The next day, early in the morning, people from Shengjing No. 1 came to invite everyone.

Li Yiyi and his party stayed on the Shengjing Zero, and the guests were on the other two boats.

Each ship has its own kitchen, and the Mahdi sent someone to invite him, and breakfast was only superficial, and the purpose was to continue the light-hearted journey of yesterday.

Today, their destination is Siming Mountain, a scorching landmark in Mingzhou and nearby Cixi, Yinzhou, Fenghua, Yanxian, Shangyu and other places.

In the land south of the Yangtze River, the mountains are beautiful in Lingxiu, the mountains of Siming Mountain are verdant and connected, the streams are murmuring, the four seasons are distinct, the colorful vegetation, and the mountains and wild people's houses are the places where you come to Mingzhou and can't help but go.

Because of the flourishing literary style in the Tang Dynasty, it was a necessary place for poets to travel.

They may ride alone and fight with swords to make grand tours; or indifferent to the red dust, devoting himself to the mountains and rivers to do hidden travel; Or when the danger is more and more to avoid chaotic travel, Siming Mountain is one of the birthplaces of an excellent landscape poetry.

The Tang Poetry Road in eastern Zhejiang is laid on the Mingshao Plain, just like the Mingzhou where mountains and rivers meet.

For thousands of years, how many people have passed by here, and how many people have left a single word for this.

The past and present of Mingzhou are recorded in those overgrown mountains, because they carry the past of the Tang Poetry Road, and show another literati elegance beyond the scenery.

Li Yiyi and his entourage, fully prepared dozens of carriages, and arrived at Siming Mountain.

According to legend, Taoism has 36 caves of heaven, 72 blessed land, all immortals live in the place of recreation, the Siming Cave in this mountain, that is, the ninth cave of the 36 caves.

It can be seen that there will be many Taoist hidden cultivators here, these people like to live in secluded mountains and forests, so they choose more places with immortal legends, so there are many palaces built on Siming Mountain, and the cultivators are looking forward to the fairy wind and the Taoist garden.

Although the Taoist atmosphere here is different from the religious beliefs of the people in the Western Regions, it does not affect their reverence and curiosity.

There are so many foreign believers in other religions appearing together, and the exotic robes and turbans of Yishui naturally attract the attention of tourists and Taoists on the mountain.

Therefore, before they could climb the mountainside, more than a dozen people from various temples came to invite them.

The occurrence of such events has aroused the love and respect of the people of the Western Regions for the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty in the East.

The reason is simple: in their country, there is mutual hatred between pagan religions, and apart from strife, at most they ignore each other, and relations between them are as cold as ice, and such grand acts of kindness rarely occur.

For them, the Tang Dynasty is a prosperous dynasty in the world, whether it is from the people's life, or economic strength, cultural influence, and the deterrence of a strong army, they all know that there is a rich and powerful Tang Empire in the East.

Therefore, these Arab tyrants are very yearning, after seeing the dazzling luxury of the Tang Dynasty, they want to know how the country is so rich, whether the people are hardworking and willing to work, whether the officials are diligent in political affairs, and so on.

Because I saw the kindness of the pagan religion to me today, the goodwill in my heart increased exponentially in a blink of an eye.

For Dongtu Taoists, treating pagan religions well is in the same vein as helping the world and saving people in the teachings.

In addition, because Confucianism is compatible with Taoism, love and mutual assistance are also covered by Taoist teachings, and the ideas and contents of happiness and goodness are naturally accepted by the main body of religious ethics and morality.

This kind of open-mindedness and tolerance is the embodiment of friendship for foreign people, so it is the first

In a spacious ancestral hall called Yongji Temple, the people of the Western Regions deeply felt the sincerity of the Taoist people.

At this time, it was just noon, and Yongji Temple was a large meditation hall with hundreds of cultivators, and it was nothing to have an extra hundred or ten people to eat.

But Li Zhi knew the importance of courtesy, and at the first time, he secretly instructed the ladies to go to the front hall to throw some incense money.

Qingqi was not ambiguous, and he didn't count, and gave Pang Qi, Yiyi, and Yuran a few hundred taels of silver each, and put them into the merit box after worshipping each of them.

After all, more than 100 people are not a small number, although the halal banquet is presented, and there are some precious ingredients such as mountain delicacies and sea delicacies.

The presiding officer of Yongji Guan is called Shang Qing, and Guan Nei is not a cultivation faction, and after learning that Li Zhi has close contacts with the Laojun Palace of Lishan, his attitude is much more eager.

Laojun Hall was given as a royal ancestral hall by Tang Gaozu, and then invited many Taoist sages to settle in, so it can be said to be famous in the entire Tang Dynasty, not to mention the extremely high status in the eyes of Taoist people.

Of course, Shang Qing is not invited by everyone, so many exotic people dressed in wealth and nobility appear together, obviously it will not be a simple character.

Moreover, since they are cultivators, there will naturally be cultivators among these people, even if they are only a few sporadic figures, the realm is not very high, but they can also perceive the number of cultivators among the people who come, and the realm is profound.

Even outsiders also need to make good connections, so there is this enthusiastic invitation initiative.

The other palace hosts on the mountain also had a similar mentality, and they all came to accompany each other, and after learning about Li Zhi's identity, they were all secretly happy.

