It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Le Yun arrived at Wutai Mountain.
Changshou Village belongs to H North Province. Wutai Mountain is the most famous scenic spot in S Province. The two places belong to different provinces. From Changshou Village It normally takes more than four and a half minutes to take a shortcut to Mount Wutai and take the township road.
Autumn in Taihang is a good season for traveling and mountaineering. People from all over the country rush to Taihang. During the day, there are long queues of cars and tourists in the scenic spots and on every road leading to them.
Knowing that there are many tourists during the day, the traffic will inevitably be congested, so Le Yun chose to set off in the evening. However, even if she is traveling at night, there is still an endless stream of self-driving cars and tour buses on the road. The speed cannot be too fast. It took more than five minutes to reach the destination.
Wutai Mountain belongs to the Northern Taihang Mountains. It is composed of a series of mountains and peaks. It is more than 500 miles in circumference. There are five highest peaks. The mountains are majestic and continuous. The platform is therefore known as Mount Wutai.
The entire Wutai Mountain area spans many counties. If you only say you are going to Mount Wutai without specifying the exact place, then it is generally understood that you are going to Taihuai Town, the Buddhist cultural activity center of Mount Wutai.
At around eleven o'clock at night, even the tourist resort town of Taihuai lost the hustle and bustle of the day and gradually became quiet, with only some lights visible in the distance.
Le Yun’s car did not stop in the town and went straight to the Nantai of Mount Wutai, which is more than ten kilometers south of the town. Nantai is the most beautiful among the five mountains and has the richest medicinal plants in the area.
The taxi drove in the dark to the foot of Nantai Mountain. Master Gao looked at the young guest who was about to get out of the car, feeling helpless and worried, "Little girl, you have to climb the mountain in the middle of the night."
As As a taxi driver, he is used to seeing many customers, many of them persistent, and many of them behaving strangely, but this little customer refreshed his understanding.
"Yeah, yeah, the person following me is so energetic. I will take him to climb the mountain and enjoy the night view." Le Yun turned over the small backpack in front of her and counted the red bills while ticking the boxes happily. lip.
"What if he is a bad guy?" Master Gao was particularly worried. The car behind them followed them all the way from Changshou Village. He was really afraid that he was a bad guy.
During the National Day, there were a lot of vehicles coming and going. He originally thought that the vehicle behind him was going in the same direction as him. It happened to be on the same road. The young guest said that it was following her, so he paid attention, and sure enough he found that vehicle. Unlike other vehicles, which may be ahead or behind, one of them always follows his car, neither too far nor too close, keeping a distance without losing track.
"I'm not a bad person, someone else asked someone to protect me. I came to the mountains this time to look for medicine. The patient's family was afraid that I wouldn't be safe alone, so they asked someone to protect me along the way. I don't like people following behind me. They had no choice but to follow quietly."
"Then be careful. If anything goes wrong, call me and I'll call the police for you." Master Gao didn't want to interfere with the guest's decision, so he told her to be careful. , To be honest, his daughter is younger than the little guest. If the girl travels alone, he will definitely be worried.
Le Yun counted out fifteen red tickets and gave them to the driver. She pushed the door and got out of the car with a smile. She turned around and picked up her bulging backpack, "Uncle, I probably need at least No. 8 or No. 9." You can go down the mountain, don't worry, just drive as fast as you want."
She is not planning to take the train back to Beijing, because she will need to bring some medicinal materials, medicinal soup refined into juice, and collected plants. Resin might be detained when going through the security check. In order to reduce the trouble, she decided to hire a taxi to go back. It was too troublesome to find a driver temporarily, so she made a deal with the taxi driver. He sent her to Wutai Mountain and waited for her to return to Beijing. Of course, the travel expenses from Hanshi to Wutai Mountain and from Wutai to the capital are also quite a lot.
Taxi drivers have to pay money to the company members every month, and the average monthly salary is about three to four thousand. If you charter a taxi, you will earn more than your monthly salary. That kind of good business Drivers generally don't refuse.
"Okay." Master Gao happily put away the fare and watched the young guest slowly move more than ten meters up the mountain with a flashlight, then reverse the car and turn around to return.
He drove dozens of meters away, passing by the taxi following him. He followed Master Gao’s taxi to the mountain crossing and stopped. The taxi customer was a middle-aged man in his forties. He has the most ordinary Chinese character face, and his appearance is the kind that can’t be picked out in a crowd.
He was carrying a large hiking backpack that was only one meter high and a tent sleeping bag. Because the night was very cold, he wore long-sleeved sportswear. After paying, he turned on a flashlight and walked along the mountaineering trail. Climb up the mountain.
