The north stops at Gezhou, the south borders, and the country of Yangchun.

Yangchun Kingdom is a small country in the south, with only more than ten cities, and the capital Yangchun City, with a population of only 500,000.

He was a vassal state of the great wealth of the great power to the west, and his land was narrow and poor, and he lived mainly on a mountain range that produced secret gold.

At the foot of the Mikkin Mountains, there is a Yellow Leaf Village.

At dawn, in a dilapidated courtyard at the east end of the village, a thin man carried an old woman out of the hall.

A little girl of five or six years old followed behind, struggling to pull a bamboo chair.

When the little girl dragged the bamboo chair over the threshold and put it in the yard, the thin man carefully put down the old mother on his back.

Looking at his mother, who was sitting in a comatose sitting on a bamboo chair, a trace of worry flashed in the thin man's eyes.

Then he said to the little girl next to him: "Xiaohua, take care of grandma, Daddy will come back when it gets dark, there is porridge in the kitchen, wowotou, and some jerky, don't forget to eat it at noon." ”

The little girl leaned on the bamboo chair and said with a little face: "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely take care of grandma, and when it is time for Aunt Liu's house next door to cook at noon, I will burn hot porridge and feed it to grandma." ”

The thin man showed a pleased smile on his face, rubbed her hair with some distress, and advised: "Don't forget to eat yourself, those jerky are prepared for you, grandma has bad teeth and can't eat it." ”

The little girl nodded: "I know, Daddy, don't worry." Daddy, when can I take my grandmother to the county hospital to see a doctor? ”

"I heard from Erniu that her brother had also had an illness before, and then her father took him to the county seat to find Langzhong, so he was optimistic."

The thin man glanced at the mine not far away, and finally looked at the old mother in the chair, and replied: "Soon, in another half a year, when my father has saved enough money, I will take my grandmother to the county seat to see a doctor." ”

"When the time comes, I will also take Xiaohua and buy Xiaohua's favorite rock sugar gourd to eat."

The little girl thought about the very sweet rock sugar gourd she had eaten a few years ago, and she almost drooled.

But she couldn't help it and said with a smile: "Mmmm, treat grandma first, cure the disease, I will go to the mountains with my grandma to pick honeysuckle and sell it for money, and then buy rock sugar gourds to eat." ”

"When the time comes, buy three strings, one for me, one for grandma, and one for daddy!"

The thin man forcibly suppressed the sourness in his heart, smiled lovingly, and said: "Buy four strings, two strings of small flowers, one string for me and my grandmother, and the child can grow taller by eating more." ”

The little girl nodded happily: "Mm-hmm." ”

Then he told a person to take care of his grandmother at home and some things that need to be paid attention to, and the thin man took two dry and hard nests out of the house and went to the mine behind the village.

The morning fog lifts and the sun rises, and it's a day full of hope.

Xiaohua stood at the gate of the courtyard, and after watching her father disappear into the village, she returned to the courtyard and went to find the leftover wild vegetable soup from last night, as well as the earthworms that were dug up early to feed the chickens and ducks in the cage.

Then she brought a small wooden stool, sat on the edge of the bamboo chair, pinched her grandmother's legs with her little hands, and sang the little songs that her mother had taught her before.

"A plough ox is half a field, and the harvest depends on the sky, and the famine also depends on the sky."

"After the rain, the sky is blue and the boat is driven, the fish is on the side, sprinkled on the side......"

The wind blew from the village field, swept over the mulberry and jujube trees in the village, and blew into the yard, and the leaves rustled, as if they were singing with her.

I don't know how long it took, Xiaohua, who was humming a song, heard a commotion outside the yard.

She couldn't hold it back, and when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Aunt Liu next door leading the tiger, and the second girl also followed her mother-in-law, as well as some other aunts and mothers-in-law, walking towards the outside of the village together.

"Aunt Liu, where are you going?" Xiaohua asked curiously.

Aunt Liu replied: "Xiaohua, the head of the county just came, saying that today is the centennial tour of the gods of Donghua Mountain, and the gods will travel to a continent, and they may pass by our Yangchun country." ”

"The village chief asked us all to gather under the big camphor tree at the head of the village, pray together, and pray that the goddess will send down the divine power, so that everyone in our village will be free of illness and disaster."

The second girl and her mother also said with concern: "Xiaohua, is your father at home?" Let your father carry your grandmother on her back and go to the village to pray for blessings, maybe the goddess will hear it and let your grandmother's illness be cured. ”

Xiaohua replied, "Daddy has gone to the mine." ”

Erniu's mother was surprised: "Didn't he come back yesterday, I heard that his foot was smashed, why did he go to the mine again today?" ”

Floret shook her head.

Aunt Liu and Erniu and her mother regretted for a while, Xiaohua's grandmother had been sick for many years and was delirious, and the men in their family had also gone to the mine, and they couldn't carry these girls on their backs, so they couldn't bring Grandma Xiaohua to the village.

