Wannan produced tea leaves and good tea. Among the top ten famous teas of China, Wannan occupied three seats. Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Houkui, Huangshan Qiaoshe, and Keemun black tea. Wannan tea had a very high status in China. The people of Qingyang loved to drink tea, but they did not like to fish for fame. The locals drank a kind of wild green tea that grew on the cliffs of the mountains. Because the mountains were covered in clouds and mist, the special growing environment allowed the tea trees to be nourished by water vapor for a long time. The leaves of the wild tea here were thick and plump. One leaf could make a cup of tea. This kind of tea leaves could endure soaking for a long time. The first sip would feel bitter, and then the bitterness would disappear on the tip of the tongue. The fragrance of the empty valley in the deep mountains would leave an endless aftertaste, giving people a refreshing feeling and refreshing their minds. The production of this kind of tea was extremely low, and not everyone could drink it. This also gave birth to a profession in the local area. Tea pickers. For the tea trees on the cliffs of the mountains, the tea pickers also sighed at the sight of the tea. Therefore, the tea pickers usually had one or several tamed monkeys with them. These monkeys were raised by the tea pickers and specially trained to pick tea leaves on the cliff top.，Generally speaking, the harsher the environment and the harder it was to harvest, the better the quality of the tea leaves. The people of Qingyang called this type of wild tea produced locally monkey tea. The monkey was psychic. It was unwilling to go to a truly dangerous place. It was precisely the tea leaves in this kind of place that were the best of the best. When Murong Yao was drinking tea earlier, his eyes lit up. It was precisely this kind of quality tea that he had drunk.
"Uncle Zhai, is there good tea in the mountains?" Murong Yao asked.”
"This place is full of water vapor, and it's surrounded by cliffs that are difficult to climb. It's a treasured land bestowed by the heavens. If good tea doesn't grow here, where else can it be?”
Murong Yao's eyes lit up as he said,""Can we go for a walk these few days?”
"The road is not easy to walk on. If you are interested, I can bring the monkey along and take you to have a look.”
"Alright! 'Oh right, Uncle Zhai, why is this place called Huitouping?”
"So it's not called that. So this place is called Xiafang Village. Since it's called Xiafang Village, then there's also Shangfang Village. It's on the east side, and we still have to go further up. This road was a dead end. It was inconvenient for the people of Shangfang Village to travel, so they moved down and the two villages became one. Using this name, the meaning of turning back meant that if one walked here, they would turn back. If they walked any further, the road would be blocked!”
"Is there no way out if we go any further?”
"There is a road, and we can walk it. However, the place ahead was a land of death, a land of death. If they went in, they could forget about coming out!”
Murong Yao wanted to continue asking, but Uncle Zhai had already changed the topic.
Uncle Zhai's real name was Zhai Qicheng. He came to Huitou Ping five years ago and stayed there. He had a military rifle, which was made in Hanyang in the early years of the Republic of China! Zhai Qicheng had good marksmanship. If he used a military rifle to hunt, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. He often shared his prey with the villagers. Zhai Qicheng would always try his best to help whoever was in trouble in the village. Most of the food and daily necessities sent to him by Sanjia Village were also given to the families in the village who were in trouble. The people in the mountains were simple and honest. In the five years, Zhai Qicheng had established a good relationship with the villagers in Huitouping. In addition, he was strong and helpful. He had vaguely become the leader of Huitouping Village. If Zhai Qicheng came forward for something, the villagers would respond.
Niu Zheng handed a letter from his father to Zhai Qicheng. Zhai Qicheng looked at it and said," I know what your father has instructed me to do. I've already made preparations. You guys will stay for a few days. I'll bring you around. You must be tired from walking today. Rest early!"”
The next morning, the three of them got up early as usual. When she went out, she saw that Zhai Qicheng had already woken up and was preparing breakfast and dry rations. Zhai Qicheng said,"You guys move around first. I'll be done soon! I thought about it last night. Yesterday, your wild boar fight was really beautiful. I admire that last fatal palm strike. I know Old Niu's kung fu. I'll check your kung fu later. Don't let me down!”
Hearing that they were going to check his kung fu, Wei Wuji felt a little guilty. Among the three of them, his kung fu was the weakest. "Uncle Zhai, that wild boar yesterday was killed by Murong Yao. If you want to test him, test him!"
Seeing Wei Wuji's anxious look, a thought flashed through Zhai Qicheng's mind. Could it be that the wild boar was really killed by Murong Yao? It had nothing to do with them? This didn't make sense. Murong Yao was the youngest among the three of them, and he had been studying in Nanjing. This didn't make any sense!”
Seeing that Zhai Qicheng was silent, Niu Zheng became anxious."Uncle Zhai, it really is Murong Yao. He comprehended all his martial arts by himself and it wasn't taught by my father. He is very evil! You know that Wei Wuji and I have the things from the Three Family Village! You're taking the exam for nothing!
Seeing that the two of them had already confessed to this extent, he could not force them anymore. Hence, Zhai Qicheng said to Murong Yao,""Murong, I just want to see the palm you used to kill the wild boar yesterday!”
