Chapter 300 Qingtong Forest in the North of Yuezhou
"Look at my little mountain god!"
"I saw it..."
"Isn't it great?"
"sharp……"
"I still have big wolves! More than a dozen of them!"
"I saw it."
"Isn't it great?"
"sharp……"
"Do you know any magic?"
"There will be some."
"show me!"
"Puff puff..."
“So many swallows!!”
"This is the unique skill of our Anqing Yanzi clan. I have just learned it, so it is not very advanced. My ancestor is very powerful. He can transform into countless swallows." Yanzi's voice came out, "When the Anqing natural disaster happened, my ancestor
Using this trick, each swallow only picked up a small amount of rice from the official warehouse, and the entire official warehouse was emptied in one go, and all the people of Anqing were saved."
"Are the swallows that were conjured real?"
"No...can't eat it!"
"Well……"
Song You could imagine the scene behind him without turning around.
Then he continued to cook his own meal.
There is no one in the deserted mountain, and a fire is lit.
The firewood was found by Empress Sanhua, and she lit the fire. The swallow found the water, and it was he who fetched it.
Song You only needs to cook the rice.
So much so that there is always a feeling——
I found two little demons to serve me.
However, these two little demons are extremely worry-free. Most of the time, Sanhua Empress can not only find food by herself, but also improve the food for him. The swallows do not need his feeding at all. They usually fly left and right in the sky and look extremely flexible.
Even though they are hunting and eating, now that winter has come, there are far fewer insects, but the swallows have become sperm, so there is no need to worry about starving.
It's more like serving myself.
"..."
Song You ignored the movement behind him and only focused on the small pot in front of him.
The white mushrooms sent by the third hall master of Huangshashan are indeed top-grade. After soaking in water, even without adding other meat, it is still a good pot of soup.
After cooking, serve it in a small bowl.
"call……"
In this cold winter in the north, in the deserted wilderness, taking a sip of hot mushroom soup, it warms the heart from the throat to the chest, and it is so delicious that Song You can't help but show an expression of enjoyment.
After leaving Huangsha Mountain, the population quickly became sparse.
They are so rare that if you go dozens of miles, you won’t see a few houses.
And as you get further away from Huangsha Mountain and go eastward from northwest Yuezhou, the number of people is getting smaller and smaller.
This kind of scarcity is not like deserts, snowy areas and grasslands, where no one has been there. On the contrary, you can often see houses on the roadside, and you can even pass by villages and cities. However, most of the houses on the roadside have been abandoned and collapsed.
The village was also empty, with grass growing inside and outside the houses. Taoists walked through with cats and horses, and no sound of people could be heard.
The official road is covered with grass and the tea stalls are dilapidated.
When you enter the city, if you are lucky there will be a few people there, but if you are not lucky, it will be like an empty city.
There is a kind of loneliness that is different from the desert snow and grassland.
When people retreat from this land, nature quickly comes back.
There was no one to ask for directions, and there were no stalls to rest. If I wanted to eat hot and decent meals, I had to do it myself. Supplies became difficult, and finding a restaurant to rest and listen to a book became a fantasy.
Fortunately, there were cats who often brought him prey, which saved some dry food consumption, and swallows flew to the sky to explore the way and find streams for him, which could replace asking for directions to a certain extent and prevent the Taoist from taking wrong detours.
Thanks to them, Taoists can walk on this barren land.
We went up the mountain along the almost invisible path, and after a lot of difficulties, we found the five-color pond mentioned by Mr. Qiao on the high mountain. I don’t know how this five-color pond was formed, but I only know that it is more than just five colors. The whole staircase-like pond presents a small
There are small pieces, each piece has a different color, light blue and dark blue, light green and dark green, light yellow and dark yellow, snow white like milk, colorful and diverse.
And since it was located inside the mountains, Song You was puzzled as to how the original people found it, how it became famous, and how long it took.
It’s puzzling and regretful at the same time——
If you don't come up to this high mountain thousands of feet above the ground, and don't come to this deep mountain a hundred miles away from the official road, you will never see this colorful pool. Now Yuezhou is empty, although there are a few poems, a few articles and a few
People who fled Yuezhou still remembered the existence of this Wucai Pond, but it was so difficult to find. It would probably take a lot of time for someone to find it after the imperial court sent people from other places to fill it in Yuezhou.
Many things in ancient times were probably lost in this way.
Once it is born, it cannot be found.
Even if you can find it, you may find more than one, and you don't know which one the ancients were looking at.
It is now light snow season.
Song You sat here cross-legged for two days, wrapped in a blanket, taking in the scenery, feeling the charm of the mountains and rivers, letting the cold outside get thicker, the mountain wind biting, and letting the two little demons play around.
After descending the mountain, we walked several hundred miles.
Yanzi found Yuelong Waterfall for him again.
Although it is not far from the official road, if no one tells you or asks for directions, you will never find it.
The stepped waterfalls are one after another. They are not very high or very big. They are not as majestic as other waterfalls, but they have a rare beauty, like a landscape painting.
