Chapter 1108 The Hermit
Chapter 1108: Seclusion
An ancient word popped out of my head - Monkey Wine.
Zhang Niu didn't believe it was true, but looking at the pool covered by the big stones below, the green liquid inside became thicker, and a trace of clues could be seen from above.
Is it really Monkey Wine? It is hard for Zhang Niu to believe what he has seen, but according to the current situation, this place seems to be the place where Monkey Wine is brewed, and it feels very acquainted no matter how you look at it.
Zhang Niu walked along the pond. It was a pond about five meters long and three meters wide. I don’t know if it was formed naturally or artificially, but now it has become a pond for brewing wine.
Squatting next to the pond on the other end, Zhang Niu saw that there were a lot of fruits deposited below the pond, and another thin layer of liquid on it seemed to have been deposited for several years, becoming smooth like silk.
Zhang Niu could smell the aroma when he approached the pond. If he hadn't had a bottle on his hand, he would have wanted to scoop some and try it immediately.
Zhang Niu heard the old people in the village mention it very early. It is said that this is a good wine brewed by monkeys using fruits. Ordinary people cannot drink it because not all monkeys can brew monkey wine, so you can't encounter this opportunity when you meet monkeys in the mountains. Moreover, monkey wine is fragrant and sweet, and can be included in the best-selected good wine.
Xiao Jin was still jumping on the stone slab and looked anxious. If he didn't understand what it meant, then the bull could really hit the wall.
This place made Zhang Niu very curious about why there were stone slabs falling from above and covering the pool, especially covering the two-thirds of the area of the pool. If he hadn't been to come here to work as a hard worker, I don't know when the stone slabs on the pool would be moved out.
After walking a few more times here, Zhang Niu found that the stone seemed to fall from the wall. If you observe carefully, you can see a lot of traces. This check doesn't matter, but it was found that there were many stone slabs supporting this place similar to the stone chamber. The stone slabs that fell on the pool fell from the wall on the side, just covering the pool.
Is this where the monkey lives, or is it where the ancient seclusion masters live? Zhang Niu murmured in a low voice, touching the stone slabs with his hands, intending to see if there were any changes in these stone slabs.
After observing for a while, Zhang Niu was sure that this was a place where the ancients lived. Because he found a stone painting that surprised him on the stone slab. Although it was old, the stone paintings on the stone slab could be roughly seen, so he decided that this was the place where the ancients lived. Since no one lived here later, over time, a group of foreign monkeys occupied it.
No matter what, this is the place where the ancients live. Zhang Niu was very surprised. His mouth was opened for most of the day and he didn't close back. Just kidding, he followed Xiao Jin to the mountains and found the place where the ancients lived in seclusion. What's the matter? But now Zhang Niu needs to understand what is on this stone painting. How can he be worthy of him after finally coming and not looking at some things?
Originally, Zhang Niu thought of going out to find some water and wiping it clean so that he could see it clearly. Later, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was too troublesome, so he came up with a good idea, which was to carry all the stone slabs into the space. Anyway, it was a waste to place them here, so it would be better to put them in the space, at least it could be preserved intact and treated as a good antique.
If Zhang Niu hadn't seen the stone slabs collapsed on the pond, he would have been unable to think of this method for a while. The stone slabs in this place were probably for viewing and were not the main support. Due to the passage, the relatively solid stone slabs in ancient times inevitably became loose. Since there was a stone slab that was loose, it would be a matter of time before the loosening of a few stone slabs elsewhere. Taking advantage of the opportunity to get the space now, there are still opportunities to come in in the future.
"Xiao Jin, you really gave me a big surprise." Zhang Niu turned around in front of the stone slab, did a few chest expansion exercises, and prepared to get the stone slab up.
Xiao Jin squeaked, happier than before.
In any case, Zhang Niu has made a big gain today. If it weren't for Xiao Jin's leadership, no one would have discovered the cave under the waterfall for a while. After all, the road ahead is too difficult to walk, especially now that the residents in the mountains have moved out, which has reduced the number of times the mountain residents enter the mountains. The chances of being discovered in places like this have been greatly reduced. Unless the forest is continuously developed in the future, it may not be discovered within a few years.
Now Zhang Niu is glad that he can come here and pack up all the good things here. There is no saying that anyone will take for free, so he will naturally not hand over these things. Now that is the reason for putting them in the space, even if someone discovers this place in the future, the worst thing is to discover a pool. As for other things left behind, don’t even think about discovering them.
It’s not Zhang Niu’s bad luck, but a psychological idea. No matter who discovers a good place, the first idea is to take the things inside for yourself. If you don’t search it vigorously, you will never feel at ease.
So after doing some preparations, Zhang Niu began to work as a demolition worker. First, he took away the stone slabs covered on the pool, hugged the stone slabs and went straight into the space. When he came out of the space, stood on the edge of the pool, looked at the pool of green liquid in the quiet pool, and subconsciously swallowed.
It seemed like a jade-like color, and its refreshing fragrance completely attracted Zhang Niu.
What a good thing, the monkey is so amazing, Zhang Niu couldn't help but mutter to himself, then returned to the space, took out a small bowl from it, squatted beside the pool and gently scooped half a bowl of monkey wine.
With his eyes fixed on the monkey wine in the bowl, Zhang Niu felt indescribable. Who said that animals can't make wine? Now is the best proof. Although there are countless monkeys in the world, there are not many monkeys that can make monkey wine. Now, it's hard to find one thing, and Zhang Niu is so unhappy.
After taking a sip, a breath of nature filled the monkey wine, and as my throat penetrated into my stomach, the characteristics of the monkey wine were revealed.
Good wine! It’s really worthy of being a wine brewed by monkeys!
