Chapter 159 Full of curiosity, the husband sings and the wife follows
Step on the asphalt road and walk to the entrance of the village.
Zhang Hao led the way, taking Li Siyu and Xiao Bai along the path up the mountain.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Hao stopped.
Then, he took out the incense burner, standing incense, and some things for worship from the Guling Basket.
A simple ceremony was arranged to worship the mountain god. The two of them bowed in the direction of the mountain and begged the mountain god for blessing.
He also took advantage of the opportunity to pay homage to the Jiaxian Temple and beg for the blessings of the Jiaxian.
After doing all this, the two of them and the dog walked towards the mountain.
While walking, Zhang Hao asked casually: "Are you planning to find something when you enter the mountain this time?"
Li Siyu wanted to go into the mountains to shoot some videos related to traditional culture, so he wanted to shoot something that could reflect the ancient culture of Kyushu.
Zhang Hao didn't know much about this aspect, and he couldn't think of any ideas at all, let alone how to provide some ideas or help to Li Siyu.
Li Siyu nodded: "I recently learned about a kind of ink in ancient times, called Tongyan Huimo. This kind of Huimo is said to not fade for thousands of years, and you can smell the fragrance of the ink when you write it."
"When writing with this ink, the paper falls like paint, and the color is pure..."
"This tung smoke emblem was very popular in ancient times, but due to the complex and cumbersome manufacturing process, coupled with the high price, it gradually declined. Today, no one makes tung smoke emblem anymore. I think... it will This tung smoke and Hui ink are reproduced."
Zhang Hao listened and nodded heavily.
Although he doesn't know much about ink and doesn't know how complicated the craft is, if he can reproduce a very popular thing in ancient times, it would really fit the theme and be suitable to use to promote Kyushu. traditional culture.
What's more, ink is one of the four treasures of the study, and it can better reflect the heritage of Kyushu's classical culture.
Let more people know that the ancient things in Kyushu are actually worse than those of today.
"So, I'm going to go to the mountains to find some tung tree fruits and some other things." Li Siyu said.
Zhang Hao nodded in confusion: "That's good. In this case, this video is going to be a long series?"
Li Siyu shook his head: "I just think so now, but it still depends on the actual effect, and coming to the mountains to find tung tree fruits is just a casual thing. I also want to find the bark, bamboo roots, and some centuries-old trees. Some miscellaneous things that I need for my next video.”
At first, she wanted to follow Zhang Hao into the mountains, just so that she could go into the mountains to find something to make something that reflected ancient culture, such as bamboo, rocks, or something relatively uncommon.
But as she began to deliberately understand these things, she found that there were simply too many things that could be done, such as Tongyan Huimo. As the four treasures of the ancient Kyushu study, the study of ink since ancient times has further deepened the understanding of things like ink. It is perfect, extremely complex, and cumbersome, and can be said to be a production process that strives for excellence. Tongyan Huimo can be said to be the most advanced type of ink.
The extremely complex and cumbersome production process, even for so-called luxury goods, seems so childish and childish in front of Tongyan Huimo. Even the so-called pure hand-made products are a bit ironic.
After learning about the Tong Yan Hui Mo, Li Siyu made up her mind to make Tong Yan Hui Mo. It reflected the ancient traditional culture of Kyushu, and it was exactly the same as her video style, without any violation at all.
Therefore, she had already decided from then on that this trip to the mountain would be to prepare the materials for Tongyan Huimo.
If you want to make tung smoke emblem ink, you need to use tung oil. After tung oil is burned, it will emit a relatively black smoke. This smoke is adsorbed on the porcelain bowl and becomes soot. After the soot is removed, it will be passed through multiple processes. After the processing of craftsmanship, it can finally become Tongyan Huimo.
Therefore, it is necessary to use something like tung oil. Tung oil is the name of the fruit of the tung tree and also the name of a kind of oil. The oil squeezed out of the fruit is called tung oil.
At present, online shopping has become increasingly developed, and tung oil can also be purchased. However, although this tung oil is also tung oil squeezed from the fruits of tung trees, it has been filtered and processed through many processes.
The smoke produced after combustion is relatively clean, and the soot produced is naturally very small, which cannot reach the level required for ink.
Therefore, it is necessary to use unfiltered tung tree fruits, but... tung trees are not everywhere, and the growing environment is quite harsh, so tung tree fruits are rare, usually only They can only be found in some special places deep in the mountains, and there shouldn't be too many of them. It's not easy for her to find this thing.
Moreover, not only are the fruits of the tung tree difficult to find, but also the bark of centuries-old trees may not be that easy to find.
After all, she was very unfamiliar with everything in the mountains. It could be said that without Zhang Hao, she might not have known where to go next.
Zhang Hao raised his nose and asked: "I see, that is, today I am mainly picking tung tree fruits, and are you looking for those century-old tree barks?"
"Yeah." Li Siyu nodded: "It's not easy to find. This is just an idea. It doesn't matter if you really can't find it. I have other alternatives."
She naturally knew how difficult it was, but if she really couldn't find it, she would have no choice but to buy the tung tree fruit from other channels.
