Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 41
After reading the "King of Medicine", although he is not as good as the herbal collectors who have been active in the mountains and forests for many years in terms of identifying and identifying medicines, the basic identification is not difficult.

However, the "King of Medicine" was written in the former Zhao Dynasty, nearly 200 years ago, and there may be mistakes and omissions in the book, so it cannot be fully believed.

Chen Yu turned around and flew between the cliffs.

He couldn't jump across the gap of ten feet away, but the distance between the two sides of the mountain stream in this area is not too far, only one or two feet left and right, taking advantage of the height difference, it is easy to jump back and forth.

Just be careful when landing. First, the cliff is slippery and easy to lose your hands. Second, your feet are easily sprained.

This is quite a test of his unloading skills.

Fortunately, Yunhe Kung Fu's body skills are mysterious enough, and his spirit has become stronger in recent days, his understanding of footwork is far superior to other palm finger martial arts, and he is faintly on the verge of mastering it.

When you flick and turn, you can direct all your strength into the ground under your feet.

Works great, but a bit useless.

Up!
Chen Yu lifted his breath, and his figure jumped up again.

Running on the mountain wall, like an ape, showing a dexterous posture.At the same time, his eyesight was exhausted, and he kept searching around.

There are several medicinal herbs in the bamboo basket, and the quality is excellent, but it is a pity that the reed ginseng has not been found yet. He suspects that he has to go deeper, and there may be places near the stream.

Whoa!

Suddenly, he stepped on the ground, but Chen Yu was not in a hurry, holding the back basket with one hand, and slapped the rock with the other.

Boom!The dullness is like the sound of drums blooming, the strength surges in the palm of the five fingers, and the membrane vibrates endlessly.

The sound echoed in the deep mountain stream.

With the force from the recoil, he kicked the mountain rock, shot out, and hung on the big dusty rock on the other side.

A few feet below the body, the stream water is clearly visible.

Chen Yu didn't go down, but raised his head, and after a short rest, he began to climb upwards, and at the same time leaned deeper into the clouds and mist.

Mountain streams are divided into upper and lower, high and low, and inside and outside.

Looking at the clouds and mist at Jiandi, the deep and lonely place seems like a legendary treasure land, but on the contrary, generally speaking, the medicinal herbs in this kind of place are rarer and harder to find.

In contrast, the fog on the rock wall above is thin and sunny, which is suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs.And the crevices in the high places are covered with ivy and overgrown with weeds, which also provide shelter for the medicinal herbs.

The stream is located at the bottom of the mountain stream, with strong water vapor, and it does not see the sun all the year round. The sparse grass and fern are short and thin. Except for some with special habits, few herbs will survive and grow.

Compared with medicinal herbs, it is more suitable for poisonous snakes and insects.

This is also the reason why those herb collectors bring hemp ropes to bind them when they find this kind of canyon stream, instead of choosing a flatter bottom, they risk life and death to dangle on the cliff.

The old Taoist is an old herb picker, and he is very familiar with this.

……

At the same time, at Shanjiankou, another herbal collector who has been collecting herbs for many years is also teaching his apprentices in Dundun,
On the side, the young man holding a pickaxe and hammer is respectful, his face is still childish, and his eyes are full of anticipation.

This was the first time he followed his master into the mountains, and the herb pickers went out and about in the mountains and wilds, pulling mountains and forests, and it was impossible not to order something that was at the bottom of the box.But compared to these, the boy thinks more about going down to pick something by himself.

Maybe, relying on my own martial arts, I can pick areas that even the master can't pick.

"The mountain is high and the water is deep. There are many insects and snakes at the bottom, but the medicinal herbs are scarce, so the medicinal herbs have to be collected from the top."

The old man pointed around, and he could naturally see the little Jiujiu in his apprentice's heart. It was the first time he went to the mountain to collect medicine with such ambitions, and he was just like that back then.

So I only heard the old man continue to say, "The Crouching Canal is nine miles long, the widest part is thirty feet, and the narrow place is also about ten feet.

Don't think that you will have no worries after learning the two-handed crop handle from Wu Laoliu. If you really want to collect herbs, you have to follow the old man's advice.Do not believe?look down. "

Under the direct gaze of the old man, the young man with fists and kicks was a little bored, and was about to refute, but was interrupted by the other party.I had no choice but to probe out and look down the cliff.

