Time and Space Auditor

Along the way, Xuan Hui was used to seeing the national teacher stepping on Xie Lu when he had nothing to do, and he had long been used to it.Seeing that Xie Lushuo was walking away, he knew that he had finished stepping, so he came over to discuss the route with the national teacher.

The Queen Mother's tribe is located between the mountains at the junction of Northern Zhou and Xiluo. This mountain range is located in the center of the mainland, stretching from east to west. The names of the four kingdoms are surprisingly unified, and they are called "Cangshan Mountain"! The word "Cang" has the meaning of boundless and vast in ancient Chinese civilization. It is barely used to describe this majestic and majestic mountain range that stretches across the entire continent.

There are two copies of the routes left by the former king, one written by himself and the other by Gu Tu; neither of the two copies has a particularly obvious route, and they are mainly descriptions.

Gu Tu mainly described the situation of the tribe.The surrounding area of ​​the tribe is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, and the towering trees are only a few steps away from each other, and the height of the trees reaches the sky.According to her description, it can be inferred that the altitude where the tribe is located will not be too high, too high to grow such a tall and dense forest.

The former king mainly describes the situation outside the tribe.There are two obvious features at the entrance of the tribe. One is the sporadic distribution of low bushes, and the other is that the soil in a large area around the entrance and exit is black.Didn't the description of the former king say whether the black soil is pure or not?Are there other plants on the ground outside of the bushes?This leads to the fact that the vegetation at the entrance may be alpine meadows or alpine shrubs, but the altitude is not low no matter what!

The highest peak of the Cangshan Mountains is at the junction of the four countries, with an altitude of more than 8000 meters.The highest peak of the generation of the tribe is more than 5000 meters, and alpine meadows are generally distributed between 3000 meters and 5000 meters above sea level, which means that the entrance of the tribe may even be on the top of the mountain.

This leads to another strange question. The queen mother said that she left the tribe by water.This generation of mountains is indeed the birthplace of many rivers, but the origins are mainly natural springs, a very small part is melted water from glaciers, and there is absolutely no Tianchi on the top of the mountain.

Is the entrance of the waterway the same as the entrance mentioned by the previous king?

Xuan Hui was obviously unable to answer this question, and it was even difficult for him to participate in the discussion.As an ancient monarch, no matter how knowledgeable he was, he would not have rich knowledge of geography and landforms. Moreover, Kara completely used the measurement of modern geography and landforms to judge this matter, which made Xuan Hui even more ignorant.

Xie Lu could answer, but his answer... Sigh!Carla rested her forehead silently and prepared to accept the bombing.

"Gold Master! That's what I think about it!" Xie Lu cheered up, staring at Kara.

Xuan Hui was already immune to the title of "golden master". At first, he didn't know much about it. Xie Lu wanted to explain, but he felt that any explanation was unreasonable, so he had to pay attention not to say it as much as possible.As a result, with the deepening of the journey, his efforts had completely disappeared, so he had to give a very sticky explanation: the special title of the gods in the sky is the Lord of Gold!

Xuan Hui accepted it clearly, turned around and called out Kara's patron, and Kara glanced at Xie Lu directly, telling him if he wanted to die!

Xie Lu hurriedly shrank away, Xuan Hui was puzzled, Kara patted his arm and said: "Ignore all the crazy words of this little old man from now on!"

These words saved Xie Lu in a disguised form, and made Xuanhui no longer care about Xie Lu's strange words.

"Golden Lord! Do you remember that the Queen Mother said that God specially gave the tribe a name: 'Qingqiu'!" Xie Lu deliberately played tricks.

"Remember! There is the country of Qingqiu, there are foxes and nine tails." Kara replied.

"Hey! Master Jin, have you read "Shan Hai Jing"?" Xie Lu was stunned.

Kara raised her forehead: "Don't digress!"

