Chapter 433: Black Stone Mill
It's this black stone mill, it hasn't turned for many years, you can see if there's a way. ”
The villagers took us to the black stone mill and turned to leave, but I quickly grabbed him and begged him to say more about the big black stone mill.
The more information you know, the more likely it is that this thing will be done, just to make the big black stone mill turn, and the topic is too sloppy and vague.
The villagers were a little impatient, but they still opened their mouths to talk about the big black stone mill, and Mr. Yi also came over, and I couldn't block his ears, so I had to listen to the villagers with him.
Many years ago, the island was not what it is now, the sky was not covered by the sea, the people were simple, and the villagers had not become insatiable.
At that time, the inhabitants of the island were self-sufficient, there was no such thing as gold and silver currency, and shells were only ornaments, and the way of trading was mainly barter.
This is the village's threshing floor, where the rice and wheat grown are brought to the house, dried and hulled, and then milled into flour by a large black stone.
The big black stone mill does not need to be pushed by manpower, and it rotates every day for 365 days a year. Not only can it help the villagers mill rice and wheat, but it can also drive simple mechanisms to help the villagers bring water to their homes.
As for why the big black stone mill can rotate on its own, no one knows or cares about this, anyway, it has been rotating like this for a hundred years.
But suddenly one day, the big black stone mill stopped, many facilities in the village also stopped running, the sky was slowly covered by the sea, and even the sacred tree guarding the village was nowhere to be found, only a projection remained.
The village is basically shut down, but fortunately, there will be a fish rain in the sky in ten and a half days, and many fish will fall from the sky, and the villagers will have a good life.
And since then, the temperament of the villagers has slowly changed, and finally it has become what it is now.
After saying this, the villager reached out and asked me for a piece of gold, and then walked away slowly.
After the villagers left, Mr. Yi and I stood still thinking.
Mr. Yi's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed, and he looked at the big black stone mill, probably studying why this thing used to spin on its own, but now it suddenly stopped spinning.
Although I also want to solve the problem of the big black stone mill, what I care more about is the changes in this village.
As the villagers say, the village started out as a paradise-like place, guarded not only by the legendary immortal tree, but also by the big black stone mill and some magical utensils to help the villagers live.
But why did the island suddenly change one day, and slowly become what it is now?
I vaguely feel that this matter has something to do with the 'greed' of the Yin Beast, after all, the current state of the villagers is too much like being affected by the Yin Beast, but I have no evidence.
And 'greed' and 'anger' should be together, and I didn't find any trace of 'anger' on the island.
The village has become a miasma from a paradise, and the villagers may be fine, but the village chief must be very painful in his heart.
He came to us to get the big black stone mill to turn again, not because he wanted the village to return to its former state, but that was unlikely.
Mr. Yi had already approached the big black stone mill, he first reached out and touched the side, and then tapped it with his knuckles, probably trying to find the mechanism on the stone mill, but he didn't find anything.
Mr. Yi took out a few talismans and pasted them on the big black stone mill, and then recited words in his mouth, and used several different Taoist techniques on the big black stone mill in a row.
There are those who summon gods, those who are a little spiritual, and there are even those who chase corpses, but all the Taoist techniques and talismans have no effect on the big black stone mill, this is a stone lump, and there is no spirituality at all.
But Mr. Yi still doesn't believe in evil, and he has tried more than a dozen secret techniques, of which I only know three or five, and I have never heard of the rest, but it has no effect on the big black stone mill.
Mr. Yi shook his head and sat on the side staring at the big black stone mill, probably thinking about countermeasures.
I also came to the front of the big black stone mill, reached out and touched it, it was cold, it didn't feel like a stone, but between a stone and a metal, and there was a faint fragrance between the cracks of the stone mill.
I couldn't help but smell it twice, this kind of smell is very good, there is a little sweet fragrance of grain, and there is another fragrance, which makes people feel that the Lingtai is clear and refreshing.
I was a little surprised, what this big black stone mill had grinded, and how could it emit this strange fragrance.
I had observed the island's rice before, and it was made of ordinary rice that did not contain a bit of aura, and it was so rough that it was hard to swallow because it was not polished.
It is impossible for the Great Black Stone Mill to emit such a strange fragrance because it has been milled with ordinary rice, and the thing that may emit a vision on this island is the Immortal Tree?
But the immortal tree doesn't know where to run now, and the villagers can only summon a little projection, and even if the villagers treasure the big black stone mill, they won't put the branches and leaves of the immortal tree into it to grind.
So there is a problem in the big black stone mill, maybe this is the key to breaking the game!
Thinking of this, I deliberately made an expression of contemplation when I encountered a problem, and did not rush to take action, after all, Mr. Yi was next to him, and I couldn't share it with him.
Only when he leaves, will he check the big black stone mill again.
So I also moved a chair and sat next to it, planning to wait for Mr. Yi to leave before going to check the big black stone mill.
That's two whole days.
Although a Qi Refiner can't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth almost wirelessly to feed himself like a true master, and his demand for things is almost zero, it is still no problem to not eat for half a month when his spiritual power is abundant.
Mr. Yi stared at the big black stone mill, and every once in a while he would step forward to try it, from various Dao secret techniques to directly splitting with a knife, these had no effect.
Finally, on the morning of the third day, Mr. Yi finally couldn't stay up anymore, he yawned heavily, and then went back to the village, apparently trying to find something to eat and sleep again.
They are all Qi Refiners, and my fatigue is not much lighter than Mr. Yi's, but finally there is a chance for someone to study the Great Black Stone Grinding, and I have to endure even if I am sleepy.
I tried two secret techniques first, and both of them have the same effect, that is, - lock picking.
As long as it is not blocked by the True Master and the Heavenly Master, the two secretaries can open the door, but it has no effect on the Great Black Stone Mill.
"It seems that unlike what I thought, this big black stone mill is not a small secret room where people can hide."
"But why can it move on its own, and if it doesn't move, it won't move, and the fragrance, there must be something in it!"
"Since the stone mill can't be opened, why don't you ......?"
It occurred to me that I had the idea to go inside the Great Black Stone Mill and find out.
