It is still an ordinary cow. It has not turned into a demon cow by turning on its spiritual intelligence, but it appears to be much smarter than ordinary cows. Even its eyes are full of intelligence. The tiger boy rides on the back of the cow, and as long as he gently touches the cow's ears, it will
Knowing which direction to go and whether to go fast or slow reminds Huwa of the two white horses that pulled his cart back then.
This green bull has seen big scenes in Wangwu Mountain, and ordinary monks may never see such scenes in their lifetime. When crossing the river this time, Taiyi cast a spell, allowing it to carry the tiger baby on its feet and pass by the rolling waves.
The cow only mooed a few times and acted very calm.
Although the Lianghua River area is only separated from the Hougang clan's territory by a large river, and the distance is only about two hundred miles, the climate is somewhat different. At least spring here comes earlier. Many evergreens can be seen in the mountains.
Trees, after a spring rain, the dead trees that had lost their leaves in winter also sprouted new shoots, looking lush and green.
From the terrain point of view, the Lianghua River is a series of semicircular peaks embracing a plain. There are springs between each peak. The large and small springs merge into a stream of water on the plain, and merge into the river to the north.
.Several tribes live by the Mi River at the foot of the mountain, and "fairies" live on the mountain.
The scale of these tribes is not large, and the population of each tribe is about a thousand, which is far less than that of the Hougang clan or the Jiqiu clan. There is a city on the plain called Jicheng, and there are nearly ten tribes under its jurisdiction.
The scale is comparable to that of Jicheng or even slightly larger. Huwa and the other five people passed through Jicheng from the plain and came to the foot of the famous mountain where the "gods" lived.
The mountains in this area are similar to Wangwu Mountain on the north bank of the river, but the scenery is more beautiful, with lush vegetation and clear springs. It is also very close to the densely populated plains. There are many villages built on the lower gentle slopes. They walked along the mountains
Going up the deep valley, the road under your feet turned out to be very wide and flat. You could see many pedestrians along the way, and in addition to ox carts, you also saw several horse-drawn carriages.
Horses are much more delicate than cows, and those who can travel by carriage are almost all nobles from various ministries. In a valley with beautiful scenery, several people unexpectedly discovered that there was a small market here, using local materials such as bamboo, wood and stone.
Many houses have been built on the block, and more than ten shops have been opened on the roadside, as well as guesthouses and restaurants for people to rest.
Huwa got off the cow, walked to a shop and asked, "Uncle, where is this place and why is there a market in the mountains?"
The shop owner must have been used to seeing customers coming from all over the world, so he greeted him warmly: "This young nobleman, you are also here because of his reputation, right? Just ahead is the famous Baisui Mountain. There are noblemen from various ministries nearby.
It is a great place for spring outings. There are many Qingxiu manors in the mountains, but if you want to find the Centennial Spring, it is deep in the dangerous mountains, where it is difficult for cars and horses to travel, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get there..."
The boss introduced it for a long time before Huwa figured out what was going on. He felt quite speechless. In recent decades, this area has become a sacred place for the Immortal Family passed down by various nearby tribes, and all this is different from the one that was just beheaded last year.
It is related to the centenarian boy in the Southern Wilderness.
More than 200 years ago, a hundred-year-old boy was the elder of Lianghua River, and it was also a myth circulated among the local tribes. He had been practicing here for hundreds of years, and he always presented the description of a boy, and was regarded by the people as an immortal god. But he was a hundred-year-old.
The boy's way of choosing a successor was so weird that it finally aroused the vigilance of the Lianghuachuan sect leader at that time. Later, it was revealed that he practiced evil methods and harmed the people of various tribes.
The hundred-year-old boy escaped, causing an uproar among the local tribes, and the reputation of Lianghuachuan was greatly damaged. Lianghuachuan sent out its masters to chase the centenary-year-old boy all the way to the southern wilderness, but they never succeeded, and instead lost several of them. In fact,
After the incident of a hundred-year-old boy practicing evil practices, local people had different opinions.
Some people do not want to admit this fact, and privately claim that the centenary boy was framed by fellow monks. Some people in Lianghua River are jealous of talents, jealous of the centenarian boy's higher cultivation and status than them, and his greater prestige and influence among the people.
He is the leading immortal figure in this area.
Many people were prophets of a hundred-year-old boy and later learned about the sect in Lianghuachuan, so someone in Lianghuachuan framed him and forced the sect leader away.
Every year, a hundred-year-old boy goes down the mountain to select his successor, looking only at his qualifications and not his family background. Boys and girls from nearby tribes have been tortured by him, but some people are unwilling to admit this or face it. They would rather believe that the hundred-year-old boy was innocently framed.
, this can also prove that he is not an ignorant accomplice, the children of the clan have not been harmed, and the elders of the clan do not need to be ridiculed.
This was just a private discussion among the people at the time, but the fact that a hundred-year-old boy practiced vicious and evil methods is undeniable. However, two hundred years have been enough to change too many things in the world. The rumors of those years have become today.
It tells another myth and legend that is both regretful and beautiful.
