The four of them packed their bags and hurried on the road under the light of the rising sun.

Zuo Hengqiu and Dai Yansheng each rode a horse, Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan rode together.

The last time when they rode the same horse together, Zhuo Yingxian sat behind Nie Yunhan reluctantly, but now he sat in the other's arms generously.

"Why only rent three horses?" He tilted his head to look at Nie Yunhan, and his tone became more narrow-minded, "Your selfishness is too obvious, isn't it?"

Nie Yunhan said confidently: "Save money! I remember last time I wanted to buy an extra horse, and someone told me that I was full. Now I have to learn to live frugally, so as not to be disliked by others for being extravagant."

Zhuo Yingxian: "..."

Sure enough, this person has a solid reputation for holding grudges.

"At this time, at that time, don't we have money now?" Zhuo Yingxian leaned on the broad and elastic chest, and he was comfortable on the road, and he had time to chat with others, "Besides, this horse is rented, and it will arrive in a while. At the foot of the mountain, if you return the horse, won’t you be able to redeem the money?”

Nie Yunhan disagreed: "The mortgage money can be redeemed, but the rent still has to be paid. Now we don't have to do production, and we can save as much as we can. Be good, don't talk, so as not to get angry."

After all, he clamped his horse's belly and ran forward at a faster speed.

At the foot of Changning Peak, there is a semi-colon for horses. After several people returned their horses, they could only walk to the second peak, Nanzhi Peak.

But I asked the guys at Ma Xing, and they didn't know that there was a Guiyan Gate on Nanzhi Peak, they only heard that they were going to go to that mountain, and they showed a look of "I'm afraid you are looking for death".

Since they couldn't find anything to ask, they had no choice but to continue on the road.

Zuo Hengqiu said: "It's been nearly half a year since the Yanmen's return to the Yanmen, and the flags and drums have really died down. Even the people in the yamen don't understand their movements. It's normal for the common people to be unaware."

"Hide your head and show your tail, maybe you are planning to do something bad." Zhuo Yingxian sneered.

Each of them is wearing a Baichuan belt, and the packages on their backs are equipment and dry food, and the total weight is not too heavy.The red boas are well-trained, and they can still walk like flying with these things on their backs.

The habit of the red boa is that once the equipment bag is carried, the Baichuan belt is fastened. In order to avoid hanging around the waist, the saber will also be carried on the back. There is a knot inside the equipment bag to fix the scabbard. After finishing, The whole person will also be very refreshed, leaving both hands free for easy climbing at any time.

Zhuo Yingxian didn't know how to use "wings", and his backpack was lighter, and his long sword was still hanging on his waist. His lightness skills were good, and he was more than capable of keeping up with the red boa's marching speed.

After more than half a day of rapid march, several people had bypassed Changning Peak, arrived at the foot of Nanzhi Peak, and started climbing.

It was the end of May, and the city of Guiliang Mansion was already very hot. Although the trees in this mountain were lush and lush, covering most of the sunlight, the temperature was slightly lower, but it was very humid. There seemed to be a thin film of water droplets floating in the air. , wrapped the people airtightly from head to toe, and after walking for a long time, their clothes were soaked inside and out.

Moreover, there are indeed few people coming to Nanzhi Peak, and there are almost no traces of artificial excavation in the mountains, so it can be said that there are almost no roads.The ground is covered with a thick mixture of deciduous grass and grass, and it is very slippery to step on, and you may fall if you are not careful.

The terrain here is steep, and the four of them spread out in a row to avoid dragging each other in case of a fall.Nie Yunhan asked them to open the light blades in their hands, so that if they fell, they could stab them into the soil in time to stop the decline.

He held the light blade in his left hand, and held Zhuo Yingxian tightly with his right hand, as if he was afraid that the other party would "let go".

The hands that they clasped were also full of sweat, Zhuo Yingxian worried that he was too tired, so he said, "Don't worry, brother Han, I'm used to climbing Miaoyin Mountain, the mountain road won't trouble me."

