Chapter 224: One Hundred Thousand Mountains (4)
"Even if I can't marry her, I won't marry anyone else, and even my life can be given to her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mu Qingqing raised his head suddenly, but the light in his eyes was deeper than ever, "I like her, and you also like her." I can do nothing for her, but you can't. ”
Ling Fei was stunned.
Mu Qing didn't say much after speaking, and turned around and walked away.
Advancing directly, the speed became much faster, and a day later, the four of them finally entered the deepest part of the inner mountain.
The trees rise to the sky, the branches and leaves cover the clouds and the sun, the ground is covered with vegetation, and it is in the middle of summer, the grass and trees are extraordinarily lush, as far as the eye can see, a piece of green, and the temperature is also a lot lower.
The road was extremely difficult, Shen Nishang was afraid that Mu Qing would work too hard, and wanted Kong Xiang to replace her halfway, but Mu Qing refused to let her go.
The summer clothes were thin, and before he didn't carry Shen Ni's clothes, Mu Qing didn't think much about it, until the moment when the fragrant and soft curves were delicately approaching, and the moment the skin was close to each other, he was stunned at first, and then reacted, grinding his teeth and regretting it in his heart! Later, he secretly glared at Kong Xiang several times, making Kong Xiang look confused, and he didn't know what he was wrong with.
Shen Nishang touched the temperature on the trunk of the tree, bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it with his fingertips to sniff it for a moment, then straightened up with satisfaction: "It's here." ”
The soil humidity and temperature here are all suitable, if there is Qi Nan, it should be in this wave range.
"Right here?" Mu Qing shuttled around.
"Not here. Shen Nishang smiled, raised his hand and pointed in a few directions: "It is possible to have a range similar to the climate altitude here, but whether you can find it depends on luck." ”
"Auntie, what does altitude mean?" Mu Qing asked.
Since Shen Nishang set the rules, even Ling Fei has changed his title, although Ling Fei has tried to talk as little as possible and ask Shen Nishang less questions, but Mu Qing has been shouting smoothly in the past few days.
It's just that the tone is soft and mellow every time, which is a little inconsistent with his steady and solemn appearance in his twenties.
"It is the height of the sea to measure the height of the terrain. Shen Nishang said succinctly, "The height of the sea surface is set as the starting line, and the height of the ground and the mountain is the altitude. The higher the wave height of the mountain, the lower the temperature, and the other data will change, as well as the types of plants and trees that grow. ”
Kong Xiang, who was on guard on the periphery, glanced back.
"Let's take it along this line first. Shen Nishang pushed aside the grass and walked to the left, "Today, I will search this radius of five miles." ”
The three of them looked at each other, and then they followed.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Nishang suddenly paused, and the three of them stopped, Shen Nishang took a deep breath and turned around: "Go this way." ”
Mu Qing also sniffed carefully, there was a faint freshness of grass and trees in the air, and there seemed to be some faint fragrance mixed with it, which was no different from other places.
"Let's go. Ling Fei glanced at Mu Qing lazily and quickly followed.
Shen Nishang had already stopped in front of a shrub in front of him, Ling Fei looked at it and asked suspiciously, "There are no agarwood trees here?"
Shen Nishang squatted down and picked up the soil with his hands, several insects and ants quickly crawled out, scattered and fled, and then sniffed, Shen Nishang took out a small wooden shovel and dug down along the position where the insects and ants crawled out.
Mu Qing and Kong Xiang also surrounded him.
After a while, a distant and moving fragrance of flowers and plants poured into the noses of the three people, many times stronger than the original fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.
The three of them had all seen Qi Nan, and when they smelled this somewhat familiar fragrance, and they had not yet fully dug it out, in terms of the extent of this fragrance that was far and rich, it was three points better than the best Qi Nan fragrance they had ever seen.
Obviously, the quality of the fragrant nan hidden in the soil is extraordinary!
The three of them couldn't help but watch Shen Nisheng with some joy and nervousness.
Shen Nishang slowly cleaned up the soil around her, revealing the withered roots inside, most of the dark brown roots had rotted, mixed with the soil, except for the middle palm of the majority of the color white and yellow, covered with yellow-brown balsam serifs, the texture was soft and hard, a little soft and sticky.
"The honeydew at the end is condensed, the first fragrance is as far away as flowers and plants, the fragrance is sweet and cool, and the tail fragrance is with lotus rhyme...... It should be made of sugar. After Shen Nishang took it in his hand and distinguished it, he sighed regretfully, "The best Bai Nan, it's a pity." ”
Bai Nan's preciousness is second only to Black Nan, this piece of Bai Nan is not only not small, but also extremely high quality, but unfortunately it is still not the Black Nan they want the most.
Ling Fei took Bai Nan in his hand to look at it, and said, "It's already good, I've seen nothing so good before." This piece weighs at least one and a half stars, and it has no market price for 100,000 taels. ”
In the last few martial arts meetings, only this year, the royal family took out a piece of Bai Nan in a half-star, and Ling Fei had seen it before he brought it to Ling Yang, and the quality was more than two or three percent worse than this one, which was completely different.
