Chapter 122 Chapter Five Wuyi Immortal Shadow

The tea tree grows on the rock wall, and there is clear water infiltrated in the cracks of the rock, and there is a lot of soil, which is an excellent growth environment for rock tea.The five tea trees were growing densely. I found that there was still a fire under the tree. When I wanted to extinguish it, I saw a person hanging under the tea tree.This man was as strong as a cow and horse, and he could tell he was a night watchman at a glance. There was also a broken kerosene lamp in the tea tree, and the fire just now was sparked by the kerosene lamp. When the tea tree was pushed aside, the hot kerosene in the lamp slid down. Liao Er thought it was dew, and he was scalded and yelled if he didn't avoid it.When I saw this, I explained embarrassingly. I couldn't see the movement below, so I thought he avoided it.The strong night watchman was still breathing, I felt his chest rise and fall, and wanted to carry him down impatiently.But the tea tree couldn't hold it any longer, and there was only a click, and the night watchman fell down together with the broken tea tree.

I grabbed the ladder and looked down, sticking out my tongue, I wanted to save someone, but now that I'm making such a fuss, I'm afraid he's already dead.Before I climbed down again, I took a look at the top of the ladder. At the end of the ladder, it was pitch black, and a cave had been cracked in the belly of the rock.A strong man may come out of the cave, fall down and get stuck on the tea tree.Impulsively, I wanted to get into the cave to have a glimpse of the universe, but the second brother Liao was in a hurry and could only return to the ground temporarily. Seeing me slowly climbing down, Liao Er Er opened his mouth and said, "Xiaolu, you killed him!"

"Uh... really dead?" I was at a loss for words for a while, how could I have killed someone, and no one else would have expected that the tea tree would break at that time.I did not give up and felt the strong man's pulse, and listened to the heartbeat, but there was no response, he was already dead.Falling from such a high place, you will die or be disabled, that's when I thought of it.The night watchmen haven't changed the kerosene lamps hanging on the stone gate for two days. They may have been in the cave in the belly of the rock for two days. For some reason, this strong man escaped.

"He may be stuck in front of the tea tree, and he is already injured. How about we stop the oil fire from igniting the tea tree?" After Liao Er finished speaking, he saw that I felt guilty, and then comforted me, "Just now, I was in the tea tree. After burning for a while, this unlucky ghost was burned except for his chest, and it would be very difficult to survive even if he didn't fall." The night watchman's body was completely burned, and it was difficult to see if there were other fatal injuries.We discussed for a while, and decided to carry the dead night watchman back to the wooden house, and then find some sharp weapons there to defend ourselves, and climbed into the cave to find Lin Hongyan.The night watchmen have prepared a lot of weapons, in addition to earthen guns, there are also machetes, which are no different from gangsters.Liao Laoer and I each chose a sharp knife, and took advantage of the night to climb from the ladder into the cave covered by the tea tree.We didn't choose a gun because we didn't know how big the cave was, and there wasn't enough light inside, so it would be difficult if we hit our own head.

The red boulders were covered with patches of moss, and when we grabbed the ladder, we were all wrapped in those slippery moss, and the newly bought clothes were all dirty.There are many peaks and waters in Wuyi Mountain, and there are also many caves. It is not uncommon to find a cave entrance on the rock wall.But the Lin family deliberately used the tea plantation as a cover, guarding it for decades, preventing outsiders from stepping in. It was obvious that they wanted to take the cave as their own, and it was unjustifiable that there were no treasures in the cave. While climbing the ladder, I hurriedly asked Liao Er Er, what is Wuyi Immortal Shadow, and why I have never heard of it.Liao Er was very surprised, thinking that I already knew, and then complacently he drank more tea than I drank water.The so-called fairy shadow of Wuyi starts from the fairy spirit of Wuyi Mountain, which is well known to tea people.

Wuyi Mountain is the birthplace of black tea and oolong tea. According to "Wuyi Mountain Records": "Wuyi tea was originally wild and not planted by human beings. It was discovered by an old man. He offered tea for the first time and died as a mountain god. A temple was erected to worship it." Because of the strong spirit of immortality, the old man became the fairy guarding the tea trees after his death. Many tea masters have seen the white figure of the old man in the mountains. Back then, rock tea planting techniques were not as perfect as they are now, and most of them relied on manpower to discover wild rock tea.Therefore, it is also mentioned in "Wuyi Mountain Chronicles" that rock tea was not valued in previous dynasties, and even if it was selected as tribute tea, it was only used to wash teacups.Wherever the fairy leaves a white shadow, the tea masters can always find the best rock tea. It is said that when the four thousand-year-old Dahongpao plants in Jiulongke were discovered, more than ten tea masters claimed to have seen the white fairy shadow of the fairy. .

I don't know which dynasty it started, but it began to spread among the tea people in Wuyi Mountain. The old fairy lived in a place of fairy shadows in the mountains.Immortals are immortals, and mortals cannot see the entity of immortals with naked eyes, but only vaguely see white shadows.What's even more amazing is that in addition to the old fairy, there is also a stone arch leading to Jiuxiao in the land of fairy shadows. Once you enter the stone gate, you will enter the fairyland. When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing out loud, it's absurd, the fairyland is a fart, if you want to trick tourists into the tiger's mouth, just say it.Liao Er Er scolded me for being arrogant, be careful that the old fairy is not happy, and let me fall off the rock wall to pieces.But having said that, most of the myths are not fabrications, but have their origins. Maybe Wuyi Xianying also has something to say.

