Chapter 81: Master and Father (1)
The snow in Phoenix Mountain is very different from other famous mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is only because when the snow falls on Phoenix Mountain, a red flower blooms, and this red flower is extremely bright, even at the foot of the mountain, you can see a little red from a distance after the wind and snow have stopped.
The reason why Phoenix Mountain got its name is inseparable from this kind of red flower.
Just because the flowers of Phoenix Mountain are in full bloom in all seasons, and they are bright red in all seasons.
The farmers in the two villages at the foot of the mountain thought it was a flower, but it bloomed in four seasons. But some people are well aware that these flowers are not the same.
In spring, this Phoenix Mountain safflower blooms in the weeds, and the hunters in the mountains can see it on both sides of the road, this safflower flower heart has an almost spring peach tree-like color, pink and pretty, there are always visitors like to pick a few flowers and insert them in the sideburns. But neither the hunters in the mountains nor the tourists who come and go know that after the safflower withers, the remaining leaves are dried and can be used as an introduction to medicine.
In the summer, when the vegetation in this Phoenix Mountain is in full bloom, the red flowers do not bloom where they can be reached. In the steep places of the rocks and rocks, between the crevices everywhere, countless red flowers have emerged, which should have been wild red flowers, but now they have become full of red. Orions all call this summer safflower a scene of Phoenix Mountain, which also attracts many tourists to watch. But what these visitors did not realize was that these red flowers, born in adversity, were very different from spring flowers, not only the center of the flower was dark red, but the edges of the petals were also black and purple. Just because they are born between the rock walls, visitors can not see closely, and the mountain hunters have rumored from generation to generation that these flowers are a category, so that even those white-headed old men at the foot of the mountain will tell some tourists and pedestrians that there is only one kind of flower on Phoenix Mountain.
After midsummer, autumn is coming, and there are countless red leaves on Phoenix Mountain, but the red flowers only bloom by two springs. There are two springs on the Phoenix Mountain, one is called "Luan Shou", the other is called "Hongtou", these two springs are located in the Yin of Shanyang Mountain, its geographical orientation is in harmony with the way of Yin and Yang, it is to many Taoist predecessors that Phoenix Mountain has "treasure", suitable for practicing feathering. The autumn flowers bloom at the spring, but due to the presence of wild beasts and poisonous snakes in the spring market, coupled with the miasma in the mountains, this autumn flower can only be seen from a distance compared to the summer flower. Of course, those farmers at the foot of Phoenix Mountain naturally don't know that this kind of safflower flower has a slightly yellow heart, if you look closely, supplemented by the cool autumn breeze, just looking at this flower, you can make people feel full of warmth. However, this flower is highly poisonous, and if it is eaten by wild beasts, it will rot and die in less than ten years. If it is eaten by ordinary people, and there is no good way to save it, it will bleed to death in less than three days.
As for this life-saving remedy, it is inseparable from the winter flowers of Phoenix Mountain. The winter flowers of Phoenix Mountain are at the foot of the mountain at the mouth of the white-headed old man, which is about the time when the Great Song Dynasty dominated the world and bloomed in Phoenix Mountain. It is said that in the second year of blooming, the prefect of Yangzhou will play this winter flower in the name of auspiciousness. The biggest difference between the winter flowers of Phoenix Mountain and the spring, summer and autumn seasons is that the winter flowers only bloom after the snow falls and before skiing. Because the heavy snow covers the mountain, it is not easy to go up the mountain, it is the people and the tourists who come to the mountain do not have the slightest chance to go up the mountain to see the true face, most of them can only look at the mountain from afar at the bottom of the mountain, and see a little bright red appear on the snow. But when the snow melts and the ice melts, the flowers disappear without a trace.
But there are always brave people in this world, who are willing to risk their lives just for a glimpse of the beautiful scenery, no matter how the people under the mountain stop these people, these people are also determined to go up the mountain to see the true face of this "snow blossom". Of course, most of these people were found frozen to death halfway when they thawed in the spring, and some of them fell off the cliff, and there were even more corpses that were missing, probably eaten by tigers.
In short, most of those who want to get a glimpse of the true face of winter flowers are gone.
However, on this Phoenix Mountain, there is something more dangerous than a glimpse of the true face of winter flowers.
Phoenix Mountain is about 300 zhang high, near the peak, there is a Taoist temple, although it is old, but from the general appearance, it does not show a sense of obsolescence. The green tiles and red eaves have long been worn away by the years, but the yin and yang fish on the wall of the Taoist hall still uphold the black and white nature.
This Taoist temple is called the "ghost Taoist temple" by the people of Phoenix Mountain, and the legend once lived in a Taoist priest with a blue face and fangs, who was practicing the immortal method hard, so he became not human, and the ghost was not a ghost. If anyone disturbed him, he would go crazy, drooling in the mountains, and as soon as he saw people, he would pounce on them and bite them like wild beasts, so that no one dared to approach this temple.
Of course, if this rumor spreads to the rivers and lakes, many people in the rivers and lakes will probably only scoff at the false rumors. The news of Jianghuai Renxia's seclusion in Phoenix Mountain is not known to everyone in the rivers and lakes, but as long as it is a little older than the people in the rivers and lakes, even if they have not left Shuzhong or the desert in their lives, they have all heard of Wu Qingshan's name.
The reason why Wu Qingshan lived in seclusion in Phoenix Mountain was inseparable from the Yang brothers' battle with Yang Feiqiu. Since that battle, Jianghuai Renxia hung up his sword and left, leaving only the name of "Renxia", and since then he has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and there has been no news at all.
It wasn't until the first year of Xianping that the name Wu Qingshan once again spread in the rivers and lakes, but this time it was not good news.
"Mr. Wu, is that what you are buried here?"
On Phoenix Mountain, behind the "ghost Taoist temple" that is rumored to be "demonic", a new grave that is neither new nor old is full of neatly cut offerings.
In front of the grave, Yang Shuo was closing his eyes and landing on his knees, judging from the expression on his face, there was no sadness or joy, and he was extremely peaceful.
But with the greeting of the uninvited guest, Yang Shuo slowly opened his eyes, and his left hand changed from his knee to the sword on the ground in an instant.
"Gang Leader Yang, don't be so nervous, I'm just a passerby. ”
The man smiled slightly and took off the hat, but it made Yang Shuo's heart suddenly.
It's not that Yang Shuo knows who this person is, but because this person's face is covered with scars, and he doesn't know if he was tortured or something else, but this sudden appearance really surprised Yang Shuo.
Although this person had taken off his hat, he was still covered in a black robe, and Yang Shuo couldn't see what this person was wearing under his black robe, but when he turned his gaze back to this person's face, this face covered with scars really made Yang Shuo dare not look directly again.
"I wonder who your Excellency is?"
Yang Shuo only thought about it for a moment, then made a decision, put down the sword in his hand, stood up and asked. (To be continued.) )
