Chapter Ninety-Six: Zhongnan Mountain
After queuing for twenty minutes, Feng Tiance bought a package ticket, and he followed the crowd into the forest park. Other tourists went straight to various scenic spots, but Feng Tiance walked slowly, observing various plants on the mountain along the way.
"The plant resources on Zhongnan Mountain are really rich, and many of them are not found on Daqing Mountain. It's just that it doesn't seem to be easy to collect at this time. ”
Along the way, he saw several kinds of oak tree species alone, including cork oak, acute tooth oak, Liaodong oak and so on. Others such as fir, larch, birch...... There are also a lot of them. And these trees are the tree species that he is currently missing.
It's just that now he can only watch and drool, and he can't collect the branches of these trees. There are too many tourists, and he is walking on the normal travel route, so he can only wait and see.
All the way to Cuihua Peak, Feng Tiance was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him.
It is a typical flora intersection with clear boundaries of forest belts, with low plants and meadows on the southern slope and rhododendron forests on the northern slope. The most peculiar is the black pine on the mountain, the branches on the south side are abrupt, the branches on the north side are luxuriant, and the takin and antelope can be faintly seen in the forest.
"This is the treasure trove of plants......
I used to see in books that Zhongnanshan was known as the "Asian Botanical Garden", but I didn't have a specific concept in my mind. Standing here at this time, all kinds of plant belts are clearly layered, layer by layer, layer by layer, it is really amazing.
Finally unable to resist the temptation, Feng Tiance broke away from the group of tourists very stealthily and began to walk towards the remote path among the trees. He summed up that it might be tricky to collect tree branches in a forest park, but it should be fine to collect some plant seeds.
"Well, this is the seed of the Bashan fir, this is the seed of the red birch...... Here is a small piece of fresh twigs dropped by the pine, and here there are twigs of the rhododendron......"
He took out a large bag from his backpack and began his journey of "scavenging", and before he knew it, he was slowly walking into the inaccessible dense forest.
"Hey, fellow, what are you doing? This is a nature reserve, how did you get here?"
Being inaccessible does not mean that there is absolutely no one, Feng Tiance walked and met a group of people. There were three men in all, and one of them was older, estimated to be between fifty or sixty years old. The remaining two are also in their thirties.
The old man who asked the question looked like local villagers, while the other two people were carrying simple luggage, and they looked like city people.
"I just walked around and looked around, and it ended up here. Uncle, isn't it safe for tourists to enter? I didn't see a warning sign that tourists stopped......
Feng Tiance deliberately pretended to be confused, anyway, what he had in his bag were seeds and very short branches, and he didn't deliberately destroy the plants, so he wasn't afraid.
"I said that you baby is not honest at all? You think I can't see that you are talking nonsense, hurry up and follow me!"
The old man blew his beard and glared, without giving Feng Tiance any room to speak, and was about to take people away.
Feng Tiance was so angry in his heart at this moment! You said that you are an old man, if you don't reveal your identity and don't make it clear what regulations we have violated, you will directly take me away?
"Huh? You baby, why don't you move the place? I can tell you, without me to show the way, you can't find it even if you go around in the mountains for a few days! Have you seen the two of them? You have been walking in the mountains for a few days, and you haven't found the way, so you don't have to rely on the old man and me? You hurry up and follow, I don't want much, I don't want much, I will only ask for 100 yuan per person, and I will be allowed to lead you to the land. ”
The old man spoke very impulsively, and his Qin accent was not very easy to understand, so Feng Tiance even guessed that he could roughly understand what he was saying. But the question is, since he is not a law enforcement person, where is he going to take these people?
"Little brother, do you also want to go to Zhongnan Mountain to seek the Tao and cultivate the Tao? Alas, this Zhongnan Mountain is also too big, and we only know a name, so we came here in a daze. In fact, the cultivation place of Zhongnan Mountain is not in the scenic area, and if there is no one to lead the way, you really can't find it. ”
One of the two out-of-town men finally saw that something was wrong, and the old and the young seemed to be saying something that was not in the same way, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"I'll just say yes, it turned out to be two forks....... Uncle, I'm really not a person who goes to find a place to cultivate. Forget it, you guys go, leave me alone. You two are also interesting, don't you say that the cultivators are all in Dayu? Why are you here to go to the scenic spot?"
Speaking of the cultivation of Zhongnan Mountain, Feng Tiance really knew. A relative of one of his college classmates, he entered the Zhongnan Mountain monasticism, and spent all day in the mountains with nature, and it is said that there is great happiness after the heart is calm, so the big factory is gone, and it is all left to his wife to take care of.
Of course, this path of cultivation refers to the practice of people in the mountains in order to get rid of the hardships of the red dust. Its meaning is more of a spiritual thing, rather than "seeking immortals". The most famous place of cultivation in modern society is none other than Zhongnan Mountain, and there are many hermits in Zhongnan.
"Haha, you're still a familiar person. Then leave you alone, let's go. ”
Only then did the old man know that he had made a mistake, and people were really familiar with the doorway. He hurriedly took people away, he was afraid that if he delayed any longer, the two hundred yuan he had already received would be gone.
Looking at the backs of the three of them in the distance, Feng Tiance also felt a little emotional.
Today's society is fast-paced and stressful, and even many successful people are unhappy in their hearts. Which is more important, material enjoyment or spiritual pleasure? I am afraid that this varies from person to person. As for himself, he would not envy those who went into the mountains to visit the Tao and cultivate, nor would he laugh at these people, but he actually respected them quite a bit.
Without the disturbance of irrelevant people, Feng Tiance was able to collect plants quickly, and in the heart of a dense thicket, he had already packed and sorted out five large bags.
"Go on, go back and collect all the things you have collected here. ”
Feng Tiance obviously used this secret location as a temporary warehouse of his own. It is true that this area is the intersection of plants, but the progressive distribution of layers means that he has to run a lot of roads. If you don't have a storage point, you can't exhaust people to death?
Thanks to the bags in his backpack, they were just as inadequate.
"Do you want to put this in the space now?"
Feng Tiance originally planned to wait until it was dark to carry out the carrying work, he was really afraid of being seen, didn't he meet three people before? But now, the types of plants he collected greatly exceeded his estimate, not to mention the bags, the central clearing of this shrub was almost occupied.
It was just after noon, and it was not yet two o'clock, and it was still early before dark.
"It's very unsafe to move back and forth, maybe someone will see something when they pass by. Otherwise, I'd better rest first. ”
