Chapter 0006: A bowl of soup for two feet of Qiongyu
Compared with the finely carved mansions at the foot of the mountain, this courtyard in the forbidden land behind the Linglong Pavilion can be said to be quite simple, but it is expensive in all five organs, self-contained, and the scale is comparable to a small manor.
This back mountain has been artificially transformed, and the terrain is relatively flat and very wide. To the south, there are several flower beds and orchards, planted with herbs and vegetables and fruits, which can be seen to be carefully cared for;
More than a dozen old buildings that have been weathered for a long time are arranged at will, and are cleverly connected by verandahs and stone roads. The corners of the walls are covered with moss, and the verdant is eye-catching. The verandah and the road are very clean and decent, the painting walls and gardening are very exquisite, there is no dilapidated appearance, and the scenery of the mountains is integrated, which has a unique rural and pastoral flavor.
The rooster crowed to report the dawn, Si Mingqin really got up earlier than Muliu, walked around, walked around alone in the hazy skylight, and walked around Muliu's house.
When passing by the chicken coop, I saw that there was no one left and right, so I sneaked two eggs in my arms, and then found a broken clay pot among the gravel at the bottom of a mountain stream, scooped half a jar of water, threw the eggs into it, and directly used the real fire to boil, and sat on the stubborn stone by the stream to eat, bathed in the breeze and morning light, leisurely.
In this way, the breakfast was hastily solved, Si Mingqin was really comfortable, and burned the peeling eggshell into ashes with a real fire, which was blown away by the wind without a trace.
After that, he hummed the highland ballad and returned to the banyan tree, intending to climb up to the tree house to sleep, and found that Mu Liu had woken up.
This treehouse on the big banyan tree is the exclusive residence of the young master Linglong, which is really loved by Si Mingqin, who occupied a bed last night and refused to leave in the tree house.
The long-bearded dragon fairy had been stocked in a large tank, and Mu Liu was throwing some special fish food into it to feed the six golden fish.
Si Mingqin really stepped forward, approached the water tank, stretched his neck to take a look, and suddenly felt that breakfast was not finished, and he needed to add more.
"The beard of the Longbearded Dragon Immortal can be used as a substitute for Zhu Yu's beard, and it can be combined with the Black Lotus, the Heart of Thorns, the Fog Ridge Blood Vine, the Blue Flame Fire Berry, the Cold Mountain Silver Moon Elderberry and the bone powder of the Soul Beast, as well as the Light Dust and Void Salt, to make Soul Incense. The scales of the long-bearded dragon fairy can also be used in medicine, and I can also help you freeze them all. However, the fish does not have high medicinal value, and it is best used for cooking. ”
Si Mingqin really didn't give up the dream of eating a bite of the long-bearded dragon immortals, if it weren't for Mu Liu's close attention, and his own words first, I was afraid that he would have poisoned these long-bearded dragon immortals a long time ago.
Mu Liu thought about it, and seemed to be moved.
Si Mingqin really struck while the iron was hot, took Mu Liu's arm, and swore an oath: "In addition to teaching you spells, whatever other requirements you have, say it, and I will promise you everything." ”
Mu Liu held out a finger.
"You mean a cut of incense?"
Mu Liu nodded.
Si Mingqin was really stunned and speechless.
Mu Liu was not in a hurry to get Si Mingqin's true reply, and turned around to leave.
Si Mingqin really hooked Mu Liu and said, "It's too much, you should know that this thing doesn't mean that it exists, and I'm not an alchemy master." Moreover, even if Master Yuheng comes in person, he may not be able to handle it. ”
"Master Yuheng?"
"He is the former head of the Tongjiang Yu clan and one of the five old stars of Jinghu. Master Yuheng once visited Tiemu Cliff, and I met him once. ”
Yu Heng is a great power of the Dharma, this person studied pharmacy medicine in the first half of his life, and walked the world as a cloth-clothed pharmacist to save the dead and help the wounded. Later, he was obsessed with alchemy, pursuing the transformation of decay into magic, no longer limited to the medicine and medical skills, and forty percent of the incense that amazed the world in the last two or three hundred years was from him.
When it comes to refining soul incense, no one in this world can match it.
After explaining the identity of Master Yuheng, Si Mingqin Zhen proposed that Mu Liu change his key and reliable requirements.
Without thinking, Mu Liu stretched out two fingers.
Si Mingqin really glanced at him and said, "I don't understand what you want to do with Erchi Qiongyu, you don't even have a spirit array now, and it's useless to give you soul incense." Okay, I'll help you refine a dozen spiritual liquids first, and help you enlighten your spirit. ”
Mu Liu didn't say a word, and directly led Si Mingqin Zhen to a small house near the big banyan tree, pushed the door in. Tiemuya can be called a strong party, and Si Mingqin's true knowledge is naturally extraordinary, but as soon as he entered the door, he was dumbfounded.
