I didn't make a sound, completely ignoring Mr. Gong, and trudged upwards in silence.
He always acts without a care in the world, always causing trouble.
"It's really difficult with the young lady. You don't want the witch lady, but the Ice Mountain Lady is favored by Master and Mrs. Husband, and Master Brother loves her. If Wuling ravages her, you won't have a place to cry."
I still ignored Mr. Gong, but to my surprise, he floated right in front of my face with a very serious expression.
"You like female ghosts and corpses, let Fan Jie arrange more for you. If you like human nourishment, find some ordinary women. Don't come randomly, and it's fine. Don't meddle in my affairs," I spoke with a serious tone.
"My lord, it's not that I meddle too much, but I'm afraid that when you see the coffin, it will be too late to shed tears," said Gong with a shrill tone. After this sentence, he remained silent and returned to my shoulder.
Beside my silence, I also felt a sense of frustration within me.
I cannot describe this feeling.
Gong's starting point is correct, and my starting point is wrong, isn't it?
No one can know the outcome if you don't try the matter.
"If there is truly a danger, I will stay away from her," I said with a somewhat dull tone.
"Once enlightened, everything will be fine." Gong's face lit up with a good look, and he began to hum an obscene tune.
The process of climbing the mountain thereafter was very quiet, with the sound of insects chirping softly, and occasionally some wild animals would rustle by. The environment of this qushan is indeed pleasant.
Just that the mountain peak is too high, it's definitely impossible to climb the mountain at this time of the night.
Before the sky turned light, the originally cool night suddenly added a hint of warmth. Even Gong let out two contented hums.
He suddenly muttered, "Lord, may I have a look up here?"
Stopping in my tracks, I stood still, and Gong disappeared into my shoulder. Without a moment's hesitation, he skillfully extracted a compass from his waistband and gazed down at it.
With a smacking sound, Gong controlled my body and shifted from the normal path, walking sideways up the mountain slope towards the right.
This walk lasted for about one or two hours.
When Gong stopped, the place was filled with ficus trees, delicate roots hanging down from the top, swaying continuously in the wind.
The ground was scattered with rugged rocks, covered with moss, and even some medicinal herbs could be found in the cracks of the stones.
Although the light was dim, the view here was extremely clear, and the air was filled with a pleasant aroma of medicine.
Gong muttered, thinking that this was some kind of sacred place, but it turned out to be just some medicinal herbs. It was boring, so he left me.
Just then, a trace of fish belly white crossed the horizon, replacing the night with day.
I stopped and sat on a broken piece of wood, took out a packet of compressed biscuits, ate as I went, scanning the surroundings all around.
Gong felt that there was nothing interesting here, but in fact, it wasn't. It was just that I didn't recognize the medicinal herbs, probably some rare and precious medicinal materials here.
The food and medicine given by He Youtian have greatly changed my situation.
"Juyu Mountain... Wuji..." My pupils contracted, and I murmured to myself.
"Youyang used the news of Jiuju Mountain's Wuji to trade for the 28th prison. The Wuji must be on this mountain, but I don't know."
I can't contact Xu Jian and Fei Fang, and adding to that, I played a trick on them. At this moment, they haven't returned to the infernal realm. Even if I can contact them, they won't reveal any information.
The compressed biscuit was stuck in my throat, so I found some leaves of medicinal herbs.
These are quite ordinary, even the old crooked village has them, and I recognize all of them. The dew is abundant on top, so I rolled up a grass leaf to collect the dew and took a sip. After picking about ten leaves, I was also quenched my thirst.
Not wanting to waste any more time, I prepared to head back on the normal mountain path.
As I stood up, by some mysterious force, I looked in the direction of two rocks, which were slightly gilded under the sunlight.
The terrain here was moist, and all the rocks were covered with moss. However, those two rocks were spotless.
The important thing is not this; it's a patch of translucent greenness, nestled in the crevices of the stones!
My breath momentarily halted, and I stepped quickly in the direction of that spot. I passed through a terrain of protruding rocks, and arrived at those two rocks.
The stones were arranged in a 'person' shape, as if they had formed it together. The water flowed from the crevices, dripping downwards.
It's probably because there are grooves on the stones that have collected morning dew.
The water at the bottom... It falls onto the bottom of the crevice, and there's something strange growing there, tightly pressed against the crevice, as if it were a nose!
Translucent greenness, yet it gives a sense of rich fragrance!
My heart gave a sudden jump!
The feeling this thing gives me is absolutely not simple. It surpasses the White Glue from Zhongshan Mountain that I've ever encountered, and is even more extraordinary than any kind of medicinal material that He Youtian has shown me!
This must be a good medicine!
Reaching out, I was about to pluck the medicinal herb.
Suddenly, a green shadow flashed across the medicinal herb.
The green color was too fast, as if it were lightning, and I had no time to evade.
It bit me steadily on the palm, and I shook my hand to send it flying! There were two obvious blood holes on my palm, and the blood was flowing out in profusion.
The next second, the blood clotted and began to turn dark red, and then black...
My palm turned black, and the speed was amazing!
Suddenly, a feeling of faintness hit me. I immediately took a kneeling position to maintain stability and calm down.
The dizziness felt like waves continuously surging up...
I didn't know how long I sat like that. When I opened my eyes, I felt normal again.
The sunlight was blazing and bright, close to noon.
Looking down, I saw a small snake quietly lurking beside the herb that looked like a nose, continuously flicking its tongue and hissing.
I exhaled lightly, extended my two fingers, and gripped it at the seven-inch mark. It writhed and trembled wildly in my hand.
I exerted all my strength and forcefully threw it away towards a distant direction!
The green shadow flashed, and the snake fell into the forest.
I picked up the jade-like herb from the crevice again, turned it over, and found that the bottom had a cap-like feel of a mushroom, but it was not completely open.
After pondering for a moment, I took out the long wooden box, opened it, and placed the herb inside. It did not affect the thin smoke sticks within.
At this moment, Gong appeared.
At noon, he could appear for a moment.
Gong's eyes widened, and he stared intently at the medicinal herb.
"Master... what is this?" Gong muttered.
"I don't know, I'm even more in the dark. However, it can't be a simple item. Take it back and give it to Master Brother." A smile appeared on my face.
Gong's eyes twinkled as he seemed to be thinking something.
Suddenly, he swallowed and widened his eyes in disbelief.
"The scoundrels from Youyang Residence have searched for the old Wu, who is famous. They asked Old Wu to find the Wuji on Juyu Mountain, but Old Wu refused."
"I remember now... They've mentioned that the five Wuji are respectively the first Dragon Immortal, second Ginseng cultivation, third Swallow's egg, fourth Night Light Cave Nose, and fifth Jade Nose."
"Master, we've struck it rich! If we eat the five Wuji, it will be a hundred times more effective than drinking Tian Gong Spring!"
"You want to give it to Old He's head? I suggest you eat it yourself." Gong kept licking his lips, his eyes full of encouragement and anticipation.
