Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Human Grass Teacher, Thousands of Miles to Follow

The north wind at Tanggula Pass is whistling with large flakes of snow. In this season, Tanggula Pass is almost covered by thick dark clouds all day long, and the flying snow all over the sky has become its main theme.A carriage snailed in the knee-high snow, and the wind and snow seemed to deliberately oppose them, hitting them head-on. The driver was a dwarf, wearing a thick black leather jacket, his body curled up, because the temperature was too low, the eyebrows and the hair on his forehead were covered with a thick layer of frost.He kept his body as low as possible to maintain his body temperature.Behind him was a box, which blocked the entrance in front of the carriage. His lips were cracked, and with a whip in his hand, he kept whipping on the horse's back, shouting: "Drive!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the cold wind took the opportunity to rush into his mouth, choking him to shiver, but even so, he still dully repeated his previous actions, opening the curtain in front of the carriage from time to time, looking inward. take a look. At this time, there was a woman lying on the thick quilt inside the curtain. This woman looked to be in her twenties, her face was pale, her lips were chapped, because she hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time, her hands had been severely peeled, and she was wrapped in thick clothes. She was wearing a thick cotton coat, but it still couldn't cover her slightly swollen abdomen. She tightly grasped the corner of the quilt covering her body with her peeling hands, with an extremely painful expression on her face. There was a pot of charcoal fire in front of her. The red charcoal was blown red by the wind that came in from the gap in the carriage.

"How are you?" The dwarf asked with concern, his voice soft and full of love. The woman gritted her teeth with great difficulty. The pain had caused many small beads of sweat to appear on her forehead. She barely moved the corners of her mouth, smiled slightly, and shook her head. The dwarf stared intently at the woman, something flickering in his eyes.The woman smiled quickly and said: "It's okay, don't worry!" After a sharp pain came from her arm, she immediately gritted her teeth and held on to the quilt tightly, but there was still a crappy smile on her face.

The dwarf lowered the curtain, raised the whip anxiously in his heart, and lashed the horse's back heavily. The horse was exhausted, and it was completely numb in this weather. No matter how the dwarf whipped it, it always maintained its original speed. , Walking slowly in the heavy snow. Seeing the dwarf falling from the curtain, the woman began to convulse in pain. This pain was like thousands of needles piercing the bones, which made people die.She rolled up her sleeves and saw that the skin on her arms had begun to stiffen, as if the surface had been coated with a layer of wax, turning into a thick shell.She knew in her heart that if she continued like this, her whole body would soon become like this, and by that time, she would no longer be in pain.This is the strangest poison in the world. Although she comes from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, she has no way to deal with this poison. The only thing that can detoxify her is the legendary human grass.

In order to find the human grass, the two of them traveled thousands of miles from Anyang, Henan to Xinjiang, and then from Xinjiang to the snowy Tanggula Pass, but where is the human grass?The Tanggula Mountain Pass is cloudy and sunny, and there are few people in the radius of a hundred miles, not even a single animal.On the empty mountain pass, there is only this carriage, moving slowly in the snow, there is no hope in front, and there is only despair behind. At this moment, the carriage suddenly trembled, and the horse, which had been walking slowly, swayed twice in place, and then fell to the ground with a loud crash.The dwarf immediately jumped out of the cart. The snow covered his knees at this time. He threw the whip in his hand aside, and then leaned over the horse and patted it lightly.