Xuan Hui asked, "What is the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Kara looked at Xie Lu with a smile when he heard the words, and Xie Lu hurriedly said: "It's a scripture in the sky." Then he continued, "We all only remember the familiar things. 'Blue' represents color, blue, green, and black; 'hill' represents many things, such as hills, names of people, settlements of people, and graves! Judging in this way, the characteristics of the entrance come out, and blue must be Refers to water, green is plants, black is soil, hills are hills, people’s names and settlements should not be possible, as for tombs..." Xie Lu smiled whimsically, "If it is really a tomb, it must be a wonderful journey! "

"Hehe!" Kara immediately retorted, "I'm overthinking it! ? Xuanhui, have you heard of it?"

Xuan Hui shook his head: "My father made a detailed investigation of this area during his reign, and found no records of tombs."

Xie Lu did not find relevant records, so he could only focus on the hypothesis again, "If a natural cave is used, so much manpower and material resources will not be needed."

"Natural caves, it's possible! Ah!" Kara smiled far-fetchedly, "Have you checked the geological formation?"

Xie Lu stopped cooking immediately. The Cangshan Mountains are dominated by granite and rhyolite, with very little limestone. The geological foundation for the existence of large caves is weak.etc! ! ?What did the gold master just say?geological formation?How can you mention this kind of word in front of the king!

Kara raised her forehead, what's the point of tangling about this thing?The Northern Zhou Dynasty had a well-developed farming civilization, and had no interest in forestry development. If you knew the relevant vocabulary, you would not study it, so you changed the subject and taunted: "Don't fantasize about things like graves. You don't even have a black donkey's hoof. Do you dare to go in?"

"Huh? Gold Master, you actually know the black donkey's hooves?" Xie Lu was stunned again.

Kara raised her forehead: "I said don't digress!"

Xie Lu quickly returned to the topic: "If Qiu just refers to hills, then it fits Gu Tu's description. The hills are not high enough to generate such a huge forest."

"But the question is where are those towering trees? You see, we have walked a lot in the past few days. The current straight line is about 700 meters above sea level. As far as the eye can see, it is dominated by bamboo and pine forests." Kara asked.

"I have a reasonable explanation. Those giant trees are located in the basin between the hills. The altitude of the basin is not high, so only the top part of the giant tree is exposed." Xie Lu raised his head proudly.

"Low-altitude plants are mostly crowns, and the top of the tree and the whole tree can be clearly distinguished!" Kara retorted.

"My lord, I knew you were going to say that!" Xie Lu smiled even more proudly: "I know a plant that completely matches my guess. There was a mountain called Tianmu Mountain in the Jiangnan area of ​​China during the ancient earth period. It is divided into Eastern Tianmu and Tianmu. West Tianmu, among them, there is a spectacular group of cedars in the west, where the cedars are densely distributed, towering into the clouds, with thick trunks, known as "big trees canopy crown Kyushu". You only see cedars as a plant The top of the tree is just an ordinary tree!" Xie Lu wanted to show Kara the specific picture, but Xuan Hui was standing beside him!

Kara saw Xie Lu's scruples and said, "Take it out! Anyway, you have leaked enough things today!"

Xie Lu was about to cry, so he turned out the picture of Liu Shan with his optical brain, and also included the landscape of West Celestial Eye.

Xuan Hui suddenly became enlightened, and agreed with Xie Lu: "National teacher! I think Xie Lu's idea is entirely possible!"

Kara also nodded: "Not only is it completely possible, it might be like this!"

As soon as Xuan Hui heard it, he heard something in the words of the national teacher, and looked at Kara strangely.

When Xie Lu heard it, he was taken aback, but suddenly paused, this is not right!

Sure enough, Kara said: "I have always suspected that he is the mastermind behind the scenes. There was no evidence before. Now you heard it, the evidence is conclusive!"

"Gold Master! What kind of evidence is this!" Xie Lu immediately knelt down to show his loyalty, "I am definitely not behind the scenes!"

