Chapter 173: Half an Acre of Sugar Cubes, A Circle of Flower Gardens (Part II)
Over there, Xiao Sanzhu and the two old men finally finished speaking, and he hurriedly walked over to Mo Wunian and Wu Mu.
"Since the two little friends are friends of Sanzhu, they are also our guests!" The two old men walked over and talked to Mo Wunian and Wu Mu, and their words were polite.
Thinking that it should be Xiao Sanzhu, he said all the good things in front of the two old men with his very poor mouth.
Then, the two old men hurriedly ordered people to arrange a feast.
The humanistic customs of the demon clan have always been much simpler than those of the human race, especially in the way of hospitality, Mo Wunian saw some of them when he was in the village of Xiaohu and Lao Yuan, but it was completely reflected here.
Mo Wunian followed Lao Su all the way, and many demon clans saw them and performed rituals that he had never seen before. Some are respectful to the elderly, while others are respectful to the lovely......
Although he didn't understand it at all, he could see that the latter was more common than the former.
It can be seen that in fact, in this ancient village, to a certain extent, it is also similar to some places in the villages of the human race, for example, there is an ancestral hall here, but I don't know if their sacrificial rites are the same as those of the human race?
The old man named Huang Quan seemed to see a little of their doubts, and he smiled gently: "A few of them should be the demon clan outside, probably think that our demon clan should have no etiquette and civilization, right? Speaking of which, we are also the remnants of the ancients." ”。
"Ancient relics?" Mo Wunian was originally not interested in what he said, but when he heard the last two words, he immediately became interested.
Because some of the things he wanted to check happened to be related to "antiquity", the reason why he came to the 100,000 Mountains to find the ancestral land of the demon clan was that the ancestral land of the demon clan was also an ancient relic land.
also saw that Mo Wunian was interested, and Lao Suo then talked again.
He said that a long time ago, there was no sacrificial clan in the world, and it was not as divided as it is now, and the demon race and the human race were not so clearly distinguished.
There is only one demon court in the world, and all the territories of the world are also managed by a great emperor of the demon clan......
But just more than 100,000 years ago, heaven and earth underwent drastic changes, and the once glorious demon court suddenly fell apart, and the emperor was nowhere to be found, leaving only an empty demon heavenly palace.
"That's the heavenly palace! that's on that mountain...... That's what you outsiders call the ancestral land of the demon clan!" Huang Quan said, leaning over and pointing to the huge and majestic mountain range in the center of the village, with a little pride and piety in his expression.
Mo Wunian walked around and realized that this village was actually built around this mountain in a circle. But at the same time, he also had doubts about what Lao Suo said...... More than 100,000 years ago, there was a demon court?
He had never heard of these in any classics, even Wu Mu felt the same way, and he was horrified, but neither of them said anything, but continued to listen to Lao Suo.
"The demons here are born with spiritual intelligence, and I think it is also because of the bloodline of the ancient demon clan. Speaking of this, the expression on Huang Quan's face became more and more proud, especially for Mo Wunian and Wu Mu, the folds on his face were stretched, but then he looked lonely and said: "But it may also be because of the ancient bloodline, and we can't practice the current cultivation method at all...... Alas!".
Hearing the first half of his words, Rao Yi was Mo Wunian's heart, his heart was slightly shocked, as far as he knew, which demon class was born with spiritual wisdom in this world is not qualified above the seventh-order spiritual platform, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was relieved again.
At the same time, I also believed a little bit of the old man's words, but I didn't fully believe it.
"Yes, I used to go out and collect some demon clan cultivation methods for these children to practice, but they couldn't even attract spiritual energy into their bodies!" Xiao Sanzhu sighed as he listened.
"Brother Sanzhu, aren't you just like us, why do you just practice?" The child is childish, and brings up the old things again in front of him.
As soon as this kid said this, Mo Wunian also noticed him, and he found that the aura on his body was really similar to Xiao Sanzhu, if it weren't for the fact that he had a pair of beast ears on his head, it would really be easy for people to confuse him with the human race.
Not even just him, even the aura of all the demon clans in this village is different from the demon clans outside.
"Da Zhuang! Didn't Grandpa Huang tell you......"
"Ahem, old thing, you're an upside down?"
Huang Quan Laosuo wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Hu Sheng on the side, it seemed that there were some things that were not convenient to reveal to Mo Wunian and Wu Mu, the "two outsiders".
Even later, when going to the banquet place, Huang Quan didn't mention this matter again, but talked about other things.
Mo Wunian's curiosity was not so heavy, since they didn't say it, he didn't bother to inquire.
In the banquet area, it was actually chosen in an apricot leaf forest, and it seems that the people here have a soft spot for apricot leaf trees.
However, this apricot leaf forest is just an ordinary tree, and there is no strangeness of the forest outside, but the trees are arranged upside down, the empty is just right, and it is just enough to provide people with shade, and even a few stone roads on the ground are paved neatly, looking at a different Yaxing.