Xiaohuamu sent the aunts and mothers-in-law, like a New Year's fair, and all went to the village.

After listening to Aunt Liu and Erniu's words, she also wanted to take her grandmother to the village to pray for blessings, but she was too young to move her grandmother.

After several attempts, I couldn't get the chair to move for half a minute.

She sat on the ground, looked at the unconscious grandmother on the chair, and then looked in the direction of the big camphor tree at the head of the village, her little face wrinkled, not knowing what to do.

After sitting for a while, she remembered that during the Duanyang Festival, her father worshiped God in the morning, and immediately got up from the ground quickly, and went to the water tank to wash her hands first.

Then he put three wowotou in a bowl as divine rice, and went to the hall to find three incense sticks, went to the kitchen and lit them, and took them to the courtyard together.

She ran outside the courtyard gate, looked at the big camphor tree at the head of the village, when the aunts and mothers-in-law began to bow down and pray for blessings, she quickly ran back to the courtyard, headed to the east, inserted three incense sticks on the ground, and then held the wowotou god rice in both hands, and knelt down to worship seriously.

While worshipping, he whispered: "The god of great mercy and compassion, I am Zhao Xiaohua from Huangye Village, my grandmother is sick, my father works very hard in the mine every day, and he has to feed me, he can't save money, please send down Ganlin to heal grandma, as long as grandma's illness can be cured, I am willing to kowtow to you every day!" ”

After saying that, she put the wowotou Shenmi on the ground, and really banged her head three times in a row.

……

The god of Donghua Mountain is in the twilight, and Li Xiangyi steps into the clouds, all the way to the west.

Everywhere he went, the rain of divine power turned into rain and fell, sprinkling from the east to the middle, north, and south.

Her figure is very tall, half a head taller than the slender Li Xiangyun.

She is dressed in a divine robe, exuding a solemn, luxurious, and sacred temperament, and she is really the presence of the gods of heaven and earth.

It's just that the people on the ground, whether they are immortal monks or ordinary people, can't see her.

Li Xiangyun followed her side, silently watching.

When passing by the mountains and rivers gods and the sky above the Imperial Court Righteous God Dojo, there would be faint glimmers of divine power flying up and submerging into his body.

Since Donghua Mountain, the two have not spoken, as if the god lady invited him to go along, really just to ask him to witness, and at the same time let the gods from all walks of life feed back to him, a divine benefactor, and help him refine his Dao body.

However, along the way, perhaps too close to the Divine Lady, Li Xiangyun was able to listen to many prayers from the ground.

There was a time when the king led hundreds of officials to worship, and there were also simple prayers of ordinary people.

When he came to the Central Domain, the divine power flew rain and rain, sprinkling all over the eastern part of the Central Domain, the southeast of the northern territory, and the northeast of the southern region, Li Xiangyun suddenly heard a little girl's immature and pious prayer.

"The god of great mercy and compassion, I am Zhao Xiaohua of Huangye Village, my grandmother is sick, my father works very hard in the mine every day, and he has to feed me, he can't save money, please send down Ganlin to heal grandma, as long as grandma's illness can be cured, I am willing to kowtow to you every day to incense ......"

Li Xiangyi glanced at the Divine Master, but Twilight didn't react and continued to walk forward.

However, the Shinto rain that filled the sky all over his body naturally fell on a large area and fell to the country where the immature prayers came.

Li Xiangyun glanced down, according to some of the more unique mountains and rivers on the ground, combined with the "Atlas of a Thousand Kingdoms in Beizhou" that he had seen, he recognized that it was a small country named Yangchun in the south.

The goddess does not stay, and Li Xiangyi is not easy to check, after the Shinto rain falls, the grandmother of the little girl who prays will be sick.

Looking at the tall and solemn goddess in front of him, he somewhat understood.

……

Huangye Village, in a dilapidated yard.

After Xiaohua bowed, she kept kneeling, because she didn't know if the goddess had heard her prayers, and if she had heard, she would have ignored her.

She thought that if she knelt down a little longer, she might be able to let the goddess know her mind.

She really hopes that her grandmother's illness can be cured, so that her grandmother can lead her to the market, wash clothes by the river, and pick fruits and herbs in the mountains, just like when she was a child, and her father will not have to work so hard.

I don't know how long she knelt down, her knees hurt a little, and at this time, one of the sticks of incense in front of her fell a piece of cigarette ash.

She couldn't help but want to rub her little knees, and then continue to kneel, at this moment, she saw that under the root of the courtyard wall, a few vegetable fields planted by her father were growing rapidly, and cucumbers, loofahs, peppers, and eggplants, which were originally seedlings, were rapidly flowering and bearing fruit.

