Play treasure master

Chapter 734
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao quickly said, "Master Daoist, why don't we have a drink together as hosts at noon?"

"Fate is only before this door, you two are invited!" After finishing speaking, the old man walked away leisurely.

Xiao Ying said, "Go up the mountain and have a look."

After going up the mountain, there are not as many people as there are in the square at the entrance. There is no special landscape on the mountain, mainly local people are climbing the mountain for leisure, and a large number of tourists are more keen to take pictures in front of the archway.

When they arrived at the small park halfway up the mountain, the two of them found nothing special along the way, so they found an empty long stone chair to sit down and rest.This section of the mountain road is not short, it is said to be halfway up the mountain, but it is actually close to the top of the mountain.This Xianding Mountain has a "big belly", and the small park is on the upper slope.

The cliffs on the top of the mountain are about tens of meters high, and the dark red rocks have no vegetation attached, which is different from the lush and lush other parts of the mountain.

At the same time, Yu Yao discovered that the trees protruding from the "cauldron mouth" on the top of the mountain were all the same.In other words, there are no other trees in the "Dingkou", only this kind of tree.

Yu Yao didn't know this kind of tree, he thought it was an oak tree, but it was different from ordinary oak trees.

"Do you know this kind of tree?" Yu Yao asked Xiao Ying.

"Like an oak tree, but there are too many types of oak trees, so I'm not sure." Xiao Ying replied.

While the two were talking, an old couple came to the front, maybe they were tired from walking, the old gentleman beat his back lightly, while the old lady supported him, and looked at Yu Yao and Xiao Ying.

Yu Yao and Xiao Ying stood up, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, thank you." The old couple did not refuse.

Yu Yao immediately asked the old man wearing glasses, "Old man, the trees on the top of the mountain are oak trees, right?"

"Yes, yellow-backed oak." The old man nodded and adjusted his sitting posture slightly, "Young man, are you here for a tour?"

"That's right." Yu Yao replied, "It's also quite strange, this kind of tree only grows on the top of the mountain."

"It's not just this strange." With the matter of giving up the seat, the old man said in detail, "This oak, first of all, is a small tree, and its height is generally only a dozen meters, but the oak on the top of the mountain, Three to 40 meters is enough! Second, the yellow-backed oak is on our side, and most of them grow on open hillsides, and many of them grow together with pine forests."

"Oh?"

"You know matsutake, right?" the old man asked again.

"I know this for sure."

"It's called matsutake, but matsutake can only be dug in places where there are yellow-backed oaks."

After hearing this, Yu Yao said, "So, this piece of yellow-backed oak is quite special."

"That's right, black bears love to eat the nuts from the yellow-backed oak!" The old man smiled.

"Black bear?" Yu Yao had never heard of this.Generally speaking, bears love honey and fish.

"This is the case with the black bears in the Yunling area." The old man explained, "I lived in a relatively remote mountain village when I was a child. As long as the yellow-backed oak bears enough fruit this year, the farmland at the foot of the mountain will not be easily ruined; if If the yellow-backed oak bears less fruit, black bears will come out and harm the crops. Isn’t there a saying in the north that tells black blind men to break sticks? It does more damage than food…”

The old man was very talkative, and the old lady next to him didn't interrupt.

At this moment, Xiao Ying suddenly interjected, "Old man, do the bears here also eat matsutake?"

"This bear is an omnivore, why not eat it?" said the old man, "and matsutake is very delicious."

Xiao Ying nodded, "No one has gone in to take care of this mountain top, right?"

"It seems that there is nothing special inside, but it is sunken into a basin. It can't be taken care of. Think about it, isn't it equivalent to a wild forest surrounded by cliffs!"

"En." Xiao Ying responded, and Yu Yao said at this time, "Old man, you have a lot of research on trees!"

"Before I retired, I belonged to the Garden Bureau." The old man laughed, "So you are asking the right person!"

"Then why isn't Xianding Mountain included in the Jinjiang National Geopark?" Yu Yao asked again.

"When planning back then, I wanted to include it, but in the end the higher-ups issued instructions and took it out. The reason is not clear, but it makes sense. This Xianding Mountain is relatively independent, separated from the Jinjiang National Geopark. The county road can also be regarded as a small scenic spot.”

After chatting for a while, the old couple looked as if they had rested enough, so they got up and went down the mountain.

"Turn to the back mountain to have a look?" Yu Yao said to Xiao Ying.

The two of them detoured back from the small path next to the small park, and came to the back mountain, which is the north side of the mountain, and they could see a lake below. To be precise, there were three small lakes, but there were rivers between them. The same waterway is connected, and at the same time, a small lake on the easternmost side is connected to the Jinsha River by another waterway.

"Three talent array..." Xiao Ying stared at the lake below the mountain, and couldn't help but muttered.

"Huh?" Yu Yao also knew about the Three Talents Formation, but the Three Talents Formation he knew was the military formation of the Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiguang once used the Three Talents Formation to break the Japanese pirates' Butterfly Formation.However, when Xiao Ying said this at this time, it was definitely not a confrontation.

"Three talents, heaven, earth and man, one cauldron determines the universe." Xiao Ying looked at Yu Yao, "This is a place of geomantic omen, and it has been modified. It is absolutely true to say that there were masters practicing here in ancient times!"

"change?"

"Isn't the yellow-backed oak that the old man said just now abnormal?" Xiao Ying said again, "It's just that 3000 years is too long to talk about the Shang and Zhou Dynasties! And the black bear... "

"Ah?" Yu Yao couldn't help but look at Xiao Ying, "The Daoist said that the disciples of the sect are different types of adults, you don't just think that the one who cultivates is a...bear, right?"

"There may be more than one!" Xiao Ying responded casually, and even took out the compass.

"Could it be Xiong Da Xiong Er?" Yu Yao blurted out without thinking.Mainly it was too "exciting" for a while, and I had a conversation with an old couple before, thinking of honey, talking about matsutake, and Xiong Daxiong Er had done "honey matsutake".

"That's not what I meant. What I mean is that there may be teachers and apprentices, masters and servants."

Xiao Ying took a compass to study for a while, and finally said solemnly, "Fengshui has indeed been changed! There are abnormalities on the top of the mountain, and there are also abnormalities at the foot of the south side of the mountain; however, the foot of the south side of the mountain is now the entrance, and there are archways and squares, so I can't see it. What are the traces?"

But Yu Yao waved his hand, "I'll talk about that later. Tell me first, if there is really a cave in this mountain, the so-called expert is a bear, right?"

"It's hard to say. I'm just analyzing the existing clues." Xiao Ying looked at Yu Yao, "If it is, don't be too surprised. 3000 years ago, we knew too little! All are analyzed with modern science."

"I'm not surprised, I simply can't accept it." Yu Yao smiled wryly.

"Let's not discuss this for now, I'm just making bold assumptions based on the known information." Xiao Ying also smiled lightly, "The key now is to see if there is any hidden cave around the Xianding Mountain. possible!"

"There will definitely be no places with roads, and there will be no places near the south entrance." Yu Yao did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"Yes." Xiao Ying said, "The valley on the west side and the lake on the north side are not suitable for building caves in terms of Feng Shui; the rest are the riverside on the east side and the basin in the cliff on the top of the mountain!"
