Chapter 165: The Hospitable Man
When he set off again, Qingyun held a fist-sized red stone in his hand, and he was elated that the old clam was really docile to his fellow juniors, and actually paid a stone to offset the string of money of the little golden toad.
Su Jing was also happy for the little golden toad, and said with a smile: "The reward of the giant clam must be extraordinary, what kind of treasure is this?"
"If what I expected is correct, this thing should be a 'mirage', if it can be refined to obtain the law, it can be refined into a great illusion mirror supernatural power. Qingyun smiled from ear to ear, and after answering, the person turned around in mid-air, and he couldn't count how many times he had given a salute, and bowed to the pair of lakes in the distance: "The junior has thanked the old man for the reward again!"
After getting the benefits, the title has become much more intimate.
The wind blows, the clear waves in the lake are slightly swinging, the old clam is urged by the green clouds when he opens his eyes, and there is no need to worry when he closes his eyes, it is estimated that from now to it completely closes his eyes, at least it will take more than ten years, and then the lake will swim in the fish and lotus.
In addition to the fun of the practice itself, this is hidden in shijie, the magic and weirdness that are not visible to the discerning eye, and it is not an attractive beauty!
Everyone flew across the pimple mountain, but it was only a short time after it flew, Qingyun, who had been fiddling with the 'mirage', suddenly said 'ouch', Qiu Ping'an cared about the mother-in-law, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Qingyun was fine, she was still smiling: "The old clam gave me something good, but unfortunately I can't use it." ”
Wu Xia flew beside the two of them, and when he heard this, he interjected: "Then you are still smiling so happily?"
Wu Shang asked at the same time: "Why can't you use it?"
"I can't use it, but Mirage is still a treasure. The baby is in my hand, and I am happy from the bottom of my heart!" The little golden toad was very happy, and went to answer Wu Shangyi's question: "Toad frogs are a genus, most of them are water elements, and some have water and soil or water and gold double genera, like our three-legged toad, this vein, it gives birth to water and gold. But this old clam is special, it's a fire monster! No wonder he's hiberning in the south. ”
The mirage of the old clam of the fire line, the little toad of the golden water can't be refined. Holding the treasure in his hand, Qingyun, who felt happy in his heart, actually did not hesitate at all, and threw the mirage towards Su Jing: "You use the best things in the fire line, I gave it to you!"
You can't let the baby fall to the ground. Su Jing stretched out his hand to catch it, and at the same time shook his head and smiled: "I can't accept this, when I find a place to settle down, I will help you refine it, and then make the talisman method, you won't have trouble using it in the future." ”
"I am the body of gold and water, the cultivation of gold and water, water and fire do not tolerate fire and gold, even if you help me refine it, I will make me uncomfortable if I bring this mirage jade, needless to say. Put it away. Little Jin Toad not only inherited from Daddy the fierce arrogance of digging ginseng in the dense forests of the Northeast, but also passed on the heroic generosity of his friends, waving his hands and laughing: "Besides, this treasure is not for you, I still have something to ask for." ”
Su Jingying said: "You talk about it first." What can be done must be done. ”
"Let's get back to it. Qingyun smiled, and said more for the time being
The pimple mountain stretched for seven hundred miles, but everyone flew across the air and traveled extremely fast, and it didn't take long to cross the giant clam, and then the eyes suddenly opened up!
There's no way not to be 'cheerful'. Behind the pimple mountain are steep cliffs.
A cliff is nothing, but what if it spreads across the horizon. From west to east, the edge of the cliff stretches far and wide, straddling the border between the Southern Wilderness and Middle-earth.
The southern wilderness is below, the middle earth is above, and the drop is 700 zhang.
Shijie in front of him, just so unbuffered, stiff and abruptly low. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can step from Middle-earth into the Southern Wilderness in just one step, but it is also this step, and you will fall seven white feet!
Although he had seen the description in the codex, no one could help but be shocked when he saw such a scene with his own eyes.
In front of the Southern Wilderness, Su Jing took a deep breath, nodded and greeted his companions, urged the cloud to fall slowly, and soon landed on the ground, stepped on the Southern Wilderness and looked back, the stone cliff and iron wall towered like a cloud, and the middle earth shijie was high!
At the beginning of the Southern Wilderness, there was no room for carelessness, the crows scattered around the guard, Su Jing took Shen Lianzi, Fan Qiao and Qiu Ping'an to walk on the ground, Granny Qiu led the suspension of others in the air, and the two people and horses responded to each other.
The first three hundred miles were uneventful, of course, the conditions in the Southern Wilderness were harsh and abnormal: in the air, there would often be poisonous fog and miasma, and the hidden poison would spread with the wind; the ground was wet and dense, and the poisonous insects could be seen everywhere, and the dark swamp was hidden, and if you didn't pay attention, you would swallow people up to the bone, but these troubles that were fatal to mortals were not harmful to Su Jing and his party.
No one dares to take it lightly, the simplest truth: just because of the harsh environment, the Southern Wilderness is not qualified to become the 'Ancient Wilderness Domain, Killing Blood Territory' in the eyes of countless Middle-earth cultivators, and in the depths of the wilderness ahead, I don't know how many bones of the Middle-earth Great Cultivators are buried.
Three hundred miles later, Granny Qiu in the sky suddenly made a warning signal, and the spiritual sense exuded by Su Jing and the others also sensed that on a gentle high ground behind the dense forest, there was a village of considerable scale.
