064, Historical Inventor (I)
Heshu's daily livelihood is to take the distinguished guests who come to the mountains to find the "real 100-year-old spring", so the road chosen must be exquisite, not too difficult to walk for the distinguished guests to reach, or accidentally slip and fall on the road, but also remote enough, so that people believe that they are in the right place.
After walking for more than an hour over two mountain beams, he finally left the mountain road and entered the woods, through which was an overgrown path between the two mountains, but the terrain was not precipitous, and even the green ox could easily follow. The river tree slowed down and asked if everyone needed to rest for a while, and there was a spring next to it to quench their thirst, but it was not a hundred-year-old spring.
The mountain people who walk through the wilderness all the year round are of course nothing to walk this way, just sweating, but the foreign guests may not be able to stand this tiredness, and they usually have to rest for a while when they come to this place. But at this moment, the five guests didn't even sweat, shook their heads and said that they didn't need to rest, and let Heshu continue to lead the way.
The river tree was a little surprised, so he continued to hurry, the place was not far away, and after walking for less than half an hour, he entered a quiet valley on the heights, and there was a clear spring pouring down from the cliff, and it became a shallow pool, and the surrounding trees were towering, and the lush and dense canopy of trees covered this place tightly, and it was indeed deep and secluded enough, and it was difficult to find this place without anyone to lead the way.
There is a large stone in the waterhole, the surface is very smooth, and it looks like it has been stepped on by someone, and standing on top of the stone is just enough to hold the clear spring that has fallen with your hands.
He Shu wiped his sweat and pointed to the spring and said, "This is the legendary 100-year-old spring, if I didn't lead the way, outsiders wouldn't be able to find a place at all." You don't buy water at the bottom of the mountain, we have a local saying that you have to drink the spring water in the mountain to have the best spiritual effect, if you hit the water at the bottom of the mountain, the spiritual effect of the 100-year-old spring will be lost by half. ...... A few distinguished guests, let's taste this hundred-year-old spring, it's sweet!"
Lu Zhang secretly scolded Diao Min in his heart! Directly paid him the reward, waved his hand and said: "We already know the way back, you can leave after taking the money for a long time." ”
He Shu was very surprised and disappointed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "A few distinguished guests, you can't walk around in this mountain, if you get lost, it will be dangerous." ...... It is not early in the day, and you have not brought dry food, and there is a manor not far from here, where there is game in the mountains for the guests to enjoy, and you can also rest and stay there for the night, and give a few rewards when you leave, and then go down the mountain when you have had enough fun tomorrow. ”
Finally took the business of these five distinguished guests, River Tree wanted to earn more than just the money to lead the way, bypass this spring and walk forward, not far away there is a manor built by the River Clan, where food and lodging can be provided, it is a more profitable business, River Tree can lead people over and get double rewards.
Lu Zhang shook his head and said: "No need, I have my own opinions, you can leave after taking the money, and you don't have to bother in front of you." ”
Lu Zhang annoyed him and asked him to leave quickly. With Lu Zhang's cultivation as the development of the Yuan Shen, in fact, the situation in the mountain has been investigated very clearly. Further up along the spring in front of you, there is a deep pool of waterfalls in the high part of the mountain, and there are abandoned architectural remains on the edge of the pool, which may be the cave of monks hundreds of years ago.
Interestingly, five aqueducts were carved out at the water's edge, fan-shaped in the forest, leading to different places in the lower places, and five small springs were created in different valleys below, and the place where they came was one of them. What's more interesting is that looking at the traces of the other four springs, there are also frequent people, and there are two more places with tourists at the moment.
The tourists in those two places were also brought up the mountain by local guides, and the introduction of the two guides to the tourists was almost exactly the same as what the river tree had just said.
There are many places in this mountain that are called "real 100-year-old springs", but it is probably less than 20 years since the spring in front of me appeared. It seems that this is a kind of livelihood of the local mountain people, almost every village has found a spring, and if it is not found, it has also built a place by itself, and then brings the tourists who come to the mountain to "find".
If it is just because of false rumors, the locals mistakenly think that the spring water is a 100-year-old spring, but in doing so, isn't it clear that they are playing tricks on the guests and getting money? Of course, it is impossible for Lu Zhang to deal with these villagers and mountain people, but he will not have a good face.
He Shu was surprised, he brought many guests to find this place, and when they saw this spring, they often went to drink it with surprise and reverence. And the few guests in front of them didn't mean to drink the spring water at all, so why did they spend all the money to come here to do it? Not to mention people, even the green cow didn't bow its head to drink water!
Lu Zhang ignored the river tree that was still standing there stupidly, and had already turned around the spring and walked towards the mountain, and the others followed behind. There was no road in that direction, and the cliffs were steep, but they could not stop the footsteps of these people in the slightest, and even the green ox seemed to be walking lightly, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
With the foot strength of these people, climbing such a mountain is nothing at all, even the tiger baby who has no magical power feels very relaxed, and it is difficult for the green cow to walk in the steep place of the high cliff, Taiyi will take advantage of the situation to support it with great mana.
