The boundary of Yingshui City is a group of snow-capped mountains. At the foot of the mountain, the grass grows and warblers fly. When you look up, you can see a white ridge above the clouds.Among them, Huayue Snow Mountain is the tallest one in the hinterland of the mountains, and it is said that the forbidden area of ​​Lingyue Palace is in that mountain.

It is simply that the hibiscus flowers grow everywhere above the snow line, but there is no need to go deep into the hinterland of the mountains, otherwise, no matter how good the cardinal's lightness skill is, it will not be able to return that day.

The flowers of hibiscus flowers look like exposed rocks from a distance, and the stems and leaves are covered with hoarfrost, almost perfectly hidden in the snow mountain environment.

Cardinal originally thought how much effort it would take to find this kind of herbal medicine in the vast snow mountain, but unexpectedly, not long after reaching the snow line, he saw a group of herbal pickers gathered together on the opposite mountain road, facing a cliff. Wall finger pointing.

The cliff is vertically upward, even with some outward slope, squeezing towards people on the mountain road. There is a row of protruding rocks at the height of the cliff, which blocks people's sight. In the cracks of the garden, a clump of frost-white hibiscus is growing.

It turns out that this hibiscus flower not only has the miraculous effect of repairing the meridians, but also its rhizome can open up the meridians and assist in the cultivation of internal strength. Therefore, there are many sects or martial arts families in the world to buy this herb.However, hibiscus is rare in number, and it grows on the top of the snow-capped mountain, which is difficult to reach. Demand exceeds supply.

And the flowers of black hibiscus are even more difficult to find. The world is dangerous, and there are many tricks that can damage the meridians. Even if the meridians are not damaged, taking them can also be of great benefit to cultivation. The effect is incomparable to only taking the roots. .In contrast, the supply of hibiscus flowers is really scarce. When luck is unlucky, no one will pick a plant for dozens of days. It can be said that most of the people who come here to collect herbs come here to gamble their lives with the dream of getting rich overnight. .

The reason why hibiscus flowers are so rare is that the flowering period of hibiscus is extremely short, and the poisonous fruit begins to bear in only three or four days, and its flowering period is extremely unstable, only affected by the temperature of the place where it grows, and the altitude of the snow mountain is changeable , the terrain is complex and the climate is unstable, so almost no one knows when a hibiscus will bloom.

And the black hibiscus growing in the crevices of the cliff, clusters of small light-ink-colored flowers are blooming.

If it wasn't for this team of herbal pickers who stopped here, I might have missed it.

The cardinals and the herb-picking team were located on both sides of the concave-shaped mountain facing each other in the air. He glanced at the distance between the two mountain walls. The past can only be detoured.

However, Cardinal was not at all worried that the black hibiscus flower would be snatched away by the other party. The reason why the herb pickers hadn't taken action for so long was because they couldn't reach it.He couldn't reach it, but was attracted by the huge wealth, reluctant to leave, and lingered for a long time.

A hibiscus full of flowers can be sold for hundreds of gold on the black market, that's a big bush!There are dozens of plants!Moreover, this ink hibiscus flower has been out of stock for several months, and the current price can definitely be higher!

Cardinal was observing the location of the hibiscus plant as it walked, and the five senses that were let go just captured the movement of the herb-picking team.The leader of the herbal collection team could tell from a distance that he was old and experienced. He frowned and sighed, ready to direct everyone to leave and look for the next location.

The team leader knew in his heart that no one like himself would be able to go to that kind of place, and reckless attempts would only lead to death in vain.However, some people in the team refused to give up the gold that was brought to their mouths. A young man stood up very dissatisfied, pushed the leader aside and said: "You are old, and your legs and feet are not flexible enough to get it. Yes, but us young and strong can't compare with you, you are afraid that you can't get it and you are jealous of us, so you deliberately stopped us!"

The leader's face turned pale, and the two argued for a few more words. The young man pushed the leader to the ground, picked up his ice ax and began to hit the frozen stone surface.It was midsummer at this time, and the position of the group of people was not far from the snow line. During the day, the melted snow dripped down the cliff, and it was frozen again at night, forming a layer on the cliff. Ice, there is no way to get off if you want to climb up.

I saw the young man cut a few grooves on the ice, then hooked it with hook claws, and slowly climbed up. His fingers should also have martial arts.However, the cliff sloped towards the valley, and even if one climbed up, it was completely useless to dig another point of strength.I saw that the young man had just climbed one-third of the way, when he heard the sound of cracking the ice layer, and countless pieces of ice fell down. When he looked again, the young man had only one hand hanging on the cliff.Due to the slope of the cliff, the young man was no longer above the mountain road at this time. He was hanging on the cliff with one arm, and the abyss was beneath his feet.But the ice continued to crumble, and he didn't last long.

The cardinal saw that person falling straight into the dense forest in the valley with a scream from a distance, and it was probably more ominous, but the cardinal still drove on the road at a leisurely pace, because he left It's really far away, even if you want to save each other, you will never be able to catch up.Cardinal frowned, and only then did he realize that the thin ice layer on the cliff wall was a bit difficult. Even with light work, it is extremely difficult to climb the smooth ice surface to the top layer. Shen would also fall into the valley just like that person just now.

When the linnet reached the place where the hibiscus bushes grew, the team of herb pickers had long since disappeared. He stood below and watched for a while, then stopped hesitating, jumped up lightly on the narrow mountain road, and poured his true energy into the The soles of the feet, using every weak ups and downs on the ice layer to apply force, reached the top after a while.

