The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

In ancient times, when we talked about climbing mountains, we really needed to climb, because there were no roads, and there were only steep hillsides, tall trees, weeds, and vines filling them.Because of the need to absorb sunlight, these flowers and trees occupy almost all the space, trying to let themselves be exposed to the sun.

The origin of Shennongjia is that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs, so there are many kinds of herbs in the mountains, and because of the rarity of people, you can often find old herbs and earn a good income.In the first three days, Shan Yangze and the others could occasionally see people entering the mountain herbs. Like Shan Yangze and the others, they carried a small basket on their backs, and some of them also carried livestock with them.

However, whenever these people saw the big package on the black donkey, there was always envy in their eyes that could not be concealed.

Jin Yiwei was very thoughtful in his work. The utensils he bought were semi-used in other people's homes, and he even bought a few old clothes to wear outside, so those people couldn't see any flaws, and they continued to walk in Shanyangze It's time to remind. "There are almost enough medicinal materials here, so don't go any further."

The person who spoke was an old man in his 60s and [-]s. His black and yellow face was full of wrinkles, and he looked much more haggard than an old eunuch. "I heard that the accents of the few are from the capital. The climate here is humid. We locals who grew up are fine. Look at this old man, he is already feeling uncomfortable."

The old man was talking about the old eunuch, and they almost rushed to the circle drawn by Shanyangze along the way.Although there is no detailed map of the mountains, they can roughly estimate the distance. At this speed, they can touch the edge of the circle in about four days. It's just that the old eunuch is old after all. Is the body not as good as a young man... and a few monsters....

In other words, the explosive power of the old eunuch is still the same as before, and only a little bit of stamina is left.

Shan Yangze looked at the old eunuch who was resting on the rock, sighed, and said: "There is no way, our family's pharmacy in the capital... offended the dignitaries... we can only go out to collect the medicine by ourselves. There is no need to open the medicine shop if there is no harvest yet." Shan Yangze praised his wit, this reason can not only explain why they came from afar, but also explain their inexperience in digging herbs, and even continue to move forward It will no longer arouse suspicion.

After all, in their group, the old eunuch's face is now flushed unhealthily, and he is holding a book, because after entering the mountain, he has seen many big trees that are older than himself, and now he is unhappy with his pale face.But in the eyes of outsiders, one of them is desperate to save the shopkeeper of his pharmacy, and the other is the ignorant young master at home, his sad face turned pale.

This argument was enough for the old man to make up for himself, and he said with a little sympathy: "In this world, the emperor... oh..." He also glanced at the old eunuch, thinking that no wonder he still went up the mountain at his age.

Shan Yangze still had a smile on his face when he heard others arrange his sponsors, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all, but the two guards in Jin Yi wanted to draw their swords when they heard this.It's a pity that I reached for my waist, only to realize that in order to conceal people's eyes and ears and reduce weight, the knife was left at the last stronghold of Jinyiwei.

The old man thought for a while, and said: "In the early years when my wife gave birth to her first child, my family was so poor that it was almost impossible to solve the problem. At that time, I heard people say—" The old man pointed to the southwest, and continued: " Turning over the nearest mountain, it is a flat land surrounded by mountains, where two small rivers meet, and many rare herbs grow."

"But in the end my daughter-in-law gave birth prematurely, so I didn't make it." The old man said: "No one has been there for a long time, and there are a lot of herbs, but..." The old man paused, and said: "You make up your own mind."

The place the old man pointed to was in the circle circled by Shanyangze. Even if the old man didn’t say anything, they would still go in, but it was only a matter of time, but from what the old man said, it was surrounded by mountains, flat land, and flowing water in the middle. At the intersection, several conditions required for a geomantic treasure land are met.

Shan Yangze's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you, old man." Then he went over to communicate with the old eunuch.The old lady listened to Shan Yangze's words, and suddenly became energetic, and said: "In this case, let's go." After speaking, the old eunuch stood up first, patted the dust on his body, and took the lead to leave .

Shennongjia is a forest area, and the peaks inside are undulating. Shanyangze and the others are now at the foot of the mountain. It will take a lot of effort to climb a whole mountain.

In modern times, with repaired stone steps and a cable car, climbing a mountain less than 2000 meters may reach the top in one day.But here you have to open your own way, and it is already close to the plateau area, the altitude is much higher than the capital, so the oxygen content in the air is much less, even if the surrounding is full of trees, the effect is extremely limited.

It consumes a lot and replenishes little, even if the old eunuch who can't live in the mountains is patted on the light body charm, the effect is negligible.

It took only one day to climb to a slightly higher position halfway up the mountain.When it was dark, the temperature in the mountains dropped rapidly, and it was dark and the road could not be seen clearly, so no one dared to go further up.Shan Yangze chose an open place, spread waterproof cloth, set up a small tent with tree branches, and set up a bonfire next to it, and a small camp was ready.

It is not without benefits to go out with Shan Yangze. The old eunuch still remembered how close he was to Concubine Wan Gui at the beginning, so he had a lot of complaints about him. He takes care of a lot.

