Chapter 136: Set off! Into the woods
The Selaginella plant has an evolutionary history of 4 million years and is the oldest group of land plants to date.
Feng Xiaodao knew that this plant had extremely strong vitality. After being dried, it would grow again when put into water, so it was also commonly known as the resurrection grass. He just didn't know if this thing existed in the Land of Sakura.
However, Feng Xiaodao still agreed: "I understand, let me take care of this matter!"
"Thank you very much, Xiaodao-kun!" Kanae smiled happily.
"There's no need to talk about this between us!"
Just as the two were discussing where to start looking for this plant, Ichiro on the side suddenly said.
"Teacher, I know where to find the resurrection grass you are talking about. When I was a child, my father took me to collect herbs and I saw it. It is very similar to what Master Huazhu described!"
Feng Xiaodao was delighted. He didn't expect that after searching for a long time, he would find it without any effort.
"Da Lang, are you sure?"
After recalling for a while, Yuichiro nodded affirmatively, "I am sure that the plants I have seen have also been seen by Muichiro!"
"Brother is right. I also have an impression of this plant. It's just that I didn't know its name at that time. I just thought it looked very beautiful!" Wuichiro also nodded in confirmation.
Feng Xiaodao made a prompt decision, "Well, Dalang, you and I will go together to find the Resurrection Grass tomorrow!"
Ichiro nodded happily. Being able to help the teacher was really great for Ichiro who had always been grateful.
"I'll go with you!" The kind-hearted Muichiro also wanted to contribute.
Feng Xiaodao shook his head and refused, "Erlang, forget it. You still have to go back to the garrison to guard it. This time you have been delayed for a few days. You can't just abandon the affairs of the garrison."
Wuyilang nodded sensibly, and the matter was happily decided.
Afterwards, Feng Xiaodao went to the action team again. After learning that there were no special circumstances, he asked Yamaguchi and Chijuro to arrange everything he had instructed. Then he came back and prepared to pack up and set off early the next morning.
The next morning, at daybreak, Feng Xiaodao and You Yilang set out on their journey to find the resurrection grass.
Along the way, they followed the route that Youyilang remembered. The scenery along the way was beautiful, but Feng Xiaodao had no intention of appreciating it, as he was only obsessed with finding the Resurrection Grass.
After several days of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the place that Youzhilang mentioned.
"How about Dalang, can you still hold on?"
Feng Xiaodao looked at Youyilang who was sweating profusely and asked, "It's not easy to get into the primeval forest. There are no opened roads, and there are thorns and bushes everywhere."
With the trees blocking out the sun, the forest was dark and stuffy.
"It's okay, it's a good way to exercise!" Youzhilang never complained about the harsh environment. This little bit of hardship was nothing compared to living alone with his younger brother.
"Sigh~~"
Suddenly, a colorful poisonous snake came out from nowhere and shot directly towards Youzhilang, with its terrifying fang-like mouth already opened.
By the time Youchiro reacted, it was already too late, and the poisonous snake was about to bite Youchiro.
There was a sharp wave in the air, and the venomous snake was split straight in half from head to tail, with blood and internal organs spilling directly into the air.
Suddenly a bloody and foul smell began to spread!
"Thank you, teacher!" Youchiro said with lingering fear.
"Forget it, let's find a place to rest! Get something to eat!" Feng Xiaodao said calmly. "Don't force yourself if you're tired, or your concentration will be reduced, and you won't be able to react when danger comes."
Youzhilang felt a little ashamed, so he did not reject Feng Xiaodao's kindness this time and nodded in agreement.
Feng Xiaodao took You Yilang to a relatively open place and made a bonfire.
Ichiro helped by gathering some dry branches and leaves, and the fire soon started.
"Take a rest, and then go see if you can hunt some prey. Remember to be safe!" Feng Xiaodao warned.
"Okay, teacher." Youyilang agreed seriously. He couldn't embarrass himself again this time.
Not long after, Ichiro brought back a few wild rabbits.
Feng Xiaodao skillfully skinned and cleaned the rabbit, then took out various prepared seasonings from somewhere, skewered them with branches and roasted them over the fire.
The rabbit meat gradually gave off an enticing aroma, and Youzhilang's stomach couldn't help but growl.
"It's almost ready to eat." Feng Xiaodao handed the roasted rabbit meat to You Yilang, and picked up a skewer to taste it.
After they finished eating, they sat around the fire to rest.
"Teacher, why didn't you use your knife to kill the poisonous snake just now?" Youzhilang finally had time to ask the doubts that had been bothering him.
I clearly didn't feel the aura of the sword, but the snake seemed to be cut in half by the sword. Could it be that the teacher's sword-drawing speed has reached a speed that is invisible to the naked eye?
Feng Xiaodao pretended to sigh and said sadly: "Alas, none of my disciples took the initiative to learn my sword breathing method, and now they come to ask me how to attack! I am a failure as a teacher!"
Yuichiro suddenly realized that it was the teacher's sword breathing method, but then he said awkwardly: "The main reason is that everyone knows that the sword breathing method should not be so easy to learn, not to mention that the teacher knows too much, so everyone tacitly didn't mention it! ”
“You are right about that. The Sword Breathing Method is indeed quite difficult. I created it by combining it with the Sun Breathing Method. It is not inferior to the Sun Breathing Method, and it focuses more on the comprehension of the sword.
The only one among all the disciples who had some understanding and could inherit my sword breathing method was your younger brother, Erlang. Unfortunately, this guy has embarked on the path of his own creation, which is a good thing, so I did not mention it. "
Feng Xiaodao was still very satisfied with these guys' keen perception.
"Then what should we do? There is no one to carry on the Sword Breathing Technique..." Yuichiro said worriedly.
"Get out! I'm still young, and it's too early for there to be no successor!" Feng Xiaodao said angrily.
"Hehe, I said the wrong thing. Teacher will definitely find a suitable junior fellow student!" Youzhilang said quickly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I can't get enough of it. I've been eating a lot lately. I really want to catch a large prey to try!" Feng Xiaodao said with lingering feeling.
"Teacher, why don't I go take another look!!" Youzhilang immediately stood up and prepared to go hunting again. How could he let the teacher starve?
"No need, hurry up and find the Resurrection Herb. Then I'll treat you to a feast in the city!!"
Youzhilang nodded. It was indeed not comfortable to eat in such a place. It would be better to find the resurrection grass as soon as possible and leave.
Suddenly there was a movement in the bushes in the distance.
Yuichiro instantly became alert and approached carefully with the Sun Blade in hand.
As a shadow that looked like a wild boar's head approached, Ichiro smiled, put away his Nichirin sword, bent down and picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground.
Whoosh! After aiming at the boar's head, he used the Rock Breathing Technique and exerted force with his arms, sending the stone flying straight toward the boar's head.
“It hurts… It hurts, who attacked me?!”
The wild boar did not fall down as expected, but instead a rough human voice was heard.
Yuichiro: The wild boar has become a spirit? ?
