141 Nocturne
Among the three empires, the life of the Sanctuary people is the easiest. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info even if it is in the imperial capital, it is not difficult to survive.
Because the sanctuary is located in the south, Luozhu can produce bamboo rice all year round, and each bamboo rice has the size of betel nut. This alone is the envy of the other two countries with a geographical location to the north.
The rice produced by Luozhu is the ration of the low-level residents of the three empires on the mainland.
The Sanctuary is smaller than the other two countries, but has a larger population than either the Arlan or the Eastern Ridge. The population is large, and there are many people who can become gunslingers. Therefore, the strength of the Sanctuary is the largest among the Three Kingdoms.
Countless people have relied on bamboo rice in the bamboo forest to reproduce from generation to generation.
The upper echelons of the Sanctuary Empire were well aware of the importance of the Bamboo Forest. In order to ensure that the food ration is enough, no one is allowed to destroy the Luozhu forest in any form.
When the Sacred Territory was founded, the bamboo forest area accounted for one-ninth of the entire land area, and now the bamboo forest area has expanded to one-seventh of the total land area.
Before the Abyss Demon Clan invaded, everyone was laughing at it and saying that this was "raising bamboo for trouble" and that the empire was unwilling to worry about the people's lives.
As for now, after seeing the fear of the demons towards Luo Zhulin. It is estimated that many people will admire the founding emperor for his foresight, and it was he who left the chips and resources for future generations to fight back against the abyss.
In order to collect bamboo rice, generations of Sanctuary people rushed through the bamboo sea.
The bamboo forest that could not be seen at a glance was also trampled out of the paths by them. These trails crisscross the bamboo forest like cobwebs.
On average, every 100 or 200 meters, you will encounter a snowflake-shaped intersection.
It's not a horizontal and vertical crossroads, but a fork like a six-sided snowflake -- the most effective way to ensure that every piece of bamboo rice in the bamboo forest is harvested.
Even if you look down from the sky, it is difficult to see the whole picture of the bamboo forest path due to the obstruction of the bamboo forest branches. Not to mention that the terrain in the bamboo forest cannot be flat, there are not only plains, but also high mountains and hills and small streams and dark rivers.
After all, it was a sea of bamboo that was one-eighth of the land area of the Sanctuary. Such a large area of bamboo sea is connected in the Sacred Domain, which basically contains any kind of terrain and landform that can be seen in the Sacred Domain.
Therefore, apart from the workers who pick bamboo and rice, few people know which fork in the road leads to where. Even if you are a bamboo rice picker, if you go too deep, you may not be able to find a way out.
It is said that someone once got lost in the bamboo forest outside the imperial capital, and when he finally walked out of the bamboo forest, he found that he had actually arrived at the Qi family's Jinghu City.
The degree of development of the road network in Zhulinli can be seen from this.
"I've heard that there is a Xuanjin Bamboo Pond in the depths of the Bamboo Sea on the edge of the imperial capital. There is a treasure called Xuanjin Bamboo, which is said to be the material of the Yin Fu Formation. Luo Huan asked in a low voice, "Where is Fengwei Pond?"
"Xuanjin Zhutan is guarded by spirit beasts, and only you spear cultivators dare to go. Feng Fengwei replied in a low voice: "Fengwei Bamboo Pond is not far from here, it is a deep pool with a radius of six meters. In the field full of rotten bamboo leaves on the edge of the pool, there is often a rare blood bamboo woad that grows. ”
"No, those guys just now are all first-class players. Luo Huan said suspiciously: "Even if they are not spear cultivators, the kung fu in their hands will definitely not be bad." Another point, what is the blood bamboo woad used for, I have never heard of this herb before. ”
"Hey, I remember my father said that the buyers of the Blood Bamboo Woad are the high-ranking people of the empire and the four major families. Feng Fengwei's face was full of confusion: "Young Master Feng doesn't know, forget it." Why don't you know the use of the blood bamboo woad?"
Listening to Feng Fengwei's narration, Luo Huan's heart became more and more strange: if someone from the Feng family bought Blood Bamboo Seed, it was impossible for Feng Jichen not to know. In the same way, if someone from the Qi family buys the Blood Bamboo Seed, if it is really useful, Qi Mengying should also relay it to herself.
All in all, the Blood Bamboo Herb is a treasure that Luo Huan has never heard of, and its use is unknown.
Buyers disguise themselves as powerful people to buy them, in order to dispel the suspicions of the pickers and prevent any of them from becoming too curious.
Luo Huan pondered for a while: "When you were collecting blood bamboo woad back then, did buyers have a large demand for blood bamboo woad?"
The little maid nodded without thinking: "The guests are very big about the blood bamboo sham, and they almost charge as much as they want." In the days when Dad took us to escape debts, we made a living by collecting blood and bamboo sapods for money. ”
"I know all the dozens of places in the neighborhood where blood bamboo grows. Moreover, the quality of blood bamboo siad is the best produced in Fengweitan. ”
Luo Huan cleared his mind a little: Those people just now had fluctuations that disgusted me. From hundreds of meters away, I could feel the disgusting aura in them.
If they don't leave when it's bright during the day, but they rush overnight in the bamboo forest, what kind of medicine is sold in their gourds?
Luo Huan has the heart to explore the Fengwei Lake that Feng Wei said at night, and see what those people who have just passed are doing. But considering that when the light is dark, it is dangerous to wander around with a maid who does not know martial arts.
So Luo Huan decided to go over there tomorrow to check it out.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and said, "Rest first, and take me to Fengwei Lake tomorrow." If we can, we'll take some of the Bloody Bamboo Woad to the ruined city. Let's see if we can find someone who knows the goods, so that we can also earn some living expenses. ”
"You're so thoughtful!" Grace closed her eyes happily.
Just when Luo Huan was looking at the sky and was distracted, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind from his clothes again.
Listening to the sound, it looks like someone is coming from the direction of Fengwei Lake. Luo Huan started gently, concentrating his eyes and looking in the direction where the voice came from.
Luo Huan's shimmering vision was extremely powerful, and he recognized at a glance that these people were the people who had just passed.
They left faster than when they came, and the fluctuations on their bodies that disgusted Luo Huan had disappeared cleanly at this moment.
If it weren't for the fact that their clothes and outfits hadn't changed, Luo Huan would definitely treat them as another group of people who were traveling at night.
"I've only been waking up for less than a day, and I've seen more strange things than I've seen in a year. Luo Huan watched everyone go away, and he became more curious about the secret of Fengwei Pond.
---
Early the next morning, Feng Fengwei led Luo Huan to the edge of a waterhole in the bamboo forest.
The girl pointed to the waterhole and said, "This is Fengwei Lake, because the aquatic plants in the pool resemble phoenix tails." ”
Luo Huan just stretched out his hand to test the water, and the moment his fingertips touched the waterhole, he withdrew his right hand like an electric shock.
"It's so strong!" Luo Huan showed a solemn expression on his face: "My Ice True Qi cultivation is not weak, even if it is cold and snowy in the polar ice field, it has no effect on me." ”
"But the cold qi of this waterhole is more refined than my true qi. It made me feel frozen for a moment, and with my ability, I couldn't even hold on for a second. Why has such a powerful and mysterious waterhole never been discovered before?"
Feng Fengwei also put her hand into the water and shook it, and the girl showed a puzzled expression: "This water is obviously not cold?"
