When a few people heard the good news, they realized that it was like this, that it was actually like this.

They just said that when they had just eaten, this Taoist priest had not eaten less, and unlike those monks who had no rules and regulations, he did not eat meat and fish, and he even had a drink.

At that time, they felt that those rumors must not be credible.

Because after entering the city in the morning, they had already walked around, and they lost interest when they walked out of the city.

There really isn't much to see in Banshan City, and it's getting late now. I watched the excitement of throwing hydrangeas to attract brides, then went to a restaurant for lunch, and stayed in the jade carving shop for more than two hours. The sun has already set.

Went west.

They bought some dry food near the city gate and followed the Feng Dao people out of the city.

They exited through the North City Gate. After exiting, there was the moat. After passing the moat, they reached a large farmland. The crops in the field swayed in the wind, rising and falling like green waves, and made a rustling sound.

The group of people drove the car onto a small road, which was not narrow enough for two carriages to pass. Feng Dao said: "This road leads directly to the cliff halfway up the mountain. On weekdays, many people want to drive to the halfway up the mountain.

By collecting the materials for making jade cakes, the road will gradually become wider and wider."

The road is not only wide but also very smooth. It can be seen that people often walk on it.

Perhaps because of the time, they encountered no other vehicles or pedestrians along the way.

After walking out of the farmland and into the mountains, the road began to twist and turn.

When the two cars reached a flat area, there was no road ahead.

Feng Taoist jumped out of the driveway and said, "This is it. People who come here to collect jade cake materials usually park their carriages and horses here and then walk into the mountain.

In fact, the material used to make jade cake is not vanilla. That is just a way of saying it to outsiders. In fact, the material used to make jade cake is a kind of leaf."

Feng Taoist pointed to a particularly thick tree not far away and said: "It's that kind of tree. Of course, it doesn't mean that all the leaves on the tree can be made into jade cakes, but the emerald green ones at the top of the tree."

The young leaves and the darker ones below are old and cannot be used.

Otherwise, the resulting pastry will be very bitter and difficult to swallow. However, the young leaves that have just grown out will not only have a sweet feeling, but also have their own fragrance."

Jiayin and others looked in the direction of his finger and found that the tree was really strong.

The trees on this half-mountain are very thick, maybe because the climate here is like spring all year round and they are growing all year round, so they all look like hundreds of years old trees in the north.

The tree that Feng Taoist mentioned was thicker and had many vines hanging from it, which looked a bit scary.

Jiayin asked: "What is this tree called?"

The Feng Taoist replied: "This tree is called a lotus tree. It is a tree unique to this place. The reason why it is called this name is because the tree blooms in March every year. The flower shape is very similar to the lotus tree, and the color is tender pink and very beautiful.

"Then will this tree bear fruit? Are there flowers that can be eaten?" Jiayin then asked.

Feng Taoist shook his head in a funny way. This little girl only focused on eating. "This tree will not bear fruit. After the flowers fall, it will produce some seeds. But if the seeds fall on the ground, they will not grow into small trees."

, this tree is propagated by branching, so the seeds actually have no effect.

Moreover, the seeds are pitch black and very hard, just like pearls. Many people punch holes in the middle of the seeds and wear them to make bead curtains or bracelets, which are very beautiful."

Jiayin said with a curious face: "Can you still find seeds near that tree now? I heard the Taoist priest say that the seeds should be very beautiful."

The Feng Taoist smiled and said: "There should be some under the tree that haven't been picked up by anyone. You can go look for them. They are really beautiful like pearls."

After hearing the good news, Liu Yu'er pulled Liu Yu'er and ran towards the big tree, and the two of them started searching around the tree.

Fortunately, the sun had just set and the sky was still bright.

The two of them quickly found a few round black beads near the tree trunk. When they picked them up, they found that they were really shiny black.

It's just that it feels very light in the hand, not as textured as it looks.

I searched around again, and Jiayin found a dozen in total, and put them directly in my pocket. I thought about going back and getting a needle to poke a hole in each one, and make it into a chain to wear on my hand. It would look pretty good.

.

Obviously, Liu Yu'er thought so too. She also said that she had found about twenty of them nearby, which could almost fit on her wrist.

Seeing that it was getting late, I decided not to delay any longer and settle down first.

After that, they followed Feng Taoist to have a look near the cave where he lived. Feng Taoist looked at the carriage and donkey cart, frowned and said, "Is it okay to put this cart here? Although few people go up the mountain at night, it is not absolute.

"

The implication is that it is not safe to put it here, and it is likely to be taken away.

Jiayin and others shook their heads and said: "Don't worry, no one else can take our carriage or donkey cart away, and there are guards inside."

When Feng Daoren heard this, his eyes were full of doubts. Is there someone else in the car? Then he said: "Then why don't you see the kid watching the car come down to do some activities?"

Jiayin was stunned, oh, it seems that Feng Taoist had misunderstood.

