Awe-inspiring photo

Ling Yujin looked at the two people in front of him. The man called Mr. Yun was about 30 years old, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and an extraordinary appearance.I don't know if it's because the man in front of him is also surnamed Yun, or because he misses someone too much, Ling Yujin always feels that he can vaguely see a shadow of deja vu between his brows.Sitting next to Mr. Yun was a young man dressed as a entourage. He was about twenty years old, and he was also well-groomed.

After hearing Xiao Er's words, Mr. Yun smiled elegantly, and said to Ling Yujin: "If you don't mind, brother, let's sit together."

Ling Yujin hurriedly expressed his thanks, and told Xiao Er: "Little Brother, let's serve the signature dish you mentioned just now."

Xiao Er hurriedly replied: "Guest officer, Mr. Yun has already ordered the signature dish of the shop, see if you want to change it to something else."

Before Ling Yujin opened his mouth, he heard Mr. Yun say: "Young master, it happens that the two of us ordered too much. If you don't mind, you can eat together."

After hearing this, Ling Yujin sat down at the table obediently, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yun, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Yipinju’s Yipinzhang, as the name suggests, is actually made of bear paws from desert black bears and pig knuckles from desert piglets.First put the bear's paw in boiling water to remove hair, then cut the back of the bear's paw obliquely to form a net pattern, put it into the old ginseng chicken soup and stew for five hours.Then take it out and put it on the cage, put a wild honeycomb on the back of the bear's paw, and steam for another two hours, until the honeycomb melts and penetrates into the bear's paw together with honey.Take the front elbow of the pig and put it in the old duck broth and stew for three hours, until the pork elbow becomes soft and glutinous, and the bone and flesh are separated.Then put rock sugar in the pot and stir-fry, pour in rice wine, put pepper, fennel, star anise, nutmeg, hawthorn, tangerine peel, clove, cinnamon, grass fruit, and stew for two hours to make a thick soup.Finally, put the bear's paw and pork knuckle together, pour over the soup, and then put some fresh and tender side dishes, which is Yipinju's signature dish Yipinzhang.

If it is said that Yipin Zhang masters glutinous sweetness and long-lasting fragrance, the desert competition is fresh and spicy.First select a piece of fine desert elk venison, soak it in Yipinju’s secret spicy seasoning for a day and a night, then put it into a frying pan, add cooking wine, magnolia, coriander, scallion white, pepper water, and a little sugar to stir-fry , add some seasonal fresh vegetables, and you are ready to serve.

Both the appearance and the aroma of the two dishes made people's index fingers move. In addition to the two meat dishes, there were also two green leafy vegetables on the table, and two small stir-fries with meat and vegetables.Yipinzhang is full of ingredients, and the servings are large. Although the servings of other dishes are not too large, the six dishes are definitely more than enough for three people. Of course, in addition to the dishes, there is also a pot of the most famous desert wine here.

Mr. Yun told Ling Yujin that he just likes to eat Yipinzhang and Damozhulu from this family. They are sweet and delicate, spicy and refreshing, and he would eat them every once in a while.In addition, the desert brewing here is also very mellow, with a tangy aroma and a sweet taste, which is no worse than those famous wines in the Central Plains.

For Ling Yujin, who had been hungry for a long time, looking at the delicious food on the table in front of him was like a hungry wolf seeing a group of lambs, with green eyes shining.Seeing Ling Yujin's embarrassment, Mr. Yun hurriedly greeted him for dinner, and thoughtfully waited for him to finish his meal before starting to exchange greetings.

Mr. Yun looked at Ling Yujin, who was obsessed with delicious food, and at the leftovers of cold dishes in front of him, before he said, "I don't know what to call this brother?"

Ling Yujin licked her thin lips eagerly, and replied, "I'm Ling Su, don't you know your master's name?"

Mr. Yun said: "It turned out to be Brother Ling. It's a pleasure to meet you. Younger brother Yun Kun, look at Brother Ling's clothes, he doesn't look like someone from the Western Regions. The location of this Fusha ancient city is very secret. I don't know why Brother Ling came here?"

Ling Yujin smiled wryly and said, "I'm not afraid that Mr. Yun will laugh at me. I encountered a big sandstorm, lost my way in the desert, and came to this ancient city of Fusha by mistake."

