Chapter Twenty-Nine: Into the Mountains
When the woman in red heard Baotong say this, a big smile appeared on her face, she had been widowed for many years and had no source of livelihood, if she could sell something, of course it would be good!
It's just that there are often some "earth rats" who walk the streets and alleys in this village, and some old things in the past have been sold by her, and she has to think about what else can bluff these city people.
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart, and she didn't know what these city people thought, they had money and no land to spend, and they actually bought those things that no one wanted.
As she thought, she approached the room and took out a cyan oil lamp, which was in the shape of a lotus flower, and left a hole in the place of the lotus platform, where the lamp should be twisted.
Looking at the mottled jade, Lin Qingyao's heart tightened, this was clearly the same material as the jade pendant she got!
But she still didn't leak her face, she was not stupid, she knew that if she was too interested, she would definitely make this middle-aged woman suspicious and raise the price.
Baotong looked at the lampstand with disgust and said: "Eldest sister, what about you, look at the lotus flower on this candlestick, the knife work is neat, where are the ancient objects?" I guess I got it from a stall. β
The middle-aged woman was a little weak-hearted, although this lampstand did not come up from the stall, but it was not handed down by her ancestors, but once when she entered the mountain, she picked it up.
Now that it is said to be a stall, of course she has no way to argue with it.
Lin Qingyao stretched out her hand and took the lampstand, and actually felt a trace of aura in it, although this aura was so weak that Cheng DΓΉ could not be found without careful investigation, but it did have an aura.
Lin Qingyao smiled at Baotong and said, "I think the lotus flower on this lampstand is very beautifully carved, and it is good to take it back as a work of art." β
The middle-aged woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "If you like it, take fifty yuan!" She looked at Lin Qingyao cautiously when she spoke, only to see that Lin Qingyao frowned, and seemed to be a little disgusted by the high price, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qingyao said: "It can be regarded as bothering you for a night, and I will take this lampstand." β
"I wonder where you found this lampstand? I also want to buy a few and make up an auspicious number to keep for my collection. Lin Qingyao asked casually.
The woman did not doubt him, so she replied: "Big sister, I see that you are honest people, so I will tell you the truth, this jade pendant was picked up in the back mountain." β
Anyway, the people in this wronged city are in love with the style of the lampstand, and it's not because it's an antique, so to tell the truth, it won't have any impact.
Lin Qingyao nodded, and had deeper expectations for the back mountain! Hopefully, she'll find something and make the trip worthwhile.
She was fed up with this kind of half-understanding of cultivation, and she couldn't wait to really show the world she had never known before in front of her.
"Qing Yao, if you like it, when we enter the mountain in a while, I'll pick one up for you!" Baotong said with a smile.
"Into the mountains?" The middle-aged woman looked at several people in surprise.
She paused and said solemnly, "In the evening, you must come back." β
Lin Qingyao and Baotong nodded in person, but when they came out, they didn't care, if they didn't stay overnight in the mountains, what fun would there be in this camping?
At that moment, a few people packed up their things, and then Baotong spent money to hire a person to watch the car and went on the road.
Three people, to bring two tents, Xu Ran prepared one, Lin Qingyao carried one, this kind of small tent specially used for camping, is quite light, for a strong man like Lin Qingyao, it is simply too easy.
They took some more bits and pieces, and the men went into the mountain.
The vegetation in the mountains is very luxuriant, and along a bluestone staircase that I don't know when it was built, I climb up and see the green trees.
There are occasionally unknown small flowers on the roadside, which makes a few people who have stayed in the city for a long time dazzled, and the fragrance of plants and trees that came to their noses made several people feel happy.
The mountain where Lin Qingyao met Xu Ran at the beginning, compared to this, is simply a barren mountain and a wild mountain!
When he arrived at the back mountain of Rong Village, Lin Qingyao understood what it means to be an outstanding person and a good show......
The further you go, the more moss there is on the bluestone steps, so it can be seen that few people come here.
Bao Tong said that it was best to climb over this mountain, and if you meet people in the village who are cutting wood or collecting medicine while camping, you will inevitably lose your interest.
So the people went over the mountain with all their might, and when they went down the mountain, it was much easier, and the city was mountainous, and behind the mountain, there was still a mountain...... In the middle of the two mountains, there is a flat land through which a small river passes.
After discussing it, the three of them decided to set up camp here.
Lin Qingyao looked at the two busy people, and then said, "I'll go to the woods to pick up some branches, and then we can build a bonfire!" β
At this time, it was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the woods were not far from the camp, Baotong and Xu Ran did not stop Lin Qingyao.
In fact, these three people are now faintly led by Lin Qingyao, and what Lin Qingyao said, under normal circumstances, they would not refute it.
Lin Qingyao walked to the woods on the side, the towering ancient trees, there were many fallen dead branches, Lin Qingyao picked them up while looking around...... I want to find clues about the practitioners.
After picking up a large bundle of firewood, she didn't find anything unusual, and she was a little annoyed.
She suddenly laughed dumbly, if the traces of that cultivator were really so easy to find, wouldn't the whole world be full of cultivators?
At this moment, she frowned, looking at the big moss-covered stone in front of her, the moss on it was too dense? With a thick layer, it looks like a natural carpet.
She stretched out her hand to uncover the moss, revealing the true appearance of the stone, which turned out to be the same one she had obtained two pieces one after another, the kind of stone with aura!
This stone is very large, and Lin Qingyao wasted a lot of effort to clean it up.
This stone is much purer than the jade pendant and the lampstand, and the cyan jade substance is much more than the messy gray-brown spots.
Lin Qingyao touched the slightly cool stone, and felt a trace of aura, which penetrated into his body, and was much richer than the aura in the outside air.
Lin Qingyao plans to bring back such a good thing in its entirety, whether it is useful or not, take it back to study and study first!
Lin Qingyao looked left and right, and moved the big stone hard, but she didn't expect to move a big foundation out of it!
