Chapter 283 Kannon vine
But every step I took was as if I had fifty or sixty pounds of lead tied to my body, and my feet were extremely heavy. It's clearly a punishment!
The three girls who walked in front turned around in a few steps, looking at Ma Chengfeng and the difficult steps in surprise.
"Little fox, what are they playing? Your cousin is extremely light, why is his physical fitness so poor today? Chang Xiaoman asked.
The little raccoon dog said that if this is a naturally formed place where 'yin' gathers, then this scene must be a strange plant growing in a corner of the mountain, which gathers the 'yin' qi in the earth's veins, and the underground roots are connected to the core of the extreme 'yin'. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be called Huangquan vine, Huangquan vine blooms every 100 years, and when it blooms, it needs to absorb the nearby nutrients and yang energy. You see, Cheng Feng and Na Xiu's feet are like lead, and they are being sucked by the strange plants.
"They are already in good health, if they were ordinary men, I am afraid they would have collapsed and would not have been able to get up." Hu Xiaoci explained.
"Huang Quanteng?" Ma Ya's eyes widened when she heard these three words, and she exclaimed.
Her grandfather once told her about this strange plant, which gathers the 'yin' energy in the earth's veins, and absorbs the nutrients and yang energy under the nearby soil when it blooms, so its 'flowers' and fruits have high 'medicinal' value. The old customers call this thing "Guanyin vine", and the Guanyin vine they are talking about is not the common Guanyin vine that grows in the mountains of the sub-cold region, and this name has a origin.
According to legend, if this vine plant reaches the age of a thousand years, the fruit of the "flower" is like a young "woman", the fruit is like "meat" not "meat" like fruit is not fruit, plus there is a "flower" tray below, this "flower" holder is very similar to the legendary Guanyin Master's lotus "flower" seat. Therefore, it is also called "Guanyin vine".
Ma Ya shouted: "Little fox, let's look for it quickly, the fruit of the Guanyin vine can replenish yang energy, as long as they eat it, they will be able to recover their physical strength immediately, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to climb this mountain." ”
The three 'girl' children hurriedly divided up to look for it, but this stone mountain is not big or small, and it is several miles in radius, how easy is it to find a piece of grass and vines? There were black bumps of stone everywhere, and the walkways were panicked.
Ma Chengfeng and Na Xiu's fatigue became more and more intense, if they hadn't supported each other, and no one was willing to give in first, I'm afraid they would have sat down a long time ago. But both of them have light skills, and they must be much stronger than ordinary people's endurance, so they just insist on not letting go.
Chang Xiaoman climbed a huge rock cliff and looked towards the top of the West Mountain, and saw that there seemed to be a mountain 'hole' in front of him from a distance, and nothing could be seen in the black inside the mountain 'hole', but there were many crows and other birds gathered in front of the mountain 'hole'. The birds were not afraid of people, and when she approached, she did not see them scattering and fleeing, but quacked at her, as if to warn her not to come any further.
If the ordinary mountain 'hole' is dead-hearted, there is no air flow in it, and it will become the nest 'hole' of those beasts, and the smell of rancid smell will be inside; if this 'hole' or 'hole' has other exits, there will be a 'yin' wind blowing outward. But what was obviously blowing out of this mountain 'cave' was not a cool air, but a 'tidal' breath, and she could vaguely smell the fragrance of vegetation 'flowers' in the air on her face.
But she was still not sure that the Guanyin vine was growing in the rock 'hole', and it was so dark that she couldn't see anything, so she took off her backpack, which was filled with a few torches, and the torches were all wrapped with pine oil and cloth strips on the top of wooden sticks. She lit a torch and threw it into the cave. The entrance to the rock 'cave' suddenly became as bright as day.
The mouth of this rock 'hole' is small and narrow, and the inside is open, as if a person is pouting. The entrance of the 'cave' was covered with many strange crystals, and it was impossible to tell what kind of rock mass it was, but after throwing the torch into it, it immediately 'shooted' five 'colored' colorful lights, illuminating the surrounding area.
Chang Xiaoman picked up a thick branch from the ground to drive away the birds, those birds are not afraid of people at all, as long as the branches do not 'pump' to the body, they will not run, and Chang Xiaoman Every time he takes a few steps forward and gets a little closer, those birds will open their mouths and chirp non-stop.
The air in the forest is relatively humid in summer, but this stone mountain has become very dry due to the special topography of the 'yin' land, but the rock 'cave' is relatively moist, so it has become a habitat for birds. The ground in front of the 'hole' was covered with bird droppings, layer after layer, and it was slippery when you stepped on it.
There is a flammable substance in the bird droppings, so when the torch hits the ground, a flame ignites again.
Chang Xiaoman stood at the mouth of the 'hole' and took a look inside, there was a lot of space inside, and there seemed to be some kind of green 'colored' vegetation growing on those strange-shaped spars, but unfortunately, it was not the Guanyin vine that Ma Ya said. However, only the environment in this rock 'cave' is suitable for vegetation growth, and if there is really a Guanyin vine, it must be among them.
She stepped on the small flame under her feet, picked up the torch and walked a few steps inside, the air in the "hole" ** was "damp" and wet, and there was wind, although the air was fresh enough, but the wind was not small, and a "yin" wind struck, blowing out Chang Xiaoman's flashlight.
When she was at the mouth of the 'hole' just now, she had already identified the direction, and seeing that there was no danger and no 'waste' of batteries in the flashlight, she 'touched' the black and leaned against the edge of the rock 'hole' and began to 'grope' inside.
I hadn't walked a few steps, but suddenly I felt like I had stepped on something hard, and I stumbled and fell. Fortunately, Xiao Man is not one of those delicate ladies in the city, she stood up with the pain in her knees, she tried to kick with her feet, and the things under her feet were round, and she kicked them, grunting...... Get out. Odd...... What is it?
She quickly took off the flashlight from her waist and turned on the flashlight in the direction of the ...... I couldn't help but gasp......
It was none other than a miserable white skull that tripped over me just now. In Bai Sensen's skull, disgusting maggots came and went. If you look closely, there are still a few human bones in the corner of the entrance to this rock 'cave', these people don't know how long they have been dead, their clothes have long been tattered, some have bows and crossbows around them, some have rusty shovels in their hands, but their skulls are separated from their bodies and necks, and they are lying aside. It seems to have been cut down by something before he died.
Chang Xiaoman is much more daring and careful than the 'girl' of the same age, after all, she is a 'girl' of the rivers and lakes, and in the past year, she has often followed Ma Chengfeng and them around for an adventure, and after calming down, she leaned down to carefully examine the condition of these bones. At first, she thought it might have been a war here countless years ago, and it was a few Xianbei corpse soldiers who had taken refuge in it, and then the pursuers had cut off their heads.
