Chapter 213 Spiritual Jade
"In a few days, I will go into the mountains with Brother Bu, in fact, I also have the purpose of looking for rare flowers, and the flower garden at home is to leave a place for them." Li Zhi specifically mentioned this point, about the nearby mountainous areas, Bu Rigude is a person who knows the bottom.
"There are a lot of them in the mountains, but most of them are ordinary goods, as Mr. Li said, they only appear sporadically, and there is indeed a need for a place to cultivate more!"
"There are many magical things in Lingshan, and I also know that there is a kind of magical clapping tree, which is lush and evergreen all year round, and its magic lies in the fact that as long as someone sings to it, the leaves will clap and applaud like people; If the singing is cheerful and beautiful, the applause will be crisp and loud; If the song is not beautiful, or the melody is contemplative and pathetic, it clasps its hands politely and barely hears the sound. ”
Not only did Li Zhi feel greatly surprised, but Pang Qi probe near him leaned over, "Brother Bu, do you think this kind of clapping tree will have spirituality?" ”
"There have been such statements! I once saw an old hunter in the mountains, and according to him, the clapping tree is a spiritual tree, and this spirituality lies in its ability to communicate with the hearts of the singers under the tree. Twenty years ago, he was just a young and bold young man, with almost no trace of the worldly shadow in his heart, so his singing voice was bright and sunny, so his singing voice ushered in cheerful applause. In the past 20 years, the extraordinary experience has given him a richer and deeper understanding and thinking about life, although this understanding and thinking is necessary for a person to mature, it is after all complex. When this complex state of mind is reflected in words or singing, words are often the voice of the heart or songs are the voice of the heart. Speaking of which, the man really played a song, although it was still the old song twenty years ago, but the mentality was no longer bright and bright, and the clapping tree, with the song into a complex mental process, seemed to forget the mission of applause. ”
The look of surprise on Pang Qi's face kept changing, "How tall is that tree?" ”
Burigud laughed, "Isn't Mrs. Cry thinking about moving back a few trees?" There are more than a dozen trees by the lake at the moment, and I had a similar idea to you, and I took the trouble to dig them up, but here I don't feel like a mountain except for a few times when the wind blows, and I remember the excitement when I found this kind of tree. Under the tree, I sang a cheerful song, and sure enough, as the song sounded, the leaves above my head rattled, and my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard this loud applause. But it's been more than ten years, and if you sing it now, you might get the same situation as the old hunter! The tree itself is not tall, just like Mr. Li's height is up and down, the appearance is really ordinary, if it is not able to bloom red flowers, it has a certain ornamentality, maybe you have forgotten its existence! ”
"The kind of autumn leaves we saw when we came, isn't that the kind of flower?"
"Mrs. Cryer has good eyesight, that kind of red flower is indeed like a leaf, especially after withering, it spreads into a maple leaf, and outsiders think it is a leaf! When you see the clapping tree, you may be disappointed, because its appearance is really ordinary like a taller and larger bush, and the branches and branches are not distributed regularly at all, and they are like a mess of grass! ”
Li Zhi interjected: "Cry, we can dig a few trees here and go back, so that the yard will be more red and vibrant!" ”
Burigude nodded, "The dozen or so plants before have become hundreds now, and it doesn't matter if you dig more!" ”
Li Zhi smiled, "Our mountain yard is not as huge as Brother Bu's here, and no matter how much there is, there is no place to place it." ”
"Mr. Li, Mrs. Qi'er seems to have a great interest in natural things, and it can be seen that she is not just a simple fondness for these, but should have a deep affection!"
Li Zhi roughly explained to him, but he didn't expect Burigude to single his right knee, and his right arm naturally drooped, and then covered his right hand in front of his chest, and bowed down at the same time, giving Pang Ti a grand ceremony with distinctive national characteristics.
"Mrs. Cry also knows that we nomads are a people on horseback, the most respectful of nature, there is nothing that can become a scenery in the vast grassland, as long as it is green plants, we regard it as a gift from heaven! Therefore, our hearts are full of reverence for nature, and we treat it with respect and love as we do with life, and it is clear that Lady Cry comes from the infinite vastness of the world, or perhaps it is the person who has been sent to the world by the Holy Goth Khan as the Immortal Heaven! ”
Pang Qi didn't want to accept this heavy gift, and Changshengtian and Goth Khan were also insensitive in the mouth of Buri Gude, and hid behind Li Zhi on one side, in her eyes, the man she was holding in her hand was everything to her, so she didn't care where she came from and why she was incarnated.
Li Zhi helped her cover up, "Brother Bu, she can't afford your respect, and she's only twelve years old, don't scare her!" ”
Bu Rigude also hurriedly put away his previous solemnity and diverted the topic by remarking, but Li Zhineng felt that this person's eyes didn't dare to look directly at Pang Qi.
Immortal Heaven is the supreme god of this nomadic people, and Goth Khan is the most worshiped master of heaven, perhaps because for thousands of years, facing the cruel and benevolent nature directly, this people have developed a humble and respectful character, this kind of tolerance and patience in their vision is not all, heaven and earth are naturally a broader existence.
And in their traditional concept, understand that the world is by no means perfect, and people are not the masters of this world, believe that the road is silent, the way of heaven is like the sun and the moon, in their eyes, it is ridiculous to be trapped in the gains and losses between people and people, it is better to treat people uprightly, survive bloodily, and look at the society in front of them with perseverance and tolerance.
Soon Qingqi and the others picked out a few, all of which were between two and three meters of strange and strange stones, and the reason for choosing them was the need for a pool in their yard.
Before leaving, Li Zhi selected some fine broken stones, because they were very similar to a kind of jade ore, with green material but extremely light color, he just wanted to retrieve a few pieces and open them to see if they were valuable.
