Blue-leaf poplar?
Is this the prescription that Honglian cracked?
Why are there only three words?
Didn’t Ma Wu taste dozens of medicinal herbs?
To cover up?
There's no need to use dozens of medicinal herbs to cover up just one of them, right?
You have to ask Ma Wu about this.
When Ma Wu woke up, his mind became clearer and he tried to figure out the prescription, but Li Banfeng told him that the medicine powder was lost.
Ma Wu was filled with annoyance: "Brother Li, you actually lost such a precious medicine powder?"
"Don't worry about the medicine powder for now. Do you know what Blue Leaf Poplar is?"
"I know," Ma Wu nodded. "The most famous specialty of this new land is the blue-leaf poplar. There was no village here originally. Many hunters came to the new land to hunt blue-leaf poplars and lived nearby for many years. That's how the Blue Poplar Village came into being."
It turns out that the name of Lanyang Village comes from the blue-leaf poplar.
Li Banfeng was very happy: "Brother Ma, where is the blue-leaf poplar? Let's go cut one down."
"Cut one?" Ma Wu laughed, "Brother Li, you are really generous. Don't even mention a whole tree. Do you know how difficult it is to pick up a few leaves?
The blue-leaf poplar became extinct thirty years ago due to excessive hunting. It is said that someone has seen it deep in the New Land, but it is hard to say whether it is true or not. That place is not accessible to ordinary people. "
Li Banfeng thought for a while and said, "How about we try our luck?"
Ma Wugeng was puzzled: "Brother Li, why should we try our luck? We can't use the Blue Leaf Poplar."
Li Banfeng asked: "What is the use of blue leaf poplar?"
Ma Wu found it difficult to understand Li Banfeng's intention. He didn't even know what it was for. Why did he suddenly want Lan Yeyang?
"Blue-leaf poplars are used to make weapons. Grind the branches into powder and add it to molten iron. The weapons made will be extremely strong. If leaves are added, the weapons will be poisonous."
Forge weapons?
Isn't this a medicinal herb?
Li Banfeng had a deep misunderstanding of blue-leaf poplar.
Ma Junyang said: "Brother Li, if you need weapons, let's go buy ready-made ones. Forget about the blue poplar leaves. There are no craftsmen who can use blue poplar leaves."
Does blue-leaf poplar have no medicinal properties?
wrong!
The blue-leaf poplar must have medicinal properties, otherwise the copper lotus would not give such a random hint.
Li Banfeng thought for a while and decided to go find Lan Yeyang. Ma Wu sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll pack my things and go to Xindi with you to try our luck."
Li Banfeng shook his head: "Don't go, just stay here to look after the house and provide me with some clues."
Ma Wu was worried about Li Banfeng, but when he thought about it carefully, he might become a burden if he went there.
He took out a notebook that recorded his experiences in Lanyang Village. He picked out one of the stories and said to Li Banfeng, "There are indeed rumors about Lanyang, but most of them are nonsense. Only this one is reliable.
This was told to me by an old hunter half a month ago. He said he had seen blue-leafed poplars in the orange grove in Xindi and wanted to ask me about the market price. This old hunter is somewhat famous in the village, so I don’t think he would lie casually.
The old hunter's name was Shen Xueyong. Li Banfeng went to the old hunter's house that day, gave him thirty dollars, and asked about Lan Yeyang.
Shen Xueyong took the money, counted it five times, put it in his arms, and said to Li Banfeng: "The blue leaf poplar is in the orange forest. It takes about half a month to walk from the village entrance."
"Half a month?" Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment. He did not expect this distance.
"It would take an average person half a month. The road is long and difficult to travel. If a high-level traveler takes this route, avoiding danger and seeking good fortune, running for his life regardless of day or night, he can reach the destination in five or six days. If he is at a higher level, I don't know."
The first level can be reached in five or six days, and the second level will probably take three days.
This distance is acceptable to Li Banfeng.
But the key is that Li Banfeng cannot run at full speed, he has to take the old hunter with him, and he doesn't know where the orange grove is.
But the old hunter could not be his guide: "Sir, I really want to go to Xindi with you again. You know the value of goods. I asked the Fifth Master about the price of blue-leaf poplar a few days ago, and he told me that he would give me one thousand yuan for one leaf."
