Chapter 246: Centipede Ridge, is it practicing?
"Chen Yang!"
The voice of the old locust tree was low, like a seducer calling out to the soul.
It gives people the feeling of being in a hurry and wanting to shout loudly, but not daring to shout.
It was raining outside and the wind made the windows rattling. Chen Yang woke up in confusion.
The cold wind blew and I shivered.
If nothing else, this environment and this sound are really scary.
"Huai Lao, what's wrong?"
Stand up and close the window.
Lao Huaishu was looking for him in the middle of the night. Could it be that something had happened?
Of course, it is not ruled out that Laohuaishu is lonely and depressed and seeks him out to relieve his loneliness.
"Huai Lao?"
Chen Yang closed his eyes, but there was no sound in his ears, and he shouted again. Could it be that it was an auditory hallucination?
But the mountain seal on my neck is still hot.
“Wait a moment, it hasn’t left yet.”
Just when Chen Yang was about to ask again, the old locust tree's voice finally sounded again. It deliberately lowered its voice, as if it was afraid of being heard by someone.
Then, the old locust tree fell into a long silence.
What's going on?
Chen Yang frowned, having no idea what the old locust tree was doing.
Quiet, long-lasting silence.
"Huh..."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Yang heard the long breath of the old locust tree again.
There is a feeling of being relieved of a heavy burden and finally relieved.
"Chen Yang, are you still here?"
At this time, the voice of the old locust tree obviously increased by several decibels, and was no longer as suppressed as before.
But it can be heard that the emotion is still mixed with excitement.
"Yes."
Chen Yang responded quickly, fearing that he would suddenly be disconnected again, "Huai Lao, what happened?"
"Just now, there was something here In my forest.”
Huai Lao quickly told him what happened.
It turned out that a little earlier, there was a cold wind and rain in the mountains, and the old locust tree was ready to take an early rest after chatting with the Huang Ge tree god for a while.
At this time, an uninvited guest came to the old ghost forest.
The old locust tree took a look and saw an old man and an old woman.
Looking at their appearance and attire, he remembered that they were the old couple who went into the mountains a few days ago to go to Mi Nian Valley.
Lao Huaishu didn't pay attention, thinking that they had returned from Mi Xian Gou and were going to report to Chen Yang the next day.
But soon the old locust tree discovered something was wrong.
After entering the old ghost forest, the old couple seemed to be lost and kept wandering around in the forest.
Walking east and west, circling in the forest, calling Kuan'er, Kuan'er from time to time.
The more I look at it, the more I feel something is wrong, and the more I listen to it, the more terrifying it becomes.
Hurry and check carefully.
You don’t know this by looking at it, but it’s really startling.
The old couple's clothes were in tatters, covered in blood, their faces were colorless, and their eyes were empty.
Dead man!
Lao Huaishu quickly concluded that the old couple were dead.
There was no trace of life in them. The corpses were controlled by a strange force, moving mechanically in the forest like zombies.
This discovery made even a tree like the old locust tree feel creepy.
When the two people wandered under the tree, the old locust tree discovered the real clue.
Behind the two corpses, there is a spiritual plant, which is controlling their corpses.
This discovery made the old locust tree shudder.
After Polygonum multiflorum, another evil spiritual plant appeared on Qishan Mountain.
Polygonatum, that is a plant that has become a climate.
The old locust tree was frightened and quickly contacted Chen Yang.
But the Huangjing plant has been wandering around the old ghost forest and has been reluctant to leave. The old locust tree was afraid that its mental fluctuations would be noticed by the other party, so it held it in for so long.
It wasn’t until the Huangjing plant left the range of the old ghost forest that the old locust tree breathed a sigh of relief.
……
After listening to what Laohuaishu said, Chen Yang had a solemn expression on his face.
He actually came to the Old Ghost Forest?
"Chen Yang, it has left now. I don't know if it will come back soon. This thing is a bit evil. I feel that it is more terrifying than He Shififteen..."
Lao Huai Shu seemed to be a little scared, and his voice was trembling slightly.
Chen Yang pondered for a moment, "Huai Lao, don't disturb it, just pretend it doesn't exist. I will go into the mountain to deal with it early tomorrow morning."
"Then you have to be early."
The old locust tree felt a little relieved. It had been in the old ghost forest for so many years, and it wasn't afraid of anything supernatural, it was just afraid that this thing would attack it. unfavorable.
