Chapter 24: A Paradise

This kind of fruit forest maple knows, there is it in Qujia Village, hometown, and the villagers call it soft jujube, black jujube, which is not astringent and cannot be eaten like persimmon, but after a few frosts, it becomes soft and glutinous and sweet.

Lin Feng remembered that when he was a child, he always climbed to the tall soft jujube village in the south of the village when the frost fell, and used thin bamboo poles to lay down the fruits one by one. After returning home, my mother steamed the washed soft jujubes with rock sugar, kneaded them by hand, scraped them flat on clean rice paper and dried them, and then rolled them up together to form a healthy and delicious soft jujube fruit peel, which became the main snack for their three children for a period of time.

"Mr. Lin let's go," Master Wuyin's words interrupted Lin Feng's memories.

The two of them continued to walk along the field path, which obviously belonged to the southern climate, except for the soft jujube trees that they had seen in the north and south just now, the others were some oranges, lychees, longans and other common fruit trees in the south.

After a few miles, the sky was getting brighter, and the fields were already full of peasants who had begun to work. Most of these peasants are wearing earthy yellow or light gray robes, with very wide sleeves, but the cuffs are very tight, which is obviously the costume of the Qin and Han dynasties in the TV series, Lin Feng's heart tightened: Is this a crossing?

"Amitabha, may I ask the donor where this is?" Just as Lin Feng was thinking about it, Master Wuyin had already taken the lead in inquiring.

"Who are you, the reinforcements that the Mirage has invited?"

The peasant looked surprised but asked back, Lin Feng couldn't help himself, "Didn't you travel to the Qin Dynasty, why don't you speak Shaanxi?" He took it for granted that since Qin was in Xianyang, then the Qin people should speak Western Shaanxi dialect.

"Uncle, we are not reinforcements, we are looking for the whereabouts of our companions and unconsciously entered here, have you seen my companions? Dozens of people. Lin Feng rushed ahead of Master Wuyin to answer questions to the peasants.

When the peasants mentioned the mirage king before, Lin Feng thought that this place might have something to do with the old mirage of Xiaozhu Mountain, and he had this conjecture when he saw the appearance of the city from the outside.

"I haven't seen your companion with my own eyes, but I said that a group of cross-dressed men and women were caught by King Fu's people in Mirage City with various magic weapons, and then I heard that they were let go, I don't know if they are your companions."

The farmer was very polite to Lin Feng, but he looked a little surprised at Master Wuyuan.

Lin Feng remembered that he had read a historical allusion: in the Qin Dynasty, shaving his hair was a punishment, called the punishment of the prisoner, which was specially designed to humiliate the prisoner.

Buddhism was transmitted from Tianzhu to China in the Jin Dynasty, and the Qin and Han people did not know monks at all, so it is not surprising that the peasants were surprised by Master Wuyuan.

"Uncle, you haven't told us where this is, who is respected, and what's wrong with your arm?" Lin Feng asked three questions in one breath.

The farmer touched his stiff left arm and said with a sad face, "They came to catch Xiaolian, I can't bear it, Xiaolian is only fourteen years old, I blocked them from touching Xiaolian, they discounted my arm and kidnapped Xiaolian, these people." ”

"Uncle, why don't you heal your arm and work again, you won't be able to work with this arm in the future." With Lin Feng's medical skills, he knew very well about the old farmer's injuries.

"There's no way, those dog minions don't allow the infirmary to treat my injuries, and it doesn't work if I apply some herbs indiscriminately." The peasants were outraged.

"Uncle, I'm a Langzhong, can I show you?" As he spoke, he grabbed the farmer's injured arm, and the aura of the loser first stopped the pain for him, and the farmer was stunned, and immediately realized that he had met the master, so he didn't struggle anymore, and looked at Lin Feng calmly, his eyes were full of expectation.

Lin Feng tore open the tight and narrow cuffs of the farmer's cuffs, and rolled the sleeves to his big arm, the farmer's arm was broken and dislocated, and his arm was swollen and thick, which was very terrifying. Lin Feng continued to infuse the aura to help it reduce swelling and dissolve stasis, and only finished when the swelling was not too obvious. Take out the four bone needles and infuse them with aura, then stick them in the injured area, and then pour the wood aura on the four bone needles in turn, the wood has the ability to regenerate, and the farmer's arm can quickly recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The farmer was very clever, and after recovering from his injuries, he "pounced" and fell to his knees, "Benefactor, help me save Xiaolian, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you." ”

Lin Feng helped the farmer up, "Uncle, tell us about the situation here, let's see if we can help you?" ”

"This is not the place to talk, let's go over there," said the old farmer, pointing to the banana plantation not far away. There is a grass shed in the banana orchard, covered with mountain grass, and the surrounding area is ventilated and very cool.

