"Get up. The middle-aged man raised his hand, and a strong lifting force lifted me up, as if a pair of hands dragged my arms up, which has reached the point of perfection for the control of the void, and I don't know when I will be able to reach such a level.

"Actually, I didn't teach you anything, this gale song is a practice you learned yourself, and I didn't teach you. The middle-aged man looked at me and said, "I'm just interested in this exercise, so I just thought about it." ”

"But in any case, this exercise has reached the point of perfection after being improved by the predecessors at this moment. ”

"Hmm. He smiled and stroked his beard, and said, "Let's go, take you for a walk, since you have come to Xianzhuju, I invite you to eat the specialties here." ”

I'm also curious, it's all bamboo, what's the specialty?

The further you go, the more people there are, and from time to time you can see the houses built of bamboo, which is a feeling of returning to nature, which is extremely comfortable.

As soon as those people saw the middle-aged man, they all shouted: "Hello Elder Qingsan." ”

"Elder Qingsan, who is this young man?"

"This young man is quite handsome, is he the son-in-law that the elder brought back from outside?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Qingsan hurriedly scolded: "My daughter is still young, go and go, and go to work." ”

I saw that the group of women were busy in a pool, and several people stepped on something like a hammer with their feet, like a seesaw, and stepped on the head of the hammer in the pool, that is, a big stone, and then fell.

After falling, there was some muddy slurry, but it was green.

"Senior, what is this?" I looked into the pool, and the pool was full of paste, exuding the smell of bamboo.

"Bamboo pulp!"

"What for?" I asked, curious.

"Papermaking. ”

It dawned on me that before wood pulp was widely used, bamboo pulp was indeed used to make paper.

But such paper will be coarse, not as delicate as wood pulp.

This kind of coarse paper is generally used to make gold paper, that is, the kind of paper money used to burn incense and worship.

There are also Taoist priests who draw talismans, most of which are also this kind of paper.

Unexpectedly, Xianzhuju still retains this way of making paper, perhaps because the fairy world has not yet used wood pulp to make paper.

"Doesn't the fairy world make paper from wood pulp yet?" I asked casually.

"Yes. Qing San replied in the affirmative.

"Oh, that's because there are no trees in Xianzhuju, so you can only use bamboo to make paper, right?" I thought about it, it should be this reason.

"It's not. He denied it and asked me, "Do you know what this paper is for?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but the purpose of paper is to write, and in addition, it is used to burn, and to wipe your butt when you go to the toilet." ”

Flutter ...... The fathers and daughters on the side laughed heartlessly.

Qing San glared at me and said, "The fairy bamboo paper that was made so hard, you take it to wipe your buttocks, aren't you afraid of hemorrhoids?"

My face twitched slightly, will this immortal have hemorrhoids?

"Remember, the paper produced by Xianzhu Residence is incomparably precious, and it is hard to find outside, this kind of paper has spirituality, and the success rate and power of the talisman have increased dramatically, so the people outside have a huge demand for Xianzhu paper, which is provided by us here, and we exchange it for the resources we need. ”

"Oh, I see. I nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat. ”

I continued to follow Qingsan to a market with many bamboo huts.

"Elder Qingsan. The others nodded their heads in greeting.

After we found a bamboo pavilion and sat down, he said to Xiao Er: "Two bamboo tube rice, a plate of fried bamboo shoots with green peppers, a plate of mushrooms, a can of bamboo soup, and a pot of bamboo leaf wine." ”

"Okay, here we go. ”

Xiao Er was quickly served, a few very light dishes......

Looking at the food on the table, I can understand what a specialty is, which is a meal made of bamboo, bamboo tube rice, bamboo shoots, bamboo sunflower, bamboo leaf green wine......

"It smells so good. I exclaimed.

"Eat, you can't eat this outside. Qing San picked up the chopsticks first, and this bowl of chopsticks is naturally made of bamboo.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, relying on the bamboo can only eat bamboo, but they have been eating bamboo shoots and there is no meat, can this stand it?

Immortals don't matter, but I see that the women who make paper are ordinary people.

I took a mouthful of wooden barrel rice into my mouth, and the fragrance of bamboo permeated my mouth, leaving a fragrance on my lips and teeth, which is what I said.

When I was a child, I also ate bamboo rice, but the taste is not as strong as this, and there is a breath of qi in this, fairy energy.

After all, this bamboo tube is the bamboo tube of fairy bamboo.

I didn't dare to gobble it up, but chewed it slowly and savored it carefully, never like today, for fear of swallowing it directly and wasting the process of taste.

The same is true for several other dishes, all of which are the same taste.

The wine was very fragrant and not strong, and I, who couldn't drink, drank several glasses.

After eating a meal for two hours, Qing San didn't urge, just smiled slightly and said, "How does it taste?"

"I can't put it into words, I just want to remember this moment, maybe I won't be able to eat this kind of meal again. "I'll be honest.

"It's fate. Qing San said these four words, and then said: "Let's go, take you to my house for a walk." ”

"Okay. "When you are full of wine and food, you will take me home, is this really treating me as a son-in-law?

His home is more classy than the outside, and he is an elder anyway.

His home has a bamboo fence, and the fence encloses a courtyard, and there is a pavilion in the yard, and there are tables and chairs in the pavilion.

Qingsan didn't let me make a sound, carefully pushed open the fence, led me in, and came to the edge of the pavilion lightly.

But I saw a young woman, in her early thirties, who was staring carefully at the girl beside her, who was holding a brush and drawing symbols on the paper.

The brush is stained with vermilion paint and travels on the yellow paper, not fast, but in one go.

When the pen was lifted, the mother and daughter had a happy smile on their faces: "It's done." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Qingsan applauded, and I applauded too.

The two girls noticed us, and they looked at me in surprise at the same time and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Shen Sha. ”

Qing San hurriedly explained: "The patriarch asked him to come in, let me take him for a walk." ”

"Oh. The two girls nodded, and the girl said happily: "Dad, you see, you will learn a talisman again." ”

"Well, yes, come on, Ye'er. Qingsan touched her little head dotingly.

Ye'er looks like she is only twelve or thirteen years old, the age of a junior high school student.

It's too early to recruit a son-in-law......

"You come with me. He gave me a wink, and then walked towards the bamboo house.

I quickly followed and entered one of the bamboo huts.

Looks like it's supposed to be a study!

The bamboo shelves were filled with books bound in threads, and he said to me, "You can read the books here as you like, when the patriarch lets you go, when it will be over, and how much you can remember, it depends on your talent." ”

"Thank you, seniors. "My heart was pounding, and this was a great opportunity for me.

Although I don't know what the contents of these books are, they are certainly good stuff.

I, who have never liked to read, are now full of interest in these books, and I can even say that it is an impulse to remember them all.