And her purpose of looking for it in person is also very simple. The style of all her videos is to find raw materials by herself and start production from the first step. Even if she wants to make a table, she can first go to the mountains and cut a tree. Start making it bit by bit.
She doesn't like to destroy her own video style, but if there is no other way, she can only find other ways to do it.
Zhang Hao then smiled: "It turns out it's that simple. That's easy. Just follow me. I know where those things are." Li Siyu was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Do you know where these things are?"< br>
"I'm a walker." Zhang Hao smiled.
If a mountain walker doesn't know what's in the mountains, if he doesn't know what's there or what exists in most places in the mountains, then this mountain walker is extremely unqualified and extremely incompetent. .
As a mountain walker, I usually walk a big mountain twice at most, and I can almost memorize most of the places in the mountain.
Let him look for the tung tree fruit, century-old bark, and other things in the mountains.
This is like asking Guan Gong to use a big sword, asking Jing Ke to stab the prince once, and asking Prime Minister Cao to reproduce the Jian'an style...
Li Siyu was stunned for a moment, with a bright light in her eyes. She didn't expect that this matter would be relatively easy for Zhang Hao.
She originally thought that even a mountain walker could not know everything in the mountains, and it was not necessarily possible to find what she wanted casually.
But since Zhang Hao has spoken now, it means that Zhang Hao must have a way, or that Zhang Hao has a certain degree of confidence that he can find the tung tree fruit and the things she needs.
At this moment, she thanked Zhang Hao from the bottom of her heart. Ever since her self-media account became popular and her fans became more and more, Zhang Hao has been helping her and doing his best to help her.
She remembered all this and always wanted to find a chance to thank Zhang Hao properly.
However, just because of the current relationship between the two, if it were a thank you, it would seem more artificial and deliberate.
Thoughts are flying.
Zhang Hao grabbed her hand, pulled her forward: "Let's go, I will take you there."
Then, he looked down at Xiaobai at his feet: "Xiaobai, go and lead the way! By the way, go and find that silly deer."
"Woof woof! Oooh~" Xiaobai jumped forward and ran forward, not to mention how happy he was.
Li Siyu looked up at him with a smile. The smile on his face was real and pure, but there was a little doubt in it.
Xiaobai can understand Zhang Hao's words, she knows this, but as soon as Xiaobai comes to the mountains, it is completely different from at home. She doesn't know this.
And Xiaobai’s performance has always been amazing. He actually led the way, as if he was back home...
Also, what about the Silly Deer that Zhang Hao mentioned?
Is it an animal? Or the road? Or is it the secret message between this person and the dog?
Li Siyu temporarily suppressed her inner curiosity and did not ask. She just let Zhang Hao hold her hand and followed Zhang Hao's footsteps towards the mountain.
While walking, Li Siyu looked here and there, as if he was very curious and novel about everything in the mountain. It was exactly like the curious and expectant look he had before entering the mountain. Now that he has entered, Mountain, she is like a curious baby, finding everything in the mountains and forests very interesting.
Of course, she also always remembered what Zhang Hao told her that she must not include him in the photo when filming, saying that this was the rule of a mountain walker.
At that time, Li Siyu still found it very strange. It was also the same as before. Even if Zhang Hao was in the mirror, he would never show his face. But after entering the mountains, he would not even be in the mirror.
However, Li Siyu did not refute. She firmly remembered this and during the filming process, she completely ensured that Zhang Hao would not appear in any frame of the shot.
What surprised her even more was that when she walked in the mountains wearing straw sandals, it was completely different from walking on the plains. Walking in the mountains while wearing straw sandals, she didn't even feel tired at all, and her feet didn't feel tired at all. Not sour.
However, she just felt a little weird about walking in weeds.
"Zhang Hao, when you usually walk in the mountains, do you always walk in places with weeds?" Li Siyu couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
Along the way, she keenly discovered that Zhang Hao had always deliberately avoided walking on forest paths, choosing to walk where there were weeds as much as possible, or wherever it was difficult to walk.
She really didn't understand the logic of this. There was obviously a good way to go, but she chose to take a bad way, and to go to a place that was not a road at all. This was really puzzling to her.
Zhang Hao nodded: "This is the rule for us mountain walkers. We cannot walk on forest paths."
"Oh?" Li Siyu put his hands behind his back, stopped from time to time, simply took pictures of the mountain scenery as material, and asked casually: "Why?"
Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Because in the eyes of us mountain walkers, there are mountain spirits and wild monsters guarding both sides of this kind of forest path. If you often walk this kind of path, it is too easy to be guarded by mountain spirits and wild monsters." If you keep an eye on it, something could happen easily.”
"Of course, if you just take a walk on a regular basis and don't walk often, as long as you are not too unlucky, or your yin energy is too heavy and your yang energy is too weak, nothing will happen. At most, you will Just a little bit more tired than usual." He thought for a moment and then added.
Li Siyu thought for a moment, and asked cautiously and curiously: "Are there really such things as mountain spirits and wild monsters? Or... are they made up by people?"
