Brocade legend

Chapter 212
Hearing Zhu Liu's incomprehensible words, Yang Sen shook his head and said, "Oh, the cow chews peonies, burns the qin and cooks the crane, and plays the zither to the cow."

The others laughed when they heard what Yang Sen said was interesting.

Zhu Liu was so angry that he picked up a knife and was about to hit Yang Sen. Shi Shi hurriedly stopped them from fighting, but he got hit a few times, and the others rushed up to fight.

Liu Biao was old and didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he was still a young man after all, and he got along very well with his brothers these days, so he was finally involved in it helplessly.

Lu Bing watched them frolicking together, and even Liu Biao laughed and joined in, and couldn't help nodding. It's really not a loss to come out this time and go around so many places.

After playing around for a while, they came to Yungu again.

Yungu is located in the east of Huangshan Mountain and is a valley.Cheng Yuanfeng, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, once studied here, so it was named Prime Minister Yuan.Fu Yan, a scholar of the former dynasty, roamed here and wrote the word "Yungu" in calligraphy at the request of the bowl-throwing Zen monk. Since then, the temple has been renamed Yungu Temple.The main scenic spots in Yungu include Yungu Mountain Villa, ancient trees, strange rocks, "Jiulong Waterfall" and "Baizhang Spring".

There are nearly a hundred stone carvings on the cliffs of Huangshan, including seal script, official script, script script, regular script, and cursive script, and all schools of Yan, Liu, Ou, and Zhao.While admiring the beautiful scenery, the literati and scholars of the past dynasties left a vast number of poems and songs.Among them, the poem "Huangshan Mountain has four thousand feet, 32 lotus peaks. Danya with stone pillars, and golden lotus in Han" left by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he visited Huangshan is the most classic, and it is still being recited today.

Lu Bing, Zhu Liu, Dong Hai, Shitou, Yang Sen, Sun Quan, and Liu Biao went around the mountain and had a good time. Finally, they spent two taels of silver at the mountain people's house and ate a meal of stewed chicken. downhill.

The stewed chicken is stewed with dried bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and stone fungus dried by the people in the mountains. I still have endless aftertaste until I go down the mountain.

During the past few days in the mountains, Lu Bing and the others often saw merchants coming up the mountain to buy tea, shiitake mushrooms, stone fungus, bamboo shoot clothes, dried bamboo shoots, bracken, and dried chrysanthemums from the mountain people. It is a legendary mountain treasure, and it can be sold for a high price when it comes out of the mountain.

Especially the tea, Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Houkui, Dinggu Dafang, and Keemun black tea are all good teas, and they have to pay tribute to the palace every year.

There are also Huangshan carambola and monk torreya that Lu Bing and others picked and eaten on the mountain, which are also one of the tributes.

The carambola wine specially brewed in the palace is exclusively for the empresses and concubines to enjoy.The main production area is Sixi in the southwest peaks of Huangshan Mountain.There are two kinds of torreya here: one is big and pointed; the other is small and round, known as "monk torreya".

"Monk torreya" has a thin shell, the torreya coat is easy to fall off, and the nuts are crispy and delicious, which can also be cut into slices. It is a rare tribute in the palace.

Shexian County, Huizhou Prefecture is the place where these mountain products are traded. In addition, the special products of Shexian County, pears, loquats, kumquats, etc., are packaged in batches and sent to various places in Ming Dynasty, and even overseas in the Western Regions.

These mountain delicacies come out of Huizhou, and they are treasures that can only be enjoyed by wealthy people.

Huizhou pears, Santan loquats, and Shexian kumquats are mainly produced in Shexian County, and their cultivation began in the Song Dynasty. These fruits are beautiful in appearance, thin in skin and tender in flesh, juicy and sweet, crisp, tender and delicious.In particular, kumquats are sweeter than tangerines and full of fragrance, known as "a tree of kumquats and ten miles of fragrance".These fruits have been listed as precious fruits in the past dynasties.

After Lu Bing and others went down the mountain, they came straight to She County.

Lu Bing and the others were bold and skilled. After wandering around the mountain for so many days, they got impatient and detoured to the official road, so they followed the mountain road, crossing mountains and ridges, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and went straight to the county seat of She County.

The mountain roads are secluded, and in the deep mountains and old forests of Daming, there is never a shortage of bandits and road tyrants. It's just that Lu Bing and others are accompanied by seven men, armed with weapons.

Lu Bing and the others traveled all the way, and felt that they were being watched. They followed for several miles, but no one dared to make a move. Lu Bing and the others laughed it off and let it go.

But at this moment, Lu Bing suddenly heard a strange noise, all seven of them were warriors, and they stopped at the same time to be on guard.

Suddenly seventy or eighty bandits rushed out from the forest and surrounded Lu Bing and others.

Lu Bing looked around, and saw the seventy or eighty bandits covered their faces, their clothes were messy, and they were surrounded by random matching. They were carrying steel knives, iron rods, axes, and other low-quality weapons, but they looked fierce. , there is also some murderous look on the body, the rust on the weapon can be seen as the corrosion of human blood.

It seemed that these were a group of bandits who had seen blood, not the farmer-like survivors they saw the most along the way.

In Lu Bing's eyes, these seemingly tough bandits are not scary, but the two archers hiding in the haystack should pay attention.

Lu Bing gave Yang Sen a wink, and Yang Sen had already noticed two reflections buried in the haystack. Yang Sen didn't stare at it, but still looked ahead, pretending not to pay attention, but his hands were slowly put on his waist. In the buckskin dart bag between...

The group of bandits, at the head, was a strong man. It was already autumn and winter, but he covered his face and shirtless, and he was not afraid of the cold. It’s not easy, if you want gold and silver, it’s fatal, so I won’t let you!”

Lu Bing and the others couldn't help but smile after hearing the bandit leader's "witty words".

"Hey! You still dare to laugh? Take out all the money on your body!" Seeing that Lu Bing and others dared to laugh, the bandit leader couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "And the clothes on his body! Take them off!"

"You guys are so brave, you dare to block the way and rob the road!" Sun Quan was acting as a servant, so he had to show it. He stepped forward and scolded: "Don't think we are easy to bully, we have bodyguards! Hurry up! Let us go, our young master is a scholar, if you dare to act recklessly, we will definitely sue the government and punish you severely!"

"Hey, this little brother has a serious tone! You are scared when you are a man? What about a scholar?" Not only was the bandit leader not afraid, but he laughed loudly: "The man travels all over the world, relying on this big knife in his hand to eat , Who hasn’t killed anyone! Since you are so arrogant, then you might as well save your life! It will save you trouble in the future.”

As soon as Lu Bing heard it, he knew that these bandits were not local, but wandering bandits.

Generally, those who run around and do not have their own territory are relatively powerful gangsters.It is the so-called Jiangyang thief, who eats wherever he goes.If you don't have enough strength, you don't dare to fight in other people's territory, otherwise you should have been killed long ago.
