Chapter 10: Nine-Hole Jade Lotus
After Gongliang finished taking the soil, the group continued to walk forward.
After a while, a grass hut appeared in front of it, it seemed that because of the long years, it was attacked by the wind and rain, the thatch on the grass hut had rotted, and the wood that built the grass hut was also rotten, but it was still trembling and standing upright.
Fortunately, there was no strong wind in the valley, otherwise the grass would have collapsed long ago.
Wu Liang and the others were overjoyed when they saw the grass house, and walked forward quickly.
When I got to the cottage, I walked in and looked at it, but I frowned again.
They originally thought that there should be the cultivation exercises and cultivation notes kept by Yun Zhongjun in the grass house, but they just looked at the bookshelves in the house, although there were also bamboo slips and silk books, but they were all classics visible to the outside world, and they were useless at all.
So they searched the house.
Finally, a pile of bronze utensils for eating and living such as ding, wok, retort, mustache, gui, vessel, case, figurine, chopstick, zun, yi, 卣, tired, reel, jue and so on were found. In addition, there are some palace lamps, incense burners, and braziers, which are estimated to be brought in by the descendants of Yunzhongjun from outside the valley.
Each of these things is engraved with flowers, plants, birds and beasts on the edge, some have inscriptions, and some are also gilded and inlaid with jade, which is exquisitely made and very beautiful.
It's just that these are purely useless things for Wu Liang and others, and no one likes them.
When Gongliang saw that they didn't want it, he put it away.
These things have not rusted at all in the grass house for so long, just like a new work, it must be a conscience product, put it away and wash it, and put it out for use in the future, it can also improve the style and make people feel tall.
Anyway, we are also people with standards.
"It shouldn't be!" Wu Liang said, looking at the grass house.
"It really shouldn't. Xi Yu nodded approvingly.
Gongyan and Fu Mengzi looked at everything in the room and thought thoughtfully.
Not only them, Gongliang also sensed the strangeness in the grass house, it stands to reason that Yun Zhongjun's grass house should not be just some ordinary items, but now it is exactly like this.
Xin Yuefeng walked around the grass with a giant sword in his hand, knocking and tapping in various places as he walked.
Miya and Yuan Rolling were curious to follow his figure, wanting to see what he was doing.
Xiao Xiangxiang timidly peeked out of her round and fluffy hair, glanced around, and quickly hid it again.
Xin Yuefeng walked and walked to the wooden wall in the hall and knocked it with his hand.
"Knock knock knock..."
The voice was a little wrong, Wu Liang listened to it and hurriedly walked over. When the others saw it, they followed suit.
Gong Yan stepped forward to take a look, and his eyes searched around. After a while, I saw a lantern crane inserted on the wooden pillar on the left. The crane was covered with dust, and he walked over to wipe it, and saw that the crane's body seemed to be constantly passive, and it was very smooth to rub. His heart suddenly became clear, grabbed the lantern crane, and pulled it down hard.
There was a sound of a machine.
The wooden walls of the hall slowly slid inside, revealing a narrow passage that was more than two meters high and more than a meter wide.
Wu Liang and the others glanced at each other, overjoyed, and hurriedly drilled inside.
Gongliang walked at the end with rice and round rolling, and everywhere he looked, the passage was surrounded by stalactite stones, and the top was inlaid with palm-sized night pearls, illuminating the cave brightly.
Needless to say, none of them looked at these night pearls, and walked inside.
It didn't take long for the passage to come to an end, and a wide space appeared in front of it.
Looking up, the dome is covered with vertical conical stalactite columns, below the left and right, there are two small lakes at a distance of tens of meters, the lake water is clear, but one side is cold and abnormal, the cold air is rising, the lake is covered with frost and snow, and the other side is extremely hot, the lake water is constantly boiling and tumbling, and even the ground by the lake is scorched black.
The crowd looked around.
Suddenly, Xi Yu saw a cluster of green lotus flowers growing in the icy lake, and he was surprised: "Nine Hole Jade Lotus!"
The nine-hole jasper lotus only grows in the snow mountain ice pool, which is extremely rare, and is a rare thing in the world, with the function of purifying the heart and purifying the soul, nourishing the soul, and is a rare elixir.
Gongliang was looking around, and when he heard his words, he quickly turned his head to look.
Xi Yu couldn't believe the facts he saw in front of him, so he hurriedly walked to the lake, stretched out his hand to take out a section of jasper lotus, broke it and took a look, the nine circular holes in the lotus root were evenly covered, and it was indeed a nine-hole jasper lotus.
