After hearing the voice, Feng Yu turned her head to look at the worried old granny. With the rope in her hand, the impatience in her heart had lessened by quite a bit.
"Thank you." Feng Yu thanked the old granny gratefully.
"Miss, I can tell that you are not a local just by looking at you. Do you know the dangers of that mountain? There are indeed a lot of medicinal herbs there, and many herb gatherers would head there, but few would be able to return alive. Legend has it that the mountain is extremely strange. Right now, those herb pickers are only gathering herbs in the vicinity of the mountain. No one dares to head towards that mountain anymore. " The old granny reminded him kindly.
After listening to the grandma's words, Feng Yu became even more certain that the herb she was looking for had decided to be at that mountain. This further strengthened her determination to go there.
He brought Feng Yu to the backyard and pointed to a small path in the backyard. He said, "Since you insist on this, I won't say anything more. I can see that you're in such a hurry to save someone very important. From here on out, you can save half the time on your journey to the mountain." With that, he turned and left.
Feng Yu looked at the old granny's back, not knowing what to say. She was so lucky to have met such a kind-hearted person. With a grateful heart, she walked towards the road the old granny had pointed out.
From the summit, one could see the majestic mountain peak. Even though it was noon, the mountain was covered by a thick layer of fog, and the mountain peak that was surrounded by the fog seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze. At times close to and at times far from the peak, Feng Yu took a deep breath, and it turned out that there was actually such a mysterious scene behind it. In modern times, the phoenix feathers that loved to climb mountains had never seen such a scene before. No one knew what this mountain was hiding, so regardless of what kind of phoenix feathers it was, they would definitely find that herb.
After walking down the mountain for a while, Feng Yu vaguely heard the sound of flowing water. When she walked in, she saw that it was a rapidly flowing stream. Feng Yu hurriedly grabbed a handful of water and drank it down.
After drinking the water, Feng Yu did not dare to waste even a second, and immediately went to look for herbs.
The moment he raised his eyes, he saw that the ground on the other side of the stream was very high, but the water could still flow along the stream, and it didn't slow down at all. The curious Feng Yu walked over and saw that on the surface of the water, there were several large rocks continuously protruding, as if they could pass through a small stream. Feng Yu followed the direction of the rocks, and the fog in the mountain grew thicker as he went deeper in.
Feng Yu looked back and couldn't help but sigh at the supernatural workmanship of nature. She looked up and discovered that the sun was about to set. Feng Yu quickened her steps and walked into the mountain. She discovered that the mountain was like a paradise. Birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. In modern times, this was unimaginable.
"No wonder he's using divine medicine!" She thought to herself.
She walked and looked for a long time, but still couldn't find it. When she thought back to the plot shown on the modern television, this kind of herb should normally grow near a cliff, so she looked up at the sun to determine its direction. Feng Yu felt that this type of miracle medicine should grow at a place where the sun was rising, so she followed the path in the south for a long time, but she still couldn't find the cliff.
Just as he was about to give up, there was a strange cry not too far away. She walked over and saw a wounded fox. Its leg was stained with blood, as if it had been bitten by something.
Seeing Feng Yu coming closer, the little fox didn't seem to be afraid of Feng Yu at all. Its big eyes looked at him pitifully, and luckily, Xuanyuan Zhan had learnt a bit about hemostasis in the past few days, so she was able to find a way to apply some of the herbs on the little fox. Feng Yu knew that she couldn't delay any longer, so she picked up the little fox and placed her in a relatively safe place, before leaving.
The mountain was so mysterious that it should be filled with ferocious beasts. However, the silence was frightening. Feng Yu could not guess what would happen next and could only beg him to get the herbs.
A burst of fragrance wafted over, and when he looked at his surroundings, he did not see many flowers. He thought that the divine medicine should be here, but he could not find it. With an anxious heart, Feng Yu stepped on a rock and slipped, falling down. She tumbled down a small slope by the cliff, but luckily she didn't hit anything and only grazed her skin.
He hadn't noticed it before as he was blocked by the grass. There were all sorts of strange flowers and plants here. The fragrance that he had smelt just now was actually coming from here. She brushed off the dirt on her body, pushing aside the bushes and suddenly saw a purple flower in the middle of the grass, which looked like a herb in a painting, the weeds around her were actually as tall as half of a person's height, she took out the painting, and upon seeing that it was the herb that Xue Leng had mentioned, she immediately ran over, thinking: It's not all a lie in the television.
