Jinli Mountain is not too far from Fucheng. You can see the mountain from the city wall. If you hurry up, you can reach it in less than a quarter of an hour.
In the morning, at the foot of the Jinli Mountain, a team of chariots and horses was in full swing.
This is the team sent by the city to collect herbs. There are young and strong men, doctors, and officers and soldiers including the guards. There are more than 30 people in total.
The leading medical officer was Ji Yuangang, the guard's chief surname was Zhang and his name was Dawei. Their group was headed by these two people.
When he set off this morning, Ji Yuangang took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he had received the news reported by the herb collectors. There are many herbs in the Jinli Mountain to the northwest of the Fucheng, and a team of people can be sent to mine to relieve the urgent need.
After Wu Yuanjing heard it, he had no doubts and agreed.
Wang Yan and Lu Dongbin had already gone to two places for help at this moment. Naturally, it was difficult for them to take care of the affairs here.
Although the sword soul has an independent consciousness, as the soul of the sword, it cannot be too far away from the pure Yang sword. Unexpectedly.
Lu Dongbin had instructed in advance that once Ji Yuangang changed, Chunyang Sword could kill himself, and at this moment, it would hide in the dark.
This is equivalent to hanging a sharp sword on Ji Yuangang's head, and his life and life and death are all within his own thoughts.
At the foot of the Jinli Mountain, in an open area, everyone lined up.
"Everyone is ready. We will enter the mountain in a while. We are not familiar with the situation in the mountain. In order to prevent danger, remember not to act alone. After collecting the medicinal materials, we will meet here again."
Gathering all the strong men who came to collect the medicine, Ji Yuangang gave an order, and after some explanations, he let everyone disperse.
Ji Yuangang was carrying a medicine basket on his back. Although he looked old, there was no sense of slowness in his actions, just like a young and strong youth.
"Doctor Ji, the mountain road is steep. In my opinion, you should not go up the mountain. I will send two people to accompany you to wait at the foot of this mountain!"
Zhang Dawei, who was on the side, stepped forward and persuaded Ji Yuangang.
"Hahahaha! Is Zhang Shichang looking down on this old man? Since I'm here, let alone as your leader, how can I enjoy the leisure time alone? That's all! You don't have to worry about me, just follow them into the mountains to collect herbs as instructed, Now we are robbing Yan Wangye!"
Ji Yuangang laughed twice, and didn't take it seriously at all.
"This... Doctor Ji insists on doing this. I will send two neat-handed brothers to follow you. If something happens, I can help you out!"
"The Ronin from Douluo"
Zhang Dawei knew his character by heart. Once he decided something, he would never change it easily. After sighing, he simply stopped blocking it.
At his age, he should have followed Wu Yuanjing and the others, and stayed in the city honestly, diagnosing and treating patients, and even jointly researching medicines against the plague, but he was unwilling and insisted on leading the team up the mountain to collect medicines.
One is to act as an example, and the other is to take this opportunity to go out and breathe.
Among the several imperial physicians, except for Wu Yuanjing, he has the highest status. Naturally, no one can refute what he decides.
Besides, Wu Yunjing also agreed, so what other opinions can other people have? You can only follow well, protect well, and let him go.
Only a few of the people who were sent out to collect medicines were doctors. As for the rest, they were basically young men, apprentices in the medical center.
After all, there are still so many patients in the city who need to be taken care of. Basically every moment, there are people who are getting sicker and sicker dying. It is impossible to send a large number of doctors out, like going up the mountain to collect medicine. This kind of thing is naturally handed over to them.
When they entered the mountain this time, the medicinal materials they needed to take had been contacted in advance, and they knew that they didn't need to worry about efficiency at all.
Basically, as long as you see it, you will not miss it and you can pick it.
In the face of Zhang Dawei's arrangement, Ji Yuangang also expressed his understanding. He just nodded and did not refuse, and then he went to the mountains.
And Zhang Dawei stood there, looking at his leaving back in a trance.
As for the others, they are all in groups of three or five, and they do not dare to act alone. At the same time, each small group will be accompanied by one or two guards more or less, with bows, arrows, knives and other weapons on their backs to prevent accidents.
But he said that Ji Yuangang walked like the wind and entered the mountain in a short time, carrying a medicine basket on his back, a hoe in his left hand, but at some point in his right hand, he actually took out a compass from his arms, and his eyes were always looking at the compass. Pointer, while scanning around, searching carefully.
The two guards followed closely, not daring to relax in the slightest.
In the face of Ji Yuangang's strange behavior, although the two guards had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask questions. They only thought that this was a special method for them to find medicinal materials, and they were just doing their job well at the moment.
The forest is deep and leafy, covering the sky and the sun, making it look a little gloomy.
"Yeah ah..."
Suddenly, an old crow fluttered its wings and whined twice. I don't know if it was disturbed by their arrival, or for some other reason!
The originally quiet jungle now also gave birth to a strange wind.
The dust and leaves on the ground were all swept up by this strange wind, making it hard to open your eyes. The two guards couldn't help but raised their hands to protect their faces.
But for a while, they couldn't open their eyes again.
A dark shadow, like a ghost, silently came to the front of the two in an instant, pushed out with both hands, directly strangled their necks, and lifted the two with ease.
The two opened their mouths wide, their eyes wide open, and their faces were full of horror.
The person in front of him at this moment is a man in a fiery red robe, with a burly stature and a pair of ears that are very large, which are stretched out like a palm.
On the forehead, as well as the temples, are covered with a piece of red scales, at first glance, the appearance of a seven-point person, the appearance of a three-point demon.
They wanted to shout, but they couldn't, and they struggled.
The man suddenly opened his mouth wide and gave birth to a long bifurcated tongue, which instantly penetrated into one of them's throats, rolled his internal organs into the air, sucked the essence and blood all over his body, and directly reduced to a pair of skin sacs.
With a wave of his left hand, he threw the skin on the ground, and without any hesitation, he continued to suck the inner essence and blood of the guard above his right hand.
After a while, the red-robed man licked his lips with a satisfied expression.
"Right Protector? Please refer to Right Protector!"
Ji Yuangang, who was on the side, saw this person and immediately stepped forward with a very respectful demeanor.
The man in red robe sucked the visceral essence and blood of the two of them, and seemed to be still a little unfinished. At this moment, he heard the call, and he could not help but turn around slowly, overlooking Ji Yuangang under his feet, with a huge coercion, almost breathless .
