The position at the entrance of the cave was slightly more spacious than inside, Ye Tian opened his body sideways, allowing Hu Hongde and himself to stand side by side.
"This ...... What is this place?" Seeing the situation outside the cave, Hu Hongde was also stunned, the scenery in front of him was something he had never seen in his life.
The cave is about ten meters away from the ground, and you can clearly see the outside scenery.
What appeared in front of the two of them was a valley sunken downwards, about three or four thousand square meters in size, surrounded by cliffs, wrapping the entire valley.
There were many low fruit trees growing in the valley, which were actually full of fruits, and the ground was covered with green grass.
In the middle of the valley, there is a hot spring with a radius of seventy or eighty meters, with bubbles gushing upwards, making a "gurgling gurgling" sound.
Due to the closure of the valley, the heat emitted by this extremely hot spring evaporated upwards, blocking all the biting cold winds outside, forming a unique geographical space.
Next to the fruit grove, there was also a wooden house with wooden stakes, about a meter above the ground, and the bark on it was not stripped, and it was still green under the nourishment of the hot springs.
Looking up, the pine trees in the cliffs are still covered with snow, and the two distinct worlds make people have to sigh at the magic of nature's creation!
And what excited Ye Tian the most was that the spiritual energy in this valley was extremely abundant and very pure, as if a formation had been artificially set up to imprison the spiritual energy here.
"Lao Hu, this should be where Meng Blind Man is hiding, right?"
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Ye Tian muttered to himself: "Grandma's, this old boy can choose a place, and I don't know how he found here?"
It can be seen from the traces of the hole when entering that the cave entrance should have been very small at first, and it was only possible for people to pass through after Meng Blindman's transformation.
Meng Blind Man set a trap at the entrance of the cave and waited for five days, and never saw the white fox come out again.
This made Meng Blind Man feel strange, if he didn't eat for five days, the fox would starve to death, and his curiosity drove him to expand the hole and get in, thus discovering this peach blossom garden-like place.
Since then, Meng Blind Man has used this place as his most secret hiding place, and he can't help but build wooden houses in the valley, and also reserve a large amount of food and supplies, and even the money he has earned over the years has been placed here.
It's just that it took Meng Blind Man nearly ten years to arrange a place to settle down, but with his death, it had no meaning, or it was cheaper for Ye Tian and the two in vain!
Feeling the strong aura in the valley, Ye Tian couldn't hold back anymore, gently pushed Hu Hongde, and said, "Let's go, go down and take a look."
In order to facilitate entry and exit, Meng Blind Man drove a wooden stake on the rock wall outside the cave and installed a wooden ladder, and followed the wooden ladder down to the valley.
Stepping on the green grass, feeling the softness under your feet, and then thinking of the heavy snow outside the cave, this place is almost like a fairyland.
Surrounding the hot springs, it is covered with trees such as hawthorn, soft dates, kiwifruit, and Northeast apricots and plums.
"Good girl, why is this water so hot?"
Ye Tian walked to the hot spring, reached out to test the temperature in the pool, and hurriedly took out his hand as soon as he put it in.
Hu Hongde also followed Ye Tian to put his hand into the water to feel the temperature, raised his head and smiled: "Ye Tian, the hot spring boiled eggs in Changbai Mountain can be cooked in an instant, and the water temperature is probably above seventy or eighty degrees."
Ye Tian looked at this circular valley and said thoughtfully: "Then this should already be a crater, but why is it wrapped in these rock walls?"
"It doesn't matter if it's so much, Ye Tian, let's go, go to the house built by Meng Blind Man!"
Hu Hongde did not have the idea of Ye Tian tracing back to the roots, there were many wonders in Changbai Mountain, and after the initial shock, he was no longer used to seeing them.
Before coming to the wooden house, Hu Hongde's face showed shock again, he stroked the wood with his hand and said, "It's amazing, Ye Tian, this is all walnut wood!"
Meng Blind Man obviously spent a lot of energy here, but the wood used in this wooden house was walnut wood in the valley.
Walnut wood has a very hard texture and excellent resistance to bending and corrosion, so it will not easily deform and corrode even in this perennial foggy valley.
You know, walnut wood is generally used to make valuable furniture and carved crafts, but the wooden house in front of you is actually all built of walnut wood.
