Chapter 6 Mountains and Rivers
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. --------Surname. Lu You "Visiting Shanxi Village"
The brook was babbling and crystal clear, and with two eggs leading the way, the four of them quickly went deep into the jungle. Chen Long saw that he was surrounded by green trees and strange flowers, the mist was steaming among the strange rocks of various shapes, the small beasts in the forest were flickering, and occasionally a few birdsongs were heard to add to the wild interest in the forest. A few people turned around, Chen Long felt that the altitude was gradually rising, suddenly the forest gradually thinned, and suddenly opened up in front of him, only to see a small lake, embedded in the grass of the half-slope, at the end of the lake, only to see the mountain steeply up, actually a towering cliff. Looking up again, the white clouds are steaming and diffuse, and the spires of the peaks float out of the white clouds, suddenly like entering a fairyland. Chen Longdan saw the peaks and mountains in the distance, the clear water in front of him was like a mirror, the green mountains were floating in the water, and the reflection was fluttering, and he couldn't help but look stupid.
Erdan and Liu Li, looking back, saw the Zhang family snuggling up to Chen Long, against the backdrop of such a beautiful scenery, it was really a son-in-law, a beauty like jade. Erdan couldn't help but feel ashamed, crackled and kicked a few stones into the lake, and when he turned around, he caught Chen Long's attention, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to the cliff at the end of the lake and said, "Big brother, can you see that waterfall?" That's the Water Curtain Cave. β
Chen Long followed Erdan's fingers, and sure enough, he saw a waterfall rushing down in the middle of the black cliff, which looked like a thin silver line from a distance. Chen Long asked, "How do you go up here?" The second egg replied: "I chased a clouded leopard for several days last time, but the beast panicked, and somehow disappeared when he reached the lake, and I could not find the carcass of the cheetah, but let me find this green dragon dagger on the edge of the cliff bank waterfall." The cliff is slippery and difficult to climb, and there is a cave behind the waterfall that no one has ever penetrated in. β
While talking, several people walked along the edge of the lake, all the way to the waterfall, the shallow grass on the road was just below the ankle, the wildflowers were everywhere, colorful, the lake was dotted, and it was a boundless spring. The sound of the waterfall gradually sounded, and when I got around, I saw the waterfall falling from the sky like a broken jade elixir, carving out a deep pool of rocks underneath, with a water outlet, and the water flowed down layer by layer, and finally fell into the small lake. Erdan pointed and pointed, it was the place where he found the Qinglong dagger, which was located in a stone crack on the edge of the deep pool, Chen Long searched carefully, but found nothing else, only to see layers of rocks stacked on top of each other, and finally stretched into the pool, like layers of steps into the water.
Because of the Qinglong Dagger, Long Chen was sure in his heart that someone had carried this high-end dagger here, and it was very likely that there was a hidden way out of the valley here, and there could only be two ways out, either climbing up the rock and climbing over the mountain behind it, or the cave behind the waterfall.
At that moment, Long Chen no longer hesitated, and asked Erdan, "Have you been to the cave behind this waterfall?" Erdan said: "I did swim in, but after rushing through the water curtain, it was extremely dark inside, I couldn't swim on the border for a while, and there were no torches, so I quickly turned around and came out." Long Chen nodded and said, "You wait here for a while, and I'll go and explore." Three or two took off his shirt, bit the green dragon dagger, jumped into the water, swam to the waterfall and went underwater, and disappeared. A few people knew that Chen Long's methods were superb, but they were not very worried, only the Zhang family was restless and eagerly looking forward to Brother Chen's return.
Chen Long, who was diving underwater, could still feel the huge momentum of the waterfall, but fortunately, in less than half a minute, the pressure of the impact disappeared, thinking that he had reached the back of the waterfall, and Chen Long slowly surfaced. When I turned around, I saw a curtain of water pouring down, fortunately, it was not too deep, and I could vaguely see that I was already in a cave, the left and right walls of the cave were about a few zhang apart, and the top could not be seen upward, and the water flowed slowly inward from between the two sides of the cave wall.
