Chapter 242: One Hundred Thousand Mountains (13)
The petals on the surface of the water move with the waves, and a round of bright gibbous moon falls into it, and it also sways slightly with the water waves, reflecting the delicate and moving petals around it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Almost in the blink of an eye, four moons appeared in front of me.
April with the same light!
In just an instant, the cave is a glorious masterpiece!
From top to bottom, the four rounds of bright moon, a place with colorful petals, sparkling water, and fragrant fragrance at the end of the nose, this scene is so beautiful and magical that people almost want to suffocate!
Shen Nishang looked amazed.
"Do you like Nishang?" Mu Qing's peach blossom eyes were as gentle as water, and his voice was even softer.
Shen Nishang didn't retract her gaze, she was still immersed in this ghostly beauty, and only hummed her head slightly.
The beautiful scenery is rare, after the tea effort, the moonlight above the head disappears, and the three bright moons in the cave also disappear.
Darkness returned to the cave.
Shen Nishang sighed regretfully.
"It's still Nishang's luck. Mu Qing smiled, "Kurdan said that such a scene is rare to encounter, and there are not many times in a year. Doron had brought him here a dozen times, and he had only seen him once. I came here two days ago, but I didn't see it. ”
"Is my luck good?" Shen Nishang asked.
Mu Qing smiled, looked at Shen Nishang and nodded, her eyes were burning and bright, and her voice was soft: "God will bless Nishang with a happy life." ”
Shen Nishang was slightly stunned at the touch, and she didn't know how to speak for a while, and after a moment, she lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "Mu Qing...... Thank you. ”
Mu Qing stared at Shen Nisheng, suddenly smiled lightly, and still said softly: "Go back." ”
Shen Ni's chin bowed.
The two then turned back together.
Shen Nishang lay on Mu Qing's back, her mood was complicated and a little heavy, and after a while, she lowered her eyes silently.
Mu Qing suddenly let out a low "huh".
Shen Nishang raised her eyes when she heard the sound, and two familiar figures hurriedly passed by in the distance.
The two figures are a little familiar, one seems to be Duolun, and the other is very graceful in black, it should be a tall woman.
Two figures hurried into a room.
Shen Nishang remembered that it seemed to be the residence of the Great Elder.
"White Phoenix?" asked Shen Nishang in a low voice.
Mu Qing nodded and replied in a low voice, "I think so." ”
Shen Nishang's thoughtful chin was really not unexpected by her.
The two quickly returned to their accommodations.
Mu Qing walked to the door of the high priest's room and listened, then turned his head and shook his head at Shen Nisheng.
The high priest was not in the house.
"Sleep. Shen Nishang smiled slightly.
###
The next day the four got up, and the high priest sat upright in the hall, and when he saw them come out, he pointed to the breakfast on the log table and let them eat it.
Shen Nishang doesn't like to eat meat in the morning, so she only uses some bean porridge.
When the four men had finished eating, the high priest got up and motioned for them to come with him.
went all the way to the south, and arrived outside the forest where Shen Nishang and the others were stopped.
The high priest did not stop, and the companion beast people who guarded the forest saluted with their chests in their chests, and watched the group enter.
After walking for a while, the high priest stopped, and the four of them also paused, and Shen Nishang raised his eyes to look around, and sure enough, it was a huge agarwood forest.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of agarwood trees scattered among them.
"Our people have spent decades transplanting these agarwood trees into the valley. Of course, the number we brought into the valley was much more than that, some did not survive, and some later died. The high priest looked at Shen Nishang, his eyes were deep, "Since the previous generation of priests, our clansmen have been looking for ways to raise incense, but decades have passed, and we have not obtained anything except the dead agarwood tree. Miss Yang, are you really willing to hand over the method of raising incense to our companion beast clan?
"This method of artificial incense cultivation was conceived by the priest of the previous generation?" Shen Nishang asked without answering.
The high priest paused, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Nishang deeply, his gaze was very deep: "No, it's not what my clan thinks, but the previous priest knew that there was a clan in my border clan who was good at this way, so he wanted to find this method." ”
Mu Qing and the three of them glanced at each other.
The high priest took the three of them into their eyes, and their gaze was a little deeper.
Shen Nishang also saw the change in the high priest's eyes, and said bluntly after smiling: "Xiang clan?"
The high priest bowed slowly.
