Chapter 33: Luwang Mountain
Lulin is located in the southwest, close to Qiyang City, where the early royal capital of the Central Plains was located.
Dongli is in the southeast of the Central Plains, from the southwest pass into Beijing, if there is no special reason, no one will go to Qiyang and go west.
When Dong Junqin's sword landed, he thought, could it be that Dongli Kingdom wants deer antler grass?
Deer antler grass is a kind of grass that resembles antlers that is a special product of the deer forest, which clears away heat and detoxifies, and can be eaten and medicated. However, the yield of deer antler grass is not small, and there are many substitutes, so it is not a rare grass. The dense forests in the territory of Dongli can also be planted, and there should be no need to purchase them from the Central Plains.
If it weren't for the deer antler grass, then only the scenery in the deer forest would be the most attractive.
Deer forest deer forest, as the name suggests, there are many deer in the forest, and there are more flowers and plants.
A few decades ago, there was a deer antler craze in the Central Plains, and many horned deer were not spared, and the same is true here.
It's just that the craze of the deer forest comes and goes quickly.
Because although the deer in the deer forest have horns, both male and female only have a pair of small tips, and the longest is no longer than a small finger. However, the deer that has lost its antlers will not live for more than three days, and as soon as the deer dies, it will have nothing to gnaw on the grass and fat, and the antler grass will not grow well when it is covered with weeds.
Coming and going, it is equivalent to the loss of crops in the farmer's field and the loss of livestock at home.
Therefore, the Lulin County Government banned the taking of antlers early.
However, there is also a theory that the reason why the deer in the forest below the mountain do not grow horns is because they are not cultivated enough. Once they have cultivated enough, their horns will grow into dead tree trunks, and then they will disappear into the depths of Luwang Mountain and never come out again. And with the help of trees, ordinary people can't find it.
Therefore, Luwang Mountain is also known as Immortal Mountain.
However, unlike the Tianqing Mountain Fairyland, Luwang Mountain is not a continuous group of mountains, and its mountain and rock peaks are low and disorderly, as if countless stone pillars grow in the ground.
It is easy to fall to death when climbing Luwang Mountain, and it is easy to get lost when you enter Luwang Mountain. If you want to pass through Mt. Luwang, most of them are monks who know how to take the sword.
No, Lord Cheng Ma of Lulin County read the letter presented by Dong Junqin and learned that the person in front of him had studied art in Tianqing, so he immediately reported the situation to him.
This Lord Ma is not tall, but his words are very long.
From the customs all the way to the planting of trees, there are also events that have occurred over the years. It can be called a county record that can speak.
After listening to him for an hour, Dong Junqin finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Master Ma, has the Dongli delegation entered the Deer Forest?"
Master Ma nodded again and again: "I went in, I entered the day before yesterday." At that time, my subordinates reported that I specially arranged for people to follow secretly, for fear that they would have tricks in their hearts and hide in Luwang Mountain. Doctor Dong, you also know that this Luwang Mountain ......"
Dong Junqin interrupted again: "How many people are there?
Master Ma thought for a while: "Four or five people, I didn't bring anything...... Oh no, I must have brought a lot of silver. My subordinates inquired that they played all the way from Qiyang to Lulin, and the food, food, and purchase were all the best and most expensive. Surely he brought a lot of silver. ”
Then Master Ma continued to talk about this topic for most of the hour. Dong Junqin understood that what Master Ma saw was about a traveler who had come to the Central Plains to eat, drink and have fun, and was now heading towards Luwang Mountain.
This is also reasonable, pretending to be a traveler is not easy to be suspected. However, there were only four or five people in this wave of travelers, and there were no large items with them, so it was obvious that the exorcism was not in the hands of this wave of people.
Could it be that the sound is attacking the west?
Dong Junqin immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to Lord Gao's mansion.
However, since he arrived in the Deer Forest, Dong Junqin remembered that the master had mentioned that the Deer King Immortal Mountain and the Tianqing Realm have been quite related since the generation of the ancestors.
But in reality, the Azure disciples rarely go to Luwang Mountain. I have never seen the people of Luwang Mountain interact with Tianqing.
