Chapter 053: Treasure Gourd

Time is like an arrow, the black flying rabbit goes, the cold comes and the summer comes, and it ...... Five or six months have passed, and it is not known whether it will be five months or six months.

In the treacherous deep mountains, the high and steep peaks emerge from the deep ancient forests with smoke and greenery, piercing the fog and clouds, and the walls stand thousands of miles, like a giant stone sword with a handle pointing to the sky, and like a giant tower that reaches the sky and reaches the clouds, the momentum is high, and the difficulty of flying birds.

"Boom Rumble......

On the suspended plank road built along the cliff, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, deer carts, and even divine carriages, etc., all kinds of vehicles slowly drive by, endlessly, and it is really a busy road over the mountain.

In addition to large and small vehicles, knights on horseback, and hikers are also seen from time to time, but almost all of them are warriors in groups of three or five, traveling together, many of them are holding eagles and dogs, with protective pets, and are always vigilant.

Not far away, an isolated peak is covered with turquoise vines, and at a glance, it looks like a green waterfall falling from the sky, and it is terrifying to see.

On the suspended plank road more than two cars wide, a large convoy of more than 20 vehicles drove slowly. Among them, an elongated six-wheeled chariot is the most eye-catching, pulled by four pure white bighorn deer, and there are knights guarding the front and back of the car.

There is a purple flag hanging on the front of the car, and a white magnolia flower is painted on the flag, indicating that this is a relative of the Zixing clan, and the frame of the Magnolia Bai clan is extraordinary.

In the car, two men, one woman and three children, face to face, rushed to the car window, looking at the peerless and independent blue peak, all eyes were full of eyes, small mouths wide open, deeply attracted by the magnificent scenery.

Although the three children did not have purple hair, they had purple eyes, and the six eyes were lined up like six purple stars, which proved that they did have the blood of the purple clan in their bodies, but they were just distant side veins.

In the middle is obviously her sister, and on the left and right are her younger brothers. My sister blinked her beautiful eyes and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: "What a beautiful mountain......

"Hmmm......"

The two younger brothers nodded in unison and echoed.

"Mom, what's that mountain called?"

The girl asked without looking back, lest her two younger brothers rob her of the best viewing position.

"You girl, you don't study well, you don't even know the famous Yunlou Sanshan......"

On the fragrant wood recliner, a lazy beautiful woman in light clothes held a book in her hand, and while flipping through it, she said softly: "That mountain is called Bixiao Mountain, also known as Xianyuan Peak, with a mountain of old vines, and it is like a green waterfall flying into the sky from a distance, which is one of the most commendable beautiful scenery on the Yunzhan Mountain Road." ”

"Immortal Peak...... What a beautiful name, what must be the meaning of such a name?" asked the girl again.

The woman smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, of course." Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the goddess Qingmang flew to Yunlou Mountain, attracted by the beautiful scenery of the mountains, and stopped to look greedily. As she left, a small piece of her long garment was caught in the mountain and ripped off. After that, after three or five years of rain and wind, this piece of fragments was loosened, turned into a piece of green silk, pierced into the foothills, and gave birth to many young shoots, and after more than 100 years, it grew into the green vine of this mountain, like a hanging clothes. Therefore, Bixiao Mountain is also known as the Immortal Peak. ”

"Wow!"

The three children were all in amazement.

"Mommy, Mommy, can we go up to that hill and have a look?" asked a boy.

"Silly boy, it's really whimsical, you can't even go to that mountain, let alone you weak little guys.

"Mom, are there grapes growing on the vines? The vines are so big, and the grapes must be very big, maybe bigger than a watermelon!" the other boy asked, not to be outdone, salivating.

"Grapes?"

The beautiful woman laughed dumbly, "You gluttonous boy, you really think! Where are the grapes? And the grapes with the size of a watermelon?"

"If you don't have grapes, what?" asked the girl, curiously.

When the beautiful woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, put down the book, seemed to be touched by a word, and after a while, she muttered: "Mom, when you were so old, your grandfather once told me that the old vine tree of Xianyuan Peak is a rare 100,000-year-old spiritual root, which blooms once in a hundred years, bears fruit once in a hundred years, and can only ripen in another hundred years." The fruit that has grown in three hundred years is less than a hundred, and if you can get one, it will definitely be regarded as a treasure with no price......"

When the children heard this, they didn't care to look up the mountain, but they scrambled to turn around and gathered around their mother, and the elder sister took the lead in asking, "What does that fruit look like?

"Can we go pick a few?"

"That fruit must be delicious!"

The two younger brothers also followed suit, and the huge carriage became lively for a while.

As soon as the beautiful woman spoke, the three children closed their mouths one after another, only to listen to her narration in an inexplicable tone, "I remember that at that time, I was as ignorant as you, and as soon as I knew that there was such a miraculous fruit in the world, I cried and made a fuss, pestering my father to get one. As a result, your grandfather really couldn't help it, so he asked a craftsman to make one for me with the finest jadeite, and I still wear it with me!"

