Chapter 5 Deep Mountain City

Spring goes and summer comes.

The green snake listened to Lin Yu do morning classes every day, and read him some basic cultivation methods, most of which were related to qi training.

Some will directly talk about how to practice qi, and some will talk about the problems that need to be paid attention to when practicing qi.

The former, Green Snake summarizes it as a formal textbook.

The latter, which Green Snake regards as an extracurricular tutoring material.

Following Lin Yu's morning class every day, the green snake entered a state of cultivation that was mysterious and mysterious.

The only change is that the air flow in the snake's body has become larger, and when it stops somewhere in the snake's body, it is like a cloud, the cloud and mist before is only the size of a fingernail, and now more than a month has passed, it has been the size of two fingers, and the progress is not unfast, the strange thing is that the snake's body has not become longer again, and he estimates that it may have to wait until the next molt to get longer again.

After all...... Green Snake felt that he was now out of the range of a normal snake.

Take molting as an example, snakes molt 3-4 times a year, and most reach about 10 times.

According to the normal understanding, after the spring, he had to molt his skin once, but he didn't.

For nine years, the number of molts he has been reducing every year, it used to be 4 times a year, then 3 times, and finally it became 1 time, the last molt was last autumn, and the last molt was the autumn of the previous year.

Also, it's playing in the water, normally, unless it's a water snake or a sea snake.

Normal bamboo leaf green, how many have you seen that you are thinking about playing in the water all day long?

Anyway, in order to make himself look normal, the green snake tried not to think about playing in the water.

He tried his best to suppress his impulses...... Even if you are a snake, you have to be a decent snake.

Never be a maverick, strange, nervous snake with strange behavior.

How so?

Because the human thinking of the previous life in the bones of the green snake is at work, he feels that being a snake and being a human are the same truth.

What human do you see, obviously with two feet, but they don't want to walk properly, but they think about lying on the ground like a snake all day long, wriggling and swimming.

In other words, have you ever seen a tiger that thinks about climbing a tree all day long, and a sow that thinks about going up a tree all day long?

Right?

Another change is the luck value of the lottery holder, which has reached the peak value of 90 one after another through the accumulation of these days.

Almost, as long as you pick a little more, you can draw lots again.

As for the natural supernatural ability to control the flow of water, Green Snake has also tried, and it has not changed with his change and growth.

……

Summer.

The cicada noise forest is quiet.

Lin Yu's grain was not grown, but the rice and noodles he brought were eaten.

Lin Yu took the green snake and went to the barbarian market more than ten miles away to buy some daily necessities such as rice, flour, oil, and salt.

After walking for more than ten miles and walking for a morning, I finally arrived at the bazaar inhabited by barbarians before noon.

Weng Wei Ancient Village.

Weng Wei, the meaning of the barbarian word 'cloudy mist'.

The scenery here is beautiful, hidden in the deep mountain clouds and mist of 100,000 mountains all the year round, the ancient village is surrounded by tea trees and wild flowers are in full bloom, the air seems to be filled with the fragrance of tea, the smoke rises, and occasionally the sound of chickens and dogs barking is heard. The ancient village house is a dry bar type wooden house, generally two floors, one floor captive chickens, ducks and livestock, sundries, and two floors of people.

Most of the time, the barbarians are the general name of the people in the Central Plains to the peoples in the marginal areas, and they call the grassland people living in the north 'Northern Barbarians', and the people living in the mountains in the southwest are called 'Southwest Barbarians'.

Among them, there are several different names for the northern barbarians, which are used to distinguish different races, such as 'Baishan barbarians', 'Heishui barbarians', and 'steppe tartars'; they also have many names for the southwest barbarians, which can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is 'Wuxi barbarians', which mostly refers to the southwestern ethnic groups living by the streams and rivers, and the other is the 'mountain barbarians', which can be understood literally, mostly referring to the southwestern peoples living in the mountains.

Weng Wei Ancient Village, is one of the mountain barbarians, the people who live here, called 'Wa Ding people'.

Wa Ding is an ancient word meaning 'one who dwells in the mountains'.

