Chapter 24 Beauty Lips
Beibi Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, is a branch of the dragon vein of the Qinling Mountains, the trees on the mountain are luxuriant, verdant like clouds, it is now the season of spring flowers, but see the peach buds on the branches gently spitting out the stamens in the breeze, and the grass on the ground stretches its pale green buds to the fullest; This place is not only beautiful scenery, but also an excellent feng shui treasure land, the mountains in the north are majestic, the water is deep and the soil is thick, which is extremely in line with the feng shui theory of 'pillow mountain and pedaling river' advocated by the ancients; 'born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, dead and buried in the north' was once the two great wishes of the ancient Chinese, only the rich and noble can do so, the tomb of Qin Xiang Lu Buwei and Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu is hidden in this mountain, and the tombs of other princes and generals are countless.
After walking out of the barracks, Xiao Yi traveled all the way north, relying on his skills, crossing the mountains and streams like walking on flat ground, following a path washed out by the flood in the mountains, and soon entered the depths of the Beibi Mountain; The birds and flowers are fragrant in the mountain stream, and wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots are everywhere, because it is still on the periphery of the imperial garden, and few ordinary people enter it, so the natural ecology has been greatly protected; Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the white clouds in the distance, and looking at the green mountains and rivers up close, it is like heaven and earth.
Along the way, Xiao Yat has harvested a lot, and many precious and rare medicinal materials can be picked here, which is really worthwhile; A gust of mountain wind blows, rustling, a faint fragrance also comes with the wind, people can't help but feel refreshed, along the direction of the source of the fragrance, not far from a cliff on a strange plant attracted his attention, a few blooming flowers are red like fire, pink like jade, crystal petals are like a beauty's red lips fluttering in the wind, people can't help but want to get closer to the past; Between a few jumps, Xiao Yi was like a dexterous ape, easily dragging the rattan on the cliff and climbing up, there were not many ways in the world to stop him.
Sure enough, it is it, "beauty lips" is the name of this flower, a beautiful name with a hint of fragrance, and the medicinal properties of this flower are very similar to its name, just like the real beauty lips, beautiful and poisonous! It's tempting!
As far as Xiao Yat knows, on this seemingly glamorous flower, the poison of any petal can easily poison ten strong men, which can be called extremely poisonous; However, everything in the world is divided into two sides, and the highly poisonous medicine is often a great tonic, whether it is good or harmful, it depends on how you use it, and one of the purposes of Xiao Yi on this trip is 'her'.
Gently approaching the flowers, Xiao Yi was not in a hurry to pick, the flowers have thorns, the more beautiful the thorns, the more powerful they are, making people unguardable, standing a few steps away, Xiao Yi looked at it carefully, soil, rocks, grass, branches and leaves...... Everything around him seemed normal, but the Condor Archer's instincts told him that there was definitely a great danger here, otherwise it wouldn't be called 'Beauty Lips'!
After a long time, a fresh breeze blew, and all the branches and leaves shook gently, except for a small section of slightly thicker green branches.
"The whole body is emerald green, almost the same color as the flower branches, the triangular head is crowned with thin scales, reddish eyes, the pupils are perpendicular in a line, a bit like a cat's eyes, the body is very thin, and the tail is burnt red; Sure enough, it was the 'Green Viper', a mutated viper, because it likes to live with this flower called 'Beauty Lips', so the world gave it a nice name - 'Green Maiden'!
The snake is extremely venomous, usually clinging to the flower branches, feeding on the petals of the lips of beauty, and at the same time it also provides protection for the flowers against the invasion of outsiders, and the two live together to form a strange symbiote; If he is bitten by this snake, it is estimated that Xiao Yi will have to sleep here for a long time, and be neighbors with those underground princes and generals.
But everyone has a large burial chamber to sleep, if Xiao Yi falls here, he can only fall to the sky, he has no room when he is alive, and he still has no room after he dies, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen anyway!
Gently stepping forward, slowing down the rhythm of breathing, Xiao Yi even slowed down his heartbeat as much as possible, and the whole person seemed to slowly merge with the surrounding peaks, streams, and trees; In this way, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not alarm this 'green girl', after all, the snake's thermal system was very sensitive.
Slowly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the seven inches of the snake, and approached little by little, the excitement of challenging the great danger, people couldn't help but have an inexplicable excitement, just a few inches away, suddenly the 'green girl' was shocked, and the snake body, which was originally silent and motionless, flew up out of thin air, and bit Xiao Yi's right hand hard, the action was so fast, the attack was sudden, and it was impossible to guard against it......
"Let's go! …… Wipe! "In the flash of lightning, a powerful big hand grabbed the snake's seven inches, the thick cotton palm was like a piece of topaz, and the fingers were pale and powerful, this was Xiao Yi's left hand; Just as everyone has a secret, Xiao Yat also has one, a secret that no one knows anymore except his parents; It turned out that he was --- left-handed.
