Chapter 879 Going up the mountain to collect herbs
Chapter 879: Going up the mountain to collect herbs As summer was approaching, Si Nian carried a small bamboo basket with a hoe, a small shovel, and a hemp rope inside. At the turn of spring and summer, the herbs in the mountains were the most lush. Most of the livelihood of the year depended on this period, so there was no room for laziness.
There are many wild animals, insects and snakes. If you don't know how to do it, it's really hard to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Before dawn that day, the two locked the wooden house, each with a bamboo basket, and went up the mountain to collect herbs. It was pitch black, and as they walked along the mountain road, they heard a rustling noise. They thought that the snakes, rats, insects and animals heard the noise and slowly fled and hid.
Summer is hot, but it is very cool in the early morning. The steam hits my face, so I have to wear a coat. But once the sun rises, even if the vegetation is dense, it is difficult to block the heat. The coat becomes a burden and is inconvenient to hold. Putting it in the bamboo basket takes up too much space. I am very reluctant to throw it away.
These are all from Si Nian's experience. The reason why Si Nian makes a living by collecting herbs is not only due to her personality, but also related to her talent. She has always been very sensitive to plants and trees. Magical herbs, wonderful herbs, and exotic flowers... are often very close to her. Whenever she goes out to the mountains for a walk, it is difficult not to gain anything.
Back then in the Panlong Sect, Li Changxiao was extremely envious of the initial foundation of his cultivation, so he asked Sinian to convince him and secretly ate a lot of herbs, so that although his cultivation was shallow, his foundation was very solid.
Panlong Sect is located in the green mountains. The terrain here is somewhat similar to Panlong Sect. Whenever Si Nian finds a herb, he bends down to pick it. There is a lot of skills in picking herbs. Some herbs need to be left with roots, while some herbs need to be pulled out completely. Some herbs are hidden in the cracks of rocks, and some exotic flowers grow in dark and humid places.
Going up the mountain to collect herbs requires climbing mountains and wading through water, which is really a hard job. But Si Nian is very familiar with the mountain conditions and has light legs and feet, so he picked herbs easily and didn't feel tired at all.
Li Changxiao, needless to say, has been involved in mountains and fields for many years. Even if it is a swamp of thousands of miles, he has stepped over it step by step. A small mountain and field, not worth mentioning. Li Changxiao's identification of fairy grass and fairy flowers is not inferior to anyone. He has read 50% to 60% of the classics of various sects. But for ordinary flowers and grasses... he is slightly worse than Si Nian, after all, he is not as good as Si Nian who was born with a different body. Li Changxiao sighed greatly, saying that there is really no end to the miscellaneous knowledge in the world. He is already a combined cultivator, but when dealing with the world, if he always thinks about the identity of "combined cultivator", he will inevitably judge people by their cultivation, and it will be difficult to maintain the mentality of an apprentice.
I also thought that the truth of the world is not static. The knowledge we have now will be different in a hundred years. Knowledge is always changing. If we don't learn for a moment, we will really become an "old guy" and fall far behind the world.
Before he knew it, the sky had brightened again. In the early morning, the mountains were misty and still cool. But the sun was shining directly, and within half an hour, the heat gradually rose and became unbearable. Soon, Si Nian's vest was covered with sweat.
She tucked her hair in front of her forehead, and beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. Li Changxiao took a step forward, stepped over a boulder half a person's height, and reached out to pull her. Si Nian was stunned for a moment, then she was delighted and reached out to grab him. The two of them exerted force at the same time and also stepped over the boulder.
It was noon. The weather was too hot and humid, and the two of them had half of their backpacks filled. Today, they were lucky and found four very precious herbs. There were small Phoenix ginseng, purple shell dendrobium, and rock moss. These three herbs nourish yin and strengthen yang, nourish the skin and prolong life. Especially the small Phoenix ginseng, which is very old and can be auctioned. But Si Nian disliked trouble, and it made no difference to her whether there was more or less money. So she didn't plan to auction it, but just wanted to ask the owner of the medicine shop for more money for collecting herbs.
Today's harvest is indeed rich. But the two of them not only collect herbs, but also enjoy the mountains and rivers. The herb collector and the herb collector. They were in a trance and returned to the past.
It was hot at noon, and Li Changxiao found a summer resort. There was a stream flowing under a big banyan tree. The shade of the tree, playing in the water... the scenery was beautiful and the temperature was pleasant. The two of them rested under the banyan tree. Si Nian took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet into the stream to soak. His feet were white and delicate, more lovely than the fish in the stream.
Three miles above the stream, there is a deep pool, the water is green and black, and it is probably more than a hundred feet deep. Li Changxiao has a quirk. In addition to tinkering with food, he likes to explore deep places. Whenever he sees the mysterious pool, he always wants to dive into the bottom of the pool to find out what's going on.
It is actually related to past experiences. In the past, spiritual energy was flourishing and opportunities were everywhere. As soon as Li Changxiao saw a cliff or an abyss, he felt that there was a great opportunity hidden. This is indeed the case. In the past, there were many monks' tombs and many powerful inheritances. There were indeed a lot of resources and opportunities hidden in these secret and unique places.
It was also from that time that Li Changxiao developed the habit of "exploring the unknown". At this moment, he saw a deep pool with green and black water, which must be very deep, so he decided to find out what it was, so he jumped in. With a splash, he dived down.
The water in this pool is extremely cold. If you dive three meters deep, you can still see many fish playing around. If you go deeper, you can see many deep-water poisonous snakes. There are poisonous pythons as thick as arms and mottled in color, and there are thin snakes as thick as fingers that want to get into people's nine orifices.
Li Chang laughed secretly, this deep pool is not a good place to go, only he has the leisure and elegance to come down to take a look. But he saw something strange in the pool, and became more curious, so he continued to dive. When he dived more than ten feet, it was already dark everywhere. A layer of white jade frost formed on the walls of the pool. In the past, cultivators loved to practice in such strange places. Immortal cultivators, in the final analysis, are to comprehend the world.
The effects of cultivation vary in different places. There may be some inexplicable and incomprehensible improvements. There was once a cultivator in Panlong Sect with mediocre talent. By accident, he cultivated in a cave for three days. After that, he became three points stronger than the strong men in the same realm. His talent, physique, and magic... all did not change, but he just became stronger.
The world of Fuyao is full of mysteries and wonders. Li Changxiao dived again and finally reached the bottom of the pool. He was delighted to see a turquoise poisonous scorpion. He was very happy for a moment. This poisonous scorpion was not a relic from the era of cultivating immortals, but an ordinary wild beast that turned into a wild monster by chance.
Discovering such a strange beast is even more rare than seeing a monk’s treasure or tomb.
