The silkworm did scare Jiang Gan, but after eating the white bear, it seemed to have reached its saturation state and was not looking for new targets. This also made Jiang Gan breathe a sigh of relief.
The lying silkworm spins silk to form a cocoon. The silk threads spun out by ordinary silkworms are white silk, but this lying silkworm spins out red and white silk threads, forming a half-red and half-white cocoon.
Jiang Yan waited for a while, and finally waited until the lying silkworm was completely wrapped in silk and turned into a cocoon. After the silkworm spins the cocoon, it will fall into a deep sleep and wait for the day when the cocoon breaks out.
This light blue lying silkworm should be a strange beast in the world. The silk spun out by such a silkworm is naturally not a mortal thing. I tentatively touched it with my hand. Unexpectedly, the silk was as sharp as a dagger and could be cut directly.
Broken his finger.
"This is too scary..."
Finally, Jiang Yan carefully wrapped the cocoon several layers of cloth before putting it away.
Hu Meiniang once said that there was an eccentric old woman, Lei Hongnv, raising silkworms on the top of Songshan Mountain. The silkworms probably fell here along the avalanche just now.
No wonder Hu Meiniang said that Lei Hongnu was very dangerous. Even the big monsters in Xiandu Mountain were unwilling to say hello to him. How could someone who could raise such a silkworm be an ordinary person?
There are dangers everywhere in the snowy mountains. He Qingzhi also mentioned many times that there were several painters who were destined to paint in Zirongsong, but they all died in the Snowy Mountains because of their work in Songshan.
Even though it is known that the purple velvet song only grows on the sunny slopes at the top of the snow-capped mountains, it is still not easy to find Song Yu in the vast snow-capped mountains.
Jiang Yan took out the hunting map he had just made, and twenty-nine crested eagle spirits flew out of the painting one after another, searching for Song Yu's location from mid-air under Jiang Yan's instruction.
A heavy avalanche flooded the cave where he had taken shelter from the wind yesterday. Jiang Yan found a place with a leeward wind to practice cultivation, regain the spiritual power he had consumed while painting, and wait for news of the crested eagle.
Songshan Mountain is covered with snow all year round, but the sunny slopes of the top of the mountain are lush and green, with a large area of dreamy purple velvet songs growing there.
Zirongsong is one of the rare grasses in Xiandu Mountain. It takes root in the deep mountains, flourishes in the ice and snow, and grows under the cold wind. Even those who are in the spiritual realm can hardly withstand the severe cold of Songshan Mountain for a long time, but this kind of grass can
Yes, and it still has endless vitality in such a harsh environment.
Purple has a special status in the Xuan Kingdom. When the founding emperor of the Xuan Kingdom came with purple energy from thousands of miles away, he conquered the world in one fell swoop. Purple also became the most respected color among the royal family.
The purple velvet grass has three leaves, arranged in a ladder shape. There are some purple hairs on the leaves, so it looks rough and scratchy. It looks weak, but in fact, the branches and leaves are strong and powerful, and the root system extends dozens of miles underground.
Song Yu stood outside this patch of purple velvet grass, intoxicated by the dreamy colors. Even though her body was covered with frost and her hands and lips were trembling slightly in the cold wind, she still persisted.
Song Yu also discovered that the number of crested eagles in the sky was much higher than in the past.
These crested eagles are extremely aggressive, and he was almost attacked when he was hiking. After seeing them, he couldn't help but hide under a rock and continue to observe.
After catching the purple velvet song swaying in the breeze, Song Yu's hand holding the brush immediately stabilized, and he traced the movement of this moment on the painting paper.
Except for some large beasts on the snowy mountains, only a handful of small animals that are resistant to cold and frost can survive here. But while painting just now, Song Yu discovered a very strange insect on the grass leaves of Zirong Song.
Song Yu walked into the purple velvet grass and found several thumb-sized light blue silkworms on one of them.
These silkworms are lying on the leaves, chewing the grass leaves, and some silkworms have formed cocoons and attached to the leaves.
On cold windy days, these cocoons swayed up and down with the leaves. When they were about to break away from the leaves, Song Yu held them up with her hands, squatted down and blocked the wind with her back.
The number of these silkworms is very small. Song Yu stayed here for more than ten days and did not discover them until today.
"Silkworms obviously live in warm places, but why are they found in such cold mountains?" Song Yu was a little surprised.
These silkworms are chubby and their light blue bodies look a bit cute when they squirm.
Song Yu reached out and was about to touch it, when a cry suddenly sounded in Song Yu's ears.
"stop…"
Looking back curiously, Jiang Chang jumped up on a tiger and landed in front of the purple velvet song grass.
"Jiang Yan, why are you here?" Song Yu was a little surprised as to why he appeared here.
"Don't touch those silkworms!"
Jiang Yan saw with his own eyes that a huge white bear was completely devoured by tiny silkworms. He couldn't even hide. How could he dare to take the initiative to get into trouble with this bad thing?
Quickly and slowly, he finally stopped Song Yu at the most critical moment. After being out of danger, Jiang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing a lot of drawings thrown away on the ground, there were dozens of large and small ones, Jiang Yan picked them up and looked at them.
These paintings were only similar in appearance at first, but later the branches and leaves of the purple rongsong became more stretched, the details became more complete, and the coloring became more realistic.
In terms of painting skills, Song Yu was slightly lacking, but from these drawings, Jiang Yan could see that Song Yu had a unique talent in teaching creation, and in more than half a month, he was able to achieve a three-point god-like effect.
Painting skills can be improved through repeated practice over a long period of time, while Cai Feng and Shi Zaoxing pay more attention to the painter's understanding and observation ability.
"You must be the kind of hidden rich man," Jiang Yan suddenly asked.
Purple is the most expensive of the four pigments commonly used by painters, and its value is nearly ten times more expensive than other colors. The value of these scrapped paintings is at least about 100,000 taels.
"Anyone who works as a painter should not be short of money," Song Yu said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily the case. I'm very lacking. Please tell me which young master you are!"
Recalling that when Song Yu was painting in the past, he never struggled with paint and was so lavish that Jiang Qian couldn't help but wonder who Song Yu was.
"My mother was in the restaurant business and made her fortune from Guangling City. However, I did not have the talent to be a musician but became an enlightened painter, so my mother sent me to Lin'an City." Song Yu did not hide her identity.
A collection of stories cost one hundred thousand taels. Song Yu's background does not seem to be that simple.
"Jiang Yan, you haven't said what's wrong with these silkworms, why can't you touch them?"
No matter when Song Yu spoke, he always spoke slowly, and his speaking speed was always very slow.
"I also learned from a friend that there is a powerful old woman with an eccentric temper in Songshan Mountain who raises silkworms here. She hates outsiders coming here the most.
And this silkworm must be an unknown strange beast. When I was going up the mountain just now, I saw with my own eyes that a silkworm as big as my thumb swallowed up a white bear that was nearly ten feet tall.
If I hadn’t stopped you just now, you wouldn’t even have a body left..."
"so smart?"
Song Yu was also a little surprised, after all, these silkworms looked ordinary.
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yan's expression became frightened.
