Chapter 126: The Journey of Tea Hunting (Part II)

There is no road in the world, but when there are many people walking, it becomes a road.

Xu Chen had never doubted what the sages said, and even now he just felt that this sentence was a, but he did not stand on the opposite side of the sages.

Mountains and forests are not just a cold adjective, but a real problem in front of us. After getting away from the narrow but still crowded path, Xu Chen and his party really entered the pristine mountain forest.

Without human interference, the plants in nature can always grow wantonly, thick trees, clumps of weeds, grass or a few delicate wildflowers, hanging vines on the branches like thick snakes, but in unexpected places but really hide a wriggling python.

It's hard to prevent!

The best guide in the mountains and forests is also the best hunter, Xu Chen is glad to have found such an excellent guide this time.

Each plant is distinguished by them, which one is poisonous, which one can be eaten, and which one can be used to save lives after being poisoned by snakes, and the guides are all clear! Along the way, there are many careless poisoning people, but they did not let Xu Chen spend a precious pill, and the two guides can always find the right medicine in the fastest time, and the real medicine can be eliminated.

They found all the traps hidden in the mountains and forests one by one, and poisonous insects and wild beasts could not escape their keen observation. These are all useful skills, and they are also skills that even he doesn't know, so Xu Chen ordered the teenagers around him to write down all the things that the guides have said and done. Who can guarantee that they will not go into the jungle to fight in the future?

The team was advancing towards the southern part of the Nine Dragons Cave little by little, although Xu Chen was not sure that he could find the entrance. However, when you reach the middle of the Nine Dragons, it is not difficult to stand on the top of the cliff, look down, and determine whether there are those tea trees in the location in your memory.

Among the grass and trees in the jungle, after walking for a while, just past the "dragon's tail", I came to the position of about the "dragon's belly", and I saw a sudden change in the scenery in the valley. The valley is deep and empty, the streams on both sides are long, on the cliff, strange flowers and plants, fragrant and refreshing, Xu Chen on the top of the cliff, the pace can't help but slow down.

A brass cylinder was taken out by Xu Chen, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at the cliff not far away.

"What is it?" Yang Xun, who was curious, snatched the telescope from Xu Chen's hand.

Following Xu Chen's movements, Yang Xun also glanced into the distance.

"This ...... This ......"

Unsurprisingly, a sound of surprise sounded, and Xu Chen even saw Yang Xun's body trembling with excitement.

"It's mine!" Yang Xun, who had a bright brain, only understood the huge effect of this thing for a moment, so he did not hesitate to take it into his arms and take it for himself with peace of mind.

"Ahh

"Where?" Yang Xun, who had been following him for so long, was also very curious about the famous tea in Xu Chen's mouth.

"There!" Xu Chen didn't look back, his eyes stared at the opposite side, and he stretched out his hand to point.

Yang Xun leaned over and looked at Xu Chen's hand.

How did he know that the arms were light, and when Yang Xun reacted, he touched the already empty pocket in his arms with both hands, and then said angrily at Xu Chen: "Empty hands?"

Xu Chen put his hands behind his back, and said to him with a smile: "The small skill of carving insects is not enough to worry about!"

"Hmph! The dignified commander of the army is not ashamed to make these three indiscriminate moves?" Yang Xun crossed his hands on his hips and was angry.

"Ah, shame?" Xu Chen looked stunned and muttered in a low voice, "Is this what a man says when he swears?"

The black-faced young man behind Yang Xun saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yang Xun's clothes, Yang Xun immediately raised his hands, clenched his fists, and made a vicious appearance.

"No, you have to give it to me, or I'll grab it!"

Hearing this, the young man behind Xu Chen, Chai Qi, Hao Xin and others secretly moved their seats. These people don't have the "dirty" thoughts in Xu Chen's heart, and they don't know the unknown tacit understanding between Xu Chen and Yang Xun. For this Yang Xun, who had only met a few times, they were wary enough.

"Just a few of you?"

Yang Xun came out this time, hiding from the rebels in Hulu Valley, but fortunately, most of the troops in Hulu Valley are Yang Xun's father's old subordinates, and there is no problem with loyalty, and the commanders of each department are also experienced old men, so they can't deal with the situation without Yang Xun.

And that Zhang Kejiang was ordered to come in order to watch the soldiers and horses under Yang Xun's command, but not Yang Xun himself. Now he knows the situation of the rebel high-level in Quanzhou. The struggle for power and profit depends on the soldiers and horses in hand, and now in this season of "the beginning of the great cause", who will recognize those early years?

Zhang Kejiang wished that Yang Xun would leave his elite soldiers and horses and go to Quanzhou City alone! If that was the case, Yang Xun would be the best to end up in a captivity, and his four thousand elite dragons would have no leader, so he could only cheapen him as a deputy general.

