Chapter 1: The Birth of the Spirit Child
In a small, unknown part of central China, there is a low hill with shady trees, shrubs, exotic flowers and plants, and many birds and beasts of prey whose names are unknown. However, from a distance, the hill is not green, but has a strange blue color. This place belongs to the plain, it is rare to see the mountain, and the people nearby call this mound a mountain, named Qingyun Mountain.
There is a small town with a radius of about thirty miles at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, called Fengyun Town. Fengyun Town is located in the middle of nowhere, rarely visited, so although it has now entered the 21st century, with advanced technology and convenient transportation, this place is still isolated from the outside world, and has not been affected by the bad atmosphere of the world today, and the people are still simple.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Although Fengyun Town is small, there are some small villages around it, among which the nearest village to Qingyun Mountain is called Yunshui Village.
There is a brick-red archway at the entrance of Yunshui Village. The torii is supported by four cyan stone pillars as thick as an adult encircling each other, and the two stone pillars on the inside are carved with a couplet. The upper link is "the heart is like a white cloud", and the lower link is "the meaning is like flowing water". This couplet is written with a small seal, the font is floating like a floating cloud, pretentious like a swimming dragon, the backbone is open, refreshing and refreshing, and it comes from the hand of a famous calligrapher at a glance. The two stone pillars on the outside are carved with a dragon and a phoenix, the dragon on the left and the phoenix on the right. A pair of dragon and phoenix gods appear flexibly, giving people the illusion that they may break through the pillar at any time and fly to the nine skies. There is neither eaves and tiles nor pavilions and lofts on the archway. The whole archway reveals a folk simplicity, at a glance, you can't help but imagine the harmonious and happy life of the villagers of Yunshui Village.
A short walk through the torii is followed by two large willow trees. The willow tree is so thick that it takes four or five adult adults to hug it. It was summer, the green willows were weeping, and from time to time children wearing open crotch pants appeared among the branches of the willow trees. Between the two large willow trees there is a small earth temple, about a meter high. It is covered with tiles, and at first glance it is clear that it is newly replaced, and the villagers' respect for the land can be seen. The incense in the land temple is continuous all year round, and the offerings are always full, and often some children secretly take some, and the adults do not stop when they see it, but just stand aside and watch with a smile.
At this time, the front of the land temple was filled with incense smoke and offerings. Under the shade of the willow tree in front of the temple knelt a middle-aged man with a worried face. Behind him stood a doctor-like figure, crossing the medicine box that was necessary for a Chinese medicine practitioner.
"Brother Yun, you don't have to worry. I just checked my sister-in-law's pulse, and my sister-in-law is in good health, so there shouldn't be any problems. The person who spoke was named Chu Yun, and the man kneeling in front of him was Fa Xiao Yunqing, who had grown up with him since childhood. As soon as the words came out, Chu Yun also felt that such comfort was too obvious. Who's going to be happy when something like this happens?
Yun Qing kowtowed three times to the statue of the Earth Lord, then stood up, patted the dust on his knees, turned to look at Chu Yun and asked, "Brother Chu Xian, you and I grew up together since childhood. You tell me the truth, will your sister-in-law γγγγγγ β
Although Yun Qing's words were not finished, from Yun Qing's painful eyes, Chu Yun could also tell that he was worried about whether his wife's life was in danger.
Chu Yun forced a smile, "Although my sister-in-law has been pregnant for six years and nine months, her body has always been very healthy, and she will definitely not be in danger." I should actually congratulate my big brother. β
Yun Qing sighed, "What other happy events are there now?"
"Big brother must have heard the story of Nezha. Back then, Chen Tang guarded Li Jing's wife for three years and six months, and finally gave birth to the third prince of Nezha. Nezha assisted Jiang Ziya in exterminating Zhou, made miraculous achievements, and finally became a heavenly immortal. His father, Li Jing, was also named the King of Tota. This nephew of mine is even more powerful than Nezha, and he has been in the womb of his sister-in-law for six years and nine months, and he still has no intention of meeting you, a father. Maybe he will be a character like the third prince of Nezha in the future, and the eldest brother will definitely be able to rank in the immortal class at that time, which is really gratifying. β
After listening to Chu Yun's words, Yun Qing's heart was relieved. In the past few days, many villagers in the village have come to visit their pregnant wives at home, and I am afraid that they also think that this child will be extraordinary in the future. Thinking of this, Yun Qing's face, which had been gloomy for a few days, finally showed some signs of clearing. A few days ago, March 15 was Nuwa Niangniang's birthday, Yunqing specially went to the Nuwa Temple in the town to ask for a signature, but he didn't expect it to be a signature. The master who unsigned the sign said that he would be safe and everything would be safe in his house, and that his unborn child would definitely be a great man in the future. Before leaving, the head of Nuwa Temple also gave him a talisman, saying that he could protect the family house and send auspiciousness. Yun Qing originally wanted to give the amulet to his wife, so as to keep the adults and children safe. But his wife said that he was going to go up to the mountains to hunt and needed it even more.
Suddenly, Chu Yun screamed and woke up Yun Qing, who was deep in thought.
"Big brother, look. β
Yun Qing looked in the direction Chu Yun was pointing, and saw a red light descending from the sky from the south of the village. The red light changed color from time to time, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and finally it was a chaotic, unknown color. The pillar of light was surrounded by many animals that Yun Qing had never seen before when he was hunting in Qingyun Mountain. The fiery red phoenix, the crimson dragon, the lion with a pair of wings, the tiger striding in the void, and the crane neighingγγγγγγγ There are countless types, and there are countless quantities. Looking at the picture-like scene in front of him, Yun Qing was dumbfounded.
