I became an old man in my leisure time

Chapter 109: Summer Outing, Promise, Matsutake

Miss Qin is still wearing the wide robe with big sleeves that she is accustomed to. It is also the orthodox style for women from a high-ranking family in Dawu, but it is not as exaggerated as the old clothes. ReadМ

The stand-up collar is folded across the front, the cuffs are nearly one foot, so you can easily cover your hands, the lower edge of the top is still close to hanging down from the knees, and the skirt covers the ankles.

Mei Lan Zhu Ju is not a eldest lady, but a maid. The cuffs are about half a foot long and the length is a few inches above the wrist. The hem of her top only reaches the hip line and the hem of her skirt is at the calf, so that it is convenient to do things.

Bai Suqing, on the other hand, wore a long one-piece dress that reached her calf and a sleeveless jacket, a typical summer outfit for women from the East China Sea.

In many areas of the East China Sea, the summer temperature is over 30 degrees. If someone like Miss Qin wraps up her clothes in three to five layers, she will be able to cover up the food in half a day.

Xiao Ping'er followed suit and had the same long skirt and small coat as Sister Bai, but the skirt only reached her knees so that she could work in the fields.

Xiao Man, however, moved closer to Gu Ke. They were wearing short-sleeved old men's shirts and straight wide-leg pants, which looked cool.

The only difference is that she also wears a corset underneath to prevent her chest from being too turbulent. Gu Ke naturally has no need for this.

The simple advantage is that it is cool, and it floats on the water. It floats lightly for several feet, and the wind passes through the gaps in the linen clothes and takes away the heat.

Qin and Bai were not envious either.

Miss Qin's own blood is much warmer than the outside world, and Bai Suqing's Bihaijin is even cooler, comparable to a humanoid refrigerator.

The two of them had big sleeves fluttering and long skirts fluttering. They could glide smoothly in the air with almost no movement, full of fairy spirit.

Coming down from the mountain, everyone walked along the stream.

Dawu is higher in the west and lower in the east, and the same is true for Yulong Valley.

The stream on the mountain winds toward the east. There are abundant wild grasses beside the stream, which is almost half a person tall.

Everyone took turns to clear the way, sweeping away the weeds left and right with the bamboo sticks they brought with them.

Gu Ke occasionally stopped to check some plants that he could not identify, and the two children would help identify them.

The more than twenty miles of walking and stopping only took half an hour to complete. It was not even a warm-up for everyone. The masters in the second round were so strong.

Gu Ke looked at the long tunnel: "Let's go and have a look."

The girls didn't say anything, just stared at the deep and straight passage in silence.

When they came in here a few months ago, they thought it was just a normal confinement.

The days may be lonely and lonely, but there is no danger.

Unexpectedly, there are not only strange things here, but also a "fairy family" popping up here.

After killing the monsters and following the "Xian Family", their strength increased greatly, and even Wuzong had two.

If nothing unexpected happens, everyone can be promoted to Wuzong in the future.

Things in this world...are really full of blessings and misfortunes, mysterious and unpredictable.

Light the torches and file away.

Soon after arriving at the stone gate, Miss Qin and Bai Suqing both had inexplicable expressions on their faces.

Gu Ke also looked at them: "How is it? Are there any changes here?"

Miss Qin sighed and stepped forward slowly: "When I first came here, halfway through the passage, the blood and energy in my body began to drain. When you came here, the blood and energy in my body stopped losing, but there was an invisible phenomenon. Barrier, impenetrable”

Bai Suqing also confirmed this: "It is indeed true."

Gu Ke rubbed his chin: "We can't let anyone lose blood on the wall of the Ancestral Mausoleum Hall."

Since he built the pergola corridor, everyone has entered and exited the workshops and processing workshops in the ancestral mausoleum hall through this.

When I get close to the wall at night, the abnormal blood loss disappears.

But it was a system building, controlled by him, and there was no invisible barrier.

Miss Qin walked to the big stone gate, raised her hand and slapped it.

There was a soft bang, but the big blue-black stone door did not move at all, and even the stone skin did not fall off.

Everyone looked sideways: This was Miss Qin's palm, or a palm after she was promoted to Wuzong.

A normal big bluestone would be lightly burned by her palm if it was burned with blood energy, and it would not be difficult for it to break into pieces.

Miss Qin had an unexpected but reasonable feeling: "Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

She turned around and explained to everyone: "When I applied my palm, I felt that the stone gate was completely absorbed by the strength and blood, but there was no feedback at all, as if...it was absorbed."

Bai Suqing also went over and slapped it with ten palms in a row. The blue sea was dense and dense, and it rushed towards the inside of the stone door.

Immediately she also closed her palms and nodded: "My blue sea energy is connected back and forth, and it explodes after it goes deep. But once it enters this stone door, it will disappear completely even if it is only an inch."