Xuan Hui nodded: "The national teacher's words are very reasonable. Uncle Wang said that if someone can connect the incredible places with each other and explain them perfectly, then this person is by no means extremely smart, but an insider or planner. "

Xie Lu burst into tears: "No such thing! I'm just guessing..."

"No way, you have too many crow records!" Kara added.

Xie Lu petrified, Xuan Hui asked with a smile: "Master, what should I do with this person?"

"It's a good idea to take it with you, just as a hostage!" Kara said with a smile, turned and left.

Xuan Hui responded, "Got it!" and followed suit.

"..." Leaving Xie Lu silently complaining on the spot: Gold Master, is there something wrong with you recently?Teasing everyone to turn so bluntly?It's no longer what it used to be!

After the discussion, the three spent the night in the woods.Carla has a peculiar sleep cycle, so he is in charge of the night watch.

Just after midnight, it began to rain heavily, like water pouring down.It is late spring now, and the warm and humid air flow is active. This kind of rain is not surprising, but I am afraid of a mountain torrent.So Carla decided to rush through the bamboo forest overnight.

The reason for choosing the bamboo forest is that the root system of bamboo is extremely developed all over the mountain, and ordinary mountain torrents cannot affect it at all.And bamboo is extremely domineering, and there are almost no other vegetation in the place where it grows, so it is easy to walk.

The rain did not stop until noon the next day, the clouds were still thick, and the sun showed a corner.

Xie Lu couldn't move anymore, so he didn't care about anything else, so he picked up a bamboo whip and sat down.

Xuan Hui found a relatively flat place, set up two simple stools, and asked Kara to sit down.

Speaking of this simple stool, I really have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. The stool is composed of two parts, the stool surface and the stool foot. The stool surface is similar to the general small bench. The difference lies in the stool foot. The sharp corners are inserted into the soil and can sit quite stably.This stool was originally used by tea farmers on the mountain when picking tea, but Jing Xun specially asked for it to facilitate the three of them to rest while climbing the mountain.

Xuan Hui waited for Kara to sit down and started to cook together. Considering that there was a lot of rain in the mountains in spring, which was not conducive to life, Kara deliberately ignored Xie Lu's various protests and brought a set of outdoor cooking tools from the future world.

This set of tools is very necessary. It takes a lot of energy for three people to enter the mountain, and it is far from enough to supplement with dried food.In case of a rainy day and a cold, there is no hot water.After Xuanhui brought out [-] pieces of hot ginger soup, Xie Lu had to feel that it was very important to bring this set of tools.

After eating a bowl of hot ginger soup, Xie Lu's stiff limbs began to regain consciousness. He relaxed and fell back, letting the backpack support his back. When he put his hand on the ground, he touched a small sharp corner. Xie Lu Looking down, the small bright yellow horn seems to be a bamboo shoot.Xie Lu is happy, it is rare to find a bamboo shoot!

Bamboo shoots are produced in different years, and this year coincides with a relatively low yield in a small year. In addition, it is late spring and the peak period of bamboo shoots has passed. It is very rare to find such a bamboo shoot.

Xie Lu hurriedly stood up and put down his backpack, and found a small hoe with a 50cm long handle and a 15cm long hoe blade, which he bought from a farmer at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain.Kara complained about what he was doing with this thing?Can you defend yourself?Xie Lu silently withstood the pressure and put it on quietly, just for this moment.

Kara was drinking ginger soup and was bored. She saw Xie Lu digging crookedly, and almost rolled down the hillside because of lack of strength, so she went over to watch.

"What for?" Kara asked.

"Bamboo shoots!" Xie Lu said happily, he had already hollowed out the soil around the bamboo shoots, and he was about to use a hoe to cut off the roots, but the hoe was too small, and he couldn't cut it off no matter what.

Cara couldn't stand it anymore, and broke the bamboo shoots violently. Xie Lu was heartbroken, and the freshness of the broken bamboo shoots would be greatly reduced.