Yun Kun said: "Oh? Brother Ling lost his way? Dare to ask Brother Ling where he is going and why he came to this sea of ​​sand alone. If Brother Ling tells me, maybe my younger brother can help."

Ling Yujin hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Yun, for your kindness. In fact, I don't have any destination. It's just that I got lost when I strayed into the desert during my travels. Now it seems that it was a blessing in disguise. This ancient city of Fusha is so prosperous and full of people. Exotic, I must have a good time, hahahahahaha."

Hearing this, Yun Kun smiled and said: "It's so good, if Brother Ling doesn't mind, I would like to be a guide and take Brother Ling to appreciate the beauty of this desert."

Ling Yujin hurriedly rebuffed, "Why bother Mr. Yun, I'll just walk around by myself."

Seeing Ling Yujin's refusal, Yun Kun didn't force it, he just said: "Brother Ling is new here, I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with this place, if you need Yun's help, you can come to Huanhaizhuang to find me at any time."

Ling Yujin quickly thanked her, and after lunch, Yun Kun left Yipinju with his entourage, while Ling Yujin returned to the room, and continued to try to send a message talisman to her sister Ling Ziyue.But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get what he wanted. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he changed the receiver of the communication talisman to Shui Ling'er.This time the communication axis responded weakly, but the communication talisman still could not be sent out smoothly.Ling Yujin frowned slightly, he had a premonition that Shui Ling'er should not be far away from him, perhaps in this ancient city of floating sand.

Now that he has the direction to look for, Ling Yujin decides to take a good rest first. Walking in the desert these days is really exhausting.With the bottom of the big meal just now, he felt that he would be fine even if he slept for three days and three nights. He specifically asked the waiter in the store not to disturb him, and entered the sleeping mode.

Sure enough, three days later, Ling Yujin was full of energy and walked out of the guest room in high spirits. Since it was already past lunch time, there were some vacant tables in the lobby on the first floor.The waiter in the store saw that Ling Yujin who had been bored in the room for three days without knowing what to do had finally left the room, and immediately came forward to greet her.

Xiaoer smiled and said: "Guest officer, you have been staying in the room for the past few days, and the little ones don't know if something happened. You told me before, and the little ones didn't dare to go in and disturb you. You can only I have a heart hanging every day, and now that I see you come out, I can feel at ease."

Ling Yujin said with a smile: "I lost my way in the desert before, and my physical exertion was too much, so I slept in the room for three days, but I have troubled my little brother."

Xiaoer said: "Don't say that, you are a customer of the shop, and we should care about you. I think you haven't eaten water or rice for many days, and I'm afraid you're hungry now. I'll go and find out for you. Porridge and side dishes.”

Ling Yujin hurriedly stopped Xiaoer, and said with a smile: "Yipinju's Yipinzhang is very delicious, please trouble me for a serving, plus a bowl of white porridge, thank you."

Xiao Er comprehended and said: "Okay, all the customers who have eaten Yipinzhang in the small shop have agreed. Guest officer, please sit down first, and the younger ones will go to prepare."

Not long after, Xiaoer brought up a plate of Yipinzhang and a bowl of clear porridge, but the amount of dishes was half less than the last time. Ling Yujin smiled slyly and asked: "Brother Xiaoer, how much is the amount of this dish?" Why is it so much less than last time?"

Xiao Er hurriedly explained with a smile: "Guest officer, you are alone, even if we serve a whole serving of Yipinzhang, you won't be able to finish it, and the rest will be wasted, so I served half of it for you. The price of vegetables must be only half price. To tell you the truth, there are not a few customers like you who come to the small shop alone to order Yipinzhang to satisfy their hunger, so we don't have to worry about selling the remaining half. In case it is not sold Go, the people in our store can still eat by themselves, it’s better than wasting. There are not many black bears in the desert. We never let guests waste a dish, please forgive me."

Ling Yujin nodded with a smile, and said, "The store owner is really kind, thank you very much."

After a delicious meal, Ling Yujin left the inn contentedly, and went to the street to search for clues. The scene of Fusha Ancient City was very different from that of Central Plains.Ling Yujin suddenly remembered that Xuan Moli had said that he was also from an ancient city in the Western Regions, but he forgot to ask the name of that ancient city at the time, wondering if it was this ancient city of Fusha? !