Reluctantly, the dwarf turned around and picked up the whip, weeping and whipping the dead horse vigorously, shouting loudly: "Get up, you dead beast, get up quickly!" He whipped for a while, then suddenly dropped the whip and lay down Gently stroking the horse's head on the horse's body, tears could not stop streaming down. The snow fell more and more, and the road was completely blocked.The dwarf's actions were all seen by the woman in the carriage, and she suddenly had an idea, if it wasn't for her, the two of them would not be in this desperate situation. Thinking of this, she suddenly pulled out a short knife from the side and thought to kill himself.At this moment, there was a fetal movement in her stomach, as if a small foot was gently kicking her stomach.The strong maternal love made her throw the dagger aside, she couldn't die yet, she wanted to live for the sake of the child in her belly, she must live.She came here to live.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing from all directions, and the car trembled slightly in the wind.The woman endured the pain and whimpered in the carriage. At this moment, the car suddenly started to move slowly. The woman frowned, and hurriedly opened the curtain to look out, only to see the dwarf pulling the car slowly towards the outside in the snowstorm. Walking forward, his short body was almost obliterated by the wind and snow.Several times the dwarf fell into the snow and got up again. The woman looked at the dwarf in front of her with tears in her eyes.Finally, the dwarf fell down again, but this time he couldn't get up with all his strength.The woman wanted to go out, but the dwarf blocked the big box at the entrance of the carriage. She almost exhausted all her strength because of the pain, and she couldn't move the heavy wooden box no matter what. She lay helplessly on the box, crying, Shouting, this chaotic sky mercilessly threw large flakes of snow down, covering the fallen dwarfs and the carriage in the snow, as if to bury them in snow.

The woman grabbed the box, and suddenly there was another sharp pain in her body. The pain was like ice sticking into her body. Her vision was a little blurred. She seemed to see a black spot in the confused snow. The black spot approached her at an extremely fast speed, and gradually she saw clearly that it was a car, a car pulled by dogs, but she couldn't believe that there were people in this deserted place, could it be an illusion?Maybe it's an illusion!Thinking of this, she lost her mind. The woman was awakened by the smell of meat, she opened her eyes, her eyes were facing the beams of the house, she looked around, she was covered with a thick quilt, she was lying on a wooden bed, and on one side of the wooden bed was a The brazier is full of charcoal fire. The room is not big, and there is a bookshelf on the side, which is full of thread-bound books.The woman had an illusion, she felt as if she had returned to her home in Beiping City, but the north wind whistling outside the window made her realize that this was not Beiping.

She struggled to sit up from the bed, feeling as if someone was watching her, and looked up, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black padded jacket, looking at her peacefully.Seeing her wake up, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Your body is too weak, and you are pregnant with Liujia, you should lie on the bed and rest for a while!" "What about him?" the woman asked eagerly. The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said, "His situation is much better than yours!" While talking, the dwarf came in from the outside. Seeing the woman woke up, he immediately dropped the firewood in his hand and walked over, grabbed the woman's hand, and said happily: "You are awake, you are really awake, the medicine has an effect. Already!" He said as he looked towards the door, and saw the middle-aged man was already sitting by the fire outside.

A lamb was roasting on the fire, and the middle-aged man brushed some seasoning on the lamb with a brush. The smell of the lamb became stronger, and the woman suddenly felt hungry. "Where is this?" the woman asked the dwarf. "We were still at the Tanggula Pass, and we were rescued by this gentleman!" The dwarf recalled sitting next to the woman. It turned out that what the woman had that day was not a hallucination. Just when they were almost desperate, a middle-aged man appeared. Two people brought here.The dwarf just passed out because his body was frozen, and the middle-aged man poured a bowl of ginger soup for the dwarf, and the dwarf soon came back to life. After the middle-aged man took the woman's pulse, he couldn't help frowning. The pulse is really weird.The middle-aged man stood up and thought for a while, then took out some strange things from the cabinet and handed them to the dwarf to make medicine for the woman to drink. Unexpectedly, after drinking it a few times, the woman really woke up.

