Chapter Ninety-Four: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
However, after seeing Yanzhi Mountain with his own eyes, Lin Fengjin really had to admit that it was quite difficult to go up the mountain, before he was confused by the description of "the fifth peak of Yanzhi Mountain, there is a pool at the top of the peak" in the intelligence, you imagine that a steep mountain has at least five peaks, and there is a heavenly pond on the peak, so it naturally makes people think of mountains and the like that that stretches for hundreds of miles.
However, the cruel reality is that although Yanzhi Mountain has the word "mountain" in its name, it is an exaggerated name for the conventions of ethnic minorities, as if a small lake will be called "XX Sea".
To be precise, although this Yanzhi Mountain stretches continuously, its height will never exceed 300 meters, and the amplitude of the hillside is quite gentle, even horses can climb along the amplitude of the hillside. And the Yanzhi Mountains are surrounded by a large grassland with a flat river, and you can understand it as several hills connected together on the grassland. Not to mention its size, it is equivalent to a dozen football fields
And the vegetation on the mountain is rarely any towering trees, that is, some shrubs, elms, poplars and the like, but the vegetation is really lush, the queen mobilized at least one or two thousand cavalry regiments to surround Yanzhi Mountain, the end is impassable, the people below can be said to be clear at a glance, no wonder the unlucky egg can be caught when he goes up to collect firewood.
The most important thing is that Lin Fengjin has carefully analyzed why he came here during dog days, that is, because the climate on the grassland here is cold, it is estimated that this organ is related to the temperature of the outside world, and it must be dog days when the temperature in the water will reach the relevant conditions, and then get clues. There is no doubt that the warmer the water, the better the chances of success.
Therefore, the best chance to enter the water. You should look for a sunny day and dive at the highest temperature of the day, then you are likely to get the most complete clues. This is to cut off Lin Fengjin's practice of secretly diving under the cover of darkness at night, because this is a high-dimensional region, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, so it is not uncommon for the temperature to drop to a few degrees at night even on dog days - then Lin Fengjin can only cry without tears.
And Lin Fengjin still doesn't know anything about the organs under the lake, if he can go in and out many times to obtain information, then it is a matter of diving a few more times, and collecting a few more times will figure it out. It's just that this possibility is almost zero. Most of the mechanisms under this lake are one-off, and there is only one chance, so you must go into the water at noon on a sunny day, and do it perfectly.
It's just that if you want to achieve this kind of thing under the protection of tens of thousands of herdsmen, even a treacherous guy like Lin Fengjin will have a headache, because this queen uses the stupidest way to guard Yanzhi Mountain, but often the stupidest method is also the most effective. The most difficult to crack. It's as if no matter how delicate the lock is installed on the door of the secret room, it may be opened by a thief, but if you directly let dozens of people push a 10,000-pound boulder over to seal the door of the secret room, no matter how clever the thief is, he can only stare dryly
After thinking about it for a day and a night. Lin Fengjin finally found a way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, although this method seems to be a bit vicious, and it is still quite troublesome to implement, but it also seems to be the most reliable method. Fortunately, I have plenty of time, and if time is tight, I am really helpless.
Next, Lin Fengjin left Yanzhi Mountain instead. But he was heading towards the nearest city, in short, the eldest young master of the Lin family was not short of money, and he smashed the silver at the price of the running water, and then purchased a full cart of five or six carts of things.
On the evening of the third day, a raging fire broke out on the mountainside of Yanzhi Mountain! The fire was so raging that it could be said that it spread almost instantly, engulfing the entire mountain.
Yes, this is Lin Fengjin's bottom salary plan!
Yanzhi Mountain covers a small area, but has become the most important place for this plan, Lin Fengjin went to purchase, it is all fire oil, animal fat, saltpeter and other flammable materials, and his Sumeru mustard seed ring at this time and the willow wood met, the internal space has become a lot larger, Lin Fengjin filled it with these flammable materials, and then summoned the heavenly wolf, let it also carry a bag of flammable materials to take advantage of the darkness to go up the mountain.
At night, the patrol of these herdsmen cannot be as strict as in wartime, so it is not too difficult for Lin Fengjin and the Heavenly Wolf to break through the blockade of the herdsmen and go up the mountain in the dark, and then bury these things sporadically on the mountain, the big red and blue flowers will not bloom until September, and no one on the mountain will come to check and pick anything now.
It took three days for Lin Fengjin and the Heavenly Wolf to bury all the fire-causing things they bought in the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain, if Yanzhi Mountain is two or three times larger, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to implement this trick, and then it will be ignited and burned to the mountain.
