Yun Kong didn't have time to inform Liang Daobin, so he couldn't wait to lift the Xiancha into the sky and fly towards the holy mountain in the northeast.
There are no clouds blocking the Holy Mountain in the early morning, and the three peaks are very clear.
Not far from the coast, they entered the sky above the tropical rain forest. The rain forest is full of towering trees, and the tree tops and crowns are spread out into an endless stretch of green, exuding a cool aura, as if there are countless streams of life flowing inside.
Hongye told Yunkong that when she brought Kunlunnu and his wife back to Boni, they first went from the small town to Quanzhou Port to wait for the merchant ships heading to Boni. After going to sea, they stopped and stopped, stopping at four ports to trade goods, which cost a lot of money. It took half a year to arrive in Boni.
During this year, Hongye learned their language.
They told Hongye how they were abducted and sold to the Tang Dynasty. The person who deceived them was a businessman who came specially to collect dipterocarp.
"Dipterocarps?" Yunkong knew that dipterocarps had been a valuable medicine since the Tang Dynasty.
The red leaves pointed to the forest at their feet: "There are many dipterocarp trees here, which the Tibetan people call Kabur trees. They are huge trees that ooze fragrant sap." Yunkong knew that Liang Daobin also collected the information from the Tibetan people. The dipterocarps are then given to my cousin to transport back.
It takes fifty or sixty years for Dipterocarps to grow from seedlings to mature trees. The Tibetan people split the trees and can get the solid incense in the trees, which is called "Meihua Nao". It is the best Dipterocarps. There are also wood. The juice steamed from the debris condenses into crystallized "cooked brains", which are available in different grades, such as sunao, rice brain, cang nao, and oil nao. They are generally called "borneols" and the price of shipping them back to the Song Dynasty is very good.
"At that time, those who abducted them asked if they had heard of the 'King of Dipterocarps'." Hongye said, "It is said to be a thousand-year-old tree located deep in the mountains."
"The thousand-year-old tree may have become a fairy." Yun Kong couldn't help but look down at the endless tropical rain forest below the fairy tree. The tree spirits who chased him when he was a child were the tree spirits. They would use their roots to form a communication network across the entire continent underground. I wonder if the tree spirits in this southern land would do the same?
"They promised to give them a generous bride price and took them to the forest to search. After searching for a long time without finding their whereabouts, they got him and his wife drunk and took them on a boat to the Song Dynasty." Hongye said, "Brother Bai Pu told me after hearing this, Master ...Wusheng also mentioned Dipterocarpus King."
"What did Wu Sheng say?"
"He said dipterocarp could get rid of certain things, certain... things he put into our bodies."
"What did he put into your bodies?"
"He said it, but we couldn't understand it."
Hongye and Baipu rode a fairy chariot deep into the rainforest, traveling through the humid forest filled with giant trees for a whole month, and finally found a thousand-year-old dipterocarp tree surrounded by three people at the foot of the holy mountain.
"Finally found it." They parked Xiancha under the tree. Bai Pu immediately stretched out his five claws and used his deep internal strength to dig a hole in the trunk.
He dug out a small piece of the tree body, and his hands were immediately filled with a strong aroma. The strong aroma assaulted his nostrils. However, when he was about to continue working, he found that he could not use his inner strength, and something seemed to be lost from his body.
"It's true!" Bai Pu didn't know whether to be happy or scared.
"Brother Bai, please don't touch her again." Hongye was worried that Bai Pu's power would disappear. After all, it was her who wanted to die, not Bai Pu.
Bai Pu took out the ax from Xiancha: "I'll try it first. If it works, I'll switch to you!"
The two of them each took an ax and a knife, and after half an hour, they finally managed to open up a wound that could fit one person in. At this moment, their clothes were covered with the scent of dipterocarps. Hongye felt dizzy when he smelled it, and it seemed that even the flow of blood Also slower.
Bai Pu was about to stuff himself into the tree hole, but Hong Ye quickly held him back: "No, Brother Bai."
Bai Pu shook off her hand and quickly squeezed himself into the tree hole: "Hongye, if it doesn't work, if you are still immortal," Hongye looked at him blankly, "You will forget about Yunkong, forever. Stay with me, okay?"
Hong Ye was struggling in her heart. She didn't like this embarrassing feeling. She wanted to pull Bai Pu out.
Bai Pu can't come out.
