After Gu Peng left his sister's courtyard, he walked in the garden, because his father was doing business all the year round, and his family was well-off, so the garden was also very delicate and beautiful, and all kinds of exotic flowers and trees on the continent formed a beautiful and gorgeous scenery in the small courtyard, Gu Peng usually likes to take a walk here, because only here his heart will be particularly quiet.

Unconsciously, Gu Peng came to the pond and found the figure of a child on the stone bridge, the corners of Gu Peng's mouth hooked a smile, and he recognized who the child was at a glance. In order to take care of Gu Peng and Gu Yue, his father Gu Chuan hired Zhou Ping, a middle-aged woman from Qingshui Town, to work as a maid in their house, so Zhou Ping's son Zhou Xiaoshan often came to this small mountain villa to play.

Zhou Xiaoshan is only eight years old this year, and he looks very smart and cute, so Gu Peng and Gu Yue treat him as a younger brother, and Zhou Xiaoshan's father was unfortunately killed by a monster when he went to the mountain to hunt last year, in order to facilitate care, Zhou Ping obtained Gu Yue's consent, and took Zhou Xiaoshan into the villa, Gu Peng and Zhou Xiaoshan got along for a year, and treated him as his own brother.

Gu Peng walked quickly onto the stone bridge, and found that Zhou Xiaoshan was staring at the pond in a daze, glanced at the pond, and found nothing unusual, and couldn't help but wonder why he was so engrossed: "Xiaoshan, what are you doing?"

Zhou Xiaoshan obviously didn't notice the arrival of Gu Peng, he was startled coldly, and after realizing that it was Gu Peng, he immediately grabbed Gu Peng's shirt and said in a childish voice: "Brother Dapeng, I picked up a magical stone, it can attract goldfish in the pond!"

Zhou Xiaoshan said and took out a round stone that flashed red light and was the size of a fist from his arms, as if he wanted to show off the strangeness of the stone to Gu Peng, so he shook it to the goldfish in the pond, and a magical scene appeared, all the goldfish in the pond, whether big, small, red, yellow, white, or colorful, all rushed to concentrate directly under the bridge, and even many goldfish wanted to jump out of the water to bite the stone that emitted red light, although in vain, countless goldfish still jumped out of the water, trying to bite the red stone on Xiaoshan's hand。

When Gu Peng saw this scene, his face changed slightly, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he also guessed that the red stone in Xiao Shan's hand should be a treasure, so it would attract countless goldfish, but what kind of red stone it was, he couldn't figure it out for a while, staring carefully, he found that there was a certain pattern faintly inside the red stone, but he couldn't see it very clearly, "Xiao Shan, lend me your stone to see!" Gu Peng said eagerly.

Zhou Xiaoshan handed the stone to Gu Peng without hesitation, and after Gu Peng took it, he looked at it carefully, and then found that there was a picture of a unicorn inside the stone, and he didn't know who it was, but he could paint inside the stone, the red stone was integrated, without the slightest sign of being cut, and the person who painted obviously had a lot of magical powers. All kinds of signs indicate that the red stone is very likely to be a spirit treasure, and it is worth a lot of money, the owner of the key spirit treasure is still a weak child, Gu Peng wants to get this spirit treasure can be said to be easy, but Gu Peng did not have the slightest idea of taking it for himself, while handing the red stone to Zhou Xiaoshan, he asked casually: "Xiaoshan, where did you pick up this stone?"

"It's right next to the waterhole at the bottom of the waterfall, and I picked it up while playing water rafting, and I found it beautiful and I stayed. Zhou Xiaoshan smiled innocently, but did not reach out to pick up the red stone, but said childishly: "Brother Dapeng, this was originally a birthday gift for you, you can keep it." After saying that, Zhou Xiaoshan ran away with a smoke, not giving Gu Peng a chance to refuse at all.

Gu Peng looked at the red gem in his hand, couldn't help but smile dumbly, thought for a moment, and then put the red gem into the space ring, and then helped Xiao Shan keep it, and then waited until he found out the origin and use of the gem, and then returned it to him, Gu Peng was also a little curious, what is the use of this strange stone.

During the banquet, Gu Peng also received birthday gifts from Fu Bo and Aunt Zhou, Fu Bo and Aunt Zhou respectively, Fu Bo gave him a short sword, and Aunt Zhou gave him cloth shoes, these birthday gifts were cherished by him in the space ring. The banquet lasted until late at night, and the birthday celebration ended on a successful note.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Gu Peng got up and began to practice boxing in the courtyard, practicing the "King Kong Jue" taught by his father since he was a child, and he had already cultivated the "King Kong Jue" to the third layer, and every punch he swung would be flooded with golden mangs, and he hit the stone more than one person high, and the golden mangs flashed away on the stone, and the incomparably hard marble suddenly fell apart. Gu Peng used to practice for two hours, and then he would end his cultivation, because refining the body needed a lot of resources to support it to continue to break through, although Gu Peng's family background was good, but the resources needed for refining the body were very expensive, and he couldn't afford to consume it at all, if he relied on cultivation alone, even if he worked hard and diligently all his life, his achievements were still limited, so Gu Peng was unwilling to waste energy and time on cultivation before. Now, Gu Peng feels that he has grown up, he doesn't want to hide under the wings of his father and sister for the rest of his life, which will only drag them down, he wants to become stronger himself, strong enough to protect his family and protect his dignity. With the support of this belief, Gu Peng kept practicing every day, and even stopped every time he had to practice until he was exhausted, and there were several times when Gu Peng practiced boxing and even fell asleep when he fell asleep in the yard, every time Gu Yue would appear at the moment Gu Peng fell, and carried him into the house, seeing Gu Peng's diligent and enterprising appearance, Gu Yue was both relieved and distressed.

