Main Text Chapter 7 Scholar (Part 3)
The scholar nodded and smiled, "Meeting is fate, so this is a gift for you to keep as a souvenir."
Before they had said a few words, and before they even knew each other's origins, he gave something? Miao Yi felt that this person was a little strange, but the thing seemed to be good, maybe it was worth some money, so he would rather give it than not.
So he took the thing in his hand, put it on his neck in a generous manner, and thanked him on the spot.
The scholar turned and walked to the edge of the cliff, his cloak and hair fluttering in the clouds, like a fairy, with an extraordinary temperament.
He lowered his eyes to look at the hillside below the cliff, where there were five plants emitting a faint halo. They were the 'Xinghua' fairy grass that practitioners regarded as a holy medicine for healing, and it was also one of the things Miao Yi wanted to get this time.
However, the scholar, who had his back to Miao Yi, flicked his finger at the hillside, and three of the five fairy grasses were instantly turned into dust by an inexplicable force, leaving only two.
What many people dream of was destroyed by him in a flick of his finger.
It was not for anything else, just because Miao Yi said that he had three brothers and sisters, so he only left two plants, and it depends on how Miao Yi chooses.
The scholar pointed to the mountainside and said without turning his head: "Little brother, come and see."
Miao Yi was still alert to this strange man, and he never put down the butcher knife in his hand. He walked to his side and kept a distance. He looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he said in a lost voice: "Fairy grass, it is fairy grass." And there are two plants.
But soon he realized something was wrong, turned his head and stared at the scholar and asked: "Why don't you pick it? Aren't you here to find treasure?"
"Climbing up and down will easily dirty your clothes."
The scholar threw a ridiculous reason and turned away.
Miao Yi opened his mouth and was speechless, watching the scholar's back walking away, and finally understood why the other party was so clean. He came to this place where all the grass and trees were carbonized, and it would be black if he rubbed it casually, but he could still be spotless. It turned out that he had a mysophobia.
But Miao Yi still felt suspicious. Why would he risk his life here if he was afraid of getting dirty? Is there any conspiracy?
"Where are you going?" Miao Yi chased him to the steps, looked at the scholar's figure floating down the mountain, and shouted, "Let's go together?"
"The road of immortal heroes has not yet ended, the sea of blood is endless and the white bone boat is boundless! Little brother, see you again if we are destined to meet again."
The scholar's voice came from afar.
Miao Yi subconsciously looked back at the words left on the boulder behind him, and then looked back down the mountain, and found that the scholar's figure had disappeared in the mist.
He didn't have the mind to think about anything else now, no matter if he had a conspiracy or not, he would pick the two immortal herbs first.
He turned around and ran to the edge of the cliff, put the butcher knife on his waist, and used all four limbs to carefully climb down the cliff.
The mountain was not very steep, and Miao Yi successfully touched the two immortal herbs, his eyes shining, and his heart pounding with excitement.
Along the way, he witnessed how many people fought to the death for this thing, and how many people died for a piece of fairy grass. Now he found two at once, it was hard not to be excited.
He had seen the fairy grass that Yan Beihong had snatched before, but it was not as big as the two in front of him.
Miao Yi, who was leaning against the cliff, was in no mood to appreciate the two fairy grasses he had just picked, because the scholar's generosity made him a little worried, so he quickly tore a piece of cloth to wrap the two fairy grasses and hid them in his arms.
After confirming that they were placed securely, he just climbed up a little and suddenly felt the wind and clouds surging beside him.
Is it windy? Looking back, he was almost scared to death.
He saw a two-meter-long mantis flapping its wings and flying behind him, with the green eyes on its triangular head staring at him, and its sharp chewing mouthparts kept cutting.
It's over! Miao Yi looked down at the lake at the foot of the mountain. It was better to fight than to die. He made up his mind, loosened his hands and feet, and jumped down directly.
Just when he was about to hit the lake, he found that his body suddenly stopped and flew up again.
Miao Yi was mad. His fingers had already reached the water surface. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the lake surface twice. He really wanted to dive into the lake, but his body was still quickly away from the lake surface that was within reach.
The dark mantis actually "rescued" Miao Yi who was about to jump into the lake to "commit suicide". Four limbs with barbs held Miao Yi and quickly flew across the lake.
After finally picking two immortal herbs, who knew that he fell into the hands of the dark mantis again.
Miao Yi wanted to cry. He pulled out the butcher knife on his waist and chopped the limbs holding him twice, hoping to make the dark mantis let go and let him fall into the lake again.
With two clangs, the butcher knife actually cut sparks on the dark mantis limbs, just like cutting on iron, without leaving any traces, but instead causing the fast-flying dark mantis to look down at its abdomen.
Stared at by the terrifying green eyes, Miao Yi, who was holding the butcher knife, froze. He put down the knife and didn't dare to chop anymore, fearing that he would be strangled to death.
The flying speed of the Dark Mantis suddenly increased, the clouds and mist flew away, and the strong wind blew Miao Yi so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes. He was shivering with cold.
I don't know how long I flew. When I felt that the speed slowed down, I just opened my eyes and found that the Dark Mantis suddenly swooped down at a low altitude.
It was about to hit the ground, and Miao Yi's heart was in his throat.
The Dark Mantis suddenly turned up in the air, dissolving the inertia of falling, and its limbs also loosened Miao Yi.
"Ah... cough cough..."
Miao Yi, who fell flat on his face, struggled to get up, spitting out mud, and subconsciously turned over quickly to see what the Dark Mantis wanted to do to him.
“…” In the end, nothing was seen. The mantis disappeared without a trace. The most unbelievable thing was…
Miao Yi stared ahead with wide eyes, moving his limbs that were a little frozen, and stumbled out of the endless fog.
In front of him, there were many people waiting outside to watch the excitement, looking at him.
Behind the crowd was the familiar ancient city. When the world of mortals began, he started from here.
Suddenly looking back behind him, it was the fog that connected the sky and the earth.
He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking it was an illusion. He looked back several times and confirmed several times, and found that he was right. He really came out. He actually came out? The mantis actually sent himself out accidentally?
“Zhang family boss, is that you?”
A woman with a headscarf asked Miao Yi, who looked like a ghost, and seemed a little afraid to confirm.
She really didn't dare to confirm it. All the flowers, plants and trees in the world were carbonized into black. Everyone who entered looked like they had crawled out of a coal mine. If it weren't for the familiar butcher knife on Miao Yi's waist, the woman really wouldn't have asked.
The reason why Miao Yi is called the eldest of the Zhang family is because Miao Yi has younger brothers and sisters. His younger brother is fourteen years old and his name is Zhang Fengbao, and his younger sister is twelve years old and his name is Lu Xuexin.
