In the mountains on a sunny day, the leaves of the trees on the peaks are dyed red or yellow, and the waves surge like fire and gold. It is really beautiful. Xiao
The small valley inlaid among the peaks that are rendered pale golden by autumn has been inaccessible for many years. It is quiet and indifferent. When suddenly the screams of human joy are heard, the sound of chirping and crashing is heard everywhere in the small place, and birds and beasts are flying.
There was a chaos of war and chaos.
The author's little classmate didn't know that he had disturbed the tranquility of the original inhabitants. He ran happily towards the place of rare treasures. He cut through thorns and thorns along the way, and his clothes were punctured and cut several times. After a lot of running, he finally got out of the woods.
, arriving at the land of spiritual energy clouds.
The piece of spiritual energy was next to a cave. There was the wall of a mountain peak, with hillsides on both sides, covered with dense vegetation and scattered trees. Opposite the cave was a forest ten meters away in front of it.
The location of the cave is neither high nor low, about halfway up the valley. Looking into the distance, there are woods blocking the view. The cave cannot be seen outside because there are no tall woods near the cave and there is plenty of sunlight.
Only part of the cave is exposed, I don't know how high and wide it is.
Bees lined up in a line also flew in and out of the cave.
When Yun saw the partially exposed cave entrance, she wanted to jump up with excitement. Ancient people loved finding caves to live in, or hiding their gold and silver treasures in caves. This place was so secretive that it might have been a cave for ancient monks.
Thinking of the rare treasure, she couldn't help but swing her hatchet vigorously to chop the weeds and vines. She was still more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave. She was stunned for a moment, and regular stones appeared among the chopped weeds.
, arranged upward according to the mountain topography, it should be a step path based on the stone steps.
Wielding the hatchet, I looked, looked, and looked a few times, then laughed out loud, swung the knife harder, chopped grass all the way, and cut out a narrow path that could accommodate people.
With her unremitting efforts, the road led to the cave. The cave was about three to four meters high, seven to eight square meters, and irregular in shape. At the entrance of the cave, there was a small area that was artificially leveled and an earth wall was built. The earth wall has collapsed.
The stone wall foundation remains.
The collapsed earth walls were scattered into uneven mounds, with bark and rotten wood looming over them. A rich spiritual energy shone above the pile of earth in one corner.
Inside the cave, there was a jar piled in a corner. The surface of the jar was coated with a layer of mud, and there was a layer of white frost crystals on the mud surface. It looked like it had been there for a long time.
The steps built by people, the broken walls, and the jars in the cave undoubtedly do not prove that this place was once a cultivation cave for hermits.
The owner of the cave has a vague trace and has been left uninhabited for a long time, so the walls fell into disrepair and collapsed, and the cave also has a new owner - a swarm of bees.
The bees occupy the cave as their home and build their nests on the walls of the cave. It is unknown how many years they have taken root in the cave. The honeycomb they built is larger than a commercially available medium-sized bathtub. The honeycomb hangs on the top of the wall, like an inverted hill.
It is so huge, the longest fan-shaped honeycomb is about seventy or eighty centimeters, and the honeycomb is densely covered with bees. Those wriggling little creatures are enough to scare anyone with trypophobia to paralysis.
The weather is fine, and bees are the most industrious little creatures. Naturally, they cannot be lazy. Some of them guard the home and protect the nest, and some go out to collect nectar. The worker bees form several teams to go to work, flying in and out busy non-stop.
Regarding the arrival of the Human Twoleg, it was probably because she showed no signs of causing damage, and the bees did not attack the foreign creatures.
Since ancient times, good places have attracted spiritual beings. Bees are one of the most spiritual creatures. They only love clean places and will never settle in unclean places.
There are bees making their home in the cave, which once again proves to be a good place.
Yun stood by the remaining wall outside the cave, looking up at the huge beehive, her mouth wide open and her eyes narrowed to a slit. This was the so-called double happiness!
No, that's not right!
In an instant, she denied that this was not a double happiness, but a triple happiness. There was something spiritual in this small place, a nest of huge bees, and a medicinal plant she was looking for.
The medicinal plant was not here in the cave, but it was not too far away. She could smell its scent. Such a treasure was hidden in a small valley among unknown mountains. This was such good luck that it made people doubt that their predecessors had saved the earth.
