Chapter Ninety-Five: Walking Alone in the Mountains

Mulberry leaves are not unusual, but at this time it is autumn and winter, in addition to the evergreen pines and cypresses, the trees in the mountains have already fallen their leaves, and mulberry trees are no exception. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info want to find the green mulberry leaves at this time, so you can only go to the warm south.

The previous person was a light purple mountain cultivator, who could travel thousands of miles a day, and also had the ability to carry mulberry leaves from the south, but silkworm cocoons were not rare, and they were sold everywhere, and they traveled thousands of miles to find and carry back mulberry leaves, probably not for silkworm raising.

However, mulberry leaves are bitter and astringent, and other animals do not like to eat it, and furthermore, if you feed other animals, there is no need to pick mulberry leaves.

If it is replaced with other leaves, Nanfeng will not think much about it, he is so interested in mulberry leaves because he once took the dragon tooth silkworm, which was found for him by the Apocalypse, according to the Apocalypse said that the dragon tooth silkworm has long been extinct, and the bottle of medicinal powder ground by the dragon tooth silkworm was obtained from the Western Wei Palace, which is the only bottle left in the world. That day, he had asked about the usefulness of the dragon tooth silkworm, but the apocalypse did not tell him.

The man who had just passed had already ascended to the mountain, and ordinary things were not worth his hard work.

This person is carrying mulberry leaves, which is naturally used to raise silkworms, but silkworms are mostly raised in spring and summer, and it is autumn and winter at this time, whether it is a silkworm or a wild silkworm can not survive, and those who can survive in such cold weather must be a strange species.

All kinds of signs reminded Nanfeng of the bottle of dragon tooth silkworm he had taken, although Tian Qizi once said that the dragon tooth silkworm was extinct, but Tian Qizi also said that the dragon tooth silkworm was extinct eighty years ago, not far from the present, and it is unknown how few survived.

Since the dragon tooth silkworm is extremely rare, no one knows its origin, and no one knows what the use of this thing is, if the person carries the mulberry leaf to feed the dragon tooth silkworm, he can take the opportunity to ask the truth, and relieve the doubts in his heart.

Thinking of this, the south wind tilted his head to look east, and at this time, the light purple aura was still rapidly advancing eastward, and disappeared into the dense forest of the mountains after a few ups and downs.

Nanfeng was still hesitating whether to continue to the east or turn back, but this time he did not hesitate, threw away the mulberry leaves in his hand, and marched eastward.

After walking a few steps, the south wind stopped again, to the east is the endless Taiyi Mountain, his cultivation is not high, it will be very dangerous to walk alone in the deep mountains, and the possibility of meeting the person carrying the mulberry leaves on his back is not very large, and it is difficult to say whether the other party is feeding the dragon tooth silkworm, for an uncertain thing to risk himself, is it worth it?

Standing for a while, Nanfeng turned around and walked back, but he didn't go far, but returned to the same place to pick up all the mulberry leaves that fell to the ground, and looked carefully, these mulberry leaves were thick and tender, obviously selected, and the petioles were cut off from the tail, which shows that the other party was picking one by one when picking, rather than grabbing a lot.

This discovery made Nanfeng confirm his previous guess, the other party fed the dragon-toothed silkworm, even if it was not the dragon-toothed silkworm, it must be some kind of strange silkworm.

Let's go east, in case you run into it, you will have a chance to ask for clarification.

Having made up his mind, Nanfeng no longer hesitated, and there was no obvious path to the east, only a suspicious path, so he strode along the path. Entering the mountains is naturally dangerous, but walking on the road is equally dangerous, and it is not safe anywhere without self-protection.

Thinking of the dragon tooth silkworm, Nanfeng thought of Tianqizi again, except for the master Tianyuanzi, Tianqizi is the best person for him, but at this time Tianqizi has no news, life and death are uncertain, that day Tianmingzi and others had placed a medicine bottle in the Tianqizi room, so as to mislead him, making him think that Tianqizi had returned, which means that the disappearance of Tianqizi is related to Tianmingzi and others, thinking about it carefully, Tianqizi has two encounters, one is killed by them, and the other is that he was imprisoned by them, no matter what the case is, he must return to Taiqingzong, if Tianqizi is still alive, he has to save him, if Tianqizi has been killed by them, he has to avenge him。 The Son of the Apocalypse is kind to him, and he cannot accept the kindness of others in vain.

Because I had never lived in a store before, I didn't bring dry food when I entered the mountain, but fortunately, there were many cassava yams and dried fruits in the mountains, and I didn't worry about eating.

At this time, in addition to the Liang State in the south, the people of the two Wei States were very poor, hungry, and the situation of green and yellow shortage occurred from time to time, war was the bane, and the war had to be drawn as soldiers, and the land was uncultivated, so there was naturally less food.

In this case, few people move their families to avoid disasters in the mountains and forests, for three reasons: First, the government strictly investigates homeless people. The second is that many mountains and forests are royal hunting grounds, not to mention seclusion in them, even if they cut down trees and hunt, they will be punished. There is a third reason, there are many tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves in the wilderness and mountains, and many poisonous insects, rats and ants kill people, which is the main reason why the people dare not avoid the mountains and forests.