"Oh, the jade gourd you wore around your neck?" the girl was the first to react.

The beautiful woman answered, and took out a delicate turquoise pendant from her neck, which was a jade gourd the size of a thumb.

"But it's just an ordinary pendant, not a fruit!" said one of the boys.

"Mommy is so easy to deceive ......," the other boy said crookedly.

As for the girl, she leaned over to her mother's chest and looked at it intently, "Is that fruit a gourd?"

The beautiful woman was laughed at by her two sons, her face was a little unbearable, she was angry and funny, and reprimanded: "Two little rabbit cubs, what nonsense? Old lady, I can give birth to a few of you smart seeds, how can it be easy to deceive? When I was young, I wanted to pick a real gourd, but no matter how hard I tried, every time I passed by the Yunzhan Mountain Road, I could only look at the mountain and sigh. Mo said that Yunlou Mountain strictly forbade the human race to enter and exit, and there was also a kind of monkey spirit species called Brewing Ape inhabited on the Immortal Roof, which was very fierce, even the martial artists who broke the martial realm did not dare to provoke. Before I gave birth to you, I still had thoughts in my heart, and since I became a mother, I can't even think about it. ”

At this moment, the curtain on the other side of the car was lifted, and a young man riding a tall horse looked excited, and said to the car: "Feiyunpu is in front, do you want to experience the feeling of stepping on a horse and flying clouds?"

As soon as these words came out, the ears of the two boys were pricked up, and they did not need to answer at all, and without hesitation, they jumped out of the car and were caught on the back of the horse by two men, one long and one young.

"Xuan'er, why don't you go?"

The beautiful woman said as she looked at her daughter who was snuggled up to her.

The girl stuffed the jade gourd back into her mother's chest, turned around and leaned back on the car window, watched from a distance, and said softly, "I want to see that mountain again......"

......

The people in the car are looking at the mountain, but they don't know that there are also people in the car on the mountain.

At this moment, among the dense vines on the Immortal Peak, Lynch climbed a thick rattan with a bowl mouth to rest, condescendingly, and the scenery on the Yunzhan Mountain Road was unobstructed, including the Yulan Bai clan's convoy.

Xiao Qi crouched on his shoulder, and roared towards the surroundings in his enlarged form, and hundreds of white-headed and black-tailed monkeys howled at them, eager to jump up and attack.

This is the Yunlou Mountain in the depths of Canglong Mountain, which should belong to the place where people are extinct, but because of the existence of this "Yunzhan Mountain Road", you can see pedestrians and cars at all times.

As one of the dragon veins of the Xia Kingdom, Canglongling lies in the vast territory from east to west, and forms a natural barrier with the Qinghe River to cut off the north and south. In the long history, this land has been divided into north-south confrontations several times because of this barrier, with the north being the north and the south being the south.

Therefore, whenever the great unification is realized, in order to rule the whole territory strongly, the communication between the north and the south to the greatest extent has become a major issue that the rulers of all dynasties have paid attention to, and the Xia State is no exception.

Therefore, according to legend, Canglongling is the eldest son of the Wood Emperor Qingshen's favorite Cangxiu, originally a nine-clawed dragon, his tail is in the western plateau snowy region, and his mouth stretches into the Qinghe, just dividing the Xia country into half, and it is the most respected feng shui holy land of the Xia people.

In order to open up the north-south traffic, it is inevitable that the dragon pulse will move the earth, and the legend that angering the dragon will cause a shocking disaster has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The road to the mountains was sometimes built and sometimes destroyed, and the long-term division and wars were endless, which made the north-south passage a mess. Labor and wealth have led to man-made disasters, not to mention the suffering, and the mountains and forests have also suffered from misery.

After the establishment of Great Xia, Linghu Mou, a sage of the great world and a great country of a generation, served as the first prime minister of the country, and put forward the famous idea of "Canglong Eight Roads" in view of the problem of north-south transportation.

Through unremitting efforts, publicity, lobbying, persuasion, this idea has gradually been recognized by all walks of life, so, after the unimaginable arduous observation, field investigation, careful calculation, on the basis of many historical relics, the Xia Kingdom paid a huge price, before and after more than 60 years, built through the eight north-south passages through the Canglong Mountains, Yunzhan Mountain Road in the Yunlou Mountain area is one of the eight major passages.

Moreover, because the Yunzhan Mountain Road is a mountain plank road, the difficulty of building is extremely high, time-consuming and labor-intensive, the cost is high, it belongs to the top three of the "Canglong Eight Roads", tens of thousands of people die because of the construction of this road, and thousands of them fall to death directly.