Ling Yujin wandered the street until the sun went down, but did not find any clues. He looked up to see that it was getting late, so he had to go back to the inn first.From the next day, Ling Yujin went to the street every day, leaving the unique contact mark of Lingxiao Pavilion everywhere, but after a long time, Shui Linger still did not follow the mark to find him.

In the past two months, Ling Yujin tried countless times to send the message talisman back to Lingxiao Pavilion, but every time it ended in failure.If it was sent to Shui Ling'er, although it still could not be successful, the communication axis would still have a slight response.Ling Yujin guessed that Shui Ling'er should still be in the ancient city of Fusha. Maybe she was injured in the sandstorm and is still in the stage of cultivation, so she couldn't see the mark left by him.

In a blink of an eye, it has been two months since Ling Yujin came to Fusha Ancient City, but there is still no news of Shui Linger.Ling Yujin secretly rejoiced that before leaving High Heaven Pavilion, her sister Ling Ziyue forced a lot of money on him, otherwise he would be living on the street by now.Although Ling Yujin would not trust others easily, but at the moment he was really desperate, so he decided to visit Yunkun.But if he asks Yun Kun to help him, he must first explore the other party's background and get to know this person who only met once.

Thinking of Yunkun's previous invitation, Ling Yujin felt that it would be appropriate to go to Huanhaizhuang to find Yunkun on the grounds of seeing the desert scenery.But when he came to the first floor, he suddenly found that the person he was looking for was sitting in the lobby, sipping tea leisurely.Yun Kun obviously also saw Ling Yujin coming down from upstairs, and immediately smiled and beckoned him to sit with him.

As soon as Ling Yujin sat down, Yun Kun said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I met Brother Ling again. I didn't expect Brother Ling to stay in the ancient city."

Ling Yujin looked at the slightly clean lobby, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yun is really early today, so you can't come here for lunch at this time, right?"

Yun Kun smiled casually, and said, "Yipinju is always overcrowded during lunch time. I just want to buy a piece of Yipinzhang and Damozhulu to enjoy in the mansion quietly. Brother Ling, are you going out? "

Ling Yujin didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Yun, I'm planning to go to Huanhaizhuang."

Yun Kun asked: "Brother Ling, what do you need my help with?"

Ling Yujin smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. In the past two months, I have traveled all over the ancient city. I don't know if there are other good places to go in the desert outside the ancient city. Because there is a sea of ​​sand outside the city, I have traveled all over the ancient city. I don’t dare to walk around alone, so I want to ask Mr. Yun, do you have any good recommendations?!”

Yun Kun said: "Brother Ling really asked the right person, my little brother knows the beautiful scenery around here like the palm of his hand."

Ling Yujin hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, can I trouble Mr. Yun to take me with me next time?"

Yun Kun said with a smile: "Of course, it's just that the place where I want to take Brother Ling is a bit far away. It's late today, and I'll pick up Brother Ling tomorrow morning. Brother Ling don't call me Mr. Yun anymore. It seems that Ling Brother should be two years older than me, so call me by my first name, Yun Kun."

Ling Yujin didn't evade any excuses, and said with a smile: "It's impolite to be a brother like this, so how about calling you a good brother?"

Yun Kun nodded, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Kun came to Yipinju alone, had breakfast with Ling Yujin, and they set off.

In the ancient city, the two had to walk slowly first, Yun Kun said as they walked: "Brother Ling, the most famous thing in our ancient city of Fusha is "Beautiful Caves", but not everyone knows this place, only the big families who have lived here for generations Only people who know where its entrance is. For the first stop, I will take Brother Ling to this "Beautiful Cave".

Ling Yujin said with a little curiosity: "Is there something wrong with it? This name is a place that can make people's eyes shine."

Yun Kun said: "Actually, as the name suggests, this place is a cave, and there is a cave inside. Brother Ling will understand when he arrives. However, this place is quite a distance from Fusha Ancient City. I hope Brother Ling will not feel tired."

Ling Yujin smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I like looking for beautiful scenery the most."

After leaving the city, the two rode their horses and galloped for about two hours. The desert scenery was gradually replaced by green vegetation, and a forest gradually came into view.Yun Kun and Ling Yujin got off their horses one after another, walked through a small forest, and immediately a huge cave appeared in front of them.