There are many products here, which means that no one comes on weekdays, and the more abundant the products in the mountains, the greater the possibility of wild beasts and poisonous insects hibernating.

In addition to the property, there is also a way to indirectly determine whether there are predators and poisonous insects nearby, that is, to look at the number of small animals such as earth rats and hares and the reaction after being alarmed. If you are frightened and blow up immediately, then you have to cheer up.

After the observation, the south wind was in high spirits.

After entering the deep mountains, the mountain road covered with weeds also disappeared completely, and the south wind could only swing the knife to open the way, before he had been carrying a sword, and he felt that the knife was more practical in comparison, although the sword was cut on both sides, it was not easy to use force, and it was not as simple as the knife.

At the same time, Nanfeng is also thinking about the future, in case he meets someone, the other party will ask him why he entered the mountain, there must be a reasonable reason, and only by telling the truth can he explain why he entered the mountain alone, only saying that he offended Yuqingzong and was driven down the mountain, and he avoided the mountain for fear of being chased and killed, and only in this way can he explain that he has the cultivation of the cave god.

Thinking about the details, Nanfeng began to recite the scriptures, reciting the true scriptures of the cave gods, and reciting them very loudly, this move had two intentions, one was to let the beasts in the forest know his arrival, and avoid it as soon as possible, lest he wait for him to approach, and suddenly jump out to scare him. In addition, if the person who had been in the air was nearby, chanting the sutra aloud could also show his openness, so as not to mislead the other party into thinking that he had ulterior motives.

At noon, I met a group of wolves, one big and one small with a few cubs, from ten zhang away to confront Nanfeng for a while, the male wolf led his family to leave, they are not stupid, they know to assess the strength of the opponent, although Nanfeng is not very tall, but he is already an adult, the most important thing is that he is holding a bright knife in his hand.

In the afternoon, the south wind found a snake molt from the side of the stream, the snake molt is very complete, look at the snake molt to know that the snake has the thickness of a bucket, when there are more than a dozen steps long, but at this time it is about to snow, the weather is cold, the snake python has been dormant, which provides a lot of convenience for him to hurry, if it is a summer rush, not only there are snake pythons, but also mosquitoes.

Seeing that the sun was about to go down, the south wind began to think about how to spend the night, and he could hide from the beasts from the trees, but it was too cold to sleep in the trees, so it was more comfortable to live on the ground and light a bonfire.

After walking a short distance, Nanfeng found a few wild walnuts, the fruits were ripe and fell to the ground.

It's a good thing, it's rarely seen outside, and even if it does, it's very expensive, and it takes two copper coins to buy one.

The south wind stopped, cut down the branches and built a shack from under the tree, but it was very simple to build a shack with arrows, some branches were piled on both sides, and a few thick sticks were set on top of it, and then covered with branches. Such a shack is not durable, it is ventilated on all sides, and it does not shelter from the rain, but it is always possible to make do with it all night, and it is better than being beaten by the frost.

Lighting a bonfire, Nanfeng sat next to the bonfire and peeled the walnut, which was wrapped in a thick skin and had to be peeled off.

As he was peeling, he suddenly heard a humming sound from the south, and when he looked up, he saw a group of wild boars wandering not far away, looking like he wanted to come and eat walnuts, but he was afraid of the light and did not dare to approach.

Seeing that it was a boar, the south wind withdrew his gaze and continued to peel the walnut, which was oily and fragrant, and ate it with the dried fruit, which was sweet and tasteful.

When the boars saw that the south wind was not very fierce, they boldly approached slowly, and ate walnuts from the outside.

The south wind doesn't drive them away, there are a lot of walnuts, he can't take them all, he doesn't need so much, it doesn't hurt to share some of them.

The bold boar gradually approached, the knife was on the side of Nanfeng, Nanfeng was sure to jump up and kill it, but he didn't do that, the boar dared to approach because he thought he wouldn't hurt them, and it was wrong to use other people's trust in him to hurt others, even if the other party was a pig.

Being alone helps to think, in normal times, Nanfeng will not think much, but at this time he thought deeply, he did not kill the boar because of kindness, but the fundamental reason is that he is not hungry, if he is about to starve to death, he will not hesitate to kill the boar, where will he think what is right, Yuqing and Taiqing to provide a rich life for the people of the door is very correct, people can only be able to settle down and comprehend the way of heaven if they are hungry chest and back, not to mention meditation and enlightenment, in order to find food may even the basic morality and righteousness will be left behind。

At the second watch, Nanfeng carried the peeled walnuts into the shack, collected some hay from nearby and stuffed them into the shack as a mattress, put the knife within his reach, added firewood and grass to the campfire and began to sleep.

He did not chase away the boars, which wandered around and fled in panic if any wild beast came near, a group of unpaid men.

When he was about to fall asleep, a little groom came over with a hum and wanted to steal the walnut he had peeled, but the south wind shouted and drove it away, and lay down to sleep again.

I don't know how long it took, Nanfeng dimly felt something near him, thinking that it was another boar coming to steal food, and just wanted to wave his hand to drive away, but suddenly felt that someone was touching his face.

His heart sank, and he woke up instantly, but he didn't open his eyes immediately, because he didn't know what he would see when he opened his eyes......