Without a moment of stagnation, everything seemed to have been rehearsed. The cardinal turned over in the air and threw a few dark darts at the same time. The ice layer and rock soil were broken into small pieces at the same time. Que pulled it down, and at this time he was completely upside down, kicking his feet on the rock above him, and gently landed on the edge of the mountain road.

Linque looked up at the height of hundreds of feet that he had just come down from, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

Just now the set of light footwork that can climb the ice is called Lingyun Crane Step.

It was taught to myself in threes and fives.

This set of light kung fu requires extremely subtle control of internal force, and this kind of delicate work was what I was least good at back then. After studying for a long time, I couldn't learn it, and I even gave up once in the middle.

Not long after giving up, I accidentally learned that it was the third and fifth brother who stole it for me at the expense of delaying the mission and being punished.At that time, I was at the age when I really wanted to save face, and I refused to take the initiative to repent with Sanwu, so I gritted my teeth and practiced secretly at night...

Thinking of this, Linque looked at the handful of hibiscus in his hand and smiled softly.He suddenly remembered the surprised expression on Sanwu's face after he fumbled and practiced it and ran to Sanwu to show it.

At that time, I was thinking that I would be very pleased or angry, but unexpectedly, he picked me up and walked to the dormitory, saying anxiously: "What time did you practice these few days... Didn't you do it in the evening?" Get a good night’s sleep, it’s time for the exercise in a few days, you’re very likely to participate in it so exhausted…you’d die there…you’d better get a good night’s sleep.”

Cardinals headed back toward the sunset, and gradually pulled away from their memories.Although that set of exercises has saved me many times in difficult situations, but this is the only time I can't help but be thankful. Fortunately, Sanwu taught me this set of exercises back then, otherwise...

Linnet stroked a black hibiscus in her arms, and looked at the towering Tianji Building not far away.

Otherwise, your injury cannot be healed.

Going to the snow-capped mountains is really not a difficult task for Linque, and it only takes half a day to practice enough lightness skills. Cardinal has already returned when the sun is setting, because Sanwu's injury has been thinking about it all the time. The person who threw the collected herbs into the medicine cabinet went straight to the house where Sanwu was placed.

It's just that as soon as I got to the door, I heard a 'clang' in the room, like the sound of some utensils falling on the ground.Linnet's heart tightened, and he quickly pushed the door open and entered, and saw Le Yi huddled in a corner of the room, Zhao Ling stopped in front of Le Yi, a pile of broken porcelain and a little medicine on the ground, and Sanwu was sitting leaning On the bed, already woke up.

The red bird was overjoyed, and didn't bother to think about why Le Yi was so far away. After walking a few steps, she wanted to go forward, but was grabbed by Zhao Ling.Le Yi hid behind Zhao Ling and said, "Don't go there! He's scared!"

"What's wrong? Scared? How could he..."

The cardinal was only two or three steps away from Sanwu's bed, and stopped immediately, only to see Sanwu curled up, staring at him, his eyes still not quite right Like a wounded wild animal, its eyes were dull but full of vigilance, and it dragged its weak legs to the corner of the bed little by little, as if it was afraid of being approached.

"This...what's the matter?"

Cardinal kept looking at Le Yi, Le Yi held Zhao Ling's shoulder and poked out half of his head, and said, "He woke up not long after I treated his wounds earlier, I think those places of torture injuries are all It is extremely tricky, and it only picks the most painful part of the person's body. I was afraid that he would be in severe pain after waking up, so I cooked him a bowl of soup to relieve pain and soothe the nerves. This is what it looks like now...

"Well, I felt something strange when I checked his pulse, but the body of the shadow guard is really different from ordinary people, and my previous experience is useless. I wondered if there was something wrong with the medicine I cooked. I waited for it later. He fell asleep again, and wanted to feed him some medicine to mend the meridians while he was sleeping, but I didn't expect him to be so alert, I just woke up when I got close to him, and then..."

Le Yi glanced at the bowl that was broken on the ground, feeling a little headache.

"This..." Linnet felt sore after hearing this, and tentatively took two steps closer, only to see that Sanwu curled up even more fiercely, and even let out a low moan from his throat, like a wild beast warning strangers.

Linque's eyes darkened for a moment, and he hurriedly took a step forward and grasped his pulse door regardless of the struggle. After a while, he understood in his heart, and said to Le Yi: "He has been poisoned by a poison commonly used in the villa. This kind of poison is usually used to extract confessions, and it will take effect three days after taking it, and it can temporarily suppress people's rationality, leaving people with only instinctive reactions."

Coupled with the fact that Sanwu has been severely punished for such a long time, and now the effect of the medicine is taking effect, it is no wonder that he has such a violent reaction.

Cardinal is very familiar with this kind of poison, and has experienced it several times. The medicine is called sleepy well. After taking it, he can no longer suppress those instinctive reactions, and the whole person seems to have become an irrational sleepy beast. Generally, no matter how strong the willpower is, people who are given this drug during torture can say everything they should say.

Looking at Sanwu's distracted eyes, Linque recalled the helpless feeling of being out of control when he took the medicine before. Thinking that Sanwu was suffering from this at this time, Linque only felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh. He lightly held San Wu's hand, but he frowned at the heat in his palm, San Wu was still hot... the heartache that had just been suppressed couldn't be stopped again.
