River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 319

Gutan is in a deep depression in the mountain, and there is a very thick borneol camphor tree growing beside it.

Jian Sanlang is not young, but he is still a child at heart.

Leading Jiangling through a cut mountain road, through the tangled vines, tiptoeing ten steps at a time.

Pointed by him, Jiang Ling had already seen the location of the huge borneol camphor tree.

At this time, the night has come, but there is still some light.

In fact, this trip is mainly to fetch water. As for ginseng essence, it is something that cannot be found.It's good to be able to see it, but if you can't see it, there's nothing you can do about it.

The three Jian family brothers never expected to catch ginseng essence.

After all, it's a ghost,
Even ginseng essence is not easy for ordinary people to deal with.

The two touched the edge of the ancient pool all the way, and saw no special movement on the way.

Jian Sanlang swiftly took three water bags from his body, filled them up one by one, then took a few more with his hands, filled them up, and then greeted Jiang Ling before returning.

Jiangling also drank a little water. This pool is only about the size of a bathtub, but it is about ten feet deep.

The water in it is indeed sweet and cold, drinking it at night, one sip will feel chilly in your stomach.

Jian Sanlang said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, if you stay in the mountains for a short time, then you should not drink too much of this water. The three of us brothers are used to it, so it's okay. The water is so cold that some people can't bear it if we drink too much. , is not good for the stomach."

There is an old saying that one side of the water and soil nourishes the other side. When you first come to a strange place, you should avoid drinking too much wild water.

Jiang Ling: "Go back now?"

Jian Sanlang: "It's a pity that I didn't see that white and fat ginseng doll. But it's getting late, it's really not good to stay here for a long time."

Jiang Ling nodded, and turned back the way he came.

Only halfway through, there was a sudden movement in the mountain forest, and there were birds chirping around.

Listen carefully, the bird call is not a bird call, but like a bird but not a bird.

Jian Sanlang heard it familiarly, he hastily tugged on Jiang Ling's sleeve, motioning him to squat down.

Jiang Ling hid in the grass with him.

not yet,

A white figure was wandering in the forest, bouncing and walking towards this side.

Jian Sanlang was extremely excited,
Yesterday they were the third brother, just watching from a distance, not sure yet.So I just guessed that I saw ginseng essence.

But today, he and Jiang Ling hid halfway, they got closer, and finally saw the real thing.

Between the vines and among the thorns, a white and fat baby is really jumping forward, walking towards the pool.

The baby was wearing a straw bellyband, with a bun on his head, and he was very happy along the way.

Jian Sanlang hastily put down the three water bags in his hands, and touched them quietly, wanting to follow.

Jiang Ling pointed to his bow and arrow, beckoning to him, wouldn't it be enough to shoot an arrow?
But Jian Sanlang quickly waved his hand, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "It's useless. Against ginseng essence, swords, guns, swords and axes are useless. It heals itself very well, and it won't fall to the ground like a human being. Once it is hit The arrow will just disappear without a trace, and will never come here again.

The only way to deal with it is to use a rope to entangle the little handle on the top of its head. Once it is entangled, hehe, it will not be able to escape. "

When Jiang Ling heard this, he suddenly remembered the story of the ginseng doll in later generations.

What Jian Sanlang said was similar to what was said in the story.

It's all about grabbing its pigtails so it can't run away.

But Jian Sanlang only took a few steps sneakily, when he stepped on a dry branch and made a sound of breaking.

The chubby baby heard the movement, glanced back, was so frightened that he threw his head into the ground and disappeared.

Jian Sanlang pinched his thigh angrily in remorse, secretly blaming himself for being too careless.

Crouching on the spot for a while, the baby never appeared again.

Forgive it because it is too timid, if it is frightened, it will not reappear.

"Pity."

Jian Sanlang could only shake his head.

Jiang Ling smiled: "It can escape from the earth, even if you can touch it a little closer, you may not be able to catch it."

Jian Sanlang said: "Brother Jiang doesn't know something. The old man in the village said that once ginseng essence goes to drink water, as long as it touches the water, it will be motionless for a short time. If I really touched it quietly just now, I would take advantage of it drinking water." When the time comes, you will definitely be able to catch it."

Jiang Ling: "So that's how it is."

Jian Sanlang: "No, it probably saw me. It's over. In the future, it probably won't appear here."

Regretted, he had no choice but to go back the same way.

Back at the camp on the mountain, Jian Sanlang handed the water bag to the two elder brothers, and then talked about what he had just seen.

Jian Dalang and Jian Erlang also felt sorry, but they didn't regret it too much.

They are also very clear that that thing is really not so easy to catch.When going out, keeping yourself safe is the top priority.

Silent all night.

The next day, it was just dawn.

The three brothers got up from under the thatched shed, ready to go back.

They called Jiang Ling to go down the mountain with them. Since Jiang Ling knew that their village was opposite to Mingyang City, he didn't intend to go with them.

I stayed last night just to see what ginseng essence looks like.

He found an excuse and said: "At dawn, I suddenly realized that I should have come in that direction yesterday. I remembered that rock, so it must be right."

The three brothers of the Jian family looked in the direction, and Jian Dalang asked, "Brother Jiang, is he from Gutong County?"

Jiang Ling didn't know where Gutong County was, so he said, "To be honest, I'm from Mingyang Prefecture."

Jian Dalang was startled and said, "Mingyang Prefecture? That's more than 900 miles away from here, but if you go back, brother Jiang, you're going in the right direction."

Since Jiang Ling wanted to leave on his own, the three brothers parted ways on the mountain without saying anything.

Jiangling walked for a while, and saw a mountain full of ashes.

Judging from the situation, it should have been caught in a fire not long ago, and it burned for several miles, and it was all black.

At this moment, Dongfang Haori gradually rises, scorching hot.

Looking at the dry, cracked and yellowish-white soil on this mountain, it seems that this area has not rained for a long time.

Calculating the time, Jiang Ling stayed in Dizangtian for nearly three months.I don't know if the time in Dizangtian and the human world are synchronized. If they are synchronized, then it should be the July of Ruohuo.

In the mountains, the evenings are cool, and there is no sense of season.But during the day, the seasons are quite clear.

In the ashes that were all over the mountain, there was a place suddenly, and there was a deer cry.

Jiang Ling followed the sound, and saw a young elk fell into a pit, entangled by many roots.

It has probably been falling for some time, and the elk looks very weak.

The roots wrapped around its body are strange to say, when Jiang Ling stretched out his head to look at it, those roots retreated as soon as they said, shrunk completely, and disappeared from the soil.

The elk broke free, struggled to stand up, and looked up, but no matter what, it couldn't crawl out again.

Jiang Ling took a closer look, then smiled slightly and said, "So you are here!"
