Chapter 99: The Legend of the Spirit Vein (2)
"Okay."
Seeing that Zhao Guo'er didn't elaborate, Tian Yougen nodded in agreement without asking in detail: "The livestock shed at home is indeed not small, so it will be much easier to do what you said."
"Grandfather, have you ever heard of the idea that there are spiritual veins on this mountain of ours?" Following Tian Yougen back, Zhao Guo'er asked tentatively.
"Of course I did. Your mother told you, right?"
Tian Yougen smiled when he heard this, and said happily, "This, your mother still listened to me tell her when she was a child. Hey, these are legends that I don't know hundreds of years ago."
Stopping and pointing to the endless mountains not far away, Tian Yougen said with a smile, "This whole mountain is called the Immortal Mountain Range, also known as the Immortal Moat. Legend has it that as long as someone can cross this mountain range, they will be able to see immortals. If you are lucky, you can still be selected by the immortals, and you will be able to turn from a mortal to an immortal in an instant. Unfortunately, it's actually a legend. From the ancestors of our ancestors...... I don't know of anyone who has actually been able to cross this mountain range."
"Immortal Mountains, Immortal Trenches." Zhao Guo'er thought thoughtfully, "Entrenchment, is it the meaning of the heavenly moat?"
Does it mean that this mountain range is located between the secular realm and the cultivation realm?
So in this primordial world of hers, it is very likely that there are cultivators in the cultivation realm?
"Exactly."
Tian Yougen continued to walk forward, and without Zhao Guo'er continuing to ask, he talked about the legends he had heard: "According to legend, our place was originally the only way to the immortal's residence. From time to time, there will be immortals passing by. Once, a woman went up a mountain to chop wood and accidentally saved a seriously injured immortal. The immortal thanked her, and left her a gourd that was said to hold as many jars of immortal brew as there were ten vats, so that she and her family could prolong her life and eliminate all diseases by drinking it regularly."
"Dad, how did the gourd become immortal brew? I still remember what you said back then was clearly fairy water, the tasteless kind."
Tian Funiang couldn't help but correct while listening: "I still remember that you said that the immortal specially explained that mortals can't drink too much water, and if they drink too much, they will die. As a result, the woman's husband had an outside heart, and he didn't want to let his father-in-law and mother-in-law take advantage, so he wanted to kill the woman. That night, he deliberately used that water to cook soup and tricked the woman into drinking it all. You say, if that water is immortal brew, is it tasteless? How could that woman be so stupid and drink it all in one go?"
"That's right, that's right, I remembered it wrong, that is the tasteless fairy water?"
Tian Yougen was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little embarrassedly and said to Zhao Guo'er: "Actually, it's all the same, anyway, it was that woman's husband who had a wolf heart and killed that woman, so that the immortal would know. The immortal was furious, and in a fit of anger, he killed everyone in the woman's husband's family, and cut off the path of the immortal. After that, the world will never see the gods in and out again. The people of the woman's husband's family were also angry with the people in the vicinity, and drove them away. But even that didn't make the immortals angry."
After speaking, in order to confirm that what he said was true, Tian Yougen said to Zhao Guo'er again: "At that time, there were still people who did not give up, and wanted to go through this mountain range to the place where the immortals lived. But even if I took a lot of guards and left, I don't know how many years, and after a lot of hardships, I still couldn't go on. In the end, there were only two or three people left, and those two or three people were all seriously injured and escaped in embarrassment.
It is said that there is a deep valley in the middle of our immortal mountain range that stretches for tens of thousands of miles. The deep valley was split by the immortal with his sword in a fit of rage. The deep valley is not only unfathomable, but there are also fierce beasts that can blow people out thousands of miles and break to pieces. Not to mention mortals like us, even immortals with poor immortal power can't get by. If it weren't for the fact that mortals like us couldn't get along all these years, why wouldn't those immortals be able to come?" Z.br>
Zhao Guo'er: "...... What about the spiritual veins? Has anyone ever found a spiritual vein in the mountains?"
"No one has ever found out." Tian Yougen smiled, "You don't have to take it seriously. In fact, everyone knows that it is just a legend, where is there really any spiritual vein?"
"Don't you care if it's there? What the hell is that spiritual vein?" Zhao Guoer asked.
"yes, I didn't even ask about this when I heard it
What's the saying here?" Tian Funiang also asked, "Dad, do you know?"
"What else can I say?"
Tian Yougen waved his hand: "Isn't it the fairy water of that gourd. It is said that the immortal behind him did not take it away, and some people say that he was angry that the fairy water of the gourd caused trouble to his benefactor. Some people also say that he is so that his benefactor's father and descendants can live well.
In short, it is said that the gourd and the fairy water were directly thrown away by him, and he threw it into the mountain somewhere else, and turned into a spiritual vein, nourishing the water and soil, which can be regarded as he repaid the woman's life-saving grace.
Therefore, the water in our place is extra sweet compared to other places, and the long things are better than other places. Even if we have the spiritual vein protection here in a famine year, no matter what, we will not lose any grains. At least the bark of the grass roots is still full. No one has starved to death for hundreds of years."
"Dad, do you think that legend can be believed?" Tian Funiang approached Tian Yougen's side and asked him in a whisper.
"Perhaps."
Tian Yougen said casually and indifferently: "Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have had fewer natural disasters in the past. I've heard people say that there are famine years elsewhere that can starve people to death, and it's so miserable that those who are hungry can only eat dirt. In our place, I haven't seen it since I was a kid anyway. But I was so hungry that I had to live a few times by eating wild vegetables and turf."
"Grandfather, if I had told you I had found an underground river. There was a fierce and delicious fish in the river. However, my mother and I only ate a few bites of the fish before we panicked. We tried giving fish to chickens and ducks, and they were able to lay eggs right away. But they can't eat more, and some chickens eat a few more bites and die. Do you think that this place is actually a spiritual vein that the big guy can't find?"
Seeing Tian Funiang looking at herself inquiringly, thinking that this matter must not be hidden, and there is nothing to hide. Zhao Guo'er said to Tian Yougen, "Otherwise, how can such a magical fish be produced in that place?"
"Is that a fish really that godly? Can you tell chickens and ducks to lay eggs as soon as they eat them?" Tian Yougen stopped in surprise, "Then I'm afraid even immortal water can't do it, right?"
"I don't know if I can do it. I knew the fish shop. The eggs laid by chickens and ducks that eat fish are very delicious."
Zhao Guoer pointed to Tian Funiang: "I don't believe you asked your mother. Also, the fish is very tasty. After eating, people can still feel the warmth of the dantian. If I hadn't rushed back in a hurry, I felt that after eating the fish, I would have started to practice the inner strength and mental method, and the benefits I would have obtained might have been even greater. But it's okay, I'll try again when I have a chance later."