In front of the ancient village, there is a big banyan tree, which is very big and very big, covering the sky and the sun.

According to rumors, the Wa Ding people also have an ancient tradition of building a village, that is, before building a village, they must plant a banyan tree, and if the tree grows vigorously, then it means that a village can be built here.

Otherwise, choose another place.

Under the big banyan tree, there are old people, children, and foot merchants from the Central Plains, gathered in groups.

The Wa Ding people and the Central Plains foot merchants settled here, so another type of industry was also derived.

Unlike the tea and wine shops in the mountains of the Central Plains, the people here are relatively simple and the concepts are relatively backward. Some of the old people of the Wa Ding ethnic group will bring their children from home, bring a few bamboo stools from home, as well as simple tea, for people walking back and forth between the mountains and the Central Plains to rest, as long as a copper plate, not only can get a low stool, if thirsty, you can also come with a cup of herbal tea.

Sometimes, when you take a break and chat, you can unexpectedly negotiate a business.

The old man smokes dry cigarettes, the children run happily, the pedestrians rest, and the Kanda Mountain in the north and south of the world.

At this time, in front of the ancient village, it is such a picture.

The green snake wrapped around Lin Yu's arm, and the snake's head stopped on his shoulder, spitting out the snake letter, curiously capturing the customs of this world.

Walking into the ancient village, on the big trees on both sides of the road, or on the walls of thatched houses, you will see many cow skulls hanging, adding a touch of antiquity and mystery.

It is not uncommon for women in the village to pull yarn and weave cloth on the spot in front of their homes.

Occasionally, when he stopped, he picked up the dry tobacco that was placed next to him and smoked two puffs.

It turns out that Wa Ding women have a tradition of smoking, especially the elderly, and older women will be seen everywhere in the village, smoking big tobacco pouches.

Lin Yu found a few shops in the bazaar, all of which were home shops, integrating living and trading, simple and not cumbersome, but fortunately, most of them would speak a sentence or two of Zhongyuan dialect, which could meet the minimum communication. And the people here are straightforward, the people are simple, one is one and two is two, and the things that nod and promise will definitely be done, and they are very honest and trustworthy.

After buying good things, when I saw a woman on the other side, the store said that I could help deliver the goods.

The shopkeeper is a lady, with a big guy, it is her son, seeing that her son stared at the woman as soon as she entered the door, her eyes couldn't wait to stare out, she felt embarrassed, and slapped him angrily. The eldest lady shook her head, knowing exactly what her son was thinking, but looking at the woman's fine skin and tender flesh, she knew at a glance that she was not a capable worker, and she didn't look young.

Lin Yu hurriedly said no, picked up the things he bought with one hand, lifted the weight lightly, and walked out of the door.

The shopkeeper's aunt was dumbfounded, and regretted it a little, she should have let her son follow her to deliver the goods, this son is a capable worker......

On the way back, he met a stall of a Central Plains merchant, and Lin Yu stopped to look at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

The asking price of the Central Plains merchants is not low, more than twice as much as usual.

The simple Wa Ding people watched from the side, and hurriedly signaled Lin Yu not to buy it.

Lin Yu frowned: "Look at me as a weak woman, it's easy to bully, right?" ”

As he spoke, he shook the green snake wrapped around his arm, and lifted a bunch of things on his hand, which was obviously not light.

The Central Plains merchant sighed: "It's not a little girl who bullies you, the contemptible merchant pays attention to integrity, what is integrity?" It's never the same price, it's always the same price in previous years, no matter who buys it, they don't sit on the ground and start the price......"

"However, recently, in the Central Plains, seeing that the Dragon King had just received supernatural powers, there was a drought again, the imperial court was not effective in disaster relief, and the people were in turmoil."

"So...... This price is a little expensive, it is not easy to come out, and I hope the girl understands, all to beg for a living. ”

Lin Yu's face was cloudy, and he paid for it and bought a pair of four treasures of the study, that is, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a few miscellaneous books.

On the way back, Lin Yu was speechless all the way, his mind was dull, and he looked at the north several times with solemn eyebrows.
