Chapter 94 Finale

"Don't worry, go back and make inquiries and collect some information."

Fang Zhixing quickly started to think twice.

The camp is where hunters gather. Hunters roam the restricted areas every day and are well-informed. You can ask them for information.

at dusk.

The two people and the dog successfully walked out of the restricted area and returned to the camp safely.

Soon, it got dark.

Each hunting team returned to the camp one after another.

Some people have gained a lot and are smiling.

Some people came back with a frown and disappointment.

Fang Zhixing and Liang Buqing acted separately and inquired about the news.

"I have heard of Tiansha grass. In the past few years, some people paid a high price to buy this exotic flower, but I don't know where Tiansha grass can be found."

"In the black wind restricted area, well, it seems that no one has found the Tiansha grass."

"Yes, I heard that someone found Tiansha Grass in the Black Wind Restricted Area several years ago, but I don't know where they found it."

"Yin snake blood, what is that? I have only heard of 'yin ghost snake', 'pubic louse snake', and 'yin black python'."

…

After walking around for a while, Fang Zhixing didn't gain much and made little progress.

Soon, Fang Zhixing met a passerby by chance and accidentally learned from him that there was an old man in the camp. No one knew his name. Because of his hunchback, everyone called him "Old Hunchback".

This old hunchback has been in various restricted areas all his life. He is well-informed and eloquent. As long as you ask him for information, you will be sure.

Fang Zhixing was overjoyed and immediately went to the place where the old hunchback lived.

The door is locked and no one is there.

Fang Zhixing asked the neighbor next door and learned that the old hunchback was a heavy drinker and liked to drink two glasses of wine every day. He would go to a small wine shop as soon as it got dark and would not come back until he was drunk.

So, Fang Zhixing turned around and went to the small wine shop.

as expected!

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a stooped old man in the corner, wearing a gray pointed hat, sitting alone with a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, tasting by himself.

Fang Zhixing sat across from the old hunchback and looked at it carefully.

The old hunchback had a wrinkled face and white hair, and his whole body exuded the aura of a dying tree.

He slowly raised his head. He was already half drunk, and his eyes were cloudy, giving people the feeling of being old and dizzy.

"Old senior, I want to ask you something."

Fang Zhixing bowed his hand.

Hearing this, the old hunchback looked at Fang Zhixing in confusion, listlessly, and did not say anything for a long time. He only reached out to grab the wine bottle and shook it twice.

There's not much wine left in the pot.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing waved to the boss and said, "Bring me a jar of wine, and I want the best."

"okay!"

The boss was overjoyed. He immediately brought a jar of wine and shouted at the top of his voice, "A jar of apricot flower wine, the fragrance will spread for ten miles. It is the best aged wine in our store."

Fang Zhixing took it, brought over a large bowl, and filled it up for the old hunchback himself, replacing his small wine cup.

The old hunchback was already smiling and nodded: "Seeing that you are so sincere, if you want to know anything, just ask."

Fang Zhixing immediately asked: "Have you ever heard of the two things Tiansha Grass and Yin Snake Blood?"

Hearing this, the old hunchback took a big sip of wine, then smacked his mouth and said, "Tsk, tsk, this apricot flower wine is more fragrant, not harsh on the throat, and is the most comfortable to drink."

Fang Zhixing waited patiently.

After a while, the old hunchback finally replied: "Tiansha grass, the longest leaves are no longer than the index finger, egg-shaped and lanceolate.

The stem is cylindrical, yellow when dry, has fine longitudinal stripes, and is nearly hairless.

It tastes sweet, pungent, slightly bitter, and neutral in nature. Its medicinal effect is to strengthen bones and has excellent curative effect on fractures, so it is also known as "Elder Grass". "

Nest grass!

It’s so detailed!

Living dictionary, this old man!

Fang Zhixing quickly asked: "Where can I collect Tiansha grass? Is there a black wind restricted area?"

The old hunchback responded: "There used to be wild grass in the Black Wind Restricted Area, and there were quite a lot of it, but over the years, it has been harvested extensively, and it may have disappeared.

After all, Tiansha grass has high medicinal value and is in short supply on the market. Anyone who sees it must pick it and sell it.

Well, even if there are still some Tiansha grass in the Black Wind restricted area, they are mostly located in the relatively remote and secret corners of the corner.

Unless you organize a large number of people to search all over the place, it is almost impossible to find it. "

Fang Zhixing sighed, slightly disappointed, and asked, "What about other places?"

The old hunchback raised two fingers and said slowly: "I will provide you with two ways. First, you can go to the county town and participate in the 'Tianbao Auction' organized by the 'Tianbao Chamber of Commerce', which is held every month. Once in a while, some supplies that are in short supply on the market may appear at the auction.”