Li Zhi was very generous, and casually gave a whole carriage of rice paper, which is a universal gift, and it is more high-end, atmospheric and high-grade than the silver two.

A few catties of tribute tea were dedicated, making the atmosphere harmonious and harmonious.

"The poor monk knows Mr. Li's name!" This is what another observer said.

Others inquired one after another, and after learning about Li Zhi's series of identities, the look of admiration in their eyes was even worse.

Li Zhi smiled indifferently: "I'm not the focus of this trip, they are our honored guests of the entire Datang!" ”

The status of Mahdi and others is more and more noble than that of Li Zhi, and even ordinary people know what it means for the two superpowers to establish such friendly exchanges.

Therefore, the main content of the exchange always reflects the respect of Taoism for the Muslim sect.

Moreover, these Taoists obviously attach great importance to etiquette, and almost every few guests have someone to accompany them, and strive not to snub anyone.

It seems that the team of more than 100 guests is huge, of which less than half are members of the Arab royal family and their families, and more than half are entourages and translators.

Therefore, in terms of language communication, there are not many obstacles, and there are many female Taoists on Siming Mountain.

The beauty of the famous places of Siming Mountain and the extraordinary origin of each make foreign guests more curious.

Siming Mountain alone has a height of more than 300 zhang on Mount Everest, and there are too many places worth seeing.

Knowing that if there is a delay here, the itinerary will be missed, but fortunately, there is a welcome building built by various Taoist temples on this mountain, which is to accommodate some dignitaries and nobles from afar.

It happened to be used as a place to stay that night, and after Li Zhi discussed with Mahdi and Adan, he decided to rush back to Mingzhou City before dark tomorrow.

In this atmosphere of heavy albums, exchanges are also increasing

The deeper he got, by chance, Li Zhi got a piece of news that surprised him.

This is the Siming Cave, there is a very strange and peculiar temperate plant: the mountain fern, a delicacy that dinosaurs loved to eat in ancient legends.

The reason why it is strange is that these plants have always grown only in the far north of Siberia, which is a place where the coldest weather can reach minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius.

The ancient text of the ancient B.C. cortical book once said: "There is indisputable ice on the left and right of the North Pole", which refers to the location of Siberia.

Going deep into the bottom of the mountain hinterland up to more than 200 zhang Siming Cave, there are such strange plants that theoretically cannot grow on Siming Mountain.

Ferns are an ancient higher plant, once the main food of the dinosaurs, and later as the temperature rises, most of these temperate plants can not adapt to the hot summer temperature environment, and have become extinct.

In other words, we are familiar with the temperate plant Northeast ginseng, which is afraid of the hot summer heat, but can adapt to the cold and freezing in winter.

If ginseng is transplanted from Northeast China to Ningbo for cultivation, when the high summer temperature comes, the ginseng will quickly wilt and die.

The subtropical summer here in Minnesota is hot and hot, so it is difficult to see temperate plants in the subtropical areas under normal circumstances.

Ferns date back more than 2 million to 20,000 years, and the earth was in the last glacial age, the Quaternary glaciation.

The reason why the mountain fern appeared here can only be understood as although there were no glaciers in the area of Siming Mountain in Mingzhou, the climatic conditions at that time were very similar to those in the current Northeast or North China.

There are some spores of the mountain fern, which fall in this Siming Mountain cave to grow and reproduce, year after year, from generation to generation for 20,000 years, this cave has become the last "refuge" of the ancient mountain fern in Siming Mountain.

Li Zhi is particularly interested in this, and although the mountain fern is not as difficult to find as the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, it has a similar detoxifying effect.

In the alchemy given to him by Sun Simiao, there is a body shaping pill, which not only has the effect of partially prolonging the vitality of the body, but more importantly, it also has the function of physical body transformation.

Even the lowest level of the first-grade Body Shaping Pill can transform an ordinary physique into a superior physique with cultivation qualifications.

According to the alchemy mark, the quality of the elixir above the sixth grade of the body shaping pill has been able to make the body of ordinary immortals cultivate immortal true qi to bless their own immortal yuan.

Immortal True Qi can ensure that the future attainment of absolute transcendence of the body of life and death, and the person who is truly detached from the Dao will have the Immortal True Qi in the body as the foundation of his initiation, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the Dao body.

Of course, in alchemy, the main thing about this body-shaping pill is not called a mountain fern, but an eternal root.

It was precisely because Li Zhi was curious that he carefully inquired about the color and form of the mountain fern.

Its leaves are as slender as willow leaves, green in color, with golden wheat spikes, and a unique appearance of coffee-colored sporangia groups on the back of the leaves, which is the exclusive feature of long-lasting roots.

The acquisition of this kind of news made Li Zhi overjoyed, but he covered it up very well.

Under the pretext that alchemy needed some medicine, it was easy for Shang Qing to accept it with a generous smile, and promised Li Zhi how much he needed to pick it, that thing was clinging to the stone cracks, as small as a stolon, lying flat on the ground, spreading everywhere.

The locals don't know what it's used for, and it grows in the deepest part of the Siming Cave, where it's as cold as the depths of the ice, and the cold air in it is like a sharp edge, and few people go deep into it. (https:)
