Chapter 22: The Treasure Land
I rested at the camp for another night, and the next morning I packed up early and began to continue walking towards the Misty Forest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On an early summer morning, a thin layer of mist envelops everything, and it is hazy. The sunlight slowly peeked out of the mist, and the layers of light beams were beautiful in a flash.
The team walked forward one after another, slowly approaching the edge of the Misty Forest. The place where the Su family sacrificed was in the misty forest, but it didn't go deeper, so there were not many casualties in the sacrifices in previous years.
But Pei Hanyu vaguely felt that something was going to happen.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the misty forest, and found a house that had been built in the past, and everyone was on horseback, except for the personal maid by his side, and the guards with higher martial arts skills followed, and the rest waited here for news.
Pei Hanyu looked around here, and basically saw some common medicinal herbs, and now they have all arrived here, so there is no reason not to follow, so he took the initiative to ask to go to the misty forest together.
It is said that there are many strange events in the Misty Forest, and no one has been able to reach the depths of the Misty Forest so far. It is precisely because of the existence of this misty forest that the Yi country on the other side of the Longqiong River has no chance to invade, and it is precisely because of this natural barrier that the Cangxia country has less trouble with the Yi country.
According to the people of Yiguo, the Longqiong River originates from Longmian Mountain and flows through Zixiao Mountain, and this Zixiao Mountain is in line with the misty forest.
There are many legends about the Misty Forest, the most common of which is that the Misty Forest is an area ruled by Hell and contains many treasures, but no one has ever come out of it alive, let alone the contents of it.
"Is the Misty Forest really that scary?" Pei Hanyu asked Su Runsheng.
"It's terrible! At that time, my grandmother was forced to come here to find a way out, and we were really lucky to be able to find the body, those poor people, I don't know how many lives were sent inside. In recent years, fortunately, the lives of the people have been greatly improved under the emperor's rule, and there are fewer people running for their lives here. ”
Pei Hanyu raised his eyes and often the lush woods in front of him were covered by mist, and it was very difficult to look into the depths.
"How long does it take to get from here to my grandmother's burial place?"
"It will take about a stick of incense."
"It won't take long to go back and forth, I'll go with you."
"In the past few years, I have already made all the marks on the side of the road when I go to the sacrifice, so I don't have to worry too much." Su Runsheng comforted.
"Hmm." Pei Hanyu responded, thinking about how to find an opportunity to find it for a while, and see if there were any good medicinal materials.
Dai and Su Zhe were ready, and the servants who were leading the horses to carry the sacrifices had already begun to transport them inside.
"Hanyu, follow me." Dai came over and grabbed Pei Hanyu.
"Okay."
"There's a lot of moisture inside, wear this shawl." After Dai finished speaking, he draped a white cloak on Pei Hanyu's shoulders and tied a small and cute knot.
"Mother, I'll protect my cousin in a while." Su Runsheng said attentively on the side.
"Then you have to protect it, and don't spill your grandmother's favorite sweet wine." The old lady who died in the Su family loved to eat sweet wine very much during her lifetime, and every year there will be good sweet wine prepared for the sacrifice.
"Every year, I personally bring it to my grandmother, which time did I mess it up?"
"Monkey spirit, be careful, your father is already waiting there, let's go."
Now it's just at the edge of the misty forest, there is already a fog lingering, to say it's strange, the sun is shining outside, it should be very hot, just into the misty forest is a little cold, the more you go inside, the more obvious it feels.
Obviously, there are marks made by the Su family on both sides of the road over the years, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see any obvious markings, and many of the signs have been scattered in a mess.
The reproduction ability of the trees here is very strong, which is the first feeling of Pei Hanyu when he comes in. Especially after walking for about a quarter of an hour, when I found the grave of Su Runsheng's grandmother.
At first glance, I thought it was a deserted tomb, the tombstone was all covered with green plants, and the tomb was also overgrown with trees.
It can grow like this in a year, and I don't know what kind of results the medicinal herbs will have when they are planted here.
"These trees grow so fast every year?" Pei Hanyu was a little surprised.
"Well, it's not quite the same as the one out there, right? That's basically the case when we come here every year, so it's no surprise that we see a lot. ”
The people said that the sacrificial items were put aside first, and then they began to tidy up the grave and cut down the weeds and trees, which is the original face of the tomb.
Seeing that they still needed to be busy for a while, Pei Hanyu couldn't hold it back, and asked the people on the side in a low voice: "Su Runsheng, I really want to hear the sound of water flowing, let's go over and have a look, okay?"
"There's a stream over there, I've been there before, my mother almost didn't kill me, it's very dangerous in the misty forest, don't run around." Unexpectedly, Su Runsheng rejected him, Pei Hanyu was surprised that Su Runsheng, the demon king of the mixed world, was also afraid of this misty forest.
"I see that there is still soil written on the tombstone, and it would be good to get some water." Pei Hanyu did not relent.
"Just let the next person go in a while, you just stay here." Su Runsheng did not let go.
"Don't you see everyone is busy? There's nothing going on with the two of us right now! And you've been there before, so nothing happened. "Pei Hanyu didn't want to give up such a big piece of treasure here.
"Well...... I haven't encountered any danger......" Su Runsheng was a little shaken.
"Go, go, I'll let Zhiya help here, just the two of us, if there is danger, my uncle and aunt can hear it."
"I can't help you, let's go." Su Runsheng lifted a container next to him and walked with Pei Hanyu to the stream next to him.
In fact, the creek is not far away, and when I turned around, I could see Dai and Su Zhe commanding people there, and when I saw this, I couldn't help but say, "Don't go far, you two!" ”
"Yes!" The two said in unison.
It's really just a small stream, with crystal clear water, and because it stays from a slightly higher place, it's louder.
Pei Hanyu has been staring at these green plants around him from the beginning, and many common herbs grow here very large.
"You're looking around with starry eyes, don't you really want to come here to fetch water?" Su Runsheng asked with a smile.
Pei Hanyu blinked embarrassedly because Su Runsheng saw through his mind and said, "There are a lot of herbs mentioned in books here, and the first time I saw the real one, I couldn't help but be curious." ”
"Just know! Have you finished reading all those books that were given to you last time? ”
"Well, I've finished reading it, so now I feel that these flowers and plants are very interesting, so I will use your old man's light to open my eyes."
"Little girl, I really can't help you, just look around here, take a look, I'll get water here, remember not to go far!" While busy working, he didn't forget to tell Pei Hanyu.
"Okay!" At this time, Pei Hanyu can let go of his hands and feet to find it.
Isn't this the white-flowered snake tongue grass! This season happens to be the flowering season! Dig it back!
Lobelia! Dig it back!
Little day garlic! Dig it back!
……
These medicinal materials are rare in Su Mansion, and Pei Hanyu is ecstatic in his heart.