"Lao Hu, it's a pity that this blind man doesn't become a carpenter." Ye Tian didn't know much about walnut wood at all, he just felt that this wooden house was very well built.
"Let's go, go in and take a look!" Walking up the three wooden steps, Ye Tian pushed open the wooden door.
Black Dragon Pool was originally a Jedi in Changbai Mountain, not to mention people, even animals rarely dared to come here, so Meng Blind Man didn't set any traps at all, and he didn't even install a door lock.
The wooden house is divided into three rooms, each of which is connected, separated by a door panel in the middle, and the outermost room has a bed, a wooden table at the head of the bed, a kerosene lamp on it, and a hunting and machete hanging on the wall.
After lighting the kerosene lamp, the two saw that under the bed, there were three dark red wooden boxes side by side, and there was nothing else in the rest of the room.
Pushing open the doors of the other two rooms, the smell of food came into the noses of the two of them, all of which were tightly wrapped in plastic bags in the greenhouse to avoid being eroded by the moisture outside the house.
In addition to the grain, rice and noodles, the other room is full of air-dried bacon, which is all marinated with salt, and it is not a big problem to keep it for a year or two.
"If this guy really hides in, he won't go out for a few years, and I'm afraid he won't starve to death!"
Looking at the materials in the two rooms, Hu Hongde shook his head, if he weren't for the great treacherous and evil people, how could he spend so much effort to store these things in peacetime?
"Look what's in that box!"
Ye Tian walked to the bed and stretched out his hand to pull out a box, the box was also made of walnut wood, I am afraid that the original walnut trees in this valley were cut down by Meng Blind.
"Damn, so much money?"
When he opened the box, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into foul language, this box, which was about 50 centimeters wide and about 1 meter square, was full of stacks of brand new 100-yuan bills wrapped in plastic paper.
On top of these banknotes, there are also six shiny little yellow croaker, this thing was hard currency before liberation, and I don't know where Meng Blind got it?
Ye Tian estimated the money in the box, and then thought of the villa that Hu Hongde gave to his granddaughter beside him, and couldn't help but say angrily: "There are at least four million here, I said Lao Hu, you people in the mountains are so rich?"
In the '98 meeting, if you can have a net worth of four million, no matter which city you go to, you can be called a rich man.
Hu Hongde shook his head and said: "It's been a little more profitable in the past few years, but more than ten years ago, even if you dug up old ginseng, you couldn't sell it for much money."
In the era of planned economy, private individuals are not allowed to buy and sell medicinal materials, otherwise you will be sentenced to a crime of speculation, so ginseng and other precious medicinal materials dug up by ginseng pickers can only be sold to the state, and the low price is outrageous.
However, people like Hu Hongde would rather keep the medicinal materials in their hands than sell them, so when the market opens, their net worth immediately rises.
This blind man is also a well-known old visitor in Changbai Mountain, and the treasures he dug up are definitely no less than Hu Hongde, so it is reasonable to have so much money.
Ye Tian moved his mind, pushed the box containing the money in front of Hu Hongde, and said: "Lao Hu, I don't want this money, but I have a fancy to the contents of those two boxes, you can't grab it with me!"
"You don't want to suffer, I'm afraid the things in that box are worth more than these, right?" Hu Hongde laughed when he heard this, and he didn't care in his heart, Meng Blind Man was originally intercepted by Ye Tian, and these things should belong to Ye Tian.
"Lao Hu, come and take a look, is this thing real or fake?" Although he had already prepared in his heart, when Ye Tian opened another box, his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.
In addition to the three ceramic jars, in the middle of the box was a dried Ganoderma lucidum as large as a cattail fan, with a reddish-brown skin and a very bright color, and the length of the stalk was almost half a meter.
In Taoist legends, Ganoderma lucidum can cure all diseases, its function is fulfilled, and it is supernatural and effective, so it is called Ganoderma lucidum, also known as "immortal medicine", and is also known as "Ganoderma lucidum grass".
"Of course it's true, this Ganoderma lucidum is about three hundred years old, which is very precious, Ye Tian, the contents of this jar are much more precious than Ganoderma lucidum!"
For people living in Changbai Mountain, although Ganoderma lucidum is relatively rare, it is not uncommon in the mountains, and Hu Hongde's eyes were staring at the three ceramic jars tightly.