Li Yi is smart, and when he asked Zhang Kejiang to bring a thousand men and horses, he may not have thought about this possibility.

It's just that Yang Xun is also not stupid, so how could he give him this opportunity? These days, Zhang Kejiang has also extinguished this delusion, he really didn't dare to think that Yang Xun would do such a thing as leaving the barracks without permission.

Since it is a secret operation, there are naturally not too many people who know, and Yang Xun only brought the black-faced young man and two other guards this time.

At this moment, after listening to Xu Chen's threatening words, most of the knives of the two guards behind him had been drawn, but the black-faced young man knew more about it, and stood indifferently.

"You ......"

Yang Xun found that he liked to be angry more and more in front of Xu Chen, especially in the past few days of getting along, he seemed to be angry more than in his previous life, but he liked this atmosphere a little.

Xu Chen has always felt a little inexplicable about Yang Xun's anger, and he can't figure it out, he really can't figure it out! In the end, he can only attribute it to his concern for his sister.

"Okay, okay, it's not that I can't give it to you, it's just that it's not the time yet!"

Xu Chen was coaxing Yang Xun with this kind of childish tone again, and after many experiments, Xu Chen found that this trick was extremely useful!

"When is that?"

"When your rebels are defeated and we are no longer enemies!"

"You ......" Yang Xun was angry from his heart, but for some reason after hearing this, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't even feel angry.

"Huh?"

Xu Chen saw that Yang Xun was no longer making trouble, so he turned around and continued to observe the opposite cliff, and gradually, he found that the flowers and plants on this cliff were like that...... Singularity!

That's right!

It is not surprising that some strange flowers and herbs appear in the belly of the mountain, and it is understandable that there are some flowers and plants that are difficult to see in the outside world in this handsome mountain forest.

It's just that Xu Chen is different from people of this era, from the era of the information explosion, Xu Chen's understanding of the world is undoubtedly much more comprehensive than anyone in this era.

It's not uncommon to see some flowers and plants in the mountains, but those flowers and plants on the other side are too unusual, right?

Have you ever seen a chrysanthemum that is nearly a foot in circumference? Have you ever seen a splendid plum blossom that blooms in autumn? If these are all normal, what about those creepers that are thicker than their thighs? That one that looks like a tree is a rose? What woman can hold such a big rose?

What's more, it is understandable that there are different species of flowers and plants growing in a valley at the same time, with different flowering periods, from all over the world, after all, there are different climates and soil environments in different terrains in the valley, and it is normal for biological diversity to be more obvious.

But on that small stone, which is no more than a foot in diameter, there are more than a dozen different flowers such as roses, peonies, peonies, and jasmine growing at the same time.

What is the tallest flower in the middle? Lotus flowers? Can lotus flowers grow on stones? What are you kidding? When did the gentleman in the flower become so domineering?

The more Xu Chen looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he almost forgot his original intention of coming here.

"Hey, look there, are those low bushes what you're looking for?"

Yang Xun's slightly impatient words rang in his ears, waking up Xu Chen, who was carefully looking at the flowers.

"Where?" Xu Chen asked anxiously.

Looking along the direction of Yang Xun's finger, on the cliff wall to the southwest of where Xu Chen stood, there were several shrubs swaying in the wind.

The shrub was low and thick, and the breeze in the valley did not allow it to sway with the wind, but it seemed to be naturally lively, and by the breeze, it stretched the green leaves on the branches, as if to greet guests from afar.

For drinking tea, Yang Xun can't talk about likes and dislikes, but he was born in a family and has a good and comprehensive education. Drinking tea, a habit that is more popular among the upper class, is naturally impossible for Yang Xun to without. On the contrary, for the identification of tea, Yang Xun also received special training when he was a child.

Although tea leaves are very different, tea trees share many of the same characteristics. When Xu Chen took the binoculars and looked wildly at the flowers and plants on the opposite cliff, Yang Xun was also looking for it nearby.

Coincidentally, after Yang Xun finished searching the cliff near his feet, he raised his head to look south, and saw at a glance that there were several low shrubs on the cliff wall in the southwest, which had some similarities with the tea trees he had seen before, so he called Xu Chen over.

"Yes, it's indeed a tea tree, as for whether it's a big red robe, I have to go and see for myself!"

After speaking, Xu Chen didn't care about watching the strange flower field on the opposite cliff anymore, so he turned around and pulled the guide to the southwest cliff.

That cliff was not too far from where Xu Chen had just stood, and he had overcome all the thorns and thorns all the way, and after half an hour, Xu Chen came to the top of those tea trees.

Looking at the tea trees that were at least dozens of zhang away from the top of the cliff, Xu Chen muttered to himself: "How should I go down?"
