Chapter 13: Cognitive Misunderstanding
In front of a row of wooden houses, piles of bonfires were raised, and a group of people and a dragon-like beast sat around them.
"I always thought that there was only a legend left in the clan. A burly middle-aged man, holding a freshly grilled leg in his hand, said as he ate.
"Father, according to what he said, we need to wash our body in the source pool to use the source power, have we ever done such a thing?" a young man sat on the side and wondered.
"This is the first time I've heard of it, after all, we are born with the ability to feel the source power, and as for what the source pool is, it is still unheard of. The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Wen Jin, don't be frustrated, you just want to use the source power, it's not a big deal. The girl patted Wen Jin's shoulder and said.
Listening to the girl's words, Wen Jin's brows still did not stretch, and after entering this village, Wen Jin also knew the general situation here from these people.
This is the Holy Relic Island, a place where the sea is a holy mountain on the other, this small village is called Bailing Village, and it is also the only village on this island, the people around this bonfire are all the family members of the little girl, the little girl is called Gu Yao, the middle-aged man and the young man are her father and brother respectively, and some other relatives and friends, after all, Wen Jin is the first person to come here from the outside world, so the people of the whole village are gathered together with curiosity, the village is not big, and the population is less than five hundred, so a large bonfire party was specially held。
"You were born with the ability to feel the source power, is this a matter of physique, or is there something that everyone ignores!" Wen Jin muttered to himself.
"What are you still thinking! This bonfire party is for you, how can you do if you don't eat more, you want to find the source pool you said, it's not too late to think about it after you've eaten and drunk! Here, this piece is for you. Gu Yao was on Wen Jin's right hand and handed over a piece of roasted oily bone meat.
"Oh, thank you!" One bite down, the skin is crispy, the inside is full of gravy, there is no excessive seasoning, it is salt and sprinkled with unknown wild vegetables, similar to coriander, Wen Jin still rarely thinks it is delicious, is it because of hunger?
"It's strange to say, how can you, an outsider, be with the Guardian Beast of the Holy Mountain, like us, and only see it on the day the holy water rains down one year. Gu Yao's father, Gu Yue, looked at the dragon-shaped beast beside Wen Jin and said in surprise.
"Father, the one we see seems to be a little different from the one we see now, well, it's too small, much smaller than the one we saw. Gu Yi said what he thought.
"I don't know how it sticks to me, but, Uncle Gu, what are the holy mountains and holy water you are talking about?" Wen Jin remembered the Tianshan that Teacher Xue Li said, is this related to the holy mountain?
"If you ask this, you won't think that the Holy Mountain has something to do with the source pool you said!" Gu Yue said with a serious expression.
And Gu Yao and Gu Yi also looked at Wen Jin.
"What's the matter? Isn't it possible to say that the Holy Mountain can't be said?" Wen Jin felt strange in his heart when he was looked at by several people, so he asked cautiously.
"It's not really, but I just want to tell you that if you plan to go up to the Tianshan Mountain, it's better to dispel this idea quickly. Gu Yue shook his head and said.
"Under the holy mountain, there are countless powerful beasts, the closer you get to the holy mountain, the more powerful those beasts become, back then, even my mother was..."Gu Yi explained.
"yes, I see. Seeing Gu Yi talking about his mother, his face became depressed, Wen Jin knew that something bad must have happened, so he didn't ask too much.
The bonfire party continued, and people kept talking, and the people who came either asked Wen Jin how the outside world was, or they were curious about the so-called holy mountain guardian beast around Wen Jin, Wen Jin had a word to talk to the person who came to talk, but his mind didn't know where he flew.
In the middle of the night, the bonfire had been extinguished, and the people slowly dispersed.
In a wooden house that has just been cleaned up, Wen Jin is lying on a solid wooden bed, looking up at the night sky outside the wooden bed, there is no moon and no stars, it is strange to think about it, during the day, Wen Jin does not feel that the sky has seen the sun, but the sky is not dark, and it is the same at night, where is there no sun, moon and starlight? Where does the light come from, I don't understand!
However, the most important thing now is Yuanchi, except for the holy mountain that he knows, everything else, he has no clue.
"Squeak!" the wooden door was gently pushed open a gap, and a pair of clear eyes looked through the gap.
"Who?" Wen Jin got up and looked over.
"It's me, don't be nervous, I'm just looking to see if you're asleep, I can't sleep. Gu Yao whispered.
"What do you want to do!" Wen Jin looked up and down, and Gu Yao said suspiciously.
"How about accompanying me to the beach to blow the wind, I just ate too much, and I can't sleep now. Gu Yao pointed to the south side of the village, where Wen Jin hadn't gone to see it yet.
Thinking about it, I am also troubled now, blowing the sea breeze, and letting go of my thoughts, maybe it will indeed be better, so I didn't refuse.