Zhang Niu tasted Monkey Wine for the first time. He heard in the village that he didn't believe it, but now he finally believed it. These monkeys are not simple. The winemaking technology can be passed down from generation to generation and has not disappeared in the long river of time.
After half a bowl of Monkey Wine was gone, Zhang Niu felt refreshed all over, which was similar to the health wine brewed in the space. Although those brewed through space seem to be a little different from those brewed by monkeys now. If the monkeys were transferred to the space, I wonder what the brewed Monkey Wine would be like?
Although this place is good, Zhang Niu thinks it is not a suitable place. It is so difficult to meet a group of monkeys who can make monkey wine. Zhang Niu doesn't want to stay outside like this. Who knows that he will be captured by those poachers.
There are few monkeys who can brew monkey wine. They may not be passed down from generation to generation. Maybe when the monkey wine will be cut off, it will be a loss for this society. If it is placed in the space, then monkey wine will be passed down from generation to generation. This is what Zhang Niu likes to see the most.
So in this regard, Zhang Niu still hopes to send all the monkeys to the space. As for where to choose, Xiao Jin is allowed to choose. Now Xiao Jin has a lot of prestige here, otherwise how could he appear here? Look at the monkeys who dare not come in outside and know what's going on, so there is still a good chance in this regard.
Now, Zhang Niu plans to move all these stone slabs into the space. It is not a good thing to stay outside.
Xiao Jin, who was originally worried about the stone slab, found a bamboo from somewhere. Now it should be said to be a bamboo pot. He carefully packed some monkey wine and tasted it very preciously. From time to time, he started dancing. Seeing this scene, Zhang Niu knew that Xiao Jin was a guy who likes to drink monkey wine.
Xiao Jin looked at Chi Zi Liquid intently and ignored the thief Zhang Niu, as if as long as the Chi Zi is here, everything around him is irrelevant.
So Zhang Niu, the thief, worked harder. Since there was a stone slab that had been loosened before, Zhang Niu used an iron rod to basically pry some gaps between the stone slabs, and then with the help of the tearing force of the space, the stone slabs fixed to the wall were put into the space.
For the remaining five stone slabs, Zhang Niu put a lot of effort into the end and brought them all into the space.
After coming out of the space again, Zhang Niu scooped up a small bowl of Monkey Wine. As a result, Xiao Jin was unhappy and complained that he had scooped too much, which made Zhang Niu laugh and cry. When did Xiao Jin learn to be stingy?
But if you think about it carefully, these are all made by monkeys. As Xiao Jin, who has prestige here, he must at least set an example in this regard.
This monkey wine has a lot of energy and it tastes very comfortable, but the feeling afterwards is really a bit drowsy.
Come out from inside, Xiao Jin quarreled at the monkeys, and then the monkeys screamed happily, while Xiao Jin seemed very proud.
Zhang Niu shook his head. When did Xiao Jin come to this move? It seems that he has learned a lot of things in Happy Xiao Zhu. Now you can see some tricks.
Then Zhang Niu wandered in the cave and found a bedroom-like place here. The bookshelf chiseled out on the stone wall. Unfortunately, the bamboo clips on it were damaged and there was no useful clue. Zhang Niu could only express regret for this. If he had discovered it earlier, he would have become a good thing now, but now it is moldy and can't be moldy anymore.
After coming out of the bedroom, Xiao Jin happily took Zhang Niu to another place.
In this cave, Zhang Niu paid attention to the layout of this place. This place is probably a secluded place for scholars. He did not find any martial arts practice place here. However, he admired that this secluded person dared to live in the mountains. He was really not afraid of encountering any danger.
This admiration was released soon after. It turned out that there were many mechanism traps in this cave. Because it was too long, these mechanisms could not be used.
The ancient mechanisms and traps were made very exquisitely, especially in this environment. This seclusion man was so capable. Look at the moldy arrows there, and the one who dared to come in rashly, maybe a cold arrow could kill you.
This cave is not big, but it has unique meaning. A secluded person can withstand loneliness. This is probably not something that ordinary people can do. At least Zhang Niu doesn't think it can be done.
Especially in today's society, who would be so stupid as to live in seclusion, especially on the mountain. Isn't this a cause for your own suffering? But it was different in ancient times. There were people living in seclusion everywhere, perhaps because of war or dynasty changes. Anyway, due to various reasons, many people have changed to live in seclusion on the mountain.
When Zhang Niu was led by Xiao Jin to such a place, he was completely surprised.
It turned out that under Xiao Jin's leadership, Zhang Niu came to a medicine garden that looked like it. Why did he talk about it? Because there was a stone tablet on the way outside.
This place is also inside the cave. The only difference is that it is a cave with a skylight. Anyway, no one knows how this skylight was created.
However, due to the light, a large area of lush green grass grows here, and now it is growing in a mess. Because no one manages it, the herbs here are mixed together. If it weren't for the stone tablet of the Medicine Garden mentioned earlier, Zhang Niu would not believe that this was true.
This seclusion man is really interesting. There is a bookshelves in front of him and a medicine field here. If he knows some martial arts, he will be a fan of great Japanese.
Zhang Niu didn’t understand these herbs for the time being, but if you can plant them here, they must be good things, so he thought of moving these herbs into space.
Planting here is purely a waste. If there is heavy rain here one day, the herbs here will be flooded. So Zhang Niu’s first idea is to move it into the space to make these herbs grow better. Maybe that day, these herbs will come in handy.
So Zhang Niu proposed this idea, and Xiao Jin immediately nodded and agreed. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Zhang Niu mentioned his thoughts about bringing the monkey into space to live.
This time, Xiao Jin agreed without any hesitation. This was beyond Zhang Niu's expectations. However, if you think about Xiao Jin's intelligence, if you don't know how to choose, then this matter is really a bit of a divination.