"How do you feel now?" The dwarf looked at the woman worriedly. After being reminded by the dwarf, the woman found that her body seemed to be much more relaxed, and the sharp pain disappeared. There was a hint of surprise on her face. Could it be that the gods really appeared to drive away the poison on her body? At this moment, the middle-aged man brought up the cut mutton, put it on the bedside of the woman and said, "Your body is still too weak, eat something!" The woman glanced at the man in front of her gratefully, only to see the middle-aged man nodded slightly, turned around and walked out, the woman couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Can I ask you, what kind of medicine did you give me?" The middle-aged man stopped and said lightly: "It's just some Chinese herbal medicines from the plateau. You need to rest your body more. The snow in the Tanggula Mountains usually lasts for one or two months. You can go after the snow stops! "After speaking, the man walked out. Although the middle-aged man said that, the woman was still a little unwilling, but it was inconvenient to continue asking now.In the next few days, the dwarf would bring a bowl of boiled medicine to the woman every day. Once the medicine was ingested, he felt the warm current flow along the blood and flow all over the body. The smoothness of the past was restored, and some blood color gradually appeared on her face. What surprised the woman the most was that since she woke up, the poison on her body had never flared up again.However, the more this is the case, the more doubts in her heart, she knows what kind of poison she has. This is the number one poison in the exorcist family - health preservation technique, the only one in the world that can cure this kind of poison. The only ones that are poisonous are human plants. But how could that middle-aged man be so sloppy?Could it be that he... A bold guess slowly formed in the woman's heart. She began to observe the middle-aged man consciously or unconsciously. She found that the middle-aged man was gentle and taciturn, and he was accompanied by only a few dogs.But even so, men have a rule that they must abide by, that is, they are never allowed to enter the house where he lives. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the snowstorm that day finally stopped. The middle-aged man walked out of the house with a few dogs, leaving only the woman and the dwarf in the house.The woman came out for a walk and found that the middle-aged man had not locked the door. That kind of strong curiosity immediately attacked her heart like a scourge. She quietly walked to the door and gently touched it with her fingertips. The door was slowly closed. When it was opened, the woman turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one there, she went straight in. The room in front of me is not big, and the furnishings are almost the same as those of the opposite room. There is a bed, a bookshelf full of books of various colors, and a painting hanging on the wall, which shows a dignified woman. something else.The woman was a little disappointed, and was about to go out, when she raised her head, she saw a middle-aged man standing at the door, staring at the woman coldly.The woman was a little overwhelmed by the stare, and lowered her head slightly.The middle-aged man didn't say anything, turned around and walked out, and the woman followed the man out quickly. The middle-aged man didn't come back until the evening. When he came back, he brought a car, which was the car that the dwarf and the woman were riding at that time.When the middle-aged man saw the two of them, he said flatly, "The snow here has stopped, you can leave tomorrow!" Hearing this, the dwarf and the woman were startled. They looked at each other, and the woman paused and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you and entered that room, but please let us stay." !" "And..." The woman was a little speechless. "Don't worry, the poison on your body has been removed!" The man seemed to understand what the woman was going to say, stood up and turned his back to them and looked outside and said, "You can leave now with peace of mind!" "But sir, we haven't repaid your life-saving grace yet!" the woman knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and pulled the dwarf, and the dwarf also knelt on the ground with the woman.The man let out a long breath and said: "If you really want to repay me, don't mention me to outsiders, it's considered repayment!" After speaking, the man turned and entered the door, leaving the woman and the dwarf kneeling on the ground.Seeing that the man had made up his mind, the woman couldn't help but feel a little sad. At this moment, she suddenly felt cramps in her abdomen. She stretched out her hand to touch her lower body, only to feel that there was a lot of blood coming out of her lower body, and the cramps came in rhythmically, making her Couldn't help lying on the ground and screaming. "What's wrong with you?" Seeing