Lin Fengjin simply drank until he was full, and even his belly was making a rumbling sound. Then he straightened up, wiped his mouth, and then took off his clothes three times, and found himself in a small pool under the spring water.
He sat down on the stone in the middle, took out a towel from the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring, and took a quick shower to wash away the dust and sweat all over his body.
After finishing it, Lin Fengjin looked around and found that a tree had fallen down nearby. The tree trunk was a natural stool. He took his clothes and pants and sat next to the tree trunk, then wiped himself dry and put on his clothes.
.However, at this moment, when Lin Fengjin bent down to put on his socks, he suddenly saw something next to his feet, and his heart was shocked.
It turned out that Lin Fengjin actually saw a cloud of soot!
At this time, there were already a lot of people smoking. There is a folk proverb of "one cigarette, two hemp, three sugar cane", which means that if you don't grow food, you will get the most profit from growing these three things. Since there are many smokers
It's so common, why is Lin Fengjin surprised?
Because usually soot is gray-white and scattered, but this ball of soot is yellow-white, and even after it is burned out, it stays together and maintains the long shape before burning, which is very rare.
Because this should be the high-end cigar first produced by Zesheng Club! Lin Fengjin was committed to developing luxury goods in Zhongtang at that time. When he learned that smokers already had a considerable mass base in Zhongtang
, we planned to create some unique luxury goods in this area, and the final product was cigars, which will further promote cigarettes.
At that time, Zesheng Club was already on the right track. Lin Fengjin only needed to provide ideas and then add some detailed explanations, and naturally there would be very professional people to perfect his ideas and put them into practice.
For example, what Lin Fengjin requested at the time was that not only the packaging should be exquisite, but the taste must be mellow and the smoke rich, and even the waste residue after smoking must be distinguished from low-end products.
However, Li Jian's sudden death messed up everything, and cigars became Lin Fengjin's posthumous legacy to the Zesheng Club. However, because Lin Fengjin had already tried the sample, he could recognize him at a glance.
The difference between the produced Zensheng cigars and other dry tobacco and hookah ashes.
Herein lies the problem. The cost price of a luxury product like Zesheng cigars is only one tael of silver each. Moreover, the output is limited, and it is not enough to supply the Xijing market, let alone export! How come it is so few miles away from Xijing?
Why does it appear in the barren mountains of Xunzhou, thousands of miles away? This is simply not something that the mountain people can afford.
Thinking of this, Lin Fengjin picked up the cigarette ash and slowly ground it on his fingers. He found that there was only a slight moisture, which meant that the smoker was the ash left over today. If he stayed overnight, the mountain wind would
The dew was heavy. It was still next to a spring, so the soot could not be so dry.
Lin Fengjin then continued to search in the trunk of the tree, and found a few more clouds of soot, but the traces were all old. It seemed that the person who smoked this Zesheng cigar came here more than once in the last five or six days. Basically, he would
This is used as a resting and resting point.
Then Lin Fengjin, who became more curious, searched carefully, and sure enough, he found something new. He found a piece of vague oil paper, which should be used to wrap snacks, with Sanquanji written on it. This is also Xijing
The old cake number.
In addition, the tree trunk Lin Fengjin was sitting on also provided him with very important information.
Originally, Lin Fengjin would not have thought of going up to this point. There were more than tens of thousands of fallen trees in this vast mountain. If he had to be suspicious of each one, then Lin Fengjin would not have to do other things. Just because
The position where this tree fell happened to be right next to the spring, and it happened to be sandwiched by two stones on the left and right, just like a natural bench... And many strange things were discovered around it.
So he noticed that the cross section of the tree trunk was as smooth as a mirror!
To create such a cross section, it is impossible for even a saw to achieve this effect, let alone being blown down by the wind or being knocked down. There is only one possibility: it requires a person with extremely strong arms to use extreme force.
A strong technique, using an ax or a long knife to cut across the tree in one stroke without any hesitation, can make the big tree as thick as a bucket collapse and make the cut so smooth.
For example, if a wild boar is holding an open sky or a sword, it will be no problem to cut such a section.
After collecting these clues, Lin Fengjin had a vague general direction in his mind: the sketchy drawings that appeared in the arms of poor mountain people, the huge wooden mandrills hidden in the mountains, and the mysterious masters who appeared nearby. These clues
They should be able to be connected together, just like many scattered pearls. As long as you find the thread, you can get a complete necklace and restore the truth of the incident...
