I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 95, Ancient

"Ok?"

Fang Rui subconsciously glanced at Fang Xueshi, seeing that Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan were all there, so he relaxed slightly.

In fact, they were eating at this time, how could they not be there?

Even with Fang Rui's explanation before, the two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, would not run around out of his sight.

Plus, these phoenix swallows...

Because Fang Rui was out for an outing, Fang Rui didn't want to be too constrained by these phoenix swallows. Fang Xue and the others had two each, and let them take turns to let them go out to let the wind out. A total of four were released, and these little guys were left alone. .

As for Liu Pan'er and his ilk?

impossible.

Don't say that there are no extra phoenix swallows.Even if there are extra phoenix-tailed swallows and they are given to Liu Pan'er, if something happens to the other party, it is impossible to fly so far to find this place.

"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!"

Two phoenix-tailed swallows chirped, fluttered their small wings, and fluttered up and down in the air.

Having been with them for so long, Fang Rui already understood some of the body language of these little guys, and probably understood the meaning: they found some treasure, but they couldn't beat the guards, so they came to rescue the soldiers.

'What the hell happened? ' His heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, this is a strange beast?! It seems to be the phoenix-tailed swallow recorded in "The Spectrum of Different Beasts"? It's a blessing to be able to subdue these little guys." Ge Changgeng praised.

"The Taoist master is very knowledgeable! Speaking of which, getting them is also a coincidence."

Fang Rui stood up: "These little fellows are looking for me to bring rescuers! I'll go and have a look, please ask the Taoist priest to take care of this side."

"rest assured."

Ge Changgeng seemed to have thought of something, Fu Xu smiled and said, "Going here may be the luck of my little friend, but it's better to be careful."

talking.

He raised his hand, and three jade talismans, one gold, one red, and one blue, flew out: "This is for my little friend, as a protection. The golden bell jade talisman, the red fireball jade talisman, and the blue light-weight jade talisman... ... How to use it? My little friend must know it too, just push it hard."

"Thank you."

Fang Rui was not too polite, he accepted it generously, and then told Fang Xue and the third lady to leave with the two phoenix-tailed swallows.

……

"Chirp!"

Two phoenix-tailed swallows were extremely fast, leading the way ahead.

Fang Rui was no slower than the two phoenix swallows, chasing them, getting further and further away.

To be honest, the outing spot he chose was a little remote, but it was even more remote after following the two phoenix-tailed swallows.

Even, after walking for a while, there was no way, so Fang Rui could only rely on his body skills to quickly float across the vegetation.

I have been walking for about two or three miles.

The two phoenix-tailed swallows stopped flying. They waved their small wings and gestured up and down again.

"Are you there, just ahead?"

Fang Rui asked, his figure suddenly changed from extreme movement to extreme stillness. He stood still on a treetop, swayed slightly, and looked forward with his hands behind his back.

I see:

Surrounded by a large area of ​​thorny shrubs and lush weeds, there is a secluded pool, and the upstream stream winds, ding dong ding dong, and falls into it.

In fact, he didn't need to be reminded by the two phoenix-tailed swallows, he also noticed that something was wrong. Along the way, there were insects chirping and birds chirping everywhere, which was very lively, but it was very quiet near the water pool.

"Chirp!"

The two phoenix swallows nodded their heads to show their approval.

And at this time, two more phoenix-tailed swallows flew over in a flash, just like the two phoenix-tailed swallows that led Fang Rui over, their hair was also disheveled. language complaint.

Obviously, they are quite smart, two went to report, and two stayed, just staring here.

"Okay, let me vent my anger on you."

Fang Rui smiled, tiptoed, and floated over.

Of course, don't look at him being so reckless, in fact, he was already secretly careful, cheered up, and a network of true energy emerged in his body.

Just as he was about to approach the edge of the pool——

Whoosh!
A ray of emerald green light shot out, extremely fast.

The green light is extremely fast, and it is used as a sneak attack. If it is an ordinary fifth-rank warrior, if it is caught off guard, it may suffer a big loss.

But what is Fang Rui's realm?
The third grade refines the viscera, not to mention, taking precautions in advance.

"Come!"

His palms were full of zhenqi, and he held them forward. With a crackling sound, a big hand of zhenqi condensed in mid-air, and directly grabbed the green light.

After catching it, he took a closer look, only to find that the emerald green light turned out to be a small snake more than one foot long, with an emerald green body, like jasper.

It's just that it's beautiful, but it's also poisonous. The venom dripping from its snake mouth corrodes the ground into pits and sizzling sounds.

"An alien beast? No wonder."