Murong Yao knew that there had to be a reasonable explanation for yesterday's incident. Looking at Zhai Qicheng, he should be someone who knew martial arts and his skills were not bad. His recent practice did not seem to have made much progress. Why not let Zhai Qicheng take a look? Perhaps he would have some good suggestions. Hence, he said,"Uncle Zhai, I don't seem to have made any progress in my cultivation recently. Can you help me take a look and see if there's any problem?”After he finished speaking, he looked around and felt that there was no place to attack. Then, he saw the wall outside the house. The wall was built with soil and was relatively thick, about 60 to 70 centimeters. Murong Yao felt that with one palm, he should be able to break through the wall. Who knew that when the palm landed, only a small hole was left on the outside of the wall, and it was not completely penetrated. Niu Zheng said,"Uncle Zhai, Murong Yao can break 11 bricks with one palm. Why can't he break through this wall?"?”Niu Zheng and the other two were shocked. Unexpectedly, Zhai Qicheng, who was beside her, was already extremely shocked! "Do you think this is a wall made of earth? I placed two layers of bamboo tendons inside. No matter how strong the strength of others is, they can only collapse the wall. It's impossible for a hole to appear! Child, I now believe that the wild boar was indeed killed by your palm wind yesterday. I also believe that you comprehended this palm technique yourself, because I have never seen or heard of anyone else who has such martial arts. According to you, you should be able to break through the wall. What's the reason? I'll think about it. Can you show me the other things you have?”Murong Yao grabbed a handful of pebbles and stood ten steps away from the wall. He faced the wall and threw them out in a row. The pebbles on the wall lined up neatly in a row. Zhai Qicheng took a look. The pebbles were not embedded deeply into the wall, but they were arranged neatly. Zhai Qicheng said,"Your kung fu is fast and accurate, but your strength is average. I understand your weakness. Do you know the relationship between form and spirit?”Murong Yao thought for a moment and said,"Is the form referring to the outside and the spirit referring to the inside?"”
"That's probably what it means! There was an idiom,'An arrow at the end of its flight cannot pierce through Lu's silk.'The arrow had clearly reached and hit the target, but it couldn't penetrate a thin piece of silk. You have to have both body and spirit. Your body is already here, but your spirit is still lacking. Your martial arts have the potential to improve. I have to think about how to improve and how to improve. Everyone, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll bring you for a walk according to what we said last night.”
After a while, two young men came in. These two were among the people who carried the wild boar yesterday. Zhai Qicheng said to the three of them,"These two young men are also from the village. One is called Kong Erzhu, and the other is called Liu Tiqiang. Zhu Zi and Xiao Qiang will go with us later!”The two of them smiled at everyone. When he went out, Murong Yao thought about it and decided to bring his climbing tools and the rope with him. Huitouping Village was in the ravine. As soon as they left the village, everyone walked around the ravine. After walking for nearly an hour, the shrubs in the ravine became denser and denser. In the end, Zhai Qicheng led everyone into the bushes. After walking for a while, they arrived at the foot of a cliff. Zhai Qicheng pushed aside the bushes and revealed the entrance of the cave. He said," This place is very hidden. Although the entrance is not big, this cave is very deep and divided into two levels. There is a mountain spring and a dark stream flowing through the lower level. The water quality is very good and can be drunk directly. The upper level is very dry and large. The caves inside are connected and connected. It could house people and things, so it wouldn't be a problem to house more than a thousand people. "In the letter you brought yesterday, Old Niu asked for a place to hide people and things. I thought that this place is the best. It's big and well-hidden. Don't go in today. I'll ask the villagers to clean it up!" I brought you here to let you take a look and let you know this place. When you go back, there are ten young men in the village who will go with you. They are hunters themselves. Let them go to the village to train with you. If you really want to fight the Japanese, they will be of help. Erzhu and Xiaoqiang will also go to Sanjia Village. In the future, whether it is transferring the villagers or transporting supplies, they can be guides.”Kong Erzhu was the taller of the two, so he didn't talk much. Liu Tiqiang, on the other hand, was very short. He looked like Wu Dalang, a little like what people called a short figure. However, this guy was a chatterbox and was familiar with Niu Zheng and the other two. The hunters in the village did not have guns, and the tension of the bows in their hands was very small. They could only shoot small animals. To deal with large prey, they had to rely on traps. The hunters in the mountains were all good at this.
Zhai Qicheng pointed at the nearby cliff and said to Murong Yao and the rest,"" There are wild tea leaves growing on the top of the cliffs here. Some of them grow directly on the cliffs. This place is relatively remote, so very few tea pickers come in. The ones that are easier to pick have been picked. The villagers don't raise monkeys and train monkeys. They have to pick tea leaves with their bare hands. My little monkey wasn't caught either. I met him on the road and gave him some to eat. After raising him for a while, his wildness became smaller. My monkey is not willing to go up all the mountains. Look over there. Zhai Qicheng pointed at a mountain not far away.
Wei Wuji blurted out,"This mountain is like a club!"”