"Miaoyin Mountain is just a small bumpkin, can it be compared with this? I'm just being cautious." Nie Yunhan said seriously. He looked at Dai Yansheng and Zuo Hengqiu next to him, and added, "If you don't consider Dai If Brother Zuo is unwilling, I will also let them hold hands."

Dai Yansheng: "..."

Zuo Hengqiu: "..."

The two looked at each other, showing a slightly gritty expression on each other, and subconsciously moved a few steps away from each other.

After marching in a hurry, Nie Yunhan was afraid that everyone would get dehydrated, so he told them to rest on the spot.

He used a light blade to remove the grass leaves piled up under the tree, and after carefully checking that there were no poisonous insects hiding there, he let Zhuo Ying sit down.

There are also mountains at the border between Tangzhou Mansion and Duyu Country. Red boas are no strangers to mountainous areas, but the two environments are very different. The vegetation, birds, insects, and hydrology are different. Everyone has to explore everything again.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water flow here, Zuo Hengqiu has roughly judged the location of the stream, and after several people have drank almost all the water in the water bag, he and Dai Yansheng follow the sound of the stream to add water, and survey the surrounding area by the way terrain.

Zhuo Yingxian leaned back against a big tree to rest, and recalled: "Thinking about our journey, it seems that we always deal with mountains."

"Could it be that you still want to go to sea? Sea is more dangerous." Nie Yunhan took off the monocular "telescope" hanging from his waist, and looked at the mountains and surroundings carefully. "The mountains are majestic and majestic. It can cover up secrets, and it happens that we are pursuing secrets, so nature has an indissoluble bond with mountains."

In the field of vision, there are luxuriant trees, which cover the rocks tightly, and they can't see what kind of existence is hidden there. Nie Yunhan can't help but feel a little anxious. It is impossible for them to search the whole mountain for such a big mountain as Nanzhi Peak. People, the next step is to focus on searching for people's footprints and traces of life.

I don't know if Gui Yan's choice of address in such an inaccessible place will set up traps outside.If anything, it would greatly slow down their search and add a lot of difficulty.

While he was distracted, he suddenly noticed a slight rustling sound behind him, and then from the corner of his eyes, he noticed a silver light flying towards him, nailing it to his feet with a "swoosh".

"There are really poisonous snakes!" Zhuo Yingxian followed closely, looking curiously at the snake that was pinned to the ground by the light blade and was still writhing desperately.

The snake was dark green with red markings on its body, and it was indeed difficult to detect when it swam among the rotting leaves on the ground.

Nie Yunhan squatted down, saw that the snake was completely dead and would not move anymore, he pulled out the light blade, carefully wiped off the poisonous blood on his sleeve, and then returned it to Zhuo Yingxian: "The mountainous area here is no better than Wenzhou. Hot and humid places are the most likely to breed poisons, you, be careful."

Zhuo Yingxian originally wanted to pick up the snake with his hands, but after hearing what he said, he gave up and bumped Nie Yunhan with his shoulder: "Hey, isn't the environment at Tangzhou Mansion similar to this? You used to carry out Don't you often encounter these things during missions?"

"It's not just encountered. When the dry food is exhausted, you have to eat it for a living."

"Snake soup?" Zhuo Yingxian looked yearning, "I heard it's delicious, but I live with Master as a vegetarian, so I haven't tasted snake soup yet."

Seeing his eyes sparkle, Nie Yunhan couldn't laugh or cry, he picked him up and dragged him back to the place where he sat down.

"Eating a fart of snake soup, squatting for a long time to hide and not even making a fire, naturally eating it alive." Speaking of it, this kind of life has been away for two years, but now I still remember it vividly. He took Zhuo Ying Xian said triumphantly, "Come on, Brother Han will tell you the common sense of survival in the wild."

Finally found an opportunity to show off in front of his sweetheart, Nie Yunhan talked to him for a long time, Zhuo Yingxian also listened carefully, and from time to time he scratched the ground with a light knife, Quan Duo made a record in his heart.

Seeing that he was so serious, Nie Yunhan was very helpful, he talked more and more vigorously, looked around, picked up some wild vegetables, weeds and tree mushrooms, and told Zhuo Yingxian which ones he could eat and which ones he couldn't.