Chu Yun shook Yun Qing's arm and said, "Big brother, isn't that direction the direction of your house?"
Yun Qing, who woke up from his shock, only then did he find that his home was indeed in that direction. Yunqing is a hunter in Yunshui Village, and for the convenience of hunting, he settled his home in the south of the village closest to Qingyun Mountain. Chu Yun is the only doctor in the village, with superb medical skills, and he is very famous in the entire Fengyun Town, and his medical clinic is opened in the northernmost part of the village. Since Yun Qing's wife became pregnant, Chu Yun had a regular check-up for her. To his surprise, the inspection lasted for six years.
Could it be that the child is about to be born. Thinking of this, Yun Qing spread his feet and ran in the direction of the pillar of light.
Along the way, Yunqing found that many villagers were rapidly gathering in the direction of their homes, that is, the pillars of light. The closer you get to the pillar of light, the more people there are. Yunshui Village is very small, only a few dozen households, so everyone is very familiar with it. The villagers saw Yun Qing running wildly and shouted loudly: "Brother Yun, your baby is really blessed, so many colorful monsters escort him. Yun Qing couldn't answer, and ran all the way to the door of his house.
At this time, the door of Yunqing's house was already full of villagers. Seeing that Yunqing was coming, the villagers quickly made a way for Yunqing to enter, and someone told him that the midwife had already entered.
The crowd was full of congratulatory cheers. "Brother Yun, congratulations. "It seems that I am even happier than having a child in my own family.
Yunqing's house is made of wood from Qingyun Mountain, and the wooden structure looks antique and full of charm. Sure enough, there was a pillar of light on top of the wooden house, and the screams and roars of the divine beasts were incessant. The villagers waited anxiously like Yunqing while watching the vision in the sky. If this kind of vision appeared in the outside world, it would definitely scare people half to death, where would anyone dare to stare at it like this. The villagers of Yunshui Village are all pure-hearted people, and they have never done anything bad and do not feel anything.
Yun Qing was anxious, and felt that there was a qi in his body colliding. If you don't go into the house to see it again, I'm afraid that this breath will break out of your body. He took a few sharp steps, stepping on the wooden steps. Due to the excessive force, the steps were broken. Fortunately, the reaction was fast, otherwise I would have to hit the wooden door.
The pillar of light in the air suddenly disappeared, and the sound of a child crying could be heard from inside the wooden house. The villagers and Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally born." β
"Yunqing, come in. From inside the house, the voice of the midwife was pleasantly surprised.
Yun Qing pushed open the wooden door and saw that there was chaos inside, and he couldn't see anything. But Yun Qing still felt that this chaos was gathering towards his wife who was lying on the bed, and it should be his child to be exact. Gradually, everything inside the wooden house became clear. Longbows and arrow belts hung on the walls, a few deerskins, axes and daggers of equally rough workmanship resting on a table of rough workmanship. On the other side of the table are placed daily necessities, pots and pans, and so on.
The happiest thing is the baby in the arms of the midwife. Yun Qing walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to take the baby handed over by the midwife, and was overjoyed, and cried with joy. Peach-like little face, chubby. Small nose, small eyebrows, small earsγγγγγγ These made Yun Qing, who was a father for the first time, very happy. The sudden appearance of the child made him happy with a hint of surprise, and the most surprising thing for Yun Qing was that the baby was carrying something like a bell in his hand, which was extremely white. The bell rings with the wave of the baby's little tender hand, which is heartwarming. Yun Qing felt as if his whole body was flying.
The wife lying on the bed made a faint voice, "Brother Qing, bring the child over and let me see." β
Yun Qing only cared about his own happiness, and forgot his wife who had just given birth for a while, and secretly felt ashamed. Hurriedly handed the child to his wife and asked, "Sister Fu, you see how much the child looks like you." β
Yunqing's wife's name is Li Fu, the daughter of Li Blacksmith in the village, she is naturally docile, and she has studied for several years, and she is even more knowledgeable, with the style of a good wife and mother, and the people in the village like her very much.
Li Fu looked at the child and smiled, and there was a hint of blush on her pale face. "Where is this like me, I think I miss Brother Qing more. β
The midwife saw the two flirting and scolding, and walked away very interestingly.
The two talked something private, and Yun Qing suddenly remembered that the villagers were still waiting outside. After talking to Li Fu, he walked out of the wooden house with the child in his arms and came to the front of the villagers.
The villagers were all happy for Yun Qing, and someone said: "Brother Yun, my sister-in-law has been pregnant for nearly seven years, and today I finally gave birth to a child." You've got to treat us to a drink. The others followed suit.
Yun Qing held the child in one hand and touched the back of his head with the other, and said, "This is nature, this is nature." β
Chu Yun, who was standing on the side, looked at the divine beasts in the sky that had not yet dispersed, and then proposed, "We in Yunshui Village haven't been so happy for a long time. Today, so many divine beasts have come to protect my eldest brother Yunqing's son, we should really have a good drink. If we only eat Brother Yun's family, I'm afraid he doesn't have so much meat and food, why don't we each take some food from home and go to Brother Yun's house to eat and drink together, how about it?"
The villagers responded to the proposal and went home to bring meat and grain that they could eat at home, as well as some fresh fruit that had just been picked from the trees. Some people also brought firewood and stoves. By the time the food and drinks were ready, it was already dark. Everyone sat down one after another, while looking at the colorful and glorious beasts in the sky, they conveyed happiness.