For the first time, Yun felt that she was so lucky, really! This luck was so good that even she was jealous of herself. Well, let her do it first!
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, honey is very precious, but not considered a treasure, but in the eyes of a young student, the nest of honey in front of them is definitely one of the precious medicinal materials.
This nest of honey is pure wild stone honey. Stone bees are smaller than ordinary bees. They only build nests on rock cave walls or in the soil, so they are called stone honey.
Stone honey is purer and has higher nutritional value than honey. Taihang Mountain has diverse plants and a wide area. Different plants bloom in each season, which is enough to supply the nectar needed by bees. Taihang Mountain has also become a natural habitat for bees.
Honey hunting ground.
When she was looking for medicine in Shennong Mountain, she also found a nest of wild bees. Because it was summer and it was not suitable to collect honey, she kept it untouched. She also found a nest in Motianling, which was a small group of newly separated bees.
, there is not much honey, if the honey is taken away, when winter comes, the bees will starve to death without honey for the winter, so she does not take the honey.
This swarm of bees is so big that it can take at least one third of the honey.
After giggling alone for a long time, I had enough. I gently cleared the fallen weeds and tangled vines at the entrance of the cave to make the place more open.
After a little tidying up, I ran to the jar placed in the cave. The jar could not be used to hold ashes. If there was a jar containing ashes in the cave, there would be Yin Qi and bees would not build a nest.
.
If you guessed correctly, the jar may be a wine jar!
The mud-coated jar is a fifty-pound wine jar, with a round belly, upper and lower ends, a round mouth, and a lid, and the top of the lid is also sealed with mud.
Looking around the jar, using the special powers of the eyes to analyze it layer by layer, it reveals the true face of Lushan. It is really a jar of wine. Probably due to its age, part of it has evaporated naturally, leaving only three-fifths of it. There is a saying that concentration is the essence, and its weight is
When it is smaller, the wine body becomes more solid, rather like jelly, and there is a layer of red jelly on the surface that is more than ten centimeters deep.
When analyzing the wine jar, Yun wanted to cover her eyes, but her eyes told her that the jar was 205 years old, and the wine was 199 years and ten months old!
"Why?" She squatted on the ground with her head in her hands and drew circles. When did she become so powerful? She could tell the age of a wine at a glance. If she was so powerful, wouldn't she be so awesome?
I feel like I am going to become an immortal.
Squatting on the ground and drawing a few circles, silently looking at the sky, seeing the huge group of honeycombs, silent Yun's heart was racing for a second, she jumped up, rubbed her hands together, ready to fight. Why is she so lucky? Why has she changed?
It was so powerful that all those small problems were put aside. The most important thing at the moment was to quickly find the treasure in the soil and see what kind of treasure could emit such rich spiritual energy.
When he came back to his senses, he carried the wine jar back to space, placed it on the spiritual stone base under the dragon's blood tree, ran back to the medicine field, and neatly picked the silver plate mushrooms that had grown in the flower pot.
Tricholoma matsutake has spores that fly to the ground and grow mycelium to form mushrooms. Matsutake mushrooms also fly their own spores, form hyphae, and then grow into mushrooms. A young student planted the matsutake mushroom in the medicinal field just like matsutake and let it grow naturally.
The time for scattering spores probably hasn't lasted long enough, and the spores haven't grown into mycelium yet. At present, there are no new silver plate mushrooms growing in the medicinal fields.
The dug soil was poured with well water every day, and a batch of small silver plate mushrooms grew in three days. Some of them have been harvested, but the number is not very large.
In the medicine field, all the spores of matsutake mushrooms that have grown into mycelium have probably been consumed, and new mycelium has not yet formed. Yesterday, seven or eight matsutake mushrooms were collected, but today there are no new matsutake mushrooms poking out of the soil, so production has been temporarily suspended.
After picking the grown silver mushrooms, I took out a small basket of mushrooms that I had cleaned out, lifted them out of the space, and placed them on the grass outside the cave where they could be exposed to the sun to dry.
She planned to dry some of it in the sun, even if it was not completely dry, it would be fine if it was half dry, and bring it back to school openly and openly, so that whether Handsome Yan, Handsome Liu, Brother Chao, or the seniors saw it, she could say that she had picked it herself.
It is dried in the mountains, which can also be said to be purchased from others in the mountains.
