camouflage salted fish

"Frostweed?"

The sun was warming this afternoon, and Song Yifan's injury had already healed. He couldn't bear to get out of bed to take care of the medicine garden in the backyard. , what do you want it for?"

Shen Budu: "Open up the tendons."

Although he still has no intention of making a comeback, after experiencing the incident of the Mad Wolf Gang a few days ago, Shen Budu suddenly couldn't continue to be a salted fish with peace of mind.

One is that Zhenshanzong has kindness to him, and he cannot stand indifferently and watch them fall into trouble.In addition, although Shen Budu is not as contemptuous of the weak as many strong people are, after all, he has been at the top for so many years, and he has assumed the role of protector most of the time, so he really can't bear the "powerless" words. The word appeared on himself.

What is it like to let a few half-grown children stand in front of him to protect him?

He must recover part of his cultivation as soon as possible.

"Open the tendons?" Song Yifan was overjoyed after being surprised, "Do you have a way to open the tendons?"

Shen Budu smiled and said: "Not bad."

There is a kind of elixir called Xisui Dan, which has the effect of reshaping tendons and veins, allowing people with congenital deficiencies to embark on the road of cultivation.Although this kind of elixir is precious, it is not very rare in the upper spirit world. Tianya Canghaimen will even use the marrow washing pill as a task reward to help disciples wash their tendons and cut their marrow, and improve their aptitude.

The elixir that can be completely ignored by Shen Budu is not easy to get in Beihuang now.Even if there is a place to sell it, he doesn't have the money to buy it, so it's better to make one by himself to save trouble.The formula of Xisui Dan requires thirteen kinds of herbs, twelve of which are relatively common, and only Jiangshuangcao is rare.

Song Yifan thought for a moment and then said: "I don't have frostgrass here, but there are many wild herbs growing in the mountains to the east of Yeyun Mountain, maybe there will be there."

He was more concerned about this matter than himself, and immediately called everyone in the sect except Uncle Zhong, explained the situation, described the appearance of Frostgrass to everyone, and asked them to split up and help find Frostgrass.Yeyun Mountain is so big, Shen Budu didn't know how to find the Year of the Monkey with such a fragile body, so he didn't show politeness to everyone, but just kept this feeling in his heart.

"Three Treasures are going too?" Shen Budu couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw that even Ruan Ruan was carrying a small pannier on his back, looking like he was gearing up and ready to go.

"Don't underestimate him." Song Yifan said with a smile, and winked at him, "Let Sanbao go with you, maybe there will be surprises."

Shen Budu glanced at him thoughtfully, held Ruan Ruan's little hand, and entered the mountain range in the east of Yeyun Mountain separately with the others.

This piece of mountain is uninhabited, and because no one takes care of it all year round, all kinds of vegetation and flowers grow almost half the height of a person.Seeing that Ruan Ruan was almost buried by the leaves of grass, Shen Budu reached out and took off his pannier to carry him, and picked him up with the other hand.

Ruan Ruan was so happy that she was lazy and didn't walk, she stayed in his arms with a smile, her little head turned around, and she stretched out her short fingers to point in one direction: "Dudu, let's go over there and have a look."

I don't know why, this little guy doesn't like to call him brother, but likes to call him "Dudu". Shen Budu corrected him a few times but couldn't correct it, so he simply let him go.

He didn't find the Frostgrass in this area just now, so he simply followed Ruan Ruan's words and walked in the direction he pointed.

Ruan Ruan shook his head and continued to command: "Dudu, go a little further."

Shen Budu walked forward obediently.

Ruan Ruan was full of air: "Well... go to the right again!"

Shen Budu turned to the right.

Ruan Ruan made persistent efforts: "Go ahead!"

Shen Budu went forward.

Then, with his feet empty, he hugged Ruan Ruan and fell into a pit.

Shen Budu: "..."

Song Yifan, is this the "surprise" you mentioned earlier? ?

Although he had no cultivation base, his reaction speed was still there. Shen Budu threw away the pannier at the moment of falling, and held Ruan Ruan firmly in his arms with both arms.Fortunately, the pit was not very deep, the two of them just fell and were not injured, Shen Budu was relieved, and at the same time he was a little dumbfounded.

Earlier, he noticed that Ruan Ruan's identity was different, and he saw that Song Yifan had been playing tricks all the time, so he really thought that this child had some special ability, so he followed his words and found it here. Who would have thought that he would be taken directly into the ditch .

Patting the dirt on the corner of his clothes, he stood up, thinking about how to climb up, but Ruan Ruan stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered, "Look, Dudu, there seems to be something over there."

Shen Budu raised his eyes and looked slightly surprised.

Not far ahead, there was a person lying down.

He put Ruan Ruan down, motioned him to stand still, walked up to look, and found a comatose strange boy on the ground, his clothes were torn, his body was covered with small wounds, and there was an overturned back basket in front of him , all kinds of herbs were scattered all over the ground, among which a tuft of grass was particularly conspicuous, faintly exuding silver frost-colored light in the dimness.

It is Frostgrass.

Shen Budu: "..."

He looked back at Ruan Ruan with a strange expression, but Ruan Ruan mistakenly thought that he was calling him, and immediately ran over with short legs, seeing the comatose young man with a surprised "Yeah": "What's wrong with him!"

"Probably fell from the outside and fell unconscious." Shen Budu checked Tan's breath, confirmed that he was still alive, then turned his head and asked Ruan Ruan, "Do you have anything with a signal on you?"

"Yes!" Ruan Ruan said, took a deep breath, and pouted.