I heard that it was originally in Yuezhou. The Yuelong Waterfall was the most popular scenery among literati besides Tianzhu Mountain. In addition, it was not far from Guandao and the Yuezhou government office. There was an endless stream of people coming every year. I don’t know how many poems were written there.
The articles are all written here. Now only Song You can enjoy it.
After boiling fish in water and sitting for a few days, it snowed heavily.
It also snowed here. When I woke up in the morning, ice had formed on the river bank. The Taoist was sitting alone in the snow, like an old man.
This place has a strong aura and is appropriate to the season, which is good for spiritual practice.
Shake off the snow and walk north again.
It was quiet in winter, and it seemed like the only people left on the whole earth were the Taoist walking on the road, the bay-red horse, and the calico cat following at his feet.
The scenery in Yuezhou is actually very good.
But there is more than just scenery in my eyes.
You can often see uncollected corpses on the roadside, which were left more than ten years ago. For many people in Yuezhou, the war was not much different from the end of the world. Taoists would stop most of the time.
Clean up for these people you have never met, at least put them in the ground, so as not to expose their corpses in the wilderness. This will make walking extra slow.
Sometimes when walking through barren mountains at night, phosphorus fire lights the way.
Sometimes when he sleeps on the roadside at night, a ghost comes to talk to him.
Sometimes, out of curiosity, an ignorant little demon would change into a human form and talk to him, thinking that he couldn't understand.
Slowly walked to the north of Yuezhou.
There are many mountains and rivers here, and the spiritual energy is rich.
However, because it is too remote, there is a miasma lingering in the mountains, which not only makes people get lost, but also makes people sick. People from Saibei dare not go here when they go south. Therefore, although there have always been legends about the Phoenix, few people can cross it.
The heavy mountain came to the green tung forest - it was like the fairy mountain at the top of the clouds. People without great perseverance would not be able to reach the top of the mountain.
So the swallow became extremely busy.
Every morning when I wake up, I fly into the sky and look for the direction of the green tung forest in the distance.
Have to be extra careful.
In this place, the natural ability of swallows to identify directions seems to be somewhat ineffective. The ground is filled with miasma. If you fly low, you can't see far, and if you fly high, you can't see the ground clearly. It's really a dilemma. I accidentally flew to a place where the miasma is particularly thick.
, after taking a few puffs, even his Tao Xing felt a little dizzy.
Every day I worry about flying out and not coming back.
When I fly back every day, I have to search for my husband for a long time in the mist-like miasma. Even if the horse walks in the mountains and the bells on its neck ring, the bells echo in the mountains and it is difficult to tell which mountain it comes from.
passed over.
For several days.
As he walked, Song You somehow felt bored and a little sad, and he couldn't help but frown.
One day the swallow flew back and said that he had found the green tung forest in the north. In the mountains filled with miasma, it was so tall that it shot straight out of the clouds, like a place in ancient mythology.
But he only remembered a general direction, and when he looked for it the next day, he couldn't find it again.
It's like looking for an island in the ocean.
Yan Zi is more anxious than Song You.
It was not until dusk on the day before the winter solstice that the Taoist finally came to this green tung forest under the leadership of Yan Zi.
The Taoist, leaning on his bamboo stick, stopped and looked into the distance, his expression couldn't help but be startled.
The mountains are filled with miasma and the clouds are deep. The green tung trees slowly appearing in front are all upright. I don’t know how many years they have grown. The smallest tree within sight cannot be hugged by ten people. At least half of it has no branches at the bottom.
There are no leaves, just a huge, bare, straight trunk, dark blue in color.
As for the branches and leaves, of course they are there.
I think it's at the top.
Because the light under the trees is obviously darker.
But the branches and leaves are not visible.
Because it has already penetrated the depths of the clouds and mist.
Truly towering ancient trees have become a forest and spread all over the front, giving people the feeling that this is the end of the world and that if they go further, they will enter the world of ancient mythology.
"Sir! Here we are!"
Yanzi sounded very happy.
"yes……"
Song You stared blankly.
What I thought about at the moment was Mr. Qiao, who loves landscapes and paintings.
I have the help of swallows, and I am not afraid of miasma. It is already difficult to get here. How did Mr. Qiao and the countless mortals who came here get here?
"So big and tall..."
The cat also raised its head high.
Song You's expression was similar to hers.
It was said that there were trees here that could not be hugged by dozens of people, and that the branches growing on these trees could be walked away from. Song You didn't know whether he believed it at first, but now he definitely believed it.
"How high is it..."
"I don't know how high it is. I just know that the tallest one is probably not much lower than the Wucaichi mountain we visited."
"A few hundred feet..."
Such a forest that should not exist in the world, Song You must have believed it if a phoenix came to live in it.
But even if the phoenix comes to live, it is above the clouds, far away from the mortal world, and it is invisible under the clouds and mist, right?
"Meow?"
The cat turned to look at him.
"Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and it's getting dark today, so we won't go in. We'll just stay outside here for the night." Song You was a little tired, and took another look at the mythical giant tree in the clouds. He felt that even this line of work
Even if we can’t see the legendary bird, it’s totally worth it.
