The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Double Ninth Festival.

Because the ancient "Book of Changes" defines "six" as a yin number and "nine" as a yang number, on September 9th, the sun and the moon are in conjunction with the yang, and the two nines overlap, so it is called the Double Ninth Festival, also called the Double Ninth Festival.

The ancients considered it an auspicious day worthy of celebration, and began celebrating this festival very early.

Folks have the custom of climbing on this day, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called the "Climbing Festival". There are also other sayings such as the Double Ninth Festival, the Dogwood Festival, and the Chrysanthemum Festival. Since the homonym of "Nine Nine" on September 9th is "Jiujiu", it means long-lasting.

, so people often worship ancestors and carry out activities to respect the elderly on this day.

In the traditional Double Ninth Festival, there is also the saying of eating Double Ninth Cake, admiring chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine. However, there is not so much emphasis in the village. One is that there are no good ingredients to make Double Ninth Cake. The other is that there is no leisure and elegance.

Appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking wine. Most of them are rough guys, basically just

Just wear some dogwood and that's it. At most, some women who love beauty will put the wild chrysanthemums they picked on their heads on this day. If you do this in normal times, some people will inevitably say it's coquettish, but today no one is talking about it.

, because this is a custom and a good wish.

Zhang Taiping's family is now lacking in everything, especially all kinds of rice and honey. There is no cake that cannot be made, but it has never been made in previous years, so there is no preparation for this year.

The wild chrysanthemums we picked were only used to put a few flowers on the heads of some little girls. None of the adults did this. They felt embarrassed to put flowers on their heads.

Zhang Taiping came out of the house, and the sky was blue. It was another beautiful autumn day.

There has been a saying since ancient times that the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 is the day with the heaviest yang energy between heaven and earth in a year, and all the haze and pollution must be avoided.

Regardless of whether there is any basis for this statement, Zhang Taiping is planning to go into the mountains today to explore the mysterious valley again. He always feels that there are good things in the depths of the valley.

Zhang Taiping was about to turn around and go into the house to say something to Cai Yazhi when Yaya and Fan Ming came over from the pond.

Both of them had a dogwood branch on their arm, and a wild chrysanthemum on their head. The one on Yaya's head was golden, but the one on Fan Ming's head was purple. Next to Wukong, there were two flowers on his head, one yellow.

It's purple, but I don't feel the beauty, but the silly breath hits my face.

The three of them were all busy talking about the kiwi fruit that Zhang Taiping brought out from the space last night.

"Dad, did you buy this kiwi fruit?" Yaya asked.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Well, I bought it in the town when I came back yesterday."

"Then why didn't we see you last night?"

"You had dinner last night. Don't eat too much tonight, otherwise you will turn into a fat girl." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

Fan Ming threw the kiwi skin in his hand to the little hen foraging on the ground, licked his lips and said, "Brother, you said you were going to fry melon seeds and pine nuts. When will you fry them? Did you forget?"

Zhang Taiping really forgot about this matter and said with a smile: "How could I forget? I'm very busy these days. I'll start speculating when I get back tomorrow."

Fan Ming rolled his eyes and said, "What are you going to do today, brother? How about taking me with you?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "I'm going to go into the mountains today. I have something important to do this time, so I can't take you with me."

"What's going on?" Fan Ming asked without giving up.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said nothing.

After entering the house, Zhang Taiping did not tell the truth to Cai Yazhi, mainly because he was afraid that she would be worried if she found out.

"I'm going to go into the mountains today." Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi who was making breakfast.

"Going into the mountains? Why did you go into the mountains suddenly?" Cai Yazhi asked, frowning slightly.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "You reminded me that today is the Double Ninth Festival. When I went into the mountains, there were several precious herbs that were about to mature. It was around this time that I went into the mountains to pick them."

Although Zhang Taiping said it easily, he still felt something was wrong with a woman's naturally sharp intuition, so he asked: "Is there any danger?"

Zhang Taiping said comfortingly: "How can there be danger? Do you think that with my current skills, even a tiger can defeat me?"