After drying the mushrooms, I took out my mask and covered my mouth and nose, took out my hoe, ran to the corner of the cave entrance, and happily cleaned up the soil.
There is a swarm of bees in the cave. In order not to make the dust fly, and for fear of damaging the things buried in the mud, I don't dare to dig hard. The little students are also very careful when cleaning the soil. They dig slowly and try to move the soil into the cave.
It can absorb moisture and allow the soil to pile up in the corner of the cave bottom. In spring and summer, the mountains are humid and the soil absorbs water, making the cave drier and more suitable for bees to live.
The fallen mud walls had some bark and wooden strips buried in the mud. In the past, poor people or people living in the mountains used bark or thatch to build their houses. Thatch is easy to wither and rot. As for bark, as long as it is not soaked by rain, it can be piled up for decades.
Still intact.
The bark and wood are buried in the soil and have not completely rotted because they have not been soaked by water.
After peeling off a layer of soil, removing the bark and wooden strips, Yun used a hoe to carefully dig into the soil. After digging for a while, a corner of black stuff was revealed in the soil.
Only a small piece of the black color is exposed, as big as a palm. The color is as dark as thick ink, and there is some mud stuck to the black ink color. Even so, it cannot cover its brilliance. The exposed areas are bright and shiny.
The essence of that jet-black color is jet-black, and it also shines with golden metallic light and rich white aura light.
When it was buried in the soil, the golden metallic light could not be seen. The aura was so thick that even the soil could not cover it, and it appeared in the air.
"?" Yun stared blankly at the jet black color. Her eyes could not identify what material the jet black piece was!
Embarrassing!
Staring silently for a long time, she felt embarrassed. It seemed that her eyes were not omnipotent?
If that's really the case, it feels like a trap.
I wiped away the cold sweat and dug the soil along the exposed black area. After digging for a while, more and more black parts were exposed. The black color was stone, polished, but relatively rough.
Because she was doing physical work and sweating, the body odor probably attracted the bees' interest. Small bees in twos and threes regarded her as flowers and flew to her body to look for them. They searched and searched but couldn't find the flowers, so they flew around her.
After flying for a while, I was busy picking flowers.
Drenched in sweat, Yun worked hard and dug for a while. Instead of digging deeper, she dug the soil according to the shape of the aura light. The aura light was round, so she speculated that the black thing was cylindrical.
Relying on the powerful plug-in artifact with the special function of the eyes, I scraped away several layers of soil and finally dug out a jet black color. It was a round circle, like a hula hoop, with the middle filled with soil. The jet black wall was about 2 meters thick.
Ten centimeters, judging from the exposed part, it is 99% likely to be a stone jar or a barrel made of stone.
The black round mouth is very large, larger than an ordinary water tank, and the inner diameter is about two meters.
Knowing its size and shape, Yun was so excited that she forgot about the fatigue in her hands from swinging the hoe, and continued to dig with full energy, removing piles of soil after piles, digging to a depth of one meter, but before reaching the bottom, she swung and moved bricks
The spirit of perseverance in work continues to carry forward the past and continue to explore the roots.
After digging for another half an hour, they finally dug to the bottom. The pitch-black jar or barrel was a full one and a half meters tall, which meant it was only a few centimeters shorter than her.
Yun: "..." Wow, for such a tall thing, how tall must the cave master who is practicing here be?
As a little frustrated person, I feel tired and don’t like it. People at low altitudes can indeed feel the malice and invisible harm from the world wherever they go.
The soul was hit by the 10,000 critical hit value. The little classmate wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued digging with the hoe. For this shining treasure, he must not be afraid of hardship or fatigue, and would rather bleed than shed tears.
As long as the hoe dances well, there is no soil that cannot be dug up. Under the powerful attack of the hoe, most of the soil was removed, and most of the dark black things were exposed. It was a stone jar with a flat bottom, a round belly, and a wide mouth.
The exterior carving is not very particular and is very rough, even rougher than the interior workmanship of a ceramic water tank.
Under the perspective of the eye's light, the internal structure of the stone jar material is fine, compact and orderly, and there are no flaws. It is almost all the black ink color of its body, without any sickly dead gray color, and its metallic golden light is dazzling.
.