The old eunuch sat by the bonfire, with a piece of dry food in his hand, and sighed: "My body is old after all..."

Shan Yangze added two sticks of firewood to the fire, and said, "Well, it's good to have a good rest when we get back to the capital."

The two Jinyi guards next to him were tired and went to bed first. They were so tired that people didn't worry too much. On the contrary, they were more dangerous like old eunuchs who were so tired that they couldn't sleep anymore.

Although Shan Yangze calculated his life in his mind, but the old eunuch has the same purpose as him now, the entanglement is too deep, the hexagrams are obscure and difficult to understand, and he can't figure it out.

The Jin Yiwei in the tent was already snoring slightly, the old eunuch looked back and sighed: "The two of them still have to practice."

"It's okay, I'm here." Shan Yangze said: "Go and rest too. I've placed amulets around the camp, so wild animals can't come in, and poisonous insects and snakes won't come." Shan Yangze turned on the bonfire and said : "I will add two more sticks of firewood, and I will fall asleep."

The old eunuch hummed, got up staggeringly, walked slowly to the tent and fell asleep.

Seeing that everyone had left, Huai Shu sat next to Shan Yangze and said, "There must be something in this place." Huai Shu stretched out his right hand, and said to the campfire, "Look."

Against the backdrop of the bonfire, the hand carrying the book was faintly glowing red, but the dark place inside that should have been a hand bone had turned into a tree branch. "My mana is barely enough to maintain human form. Something is suppressing me."

Shan Yangze also stretched out his hand, looking at the bonfire, his hand is still human-like, the firelight looks like ruby, a bit crystal clear.Shan Yangze closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and said: "Since I entered the mountain, I feel very strange... Mana is recovering rapidly." Shan Yangze's palm was facing upwards, and a black flame gradually appeared inside , "If you stay here for a month, you will recover all the injuries you suffered last time and the mana you lost."

The breathing of the old eunuch in the tent also gradually slowed down, and he fell asleep.

Having said that, Guo Qian floated out. He sat very close to Shan Yangze, looked at the black flames in his palm, and said worriedly: "It's better to get up early in the morning and hurry up. All the weapons that the king took advantage of will be destroyed. Now, the wounds on the few of us are still not healed, if there is another lightning calamity, I'm afraid... it will be hard to hide."

Shan Yangze nodded, looking at the black donkey and black dog who had not yet recovered their bodies, he knew that what Guo Qian said was still being polite, if there was another thunder disaster, he might not even have a blade of grass left in Heishan.

On the fourth day after entering the mountain, no trace of human action could be seen on the road at all.

Another night passed, and this was already the fifth sunrise since they entered the mountain.In the morning, several people divided the work and packed up the camp, and headed towards the top of the mountain.After another half day of hard work, several people finally reached the top of the mountain. Looking down the mountain, it was as the old man said, surrounded by mountains, with gurgling water, and a large lush grassland in the middle.

The corner of Shan Yangze's mouth couldn't help showing a smile, and he took out the piece of jute cloth to calculate, it was not very clear, but according to the hexagram, it was already close at hand, "It must be this place."

But when going down the mountain, I ran into a little trouble. The old eunuch is getting old. After walking a lot in the past two days, his knees have already been aching, especially when going down the mountain. The entrusted task, gritted his teeth and persisted until now.

But just now his legs and feet were stiff, and he tripped over a stone, the old eunuch stood up again, and he couldn't move much because of the branches.

Seeing this, the old eunuch said: "I can't move my legs, why don't you go first, I'll wait here, so I can rest."

Can Shan Yangze agree to this matter?Certainly not, a group of people explored, and then divided into two groups, the next second there must be a monster appearing and losing their lives.

Shan Yangze shook his head and said: "How can I leave you here alone in the wilderness, why don't I carry you down here?"

The old eunuch was a little hesitant, and wanted to say that I should leave someone with me, but who should I choose?Of these four people, Shan Yangze definitely can't stay. If one Jinyiwei is left behind, what if he really finds something, a Jinyiwei is designated to be unable to hold Shanyangze back, what if they are swallowed by him?

As for Liu Shanhuai Shu, this man has a few tricks, but for some reason, the old eunuch just doesn't want to be alone with him.

Just when the old eunuch was hesitating, rustling sounds came from behind them, and there was a voice, "It's almost there, it's in the cave below."

Shan Yangze was startled, who is this?

The place where they were resting was behind a boulder, and it was too late to hide when they heard the sound, that is, just when they stood up to be on guard, they saw a few people turning around behind the stone.

The leader was a strong man in his 50s and 50s, followed by five or six men. The older one was only [-] years old, and the younger one seemed to be in his twenties. Because of the limited space, there were still a few that could not be seen behind the boulders.

When the strong man saw Shanyangze and his party, he was taken aback for a moment, looked them up and down, smiled meaningfully, and said in a strange tone, "Who are also here to dig herbs?"
