Yucheng Jue

The weather in October has been in autumn for a long time, and there is a chill everywhere.

The five people who went out to collect herbs traveled starry night and over mountains and rivers, and under the leadership of Feng Jingzhen, they came to the unnamed cliff of Huizhe Mountain.

According to the Poison Code, there are five kinds of rare medicinal materials that can detoxify Jiang Chengyao, two of which grow at the bottom of the unnamed cliff in Huizhe Mountain, and the other three grow at the west foot of Fengqi Mountain in the southeast direction of Huizhe Mountain.

And the inner alchemy of the monster that bit Jiang Chengyao back then was the most critical medicine.

The five plan to go down to the bottom of the unknown cliff first, and then go to Fengqi Mountain on the return journey.

The five people stored the horses in an inn in a nearby town, and then purchased a complete set of equipment and grain in the town, and packed the grain into cowhide bags for waterproofing.

After the preparations were complete, the five of them came to the edge of the unknown cliff and began to descend the cliff.

The rope was already made of the strongest material in the town, and the five of them tried their best to take the rope with the limit weight they could bear.

On the edge of the unknown cliff, five people linked the ropes together. After making sure that the knots were strong enough, they tied the ropes one by one to three trees as thick as one person on the edge of the cliff, and tested that they could bear the weight of five people. Only then did he throw the rope down the cliff.

Long San took the lead, He Kuo was second, Feng Jingzhen was third, Ren Lingyan was fourth, and Yuan Hongfei was behind. The five of them slowly climbed the rope down to the bottom of the cliff one by one.

The five were agile and handled well. They went down the cliff smoothly at first, but the length of the rope was limited after all. When they reached more than half the height of the cliff, they had already reached the end of the rope.So the five of them climbed on the vines growing on the cliff and jumped down according to the method Feng Jingzhen told in advance.

In less than a cup of tea, the five people were surrounded by a large cloud of fog, and gradually felt that their internal strength was not continuing. Fortunately, they had to be reminded by Feng Jingzhen before, and they were going down a cliff, which saved a lot of effort. They did not rely on internal strength. With excellent body coordination ability, every time the rattan breaks, they change hands in time for the next one, so the five of them landed safely without any danger.

Except for Feng Jingzhen, the other four were all amazed by the scenery at the bottom of the cliff.It is already autumn outside, but this place is still warm in spring when the flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and the river is gurgling. The five of them feel that the autumn clothes are a little stuffy, so the five of them take off their coats and put them in their parcels. , and started surveying along the direction of the river.

Three or four hours passed, it was getting late, and the five of them felt hungry, so Feng Jingzhen took the four of them to find the cave where he and Jiang Chengyao lived last time.

In order to prevent wild animals from disturbing them, the five people set up a bonfire at the entrance of the cave and shared food and drinking water in the cave.Since Feng Jingzhen and Jiang Chengyao recovered so slowly after being injured here last time, Feng Jingzhen suspected that it was related to eating fish and shrimp in the river at the bottom of the valley, so the five of them brought enough dry food and fresh water this time.

Facts have proved that his judgment is correct.After dinner, the five of them crossed their legs to perceive their internal strength, and there was nothing wrong with it, so the five of them felt relieved.

"According to what you said, this monster lives in the water, we need to enter the water," Yuan Hongfei looked at Feng Jingzhen and asked, "The last time you entered the water, how long have you been diving in the water?"

Feng Jingyu pondered and said: "The sum of the two times before and after should not be less than four hours. However, I was injured and passed out that time, so I'm not sure about the exact time."

"Four hours? This time is too long!" Ren Lingyan said in surprise: "I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for so long!"

"We don't need to stay in the water all the time," Feng Jingzhen replied, "we have to follow the route last time and enter that cave, because there are two herbs in that cave. And the first time we encountered that monster, Also in that cave."

Feng Jingzhen then explained in detail how to get into the water and how to enter the cave for the other four people.After the five people discussed it, they decided to go into the water early tomorrow morning.He Kuolong took three turns to watch the night, and the three of them rested early.

In the early morning of the next day, the five of them washed up, finished their dry food, and went to the place where they entered the water.

The five people entered the water one after another holding hands according to the previous agreement.

Diving into the water, the further downstream, the more turbulent and cold the water flow, the five of them mobilized their internal energy to keep out the cold, and followed the direction of the water flow, all the way down.

Encountering a raised rock on the way, the five raised their heads and stretched their noses and mouths out of the water to breathe and take a rest.Then he dived into the water again, trying to keep his eyes wide open in the dark and deep water, and using his internal force to improve his vision, he searched for the fork.

After an unknown amount of time, Ren Lingyan felt that her hands and feet were already cold, so Feng Jingzhen slapped her wrist and motioned her to look forward to the left.

Ren Lingyan tried her best to concentrate and saw the fork clearly. The five of them nodded to each other to show that they had seen it, so they all tried their best to swing their limbs and swim towards the fork.

Entering the bifurcation, the water flow slowed down, and the five of them went down the river, suddenly feeling a sense of weightlessness, and all five of them fell into the pool with a plop.

Coming out of the pool, He Kuolongsan immediately went to pick up dry branches under the big tree to set up firewood.Yuan Hongfei was courteous to Ren Lingyan.Feng Jingzhen picked up a burning branch, walked to the small hole at the bottom of the cave, which was half a person's height, and threw the branch into it.

After waiting for a long time, the burning branches should have gone to the bottom long ago, but the small hole was extremely quiet.