Chen Long swam inward along the cave wall, gradually reaching out and losing his fingers, the cave wall was close to the water, and there was no possibility of landing on the shore. Chen Long didn't have a torch, so he could only dig a small rock on the cave wall, retreat the same way, go to the shore and get dressed while giving Erdan a thumbs up, which means that it is indeed the same as what he said.
Chen Long glanced at the two eggs, and when he saw the beauty Zhang, his mood couldn't help but improve, although it was difficult to find a way out, at least there was a beauty to accompany him! simply in front of Liu Li and Erdan, he put his arm around Zhang's waist and jumped off a rock. Hearing Zhang's blurt out, Liu Li kept slandering this blatant pervert in his heart, and then shook his head and sighed, in the future, this village will have to look at Chen Long's face and behave.
After Chen Long's mood improved, his brain also became flexible, he hid the Qinglong dagger and the rock he had just dug up, put on the hunting bow, and said to Liu Li: "Brother Liu, you once said that there is a legend in the village that someone has walked out of this Qingyuan Village, I don't know what the allusion is?" Liu Li said that he didn't dare to call him a brother, and said, "Big brother, let's talk while walking." β
"That's what I heard from the oldest patriarch in the village when I was a child, and legend has it that when he was in his previous generation, there was an outsider in this Qingyuan Village," Liu Li said slowly, his tone a little high-pitched: "Legend has it that person can fly eaves and walk on walls, and his strength is infinite, but when he came, he was seriously injured, and he really didn't know how to get here alive from the vast mountains." No one knows where this person came from, only that after this person recovered from his trauma, he began to frantically look for a way out like you, and finally did not know what to do. Could it really be that he came out of the water curtain cave? β
Long Chen nodded, believing seven or eight points in his heart, and he didn't know if this Qinglong dagger was left by this senior master? Maybe this senior has managed to escape from the water curtain cave.
Thinking of this, Long Chen felt that the future was bright, and his head began to obsess with the outside world uncontrollably, and he faintly felt that he couldn't stand the Zhang family. Zhang's family is so obedient to him, he pats his ass and leaves, I wonder how the people in this village will treat Zhang? I thought about it for a while, but I didn't have a clue, but I had to find a way out, I came to find the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, and I didn't know where my lover Liu Qian was, how could I really hide in the small village and become unified? As for Zhang, there is still a way to solve it. Headache, Chen Long simply shook his head.
Erdan looked at Chen Long's head and shook his head, thinking that Chen Long had a plan for the next step, and said loudly: "Big brother is wise, how should we go about this next step?" You just command. Chen Long didn't have any plans, but how could he show his cowardice casually at this time, so he said in a thoughtful manner: "This... Next, you find a few people, set up a raft here, prepare torches and dry food, and let's go into the cave to investigate carefully. The second egg slapped the sycophants, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is really smart, I'll find someone to do it when I go back." Chen Long asked Liu Li again: "Brother Liu, what are the specialties in this mountain?" Liu Li was humble again, saying that it was okay to call Xiao Liu or Xiao Li, and then said: "There are many treasures in this mountain, there is a kind of jute root, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain; There is also a type of Golden Retriever that treats trauma. He casually picked up a bunch of blueberry-like small fruits and said, "This is our fairy fruit here, usually crushed and drinking its juice, you can live a long life." β
Liu Li obviously has a lot of experience in herbal medicine, and he opened the conversation along the way, but he was not lonely, Chen Long collected all kinds of flowers and plants from him, and he took them into his pocket one by one. Liu Li saw his eldest brother's cherished collection, and couldn't help but be even more proud, until Chen Long couldn't bear it, and even said that he couldn't put it on, and Liu Li reluctantly gave up. Of course, killing Liu Li would not have thought that Chen Long wanted to scan the light brain with these special herbs and the like, so as to roughly determine his position.