It is said that more than two hundred years ago, a kind-hearted god lived in this mountain. For hundreds of years, he would come down the mountain every year to bless the people, and select young people with outstanding qualifications to bring back to the mountain to bestow immortality. People always saw him.
He looked like a child. But later, this kind-hearted and friendly god was jealous and framed, and had to leave here.
Some people say that he has gone to far away places, while others say that he has ascended to the immortal world. In order to commemorate him, people call this place Baisui Mountain.
Although the centenary boy has left, the relics of his cultivation are still there. There is a spring deep in the mountains. Drinking it regularly can prolong life, eliminate disasters and diseases, make people live a hundred years and even rejuvenate them. It is also called the centenary spring.
There are actually many springs in the mountains. No one can tell which one the Hundred-year-old Spring is.
So some people went to the mountains to draw spring water and brought it back to treat their relatives. Not to mention, many people really recovered from their illnesses after drinking the spring water in the mountains. This added to the magical color of the legend, so gradually people came
More.
Huwa, who is proficient in Lingshu Jue, certainly understands that many of people's illnesses are actually caused by disorders of body function. Recovery mainly relies on the body's self-healing ability, and drugs often only play an auxiliary role. Even if many patients do not take drugs, they just
Take a good rest and recuperate for a period of time, and you will gradually recover on your own.
However, in the process, if people drink the so-called Baisui Spring, they will inevitably think that this magical spring water has cured their diseases, which also makes the beautiful legend of Baisui Mountain spread more and more widely.
At first, people just went to the mountains to draw spring water. Later, there were rumors that the Baisui Mountain was enveloped by the spirit of fairy spirits. Many nobles built manors in the mountains as a place for leisure time. What they meant by "qingxiu" was not necessarily
It refers to practicing the secret method of the immortal family, and more importantly, resting and recuperating, including playing and taking a nap, which has also led to more people coming here.
With more people coming and going, especially more distinguished people, there were opportunities to do business. A market spontaneously formed in this valley next to the only road at the foot of the mountain.
After Huwa figured out the reason, he frowned and asked the shop owner: "Uncle, do you sell water containers here?"
There are shelves on three sides of the shop. On the shelves are various vessels for holding water, including clay pots, bamboo tubes, pots carved from stone, and gourds of various shapes and sizes.
The shop owner shook his head and said: "I'm either selling water supplies or selling water. As long as you buy my water, the stuff to hold the water will be given away for free." Then he looked around, then came over and said in a mysterious voice in a low voice.
, "There are many springs in the mountains, but few people know where the real Centennial Spring is. It is hard to find and get there. What I sell here are all obtained with great pains, and they have miraculous effects.
Hundred-year-old spring water..."
It turns out that this shop specializes in this kind of business. There are many springs in Baisui Mountain. No one can tell which spring the real Baisui Spring is. Some people just found one spring and brought it back. But the locals made another one.
There is a legend that only they know the real location of the Centennial Spring and sell this legendary spring water at a high price.
Huwa knew the details of the hundred-year-old boy. The so-called legend was just nonsense, but now there were so many ways to tell nonsense. But what could he say to the shop owner in front of him, so he had to shake his head and leave. When the boss saw Huwa
The others were all very talkative, and even walked out of the shop to sell them for a long time, but in the end they failed to make any business, so it was inevitable that they were a little disappointed.
They walked out of the market not far away, and another man caught up behind him and said, "Dear nobles, are you also here to see the Baisui Fountain? You just didn't buy it in the store just now! Baisui Fountain
In the deep mountains, few people know that the water sold by the boss is authentic and fake. If you want to get the real hundred-year-old spring water, you have to go there in person."
Jigu asked: "It sounds like you know where the spring is?"
The man smiled and said, "Of course I know. The job of staying here every day is to lead the nobles up the mountain to find the Hundred-year-old Spring. Without local people to guide the way, outsiders will not be able to find it at all. All they need is a few nobles to give them a reward."
That’s fine.”
After working for a long time, he was working as a guide, guarding the market, and making a living by taking people up the mountain to find the legendary 100-year-old spring water. Huwa and Hou Gang looked at each other with strange expressions. Lu Zhang also had to smile bitterly.
, said to the two of them: "Since we are here, let's go and learn some lessons!" Then he waved to the man and said, "Okay, please take us into the mountain to find the Hundred-year-old Spring."
The man's name was Heshu. Judging by his name, he should have been from the nearby Hejian clan. He led a few people into the Baisui Mountain. There was a road in the mountain, which was much easier to walk than the ordinary wild trail. It wound up, and there were many paths along the way.
There are many forks in the road, obviously caused by the many people coming here.
Green buds of grass and trees are coming out, and many flowers are blooming. Walking through the grass valley and granary, sometimes stopping to look at the beautiful scenery, especially in this season, it is even more refreshing. Huwa can't help but secretly sigh, the hundred-year-old boy back then
I really know how to enjoy myself, and I did pick a good place, but it’s a pity that this person is not a good person. (To be continued.)
