It is still an ordinary cow, and it has not turned on its spiritual wisdom to become a demon cow, but it seems to be much smarter than ordinary cows, and even its eyes are full of spirituality. The tiger baby rides on the back of the cow, as long as it gently plucks the cow's ears, it knows which direction to go, whether it is fast or slow, which reminds the tiger baby of the two white horses that pulled the cart for herself.

This green cow has seen a big scene in Wangwu Mountain, and an ordinary monk may not see that scene in his life. When crossing the river this time, it was Taiyi who cast a spell and let it carry the tiger baby to the rolling waves, and the cow only mooed a few times, acting very calmly.

Although the area around Lianghuachuan is only separated from the territory of the Hougang clan by a large river, and the distance is only about two hundred miles, the climate is a little different, at least the spring here comes earlier. There are many evergreen trees in the mountains, and after a spring rain, the dead trees that have fallen in winter have sprouted.

From the topography of the Lianghua River, it is a semi-circular array of mountain peaks embracing a plain, and there are springs between the peaks, and the large and small springs converge on the plain to form a stream of water, which flows north into the big river. At the foot of the mountain, there are several tribes living by the water, and on the mountain live "immortals".

The scale of these tribes is not large, and the population of each tribe is about 1,000, which is far from being comparable to the Hou Gang clan or the Jiqiu clan. There is a city on the plain called Hucheng, and there are nearly ten tribes in its territory, and its scale is comparable to or even slightly larger than that of Yuncheng. Huwa and the other five people passed through the city from the plain and came to the foot of the famous mountain where the "immortals" lived.

The mountains in this area are similar to Wangwu Mountain on the north bank of the Great River, but the scenery is more beautiful, the grass and trees are lush and the springs are clear, and it is very close to the densely populated plain, and there are many villages built on the gentle slopes of the lower places. They walked up the valley in the mountains, and the road was so wide and flat that they saw many pedestrians along the way, and saw several horse-drawn carts in addition to ox carts.

Marco was much more expensive than the ox, and almost all of the people who could travel by carriage were nobles from various ministries. In a beautiful valley, a few people were surprised to find that there was a small market here, with many houses built from bamboo, wood and stone, more than a dozen shops on the roadside, as well as inns and restaurants for people to rest.

The tiger baby got off the cow and walked to a shop and asked, "Uncle, what is this place and why is there a market in the mountains?"

The boss who sold things should have been accustomed to seeing customers coming and going from the south to the north, and greeted him very warmly: "This little nobleman, you are also admired, right? Walking forward is the famous Centennial Mountain, the place where the nobles from various nearby departments go on a spring outing." There are many Qingxiu manors in the mountains, but if you want to find the 100-year-old spring, it is in the depths of the dangerous mountains, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach ......"

The boss introduced it for a long time, and the tiger baby figured out what was going on, and felt a little speechless. In recent decades, this area has become a sacred place for the immortal family passed down by various nearby tribes, and all this is related to the hundred-year-old boy who was beheaded in the Southern Wilderness just last year.

More than 200 years ago, the hundred-year-old boy was the elder of Lianghuachuan, and it is also a myth among the local tribes. He has been cultivating here for a hundred years, and his presentation has always been described as a child, and he is regarded by the people as an immortal. However, the way the hundred-year-old boy chose to pass on his descendants was too strange, and finally aroused the vigilance of the sect master of Lianghuachuan at that time, and later revealed the secret of his cultivation of evil methods and cruelty to the people of various tribes.

The hundred-year-old boy fled, and the local tribes were in an uproar, and Lianghuachuan was also discredited. Lianghuachuan sent a master to chase and kill the hundred-year-old boy all the way to the Southern Wilderness, but he never succeeded, but lost several people. In fact, just after the incident of the hundred-year-old boy cultivating the evil law, the local folk had different opinions.

Some people did not want to admit this fact, and privately claimed that the hundred-year-old boy had been framed by fellow monks. There are people in Lianghuachuan who are jealous of the virtuous and envious, jealous of the cultivation and status of the hundred-year-old boy who is higher than them, and whose prestige and influence among the people are also greater, and they are the leading immortal figures in this area.

Many people are prophets who are hundred-year-old boys and then know the sect of Lianghuachuan, so someone in Lianghuachuan framed and forced this sect leader away.

The hundred-year-old boy goes down the mountain every year to select a successor, only looking at the qualifications and not the background, and there are young boys and girls in the nearby tribes who are brutalized by it, but some people are unwilling to admit this, and they don't want to face it. They prefer to believe that the hundred-year-old boy was innocently framed, so that they can prove that they are not ignorant accomplices, that the children of the clan have not been mutilated, and that the elders of the clan do not need to be ridiculed.

At that time, this was just a private discussion among the people, but the fact that a hundred-year-old boy practiced evil and evil methods was undoubted. But two hundred years have been enough to change too many things in the world, and the rumors of that year have become another myth and legend that is both regretful and beautiful.