"What a weirdo. He came here to climb the mountain in the middle of the night." Brother De turned the car around, muttered, and returned to town leisurely.
The middle-aged man adjusted the light of his flashlight very weakly, which could only illuminate the path under his feet. He followed the light in front of him from a distance, and the light that went up the mountain was looming. After a while, it suddenly disappeared.
Yes, it disappeared. At first he thought it was turning or being blocked, but it still didn't appear after more than ten minutes.
The middle-aged man speeded up and walked quickly, rushing to the place where the visual light disappeared to check. The road section there is high, no matter whether he climbs up or down, as long as there is a light source, he can be seen. At the same time, next to the road section There is a forest of varying sparseness.
He checked for traces along the edge of the woods. There were probably many tourists who had gone in and out of the woods. There were more than a dozen traces of people stepping on them. Since it was not yet midnight and the dew had not condensed, there was nothing particularly obvious. The reference object made it impossible to tell at a glance whether it was a new step or a trace that had been stepped on during the day, so that he could not judge whether the person had gone into the woods to hide, or whether he had gone forward in the dark.
After standing there for a long time, the middle-aged man slowly climbed forward again with his luggage on his back. When he reached almost halfway up the mountain, he still couldn’t see the light source. He knew that he had lost him again. Find a flat place to sleep on your own.
It was extremely cold on the mountain at night. The middle-aged man had a sleeping bag and slept in the wild for one night. As soon as it got dark, he packed up his tent and sleeping bag, ate compressed biscuits to satisfy his hunger, and climbed up the mountain again, using the distance as he climbed. looking into the mirror.
Le Yun did go into the woods. She originally wanted to climb forward and have a "friendly" chat about life with someone who was also very interested in climbing mountains in the middle of the night. On the section of road with woods, I could smell a faint fragrance. I didn't care whether the person was an enemy or a friend. I happily got into the woods, crawled back to the space and waited for dawn.
Sneak back to your own private territory, take care of the medicinal crops, sleep beautifully, get up before dawn to meditate, wash your face and eat, wait for the dawn in the east, and happily put on water shoes and waterproof shoes He rushed out of the space, identified the direction of the scent, and ran towards the depths of the woods like a joyful man.
In the early morning, there was still mist and heavy dew on the mountain peaks. The woods were damp and cold, and the light was extremely dark.
With a pair of sparkling beautiful almond eyes, Le Yun didn’t care about the thick dew or the dim light. She happily jumped up and down in the woods, digging for medicinal materials while looking for the source of the fragrance. After a long time, she finally Find the source of the scent, a cluster of mushrooms.
The mushroom is a unique game silver plate mushroom from the Nantai Peak of Wutai Mountain. It has the same medicinal and nutritional value as matsutake. It is also one of the health treasure mushrooms. Its fragrance is mellow and fragrant, the farther away from the growing point The stronger the aroma, the higher the nutritional value and the delicious taste. It was once a royal tribute of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The Silver Plate Mushroom is milky white from the root to the crown, with flesh that is fat and solid. It grows in deep mountains and old forests or grass with fertile soil. It grows in a certain pattern and is difficult to find even in the peak growing season. Its best picking period is from the beginning of autumn to the white dew. October of the New Calendar is already the end of autumn, well past the peak growing season, and it is rare to see it in the mountains.
The production of silver plate mushrooms is rare, and the supply exceeds supply in the production areas. Le Yun’s nose is sharper than a dog’s nose. When she smells the fragrance, she immediately gives up the opportunity to chat with someone about life, and decides to look for the scent first. If someone smells something fragrant, just let him continue messing around.
The number of mushrooms is not very large, about a dozen or so, emerging from under the dead leaves of the grass in the woods. Some have open umbrellas, and a few have just emerged from the ground, with their heads not stained by any dew. Little brain.
The place is at least seven or eight miles away from the mountain climbing road in a straight line. It is actually over half a hill and is far away from the road.
Le Yun wouldn’t have been able to find it if it weren’t for her sharp nose. At this moment, she felt very happy when she saw the result that she had spent all morning to find. She chopped off a small wooden stick and slowly withered it. Push aside the fallen grass and leaves to avoid accidentally trampling on the mushrooms hidden in the grass leaves when you walk over.
I ran to the place where the mushrooms grew, picked them and put them in a small plastic round basket and threw them back into the space. I took out the flower pots and hoe to dig the soil, collected seven or eight pots of soil, and put them in again. I searched all nearby places within a certain range and found only seven or eight scattered mushrooms.
I can no longer search for the Silver Plate Mushroom, so I quickly return to the space, plant the few unopened small mushrooms I picked back in the corner of the medicinal field, and pour some well water into a few flower pots. Then take care of the space crops and harvest the fruits, vegetables and medicinal materials that should be harvested.
