Qingmei came over and said: "I heard from Jiong Sheng that there is a red chain snake here. The meat is delicious and rich in spiritual energy. If you eat it, your teeth will turn black."
Lu Cheng said: "No matter how spiritual energy you have, you can't eat it. The teeth will turn black and it will be too ugly."
"What if eating 10 snakes can increase your skill by one level?"
"How is that possible?"
"Jongsheng said it is indeed possible. He just collected more than 500 red chain snakes and put them into a bag."
"What I'm more concerned about is, if you eat a snake, will your teeth turn black?"
"Jiong Sheng said that the Jiu tribe has a kind of spiritual water that can wash away the black color."
"What kind of spiritual water? Have you asked?"
"I asked, but he didn't say."
"Forget it, let's not eat it for now and wait until the future."
Wu Sheng selected three young men in the Black Teeth Kingdom, collected the tributes, and continued on his way.
We walked north from Black Teeth Country for ten days and arrived at a magical place.
"In the wilderness, there is a mountain named Nie Yao Huo Fang. There are buttresses on it with pillars three hundred miles apart, and their leaves are like mustard. There is a valley called Wenyuan Valley. There are buttresses on Tang Valley. One is called Fangzhi, and the other is Fangzhi. When they come out, they are all carried in the crow."
"There is a Tang Valley below. There is a hibiscus above the Tang Valley. I bathed in it for ten days, and it is in the north of Black Teeth. In the water, there is a big tree. It lives on the lower branch for nine days and on the upper branch for one day. The concubine of the Rain Master is in the north. She is a black man with two hands. Each man holds a snake, a green snake in his left ear, and a red snake in his right ear. One day in the north of the tenth day, there is a man with a black body and a human face, and each man holds a turtle."
Lu Cheng saw the legendary Tanggu and Fusang trees.
He looked up at the huge hibiscus tree, which was like a wall, rising straight up and out of reach. No matter how hard he opened his eyes, he could never see the top of the tree!
He was shocked in his heart: "How can there be such a tall tree? Could it be the pillar of heaven in this world?"
He looked down at the deep canyon, where steam was steaming like boiling hot soup.
"Where is the Golden Crow? Is it still on the treetop?"
Because the tree was too tall, Lu Cheng couldn't see the Golden Crow.
At this time, Wu Sheng spoke: "The hibiscus tree blooms once every 30,000 years, and bears fruit once every 30,000 years. The mulberries fall to the ground and are buried in the soil. They will not decay for three thousand years. We will stay here for ten days! You all can find them for me." Mulberry! There will be a big reward if you find it! One mulberry will be rewarded with a thousand jade coins, and three mulberries will be exchanged for one 'Shenglong Pill'!"
Lu Cheng was taken aback and thought: "The reward is heavy enough, which means that the mulberries of the hibiscus tree are extremely valuable. Can it greatly improve one's power? Or is it used to prepare some kind of rare medicine?"
He searched for the knowledge released by the two small trees in his mind, which shrouded the depths of the marrow sea like clouds. It took him a quarter of an hour to find the hibiscus wood.
The roots, root bark, twigs, sap, mulberry leaves, leaf juice, and mulberries of the hibiscus tree can all be used for medicinal purposes. Even the parasites growing on its branches can be used as medicine. It can be said that the whole body is full of treasures.
Lu Cheng also found some incomplete formulas for elixirs in his mind. For example, the 'Lingwu Pill' taken by spirit witches uses the mulberries of hibiscus wood as the main medicine.
But how to find hibiscus mulberries? If it were easy to find, someone would have found it long ago. How could it be kept until now?
Lu Cheng used Zhanwang Qi Technique, but could not see any traces.
The aura technique is only the basic spell of the great witch. As a spiritual witch, Wu Zong should be proficient in this spell. If the Qi Watching Technique was effective, Wu Zang would have taken action himself.
Many young men and warriors, as well as the girls, began to move around, looking for mulberries.
Someone began to dig into the ground with swords, hoping to dig three feet into the ground and find the mulberries.
Qingmei walked over quietly and asked, "Brother, let me help you."
Lu Cheng said: "Wait a moment, let me think about it." He was still searching for the information in his mind. The information was entangled with each other, as if shrouded in a layer of fog. He wanted to dig out the information he needed.
After a while, someone shouted: "Haha, I dug it!" Everyone turned to look and saw a warrior holding a fist-sized mulberry in his hand. It was black and shiny, and it looked like the sun was shining on it. Enter Moyu!
Lu Cheng glanced at it from a few feet away, his eyes were stimulated by the reflection of the ink jade, and suddenly the clouds in his mind dispersed! He found a key piece of information: "The fruit of hibiscus is a sacred object that hides itself. When the golden crow flies, it becomes light ink and slightly purple."
Such a simple sentence basically means that when the Golden Crow flies up, you can only see the faint purple-black energy.
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "I can't even see the Golden Crow, how can I know when it will fly?"
He looked up at the towering tree and said to Qingmei: "This tree is too tall! If a mulberry falls and the wind blows, it will blow at least dozens of miles! If we go farther, we may be able to find something."
There are too many people under the tree. After many digs, the chance of finding them is low; there may be more opportunities in low-lying areas in the distance. ..
Lu Cheng led Qingmei to a small hill several hundred feet away, and stood on the hill looking around.
After a while, he said to Qingmei: "When will an ordinary mulberry tree bear fruit?"
Qingmei replied: "In midsummer?"
Lu Cheng asked again: "In midsummer, from which direction does the wind usually blow?"
