Su Hanshan did not leave Jinling too far.
Among the hundreds of countries in the world today, Song and Liao are the largest.
The Liao Kingdom was ranked first in the world because of its territory and the military strength of the court was relatively strong. However, the Song Kingdom was the best in the world because of its wealth, prosperity, and literary talent.
Therefore, most of the masters from all over the world like to linger in the Song Dynasty to enjoy themselves.
As time passed, these characters fought with each other more and more, and it evolved into a new trend.
It seems that no matter which country the strong man is, if he does not come to the Song Dynasty and make a name for himself in front of the eyes and ears of masters from all over the world, he is not considered a person with real hard power.
After there are more masters, more rare and exotic treasures are cultivated in the enclosure, which makes it even more attractive.
For example, Feng Kun, the leader of Tianxian Sect, was originally the national master of Zhaowu Kingdom. After arriving in Song Kingdom, he still lingered around.
Su Hanshan wanted to find a place to practice for a while, and naturally he did not want to be disturbed by the endless stream of local warriors.
So he went directly to Zhu Liang’s hometown.
The Snake Valley is actually not located in any steep mountains, but on an island in the middle of Hongze Lake.
This place was originally deserted, often with poisonous snakes and strange beasts. It was only because Zhu Liang had lived here in seclusion for decades that it gained some popularity.
Zhu Liang made the mistake of going to the Prince's Mansion in Jinling to enjoy the blessings and work. Not only did he collude with others, he also encountered a murderous star from the sky.
Because a lot of ores that can be used for sword training were taken away, the villages here lost their town property and gradually lost their popularity. They had no choice but to flee to other places to live with the poisonous insects, snakes and ants that breed every year. .
Su Hanshan came to the sky above Hongze Lake and found the island. When he landed, he saw the abandoned villagers' houses outside the valley.
White vitality wrapped in a large amount of medicinal and spiritual materials was found on a cleaner flat ground and piled up.
These medicines are either wrapped in silk or satin, or contained in jade bottles, jade gourds, or crystal plates. Even the most inferior ones are sealed in lacquer boxes.
The craft materials used in those lacquer boxes cannot be obtained without dozens of taels of snowflake-patterned silver when put on the market.
After Su Hanshan piled them up like this, some of the boxes slightly opened the gaps, and the fragrance of medicinal materials came out.
He sat cross-legged on the yellow cloth, holding the list of single prescription diagrams that he had swept away, comparing the medicinal materials one by one, and re-categorizing them.
Half an hour later, the sound of fluttering wings came from the other side of the valley.
Su Hanshan smiled and deliberately did not look.
When he asked about Heitutuo's news, Heitutuo was deeply impressed by the two distinguished guests in the Lu Xingxian realm in the Jinling Palace. He knew a lot about them and told them many things.
For example, in Hongze Lake and Panshe Valley, there is actually a forest of Tianxiang, which is a rare and precious spice wood in the world.
Although it is not of much use to those who practice martial arts, there are a group of wonderful creatures in the forest, called the sacred silkworm babies.
Some soft-haired little heads peeked out from among the leaves in the distance.
They look and build like seven or eight-year-old children, but are only half a foot tall. They have some clothes made of leaves, and they have dragonfly-like wings on their backs that can fly. They hold in their hands Bows and arrows made from Tianxiang wood branches.
"It smells so good! It's right next to that person!"
"Let's go get some. He looks like the kind of kid in the village before, who would feed us."< br>
“But the village has long since disappeared. Later, there was also a person who fell into the water and drifted to the island. We rescued him. When he saw us, he wanted to arrest him and sell him. Thanks to Ye Ye, he was beaten away.”
"No, it smells so good. If you can't have it, I'll steal some."
The little girl with wings, even forgetting to take the bow and arrow, flew out, trying to look at the map while Su Hanshan lowered his head. When I was young, I secretly touched the thousand-year-old Huangjing.
She tiptoed, the width of her wings became very small, she pulled it once...and again!
Not moved.
More children couldn't hold it back and flew over to move it together, making babbling noises, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move it.
"Thousand-year-old Polygonatum odorifera is very fragrant. Ordinary people can eat it for a month if they take one bite, but you guys can't digest it after eating it."
Su Hanshan raised his head and said a few words with a smile. .
Those divine silkworm babies were suddenly frightened and changed back to their original shape, like white silkworms, but with wings flying around.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Su Hanshan pointed his finger, and a soft vitality with a sense of Zen and tranquility wrapped the sacred silkworm babies, straightened them out, and placed them on the yellow cloth .
There are monsters in this world.
But they are different from monsters like Da Chu, which are transformed by practicing martial arts, transformed by wild beasts, degenerated by ancient gods and demons, transformed by the blood of great masters, and come from many sources.
After research by many ancient scholars in this world, it has been proved that the monsters in this world have one and only one origin.
Because the environment in some places is special and connected to the underworld, many scattered thoughts from the underworld flow into the human world, sometimes falling into the bodies of wild beasts, or nourishing vegetation.
If by chance, a kind of self-consistent intelligent thinking can be formed, this kind of beast or plant can turn into a monster and embark on the path of spiritual practice.
The divine silkworm baby can actually be regarded as a kind of monster, but its origin is somewhat special.
