"Brother, aren't we going to stop?"

Wanling looked at her brother curiously and asked.

From home, it has been more than half an hour, and everyone has been walking around the foot of the big mountains, but my brother still hasn't stopped to take a look at the verdant mountains on the side.

However, the physical strength of their group is very good, five mutated horses and two big dogs, naturally needless to say.

From the beginning to the present, how can there be any physical exhaustion?

It is estimated that after walking another hundred and eighty miles, he will not be tired.

"Don't stop, keep heading towards the big stone mountain with two side-by-side peaks over there."

Wang Qiang walked in front of the team to lead the way, and when he saw his sister asking, he said, "That stone mountain full of big bluestones is the highest mountain in the vicinity, called Phoenix Mountain." ”

"Wanling, you girls, you may not know, Chen Lin should know a little bit, that mountain with a height of more than a thousand meters, because there are many plane trees on the mountain, it is called Phoenix Mountain."

My three younger sisters have never had formal contact with other outsiders since they were young, nor have they gone to the village to play with their friends, so they have limited knowledge of the local customs of the tea city.

However, in the past six months, their knowledge and vision have increased rapidly, and they have also learned a lot of things.

But Phoenix Mountain, I haven't talked to them about it, I don't know if it's for sure.

Chen Lin is different.

The bus station was originally a place where people came and went a lot in the tea city, and Aunt Lin had a few sisters who had a good relationship with each other in the bus station.

When you often walk there, you will inevitably talk about a lot of things in the tea city.

Moreover, Huang Qixiu, a friend of Aunt Lin who Wang Qiang met once, looked like a big-mouthed woman, and she was the one who spoke straightforwardly.

Therefore, Chen Lin, who has lived with Aunt Lin since she was a child, has heard of Phoenix Mountain, and it is also very normal.

After all, Mom has a big-mouthed woman as a friend, and you don't want to hear some idle people's gossip.

"Well, Phoenix Mountain, I follow my mother and often go to Aunt Huang's house at our bus station as a guest, and I've heard of it a few times."

Chen Lin had really heard of Phoenix Mountain, after all, it was not very famous, and it was one of the very few mountains with plane trees in the tea city.

"Aunt Huang Qixiu said that the phoenix does not fall into the land of no treasure, and legend has it that there is a treasure in Phoenix Mountain."

Chen Lin said while moving forward steadily, "In our tea city, in the Song Dynasty, when the mountain king was prevalent, I heard that there was a bold mountain king. ”

"After he became the queen of Zhanshan, he directly established a country in the area of Chacheng and became the real emperor of the soil."

"However, he led his troops to fight very well, and directly defeated several nearby county seats, including Pingxian County, to which Chacheng belonged at the time, and raided all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he got a lot of treasures."

"At that time, Pingxian County was a government, and its jurisdiction included the tea city, with a radius of four or five hundred miles, and there were many corrupt officials at that time."

"He did not commit any offense against ordinary people, and he was very popular at the time, and even exempted the imperial grain tax that had been there for countless years."

"Therefore, the country established by this mountain king, who fought a lot of wars and won the hearts of the people, has lasted for decades!"

"It wasn't until after his death that the son who succeeded to the throne was not angry, and he was wiped out by the officers and soldiers sent by Yuecheng in a battle."

Chen Lin said this allusion, it is reasonable and well-founded, obviously her memory has been very good since she was a child, otherwise she would not remember it so clearly.

She paused, then continued, "Legend has it that after the victory of the officers and soldiers, they did not find many treasures, presumably hidden by the king of the mountain. ”

"According to rumors, the treasure land is in Phoenix Mountain."

"However, after nearly a thousand years, countless people have gone to explore, but they have not found where the treasure is hidden."

"After the Ming Dynasty, gradually, this rumor was talked about as a joke."

Chen Lin shook her head and said: "The hole may not be windy, if the rumors in history are true, and this earth emperor is also true, it is very likely that the treasure land exists." ”

"However, whether it is in Phoenix Mountain or not, it is not necessarily. It's been so long that a lot of things have become unsophisticated. ”

"I think so too." Wang Qiang said, "I heard that this real earth emperor broke ground to build a Taoist temple in Phoenix Mountain, which enshrines several Taoist immortals. ”

"As long as we get to Phoenix Mountain, if we can see the Taoist temple built on the mountainside, we can be sure that this earth emperor has really existed."

has the memory of later generations, but Wang Qiang knows that the Taoist temple is real, and the legend of the soil emperor is also true.

It's just that whether there is a treasure place or not is a mystery, and even in the memories of later generations, no one has ever found it.

However, since the legend of the Earth Emperor is true, there is a good chance that the treasure land is also true.

Hearing Chen Lin's words, Wanjun and her twin sister were immediately interested, and for a while, they surrounded Chen Lin's girl and chattered non-stop.

Phoenix Mountain is only about ten miles away from Dacha Mountain in a straight line.

Even if there are a lot of detours, the distance will not exceed fifteen miles.

Wang Qiang and his entourage, as well as the big horse and the big dog, are not ordinary people, so soon after, everyone came to the somewhat mysterious foot of Phoenix Mountain.

Everyone stopped and looked towards the rumored Phoenix Mountain.

I only saw this Phoenix Mountain, there are two peaks standing side by side on the mountainside, and the top is like a pair of twin big steamed buns, round and rolling.

This kind of mountain, somewhat magical, can be called the magic of nature.

Although its two peaks look very steep, the slope is very small down the mountainside, covering an area about two times the size of the Great Tea Mountain.

Descending from the mountainside, plane trees can be seen everywhere.

The plane tree here is a green tung tree, which is a real Chinese plane tree with a history of thousands of years.

It is very different from the plane trees that later generations said.

In myths and legends, the sacred tree where the phoenix inhabits is the green tung tree, which is one of the most famous trees in ancient China, and its reputation at that time was not under the sandalwood.

However, since the eighties of the twentieth century, a large number of alien species have invaded, and various foreign plane tree species have spread wildly in China.

Most of the people in the 21st century, more than ninety percent of the people, think that those foreign, tall and big plane trees are the plane trees in China.

Most people have forgotten that the native paulownia tree is the real sycamore tree in ancient myths and legends.

The bronze tree is not too tall, only about six or seven meters, and the whole tree, whether it is branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, bark, etc., has high medicinal value and is edible.

After the 21st century, the real wild green tung trees are rarely seen, and they have been almost completely destroyed by indiscriminate deforestation.

The same is true of the green tung trees growing in the Phoenix Mountain here in the tea city, after a few years, some people continue to buy at high prices, and finally completely disappear in the long river of history.

The tree has only a straight trunk with leaves in the shape of an open palm, but the fingers are a little larger.

It is verdant and one of the best greening trees in ancient times.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Qingtong tree was the most revered sacred tree among the people and officials, used for medicine, and could also treat many diseases.

"It's a pity."

Wang Qiang looked at the verdant plane trees everywhere in the mountain, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

These sacred trees that have been passed down in myths and legends for thousands of years in China will soon be submerged in the long river of history, which is little known and sad.

"Even if I saw these green tung trees, I didn't come in vain this time, and it was worth the ticket price."

A bright light flashed in Wang Qiang's eyes, and he said secretly.

He has decided to spend some time transplanting a large number of green tung trees to his big tea mountain to protect them, so that in the future, this wild sacred tree will be completely submerged by the torrent of the times and will never be seen again in the tea city.

There are a lot of artificially planted paulownia trees in later generations.

However, as with many artificially cultivated plants.

Artificially planted paulownia trees, in all aspects, simply cannot be compared to wild paulownia trees.