A flash of understanding flashed in Fang Rui's eyes: "No wonder the Phoenix-tailed Swallows suffered a lot. If they weren't also speed-type beasts and could fly, I'm afraid, it would not be as simple as losing some hair."

"Fizz!"

Even if this little green snake is caught, it is still struggling desperately, spitting snake letters, and its eyes are fierce.

"An unruly beast? I like it the most."

Fang Rui smiled gently, moved his body, and took it aside.

The specific details are not listed, but after a while, after some friendly exchanges with him, the little green snake initially expressed its obedience.

"Chirp!"

At this time, the four phoenix-tailed swallows had already flown to the edge of the pond, chirping and flying up and down, signaling that there is a baby over there, so hurry over.

Fang Rui went to have a look, and found: the edge of the pool, there was a patch of small strange rocks with jagged teeth, the pool was the bottom of the rocks, the water in the pool was clear, and fish could be seen swimming among them.

These are only the second, and the most important thing is: there is a plant emitting a faint green light on the edge of the pool.

It is only half a foot high, the size of a plate, and has five leaves on the stem. The leaves are somewhat similar to mint, but they are much more delicate than mint.

"A strange plant like a jade plum tree?"

Fang Rui looked and looked, but couldn't recognize what kind of strange plant it was.

Although he has read a lot of miscellaneous notes and travel notes, they are still half-baked at present. Moreover, since this strange plant has not produced strange fruits, it is indeed difficult to distinguish it.

"However, no matter what kind of strange plant it is, this is a good harvest!"

"Thinking about it, it should be four phoenix-tailed swallows scrambling around. They found this place and wanted to snatch this strange plant, but they were taught a lesson by that strange little snake, and finally came to me to rescue them. '

Fang Rui thought to himself.

"Chirp!"

At this moment, the four phoenix-tailed swallows approached again and flew up and down.

"You want to eat its leaves?"

Fang Rui thought for a moment, picked off a leaf, and with a stroke of true energy, split it into four and shot it at them.

They found this strange plant, and they still have credit, and they should be rewarded for their credit!
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The four phoenix-tailed swallows happily held their mouths, and swallowed them in one gulp, looking extremely happy.

In stark contrast to this was the newly subdued little snake.

"Fizz!"

It was spitting snake letters, restless for a while, if Fang Rui hadn't had a friendly exchange with it just now, at this moment, it might violently attack the four phoenix-tailed swallows.

"be honest!"

Fang Rui snorted, and directly calmed down the strange little snake, and immediately didn't bother to care about it anymore. He was in a dilemma at this time, how to deal with this strange plant.

"Put it here? It's not safe even if the little snake is guarded by it. The four phoenix-tailed swallows can find it today, and so can others tomorrow. If someone kills the little snake and takes the strange plant, Then it will be a chicken-and-egg fight."

Fang Rui hesitated for a while, and directly dug up the strange plant together with its roots, planning to take it back, let Ge Changgeng identify it, and see if it can be transplanted by the way.

He wasn't afraid of Ge Changgeng's thoughts, judging from his current relationship, the other party's character was pretty good.

Furthermore, judging from Ge Changgeng's previous reaction, it seems that he has already guessed something.

To take a step back, the strange beast little snake that guards the strange plant is only of the fifth or sixth rank, so there is a high probability that this strange plant will not be cherished too much.

……

"Congratulations, little friend. This is Jasper Lotus, which is currently a low-grade rare plant."

Ge Changgeng smiled lightly and said, "By the way, there are often strange beasts guarding the strange plants. As for Biyuhe, the guardian beasts are often Jasper snakes. Have you ever encountered them?"

'Sure enough, as I expected, this Biyuhe is not too cherished, Daoist Ge is only happy for me, and has no intention of coveting it. '

Fang Rui thought to himself, and took out the subdued little snake: "The Jade Snake? Is it it?"

"Glittering green, the whole body is like jasper, it really is a jasper snake. Little friend is capable!"

Ge Changgeng took a deep look at Fang Rui. There must be some special way to subdue a strange beast in such a short time.

However, he knows how to behave in the world, so he doesn't ask.

"Master Daoist, I don't know much about Biyuhe, so I need to ask for some advice." Fang Rui asked generously.

"Where the jasper lotus grows, mosquitoes do not grow; where the jasper snake lives, rats and deer avoid it. My friend transplanted the jasper lotus into his home, and it will be easier in the future."

"Is this Jasper Lotus really transplantable? It's just that the environment..." Fang Rui hesitated.

"Little friend, just spend some money and transform it. In addition, the odd plant has strong vitality. Even if the environment is slightly flawed, it will grow slower at most."

Ge Changgeng stroked his beard and said, "Under normal circumstances, jade lotus seeds, the strange fruit produced by jasper lotus, ripen in summer. If the environment is not suitable, it may be delayed until autumn and winter."