Then I saw that someone had spread mats on the floor, set up a long table, and put food and wine on it.
"The two, since they are friends of Sanzhu, let's take a seat! Please let go of your belly and eat it, haha!" Huang Quan was more polite than Xiao Sanzhu, and only pulled Mo Wunian and Wu Mu into the seats.
In fact, as far as the eye can see, there are some vegetarian foods on the table, but if you have to study the degree of exquisite practice, I am afraid that some cooks in the human realm in the outside world will be out of reach!
Just like the simplest "artichoke pulling", it was stunned to be made into a crystal clear sense of sight......
Mo Wunian saluted him back, and then found a random place to sit down. As for Wu Mu, she didn't have so many curvatures, she sat down directly, and she didn't have the heart to eat.
"Brother Mo, Miss Wu, they are all vegetarians, but if you don't like to eat them, I'll take you to eat wild game another day!" Xiao Sanzhu said a few polite words to them, and also sat down in his seat.
Wu Mu naturally ate without heart and lungs, Mo Wunian ate slowly, but the things that went down with a few chopsticks were not as many as her one chopstick.
Of course, his mind was not on the places to eat in front of him, but still thinking about what Huang Quan had said.
"If you don't understand, don't think about it. Isn't that what you told me?" After getting along for a long time, Wu Mu naturally touched his mind seven or eight points thoroughly, and quietly passed a word to him with his spiritual sense.
What can be known is too much of a word, even dispensable, and hard reasoning can't reason anything.
Mo's words also woke up Mo Wunian, but he was too utilitarian, and he did reason about one thing with things that were not clues, and all he deduced was some conjecture, and conjecture would not be reality.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he also let go of his hands and feet to eat, although it was still slow, but the speed of consumption of vegetables under his chopsticks was several times faster than before!
The feast comes quickly, and naturally disperses quickly...... It will be over in an hour.
Huang Quan then arranged a place for Mo Wunian and Wu Mu to live.
Until it was getting late, Mo Wunian didn't ask about Xiao Sanzhu about the Demon Clan's ancestral land, after all, he didn't personally walk him on the mountain range of the Demon Clan's ancestral land, and it didn't really bring him to his destination.
But judging from the attitudes of Huang Quan and Hu Sheng, it is a great "taboo" to mention these things in person.
So it wasn't until the sky was dark and the half-moon moon was hanging high in the sky that he and Wu Mu went to find Xiao Sanzhu. Xiao Sanzhu also told them when the banquet was over, and he would wait for them in this apricot leaf forest.
"Come, you ......" and here he is.
didn't make too many detours, he directly continued the day's events: "The two old men said about me during the day, in fact, it's nothing, it's just me...... The blood left in the body is the same blood as the old man, but the body structure is that of the human race!".
"Can humans and demons have children?" Wu Mu listened to it, and only thought that he was a mixed-race outlier.
"Unlikely. After the combination of the human race and the demon race, all the structures and behaviors are more demon-oriented. It's impossible to tell the difference so clearly!" Mo Wunian shook his head after hearing this.
But what Xiao Sanzhu said is indeed shocking enough, and it's no wonder that the two old guys don't want to say more, because if this physique is known outside, there will really be some boring old guys who will do research on living people.
As far as Mo Wunian knows, there is a ** puppet sect that especially likes to find some strange physique and study some strange half-human, half-monster races......
"Brother Mo, what are you going to do in the ancestral land of the demon clan, I don't care. As I said, it doesn't matter to me whether I'm bringing you alive or dead. This sentence was carried out by Xiao Sanzhu again, and he continued: "Is that mountain? I'll take you to see it." ”。
After saying that, he turned into a streamer and flew towards the foot of the mountain, followed by Mo Wunian and Wu Mu.
But when he reached the bottom of this mountain, he stopped again and said, "Ban all spells and cultivation on this mountain, and ...... Unfortunately, this mountain is not going up now. ”。
He hadn't explained why, but Mo Wunian already knew what the reason was.
Because just when Xiao Sanzhu said this, Mo Wunian had already released his spiritual sense to investigate the situation on the mountain, and it was indeed just like what Xiao Sanzhu said, this mountain banned all spells and cultivation, and his spiritual sense was just about to spread up the foot of the mountain, when he was pulled by a strange force and disappeared without a trace!
And it can be seen with the naked eye that the mountain is snowing heavily, and the continuous foot of the mountain looks white. If it were these, it would be nothing, but Mo Wunian just glanced at this mountain a few times, and his eyes tingled, not to mention, his whole body became cold And the longer he stared at it, the more cold he would feel!
No longer looking at the mountain, he took his eyes back, but listening to the meaning of "not time" in Xiao Sanzhu's words, this snow should also stop.
"And when can this mountain go up?" Mo Wunian asked Xiao Sanzhu.
"Then we can only wait for the season on the mountain to change to the time of spring......"
"Spring, meaning you have to wait another three months?"