Others also stepped forward to feel it, even the stone walls of the tunnel above and below the big stone gate.

Just like this, I hit the test all the way and walked out of the tunnel again.

Gu Ke shook his head: "Same as last time, there are no changes, and there is no place for entry or exit."

As he spoke, he raised his head and said, "Let's go to the cliff again and have a look."

The women have no objections.

Gu Ke used his meticulous perception to determine the simplest route and took the lead to climb the cliff.

There is also no abnormal blood loss here, but the invisible barrier still exists, and it is more intuitive.

Bai Suqing raised her hand and thrust forward into the air in front of her.

Her forearms and palms were wrapped in green blood, and she pushed forward slowly, but stopped quickly.

He gently pulled his hand away and took it back again.

When she inspected the valley before, she suspected that this, like the invisible barrier in the small hut, was created by Gu Ke.

He denied the speculation and she no longer doubted it.

Even if he wanted to use this method to keep Miss Qin and the others for a while, he didn't have to lie to her.

But Miss Qin also had this guess, after all, this is very much like the system's method of trapping strange things.

But Gu Ke only triggered the friendship contract she signed in March.

There are things that both parties cannot do malicious things to each other, and confinement is naturally one of them.

However, he still added: "But maybe it has something to do with me."

He raised his hand and drew a circle, indicating the entire Yulong Valley: "The power I summoned to protect us has been affecting Yulong Valley. It is more powerful than I can imagine, but it is not something I can drive at will. This may be a kind of self-protection."

The women thought about it for a while and nodded to show that they understood.

This is not difficult to understand.

If this power is compared to blood, it is like Miss Qin being miserable because of the blood of the scorching sun.

Or it can be compared to the scorching sun sect, which borrowed the power of the Dawu Zhongting and ended up falling apart.

There is a price to pay for driving power. The stronger it is, the harder it is to control, and it may even backfire.

What has Gu Ke shown in the past few months?

The void summoned a magical fairy building, which could turn food into a different species and mature ten times faster. The sunflower scripture was also the treasure of the sect.

Is it possible to use such a magical power without paying a price? At least they thought it was impossible.

Hearing him say this at this moment, it seemed very reasonable.

But thinking of the invisible barrier that even Heigui had no power to resist, Miss Qin sighed in her heart: Is it really impossible to leave here?

If she could kill that ruthless thing and those accomplices, she really wouldn't mind staying here in the future.

But she was really upset because her revenge had not been avenged.

Gu Ke saw the expressions of Miss Qin and the others, thought about it and said: "Don't be discouraged. Maybe I will have a way to get in and out in a few years, and it won't be too late for you to go out then."

He paused and smiled: "Besides, there is no shortage of food and drink here, and it is more suitable for cultivation. It is best for you all to cultivate into martial arts sects, so that it will be safer to go out."

Miss Qin and the others couldn't help but cast a reproachful look.

Juqin, who was most familiar with him, couldn't help but say: "All become Wuzong? You really dare to think about it."

Gu Ke smiled and stretched out his hand: "Then how about you bet with me?"

Juqin also smiled and stretched out his hand: "What bet?"

Gu Ke: "If one of you four becomes Wuzong, you have to work for me for a full year before you can leave the valley."

"It's a deal." Juqin high-fived him without thinking, and laughed: "If you don't become Wuzong, you still have to work for you."

Gu Ke chuckled and said nothing.

Bai Suqing and Miss Qin understood.

Meizhu and the other two girls are older and stronger, and they are expected to impact Wuzong in one or two years.

Juqin is the youngest and the weakest among the four girls, and it will take three to five years for her to really become Wuzong.

If he masters the method of entering and exiting the valley within three to five years, they can leave and will not be forced to stay by him.

After that, everyone did not go down the mountain, but walked west along the circular cliff, testing all the way.

It was almost noon, and everyone found a flat place.

Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju dug four holes in the ground and inserted the bamboo sticks they carried with them.

A roll of thin linen was pulled open, and the four corners were hung on the top of the bamboo stick, and a simple sunshade shed was formed.

There were patches of thin fir and dwarf pine scattered on the top of the cliff.

This year, the vegetation in the valley was thriving, and they also grew large patches of new tender branches and leaves. Everyone cut some and put them together.

Miss Qin raised her hand and released a weak ball of blood energy to cover it.

After a short while, the moisture in the branches was baked out by the blood energy and turned brown.

Miss Qin then increased her strength and instantly ignited a bunch of dead branches, and the fire-making work was declared complete.

Everyone set up a fire, put the bamboo tube rice they carried with them in the fire and burned it for a while, then took it out and opened it, and hot steam drifted out with fragrance.

