In the hot summer and reckless primeval forest, a figure slowly walked forward in it, sometimes stopping to pull something among the dead branches and leaves on the ground.
"Today's harvest is okay, but unfortunately, they are all relatively ordinary herbs, it seems that I have to go further and take a look, if I can get a good herb, in the next few days, I don't have to brave the fire of the sun, as well as the danger of those snakes, insects, rats and ants, come out and work hard" Put a freshly dug herb into the medicine basket behind him, Ling Yuan sat down and drank some water, wiped the sweat on his face by the way, looked at the surrounding dark forest, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
Ling Yuan is a little Taoist priest, and he lives in the innate view on a small hill not far from this forest, and this boundless forest is like the mountain behind his house.
He has just passed his twenty-third birthday this year, don't look at his age, but he is already a master Taoist priest of the innate view There was no way, there were only two people in that small Taoist temple, he and the master.
According to his master, he was picked up by him from the bottom of the mountain, and he was still in infancy at the time, but his master was over the age of sixteen, and he was worried that no one would inherit the incense of his Taoist temple, so he brought him back.
Twenty-three years have passed.
And his master, who also passed away two years ago, according to their Taoism, is feathered and ascended.
Since then, this innate view has been put into his hands, and all the food and drink have to be controlled by himself.
Although the small innate view is a little small and a little remote, it has also been recognized, and it has been recorded in the relevant departments, and their master and apprentice are both serious and documented Taoist priests.
However, even so, their usual sources of income are very single, except for the pitiful sesame oil money, but it is faster to go down the mountain to do a ritual to make money.
In addition, his master taught him to know a lot of herbs, and when the master and apprentice were fine, they would go into the mountains to collect medicines, and if they were lucky, they would be able to live for a long time if they went into the mountains for a few days at a time.
Now although the master is gone, he Lingyuan still has to live, originally on this hot day, he didn't want to come out, but the rice jar that can starve the mouse to death in the view is cruel to tell him a reality, if he doesn't act, I'm afraid he will have to drink the northwest wind.
Therefore, he went out early and started his journey to find medicine.
To say that in this forest, he and the master have been here more than once, that is, the master is gone, and he himself has come no less than ten times, but every time he comes here, he always feels a little hairy, after all, in this forest, it is too dense, and it is gloomy and uncomfortable.
"It's still early, let's go, or it's late, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
After resting for a while, Ling Yuan stood up and began to head deeper into the depths.
Don't think that the dense trees in the forest are very cool, in fact, in such a big summer, the forest is even more sultry, and there are many mosquitoes, it has only been a morning's work, and Ling Yuan's Taoist robe is already soaked.
Walking on this thick rotten leaf, Ling Yuan's eyes widened and he examined everything on the ground, lest he miss a trace of possibility.
The wind moves with the clouds, and the weather in this summer has always changed as it is, let alone on such a high mountain.
Outside the forest, the sun was scorching, but it had changed, and the sun was no longer visible, replaced by a thick layer of dark clouds.
Obviously, after a while, I am afraid that a rainstorm is indispensable.
However, for Ling Yuan, who was in the forest, he didn't notice that who made this forest dark and his attention was on the ground.
"It seems that my luck is really good today, I actually found a fire cloud vine here" At this time, Ling Yuan stopped under a tall tree, looked up at the thin vine that had been climbing up on the trunk, and couldn't help but be happy.
However, under this look, he found that the weather had deteriorated.
Fire cloud vine is a herb that has only been discovered in recent decades, and according to his master, this herb has never appeared before, and it is said to be a new variety.
This herb is named because it only grows in the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, and they all climb along the poles, and they like to grow on those tall trees, and because after a certain distance from the ground, they will bloom flowers like fire clouds.
Due to its extremely high medicinal value, and the scarcity of quantities, it cannot be cultivated artificially, resulting in the price of this medicine is frighteningly expensive.
And at this moment, the plant in front of him, after being dried into dry products, can go up to a catty, which means more than 10,000 yuan.
The next few months were on his own.