A few people talked as they walked, and Hou Gang said: "Lord Lu Zhang doesn't need to be angry, in fact, the mountain people may not be liars. There has been no hundred-year-old spring in the 100-year-old mountain since ancient times, but the rumors are getting more and more evil, and the spring water in this mountain has become a 100-year-old spring. In the minds of the locals, it is actually the same at all glances. ”
Taiyi also said: "There is a waterfall and a deep pool at the height, and there are architectural relics by the pond, which may be where the hundred-year-old boy was in the cultivation cave." If you have to find a place that says it is a 100-year-old spring, it should be there. It was from there that the spring of Fangcai was brought down, and it took a lot of effort, so it could not be regarded as a fraud. ”
Lu Zhang snorted coldly and said: "I'm not angry about anything else! The details of that hundred-year-old boy, we are not ignorant, but a wicked adulterer. But two hundred years later, it has become a sacred place for immortals, known as the 100-year-old mountain, and the 100-year-old boy has been rumored to be a fairy figure.
The evil demons were glorified and praised, and the Lianghuachuan Sect Master, who exposed and hunted down the evil demons back then, was said to be a jealous and capable person!"
Of course, Lu Zhang knew about Bo Yi's killing of demons. Mr. Zhangji and the hundred-year-old boy led a group of evil cultivators into the Wuyun Mountain Range, trying to seize the Yandi Immortal Palace, but were repelled by Yaoji, Huwa and others, so Xuanyuan also urgently summoned all the masters on the Bayuan to gather at Chiwangqiu.
Lu Zhang had seen Yao Ji in Badu City, and was full of admiration for this fairy, and he wanted to go to the Yandi Immortal Palace as a guest but didn't get it, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen later, how could he not be angry?
In the past two hundred years, the hundred-year-old boy has not actually died, and he has done a lot of evil in the Southern Wilderness, but he just doesn't dare to make too much noise. But in his hometown of Lianghuachuan, his person was beautified into such a fairy figure, and even the mountain where the cultivation cave was located back then became a sacred place for immortals in the legends of various tribes.
Huwa sighed: "Everyone knows what happened back then, and after the passage of time, the facts have not been buried, but deliberately distorted. It's not that the people are ignorant, but someone deliberately did it, and the head of the Lianghuachuan sect and the heads of the tribes in the area of Hucheng are not unrelated to it. ”
The beautification of the hundred-year-old boy in local legends is really because people have gradually forgotten the facts, thus creating this misunderstanding with false rumors? Huwa believes that of course this is not the case, but the result of deliberate guidance by someone.
In the past two hundred years, there has been no war here, the Lianghuachuan sect is still inherited, and the tribes have not been destroyed and broken, and the history is continuous. How could the patriarch of the Lianghuachuan sect not know the facts, and how could the head of the monarch who inherited the position of the head of each tribe not know what happened back then?
They all knew that at this time, there was a sensation back then, and a large number of evidence of 100-year-old boys mutilating teenagers in various departments were found in the mountains, and the Chinese Son of Heaven was shocked. Even if everyone doesn't want to see such a thing happen, but the evidence is ironclad, it is impossible to overturn the case for the 100-year-old boy.
Now the rumors made up have become the history of legends, regardless of the fact that they are still there, of course, it is the result of deliberate guidance, at least the Lianghuachuan sect and the heads of the nearby tribes have remained silent, not only do they not clarify, but they acquiesce to the rumors becoming legends, and such legends are likely to be created by some of them at the earliest.
Some people don't care what kind of demon they allow the people to glorify and glorify, they only care if their goals are achieved. The matter of the hundred-year-old boy is a shocking scandal for Lianghuachuan, if you want to eliminate the impact of this matter and restore the prestige of the sect among the local people, you have to take the blame from the sect master who has long been ancient.
The hundred-year-old boy turned out to be not a demon, but the sect master of Lianghuachuan at that time was a jealous and capable person. It is certainly not a good thing to have a jealous and jealous sect master, but compared to the horrific tragedy of a hundred-year-old boy who has been brutalizing the people of various tribes for a hundred years, the impact is much smaller.
What's more, in the eyes of today's people, that sect master seems to be an unrelated ancient, and it is not a big deal to throw the pot on his back, as long as the contemporary elders of Lianghuachuan are still admired.
The thoughts of the heads of various ministries are similar, and the facts have long been unchangeable, but future generations can "discover" the so-called historical truth. In the myths and legends of Baisui Mountain, they are not ignorant victims and accomplices, and they can also get practical benefits. Some people remained silent, while ordinary mountain people, like River Tree, profited from it.
This made Lu Zhang feel disgusted, and of course Huwa and the others would not have any good feelings about it. Don't think that the history made up at will has nothing to do with you, anyway, it is a thing that has long been in the past, Huwa and the others have just come from the land of Jiuli and have dealt with a hundred-year-old boy.