At the beginning, I was very bold and felt nothing.

The next moment, the clouds and mist billowed, and the darkness came into view. Immediately, I felt that it was deep and difficult to see, and a burst of dizziness came over me. I didn't dare to look more, let alone have other thoughts.

He looked at the old man with deep admiration.It is estimated that only experienced herb pickers like the master can set foot in such a steep and steep place.

Just by taking a look at it, I felt half of the three souls flew away, and half of the seven souls were scattered.

Too high, too deep, as if hiding a monster.Fortunately, he has also practiced boxing, and he is very courageous. If ordinary people came, he would have been paralyzed to the ground.

But the master can climb mountains, stand upright, swim...walk...what is that? ?
The young man rubbed his eyes, and looked incredulously at the figure on the cliff that was flying swiftly and erratically like a god.

Across the mountains, you are as happy as a fairy!

"Okay, remember this feeling, be in awe of the mountains and rivers, and don't forget about it. Most of those daring herb pickers buried the wasteland and fed the wild wolves!"

On the side, the old man stopped talking. This apprentice is usually obedient and smooth, but after practicing martial arts, he feels that he is not weaker than the herbal pickers who have been hanging in the gate of hell all year round.

Today is a small lesson for him to remember.

Loop the rope, and hand the side with the nail head to the boy.

"The head of the nail is slanted down, two inches into the soil, and must be nailed to death."

The old man talked about some experiences to himself, and he didn't see his apprentice responding for a long time. He raised his eyes in doubt, but saw the young man staring wide-eyed, staring blankly into the distance.

He followed his line of sight, his eyeballs were straightened, his mouth gradually opened wide, as if it could hold a goose egg!

Great Immortal of Pihe!Today, this old man met a real fairy!
……

On the other side, Chen, who was mistaken for a hermit immortal, was laughing heartily at the moment because of the palm-sized thing that looked like wild ginseng that he was holding in his arms.

Reed ginseng, finally found it.

After rubbing it twice, he threw it back into the basket, thinking that the reed ginseng was hidden deep enough.

Looking back, it was about four miles away from the place where I just started descending the cliff. I climbed all the way down the mountain and down the rock, even with the spiritual liquid to replenish my physical strength, it still took a lot of effort.

Fortunately, the closer to the depth, the more rocks cracked.

There are also many places to stay.

Tighten the basket, Chen Yu is ready to go back. This trip has picked a lot of herbs, most of which are for blood and energy. He plans to cook with a cauldron after going back. If there is no prescription, he can only use it to make soup drink.

It is impossible to eat it raw, is it really possible to absorb the power of the medicine with one bite?
Chen Yu claimed to be a normal person, without the appetite for shocking the world.

Of course, not all of them can’t be eaten raw. For example, there are several kinds in the back basket that can be tasted, but it’s still the same sentence, it’s best to have a specially prepared prescription.

Speaking of which, this time he had another idea.

Spiritual mechanism can catalyze, but what about spiritual liquid?

There is also aura, which used dead objects before, so it cannot be touched, and animals such as earthworms exploded directly.

This time he wanted to try the fresh herbs that had just left the ground in his hand, whether there would be any new changes.

But Chen Yu also knew that there was little hope, it was just an experiment.

"Huh? Is there anyone else here?"

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly looked down and saw in the wind tunnel on the opposite corner of the cliff, an old man and a young man were looking up at him.

Looking at the full body of equipment, he must be a herb picker.

Chen Yu didn't think much, waved his hand at the other party friendly, and then drifted away.

……

"Master, that... just now is also a herb picker?"

The young man pointed at the back of Jianyuan, especially the bamboo basket on the other's back, and realized that this is not a hidden fairy, he is clearly a herb picker like the master!

The old man was silent, raising his hands to look at the stone pick and hammer in his palms, and the tight rope around his waist.

Thinking of going up and down carefully in the past, I am afraid that something will go wrong and slip off the cliff, but what about others?

That's an easy one!
"Probably." He could see that the opponent probably did this by relying on his outstanding lightness kung fu.But that's someone else's skill, so I can't be jealous.

It's just that martial arts can really do this?
Forgive the old man for thinking so, after all, not to mention the town, even the county town has never heard of anyone with such superb lightness kung fu.

Then, he couldn't help but look at the boy beside him.

By the way, is there still time to learn martial arts from Wu Laoliu?
