HLnovel Chapter 331
Chapter 331
According to Shu Nanzhi's description, Yaoling Valley is divided into three areas.
From the outside to the inside, they are named between mountains and waters, gravel layer and warm valley.
The three blocks are interconnected in a ring shape and separated by circles of valleys. It is difficult to find the path to the inner area without the guidance of an acquaintance.
"Shanshui is named after its picturesque scenery. It is said that Yaoling Valley was open to the public a long time ago. The scenery is so beautiful that it can be called a fairyland. Both monks and mortals like to live here for a long time."
Zhong Xian patiently shared his knowledge of Yaoling Valley with Yu Xi:
"The Pearl Gravel Layer is rich in all kinds of rare spiritual herbs. From a high vantage point, it looks like a field of glittering pearls and agates, more valuable than gold... As for the Warm Nourishing Valley, I don't know. This is the secret of the Medicine Spirit Valley, and the specifics of the Medicine Spirit Valley will not be revealed to the outside world."
When Zhong Xian was introducing, Yu Xi and the others listened attentively, only Ji Zhi was scratching his head and ears, and he was really not interested, but he did not disturb Zhong Xian.
Shu Nanzhi couldn't help but look back at Zhong Xian, not understanding why an outsider like Zhong Xian knew about their Yaoling Valley.
Could it be that Zhong Xian is the servant of the Demon God who specializes in collecting intelligence?
As they were thinking about it, they had already successfully arrived at the mountains and waters of Yaoling Valley.
However, what came into view was not green mountains and clear waters, but large areas of charred and withered dead trees.
There was no water flowing in the river channel, which emitted a strong stench of decay. Slightly sunken puddles contained stagnant, dirty water.
Fires were still burning in some places, emitting billowing black smoke.
It's even worse than the wilderness described in the book.
Yu Xi watched everything in front of him silently.
If the mountains and rivers described by Zhong Xian were fascinating, then when we see them now, there is only sadness.
And the inexplicable but painful anger hidden deep in my heart.
Shu Nanzhi briefly fixed his gaze on the flames still burning in the distance, then quickly retracted his gaze. Although he wasn't looking at Zhong Xian, he was speaking to her:
"I have never seen the landscape you describe."
The landscape has been like this since she was born.
Yu Xi quickly followed her, "Why would the Immortal Sect do this? The better the environment, the more abundant the creatures, and the more abundant the spiritual energy. What good will it do for them if they destroy this place?"
Shu Nanzhi thought about it carefully and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something. He immediately squatted down and hid himself among the charred bushes.
At the same time, Yu Xi and others also followed her and hid their figures.
I saw a few staggering people walking towards me from not far away.
Their bodies were dark blue and full of holes, but their movements were coordinated. They walked into the sticky soil and kept taking something out of the cloth bags slung around their waists, and put it down with stiff movements.
Yu Xi recognized at a glance that these people were the same ones who attacked her before.
Even though the person should have died, his heart was still beating and he could move.
"That's a puppet."
Shu Nanzhi stared at the puppets, gritting his teeth with a complicated look in his eyes. "They are living dead created by the monks. They have no consciousness of their own and obey orders completely. They will not age. Only by destroying their hearts will they die."
As he spoke, Shu Nanzhi looked at Yu Xi and said, "You asked why the monks wanted to destroy this place? Because the monks not only wanted to grow spiritual herbs, but also poisonous herbs."
Yu Xi soon noticed that among the rotten dead trees, there were many gray-brown plants, like entangled vines, twisted and attached to the ground.
She felt vaguely that these plants looked familiar.
Seeing that the puppets didn't notice them, Shu Nanzhi continued to lead the way, bending forward. When they had reached a ravine where they could hide themselves, he continued:
"The poisonous weeds they planted would corrode the soil, and the cultivation process was also very dangerous... At first, they asked us, the tree demons, to plant them. Later, they found that we were unable to resist the poison and many people died. So they created puppets and had them plant the poisonous weeds here.
"But the puppets are full of poison, and these poisons are particularly attractive to poisonous insects. Poisonous insects corrode the land and plants, so of course no new plants will grow here."
Perhaps because there were poisonous weeds everywhere in the mountains and rivers, not a single cultivator could be seen, and the only people moving around in sight were the puppets.
Yu Xi stared at those puppets and felt that they were similar to medicine men, both made from living people.
The only difference is that the puppet man is full of poison and is used as a tool, while the medicine man is used as a medicinal material.
But they are not treated as human beings.
As for those poisonous weeds... she suddenly remembered that she had seen a lot of them in Su Xianyun's garden, and Huahua even ate them as snacks!
"Brother Su, those poisonous weeds..."
"I have a gut too."
Su Xianyun guessed what Yu Xi was going to ask, nodded quickly, and explained:
"That's the Biluo root, which is extremely poisonous. It can be used to fight poison with poison, and it can also temporarily improve your cultivation. When I was most disgusted with Zhong Xian and Ji Zhi, I thought of using this to poison them to death."
Su Xianyun is also an honest man. When Yu Xi asked him a question, he revealed all his secrets.
Zhong Xian looked over coldly.
Jizhi opened his mouth wide.
He said Su Xianyun wanted to poison him!
Yu Xi covered her face and quickly replied before Ji Zhi jumped up to question her:
"But how can Huahua be eaten?"
Su Xianyun felt a chill down his spine at the moment, but because he was talking to Yu Xi, he spoke smoothly:
"It was originally a spiritual herb that I planted in the soil where I planted the blue sky root. It and the blue sky root are mutually beneficial."
Is Huahua really so powerful?
Huahua put her hands on her hips in Yuxi's sleeves.
Shu Nanzhi, who was standing nearby, was also shocked when he heard Su Xianyun's words. He hurriedly said, "This poisonous weed will pollute the land. How can we grow other plants here?"
Su Xianyun looked at her, opened his mouth, then closed it again, thought for a moment, and then said:
“You don’t know how to plant.”
Southern branch of the tree:?
They, the tree demon clan, were born with the ability to grow all kinds of rare plants, and Su Xianyun actually dared to say they couldn't grow anything?!
This is simply unreasonable!
Even if Su Xianyun is the confidant of Lord Demon God, she can't tolerate it!
Now there was another pair of eyes staring at Su Xianyun.
Su Xianyun was suddenly stared at by everyone with hatred. He became a little nervous and had no idea what he had said wrong.
Fortunately, Yu Xi grabbed his hand in time, which calmed him down a lot. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and finally summed up seriously:
"In short, if you want to plant Biluo root, you don't have to destroy this place before you can plant it, and the soil it pollutes doesn't necessarily have to be abandoned."
Compared to others, Yu Xi immediately understood Su Xianyun's true meaning and said hurriedly:
"So, Brother Su, what you mean is, do you have a way to restore the environment here to normal?"
Su Xianyun nodded.
So there is still hope among mountains and rivers!
Yu Xi looked at Shu Nanzhi happily, only to see that Shu Nanzhi was in a daze and hadn't reacted yet.