Unfortunately, Lin Fengjin still has too few clues at present, but there is an obvious source that can be traced. Yes, that is the picture of the mountain people who went to die at the giant wooden mandrill. Since ordinary poor
Mountain residents can get this sketch, so it shouldn't be too difficult to trace it...
Lin Fengjin saw that it was getting late. After all, he didn't want to sleep in the barren mountains, so he identified the direction, aimed at the peak and climbed away. In fact, the straight-line distance from Xunzhou City was less than a hundred miles.
We arrived, but the mountains are actually very long, and walking on the mountain road is winding and winding. When we came here, Ao Xi led the way, which took two or three hours. If we go back the same way now, I'm afraid it will be midnight when we go back.
.
Fortunately, during this trip to the grassland, Lin Fengjin made a ruthless plot against the Mohist family and recruited a lot of talents. Lu San was probably one of them. After listening to Lin Fengjin's request,
So according to the description in Lin Fengjin's memory, he designed a glider for him, and its shape was much simpler.
Because there are Taoist magic and various spells in this world, the thing Lu San made is actually much lighter than the one on earth. Lin Fengjin himself has flown it many times, and it is not as safe.
What's the problem?
At that time, Lin Fengjin's purpose of designing this foldable glider was to save his life. Once he was chased and cornered, could he only jump off a cliff and gamble on whether there would be any adventure? But at this time, Lin Fengjin
But he came up with the idea of saving trouble, which was to climb to the top of the mountain. Then he jumped and glide in the direction of Xunzhou.
At this time, most of the red sun has sunk below the horizon, and the mountain breeze is coming. This gliding can take a straight line and take a shortcut, and it can fly dozens of miles at least. It can save at least half of the time.
And it was estimated that the sky would be dark when we landed, so we were not afraid of anyone bumping into us or something shocking.
He had just rested next to the clear spring, so Lin Fengjin had fully recovered his physical strength at this time, and he climbed to the top of the peak very quickly. In other words, he climbed directly to the ridge in just a cup of tea, and usually the ridge
The trees on the mountain are relatively sparse, so it will be much easier to climb along the ridge to the peak.
However, just when Lin Fengjin was climbing a huge rock and just stretched out his hand, a chill ran down Leng Buding's back, and he actually had a creepy feeling. He was completely unprepared at this time. He activated in an instant
The power of demon life even activated He Shazao's "shrinking into an inch" ability, and he suddenly flashed back!
After this flash came out, I felt unsteady on my footing again. It could be said that I took two steps back in succession. As a result, my right foot was completely empty. The sound I heard in my ears was a "crash, clatter, clatter," and there was a lot of noise.
I turned around and took a look. It turned out that there was no retreat. Behind me was an abyss. The sound was the sound of rocks rolling down!
Therefore, Lin Fengjin hurriedly threw himself forward in embarrassment. However, due to the forced exertion, a sharp pain came from his waist. He could even clearly feel the sound of tearing muscles in his waist. At this time, both feet were slipping together.
After descending the cliff, fortunately, my hands had firmly grasped the rock wall to stop the downward trend, and then I pushed myself up with all my strength.
At this time, Lin Fengjin gasped and rubbed his waist. He looked up and saw that a purple head protruded from the top of the rock he was climbing on. The oblate snake head had grown a lot.
The two purple combs, the texture of the body surface are very clear, and it seems to be irritated. If the cobra holds its head high and has a very round body, it is exactly what Lin Fengjin has been looking for.
The ultimate snake hunt!
Lin Fengjin suddenly realized at this time that if he had climbed up before, even if he had Baxia's Breastplate to protect his body, the exposed fleshy parts such as the back of his hands might be bitten by it in a sneak attack, and he would not die by then.
It was time to shed a layer of skin, but luckily I reacted in time.
It's just that this top-notch snake seems to be very territorial. It must have been completely angered by Lin Fengjin. It made a very strange sound like a hen laying eggs, and slapped its tail hard on the rock!
Immediately, where the tail was whipped, rock fragments flew. The top-notch snake immediately jumped up, suddenly flexed and stretched in the air like a spring, and aimed at Lin Fengjin and rushed towards him. At this time, Lin Fengjin
Only then did I understand why others would say that this Seeking Snake can fly. Because its explosive power is so strong, it moves extremely quickly and ejects extremely quickly in the air. It is difficult for ordinary people to keep up with its rhythm, so that's why
Use the word "fly" to describe it.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin's demonic power had natural restraint against such a fast guy, and he easily dodged it, but he still smelled a faint fishy smell in his nose.
Usually when mountain people hunt for snakes, they cut a two-inch-thick piece of pork, about the size of two palms, and then cut a deep opening on the side of the pork that allows the palm of the hand to insert, like a glove made of pork.