Bamboo tube rice is made in spring, summer and two small days, and stored in the warehouse after cooling. It can be eaten after heating. It is an ancient version of instant rice.

Moreover, as the number of roadside stalls increases, the ingredients in the valley become more and more abundant, and the bamboo tube rice alone has a variety of flavors.

In addition to the earliest and most classic cured meat mountain rice, salted fish black beans and multi-flavor seafood flavors were also created later.

Potato grains, bamboo shoots, several kinds of mushrooms, kelp, and fresh vegetable leaves can be freely matched, and then smoked meat, dried shrimps, perilla, and patchouli can be added to enhance the freshness according to personal taste, which completely covers everyone's needs.

Even Miss Qin, who is easily "disliked by the old and liked the new", never tires of bamboo tube rice.

After lunch, everyone took out the purple bamboo water bottle they carried with them, sipped purple leaf tea, or sat under the small awning to chat, or stood in front of the invisible barrier to look into the distance.

At the top of the cliff, the breeze was gentle and the sun was high.

The blue sky extended to the far distance, and the large group of clouds that were as condensed as cotton balls seemed to be just above their heads, floating and changing slowly and slowly.

Miss Qin, standing on the cliff, felt relaxed all over, and the depression she felt when she knew she couldn't leave for the time being disappeared.

She stared at the north for a long time, and exhaled: "Actually, it's not bad to stay here."

Bai Suqing beside her laughed softly: "Don't worry, since he promised you, he will definitely find a way to do it."

After a pause, she continued: "This place is a good place for you. If I were you, I would work hard to break through and become a martial master as soon as possible."

"Without the strength of a martial master, even if you go out, it will be difficult to take revenge within ten or twenty years."

Miss Qin was stunned, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, and nodded after a long time: "That's right, a mere martial master is not enough to rely on."

Speaking of this, she suddenly changed the subject: "What about you? Let's not worry about the revenge of Bi Hai Men..."

Bai Suqing smiled faintly: "Do you know who ordered the destruction of my Bi Hai Men?"

Miss Qin was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly: "One person is the supreme elder of Lie Yang Sect, but he died two years ago and the clan was destroyed. The other person..."

Bai Suqing looked at her: "You will kill him, right?"

Miss Qin's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Of course, I can't get rid of my hatred if I don't cut him into pieces and grind his bones to ashes."

Bai Suqing smiled: "Then I'll leave this matter to you, I owe you a favor."

Miss Qin was speechless, and after a while she said: "What's the use of your favor? You are not much better than me in farming and doing things."

Bai Suqing was choked: This makes sense.

Among the people in the valley, the two of them have the worst craftsmanship.

Special treatment or relying on top-notch force to deal with strange things.

This is the job of both of them, and it is hard to say who is helping whom.

This favor is probably really useless.

In the afternoon, everyone continued to walk eastward on the top of the cliff.

Gu Ke found a good thing that he had never found before - Matsutake.

He had eaten a lot of this stuff in his previous life, or his parents had a good relationship with a younger generation who lived in the place of origin, and would buy some and send them to him during festivals.

It has a crispy and thick taste, and it is soft and smooth in the mouth, a bit like abalone.

It is said to be rich in nutrition and has many benefits.

But there were many articles praising the nutrition of wild XX in the previous life, and only ghosts know the specific effects.

When he was young, he had no feelings for Matsutake, and even thought it tasted a bit smelly.

Later, his parents passed away, and naturally no one sent this thing anymore.

I vaguely remember that in the TV shows I watched, Matsutake grows in high altitude areas, and will drill out of the ground for a few days after the rain, and then disappear quickly.

And the valley had indeed just had a few rains in the past few days, which gave the matsutake a chance to emerge.

No wonder Qin Bai took him to survey the valley before, but his perception didn't find it.

In addition, matsutake seems to be a kind of hyphae at the root of the pine tree.

Once the hyphae are destroyed by random digging, they will not grow again in the future.

Therefore, he solemnly asked Qin Bai's two daughters to make a special trip when they are free.

It is necessary to dig up the pine tree and the roots, including the large pile of soil with matsutake, and take them all back.

Only in this way can the whole be transplanted into the fairy field, and with the metaphysical characteristics of the fairy field, it is possible to keep the delicate matsutake hyphae alive.

In the previous life, when picking matsutake, it was inevitable to damage the hyphae, and finally the output became scarce.

Artificial cultivation technology has not been developed, so the price of matsutake has skyrocketed.

Many people simply call the giant spherical mushroom red pine mushroom and the Brazilian mushroom Agaricus blazei, and sell them under the name of matsutake.

In fact, it takes five or six years for a normal matsutake mushroom to mature, and the yield is very small.

Without the increase in production in the fairy field, we can't eat a few bites at all.

If it is successfully cultivated in the fairy field, then everyone will definitely have this in the future.
