Phoebe silkworms feed on Phoebe leaves, and the silk they spin out is called Phoebe silk.
Due to the special growth environment of nanmu, it can only grow well in places with sufficient sunlight and a dry and cold climate. Therefore, the output of nansi is not large and the price is extremely expensive. However, this kind of nansi fabric has the characteristics of being warm in winter and cool in summer, smooth and soft.
Even though the price is more expensive, it is still popular among dignitaries.
On the entire Sansheng Island, the largest nansi producing area is called "Zhiyun Villa", which accounts for almost one-third of the nansi business on Sansheng Island. In addition to Sansheng Island, Zhiyun cloth is even more distant.
There are dozens of other large and small human race gathering places, and the stalls are huge.
Every year from July to September, when nanmu silk is produced, countless craftsmen who rely on "Zhiyun Villa" to make a living will take the silk back, mix, peel, select, boil, and then go through complicated and delicate processes such as reeling and weaving.
After these steps, these nansi will be woven into rolls of colorful and light fabrics, and finally cut into various robes, handkerchiefs and other fabrics.
Nanxiu Xiaozhu is one of the hundreds of workshops responsible for the final step of embroidery. The owner is a family of three.
When they first came here, the couple was still in poverty. Not only did they not have any extra money, they didn't even have a place to live. The steward of Zhiyun Villa took pity on them and gave the family of three a place to stay. They never thought that this would happen.
Mrs. Rong has a pair of skillful hands, and the embroidery she weaves is exquisite, which is deeply loved by the noble ladies. With her exquisite embroidery skills, the family of three soon settled down and bought a house here, and lived a prosperous life.
Nanxiu Xiaozhu is backed by "Zhiyun Villa" and is located on the side of a rugged mountain road. There are few people and it is extremely secluded. The back mountain is overgrown with weeds and bushes, and the male owner has cleared out a large vegetable patch, where various kinds of vegetables are growing happily.
There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
Every afternoon, the family of three would happily gather in the courtyard to boil water and make tea, feeling calm and contented.
On this day, before the sun set, an unhurried knock on the door broke the long-lost tranquility.
"Who are you……"
In front of him is a middle-aged man in Taoist robes, with an ordinary appearance, and his charred face is like a deep old well, without any ripples.
While the other party was sizing up Kong Laosan, the latter was also sizing up the man in front of him silently. He was in his mid-twenties, handsome, wearing a nan silk gown, and there was a bookish breath between his brows.
Spiritual power, obviously, the person in front of me is just an ordinary mortal.
"Haha, you are Mr. Rong, right? I heard that Mrs. Rong's embroidery is exquisite. The old Taoist was so happy that he came here to buy one or two!"
Master Qingpao said calmly, giving people a vague feeling that he could not refuse.
"I see, the Taoist Master's information is very well-informed. Except for the steward of Zhiyun Villa, few guests can find this place!"
Mr. Rong said as he welcomed the Taoist in.
The small courtyard is not big, and is surrounded by a half-person-high fence. Several branches of extremely strong nanmu trees are spread out and connected, completely covering the entire small courtyard. Some ropes are connected to the branches, and embroidered flowers are hung on them.
Forests, trees, birds, animals, insects, fish, etc., and the fine sunset falling on the ground, add a bit of tranquility to the small courtyard.
"Rong'er, it's getting late
, the time for night reading is coming soon, you go to the husband’s place first, I will entertain the Taoist priest!"
At this moment, a slightly cold voice suddenly came from the house. As the voice fell, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and dressed like an ordinary farm man came out, wearing a bamboo hat.
He was holding a pole in his hand, as if he was planning to go out, but after seeing Kong Laosan, he took off his bamboo hat again, and his expression showed a hint of indifference.
Mr. Rong didn't notice anything unusual. Hearing what his father said, he chuckled and said, "I'm going out now!"
After the voice fell, he took the basic thread-bound booklet from the house and went straight to "Zhiyun Villa".
When Mr. Rong was completely gone, Kong Laosan turned his head, looked at the man in front of him, shook his head and said, "The ancestor of the golden elixir realm actually plans to return to the secular world and become a village man in the mountains.
Kong really admires this kind of heart!"
"Ha...what's wrong with returning to ordinary life? Since we had Qingzhen, our husband and wife escaped from the Three Saints Sect and came here to live in seclusion. It has been more than twenty years, but I didn't expect that you would still come to our door...
I just ask you to let Qingzhen go, that child was born without spiritual roots and is just an ordinary mortal!"
While he was talking, a pale woman wearing a light gauze came to the man's side from the house at some point, with a hint of deep worry in her eyes.
