43 Herbal Field (Part 2)
[Jiang Kunlun said to himself: "Could it be a woman? That figure, that voice..."]
Jiang Kunlun said without hesitation: "I know there is a place that meets your requirements. I will go to the room to get something. Chen Shaoxia, please wait here."
"good."
Chen Jian was sitting in the pavilion, feeling restless.
Jiang Kunlun's story seemed to be a bottomless whirlpool. Facing it, Chen Jian was helpless. He couldn't decide whether to consider this matter together with the Gujing Sect's massacre.
"Young hero, let's go." Jiang Kunlun came out quickly, with a brass and wooden key in his hand.
"I also want to ask about the Dugu family." Chen Jian said cautiously.
"Is it related to the destruction of the Gujing Sect?"
Jiang Kunlun had actually considered this matter for a long time.
The perpetrators of the two massacres were unknown, so it is difficult not to connect them. What's more, now, the witnesses of the two massacres have gathered together, as if it was God's will.
"You have seen the person who exterminated the family. He was wrapped in a black robe, right?" Chen Jian asked.
"I can't remember it wrong. Even if that person appears in the crowd now, I can still see it at a glance." Jiang Kunlun said with certainty, "I will never forget that figure in my life."
Chen Jian feels that the term "figure" has a deeper meaning.
"Is that person... a man or a woman?"
Jiang Kunlun froze in a rare moment. He closed his eyes, and the tragedy of that night immediately came to mind.
Half of the black shadow fell under the moonlight. The man's voice was as cold as ice. He asked if his surname was Dugu. His tone did not have any fluctuation, as if he already knew the answer before asking.
Jiang Kunlun said to himself: "Could it be a woman? That figure, that voice..."
"How to say?"
"If it's a woman - do you know who did it?" Jiang Kunlun suddenly turned to Chen Jian.
"No, I don't have any candidates." Chen Jian shook his head quickly, "I just feel that this is something that must be confirmed, otherwise the general direction will be wrong."
Jiang Kunlun frowned: "In all these years, I have never considered the issue of gender. I always thought it was a man. But when you asked me, I felt that the person seemed to be a woman. Her voice was very soft when she asked me
, and I was too scared at the time, my heartbeat blocked other sounds, and I could only vaguely hear what the man was saying..."
There was a lot of sweat on Jiang Kunlun's forehead.
Chen Jian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think slowly, let's go to the herbal field first."
"That's right - what does the young hero want from the herb field?"
"It has something to do with the Ancient Mirror Sect," Chen Jian didn't want to explain more, her tone was very stiff, "Where are we going?"
Jiang Kunlun wisely avoided this topic: "There are many herbal fields in Wudang, a large part of which are connected to the outside world, and what the young hero needs is a secret place." He opened his hand and placed the brass key in his palm, "This key can
Open a door, and inside is a herbal field that can only be used by Wudang disciples. I own one of them, but I haven't used it for a long time. I happen to have some free time and can lend it to the young hero."
"Grateful."
"Master told me just now that the young hero doesn't know much about herbal medicine. Do you need my help?"
"No need, I just put myself in Liu Xingjue's shoes and have no intention of taking action myself."
"OK."
Wudang's herbal garden is not far from Jiang Kunlun's residence. There are rugged mountain roads all the way, but there are no obstacles for the two warriors. About a moment later, a huge ivory white stone door embedded in the mountains appeared.
It suddenly appeared that the keyhole on the right side of the stone door matched the key in Jiang Kunlun's hand. He turned it two or three times and heard a snapping sound from inside, and the mountain door opened.
The cold breath poured out along the passage, and Chen Jian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"It will feel a bit cold when you first come here." Jiang Kunlun smiled, "Most herbs are cold and grow quickly in this place."
Chen Jian nodded with satisfaction.
The environment here is not much different from that of a rare garden, and Xi Queyi should be able to do something good.
What comes into view are spacious fields, which are quiet. The breeze blows on the plants, and the soft hissing sound is very pleasant to the ears.
Like herbal fields in any other place, many unnamed medicines are grown here. Going further in, there are many fields separated by high walls, one of which belongs to Jiang Kunlun. Only Wudang has the most seniority.
Only high-level disciples can use it.
Jiang Kunlun turned the key and the door was quickly opened.
The withered yellow land is completely opposite to the lush and carefully tended soil outside. Jiang Kunlun smiled sheepishly: "I haven't used it for a long time."
"Were you an alchemist before? Or a planter?"
"My interest is still in refining medicine and I rarely plant, but I still have some experience in planting."
In fact, he was famous for his uncanny skills in growing medicinal herbs when he was a child. After the Duguyuan Mountain massacre, he completely abandoned the past and chose to focus on refining medicine.
Chen Jian looked at the decaying herbal field and wondered what the girl would think if she knew I had given her such a simple piece of land.
"In this case, I will leave the key with you." Jiang Kunlun patted the brass key into Chen Jian's palm, "Don't lose it."
"Okay, don't worry."
In this way, not even Jiang Kunlun himself can enter here.
"If you need any help from me, just come to me. I usually stay in that room."
"No problem, if I hear news about the Dugu family, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Grateful!"
"What's wrong," Chen Jian said, "it's you who was so generous as to lend me this land."
"It's empty anyway." Jiang Kunlun said, "I have some chores to do in the afternoon, so I'm going back first. You should remember the way, right?"
"Remember."
After seeing Jiang Kunlun off, Chen Jian wandered around the herbal garden for a while.
Except for one or two warriors who were picking herbs, he saw no other people, and those people were not interested in him. They just looked at each other and nodded to say hello. This place completely met the "hidden" conditions, and normal people would not peek into the farm.
Under the circumstances, no matter what Xiqueyi wants to plant here, it should be very safe.
After Chen Jian confirmed this, he immediately left for the street.
Jiang Kunlun gave him the key without any scruples, but he would not give it to Xiqueyi foolishly. The past few days of wandering around made him aware of the distribution of shops in Wudang streets and alleys.
It didn't take long for Chen Jian to find a locksmith and ask him to create the same key immediately.
After receiving the new key, he returned to the herbal garden and went through the process, and then went to find Xiqueyi after confirming that it was correct.
Finding Xiqueyi is not troublesome.
There was no business competition today. Xi Queyi didn't like to watch the bloody fights of the warriors, so she stayed in the room, while Xique Xian went to the competition ground. The two separated, and Chen Jian happened to "take advantage of the opportunity."
”.
Arriving at Shang Lian's residence, he soon met Xique Yi.
Chen Jian handed her the key and described the location of the herbal garden, but Xi Queyi's sense of direction didn't seem to be very good. She hoped that he could lead the way, and Chen Jian agreed.
"I leave the key to you," Chen Jian said when they came to the entrance of the herbal garden, "don't lose it."