When we climbed to the end of the ladder and got into the cave, there was a foul smell gushing out from the darkness.I cursed secretly, damn it, this is not immortal energy, it is obviously corpse energy!I've seen quite a few corpses. If this rotten smell wasn't for the smell of corpses, I could have chopped off their heads.Liao Laoer also shook his head and said something was wrong, who would throw the dead into the cave, wouldn't he be afraid of polluting the aura of the tea tree? The entrance of the cave is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass by sideways. I squeezed in nervously, and Liao Laoer followed behind. After walking tens of meters in the dark, the front suddenly opened up.Just now we were worried that there was an ambush in front of us, so we didn't dare to turn on the lights. When we got to the wide area, I didn't hear any movement. The second Liao also said that it was safe, so we held our breath and turned on the strong flashlight.I imagined that I would see the cave of the old tea master fairy. He was drinking tea leisurely at this time, but the scene in the cave baffled us all.

The cave is now in a mess, stone pillars, stone tables and other things have collapsed together, and there are statues with severed heads lying "corpses" on the spot.Looking at the situation of the ruins, it has been some years since the cave was destroyed, and it definitely did not happen in modern times.This kind of hidden place has such a strange cave, but it is rare to see it. You must know that the entrance is so narrow, and these stone pillars and tables are probably completed by craftsmen in the dark.Liao Lao Er saw the needle and said bluntly that he was right, this is the land of fairy shadows, and the cave of the old fairy is here.

"Don't be so busy brainwashing me, look for it first, if Lin Hongyan dies here, we will have nothing to sing about." I said anxiously. The second Liao looked at the collapsed cave, and said relaxedly: "It's not easy to find someone, as long as there is no way out, they will definitely still be here. I didn't see it, and the night watchman also escaped from the same way." "That's why you have to be careful." I reminded, "Why is he running away if he has nothing to do? I'm afraid the land of fairy shadows is not peaceful! I wondered if the tea people didn't grow tea, make tea, sell tea, and do these things. Some or nothing, is it very enjoyable?"

"You don't understand!" Liao Er Er pretended to be deep and said. I sighed and shook my head. Some of China's tea culture is science and some is literature.Most of the literature is nonsense, almost the ancients "lie" the predecessors, the predecessors "lie" us, and we "lie" the layman when we go back, as long as they like to listen.Liao Er Er knew that he was being "deceived", but he also believed as always. He didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, maybe those who have dreams are happy.It doesn't matter whether there are immortals or not, as long as it can give tourists a kind of spiritual yearning, and don't tell them to kill and set fire, it really doesn't hurt. I muttered for a few minutes, but found nothing, but broke my hand and bled a lot.In fact, the degree of damage in the cave is not large, and we can vaguely see the original appearance of the cave.I cleaned the blood from my finger, picked up the flashlight that was lying aside, and searched another place.Stone hairs are growing in the cave. Although the Lin family has occupied this place, they don't seem to come in often.Otherwise, there wouldn't be stone flowers everywhere in the cave, which would turn into mud and stick to our clothes as soon as we touched them. Liao Laoer found a stone statue under a pillar, which looked like an old man, who had been crushed by the pillar for many years without any damage.I stepped over the stone pile in surprise, walked over and looked at it for a long time, probably this stone statue of an old man is the legendary fairy shadow old tea man.What Liao Laoer said was indeed right, even if he was wrong, he was probably right.There are many educated and uneducated tea people, and they still don't have much ability to make up those lies.If this is really the place where the old fairy lived, why did it turn into this scene now? Who destroyed such a sacred place. "Look, isn't this a miracle? When such a thick pillar is knocked down, you can lie there and try it, and the shit will come out." The second brother Liao did not forget to add evidence to the legend of fairy shadow. I said to Liao Er Er: "Come on, you can't describe what is shit or not in a beautiful way!" "You young people, when you live to my age, you will know that there are some things that cannot be explained. Don't keep thinking that everything can be figured out." Liao Er Er seemed to have won. I didn't bother to argue, so I bowed to the stone statue of the old fairy, and then looked elsewhere, hoping to find traces of Lin Hongyan.Although the cave is large, it has an end. When I found the edge of the stone wall, I found that there was still a big cave leading into it.There are many caves in the Wuyishan area, and the caves are interlocking, and there are holes in the caves, which is very common.I was about to tell Liao Lao Er to go inside, but he yelled at me to come back quickly. Hearing that tone, I should have made a big discovery. "What's the matter, did you find out that the old fairy still has a lover?" I made nonsense. Liao Er was not happy, he said seriously: "Look at this, this chain..." Immediately, I was surprised, because the rusty copper chain was thick, thicker than my thigh.The bronze chain was pressed under the pile of stones, and it took a long time for Liao Lao Er to dig out the chain again.I wondered, why did the old fairy have such a thick chain in his cave? Could it be that the gods are getting bored of life, and occasionally play some ravaging games.While thinking wildly, Liao Er had already found the two ends of the bronze chain. One end of the thick chain was fixed to the giant stone pier in the cave, and the other end was tied with a huge bronze thick ring, which seemed to be used to lock something, but now the bronze ring has been broken in two.