After coming to Yunlou Mountain, in order to avoid trouble, Lynch has always been careful to avoid the Yunzhan Mountain Road, today he ventured to climb the Immortal Peak, and unexpectedly saw the long-lost human faces, especially when he saw those pairs of purple eyes, he couldn't help but think of the purple feather Fei who was far away in the summer capital, and felt very missful for a while.

The Magnolia Bai clan's convoy faded away and disappeared from view, and the howls of the monkeys became clear again, and he swung his terrifying dragon's tooth sword to disperse the monkeys and continue to climb higher.

These monkeys are called wine apes, but they are not ordinary monkeys, and they are clearly recorded in the "Record of Strange Beasts", but they are ancient alien species left over from ancient times.

As the name suggests, although the intelligence of the wine ape is far less than that of the human race, it has a unique wine-making technique that is difficult for humans to achieve, and can make a kind of wine called "monkey wine", which can be described as a wonderful flower among the beasts.

Lynch didn't come to steal wine and drink, but to pick a few legendary withered vine gourds. The story of the immortal gourd on the old vine of the Immortal Peak is just a legend for most people, but not for him, because he has seen the real withered vine treasure gourd.

Duke Lei's son Lei Heng's name is Lei Hulu, and because of this name, his mother Lei Qiutong once gave him a small gourd that was less than the size of a fist as a birthday gift, and he always carried it with him, and that small gourd was a real withered vine treasure gourd.

Although the brewing ape is very fierce, some strong male monkey leaders even have the ability to outperform him, but they have a high level of intelligence, and this advantage has become a weakness in front of Lynch, because he holds the dragon's tooth sword, the sword power is outward, and the evil aura is like weaving, and the monkeys are shouting in the distance, but once they are in the bone sword aura, they are simply scared and paralyzed.

In this way, in this fierce monkey lair, Lynch is like entering an invincible realm, and continues to climb up along the old vine, even if he encounters some amazing demon monkeys, he only scares them back with bone swords, and does not dare to hurt and anger them.

......

After a long time, Lynch climbed into a crude wooden shack and finally saw the withered vine gourd of his dreams. I saw a withered old vine across the shed, on which hung more than a dozen small gourds of different sizes, all of which were dark in color and unusual.

The group of monkeys that had been surrounding him did not follow, and in the depths of the wooden shed, more than a dozen monkeys taller than ordinary wine apes gathered together, staring at the uninvited human from afar.

At the head is an old monkey with a three-foot white beard, dressed in coarse linen clothes, holding a turquoise wooden staff, standing upright, like an old man, nine times out of ten is the monkey king. The monkeys behind it were fierce, all of them had become monsters, all armed with blades, most of them were high-level weapons, apparently snatched from human warriors.

Lynch's throat rolled, and the bone sword crossed in front of him, trying to take two steps forward. When the demon monkey was neutral, he couldn't hold back his anger and roared and wanted to pounce, but he was repelled by the old monkey and retracted unwillingly.

He was secretly happy in his heart, understanding that good things could be done, and it was not in vain, so he hurriedly stuffed the shrunken Xiaoqi into his arms and walked cautiously towards the withered vines.

Finally, he reached out and grabbed a small gourd carved like jade, and the demon monkeys were restless and roared and jumped one after another, but the old monkeys restrained them and did not attack.

Lynch's heart was a little calm, his wrist was forced, and he wanted to pick off the gourd, but the gourd stem was unexpectedly tough, and he couldn't pick it off with enough strength, and he suddenly changed color.

Seeing his embarrassment, the demon monkeys screamed one by one, as if they were laughing at him.

Lynch snorted lightly, reached out to his waist, slowly pulled out a crimson sword, and shook it violently, with a "buzz", a demonic red light erupted, and the curved sword body suddenly straightened, more than half a zhang long, trembling up and down, and the clear sound was endless, endless.

The sword roared sharply, piercing the eardrums, and the screams of the demon monkeys stopped abruptly, turning into a frightened low cry, and even the old monkey who was still frightened was startled.

That's right, this crimson sword is the demon sword that Lynch got from the snake cave half a year ago, with this sword, he dared to leave Lushan, go deep into Canglong Ridge, come to the treacherous Yunlou Mountain area, and even climb to the peak of Xianyuan, and grab treasures from the famous wine-making ape.

The demon sword was in his hand, and he couldn't take it seriously, so he easily cut off a small gourd, put it into his backpack, and then picked two more one after another. When he took the fourth, the old monkey's expression was extremely gloomy, and by the time he reached the fifth, he could no longer bear it anymore and roared angrily.

Insatiable people don't end well, Lynch has been wandering the mountains and forests for so many years, and he knows the truth of collecting when he sees it, and he didn't pick the sixth piece hard.

It was already an unexpected joy to be able to get the withered vine treasure gourd, and now I have five of them, which can be said to be a bumper harvest that I couldn't think of before, and if I am not satisfied, I really can't say it. Not to mention that once the Monkey King is angered, not to mention the chickens and eggs, even his life is in danger.