The peasant found a wooden stool for them, and went to pick some ripe bananas for them, and they did not eat all night, so they did not eat politely. I don't know if it's because of the variety or because it's naturally ripe, this banana is small but extremely delicious, several times sweeter than the one I've eaten before.

If you don't know about the farmers, the strange scenery of flowers and fruits in front of you really makes people feel that this is a fairyland on earth, a paradise.

"This city is called Mirage City, and there is another one called Fuwang City eight hundred miles to the east." Taking advantage of Lin Feng's time when they were eating bananas, the peasants told the story, "From the distance, our ancestors were from Daqin, and the winning government sent King Fu to find the elixir of immortality for him, when King Fu took eight thousand boys and girls and a large number of skilled craftsmen to Penglai to seek immortals, and when he arrived, he found that there was nothing but a big clam, and the big clam told him that there was a place where he could find the elixir of immortality. ”

After thinking for a while, the peasant said, "The fleet of King Fu followed the old mirage to the south, and then went up the Yangtze River to this place on the Maoren Mountain. King Fu and King Mirage don't know what agreement to reach, King Mirage lives in this city, King Fu lives in the east one, after eight thousand boys and women grow up, King Fu will let them marry, my ancestors are also listed, surnamed Zhou. ”

"During this period, the Mirage took King Fu to a cave to practice, and the breath in the cave was abnormal, and ordinary people lost their memories a few days after entering, as if they were crazy, or lost their teeth and hair. However, King Fu practiced immortality, and his appearance stayed at the age of forty.

"Hundreds of years later, the population multiplied, and the Fu and Mirage kings also became kings, and the misfortunes of the people began.

Although King Fu has an immortal body, but lost the ability to reproduce, married a few queens and failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter, for this reason King Fu every spring and autumn to select a group of women over the age of 14 into the palace as concubines, these women if they have no heirs, King Fu will give them to the mirage for food.

A few years ago, the Mirage King and the Fu King had a fight for some reason, and as a result, the Mirage King was defeated by the Fu King and left the secret gate.

A few days ago, her daughter Xiaolian had just turned fourteen years old, and the servants of the government found it from the household register, and when they saw Xiaolian's beauty, they captured her and prepared to sacrifice it to King Fu.

Hearing the words of the peasants, Lin Feng and Wuyin exchanged glances with each other, and it seemed that both of them understood that King Fu must be the Xu Fu who was sent by Qin Shi Huang to find the elixir of immortality.

In the past, there were legends that he took people to the Wa Kingdom, and some people said that he had been buried in the sea, who would have thought that he would be able to come here.

Xu Fu was a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty, and according to legend, he was a close disciple of Guiguzi, proficient in astronomy, medicine, navigation, etc., and people with such brains dominated one side, and the difficulty of dealing with it can be imagined.

And the escaped mirage must be the mirage he blew up in the air-raid shelter of Xiaozhu Mountain, and the time is also right, no wonder the master of Wuyin only heard him describe the appearance of Naedan and concluded that the two of them could not defeat the mirage together, and he was really lucky to blow up the mirage himself.

The two promised to help the peasants rescue Xiaolian, so they said goodbye and left, Lin Feng and they were going to go directly to Fuwang City, which was still hundreds of miles away from Fuwang City, they decided to use magic to go and make an appointment to meet at the south gate of Fuwang City.

After pinching his fingers three times and chanting the mantra, Lin Feng had already appeared at the south gate of Fuwang City, and after a breath, Master Wuyin also appeared out of thin air.

The south gate of Fuwang City is magnificent, magnificent, all made of blue-gray bricks, composed of three parts: the gate tower, the arrow tower, and the main building, and each city tower is guarded by dozens of soldiers with guns.

At this time, the drawbridge has been placed on the other side of the moat, and it is already half an hour, and the pedestrians on the drawbridge are already in an endless stream, although the guards of the main city do not check the pedestrians one by one, but they also keep an eye on every pedestrian.

"Master, I'm afraid that if we can't get to the city, we will be known by Xu Fu." Lin Feng reminded Master Wucause.

"Well, we're going to have to change our outfits......"
