Chapter Ninety-Five: Outside Luoyang City
Xu Tao was obviously extremely happy that this scholar could return alive, and the two talked again, and Xu Tao remembered to take him back to the village. When he returned to the village, many people came to offer condolences, but there were also many people who advised him.
All in all, everyone had a good impression of this young scholar who had only been in contact with him for half a day, and they were all very happy to learn that he was not killed in Yunwu Mountain. An Jiu Weng pointed at him, and after a long time, he sighed: "Young man, it is too reckless. ”
Li Qingwei smiled with a little apology. Next to her was a little girl, the little girl who was captured by the white ape that night, and the granddaughter of An Jiuweng. This little girl is very cute, and she keeps thanking Li Qing.
Over the past few days, I have heard a lot about this scholar's brother dying in Yunwu Mountain in order to save her, and now it is a very lucky thing to be able to come back. Although Li Qing went to save people, in fact, he didn't even see this little girl, but was rescued by Monk Huaisu.
Li Qing felt that he didn't contribute, but when he heard these thanks, he felt ashamed in his heart, and laughed dumbly. Although it was not Li Qing who rescued people, he was trapped in Yunwu Mountain in order to save people, which was also out of good intentions. Therefore, An Jiuwen was very grateful to him, and gave him a large amount of purple fluorite powder, and gave him some papaya.
Seeing the purple fluorite powder and the kawira melon, Li Qing remembered the mountain before and couldn't help asking. However, the answers of Xu Tao and others made him stay where he was. The entire mountain disappeared overnight, leaving only a large clearing of land.
"A huge mountain peak disappeared overnight?" Li Qing was a little stunned. The mountain that produces purple fluorite is far away from Yunwu Mountain, and the purple fluorite produced by this mountain is a fierce beast that restrains Yunwu Mountain, Li Qing vaguely felt that the two mountains were somewhat connected, but he did not study it deeply.
"Originally, the mountain is gone, the purple fluorite has no source, it is rootless water, and there will always be an end of one day. Everyone in the village was terrified, but for the next few months, they had not seen the beast reappear. ”
An Jiuweng sighed: "This mountain was probably given by the Emperor of Heaven, and now all the fierce beasts have disappeared, and this mountain has been taken away by the gods." "In the past, Li Qing still felt that it was a legend recorded in the book, but since he cultivated, he knew that these stories may not be false.
There must be a reason why a huge mountain suddenly disappeared. Could it be that some cultivators with great supernatural powers have moved the mountain peaks and moved mountains to reclaim the sea? Li Qing thought in his heart: "If there really is such a great supernatural power, then at least it can only be used by cultivators above the dragon and tiger real people, and it is very likely that it is done by human immortals or earth immortals!"
Many thoughts flashed in Li Qing's heart, but there was no definite answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it. However, many villagers surrounded Li Qing and asked him to tell about the days when he was trapped on Yunwu Mountain. When Li Qing made a brief introduction, satisfying everyone's curiosity, it gradually dispersed.
"Somehow, in the past two months, Yunwu Mountain has begun to grow with green grass and trees, and it seems to be rejuvenated. An Jiuweng said: "Originally, most of the fierce beasts came from Yunwu Mountain, but now they are gone. ”
"It seems that the Cloud Mist Mountain has changed a lot, and the hills that produce purple fluorite have also disappeared, but in the long run, it should be a good thing, after all, without the attack of fierce beasts, the village can continue to go back to the days of decades ago, and there is no need to worry day and night. ”
Li Qing nodded, just thinking that maybe he should spend a few days searching the neighborhood to clean up the fish that slipped through the net, so that the village would no longer be disturbed by fierce beasts. After all, he has gained a lot of benefits in the village, not to mention that purple fluorite is better than high-grade cinnabar, and its value is not low.
This cascada is a rare fruit medicinal material, according to Li Qing's thoughts, although Pei Ge Lao and Master Cui are in high power, they may not be able to find such a rare medicinal material. Without a taste of medicinal herbs, the sword pill would not be able to cultivate. Therefore, such an extremely rare medicinal material is really very important to Li Qing.
Li Qing was really grateful, but unfortunately although he had some silver taels on his body, in the village, gold and silver were of little use. As for food, there are countless melons and fruits here near mountains and rivers, which can be used for hunting and fishing, so there is naturally no shortage of food.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Qing, who was originally going to leave, stayed for another night. That night, Li Qing wrote a small booklet with his own handwriting, which recorded many medicinal materials, all of which were common medicines in the mountains, which could cure diseases and injuries.
"In this mountain, there is no Langzhong, there is no Qi Huang, so the disease is an extremely difficult thing, a headache and brain fever may lose his life, and even suffer some minor injuries, if not properly treated, it will be pus and ulcer, and there is a danger of life. ”
Li Qing stopped his pen and breathed a sigh of relief: "These are all common medicinal materials in the mountains, some of them cure diseases, some of them cure injuries, and they should be of great use to the village." Let's just take it as a reward for papaya and purple fluorite powder. ”
There are a few people in the village who have studied private school, but they rarely go out of the mountains, and their learning is vulgar and they do not understand the art of disambiguation. To this end, Li Qing deliberately drew many pictures, expressing the form of medicinal materials and how to use them in graphics, and then using words to tell them next to them. "It's time to go. "There was a glimmer of morning light in the east.
