my dream forest

Chapter 100 The Zhongnando Hermit

"Go ahead."

Feng Tiance let the hunting dog lead the way, and he followed behind.One person and one dog didn't know how far they had gone, and they stopped again when the sky turned slightly pale.

He brought Wolf Seven back to the space again, and within 10 minutes, he returned to the dense forest.But this time, he didn't bring Wolf Seven out, he was about to start going down the mountain to find a place where there were people.

Go down a trough, and there is a valley below.Taking a general look at the direction, Feng Tiance continued to walk towards the low-lying place.

The mountains on both sides of the valley were constantly lowering with the direction he was heading. When he reached the opening, there was a large piece of relatively flat land in front of him, but it was still surrounded by mountains.

"Am I walking into a bigger valley again?"

Feng Tiance realized that he might have walked into the depths of the mountains, and this place was probably getting farther and farther away from populated towns.

When he took out his mobile phone, there was no doubt that there was no signal, so he could only judge the direction by himself and move on.

"Sure enough, if we go further, the terrain is slowly rising again. I'm going to go spinning in the mountains."

Judging from Feng Tiance's experience, he walked into the depths of the mountains, surrounded by mountains and connected by mountains.If you are not familiar with the road, you have to spend a lot of effort to go out.

After continuing to walk for an hour or so, some soil finally gradually emerged on the ground full of gravel.The vegetation also began to grow denser, and he estimated that he might encounter dense forests again.

"Hey, what did I see? There seems to be cooking smoke in the distance."

Seeing that it is almost noon, if this is in the village, wouldn't every household have already started making lunch?Seeing cooking smoke is not unusual at all. But there is a remote mountain with no people in front of you. Seeing cooking smoke is like seeing a bright light that guides the way.

Feng Tiance didn't care about conserving his energy, so he ran away, so he could get to the ground quickly and make sure if there were people living there.

Stone walls and red tiles, smoke from cooking, walking through a small forest, Feng Tiance really saw a big living person.

"My little brother, where did you come from? This place has not been visited by outsiders for a long time."

Walking out of the house was a man whose age was hard to tell.This person is not tall, but thin, with white hair tied in a bun behind his head.But his face is rosy, and there are almost no wrinkles on his face, but his face does not look old at all.

"Well, uncle, I got lost in the mountains and came here by accident. I want to ask, how do I get out of the mountains?"

Feng Tiance hesitated for a moment, but still called uncle, and walked in front of the man.

"My place is already in the depths of the mountain. It's not easy to go out. It just so happens that someone will bring me some things today. You might as well wait and go down the mountain with him then."

The old man was wearing a coarse cloth coat, and he really looked like a fairy.

"Uncle, don't be so troublesome, just show me the direction, and I can go out by myself."

Feng Tiance didn't want to disturb others, the old man saw that he was a hermit practicing in the deep mountains, so he planned to ask the direction and find his way down the mountain by himself.

"No trouble, no trouble, go in and have a drink of saliva, and eat here at noon. At that time, if the person hasn't come yet, I will show you the way."

The old man smiled slightly, and kindly invited Feng Tiance to sit in the room.

Feng Tiance's hospitality was hard to come by, he thanked the old man, went into the room and sat down to drink a bowl of water.The water is ordinary mountain spring water, a little sweet, but very thirst-quenching.

"Uncle, what's your surname? How many years have you lived here?"

It was not easy for Feng Tiance to ask others about their cultivation, so he chatted casually for fear of being taboo.

"It's been more than ten years, maybe 20 years. I live in the mountains, and I seldom contact the outside world. Time and name don't have too much specific meaning to me, so let's not talk about it. Brother, sit down by yourself for a while, Mantou It’s already steamed, I’m going to stir-fry some vegetarian dishes and I’m ready for dinner.”

As the old man spoke, he walked out of the house. His kitchen was on the side of the house and was open to the air.

In fact, Feng Tiance didn't want to spend money here at first, because there is a shortage of supplies in the deep mountains, and the basic daily necessities have to be brought in from outside the mountains on the back of others, and anything is very expensive.

But the old man seemed to have such an aura, he looked very kind, but it was hard for people to refuse what he said.

"Well, people don't want to announce their names, so don't tell them if you don't tell them. I'll see what's in the backpack. When I leave later, I'll leave something behind."

At dawn, when he came out of the space and went down the mountain, he put on his backpack.In the backpack are two bottles of mineral water, a large pack of compressed biscuits, a few pieces of chocolate, a sunhat, a disposable raincoat, and two sticks of agarwood incense sticks.

These two incense sticks were put in his backpack before, and they can be used to repel mosquitoes in the mountains and forests.This incense stick can be given to the elderly when they leave, and other things are not suitable.

After putting away his backpack, he turned his head and looked around. The furnishings in the room were very simple.A small wooden table, a few wooden chairs, and a futon for meditation in the open space near the window.

There is a small compartment inside, which should be the old man's bedroom.There are no shrines or hanging statues on the walls, only a small incense burner on the window sill, and the whole room is a bit empty.

"Come on, little brother, let's eat."

The old man came in quickly, Feng Tiance got up and took the tray in his hand, and put it on the table.A plate of white flour steamed buns, a plate of fried vegetables, and a small plate of pickles.

"The conditions in the mountains are simple, don't be disgusted with it, little brother."

The old man bowed his head to eat after saying something polite, and Feng Tiance also grabbed a big steamed bun and ate it.Both of them ate quietly. It can be seen that the old man is more particular about "eating without talking".

After dinner, Feng Tiance helped to clean up the dishes, and then went to clean the dishes, then took out the two sticks of incense sticks from his backpack and put them on the small wooden table.

"Uncle, I have some incense stick here, I will leave it to you. There are many mosquitoes on the mountain, this incense can have the effect of repelling mosquitoes."

Feng Tiance felt that practitioners should like incense sticks. For example, his old-fashioned grandfather liked to light a stick of incense when he was meditating.

"Brother, you have a heart! Let me see, ho, you are still agarwood and incense sticks."

The old man didn't refuse immediately, but picked up an incense stick to his nose and smelled it, lit another one and inserted it into the incense burner on the window sill.

"Well, the agarwood raw material of this incense stick is not bad, but the craftsmanship of this production is not good. In fact, it is better not to use a pure single spice for the incense stick. If the two spices are compatible, the effect can greatly improved."

The old man is obviously a person who understands fragrance, and his attainments are still very deep, Feng Tiance nodded repeatedly with a few words.

"Uncle, I learned how to make this incense stick by myself, so you are laughing at me."

Feng Tiance smiled embarrassedly, but he didn't hide anything, and he took the initiative to say that these incense sticks were his own handicraft.
