1034、Lian Clan
How could a normal person not continue to ask questions when he sees such a big box?
Let’s not mention anything else. The material of this box alone is extraordinary. If a normal person sees it, he will definitely think that it contains extremely valuable things.
But these herb collectors seem to be very simple and have no questions asked.
The bonfire was burning in the open space, and the herbicide customers went to pick up firewood separately. However, it was not easy to find dry firewood in this dense forest. Basically, they found pine trees and then split the branches off, using pine oil to help burn.
There was a crackling sound in the bonfire, and a man smiled and said to Li Shentan and Xiaoliren: "I'll find some seasonings, and we'll bake something later."
Li Shentan responded with a smile: "Is there any ready-made seasonings in this mountain?"
"You barriers don't look like you don't get into the mountains," the man smiled heartily, "Do you want in this mountain? You really want peppers, star anise peppers, you can find anything. And some fruit pulp is applied to the food, which is especially sweet and delicious. I'll find them for you to try."
"Okay, thank you brother," said Li Shentan.
A herbal collector took advantage of the time and asked casually: "By the way, why are you here for coming here?"
"We heard that typhoons in the south look particularly spectacular, and occasionally you can see sea water being sucked into the sky by tornadoes. It is said that this scene is called a dragon sucking water," Li Shentan smiled.
The herb collectors by the bonfire were stunned for a moment, and everyone looked at each other, thinking that this was the first time I heard that someone was going to watch a typhoon.
At this time, Li Shentan asked back, "By the way, when you saw us just now, you said that you accidentally entered the territory. Why, are there anyone living here?"
The herb collector smiled and said, "We have also heard from other old herb collectors that they call this radius of more than 200 miles Xiuzhuzhou. It has many water systems, but there are many miasma areas, and occasionally there are swamps, so the herb collectors don't come often. We also suddenly offer a price to buy 11 herbs from the barrier, but there are not other places. Only Xiuzhuzhou has it, but we came here."
Li Shentan discovered that in the past two hundred years after the disaster, herb collectors should have become a very mature industry, and it seems that they have inherited it.
But I heard the herb collector continue, "The herb collector said before that there are actually people living in Xiuzhuzhou. The other party has some mysterious means to live in this mountainous land. According to what they said, these people can inhale miasma without any trouble, and can also control poisonous insects, snakes and ants to practice Gu."
"How did this old herb collector know?" Li Shentan said curiously.
A herb collector next to him said, "I say this is the most appropriate thing. After all, this story came from my grandfather at that time. He said that once a noble man had to treat his illness, he needed a medicinal material to go to Xiuzhuzhou to find it. But at that time, no one dared to enter here, so the noble man offered a reward for two gold bars, which was why two herb collectors were willing to enter the mountain."
"The herb collector has been in Xiuzhuzhou for half a year. Everyone thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he came back alive, and he was the only one who came back."
"According to his words, the herb collector who entered the mountain with him died of miasma halfway, and he was rescued by a group of people named Lian tribe, and he was cultivated in the tribe of Lian tribe for half a year."
"The Lian clan is a bit strange. It is actually women who are respected and have a lot of magical features. It is only in recent years that we in the Central Plains have heard that there are extraordinary people, but my grandfather's generation said that everyone in the Lian clan can practice Gu and can practice corpses! Moreover, there are also copper corpses, silver corpses, and iron corpses in this corpse training."
Li Shentan raised his eyebrows: "It's so terrifying, how could the herbicide collector come back alive? He should have been trained to corpse."
"You don't know this," said the herb collector, "The senior who came back said that although the Lian tribe sounded terrifying, the girls inside were all beautiful and charming. Moreover, they trained corpses just to prevent foreign enemies and did not hurt people. So the senior once told us that if we really enter Xiuzhuzhou one day, we don't have to panic when we meet the Lian tribe. Just tell them that they have no intention of offending, and the other party will not hurt people. And if they are destined to be a fate, the other party may even be warmly entertained. It is said that they are very hospitable."
The herb collector winked, and this warm hospitality was probably a bit mysterious.
"So that's it," Li Shentan always felt that this statement was a bit mysterious. How could Xiuzhuzhou, where the Lian tribe survived, sound like a paradise?
However, if what the other party said was true, then this Xiu Zhuzhou is quite interesting. Li Shentan wanted to go and take a look.
If there weren't many customers here to collect herbs, he would have wanted to shout at the forest if there was a girl from the Lian clan coming out to see her.
However, Li Shentan had doubts about this. He thought that those who can practice corpses and gu should be quite cruel...
The senior who collected herbs should not have told the truth.
Since we are going to practice corpses, where does the corpse come from? Could someone give the senior of the herb collector good advice and deliberately ask him to describe the Lian clan very well, making everyone want to go to this paradise, and then the Lian clan members can trick some corpses back and practice something?
Li Shentan suddenly felt that he was so smart. This explanation seemed very reasonable, right?
A herb collector sighed: "Now that the Central Plains is in war, many people have heard this story and want to seek refuge in the Pure Land in Xiuzhuzhou. This time we are not only here to collect herbs, but also want to try our luck."
Li Shentan was stunned for a moment: "War? War?"
The herb collectors smiled and said, "How long have you been lost in the mountains? Why don't you even know this? The fire and Kong family in the north have been almost completely annexed by the Wang family. According to everyone's estimate, it will be only this month for the complete annexation. Then the Zhou family was furious again by the young marshal in the northwest. Now the Zhou family is in constant civil strife. Seeing that Wang family has finished cleaning up the fire and Kong family, they are about to come to deal with the Zhou family."
Li Shentan whispered to Si Liren: "It's bad, I missed such a wonderful thing!"
While speaking, Li Shentan's expression appeared with annoyed expression. In his opinion, how could he miss Ren Xiaosu's big trouble for Zhou's family!
If you make a fuss together again, it means you have not missed it. This logic is very smooth!
Li Shentan said: "Or why don't we stop watching the typhoon? Go to the northwest to find Ren Xiaosu, and then we go to Zhou's trouble again..."
Xiao Liren looked at Li Shentan silently: "...Are you serious?"
While whispering, the herb collector who went out to find seasonings came back. The other party held a few brightly colored small fruits in his hand, then applied them to the roasted meat and handed them to Li Shentan and Si Liren: "Try it, it's so delicious."
Li Shentan did not take the barbecue, but smiled and didn't know where to take out a silver coin. The woman on the silver coin looked very gentle and beautiful.
He said to the herb collectors: "Thank you for your hospitality, why don't I turn it into a magic trick to thank you all."
As he said that, he bounced the silver coin high with his thumb. When the silver coin turned, it made an extremely clear and pleasant sound.
Li Shentan looked at the herb collectors and smiled, "Now I ask, you answer, what will happen if you eat this fruit?"
"You will vomit and foam in your mouth and die suddenly," the picker replied dumbly.
"Why give me this?" Li Shentan asked.
"Because you two must have wealth on them, and there must be treasures in the box," replied the herbicide: "You should be extraordinary people, but even if the extraordinary people eat this fruit, they will definitely die."
Li Shentan understood that the other party guessed the identity of the extraordinary person of him and Si Liren, but the other party was very brave. He actually relied on his mastery of pharmacology that even the extraordinary person dared to plot against.
He felt a little regretful. He just said that he would not hypnotize these people, but he actually hypnotized them.
However, Li Shentan thinks these are not good people, so it is not considered a violation of his agreement with Ren Xiaosu! Perfect!
But at this moment, Li Shentan suddenly looked at the dark woods behind him, and a human face hung upside down under the canopy in the distance, looking extremely terrifying.
