Chapter 1010 Just Speed
The little novice monk said regretfully: "Donor Lu, I studied biological sciences in college. After entering the temple, I was responsible for taking care of the biological environment around the temple. However, because of the steep mountain roads around the temple, I only conducted an on-site inspection once. So there is only one this road."
"Let me look at your map."
After hearing Lu Juefeng's words, the young novice monk immediately presented the map with both hands.
After a quick glance at the little novice's map, Lu Juefeng's brows instantly formed the word "Sichuan". Rather than saying this is a map, it is better to say that this is actually a simple drawing with the names of the surrounding mountains simply marked on it, Peak No. 1 and Peak No. 2 of Longyin Mountain. There is no scale on the map, so this little novice said it would take a day to reach Leech. Chi, I'm all talking based on impressions.
"Chang Sheng, bring your map."
"Yes." Chang Sheng unfolded the map, and Lu Juefeng compared the route map drawn by the novice monk himself with the terrain map around Longyin Temple prepared by Chang Sheng in advance.
Finally, Lu Juefeng marked two points on the map and finalized, "Let's go this way."
The little novice monk was a little worried, "This road looks very steep. Donor Lu, to be on the safe side, you'd better follow me."
Lu Juefeng glanced at the little novice monk lightly, "I don't need safety, I just want speed."
The little novice shrank his shoulders subconsciously. He heard that Donor Lu was the president of a listed company. He was indeed a noble man, and even his eyes were full of majesty. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "Amitabha, the abbot master said before leaving that this journey will all depend on the instructions of Donor Lu."
Lu Juefeng ordered everyone to rest where they were. After eating some compressed biscuits to replenish energy, everyone set off again.
This time, follow the route planned by Lu Juefeng.
As the little novice monk said, this road is very dangerous. The ground is very humid, and there is a kind of stickiness in the mud. When you step on it, it feels like the soles of your shoes will be glued off.
The young novice was wearing the most ordinary sports shoes. One of his feet got stuck in a mud puddle and his feet came out, but the shoes remained in place.
Everyone stepped on the muddy ground that no one had set foot on for many years, and forcibly carved a path.
Everyone was dirty after the long journey. Lu Juefeng was no exception. There was a large mud mark on the front of his jacket and countless mud spots on his trouser legs.
The most miserable thing was the little novice monk, whose whole body, except for his face and neck, was almost covered in mud.
He looked around and could hardly tell the difference between north, south, east, and west, and his eyes were a little confused, "Hey, does this look familiar?"
As he spoke, he stepped on something unknown and fell towards the opposite side again.
Chang Sheng, with sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed his collar and said, "Little master, please slow down, you are the one who fell the hardest along the way."
The little novice monk smiled awkwardly, "No, I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down, but I will try my best to identify the direction and help you find the herbs."
Lu Juefeng was silent and looked forward. Suddenly he raised his hand and said, "Don't make any sound."
The little novice monk was so frightened that he kept silent and did not even dare to take a breath. Chang Sheng and others raised their eyebrows solemnly and prepared for battle, as if they could meet again at any time.
The corner of Lu Juefeng's mouth curled up slightly, "There is the sound of water nearby." His voice was indifferent, but extremely firm.
After his reminder, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Chang Sheng said: "There seems to be a sound, but it's not very clear."
The little novice's eyes lit up, "I remembered that this place is very close to the Leech Pond, and we arrived. But it was too fast. I thought it would take dark to find this place."
The young novice monk looked at Lu Juefeng with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
Lu Juefeng looked at the sun that had moved to the west in the sky and said expressionlessly: "Keep walking and try to find all the herbs before dark."
"With a wise person like Donor Lu, the impossible will become possible." The little novice followed Lu Juefeng like a mud monkey.
Chang Sheng signaled to the other bodyguards behind him, and everyone continued on their way. He took a special look at the little novice monk. This little novice monk's ability to flatter people was excellent. If he stopped being a monk, he could study hard and then become Mr. Lu's second assistant. In this way, Ma Dong doesn't have to complain that he is as busy as a spinning top and has no time to find a girlfriend.
They walked through a rugged road of mud and rocks, and the sound of water became clearer and clearer.
Everyone was relieved, and Lu Juefeng continued to quicken his pace.
Victory was right in front of them. Chang Sheng and others mentioned the pace of catching up with Lu Juefeng. Although the young novice was extremely tired, he kept up.
The terrain in front turned into a gentle downhill slope, and then became steep again. I don't know who was behind, and my foot slipped. After falling, I happened to bump into the person in front. Everyone was in a hurry to find medicine, and they were very close to each other.
When one falls, he hits the person in front of him, and the person in front of him hits the person in front of him. Like toppling dominoes, after a tragedy occurs, there is no way to stop it.
When Lu Juefeng heard the wailing behind him, accompanied by the sound of rolling earth and rocks, he did not look back. When he was seven or eight meters away from the ground, he took a deep breath and jumped.
When he was close to the ground, he suddenly bent his knees, wrapped his hands around his knees, landed his shoulders on the ground before his feet, and rolled around with the help of inertia before he stabilized his body.
Not far away, on a steep slope, bodyguards rolled down one after another. Several skilled bodyguards imitated his method and jumped down in advance. After landing, they were not injured.
But most people had no time to react when the people above hit them, and almost fell straight down one after another.
From a distance of seven to eight meters, close to the height of a three-story building, they were caught off guard and fell, and everyone was more or less injured.
The little novice lay on the ground, hugging his legs, sweating profusely from the pain, "Oh, my legs."
Lu Juefeng half-crouched next to the little novice monk and checked his leg with his hand. "It's just a bruise, no fracture."
The little novice monk endured the pain and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Donor Lu. We are here, and this is the leech pond."
Lu Juefeng looked at the pool not far away. Although it was called a pool, it was more like a lake. The water was very dark. When he looked closer, he saw that there were a lot of leeches inside, making the water look very dark.
Lu Juefeng did not have trypophobia, but when he suddenly saw tens of thousands of leeches gathering together, his eyebrows lowered involuntarily.
"What kind of wild aquatic plants do I need?"
The little novice monk limped over and whispered: "Donor Lu, you are standing at the bottom of the leech pond. Don't rush into the water to pick. These leeches stay peacefully in the water without being disturbed by outsiders. Once frightened, they may It can swim out of the water. Although this thing is not poisonous, it can suck human blood and is disgusting. Oh, what am I talking about, Amitabha, sin, sin, sin."