The natives have a tan complexion, a bark knot, and a big leaf as a skirt, Su Jing sent Lingjue over to investigate, and there was not the slightest sign of true yuan on the other party, just ordinary people.
They are scrawny and skinny, and you know that life is hard just by looking at them, but these natives talk elegantly and pay attention to etiquette, and the younger generations who are playing happily will definitely stand up steadily, and kneel down respectfully to say hello when they see adults; when the two meet on the road, they look like they are in a hurry, but they have to tidy up their bark and grass clothes, hold hands, and smile and salute. After that, I'll go and do my own thing
Don't say that the barbarian shijie, even the ancient city of the Han family, is a holy place for education, and they can't be so paranoid about etiquette, and what is even more surprising is that they are all Han etiquette, and they also speak in ancient Chinese dialect.
This village is not in the codex of the predecessors, it is no wonder that Yuan Chaonian traveled to the Southern Wilderness tens of thousands of years ago, and the vicissitudes of life, compared to when he arrived, the Southern Wilderness has changed a lot.
The natives in front of him were harmless, Su Jing didn't hesitate too much, and walked out of the dense forest to the front of the village. Suddenly, outsiders arrived, and the humble village suddenly quieted down. However, looking at the expression of the native, it was mainly an accident, and there was no fear. Soon, the middle-aged man closest to Su Jing and the others greeted him, and before speaking, he gave a long sigh: "The descendants of the Hetan family have seen Mr. Xian first, and Tang suddenly asked you what is your business for visiting? ”
Su Jing was good at reading when he was a teenager, and if he wanted to bite the text and chew the words, he was far better than the other party, but he really felt that something was wrong to go to such a place to 'red tape', so he just responded politely: "Su Jing, a disciple of the mountain, and his companions, passed by the treasure land on the way to the hike and saw Uncle Nong. "I'm not used to how to look at Lishan, anyway, Su Jing still regards himself as a disciple of Lishan
"I think that the mountain must be a blessed land of the fairy country, a good side of the beautiful water and soil, only to see Mr. Xian's demeanor will have a glimpse of the magnificent scenery of the mountain. "The native surnamed Nong didn't know where Lishan was, but he still smiled humbly, and then beckoned his fellow villagers to come and meet 'Mr. Xian'.
After a specious greeting, Su Jing and Nong Xian talked, and soon figured out that this ethnic group of natives had settled here for thousands of years, almost eight hundred years ago, a white-bearded old man from Middle Earth passed by, I don't know what this old master thought, stayed here for decades, instilled the magic of indoctrination in these natives, taught them Han rites and Chinese, and continued to go south. When he left, he left a message that if they could really 'open up the edification,' he would take them with him when he came back to live comfortably in the land of abundance.
In the eyes of these natives, that cultivator is no different from an immortal, his words are the will of the immortal Buddha, passed down from generation to generation, and the entire tribe is cautious and observant, hoping that one day the old immortal will come back and take them away.
Su Jing diverted the topic and asked the natives if there were any hot springs, hot marshes and other fire-like places nearby. At this moment, everyone has entered the Southern Wilderness, and the first thing to do is to find a suitable place for fire cultivation, and there is no relevant record in Yuan Chaonian's travelogue codex, which is also the reason why Su Jing visited the village. It's better to get a rough clue than to spread your net and look around.
This question can make it difficult for Nong Xian, he can't answer it, but the indigenous nature is simple and enthusiastic, and he took Su Jing to the ancestral temple and summoned the elders of the whole clan to discuss together.
There is no need to ask, how many natives who are not stronger than savages will build an ancestral shrine in a similar way, which is naturally the idea of the old master eight hundred years ago. It is worth mentioning that the so-called elders in the clan are only in their forties at best, which shows that the life of the indigenous people is hard and the life expectancy is short.
The gossip was really remembered by a person, in the southwest direction, according to the 'seventy days run' distance, there is a bare mountain, according to the word of mouth of the seniors in the clan, someone has seen that the mountain has a hot steam, from a distance as if it has just come out of the pot.
Su Jing asked carefully, and the other party began to shake his head blankly, how he listened to how the ancestors passed down from generation to generation.
Anyway, that mountain is worth exploring, Su Jing said goodbye, not thinking that the natives were really enthusiastic, Nong Xian took his hand and refused to let go no matter what, he must invite the guests to have dinner at home before leaving.
The natives are simple, sincere, and truly sincere, Su Jing smiled happily: "I'm bothering Uncle Nong." ”
Nong Xian was overjoyed, pulled Su Jing and walked to the door of the house into the simple courtyard, an old man with a sixtieth armor was repairing the roof, Nong Xian let go of Su Jing, knelt down to the old man and saluted: "Daddy, there are guests coming to the door, I want to eat at home tonight." ”
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this: "When you come to the door, you must be hospitable." Trembling down the ladder, Su Jing hurriedly took a step up to help, for fear that he would fall down.
The old man, Su Jing and the others also made a literary and crepe ceremony, and then stretched out their hands to invite everyone to the house, and said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, please wait a while, the meal will be ready soon." After saying that, he nodded to his son and asked him to take care of the guests, while he took his other son and went to the kitchen.
Su Jing said to Nong Xian: "I can't imagine that I have to bother the old man to cook by himself, today we are blessed." ”
"Mr. Su misunderstood, it wasn't his father who cooked, but his old man who went to bathe and wash himself. Nong Xian said with a smile: "Originally, it was discussed to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival, but today the guests arrived, so they ate in advance." (To be continued)