After encountering a snake, the mountain people will put bamboo tubes on their arms, and then put their hands into the pork, exposing the side with the pig skin, to lure the snake to bite. The teeth of the snake are very gapped.
There are some barbs, otherwise, the venom will flow out easily. As a result, it is easy to bite into the pork, but if you want to pull it out, it will be stuck by the pig skin, and you will be in a dilemma.
Next, you cannot catch it directly. If you try to catch it with your hands, the snake will have a very irritable character and will rather break than bend. It will easily break on its own in order to fight back. At this time, you must be very patient with the snake.
The tug-of-war, locally called "snake boiling," exhausted the man's strength, just like when he caught a big fish while fishing but continued to let out the line.
After the Xun Snake exhausted its strength and could no longer break on its own, Shi Shiran clamped it with bamboo clips, threw it into a snake basket and sold it for money. Of course, the Xun Snake must be intact to have the medicine.
It is very effective. Once broken, it is almost like broken porcelain. Basically, it cannot be sold at a high price. The only use is to sell it to profiteers and use it to deceive people.
This series of processes is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to actually implement it. I don’t know how many mountain people have died trying to lure snakes to bite them. It stands to reason that if you stab the snake with your fingers, the snake will most likely be
As soon as it stretches its head, it will bite your hand directly, but when there are more people, monsters will come out, and when there will be more trees, there will be miscellaneous trees, and there are some snakes that don't take the usual path, or they just like to bite other parts!
Although the mountain people used bamboo tubes to protect their arms, there were still some who bit them directly at the throat. This was actually like gambling with their lives. The moment they stretched out their hands, their own lives were on the line.
! And the speed of hunting snakes is unattainable for ordinary people, so they can only leave it to fate.
However, under normal circumstances, snake snakes will still habitually bite things that come close to threaten them. The chance of biting other parts is only one in ten. And if it bites the arm, it will be protected by a bamboo tube. In short
, the chance of losing one's own life is about 3%. If the probability is too high, people who come to catch snakes probably won't be so active.
Of course, it’s not that some “smart people” thought of a way to pick up the pork with branches and let snakes bite it from a distance. But they didn’t know that all snakes have poor eyesight. They all use infrared rays that can sense temperature.
The location of the prey cannot be judged vaguely, so if you use a branch to carry pork to provoke the snake, the only result will be that these ferocious monsters pounce directly...
Lin Fengjin was also trying to exhaust the strength of this top-notch snake hunter at this time, and then capture it alive, so he was still imitating the snake hunter's cry in his mouth, deliberately irritating it.
It was obvious that he was being ridiculed. The two combs on his forehead were trembling violently, as if the cavernous body was congested with blood and became erect and hard. He suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out a stream of light yellow venom.
Its castration is amazingly fast!
This venom was obviously untouchable. Lin Fengjin was about to dodge, but he saw the body of the snake standing tall and upright, swinging from side to side, as if it was aimed at him like a crosshair. It was obvious that
, the purpose of this guy spraying out the venom was to deliberately make Lin Fengjin dodge and force him into a blind corner, and then swoop forward himself, of course he could reap the benefits.
Lin Fengjin secretly thought in his heart that this beast can also strategize, but he sneered in his heart and used the trick to dodge to the right. However, the terrain here was on the ridge and was very dangerous, so Lin Fengjin almost had to do it after dodging.
I fell into an awkward situation with no way out.
And the venom flew straight seven or eight feet, and stuck to the big tree next to it. It actually corroded it hard, making a "squeaking" sound, and a lot of smoke came out.
The power on the trees is so powerful, so if it touches people, the effect can be imagined.
This snake hunter was also extremely cunning, and didn't move at all. It wasn't until Lin Fengjin's feet left the ground and he jumped away that he slapped the rock under his butt hard with his tail, let out a strange scream, and twisted and jumped in the air.
Then, the target was Lin Fengjin's crotch!
However, just when the snake was about to hit its target, Lin Fengjin stretched out a hand to block his crotch, and with a miraculous flash of his hand, it turned into a ball of pork.
After the snake was irritated, it bit hard with all its strength, biting through the skin of the pork. Now it was dragged down by its fangs, and it couldn't pull it off, so it could only pull it back hard.
Pulling, Lin Fengjin smiled evilly and refused to let go, but he realized that this snake was really powerful, and the force of pulling back was not inferior to that of an adult.
