"Then what kind of antidote can cure this poison? Where are we going to find them?" Long Qian asked anxiously.
"According to the medical books, in this world, the only thing that can cure the Nine Nether Snake Venom is the Nine Twists Immortal Grass! It was just that this Nine Twists Immortal Grass was the same as the Nine Nether Snake. It only existed in legends, and very few people had seen it before!”Lu Ziming said with a heavy tone.
"What? Then what should he do? My Abba only has seven days left. If I can't find the Nine Twists Immortal Herb in these seven days, what…what should I do? Long Qian couldn't take this blow and started to cry out in pain. A simple and honest peasant girl, that down-and-out and heart-wrenching, isolated and helpless appearance was often more likely to move the hearts of men. Lu Ziming only felt his blood rush to his chest as he said loudly," I'll go find him! Although it is hard to find, it doesn't mean that I can't find it. Regardless of whether I find it or not, I will come back on time in seven days!”
"But…but where can you find it?”Long Qian wiped her tears gratefully and asked.
"Go there!" Lu Ziming suddenly turned his head and pointed at a tall mountain that was hidden in the fog outside the window." Hidden Dragon Peak!”As soon as Lu Ziming said that, not only did Long Qian's face turn pale, but even the old man's face turned pale. He took a few steps back and looked at Lu Ziming in horror." Ziming, are you saying that you want to go to the Hidden Dragon Peak?" No, I definitely can't let you take this risk!”After a pause, the old man tried his best not to be so excited." Ziming, don't you know how dangerous it is there? Since ancient times, there have been thousands of the bravest young people in our clan who have dreamed of conquering Hidden Dragon Peak. However, in the end, not a single one of them has come back alive.”
"That's right, Ziming, you…you'd better not go. Perhaps there are other places that have the Nine Twists Immortal Grass you mentioned!”After a fierce struggle, Long Qian's rationality told her that she should stop Lu Ziming from taking risks.
Lu Ziming shook his head slightly and said," According to medical knowledge, the Nine Twists Immortal Grass feeds on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It grows on the top of famous mountains and rivers, the place closest to the blue sky! Looking at the peaks around us, Hidden Dragon Peak is the tallest. The possibility of the Nine Twists Immortal Herb growing there is the highest. Moreover, Village Chief doesn't have much time left. We can't search for it anywhere else. We can only take the risk to climb Hidden Dragon Peak. Seven days might be enough.”
" This…" Long Qian was at a loss for words. She didn't want her father to die like this, but she couldn't let Lu Ziming take such a big risk just to save her father. After thinking about it, Long Qian's expression became serious and she said solemnly," Let me go! I'm going to Hidden Dragon Peak to find the Nine Twists Immortal Herb!”
Lu Ziming smiled bitterly. Do you know what the Nine Twists Immortal Grass looks like? Do you know where it grows? If even I go, the possibility of success is not high, let alone a girl like you! You're not saving your Abba, you're courting death!”
"Sob sob…what should we do? I can't let you take the risk just to save my Abba! I can't do such a selfish thing!”Long Qian cried out in pain.
"There will definitely be danger, but who says I won't…
Could it succeed? Don't worry, I'm very confident that I can bring back the Nine Twists Immortal Grass. Just wait for my good news!”With that, he stood up and left the village chief's house, returning to his residence.
Lu Ziming didn't bring many things with him. He only brought a rope, a small iron pot, a chopper, and the last relic of his grandfather, the purple bamboo flute. When Lu Ziming finished packing and walked out of the house, he was surprised to find that his house was surrounded by villagers. Knowing that Lu Ziming was going to brave Hidden Dragon Peak to save the village chief's life, these villagers all came to see him off. Their eyes were filled with gratitude and concern.
"Ziming, although you are an outsider, we have never treated you as an outsider! Take this jug of wine! It was very cold at night in the deep mountains.”The old man handed a pot of wine to Lu Ziming. Lu Ziming smiled and took it. He opened the lid and drank a few mouthfuls." Good wine!" Grandpa Long, I love your wine!”The old man nodded heavily as he looked at Lu Ziming, who was full of pride and spirit.
"Ziming, in order to save my Abba, you have to embark on the most dangerous journey. This makes me both touched and guilty. This is a little token of my appreciation. Please accept it! I'll wait for you to come back!" As she spoke, Long Qian handed over a handkerchief woven from linen. The bottom of the handkerchief had the words " Long Qian " written neatly on it, and in the middle was a blooming peony. That kind of luxurious and shocking beauty deeply shocked everyone's soul through their eyes.
Lu Ziming carefully placed the handkerchief in front of his chest and kept it close to his body. He smiled and looked at Long Qian, who was as delicate as a flower." Don't worry, the small Hidden Dragon Peak can't keep me!"”
"Brother Ming Zi, you have to come back early. I still want to eat the fish you made.”Little Fatty squeezed to Lu Ziming's side with great effort and said innocently as he pulled on his clothes. He had no idea what kind of danger his Brother Ming Zi would face if he left this time.
Lu Ziming pinched Little Fatty's nose and smiled." You're already so fat, but you still want to eat. Be careful that you won't be able to get a wife in the future!"”Lil 'Fatty laughed foolishly and said seriously," I'm not worried! If I can't find a wife, I'll let Nancy be my wife!”After he finished speaking, he gave Long Qian a silly smile. However, he saw Long Qian glaring at him with her big, beautiful eyes while baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. Lil 'Fatty was so scared that he quickly hid behind Lu Ziming.
Lu Ziming laughed and said," Little Fatty, you're already afraid of your wife? If you really marry Nancy one day, what will you do?”
"Ziming, don't spout nonsense!" Long Qian's face was flushed red from embarrassment. She could not help but say this, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The laughter diluted the sadness of parting. Lu Ziming cupped his hands and looked around. He said freely," See you in seven days, fellow villagers!”With a loud laugh, he hung the wine pot on his waist and held the chopper in his hand. He separated the crowd and strode toward Hidden Dragon Peak in the distance.
"Ziming, come back soon. I'll be waiting for you!”Long Qian suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted at Lu Ziming. Lu Ziming raised the chopper in his hand high and waved it without even looking back! Only the clear and melodious song drifted over with the wind
