Chapter 54: A Chance Encounter with the Spiritual Spring
Yuan Mu frowned and asked curiously, "What's the secret of this spring water?"
The shepherd boy scratched his head and smiled: "This is a god who once passed by here, according to my father, my grandfather once saw this fairy with his own eyes when he was young, this fairy said that this spring water, mortals drink it will help prolong life, if the immortal cultivator drinks it, it will help to cultivate what cultivation, anyway, I don't understand...... I don't believe you've tasted it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" said that, the water hyacinth was brought to Yuan Mu's mouth again.
Yuan Mu took the water hyacinth, drank it in a big gulp, drank half of the water in the water hyacinth, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and savored the taste of the water. This spring water is refreshing and sweet in the mouth, giving people a feeling of being cool and refreshing after entering the stomach, and this spring water seems to contain a trace of spiritual power fluctuations, which of course can only be felt by cultivators after drinking. Yuan Mu was even more curious at the moment, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said to the shepherd boy: "Little brother, where is this spring? You show me the way, I'll take a look." ”
The shepherd boy laughed and said, "This spring is not far away, I will take you to see it." So he jumped on his feet and sang a mountain song and ran down the hillside.
Yuan Mu followed closely, and after a short time, Yuan Mu heard the sound of rushing water. When I got closer, I saw a clear spring gushing out from the cracks in the rocks, merging into a stream, flowing over the rocks and rocks, rushing forward happily......
The clear spring water flows slowly, slowly, to the fertile land, to the dense mountain forest, and to the hearts of the people. The water of the spring is crystal clear, like a mirror, inlaid in a multitude of white jade. All year round, around the clock. Yuan Mu stood still and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly realized the greatness of nature, so that you dare not look at it with your eyes again, it is always so pure, always so lively, always so distinct, never tired, never retreat, only nature has such power. There are also small springs on the edge of this pool, some of them are like big fish spitting water, and a string of blisters come up very briskly; some are like a string of pearls, and they go down crookedly in the middle of the way, really like a string of pearls lying obliquely in the water; some of them only come up with a blister in half a day, which is big and flat, and slowly, with a posture, shakes up, and breaks; and some of the strings of small broken beads are squeezed up together, like a neatly gathered bead flower...... It's more flavorful than that big spring.
At this time, only listen to "Ding Ding Dong Dong", follow the sound and look closely, there is a spring water on the mountain, gushing out from the spring mouth, down the slope, forming a stream, passing through the garden, flowing down the mountain, stirring up waves along the way, white and white, looking at the white scarf of the mountain girl from afar. Ascending from the mountain stone, it is another view. Here Wanquan rings the hole, the epsom jade sprays beads, it is for the water to win, it can really be described as "pine wind and water rhyme, the shadow of the pond is light", "a land and clear water are near the hanging bank, several places are thousands of peaks", "the waterfall is flying spring peak betting, strong as a wisp of silk floating", the waterfall is upside down, the water potential is spectacular. This spring is composed of three large springs side by side, three springs gushing out from the bottom of the pond, jumping more than half a foot above the surface of the water, clear spring water with tears, green aquatic plants fluttering with the flowing water. The surrounding scenery is reflected in the spring water, and the clear reflection is also rippling with the water. The long carp sometimes swarm, sometimes scatter, sometimes burrows into the bottom, sometimes jumps out of the water......
The slopes of the valley are covered with dense oak groves, the spring is surrounded by short, velvety green meadows, and the sun's rays almost never reach its cool, silvery waters. Looking ahead, the mist rising from the spring water supports the pavilions and arch bridges, swaying slowly, like a wonder of the sea market.
What a magnificent scenery, Yuan Mu almost forgot the hatred in his heart when he saw it.
Yuan Mu turned his head and asked the shepherd boy again, "Little brother, what is the name of this place, and what is the name of this spring?"
The shepherd boy said, "This place is called Huaiyuan Mountain, and the old people call this spring "Spiritual Spring"! How about it, am I right? Isn't this spring very good?" The shepherd boy's ruddy little face flashed with an innocent smile.
Yuan Mu bowed down and said: "Thank you, little brother, Yuan Mou's trip was in a hurry, and he didn't bring anything valuable, so let's do it! I have a spiritual stone here, you can put this stone in the water tank after you go back, this spiritual stone not only has the effect of driving away evil and preventing diseases, but you can also drink the spiritual water that is warm in winter and cool in summer, which can be regarded as Yuan's heart." With that, he took out a white spirit stone from his waist bag and handed it to the shepherd boy.
The shepherd boy took the spirit stone in disbelief, his face curious and puzzled. But he still smiled happily: "Thank you uncle for the gift, I will do what you say when I go back." Well, if you don't dislike going home with me, let my father and mother see you, my father is very hospitable, and he is a well-known friend from near and far. As he spoke, the shepherd boy pulled Yuan Mu's shirt and walked down the mountain......
Yuan Mu didn't want to disturb the shepherd boy and his family, but he thought that he had just arrived here at the moment, and he didn't even have a place to live. There was really no way, so I had to go to his home with the shepherd boy.
The shepherd boy's home is in a small village in the middle of a mountain col, where many families live. These were woodcutters, fishermen, coachmen, blacksmiths, captains, etc...... They are all poor people. In the village, the naughty children are playing and chasing, the chickens, ducks and geese are in groups, only the guard dogs of each family are barking non-stop, and the smoke is curling, which is peaceful......
Yuan Mu was brought into a thatched hut that was very different, there was no decent furniture in the house, and even the tables, chairs and benches were broken and incomplete, but the house was clean and orderly.
The shepherd boy ran into the kitchen, put his arms around a middle-aged woman who was cooking, and shouted, "Mother, I'm back......"
The woman's eyes were full of love, and she said, "Lu'er, you're back! Why is it so early today? Go and wash your hands, and when your father comes back, we'll have dinner." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door, the man had a beard on his face, a strong body, and a hard iron bow behind him, and his voice was like a bell. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Lady, Lu'er, I'm back, what did Daddy bring back to you today?"
The mother and son looked at each other and saw a middle-aged man carrying a fat hare in each hand.
Luel shouted happily, "It's a hare, it's good, it's good, it's good, we have meat to eat tonight......"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Look at you, let your mother burn the rabbit first, and then Dad will teach you a few tricks of the family heirloom hunting fork, and the wine will be scalded in a while, and I will take a good sip." ”
Lu'er smiled and nodded, and then said, "Dad, today I saved a person in the mountains and brought him back home......