"It seems that we have to hurry up, otherwise it will rain later, and I'm afraid this tree won't be able to go up."
Originally, he would not have gone up such a tall tree under this kind of sky, but this opportunity was really rare, so after only a moment's hesitation, he decided to fight for it.
After cleaning up, he began to climb up with a knife.
For a man like him, who had been in the forest since he had been a child, it was not a problem to climb the tree, and in less than a moment he had already reached the place where the first flower had bloomed.
The fire cloud vine is a thing that grows extremely firmly on the tree, and if you want to receive intact medicinal herbs, you must go up the tree.
Start at the top, then carefully cut off the part of the tree that connects it to the trunk with a knife, then go all the way down to the ground to dig out the roots.
In this way, you can get the best quality fire cloud vine, and the price will be the highest.
Ling Yuan, who has been collecting medicine for many years, is naturally well versed in this.
At his speed, it took more than an hour to reach the tail of the Fire Cloud Vine, and at this time, he was already more than twenty meters above the ground.
Looking down, there is really a feeling of horror, and the surroundings are also open at the moment, after all, this tree can be said to be the tallest in this forest.
After fixing himself, Ling Yuan began to carefully pack up the fire cloud vine, and the sky became more and more gloomy, if there was a heavy rain in this forest, it would really be able to cost half a person's life, Ling Yuan didn't want to die young at a young age.
Thinking of this, the knife in his hand couldn't help but swing faster.
The dull thunder of "boom" sounded in the distance, and on top of the big tree, a slight wind with water vapor could already be felt, and the whole tree began to shake at this moment, and the rainstorm was just around the corner.
Ling Yuan stepped up the movements in his hand as he began to move downward, looking up, there was a foggy feeling in the distance, and the heavy rain had already begun to advance towards this side.
For the sake of his own life, he decided to go down first.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he was moving, a bolt of lightning seemed to be aimed at him, and it seemed to be from the far away sky, and it struck his back at once.

Ling Yuan, who was crawling down, only felt that his eyes were suddenly snow-white, and then an earth-shattering loud bang sounded in his ears, and then his eyes went black, and he didn't know anything.
For a long time, in a mysterious place full of gloom.
"What kind of place is this, I seem to have been struck by lightning just now, can't I die now, is this the Huangquan Difu" Ling Yuan, who woke up slowly, looked at the strange space he was in at the moment, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened to him before, and hurriedly checked his body.
"It's strange, it's a miracle that you've been struck by lightning without even a single scar.
However, this god seems to be too short-eyed, and he doesn't even care about a Taoist priest like me, let's see what the hell this place is, and then let's talk about it, now I have to find a way to go back first" The situation on his body made Ling Yuan feel very surprised, and he couldn't help but wonder.
The space in front of me is a little peculiar, the whole space is a little dark, the feeling of not being able to go up to the sky, not going down to the ground, it seems that there is still a faint mist floating in it, and there is no edge to see at all.
There was not even a little thing around, the silence was a little terrible, and it was impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
Ling Yuan had no choice, so he had to choose a random direction and began to walk forward step by step, hoping to find something.
I don't know how long he walked, he finally saw something different, not far in front of him, there seemed to be something, it stood tall there, in this empty world, it was particularly eye-catching.
Seeing this thing, Ling Yuan couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly ran over there.
Finally, he came to the front of the thing, and only then did he see the true face of the thing.
This is a gray old pagoda, a full nine floors high, the whole pagoda looks simple and atmospheric, the structure looks very simple, it is an octagonal shape, look up, it seems to go straight into the sky.
He wanted to go in and see if he found anything, but he circled around the pagoda, not to mention the door, not even a crack in it, and the whole pagoda seemed to be carved out of a huge stone, with only a small window on each floor.
This couldn't help but make him feel disappointed.
"Hey, why does that layer seem to have some light" After looking at it for a while, Ling Yuan finally noticed something different, and couldn't help but get a little excited, and hurriedly stepped back a little so that he could see more clearly
