Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 49 Loach
There is no hurry to go into the mountains to find medicine, and it is not too late to go after planting these few days.

When he came to the medicine field, he saw that the leaves of Yuan Linggen had shrunk to the ground, leaving only two yellowish leaves outside.

Skillfully dig out and pull up.

But this time I don't know what the reason is. These two roots seem to be a little undernourished. At least the hollow chamber in the center is a circle smaller than the one planted for the first time.

It was quickly cut open, but this time he had experience, so he didn't completely cut it in half, but only made an inverted triangle cut on the surface.The dagger was inserted into the epidermis, and the small piece was gently pulled out.

After a short pause, curling smoke flew out and slowly condensed into beads in the air.

No matter how many times I watch it, this scene is magical enough.

After admiring the shocking magnificence of the air beads for a while, he mixed them with well water, and then poured the prepared spiritual liquid into the water bag.

There are not many water bags in the Taoist temple, there are four in total, one bag is still left, and the other three bags are all filled by him at this time.

As for the rest of the source of spiritual energy, Chen Yu continued to seal it up and plugged the hole. It seems that there should be less overflow than the first time.

"It would be nice to have more water bladders."

How about trying a bamboo tube?Or barrel?
According to his experience, apart from the magical effect, the spiritual liquid is no different from water, both will volatilize and seep.So if you want to use wooden barrels for storage, the airtight process is a problem.

Bamboo tubes are suitable, so you can give it a try.

The main reason is that Chen Yu has not yet found the usage of the spiritual source of spiritual energy, so he can only passively synthesize spiritual liquid.Moreover, he has experimented with using rainwater and sewage to synthesize them, and they are all successful, but it is a pity that they cannot be drunk.

Obviously, Reiki does not have the ability to purify water bodies.

He also tried to directly touch the plants with spiritual energy, but the result was not satisfactory. Like the earthworm beetles that time, once touched, they would explode in place.

Die without sloppiness.

In front of the medicine field, after filling the spiritual liquid and storing the remaining spiritual sources in Yuan Linggen, Chen Yu returned to the field.

Not in a hurry to start the third inspiration catalysis, he waited for the planks and the medicinal herbs and grain seeds in the crock. This time, he not only used the inspiration, but also added the spiritual liquid for comparison.

If the spiritual liquid can also produce some effects, maybe this medicine field will be more useful in the future.

"Let's level it out first."

The production of Yuanlinggen this time is not as good as last time, either the inspiration was scattered, or there was a problem with the soil force.He intends to fertilize and turn the soil.

"Come back next time, you can try more than two grains of spiritual catalyst..."

……

April [-], sunny.

yawn!

In the small view on the mountain, Chen Yu stood up after finishing his work, and the rays of the sun gradually blurred as he looked towards the sky.

The reed ginseng ointment was exhausted three days ago, so at this moment, only 25 rounds of exercise are maintained. Fortunately, the liver organ has been strengthened a lot under the nourishment of the spiritual liquid and ointment during this period of time. Feel as stressed as when you first started.

He stretched himself, still wearing the plain white shirt.

There have been a lot of chores in the past five days. After all, after digging the soil, the seeds must be planted. In addition to the continuous cultivation of medicine and grain seeds, these guys are much more troublesome to take care of than ordinary plants.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and in a row of earthen pots leaning against the courtyard wall, the two medicinal herbs have regained their vitality and vigor, and are now stretching their roots and leaves under the sunshine of the morning glow.

One is called Xie Lian Ye, and the other is called Celery.

The former sounds like scallions (scallions), while the latter is the famous celery.

Both can be used as medicine, and he doesn't choose to pick them, so he chose them for experimentation—they can also be used to stew soup to taste.

Speaking of seasoning, Chen Yu couldn't help rubbing his chin with a little green beard, thinking it was time to prove himself.

Originally, he planned to go up the mountain to look for reed ginseng, but this time he happened to catch that black fish along the way.

"Celery and fish are delicious."

As soon as he said he would leave, after breakfast, he went to the vegetable garden to dig seven or eight red earthworms that were alive and kicking, put them in bamboo tubes, and hung them on his waist.

Then he picked up the bamboo pole that had never been opened, and gathered the fishing line on the cloth bag.Two bamboo baskets, one large and one small, are stacked on the back, the big one is used to hold medicinal herbs, and the narrow necked one is reserved for black fish.

In the middle of spring, the vegetation in the mountains and forests grows wildly.

Climbing and stepping all the way, the hatchet in my hand was about to roll. It took more than half an hour to finally bypass the steep cliff behind the mountain. Instead of walking the plank road that was in disrepair, I chose to cross through the dense forest .

Qingtai Mountain is not high, and there is a large area of ​​dense forests on the side facing the sun. There are many people coming and going, and trails have been opened all year round.But in the shaded place, the vegetation is not considered lush, but it becomes more difficult to grow in the low knots.

Undergrowth.

After passing the back of the mountain, you can hear the stream flowing from a distance.

Chen Yu picked a direction with heavy humidity, thinking that there might be something to gain.

Don't look at him walking for a long time, in fact, this forest land is still on the outskirts, Qingtai Mountain falls on the side of Baiqi Mountain Range, the further west you go, the thicker and denser the forest.

Of course, there are a lot of medicinal herbs in the deep forest, which has supported many herb collectors, but at the same time, there are also insects and snakes, which have killed an unknown number of people.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Chen Yu reckoned that he had walked about a mile or two. During this period, the gurgling of the stream kept echoing in his ears. He never deviated from it, and walked along the stream.

On the way, I also saw a lot of common herbs such as scallion leaves and yellow heart fruit, but there were enough herbs for the experiment, so I didn't pick them.

He didn't forget the purpose of coming out this time.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, until the stream could no longer be heard, and he guessed that he might have reached the source, so he stopped and walked towards a certain place.

The forest is dense, and it is becoming more and more difficult to move forward. This is because Chen Yu has his own martial arts, otherwise, if it were someone else, he would probably still be spinning a few miles away.

There is no way to go that deep.

Looking around, he felt that he should have come to the bottom of Baiqi Mountain, some distance away from Qingtai.

Walking through the dense forest, avoiding some poisonous insects with far-superior eyesight-the dead branches and leaves are piled up under the feet, withered and yellow, and there are hunters with the same color coat among them.

Chen Yu avoided as much as he could, and he didn't pay attention to stepping on his foot, but he could also dodge the opponent's attack with his extremely fast reaction.

Then he was hacked to death with a hatchet.

For most Taoist priests in this world, keeping the law of killing is often only on some special occasions, not to mention that he is not a serious Taoist priest at all.

Naturally, be firm and ruthless!
Click!

Pulling aside the vegetation in front of him, a puddle of mud was revealed.

In the distance, two ponds filled with various rots lay in front, with scattered branches scattered on both sides.

Green Ping piled up.

Chen Yu moved forward for a further distance, and his vision was much wider again, but the two rows of trees not far from him were slightly taller, blocking the sunlight, and the current view was a bit gloomy.

A swamp hidden in the deep forest emerged.

I didn't go to try it myself, God knows what kind of beasts are inhabiting this place.

He turned back and searched along both sides of the pond.

Not far away, the overflowing pond water became clear under the filtration of earth, rocks, vegetation and merged into a trickle.

Chen Yu stamped his feet and looked at the crack in the stone not far away.A slender, flat thing with several pairs of whiskers was submerged in the water, motionless.

"This is...loach!"

His eyes lit up, he held his breath unconsciously, slowed down and moved closer to the other party quietly...