Obviously, if he was accidentally pulled loose by it, he would shake his neck from side to side a few times and the pork would naturally be thrown away. However, how could Lin Fengjin let it succeed at this time? He smiled coldly, as if walking.
If a dog pulls a piece of meat and circles it, this snake will naturally resist with all its strength and refuses to be walked like a dog. It wants to maintain its dignity and struggle hard.
But what Lin Fengjin wanted was its struggle. If the guy didn't struggle, Lin Fengjin would still feel it was a bit troublesome, so he simply continued "walking the dog". When he saw that the guy was panting and out of breath, he walked from the side.
Pull out a grass stem and poke the snake's crown very obscenely.
This is also what the mountain people say is a good way to provoke the snake, just like using grass to tease the crickets. The behavior of using the grass stems to tease the snake's crown is similar to playing with an adult's penis.
It's so shameless, so Xun She, who was already a little exhausted, will muster up the remaining courage, squeeze out the last bit of energy in his body, hiss and roar to compete with people again...
Finally, before dark, Lin Fengjin successfully "overcame" this unlucky top-notch snake. This guy seemed to have mated with seven or eight female snakes, and he was really exhausted. Lin was exhausted.
Feng Jin lifted the pork, and when he bit it, it was soft as if it were a leather belt. It no longer had the fierceness it had before. He used a grass stem to move its crown, but it seemed like there was no reaction at all.
Like, you can do whatever you want...
To be honest, catching this top-notch looking snake was an unexpected surprise. It was considered a gift. Lin Fengjin was about to throw it into the medicinal wine jar he carried with him to start fermenting, but he suddenly remembered something.
The thing is, I visited several pharmacy owners at that time and they all said that if you really encounter a top-notch snake, it is best to use rice vinegar to induce vomiting and expel the filth in the body. In this way, the efficacy of the medicine will be improved.
Go to the next level.
However, inducing vomiting for snakes is also a technical job and involves a lot of risks. Therefore, the labor cost of hiring someone to do this often costs tens of taels of silver. Therefore, there is no need to do this for ordinary snakes.
Only the best looking snakes can do this to be valuable.
At that time, Lin Fengjin just thought that he would not go back to Xunzhou, so he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, he encountered something like the Three-Turn Demon Tree begging for him again. He had to go back to stay tonight anyway, so he simply asked someone to
It doesn't take much effort to induce vomiting for Xun She and then brew it. However, you can keep improving. This Xun She wine is meant to be given away to others. The better the quality, the more people will appreciate it.
***
Taking advantage of the last reflection of twilight, Lin Fengjin climbed to the top, then installed the wooden kite prepared by Lu San, then put on special goggles, moved his hands and feet, took a deep breath, and kicked off his feet.
Aiming downwards, he rushed out.
In fact, among the Mohists, this technique of gliding with the wind is already quite mature. The wooden kite is the symbol of the Mohists. Wan Qi, the disciple of the Mohists whom Lin Fengjin met for the first time, is also one of the disciples of the Mohists.
Even ordinary characters, he can make Mu Yan escape, let alone one designed and made by an elite like Lu San?
Lin Fengjin had already made several test flights. At this time, he took advantage of the mountain breeze to spread the wings of the wooden kite and slid down. He felt like "the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains".
Watching the thousands of rocks and ravines that were difficult to cross slide away beneath him was an indescribable thrill.
This time Lin Fengjin took advantage of the wind and easily reached the hills twenty miles outside Xunzhou. He spotted a gentle slope with desolate grass and landed on it.
Lin Fengjin's physique at this time was far better than that of a normal person, so as long as he controlled the landing properly, the impact force was not a big problem for him. After landing safely, he saw that although the sky was about to be completely dark, there was still a corner of the horizon.
Guangming couldn't help but smile, turned around and waved, then strode towards Xunzhou City.
Because Xunzhou is located in the inland of the Middle Tang Dynasty, not a border state, and this place is in a remote and remote area. The land is very barren and the surrounding mountains and rivers are barren. If it were not located in a traffic chokepoint with constant businessmen coming and going, an official would have been so poor.
It has become popular, so Xunzhou's policies are still inclined to be conducive to commercial development. For example, the city gate is not closed at night unless there is a big event. However, the inspection at night will be stricter, and the entrance fee will be doubled.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin entered Xunzhou without much effort. However, there was a problem: because Lin Fengjin did not take the matter of "inducing vomiting for Xunsake" at heart at that time, the old doctor also
He mentioned it casually, and Lin Fengjin just listened, so he didn't know who could do this job. As a result, Lin Fengjin was confused now, so he naturally wanted to visit this place.
