Chapter 605: Undead Grass

After returning to the hotel, I found that Senior Rat was holding the natal rat and cried bitterly. In fact, let alone him, even I have regarded the natal rat as a relative who fought side by side!

I told Senior Mouse about the ending of Zhao Feiyan and Baimao to Senior Mouse, and then handed him the Liuxian skirt. Although I like this skirt very much, Senior Mouse lost his younger brother for this business, so I could only bear the pain of giving up.

Unexpectedly, Senior Rat, who has always been greedy for money, did not take it, but instead applied it to Li Mazi with the ointment he had configured.

I was anxious to chase the white cat before, but I didn't look at Li Mazi carefully. Now I found that he had lost weight, without a trace of blood on his body, and even his skin was ulcerated in many parts of his body. Important parts of his body were swollen. At first glance, he looked like a mummy dug out of the soil.

"How could this happen?" I asked in horror.

Senior Rat snorted coldly and said that this kid can't change the dog's food. He must have been hit by the white cat's beauty trick. If it weren't for the natal rat trying hard to save him, he would have been left with no bones left now.

Although I was so angry that my teeth were itchy, I still asked Senior Rat with concern what to do.

"I can't die. Use my ointment to block the ulcerated parts of the body to prevent the wound from continuing to ulcer. Then eat more tonics and you can slowly recover."

Senior Rat stopped talking after saying that, and smeared Li Mazi's whole body with his head on his back. The next afternoon, Li Mazi woke up, but his voice was older than before, at least twenty years old. When he heard it, he thought he was a vicissitudes of life.

Then Senior Mouse wrote a list for me, asking me to pick up medicines and apply it to Li Mazi every day, and then he packed up his things, and it seemed that he was about to leave. I asked him where he was going, and he said with red eyes that he would go to find the dying grass.

"Immortal grass?"

This is the first time I heard this name and asked curiously what it is. Senior Rat said that the immortal grass is a mushroom grass growing on a thousand-year-old cold coffin, which has the function of resurrection.

Of course, this kind of resurrection is only effective for life that is vain, but cannot save people who die in vain. Senior Rat said that because the natal rat has changed its fate with him, it has long exceeded the scope of normal life and death, and using the immortal grass can definitely save its life.

"Then I will go with you!" I thought about it and said seriously.

After all, Senior Rat has always taken good care of Li Mazi because he is concerned about my face. Now, if something happens, he can't bear it himself.

After experiencing this incident, Senior Rat seemed to be better with me. Instead of relying on his seniority as before, he acted kindly towards me. He said he could do it alone and asked me to take Li Mazi back to Wuhan as soon as possible. However, the more he said this, the more I was worried. In the end, Li Mazi went back by himself, and then followed Senior Rat for nothing.

Senior Rat couldn't persuade me, so he had to agree, but returned the iron swallow to me, saying that he just thought it was my reward for accompanying him to find the immortal grass.

Recently, we also found out the origin of the Iron Swallow. This was the iron swallow sculpture on the roof of the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han. It was specially created for Zhao Feiyan by Emperor Cheng of Han. Later, after Zhao Feiyan fell out of favor, the Iron Swallow was also demolished by craftsmen and was eventually buried with Zhao Feiyan...

So, both in terms of workmanship and historical value, Iron Swallows are of high quality goods. Conservatively, they can be sold for three million. I plan to find an opportunity to sell it.

Not to mention Liuxian skirt, it simply represents the peak of ancient handicrafts and manufacturing. Coupled with the sad love between Emperor Cheng of Han and Zhao Feiyan, Liuxian skirt has become a priceless treasure!

So I don’t plan to sell it. After the yin energy above dissipates for a while, I will give it to Yin Xinyue, so that she can dance a palm dance for me even if she is fine.

In short, after Zhao Feiyan's incident, Senior Rat didn't get a penny, and even lost his natal rat in vain. Senior Rat obviously intends to cultivate me, but this is not like his style of conduct.

I felt a little uneasy and asked him if something was going to happen. He shook his head and said nothing. In the end, I had to give up asking and instead ask him where the immortal grass was.

"Immortal grass can only be found in the deep mountains of Yunnan, because the ancestors there are good at applying poison. After death, they will put mysterious herbs in the coffin to prevent the body from being bitten by snakes and insects. These herbs will be nourished by yin energy for many years and will gradually form immortal grass!"

Senior Rat kept turning his eyes when he spoke, and he looked like he had only a little understanding of the Immortal Grass. I asked him if he had seen the Immortal Grass before. He shook his head and said that he had only heard of the Immortal Grass rumors, so this time he could only try his luck.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but remember that we tried our best to find Ye Long Dan to save Chuchu's life a long time ago, but Ye Long Dan was found, but Chuchu had already passed away.

After this comparison, I can better understand how deep the Rat's feelings for his natal rat, and I secretly made up my mind to help him find the Immortal Grass no matter what.

Senior Rat specially bought a map of Yunnan for this matter and marked a location on the map according to his general impression. I picked it up and looked at it and found that the area he was surrounding was exactly the western Yunnan region.

What I most impressed with western Yunnan is the famous western Yunnan Anti-Japanese War. Every time I see these two words, the scene of Chinese military and civilians fighting desperately with Japanese devils in Nujiang appears in my mind.

The mountains and rivers in western Yunnan are bad, and the natural environment is very harsh. There are naturally dangers in the deep mountains and forests. For safety reasons, Senior Rat took me back to his house first and took a craft similar to a crutch.