the woman trembling in pain, the dwarf hurriedly asked. "Maybe...maybe I'm about to give birth!" The woman felt the colic in her abdomen was very rhythmic, but the pain made her unable to use any strength.The dwarf quickly stood up, ran to the door of the man's room, pushed it open, and said anxiously: "Sir, she is about to give birth, what should I do?" The middle-aged man frowned, and walked out quickly. Seeing the woman lying on the ground with a distorted expression in pain, he quickly picked her up and put her on the bed in the opposite room. The situation was urgent and he could no longer care about men and women. He ordered the dwarf to boil a pot of hot water immediately, then walked into the room by himself, took out a medicine, put it in the woman's mouth, and whispered in the woman's ear, "Put it under your tongue, hold it!" The woman nodded, and as soon as the medicine was ingested, the woman felt a chill.She was already a little out of breath because of the pain just now, and now she can finally breathe out, and then exert force slowly.The feeling of pain hit again, the woman breathed rhythmically, and then continued to exert force... Half an hour later, with a cry, the baby boy was born, and he looked very beautiful.The man put the baby boy next to the woman, and the woman looked at the child lovingly. If it wasn't for the child, the woman might have given up the idea of ​​living.At this moment, looking at the child in front of her, the tears in the woman's eyes finally flowed down. "Sir, can you name this child?" the woman said weakly with a hot towel on her head and pale lips. The man nodded slightly and said, "What's the child's father's name?" The man's words made the dwarf's body tremble suddenly. He looked at the woman obsessively, and the woman lowered her head slightly, looked at the infant child lovingly, and then turned her head to look at him standing at the door. The dwarf, the dwarf met the woman's eyes, lowered his head gradually, gave a smirk, and turned to leave. At this moment, the woman suddenly said firmly: "His father's surname is Jin!" As soon as the woman's words came out, the dwarf's body trembled suddenly. He turned his head and looked at the woman in disbelief, with a joyful and inconceivable expression on his face. The middle-aged man walked up to the woman, looked at the baby sleeping in the swaddle, and said, "This child was born in the year of Gengzi, and there is a heroic look in his brows. If you think about it, he will be extraordinary in the future. Let's call him Jinlong!" "Golden Dragon!" The woman frowned, chewed on the two words, nodded repeatedly, and repeated the name while looking at the baby lying beside her. Because of the birth of the golden dragon, the woman and the dwarf continued to live.The weather at Tanggula Pass is always so changeable that you can almost experience the changes of four seasons in one day.Soon, half a month of wind and snow swept here again.One evening during the third month of Golden Dragon, the middle-aged man called the woman and the dwarf into his room. The man sat on a chair and played with something quietly. It was a silver longevity lock. The man was silent. After a long time, he put the Longevity Lock on the table, lowered his head and said calmly, "Why did you two come here?" The woman and the dwarf looked at each other, not knowing where to start. The middle-aged man went on to say: "If I read correctly, girl, with your figure and footwork, you should be a wood-type insect repellent, and you..." The man shifted his gaze to the dwarf and said, "You should be an insect repellent." He must be a descendant of a gold-type insect repellent!" The woman nodded quickly, then thought for a moment and said: "You guessed right, I am Pan Yuanyuan, a descendant of the Pan family of the wood family, and he is Jinyin, a descendant of the Jin family." "Hehe!" The man smiled lightly, and said meaningfully, "Mu belongs to the Pan family..." The man paused and then said, "I think you should know who I am, right?" "What I've been poisoned by is the poison of health preservation. The only antidote in the world is human herb. If I'm not wrong, you should be a human herb master!" Pan Yuanyuan boldly stated what she had guessed for many days. The middle-aged man nodded acquiescingly, and then said: "Many years ago, I rescued a member of the Mu family Pan family. At that time, because of something happened around me, I had to leave, and I had to let my wife take care of him. But a few Months later, when I returned home, it was already in ruins, and I found my wife’s body in the ruins, and this!” The man picked up the longevity lock and said softly, “Later For many years, I searched for the whereabouts of the wood lineage successor, until eight years later, I found him, and he was killed by another person, and it was only then that I decided to return here." "Could it be the descendant of the wood family you are talking about?" Pan Yuanyuan frowned in disbelief. "Pan Yingxuan, a gentleman