He took a step back. Puff, there was a crisp sound and the snake started moving, no, it was a giant beast's tail, like a viper, its body was like a fierce tiger with two huge fangs, this was not like how a tiger in a zoo could carelessly touch a snake, Feng Yu was shocked, this was the fierce beast that the grandma talked about, she knew that it was a guardian medicine, but she didn't know what to do when she saw it.
The beast stood up and was about to pounce on Feng Yu when it saw her. Feng Yu remembered that she still had some movement techniques, so she immediately flew up and rode on top of the beast, using both her hands to grab the two horns. The beast tried to shake its body, wanting to throw Feng Yu off its body, but Feng Yu grabbed too tightly, causing the beast to roar in anger.
Suddenly, a fox jumped out from the bush and bit the vicious beast. Feng Yu looked and saw that this seemed to be the little fox that she had just saved, but when she looked carefully, she could see that this one was much bigger than the previous one.
The beast wanted to give chase, so it used all its strength to throw down the distracted Feng Yu. Feng Yu was thrown onto the ground, and her hand just happened to touch the herb, causing him to immediately be ecstatic and pick the herb. Hurry up and leave this place.
However, it was strange. That fox seemed to be deliberately luring away that ferocious beast. Could it be that the little fox's mother was injured today? As expected, foxes knew how to repay favors. I don't know what that encouragement is like, but I hope it's okay.
Feng Yu ran for a long time. Finally, she couldn't run anymore. A smile finally appeared on her face as she looked at the medicine in her hand. She thought to herself, So good intentions really do have good rewards. She had ran for so long that she had no idea where she was, she had to hurry down the mountain to save Xuanyuan Zhan. When she recovered her senses, she realized that the fog in the mountain was even thicker than daytime, she could no longer tell whether it was day or night.
She thought that she shouldn't stay here for too long, so she quickened her pace. However, after walking for a long time, she still couldn't walk out of this fog. From beginning to end, she continued to walk in circles. Had he fallen into a formation? If this really was a formation, then there were rules to follow. Along the way, she left markings, and since he couldn't see the sun, he could only use his knowledge from his past life to look at the direction where the trees grew to determine the direction. She also found a lot of forked branches to move along the way, so as to avoid circling around in place again, she lowered her head and made markings along the way.
Suddenly, the fog grew fainter and fainter. Feng Yu raised her head to take a look. A figure appeared in front of her. Feng Yu slowly approached, and suddenly the fog disappeared. She saw a white-haired old man standing not far away.
The old man looked at Feng Yu and said, "I've already stayed here for dozens of years, but I've finally met a fated person."
Feng Yu didn't know who this person was, and sshe had a stupefied expression on her face. When the old man asked Feng Yu about this, he even told Feng Yu that it was useless to use the medicinal herb alone. He also said that the medicinal herb could only save a person's life if it was used with another medicinal herb. With that, the old man meaningfully handed Feng Yu a book. He said that he would be able to help Feng Yu in the future.
He didn't know how Xuanyuan Zhan was doing, but after some time, he walked down the mountain without thinking. On his way down, he did not encounter any danger, and it seemed that the old man had opened a path for her.
After arriving at the tavern, he saw that Xuanyuan Zhan was still lying weakly on the bed and unconscious. Xue Leng had taken care of him properly, so Feng Yu quickly gave the medicine to Xue Leng and repeated what the old man had said. Xue Leng made Feng Yu describe the old man's appearance, and after Feng Yu finished listening, Xue Leng said that the old man was very likely to be the principal of the Sacred Ground of Medicine. He had been living in seclusion for dozens of years and no one had been able to find him.
After believing in the old man's words, adding on another kind of medicinal herb in the old man's mouth, as well as a few other medicinal ingredients, allowing the lightning and rain to boil and instructing many places to take note of, Xue Leng turned around and saw the exhausted Feng Yu and told Feng Yu, "Don't worry, this medicine will definitely cure Xuanyuan Zhan."
Feng Yu let out a long sigh of relief as her body couldn't listen to what she was saying and almost fainted on the ground. Xue Leng saw this and quickly helped her up, telling her to rest quickly.
Feng Yu tried to put on a brave front as she said, "I'm fine."
"You are so weak, and yet you say that you are fine. You can go rest first, and I'll concoct some medicine for you. You can drink after you want to.
Seeing the affirmation in Xue Leng's eyes, Feng Yu obediently went to rest.
