Chapter 37:

Changbai Mountain

People in the Jianghu


On that day, Tian Qiu was alone in the outer room to recuperate, while Li Dongping sat alone with the real person in the Buddhist meditation room of the Taoist priest.

"Leader Li, the injury of Great Xia Luo is all right. It's just that the vitality is damaged. You need to take good supplements to get twice the result with half the effort. As for the heat poison, you need to take more medicine to dispel the heat poison, and I need to take more medicine to dispel the heat poison, plus young Xia TianQiu's own internal power to regulate the breath, and you can recover soon."

"What is the best supplement?" Li Dongping asked.

"Naturally, it's better than ginseng in Changbai Mountain. I'm afraid it's hard to find it for a while," said the real man.

"Alas! Changbai Mountain is thousands of miles away from here. How can I get there at the moment?" Li Dongping said: "Only slowly search. Or buy from the drugstore, or send someone to find it. It will take more than a month to get to Changbai Mountain. Now the situation is tense, and it can only be postponed for some time."

"That's all," said the real man.

How could they know that the walls have ears? Long Ling saw Brother TianQiu's kung fu and breath, worried that someone would interfere with him, and stood alone outside the room to protect him. TianQiu's room is next to the real person meditation room. Long Ling heard the two people talking and laughing clearly just now. She thought that brother TianQiu was seriously injured. If he wanted to recover as soon as possible, why didn't she go to Changbai Mountain. Although the journey is far away, it is also the perfect time for her to practice "shadowless magic wind". There is nothing difficult in the world. I'm afraid that if someone wants to, why not go alone for brother TianQiu. Little girl, where do you know that just because it is a long way away, the old brother will be helpless. There are many unexpected difficulties in this process.

It is also that she is not afraid of tigers when she is born. She can do whatever she thinks.

At the moment, carrying the gossip about Changbai Mountain from the old brother and the old Taoist priest, he skillfully learned the general route of Changbai Mountain, and secretly changed the hairpin without consulting with others. Before leaving, I said a few words to Sister Wenxue in a hurry. It was just to ask her to serve Brother Haotianqiu wholeheartedly and repay her later.

When Li Dongping and others learned that it had been several hours before they could catch up. Li Dongping was in a hurry.

"The little girl really doesn't know the superiority of heaven and earth!" "Her martial arts are excellent, and I'm afraid it won't hurt." Su Jianghe comforted him.

"Although she has high martial arts, it is inconvenient for a girl to walk alone. Besides, Changbai Mountain is located in the northern country and it is cold and freezing. Even when she arrives there, it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. It is not the season to dig ginseng. Where can I find ginseng at the moment? Alas!"

Jiang Hongfan was also anxious.

"Since she has a heart, it's difficult for her!" Li Dongping said helplessly

"That's all," Jiang Hongfan echoed, "why don't you send a message to the leader of the sect by flying pigeons and asking people from the northern 'Beggars' Sect' to help her."

"Why didn't I think that she was just out of Shanhaiguan and not the territory of the northern 'Beggars' Sect'? She has got the real biography of TianQiu's' Shadowless Fantasy Wind 'Lightness Skill. She runs very fast. I'm afraid that pigeons will not be much faster than her. Can she take care of her? Only, the child is willful, anxious and afraid of causing trouble. It doesn't matter if she can avoid trouble..." Li Dongping said urgently.

"In my opinion," Immortal Qingyun smiled, "this doll is very scheming. He is sincere to Great Xia and will never cause trouble. But you must not tell the truth to Great Xia Luo, so as not to disturb his mind and hinder healing."

"Your words are reasonable!" Jiang Hongfan nodded. "We all said in one voice that she was summoned by the teacher's order to go down the mountain to her master. It is expected that Great Xia Luo will not be suspicious."

Putting aside the divergent opinions here, the little girl Long Ling left the "Qingyun Temple" alone, and performed the "Shadowless Fantasy Wind" lightness skill. She wielded divine power alone and ran like a fly. After walking through Hengshui in Jinan, I passed Tianjin Wei in a few days, and then went straight to Fengtian after passing Shanhaiguan.

We spend the night and the morning on the way. We are looking for temples and temples for lodging. We are looking for old ladies and women to ask the way, avoiding many people, and looking for wilderness paths.

Ignore the noise of others and use the "shadowless magic wind" lightness skill. For the sake of a belief, her temperament became unusually gentle, and she smiled before meeting people. She was originally a beautiful woman. After dressing up as a man, she looked like a beautiful teenager, and everyone loved her. She mostly dealt with girls, eldest sisters, and old women, let alone accidents, and even quarrels did not happen. The journey of thousands of miles was incredibly smooth. It was because the little girl was cautious in her work, and the northerners were warm and friendly, which gave her a lot of convenience.

It is near Changbai Mountain when we reach Tongjing. Long Ling made a mistake. Not to mention how to find ginseng, she doesn't even know what ginseng is. I only heard that I grew up in Changbai Mountain. I'm afraid I don't know if I met Ginseng. What's more, Changbai Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, where are ginseng hidden? She thought she had to climb to the highest mountain.

Poor northern China is freezing. Although it is early autumn, the top of the mountain is still covered with snow. She launched the "Jiuyou Yin Qi" to perform the "shadowless magic wind" lightness skill, and did not feel cold. Stop your body and still feel cold. She has not yet reached the highest level of inviolability of cold and heat like Luo Tianqiu, let alone the morning frost and dew all the way, which is extremely hard and tiring. Although she has strong internal power, she is also difficult.

I don't know what to do when I saw several people on the mountainside climbing up the cliff with thick ropes around their waist. Curious, I stopped to watch.

"Young man, what are you doing here alone?" a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at her and asked.

