Chapter 125: The Journey of Tea Hunting (I)

Is there anything wrong with liking tea? At least before this day, Xu Chen never thought that drinking tea well was a mistake.

As long as it is a person, there will be such a hobby, some people are lustful, some people are good at gambling, some people like to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, some people are good at traveling thousands of miles, and see the scenery of the world.

Some people's hobbies are only for leisure and entertainment, cultivating sentiments, and some people are scattered for their hobbies, not doing their jobs, and even destroying the country and exterminating the species, cholera in the world, the king of Chu has a thin waist, the palace people are starving to death, and the princes of the beacon fire opera and the king of Youyou have lost their crown......

Xu Chen never felt that his hobby would bring much disaster to the world, and now he doesn't have that appeal. Collecting some famous tea, no matter how you look at it, should be a good thing, not only to enrich the tea culture of the Chinese nation, but also to improve the material living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also to create a whole industrial chain, to feed a large number of tea sellers, but also for the Tang Dynasty court to add a lot of tax revenue.

No matter how you look at it, it should be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!

Oh yes!

Don't do your job!

This is probably where God is not used to Xu Chen, and it is also said that it is obviously a critical juncture for the two armies to fight, Xu Chen, as the chief general of the first army, not only did he stay in the camp to study the military strategy and arrange the troops in front of the battle, but he left the camp alone and ran to the deep mountains and old forests hundreds of miles away to find what tea trees, isn't this called not doing his job?

Not long ago, he just said that he wanted to be a good official, but he left his post without permission for a few days! Do you want to count the things you have said? Is there still trust between man and heaven? There is a god three feet above his head, and no matter how big the god is, it is under God's control, and God who feels that he has been deceived will naturally punish and punish the boy who does not keep his word.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Xu Chen felt that it should not be such a reason, he had indeed left the camp, but he had finally brought out the leader of the enemy army together, and the two soldiers and horses without a leader naturally couldn't fight this battle! Since he was no longer fighting, he could be regarded as engaging in hobbies in his spare time, how could this be regarded as not doing his job properly and leaving his post without permission? We have taken risks with ourselves to contain the leader of the enemy army! Even if you are God, you can't be unreasonable, right?

Later, Xu Chen felt that perhaps God saw the danger of those tea pickers turning over the top of the mountain in order to find a few rare tea trees, so he decided to let Xu Chen, the initiator, also try the hardships in the scene.

This reason is more reasonable.

Born in a new society, a good young man who grew up under the red flag, has not been completely corrupted by the feudal and decadent class, and Xu Chen, who drove the toiling people to do such a dangerous thing for his temporary appetite, even if he paid enough money, still felt guilty, so in the end, Xu Chen accepted such a reason......

"Two adults, there is the Nine Dragons Cave in front!" One left and one right, the two guides turned back at the same time to report to Xu Chen and Yang Xun who were riding on the horse.

The two guides were from Xu Chen and Yang Xun's camps, and they both knew which side they were on, but they also didn't know that the partners who were walking with them were actually from the hostile camp. Naturally, it was even more impossible for them to understand why the boss of their side and the enemy leader were like old friends for many years, walking in the mountains and forests for more than four days.

Besides, even if they knew, they wouldn't necessarily care. They are just mountain people in the mountains, and the general trend of the world has little to do with them, and they are far less gratifying than the gold ingots of yellow, orange and orange.

"It's finally here!" Xu Chen stretched his sore waist immediately, even though he had been walking the mountain road in the mountains and forests for more than half a month, his riding skills were far from being comparable to the original Xu Chen still felt that this short journey of more than four days was simply tormenting.

Obviously, there was only a distance of less than 100 miles on the map, and I walked around in the ravine for more than four days. The path that Yang Xun said is really small enough, between the two cliffs seems to be a mountain road that has been split out with an axe, the narrowest part of the mountain road is only a few inches wide, people must pedal the cliffs on both sides to barely squeeze over, as for the horses, they need to be carried by two soldiers from the front and one behind the cliff to cross over from the slightly wider place above the cliff.

Originally, such a mountain road was not suitable for horses, but Xu Chen stubbornly did not abandon the horse. Xu Chen, who is very self-aware, feels that he must not be able to complete this tortuous mountain road with his feet, so horsepower naturally needs to be used. Xu Chen also doesn't like to be carried forward, especially the young people around him, who are all his own brothers, not slaves driven by others. As for being carried behind his back...... One is very imageless, and the other is very costly for the brothers.

Therefore, Xu Chen preferred to leave the horses behind, although these horses were carried by the teenagers many times along the way, and it was not easier than carrying him forward. But in Xu Chen's view, carrying a horse is at most an act of mutual assistance between brothers, but it does not involve personal violations, and everyone is an equal existence.

Xu Chen's strange thinking was difficult to understand, the two guides felt sad for these teenagers to have such a tossing master, and even Yang Xun, a person who thought he knew something about Xu Chen, was greatly confused, and complained more than once about the horses that delayed the trip.