"Generally speaking, the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are. You must be careful and don't touch them casually." Nie Yunhan patted the row of small pockets hanging on his waist, "There are cloth gloves here. If you have to pick some plants that are not sure whether they are poisonous, you must wear them."

Zhuo Yingxian is full of strong curiosity about these things: "Are unsightly things not poisonous?"

"Not necessarily. I'll teach you some simple methods. Although it can't completely eliminate the possibility of poisoning, it can eliminate most poisonous plants." Nie Yunhan pulled a grass from the side as a demonstration, "First, smell the smell first. If it doesn't taste right, don't take the risk."

Zhuo Yingxian leaned over and sniffed the grass lightly, his small face was tense, and his expression was very serious, which made Nie Yunhan really want to grab him in his arms and rub him hard.

"And then?" The student didn't know what was going on in the master's mind, and asked seriously.

Nie Yunhan coughed twice, cleared his throat, put away his inappropriate thoughts, took Zhuo Yingxian's hand, and pushed up his tightly bound sleeves, revealing his bony bones. Protruding white wrists.

"Then, you can rub the branches and leaves of this plant or fruit on the skin of your wrist and rub it back and forth. After about a cup of tea, if the skin is not red, swollen and itchy, you can proceed to the next step."

Zhuo Yingxian watched him wrap the grass in his big palm and rub it back and forth on his wrist, and waited patiently for a while, but then he realized something was wrong, so he smiled narrowly: "Are you testing for drugs, or are you being frivolous?" I?"

Hearing this, Nie Yunhan paused, and continued to knead regardless, very confidently: "What's so frivolous about the wrist, it's a lesson to clear up doubts, be serious."

Then he told Zhuo Yingxian, after trying this way, you can put the plant on your lips, the skin there is also very sensitive, after the test it is still fine, you can lick it lightly, there is no abnormality after a stick of incense, Just try chewing and swallowing.

"If you feel something is wrong, quickly pick your throat, spit it out, and drink more water if you have water. Everything is fine, you can try to eat a little, if there is no problem after twelve o'clock, then this thing is edible. "Nie Yunhan said, "On weekdays, we can almost identify all the plants and animals around Tangzhou Mansion, but we don't really need this kind of identification method. Even here, unless there are no familiar plants around, we don't need it. So many steps."

Zhuo Yingxian smiled, "Oh? Then why did you tell me?"

"I'm afraid you'll be alone!" Nie Yunhan said with a look of "but the moon shines in the ditch", and then emphasized, "But I won't let this happen, you are not allowed to leave me half a step, you understand?"

"As you order, Lord Qianhu." Zhuo Yingxian glanced down and curled his lips, "Can you give me back your hand now?"

Nie Yunhan tightened his grip on his wrist: "I won't pay it back."

Zhuo Yingxian: "..."

A few crows came through the air, Nie Yunhan's playful expression suddenly faded away, he got up immediately, and pulled Zhuo Yingxian up: "Go, Brother Zuo found footprints over there!"

The two chased in the direction Zuo Hengqiu and Dai Yansheng left just now, and soon saw Zuo Hengqiu.

Just a short distance from the stream, there is a clear line of footprints on the ground.

Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan squatted down and looked at the mark carefully.

"The soil in the mountains is soft. If you step on it, the footprints are at least half an inch deep. But there are only vague traces in this row of prints. It is obvious that this person has used lightness kung fu and passed by very fast." Zhuo Yingxian said, not very confident He asked Nie Yunhan confidently, "Is that right?"

Nie Yunhan nodded approvingly: "Yes."

"Looking at the degree of solidification of the soil, it was at least three or four days ago." Zuo Hengqiu pointed to the front, "There are still footprints ahead, and there are some footprints that are messy. Those marks are longer. We can follow the footsteps. If the Guiyanmen want to build the Shimen on this mountain, firstly, it will not be too high, and they are not pure cultivators, so going up and down the mountain should not be too troublesome, and secondly, it should be near the water source , it's easier to find clues around here."

