After the great earthquake in Kunlun, the mountain and the foot of the mountain were in a mess. Under the command of the Headmaster, Reverend Idle Month, coupled with the fact that the disciples of the famous sects were indeed outstanding, the situation of the Kunlun Party was soon stabilized. Many chores, such as disaster relief, repairs, and so on, were carried out one by one, so no one panicked.
However, the impact of this earthquake was very great. In many places, walls and houses collapsed. Although the casualties in the Kunlun Party were not as high as in Kunwu City at the foot of the mountain, the troublesome thing was that because the epicenter of the earthquake was deep in the mountains, many places had mountain ridges shifted and rivers changed course. The consequences caused by this were also very troublesome.
The most important medicinal garden of the Kunlun Party under Baicao Tang, Liuxiang Garden, was one of the places that suffered the worst damage.
In the originally flat area of the herb garden, there were many huge fissures in the ground, and at the same time, all kinds of oddly shaped rocks and soil were everywhere. They were formed by the huge distortion and compression of the ground during the calamity last night.
Under such a natural disaster, the countless treasures and precious spiritual plants in Liuxiang Garden could be considered to be very unlucky. Large areas of the precious medicinal garden were directly destroyed. Many spiritual plants were either broken or damaged, all kinds of fruits and leaves fell, or all of them were buried in the soil by the uprooted rocks and sand. The most unfortunate thing was that the spiritual plants that just happened to grow above those unfathomably deep fissures directly disappeared after the disaster, and no one knew where they went.
At present, everywhere in the Kunlun Party was busy. The other halls had their own problems and couldn't take care of Liuxiang Garden. Baicao Tang also had many foundations, so they temporarily lacked manpower and couldn't send many people to help here. They could only first protect and rescue those extremely valuable and rare treasures in the deepest part of Liuxiang Garden. As for the periphery, they couldn't take care of it for the time being.
At dawn, Black Dog came to the place outside the Liuxiang Garden. Compared with usual, the situation of this place, which was originally tightly guarded, looked very bad. Although the erected high walls and fences hadn't completely collapsed, collapsed cracks could be seen everywhere. It was almost as if there were none.
Looking through the cracks, the situation in the grass garden was also miserable. The soil was tumbling and the plants were falling. It was like a grassland, and there were not many people around.
Atsu craned its neck to look around for a while, then turned its head to look at the forest in the distance. Usually, that Oxen would hide there and secretly peep at the Fragrant Garden, making strange movements and expressions.
Atsu stood there and thought for a while. Then, he tiptoed into the Grass Garden through a crack.
As soon as he entered the grass garden, the fragrance of spirit medicine in the air suddenly became much stronger, even stronger than usual. The reason for this should be the broken spirit grass and trees that could be seen everywhere, probably emitting their last breath.
The scene was rather miserable.
Atsu carefully looked around for a while. After confirming that there was no one nearby, it began to sniff and move forward, as if it was looking for something.
In a medicinal garden like the Fragrant Garden, the most abundant thing was, of course, spirit grass.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Atsu to see the spirit grass that was usually very precious. However, most of them were now buried in the soil, or broken and listless. Atsu looked at them for a while and didn't seem very satisfied, so it continued to move forward.
The grass garden was quite quiet, but as time passed, some birds could occasionally be seen flying in from the surrounding forest and began to gorge themselves on the spirit grass that they had been longing for for a long time. It seemed that this great earthquake was not a very bad thing for the birds and animals on Kunlun Mountain.
Atsu glanced at the birds that were pecking at a few severed spirit grass nearby, and a look of contempt appeared in its eyes. Then, it barked a few times in that direction, which immediately startled the birds and made them fly up. After a while, they landed again and continued to peck.
Atsu proudly turned its head and walked into the depths of the grass garden.
As it walked, the fragrance in the air suddenly became stronger than before. Atsu seemed to have sensed it and seemed to be a little excited. It looked around and even began to trot. Not long after, a small mound that had just been formed by compression appeared in front of it. Atsu took a big stride and jumped on it. Suddenly, it only felt that everything in front of it was suddenly clear. Below the small mound was a rare piece of flat land that had not been damaged. It was a delightful sight of green grass. Especially in the center of this small piece of green grass, there was a unique spirit grass growing. Its stem and leaves were emerald green, and its head had red branches. There were nine crystal clear, red and purple fruits growing on it. The bursts of fragrance came from this spirit grass.
Atsu grinned, and its eyes shone.
…
On this day, the situation on Mount Kunlun had basically settled down by the time the afternoon arrived. Hundred Herb Hall had also begun to mobilize manpower, including many odd job disciples, to the Flowing Fragrance Garden to begin rescuing the spiritual herbs.
Of course, Lu Chen was also among them. When he followed the crowd to the grass garden, he was a little speechless when he saw the tragic situation in the herb garden. Then, he thought about the value of the damaged spirit grass and thought that this time, Baicao Tang was going to lose a lot of money.