DryAfter finishing her work, Le Xiaoxiao put on a backpack and took a small hoe to search for medicinal materials all over the world again. The reason why she carried a backpack was just in case, if someone saw her while enjoying the scenery on the opposite mountain or the top of the mountain, she would only When she is a free explorer, don't pay too much attention to her. If a person is running around in the mountains empty-handed, it will be too easy to attract suspicion and attention.
Autumn in the mountains comes early, and it changes every day. The autumn mood was not too strong in the days when Le Yun first arrived at Motianling in Han City. In just a few days, the forests in the Taihang Mountains were dyed with autumn colors. Mountain.
The Taihang Mountains in autumn have the beauty of autumn. There are as many tourists as an ox in the Taihang Mountains, and as many as ants in the Wutai Mountains. The roads up and down the mountains are overcrowded everywhere.
Le Yun had no time to look at the scenery, so she secretly shuttled between the woods and mountains, digging for medicinal materials as if she was trying to make a fortune, and tried to stay away from the crowd. Of course, no matter how hard she tried to avoid it, sometimes she would inevitably encounter freedom. Encounter with the outdoors.
She did not stay long at the Nantai peak. She wandered around for a day and abandoned Nantai the next day, heading towards Zhongtai and Dongtai along the Beitai route.
On the fourth day, that is, at noon on October 6, in a mountain ridge between Beitai and Dongtai mountains, a gray-headed man climbed up the steep cliffs and vines like a little monkey. Climbing over a cliff, we arrived at a place that no one had visited for an unknown period of time.
It is located about three-quarters of the total altitude of the mountain, closer to the peak. The mountains and the mountain are covered with trees, and there is a small mountain just above the steep stone wall. It is concave, with three sides backed by mountain peaks, and one side slightly lower, facing another mountain.
The location of the mountain recess is excellent, with trees and grassy slopes. There is also a water hole in one place. The water makes a circuitous path along the low part of the mountain recess and flows down along a cliff. It is placed during the dry season. , that line of water is not surprising. If there is enough rain in summer, it will definitely become a beautiful waterfall.
“Aww, I’m so exhausted.” After finally climbing over the steep rock wall, Le Yun sat down under a tree, took off her gloves, and patted the grass clippings, branches, and moss above her head. Powder.
This place was too difficult for his grandfather to find. It was surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there was only one steep rock wall that could barely be climbed. It took a circle to climb up using the vines and trees between the walls.
The journey was too difficult. Even though she had strange strength and was so light and agile, it still took her nearly half a day. This shows how difficult it is to find this place.
Why did she climb to this barren valley?
The reason is simple, there is something that attracts her here.
After getting rid of the grass clippings, broken branches and other powdery fragments on her head and neck, Leyun put on her gloves again, looked at the trees around her, picked the tallest tree, and hugged the tree pole and walked away. Climbing slowly, I climbed to the top of the tree in one breath and had a commanding view.
The small valley is surrounded by mountains. It is high up and has cliffs. It is a unique geographical location. If there is fog between the mountains, it will look like a fairyland on earth.
HappySitting on the top of the tree, Yun saw a swarm of bees flying in a line from a place more than ten meters away, flying to the side near the main peak of the mountain, and then got into the green trees with red and yellow leaves, and... There were bees not only in one direction, but also in the other two directions, flying in and out in formation.
In addition to the bees, there is also a scent of medicine.
She turned on the X-ray of her eyes, scanned around, and easily found a piece of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy there was so thick that it was beyond human imagination. It made the birthmark on her arm boil.
She discovered this place on the opposite mountain. She followed a medicinal smell and bee peaks in this direction. She climbed to the halfway point of the opposite mountain. When she was looking for the source of the medicinal smell, she saw a peak on this side. There is a piece of white light in the recess of the hill. The white light is like a small white cloud hanging over the woods, never dissipating.
Le Yun never dreamed that there would be such a strong aura on an unknown mountaintop among such mountains. She immediately rushed to the aura place without hesitation, regardless of hardships and dangers, and learned how to climb apes. Spiritually, I finally climbed up the mountain valley on the cliff.
Aura, wow, aura
There must be a peerless treasure, so there is such a strong aura.
Sitting on the treetop branch, Le Yun saw the rich spiritual energy cloud, which made her heart beat wildly. She grinned to the back of her ears. How could she still be in the mood to observe others? Holding the tree in his arms, he slid to the ground, grabbed the hatchet, plunged into the bushes, and ran towards the direction of the spiritual energy. "Jewelry, Baby, wait for me, I'm coming."
