Mingruo felt more and more that the mountain with abnormal movement was not safe. They would have to stay in Qingchuan City for a while, and it would be very dangerous if the volcano really erupted.
"How far is Xuwei Mountain from here?" Mingruo continued to ask.
"It's about a hundred miles." The man thought for a while and said, "Anyway, the carriage will take a long time to travel, but it will be faster if you ride a horse."
"Oh, bring some hot water and ask the kitchen to prepare two tables. After we wash up, we will have dinner." Mingruo took out a silver coin and rewarded the waiter.
The waiter received the reward and happily prepared hot water and meals.
"Miss Mingruo is interested in the treasures in Xuwei Mountain?" Mr. Qing Wei saw that Mingruo had been asking about the situation in Xuwei Mountain.
"I'm more interested in the strange movements in the mountains." Mingruo looked at Jun Che, "Senior brother, can you do a divination to see what the strange movements are?"
"Okay." Jun Che took out the small hexagram plate and three jade stones and started playing with them casually.
Mingruo sat at the table, holding her chin while watching her senior brother's divination: "Is it... that we should let our senior brother wash and change clothes first, and then burn a pot of incense?"
"That's not necessary." This kind of divination is very simple for Jun Che. It's almost like calculating the hidden money of a 'blind box', and it's like playing.
Mingruo looked at the hexagram stone that fell into the hexagram plate. The upper and lower yang lines and the yin line in the middle were very standard Lihuo hexagrams. Hey, a volcano is not really going to erupt.
Jun Che raised his eyebrows slightly and shook the hexagram plate again: "Although there are some abnormalities, it is not dangerous... There should be some treasures really appearing in that mountain..."
"Isn't it dangerous?" Mingruo scratched his chin.
"Xuwei Mountain is not very far away, and no one from Shangwu Sect is here. You can go and have a look tomorrow." Si Haochen said.
"Really?" Mingruo's eyes lit up.
"Have I lied to you?" Si Haochen led Mingruo back to the bedroom to wash up.
"Since I was deceived, of course I was kept in the dark and didn't know the truth..." Mingruo blinked.
Si Haochen could not refute it. His wife's logic was quite rigorous: "I will take you to patrol the mountains tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
Mingruo returned to the bedroom. The bed was covered with their own mats and gauze quilts. An ice basin was placed in the room and the windows were opened for ventilation.
A Yuan has already prepared the wash water and prepared the clothes: "Master, I just saw that the bathtubs here are not very good. I need to buy new ones. I'm afraid the carpenters' shops are closed."
"Don't prepare a bathtub today." Mingruo usually doesn't use the inn's bathtub, but his senior brother and the 'old man' still need to use it. "Tell your senior brother and Mr. Qing Wei to buy it tomorrow."
"Yes." A Yuan left the room, turned around and closed the door.
The group of people went to bed early after dinner and agreed to go to Xuwei Mountain together tomorrow.
Si Haochen felt that Qingchuan City was more suitable as a 'stronghold' than Yunling City. It was not only located in the middle of Zhongzhou, but also had both a seaport and a canal, with many people coming and going, and a lot of news.
Therefore, I only took the first, fifteenth, and Xunyi with me when I went to Xuwei Mountain. Except for those who stayed at the inn, everyone else dispersed to the city to find a suitable place to stay, ready for subsequent use.
In order to go faster, the carriage was pulled by two horses and did not rest at noon. Just after noon, a few people arrived at the foot of Xuwei Mountain.
Because the mountain is relatively high, there is still some snow on the top of the conical volcano. There is a parasitic volcano cone on the left and right. One of them is slightly smaller, with dust and smoke coming out, and it looks quite active...
"This... is really a volcano!" Because the shape of volcanoes is different from ordinary mountains, although Mr. Qing Wei has only seen it in books, it is easy to identify it.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded.
"It's all smoking, is it really going to catch fire?" Mr. Qing Wei felt both novel and a little worried.
"There shouldn't be an eruption in a short period of time." Mingruo had read news reports about Koala Country in his previous life. Before the volcano erupted, there would be volcanic ash covering the crater like a mushroom cloud.
"Go into the mountains and have a look." Si Haochen looked around and saw no small animals running around. If there was any danger, the animals in the mountains would be very manic.
Jun Che pointed in a direction, and the group headed towards the mountains.
As soon as I walked into the mountain pass, I saw nearby mountain people setting up a lot of tea stalls and food stalls. The business was actually quite good. It seemed that there were indeed a lot of people gathering in this mountain.
"Let's sit at the tea stall and see if we can hear any news." Mr. Qing Wei wanted to know why these people came.
"Hmm." He entered the city late last night and the secret guards did not collect any useful information. Si Haochen was not used to this kind of situation and was completely confused about the situation.
A few people sat down at a tea stall with many customers and ordered a pot of tea.
There were three tables of people sitting around. They didn't look like they were dressed in the same group, but they seemed to know each other. They also ordered steamed buns, sesame seed cakes and other food. It looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time.
"I don't know when the Chiyang Fruit will mature. I've been keeping it for more than twenty days, but I haven't seen any change..."
"The fifth elder said it's only for a day or two... The store will pack fifty sesame seed cakes to take away."
"Can taking Chiyang fruit really improve internal strength?"
"That's definitely possible. Otherwise, why would the elders come here in person?"
Mingruo carefully thought about the records in the "Pharmacopoeia": Chiyang tree grows in the land of red inflammation. The bark is green-grey, golden fan-shaped leaves, and the veins of the leaves are golden-red. The fruit is pear-shaped and crimson red, and has a rich fragrance when mature.
The Zhengyang fruit blooms in a period of time, bears fruit in a period of time, and matures in a period of time. The fruit has the miraculous effects of refreshing the mind, replenishing vitality, and stimulating vitality. When the fruit is mature, the whole branches and leaves are good materials for alchemy and medicine.
As an expert in alchemy, Mr. Qing Wei naturally knows about the Chiyang Fruit. Thinking of the growth environment of the Chiyang Tree, the smoking mountain peak is probably where the Chiyang Fruit is located.
"Let's go." Jun Che sat down and played with the hexagram stone again.
"Okay." Mr. Qing Wei's eyes were bright. Even if he couldn't 'grab' the Chiyang Fruit, it would be a good idea to get some branches and leaves back.
His Royal Highness Prince Yun did not know the efficacy of Chiyang Fruit, so he humbly asked his wife for advice: "Does Chiyang Fruit have the effect of improving internal strength?"
"The Pharmacopoeia does not say whether it can improve internal strength, but after taking it, it is indeed of great benefit to the body and can improve physical fitness."
"That suits Ruo'er very well." Si Haochen's lips curved into a mischievous smile.
"..." When thinking about running a marathon, her husband often complains about her poor physical strength. Mingruo grinds her teeth, "Chiyang fruit is for weak people to replenish their bodies. I don't need it..."
That is a tonic holy medicine, not a good way to prescribe cheats for you to "overindulge"!
"Hmm." Si Haochen originally wasn't interested in Chi Yang Guo, but when he thought about it, he had to get it for his wife.
There is a kind of 'need', which is when your husband thinks you need it. His Royal Highness Prince Yun happily decided to put all the Chiyang Fruit in his bag.
