Chapter 7: Travel the world!
"...So, are you running to this snow-capped mountain area to collect herbs?" Hao Qi spat out a smoke ring and was immediately blown away by Ling Lie's cold wind, but Hao Qi didn't care at all. He was naked and his strong muscles made him look energetic.
Zhang Heng sat next to him trembling. It was no wonder that Zhang Heng was at the top of a mountain that was thousands of meters tall, and it was covered with snow all year round. Although it was summer, the temperature here was at least about minus ten degrees Celsius, and the wind was strong. Zhang Heng was not an internal force realm. It would be strange if he was not cold in this environment.
The two of them had just finished their supper. In fact, it was dinner, but it was better to say it was a midnight snack. After all, Hao Qi saved Zhang Heng, sorted out his tent, settled Zhang Heng, and then went to hunt a giant beast like flying on the snow-capped mountains, and then roasted it thoroughly. In fact, it was already at least one or two in the morning when the two of them were having dinner.
Both of them are warriors, especially Hao Qi has become an internal force realm. If you eat it with your stomach, the food you eat can be digested at a digestive speed of dozens of times that of ordinary people, and the digestive efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people. Now you have hurt some energy. Most of a green beast has eaten more than half. Zhang Heng is also a warrior. According to Hao Qi's perspective, he is still a very strong warrior. Although he has not yet trained his body to the quasi-internal force realm, his physical foundation has been very solid. As long as the nutrition can keep up with it and he has better martial arts skills, he can train to the quasi-internal force realm within one or two years.
The two of them let go of their stomachs to eat and drink. In just a moment, the green beast was eaten into a skeleton. It can be seen that Zhang Heng did not seem to be a wealthy family, and Hao Qi was also a poor orphan. The two of them didn't care about it and bit the bones of the green beast to pieces and suck the bone marrow inside. Then they finally gave up. Both of them seemed to be very satisfied with eating.
After the meal, the two of them had no intention of rest and sat on the top of the mountain to chat. Hao Qi only learned from Zhang Heng's words that Zhang Heng was from Baicao Kingdom, and as Zhang Heng said, he was a student from Baicao Kingdom's Medical University. This time he stayed in this snow-capped mountain area to search and collect herbs here.
Zhang Heng heard Hao Qifa’s question. He took a sip of the wine that Hao Qi gave him before, enjoying the mellowness of the wine, and then said: “Yes, this season is the most famous medicinal material in the snow-capped mountain area. Cordyceps sinensis is the season when Cordyceps sinensis is produced. It is a cold silkworm in the winter ice and snow. Ice and snow are like jade. In summer, it will become a plant of ice and snow on the snowy mountain. If it is not close, the naked eye cannot distinguish this medicinal material in the snow. Moreover, the higher the altitude of Cordyceps sinensis, the better its medicinal properties. It is said that if Cordyceps sinensis on the top of the giant mountain with an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, it is a treasure of nature. Ordinary people can greatly improve their basic physical quality. Even if they eat it in the internal force realm, they can purify internal force and increase the spaciousness of the internal force circulation system in the body. It is an unparalleled treasure of nature and earth."
"Oh oh oh? There is Cordyceps here too?" Hao Qiben planned to talk about this world, but he still changed his words in time. He also knew that the Cordyceps in this world was definitely not the Cordyceps on the earth in his previous life. It can be seen from Zhang Heng's description that the Cordyceps in this world is probably another biological plant that is worm in winter and grass in summer.
"Yes." Zhang Heng nodded affirmatively, "Although Cordyceps may be a treasure of nature, it can only be born on the top of a mountain above 10,000 meters. Ordinary Cordyceps is actually a relatively precious herb, distributed in the snow-capped mountains area and is widely distributed. From medical skills, I saw that in addition to the eastern part of the Blue Sea, there are actually more Cordyceps in the northern part of the Blue Sea. After all, there are continuous mountains in the back of the Blue Sea. It is said that Cordyceps, which occasionally finds treasures in heaven and earth, are there. I really want to go there to see a new scenery."
"Hahaha, that's it!"
Hao Qi laughed out loud, laughing happily, and couldn't help but pat Zhang Heng on the shoulder, almost directly patting Zhang Heng down the mountain. Then Hao Qi stood up and faced the wind and snow naked. He said loudly: "Men always pursue something in this world! Do you know? I am an orphan. I have not had enough food since I was a child and I don't have warm clothes. But I have a good brother, a really loyal brother. He goes to do some sneaky little life, earn money for me, so that I can practice martial arts and let me explode my internal strength. I agreed with him that after I exploded my internal strength, he followed me to eat delicious food, and then walked around the world with me. We have to see all the scenery of the world, travel all the places in the world, and eat all the food in the world. This is my pursuit and dream!"
Zhang Heng was a little envious and nodded in confusion. He suddenly asked, "What about your brother?"
"Die." Hao Qi did not shy away at all, but looked at Zhang Heng very directly and sincerely: "He died, died on his way of life. I said before that we are orphans, without any power or background, nor any relatives or family. We were all young at that time, and he wanted to support me in practicing martial arts... You are also a martial artist. You should know that you must keep up with the nutrition to practice martial arts. Whether it is eating meat or tonics, you always have to have it. So he can only do some tricks of stealing, just to achieve my dream. He joined those underworlds since he was a child, and was beaten, scolded, and did things he disliked against his conscience. Just to make so little more money..."