Yun Kun said: "Brother Ling, here we are, there is a hole in the sky here, let's go in."

Ling Yujin suppressed the curiosity in her heart and followed Yun Kun into the room.The cave was pitch black, and Yun Kun was holding a simple torch, the light of which could only illuminate the road ahead of the two not far away.Ling Yujin looked at the cave while walking. It was actually an ordinary cave. The stone walls on both sides were somewhat damp, with some moss attached to it, and a few drops of water occasionally fell from the cave ceiling.

After walking for about four or ten minutes, Ling Yujin could gradually feel the air flowing in the cave, mixed with a faint fragrance.After continuing to walk for about 10 minutes, a ray of light slowly appeared in front of me, and I could clearly feel the breeze, and the fragrance became more intense.

Ling Yujin walked out of the cave slowly with Yunkun, and sure enough, after coming out, it was truly magical, the eyes were full of greenery, the breeze was gentle, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, which made people feel very comfortable and comfortable.The valley is full of green trees, the leaves of which are dense and emerald, like a big green umbrella, the sky is as blue as washed, and fluffy white clouds are floating in the sky.

Yun Kun asked: "How is this place? After spending so long on the road, Brother Ling thinks it's worth it?"

Ling Yujin sighed: "It's so beautiful, it's really a paradise, a fairyland on earth, does such a beautiful valley have a name, and is there anyone living there?"

Yun Kun said: "It is said that there were people living in it a long time ago, but it gradually disappeared, maybe they all moved away. Presumably Brother Ling also smelled the fragrance in the air, it is the smell of rosemary. This valley is like spring all year round, and the fragrance is so strong throughout the year, so this place is called Rosemary Valley.”

Ling Yujin was startled, something flashed through his mind quickly, and he asked, "Rosemary Valley? Dare I ask my dear brother, do you know that there is a flower in the valley called Empty Valley Orchid?"

Yun Kun was also taken aback when he heard the words, frowned slightly, and said, "Of course I know, this flower only grows in Rosemary Valley, I don't know why Brother Ling mentioned this flower?"

Ling Yujin said: "Because my sister likes to collect all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, she once told me that she wanted a Orchid in the Rosemary Valley. I really didn't expect that this time I hit Fusha by mistake. In the ancient city, I got to know my virtuous brother, and I was lucky enough to come to this Rosemary Valley, and I will definitely bring one back to give to my sister."

Yun Kun looked into the distance, his vision was a little empty, and he said slowly: "Everyone knows that the Orchid of the Valley is extremely beautiful and has a pleasant fragrance, but they don't know how dangerous this flower is as much as it is beautiful."

Ling Yujin asked in surprise: "Dangerous? How can a flower be dangerous?"

Yun Kun said: "This is the secret of Fusha Ancient City. There are far fewer people who know this secret than those who know the existence of Rosemary Valley. I also accidentally learned from the chats of the elders that the valley and the valley I couldn’t tell outsiders the secrets, but Brother Ling and I hit it off right away, and I’ve already brought Brother Ling to this Rosemary Valley, so I simply told Brother Ling the secrets in the valley, but Brother Ling needs to agree to me. It will never be passed on.”

Ling Yujin said solemnly: "Brother Yu trusts Brother Yu so much, how can Brother Yu live up to this trust? Please rest assured, Brother Yu, what you hear, Brother Yu will never spread it to the outside world."

Yun Kun nodded and said, "About this Rosemary Valley, I'm actually not very clear about it. I just heard that there was an old man living in this valley. Some people say that this old man is a fairy, and some people say that this old man is a fairy. He is an eminent monk who has attained Taoism. He traveled here and was attracted by the scenery and climate in the valley, so he lived here for a long time. The old man likes to grow flowers and plants, and soon the valley was full of rosemary and various exotic flowers and plants, so the valley It is called the Valley of Rosemary, and the old man is also called the old man Rosemary. The greatest achievement of the old man Rosemary in his life is to cultivate a kind of extremely beautiful flower that is rarely seen in heaven and earth. It is said that this flower is shining under the moonlight. , and like starlight flowing, as if it came alive, this kind of flower is the Orchid of the Empty Valley."

Ling Yujin asked: "Since it is such a beautiful and wonderful flower, why does my brother say it is dangerous?"

Yun Kun said: "Because this flower is alive."