It is said that more than 200 years ago, there lived a kind fairy in this mountain, and in hundreds of years, he would go down the mountain every year to bless the people, and select a young man with outstanding qualifications to bring back to the mountain to give the fairy fate, and people always saw him in the appearance of a child. But later, this kind and close to the people immortal was jealous and framed, and had to leave here.

Some people say that he has gone to a distant place, and others say that he has soared to the immortal realm. In order to commemorate him, people called this place the Centennial Mountain.

Although the hundred-year-old boy is gone, but the relics of his cultivation are still there, there is spring water in the deep mountains, and drinking it often can prolong life, eliminate disasters and diseases, make people live a long life and even rejuvenate themselves, and it is also called the hundred-year-old spring. There are actually a lot of springs in the mountains, and no one can tell which one is the hundred-year-old spring.

So some people went to the mountains to draw spring water and brought it back to treat their relatives. Not to mention, there are many people who have been cured of illness after drinking the water from the mountain springs, which adds to the magic of the legend, so more and more people gradually come.

Of course, Huwa, who is proficient in the spirit of the body, understands that many of people's diseases actually stem from the imbalance of body functions, and the recovery mainly depends on the body's self-healing ability, and drugs often only play an auxiliary role. Even if many patients do not take medicine, they will gradually recover on their own even if they just rest and recuperate for a period of time.

However, in this process, if they drink the so-called 100-year-old spring, then people will inevitably think that this miraculous spring has cured their diseases, which also makes the beautiful legend of Baisui Mountain more and more widespread.

At first, people just ran to the mountains to draw spring water, and later there were rumors that the 100-year-old mountain was shrouded in fairy spirits, and many nobles built manors in the mountains as a place for leisure cultivation. Their so-called Qing cultivation does not necessarily refer to the cultivation of the secret methods of the immortal family, but more to rest and recuperate, including playing and resting, which has also led to more people coming here.

The more people who came and went, especially the nobles with status, there were opportunities to do business, and a market spontaneously formed in this valley at the foot of the mountain.

After Huwa figured out the reason, she frowned and asked the shopkeeper: "Uncle, are you here to sell water containers?"

There are shelves on three sides of the shop, and on the shelves are all kinds of water vessels, including clay pots, bamboo tubes, pots carved from stone, and gourds of various shapes and sizes.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I'm either selling water utensils or water." As long as you buy my water, the water will be given away for free. Then he looked around, leaned over and said in a mysterious low voice, "There are many springs in the mountains, but few people know where the real hundred-year-old spring is, and it is very difficult to find and difficult to reach." What I sell here is a miraculous 100-year-old spring water that I have worked so hard to obtain......"

It turns out that this shop specializes in this kind of business, and there are many springs in the 100-year-old mountain, and no one can tell which one the real 100-year-old spring is, and some people just found a spring to take back. But the locals have created another legend that only they know where the real 100-year-old spring is, and sell this legendary spring water at a high price.

The tiger baby knows the details of the hundred-year-old boy, and the so-called legend is just nonsense, but now the can still pull out so many tricks. But what could he say to the shopkeeper in front of him, so he had to shake his head and leave. The boss saw that Huwa and the others were talking well, and he walked out of the shop and pulled them to sell for a long time, but in the end they didn't make a business, so he was inevitably a little disappointed.

After walking a short distance, he walked out of the market, and a man behind him caught up and said: "A few nobles, did you also come to look for the 100-year-old spring? I didn't buy it in the shop just now! The 100-year-old spring is rarely known in the deep mountains, and no one knows the authenticity of the water sold by the boss, and if you want to get the real 100-year-old spring water, you have to go there yourself." ”

"Listen to what you mean, it seems that you know where the spring is?"

The man smiled: "Of course I know, the livelihood of staying here every day is to lead the nobles up the mountain to find the hundred-year-old spring." Without locals to lead the way, outsiders can't be found at all, just a few nobles to give some rewards. ”

He was a guide for a long time, staying in the bazaar, taking people up the mountain to find the legendary hundred-year-old spring water for a living, Huwa and Hou Gang looked at each other, and their expressions were a little strange. Lu Zhang also had to smile bitterly, and said to the two: "Since we are here, let's also go and get some teaching!" and waved at the man, "Okay, please take us into the mountain to find the hundred-year-old spring." ”

The man's name was Heshu, and he should have been from the nearby Hejian clan, and he led a few people into the Hundred Years Old Mountain. There is a road in the mountain, which is much easier to walk than an ordinary wild path, winding up, and there are many forks along the way, which are obviously stepped out by more people.

The grass and trees sprout out, there are many flowers blooming, walking through the grass valley and the granite, sometimes stopping to look into the distance, looking at a good scenery, especially in this season, it is more refreshing. The tiger baby couldn't help but sigh secretly, the hundred-year-old boy back then knew how to enjoy it, and he did choose a good place, but unfortunately this person was not a good thing.