In Zhang's small courtyard, Liu Xian was spitting and bragging to the three eggs, and the bluffing three eggs were stunned, and suddenly stopped his mouth and ran outside the courtyard, it turned out that this kid was clever, and when he heard a few footsteps of Long Chen, he went over to greet the eldest brother. The poor three eggs stood stupidly in place, and suddenly saw Liu running out like a pig, and he was puzzled for a while, and a few fingers were involuntarily put into his big mouth. It wasn't until he saw Chen Long stepping into the courtyard gate that he showed an idiot smile, squatting on the ground, his tongue hanging to the side, like a watchdog. Chen Long's heart moved, although these three eggs were stupid, they looked very loyal, and asked the three eggs casually: "The window has been repaired?" The third egg snorted twice, and the second egg hurriedly translated: "Big brother, it's repaired." Chen Long thought about it, Zhang's name is still important, and asked them to sort out the firewood room next to them, and built a temporary bed with firewood. When several people saw Chen Long acting like this, they also believed that Chen Long had no intention of Zhang, but his body still needed Zhang's care.
By the time everything was done, it was already approaching dusk, and the sun was setting, and the clouds on the horizon were swaying with the golden light of the setting sun, and the shadows of the mountain peaks were gradually pressing down on the village. Chen Long stood in the middle of the courtyard and beckoned, called a few people back, and explained to a few people before saying goodbye: "Sandan and Liu are busy, tomorrow I will take a few people to make a raft near the Water Curtain Cave." Erdan, you have an injured hand, tomorrow you will work with Liu Li to collect all the long ropes and mountaineering equipment in the village. After the explanation, several people said goodbye to the eldest brother in unison and went back happily.
Zhang's had already carefully cooked some game, Chen Long was tired for a day, and he ate with relish, but the taste was a little light, thinking that there was an estimated shortage of salt in this village, and he chatted with Zhang's for a while, knowing that the only well had a low salt yield, and was controlled by Liu Li, Chen Long breathed a sigh of relief, and let Erdan send some salt tomorrow.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and Chen Long quickly ordered the light brain to search for the origin of well salt, and a few lines of subtitles flashed on the screen in his mind: "Well salt, that is, the underground brine produced by pumping natural formations or salt ore water injection by drilling wells, and the salt made is called well salt." As early as the end of the Warring States Period, Li Bing, the Taishou of Qinshu County, had dug a salt well in Sichuan to draw brine and fry salt. The production areas of well salt are mainly concentrated in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, and the largest well salt base is Zigong, Sichuan. Chen Long gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart: "It turned out that he was teleported to the southwest, but I don't know which mountain it is?" Thinking about grabbing the rucksack next to me. Seeing that Chen Long frowned, where did he dare to say more, Zhang quietly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, and gently led the door. Long Chen watched Peach Blossom go out to cover the door obediently, and hurriedly poured the contents of the backpack on the ground of the firewood house, thought about it, put the Qinglong dagger on the side, and then exhaled the big head with a light brain.
Long Chen had already explained his light brain, and after the big head popped out, his eyes swept towards those items. After identifying several herbs unique to the Great Southwest, the Light Brain began to scan the stone cut out of the Water Curtain Cave. The misty light swept by, and a few lines of small words appeared on the screen next to it: "Limestone, a sedimentary rock, is easy to be eroded under the condition of high temperature and rain, forming karst landforms, also known as karst landforms, which are mainly concentrated in Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xiangxi and other regions in China. Chen Long stared at the movement of the Zhang family outside the door, and thought that it was most likely Sichuan, Guizhou, and Hunan, but the local pronunciation in the village was self-contained, and he couldn't hear where it was. Just thinking about it, he saw the misty light sweeping over the Qinglong dagger, and hurriedly cheered up, wanting to see what the light brain could find from this dagger, only to see a line of small words appear on the screen: "Ancient dagger, produced in South Korea during the Warring States Period, made of alloy, composition of 98% low-carbon iron, 1% chromium, 1% impurities." "It turned out to be a dagger handed down from the Warring States period.
Chen Long was slightly disappointed, and lay on the simple small bed with the back of his head in his arms. However, I still made sure that I was in a certain mountain in the southwest, and after a few days to build a raft and prepare equipment and dry food, it would be the day of my dragon for nine days. Where he was so obscene that he was proud, Long Chen fell asleep, and heard a few dog barks in the distance, and Qingyuan Village was already asleep, only the widow Zhang next door, tossing and turning and swaying lovesickness, and there was insomniaγγγγγγ
