Chapter 046: The Legend of Stalagmite Mountain
In the next few days, the adults were busy with work and business, and the children went crazy, under the leadership of the local Dong Jingjing, even Nie Xiangyun, who has always been introverted, followed a group of children, running around Jiangjin, and within a few days, it was like a group of Jiangjin locals.
Ai Xiaoyu is not so lucky, she is surrounded by three teachers to study, a while of Chinese medicine, a foreign language, and a period of Chinese painting, can only occasionally follow them out to play, but, fortunately, she is now mentally mature, but she can bear the loneliness, learning alone, it is also self-inflicted.
Since Nie Xinyuan saw Xu Yuanzhi's flying needle stunt, he often followed Ai Xiaoyu with a dead face, watching him explain the essentials of acupuncture, the relationship between his martial arts, and the acupuncture points of the human body are also very familiar.
Nie Xinyuan actually doesn't care much about what kind of disciple it is, he just wants to learn Xu Yuanzhi's Flying Flower Divine Needle, as he is not very interested in traditional Chinese medicine, he uses the Flying Flower Divine Needle as a secret weapon to learn, Xu Yuanzhi has no problem with this alternative student, his face is thick enough to have a thick city wall, he has no choice.
"Little Peach Blossom, Master plans to go to Stalagmite Mountain the day after tomorrow and go into the deep mountains to collect medicine, are you interested?"
After Xu Yuanzhi taught Ai Xiaoyu Flying Needle, he asked the little apprentice's thoughts, the most important thing for people who learn Chinese medicine is to master pharmacology, and to understand each herb from the growth environment, habits, climate, water and soil, etc., and to go into the mountains to collect medicines is also a kind of exercise.
"Really? Old naughty boy, little peach blossom goes, I want to go too! ”
Nie Xinyuan on the side listened to Xu Yuanzhi's question, it didn't matter if he wanted to take him or not, as long as Ai Xiaoyu went, he would definitely follow. Since he heard the names between Xu Yuanzhi and Ai Xiaoyu, he found that he also liked them very much, so he followed and applied the names of the two.
"You go, I'm asking about Little Peach Blossom, what's the matter with you?"
"Old naughty boy, I'm a martial arts practitioner, I'll protect the two of you, when the time comes, the two of you will focus on collecting medicine, if you encounter a snake or something, there will be one of you next to me!"
"You crow's mouth, bad and bad spirits"
"Old urchin master, I definitely want to go, I heard that stalagmite mountain is the place where the iron crutch Li sits and ascends in the 'Eight Immortals', I want to go and get rid of the immortal energy!"
Ai Xiaoyu also heard in later generations that in the eighties and nineties, in the stalagmite mountain stream, local residents and tourists had picked up sapphires and rubies many times, maybe she could have an adventure this time!
Stalagmite Mountain is located at the junction of Shimen Town and Yongchuan Berlin in Jiangjin, there are male and female stalagmite double peaks in the mountain, the male peak belongs to the jurisdiction of Jiangjin, and the female peak belongs to the jurisdiction of Yongchuan.
This time when they entered Stalagmite Mountain, Bai Shibing and several of them wanted to come, but the adults did not agree, and the adults all knew that Xu Yuanzhi was to collect medicine, which was a serious matter, not to travel or play. Only Nie Xinyuan is nominally a registered disciple of Xu Yuanzhi, and he came with Xu Yuanzhi and Ai Xiaoyu.
All three of them were wearing sportswear, one of them prepared a set of wilderness survival equipment, food, drink, insect medicine, flashlights, etc., and brought a tent, and the three of them made up their minds to go into the mountains, which meant that they had to spend the night in the mountains.
Nie Xinyuan and Ai Xiaoyu were excited, neither of them had survived in the wild, and the thought of sleeping in the mountains made them feel very excited, and they didn't look scared at all, Nie Xinyuan should be "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", and Ai Xiaoyu should be a bamboo in his chest.
When Ai's father was leaving, he was still worried and reluctant, Ai's mother could only follow Ai's father and pretend to be reluctant, but she knew in her heart that her daughter had a ring space and was very safe.
All the way from Jiangjin to cross the river by boat, to Degan Railway Station, it took only three people about an hour to get on the train to Berlin Station, get off the train, you can directly climb the stalagmite mountain.
Xu Yuanzhi knows a lot about stalagmite mountain, he has been here many times, there are many rare animals and plants and precious medicinal materials in the depths of stalagmite mountain, but it is difficult to find, their task this time is to find some more precious and uncommon herbs, Ai Xiaoyu is even more determined, when smuggling plants, by the way, smuggling some rare animals, her ring space has recently had a few more deep mountains, it is very quiet, there is a shortage of animals.