He turned towards the donkey cart and shouted: "Pangpang! Come out and say hello to the Taoist priest!"

Feng Taoist also turned his head and looked around. Hearing the name, he seemed to be a child.

I saw the curtain in front of the donkey cart move, and a dark and wide bear paw stretched out from inside.

Feng Taoist was shocked! Those claws were obviously those of a black bear!

Immediately afterwards, a big black and white head appeared, waving its claws at him naively, and making two noises, as if it was really saying hello to him.

Feng Daoren was stunned for a moment, blinked, and looked at Jiayin and the others, "How come this bear... is so... uh, the color is actually black and white?"

The brothers of the Fang family couldn't help laughing. Fang Zhiwen explained: "Taoist Master, this is not a bear, this is an iron-eating beast. We adopted it from Dongshan County. It is very intelligent and can communicate with people, and

The force of force is also very high. If someone is misbehaving, you can beat them half to death with just one claw."

In fact, it can be directly shot to death. Of course, this needs no explanation.

The Feng Taoist nodded and said: "I see, it's no different than a bear. If it were a bear, it could beat a person half to death with one paw. I think that although the color is different from that of a bear, the force is the same.

But when these two black and white colors are paired together, they look much more naive than the blind bear. People can’t help but have the urge to go up and rub its big head.”

Pangpang ran out of the car and rubbed around Jiayin. After being rubbed by Jiayin, he stopped. Feng Taoist couldn't help but touch it.

Jiayin ordered: "Pangpang, please keep an eye on the car. If someone wants to steal the car, beat him. Of course, don't hit him too hard. Just beat him away. If there are many people, just call us."

, do you know?"

Pangpang nodded and said to Jiayin: "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Nao Nao kicked the donkey's hoof angrily twice, "As long as I'm here, there's no need for it!"

Jiayin Chuanyin reassured: "Isn't it true that in the eyes of Feng Dao people, Pangpang is more powerful than you? Of course I know that the main force is still making trouble for you."

This was a one-way message transmitted from Jiayin to Nao Nao, and it was not said by mouth, so Pangpang didn't hear it, otherwise the two would start a fight again.

After making arrangements here, they followed Feng Taoist and walked toward the cave where he lived.

Let's go take a look at the nearby caves first to see which one is more suitable for them to live in. It won't be too late for them to come back and move their luggage.

The Feng Taoist took them along the side path.

There are trees on one side of the path and rocks on the other. To the right of the path is the cliff that looks like it has been split straight by a knife.

However, this path is concave, like a small ditch, so it feels quite safe to walk on.

Only when you climb to the right can you see the bottom of the cliff. There is no danger of falling down, even if it rains and the road becomes slippery.

However, if it rains heavily on this road, water will accumulate and become a small ditch.

I followed Feng Taoist and walked not far forward. Within half a quarter of an hour, I discovered that there were many vines hanging on the mountain wall on the left, covering the entire mountain wall.

I think this is why Feng Taoist's cave is not easily discovered. It is completely covered by vines. If there is a cave, you can't find it even if you look carefully.

Sure enough, the Feng Daoist stood at a relatively dense vine and stretched out his hand to pull it out. It turned out to be a door woven with vines! It couldn't be seen at all from the outside.

The entrance of the cave is not small, and it is perfectly fine for two people to go in side by side.

Moreover, the entrance of the cave faces the sun. Although the sun has set, there is still enough light outside, so once the vine door of the cave is opened, it will not be so dark that you can't see anything inside, just a little bit dark.

They followed the Feng Taoist into it and took a look around. The cave was not small, as big as two rooms.

I saw a wooden bed in the innermost part with a bedding on it. Outside there were two chairs, a table, and wooden shelves with pots and pans on them.

The pot and stove are built next to the cave. It seems that it is convenient to exhaust smoke when cooking. Just open the cave door.

They looked inside for a while and then came out. The Feng Dao people took them forward. After only a few dozen steps, they found a small pool next to a waterfall.

In fact, it is not the kind of deep pool under the waterfall that they thought. It is a line of water splashed out by the waterfall, which falls into a stone pit that is more than half a foot deep, forming a puddle.

.

And this waterfall is not small. There is a branch line here, and it is several feet wide next to it, falling straight to the bottom of the cliff!

They couldn't see how high the cliff was here, but they could hear the sound of the waterfall falling far away and huge. Looking at it from a distance, the waterfall should look as majestic as a white chain.

This small puddle is in the perfect location for daily drinking by Fengdao people. The water is crystal clear and very clean, and there is a protruding stone on it, covering half of the puddle, which just prevents it from being exposed to the sun.

It is dry, so the water can survive.

The Feng Taoist took them to see the pool, and then took them towards a fork in the road next to it.

It is said to be a fork in the road, but it is actually a wide stone gap that can accommodate two people.

The Feng Dao people walked in front and led the way, and they followed closely behind.

After walking for another half-quarter of an hour, Feng Taoist pointed to a slope. The cave was on it. You could see it by walking around the boulder.
