Chapter 43 The Thunder of Jingzhe
"It's water!"
"It's not some monster, water is coming out of the ground."
"There is still light, can you see it? It is a colorful light in the sky."
"There seems to be something in the light."
Seeing that it was water, everyone felt at ease, their pale faces regained some vitality, and they no longer ran around here and there.
Immediately afterwards.
Spring water gushes out of the caves on the mountain one after another. The spring water overflows the caves and flows down layer by layer along the built stone walls and paved ditches.
Finally, they were connected together and turned into a waterfall scene with nine twists and turns.
It's just that they are different from ordinary waterfalls. These waterfalls are still emitting "smoke" while flowing.
Someone ran to the cliff at the foot of the backside of the mountain. When the waterfall flowed down, he stretched out his hand and touched it, and immediately exclaimed.
"This water is hot."
"No wonder it's steaming."
"How can the water flowing out of the ground be hot? It's strange."
More and more people came, and some knowledgeable people immediately said.
"It's a hot spring."
"This is a hot spring!"
The so-called Tangquan means hot spring.
Emperors of the past dynasties often looked for places with hot springs to build palaces and hot spring pools. Nowadays, many people have read about this thing in books even if they have never seen it.
The hot spring falls layer by layer along the cliff on the back of Shanyin, turning into a winding waterfall with a light mist of water vapor.
The mist spread, covering half of the mountain.
Originally it was not an eye-catching sacred peak with nothing but vegetation. Now there are waterfalls cascading over each other, and the mountains are looming in the mist.
It looks more and more extraordinary.
Not like the human world.
And that night, it started to rain.
The rain was not heavy as before, just a steady spring rain, but what was different from before was that this time there was thunder along with the rain.
Thunder ran like a snake in the sky. The light of thunder arrived first, and the sound of thunder followed closely behind.
Wait until the fifth day.
Everyone talked about this incident and connected all the recent events together.
"The spring thunder sounded last night."
"I heard that yesterday, someone at the foot of the sacred peak saw something radiating colorful light running up to the sky when the spring rushed out from the ground."
"That must be the spring thunder. What ran out of the ground yesterday was not some monster, but the thunder of the Awakening of Insects."
"This Chun Lei was indeed imprisoned by the gods and was only released now."
"No wonder there's been a lot of thunder underground recently. That's the Thunder of Jingzhe hidden under the Nine Earths, ready to strike!"
"I just didn't expect that the Thunder of Jingzhe ran out from under the Nine Earths and brought out a hot spring."
Everyone said so.
——
At night.
It was raining and thundering outside the cave.
The raindrops fell lightly, but there was no feeling of noise. Instead, it made people feel very comfortable.
Inside the cave, "Yun Zhongjun", who had just released "Spring Thunder", was soaking in a stone pool led by the hot spring, admiring the scenery outside the cave.
If it's a sunny day, this is Shuiyue Cave.
But even though it was a rainy night at this time, there was something interesting about it.
"Crack!"
Jiang Chao put the radio aside, and after pressing the switch button to turn it on, the sound of music came from inside.
This radio is unusual, it also accepts song requests.
There is a wine bottle and some food beside the pool. Although I have been saving electricity on rainy days recently, it doesn't seem so bad to soak in this hot spring pool at this moment.
Wangshu: "It's a real hot spring!"
Jiang Chao: "It's really good."
Wang Shu: "That's no need to say."
Jiang Chao: "When will your facility be completed?"
Wang Shu: "It's almost done."
When Jiang Chao got up and walked back slowly with the radio in hand, he found a few more things in front of him.
Jiang Chao: "Is this a grenade or a bomb?"
It should have been made by Wang Shu using some leftover scraps, just like the previous pistol.
Wangshu: "It's the Thunder that Awakens Insects."
As expected, Wangshu gave him another resounding name.
Jiang Chao: "Can giving a bomb a powerful name increase its power?"
Wang Shu is confident and confident.
"cannot."
"But it can increase the momentum."
"When you throw it out, shout to see my Jingzhe Divine Thunder, and others will definitely look at you high."
Jiang Chao: "I think it's better to throw it out quietly. If the enemy sees it at this time, shouldn't he just hide away?"
——
"The mountains are blooming."
There are various trees on the sacred peak, including some peach trees growing randomly in one area.
This year's cold winter is longer than in previous years, so the peach blossoms also bloom later. However, usually the peach trees at the bottom of the mountain bloom first, but it is different on Shenfeng. The peach trees on the mountain bloom before those at the bottom.
The hot springs flowed down along the ditches and waterfalls, which made the climate on the mountain become warmer, and the flowers began to bloom.
The hot springs made the clouds and mist on the mountain last longer, and also changed the climate environment on the mountain. Since then, the trees on the mountain have also become evergreen.
It seems more and more deep, like a secret realm,
But at this moment, for the people in the mountains, they saw something else.
They watched the peach blossoms bloom, and then the chirping of insects gradually began to appear. Birds also flew onto the branches, chattering nonstop, and the originally quiet forest suddenly became noisy.
"The flowers are blooming."
"The insects are also chirping."
"Look at that bird, it sings so beautifully."
The farmers walked through the fields carrying hoes, singing local tunes and smiling.
"The sound of thunder that awakens stings causes all things to begin to move."
The blooming flowers and the chirping of insects seem to give people a sense of vitality and confidence that there will be a good harvest this year.
As for the witches in the Yunzhong Temple, they have also been busy recently.
They found that the sacrificial methods passed down for hundreds or thousands of years sometimes did not seem to be that effective, so they also modified the sacrificial inheritance and made some corrections.
The divine witch talks about his feelings, while the sacrificial shaman writes.
"When you greet the gods and invite them to the gods, you must pay attention to the steps and pay attention to the incense. This is very important."
"In different seasons, the sacrifices must also change."
"Every year at the beginning of spring, we have to offer sacrifices to the spirits of the mountains and rivers and the dragons from all over the place, so as to ensure that the mountains and rivers are safe and free from disasters."
"Every year during the rain solar term, rice wine must be offered during sacrifices. If the gods accept the rice wine, the spring rain will fall in time."
"Every year during the Waking of Insects solar term, drums are played to draw out thunderworms from the ground during sacrifices, and the gods will release spring thunder. Spring thunder will sound, peach blossoms will bloom, and hundreds of insects will chirp."
The other witches knelt on the ground and listened with solemn expressions.
It seems that the way of offering sacrifices contains some kind of magical power.
That is the secret technique of communicating with gods.
The witches compiled and recorded the ancient inheritance of sacrifices based on their own experiences and adding their own imagination.
This way of offering sacrifices is also the way they understand the world.
In their eyes, the power beyond cognition must be related to ghosts and gods. There are some unknown beings controlling and arranging everything.