However, this complaint disappeared after climbing a few undulating hills. At this moment, Yang Xun, like Xu Chen, was lying on the back of a horse like a dead dog.

"Walking in the mountains is a university question, not good kung fu is enough!"

Yang Xun turned his head around with difficulty, staring at the smug guy on horseback viciously, eager to rush up and beat him, so as to vent his anger.

It's just that Yang Xun is tired when he straightens up at this moment, how can he have the kung fu to care about that annoying guy?

The foundation of the Yang family is in Wuyi Mountain, which is true. But the high-level members of the Yang family naturally can't live in the deep mountains and old forests like savages. A group of savages can't rebel, and the deep mountains and old forests can't teach the Yang family's children to practice the favor and old accidents.

Yang Xun grew up in the prosperous world outside the mountains since he was a child, and in addition to teaching major events, he has not returned to the Wuyi Mountain General Altar several times over the years, so he naturally has no habit of walking the mountain road.

"By the way, I'm here to pick tea, why are you coming along?" Looking at Yang Xun who was tired of lying down, Xu Chen asked.

"Who knows if you're picking tea or if you want to take a detour to attack Hulu Valley, won't I come along and take a look?"

Yang Xun's explanation is very unconvincing, detour attack, is there only a dozen people?

Xu Chen decided not to care about him, and when he arrived at the place, Xu Chen remembered the unparalleled tea tree in his heart, and his tired body seemed to have reappeared with energy, how could he have the leisure to guess Yang Xun's thoughts.

"How do you go down?"

Walk to the edge of the cliff, only to see a deep and long canyon appear in front of you, the cliffs on both sides of the canyon are continuous, undulating, nine vertical and horizontal ravines, shaped like a dragon, so it is called the Nine Dragons. There is a small peak with a slightly circular top between the dragons, which is called the dragon ball, so it is also called the dragon pearl.

Xu Chen and his entourage came from the north, the terrain is slightly higher, but at this moment it is located at the top of the northern section of the canyon, looking down, the canyon is full of clouds and mist, the grass and trees are forested, and occasionally there is the sound of apes and tigers roaring, so it is not amazing!

Xu Chen had never been to Jiulongyao in his previous life, but he vaguely remembered that the entrance to Jiulongyao Scenic Area was located in a relatively gentle place in the south. And at this moment, everyone is standing on the top of the cliff in the north, how should this go down? Do you still have to find a way to the south to find the entrance after thousands of years? Not to mention that the mountains here are high and dense, the peaks and peaks are steep, and you may not be able to find the way to the south, even if you are lucky enough to find it, there may not be an entrance to the canyon in the south of Jiulong Cave. Thousands of years have been enough to turn the sea into mulberry fields, an unknown entrance, and it is very likely that it was artificially excavated by later generations, so where should Xu Chen go thousands of years ago?

"Didn't you say that after passing through Kowloon Cave, it was Lingnan Road?

Xu Chen pulled the two guides and asked with a gloomy face.

"This ......" The honest mountain people couldn't stand the majesty that Xu Chen was gradually developing, so they lowered their heads.

Yang Xun on the side saw it, and said angrily: "What I said at the beginning is that after the Kowloon Cave, there is Lingnan Road in front of me." The "pass" here is the "pass" of "passing", not the "passing" of "passing" from the Kowloon Cave......"

Seeing Xu Chen deflated is always a good thing for Yang Xun.

"Damn bite the words!"

Chinese characters are the foundation of Chinese civilization. The broad and profound Chinese culture is all embodied in Chinese characters, small square words, I don't know how much magic there is, each word is a story, a classic, can be written into a book on its own. The old scholars may not be able to tell a word about the rise and fall and replacement of thousands of years in their lifetimes.

Since he couldn't understand clearly, Xu Chen couldn't get angry with others. Now that the day is in the middle of the day, it is the hottest time of the day, although it is late autumn, if it is in the north, the mountains must be dense with red leaves, but this is in the south of the Wuyi Mountain but can not see a few discolored leaves, the autumn tiger is still raging, walking for most of the day, already tired and sweating.

Let people find a shady place, as usual in a radius of a few zhang of the special insect meal, deep in the mountains and old forests, carelessly, I don't know how to die!

After eating dry food and resting, everyone recovered and set off on the road again, but there was no road ahead, and the horses could not move forward.

Xu Chen was inert again, and he didn't want to give up these few horses, so he wanted to find a place to tie things up at random. But I remembered the sound of the tiger roar I heard just now, and now in these years, the ecological environment is not like the future generations, tigers, apes and these beasts are not scarce, and now they are in the heart of Wuyi Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, and it is not surprising that there are several fierce beasts.

I had to leave five teenagers to guard, and the well-equipped and experienced teenagers lined up in formation, and with crossbows, bows, and gunpowder, it would not be a problem to take out a tiger.

According to the principle that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, it is estimated that the teenagers will be able to meet one tiger at most, even if they are unlucky, and meet a family of a few people who come out for a walk, and each horse has a cloth belt full of hands and thunder hanging on the horse's back, and put it together, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to raze a mountain to the ground, let alone scare away a few fierce beasts.