There are a variety of natural treasures, but they are rare.
For example, the Zhima that refines the spiritual liquid, even if it is sealed in the transparent cold jade curling, it cannot prevent its spiritual energy from being exposed. Its appearance is intact, has roughly grown into the appearance of a small person, there are eyebrows and eyes, there are hands and feet, connected to the stem, the top of the leaves, crystal shine, just look at the appearance to know that it is the best for thousands of years, the gold is hard to find, and into the eye is seven plants. Coupled with a sufficient amount of five-color fossils, light dust and void salt, as well as the essence blood of soul beasts in glassware, it is completely possible to refine a large amount of spiritual liquid in this small house.
Si Mingqin really walked to the window and stared at a pot of Zhu Yu planted in the soil, three inches high, a total of fourteen plants.
This kind of green onion grass grows independently, the leaves are cylindrical, green jade, hollow and straight, very slender. Most of the blessings are waiting to be released, and the aura is contained, and it is surrounded by a colorful halo of light and darkness. Another four or five Zhu Yu top flowers like an umbrella, about the width of the palm of a newborn baby, layer upon layer of twenty-three small petals, stained with dewdrops, reflecting the sun, the color is blurred, constantly changing, the brake is good-looking.
These mature Zhuyu plants began to spin silk, volatile with an obsessive fragrance, swaying in the wind against the morning light, looking crumbling, as if they would break at any time.
Si Mingqin Zhen asked, "Are these things you brought out from the west?"
Mu Liu nodded in response, and then picked out a few delicate and small mutton fat white jade bottles from the shelves on the inside and threw them over. Si Mingqin Zhenhua caught them one by one with his divine thoughts, pulled out the cork, sniffed it roughly, his brows jumped, his eyes rolled again, and he immediately understood the meaning of Mu Liu, and couldn't help but blush, very embarrassed.
Because, the mutton fat white jade bottles suspended in front of him were filled with special spiritual liquid that could not be seen on the market, which was several grades higher than the quality of the spiritual liquid supplied by the Martial Spirit Palace.
"At the beginning of the year, when I went to Saixia to pay my grandfather's birthday, I heard my uncle talk about the wind and clouds in the river valley and mentioned Xining Linglong. Now it seems that this exquisite young master belongs to you. ”
Si Mingqin had already learned Mu Liu's identity, so he was surprised, and pretended to look Mu Liu up and down again, to show his admiration, and said: "With the ability of Linglong Pavilion, you, the young master of the family, even if you are named, a few bottles of high-grade spiritual liquid are not just reaching out. No wonder you have to cut off the incense when you exit, and when you come into this hut and look at your collection, I can figure it all out. With your net worth, if you think of the three inches of moonshine and eight taels of gold that those civilians can't get even if they are bankrupt, in your eyes, they are all goods that cannot be put on the table. ”
Si Mingqin really analyzed the Tao, and his words were old-fashioned.
Mu Liu listened patiently, but he was noncommittal, making it really difficult for Si Mingqin.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll exchange two feet of Qiongyu for a bowl of fish soup for you. But I'm empty-handed now, you have to prepare all the materials yourself, and I have a condition, I must use the beard of the long-bearded dragon fairy instead of Zhu Yu's beard into medicine. ”
Mu Liu smiled, turned around and left, and went straight to the banyan tree.
It was the first time that Si Mingqin really saw Mu Liu so eager, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment......
The Iron Hill Wasteland is also a northerly region in the north, and the dry and cold autumn wind has been raging on the wasteland early, with dead grass lodging, yellow sand surging, and the wind roaring through the mountains and sky, which has the potential to destroy the withering and decaying.
This is the first cold snap since the beginning of autumn this year, originating from the ancient cold land north of the Great Wall, which is extremely cold and very strong. The valley on the west side, especially the town of Xining, has been fortunate enough to avoid its edge and remain in the residual heat of late summer.
In the distance, a line of light riders appeared on the deserted ancient road, galloping in the wind and sand, all the way to the west.
Bypassing a few barren hills, these more than ten light horsemen in strong suits rushed to the leeward of Zhuyan to avoid the sand and dust, and the man led by him was dressed in military uniform, looking like a major general born in the northern courtyard of the empire.
The man looked westbound from afar, uncovered the bloodstained sand scarf, revealing a handsome but pale face.
Then dismount and untie the water bladder tied to the saddle and have a booze.
"If I knew this, Lao Tzu should have taken you to fly over on a heavenly horse. ”
He took the clairvoyant mirror from the hand of the deputy general, saw the city walls and buildings on the western horizon, and said weakly: "The front is the ancient city of Longyan, after entering the city, it is better to dress up, change the fast horse, and be sure to rush to Xining Town before dark." ”
The subordinates received the order in silence, and after a short rest, they rode their horses and whips again, and went straight to Longyan.
