Chapter 18 Centennial Crane Grass
Said tenderly: "Brother Ruoya, is your grandfather okay now?"
"Hey, when I was seven years old, he was gone......"
"Huh? Seven-year-old ...... "Tenderness was afraid of mentioning his sadness again, so she didn't ask more!"
"Girl, this cold jade mountain is cold to the bone, all year round, inaccessible, you are here alone, could it be that you have encountered something urgent?" Wakaya Road.
"I want to come to collect medicine, Brother Ruogu grew up in Hanyu Mountain, he must be very familiar with this place, there is fairy grass growing on this mountain?" Tenderness asked.
"Fairy grass, there are a lot of fairy grasses here, I don't know if the fairy grass that the girl said is famous?"
After listening to it tenderly, there was a burst of surprise in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Have you ever seen a thousand-year-old purple lingzhi, a hundred-year-old immortal crane grass, and a 10,000-year-old rhubarb essence?"
"Millennial Purple Lingzhi?"
"That's right, thousand-year-old purple lingzhi!"
"There are quite a few Lingzhi growing here, but I haven't seen a thousand-year-old Purple Lingzhi like you said......"
"What about the hundred-year-old crane grass and the 10,000-year-old rhubarb?"
"Hundred-year-old crane grass, I heard my grandfather say before his death, this kind of fairy grass is more common, most of them grow in the bluestone crevices in the southwest half of the mountainside, and their growth period is not too long, at most one or two hundred years......"
"Wow, one or two hundred years? Isn't that long? Tenderness asked in surprise!
"Haha, the fairy grass on Hanyu Mountain, it can grow for more than a thousand years, and these two hundred years are short, as for the 10,000-year-old rhubarb, it can only be encountered at the top of the thousand-year-old snow peak, and it will not grow in ordinary places!"
"Oh, you know a lot!"
"Always run on the road, that's natural!"
Wakaya asked, "Did the girl come to look for these three kinds of fairy grass?"
"Yes!" Tenderly replied.
"What is the girl looking for these fairy grasses?" Wakaya asked curiously.
"Healing ...... for My Father"
"Heal?"
"Well, my father was poisoned, and the ancient wood divine doctor said that only by finding these three kinds of fairy grass can the poison be detoxified!"
"Oh, that's ...... so" Ruoya thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry, girl, Ruoya will definitely help you, but whether you can really meet this vast mountain depends on luck!"
"There's Brother Raurogu!" Tender hands salute.
"You're welcome, let's go, I'll take you to find the hundred-year-old crane grass first!"
"Uh-huh......" tenderly smiled and nodded!
So, the two climbed up the cliff and ran all the way to the southwest!
"These hundred-year-old crane grass grows on the cliff, if you don't look carefully, you will never be able to find it, the front is too dangerous, girl, you are waiting for me here!" Wakaya said, fly and jump off the cliff!
"Wakaya, be careful!"
A breeze blows, rolling up pieces of dead leaves, on a huge cyan stone wall, there are countless red leaves stacked layer by layer, under the leaves, there seems to be a green light shining, the breeze together and ripples, Ruogu's eyes are bright, then a little feet, clothes fluttering, flying up a few feet in an instant, the upper body is lightly attached to the stone cliff, the right hand peels off the chaotic leaves to find, but sees a rhizome such as the thickness of an arm, the leaves such as the size of the blue plate fairy grass into the eyes, he hurriedly reached out to pick it, how do you know that the palm of the hand just touched the root and leaf, suddenly felt pierced by the silver needle in general pain, he pulled hard, I lifted it up by the roots, jumped lightly, and jumped off the stone wall, but I was relieved to see that the fairy grass was intact!
"Girl......"
Tenderness looked at the bottom of the cliff and saw Ruoya waving to her with fairy grass: "Girl, look, the fairy grass is here!"
"Wakaya, be careful!" Tenderness shouted!