Fang Zhixing was silent for a while and said thoughtfully: "The price at this kind of auction must not be low."

The old hunchback nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's very expensive, so you'd better bring more golden beans."

Only then did he realize that he had done it, so he asked: "Where is the second doorway?"

The old hunchback took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and said carefully: "You can try your luck in the third-level restricted area. Tiansha grass grows in sunny places with heavy moisture and high temperature."

Fang Zhixing took note of it and asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of Yin snake blood?"

The old hunchback raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Snake blood? This thing is very unpopular. I haven't heard anyone mention it in many years."

Fang Zhixing cheered up and quickly poured wine for the old hunchback.

The old hunchback smiled happily and said, "Have you ever heard of the 'Three Flower Snake'?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head.

The old hunchback explained: "Three-flowered snake, as the name suggests, is a snake with three colors on its body. The most common three-flowered snake has green scales, a snow-white abdomen, and red spots on the snake's head."

Fang Zhixing blinked and said: "The blood of the three-flowered snake is the Yin snake blood?"

"No, no!"

The old hunchback waved his hand, "To be precise, only the blood of a special three-flowered snake can be called Yin snake blood!

That kind of three-flowered snake is pitch black with a white spot on the forehead, and the intersection of black and white is transparent!"

Fang Zhixing was surprised. This three-flowered snake with a disproportionate black and white has a sense of yin and yang.

The old hunchback continued: "This kind of three-flowered snake is relatively rare. It likes yin but not yang. It is rumored that they will die if they encounter sunlight, so they live in extremely yin places all their lives."

After hearing this, Fang Zhixing instantly confirmed that he had found the right person.

The blood of the spirit deer is the blood of aphrodisiac, and the blood of the Yin snake is obviously the opposite of it.

Fang Zhixing asked carefully: "Where can I find this special three-flowered snake?"

The old hunchback said seriously: "I'm afraid you have to go to the third-level forbidden area. Many years ago, I heard that someone caught this three-flowered snake in the 'Yinfeng Valley'."

Fang Zhixing was refreshed, thanked the old hunchback, and then got up and left.

He returned to the guest room, and soon Liang Buqing also came back.

He mentioned: "I heard from a hunter that he had a friend who picked Tiansha grass in the third-level forbidden area. There is a hot spring near that place, and it spurts out boiling spring water."

Fang Zhixing was surprised when he heard it: "Coincidentally, Tiansha grass happens to like places with heavy humidity and high temperature."

Liang Buqing spread his hands and said: "Having said that, it means you have to go to the third-level forbidden area, which is more than ten times more dangerous than the Black Wind Forbidden Area."

Fang Zhixing didn't care. Anyway, he had to go to this third-level forbidden area.

Without further ado, the two packed their bags, checked out of the guest room, rode out of the camp and returned to the county town.

Xigou couldn't help but say, "You're leaving now, without saying goodbye to Duan Caiyan?"

Fang Zhixing said indifferently, "It's just a fleeting romance. If we are destined to meet, we will meet. If we are not destined to meet, we will be old friends. Why do we have to know each other before we meet?"

"Rough!"

Xigou couldn't help but grin, "Although I am a little philanthropic, you are the real beast."

Fang Zhixing looked indifferent.

Da Da Da~

The horses' hooves were brisk, and the two tall horses were galloping freely on the official road.

Before they knew it, they had traveled more than 350 miles.

Suddenly, something happened in front of them.

There was a huge fire burning beside the road.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt barbecue.

Fang Zhixing looked closely and his face changed.

Liang Buqing was also shocked and exclaimed: "Oh my God, how come so many people died?"

The fire was not burning firewood, but corpses, piled up into a mountain, definitely more than a hundred people.

Next to the fire, there was a group of people constantly carrying corpses and throwing them into the flames.

Fang Zhixing didn't know that group of people, but the corpses they were carrying were all in tattered clothes, unkempt, and obviously all refugees, and there were men, women, old and young.

Liang Buqing took a closer look and suddenly said: "It turns out that they are from the Xiaodao Gang."

Fang Zhixing squinted and said: "Do you know him?"

Liang Buqing said: "Have you heard of Wang Xiaodao? He was originally just a small gangster on the street. He was cruel and liked to stab people with a knife. He committed many vicious crimes.

But somehow, he got in touch with Xu Xiangzhu, worshipped Xu Xiangzhu as his godfather, and then changed his name to Xu Xiaodao, formed the Xiaodao Gang, and now works for Xu Xiangzhu."

Xuan pointed to Xu Dazhi...

Fang Zhixing understood, turned his horse's head, walked over, and showed his identity token.

"It's Master Fang Xiang, hello, sir!"

The members of the Xiaodao Gang were quite polite, and they bowed their heads politely.