The vegetation on the mountain is dense and lush, and the grassland is windy, it is also the midsummer season of dog days, it is the time when the weather is dry and dry, there is no one to clean the mountain, and there are not a few dead branches and leaves, Lin Fengjin and the wolf are lit from the left and right ends respectively, and in a short period of time there are more than ten fires lit, and then with lightning speed, it burns in full swing all of a sudden, and the entire Yanzhi Mountain is burned as if it is a pillar of fire, and the good vegetation on the mountain provides sufficient fuel
After this fire is burned, it is obvious that it is definitely not something that can be saved by manpower at that time, and those big red and blue flowers are needless to say, even if they don't turn into ashes, they will definitely not be able to be used to make rouge.
This is Lin Fengjin's poisonous plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, Queen, aren't you here for the big red and blue flowers? Then I'll make this thing extinct first, and see what excuse you have to stay here and not leave?
At the same time, the queen would not have thought that Lin Feng had ulterior motives to do this, but only thought that her rampant and domineering behavior had angered the rest of the concubines, or the noblewomen, so she simply sent her subordinates to come up with this desperate plan - what the old lady can't get, you don't want to get it, everyone will break up in two! The queen will naturally rush to find the suspect in her mind to settle accounts, and as for the tens of thousands of herdsmen around the mountain, they will definitely disperse and go back to their respective homes.
In addition, Lin Fengjin set fire to the mountain, which also killed two birds with one stone, in addition to making the queen go in despair. Such a raging fire that can sweep through the mountains will undoubtedly greatly affect the temperature on the mountain, and it will rise rapidly, even in the water. So in this way, it is also helpful for Lin Fengjin's future plan, after all, the higher the temperature, the higher the probability of success.
The fire burned until the next morning, and the beautiful Yanzhi Mountain was completely burned to the point of baldness, and it was still the kind of bald areata. The pitch black was mixed with ash, and there was a little bit of dead green in it, and there were even places where there were still unfinished flames, and there were curling white smoke that spread unwillingly into the sky, and the beautiful scenery disappeared, but became ugly.
Red and blue flowers are originally a plant with high requirements for the environment, not to mention the rare big red and blue flowers? Needless to say, it is estimated that there will be an exciting bull market in Xirong's cosmetics this year
At this time, Lin Fengjin was speculating with the most malicious mind how the queen of Xirong would face this cruel truth, and she was rolling around like a country shrew. Or is it crazy to use a poisonous tongue and scold your subordinates to the blood?
However, Queen Xirong, who had a shoehorn face and thick eyebrows and big eyes, just looked at Yanzhi Mountain silently. I didn't say a word for a long time, and then I said:
"This fire is burning a little wickedly. ”
Behind the queen was a general dressed in a leopard's skin and shoulders, and said in a deep voice:
"The master mother, it's all the negligence of the subordinates"
The queen waved her hand and said:
"It's not your fault, the fire is so blazing. It spread all over the mountain almost instantly, and it would be strange if no one did it, and it had just been ascertained. Someone bought a large number of fire-starting things at the recent Ganquan Market, and there were three carts, and then they disappeared, needless to say, these fire-starting things were unknowingly carried up Yanzhi Mountain, and they were still surrounded by a large army!"
The general's face began to change, and he even wondered with some horror:
"Those who can do this under the siege of ten thousand armies are either spies and internal responses, and the identity and status of this spy internal response will definitely not be low, or someone has hidden the sky and crossed the sea, evaded the defenders patrolling on all sides, and the bloody aura of the army can break ten thousand laws, this person's strength can be said to be one of the few in the world, is it, is it that behind this matter, is the national teacher?"
The queen said indifferently:
"It's not a national teacher. ”
The woman's eyes showed a wise light and said:
"Because this action of besieging the mountain was what the national teacher hinted me to do, how could he go back on his word? And among those foxes who don't deal with this later, those who have the ability to do this will not do this kind of brainless thing, because in addition to being able to do it for a while, burning the mountain has no substantial benefit to herself, and there are a few people who have no brains, but these people can't invite such a master, which means that this matter arranged by the national teacher really has its own deep meaning. ”
The general also muttered for a while at this time and said:
"Niangniang's excuse for encircling the mountain is to monopolize this year's big red and blue flowers, this person can be called a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and directly destroy the big red and blue flowers and red and blue flowers all over the mountain, his intention, is it to let Niangniang withdraw the army around the mountain?"