Shen Budu: "?"

A rare look of confusion appeared on his face, and then he watched Ruan Ruan spit out a transparent bubble from his mouth. Exploded, spreading out colorful colors.

Shen Budu: "..."

Ruan Ruan looked at Shen Budu, pinched the corner of his clothes coyly: "Dudu, didn't you scare you? I'll tell you a secret, don't tell it."

"I'm actually not human." Ruan Ruan motioned Shen Budu to squat down, and whispered in his ear, "It's a koi spirit."

Shen Budu understood.

No wonder Song Yifan asked Ruan Ruan to accompany him to look for herbs - koi symbolizes auspiciousness, and the transformed koi essence has a special physique, which has a high chance of bringing good luck to people around, and even fulfilling people's wishes.

The Zhenshan sect's ability to survive for so many years must have a lot to do with this town's treasure.

but……

"Don't reveal your identity to others casually, Song Yifan and the others didn't tell you?" Shen Budu frowned slightly, squeezed his fingers and asked.

The people in the world are greedy, even martial arts and treasures can win the head and blood, let alone such a living treasure who can realize their wishes?

If it fell into the wrong hands, Ruan Ruan's fate would be unimaginable.

"I know." Ruan Ruan said naturally, "But you are not someone else."

Shen Budu was dumbfounded for a moment.

"My identity is only known to everyone in the sect!" Ruan Ruan put his arms around Shen Budu's neck, and said with a smile, "Now Dodu is also a member of the sect, of course I want to tell you!"

The child's soft body carried a faint milky fragrance, and it gently bumped into Shen Budu's heart.

The child's heart is simple, and there are not so many twists and turns when talking, but it is more precious because of it.

Shen Budu didn't speak, just raised his hand and gently rubbed the child's hair.

Ruan Ruan's bubble signal was obviously familiar to everyone, and they all rushed over within a moment, and pulled the three of them out of the pit with vines.

So after Shen Budu, Zhenshanzong picked up another person.

This boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old, his clothes were dirty and torn, and his face was smudged, and his facial features could hardly be seen.He woke up soon, seeing the strangers around him, he didn't show any fear, but he was obviously a little tense, shrank his thin body into the bed, and hugged himself with his bony forearm knee.

Song Yifan has already picked up experience in picking people up, and he is also the most amiable among this group of people, so he handed the young man a glass of water, and said in a warm voice, "Don't be afraid, we have no malicious intentions. You went to the mountain to collect herbs alone Is it? Is there an adult around?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, took the water and shook his head gently.

Song Yifan's voice became softer: "Then where is your home? I'll treat your injury first, you have a good rest, and then we'll take you home."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the boy's trouser leg, wanting to help him deal with his swollen ankle.

But the boy shrank back a bit, reaching out and tightly clutching his trouser legs.

Song Yifan still thought he was shy, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'll just take a look."

He used some strength to lift the boy's trouser legs, but his expression changed in the next moment.

The boy's ankle was indeed swollen, and it was already slightly purple.But the most eye-catching thing is the terrifying welt marks on the thin calf.

This time not only Song Yifan, but everyone else was shocked.Nie Weiyu couldn't help raising her voice: "What's going on? Someone hit you!?"

The boy pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Li Xingyu also frowned and said, "Don't be afraid. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us, maybe we can help you!"

The boy was silent for a moment, and finally spoke hoarsely.

It turned out that he was an orphan, living in no fixed place since he was a child, and had been sold here and there.The family he is serving now treats him very badly, not to mention the lack of food and clothing, and beats and scolds frequently, making him do all kinds of dirty work day and night.It was the same when he came to Yeyun Mountain to collect herbs this time. He lost his way because he was not familiar with the terrain, and he was exhausted, so he accidentally fell into the cave.If they hadn't met Shen Budu and the others, it would have been a disaster.

When everyone heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation.In contrast, the young man looked calm, as if he was already used to this kind of treatment: "Thank you for your help, I have nothing else on me, only these herbs, I hope you don't dislike them."

He handed the medicine basket to Song Yifan, and then made a gesture to get out of bed.

Song Yifan quickly stopped him: "What are you doing? You are still injured—"

"I should go back." The boy whispered, "If I go back late, the master will beat me again."

When Nie Weiyu heard this, she became impatient: "That bastard, why are you going back to serve him!? Don't leave, just stay here!"

"That family is really abominable, they even beat such a young child!" Song Yifan was furious, and reached out to pat the young man on the shoulder, "That's right, if you have nowhere to go, you can stay with us!"

Ruan Ruan nodded vigorously on the side: "Don't worry, we are all good people! We will definitely not bully you!"

Shen Budu: "..."

This conversation, this scene, seemed a little familiar.

The young man didn't seem to expect that this group of people would be so kind and enthusiastic, his expression moved slightly, but he hesitated: "But..."

"You don't have to worry about it. We don't have many people in our sect, so it's no problem for one more person to eat." Li Xingyu smiled, "You can stay here."

The boy looked at the crowd, and after a moment of silence, he pretended to get out of bed, wanting to kowtow to thank them.Everyone quickly stretched out their hands to stop him, Li Xingyu said: "Since you have entered the sect, you are considered my junior, there is no need to be so polite."

Nie Weiyu also nodded, and asked, "We don't know your name yet?"

The young man whispered, "My surname is Xie, and my name is Xie Yun."

When Shen Budu next to him heard this surname, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched uncontrollably.

Coincidentally, the young man named Xie Yun raised his eyes at this moment and silently looked at him.
