The elders of the Feiren tribe relished: This is the Lulan pine. Look, its fruit is as big as the mouth of the bowl! And here, this is called green birch, this is called purple oak, this is redbud, that is green sandalwood, here is fragrant fruit wood, that is poisonous tree Davidia wood, look, here is a large piece of white sandalwood, there is fragrant sandalwood, Oh, the most beautiful thing is this golden sandalwood. Look, the trunk is like gold, and the leaves are like jasper. Its flowers are even more beautiful, like a round fan, pink, and the fruit is like a gourd, as white as snow. So beautiful!
Liu Yiyi and his party were walking forward when suddenly the roar of a leopard was heard. Liu Yiyi had already seen the figure of a leopard flying through the jungle ahead. While walking, Xin Ruofei suddenly shouted: White bear! polar bear! It's a white bear!
Everyone has seen it. A white bear walked leisurely through the jungle, swinging its fat body away. At this time, the sound of wolf howling came. Just when Liu Yiyi and the others were walking in the center of the forest, Liu Yiyi discovered a group of white wolves in front of them. Zhao Shiyan reminded everyone softly: White wolves! be safe!
it's okay no problem! The elders of the flying people said repeatedly: As long as we do not pose a threat to them, the white wolves will not attack us. Look, there is a money tree ahead, which is a precious fruit tree. The elder of the Feiren tribe continued to introduce: The trunk of the money tree is rust-colored, the leaves are red, and its fruit is as big as a wheel, like a large round sesame seed cake. The fruit shell is black, the pulp is white, and the core is green. When the core dries, it turns into a red agate color. The pulp is very sweet and the kernels are delicious, with a walnut flavor.
Liu Yiyi walked for a long time before arriving at a valley. A spring flows from the valley, and the water from the spring gathers in a low area and forms a pool. The pool is not deep, about two or three meters, and the water is crystal clear.
Wow! Zhao Shiyan suddenly screamed: Captain, come on, the bottom of the pool has become a kaleidoscope!
Liu Yiyi, Qian Yifan, Xin Ruofei and Li Zhuangzhuang all gathered around. Liu Yiyi saw that there were countless beautiful colored stones at the bottom of the pool, colorful and shining, as if gems from all over the world were gathered here. The pool was less than three hundred meters in diameter, and Liu Yiyi made a visual inspection.
Xin Ruofei suddenly said to Li Zhuangzhuang: Li Zhuangzhuang, go down and get a few pieces for me!
At this time, the elders of the Feiren tribe immediately stopped him and said: "Absolutely not!" Because these beautiful colored stones are the nails of God! It will offend the gods!
If you are new, don’t mess around! Liu Yiyi immediately criticized Xin Ruofei: Maintain the ecology, respect customs, and do as the Romans do!
I think everyone is tired, so let’s rest here and cook! The elders of the Feiren tribe suggested: The water here is very pure!
So, everyone rested, cooked and chatted by the waterhole. Liu Yiyi looked around. The valley here was a low-lying basin. The spring pool is in the center. Liu Yiyi thought strangely, the spring water kept flowing into the pool, why didn't the pool overflow? Liu Yiyi looked at the compass and determined the direction. She discovered that the money tree was on the left, the golden sandalwood tree was on the right, and the involucrata tree was behind her. In front is a forest with large white flowers.
What are those flowers? Liu Yiyi respectfully asked the elders of the Fei clan: "The flowers are like snow, like huge snowballs."
The elder of the flying people said with a smile: That is the edelweiss tree. The wood is soft, like cotton wool, but its bark is as solid as steel. So don't be afraid of strong winds. The trunk of the edelweiss tree is dark gray, and the wood can be used as food, just like eating bread, with a bit of bitter melon flavor. It is difficult for most people to swallow. But the medicinal value of edelweiss tree is extremely high. Its skin can set, strengthen and grow bones. Wood has detoxifying, heat-clearing, and cooling blood effects. Its flowers are both vegetable and medicinal. It can stop bleeding, relieve heat, clear away heat, detoxify, and has a sweet taste. However, the edelweiss tree is difficult to cut down because of its iron-like bark. Moreover, the edelweiss tree grows very slowly, and a trunk as thick as a bowl will take two hundred years to grow. You see, even the thickest tree trunks cannot be surrounded by a few people. It may be hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years old. What's even stranger is that the sap of the edelweiss tree is as red as blood. Therefore, it is also called the blood tree. And because this tree has a long life, it is also called the longevity tree.
So magical? Xin Ruofei quickly said: I want to plant one in the courtyard.
no! The elder immediately said: The edelweiss tree blooms every year, but it does not bear fruit every year. It bears fruit only once in a hundred years. Its fruits are like dolls, and they grow in pairs, never singly.
Yes, right? Doesn’t it just grow two fruits? Zhao Shiyan asked with interest: Isn’t this just ginseng fruit?
But it's not ginseng fruit. The elder said: The fruits that were born that year cannot be eaten because they are poisonous. You don’t know yet, but the flowers of the edelweiss tree have two calyxes, which means a peanut has two fruits. And it takes a hundred years for the fruit to mature. The peel is white, the flesh is red, sweet as honey, fragrant as osmanthus, and as big as a watermelon. Its seeds are very small, like sesame seeds. is black. After dinner, let's go take a look. Maybe we are destined to be together with the edelweiss tree!
After the meal, Xin Ruofei could not wait to run to the edelweiss tree. Li Zhuangzhuang was afraid of something unexpected and hurriedly followed. Before Li Zhuangzhuang could catch up, Xin Ruofei, who was the first to run into the snow-velvet forest, couldn't help but scream. Hearing Xin Ruofei's despairing scream, Liu Yiyi hurried over. Qian Yifan and Zhao Shiyan also immediately followed. When they arrived in the forest, everyone was stunned and stunned. Liu Yiyi saw countless white snakes wrapped around the trunk of the edelweiss tree, large and small, some two or three meters long, with red eyes and tongues like fire. They were playing. The smallest snake is twenty or thirty centimeters long. Liu Yiyi also saw a layer of black tree seeds falling on the ground, which should be the seeds of baby doll. Liu Yiyi understood at this moment that the white snakes were waiting to swallow the baby fruit.
The elder of the Flying People tribe was also shocked. He said: We are really destined to meet the ripe fruits of the edelweiss tree. But the White Snake is smarter than us and more impatient than us. You see, as soon as the fruit is ripe, the white snake will pick it and eat it. Leave, we won't have anything to eat.
Drive them away! Li Zhuangzhuang hurriedly suggested: It’s rare for us to meet each other!
Do you know how many white snakes there are in Silver Wolf Peak? You dare? The elder immediately stopped him and said: The white snake ate the fruit because it was very hungry. If we anger it, we will not be able to escape the siege of the white snake. Come on, let's pass under the tree!
In this way, everyone quickly passed through the forest area with regret. After passing the forest area, we entered the center of the canyon. At this time, mist suddenly rose in the mountains, like blue smoke, floating on the forest rocks. Liu Yiyi felt like she had entered a fairyland. There are no tall trees here, just low shrubs and wild grasses and flowers. Not far away, a city appeared in the mist. The entrance to the city gate is a tall tower. The tower is very high, with more than ten floors. This is a castle. There are guards guarding the city gate. Standing halfway up the mountain, Liu Yiyi raised her eyes and saw that the entire castle was oval-shaped. The castle stretches along the valley. The castle is surrounded by tall and thick walls.