"Old urchin master, tell us the origin of this stalagmite mountain, or the story of stalagmite mountain."
Ai Xiaoyu slowly climbed the mountain road, and at the same time wanted Xu Yuanzhi to tell a story to the two of them, she knew more about the stories here, and Nie Xinyuan might not have heard of it.
"Yes, old naughty boy, we all want to hear legends, otherwise, the three of us climb the mountain quietly like this, it's not interesting, aren't you very familiar with stalagmite mountain, you won't even know the legends and stories here, right?"
"You don't have to sing or drink, I'll just talk about it.
According to legend, the rich man on Yunwuping has a daughter, who is eighteen years old, with a sinking appearance and a shy flower in the closed moon. The rich man regarded it as a pearl in his palm. Miss has to go to Huanxiping every day to play for a while. Coincidentally, the young man hired by the rich man's family was also there, and the two fell in love at first sight for life. When the rich man learned of this, he became angry and ordered the family to arrest the boy and beat him to death as soon as possible.
I don't know who leaked the news, but when the young lady learned of the situation, she saw that things were not good, and escaped from the house with the boy that night. After a while, more than a dozen family members chased after each other like fire dragons, and the young lady and the teenager supported each other, running desperately, and fell all over the blood. Seeing that he was about to be chased, there was a cliff in front of him, and he would rather die than be caught. The two hugged each other and jumped off the rock.
A colorful cloud lifted them back to their original place, and Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in front of them, blowing a mouthful of mist at the chasing family, flooding the large and small mountain roads, and the family could not find the way with torches. The Bodhisattva looked at the young man, pointed to the north with his finger, and turned into a mountain peak, shaped like a young man, called a male stalagmite; He looked at Miss again, and pointed to the south with his finger, turning into a mountain peak, shaped like Miss, called a female stalagmite.
The two mountains are connected, like a couple clasping their fingers, silently looking at each other. It is said that couples who make good wishes on the two peaks will be blessed by male and female stalagmites, and they will be united forever and grow old together. ”
"Isn't this similar to the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? I don't like this story, it's a tragedy! ”
Ai Xiaoyu believes that living in the present, people die like lights going out, just like she has practiced Tai Chi now, and the most powerful can only be cultivated to the condensation period, and she can live for hundreds or thousands of years at most, but she can't cultivate the Yuan Baby, and she can't have a second life, if only people could live forever.
"I don't like it either, old naughty boy, tell me the story of Tie Guan Li again, I like fairy stories, immortals can soar through the clouds, very powerful, I also want to learn spells!"
Nie Xinyuan has recently become obsessed with the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", and he is envious of the fairies and monsters in it, he is an upright baby, monsters are bad people, he definitely doesn't like it, he wants to be a fairy, get rid of demons and defend the road, before he came, he listened to Ai Xiaoyu's words, and knew that there was a fairy story in Stalagmite Mountain, of course, he was very yearning.
The three of them, just what you said and what I said, told the story of the gods. The group walked in the silent valley, I don't know how long they walked, at this time they were surrounded by white clouds, mist, purple smoke shrouded in the mountains, ethereal, looming.
"Brother Xinyuan, we won't really enter the fairyland, right?" Ai Xiaoyu found that everyone seemed to have entered a phantom array, and her spiritual power could not detect it.
"I think so, too. I felt like I was stepping on a cloud, and my body felt like it was about to fly! Little Peach Blossom, do you feel this way?
"I have it too, it's so much fun."
"Little Peach Blossom, I'll still hold your hand, otherwise it won't be good for you to accidentally step on the wrong road for a while."
"Brother Xinyuan, then you must hold my hand tightly, as soon as you say it, I am also a little scared!"
Ai Xiaoyu believes that there are ghosts and gods in the world, otherwise, the ring space will not be able to explain.
Ai Xiaoyu found that something was pulling her, and after a while, she no longer pulled her, but pushed her, and she realized that the three of them were now standing on the edge of the cliff, and Ai Xiaoyu was pushed to the cliff by this mysterious force.
"Brother Xinyuan, I feel like something is pulling me, ah——, fast! It's pushing me, let me go! Cliff! Dangerous, dangerous ......"
She thought that Nie Xinyuan could put it in her hand, otherwise, he would follow him down the cliff, she had ring space, at most when she was in the air, enter the ring space.
"Ahh
Nie Xinyuan didn't let go of Ai Xinyuan's hand, and fell off the cliff with Ai Xiaoyu.