Fang Zhixing asked: "What's going on? Where did so many dead people come from?"

A young man replied angrily: "Your Excellency doesn't know, when one of our grain trucks passed by here, it was suddenly looted by a group of mobs, and several of our brothers were injured. We had to kill them all."

Fang Zhixing understood that it was already November, the weather was getting colder, and food was getting harder to find, so the behavior of the mobs was naturally getting more intense and extreme.

He nodded and said: "Brothers, you have worked hard, you keep busy."

"Master Fang Xiang, have a good journey, farewell Master Fang Xiang!"

The people of the Xiaodao Gang shouted in unison.

Soon, Fang Zhixing and Liang Buqing arrived at the county town. After entering the city, they went to the Casting Weapon Hall first.

Fang Zhixing paid Liang Buqing the remuneration, and then gave him a deposit, asking him to be available at any time when he went to the third-level restricted area next time.

Liang Buqing naturally wanted this and readily agreed.

To be honest, Liang Buqing would run away as soon as he encountered danger, and would hide as far as he could. His professional quality was questionable. If it were someone else, they would definitely look down on him.

But it was precisely because of his stable character that he was able to enter and exit the restricted area safely more than 50 times.

Moreover, Fang Zhixing had too many secrets that he could not see anyone, and Liang Buqing's style of getting out of here at any time was very suitable for him.

Afterwards, Fang Zhixing returned to the county government office and first checked his archery camp. After confirming that everything was normal, he returned to the other courtyard to rest.

Lying on the bed.

The fatigue accumulated over the past few days slowly came over him, and he fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Fang Zhixing sat at the table, thinking carefully about the trip to the Black Wind Forbidden Land, and sorting out the whole process.

This is his personal habit, to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, leaving no hidden dangers.

Then he and Xigou compared it, and both felt that there were no major omissions.

In short, this trip can be said to have ended perfectly!

Xigou couldn't help asking, "When do you plan to go to the Level 3 restricted area?"

Fang Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "The Level 3 restricted area is more dangerous. We must improve our strength."

Xigou said speechlessly, "You are already so strong. You can sweep the same level in the Great Python Realm. How can you improve it?"

Fang Zhixing said, "My personal strength has reached the top, but I can still improve my equipment.

For example, the arrows are not sharp enough to shoot through the scaled beasts such as the unicorn tiger and the four-eyed crocodile.

In addition, the quality of the broadsword is too poor. A more powerful sword must be prepared."

Xigou understood and reminded, "This is easy to do. You are the incense master of the Weapon Casting Hall. It's not a matter of a word to get a few handy weapons."

Fang Zhixing thought so too.

After noon, one man and one dog rode out on horseback to the Weapon Casting Hall.

Halfway through the journey, the street ahead was blocked.

Two luxurious carriages collided with each other, neither giving way.

The driver and his followers were furious and fought each other, causing chaos for a while.

In front of the carriage, there was a woman standing, dressed very gorgeously, inlaid with gold and jade, and wearing fashionable clothes, highlighting her nobleness.

"Oh, who is fighting with whom?"

"I know, one is the second wife of Xu Xiangzhu of Zhubingtang, and the other is also from Zhubingtang, the concubine of Ye Xiangzhu."

"I have heard that the two Xiangzhu of Zhubingtang dislike each other, but I didn't expect that their women also dislike each other."

"Isn't it?"

...

There were many onlookers, watching the excitement and pointing.

Fang Zhixing was speechless for a while, it turned out that these two wives were causing trouble.

He looked at the two women carefully. They looked very pleasing to the eye, but a little weak, and might not be able to withstand intense exercise.

Seeing that the two sides were making a fuss and it would not end in a short time, Fang Zhixing planned to bypass it.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, a horse rushed over from behind.

Fang Zhixing looked back and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The person riding on the horse was Luo Qianqian, still dressed as a man.

She didn't notice Fang Zhixing at all, glanced at the carriage blocking the road, and frowned.

"Go~"

Luo Qianqian didn't stop and continued to drive the horse forward.

The onlookers hurriedly avoided and made a way.

Luo Qianqian rode in front of the carriage and shouted: "Who is blind, get out of here quickly."

The two women and their servants all stopped and turned their heads to look at them.

"Oh, whose girl is this? Who is she trying to seduce dressed like this?"

The second wife of the Xu family looked at Luo Qianqian, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and smiled disdainfully.

"That's right, who is saying that you don't have eyes?"

The concubine of the Ye family also came over and said sternly: "Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs and see if you still have eyes?"

The two of them were still at loggerheads just now, but because of Luo Qianqian's provocative words, they instantly formed a united front.

The strange thing is that they didn't even know Luo Qianqian.

"Now it's going to be a good show."

Fang Zhixing tilted his mouth and watched coldly.
