Chapter 100: The Hermit of the End

"Continue to ......"

Feng Tiance let the hound lead the way in front, and he followed behind. One man and one dog didn't know how far to go out, and only stopped again when the sky was slightly white.

He returned to the space with Wolf Seven again, and in less than ten minutes, he was back in the jungle. But this time, he didn't bring Wolf Seven out, and he was going to start going down the mountain to find a populated place.

Descending a mountain trough, there is a valley below. Looking at the direction roughly, Feng Tiance continued to march towards the low-lying area.

The mountains on both sides of the valley continued to decrease as he advanced, and when he reached the opening, he saw a large area of relatively flat land in front of him, but it was still surrounded by mountains.

"I'm walking into a bigger valley again?"

Feng Tiance realized that he might have walked into the depths of the mountains, which were probably getting farther and farther away from the populated town.

Touching out the mobile phone, there was no doubt that there was no signal, and he could only judge the direction by himself and continue to move forward.

"Sure enough, further along, the terrain is slowly rising again, and I am going to go around in the mountains. ”

Judging from Feng Tiance's experience, he walked into the depths of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and connected by mountains. If you are not familiar with the road, it will take a lot of effort to get out.

After walking for about an hour, some dirt finally came out on the gravel floor. The vegetation began to grow denser, and he estimated that he might encounter another dense forest.

"Hey, what do I see? There looks like smoke in the distance......"

Seeing that it is almost noon, if this is in the village, wouldn't every household have already started to make lunch? It is not unusual to see the smoke of cooking...... But in front of you is a deep mountain with no people, and when you see the smoke, it is like seeing a beacon that guides the way.

Feng Tiance didn't care about saving his physical strength, so he spread his legs and ran, so he quickly walked to the ground to confirm whether it was really inhabited.

The stone walls and red tiles, the smoke of the cooking, walking through a small forest, Feng Tiance really saw a big living person.

"This little brother, where are you from? This place has not been visited by outsiders for a long time. ”

Coming out of the house was a man whose age was hard to tell. The man was not very tall, but he was thin, and his white hair was tied up in a bun at the back of his head. But his face was ruddy, and there were hardly any wrinkles on his face, but his face did not look old at all.

"Well, uncle, I got lost in the mountains and came here unintentionally. I would like to ask, what should I do on the way out of the mountains?"

Feng Tiance hesitated, but still called out to uncle, and walked in front of the man.

"I'm already in the depths of the mountains, and it's not easy to get out. Someone is coming to bring me something today, so you might as well wait and go down the mountain with him." ”

The old man was wearing a coarse cloth coat, and he really looked a little bit like a fairy.

"Uncle, don't bother, you show me the way, I can get out by myself. ”

Feng Tiance didn't want to disturb others, the old man looked like a hermit practicing in the deep mountains, so he planned to ask the direction and find his way down the mountain by himself.

"No trouble, no trouble...... Drink some saliva in the first house, and eat here at noon. When the time comes, if no one comes, I will show you the way. ”

The old man smiled slightly, and very kindly invited Feng Tiance into the room to sit.

Feng Tiance was gracious, thanked the old man, and then went into the house and sat down to drink a bowl of water. The water, which is just ordinary mountain spring water, is a little sweet, but very thirst-quenching.

"Uncle, how many years have you lived here?"

Feng Tiance didn't want to ask about other people's cultivation, so he was afraid that there would be any taboos, so he casually chatted about family life.

"It's been ten, twenty years...... I live in the mountains, and I rarely have contact with the outside world, so time and name don't mean anything too specific to me, so I don't want to say it. Little brother, you sit by yourself for a while, the steamed buns are already steamed, and I can start the meal by stir-frying a vegetarian dish. ”

As he spoke, the old man went out of the house, and his kitchen was on the side of the house, in the open air.

Feng Tiance actually didn't want to eat here at first, there was a shortage of materials in the deep mountains, and the basic daily necessities had to be brought in from outside the mountains on people's backs, and anything was very expensive.

But the old man seems to have such a temperament, he looks very kind, but what he says is difficult for people to refuse.

"Well, people don't want to give their names, so if they don't say it, they won't say it. I look at what's in my backpack, and when I'm gone, I leave something behind. ”

At dawn, when he came out of the space and went down the mountain, he put on his backpack. The backpack contained two bottles of mineral water, a large packet of compressed biscuits, a few pieces of chocolate, a sun hat, a disposable raincoat, and two handfuls of agarwood incense.

These two incense sticks were kept in his backpack before, and they can be used to repel mosquitoes in the mountains and forests. This incense stick can be given to the old man when he leaves, and other things are not suitable.

After putting away his backpack, he turned his head to look around, and the furnishings in the house were simple. A small wooden table, a few wooden chairs, and a futon for meditation in the open space near the window.

There is a small compartment inside, which is supposed to be the old man's bedroom. There was no shrine or hanging on the walls, only a small incense burner on the windowsill, and the whole room was a little empty.

"Here, little brother, ...... dinner"

The old man came in quickly, and Feng Tiance got up and took the tray in his hand and set it on the table. A plate of white flour steamed buns, a plate of stir-fried greens, and a small plate of pickles.

"The conditions in the mountains are simple, don't dislike ...... little brother"

The old man said a kind word, and then lowered his head to eat, and Feng Tiance also grabbed a big steamed bun and ate it. Both of them ate quietly, and it can be seen that the old man is more particular about "eating and not speaking".

After eating, Feng Tiance helped clean up, and went to brush the dishes and chopsticks, and then took out the two handfuls of incense sticks from his backpack and put them on the small wooden table.

"Uncle, I have some incense sticks here, so I'll leave it to you. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and this fragrance can have the effect of repelling mosquitoes. ”

Feng Tiance thinks that cultivators should like incense, for example, his old Taoist grandfather likes to light an incense stick when he is meditating.

"Little brother, you have a heart! I'll take a look, ho, you're still an agarwood incense." ”

The old man did not immediately refuse, but picked up an incense stick, sniffed it close to his nose, and lit another one and inserted it into the incense burner on the windowsill.

"Well, the agarwood raw materials of this incense stick are not bad, but the craftsmanship of this production is a little worse. In fact, it is better not to use a pure single spice for incense, if the two spices are suitable, the effect can be greatly improved. ”

The old man is obviously a person who understands incense, and his attainments are still very deep, so Feng Tiance nodded again and again after saying a few words.

"Uncle, I learned to make this incense stick by myself, which makes you smile. ”

Feng Tiance smiled embarrassedly, he didn't hide it, and took the initiative to say that these incense sticks were his own craftsmanship.