The master only said that the current Sanshi on the Deer King Immortal Mountain used to be a female disciple of the Azure Realm, and then he didn't know what happened, ran away from home, and had no contact with the old man of the Azure Realm.
Dong Junqin still remembers that he was very curious about Luwang Mountain when he was young, but unfortunately the master refused to bring him here, for fear of being kicked down the mountain by the female fairy on Luwang Mountain.
But now that he is out of school, and he has an imperial decree, it shouldn't matter if he takes the opportunity to find this immortal at this time, right?
After Dong Junqin instructed Master Ma to keep it secret, he quietly left Lulin County and went to the direction of Luwang Mountain.
From the county seat through a section of the forest, is Luwang Village.
Although Luwang Village is not very lively, life in the village is very busy. In addition to deer antler grass, a variety of fruits and flowers are also produced here.
The agricultural trade is busy, and there is less copper smell and more homely atmosphere than Changyu.
After Dong Junqin found a place to stay, he walked around the village. It's nothing fun, but the air is good, if you travel, climb low mountains, pick fruits, all should be self-cultivation.
Just as he was looking for such a traveler everywhere and couldn't, Dong Junqin smelled a demonic aura.
frowned, this demonic aura was somewhat familiar, as if it had been smelled somewhere.
Dong Junqin put away his breath, his steps were as light as nothing, and he found the door of a pastry shop.
Dong Junqin looked inside and saw the back of a purple-clothed man. He suddenly remembered that he had seen this back in the teahouse of Azure Town, with the same color of clothes and the same demonic spirit.
Such a coincidence?
Just when Dong Junqin was about to turn around and hide in the dark to think about countermeasures, the guy at the pastry shop shouted: "The guest officer at the door, please! ”
Okay, Dong Junqin had no choice but to go in, and the man in purple also turned around when he heard the sound.
This time, Dong Junqin was stunned.
If Bai Mei is cold and glamorous, and Suo Ling's mother-in-law is incredible, then the person in front of him is breathtaking.
With fair skin, smiling eyes, and slightly raised lips, it is really ......
"Young Master You, your flower cake is ready. The shopkeeper broke Dong Junqin's thoughts with one sentence.
Son?
Dong Junqin took a good look at it, it was indeed a man's dress.
Looking at that face again, the word "male" popped up in Dong Junqin's mind.
It was just a moment of shock. Smelling him again with a faint demonic aura on his body, Dong Junqin thought of the scandal in Luozhou's assassination history.
It's a pity that before he had time to think about it, the man in purple took his things and indifferently skipped Dong Junqin and went outside.
"The guest hasn't been to us, has he?" The guy said, "It is said that there are many women in Jiangnan, and we can produce beautiful men in Lulin." The one just now is the wandering boy who lives in Luwang Mountain, his family grows flowers, hey, it's a big flower garden, there is a flowering period all year round, it's beautiful. ”
The guy thinks it's beautiful, but Dong Junqin only thinks it's weird.
He ordered a few pastries, threw some silver to the man, and told him to wrap them up and send them directly to the inn. And he hurried out to follow the man.
The man in purple obviously knew that he was being followed, and he slipped away with Dong Junqin to play quickly.
Suddenly, there was a big turn, and Dong Junqin found that he had lost people. And the matter in front of him is in the mountainous area of Luwang Mountain, where the forest and stones are disordered.
Dong Junqin is sure that this person, no, there is something wrong with this demon.
However, there are still things to do at the moment, and I will check them out when the affairs of the Dongli Mission are clear.
So he turned around, and before he could raise his head, he was bumped into his arms: "Ouch, go in such a hurry? ”
The voice...... Something familiar.
The two stood firm and looked at each other.
Dong Junqin: "Miss Alu!"
Ah Lu: "Dong Junqin!"
Compared with the previous encounters, today's reunion, the faces of the two are more joyful than surprised.
So they said in unison, "Why are you here?"
And again: "I am ......"