Time went on slowly, and before I knew it, three months passed in a flash. Shimizu Town ushered in the autumn of a bumper harvest and also ushered in the annual Lake God Festival. To put it simply, the lake god festival is to worship the lake god. More than ten years ago, Qingshui Town was located in a remote mountain village, and was often harassed by some low-level demonic beasts from the Warcraft Mountain Range, and many villagers died tragically under the claws of Warcraft, but since six years ago, Qingshui Town no longer suffered from any Warcraft attacks, and people were pleasantly surprised to find that the low-level Warcraft that had caused them a headache did not dare to approach Qingshui Town at all, even if Warcraft preyed on prey, they would bypass Qingshui Town, and it seemed that there was a terrifying force in Qingshui Town that made them fearful. Later, there were villagers who played by the lake and accidentally fell into the water, after the villagers organized a search to no avail, the next day the child was miraculously rescued, the village spread that the lake lived in the lake god, the lake god blessed the safety of Qingshui Town, so from that time, Qingshui Town will hold a sacrifice every year to pray for the lake god to bless the safety of Qingshui Town.

Early in the morning, Gu Peng, who was asleep, was woken up by his sister and instructed him to take the excited Zhou Xiaoshan to participate in the Lake God Festival. Gu Peng didn't have much interest in the Lake God Sacrifice, because he knew the origin of the so-called Lake God, so he lacked the awe and mystery he deserved. However, it was the first time for Zhou Xiaoshan to participate in such a grand sacrifice event, so he was very excited, and Gu Yue generously gave him a gold coin as pocket money, of course he was very excited. Before the festival began, all kinds of vendors selling snacks were already filling the streets, and the cries of selling were coming and going. Zhou Xiaoshan kept shuttling through various food stalls, and Gu Peng had more and more snacks in his hands, because Zhou Xiaoshan would help him buy one every time.

"I'm going to buy two bunches of sugar gourds. ”

"Give me two sugar men. ”

"Buy two meatloafs. ”

"Give me two more marshmallows. ”

"Xiaoshan, can we buy it after eating, you see that you have so many snacks in your hand, what if you can't finish it for a while?"

"Brother Dapeng, we can't eat it, we can sacrifice it to the lake god. Zhou Xiaoshan said innocently.

"The lake god won't like uh, maybe he will. Gu Peng was a little uncertain.

With the sound of drums, the villagers began to rush to the lake, and the lake god festival was about to begin.

"Brother Dapeng, let's hurry over too. Zhou Xiaoshan dragged Gu Peng's clothes and said.

"Hmm. Gu Peng took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to the food on his hand into the space ring, then carried Zhou Xiaoshan on his shoulder, and walked in with the crowd towards the altar by the lake.

Near the altar, a group of lion dancers were performing vigorously, which caused a burst of applause from time to time, and after an hour of excitement, under the auspices of the witch, the sacrifices were carried out by the great men.

Looking at the offerings brought out, Gu Peng couldn't help but chuckle, roast whole sheep, roast beef, roast suckling pig, roast chicken, roast duck, crystal elbow, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, everything is Xiao Kun's favorite food, it seems that this time Xiao Kun can eat a little happier. Gu Peng actually knew that Xiao Kun was the god of the lake for a long time, because it was he who asked it to rescue the person who fell into the water, but he didn't expect it to become more and more exaggerated later, and it turned into the legend of the lake god, but because of this, he helped solve part of the food problem, otherwise with Xiao Kun's terrifying appetite, sooner or later he would have to eat his family poor. As for why the Warcraft no longer attacked Qingshui Town, I am afraid it is also because of Xiao Kun's relationship, as a supreme-level divine beast, the terrifying coercion that naturally exudes alone is not something that ordinary Warcraft can bear, so no Warcraft dares to offend Qingshui Town. Gu Peng, who knew everything, had no intention of telling everyone about Xiao Kun's existence, because people's fear of Warcraft had long been deep-rooted, and daring to tell the villagers the truth would only cause unnecessary panic.

"Why are the offerings cooked food, and most of them are dishes from restaurants?" muttered to the first-time villagers of the village.

"You don't know this, right?" the people next to him couldn't help but gossip: "Three years ago, when the sacrifice was made, all the live sheep and live cattle were thrown back by the lake god, and at the same time, a restaurant menu fell from the sky and fell into the hands of the sacrificial mother-in-law, so the annual sacrifice was changed to the content on the menu." ”

"Oh, I see!" Many villagers immediately looked at each other, "It turns out that the lake god is actually a foodie!" I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Legend of Dapeng", and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