The queen sneered:
"So it seems. Now that the mountain is burned bare, it is even more difficult for people to hide, and it is even more difficult to pretend to be a ghost, and this person is self-defeating, and he is really lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!"
Of course, Lin Fengjin didn't know that he was already startled, and the root cause of this matter still lay in the asymmetry of intelligence.
From the very beginning, Lin Fengjin had already done something wrong, because he didn't understand the queen's motives, in fact, this woman didn't come for the big red and blue flowers at all, but was instructed by the national teacher Yuan Hao. If Lin Fengjin knew this in advance, he would definitely not do such a thing as burning the mountain.
There is a way to make a mistake, and it is a wrong step. Lin Fengjin didn't even understand his opponent, so he made a mistake in this matter. When he waited for two whole days, and found that the army did not show the slightest sign of leaving, but was more heavily guarded, it was then that he sensitively realized that something must have gone wrong.
And now, there is not much time left for Lin Fengjin, the third Geng day after the "summer solstice" in the 24 solar terms is the beginning of the volt, the fourth Geng day is the middle volt, and the first Geng day after the "beginning of autumn" is the end of the volt. Then we have to wait until next year.
What should I do? This is a very big question in front of Lin Fengjin. Even a person like Lin Fengjin, when facing tens of thousands of troops, can't help but feel that the mouse can't pull the turtle and can't speak.
Seeing that the time passed quickly, Lin Fengjin was also forced to make a final plan, that is, to go all night.
At this time, although the grass and trees on the mountain were burned, even among the army at that time, there were not a few people suffering from night blindness, and Lin Fengjin's demonic power would not be restrained by the bloody qi, the most important thing is. The other party would not know that his target was the Tianchi of the fifth peak of Yanzhi Mountain, so it was not a big problem to sneak in.
On this day, Lin Feng carefully checked the sky, and found that the sky was covered with thick clouds, and the night must be completely empty of the light of the stars and moons, so dark that he could not see his five fingers, so he ate and drank early, and rode his horse to Yanzhi Mountain in the evening.
He calculated the time very accurately, and when he arrived at the military camp near Yanzhi Mountain, it happened to be completely dark. It's just that this time the infiltration is very demanding for skills, and the wild boar has no way to go with it, and the wild boar deeply regrets it, but fortunately, the wolf can enter the Sumeru mustard seed ring. Lin Fengjin is going to go underwater this time, and there is also a Shui Cun Cun who is proficient in the water system by his side, so it must not be regarded as inadequate.
Along the way, Lin Fengjin relied on the power of the five gods to amplify his five senses to the extreme. With the darkness and lightness, he avoided the patrol and successfully came to the side of the fifth peak of this Yanzhi Mountain.
The top of this fifth peak is also relatively wide, but there is a heavenly pond the size of a basketball court. Lin Feng has the ability to see at night, but he saw mosquitoes flying in the air all the way, the closer he got to this Tianchi, the more he took a closer look, and then he realized that it was a mayfly with big wings.
The pastures around Yanzhi Mountain are fertile, because there are several rivers that meander around them, quite a bit of the taste of the Yellow River, and there are even large areas of marshland nearby, only in such an environment, the grass can grow to be called fat, which is also reasonable, and the larvae of mayflies grow in the water, and it is not uncommon for so many mayflies to come in summer.
Probably because of the high-dimensional relationship here, this kind of mayfly is very big, and even the wings are almost like a big dragonfly, densely packed and stupid, and it is full of people all over the face, Lin Feng knows that this kind of place where the treasure is buried, maybe there will be danger at any time, although the mayfly is not poisonous, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he directly called the local tyrant Jin out.
As soon as the local tyrant Jin appeared, he really had the majesty of the king of insects, and within five feet of Lin Fengjin, no mayflies dared to get close, but at this time, he saw that these mayflies were flying into the heavenly pool, and died in the heavenly pool after laying eggs in the water, and the surface of the water body was covered with a thick layer.
Lin Fengjin approached the side of the heavenly pond and found that the water in this pool was warm, but it was a natural hot spring. This is not unusual, most of the Tianchi are volcanic craters, there should be geothermal resources and the like below, or there are some special minerals in the water that are particularly suitable for the growth of mayflies, so the mayflies in the surrounding dozens of miles are rushing to come, and those who die in the twilight of life also come here to breed offspring.
At this time, Lin Fengjin was not willing to delay any more time, so he seized the time to find the Lying Niu Stone next to Tianchi, but this stone is a very important coordinate. It's just that according to Lin Fengjin's inference, this time is the worst time to take the treasure, but fortunately, the lake water is already warm, so coming at night may not be as bad as imagined.