After all, the old locust tree can be regarded as a spiritual plant, and it is not unusual for spiritual plants to devour each other.
That Huang Jing is so evil, if it is targeted, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do it.
……
It was windy and rainy outside the window, and it was obviously not the time to go up the mountain in the middle of the night.
Being treated like this by the old locust tree made Chen Yang feel sleepy.
He pulled out the system panel and opened the [Qishan Centennial Polygonatum Growth Distribution Map].
A thumbnail map of Qishan quickly unfolded in his mind.
On the map, there are still three red dots flashing.
The positions of two of the red dots are fixed and seem to have not changed from the beginning, but the other flashing red dot is obviously moving.
Looking at the location, it is indeed near the old ghost forest.
Chen Yang stared at the red dot. It wandered near the old ghost forest for a while and stopped at a certain location.
Still motionless.
After comparing the map, Chen Yang found that this location was exactly the same Huangjing forest where he and Huang Can dug up Polygonatum japonica.
What is it doing there?
Chen Yang frowned slightly. Although he could see its position moving, he had no way of knowing the situation at the scene.
After all, he didn’t open his eyes either.
After waiting for a long time, the red dot did not move again.
Chen Yang turned off the map. No matter what the situation was at the scene, it would be clear when he went to the mountain tomorrow morning.
......
——
In the early morning, Daqi Mountain was shrouded in a layer of mist, like a girl covered with a veil.
There is still a little drizzle in the sky, and when the wind blows, it is like flying needles all over the sky.
In the yard of the old house.
Huang Can came early in the morning with a backpack on his back. He also planned to ask Chen Yang to go up the mountain with him to dig for Huangjing after the rain stopped.
They dug up Polygonatum that day, but they only dug out a small part, and there was still a lot left.
As long as he is willing to work hard, he can earn thousands of dollars a day. How can Huang Can not be active?
He happily ran to call Chen Yang, but unexpectedly he was held down by Chen Yang.
There was danger on the mountain and Chen Yang wouldn't let him go.
Huang Can was confused and asked what was going on. After listening, he stood there stupidly for a few seconds.
Huang Jing kills someone? Are you sure it's not a horror story?
But seeing that Chen Yang and Qin Zhou had already put on their backpacks and were ready to go into the mountains, it was obvious that they were not joking with him.
"Brother Yang, can you take one with me?" Huang Can asked coquettishly.
Before Chen Yang could say anything, Qinzhou blew his beard and said, "What are you going to do? Are you going to die? You are just messing around."
Huang Can had an awkward expression on his face when he heard this, "It's okay if I go and learn more. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you."
He looked at Chen Yang eagerly.
In the past, I had only heard Chen Yang talk about some strange things in the mountains, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he had such an opportunity, he didn't want to let it go.
Chen Yang hesitated.
Huang Can's entry into the Panshan business was an accident. He inherited Fire Silkworm, and he will probably embark on the Panshan road in the future. There are things that refresh the three views, and he can indeed get in touch with them appropriately.
"Aren't you afraid?" Chen Yang looked at him.
"You are not afraid, I am scared." Huang Can spread his hands very calmly.
"Oh, I'm not afraid now. When I see that thing later, just don't cry and yell at your mother to wet your pants." Qin Zhou said jokingly from the side.
Huang Can's face twitched slightly, this old man's words were really annoying.
“Okay.”
Chen Yang didn't say much, but just reminded, "When you enter the mountain, you must obey the instructions. You are not allowed to act on your own. Also, the most important thing is, live broadcasts are not allowed."
"Understood."
Huang Can was delighted when he heard this and agreed wholeheartedly.
“Backpack.”
Qinzhou threw his huge backpack directly towards Huang Can.
When you get down the mountain, you still have to carry the body.
Free coolies are not for nothing.
……
——
At noon, near the old ghost forest, Huang Jinglin. It rained last night and everything in the mountains was wet.
The dew was very heavy. The three of them were soaked all the way here, like three drowned rats.
There is a strong smell of moisture in the air, which makes people very uncomfortable.
"Holy shit, what's going on? Who did this?"
Huang Can threw his backpack on the ground and ran towards the Huang Jing Forest. .
Chen Yang had been here with him two days ago, and the traces of their excavation of Huang Jing were still there.