Even in the Ling family's inner treasury private collection, there may not be such a level of Bai Nan.
Mu Qing took it and admired it and gave it to Kong Xiang to put away, it was only four days after entering the mountain that he had such a harvest, Mu Qing was extremely happy: "Don't worry, let's find it slowly." ”
But for the next day and a half, the four of them found nothing.
That day and night, the four of them sat around the fire, and Shen Nishang didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.
Mu Qing moved over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shen Nishang said thoughtfully: "Don't you think it's a little strange? In the past two days, we have only found an agarwood tree. ”
"What do you say?" Ling Fei didn't understand.
"Both agarwood and fragrant nan are made of agarwood wood, and when we first entered the inner enclosure earlier, agarwood trees were not uncommon. Shen Nishang said slowly, "Xiangnan is divided into knots, sugar knots, tiger skin knots, and orchid knots, except for the raw knots, the rest may be withered and buried in the ground, so it is difficult to find." It is normal for incense to be hard to find, but the climate here is very suitable for the growth of agarwood trees, and it stands to reason that there should be more agarwood trees here than on the periphery. ”
The three of them thought about it, and it was really like this.
They walked all the way from the outside, and they did find a lot of agarwood trees on the road earlier, although they did not bear incense and did not have Nan, but there were a lot of them. On the contrary, since yesterday morning, after finding the piece of white nan, it seems that all the good luck has been used up, not only has no trace of Qi Nan or agarwood been found, but after a day and a half, I really only found an agarwood tree.
Shen Nishang seemed to be extremely familiar with the habits of the agarwood tree, and since she was so sure, this situation was obviously a bit unreasonable.
However, the three of them didn't know anything about it, and for a while, apart from being strange, they couldn't say any guesses.
"So what now?" Ling Fei asked
"Don't worry about it yet, let's see. Shen Nishang looked at the three people.
Kong Xiang got up suddenly, looked in one direction, looked vigilantly and whispered: "Someone is coming." ”
When I got closer, I could hear that the person had deliberately put his steps down, and from the sound of footsteps, there should be more than one person.
Mu Qing Lingfei and Shen Nishang both stood up.
There were three people who came, a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, the man was wearing an ochre satin robe and a crotch robe, and the dark red ochre was slightly refracted in the firelight.
Behind him were two men in their thirties, one with a saber, tall and thin, somewhat similar to the square-faced man in the lead, and a man in a white robe, in his early thirties, with a peaceful appearance and no eyes, and a gesture of Sven, which provoked Shen Nishang and several people to look at him twice.
This person's walking posture doesn't seem to be like kung fu, and he should also be a Nan Hunter.
Those who can enter the depths of these 100,000 mountains are not necessarily not Xunnan masters who know martial arts, but those who can't do martial arts must be Xunnan masters.
And he must still be a Nan Seeker who knows this well.
The three of them also knew how to be polite, and stopped more than ten steps away from the fire, and the square-faced man at the head smiled and arched his hand towards a few people: "Excuse me." We were originally going to camp next to us, but when we saw that you had a campfire lit here, and we met you when we went out, we came over and borrowed land from you, I wonder if you would mind?"
The square-faced man's gaze wandered around, and finally landed on Shen Nishang's face.
Shen Nishang bowed slightly, and made a gesture: "When you go out, it is convenient for you to be with others and yourself." I don't mind, please be seated. ”
Kong Xiang stepped aside and added some wood to the fire, making the fire more intense, and then retreated to stand under the tree behind Shen Nisheng.
Shen Nishang and the three of them also moved back a little to vacate their positions.
The square-faced man sat down, and the man with the saber sat down separately with the white-clothed Xunnan Master.
"Contemptible surname Zhou, this is the contemptible little brother, you can call Zhou Da on Tuesday," the square-faced man said that Zhou laughed and introduced his two brothers, and then pointed to the white-clothed Nan Finder, "This is Mr. Wang, the Nan Finder of the Dian Shop." ”
Shen Nishang also smiled: "My surname is Yang, and this is my two nephews, Yang Zhi and Yang Yong - that is Master Kong who escorted our aunt and nephew here this time." ”
"Miss Yang is a Nan Finder?" said Mr. Wang.
Shen Nishang nodded: "The craftsmanship is superficial, not worth mentioning." ”
Mr. Wang smiled softly and stopped talking.
Zhou Da rubbed his hands towards the fire: "I didn't expect it to be really cold at night, and I can't keep exercising to drive away the cold, it's much more convenient to have a fire." You can drink alcohol, and the contemptible people have prepared little things next to them, but they have brought some good wine. ”
On Tuesday, he opened his bag and took out a few wine bags, Zhou Da took it and took a big sip of it, with a very comfortable look, and then handed it over: "You also try it?"
