Advising the villains to be kind every day

Chapter 71 Bloodleaf Fern
The army marched to the edge of the foggy mountain, only to see that the fog in the mountain was thicker than before, and it was impossible to see what was in the forest and where the road led.

Because of the lessons learned by Yan Cheng and others, the army hesitated to move forward.

Han Wei said: "Your Majesty, the foggy mountains are extremely dangerous, so let me explore the way first."

Pang Ao also said: "What General Han said is very true, so the last general will go first."

Rong Li said: "Just in case, it's better for His Highness to sit in the rear."

Han Wei and Pang Ao nodded in agreement.

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes to look at the endless mountains covered in thick fog, and said, "Since this king has decided to enter the foggy mountains, he will not back down no matter what. The two generals have heavy responsibilities and should not move lightly. All the soldiers are also flesh and blood." The body, now this king is the same as you, there is no difference in status."

Everyone advises.

At this time, Mu Qiulan caught a glimpse of several purple plants growing on the side of the road. She hurriedly dismounted, squatted down to identify them carefully, and then got up and said:

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Everyone fell silent and looked at her.

Mu Qiulan picked a purple plant and said: "This thing is called Zining, and it is a very rare and precious herb. As far as I know, this herb has strict requirements for its growth environment, and it will only grow in the On the top of the mountain and on the edge of the cliff filled with fresh air, very few people can pick it, so many people have never known it."

Pang Ao said: "Girl, we all know that there must be many rare medicinal materials in the Wushan Mountains, which is not unusual."

"What General Pang said is true." Mu Qiulan said: "But Zining is different from other herbs. The reason why it grows on the top of the mountain is that it is afraid of the pollution of turbid air, so it is not seen in the mountain forests where herbs usually grow. But right now it is growing by the side of the road at the foot of the foggy mountain."

"It means that clean energy gathers here!" Xiao Jingchen took her words and said, "So, the fog in this mountain is not a poisonous miasma, on the contrary, this is a rare pure land."

Mu Qiulan nodded: "My lord is right!"

"So it is!" Everyone suddenly realized.

Pang Ao excitedly said: "Then what are we waiting for? The generals and a certain go to get the head of the Namotu dog thief to pay homage to the dead soldiers!"

Han Wei said: "General Pang, don't be careless! The rare medicinal herbs growing in this forest does not mean that the miasma is non-toxic, and the red mist..."

"When did General Han become so timid?" Pang Ao said disdainfully, "A good man bravely travels everywhere and is not afraid of life and death."

"General Pang is not afraid of life and death. Do you want all the soldiers to be buried with you? I am just thinking about the safety of the prince and the foundation of Dayan."

"Okay! Don't say any more!" Xiao Jingchen looked at Mu Qiulan, he believed her!
"This king said, no matter whether there is a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire in front of you, you have to go through it!"

He turned around and shouted: "All officers and soldiers are willing to take this trip with this king, regardless of life or death!"

Everyone shouted: "Wish to live and die with His Highness!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Jingchen ordered Han Wei and Pang Ao to lead some soldiers and horses to march from the west mountain and the east mountain respectively. The army marched into the Wushan mountain in three ways, digging three feet, and vowed to find out the Nanyi lair.

……

As soon as he entered the mountain, Mu Qiulan was attracted by the herbs in the forest.Those precious medicinal herbs that she had only seen drawings in medical books are now growing vigorously in front of her eyes. There is a kind of medicinal herb that takes almost 100 years to grow before blooming, so even the medical books do not record what kind of flowers it blooms, but She actually saw it here, it was a brilliant blue color, which made her very excited.

"This fog is really not poisonous!" Everyone was shocked by the scene in the forest.

"Your Highness..." Rong Li said, "I think this place is a bit weird."

Xiao Jingchen said: "There are no living things in the forest!"

"That's right!" Rong Li looked at Mu Qiulan, "What does Miss Mu think?"

"Ah?" Mu Qiulan was still thinking about the rare herbs in the forest, "Mr. Rong, what's wrong?"

"There are no birds, beasts or insects in this forest. Doesn't Ms. Mu find it strange?"

It was only then that Mu Qiulan realized that the forest was indeed too quiet. If even Zi Ning could grow in such a place, it meant that the air here was very clean, and there should be many birds, beasts, fish and insects thriving.

"I... I don't know why."

"Anyway, it's better to be careful!" Rong Li reminded.

Soon, the army also reached the red mist area.

"It's really bizarre!" Rong Li looked at the front and said, "There is really a red fog in the world."

Xiao Jingchen ordered the army to stop advancing and prepared to take a detour.

What he didn't notice was that Mu Qiulan had already dismounted and walked into the red mist!

"Stop!" Xiao Jingchen yelled, "Mu Qiulan, stop for me!"

He hurriedly dismounted and chased after him.

Rong Li was startled, and quickly followed: "My lord, be careful."

Mu Qiulan was attracted by the misty red mist, and raised her hand to touch it lightly. The red mist seemed to be alive and attached to her hand, leaving behind dots of red particles, like pollen.

"You don't want to die!" Xiao Jingchen pulled her back.

"Look, my lord." She raised her hand, "This is not a red mist, but red pollen like this attached to the mist."

Xiao Jingchen took her hand and saw that there was indeed some red powder on it, which was very eye-catching because of Mu Qiulan's fair skin.

"You dare to touch anything?" He hurriedly wiped it clean for her.

At this time Rong Li also arrived, cleared his throat and said: "It seems that this red mist is not a highly poisonous thing, but why is there so much pollen here?"

Mu Qiulan said: "If my guess is correct, I should be able to find the answer by going forward."

The three continued to move forward, Xiao Jingchen pulled Mu Qiulan behind him, and said coldly, "Stay well, don't touch around."

Rong Li: "..."

He probably shouldn't have followed.

The three of them walked quickly to the valley covered with red ferns.

"It's the blood fern!" Mu Qiulan exclaimed.

Rong Li asked, "Miss Mu, what is this?"

Mu Qiulan said: "This is a kind of fern with red leaves, which is rarely known. I also saw it in an ancient medical book. According to records, there are red sporangia on the back of the leaves, and the spores mature. When the fern is wet, it will be attached to the moist mist, sow the seeds, and when the mist clears, it will take root, so as long as there is a blood leaf fern, it will grow into a piece after a few years. This kind of plant has a strong reproductive ability. It will also absorb nutrients from the surrounding trees, and over time, the surrounding plants will die. What's more frightening is that it will emit a unique smell, which can disperse dozens of miles to disperse birds and beasts. There are no living things in this foggy mountain , probably for this reason.”

"Smell?" Rong Li sniffed, "But I didn't ask about the smell either!"

Mu Qiulan said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, how can we humans compare with those birds and beasts? Their sense of smell is more sensitive than ours. Just like dogs, they can smell things that we can't smell. But the smell of blood fern Although it can disperse birds and beasts, it has no effect on people, at most it will take its spores to other places to take root and germinate.”