“Is this too little?”
The old hunter sighed and shook his head, saying, "It can't be said to be too little. If Song Jiasen were in charge, he might not even be able to give 300 yuan, but this thing is a blue-leaf poplar, a blue-leaf poplar!
Sir, you may not know what the blue-leaf poplar tree is good for. If you add a leaf to molten iron, you don't need to apply any medicine. The weapon itself is poisonous and can be used for more than ten years. If it were forty years ago, a blue-leaf poplar leaf could be sold for tens of thousands!"
Li Banfeng frowned. Logically speaking, Ma Wu shouldn't have lowered the price so much.
The old hunter smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the Fifth Young Master's fault. The blue-leaf poplar is extinct, and the craftsmen who can use it are also extinct. There is no market for this thing, and the Fifth Young Master really can't offer a high price.
When I saw Lan Yeyang, I was so happy that I wanted to do something big, but the price offered by the Fifth Young Master chilled my heart.
I went to Xindi again three days ago, hoping to try my luck in the bamboo forest. Maybe I could meet the Hundred Bamboo Fairy and make a fortune. I did meet the Hundred Bamboo Fairy, but unfortunately, I failed to catch the Bamboo Fairy and ended up with a Hundred Bamboos piercing my heart."
After saying that, the old hunter lifted up his clothes and pointed to the rows of transparent holes on his chest: "I didn't count carefully, a hundred holes are torn, there should be twenty or thirty."
Li Banfeng counted them carefully and there were twenty-eight in total.
There are twenty-six holes, and you can see the back wall directly from the front chest.
There was a hole that was half healed, and in the remaining half, you could see the wriggling flesh and blood inside.
The remaining hole has basically healed.
The old man is injured, so he probably can’t go to Xindi.
The key point is that Li Banfeng can’t understand how this old hunter can survive until now?
"Excuse me for asking, which Taoist sect are you from?" Li Banfeng handed over another ten dollars. It is taboo to ask about one's Taoist sect, and one cannot let others ask for no reason.
The old hunter took the money and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'm a second-level physical cultivator, I'm a snakehead."
The earthworm is the same as the worm.
We really can't underestimate these creatures. Their self-healing ability alone makes Li Banfeng envious.
Although he could not go to the new place, the old hunter did not take Li Banfeng's money in vain. He drew a picture for Li Banfeng.
As a hunter who could not read a single word, the map he drew could not be accurate, but the meaning was clear.
"This mountain path is called Hulugou. It gets narrower and narrower at first, but then gets wider and wider. There are a lot of mosquitoes along the way, especially at Huluyao. There are so many mosquitoes, big and small, that you can't even open your eyes.
We must leave this place quickly. If we stay any longer, the blood in our body might be drunk dry.
After Hulugou, the next place is called Hongnigang, which is a swamp. You can't walk fast here and you have to be careful with every step. I saw a man who got stuck in Hongnigang. In less than half a pack of cigarettes, he was completely exhausted.
I am not afraid, I can climb out. If you don't have this ability, you need to bring a good walking stick and try to move forward little by little.
There is also the Tiexian River. If you want to cross it, you must not enter the water...
There is also Xiao Huangquan. This road is very dangerous and very long. You have to pay attention to the wind direction when walking...
After passing the Little Yellow Spring is the orange grove. The orange grove is a good place. You can eat oranges, but you have to follow the rules. Whether you can meet a blue-leafed poplar depends on your luck..."
The old hunter talked about all the places along the way and especially emphasized the issue of food.
"You can't bring too much food. This journey is dangerous. It's better to starve than to add burdens to yourself. When you get to the orange grove, there will be food."
Li Banfeng was very curious: "According to your method of travel, it will take a month to go back and forth. If you don't bring enough food, what will you eat on the road?"
The old hunter laughed and said, "I can eat soil. Different soils have different flavors. The mud from Hongnigang has the richest flavor. It tastes like it has been marinated with soy sauce. Even salt is saved."
Li Banfeng was convinced, said goodbye and left, returning to the warehouse to prepare expenses.
Ma Wu advised Li Banfeng: "Brother Li, the blue-leaf poplar is no longer in demand. It's not worth risking your life for it."