Because Tianchi is not a big deal, so Lin Fengjin found the Lying Niu Stone but did not spend much effort, it seems that there are still people here who have visited, and they have carved poems on this stone, but the literary style is very inferior.
After coming here, Lin Fengjin was about to enter the water, and was suddenly stunned, because he seemed to find that there seemed to be a lot less dense mayfly corpses on the lake, but because he had just looked at it casually before, he didn't pay much attention to it, so he settled down, and after looking at it twice, he felt that he seemed to be dazzled.
At this time, Lin Fengjin suddenly saw the light of torches flashing in the distance, and there were even people scolding and complaining, it seemed that the patrol team was coming, so he took a deep breath, groped the shore of the lake, and quietly slipped into the water.
After coming to the water, Lin Fengjin's night vision ability was also about to be discounted, at most, he could only see the scenery within three meters, and it was still in a dim yellow, vague, but this was already quite good.
Needless to say, Lin Fengjin's water is excellent, and the water in the pool is still warm this day, as if he is soaking in a hot spring after entering the water, and it feels quite comfortable, but after Lin Fengjin swam down for a while, he felt that his eyes were a little astringent, and he knew that the alkalinity in the pool water was quite heavy, and it was also slightly irritating to the cornea of the eyes.
When Lin Fengjin swam seven or eight zhang underwater, he saw an obvious mechanism, it was a handle, it seemed that he only needed to pull it, and it was not at all that Lin Fengjin had imagined that he had to swim to ten zhang and then look for it slowly.
In fact, Emperor Wei Ming Qian Xu, who set up this organ back then, had to take into account most of the circumstances, and the exercises that could forge the body and enhance the five senses were extremely rare, so not everyone was like Lin Fengjin, who could not only have night vision, but also had good water nature, so this underwater mechanism must also be set up very clearly visible.
After Lin Feng swam to the side of this handle, he looked at it carefully, and did not reach out to pull it, because once he touched this mechanism, it was likely that he would also fall into the conspiracy left by Emperor Wei Ming's Qian Xu! The mechanism was opened, but at the same time, it also fulfilled the mind of Qian Xu, who died hundreds of years ago, and at the same time, it also touched the secret chain arrangement set up by the David Dynasty back then!
Lin Fengjin has been used as a gun once, this feeling of being played by dead people hundreds of years ago is definitely very unpleasant, smart people will only be planted in one place, so Lin Fengjin said that this time he can't go against Emperor Wei Ming's will to make this dead ghost, so this handle is not a last resort, Lin Fengjin will not touch it.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Lin Fengjin felt that he couldn't find any reason for this kind of mechanism or something, but he was afraid that he still had to be an expert to come out.
Who is the expert? Naturally, it is the Iron Armor Divine Beast Heavenly Wolf, to be precise, it is the stone slave who controls the Heavenly Wolf at this time, this strange stone can actually be reassembled into a more powerful Iron Armored Divine Beast with the parts of the Lishan Slave that was broken thousands of years ago, such a skill is said to be read from the original core of the Iron Armored Divine Beast Heavenly Wolf before, of course Lin Fengjin will not believe this kind of.
However, although this Shui'e and Shi Nu seem to be very deferential to Lin Fengjin, they are mysterious, and if they don't want to say anything, they will put on a bad attitude of "whether you believe it or not, in short, I believe it", so Lin Fengjin doesn't talk nonsense with them now, and if there is something to call out in advance, whether you will or not, in short, I think you will
It seems that at this time, there is also a communication between the golden armor guard Sky Wolf and Shui E, Shui E first cast a water system magic spell, and a huge bubble appeared out of thin air, and then the Sky Wolf appeared from the Sumeru mustard seed ring, and directly entered the bubble, and then the bubble shrank, like a raincoat on its body.
The heavenly wolf didn't wait for Lin Feng to ask and took the initiative to say:
"It's okay to get drenched in the rain at the moment, but it still can't be soaked in water, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. ”
Lin Feng said to the Golden Armor Guardian Heavenly Wolf:
"Take a look at this mechanism, if there is a way to crack it, or at least I want to understand what might happen when this mechanism is activated. ”
The wolf didn't shirk either, he leaned over the bubble, and after a while, he suddenly ripped open a piece of breastplate in front of his chest, and then, the stone that looked very ordinary jumped out, and the entire golden armor guard was like a robot with the power turned off, and it didn't move.