"I guess so. Shen Nishang smiled faintly, "But my method is not related to the Xiang Clan, and I don't know how the Xiang Clan raises incense." The four of us have indeed heard some deeds of the Xiang clan by chance, and the high priest can rest assured that the four of us have no ill will towards the Xiang clan or the companion beast clan, or any of the border clans. As for the deal that I talked about yesterday with the High Priest, it was not really a deal. We have no intention of the Companion Orcs, but if we say so, the High Priest will not be able to believe it. It just so happens that we do need agarwood as a raw material to open a store, and it is also inconvenient for the high priest to trade with others. ”
"Licheng can be at the junction of the Great Limao Kingdom, and it is far away from here, don't you bother?" asked the high priest.
"It's not close. If we do business with others, we will also find it troublesome. Shen Nishang smiled slightly, "But now that we have such a relationship with the high priest's clan, we naturally can't treat them equally." Besides, the time and place here are all available, once the incense is successful, the incense can be produced in half a year at the earliest, which is not without benefits to us. In addition to agarwood, we also need other spices, some of which are also produced in this mountain. If the high priest is willing to believe in us, it is also a matter of mutual benefit. ”
"Do you have any other conditions?" the High Priest asked again after a long silence.
Shen Nishang turned around and asked Mu Qing Lingfei, "Do you have any other conditions?"
Mu Qing shook his head.
Ling Fei also waved his hand lazily.
Shen Nishang looked back with a smile, her eyes were a little sincere: "I don't dare to say anything about others, but I still know about our companions." They all did what they said, and the high priest didn't have to worry about it. Over the past three hundred years, your people have grown a lot, but even if you survive in this valley, life will become more and more difficult. Our help may not be able to completely solve the survival situation of the companion beasts, but at least it will improve. The High Priest can exchange agarwood and other spices with us for the necessities you need, and as long as you can do it, we will not refuse. ”
After that, Shen Nishang stopped speaking and handed over the choice to the high priest.
The high priest looked at Shen Nishang fixedly, and after a while, "I will send ten clansmen to learn from you." ”
The High Priest beckoned outward, and a moment later, the Patriarch with the black feather pattern on his cheeks walked in with ten young companion beast men and women.
Duolun's new wife, Maya, was among them, and she pursed her lips and smiled at Shen Nishang.
Shen Nishang smiled back.
The patriarch led ten people to salute the high priest.
"Study hard. The High Priest spoke.
Ten young men bowed down.
The high priest looked at Shen Nisheng.
Shen Nishang saw what the high priest meant, and replied: "The method is not difficult, the key is understanding, if you master the know-how, you can learn it within three days." ”
The high priest nodded solemnly, did not speak, and turned to leave.
Shen Nishang beckoned ten young people to an agarwood tree and took out the tools he was carrying: "If you want to artificially raise incense, you first need to know the principle of incense from the agarwood tree......
The group gathered in a circle and listened attentively.
The patriarch did not leave, and watched quietly from a few steps away.
Mu Qing and the three of them stood under a tree at the entrance of the forest, looking at Shen Nishang while explaining and demonstrating to the companion beast clansmen.
Mu Qing asked Ling Fei in a low voice, "You won't tell your uncle, will you?"
"Do you think I'm a man of my word?" Ling Fei glanced at him.
Mu Qing sighed: "Actually, they are really pitiful. Did you know? Kurdan said that his grandmother had never been out of the valley in her life. The same goes for the other women of the Beast Clan, and even some of the men never left the valley until they died of old age. ”
Having lived in this valley all his life and into old age, a life that in some ways almost amounts to imprisonment, not to mention the extreme scarcity of supplies.
Mu Qing's words were not without pity.
Ling Fei was silent for a moment: "I didn't say no. ”
Mu Qingrong smiled heartily and patted Ling Fei's shoulder: "I know." ”
"Don't think too well. Ling Fei didn't give him a good look, and lowered his voice, "If they really went out and knew the situation outside, they wouldn't be so friendly to us." ”
Mu Qing smiled: "Others are others, we are us." ”
Ling Fei raised his eyebrows and was silent.
These ten people were also carefully selected, Shen Nishang originally said three days, but after two and a half days, almost all of them mastered the essentials.
During these two days, after class every day, Maya and another companion beast man went to the high priest's room and dictated the knowledge and techniques imparted by Shen Nishang that day to the high priest, who recorded them.
The door of the high priest's room was not closed, so Shen Nishang and the four of them could see it.
The four of them entered Shen Ni's room, and Ling Fei closed the door and said, "It's the ninth today." ”
Since the day of Duolun's wedding, Shen Nishang has been teaching skills for the past three days, and they have never gone out of the valley to find Nan.
At the mention of this, Mu Qing couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
They set out from the royal capital on June 15, and now more than 20 days have passed.
There are also more than a dozen pieces of fragrant nan found, green nan, yellow nan, purple nan, and even a piece of white nannan of excellent quality, but there is no black nan.
