Chapter Fifty-Seven: Stone Monument!
Cheng Ziming naturally didn't know about Gu Siniang's mental activity, he was looking down at a piece of spirit paper in his hand at this time, looking at the names written on it in a daze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoGu Siniang's trip is nothing more than to win over a few people in the house and form a temporary alliance to fight against Boss Sun and his gang. But no matter how Gu Siniang persuaded them, Cheng Ziming and the others had no interest in this alliance.
In the end, Gu Siniang had no choice but to give up, but before leaving, she left this alliance list, with the names of the spirit disciples who had joined the alliance. And she tried her best to invite Cheng Ziming and others to participate in the terrain exploration after an hour. It is said that Gu Xiaoqi inquired about a stone monument that recorded the history of Hanquan Village, which was halfway up the hill behind the village. The villagers regarded the stele as an ancestral heritage and built wooden pavilions and fences to protect it. And the wooden pavilion was built in a dangerous place, just overlooking the whole village.
An hour later, it was the assembly time set by the Gu family sisters and brothers. They made an appointment to go to the place of the stele and the wooden pavilion with all the spirit disciples, first, to understand the landform of the entire Cold Spring Village, and secondly, they also hoped that from the village history recorded on the stone stele, they could learn more about the situation of the Cold Spring eruption, and perhaps find information that would be helpful to the mission. The Gu family sisters specially instructed that the matter was learned from the villagers in private, and deliberately concealed it from Boss Sun and his group, and told the alliance not to leak the news.
Cheng Ziming looked at the few names sparsely written on the spirit paper, and sure enough, most of the spirit disciples were vigilant and not interested in this improvised alliance. It's just that the stone monument and wooden pavilion mentioned by the Gu family sisters and brothers made Cheng Ziming very curious, after all, this information may really help the task.
Lao Li Tou and Xiao Li Tou have already been moved by Gu Siniang's words, and promised to meet at the entrance of the village in an hour, and go to the stone monument in the back mountain to explore what is going on. Although Cheng Ziming was noncommittal on this matter on the surface, after some struggle now, he still decided to go with the Li family's grandson. Otherwise, if there is really any discovery, you cannot expect these disciples to be willing to share this information with them.
It seems that it is better to make more reliable friends. Cheng Ziming suddenly missed the Wen sisters.
An hour later, Cheng Ziming still came to the entrance of the village with the grandson of the Li family. Naturally, behind him was followed by Xin Yue, a god soul clone holding a wooden umbrella, and the native barbarian also followed Xin Yue as always. Since this barbarian saw that Xin Yue was not afraid of yin qi, he made a posture of following to the end. Cheng Ziming didn't drive this barbarian away, anyway, the situation is not clear now, and some loose alliances are not bad.
Sixteen spiritual disciples have gathered at the entrance of the village. In addition to the Gu family sisters and brothers who took the lead, the eldest son of the village chief's family who cowered behind Gu Siniang and acted as a guide, the most conspicuous thing was a gorgeously dressed, forty-year-old, and pot-bellied man. He was different from other spiritual disciples, introducing himself to others, claiming that he was born in a wealthy family, and that he had been an official in the secular world before cultivating immortals. This person's surname is Shen, and he insists that others call him Shen Yuanwai to be satisfied.
Cheng Ziming saw that this Shen Yuanwai always glanced at Gu Siniang with a smile, and helped Gu Xiaoqi to greet everyone in a hurry, and persuaded everyone to join the alliance proposed by the Gu family's sisters and brothers, so he knew that this person was a minister under the skirt who was accepted by Gu Siniang.
Soon the personnel gathered, and everyone headed towards the back mountain under the leadership of Gu Xiaoqi. Even if an immortal cultivator does not use spells, his foot strength is much faster than that of mortals, so half an hour later, Cheng Ziming has already arrived at the place of the wooden pavilion stele in the back mountain with all the spirit disciples.
Sure enough, as Gu Xiaoqi said, the villagers built a wooden fence outside the stone monument, and built a wooden pavilion in a wide field of vision, which was enough to overlook the entire Hanquan Village. Cheng Ziming was most interested in the stone tablet that introduced the history of Hanquan Village, but after carefully looking at the stone tablet, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
The stele is the size of a wall, and although the corners are weathered and worn out, the surface of the stele is still intact, which shows the hardness of its stone texture. It's just a huge stele, but there are not too many written records, just a map carved in detail. From the topography, it is not difficult to see that this map depicts the ancient Hanquan Village. However, the village in the picture is limited in size, with only a few houses at the foot of the mountain. The village is built in a wooded area, and there is no road leading to the outside world, only two small roads that zigzag through the forest, which are the only passage between the village and the outside world. The map is marked with a special mark for the woods surrounding the village, and there are several words engraved on the trees: "Extreme Yang Wood".
In addition to the villages and woods, the most prominent feature on the map is a large lake. Looking at the geographical location, the lake should be the cold lake located at the entrance of the village. On the edge of the cold lake in the picture, there is a line of small characters engraved: "There are 16 cold springs." It needs to be tightly fenced with polar yang wood. ā
"It turns out that there are sixteen springs in this cold spring. Cheng Ziming's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately thought of the wooden pavilion on the edge of the cold lake when he entered the village, and it turned out that it was where the cold spring was located.
Thinking that since entering the village, the location of the cold spring has finally been determined, Cheng Ziming couldn't help but shake his head again and again. It wasn't that he hadn't asked the village chief before, but the village chief replied very vaguely, only saying that it was not far from the village, but he didn't mention that this cold spring was originally at the entrance of the village, and there were as many as sixteen springs. This made Cheng Ziming a little suspicious: "Could it be that this village chief is deliberately concealing it?"
At this time, I heard Xiao Li Tou ask, "Grandpa, what is this Extreme Yang Wood?"
"Hey, you kid is very clever, and you know how to speak softly when you ask someone. Don't you usually call Lao Li Tou? Call grandpa a few more times, and grandpa will tell you. Lao Li Tou laughed, and said to his little grandson with eyebrows.
"And! Lao Li Tou loves to show off so much, if he knew that he had said it earlier, he would have talked so much nonsense. Unexpectedly, Xiao Li Tou pursed his lips and said such a thing with a glare.
"You!" Lao Li raised his hand and patted Sun Zai's head lightly, and said with a smile angrily: "It's still Sun Er who knows Grandpa's thoughts, and he guessed so quickly that Grandpa is also the first time I've heard of Jiyang Mu." But this kind of thing, as the name suggests, must be a kind of wood full of yang energy, what is difficult to guess. How could this stump your grandfather!"
Cheng Ziming saw the pair of grandchildren teasing each other, which was also very interesting. He was also a little curious about this pole yang wood, but according to the map of the village, this kind of tree once formed a forest around the village, so this wood should be relatively common here. It's a pity that there is not a single villager around, otherwise you can know the situation of this wood by asking the villagers a little bit.
Originally, the eldest son of the village chief's family was responsible for leading the way here, but this guy had teased Liniang before, and he had the terrifying experience of being thrown into the air by immortal arts, so he kept cowering in front of the immortal master. After bringing everyone to the stone tablet, the eldest prince said that he would not stay any longer, and insisted on going straight back to the village. Otherwise, if you ask him about the Extreme Yang Wood, you should be able to get an answer immediately.