"The strange fruit, jade lotus, is probably more precious than the jade plums that my friends have eaten. To be honest, a leaf of this jasper lotus is actually equivalent to a jade plum, which can be brewed with jade lotus water , is similar to the method of brewing Yumei water..."

"No wonder, before the Phoenix-tailed swallow asked me for the leaves of the jasper lotus. '

Fang Rui thought to himself, stretched out his hand to pick another young leaf of Jasper Lotus, and ordered Qingyun to fetch a pot of boiling hot water and put it into it.

Gurgling!

The jasper-like leaves actually started to melt, floating up and down and producing a lot of air bubbles, forming a misty blue cloud over the wooden basin, like auspicious clouds.

In the end, a leaf completely melted, dyeing the whole pot of scalding hot water into the color of amber and jade. In the steaming heat, there were star-like jasper spots floating and sinking, which looked beautiful.

"Wow, brother, so beautiful!"

"Pretty!"

The two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, stared straight at each other, and the girls, big and small, all exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi were not much better, and their faces were full of amazement.

'This jade lotus water does look much better than jade plum water. '

Fang Rui thought to himself, and ordered a small bowl to be served to Ge Changgeng, himself, Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, Nannan, and Tongzi Qingyan, and the rest to be shared among Qingyun, Baishao and other servant girls. .

Immediately, there was another burst of cheers, and all the maids, big and small, were overjoyed.

"A few days ago it was Yumei water, and now it is Yuhe water. We are really blessed."

"It's not our great fortune, it's the master's great fortune, and we are all contaminated with the blessing!"

"I can't bear to drink such beautiful water."

……

"Delicious!"

The two little girls Fang Ling and Nannan drank water, their big eyes curved like crescent moons.

Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi both have gentle eyebrows and eyes, and there is also a look of liking on their faces.

……

boom!
Fang Rui touched the bowls with Ge Changgeng, and took a sip of the jade lotus water.

The hot jade lotus water, like amber and beautiful jade, enters the abdomen, but it brings a gust of cool air, surging in the body, not cold, not cold, just giving people a refreshing and refreshed feeling.

That is another experience that is different from eating yumezi and feeling warm and comfortable all over.

"Today, the old Taoist is lucky to follow my little friend." Ge Changgeng said with a smile.

However, Fang Rui knew that what Ge Changgeng said was more of a polite talk.

After all, people don't eat less jade plums, so how can they care about this bowl of jade lotus water?

"By the way, the Taoist said before that Jasper Lotus is 'currently a low-grade rare plant'. What does this mean? Could it still grow?" He asked curiously.

"Indeed. This jasper lotus is a very special kind of strange plant. It is an annual and bears the strange fruit jade lotus. This jade lotus is not only a strange fruit, but also a seed, which can be planted one after another."

Ge Changgeng stroked his beard and said: "My little friend's jasper lotus is only about three to five years old, and it is a low-grade rare plant; if it grows for a hundred years, it can become a middle-grade rare plant; if it is 300 years old, it is a top-grade rare plant." ; If it can grow for 500 years, it will become a top-quality rare plant and bear a top-quality strange fruit that surpasses the heavens and the earth.”

"As for the bigger year, there is no record in the books I read."

'This jasper lotus is actually a strange plant of the cultivation system?However, it is quite suitable for me. I really want to compare the life expectancy with it, and see how it will change after 8000 years of breeding. '

Fang Rui thought so, but said in his mouth: "The low-grade rare plants are good, but if they are really middle-grade rare plants, high-grade rare plants, I cherish them too much, and I can't protect them."

Judging from Ge Changgeng's tone, the value of this whole jasper lotus plant is probably equivalent to seven or eight jade plum seeds, which is not too much to cherish.

In other words, even with his apparent strength, he could still protect him.

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Ordinary people only see blessings, but my little friend sees possible hidden dangers. For this alone, little friend is very human." Ge Changgeng praised.

"The Daoist is too famous."

Fang Rui shook his head, touched the bowls with Ge Changgeng again, took a sip of jade lotus water, looked at the beautiful lake and spring scenery around him, and sighed sincerely: "The sun, the moon and the breeze, the mountains, rivers and lakes, are the endless treasures of the creator. This Mochou Lake is indeed Zhong Lingminxiu, who can breed such a rare plant as Jasper Lotus."

"Little friend's words, it should be understood."

Ge Changgeng was obviously in a good mood, took a sip of jade lotus water, and talked about sex: "Compared to other places, Mochou Lake is indeed exceptionally sensitive and beautiful, and this also involves an ancient anecdote."

"Oh?" Fang Rui became interested and cheered at the right time.

