One Thousand and Thirty Four, the Lian Family

When a normal person sees such a big box, how can he not keep asking?

Leaving other things aside, the material of this box alone is extraordinary. If a normal person sees it, they will definitely feel that it contains extremely valuable things.

But these herbal pickers seemed very simple and didn't ask any questions.

A bonfire was lit in the open space, and the herb pickers went to collect firewood, but it was not easy to find dry firewood in this dense forest. Basically, they found pine trees and chopped off the branches, using pine oil to support the combustion.

There was crackling in the bonfire, a man smiled and said to Li Shentan and Xiao Liren, "I'll go find some condiments, let's bake something later."

Li Shentan responded with a smile: "Is there any ready-made condiment in this mountain?"

"You barrier people don't go into the mountains very much," the man said with a hearty smile, "Is there anything you want in the mountains? If you really want to look for it, you can find anything. And some fruit juices are spread on food. Come on, especially sweet and delicious, I will find it for you to taste."

"Okay, thank you, big brother," Li Shentan said.

Taking advantage of the gap, a herb picker casually asked, "By the way, what are you doing here?"

"We heard that the typhoon in the south looks very spectacular, and occasionally you can see sea water being sucked into the sky by a tornado. It is said that this scene is called a dragon sucking water," Li Shentan said with a smile.

The herb pickers by the bonfire froze for a moment, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that this was the first time they 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, is there anyone still living here?"

The herb picker smiled and said: "We also heard from other old herb pickers that they called this area of ​​more than two hundred miles Xiuzhuzhou. There are many water systems, but there are also many miasma areas, and occasionally there are swamps. Pharmacists don’t come here very often. We also came here because of the sudden offer from the barrier to buy 11 herbal medicines, which are not available in other places and only in Xiuzhu Prefecture.”

Li Shentan discovered that in the two hundred years after the catastrophe, herb picking should have become a very mature industry, and it seems that there is still a inheritance.

However, the herb picker continued: "Some herb pickers said before that there are actually people living in Xiuzhu Prefecture, and the other party has some mysterious means to live in this mountain. According to what they said, these people can inhale There is nothing wrong with the miasma, and it can also control poisonous insects, snakes and ants to practice Gu."

"How did this old medicine picker know?" Li Shentan asked curiously.

A herb picker next to him said: "This is the most suitable thing for me. After all, this story was passed down from my grandfather. He said that once in the barrier, there was a nobleman who needed medicinal materials to heal a disease. He had to enter Xiuzhu It is only possible to search for it in the state. But at that time, no one dared to enter here, so the nobleman offered a reward for the price of two gold bars, and only two herbal pickers were willing to enter the mountain."

"The herbal picker has been in Xiuzhuzhou for half a year. Everyone thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he came back alive. He was the only one who came back."

"According to what he said, the herbal picker who went into the mountain with him died of miasma on the way, and he was rescued by a group of people named Lian Clan, and he spent half a year cultivating in that Lian Clan's tribe. .”

"The Lian clan is a bit strange. They actually respect women, and they are quite magical. We in the Central Plains have only heard of extraordinary people in recent years, but my grandfather said that the female people of the Lian clan Everyone can practice Gu, and they can also practice corpses! Moreover, there are copper corpses, silver corpses, and iron corpses among the corpses trained."

Li Shentan raised his eyebrows: "It's so terrifying, how could the herbal picker come back alive? He should have been trained for corpse training."

"You don't know something about that," the herb picker said with a smile: "The senior who came back said that although the Lian tribe sounds scary, the girls inside are all pretty and lovely, and they practice corpses just to prevent foreign enemies. , it doesn’t hurt people. That’s why the senior told us that if we really enter Xiuzhuzhou one day, we don’t have to panic when we meet people from the Lian clan.

Just tell them no offense was intended and they won't hurt. And if there is a destiny, the other party may also treat them warmly. It is said that they are very hospitable. "

The herb picker winked, the warm hospitality was probably a bit of a mystery.

"So that's how it is," Li Shentan always felt that there was something absurd in this statement, how come Xiuzhuzhou, where the Lian people live, sounds like a paradise.

However, if what the other party said is true, then this Zhuzhou Xiuzhou is quite interesting, and Li Shentan wants to take a look.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people picking herbs here, he would have yelled to the woods if there was any girl from the Lian clan who came out to see her.

However, Li Shentan was skeptical about this. He felt that people who could practice corpses and Gu should be quite ruthless...

The senior of the herb picker probably didn't tell the truth.

Since the corpse is going to be practiced, where does the corpse come from? Could it be that someone gave that senior herb picker a favor, deliberately asked him to describe the Lian clan well, so that everyone wanted to go to this paradise, and then the Lian clan people could trick some corpses back to practice or something?

Li Shentan suddenly felt that he was very witty. This explanation seems very reasonable, right? !

A herb collector said with emotion: "Nowadays the Central Plains is in chaos, many people heard this story and want to seek refuge in the pure land in Xiuzhu Prefecture. We are not only here to collect herbs this time, but also want to try our luck."

Li Shentan froze for a moment: "Zhan Luan? A war?"

The herb pickers laughed and said, "How long have you been lost in the mountains? Why don't you even know about this? The Tinder and the Kong family in the north have almost been annexed by the Wang family. According to everyone's estimation, it may take only this month for them to be completely annexed." Then the Zhou family was made a big fuss by the young commander in the northwest, and now the Zhou family is in internal turmoil, seeing that the Wang family has finished cleaning up the fire and the Kong family, it is about to clean up the Zhou family."

Li Shentan whispered to Si Liren: "It's broken, I missed such a wonderful thing!"

While speaking, Li Shentan showed an annoyed look. In his opinion, how could he miss Ren Xiaosu's trouble with the Zhou family!

Let's make trouble together again, which means you won't miss it. This logic is very smooth!

Li Shentan said: "Why don't we stop watching the typhoon and go to the northwest to find Ren Xiaosu, and then we'll go to Zhou's to make trouble again..."

Xiao Liren looked at Li Shentan silently: "...Are you serious?"

Whispering, the herb picker who went out to look for condiments came back, holding a few brightly colored small fruits in his hand, and then spread them on the roasted meat and handed them to Li Shentan and Si Liren: " Try it, it's delicious."

Li Shentan didn't pick up the barbecue, but smiled and took out a silver coin out of nowhere. The woman on the silver coin looked very gentle and beautiful.

He said to the herb pickers: "Thank you for your hospitality, why don't I perform a magic trick to thank you all."

As he spoke, he flicked the silver coin high with his thumb, and when the silver coin turned, it made an extremely pleasant sound.

Li Shentan looked at the herb pickers and said with a smile: "Now I ask, you answer, what will happen if you eat this fruit?"

"I would vomit, foam at the mouth and die suddenly," the herbal picker replied dully.

"Why give me this?" Li Shentan asked.

"Because the two of you must have belongings, and there must be treasures in the box," the medicine picker replied, "You should be extraordinary, but even if an extraordinary eats this fruit, you will surely die."

Li Shentan understood that the other party had guessed his and Si Liren's identities as extraordinary beings, but the other party was very courageous, relying on his proficiency in pharmacology, even the extraordinary men dared to plot against them.

He felt that it was a pity that he just said that he would not hypnotize these people, but he still hypnotized them.

However, Li Shentan felt that these were not good people, so it was not a violation of his agreement with Ren Xiaosu! Perfect!

But at this moment, Li Shentan suddenly looked at the dark forest behind him, and a human face was hanging upside down under the canopy in the distance, looking extremely terrifying.

Li Shentan only blinked an eye, and the convenience disappeared again.