At night, the moon and stars are scarce, and on the official road leading to Luoyang, a long figure is walking towards Luoyang City without hurry. A city can be seen in the distance, brightly lit, like the only light between heaven and earth. Looking at the shining city in the distance, Li Qing was silent.
Luoyang City, the eastern capital, is really prosperous and endless. "Although the gates of the city are closed and opened in the morning, ordinary people will sleep outside the city for the night, but although the walls are high, they cannot stop me. "Naturally, people travel during the day and stop at night.
Most people calculated that if they were unable to enter the city before dark, they would rest early and leave the next day. Li Qing passed through a surrounding city in the evening, and was supposed to stay in the city for the night, and set off the next day.
But he was a little anxious in his heart, so he ignored it and went straight to the outside of the capital. He has cultivated well, does not invade the cold and heat, and is not afraid of any fierce birds and beasts in the wild, so he rushed to Luoyang in the dust. After coming out of Yunwu Mountain, he searched near the village for a day, looking for the fierce beasts that had slipped through the net, but found nothing, so it can be seen that there are no fierce beasts near the village.
After Li Qing was relieved, he set off immediately, and it took a few days to come to Luoyang City. Outside Luoyang City, only feel that the eastern capital Luoyang City is extremely majestic, the city wall is towering, stretching away, although not seeing the whole picture, but also feel that there is a desolate and vast atmosphere rushing to the face, only this can be seen, it is more magnificent than the ordinary city.
In the world, only Xijing Chang'an City can be compared with it. Li Qing was trying to perform light skills outside the city, and jumped over the city wall to rest. But he saw a little light floating on the moat. "What is it?" Li Qing only felt that the bright light was looming
There is nothing like nothing.
Along the water of the moat, the light came with the waves, but it was a paper lamp, half a person high, divided into seven layers, layer by layer, all of which were different flower shapes. The periphery of the flower-shaped paper lamp is lit with candles, and you can see countless candle flames, reflecting the entire half-human-high paper lamp with a transparent light, like jade.
Li Qingda was curious, came to the moat, stopped casually, and intercepted the paper lamp. This paper lamp is finely made, covered with white paper on the outside, lit with candles, and made of bamboo sticks on the inside. In the top of the paper flower, a candle is lit with a scorching light, and a note is enclosed under the candle. Li Qing took out the note, opened it immediately, and saw a few small characters written on it.
The Tao is in the inaction and nature? Li Qingdeng was stunned. Looking at these seven words, it seems to be a woman's handwriting, and then looking at the literal meaning, could this be the handwriting of a cultivator? Li Qing couldn't help but secretly praise, and said in his heart: "Luoyang City is really a prosperous place, and it seems that a paper lamp is from the hands of a cultivator." ”
Just thinking like this, many points of light floated upstream. These points of light are very faint, but they are extremely numerous, at a glance, there are dozens or hundreds of points, and the flowing water at the upper end seems to be constantly floating down. Behind them were also paper lamps, but they were all the size of a palm, each in the shape of many different flowers, and all of them were lit with a candle in the middle, and under the candle was a piece of paper with handwriting written on it.
Compared with the half-human-high paper lamp, the rest of the paper lamps are only a candle, the size of a palm, in comparison, the light is weak, but it can't hold a very large number. Li Qing only felt dense, with countless points of light, which was very dazzling.
The half-person-high paper lamp before was thought to have come from the hand of a cultivator, Li Qing was very curious, and took out a palm-sized paper lamp at the front end, and took out a note from under the candle. It reads: The husband is far away, his heart is lonely, and he wishes that Xue Gongzi next door will return as soon as possible.
"Uh......" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was still written by a cultivator, but he didn't expect such a passage, and after a while, the young scholar suddenly said to himself: "Husband is traveling far away, why don't you look forward to your husband's return, but look forward to Xue Gongzi next door coming back?"
Then he seemed to understand something, and immediately blushed a little, and with a shake of his hand, he was about to throw the note out. "Bah, boy, return the note from the Ninth Girl. "There are many people running down on the upper side of the river, looking at their gorgeous clothes, it seems that they are all official eunuchs and sons.
When the first son shouted: "Where is the note?" Li Qing was a little confused, so he subconsciously handed over the note he just wanted to throw away. The man only glanced at it, and as if struck by lightning, he took a few steps backwards in disbelief and fell to the ground.
Li Qing could see that this son-in-law still had some martial arts in his body, although he had not been able to cultivate his internal strength, he was already a figure who carried qi and blood, and his footsteps also had some specific steps, obviously he had obtained the true inheritance. Such a good martial arts boy can't stand?
A few boys in the back rushed up, snatched the note, and circulated it separately. When they saw the handwriting on the note, everyone was dumbfounded. "How can it be ......?" "Where did the ninth girl come from?" "Which bastard is surnamed Xue next door?"
Seeing them dumbfounded, all in disbelief, and feeling grief-stricken, Li Qing was a little stunned, and faintly felt that he seemed to have given the wrong note. He looked down at the note in his hand that read "The Tao is in Wuwei and Nature", and he smiled a little in his heart, but his face was light and light.