The injured dipterocarp tree seemed to be spiritual, and suddenly secreted a large amount of sticky sap, flowing onto Bai Pu's neck, shoulders, and arms, wrapping him up bit by bit.
Bai Pu was shocked and tried to break free from the tree hole, but found that he was getting weaker and weaker surrounded by the fragrance and had no strength to struggle. He had always been invincible, and had never been so helpless. He could only look at the red leaves in fear, unable to say a word.
Hongye tried his best to pull Baipu out, but his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't use any strength at all.
Not only that, Bai Pu's appearance suddenly aged a lot, as if he wanted to repay all the years he had stolen. Wrinkles spread on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye, and wrinkles climbed up the red leaves and caught Bai Pu. The arms made her tender skin rough and loose.
The red leaves didn't bury themselves for a while, but they continued to try hard to pull the white pu out.
Bai Pu suddenly stared straight behind Hong Ye. Hong Ye turned around in a hurry and realized that they were surrounded.
There is a big round fur ball at the back, covered with long brown-black hair, covered with branches and fallen leaves, with two red eyes exposed among the long hair. The sour smell on his body can be smelled from a distance, and even the scent of dipterocarp can be smelled. The odor cannot be completely covered up.
There were six or seven big furballs like him standing around.
The big furball muttered something, but a loud noise came from the mountain, like huge footsteps, and even the ground shook.
A dark shadow covered the sun, and Hongye was surprised to see three huge figures. They were really giants! These are foreign objects that have never been seen in Middle-earth! I wonder if it’s a monster or a god?
Three furry giants slowly approached them, and the big fur balls also rolled their bodies, gradually shrinking the encirclement.
Hong Ye wanted to attack with a flying needle, but her fingers were so weak that she couldn't even hold the needle firmly.
The giant swung his huge palm and cracked a piece of Hongye's head. Blood spattered immediately. The skull and the brain with the eyeballs drew a long parabola in the air and flew to the ground among the fallen leaves.
When Bai Pu saw this, he wanted to shout madly, but the dipterocarp sap had already wrapped around his body and rushed up to his nose. He quickly closed his breath, eyes, and mouth, except for his ears, which he could not close.
Hongye struggled to get up and looked for Xiancha with her remaining eye. Blood kept covering her eyeballs. She kept wiping the blood that obscured her vision with her hands. She finally reached Xiancha before it was destroyed by the mountain god. , got into Xiancha in embarrassment, started the anti-gravity engine, and escaped at full speed.
At this moment, she only thought about Yun Kong.
※※※
Yun Kong looked at Hongye's clothes, and there were still dried blood clots and soft tissue fragments on his shoulders.
They took the Xiancha and searched around the holy mountain. They first went to the site where they were attacked yesterday. They saw that the thousand-year-old dipterocarp had been cut off, and the aroma from the broken tree root was very strong within a mile.
The ground was covered with fallen leaves, so no footprints were left, and the surrounding trees were not damaged. This shows that they were very careful to protect the surrounding environment when transporting the tree trunks.
Hong Ye tried her best to search Bai Pu's mind, and finally felt his weak message, which was heading towards the top of the Holy Mountain.
"Let's go to the peak to have a look first." She sped up and flew toward the peak. As she flew higher and higher, the temperature gradually dropped. It was especially cold in the upper air, just like the temperature in the late autumn of Middle Earth. Coupled with the thin air at high altitudes, Yun Kong, who was gradually aging, felt uncomfortable, so he lowered the flying height of Xiancha and made it fly close to the top of the tree.
Even close to the treetops, the dense foliage makes it difficult for them to see the ground below.
Yun Kong pondered: This is the world of monsters and gods, and perhaps it is not something humans should break into.
No wonder the elders of the Fan people did not allow the tribesmen to trespass without permission, presumably to avoid destroying the harmony between the two worlds.
As long as you don't land, it doesn't count as invading their territory, right?
But he was worried, how close would he need to be to offend their world?
Or would it offend them even in the air?
As we flew higher and higher, the trees gradually became shorter and shorter, turning from tall giant trees into forests, which gradually became sparse, and then into bushes. Finally, only gray hard rocks were left, with occasional moss growing in the cracks of the stones.
Hongye can still feel Bai Pu's weak but sharp heart. Although it is intermittent, the direction has not changed.
It's been a day, I wonder what they will do to Bai Pu?