Hearing this, Kong Laosan just thought about it and roughly understood the cause and effect. A look of understanding flashed on his face, "Haha, I see, you two may have misunderstood. Kong is not a member of the Three Saints Sect. The reason why he came here
, just to get back two things!”
"Two things?"
Hearing what the Taoist said, the originally extremely guarded middle-aged man's expression became visibly relaxed. He looked at each other with Mrs. Rong beside him, and both could see the confusion in the other's eyes.
"What does fellow Taoist want to get back? If Rong remembers it well, this should be the first time he meets fellow Taoist, right?"
"Haha, thirty years ago, did the two couples have a chance encounter in their dreams and get two flying swords?"
Hearing what Kong Laosan said, the man suddenly realized. Just when he was about to say something, the woman beside him had her heart moved. A big red flying sword flew out of the Zi Mansion and landed steadily in front of the three people.
, seeing this, the man said nothing more, and a pink flying sword also landed in front of him.
Two flying swords, one pink and one red. At the same time, a strong and pure feeling of joy and admiration escaped from the sword. Seeing this, Kong Laosan's eyes lit up and he was not polite. When he opened his mouth, the two flying swords flew like swallows.
Like returning to its nest, it disappeared into the mouth without a trace.
"If it weren't for these two flying swords, we, as a couple, would not have been able to survive the war. It turned out to be the belongings of fellow Taoists. When I met them in my dream, I guessed that these mysterious flying swords should belong to their owners. Now,
This guess was indeed confirmed!”
The man shook his head, with a look of relief on his face.
"Kong also didn't expect that it would be so easy to find them. I thought there would be many troubles and even some disputes... Haha, it's just Kong's little mind.
Got it!"
As the green-robed Taoist spoke, he took out a few porcelain bottles and wooden boxes from his waist, and placed them gently on the stone table. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the man wave his hand, and a trace of recollection flashed across his face, "Back then, the Three Saints
The sect and the Holy Alliance were fighting endlessly. We, the couple, were sent to the front line. We never expected to be ambushed halfway. Almost all of the thirty or so fellow disciples who were traveling with us were killed or injured. With the magic of the two flying swords, we, the couple, succeeded.
I survived. Then I came here, planning to completely break away from the world of immortality and return to ordinary life."
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and could see the friendship in each other's eyes, "The tables, chairs, plants and trees here are all accumulated bit by bit by the two of us with our hands.
, I haven’t used any immortal methods. If my fellow Taoist hadn’t suddenly arrived, I’m afraid I would have forgotten my past. I’d better take these things back!”
The man spoke slowly, with a hint of tranquility and peace in his tone.
"My fellow Taoist has such an indifferent heart, which really makes Kong envious! The jade bottles and wooden boxes only contain some elixirs and old medicines that can strengthen the body, but they are very suitable for Mr. Ling. For the two of you, the old Taoist is probably not a good person.
My guest, now that the matter is over, Kong will go back. But..."
Kong Laosan said lightly, with a bit of sadness in his voice. Just as he turned away, he seemed to want to say something, but after spitting out two words, he waved his hand half-heartedly, and his body shook.
, turned into a blue rainbow and flew through the sky.
The world is like a furnace, and life is like grass. In this chaotic world, can a secular place really become a pure land on earth? Kong Laosan has strong doubts about this. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, it is not
Build fences and fences outside the wall, but have the strength that no one dares to provoke, and then the whole world will be a pure place!
A hundred years have brought great changes!
A hundred years ago, Demon Ancestor Kong Fei wreaked havoc on the world. The Chen family of Xiyun Kingdom, which had some relationship with Demon Ancestor Kong Fei, was destroyed by the Three Saints. More than three hundred people survived, and they were completely reduced to history.
The original "Kong's Grocery Store" has now taken off its plaque and been replaced by "Baicaotang", turning it into a small medical clinic and pharmacy.
The person in charge is a female doctor, her surname is said to be Chen, and her medical skills are pretty good. Neighbors who have headaches will come to this clinic for a consultation, pay a few medicines, grab a few medicines, and maintain her health.
On this day, a man with swollen muscles and a fierce look stepped into the store. He neither bought medicine nor saw a doctor. He just looked around, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
The man looked ferocious, and his unusual behavior frightened the thin medicine boy beside him so that he did not dare to step forward. After thinking about it, the medicine boy ran towards the back hall in a hurry. After a while, there were two steps, one quick and one slow.
The sound came to the front hall.
"Sir, do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine?"
A clear voice came from behind. Hearing this voice, the man's expression changed and he turned his head. When he saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, his pupils shrank slightly, revealing a strange and strange look, "What's your name?"
?”
After a while, the man spoke slowly, with a certain emotion in his tone.