"Okay, let's go like this." Nie Yunhan looked around, "Where's Master Dai?"

"here!"

A tree branch not far away shook a few times, and Dai Yan’s voice fell in response. The backpack was much bigger than the space, and the small cloth bag hanging on the waist was also full of things. Poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, this time it is really rewarding."

Nie Yunhan instinctively put Zhuo Yingxian behind him: "Stay away from him."

Dai Yansheng glared at him: "Did you not know how many medicinal materials you have consumed along the way? If you don't make some more, there will be no medicine available."

"The genius doctor has worked hard, the genius doctor is really good." Nie Yunhan praised without distraction, put his five fingers together and made a "please" gesture, "The genius doctor, please go first."

Dai Yansheng: "..."

The terrain here is a bit slow, Zuo Hengqiu followed the footsteps to lead the way, Dai Yansheng followed closely behind, Zhuo Yingxian followed Nie Yunhan in the rear.

Not long after he walked out, he seemed to have thought of something, said to Nie Yunhan, "I have something to ask Master Dai", and then quickened his pace to catch up.

Nie Yunhan heard that he asked Dai Yansheng how to distinguish herbs, what herbs can heal and what kind of injury, so he couldn't help shouting to the two people in front: "Ah Xian, I understand these, come back, I will tell you."

"Don't listen to him." Dai Yansheng glanced back at Nie Yunhan, and said casually to Zhuo Ying, "He once performed a mission and lost his equipment, and then he had to settle down again. In order not to feed the mosquitoes, he found herbs to make a mosquito repellent bag. Maybe the eyes are lame, the gap is so obvious, he can recognize itchy grass as a mosquito repellent, not only did not drive away the mosquitoes, but he was also allergic, with big bumps all over his body, and his head was swollen into two big ones. When he came back, I thought he was being killed Someone hit."

Zhuo Yingxian imagined Nie Yunhan's miserable appearance, he was distressed and funny, but he knew that Dai Yansheng was deliberately trying to expose the other party's embarrassment, adhering to the principle of protecting the calf, he suppressed his smile, and turned around and gave Nie Yunhan a "I miss you" eyes.

"Hiss, my surname is Dai, I found that you talk more and more recently!" Nie Yunhan rushed over and grabbed Zhuo Yingxian, "Don't listen to his nonsense, how could you be so good, brother Han? It's the itchyweed that grows in the place where I'm allergic."

Dai Yansheng curled his lips in disgust, not bothering to argue with him, and strode forward, continuing to search for the poisonous weeds and insects around him.

Nie Yunhan grasped Zhuo Yingxian's wrist tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why do you ask him so much?"

"He is a doctor. It happens that there are all kinds of herbs here. I will ask for advice. I may be able to help at a critical moment, so I don't have to rely on you to take care of him all the way." Zhuo Yingxian looked at him with his eyes tilted, and said narrowly, "This Are they all sour?"

"I won't be sour on anyone! I'm afraid that he won't speak and will anger you."

Zhuo Ying waved his hands idlely: "I'm not that easy to get angry."

Nie Yunhan: "..."

I think some people may disagree with this statement.

Dai Yan, who was walking in front, heard the words, and looked back at Nie Yunhan, his expression was still cold, but there was a bit of resentment in his eyes, and there were some complaints, as if it was a silent accusation.

Nie Yunhan received this look, let go of his hand decisively, and patted Zhuo Yingxian's shoulder: "Go ahead, ask whatever you want, there is a saying in the past, 'It's easy to learn on paper, but you have to do it yourself' , let him explain every leaf and every worm to you clearly."

Dai Yansheng didn't bother to respond to his provocation, and talking about herbal medicine to Zhuo Yingxian was like teaching him everything, especially just now when he walked around the vicinity, he found many plants that only exist in this high-humidity area. Should be free to share.

Nie Yunhan walked at the end, holding a binoculars in his hand, looking up from time to time.Although the foliage here is luxuriant and strong in blocking, he still saw the clues, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he shouted forward: "Stop!"