"But the underworld is inevitably involved too much. The gang he is inadvertently involved in the struggle of the aristocratic families and was cleaned up. There was no last words, no last meeting, and even his corpse could not be found. He died in obscurity... I exploded my internal force several days after his death, and then killed an internal force realm of that family, and forced the family to kill all the family children who were in charge, but I... could no longer fulfill my brother's dream."
Hao Qi stood on the top of the mountain, and did not wait for Zhang Heng to say anything sad, but continued to say loudly: "A world, two brothers, I will not say anything regretful, because it has passed, and even if I regret my brother, I will not be able to resurrect me. I can only say that I will never make the same mistake again. If I make it, I will earn it with death! At the same time, I will live on my behalf, I will realize my dream, and I will travel all over the world!"
Zhang Heng saw Hao Qi like this, and when he heard such words, he felt very heartbroken. Such freedom and freedom made people sigh. Zhang Heng was also very excited. He hurriedly said: "Me too, I want to find the place where the treasures of heaven and earth grow all over the world. You don't know. I have seen them from ancient books, medical skills, and various things. Those treasures of heaven and earth have their own special environments for their growth, and they are all fate that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth. For example, it is necessary to have a mountain that is as high as ten thousand meters high as ten thousand meters. Can you imagine a mountain above ten thousand meters? It is said that even the north of the Blue Ocean is only a few peaks in ten thousand meters.
Above meter, but as I have learned from some travel records, there is the legendary ancestor of the mountains on the Black Sea, which is as high as 100,000,800 meters. It is said that the environment is pitch black at that height. It looks like our world is bright, and it seems that it is almost impossible to breathe on it. It is very wonderful... And, the legendary red lotus grows deep in the underground magma pool with extremely high temperature and extremely high pressure, but the magma pool also needs a lotus pond formed by normal temperature and mud. By coincidence, the black red lotus among the treasures of heaven and earth can be born. And... "
Hao Qi smoked and listened to Zhang Heng's words. He had only peace in his heart. Seeing Zhang Heng's speeches more and more excited, he said: "That's true, everyone has their own dreams and beliefs, and dreams and beliefs are not distinguished from each other's ideas and persistence. This is very good. Work hard for your dreams, slutty."
Because the mountain wind was very strong, and Zhang Heng was in a state of excitement, he didn't hear Hao Qi's last two words clearly for a while. He seemed to be thinking about finding those fantasy places where treasures were in the future. His mood became more and more exciting, and his face turned red. However, he seemed to have thought of something again, his face turned red and white. After a long time, he sighed, then raised his head and took a sip of wine, sighed, but he didn't say anything.
Hao Qi saw all this, but he did not express any comfort. The sorrow and suffering in a man's heart need to be faced by himself. No matter what, it needs to be like this, otherwise can he still be called a man who stands tall? Of course, the kind of thought that bragging about equality between men and women is not a sin or something. Hao Qi doesn't comment, everyone has their own ambitions.
Hao Qi just handed a small jade bottle of wine to Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng first shook the bottle in his hand, and after confirming that there was no alcohol in it, he stepped on it, took another sip, and breathed, "As long as I verify the 'that'... I will leave everything behind and travel. This is my dream since I was a child, and I will definitely complete it in the future!"
Hao Qi just listened silently and didn't say much. The two of them slowly drank wine and smoked, and sat for a long time. Hao Qi suddenly stood up. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He was on the top of the mountain. Although it was not the kind of majestic mountain that was beyond the world, people stood here and looked at the distance, and could see at least tens of thousands of kilometers away. There was no curved horizon in this world, but it was far away, all kinds of fog and various black shadows blocked it, so they could only see what was in their sight, but this was already very shocking. At least Hao Qi had never seen such a shocking scene in his previous life.
And at the extreme far end of the line of sight, in the darkness covered by night, a little afterglow slowly rose from the bottom of the horizon. First, there were tiny light spots, and the light spots became larger, almost dyeing the horizon red, suddenly, a fiery red gushed out from the horizon, and the rising sun... appeared!
Hao Qi looked at all this with emotion. This is why he insisted on camping on the top of the mountain. The cold wind was strong all night, just for the Chaoyang at this moment, everything was worth it, and not only him, Zhang Heng, who was standing next to him, also stared at the Chaoyang for a long time without saying a word.
The two of them stood for a long time, and after Chaoyang had completely escaped from the horizon, Hao Qi exhaled and said, "Pack up your luggage and let's go down the mountain. By the way, Brother Zhang, you came from Baicao Kingdom. Is this far away from Baicao Kingdom?"
Zhang Heng withdrew his gaze and replied, "It's quite far away. I set out from the school half a month ago, and then walked for about ten days before I came here. However, I didn't completely cross this mountain range. There were several giant mountains in front of me blocking the road. The height and steepness made me unable to climb up at all. There were also beasts. It was a forbidden area marked in the school. I came here through the underground passage."
"Underground passage!?" Hao Qi repeated it, his voice a little higher. Obviously he was very interested in the underground passage, and his face showed a strong expression of interest.
"Yeah, underground passage!"