"I... I'm playing here!" Long Ling mumbled casually at a loss.

"Gunazi! What is not fun? You must be a little beard stepping on the plate when you come to the Changbai Mountain!" a tall young man beside him shouted with a loud voice. He speaks Northeast dialect quickly and crisply. Long Ling couldn't hear the "little moustache stepping on the plate" very clearly, only knowing that he said he shouldn't come here to play. Yes, how can you come to such a place to play when you have made a mistake? Hurry to talk again.

"Brother, I came to Changbai Mountain for ginseng for thousands of miles to cure my brother."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed and said, "Young man, why are you so confused? When will you get ginseng?"

"You look like a bear, ginseng is at your feet, I don't want to know!" The young man laughed.

Everyone below climbed up and laughed. One of the older black men smiled and told Long Ling, "This is the time to dig ginseng. It's the last month of the winter. Besides, one person can't do it. You need help. Don't listen to people's nonsense. There are ginseng in Changbai Mountain. We can't dig one ginseng in a winter. You'd better go to the people who dig ginseng to find out if there is any, or go to the patent medicine stores in Tonghua and Changchun, and pay a lot of money to buy one. It's good to treat your brother's disease, but you have gone wrong!"

Long Ling heard clearly this time. It was precisely what he said that made her heart cold. She was penniless and had to beg for food or pick wild fruits to satisfy her hunger. There was a lot of money to buy ginseng.

This... what can I do? She was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. Being anxious and mentally retarded, she had no idea for a moment, and stood on the mountain in a daze at what to do. Those people saw her in a daze and walked away.

Long Ling thought about it slowly, and thought she'd better go ahead. So, he stepped forward again. This mountain is really very high. You can see that mountain is higher after crossing this mountain. Look at the west of the sun. There is no place to rest. There is white snow everywhere. What should I do?

As she was walking and thinking, she heard the loud sound of the bell in front of her and hurried forward. There was a temple on the hillside in front of her. Long Ling ran straight to the mountain gate regardless of the situation. When I walked several meters away from the mountain gate, I suddenly heard a loud cry:

"Who?" With the voice, a man jumped from a tall tree, about her age and almost twice her size.

The young man jumped down the tree and stood in front of Long Ling.

"What do you do and where are you going?"

"Brother, I want to go to the temple and have a rest for one night." Long Ling said with a smile.

"Who is your eldest brother? Why is the holy land of Buddhism where your thief lives? Go away! Go away!" shouted the boy.

"Why are you so rude? Buddhist holy land, am I a bad person?" Long Ling was also a little annoyed at this time and said hurriedly.

"It's not a bad person! Is it a good thing?" said the young man unreasonably.

"How dare you swear?!" Long Ling was really angry: it was the first time she lost her temper in the past ten years, and it was also the first time she met any unreasonable person.

"Gunazi, how dare you scold me? Do you still want to do it?" the young man stabbed him with his hands in his waist. Then he came forward to give Long Ling a hand. As soon as Long Ling hid away from him, she put a light band on his wrist and moved "hand in hand".

The young man was caught off guard and was dragged far away by him. With a "pout", he fell down on the ground one by one, and stood up for a long time.

"Gunaba, how dare you do it? I'll kill you!" He said with a sharp knife in his hand.

Turn around and stab at Longling. Long Ling did not dodge. When the knife came near, she suddenly reached out and squeezed the back of the knife with her food and middle fingers, and let him seize the knife as hard as he could. The knife seemed to be cast in Long Ling's hand, and remained motionless. "What magic do you... cast?!" the young man asked.

He thought Long Ling was small and easy to bully. How do you know that she pinched the back of his knife with only two fingers. Long Ling waited for him to snatch the knife again, and his hand was loose. The young man was snatching the knife with the strength of his breast. As soon as the strength went away, the young man could not stop and fell back to the ground, causing him to groan.

The young man was a dumbfounded man. He climbed up from the ground and waved his knife again. Just then, someone shouted at the mountain gate, "Stop!"

When Long Ling turned to look, she saw a bald monk standing at the mountain gate. He is not young, full of wrinkles, and his long white eyebrows are particularly prominent.

Long Ling saw that he was merciful and a monk, not a bad man. Now she clasped her hands and gave the old monk a deep salute.

"Elder, forgive me for my mistakes. How offending!"

When the old monk saw that she was polite, he immediately smiled.

"Girl, why are you here?"

Long Ling was surprised. The old monk had such a sharp eye. How could he know that he was a woman at first sight. Without concealing it, he said, "I came from Wuhan to find medicine for my brother."

"Please talk inside," said the old man.

Long Ling couldn't wait for him to say this. She hurried into the courtyard door, ran down the stone steps, and looked up. The three big words "White Jade Temple" on the plaque on the door jumped into the eyes, because the leaves could not be seen in the distance. The old man opened the door and took her directly to the guest room.

Long Ling felt very warm sitting in the room. The little monk brought another cup of hot tea. Long Ling drank a cup of tea and felt much more comfortable.

"Miss, your name and the history of your teacher, can you tell me?" asked the old monk.

Long Ling smiled.

"I'm Longling, the disciple of Dingqing Nunnery."

The monk was surprised and immediately asked, "Ah! Are you the Dingqing Shenni of the Yingbo Gate?"

"Is it her elder, who knows my master?" Long Ling nodded and smiled.

"Not only do I know her! She is still my benefactor!" The old monk also nodded and said with his hands together.

Long Ling was secretly happy. He thought to himself, "Did I have a chance to meet my master's old friend?" He asked immediately:

"Can you tell me the reason?"

The old monk sighed deeply and took out a piece of past that he had hidden in his heart for many years.