Wu Liang looked at it and said with emotion: "I didn't expect there to be such treasures in the vault, no wonder Yun Zhongjun is superb in cultivation." With this thing in hand, I finally didn't come in vain this time. Brother Xi, it seems that your level is about to be broken. ”
"With the help of this thing, it won't take half a year. In just a few months, I will be able to climb to the top of the building, and this time I would like to thank Brother Wu Liang. If you hadn't brought me, there would have been no such good thing. ”
Xi Yu said with a smile.
"Brother Xi is polite. Wu Liang said modestly.
The nine-hole jasper lotus didn't know how long it had grown in the cave, and it actually multiplied.
At that moment, everyone worked together to take out the nine-hole jasper lotus, but they did not take all of it, leaving a small clump for it to continue to grow.
When Mi Gu was taking the nine-hole jasper lotus, he flapped his little wings and flew around on the surface of the lake.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed little guy saw a transparent fish sneaking out of the lake, and quickly sank into the water, and hurriedly flew to report to the baba: "Bababa, there are fish in the lake." ”
"Oh..."
Gongliang didn't expect that there were still fish living in such a cold lake, so he couldn't help but release his divine sense and probe into the lake.
The divine consciousness is weakened in the icy lake, and it cannot go too deep. Even so, it was enough for him to find the fish.
After a while, a fish shaped like a carp, with a body like jade, slightly transparent, and two palm-sized fish appeared in his consciousness.
Gongliang took out the spear and stabbed it into the lake, and when he put it away, a fish was already half-dead hanging on the spear.
"Gongliang, you are interested, and you are still stabbing fish at this time. Come on, it's time to divide things. Xin Yuefeng said excitedly.
Gongliang turned his head to look, and the jasper lotus, jasper lotus pod, and jasper lotus leaves taken out of the lake were almost divided. The group happily gathered together, waiting to divide things. And he walked over.
Wu Liang waited for him to come over, and said: "This time, I got a total of 180 jasper lotus seeds, and I waited for six people, 30 each." There are more jasper lotus, so I mix the size and size, and everyone has one portion. In addition, there are jasper lotus leaves, stems, lotus pods and other things, although the effect is very small, but it cannot be wasted, so they are all placed in the jasper lotus. Let's see, the amount is about the same, take it yourself!"
Gongliang glanced at it, casually accepted a copy and put it in the space, and asked the twin Shuangzhi brothers and sisters to plant the nine-hole jasper lotus in Xiaoling Lake to see if they could grow it.
After collecting it, he peeled and scaled the cold lake fish he caught, and put a piece of transparent jade fish meat into his mouth. After a little chewing, an unusually delicious and sweet taste came to his mouth, which was a different taste of fish he had eaten, and it was unforgettable.
"This fish is very delicious, please try it. Gongliang asked Wu Liang and the others.
"Really?" Xin Yuefeng said unconvinced.
"You try. "Gongliang slice a piece of fish and gave it to him.
Xin Yuefeng tasted it, his eyes lit up, and said, "It's really good." Hey, it seems to have other effects. ”
When the others heard his words, they also asked Gongliang for a piece of fish to eat.
Xi Yu closed his eyes and tasted it, and said: "This fish swallows the essence of lake water in the lake all year round, and also eats the nine-hole jasper lotus, so the meat has the medicinal power of the nine-hole jasper lotus." Although it has little effect, it is very mellow and can be consumed regularly. ”
The others nodded approvingly.
At that moment, everyone was catching fish by the lake.
The lake was too cold for them to dare to go down, so they could only ingest it with their divine sense. But the fish in the cold lake is not a nine-hole jasper lotus, but only grows in the shallow place of the lake and does not move, but swims around, very smart, and it is really difficult to catch.
It's just that after grabbing it for a while, Wu Liang and the others broke out in a cold sweat, obviously because their divine sense was overconsumed.
Gongliang stabbed a few fish to death with a spear, but the dead fish are not easy to preserve, and the taste deteriorates after a long time, and the effect will be lost.
In desperation, everyone had to give up this delicacy.
Gongliang took the opportunity to collect a few fish and raise them in Xiaoling Lake, and by the way, he took the little guy's gourd and collected some cold lake water.
The fish has adapted to the cold lake, and may not be able to survive in the Xiaoling Lake.
Therefore, after he used the gourd to take the cold lake water, he asked people to dig a pond by Xiaoling Lake, put the cold lake water into it, and then put the fish in it to raise, and asked the twin Shuangzhi brothers and sisters to move the nine-hole jasper lotus planted in Xiaoling Lake.