"This crane grass is round in color, the root system has been purple, it is estimated that it has grown for more than a hundred years, I will hand you the fairy grass, you can take it!" Ruogu climbed along the cliff, held a crane grass in his hand, and tenderly saw that the crane grass was sparkling and delicate, and he was secretly happy, so he took it with both hands and said to him: "Ruogu, you come up quickly!"
"Girl, wait a minute, I'll pick some wild fruits!"
As soon as the voice fell, the person disappeared again.
Tenderly holding the crane grass, the eyes are shining!
Suddenly, there was a strange cry of "quack" from the cliff, a huge red bird flew from mid-air, a pair of big golden eyes reflected a pair of black eyes, opened its big mouth and flapped its wings at her, and looked at it tenderly, and couldn't help but be scared into a cold sweat, the red bird's golden long claws hooked the crane grass in her hand, and flew into the sky!
"Oh no, Crane Grass!" Tenderness didn't expect this red bird to be so powerful, so she said angrily: "Damn bird, return my fairy grass quickly!" At the same time, only listening to the sound of "Zheng", the Rui Yang sword on his back was already in his hand!
"I don't want to kill you, but you snatched my crane grass!" Tenderly said, he raised his sword...... "Girl, don't hurt it!" "Wakaya suddenly jumped off a cliff!
"Wakaya, the crane grass was snatched away by the birds!" Tenderness said!
"Don't hurt it!" Wakaya stepped forward to block her sword and said, "This is just an innocent bird, it is still a stranger to meet you for the first time, it must regard you as an enemy, wait for me to tame it slowly!" After that, he took out the bamboo flute from his arms and blew it gently, the flute sound came out slowly, and the red bird circled twice in the air, and suddenly slowly flew down on his chest, with a big mouth, the crane grass fell, and the red bird made a long cry and flew into the distance!
Seeing this, Tenderness said in amazement: "This bird can really understand the rhythm?"
Wakaya smiled: "Haha, this is nothing, it may be that I have been with the birds for a long time, but it has made them feel refreshed!"
Ruogu picked up the crane grass and said: "Actually, this is a very magical bird, legend has it that after their feathers are full, they will keep flying and flying, just to let the heavenly fire ignite their feathers on the South Flame Mountain, and then bring the fire back to the ancient country of Loulan and turn it into ashes in the Tianyi Mountain, so the people of Loulan call it a flamingo!"
"Flamingos?" Yes, flamingos, they have only one companion in their lives, they are in the same boat through thick and thin, life and death, and they are reborn after fire! ”
"This is really a divine bird!"
After listening to it tenderly, I couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for the flamingo, and then I was in awe of nature!
Like falling in the autumn water, like the sunset reflecting the blue sky......
Tenderly looking up, the flamingo galloped through the clouds again, drawing a graceful curve, adding a few autumn colors to the empty valley!
"Don't worry about it, girl, let it go!"
Ruoya held the crane grass in his hand and said: "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that this crane grass has a moving story: a long time ago, there lived a white-haired old man in the parrot island of Fangcao, the old man practiced medicine while cultivating immortals, one day, a big bird fell in front of the building, made a mournful chirp, the old man heard the sound and went out of the building, but saw a bleeding yellow crane, so the old man went to the mountains to pick a handful of herbs, and applied the crushed medicinal juice to the wound of the yellow crane, and soon the yellow crane's injury healed, and the next morning, Everyone saw the old man leaving leisurely on the yellow crane! Later, people called this old man an immortal, the building where he lived was called the Yellow Crane Tower, and the herbs for healing injuries were called Xianhe grass! ”
Looking into the distance tenderly, I listened to his delicate words...... Perhaps, in this world, no one has ever heard his story!
And about the beautiful legend of the crane grass, later generations have poems as evidence:
In the past, people have taken the yellow crane to go, the yellow crane tower is vacant here, the yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years! Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, grass and parrot island, where is the sunset township? The smoke on the river makes people sad!