Although Cai Yazhi has never practiced kung fu and does not know much about Zhang Taiping's skills, she has seen his unparalleled strength and has personally seen him beat away a blind man. I don't think I will encounter any animals in the mountains.

Nothing will happen. This makes me feel more at ease.

"Then you can bring the three big dogs with you."

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and realized that the three big dogs couldn't help much, so he said: "Basically, we don't need big dogs, just bring grimaces and let the lion and Ah Huang look after the house at home."

"Then eat your food and then go. You'll be fine soon."

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "No, leave early and come back early. If you go early, you may come back tonight. If you go late, you will have to spend the night in the mountains."

Everything needed was available in the space. After saying that, he walked out. After thinking for a moment, he made two gestures toward the roof and brought Xiaojin and Xiaofeng with him. They could explore the situation from the sky.

When Wukong saw Zhang Taiping preparing the Golden Mountain, he also followed him. But this time the situation was different, but Zhang Taiping scolded him. In the past, he would call him every time he entered, but this time he was scolded, which made Wukong

Quite aggrieved.

Zhang Taiping only wore a grimace and traveled very fast through the mountains. He had been there once, and this time he had a clear purpose and avoided a lot of detours. He arrived at the edge of the valley near noon.

Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and it happens to be the time of day when the Yang energy is the strongest at 12 o'clock. As expected, the heavy fog shrouded in that night did not happen again. Most of the conditions in the valley were visible, only the bottom was still there.

Shrouded in a puff of smoke.

Zhang Taiping came here today for a big purpose. On the one hand, he wanted to find precious Chinese herbal medicines under the valley. The main purpose was to get the big snake into the space.

This wish seems a bit difficult, but Zhang Taiping is not without support. The main reason is that he has the existence of space, first of all, he is invincible, and the other is that when he left last time, he found that the big snake had some spirituality.

, I can feel the benefits of the space spring water, and the attack power against me last time was not very strong, especially at the end, I even let myself take it easy.

So now I am planning to use space spring water as bait, maybe it will succeed.

Compared to the big guy who came downstairs, Ghostface could only be a little guy. Not only would he not be able to help much, but he might also anger the big guy, so Zhang Taiping planned to go down there alone.

He said a few words to Ghost Face, and then pointed to the woods nearby. After spending so long together, Ghost Face was able to understand the most basic commands, and after hearing the words, he got into the woods.

Unless you encounter big guys like those in the valley, there are no animals in the mountains and forests that can hurt their faces, so Zhang Taiping has nothing to worry about if he leaves it alone up there.

When the two big eagles saw Zhang Taiping going down to the bottom of the valley, they also retracted their wings and prepared to swoop down, but Zhang Taiping waved his hand and chased them up. The space became narrower as they went down, and they couldn't fly away from below.

Come on, besides, although the two of them can deal a fatal blow to other snakes, they have little effect on the big guy below, so there is no need to follow.

The valley is shrouded in heavy fog all year round. Not only people, but also other animals rarely enter it, so there is no way down. Zhang Taiping had to walk with a shovel to clear the way.

The further you go down, the more gloomy you feel. When you reach the bottom of the valley, even though the sun is shining brightly outside, there is a cold and soothing feeling here.

Although Zhang Taiping was not afraid of the cold, he was wary of this strange environment and watched his surroundings vigilantly while moving forward.

The deeper you go into the valley, the colder the atmosphere becomes. If you look up at the sky, you will find that the bright sunshine looks a bit blurry from here, and the light also dims. Zhang Taiping knows that this is the kind at the bottom of the valley.

There is nothing surprising about the effect of the mist.

Although it was cold here in the summer, it was not so severe. However, when the autumn came again, it was still so cold on the Double Ninth Festival when the Yang Qi was at its strongest. I don’t know what happened here after today’s night.

Such a scene.

When Zhang Taiping carefully arrived at the place where he met the big snake last time, there was only a vague halo of the sun above his head. Although the surrounding fog was not very effective in isolating vision, the atmosphere created made

People feel as if they are in another world, so far away from the sun.

