After Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu walked a distance, the quarrel between the Taoist and the farmer was faintly heard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Caiyu said with a smile: "These two people are really interesting, watching them talk, they should have been friends for many years, but since they are friends, they fight with each other, not only scolding each other, but even fighting." ”

"This is a good friend!"

Hearing Yang Yi's words, Gu Caiyu stared at Yang Yi with big eyes, looking confused and unclear.

Yang Yi sighed: "The two of them are saying everything to their faces, they don't agree with each other, and they fight, although they are rude, but they are much stronger than the people with honey swords." ”

Gu Caiyu has been in the rivers and lakes for several years, but she understands Yang Yi's words, and nodded in agreement: "That's true!"

The two moved on.

A peach grove appeared in front of the two.

This peach forest is not small, and the peach trees are full of fist-sized peaches, red and white, lined with green leaves, which are extremely beautiful.

A gust of wind blew, the peach tree shook slightly, and the peaches on it swayed up and down with the peach branches, and the sweet smell of peaches could be smelled even from a distance.

Gu Caiyu was greedy, saw this tree full of red peaches, and smelled the fragrance of peaches, and immediately burst into words, exclaiming: "Ha, so many peach trees!"

After walking a few steps, he exclaimed again, "Ha, so many peaches!"

After taking a few steps forward, Gu Cai said again: "I don't want so many peaches, it's a pity not to eat them, third brother, how about we pick a few of them and try them?"

After listening to Gu Caiyu's words, before Yang Yi could answer, he heard someone say: "If you want to eat peaches, then you have to pay for peaches first!"

The two followed the sound and noticed that the voice was coming from a nearby thatched hermitage.

This thatched hermitage is built near the peach forest near the path, and it is small, low and covered by the peach forest, if you are not careful, you may not be able to see it at a glance.

I only heard a sound from Suosuo, and out of the thatched hermitage came an old man in a green shirt, who was less than five feet tall, with a messy beard and a shawl, and a wrinkled dress, which was very unkempt.

After he got out of the thatched hermitage, he looked at Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu, and said with a smile, "You two want to eat peaches? It's easy, but you have to give the old man a little peach money." ”

Gu Caiyu smiled: "Peach money, how much is your peach a pound?"

She reached out and took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and gently tossed it at the long-bearded old man, "This piece of silver should be enough to buy a few peaches, right?"

The long-bearded old man stretched out his hand to catch the broken silver, and said with a smile: "The little girl made a mistake, but the peach money that the old man said is not silver money. ”

Gu Caiyu asked, "It's not silver money, but what is it?"

The long-bearded old man smiled: "My peach forest has been more than 3,000 years ago, but the rules have never changed in the past 3,000 years. ”

Gu Caiyuqi said: "Then the poems are exchanged?"

The long-bearded old man smiled: "The old man likes the world's poetry the most, if you want to eat peaches, you have to exchange poems, if the poems are good, then eat good peaches, and if you do poorly, then eat ordinary peaches." ”

Gu Caiyu asked, "Don't your peaches taste different?"

The long-bearded old man said, "That's nature. He pointed to a few peach trees beside him and said, "These peaches in the south were planted thirty years ago, and although they have borne fruit, they taste only a little better than ordinary peaches, and although they are still delicious, they are of little use." ”

Gu Caiyu asked, "What else?"

The long-bearded old man said with a smile: "The peach tree planted in the north is 100 years old, and the peaches that bear fruit are ripe every ten years. ”

He pointed to the peach forest in the west and said: "This is a peach tree planted five hundred years ago, the fruit is ripe once in a hundred years, people eat it and keep fit, cure diseases, strengthen the body without disease, and those who practice martial arts eat it, at least ten years of hard work." ”

Gu Caiyu's eyes lit up when he listened, "What do you say about the peaches in the east?"

She saw that the old man said all the peaches in the north, south and west, but the peach forest in the east did not speak, so she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old man, what about the peach forest in the east?"

Hearing Gu Caiyu ask about the Oriental Peach Forest, the long-bearded old man's face became solemn, "This Oriental Peach Forest was planted by the Confucian Sect Master Ren Daoran three thousand years ago, and it only ripened for a thousand years, and only three peaches were produced on one tree. Later, Taishi Yang Shenxing came here to enjoy the flowers, saying that the peach tree was so slow to bear fruit, it must be caused by the lack of high-quality fertilizer. When I heard him say this, I begged him to find a solution. ”

Gu Caiyu said: "Master Yang, why did you have a relationship with Master Yang again?"

The long-bearded old man said: "This peach forest was originally planted by the Confucian master, it is a Confucian industry, and Yang Taishi is a Confucian and Taoist master, of course this peach forest has something to do with him." ”

Yang Yi was silent since he saw this long-bearded old man, and only then did he ask softly: "Dare to ask the seniors, has this peach forest been guarded by the seniors for three thousand years?"

The long-bearded old man looked at Yang Yi, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, I received Ren Daoran's kindness in the past, and after he planted trees, he entrusted me to take care of these fruit trees for him. ”

After Gu Caiyu heard this, he stretched out his finger and scraped his face a few times, and said to the long-bearded old man: "Brag! You said that you have been taking care of the peach forest, so haven't you lived for more than 3,000 years? The old turtle has not lived as long as you!"

The long-bearded old man shook his head and said: "What kind of turtle do you want to see, the turtle prime minister of the East China Sea Dragon Palace is already 90,000 years old, and he still looks like a young man, if an ordinary turtle is free of disease and disaster, it can also have a thousand years of life." My clan, if you talk about longevity, can't compare to the spirit turtle clan. ”

Gu Caiyu saw that he said this, this person was not angry, but instead talked nonsense seriously, and said with a smile: "You are really interesting, listen to your tone, as if you are not a human race." ”

She was unintentional, but after Yang Yi heard it, her body was shocked.

After listening to Gu Caiyu's words, the long-bearded old man smiled slightly, did not explain, but continued to talk about the peach tree, "I heard Taishi Yang say that this peach tree bears little fruit, mainly because of insufficient fertilizer, so I begged Taishi for help. ”

Yang Yi asked, "What happened?"

The long-bearded old man said: "Later, Master Yang said that this peach forest was planted by the sages, and it should be taken care of by the sages. After saying this, he floated away, and three days later, he defeated the undead in the north and captured three undead monsters. ”

The long-bearded old man said this, let out a long sigh, and said to Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu: "Thinking about this matter now, it still makes me unbelievable. At that time, I didn't know that the three people he captured were the old monsters of the undead Black Mountain, but I thought that the three people he brought were lifeless, and their breath was terrifying to the extreme, and one of the women just looked at me, and I vomited blood and passed out. ”

The long-bearded old man looked scared, "When I woke up, I found that Master Yang was digging a pit under the peach tree. When he saw me wake up, he asked me, 'How is it?' and I said, 'It's all right, I can't die.' Master Yang said to me, 'That's good!'

Gu Caiyu asked curiously, "What happened later?"

The long-bearded old man was silent for a long time, and said, "Later, Taishi Yang pinched them to death and buried them in the pit he had just dug. ”

He told me that this is the best fertilizer. ”