Xiao Yi was actually a left-handed man when he was born, and the flexibility of his left hand was much higher than that of his right hand, but when he was five years old, because he was naughty, he broke his left arm while playing, and he broke his muscles and bones for a hundred days! During this period of recuperation, the little Xiao Yi suffered a lot, his left arm was in a plaster, he couldn't move, and he could only rely on his right hand, which he was not used to using for all his life, eating with one hand, dressing with one hand, and going to the toilet with the other......
It's a handful of tears to think about, but after more than three months of sad life, when Xiao Yi's left arm returned to normal, he was surprised to find that he was used to doing everything with his right hand, like most people, in other words, he could open the bow left and right; So, in order not to be different among children of the same age, Xiao Yat chose to use his right hand in front of others, write with his right hand, and eat with his right hand......
And the left hand, which was actually more flexible, fell asleep like this, and became a secret of Xiao Yi, and today this secret saved his life.
"It's really unreasonable, in this world, even a snake is so cunning!" Holding the green viper that wanted to raid him in his left hand, Xiao Yi began to complain loudly, but he didn't know that man is the spirit of all things, integrating heaven and earth, and what animal in this world can be more cunning and good at camouflage than humans?
However, this 'green girl' is also a different species in the snake, it is usually rare to see, it is a pity to lose it, take out his own treasure wine gourd, Xiao Yi pinched the snake to death and stuffed it directly, do not use a live snake to soak in wine, because the vitality of the snake is extremely tenacious, even in a closed wine bottle, it can live in a dormant state, if you are not careful, it may eat you at any time. "As for the wine made with poisonous snakes, it can not only dispel wind and circulation, invigorate blood, relieve pain, detoxify, and it is said to have the effect of strengthening the kidneys......
There are many wild beasts in the mountains, fat roe deer, hares, pheasants, bamboo rats are running all over the mountains, so naturally you don't have to worry about not finding lunch; Following a cooing sound, Xiao Yi easily hit two fat male pheasants with small stones, spring is the season of pheasant estrus, with long feathers on the tail, very gorgeous; In this era, generals like to insert pheasant feathers on their helmets, which are both powerful and beautiful.
Under the childlike attack, Xiao Yi plucked out the two most beautiful pheasant feathers and inserted them into his crown; Suddenly, the image of a cute little Taoist priest with slightly dark skin and pheasant feathers on his head appeared......
A clear stream flows slowly in the mountain stream, and the sound of the waterfall can be faintly heard in the distance, which seems to be a clean living water; Xiao Yi carried the pheasant to the stream, and today he was going to make a 'flower chicken' to reward himself. After removing the internal organs of the pheasant, cleaning it, sprinkling it with the salt and the wild onions, wild garlic, and artemisia ......collected in the mountains, and then digging up the clean silt from the stream and wrapping it, as the smoke rises, throw the two mud balls into the fire.
Soon, the mud dried chicken was cooked, and the black mud shell on the outside was gently peeled off, and all the chicken feathers were taken off, revealing the white and tender chicken inside; Suddenly, a rich aroma came to the face, making people smell it, and ...... slander, Xiao Yi immediately turned into a gluttony and devoured it......
When he was happily eating, suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, "Two horses, three hundred steps away, the sound of horses' hooves is rapid and distinct, it seems that they are two rare good horses, and they are running towards him......" The ears of the condor archer are extremely sensitive, and Xiao Yi quickly made a judgment with his hearing.
Sure enough, in a moment, two fast horses appeared in Xiao Yi's sight, the first was a white horse covered in snowflakes and without a single miscellaneous hair, the horse's head was raised high, his eyes were abnormally smart, his limbs were strong and powerful, and he looked like a good horse from the Western Regions; On horseback sat a young girl, covered with a red cloak, wearing a deerskin hunting coat, and a pair of long riding boots underneath; His jet-black hair was tied with only a ribbon, fluttering in the wind, his face was extremely fair, and his bright eyes had a faint sky blue; He also wears a small gold-handled scimitar at his waist; The whole person is like a snow lotus on an iceberg, unattainable, and it also reveals a wild and rebellious beauty.
Behind is a red horse, on which sits a slightly younger, green-clothed girl, dressed in dress and headdress, because it should be a maid, she looks equally pure and lovely, but at this time there is a slight nervousness on her face, and she looks around from time to time; Both men carried bows and arrows on their horses, and it seems that they had gone into the mountains to hunt.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but light up, a stunning beauty! "The eyebrows, eyes, facial features, body and demeanor, there is simply no place to be charming, and the most important thing is that face, like! It's so similar, it's exactly like the woman in the depths of his memory that has haunted him for many years......"
As soon as his nose was hot, two streams of liquid flowed out, Xiao Yi wiped it with his hand, and it was actually blood from one hand, "Uh...... I had a nosebleed, hehe! Qi and blood surged, exactly the same as in her previous life, and the first time I saw her, I had a nosebleed...... My lover! ”