Kara knew what Xie Lu was thinking at a glance, and despised: "What is the heartache for? I didn't bring any seasonings, and I didn't have any tools, so I couldn't cook delicious bamboo shoots! Don't tell me you think it's okay to put the whole bamboo shoots in the fire. Edible?"

Xie Lu was surprised that Kara, the chief dark chef of the military department, knew how to make delicious bamboo shoots, and grabbed the bamboo shoots from the opponent's hand and peeled them off, saying: "Gold Master, you don't understand, there is a kind of It’s delicious and convenient to eat.”

"Cut!" Kara disdainfully said, "Are you planning to cook this?"

"Of course! Eat this food while it's hot!" Xie Lu said, took out a bag of salt from the package, and went to Xuanhui for cooking tools with the bamboo shoots in his arms.

Xuan Hui glanced at Kara, indicating if he wanted to give it?

Carla shrugged: "Let him cook it, let's rest!" After walking all night, he needs to rest well, and the exhaustion of the journey is not worth the loss.

Xie Lu was happy, carefully peeled off the bamboo shoots, leaving only the most tender skins, and then cut them into pieces and boiled them in water. This cooking process would take a long time, so Xie Lu cleverly turned on the high-pressure function. After 15 minutes, the bamboo shoots were considered cooked. Xie Lu added a lot of salt and cooked for another 10 minutes in normal mode.While cooking, he proudly said: "This way of eating was taught to me by an old lady next door to my house. She was born in the mountains, and people there eat bamboo shoots like this. They are delicious and can be preserved for a long time. "

Kara and Xuan Hui nodded suspiciously, and consciously stayed away from Xie Lu, so as not to be dragged into the test later.

Xie Lu despised the actions of the two of them: "I don't want to share this kind of delicacy with you!" As he said that, the bamboo shoots had been cooked, so he immediately fished them out and tasted them, and then... Xie Lu's entire face turned green, It is very unpalatable, not only does not have the original taste of bamboo shoots, but also has a very unpleasant earthy taste, and the tip of the tongue and lips are full of a very astringent taste.The purpose of adding salt and cooking thoroughly is to get rid of the astringency. How could this be?

When Kara saw Xie Lu's expression, she was very thankful that she escaped the disaster with her wisdom, and quickly gave up the throne of the dark cook to him.

But the more Xie Lu thought about it, the more strange he became. He has cooked this kind of bamboo shoots several times, but he has never seen such a situation. Could it be that the bamboo shoots were not fully cooked because of the high-pressure mode used today?It's not right, the bamboo shoots are already soft and rotten, so it's impossible for them to be undercooked. Could it be that the quality of the bamboo shoots is not right?Xie Lu remembered that the old woman next door to his house said that the quality of bamboo shoots depends on the soil. The bamboo shoots grown in yellow soil are the best. The bamboo shoots are white when they are fresh, and slightly sweet after cooking. Not astringent.

Xie Lu looked at the yellow soil around him, that's right!He had seen the pictures, and the yellow soil was indeed like this.He took out the soil element analyzer, and the analysis results were basically consistent with the yellow soil. What's going on?Xie Lu was puzzled.

Kara took a look at Xie Lu's appearance, and said, "Don't worry about it, bamboo shoots are drilled out of the ground, and if they get on something, they won't taste good!"

"My lord! You are wrong, the quality of bamboo shoots is so easy to change! Bamboo whips climb all over the mountain, and it is not certain where they will come from, unless the whole place..." Xie Lu suddenly paused, and the two With bright eyes, he jumped up, ran to the place where he had dug the bamboo shoots, and continued digging with a hoe.It will make the flesh of bamboo shoots so strange, unless there is a completely different layer of soil under the yellow soil.

Xie Lu dug down with all his strength, and when he dug to a depth of one meter, the soil layer suddenly changed and became very obvious. There was a very obvious scorched earth layer between the black soil layer and the loess layer.

"Gold Master! Come and see!"