At the foot of the hillside, there are still a lot of Polygonatum odorata that have not been dug out, but at this moment, these Polygonatum odorata seem to have withered.
Their exposed stems have become abnormally dry and knotted, and the leaves and hanging flowers have all dried up and turned black.
It breaks with just a slight break.
The expressions of the three of them changed slightly, and Huang Can even cursed.
It was fine when I left that day, so why did it dry up like this in the blink of an eye?
These are all money.
Chen Yang frowned, grabbed a dried Huangjing, and pulled it gently.
I pulled it up directly.
The tubers buried in the ground looked as if they were dehydrated. When you pinch them with your hands, the powder will fall out.
This...
Chen Yang stagnated.
This is not scientific.
You know, it has been raining for the past two days. This situation is definitely not caused by lack of moisture.
"Madeh..."
Huang Can cursed and turned around, "It's so weird. With so many Huang Jing, I'm afraid a quarter of them are dead."
At this moment, Chen Yang's face was also covered with black lines.
This is the experience package he stored. He didn't even have time to harvest it, so he just lost a lot of it?
“Could it be that Huang Jing did it?” Qin Zhou said solemnly from the side.
“Huh?”
Dried with Huang Jing? That strain of Huangjing that kills people?
When Huang Can heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes. If Qinzhou hadn't said anything, he would have thought that he was some wicked guy who came here to apply herbicide.
Chen Yang was noncommittal.
It is not impossible that Huang Jing is the root of it.
After all, he knew that the Polygonatum japonica plant came to this Polygonatum japonica forest last night.
Qinzhou said, "If it is the dried Polygonatum japonica, Chen Yang, this Polygonatum odoratum plant is probably very intelligent. It is actively hunting and absorbing the medicinal power of these Polygonatum japonicas..."
In other words, It is practicing.
Chen Yang looked around and saw that there were more than ten acres of Polygonatum japonica around. Although it was young, it was more abundant.
In this area, of the more than ten acres of Polygonatum sibiricum, at least two or three acres have withered. Without exception, it is due to the loss of medicinal power and the withering.
“It should still be around!”
Qinzhou suddenly thought of something and looked around cautiously.
Huang Can's face changed slightly and he quickly looked around.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
“I’m not here, don’t be nervous!”
Chen Yang felt much more relaxed. He opened the [Qishan Centennial Polygonatum Growth Distribution Map] and saw that the red dot was already at dawn. At that time, I left this Huang Jing land.
The current location is near Centipede Ridge.
I was still moving towards Centipede Ridge in the morning, and then I fixed on Centipede Ridge and stopped moving.
“Are you sure?”
Qinzhou looked at Chen Yang in surprise. He didn’t understand why Chen Yang was so sure.
“Let’s go to the Old Ghost Forest and look for the old locust tree.”
Chen Yang did not explain and continued walking in the direction of the old ghost forest.
Old locust tree?
Qinzhou thought about it. Although this boy Chen Yang has not entered the spiritual realm, he has the ability to communicate with spiritual plants.
He had seen it as early as in Jianfeng Mountain.
The old locust tree in the Old Ghost Forest is also a spiritual plant. I think Chen Yang should be able to communicate with it.
In this way, it should be easier for them to find the whereabouts of the Polygonatum japonica plant.
……
Old Ghost Forest, the three of them soon arrived under the old locust tree.
Qinzhou and Huang Can were circling around the old locust tree, and they seemed to want to try to communicate with the old locust tree, but unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they were just playing the piano to the bull.
Obviously, this ability is not something just anyone can possess.
Spiritual realm is a hard condition to open the door to communication with spiritual plants, and Chen Yang can only be regarded as an extremely rare case.
The old locust tree still had some lingering fears, but after seeing Chen Yang, it reluctantly settled down.
In person, I told Chen Yang what happened last night, and this morning, when the sky was dark, the Polygonatum came to the old ghost forest again, and wandered in the old ghost forest for a while before leaving. Went in the direction of Centipede Ridge.
The three of them immediately rushed to Centipede Ridge.
Chen Yang checked the location on the map in real time. Near Centipede Ridge, there was another century-old Polygonatum plant.
In the entire Qishan Mountain, there are only three remaining Polygonatum odorifera plants that are more than a hundred years old.
In addition to the killer Polygonatum japonica they are looking for, there are two others, one of which is not far from Centipede Ridge.