Wu Mu also took her eyes back, she just looked at the mountain for a breath, but her face was already like a cold air, and she lost her blood, but she didn't understand Xiao Sanzhu's words very well.
He then went on to explain that the mountain changes seasons every three hundred and thirty-three years, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but there is no danger except for spring, and the other three seasons are as dangerous as winter.
"I listened to those two old men say this
But I haven't seen what this mountain looks like in the spring! But if you count the days, it should be this year...... It's weird! Could it be that the old man told me that the time was not accurate?". Xiao Sanzhu said, with a little doubt on his face.
In fact, he originally planned to take Mo Wunian and Wu Mu up the mountain directly, but it was still winter in front of him, and he only thought that the two old men had told him that the time was wrong.
Because although the longevity of the demon clan here is also long, it will change a generation every four hundred years or so. The four seasons span more than 1,000 years and run through three generations, and it is inevitable that there will be discrepancies in the time of them.
"If you are not in a hurry, Brother Mo, you will stay here for a while. If there is a deviation, it will be about four or five years at most!" Xiao Sanzhu sighed that several generations had misremembered the time, but at the same time, he also said a few words of relief to Mo Wunian.
"I'm really not in a hurry. Mo Wunian said lightly, even if it is more than ten years, he can afford to wait.
A few people said that, it was simply a matter of leaving without stopping at all, but when leaving, Mo Wunian still looked back at the mountain, and then followed its foot until he saw the sky.
But it was only at this undoubted glance that he realized that the sky on this mountain was a little different from other places. If the sky around it is full of stars, but there is nothing clean in it! It is darker than the mouth of a gluttonous beast, as if it can swallow everything clean!
It's just that the more he knows this, the more curious he becomes, the more curious he becomes, some things in his heart that he knows but can't be curious about......
He remembered that he had seen a sentence on the stone carvings in the forbidden land of the Nine Realms Mountain - there was no sky in the world, but with the appearance of that clan, there was a heaven in the world......
After that, because the words on the stone inscription are so vague that they are completely unrecognizable.
At that time, including at any time before, Mo Wunian had never taken this sentence to heart, but what he saw in front of him, he thought of this sentence again.
There was no heaven before? This is ridiculous! But if that sentence is true according to the current situation, how did that day come about? And is that race a family of gods?
These questions are really puzzling, but what is already there can't give Mo Wunian an answer.
Ignoring the inexplicable chill, Mo Wunian stared at the mountain for a long time, until he saw Wu Mu calling him, and he pulled back his thoughts and left with her.
......
Mo Wunian and Wu Mu temporarily settled in this demon clan's village.
And after getting along, they also found that although these demons are nominally demon clans, they are no different from the human races outside in the way they raise chickens and guinea dogs, and the things they plant are no different from the human races outside, and even better in some places.
But Mo Wunian also found that although they raised poultry, they never touched carnivorous food. This explains why the feasts served to them are vegetarian.
He also asked Xiao Sanzhu about this, but he only shook his head, saying that he didn't know, he only knew that the two "old men" in his mouth could allow him to eat meat, but the rest were all forbidden.
"I've also taken the words of those two old men, but all of them are very tight!" Xiao Sanzhu said helplessly.
Mo Wunian didn't care about this matter anymore, but revealed this matter, and if he wanted to investigate it deeply, it was probably another meaningless trivial matter without clues.
Since they planned to settle down in this place, in addition to their daily practice, Mo Wunian and Wu Mu also found something to do.
For example, Mo Wunian asked Huang Quan for half an acre of barren land and planted it after ploughing.
It's just that in terms of form and style, he is as good as the rock sugar gourd back then......
Because after the wheat grows in the second year, the distance between the wheat stalks and the wheat stalks is almost the same, which makes people suspect that he planted them with a ruler.
But I have to say that the wheat grown in such a specification also grows exceptionally well, and even Wu Mu's little face was full of incredulity, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Have you planted before?"
He shook his head and said, "A long time ago, I thought about planting land and raising flowers with a person. I think about it before, so I'll plant it......."
made a big detour, but said something mysterious, Wu Mu listened with a somewhat arrogant and puzzled look: "Want to come up with it?"
It's one thing to think about things in the world, and it's another thing to do them...... How can thinking and doing the same thing?
She just thought he was playing tricks again.
But she was interested in what he said, and in the days that followed, she planted a plot of land in the hedged yard of the house where they lived, and prepared to plant something.
There are also all kinds of flower seeds in the village, such as 18 kinds of Guangshan tea, 21 kinds of moon season, and 7 kinds of peonies......
It was obviously the first time she had done such a thing, her little face was serious when she did it, and she did a good job in the solid soil loss book, but when it came to the season of flowers, there were only a few flowers that came out of the sparse pull-away.
And just those few flowers, they are all half-opened, like malnutrition.
"Why can't this girl grow it?" Looking at the situation in front of her, she was a little angry, because the more she looked at the other half, the more angry she became.
Because half of the land was opened at the beginning, and that land was planted by Mo Wunian. He's driving very well...... A true bloom!
