258. Into the forest
Su Huo instructed a few words, and agreed, so I took Qiu Jin, and Xuanyuan Chen and others rode horses out of the barracks, fought horses all the way, and soon went to the official road.
When we arrived at a junction, Xuanyuan Chen took the lead and entered a dense forest, we changed our clothes and changed our appearance, and then we went to the junction of the three kingdoms.
Three days of speed, clear the stacking card and do not mention, on the fourth day, this is the primeval forest.
Between the pictures, thousands of miles under the feet.
Although I had a foreknowledge in my heart, standing at the foot of this primeval forest, I really understood what it meant to stretch for hundreds of miles and what it meant to be majestic.
The Jicheng Mountain Range is also steep, and the dark forest ground of Jige Mountain is also wide, but compared with the primeval forest in front of you, it is simply a small thing.
Because it is the junction of the three kingdoms, the climate here is slightly warm, the trees at the foot of the mountain have sprouts and spit green, the ground is full of tender grass, and I have seen more of the winter snow of Xiqi.
However, the more eye-catching something is, the more dangerous it is.
On the way here, I also studied it carefully.
This primeval forest, although several countries border, but for many years no one dares to go more than that, because in addition to this mountain forest not only covers a huge area, but also has a terrifying name: ghosts see sorrow.
The ghosts are all worried, and the danger is dangerous, so naturally there is no need to mention it.
"Master, shall we go into the mountain?" Qiu Jin Lema stood next to me, looking ahead. There were seven or eight men standing there, dressed differently and with different weapons, studying how to go up the mountain, and at first glance they had come to look for treasure.
I already had a route marking, so naturally I didn't want to go with others, and seeing that a few people over there were looking at us frequently, as if they wanted to be with us, I immediately pulled the horse's head and told everyone to praise and rest, and wait until there was no one, and then go up the mountain separately.
After a few days of traveling, I was tired, and I leaned against an old tree trunk.
"Drink some water." Xuanyuan Chen approached, unscrewed the lid of the cowhide water bag and handed it to me. After I took a sip, I handed over the cooked beef.
I shook my head and signaled no, bent my lips and smiled, and took out a small bag at the placket of my heart, and quickly took out a small bag, opened the outer paper bag rarely, and came over to ask me, "Little girl, take a look, what color do you like." ”
I looked at it, and I couldn't laugh or cry immediately.
In the paper bag, there were several colorful candies, with a green bird pattern, a yellow tiger, in short, a dazzling color.
This thing is obviously for a three-year-old child to eat, and he actually brought it to me......
I was already in time last year! Why does he still treat me like a child......
"What do you think, pick one, if you don't pick it, I'll pick it for you. Well, just this little blue fish, this one is the most beautiful. He picked up the candy and stuffed it straight into my mouth.
The candy is not big, and it has a mint taste, but it is very refreshing.
Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, wrapped the candy carefully, and put it back in his arms.
The group of people had already entered the mountain, so I took out the insect repellent pill that I had prepared in advance and gave it to everyone, and brought some necessary items, so that Xuanyuan Chen took the compass to set the direction, leaving one person to watch the horse, which was about to go to the mountains and forests, and far away, there was another team of people and horses galloping.
There were ten people in that team, all of whom were wearing the unique broad clothes of southern Xinjiang, and the man led by him was wearing an orange sleeved robe, with broken braids and bright eyebrows.
This person is a former friend, and now his old enemy, the little king of southern Xinjiang, Tuoba Qing.
"It's him, he's here." Behind him, Ming Qi said lightly.
I winced.
The matter of the treasure has long been rumored, and he naturally came for this.
Xi Qi seized his two cities, and there was no grain storage in either city, so he was afraid that he was also paying attention to subsidizing military salaries......
This kung fu, Tuoba Qing's horse team has approached.
Farewell to the north, everyone is not yesterday, this time the two of us are here for the treasure, or don't meet.
I pretended to turn around, Xuanyuan Chen also bowed his head, and he was in a hurry, he didn't care about us, so he rode his horse past the side, and after walking a long distance, he dismounted and stopped, and found a junction to enter the mountain.
