Chapter 86
Deep in Mount Taishan.
"Swoosh— Swoosh— Swoosh—"
A figure sped through the mountain forests.
Every distance he walked, he stopped, looking around and searching carefully.
The man was exactly Fang Qiu.
#
Fang Qiu tramped over hill and dale with his bag all the way, walking deeper and deeper.
He had walked deep into Mount Taishan.
"It’s strange!"
Stopping in a wooded mountain forest, Fang Qiu said to himself, "Here is already near the deepest place of Mount Taishan. Why didn’t I find the trace of any spirit beast along the way?"
In his view.
The guardian spirit beasts that were guarding the treasure generally hid themselves deep in the mountains where it was inaccessible. In principle, he should have found some clues since he had walked so deep in the mountain.
But along the way, he did meet many ordinary animals such as wild boar, sika deer, fox, but he had never found the signs of the spirit beast.
"I don’t know when I’ll find it."
He let out a sigh inwardly.
Fang Qiu continued moving on.
But just after walking a few meters, his pace suddenly paused while his eyes staring forward. There was a dead tree which had even started rotting under the damp invasion in the forest.
He took a careful look.
At the root of the rotten tree, there actually was a glossy dark red plant, like a cloud.
"Wild ganoderma lucidum?"
Fang Qiu’s eyes glowed with surprise.
He immediately stepped forward, squatting down in front of the ganoderma lucidum.
"A pair?"
As Fang Qiu squatted down, he found that beside the ganoderma lucidum that he saw, there was another ganoderma lucidum which was slightly smaller.
The male and female ganoderma lucidum.
Yes, there are male and female ganoderma lucidum.
As recorded in ancient books, ganoderma lucidum is also known as ganoderma in the forest and gem. It is the fruiting body of the terrestrial fungi in the family of polypores, which has the effect of invigorating Qi and calming nerves, relieving cough and asthma, and prolonging life.
And wild ganoderma lucidum is the ganoderma lucidum that naturally grows in the wild. In the world, there is a total of 300 kinds of wild ganoderma lucidums, but the most effective one is "ganoderma in the forest" that grows in the deep mountain forest. This wild ganoderma lucidum is known as the best ganoderma lucidum, whose medicinal value is very huge.
In the forest, the ganoderma lucidum of natural growth may be twins, one small and another big. These are commonly known as the female and male ganoderma lucidum.
Of course, the so-called male and female don’t refer to the gender of ganoderma lucidum, but to the leaves of ganoderma lucidum.
The big one is male and the small one is female.
Male and female ganoderma lucidum have similar shapes and have heavy fragrance, whose effect ofthe medicine is also better than common ganoderma lucidum.
After he watched for a while.
Fang Qiu immediately took out a small shovel from his bag, beginning to pick.
Since he was studying medicine, he naturally knew the way to collect ganoderma lucidum.
He held the handle of the ganoderma lucidum with one hand and used a small shovel to shovel gently the part three centimeters down from the cap with another hand, picking the ganoderma lucidum very easily.
The reason why he didn’t directly dig the ganoderma lucidum away was that he knew the wild ganoderma lucidum was precious and leaving the mycorrhiza could make it grow again.
Moreover, when ganoderma lucidum is collected, the cap of it can’t be held by hands, in case the spore powder will adhere to the back of the cap, which will cause the uneven color and luster of ganoderma lucidum and reduce the quality of ganoderma lucidum thereby.
After putting the ganoderma lucidum into his bag, he moved on.
"Although there is no sign of the spirit beast’s presence, there should be a lot of wild herbal medicine at this place."
Fang Qiu went deep into the mountain while looking around.
A moment later.
"Wild ginseng!"
Fang Qiu looked at the ordinary plant on the ground in surprise.
"Now, wild ginseng is very rare and most of the ginseng is artificial cultivation."
"I didn’t expect to run into one."
"How lucky I am!"
"Ginseng has the effect of nourishing the five internal organs, calming the nerves, calming the soul, stopping palpitations, eliminating the pathogen, brightening eyes, promoting happiness and increasing intelligence, lightening bodies and prolonging lives."
"Among the ginseng, the wild ginseng has the best effect of the medicine."
"I guess I can make a big fortune."
He walked over hastily.
Like before.
He used the shovel to pick the wild ginseng carefully with the roots still intact.
After that, he took out a plastic bag from his bag and wrapped it carefully before putting it into the bag.
"Autumn is the right season to pick wild ginseng in Mount Taishan."
With a slight smile.
Fang Qiu glanced over his shoulder. After making sure there was no other herb around, he moved on.
Before he had gone far, he found another wild ginseng.
And this one was bigger than the one he picked before.
Fang Qiu could not help expressing wonder at his luck.
"I’m so lucky!"
"Too awesome!"
"And I’m going
"This wild ginseng is bigger than the first one and they are both wild!"
The wild ginseng in Mount Taishan was an extremely famous herbal medicine all over the country. He did not expect to find so many of them.
"If I keep on searching like this, I may be able to collect enough money for the tuition of 300,000 yuan without using the treasure!"
After picking the wild ginseng smilingly, Fang Qiu moved on.
After walking for a long time, he did not find any other wild herbal medicine. Then he sped in.
Although the speed was very fast, Fang Qiu still kept observing around while traveling deep.
As a result.
As he tramped over hill and dale all the way, he collected another three ganoderma lucidum.
