Chapter 13: Millennial Ginkgo
Tianmu Mountain, because there is a pond on the top of the east and west peaks, is like looking up at the sky with both eyes, so it gets its name. And the weather here is also very distinctive, warm in winter and cool in summer, coupled with the vast forest sea, quiet and elegant, so as soon as the tourist area is developed, it attracts many tourists to come to escape the summer and see the scenery.
More importantly, in Taoist legends, Tianmu Mountain is still the place where Zhang Daoling once lived in seclusion, and it is also the location of the 34th cave of the 36 caves......
"Hey, in fact, those so-called caves and blessed lands are also blown out by people, where are there so many magical places? ”
Holding a stick in his hand to push aside a bush, Yang Xi slowly said something about Tianmu Mountain to the clouded leopard, "At least I haven't practiced here in Tianmu Mountain back then, I prefer the ...... of Huangshan."
"But compared to Huangshan, you should like it here, at least it's easier to find a wife......"
After all, Tianmu Mountain is much larger than Yellow Mountain, and the Yellow Mountain shown on the map is a small mark, and Tianmu Mountain is not a short mountain range, the area is vast and deep and dense, and I heard that there are other clouded leopards living in it, which is definitely conducive to helping solve the single problem of the clouded leopard around him who is about to become an adult.
The clouded leopard seemed to understand the ridicule in Yang Xi's words, and the anger that he had just lost the game with this person made it blow up at once, ran to a tree, and refused to follow Yang Xi slowly.
"Cut, now that there are more single dogs, what can't you say?If you don't let me worry about you now, you won't have a place to go if you regret it in the future!" Yang Xi snorted a few times, ignored the cat uncle, and then continued to move towards the depths of Tianmu Mountain.
According to past experience, the more natural the place, the richer the aura, and the periphery of Tianmu Mountain has long been developed, Yang Xi didn't hear any visions in the outer circle, and he had to go a little deeper to understand what changes had happened to this mountain after the revival of aura.
However, so far, Yang Xi has been walking and running to the depths of Tianmu Mountain for more than two hours, and everywhere he sees, except for the forest, it is still the forest.
"I'm a little hungry......"
After taking a sip of spiritual water to replenish his strength, Yang Xi suddenly touched his stomach and screamed, "I didn't expect to consume so much physical strength unconsciously, it seems that I have to find a way to find something to eat." ”
It happened that there was a mountain stream not far away, so Old Ghost Yang ran over with great interest, trying to see if there were any fish or anything like that in the water.
It's a pity that the mountain stream is shallow, and only Yang Xi's handsome face is reflected - is it possible that today he has to learn from the ancients to buy a Gu Ying self-pity, beautiful and delicious?
Oh roar, it's kind of interesting to think about.
"But try to find it, I'm hungry and I don't have the energy to do anything. ”
Walking along the mountain stream, Yang Xi casually shook the stick in his hand, and then looked at it and found a scene - a gray snake was confronting a big frog and was ready to attack.
"Okay, these two are a lot of meat!"
Yang Xike, who was seven or eight meters away, was greedy, picked up two stones directly from his feet, and hit the snake frog in front of him.
Although there was no fisherman to profit, Yang Xike had the spirit of the yellow finch behind.
"Quack!"
The gray snake was shot on the head by the stone and fell to the ground, only lying on the ground and pumping, and the frog had a lot of meat, and he could even shout a last word when he was dying, accusing Yang Xi of being unreasonable, especially the place where it was hit was a big white belly, and under the impact of the stone, a pair of eyes bulged even bigger.
And Yang Xi didn't feel the resentment from the frog at all, and happily grabbed the prey and was about to make a fire to barbecue.
The clouded leopard curiously leaned over and sniffed at the snake frog.
Yang Xi stretched out his hand to catch it, "Don't think about eating and drinking this time, I can't eat myself...... Go hunting yourself!"
"By the way, if you catch a big prey, remember to give me points!" After successfully driving the clouded leopard away, Yang Xi didn't forget to say a word to it, and the angry clouded leopard turned his head and gave such a shameless low roar.
"Really...... I don't even have to eat anything, and I don't have a conscience. Peeling the skin of the snake and frog and sticking it on the stick and roasting it, Yang Xi looked up boredly, looking at the branches and leaves of the ancient trees that covered the sky and the sun, as well as the slowly rising white smoke, a feeling came to his heart.
"Strange, why do you suddenly feel the urge to miss poetry?"
"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other......?
"Forget it, I guess I'm angry with the big cat. ”
Shaking his head and throwing this sudden feeling out of his mind, Yang Xi continued to lower his head and roast the snake frog.
Both of these are non-toxic, and there is nothing that cannot be eaten after being handled, Yang Xi took out a box of spices from his backpack and began to sprinkle it on the meat.
As soon as the tender meat and spices touched, the fragrance was instantly stimulated, so that Yang Xi couldn't help but reach out and break a piece of frog meat and throw it into his mouth.
"It's so fragrant!" Yang Xi praised him very face-savingly, "I didn't expect the frogs in Tianmu Mountain to be so delicious, and the meat is much more tender than other things." ”
As for the snake...... In comparison, it is not much of a brilliant place, but Yang Xi is not partial, and he happily used it to fill in the Five Organs Temple for himself.
After wiping his mouth and extinguishing the fire again, Yang Xi rested for a while and set off again.
He whistled somewhere in the woods, and the clouded leopard sprang out with a dead rabbit in its mouth, flesh still between its teeth.
"You really brought it to me?" Yang Xi was shocked when he saw the clouded leopard pretending to be reserved and placing the rabbit in front of him.
The clouded leopard let out a breath from its nose and turned its head to the side proudly, but its ears were inadvertently erected.
"But you can't give me half of what you've gnawed!" Looking at the rabbit that looked like blood, Yang Xi couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, this time it's your ability...... But I won't eat this rabbit, so let's use it as a bait and use it to seduce and seduce other things. ”
Disgusted, he found a few big leaves to wrap the remains of the rabbit, Yang Xi picked it up with a stick, and reluctantly took it on the road.
There's no way, you can't take care of your children's enthusiasm, what if the clouded leopard is not filial in the future?
One person and one leopard walked for a few hours, during which they encountered a wild boar and several snakes, as well as other small things, but fortunately, these two scourges were full of food and drink, and they didn't start, only let Yang Xi release some spiritual deterrence to scare away.
After walking a little further, Yang Xi finally found a good thing to use.
The day's harvest has only appeared now, which makes Yang Xi very happy.
He ran over with a brisk pace, stepped on it, and beckoned the clouded leopard to come over, "Come and see, this tree is a big treasure!"
Yang Xi gently stroked the cracked marks on the bark of the tree, and said with a sigh: "The ginkgo biloba tree that is more than 1,500 years old can be regarded as my age......
"It's still lightning striking wood, although it's down now, but I'm too lazy to let me cut it with my hands......"
At this moment, at his feet, a ginkgo tree that did not know how long it was lying quietly in the thick and decaying dead branches and leaves, extremely dazzling.
The golden ginkgo biloba leaves are sprinkled all over the ground, as if they have been plated with a layer of gold on the ground, and they also exude a faint fragrance.