Back in the outer room, Burigud went to find people, and his character was screamed by Pang to find the clapping trees, but by this time they already had another name: Deciduous Red Qiao.
When they came to the other side of the lake, they saw that they were as inconspicuous as ordinary trees, and if it were not for the presence of safflowers, they might have been ignored as weeds and shrubs.
Li Zhi and Pang Qi glanced at each other, but they didn't find that there was any spiritual energy in it, if that kind of clapping spiritual tree really existed, it should be because there was another spiritual substance underground.
Qi Qige casually sang a beautiful melody, a wide atmosphere, and a strong and distinct national style song, and Pang Qi was a little disappointed: "Alas, perhaps only its original residence will manifest." ”
Li Zhi praised, "The word manifestation is used properly, if you don't go to that place, you may never see its original spirituality, I'll go and explore it another day!" ”
Wait until someone shouts on the other side of the lake, a few people returned, and the four old Wu Tou who have not come with them have come out, they are invited by the Song family to drink at home that day, because his blacksmith shop, Lao Wu Tou put forward a lot of suggestions for improvement.
And Li Zhi did not show his smelting process, some of the advanced forging technology, and he explained to Lao Wu Tou that he specially proposed that only when that day Song really had that superb forging technology would he decide whether to cooperate with him.
The strange stones selected by Qingqi were carried and tied up by Bu Rigude, and the group were all tall and stout men, obviously some active soldiers.
Four or five huge bamboo rafts also appeared on the surface of the lake, each with two pole bearers occupying two ends of the pole.
An adjutant named Has-Erdun led people with Li Zhi and the others.
The lake water is extremely clear, it is not deep, it is not shallow, it is a collection of mountain springs. At the very edge, it gurgles like a stream, and with a few stones, you can wade across it; The deep place is like a deep pool, crystal clear and crystal clear.
The deepest part of the lake is more like a quiet lake, and its water surface has the reflection of a thousand hills, projecting on this clear and tranquil, beautiful and wide lake, as if it is integrated with nature, making the vast lake more wide.
Before reaching the river under the mountain, you can faintly see that the flowing water is like glazed white jade, and the pebbles at the bottom of the water are exposed below, and there is a large area gathered every twenty or thirty meters.
Qi Qige introduced: "There are more of this kind of white jade stone outside, the really beautiful and transparent five-color stone only exists at the bottom of the river, it is very strange, once it crosses the mountain wall, there is only this pure white left!" ”
Not long after, his call came from the bamboo raft that Has-Erdun was riding: "Mr. Li, let's enter the two bamboo rafts first, and you and a few ladies will wait for a while, there are not many places inside!" ”
Li Zhi nodded, Granny Xia and the others were all on this bamboo row, and they guarded the girls, so he could go deep into the water to investigate.
Because he has already noticed that the faint aura is the five-colored jade coming out of the underwater in the distance, such as the glazed white jade before, although there is no aura, it is a genuine natural white jade, that is, the most precious and pure white jade in the mutton fat jade.
It didn't take long, just the bamboo row was close to the mountain wall, everyone could see the deep dark water bottom, which had been reflected like a picture curtain by the colorful light, red like the beginning of the blood, yellow like the twilight haze You Lan, green like the blue water Wodan, and the void white often connected with the flow of the glow and the brilliant color, and the black like the hidden form in the deep dark light, the hidden brilliance and the light.
The bottom of the water was more than ten zhang deep, and after several insistences, it made Granny Xia and the others put away the intention of blocking, but they were still accompanied by Lao Liu, and Fang Yun Li Zhi personally went into the water.
Guy was once blunt and famous, and some people have drowned in the water before, despite being tied with thick ropes and all kinds of deep-water fishing gear.
The lake is too deep for one thing, the more you want to go to the depths, the more the water quality tends to be strangely cold, ordinary people can't dive two or three zhang deep at all, only those who have the body to cultivate, can rely on the complete equipment in front of them, and one or two times out of ten can touch the bottom luck.
Originally, the people arranged by Buri Gude were on their way to come, but seeing Li Zhi's insistence on sneaking in, the three girls had no obvious objections, and in their anxiety, Li Zhi and the others had already stripped off and went into the water.
In the lake, it was only less than ten zhang, and Tong Lao Liu could not hold on because he was resisting the cold while controlling his breathing, so he was pushed back to the surface by Li Yi, and he turned around and continued to dive.
The chill in the water increased suddenly, the skin felt as if it was dangerous, the muscle fibers were contracting, and the joints of the limbs were almost unbending.
But there is true qi, a flow can make the tense muscles to the limit soothe, he does not use the true qi all the time, there is a deliberate intention to hone his will, and a wisp of true qi in his body is long and long, and there is no problem to stay under the water for two incense sticks.
Soon the five-colored color is close in front of you, such as the flowing glow and the gorgeous Hanhai Qi illusion is more and more profound, into the bottom of the lake, a pebble-like oval white jade is within reach, take it only to feel the moss dense on it, in the hand smooth and abnormal, the weight is comparable to ordinary stones, but the same as other four-color jade has a slight aura overflow.
This kind of white jade is as old and thick as a callus, the jade is delicate and soft, hard and tough, cold to the hand, but not to the bone, and his true qi only touches it instantly, and swallows the aura in it cleanly.
As soon as the aura disappeared, the original vivid light and color of the white jade suddenly withered a little, but it did not lose the original quality of the jade.
This also gave Li Zhi a wake-up call, and when he started with a second piece of pitch-black inky jade, he had already restricted his true qi devouring thoughts, and when he took it in his hand, he suddenly felt that the stone was much heavier than the white jade, almost three times as heavy.