Got out of bed softly, and as soon as he took a step, something was kicked, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a dragon-shaped beast lying on the ground sleeping, and it seemed to have been kicked by Wen Jin, his eyes opened in a daze, and he whined, as if he was asking why he kicked it.
"I'll go blow the sea breeze, will you go to sleep or go with me. Seeing that the dragon-shaped beast looked like it hadn't woken up, Wen Jin wanted to laugh.
The dragon-shaped beast rolled its eyes upward, not knowing whether it was going or not, Wen Jin ignored it and walked out of the wooden house.
Gu Yao stood outside the door, the animal skin clothes on his body had been changed into casual clothes made of linen, simple short clothes and wide and long linen pants, different from the silk on his body, there is no such thing as silk in this world, according to what Wen Jin said, it is too backward, and the people on this island are a bit primitive.
The two walked south, passing through wooden houses, and about a kilometer away, Wen Jin heard the sound of the sea crashing on the beach.
Walking to the beach, the sea breeze blows, with a slight coolness.
The waves here are very small, just slightly pushing the sea water onto the beach, the sea at a glance, there is no endless visual effect, but is obscured by bursts of clouds, there is no tendency to rain, and there is a breeze, but the clouds can obscure the view, which is really strange.
"Gu Yao, haven't there been any outsiders on your island before?" Wen Jin asked.
"No, I'm curious about how you got here, and I didn't hear from you, you just said that you came to find some source pool to wash yourself. Gu Yao looked at Wen Jin and said.
It is true that Wen Jin has told the people here about the outside world, but how he came here, and how he can summon the Gate of the Source Pond to leave here, he did not reveal it, in an unknown place, he must always leave some way back for himself.
"Then haven't you ever tried to go to sea to see the outside world, the outside world is so colorful!" Wen Jin changed the subject.
"I've tried this kind of thing a long time ago! But no one has ever walked out of this sea, and they will walk back here and forth. After Gu Yao finished speaking, Wen Jin was shocked, did she just say something very important.
No one can cross the source pool, and there is no sunlight all day long, only clouds and mist floating.
Thinking of this, Wen Jin hurriedly asked, "One more thing, Gu Yao, why don't you have a boat on the beach?"
"Boat, ferry, what's that?" Gu Yao looked like he couldn't understand what you were saying.
"The boat is a means of transportation that allows people to ride on it and can travel on the sea!" Wen Jin said excitedly.
"Isn't this a useless thing at all? The sea is up to the calf, what do you want the boat to do, even if there are places, it's quite deep, just swim over, the distance is quite short. Gu Yao looked at Wen Jin like an idiot.
By the way, Wen Jin remembered what was important, that was Teacher Xueli's description of Yuanchi, déjà vu, from the mouths of different people, after combining, looking at the sea in front of him, could it be...
Look at the sea in front of you again, and if you look closely, you will find that this sea water is crystal clear.
Run out quickly and step into the water.
Seeing Wen Jin beside him suddenly running to the sea, Gu Yao wondered for a while, what's the matter, haven't you seen the sea?
What is this? This is not the seawater he is talking about at all, as soon as he steps into the seawater, Wen Jin feels as if the seawater is integrated into his body, from the soles of his feet to the upper body, something is surging.
It felt like a trachea was blocked by something, a little uncomfortable, not smooth.
The source pool washes the body, turns into source qi, breaks through the shackles in the body, opens the open door, hides the source, and controls the source power.
Wen Jin thought of what Teacher Xue Li taught in the academy at this time.
That's right, this is the source pool, but it's a little different from what Teacher Xue Li said, and he can't say it for a while, but anyway, his own source pool washing is a fall.
Then the next step is to look for a deeper place, and it would be better if you could find a special artifact, Wen Jin thought.
Although it can wash the body here, the effect is definitely not as good as the kind of place that Teacher Xueli said.
"Wen Jin, what are you doing in a daze, is it fun in the sea?" Gu Yao didn't know when he walked to Wen Jin's side and said.
"Sea water? Is this the case? Haven't you just gotten used to it without being washed by the source pool? This is a misunderstanding caused by different cognitions!" Looking at Gu Yao, Wen Jin suddenly realized.
"What the hell are you talking about, it's very inexplicable!" Gu Yao said a little unhappily.
"Eh, I'm sorry, I just thought about it, what are you talking about?" Hanging people aside, it's really not good, Wen Jin said embarrassedly.
"Forget it, you seem to be quite happy, has anything good happened?" Gu Yao said curiously.
The two of them stood in the seawater, and Wen Jin talked slowly to Gu Yao about what he had just discovered.
And on the edge of the beach, the dragon-shaped beast flew over at some point, landed on the beach, watched the sea lapping on the beach, and tried to catch the waves of the sea with its paws, again and again, as if it had found something interesting, and had fun.
