Chapter 68: The Taoist Priest and the Mountain Monster
Xia Yun nodded and said: "Mr. Lin, as long as we can collect the medicine on time and don't owe the medicine farmers their hard-earned money, it won't be a big hassle for me to bring people here again!"
As the manager of the purchasing department, Xia Yun's spirit of not being moved by selfish desires and only thinking about others is enough to win Lin Lei's appreciation and respect!
About an hour later, Lin Lei, carrying a black travel bag and Wang Xiaofeng, returned to Old Man Wang's home.
When Old Man Wang looked at the stacks of hundred-dollar bills in his black travel bag, he was stunned. In all his life, he had never seen so much money!
Now, not only will Wang Xiaofeng have enough money to go to college, but her family’s life will also be improved because of this huge sum of money!
This huge difference made Old Man Wang feel a little dazed. He stared at the huge sum of money on the table in a daze.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Xiaofeng took Old Man Wang to sit down and comforted him: "Dad, my daughter has grown up now, and she will definitely make more money in the future to honor you!"
Old man Wang was moved in his heart. If a woman is like this, her life will not be in vain!
"Daughter, I believe you can do it!" After old man Wang encouraged Wang Xiaofeng, his eyes fell back on Lin Lei, and asked with a surprised look: "Young man, why did you go out and your face turned out like this?
Bad? Do you have a cold?"
Lin Lei smiled and shook his head, and repeated the nonsense he had just lied to Xia Yun.
Old man Wang is an honest and honest medicine farmer with a simple personality. After hearing what Lin Lei said, he didn't think much about it.
However, the fellow village head noticed something on the faces of Lin Lei and Wang Xiaofeng. After all, a full hour had passed since Lin Lei and Wang Xiaofeng went out and returned. Who knows what these two children were doing outside?
What's more, what was Lin Lei like when he went out? He was rosy and energetic! But what was he like when he came back? His face was pale, his eyes were empty, and he looked sick!
On the contrary, although Wang Xiaofeng was in good spirits when she went out, she was still recovering from a serious illness and was still a little arrogant!
However, after Wang Xiaofeng came back, she seemed to be a changed person, bright and energetic. The biggest change was her eyes, which were as deep as the sea and piercing!
However, although the fellow village chief saw some clues, he felt very strange in his heart, but when he saw Lao Wang's family happily and happily, Lin Lei sat aside, holding the century-old ginseng king, with a silly look on his face, "hey hey", he
There was no need to talk too much.
However, at this moment, Old Man Wang suddenly sighed, and his eyes turned from the 'big money' back to the century-old ginseng king. All the bizarre experiences of picking the century-old ginseng king appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel
Sighing again, everything that happened back then has now become a source of frustration in Old Man Wang’s heart. After sighing three times, Old Man Wang stared blankly at the Centennial Ginseng King and recounted everything that happened back then.
"I still remember that at that time, I was only in my twenties, a time when I was young and energetic.
That summer, I don’t remember when it was, I just remember that the weather was very nice that day. In my hometown village, a Taoist priest suddenly came. As soon as the Taoist priest entered the village, he said to the villagers
, on the mountain to the east of the village, a mountain monster that became a spirit appeared. You must go up and kill the mountain monster before it gives birth to spiritual wisdom! Otherwise, this mountain monster will give birth to spiritual wisdom.
Harmful to the lives of hundreds of miles around!
At that time, the villagers were very scared after hearing what the Taoist said. The village chief immediately sent out young people in the village to assist the Taoist in going up the mountain to kill the monsters. I was also one of the young people in the village.
That day, the Taoist leader took us up to the mountain with the monster. However, we searched the mountain no less than ten times, but we couldn't find even a shadow of the monster. After the Taoist learned the news, he suddenly
He was so frightened that he thought the mountain monster had descended from the mountain and caused harm to the people in the village.
Afterwards, the Taoist priest immediately took us back to the village. However, when we saw that the villagers were all safe, the Taoist priest and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next day, a villager from a neighboring village more than ten kilometers away from our village suddenly ran into our village covered in blood and said that their village was suddenly attacked by a monster, and the entire village of more than 300 people was attacked.
He was the only one who escaped, and the others were all eaten alive by the monster.
After hearing the shocking news, the villagers immediately told the Taoist priest. At that time, the Taoist priest took us young people to a neighboring village.
However, when we arrived at the neighboring village, I will never forget that scene!
How can I describe that place?
It was a purgatory of blood and bones. As soon as you entered, you saw a blood-stained land, scattered with white bones and pieces of bloody flesh.
At that time, when we young people saw this hellish scene, everyone was so frightened that their heads were dizzy, their limbs became weak, and they started to vomit while lying on the ground!
After we had almost adapted to this purgatory of blood and bones, the Taoist leader took us to search the village, hoping that someone could survive, but of the more than 300 people in the village, no one survived!
That day, we went up the mountain to search again, but the final result was the same as the previous day, no mountain monster was found! However, after searching the mountain this day, the Taoist leader did not take us back to the village, but took us with him.
We laid an ambush on the mountain and waited for the monster to appear.
At night, because I was too tired from the day's search, I fell asleep unknowingly. When I woke up, I was surprised to find that all my companions around me had disappeared!
When I discovered this situation, not to mention how scared I was, I thought they were all eaten by mountain monsters! However, when I thought about it, if they were all eaten by mountain monsters, it stands to reason that I would also
He should have been eaten by the mountain monster, and he shouldn't still be alive!
Could it be that the mountain monster doesn't like to eat motionless beings who are sleeping? It's impossible. Looking at the miserable situation in the neighboring village, you can see that this mountain monster has a very good appetite. As long as it is alive, he will eat anything!
Huh? Could it be that they have all returned to the village?
After I had this idea, I boldly walked towards the village.
At that time, I didn't know how long I would be walking when I suddenly heard the roar of wild beasts coming from ahead.
After I heard this sound, I felt cold and thought: I must have encountered that mountain monster.
So, I ran back, hoping that the mountain monster hadn't discovered me yet.
However, not long after I ran out, I heard the roar of a wild beast, getting closer and closer to me. I was so frightened that I tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground without paying attention. Then, I walked down the steep slope towards the tree.
Roll down the mountain.
At that time, I was only worried that the mountain monster would catch up, and I didn't care about the pain on my body. I just hoped that I could roll all the way to the bottom of the mountain and escape!
Fortunately, when my body stopped, the roars of wild beasts became farther and farther away from me. I thought the mountain monster had given up eating me.
However, before I could be happy, I heard thunder one after another in front of me. After hearing this sound, I thought that Thunder God had discovered a harmful mountain monster here and was going to kill him with thunder.
I had the courage to run up, but to my surprise, I found a deep valley in front of me. The sound of thunder came from this deep valley!
When I arrived at the mouth of the deep canyon, I was shocked to find that layers of thick dark clouds had gathered above the deep canyon. Countless thunderstorms continued to strike into the deep canyon, and the entire deep canyon was engulfed in lightning and thunder.
Moreover, this was the first time I was so close to thunder and lightning, and the first time I had seen such a spectacular scene. I stood at the mouth of the valley and was surprised for more than a minute before I woke up. Fortunately, the thunder and lightning did not strike out of the valley, otherwise
If so, no matter how many lives I have, it will be useless, they will all be chopped into ashes by the thunder.
When I woke up, I was surprised to find that there was actually a century-old king ginseng growing at my feet. Moreover, after discovering the century-old king ginseng, I discovered that in that deep valley, there were actually king of medicines growing all over the mountains and plains.