This made her very surprised, and she looked at it with wide eyes, thinking that she was dazzled.

Just as I was thinking about what was going on, I suddenly heard a strange sound of "babbling" behind me.

When I looked back, I saw my grandmother on the bamboo chair, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Grandma'?!!!"

Xiaohua was overjoyed, but she couldn't believe it.

"Little Flowers......

"Grandma, you, you're really awake, great!"

Hearing the familiar call, he finally stopped doubting, and jumped up from the ground, got up too violently, and knelt down for too long, and almost fell.

But she didn't care, and quickly came to the bamboo chair with her little feet.

"Grandma, how are you feeling now? Does it still hurt? Will it be uncomfortable? Why don't the flowers rub it for you? ”

Grandma had been asleep for almost three years, but when she woke up like a dream, she smiled and shook her head when she looked at her happy granddaughter.

"It doesn't hurt, it's comfortable everywhere, grandma seems to be fine. Flowers, come here, let grandma take a good look at you, you have grown so big in a blink of an eye, my good granddaughter! ”

The old lady took her granddaughter's little hand, pulled her into her arms, kissed her on the forehead, and hugged her tightly and was reluctant to part.

The little girl was kissed and rubbed by her grandmother, feeling the long-lost warmth, but a thought came to her heart:

"It turns out that praying to the goddess really works, then I will do what I say, and kowtow to the goddess every day in the future!"

A thin man appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Looking at the grandchildren who were hugging each other, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

The little girl felt something, got out of her grandmother's arms, and looked at the courtyard gate.

"Daddy, why are you back?"

"I don't know, but I suddenly wanted to come back, so I came back."

"I know, it must be the goddess who asked Daddy to come back, Daddy, Grandma woke up and got better!"

The thin man nodded, his eyes getting moister.

Then he turned and walked away.

Xiaohua wondered: "Daddy, where are you going?" ”

"Go buy rock sugar gourds, buy four skewers!"

Xiaohua was slightly stunned, and then laughed happily.

……

Donghua Mountain Divine Lord Yun Twilight and Li Xiangyi continued to travel west.

Passing through the country of Zhongye, the country of Dashun, the country of Qian and other countries of all sizes, and then walked to the sky above the country of Great Wei.

Cao Chong, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, also took the first assistant Tang Shouzhang, the second assistant Xu Qingzheng, the governor of the capital Xiao Qizhi, as well as the ninth prince Cao Chikong, the eleventh princess Cao Jianing and other civil and military officials and royal relatives to worship at the Temple of Heaven to welcome the divine master of Donghua Mountain.

Yun Twilight was outside the capital of Great Wei, and he glanced at it from a distance, and did not enter the city, but turned north.

Li Xiangyun followed behind her, looking at the place she was about to pass through, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Because of the Divine Master's trip, the next destination seems to be Hanshan Academy?

This?

He finally arrived at Donghua Mountain, is he going home?

The cloud twilight dressed in a divine robe did pass through the cold mountain, but it still did not stop, and continued to go north across the academy.

Li Xiangyi followed the wind, and when he walked over the academy, he faintly saw a few familiar figures in the Aiwan Pavilion.

But since the goddess didn't stop, he didn't have any action, so he could only cross the mountain gate without entering.

When he looked at the Aiwan Pavilion, several people in the Aiwan Pavilion naturally saw him and Yun Twilight.

Zhou Lengxi and the two deputy mountain chiefs Dong and Liu, who came from behind, were very calm.

Wu Ying, the master mother, was very surprised and asked, "Old man, what do I think of the little one who follows the god master's mother?" ”

"The Divine Master Niang Niang is in a fugue, how could he follow?"

Zhou Lengxi didn't answer, but just watched the two people in the air go away.

Wu Ying had no choice but to look at Dong Xieyang and Liu Buming, the two deputy mountain chiefs, but Dong and Liu shook their heads together, they were far worse than Lao Zhou in terms of deduction and calculation.

Besides, the academy only has the vein of Lao Zhoutou, and he has a relationship with the god of Donghua Mountain, Li Gengxin went east this time, in addition to sending gifts and congratulations to the god master, whether there is any other inside information, only Lao Zhou Tou knows.

Seeing that the three old masters ignored her, Wu Ying, the teacher, was a little angry, and wanted to take out a big gun and pierce a hole in her old man.

But thinking about the good things she thought about when the eldest apprentice just came down the mountain, she couldn't help laughing again.

The goddess and the mother have let Xiao Yi go along, so Xiao Yi's marriage with her apprentice Jiang Jinwan Fairy shouldn't be a problem, right?

Zhou Lengxi glanced at his wife strangely.

Just as Shi Niang was thinking about it here, Yun Dusk and Li Xiangyun had already walked out of the Central Realm and came to the Northern Realm.

As soon as he entered the northern border, a figure crossed the air and stopped in front of him.
