This place is called Yueluo Hometown.
The reason why many people look for mushrooms here is because mushrooms are abundant here.
According to what the girl named Zhi told Lin Chong, the production of mushrooms in the nearby mountains has become noticeably more abundant since the strange changes in heaven and earth a year ago, but not everyone can eat them. Some are as hard as iron and obviously useless, but when the foreign gods see them, their eyes light up and they say this is some kind of 'silk iron'.
"It should be tinplate." Lin Chong said.
"You also recognize that thing?" Pheasant asked in surprise.
"I should know him, and I always feel that those things...well, are all mine." Lin Chong felt quite embarrassed.
Zhi's father was named Chu.
Hearing these two names, Lin Chong always had the impression of "barbarians" in his mind. It seemed that among the people he knew, those with such names all came from a very ancient heritage that was isolated from modern civilization.
But who does he know?
"You have no shame! If they were all yours, why don't you exchange them for money?" The pheasant laughed and mocked Lin Chong.
This girl is as tinkling as a mountain spring, lively and bright.
In the next few days, Lin Chong walked around and followed the instructions of Chi: don't go too far, there is danger. He saw where the danger came from.
The place where the father and daughter lived was halfway up the mountain, surrounded by lush forests and many wild animals. It was a treasure land for hunters. However, if they walked up for another two hours, they would reach "Tianyuan". The so-called "Tianyuan" was a peak that was neatly split into two halves. One half was on Lin Chong's side, and the other half was thousands of meters away, hidden in the clouds.
Between the two peaks is the abyss of heaven.
The sky is bottomless, and looking down all you can see is darkness.
"This is the lowest layer of land after the changes in heaven and earth." Chu said, "Below, there is nothingness. Even if gods and Buddhas fall in, it is difficult to escape. Be careful and don't fall."
nothingness?
This word is also familiar.
Lin Chong always feels that "nothingness" is very important.
Over the next few days, Lin Chong just wandered around leisurely, eating and drinking for free, and he was able to stay there.
Finally, Chi couldn't stand it anymore. "Looking at your appearance, I believe you are a young master from a wealthy family. Only rich and idle people can appear so boring and incompetent. Stop wandering around and come with me to pick mushrooms today!"
So the next day, Lin Chong carried a bamboo basket and followed Pheasant to pick mushrooms. Seeing his clumsy appearance walking in the woods, Pheasant laughed loudly. Besides that, Lin Chong always felt that there was someone in the shadows of the forest laughing at him and laughing at his joke.
"What are you laughing at..." Lin Chong was feeling unconvinced when he suddenly tripped and fell into the grass.
"Hey?" Zhi was startled and came to help him. Suddenly, his eyes focused, as if he had found a treasure. He dug up the grass that tripped Lin Chong and saw a huge black and white mushroom half an arm's length in the grass. "Is this a black and white mushroom?!"
"What?" When Lin Chong saw the mushroom, he felt that it looked familiar.
"How precious!" Pheasant hurriedly picked the mushrooms.
There were more than one precious mushroom. Lin Chong stumbled along the way, and every time he fell, he would step on a mushroom. There were big mushrooms, small mushrooms, black and white mushrooms, green mushrooms, red mushrooms, purple mushrooms... When they returned home in the evening, the two of them carried two large baskets of mushrooms, each of which was a treasure. Chu was so surprised that he scratched his beard.
"I'll sell them at the market tomorrow!" Chi said excitedly, "and then I'll buy Dad two jars of good wine!"
Lin Chong was rubbing his nose. He was very tired after the day and kept falling down.
"Nonsense, these mushrooms all belong to Lin Chong. They have nothing to do with us father and daughter." Chu knocked on Zhi's head.
Tsk~ The pheasant stuck out its tongue, looking naughty and cute, "I know~ When the time comes, everything we get in exchange will belong to Lin Chong~"
"I don't mind. I picked them up for free anyway. I can give you some, or even all of them. It doesn't matter." Lin Chong was very generous. "But not all of these mushrooms can be eaten. For example, the gray one is not a mushroom, but tinplate. The purple one is a heavenly tribulation mushroom... But the one with black and white rings can be eaten and can increase your cultivation... I remember there was a golden one that was particularly delicious, but it's a pity I didn't pick it..."
Seeing Lin Chong babble on and on, Chi showed a look of joy, "Really? Give them all to me... um, to us?"
"No, no, we can't eat free mushrooms. We can't afford it." Chu said seriously.
"But Lin Chong gave it all~" Zhi shook Chu's sleeve.
"What can we exchange? What can we pay back?" Chu emphasized the words 'exchange' and 'pay back'.
"...Dad is right." Zhi sighed, "We can't afford it for now, and we can't pay it back. Tomorrow I will go hunting with Dad in the mountains. I must kill a big one and exchange it with you."
Lin Chong was just about to say that they were just some mushrooms and there was no need to make such a big vow, but seeing the serious expressions on the father and daughter's faces, he didn't know what to say. He insisted on giving them away for free, as if he was insulting them.
"Let's take Lin Chong to the market tomorrow. We don't have anything to exchange, but maybe other neighbors do. If we can make two deals, we can take a small commission and take the smallest one. That may not be a bad idea, right?" Chu asked Lin Chong with a smile.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Of course there is no problem." Lin Chong nodded and said seriously, feeling deeply moved that they were indeed a family with high moral integrity.
…
"Who told 704 that Lin Chong has been found?"
"Not me."
"It's not me either... well, it's my wife."
"Your wife is you!"
"Don't do it, don't do it. If we don't tell 704, how would we know that this Yueluo Country is so strange? There is no way to get here. If it weren't for Lin Chong's positioning, we wouldn't be able to find this place. Do you know what the result was when 704 observed this through Zaofu?"
"Tell me quickly, or I'll beat you up!"
"You have already reached the sixth level of True Immortal, can you act a little more like a True Immortal..."
"What does a true immortal look like? Does it hurt so much when you beat someone up?"
"Okay, okay, I accept the Immortal Sword of Unbreakableness. I say, ahem, 704 observed the hometown of Yueluo through Zaofu. This place... is in the void."
"Nothingness... Nothingness beyond the void sea? The boundary of this world? How is this possible!"
"Yes, Master, isn't nothingness an absolute blank? It's a place that even thoughts can't reach."
"That's right, it's nothingness. The place where we are right now is the land of nothingness. The place where Yueluo is located is in the nothingness."
“Will Lin Chong be in danger? That father and daughter, Chu and Zhi, may look like ordinary people, but they can survive in a place of nothingness, so there must be something strange about them!”
"Of course it's weird. Do you know what the two words 楮 and 雉 mean when put together? I said, don't hit me, it's... mushrooms."