Chen Yang was a little suspicious. Could this murderous Polygonatum japonica be heading towards the century-old Polygonatum odoratum plant?
They are the same species and belong to the same genus, and their medicinal potency should be similar. If the killer Polygonatum vulgaris wants to obtain energy intake through hunting, hunting the century-old Polygonatum vulgaris is indeed a good choice.
Centennial Polygonatum has greater medicinal effect and is more suitable for its cultivation.
A hundred-year-old Polygonatum vulgaris plant is much more precious than hundreds of ordinary Polygonatum vulgaris plants. Some things cannot be piled up just by quantity.
It may not be enough to eat at the Polygonatum japonica, so I decided to focus on the century-old Polygonatum odoratum here.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them arrived at the foot of Centipede Ridge.
The system showed that the location of the murderous Polygonatum odoratum plant was on Centipede Ridge, and the two red dots almost overlapped.
“Are you sure it’s up here?”
Qinzhou looked up and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
Chen Yang nodded.
Can the system display be false?
"The cliffs up here are steep and difficult to stand on. It will be easy for us to go up, but if we encounter any accident, it may not be good for us."
Qinzhou analyzed it.
Needless to say, Huang Can could only go up there just to watch. However, Centipede Ridge was too steep and would greatly restrict their movements.
The things they have to deal with are not ordinary things. When the time comes to fight, they will suffer a lot if they cannot take advantage of the location.
"I'll go up and take a look first. You guys keep watch below. If it escapes, just don't let it escape."
Looking at the map, Chen Yang has confirmed the Huang Jing plant. location.
“Are you going up alone?”
Qinzhou frowned, this was something that could not be taken carelessly.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. If you follow me, it will be a drag." Chen Yang was not polite at all, and what he said was a bit heartbreaking.
Qin Zhou’s face trembled.
"I know your kid is powerful, but don't be careless. If it doesn't work, come down. We'll find a way to lead it to an open area and deal with it. Don't show off."
"Yeah."< br>
Faced with Qinzhou's instructions, Chen Yang gave a slight hum.
The butcher's knife was removed from his waist, and he came to the bottom of the cliff. He looked up, raised his body, and quickly jumped up the cliff like a nimble swallow.
Huang Can was dumbfounded.
Is this Qinggong?
The qinggong in the TV series is nothing more than that, right?
It was difficult to find a place to stand on such a steep cliff. If it were him, he wouldn't dare to climb up even if he brought rock climbing tools.
“Hey, boy, do you want to learn?”
Qin Zhou glanced at him and asked casually.
“Huh?”
Huang Can came back to his senses and looked at Qinzhou in surprise, “What are you learning?”
"Qing Kung Fu."
A smile appeared at the corner of Qinzhou's mouth, "I know everything Chen Yang knows. I think you have pretty good skills, so why don't you become your teacher and I'll teach you..."
Apprenticeship?
Huang Can was slightly startled when he heard this.
He didn't have much contact with Qinzhou. He only knew that Qinzhou was a master. Chen Guoqiang specially asked him to run the test for his grandson. He seemed to be quite rich and well-established.
"Chen Yang is your apprentice?"
Huang Can looked confused. He was very curious about the relationship between Qin Zhou and Chen Yang.
"He...this..."
Qinzhou was immediately punished. How could he teach a disciple like Chen Yang? "I told you to become a disciple, you are talking nonsense. What is he doing?"
Seeing Qin Zhou talking about him, Huang Can understood something and immediately asked, "Who is more powerful, you or Chen Yang?"
Qinzhou choked for a moment and argued forcefully, "It depends on what aspect you are talking about. In terms of his qualifications in the Panshan world and his extensive knowledge, then he is definitely not as good as me..."
It feels a bit It's like he is trying to regain his respect.
Huang Can felt a little embarrassed for him inexplicably, and quickly interrupted him, "Mr. Qin, becoming a disciple is as easy as recognizing a godfather. You allow me to think about it... ”
He doesn’t know much about Qinzhou, how could he rashly become a disciple? Moreover, the other party might just be joking with him, and Huang Can doesn’t take it seriously. If he really wants to become a disciple, he thinks it would be better to become a disciple directly. Chen Yang is better.
Although Chen Yang is young, he knows the basics and is very capable.
Huang Can has never served anyone, but Chen Yang is one of them.
