51. Mountain God

"Girl, why are you sleeping on the ground?"

In her sleep, a gentle female voice sounded, and at the same time a hand gently nudged her.

Kagome opened her eyes suddenly, and a smiling face came into view, and she subconsciously smiled.

"Girl, get up, it's cold on the ground!" The middle-aged woman was dressed in a gray cloth dress, her hair was simply coiled up with a wooden hairpin, and she was slightly hunched and stretched out a calloused hand to help Kagome.

Kagome rubbed her eyes, smiled and waved her hand, "Thank you, auntie, I can do it myself!" She rolled over neatly as she spoke.

"My aunt's house is in front, do you want to go and sit down?" The middle-aged woman withdrew her hand and picked up the huge wooden basin filled with washed clothes on the ground next to her, and said enthusiastically.

"Okay, you won't bother your aunt, right?" Kagome's eyes were black, and that was right for him.

"No, my aunt is very welcome!" The middle-aged woman Gu Shi said heartily.

Kagome picked up the mat and quilt on the ground and silently followed the middle-aged woman, who looked around the village and said a few words to her.

Sure enough, within five minutes, they came to the courtyard of a farmhouse.

Aunt Gu pushed open the door and beckoned, "Come in, girl, the place is very simple, you should be at home!" ”

Kagome took a look, the yard was quite spacious and clean, and it could be seen that Aunt Gu was very capable.

"Girl, where are you calling?" Aunt Gu pulled over a small bench and put it next to Kagome and asked.

Kagome snorted, there were too many things about her that didn't fit in here, and it was not surprising for Aunt Gu to ask this.

"I ...... I'm from outside the mountains. Kagome sat on the small bench and muttered for a moment, then replied vaguely.

"Outside the mountain?" Aunt Gu's eyes lit up, "Tell your aunt quickly, what dynasty is it outside now?" ”

"What dynasty?" Kagome was confused by Aunt Gu's appearance, she didn't seem to be surprised at all that she was from outside the mountain, and she was very interested in the world outside the mountain.

Aunt Gu slapped her thigh, pulled over a small bench and sat down, and talked endlessly.

According to the oral tradition of the elders of their village, their Taoyuan City has only existed for a thousand years.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a UFO descended from the sky into this mountain, and the governor of S State organized a team of people to explore the situation, but later after the team entered this mountain, they found that they couldn't find their way out!

At first, they tried every possible way to leave here, but after living for a long time, the wind and rain in this big mountain were smooth, there was no war, famine, and no intrigue, so they stayed in this mountain, and even named it Taoyuan Village.

Over the past thousands of years, Taoyuan Village has continued to develop and expand, and has become a huge city - Taoyuan City.

At first, from time to time, people outside the mountain would accidentally break into this mountain, but later it may be that the excessive number of people who disappeared for no reason in this area caused everyone to be vigilant, and there were fewer and fewer people outside the mountain.

In recent years, visitors from outside the mountains have almost disappeared.

Aunt Gu heard the old man say that the world outside the mountain is very vast, as a native of Taoyuan City, she has been yearning for the outside since she was a child, she even climbed to the mountain with her friends to explore the way out, but unfortunately, she can't get out!

Kagome listened very attentively, Aunt Gu's words coincided with some of the information Qin Yi found, and it seemed that those rumors were largely true.

"Did a messenger from the mountain god bring you in?" After Aunt Gu finished talking about the history of Taoyuan, she began to ask again.

Mountain God Messenger? Does that "frogman" count?

"Seems to be, right?" Kagome wasn't quite sure.

"Right? I knew there was a mountain god messenger! Aunt Gu didn't seem to hear the hesitation in Kagome's words, she slapped her thigh suddenly, and said excitedly, "Listen to the old man, everyone who comes into the mountain will be led by the mountain god!" ”

Aunt Gu's voice was extremely loud, and with just a few words, Kagome saw that there were many seven aunts and eight aunts in the spacious courtyard one after another, and even some small tails.

They didn't speak when they entered the courtyard, they sat down next to them with their own small benches, and listened with relish, while the little tails found a corner and squatted down.

"Girl, tell your aunt again, what does the mountain god messenger look like?" Aunt Gu asked again.

When the listeners in the courtyard heard this, the old man with his neck stretched out like a stupid goose, listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"I don't remember exactly." Kagome felt so embarrassed that she muttered something like this for a while, you can't say that the messenger is a frogman, right?

When the audience heard it, some people were dissatisfied, doesn't this mean that they didn't say it?

"Girl, think about it again!" Someone urged in a hurry.

Finally, something fresh came, and they didn't do it like that!

"Uh...... He seems to have grown quite tall, with big eyes, long arms and legs, and when he jumps, he jumps tall......"

Kagome closed her eyes and began to break blindly, she suddenly understood a little, why people in myths and stories are always omnipotent, they are all blind!

"The mountain god envoy is too powerful!" The audience in the audience was particularly cheering, one by one showing adoration and shouting excitedly.

Kagome always heard them mention the mountain god, and she whispered to Aunt Gu's side, "Auntie, what is the mountain god?" ”

When Aunt Gu heard this, she hurriedly covered her mouth, "Don't call Lord Mountain God!" ”

Kagome nodded again and again to show that she understood, and Aunt Gu let go of her hand and gave her a science popularization of mountain gods.

The people of Taoyuan City believe in the mountain god, for thousands of years, it is the mountain god who blesses them, and they Taoyuan people will be smooth and prosperous.

Moreover, a miracle descends every year in Taoyuan City - the Tower of Babel.

Every Taoyuan person can climb the Tower of Babel, and according to legend, those who can reach the top will have the opportunity to meet the mountain god!

However, each Taoyuan person only has one chance to climb the tower in his life, and those who have climbed the tower will be rejected by the tower and can no longer enter the tower.

Although for thousands of years, no one in Taoyuan has been able to reach the top, but if you go to the tower, you will also receive a gift from the mountain god if you are lucky, which can enhance your body and prolong your life!

The higher the number of floors you climb the tower, the more abundant the rewards you will receive!

Therefore, the annual mountain god festival - people who climb the Tower of Babel always flock to it.

At first, Kagome was unimpressed, but the more Aunt Gu said about the mountain god, the more she was amazed in her heart - could it be that there are really gods in this world?

"Babel?" Kagome's eyes lit up, and she was in high spirits.

"Yes, Xiaowei girl, you are lucky, in three months it will be time for the Tower of Babel to open, if you want to try it then, you can participate on behalf of our Taoxi Village!" Aunt Gu smiled and patted Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome was stumbled by Aunt Gu, she looked at Aunt Gu with strange eyes, this strength seems to be a bit outrageous!