The strange water pool is still filled with thick fog, and the fog is constantly spreading from it. The specific situation of the water pool cannot be seen clearly. Nothing has changed much from the last time I came here.

Zhang Taiping looked towards the entrance of the cave. It was dark and without a trace of light. Even Zhang Taiping's eyes found nothing, as if this was not a cave but a black hole that swallowed light.

He didn't know what the reason was that led the big snake out last time, but it must have something to do with his own appearance, so he didn't do anything. First, he waited quietly on the side of the cave entrance to see if he could

You cannot use yourself as bait to lure out the big snake.

However, almost half an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the cave.

Just when Zhang Taiping was about to take out a chicken and put it in to try, two eagle cries suddenly came from the sky one after another. Zhang Taiping could tell that they were the voices of Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng. This made him puzzled.

What's more, these two cries contain anxiety and fear.

In this way, Zhang Taiping was a little confused. These were clearly two big eagles warning, indicating what was going on, but they were probably just anxious. Why did it also contain the emotion of fear? You must know that these two are definitely the king of the sky.

Even the giant snakes in the valley cannot pose any threat to them.

Just when he was confused, another more powerful cry came into his ears. Although it was not as sharp as the screams of Xiao Jin and Xiao Feng, the sound was full of domineering. And it did not come down from the sky.

Yes, the source of the sound is deeper in the valley.

Zhang Taiping's knowledge of this valley was limited to the small area where he encountered the big snake, and he had never set foot in the larger area inside.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision. He put aside the matter of the big snake for the time being and walked deeper into the valley to see what else existed inside.

However, before he stepped out, his ears moved, and a faint sound came in. Zhang Taiping's whole body disappeared from here as soon as he thought.

Just two seconds after he disappeared, the big snake swam out of the cave and stopped for a while at the entrance of the cave where Zhang Taiping had been standing. It showed a very humane expression of confusion and looked around, but there was nothing.

After discovering it, he twisted his body and swam towards the place where the majestic cry came from. His huge body swam on the ground without making any big noise. If Zhang Taiping hadn't had superior hearing, he wouldn't have noticed it just now.

.

Zhang Taiping waited in the space for half an hour, and estimated that about a minute had passed outside before exiting the space holding a dark red knife.

When I came out to the outside world, I was ready to go in at any time. However, when I came out, I scanned all directions and did not see the big snake. Then I landed firmly on the ground, but my mind did not relax.

After carefully observing the surrounding situation, I discovered that the big snake had left the cave and headed deeper into the valley.

Zhang Taiping's heart moved, and he followed the traces left by the big snake after it swam by. He did not follow too fast, but paid attention to the surrounding situation and moved forward slowly. Judging from the cry just now, this valley

The big snake is not the only powerful creature in the world. Who knows if there is anything deadly hidden around here, so he has to be careless.

Suddenly, Zhang Taiping stopped.

Since it was daytime and it was the Double Ninth Festival, the fog in the valley was not that thick. Although the scene in the distance could not be seen, the situation on the mountain wall next to it could still be seen clearly.

What made Zhang Taiping suddenly stop was not a powerful animal, but a strange plant.

He first looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no danger around him, he groped towards the strange plant and stopped five meters away, because he had not forgotten the plant he picked last time.

The situation when Polygonum multiflorum is grown.

Last time, there was a huge poisonous snake guardian next to Polygonum multiflorum, and it was pecked to death by Xiao Xi. It is impossible to say that a similar situation exists next to this plant.

Zhang Taiping stood five meters away observing this strange plant and did not act rashly.

This plant should be a flower. The branches look like a little old man with a hunched back and a cane. The flower on the top would be a bit surprising, if not for the fact that it actually grows on a plant.

Zhang Taiping almost thought it was a grimace.

When the stamens and petals are put together, doesn’t it look like a ferocious face that wants to choose someone to eat?

Although Zhang Taiping has never seen such strange words, nor has he seen any records in any books, he does feel that this flower is unusual. Because there are no plants within one meter around it, even

The rotten leaves on the ground were all black.

This is clearly a sign of extreme poison, but not all poisons are harmful. For this reason alone, this flower is worth picking.
