Chapter 366 Uninvited Guests
The three people from the Songxi Sword Sect had just entered the ruined temple, and a middle-aged couple came in with a baby to take shelter from the rain.
The couple were about thirty years old, and they were dressed as ordinary people. The man looked ordinary, and seemed to be ill. His face was pale, his steps were sloppy, and he would cough violently after taking a few steps.
But the woman was quite pretty. Even the coarse linen clothes could not hide her plump figure, and her pair of watery red and phoenix eyes were very charming.
As soon as she came in, many men's eyes lit up, and He Qisheng even smiled and greeted her warmly.
"Madam, you can bring your little kid to our place to warm yourself by the fire. It's cold, so don't let the kid freeze."
The fire was made by the people from the Xingtong Escort Bureau before, but now it was made by He Qisheng Others took this place as their own.
The woman's heart suddenly moved when she heard this, even though all three of her family were wearing raincoats and bamboo hats. However, it was raining heavily outside, and my clothes were still a little wet just now, especially the straw shoes on my feet and the hem of my skirt. They were very wet and uncomfortable.
It's okay for adults to say that it will be over after a while, but mothers always feel sorry for their children.
However, she still turned to look at her man. It wasn't until the latter nodded that the family of three came over.
However, when the woman and child sat down, He Qisheng suddenly said to the sick man behind him, "Wait a minute, did I ask you to come and warm yourself by the fire?"
The sick man was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to want to What to say, but immediately he started coughing violently.
Another young man next to He Qisheng said with a look of disgust, "Where did this sick and consumptive ghost come from? It's really frustrating, please stay away from us."
A few people from the Xingtong Escort Agency on the other side Seeing this scene, some people couldn't help but mutter, "Oh, he's from a decent family..."
"Chen Er, be careful what you say!" Escort Shen Zhou immediately scolded in a low voice.
Chen Er curled his lips when he heard this, but did not dare to speak again.
Finally, with the woman's constant pleading, the three members of the Songxi Sword Sect allowed the sick man to sit down a little further away.
Ma Lu was squatting under a wooden pillar to observe the surrounding environment.
All signs indicate that he has come to a martial arts plane this time.
People like He Qisheng and Shen Zhou should be the so-called Jianghu people. Unfortunately, there was no conflict between the two sides just now, and Ma Lu didn't know what the level of the martial arts masters here were.
After all, martial arts is a very broad category. Fighting like Fengyun has its own special effects, summoning flying swords to attack the enemy together is martial arts, and the kind of people in the movie "Master" who are still playing with a knife and rubbing their hands are also martial arts.
The gap between the two sides can be huge.
But no matter which way it is, Malu still follows the old rules and throws away the protection of fate first.
This time, a new number appeared in the blank space of the chips - 33.
But just like the previous two times, he had to wait until the conditions were triggered to know what the golden finger was this time.
Malu was not in a hurry, put away the protection of fate and turned on the food scanning function of the traveler's bracelet.
He actually didn't have much hope. After all, this was a ruined temple, and there didn't seem to be anything edible nearby. His was purely a professional quality of a food collector.
Unexpectedly, I received a series of messages.
——Ding! Congratulations on discovering the 1-star ingredient [Red Pine Gastrodia], the [Red Pine Gastrodia] illustration has been unlocked.
——Ding! Congratulations on discovering the 1-star ingredient [Yin Yang Ophiopogon japonicus], the [Yin Yang Yin Ophiopogon japonicus] illustrated book has been unlocked.

Congratulations on discovering the 2-star ingredient [Strengthening Kidney Wolfberry], the illustration of [Strengthening Kidney Wolfberry] has been unlocked.
…………
Ma Lu was shocked by this series of messages on the screen. What are these? !
Long before setting off, he was thinking about what ingredients he could collect after the new channel opened.
He got meat in the first plane and vegetables in the second plane. He had initially met the conditions for opening a restaurant. What he was lacking now was probably staple food and fruits.
So Malu definitely hoped that the third dimension would reveal one of these two ingredients, but he never expected that the new dimension this time would actually provide medicinal ingredients.
Can medicinal materials also be used for cooking? Malu wasn't sure, but now he had figured out where these medicinal materials came from.
Barren mountains and ruined temples will obviously not grow such good things in vain, and even if they do, they will not grow together, so there is a high probability that these things were brought by people who were hiding from the rain in the temple.
The most likely ones are the people from Xingtong Escort Agency. After all, they have two horses and a cart.
It is estimated that these medicinal materials were taken by the escort on this trip, and I don't know where they got them.
If it was dug in the wild and it was not far away, he could dig it out.
Although Malu has not thought about what to do with these medicinal materials for the time being, he has come, and he must not leave empty-handed.
However, even if you think about it with your thighs, you can imagine that Shen Zhou and others will not disclose their employer's information to him, a suspicious person of unknown origin.
Fortunately, it was still early, so the matter of collecting ingredients could be put aside for a while. Malu decided to talk to someone first, at least to find out the basic situation of this plane and figure out where the town was.
Only then can you decide on your next action strategy.
He glanced around, and he eliminated the three people from the Songxi Sword Sect first. They seemed difficult to deal with. The four people from the Xingtong Escort Bureau were also wary of him, and it was difficult to trap him. What useful news.
The remaining old beggars looked as if they were dead. Later, the three of them, Malu, were a little unclear about their background, so the scholar was the only one left.
Ma Lu walked toward him, but the scholar was obviously a little afraid of him. When he saw him coming, he immediately got up and changed his position.
At this moment, another figure appeared outside the door.
The visitor was riding a high-headed horse. The horse's coat was all white, without a trace of mottled color. At first glance, it looked like a very precious colt.
The man on the horse was wearing a raincoat, a bamboo hat on his head, and a sword at his waist. He was obviously a man in the world.
He rode to the temple, got off his horse, saluted the half of the Buddha statues, and said, "Excuse me." Then he led the white horse into the temple to take shelter from the rain.
But at this time, the few areas in the temple that were not exposed to rain were already occupied by people.
He glanced at the fire not far away and saw He Qisheng and others sitting by the fire. Then he looked at the vigilant escorts of the Xingtong Escort Agency not far away, and once again put his buttocks on Scholars who moved crazily towards those escorts.
Finally, his eyes fell on Ma Lu, and he was slightly startled when he saw such a guy dressed as a thief in night clothes.
However, he did not hesitate for too long, and immediately walked towards this side, cupping his fists and saying, "My friend, I wonder if I can allow you and Xiaobai to take shelter here from the rain."
Before Mainland didn't hear the thunderstorm outside. It wasn't until the person spoke again that he realized that although she deliberately spoke in a low tone, she still couldn't hide the crispness of her voice.
