of the disease?"
"When we passed through that desolate area, we heard rumors that the Grass of Life and Death could cure this strange disease.
Afterwards, I entered the secret realm and did some verification, and found that the rumors were indeed true." Zhou Bo responded to Su Wu, "But we don't know where the rumors came from."
The surrounding caravan members nodded.
"Do you still have the grass of life and death in your hands?" Su Wu asked again.
The caravan members looked at each other.
Chen Bing shook his head and said: "The grass of life and death is quite rare. We urgently need this herb to relieve our own 'Guanyin's disease'. We often buy this herb every time we go to a place and then use it up within two or three days. We
I don’t have any extra herbs in my hand.”
Su Wu looked at Chen Bing, Zhou Bo and others as they took off their shoes and socks.
The soles of several people's feet have been covered with yellow mud shells, and the medicinal effect of the grass of life and death has disappeared.
"In what kind of environment do these medicinal herbs grow?" Su Wu asked.
Chen Bing frowned and pondered for a while, then replied: "When I purchased the Grass of Life and Death, I also asked the people in the Hidden Area about this. They said that this kind of medicinal herb mostly grows in the cold, dry ditches and ridges. We bought the Grass of Life and Death along the way,
I also found that this herb is abundant in some places, but in other places the people, chiefs, and even local lords have never even seen this herb."
While talking, Chen Bing signaled Zhou Bo with his eyes.
Zhou Bo understood on the spot and took out a parchment scroll from his arms.
Unfolding the sheepskin scroll, a hand-drawn map outlined with mineral materials appeared in Su Wu's eyes.
That map covered most of the present-day Mizog Region, as well as the Sichuan and Yunnan borders adjacent to the Mizog Region.
Chen Bing pointed at several locations on the map, and Su Wu could easily discover that the locations pointed by Chen Bing were all close to a large river that ran through the Hidden Area from west to east - the 'Tianji Sea'.
"The areas where there are a large number of grasses of life and death are all tributaries and diversion areas of the "Tianji Sea" river in the Hidden Realm. Now, there is no trickle of river water left in those tributary areas.
Tianjihai is the name used by people in the Mizog region for this river.
In the Han Dynasty, this river was also called the "Kunlun River" and "Kunlun Sea".
This river rushes down from the highest point of the Kunlun Snow Mountains and runs through the entire secret area.
——Perhaps there are unknown things left in the Kunlun Mountains, which once irrigated the land that the Kunlun Sea passes by, causing this kind of life-and-death grass to grow on those lands, which can relieve the "Guanyin soil disease".
More likely - there is a deep connection between the things that exist in the Kunlun Mountains and the strange disease that appears in a certain place in Sichuan and Sichuan - the 'Guanyin Earthly Disease'!" Chen Bing told Su Wu in a deep voice about the relationship between their caravans.
Judgment and speculation on this matter.
"Tianji Sea, Kunlun Sea..."
Su Wu whispered to himself.
The "Daxueshan Temple" is built on the snowy mountains of the Kunlun Mountains.
According to the legend of the secret area that has been handed down from ancient times to this day, the heaven where Zhu Lu is located - the 'Yuanri Sacred Mountain', is also located in the Kunlun Mountains.
Jinglian went to the hot springs on the top of the snow mountain to obtain the prophetic book - the 'Treasure Book'.
It is impossible to get a full picture of the book by looking at one or more pages.
Su Wu still has a page of 'terma paper' in his hand.
"It seems that if you can escape from the stone temple, do you want to go to the source of the 'Tianji Sea'?
Trying to get the seven-leaf grass of life and death along the way?" Su Wu looked at the map and already knew the future destination of this caravan.
Zhou Bo, Chen Bing and others all nodded in agreement.
Zhou Bo raised his eyes and looked at the silent, blood-stained golden Buddha with stitches all over the temple. He turned back and tentatively said to Su Wu: "But this stone temple is so weird. If you want to get away from it, you can only
I’m afraid it’s not that easy…”
When Su Wu heard the words, he immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his words.
He smiled and said: "This stone temple is not the biggest obstacle to your journey to the source of Tianji Sea.
The biggest obstacle is the local disease of Guanyin in your body."
Pointing to Zhou Bo's feet that were wrapped in yellow mud shells, Su Wu continued: "Looking at the progress of this disease, I'm afraid that in five or seven days, the loess will be buried from your ankles to your heads. In five or seven days, what do you think?"
It is impossible to walk from here to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, the source of the Tianji Sea."
Zhou Bo and others looked slightly happy when they heard that Su Wu actually said that the current Stone Temple was not the biggest obstacle to their trip.
Suddenly he knew that Su Wu had a way to take them out of this strange stone temple.
But as Su Wu pointed with his fingers and saw his feet, the joy on everyone's faces gradually disappeared.
"If we can find grass of life and death along the way, if we walk and consume all the time, we should still have a slight chance of reaching the foot of the Kunlun Mountains." Zhou Bo hesitated.
"Not much chance." Su Wu shook his head.
Chen Bing looked at Su Wu, but something moved in his heart - he suddenly bowed to Su Wu and saluted, and said: "Does Mr. Su have a way? If there is a way to delay the progression of this strange disease in my body, wait until I find it."
After obtaining the seven-leaf grass of life and death and solving my own illness, I am willing to serve my benefactor as my master and do my best for my benefactor!"
The members of the horse gang immediately reacted after hearing this!
Some are hesitant;
Some people stand indifferent;
Some people also cupped their fists and saluted Su Wu, saying in unison: "The same goes for us!"
Although these people join the caravan, they are not the brothers of the caravan owner. It is normal for them to switch to other caravans and caravans. Now, they have no reason to switch to the new owner in front of the old owner’s wife.
burden.
Zhou Bo looked around, then turned back to look at Su Wu, who had a dull expression. He also bowed to Su Wu and saluted: "If I can alleviate the progression of the disease in my lower body, I am willing to give my life in return!"
At this time, many people followed Zhou Bo and saluted Su Wu: "I am willing to repay you with my life!"