He said that this thing is called the Virgin Staff, which was a dark object that he had subdued. It was the weapon of Virgin Mother of White Lotus, the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the Qing Dynasty. She used her religious beliefs to guide the people to resist the brutal rule of the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately she was finally defeated and killed.

Then he took out a cold Emei thorn and handed it to me, saying that my whip can only be hit seven times at a time, and I need an extra self-defense item.

"What kind of baby is this?"

I asked with my teeth bared, and Senior Rat waved his hand and said, "Don't be secretly happy, this Emei thorn is just borrowed for you first, and I have to return it to me if I look back!"

I nodded repeatedly, and gave it to me both the fairy skirt and the Tie Yanzi. I was really embarrassed to cheat him again. Only then did Senior Rat tell me that this Emei thorn was a magic weapon that Taoist Baimei, the head of the Emei Sect, once used by Taoist Baimei.

"Can you stop pretending and join the Emei Sect? Why don't you talk about the Wudang Sect?" I said with a lip.

Senior Rat slapped me on the neck and said angrily that you boy don’t know a lot, just take ordinary people as an example. Will they believe in our erotic businessman industry?

When I heard that it made sense, I didn't say anything more. After packing the things, I took a plane to Kunming.

After arriving in Kunming, we diverted to Tengchong County, Baoshan City, where three major rivers gathered and retained the most primitive style under the protection of 100,000 mountains.

Tengchong borders Myanmar, and almost every time the Central Plains region changes dynasty, it will be baptized by blood! After the reform and opening up, with the rise of tourism, the local economic level has improved a little.

Senior Rat and I arrived in Tengchong in the evening. After a walk around, we couldn't find a suitable hotel. Fortunately, the weather was good, so we took advantage of the moonlight to walk out of the county town.

Senior Rat said that the older the mountain, the more likely it is to appear in the mountains, the more we can appear, so our purpose is also very clear, and we are directly close to the highest mountain that can be seen from the sight.

The weather was a little cold in the second half of the night, and we were a little tired, so we set up a simple tent on the hillside to rest.

When it was almost dawn, I was awakened by urine and crawled out of the tent for a while. When I turned around and went back, I suddenly heard a strange sound from the deep mountains.

The sound was like a fox yelling, but when I heard it carefully, it seemed like a woman was crying. Because I was too far away, I couldn't tell what was calling! I stood there and observed that there was nothing strange around the tent, so I boldly went back to sleep.

It was already noon when we woke up. Because the weather was not very good, there was no pedestrian on the small road at the foot of the mountain. The two of us pulled a few cans and carried our luggage to continue on our way forward.

I remembered the sound I heard in the early morning and mentioned it to Senior Rat. After hearing this, he nodded and said that there must be many strange things in this place, so I told me not to care. I also said that as long as it did not affect us, I would pretend that I didn’t know anything.

After walking for a whole day, we entered the Ma'anshan area. Volcanoes near Tengchong are very common, but the most famous of them is Ma'anshan, which is named after the shape of the top of the mountain resembles a saddle.

Although it is a volcano, there are three freshwater lakes on the mountain and there are vegetation on the surface, especially the lush aquatic plants at the foot of the mountain, which has become a cemetery for local residents.

There are many graves at the foot of the mountain, and the fewer graves go up. But I can see that the longer I go up the graves, the longer I go up, because some graves have been dug up and the coffin boards are thrown all over the ground, and they are undoubtedly patronized by tomb robbers...

I occasionally saw signs left by relevant departments along the way, which means that Ma'anshan has also been developed. I couldn't help but ask a little discouraged: Senior Rat, this has become a scenic spot, will there still be immortal grass?"

"Silly boy, attractions like this can be surrounded by places that cannot be visited. Have you not read the news? Many tourists die in scenic spots every day, but they are actually trying to die."

Senior Rat lit a cigarette and said angrily: "They must have entered the restricted area to satisfy their curiosity!"

After hearing this, I agreed and didn't say anything. Sure enough, we encountered a roadblock at noon. A layer of barbed wire was surrounded by a piece of wire, and together with the thorn bushes next to it, blocking the road up the mountain.

The sign says the construction of the mountaintop, but the paint on it is not good enough to fall off, obviously just a cover. I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Senior Rat. He smiled stinkingly and took out two pairs of hiking boots from his bag.

After changing my shoes, I broke two branches as thick as a baby's arms and walked carefully along the thorn bushes.

The thorn bush is very big, nearly two miles away, the surface is full of needle-burned shrubs and weeds, and there are swamps and mud underground. If you are not careful, you will fall into it. So we walked very carefully and took two hours to walk out.

At this time, looking around, the trees around the development were much denser than before, and many places were emitting purple-black gas.

"This should be miasma. We have to wait until night before going in!" Senior Rat licked his lips as he looked at the miasma and said cautiously.

After hearing this, I felt a little shocked and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Miasma is a poisonous gas formed in tropical climates. It was born in high temperature and closed environments after the corpses of animals and plants died. The most famous allusion is that Zhuge Liang encountered miasma when he pacified the Southern Barbarians. At that time, many Shu troops were poisoned to death. At present, senior rats and I did not wear gas masks at all, so if we go in rashly, we may not be able to get out.

Fortunately, miasma does not exist for twenty-four hours, which is very similar to dew, except that the dew evaporates as the sun comes out, while the miasma dissipates with the arrival of the night.