Dong Junqin saw that she seemed to be very interested in sharing, so he asked her to say first: "After you leave, I will go to Suo Ling's mother-in-law to reason, and then she gave me an errand." Ask me to go to Luwang Mountain to find a negative man. ”
"That's a coincidence. Dong Junqin smiled, "I was also entrusted to come here to find someone." ”
"Really, who are you looking for?"
Dong Junqin leaned close to her ear and revealed some things about Dongli.
Ah Lu listened thoughtfully, and said half-loudly: "I have just arrived here, and I have just started the terrain, and I haven't seen the Dongli people you mentioned. Why don't we look for it together and cover for each other. How?"
Dong Junqin seconded the motion.
The two returned to Dong Jun's designated room, and the pastries had been delivered. Dong Junqin asked Xiao Er to serve a pot of local specialty flower tea, and invited Ah Lu to eat and talk.
Ah Lu said: "There is a female ghost under Granny Suo Ling, and she is close to a ghost." Well, this flower tea and flower cake are delicious! Oh, go on. But the female ghost in Suo Ling Pavilion couldn't leave that building, and it happened that I wanted to go to the Netherworld to find a high-level ghost to ask about the life stone, so Suo Ling's mother-in-law gave me this opportunity. Let me help her bring the letter to King Xue's mansion, and I will be able to cross the ghost river with a fair name.
After I arrived at King Xue's Mansion and handed the letter in, Bald helped me find a scholar. Study...... It's equivalent to the Heavenly Book Tower of the Netherworld!
I found an ancient book, which contains that in ancient times, there were only gods and immortals in the two realms of heaven and earth, and the rest were the spirits that you said in the Azure Realm. Later, there was a demon again. The power of the demon and the god are equal, and they lose both sides in the perennial battle.
The Yin and Yang Gods of the Protoss were worried that the war between gods and demons would destroy the heavens and the earth, so they were divided into three realms, the gods returned to the heavens, the demons dominated the earth, and the mortal womb entered the middle, which is the mortal realm where we are now. After the mortal realm is demarcated, the mortal fetus will be created, so the yin and yang god found the stone cave where the two saints of heaven and earth were born.
This stone cave can purify all primordial spirits, that is, memory cultivation and any primordial spirits generated after awakening will be purified. Not only that, but it can also restore damaged primal spirits. To put it bluntly, it is to let the Yuan Ling return to the primitive, and then put it into the flesh and enter the mortal world. ”
Dong Junqin heard the words and said: "This effect is much stronger than the life-making stone in the book. Are you sure?"
Ah Lu nodded: "Bald said, before the gods returned to the ruins, in order to prevent the demons from taking advantage of the opportunity, they destroyed all the divine objects that could not be brought back to the sky. This cave must have been destroyed as well.
But if there are stone fragments left, some of the divine power will be retained. The Birth Stone can erase memories and restore the soul before re-entering the body, isn't it just the right part for this?"
Dong Junqin said: "What do you mean, there is indeed such a thing as a living stone in the world?"
Alu nodded.
Dong Junqin said again: "Then you came to Luwang Mountain to learn that this stone is here?"
"Not really. Ah Lu waved his hand, "I don't have a clue where the stone is." I came to Luwang Mountain because the Wheel King replied to Suo Ling's mother-in-law, saying that the ghosts trapped in Suo Ling Pavilion would only need to be less than fifty years, and they would be able to come out after eliminating their resentment against the yang world.
The female ghost was fascinated by sex and married to Luwang Mountain before her death, who knew that her husband was romantic, and in order to divorce his wife and remarry, he framed her for having an affair with another man. This female ghost is also stupid, and she even confessed to death. As a result, when he arrived at the Netherworld, he found that the suicide was going to hell to be punished, and reincarnation after punishment would not be a good life, so he was furious, so he fled to Suoling Pavilion, wanting to wait for the negative man to go to the ghost city to take revenge. Who knew that he hadn't come down yet, and seeing that fifty years were coming, he hurriedly asked me to come up and avenge her. I just took the opportunity to go to the yang world to find out the whereabouts of the stone that made the stone. ”
Dong Junqin nodded, and said in his heart: I see, God really helps me. This time, I must take Alu back to Yanjiao.