It is said that during the reign of Wu Zetian, Tang Ao, a great practitioner, lost his beloved daughter, so he traveled around the world and visited hundreds of countries, hoping to find a way to resurrect his life.
It was also his attempt to integrate all the thoughts of his beloved daughter into the same monster and achieve resurrection.
Later, he stayed in Hongze Lake for a long time, and many parents who had lost their children came to ask for help.
The first batch of divine silkworm babies was made by him in order to resurrect these children. Because the purpose of the initial training of the Divine Silkworm Baby was to collect as much as possible the thoughts of the children during their lifetime, other abilities were ignored or even sacrificed.
Therefore, although this kind of monster is born with the ability to transform, it does not know how to practice it at all, and it has no value in using it as a magic weapon. Even a crazy evil person will not come to fight it. their idea.
No one knows whether Tang Ao achieved his wish in the end.
In short, because the life of the sacred silkworm is about to end, when it spins a cocoon, it can reproduce without intercourse. Monsters like the sacred silkworm baby continue to exist in Hongze Lake to this day.
When the common people lived here, the children at home would sometimes play with these sacred silkworm babies and feed these little creatures.
Because the silkworms can fly and can drive away poisonous snakes with bows and arrows, the children will not be in any danger when they run around.
Su Hanshan looked at these cute little guys, condensed a large bowl of black ice, mixed the vitality into tea, and let them drink it slowly.
"Stealing is not a good thing. If you are a good person and you steal, you will cause losses to others. If you are a bad person and you steal, you will be hurt."
Su Hanshan Seeing them drinking happily and turning into children again, I couldn't help but smile.
"I will stay here for a while. If you want to eat, you can come to me."
The baby silkworms listened obediently and nodded in confusion.
“Thank you, we won’t steal anything anymore.”
“You are so amazing. You can conjure things by just stretching out your hand. Can you conjure that... that, Painting? ”
Su Hanshan was a little surprised: "Dan means cinnabar, and Qing means Qingyue. Do you mean the picture scroll made by Danqing, or the paint used for painting? Why are you looking for this?"
Sacred Silkworm Babies A flurry of explanations.
"It's Ye Ye. Ye Ye always sneaks out to look for these things, making it very hard."
"But Ye Ye is not called Ye Ye. He used to be called Bai, but now he always You want us to call him Ye Ye.”
Su Hanshan’s heart moved slightly and he asked these magical silkworm babies to show the way and fly into the valley.
Among the Tianxiang trees, some trees were carved out in the shape of small houses.
One of the houses had a baby divine silkworm lying on its side by the window sill.
He frowned, holding a thin pen in his hand, smearing on the leaves, holding a rolled leaf in his mouth, and smacking his lips from time to time.
When Su Hanshan flew in, the baby silkworm seemed to be tired. He stood up, hunched over, beat his waist, walked slowly, and moved his neck.
The small leaf in his mouth picked up and down with his movements.
Su Hanshan looked at the patterns and strokes painted on the big leaf, and looked at the expression of the sacred silkworm baby, and felt somewhat certain in his heart.
Pop!
Su Hanshan snapped his fingers, and the small leaf roll that the sacred silkworm baby was holding suddenly caught fire from the end, which shocked him.
“Who?!”
The sacred silkworm baby looked alert, and then he discovered a yellow cloth floating in the woods, with a child standing on it.
Su Hanshan smiled and said: "Mr. Nie, you didn't bring your cigarette rod, are you feeling lonely?"
"Sect Master Su?!"
Nie Feiying flew out, full of surprises, "I have finally found one."
Su Hanshan shook his head and said, "I am obviously here to find you."
"Yes, yes, yes, still. Sect Leader Su has great magical powers.”
Nie Feiying sighed, “I felt at that time that we seemed to have fallen into this together. , It’s a pity that with such a body, it’s very difficult for me to go out and find out the news, let alone find you.”
“For such a long time, I only vaguely knew that this place is still there. It’s quite big. There are hundreds of large and small countries, and there are also four seas. It’s not like an ordinary secret realm.”
Su Hanshan looked at the big leaf again.
"So, are you going to paint yourself like an ordinary person, wearing that illusion shell, and go out to find out the news?"
Nie Feiying nodded and said, "Me too. I'm not too worried about these little kids. There was a man who fell into the water a while ago, and I almost caught them all. The original owner of the body died at that time."
"I originally thought that when I went out to find out more information and used more materials, I would use the method of painting souls to draw more scrolls and take pictures of them. Take them away into the painting.”
Su Hanshan asked curiously: “Can you seal them into the painting?”
"I got the secret method of painting the soul path from Xia Hou. Besides, these little guys are not normal creatures, but more like soul spirits."
Nie Feiying explained, looking at those who were impatient to listen, The little guy who had run away shook his head and sighed, "When I see them, it's a bit like seeing Ling'er when he was a child."
"Also I don’t know where Ling’er is now.”
Su Hanshan said: “After I practice for a while, this body can show more strength, then I can go out and cause more trouble, and I can become more famous. They noticed us faster and tried to send the message over."
Nie Feiying nodded: "That's all."
He thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, after midnight for the past two days, I always feel like someone is spying on us..."