The person who was sent to command this disaster relief was a Jin Dan Friar from Baicao Tang. His name was Lin Sheng. At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged man in his early forties.
This person was very capable, and he was able to give commands calmly. He arranged everything in a short time. First, he asked all the handyman disciples who cultivated spirit power to check the damage of the spirit grass in the spiritual fields that they were in charge of. If they could save the spirit grass, they would do so. If they could not, they would report the situation. The other disciples who came along with him, such as the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Stage, were given priority to repair the formations, high walls and fences, and to drive away the birds and beasts that were still stealing spiritual materials in the spiritual fields to minimize losses.
In this way, everyone had something to do. Lu Chen also walked to his spiritual field, wondering if the Red Ambergris had escaped the disaster. If it was unlucky and did not escape, he was afraid that Su Qingjun, who valued this spirit grass very much, would be depressed to death.
He hurried all the way, bypassing many crooked ridges and many deep pits and mounds that suddenly appeared. Lu Chen finally arrived at the edge of his spiritual field. At first glance, he saw that the terrain here was flat, and there were many green ginseng grass. Lu Chen was delighted.
But then his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the center of the spiritual field in astonishment. He took a few steps and saw that in the center of the spiritual field, there was a big pit where the Red Ambergris had been planted. The Red Ambergris had disappeared!
"This …" Lu Chen was speechless for a moment. Then, he frowned and squatted down beside the pit. He first looked at the black soil in the pit. He saw that the soil was fresh and moist, as if it had not been dug out for a long time. There were many white thin roots in the soil. Those were the roots of the Red Ambergris. Many places had been directly torn off. At this time, he could still see the milky white medicinal juice slowly seeping out from the thin roots, giving off a strange smell.
"It's been stolen." Lu Chen muttered to himself, and then looked around. Almost without much effort, he found some suspicious traces on the grass next to him.
Those were footprints with black soil, stepping on the grass. They were not very conspicuous, but if he looked carefully, he could still see the direction in which they left. They led to a mountain forest outside the Fragrance Garden.
Lu Chen walked a few steps nearby, and his eyes finally fell on the most distinct footprints at the edge of the pit. Looking at the shape, strength, and size, there seemed to be one of the four footprints that was different from the others. It looked much lighter, and it looked a little strange. It looked like … a person with a lame leg walking?
The expression on Lu Chen's face suddenly became a little strange.
He stood up and looked around. Seeing that there seemed to be no one paying attention to this place, he then looked down at the footprints left behind by the herb thief. The more he looked, the more he shook his head. He cursed, "Idiot, if I had known this would happen, I would have killed him and stewed him!"
With a cold snort, Lu Chen looked a little annoyed. He turned around and wanted to leave, but after a few steps, he suddenly cursed to himself again. He then turned around and walked to the edge of the pit. Looking around, he coughed and kicked the pile of soil at the side, sweeping a large amount of soil down and covering up most of the marks in the pit.
Following that, he walked along the black soil footprints on the ground, and quietly stepped on the side of the footprints. Immediately, black soil could be seen everywhere, covering up the row of strange footprints.
After doing this, Lu Chen shook his head and walked to the front of the garden, preparing to go back and report his losses. At the same time, he muttered in a low voice, so low that only he could hear it.
"Hmm, I'll eat it when it's fat! I'll eat it when it's fat … "
…
Trekking over mountains and rivers, passing through forests and rivers, a black figure ran happily in the mountains of Kunlun after the great earthquake.
Atsu held a huge ginseng in its mouth. The ginseng's roots were still sticky with soil, and the top of the ginseng had nine red fruit ginseng ears. The ginseng fluttered in the mountain wind, like a flag of victory, unhindered.
It ran all the way, as if it was especially energetic today. Its pair of dog eyes were bright and full of expression, shining as if it was full of hope for the future of its "dog life".
Running, running, running, running, it saw the Dog Head Mountain. It came to the foot of this strange mountain that had once gathered countless celestial birds and auspicious beasts.
The strange thing was that on this day, all the animals were gone, and the Dog Head Mountain looked a little deserted. Atsu was a little surprised and stopped to look around. It found that all the celestial birds and beasts had indeed left. Only on the top of the Dog Head Mountain, there seemed to be a huge body lying there, as if it was sleeping quietly.
Atsu suddenly became excited and ran up the mountain. Its slightly lame hind legs made it look a little tired and a little funny, but it didn't care at all and just ran all the way up the Dog Head Mountain.
Oxen was lying there with its eyes closed. It didn't react to the arrival of Atsu, as if it was still sleeping.
Atsu carefully walked over, and then slowly put the huge ginseng in its mouth in front of Oxen's bull head. Then it took a step back, looked at Oxen, and wagged its tail a few times.
"Woof! Woof woof! "
Atsu barked a few times at Oxen.