At this time, it was almost noon, and we were afraid that we would miss the trip, so we also went to the dense forest in the mountains.
This mountain is not steep at the beginning, in addition to the ground tender grass just sprouts, walking shallow, full of green grass fragrance, pleasant very.
We walked all the way up the mountain, and after walking for more than two hours, the trees began to thicken, and the grass became thicker, so Xuanyuan Chen asked everyone to cut down thick branches and walk while fluttering. One is afraid of poisonous insects, and the other is afraid that there will be unexpected traps.
In this way, after walking for nearly two hours, the branches of the trees in the forest began to flourish, and large banana leaves were layered on top of each other, covering the road tightly, and I was afraid of touching things like man-eating flowers, so I ordered everyone to walk side by side with weapons in pairs.
Although this section of the road was taken carefully, it did not encounter any danger. But the more this is the case, the more cautious it should be, and after another hour of caution, the sky is dark, and after the scorched leaf forest, there is a very open wide land in front of it.
Following the route on the map, we need to go all the way east, passing through two turns.
The road ahead, unobstructed, the ground is less than an inch of turquoise fine soft velvet grass, at most tea kung fu can be passed, but for some reason, I just have a hunch, this wide land, not simple!
Xuanyuan Chen took two steps forward, squatted down to look at the Rong grass carefully, and after looking at it for a while, he turned around and picked up a fallen branch on the ground, and carefully touched the turquoise Rong grass on the ground......
After poking twice, he reached forward again, scraped and picked, and an inch-long turquoise linear insect curled up and writhed on the branch.
And on the green grass on the ground, a hint of brown appeared......
I'll just say, how can the lawn be so green and symmetrical, it turns out that it is covered with so many green insects.
"This thing is disgusting." Qiu Jin frowned beside him.
I already hated these snakes, insects, and plague, and I instinctively rejected this strangely colored mollusk, even if I took half a step back.
Xuanyuan Chen saw it sideways, and threw the tree away.
There are insects under my feet, although I can't see anything strange about this insect for the time being, but if I step on them, I'm afraid I'll vomit directly. After thinking about it, he pointed to the side, "There's a path over there, let's go through it." ”
None of us wanted to walk on the soft insects, so in response, the group turned around and walked in the direction of the path.
It's a smooth dirt road, half a meter wide, with small wildflowers on both sides, and it looks fairly safe, and it should have been stepped on by humans. It seems that many people have found the bug.
After a cup of tea, we have successfully bypassed the cordyceps field, used the compass to find a good direction, and returned to the original route.
After walking for about a pillar of incense, it was already completely dark. There is no moon today, the mountains are pitch black, I am afraid of encountering any danger, and I dare not go any further, this unloaded the simple tent on my back, found a sheltered place to set up, and lit a bonfire in front of the tent to repel insects and animals, and divided a group of 20 people into three groups, taking turns to rest on the sentry.
The mountains at night are very quiet, occasionally a few birds chirp, Xuanyuan Chen is guarding at my tent, so that I am very relieved, just sleepy, box eyes for a while, just sleep.
This night, nothing happened.
Early the next morning, everyone simply replenished, collected the brief account, and continued to set off.
The further you go, the higher the trees on the side, the denser the foliage, the layers of leaves cover the top of the head, the sun can't shine in, and it happens that there is no wind today, and there is always an indescribable smell of rot between breaths.
"Everyone be careful, cover your mouth with a cotton handkerchief, and try to breathe as little as possible."
I was really afraid of encountering the situation of phantom smoke, so I hurriedly asked loudly.
And when they answered, they covered their mouths and noses.
After a while, the ground began to appear rotting withered bamboo leaves, and the further you went, the thicker the rotten leaves became, and sometimes when you stepped down, half of your shoes sank into the side, and the strange smell became stronger.
Even so, I was much more relieved that there were dead leaves on the ground, which at least proved that the strange smell of the forest was just rotting, and it was not strange.
"Ahh
Thinking about this, someone suddenly shouted behind me, I was shocked, thinking that something had happened, only to find that the person had just fallen, and I was relieved just now