The other party took a sip of the first sip and signaled, Mu Qing and Zhou Da glanced at each other, reached out to take it and poured a big sip into his mouth, and savored it carefully: "Good wine!" But it seems to be the taste of the south, which is softer and milder than the taste of our hometown. ”
Mu Qing didn't give it to Ling Fei with the wine bag, and only talked to Zhou Da Pan.
"You are from the north," Zhou Da laughed, "It looks a little like Cangguo, but the people of Cangguo are rough and don't look as detailed as you, you should be from Dali or Dongdu." ”
"Brother Zhou has good eyesight. Mu Qing smiled and nodded, "We are the people of Dali City." The guest ordered the mountain goods, and did not receive the goods for half a year, so he could only come out to find them. Brother Zhou is a native of Maoguo, right?"
"Even though it's local, it's far away, we come from the northeast, and you don't have to be much closer, this road is really bearable. Zhou Da nodded and sighed again: "Everyone is similar, if you have to do it, who wants to suffer like this." We didn't take the guest's order, but we offended the powerful people, and they forced them to want the best Xiangnan, and they had to be above the grade of Zinan-Zinan and other treasures were hard to find, where is it easy to get? If I only need agarwood or lower-grade Xiangnan, I can find some of my wealth, but I want such treasures...... Alas, the lives of the whole family are in the hands of others, and there is no way, so they can only come out and sell their lives to gamble. ”
Zhou Dalian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Mu Qing's internal force operated for a week without noticing any abnormality, and then he handed the wine bag to Ling Fei.
Ling Fei took a sip and asked Shen Nishang if he wanted to drink to ward off the cold, Shen Nishang shook his head, and Ling Fei threw the wine bag to Kong Xiang.
"How many days have you arrived?" Mu Qing asked Zhou Da.
Zhou Dadao: "It's been five days since I entered the mountain, but this inner mountain only came in today." How many days have you arrived?"
"Today is the second day. Mu Qing replied.
That Mr. Wang suddenly looked at Shen Nishang and asked, "Miss Yang, has you noticed that something is wrong?"
Shen Nishang was stunned, and soon came to her senses: "Mr. Wang also found out?"
"The agarwood trees here must have been dug up. Hearing Shen Nisheng's rhetorical question, he was obviously aware of it, and Mr. Wang's tone became much gentler.
Shen Nishang was stunned, frowning slightly, she really didn't notice this: "Scooped up?"
"You should come from the same direction as us," Zhou Da said, "The three of us did see a tree pit on the way here today, and it took some days to see the traces, but it shouldn't be more than half a year." Mr. Wang has seen it, and the broken roots left in it are indeed owned by the agarwood tree. ”
Digging agarwood trees?
Seeing that the expressions of the three of them did not seem to be lying, Shen Nishang couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
There is only one widow's village in this inner mountain, could it be the tree dug by these people?
But it doesn't make sense.
It is not of much use for the agarwood tree not to produce incense, and it is useless to transplant the agarwood tree unless the people of the widow's village know the technology of artificially making agarwood.
But she has collected and read all the books about Xiangyi Xiangnan that she can collect for most of the past six months, and she has not mentioned the words and techniques of artificial agarwood.
Obviously, there should be no such skill in this world.
They have been in this deepest part for two days, except for the three people of Zhou Da who they just met, there is no trace of people, and there is no trace of anyone living and walking.
Could it be that there are really ghosts?
"What does Mr. Wang think?" Shen Nishang looked at Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang was about to speak but coughed suddenly, he turned his head slightly to avoid it, blocked his mouth with his fist, and the cough was a little muffled, sounding like a deep cough.
Tuesday hurriedly opened the water bladder and handed it over, Shen Nishang shouted to Tuesday: "Don't drink cold water, we have hot water here, drink hot water." ”
Mu Qing handed over the hot water, thanked him on Tuesday, and gave it to Mr. Wang to drink.
After drinking two sips of hot water, Mr. Wang seemed to have eased up, and raised his head to thank Shen Nishang.
"You're welcome. Shen Nishang shook her head lightly and only looked at Mr. Wang, "Mr. Wang's internal organs seem to have old wounds?"
Yueguang Qiqi said
Qiqi's words: Thank you for your tips and monthly passes, although there are many things, but Qiqi will try to ensure that the update is made, and the added more owed will not be forgotten first~ There is really no way now, I'm afraid I won't be free next month, so this half month in addition to this month's update will also save the next month's draft~~ The house that the swallow has made in the mud is about to not belong to him, and he is leaving, and he is a little unspeakable......
ps:Thank you for the Lang Yuan Xian Bao who will write and tease the relatives ...... the first Lang Yuan Xian Bao of "Soul Marriage", congratulations to the Lang Yuan Xian Bao who has come to the pen to tease the relatives and become the third leader of the alliance in "Soul Marriage"! It stands to reason that the League Owner Day should be more changed, but Qiqi does not want to be perfunctory for the number of words, since he writes it, he must be responsible for himself and the reader, so he can only postpone it for the time being, and the sub-version of Agu will record all the additions to Qiqi, and wait for Qiqi to free up his hands and make up ~~