Li Banfeng didn't listen, so Ma Wu said helplessly: "It's okay if you don't want me to go, let Zuo Wugang follow you, so that you can take care of me on the way."
"What are you going to do if you let him follow me?" Li Banfeng hired Zuo Wugang because Ma Wu was too weak.
After packing his luggage, Li Banfeng set out early in the morning and ran all the way south to Hulugou.
There are so many mosquitoes here. It's more than ten miles away from Hulugou, and there are huge swarms of mosquitoes flying towards my face.
The old hunter had a hard time along the way because he had limited supplies. Li Banfeng, on the other hand, had the resources of the entire Lanyang Village behind him, plus the experience summed up by the old hunter, so he had much more means of dealing with the situation.
He took out a can from his backpack, poured out the grease in the can and smeared it on his body.
This is the oil refined from the nine-legged toad. This kind of toad likes to eat mosquitoes the most and can eat tens of thousands of them every day. When mosquitoes smell this smell, they will immediately take a detour. While the oil was still wet, Li Banfeng ran all the way. In less than half an hour, he ran out of the 30-mile-long canyon.
After leaving Hulugou and arriving at Hongnigang, Li Banfeng did not dare to be reckless. He slowed down his pace, used his Tang sword as a walking stick, and walked forward carefully relying on his ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune.
"The strings are suppressed and the sounds are full of thoughts, as if telling of my frustration in life. My lord, I am a famous swordsman. Is it appropriate for you to poke me into the mud?"
Li Banfeng used his Tang sword to test the road ahead and responded, "It's good as long as the artistic conception is reached."
Tang Dao shook off the mud all over his body and said, "What kind of artistic conception is this? What kind of artistic conception can there be in mud? My lord, you are humiliating your subordinates."
It took Li Banfeng more than five hours to walk through the fifteen miles of muddy land.
After passing Hongnigang, we arrived at Tiexian River. The dark river surface is more than 30 meters wide and flows from west to east.
Practitioners who can fly can fly over, while those who cannot fly have to find a way to use magic weapons or spiritual objects to get over.
But don't even think about swimming over there. Even a water cultivator can't swim over there.
Because there is no water in this river at all.
What is rushing in the river is not water, but densely packed wireworms.
Driven by some unknown force, these wireworms wriggle in one fixed direction. If someone steps into the "river", countless wireworms will drill into the flesh. They can drill into any place with holes, and they can also make a hole where there are no holes and drill in. The entire body will become a nest of the wireworms. The wireworms not only live in it, but also reproduce and branch out.
Li Banfeng can't fly, and he doesn't have any magic weapon that can make him fly.
His method of crossing the river was simple. He took out the key, opened the house, threw the key to the other side, and then came out of the house.
After crossing the Tiexian River, there is another wasteland. There is nothing special here, so we just run all the way.
After walking for sixteen hours, Li Banfeng had almost completed half the journey.
The reason why they walked so fast was, firstly, because Li Banfeng did not need to explore the way because there was a ready-made path provided by the old hunter; secondly, the speed of the second-level travel repair was indeed fast enough, and Li Banfeng was well prepared and was not burdened by the luggage. All his things were placed in his portable house and could be taken whenever needed.
At this rate, Li Banfeng doesn't have to walk for three days. As long as he keeps running, he will be able to reach the orange grove around two or three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
But he didn't plan to run anymore. The journey was very exhausting and Li Banfeng's legs were shaking.
Going home to spend the night is the basis of home cultivation and also the basic quality of a homebody.
After entering Suishenju, Li Banfeng took off his muddy clothes and sat next to the record player.
Clank, clank, clank~
The singer asked in a witty tone, "My husband is covered in dust. He must have gone to buy groceries."
"My dear, don't be so anxious. Tomorrow, I will definitely buy some top-quality dishes." Li Banfeng ate two cans of food and a box of biscuits and fell into a deep sleep.
The record player was very dissatisfied. While washing Li Banfeng's clothes with steam, he complained, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, every day is tomorrow. I gave him three levels of cultivation, but in the end he still starved!"
ps: Li Banfeng was not bragging. We are going to cross Xiaohuangquan tomorrow. It is really a good place to buy vegetables.
