It’s just because of the color of the stone. Master, there are a lot of these stones on the Beishan Mountain side, let’s go over there and take a look?”
Li Luo snorted, but still didn't look back.
Seeing that the person from the escort who was leading the way was not following, Mao Kong and Wei Ju didn't know why, so they rode back.
Mao Kong looked at Li Luo and asked harmoniously: "Is there something wrong, Master?"
"Mr. Mao, what is painted on this stone?" Li Luo pointed at the big green and black stone and asked in a deep voice.
Mao Kong glanced at it and responded calmly: "What is painted on this stone is the He family's Wanmei Garden. The one in the middle is said to be the Qionglou Palace in the middle of the Wanmei Garden. However, few people have entered it, and there are not many legends in the world.
A secret place in the He family."
"I am stupid, I have heard of the He family's Plum Blossom Festival, but I don't know what the relationship is between the Plum Blossom Festival and the palace in the painting?"
"I also went to Wanmei Garden once when I was young, but I didn't go inside. Most of what I know is hearsay. If you are not in a hurry, I will tell you slowly."
"Senior, please clarify your doubts." Li Luocheng said politely.
Mao Kong waved his hand and said: "There is no need to explain the confusion. It was already thirty years ago when I went to Wanmei Garden.
The Wanmei Garden is circular in front, back, left and right. It is said that there are nine gates from the outside to the inside, one gate goes around the other, and after the nine gates is where the palace is.
Every time there is a plum tasting party, the He family invites heroes from all over the world to climb the mountain to appreciate the plum blossoms. Any hero or talented person who can be invited by the He family can enter the first level.
In this first level, there is a forest of plum trees and a sea of flowers. It is indeed a good place.
The people of He's family set up a banquet with fine wines and delicacies here, called the Flower Banquet, for the Jianghu comrades and children of aristocratic families who came to enjoy the flowers and the moon.
The wine is the finest plum blossom brew, the tea is plum blossom tea, and the delicacies are also extraordinary. One of the dishes is called Shilong Fan, which is the best among the dishes. There is a jar of plum blossom brew, plus a Shilong Fan, even at the plum tasting party.
Even if you can’t find any opportunities, it’s still a worthwhile trip.”
"Mr. Mao, what is Shilong Fan?" Wei Yi came over curiously and asked after hearing the sound.
Mao Kong glared at Wei Yi and glanced around. The escort car was surrounded by Wei Yi and a few people, forming a small circle. He could not wait to come over to hear what the longing for Pinmei would be like.
Mao Kong knew Wei Yi's character, and if he wasn't allowed to know, he would probably be worried.
It's not a bad thing to travel around the world and know some strange things in the world. Mao Kong didn't scold Wei Yi anymore, and Li Luo didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Mao Kong glared at Wei Yi and ignored him, then continued: "This Shilong is not found elsewhere in Dagan. It is called Shilong. It is actually a kind of fish, but this fish is bigger than the fish we usually see.
The difference is that this skink does not live in the water, but inhabits the mud and rocks in the mountains."
"How is this possible? How can a fish leave the water?" Wei Yi exclaimed with doubt on his face.
"Xiao Yi, don't interrupt." Wang Xiang pulled Wei Yi's sleeves and signaled Wei Yi not to make a fuss. Wei Yi quickly shut up and glanced at Mao Kong quickly. Mao Kong didn't seem to mean to blame.
Obviously when he first heard about this kind of thing, he was similar to Wei Yi now.
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, and what we know is only a scratch." Mao Kong said lightly. Suddenly seeing Li Luo's calm face, his heart moved, and he asked in surprise: "Have you ever heard of this kind of wonder?"
Li Luo smiled softly, and answered bluntly: "I have read about this kind of stone dragon in books before. It looks like a fish, with two claws on its belly. It looks like it can swim in the water."
The fish are all the same and are said to be descendants of the ancient beast Tan Yuan.
You can swim in the water and sleep in the earth. No one has seen it again thousands of years ago, but this kind of stone dragon has survived. This fish is very good at finding water sources in the mountains. It is said that some people use the stone dragon to explore the water veins, and they can't find it.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s indeed a strange thing.”
Wei Yi curled his lips and muttered: "Can you believe what the book says? You nerd."
Mao Kong frowned and was about to scold. Li Luo laughed and said: "The records in the book may indeed be distorted. The stone dragon may be good at finding water sources, but if someone says that someone can use the stone dragon to search for water veins, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
Disaster."
Mao Kong took a breath, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I didn't know that the stone dragon fish had such a big background earlier. It is really unheard of. I admire you for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
"Senior's words are serious, but this junior's talk is just on paper, which makes you laugh." Li Luo responded harmoniously.
In fact, this Shilong Liluo was tasted in the palace. The taste was indeed extremely delicious. The meat melted in the mouth and the mellow fragrance left a lasting flavor on the teeth. It was not commonly seen in palace banquets. In addition, this fish could only be found in the Wangmeihe family. It was sent as a gift.
It has been several months since we arrived in Zhuocheng, so the taste must still not be as good as the fresh food in Wanmei Garden.
Li Luo's expression was as calm as before, but Mao Kong also knew that Li Luo didn't care about Shilongyu, so he was so calm just to clear up the doubts in Wei Yi's mind.
Mao Kong coughed lightly and continued in a harmonious voice: "Except for the first level in Wanmei Garden, if you want to enter the next level, you can't just let people in. You have to clear the level before you can go to the next level.
."
"Break the barrier? How to break it?" Wei Yi asked anxiously.
"There are no permanent passes, and there are no permanent laws. Some passes test talent and learning, and some passes test martial arts. I heard that there are also tests on arithmetic, which are all kinds of. It is really more complicated than taking the imperial examination."
However, each level is different, and the exams taken in previous years are likely to be different from the next. Even if someone wants to try a few more times, if they don’t have real talent and practice, they will often fail.”
Li Luo was slightly startled. Zhu Zhi and Ying Feng looked at each other with astonishment in their hearts. If this was true, how could the beggar they met in Meishan County a few days ago dare to be so sure that they could crack the six levels? If such a method really existed
, the mystery behind it is indeed somewhat intriguing.
"That should be the case, otherwise the He family's plum tasting party would be a bit different." Zhou Fang nodded.
"Mr. Mao, how many levels did you reach back then?" Wei Yi asked with hope.
"I'm ashamed. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I only passed the third level and didn't have enough to continue. I had to retreat when I saw the difficulty." Mao Kong said with a bitter smile.
"Hey, what's so difficult about this? If I just sneak in somewhere else, if Wanmei Garden is really that big, the He family can send people everywhere to guard it."
Mao Kong shook his head and said: "It's not as easy as you think. Each level of Wanmei Garden forms a circle from bottom to top. The place where the two levels meet is a stone step, half black and half white.
It is ten feet high and as flat as a mirror. It is not easy to climb over it.