"In ancient times, it was said that a real dragon fell here... the dragon ball fell and turned into Mochou Lake. Throughout the ages, countless people have come here to hunt for treasures, and even the bottom of the lake has been searched over and over again, but there is no result. Slow down Slowly, no one will believe it."

Ge Changgeng stroked his beard and said, "However, the old Taoist feels that this legend is true. Because, near Mochou Lake, strange plants will be born every few years. It’s like my little friend’s jasper lotus.”

"To tell you the truth, my friend, I often come here to fish. Apart from focusing on the mountains and rivers, I also have some intentions to pick up leaks, haha!"

"The Taoist priest is frank." Fang Rui also smiled.

"By the way, the three jade talismans are not used, so return them to the Taoist priest." He took out the three jade talismans that Ge Changgeng had given him before.

"No need."

But Ge Changgeng waved his hand: "If you give it to my little friend, it's a gift. Why do you need to take it back?"

"Then thank the Taoist priest."

Ge Changgeng was generous, and Fang Rui didn't show any pretense, so he accepted it directly.

These three jade talismans can indeed increase part of his combat power, so they will be used at any critical moment.

Had lunch.

Ge Changgeng bid farewell and left, took Qingyan Tongzi and continued to go fishing on the other side.

Fang Rui's family is here to play.

The blue sky and white clouds, the lake and the spring scenery, the family reunion, the joy and harmony, he is in a very good mood.

Even if Ge Changgeng reminded Dayu of the darkness from the side, those troubles were temporarily forgotten, and he focused on the landscape at this moment.

After playing for an afternoon, I was satisfied. At dusk, Fang Rui's family bid farewell to Ge Changgeng and returned to the city.

……

Just when Fang Rui's family returned to the city——

Ge Changgeng also took Qingyan Tongzi back to Baiyun Temple, and was meeting an unexpected guest.

"Zhang Henshui?!" Qingyan Tongzi gritted his teeth with an angry look on his face when he saw the person coming.

Ge Changgeng stopped Qingyan Tongzi: "Zhang Yuzhang, you are here, I don't know why?"

There was a sense of politeness and alienation in his tone.

Yes, this is exactly the friend he used to be, but the former famous catcher with the gold medal has become the god catcher with the jade medal.

As for the specifics of this matter, it was not as simple as what Ge Changgeng Fang Rui said. After hearing the truth, that friend not only never took the initiative to find him again, but even filed a complaint with his superiors, which almost killed Ge Changgeng.

"Ge Daochang,"

Zhang Henshui didn't talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point: "Zhou Changfa is already old, and he will retire in a few years. He won't be able to shelter Ge Daochang for too long."

"I came here to ask Daoist Ge a question: Would you like to switch to the spiritual practice of the imperial court, join the imperial court, and seek refuge with Si Zheng, the new God of the future?"

"The new arresting officer, Sizheng?! It seems that Zhang Yuzhang has already caught another line."

Ge Changgeng shook his head: "However, the old Taoist has no intention of switching to the spiritual practice of the imperial court, and he is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, so he can't stand restraint, which disappointed Zhang Yuzhang."

"Forget it, I don't force it. However, let me remind Daoist Ge that the lord is from the middle of the state, and his power is far beyond what Daoist Ge can imagine. Now, the lord has not fulfilled his duties, and his foundation has not yet been established. This is a good opportunity to take refuge in him." , if we wait a few more years..."

"Zhang Yuzhang can go."

Ge Changgeng interrupted Zhang Henshui and picked up the tea bowl.

This is the meaning of seeing off guests.

"Ah!"

Facing Ge Changgeng's ignorance of current affairs, Zhang Henshui didn't get angry, shook his head, strode up, and left only one sentence: "I hope that next time I see Daoist Ge, it won't be a sword-to-arms encounter."

After Zhang Henshui left.

"Master, shall we leave Huaiyin Mansion?" Qingyan Tongzi asked anxiously.

"Leaving Huaiyin Mansion?"

Ge Changgeng shook his head: "The world is so big, where is the practice of ancient spirits not rejected? It's useless to change another place. I'm a little tired and don't want to run away anymore. Besides, it's not that time yet..."

"Damn it! If it wasn't for that chapter of hate, you wouldn't have been exposed and recorded by the court..."

"These... don't need to say any more."

Ge Changgeng smiled wryly, and when he thought of Fang Rui, he suddenly sighed, "We are both human, so why is there such a big difference?"

……

Another half month passed in a hurry.

On this day, when Fang Rui came back from the Yamen, the third lady hurried to find him: "Brother Rui, there is news from the three states in the southern border!"

"Oh?!"

Fang Rui's heart skipped a beat.