Could it be that the monster was blinded by himself and Jiang Chengyao, and is already dead?If it dies, it's really troublesome...

Seeing Feng Jingzhen standing in a daze in front of the small cave, Ren Lingyan threw off Yuan Hongfei's entanglement, walked to Feng Jingzhen's side, and asked why.

After Feng Jingzhen finished explaining, he said worriedly: "If it is really dead, then its body may have been eaten by other animals, and we will not be able to find its inner alchemy!"

When Ren Lingyan heard this, she also frowned.

Yuan Hongfei heard the words, came over and interjected: "Don't be so pessimistic. According to what you said, that monster is huge in size, and its movements are as agile as a swimming dragon. To exaggerate, it is almost becoming a master. How could it die so easily!"

"That's right. Didn't you say that its outer skin is as hard as iron and impenetrable to weapons, so the possibility of it being eaten is even smaller." Ren Lingyan also said.

"Go and dry your wet clothes," Yuan Hongfei greeted the two of them, "Ling Yan, I set up a 'boudoir' for you, go there and change your clothes!"

As the two walked towards the fire, they looked up at the so-called "boudoir". It turned out to be a small independent space built by Yuan Hongfei with branches and large waterproof cowhide cloth under the tree. It is practical, the cover is airtight, and it is very safe.

Ren Lingyan took the clean clothes and handkerchief, thanked Yuan Hongfei, turned around and went to the "boudoir" to change the wet clothes.

Yuan Hongfei's feelings for himself were suppressed in his heart before, and he would even be jealous and distorted because of his love for Liu Shengmo, but now, he is showing it openly, giving to himself without hesitation, and he doesn't even know it How should I say no.

Ren Lingyan was worrying while changing her clothes. Feelings are the simplest and most complicated thing.The simple thing is that when you like someone, all your emotions and sorrows are tied to that person. Many times, if you don’t control it properly, you will fall into negative emotions and wrong practices; the complicated thing is that once you really like someone When you fall in love with someone, it's not so easy to control yourself, and it's not so easy to just let it go.

Yuan Hongfei was like this to her, and she was like this to Liu Shengmo!

Although she was trying to give up Liu Shengmo in words and deeds, only she knew best in her heart whether she really let go...

After Ren Lingyan changed her clothes, she went back and sat down beside the four of them. He Kuo took Ren Lingyan's wet clothes and put them on the rack beside the fire to dry.

The five sat together, resting and discussing the countermeasures to find the huge monster.

Due to the limited amount of dry food and fresh water, the five of them did not have three meals a day, but two meals a day, and they only shared food in the morning and evening.Since they are all martial arts practitioners and have internal strength to maintain, reducing their appetite has no effect.

"It's very troublesome to find that monster. It's an aquatic creature, and the bottom of the water is unreachable. If we go into the water to find it, it will definitely not work." Yuan Hongfei said.

The remaining four agreed.So the five fell into silence.

"Then think of a way to lure it out?" Long San suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised his eyebrows and said.

"Draw it out?" He Kuo questioned, "How to draw it out? What kind of way to draw it out?"

"Of course it is edible," Long San said, "it should be similar to a fish, can't we catch it with food?"

"Do you know what it likes to eat?" Yuan Hongfei asked with a smile.

"..." Long San got stuck.

Yes, what do monsters like to eat?

"...meat?" He Kuo answered uncertainly.

"Then what kind of meat?" Ren Lingyan asked.

After this question, several people fell silent again.

It is estimated that this monster is tired of eating fish and shrimp, and it is impossible to take the bait.The other animals had not been seen since they entered the valley.

It cannot be said that there are no other animals here, maybe because they have never encountered them before, but even if there are other animals, this monster may not necessarily like to eat them, and it will have to work hard to get out and catch them again. Come on, everything is troublesome.

The five continued to be lost in thought.

After a long time, Feng Jingzhen, who was caught in memories, suddenly had a thought: This monster is extremely vengeful!

I hurt it quite deeply, if I use myself as bait, can I lure the monster out?

Feng Jingzhen continued to think.

Even if you can be the bait, how can you lure it out?Is it possible to cut meat and fish?

Fishing definitely won't work, that huge monster can't be caught at all, as long as it can be lured to show up.Cut the meat, you have to think about it carefully.

Feng Jingzhen lowered her head, her eyes fell on her hands, she repeatedly clenched and spread them, then clenched and spread them again.

Yuan Hongfei looked at the silent Feng Jingzhen making this unconscious movement, and said, "Could it be that Brother Feng has a solution?"

Feng Jingzhen raised her head when she heard the words, sorted out the issues she was thinking about, and told them to listen.

Ren Lingyan immediately objected after hearing this: "Using you as bait, how can this be used as bait? Can you still be tied with a rope and thrown into the water? Your method is too absurd, it won't work!"

Long San also said: "Besides, Feng Miracle Doctor, if you can attract that monster to come, then we have been diving for so long, it should have come long ago!"

He Kuo got up to add firewood to the fire, but he felt that the monster might have starved to death a long time ago, a monster that is completely blind has no ability to survive and protect itself, and it is impossible to survive until now.But he wanted to return to his thoughts, but he didn't dare to say it.

Feng Jingzhen thought about what Long San said, and thought it made sense.So he started thinking again.

Seeing this, the others consciously kept silent. For a while, the cave was extremely quiet, except for the occasional "crackling" sound of burning firewood.