The stone jar is stored next to the wall. Because it is made of hard material, it will not be damaged when the wall falls. After digging such a wide area, there are no bowls or ceramic shards, and there are no other remnants like cloth or furniture. Except for the stone jar,
There is a stone strip set up with stones next to the wall, a fire pit for a fire, and a small pile of fire embers.
Yun knows how to save resources. In order not to waste them, she moved out the flower pots and collected the fire embers and some fine soil to use as fertilizer for growing flowers and vegetables.
More than half of the stone jar was exposed. She pried open the soil inside the jar. It took her a long time to dig out half of it. Because of the depth, it was difficult to throw away the soil. She wanted to overturn the jar to clean it. She stood outside the jar and grabbed
She tried hard to open the gap, but with all her strength, the vat didn't move at all.
"I... the sun!" Even after trying several times, she couldn't shake the stone jar even half an inch. Yun was so tired that she was sweating profusely. She fell to the ground in frustration and gasped for air. Her whole face was twisted together.
She didn't know how strong she was. Anyway, she could twist a hundred kilograms with one hand without blushing or gasping for breath. She could lift a three hundred kilograms of millstones with both hands without any pressure. But now, she couldn't even move a single step with all her strength.
Tank, how much does that tank weigh?
After resting for a while, I climbed into the stone jar and started working again. I couldn't move the jar, so I could only continue to shovel the mud in the jar. I shoveled the mud clean and then moved it, but it still didn't move.
The little classmate almost wanted to cry. Why is it so heavy?
I can't pull it, and I can't get it into the space. I can only continue to clear the mud around the tank, peel off the mud in lumps, and move it every once in a while. If I can't move it, I dig again. Only less than one-seventh of it is left.
When the piece of soil was not completely removed, I repeated the action of moving the tank several times.
This time, with great effort, the black stone jar was finally moved a few centimeters and separated from the soil.
"Oh my God!" She shook the stone jar loose from the mud. Yun was so tired that she was sweating profusely. She lay on the edge of the jar panting. She was exhausted, okay? The jar was so heavy. It weighed more than two thousand pounds by visual inspection.
Honey, the aura is so strong, I wonder how many times it will expand the space?
Even though she was so tired that her waist was about to break, she didn't want to take a rest. She took a breather and happily threw the vat back into the space. She put away the hoe, picked up the hatchet, and started looking for water in a hurry.
The stone jar is covered with mud and must be cleaned. The well water in the space is too precious to be used. Of course, it must be cleaned with natural water.
The little classmate knew that there was a spring in the small valley, so he ran out of the cave and walked down the path he had made. When he reached the weeds and bushes, he did not cut any more paths. He drilled through vines and grass, first down and then across.
After walking about a mile and a half, we found a source of water.
The water source emerges from under a stone in the tree. The water outlet is very wide. The water may be very strong in spring and summer. During this season, there is only a stream of clear water as thick as two fingers. The water flows through the ground all year round and creates a small pool.
The water that overflows from the pool follows the path of the stream, burrows through the grass and trees, and meanders away into the distance.
There is water and caves. This small valley on the cliff of the mountain is undoubtedly an excellent training ground.
There is a layer of fallen leaves accumulated in the small pool, the water is clear, and the surrounding trees are not too dense, allowing the sun's rays to penetrate.
There are also traces of artificial leveling beside the water pool, creating a small flat area where people can fetch water or wash clothes. There is also a relatively flat stone placed outside the mouth of the water pool, which is probably a washing stone used for beating clothes.
Yun chopped down the weeds beside the pond, took out the large vat, placed it sideways at the outlet of the small pond, took out a water spoon and brush, and used the ladle of water to clean the stone vat.
After constant brushing and washing away the soil, the surface of the black ink stone jar is shiny, and its inner wall is as rough as the outer surface. It is estimated that the stonemason who built the stone jar is still an apprentice, so he only created the shape of the stone jar without careful attention to detail.
Polished, no carving decoration.
Wash the stone jar inside and out several times until no trace of dirt is left. Move the jar back to the space, place it on a corner of the medicine field's stone platform, pour well water into it, and pour forty buckets of well water before removing it.
Filled.
Yun circled a giant vat similar to her own twice, but still couldn't analyze the material and age. She had no time to dwell on that insignificant problem for the time being, so she ran out of the space and happily looked for medicinal materials.