There was a total of three wild ganoderma lucidum and two wild ginseng.
He did pick a lot of herbs.
But he still hadn’t found any trace of the treasure.
This made Fang Qiu a little depressed.
"It’s not easy to find the treasure as expected."
With a wry smile, Fang Qiu continued to go deeper.
After another 2,500 meters.
"Woo…"
As Fang Qiu traveled fast, a low crying was suddenly heard by him.
"There is a voice?"
Fang Qiu immediately stopped at once.
He looked ahead.
He saw.
It was at the foot of a precipitous mountain. At the flank was a ramp-type stoneland that was wetted by water and looked rough but smooth.
Around the stoneland, there were patches of grass with very few trees around it.
And at this time.
A crowd was standing on the level ground in front of the stoneland.
They were all wearing windproof suits and protective gear, just like a traveling adventure team.
Among the group of people, there was a person lying on the stretcher that they used sticks and rattan to make by themselves. He was seriously injured seemingly.
When he took a careful look.
They were all unusually terrified. Several women of them were covering their faces and crying in low voices, daring not to look ahead.
And a few men standing at the forefront of the crowd were staring ahead with a scared look.
In front of them clearly stood a wolf!
The wolf was standing on the stoneland, leaning back slightly with its forelegs pressed backward. It stared at the adventure team with fixed eyes as if it was ready to hunt at any time.
The faces of the people from the adventure team were already covered with sweat.
Because someone in the team was injured, they did not dare to take rash actions. Once they irritated the wolf, it must cause a very serious consequence.
And according to the current situation, they just couldn’t run even they wanted.
Apart from the fact that someone had been hurt.
Who could run faster than a wolf?
Besides, there were women in the team.
When the group was at a loss and their bodies were a little stiff during the confrontation with the wolf.
"Awoo…"
The wolf turned its head suddenly as if it had sensed the danger.
It looked at the forest on the side, keeping his body lower. The growl from its throat seemed to be threatening him.
Upon seeing this.
The people of the traveling adventure team darkened their faces. They were watching out for the wolf while turning their heads to look into the forest that the wolf faced.
Just as they turned their heads.
A figure slowly walked out from the forest.
It was Fang Qiu.
Seeing Fang Qiu’s dressing.
The members of the adventure team were all shocked.
"How come a person suddenly appears in the mountain?"
"And he is a teenager alone!"
"The most troublesome thing is that since we have been in trouble, why is another person falling into the living hell?"
"The teenager is too stupid."
"He has obviously seen the situation. Why doesn’t he hide in the distance and scare the wolf away with a stone instead of presenting himself?"
"How stupid!"
The people of the adventure team all looked at Fang Qiu with their sad and even pitying eyes.
But the next moment.
They were all dumbfounded.
Because they found that after the boy came out of the forest and every time he made a step forward, the wolf, which looked so dreaded that it could not be resisted, would take a step back warily with a howl.
As if the boy was a terrible monster.
The members of the adventure team looked at Fang Qiu in amazement.
"Judging from his figure, the boy in front of us is neither thin nor strong."
"And judging from his appearance, the teenager doesn’t look fierce, which completely can’t scare the wolf away at all."
"And judging from his age and dressing, the teenager is clearly a student."
"Why is this wolf afraid of a student?"
The people were confused.
The women, who had been crying, immediately stopped crying when they saw this scene. Instead, they kept rubbing their eyes and a trace of expectation emerged in their red crying eyes.
He was the expectation of living!
"Patter!"
Fang Qiu stared at the wolf coldly and continued to take steps.
One step by another, he moved steadily forward.
But the wolf kept retreating, and soon, it retreated to the middle of the stoneland.
All of a sudden.
The wolf’s rear foot slipped and it fell on the stoneland. Then it got up immediately and sprang with four feet, rushing away with a howl.
As if it had met a monster!
Here.
Fang Qiu came right to the adventure team.
The coldness on his face disappeared, replaced with a smile.
"Are you all right?"
"You, you…?"
The leading man stared at Fang Qiu with a startled look, pointing at the spot where the wolf had been, as if he wanted to say something, but could not.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Asked one person who was trying to remain calm.
"Right, it’s at least a few dozen kilometers from downtown. How did you get in here without any equipment except a bag?"
One woman also plucked up the courage to ask aloud.
Everyone looked toward Fang Qiu.
With slight fear in their eyes.
They couldn’t help being afraid because the boy in front of them could scare the wolf away. Who was not afraid?
"And the appearance of the teenager is so strange."
"Why could he scare the wolf away when he came?"
"What’s more, the wolf was so afraid as if it had met an enemy. I’ve never heard of a wolf so cowardly."
"The wolf has left."
"But the teenager is still here!"
"Even the wolf was afraid of Fang Qiu, how can we not be afraid of him?"
"Besides, it’s deep in the mountain. If he really does anything to us, can we bear that?"
Facing the challenge of the adventure team.
Fang Qiu just smiled. He did not answer them because he couldn’t.
Instead, he directly turned to the man on the stretcher, frowning and asking, "What’s wrong with him?"
"When we pass by a cliff, he slipped and hurt his leg."
One woman summoned up the courage to reply.
"Let me see."
Without any other words, Fang Qiu stepped forward directly.
Someone tried to stop him, but before he moved, Fang Qiu had already come to the man who was carried by two men on the stretcher in the air.