In the previous life, the Empress Dowager died in late August, and it was only about forty days ago, and when he thought of this, Mu Qing couldn't help but feel anxious.
But he could only suppress this anxiety, and didn't want others, especially Shen Nishang, to find out.
Mu Qing was very clear in his heart.
Whether it is Ling Fei, Shen Nishang, or even Kong Xiang, they have all made great efforts to find medicine.
They were all helping him.
Mu Qing smiled reluctantly: "There is still time, don't worry." ”
Shen Nishang glanced at Mu Qing and lowered her eyes: "Why don't we ask the high priest?"
Mu Qing looked up in confusion.
"They've lived in the mountains for hundreds of years, and maybe they know something. Shen Nishang said.
"The patriarch's black eagle is not a small area of surveillance. Ling Fei's eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice for a few minutes, "Didn't you say that you saw that Bai Da Master two days ago?
Mu Qingruo felt something: "You mean, it's the news that the Companion Beast Clan passed on with the Bai Da Boss, so the Bai Da Boss only knows where we are?"
"Need to say this?" Ling Fei raised his eyebrows, "Over the years, the Companion Beast Clan must have also found a lot of Xiang Nan, and the Companion Beast Clan is reluctant to go out of the mountain, so there must be a liaison among them." The two families must have been in contact for a long time, and the skill of the big white master has improved so quickly, I am afraid that Xiang Nan, who is found by the companion beast clan, is not unrelated. Nishang, do you think I'm right?"
Shen Nishang naturally saw it a long time ago.
"Wait. Shen Nishang muttered, "Now that our promise has been fulfilled, it depends on how they do it." ”
While speaking, Maya's voice came from outside the door: "Master Yang, the high priest is invited." ”
In the past few days, those four people have been very respectful of Shen Nishang, and when they learned that Shen Nishang's surname was Yang, they all called him "Master Yang".
The four of them looked at each other, got up and opened the door.
The high priest was waiting in the hall, and when he saw the four of them, he smiled kindly: "I have a friend who wants to meet a few guests, but I wonder if the guests would like to see them?"
Shen Ni's eyes moved, and his chin bowed: "High Priest, please lead the way." ”
The group headed east.
As we got closer, the houses became less and less, and at the end of the day, a large house appeared in front of me, and in the open space in front of the house stood nine huge pillars, on which were carved with intricate patterns and inscriptions.
At the top of each pillar was a snow-white giant beast skull, which was slaughtering and imposing.
"This is the place of sacrifice for our people. The High Priest pointed to a swarthy cave in the distance, "That is where our people worship the beast gods. Earlier, I didn't let the guests here, because I was afraid that the guests would have different beliefs and conflicts with my people, and I hope that the guests would not think too much. ”
"One side of the water, one side of the people, we understand. Shen Nishang nodded, "The high priest doesn't have to mind. ”
In any case, the High Priest's move was a release of goodwill and a degree of trust.
The four of them are also the key to this situation.
The high priest bowed his head and led the four of them towards the big house.
As soon as they entered the house, the four of them took a short pause.
There were already eight or nine people in the house, and in addition to a few elders and patriarchs, a white phoenix dressed in black was also present.
Seeing that the four of them stopped, the white phoenix raised one eyebrow and smiled inexplicably: "Everyone, let's meet again." ”
Shen Nishang nodded: "Bai Da is in charge." ”
The high priest went to the head of the hall and made a gesture to the four of them, and they took their seats.
"It didn't seem strange for the four to see me. The smile on the white phoenix's bright face was a little meaningful, looking at the high priest, the white phoenix's tone was very easy-going and familiar, "I said that people are smart people, but I'm afraid that we have already guessed that we know each other." ”
"Isn't that good. Shen Nishang smiled, "The three of us are not strangers, and we guessed that the Bai Da master is the contact, which is more beneficial to our future transactions, isn't it?"
"The same can be said-" The white phoenix paused for a moment, his eyes were a little sharper, and he shot directly at Shen Nishang and the four of them, "Business can be discussed and done, but shouldn't you also show your true colors to show more sincerity!"
Yueguang Qiqi said
Qiqi's words: ...... I'm laughing!
When I wrote it, Qigong still came to peek, and I pushed him away in shame: "What are you looking at?
He glanced at it quickly, and then dropped a sentence lightly: "Laughing so weirdly...... I thought you were writing chuang drama ......"
I grind my teeth in anger - when did I laugh weirdly when I sailed the boat!! do I know how to use words!!
Finally, good morning dear friends - by the way, rummage through your pockets, if there are still forgotten tickets thrown into the hole~~ The petal rain has fallen, and it is quite romantic to rain a little monthly pass!'(*n_n*)′'(*n_n*)′'(*n_n*)′