of the wood department!" the human grass master said lightly. For a moment, something seemed to flash through Pan Yuanyuan's mind. She remembered that her parents went to Xinjiang many years ago, and when her father came back half a year later, he brought a baby with him. Thinking of this, she couldn't help blurting out: "Is that baby?..." The man nodded noncommittally. Half a year later, in a valley ravaged by blizzards, a carriage snailed in the wind and snow. The dwarf kept slapping the horse's buttocks, with a satisfied smile on his face, and looked back to the direction of the carriage from time to time. The woman inside was tight Clinging tightly to the swaddled baby she had just nursed.The baby is sleeping soundly, smiling from time to time in the dream.The woman suddenly felt an unprecedented happiness, but they didn't know that a pair of eyes were staring at them not far away... Pan Jun stood in front of the old man and listened quietly to the old man's eloquence. Then the old man took out a silver longevity lock from his bosom and handed it to Pan Jun.Standing behind the old man, Pan Jun couldn't believe his eyes. He took the longevity lock with both hands, and sat down on the bed limply. In fact, with Pan Jun's cleverness and several experiences, he already knows many things very well, but he doesn't want to believe that his father, who has loved him so much since he was a child, is actually like this.He couldn't accept this fact for a while.The old man walked up to Pan Jun, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Son, come with me!" After all, the old man walked towards another room. There was a painting hanging in that room. The woman in the painting was extremely beautiful, with a touch of elegance in her beauty. The faint smile of the woman seemed to be right in front of her eyes.Sometimes family love is like this, even if they are thousands of miles apart, once they meet, a certain kind of stimulation will immediately be produced in the blood, and this stimulation will immediately arouse all the suppressed emotions in the heart.The tears that Pan Jun had been holding in his eyes finally fell down.He knelt on the ground and looked at the person in the painting quietly, knowing that it was his mother. Pan Jun knelt for a long time, recalling everything he had experienced in his mind.After a while, the old man walked up to him and patted his shoulder lightly. Pan Jun lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Father, I'm late!" The old man's body trembled slightly. He stood beside Pan Jun, grabbed his shoulder tightly, and patted him vigorously. For a moment, the two seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. "By the way, father, since you knew that I was at Pan's house so early on, why didn't you show up?" Pan Jun looked at the cursive master suspiciously and said. "Because I know you are living a good life, and there is one thing I need to do at that time!" Master Rencao said with a sigh. "What's the matter?" Seeing the sad expression on the grass master's face, Pan Jun already guessed that the matter he was talking about must have something to do with the insect repellent family. "I've been looking for someone!" The human grass master patted Pan Jun on the shoulder, then sat on the chair leisurely and said. "Who?" Pan Jun asked puzzled. "Feng Wanchun's father, the previous generation of earth-type insect repellent master!" Human Herb Master said indifferently, "At the beginning of the formation of the insect repellent master family, in order to eliminate everyone's coveted heart for the ultimate secret treasure, the secret treasure was divided into several parts: gold-type The family holds the Heluo box; the secret treasures of the fire family contain black jade; the secret treasures of the earth family are passed on word of mouth, and they have the key to open all these secret treasures, especially the key to this labyrinth—the destiny key .Once you have the Key of Destiny, you can enter the labyrinth unimpeded. But many years ago, Feng Wanchun’s father suddenly disappeared mysteriously. Feng Wanchun's father is likely to be under house arrest, so I have been looking for his whereabouts all those years!" "Then what happened next?" Pan Jun then asked. The human grass master shook his head helplessly, and said: "He seems to have evaporated from the world. Since then, he has never appeared again, so I can only come back here again. If he is still alive, then the destiny key must be will be born again." "If this is the case, then Master Feng's father should still be alive!" After finishing speaking, Pan Jun told Master Human Grass everything about their entering the maze.The reason why Pan Jun and his party were able to enter the Fuxi Eight Diagrams Formation was because of the Destiny Key that Shi Miaomiao obtained from Jinshun.Since the Key of Destiny appeared again, Feng Wanchun's father must still be alive. After listening to Pan Jun's narration, the cursive master with his hands behind his back, frowning, walked slowly in the room. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he stopped, stared at Pan Jun and said, "Are you It is said that the first batch of people who entered the formation did not use the destiny key?" Pan Jun nodded.Indeed, Pan Jun once heard from Yan Ying in the secret passage that he and Yan Yun suddenly fell into the gossip formation in the secret passage. Later, in order to find the two of them, he found the Secret of Destiny from Shi Miaomiao. key.Seeing his father's frowning and nervous expression, Pan Jun guessed that there must be something hidden in it.He said suspiciously: "We asked Ouyang Shishu's elder brother at that time, and he told us that this secret path will be automatically opened every ten years, and when it is automatically opened, no key is required to enter!" The cursive master raised his head slightly, looked at Pan Jun, and said, "Is the person you mentioned called Ouyang Leiyun?" Pan Jun nodded hastily, and saw that the face of the cursive master changed slightly, and said: "Although what he said is true, but the ten-year deadline has not yet expired, how can the secret path be opened?" "What did you say?" Pan Jun looked at the cursive master in astonishment, "The ten-year deadline has not yet come?" The cursive master nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Oh, you don't know, the saying 'The insect repellent family originated from an ancient city that disappeared in the Western Regions' is true. But with the disappearance of that ancient city, , the insect repellent family moved to the inland. In fact, the ancient city did not disappear, but sank underground. In order to hide the secret of the ancient city, the insect repellent family appointed gold department insect repellent to operate on the ground for hundreds of years, and established The gossip array you saw is extremely dangerous, and any level can kill people. The only key that can open the gossip array is passed to the family of earth-type insect repellents, which is the key of destiny The key has twelve gaps, corresponding to the twelve scales of the Great Circumference, and sixty-four fine lines, cast in depth according to the hexagram images of the eight, eight, and sixty-four hexagrams, which are extremely fine and painstaking. It was just to prevent the fate key from being lost, so on this basis, it was stipulated that this entrance would open by itself every ten years." "How come you are so familiar with this time?" Pan Jun then asked. "In addition to planting human grass, the most important duty of the human grass master is to adjust the opening time every ten years!" The human grass master saw that Pan Jun frowned slightly, knowing that he didn't understand clearly, and then added, "This The opening mechanism of the gossip array is calculated according to the time of the Sui Xing. The Sui Xing circles the sky every twelve years, which is called the Great Circle. However, there is an extremely small error in this time, so every ten years must To correct the time error of its opening, so I will come back here every ten years to clear the error." "If it's normal, when should the gossip array be opened?" Pan Jun has already been keenly aware of something. "Today!" the cursive master looked at Pan Jun and said, "Today happens to be the ten-year deadline, so I entered this Eight Diagrams Formation. Unexpectedly, when I came in, I found that the mechanism here had already been activated, so I I followed and found you!" "We have already spent a whole day in this Eight Diagrams Formation, so someone should have opened the door of the Eight Diagrams Formation in advance?" Pan Jun frowned and thought. "Yes, it seems that the key to Destiny should not only be owned by the girl you know!" Human Herb Master said thoughtfully. "Yanyun is pure by nature and has no intentions. If she has a key to destiny, I won't know it!" Pan Jun said while thinking, "But Yanying is hard to say. If Yanying holds the key There is that key inside, and the door was opened ahead of time..." Thinking of this, Pan Jun suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Can we still go in now?" The cursive master shook his head slightly, sighed helplessly and said: "Now there is no other way except the key of destiny!" Pan Jun sat helplessly on the bed.At this moment, he was already in a state of disarray.If the person who opened the door of the Eight Diagrams Formation in advance was really Yan Ying, then where did the key to destiny in his hand come from?Why on earth did he want to enter the gossip formation?Does he want to rely on his own power to pass the Eight Diagrams Formation? Pan Jun stood up helplessly, facing the west.At this moment, the western sky is covered with colorful clouds, and half of the sky is filled with blood red.Suddenly his gaze was attracted by a fast-moving black spot at the foot of the mountain. He stood up and took two steps forward. After a closer look, it was a horse, and there was a person lying on the horse's back.