"South. Or southeast?"
"Then let's go to the north or northwest to search. Look there is a valley a few miles to the north. Let's walk over and have a look."
They walked a small circle around the big tree that was seven or eight miles in diameter, and then walked another five or six miles north until they came to a valley. This valley is under the shadow of big trees, and the light seems a little dim. Especially when this time comes
In the afternoon, towards dusk, the light is getting darker and darker.
Lu Cheng said: "Forget it today, rest early, and get up early tomorrow to search! By the way, can you get up early?"
Qingmei smiled and said: "Brother, I get up before dawn every day. Our Qingqiu mentality must absorb the first ray of sunlight."
"Okay, then help me watch to see if there are any golden crows flying in the morning!"
"Yes! I see it almost every day!"
"how could be?"
"Because the Qingqiu Kingdom is not far from here, I practiced Qigong in the morning and absorbed the first ray of sunlight. When I raised my head, I could see the Golden Crow flying by!"
"What does the Golden Crow look like?"
"It's just a golden crow, flying high in the sky, and in less than half a cup of tea, it's full of fire and turns into the sun!"
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "The Golden Crow turned into the sun. This is just a legend. Could it be true in this world of Shan Hai Jing?"
He said to Qingmei: "Whether we can find the mulberry depends on the time it takes for the Golden Crow to fly up half the stick of incense!"
"Brother, do you have any way to find it?"
"Not necessarily yet, I just have some ideas. I'll find out tomorrow morning."
Lu Cheng took out two wolf skins, handed one to Qingmei, and said, "It's already early autumn, the night is cool, so wrap up in a wolf skin and sleep!"
Qingmei was delighted: "Brother, you are determined."
Lu Cheng had only tanned two wolf skins and one tiger skin before. The tiger skin was left at home and he was reluctant to take it out, and the wolf leather belt was kept by his side to keep out the cold.
The wolf skin is three meters long. When wrapped around the body, it can be used as a sleeping bag.
Qingmei said in surprise: "Brother, this skin is so soft! I have never seen such soft wolf skin!"
Lu Cheng smiled faintly without explaining.
Modern tanning technology is much better than ancient times. Wolf skin is treated with softeners to make it more comfortable.
He planned to get some more tiger skins next. He didn't need to hunt personally. Everywhere he went, he could see Yi tribesmen holding various furs and wanting to exchange them with merchants. He could buy tiger skins with jade coins, and a tiger skin only cost fifteen dollars. A jade coin, wolf skins are very cheap, one jade coin can buy three.
Lu Cheng said: "If you can't sleep, tell me about Qingqiu Kingdom. Why do all your sisters have similar looks?"
"There is a secret cave in our Qingqiu Kingdom. There are several stone statues carved from white jade. It is said that they are what our ancestors looked like back then. Those ancestors were all nine-tailed foxes. The statues left behind can inspire blood inheritance. So our fox clan After three hundred years of cultivation, when the girl transformed into a human form, her appearance was somewhat similar to that of a god."
"Do those statues have names?"
"Yes, I know three names, Jiao, Da and Xi."
"Why is there only one word?"
"The fox emperors in the early years all had only one name. If I become a nine-tailed fox, I will take the word 'plum' as my emperor's name."
"Haha, you have a big heart."
"Brother, I'm joking."
"Qingmei, are your ancestors still alive?"
"She should still be alive. The nine-tailed fox won't die that easily."
"Since you are alive, why don't you come out to protect Qingqiu Country?"
Qingmei shook her head: "I don't know. I just heard from the old man that the place where our ancestors live is too far away from Qingqiu Kingdom. Maybe they climbed up the trees to reach the sky."
Lu Cheng asked, "Do you know where Jianmu is?"
Qingmei said: "I heard that it is in Diji. There are hills of emperors and a big tree that reaches the sky. Those great emperors have all gone to heaven. Only their altars are left in the world."
"Hey, you know a lot."
"Brother, you are laughing at me again. Our Qingqiu country is an ancient country with a long history. Many stories have been passed down from generation to generation. I have been practicing for more than three hundred years, and I have heard many stories in my ignorance. Some of them are clearly remembered, and some have been forgotten."
Lu Cheng suddenly asked: "Does Qingqiu Kingdom have writing?"
"There are runes, but I know very few of them. There are no more than 500 in total."
"That's right. Do other fox girls also recognize runes?"
"Most of them are illiterate. My grandmother is the 'Fox Witch' in the clan. She knows more than 8,000 runes."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Qingqiu Country also has 'witches'."
"Brother, you underestimate our fox clan. The ancestors of those nine-tailed foxes all master tens of thousands of runes. There are many yellowed animal skin scriptures in our cave. Unfortunately, there is a lack of spiritual witches in the clan. There are very few Someone can identify those scriptures. Because of this, the king gave us to the young human race to be maids and concubines, hoping that we would have good luck in learning the runes."
Lu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "When you have free time, if you are willing to learn, I will teach you the runes."
Qingmei was already lying down, but when she heard "Gulu" she got up and said in surprise: "Really? Brother, do you know runes?"
"Yeah. You're lucky to be able to follow me."
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. When you arrived at Qingqiu Kingdom, the king held a banquet for you. My grandmother was watching from the side. It was she who took a fancy to you and said that you have a clear energy and a bright future. , I rushed forward to serve you."
"Oh, that's it. I can only say that your grandma has great vision!"
The two talked for a while, then sat quietly and practiced their exercises, absorbing the moonlight. _&
