Introduction: Birth

In the realm of Xuan Xuan, the fertile soil of Shenzhou in the north, the dark clouds are dense, the thunder rumbles, the sky suddenly cracks a huge hole, a dazzling ball of the sun flies out of the hole, and falls heavily in a deep mountain and evil forest that is inaccessible to birds and animals, causing a loud noise, a day later, the dust is gone, but there is a black giant mountain three hundred zhang high on the ground, shaped like a coiling dragon.

The downpour followed for two months, and when the torrential rain stopped, wisps of black light began to fly out of the mountain peaks, and the light filaments slowly condensed into a fist-sized black ball of light in the air, flickering and flying westward.

A year and three months later, in an inconspicuous grass hut, a loud baby cry sounded.

Body:

Five hundred miles south of Longyang City, lies the majestic Taiyue Mountain Range.

The continuous mountains facing the east and west, thousands of miles, the peaks stand in a forest, the strange stones are clustered, there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the deep ditch dense forest, the broken stream and the remnant cliff, and there are also mountain spirits, tree monsters, fairies, foxes and demons in the legend.

In the depths of the Taiyue Mountain Range, there is a mountain peak about 1,000 zhang high, the mountain is steep, the main peak is like a woman holding a baby in her arms, the local people vividly call it "Zimu Mountain", in order to pray for good luck, good men and women have built "Niangniang Temple" at the top of the peak, often there are couples who can not have children or sick villagers go to the temple to seek good fortune, and the incense is quite prosperous.

With Zimu Peak as the center, within a radius of 200 miles, there are more than a dozen peaks of different heights of large and small, the high ones are five or six hundred zhang, and the short ones are more than 100 zhang. Dozens of deep streams and dense forests surround the mountains.

Springs and waterfalls in the mountain streams, hundreds of years old pines and cypresses can be seen everywhere, elm, tung, mulberry, locust and other miscellaneous trees, grow lush. Hares and pheasants leap and jump in the dense forest, and poisonous insects and beasts occasionally appear. Of course, there are also many herbs in the mountain, including Poria cocos, ginseng, blood reishi and other precious herbs.

More than 30 miles from the ion mother peak, there is a small town with a population of thousands and the town name is Wan'an.

At noon on the third day of the third month of the third month of the year of Bingchen, in the east of the town, in an inconspicuous small grass house, there was a loud baby cry, accompanied by the baby's cry, the originally clear sky instantly gave birth to many dark clouds, a cluster of thick black clouds in the breeze blowing, transformed into various forms, there are lions, there are giant tigers, there are wolves, and even dragons, under the background of a little white clouds, vivid, unpredictable. Immediately after, rolling thunder rang out.

Clusters of dark clouds began to merge and separate from each other in the lightning and thunder, as if thousands of fierce beasts were fighting in the air, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of ten thousand beasts roaring and gold and iron resonating faintly came from the dark clouds.

It was noon, and the whole town was startled by the vision in the sky, put down their rice bowls, and rushed to the streets, pointing and watching. In addition to the novelty, it is amazing. Especially the children, one by one, they were full of interest, pointing to the dark clouds of different shapes in the sky, jumping to their feet and applauding. The old and serious people were secretly worried that the season had just entered March, how could there be a earth-shaking thunder like midsummer, and secretly guessed what the heavenly omen meant.

Half an hour later, the torrential rain poured down.

In a long shed not far from the small grass house, more than a dozen men, women and children gathered, and a man in gray was smiling and smiling to fill everyone with tea and snacks. The pouring rain outside did not affect the man's mood in the slightest.

"Second brother, you are really lucky, I didn't expect the second sister-in-law to add a big fat boy to you in the first child, now you should be satisfied, right? A chubby woman said to the man while eating a snack.

The man was respectfully adding fragrant tea to an old man with white hair, and when he heard this, he turned around and said to the fat woman: "Thank you brother and sister for often accompanying your second sister-in-law to climb the mountain and suffer crimes, and when this kid grows up, I must make sure that he does his filial piety in front of you." ”

As if in response to the man's words, the baby in the room let out a clear cry, which could still be heard far away in the sound of the rainstorm.

Opposite the old man, a young woman smiled and said, "Second brother, just by this cry, the child will definitely be different when he grows up, you and the second sister-in-law are waiting to enjoy the blessings!" The man grinned innocently, but did not speak.

Next to the old man stood a six- or seven-year-old girl, chewing a snack in her mouth, and said vaguely: "I don't like him to cry, it's noisy!"

The old man glared at the girl, stroked his long beard, shook his head and said, "What does the little girl know? It's good to be able to cry! Life is hard, cry a lot when you are young, drive away the pain little by little, and when you grow up, the road will be smooth!"

The girl flattened her mouth and grimaced, looking unconvinced, but her little hand quietly reached for the snack on the plate in front of the old man.

In the thatched hut, the frail woman lying quietly on the bed looked at the baby child who had stopped crying, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. The child's pink and tender face, his mouth is spitting bubbles one by one, and in the middle of his forehead, a faint cyan mark is like a small earthworm.

The woman's name is Lan Gu, and the man outside is named Ye Cheng, a medicine farmer who lives by collecting medicine in the mountains. The couple have been married for 17 years, but they have never had children. Ye Cheng's parents are looking forward to hugging their grandson every day, but it is difficult to do so, and after a long time, there are naturally a lot of complaints, and the neighbors are even more gossip openly and secretly.

The husband and wife, seeking medical advice everywhere, taking countless herbs, asking for a lot of incense, but there has been no effect, for 17 years, the couple used up all the income earned from collecting medicine, until Ye Cheng's parents passed away, and they did not see their grandson born.

Lan Gu, who couldn't stand the ridicule of her neighbors, simply accompanied her husband to the mountains to collect medicine, wanting to make more money, but she didn't expect a heavy rainstorm to trap the couple in the cave for more than a month, eat up all the dry food, and rely on wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, but when they returned home, they found that they were unexpectedly pregnant.

The two were naturally overjoyed, and Ye Cheng even sold a century-old ginseng that he had been cherishing for many years, and was usually reluctant to take it out, and concentrated on serving his wife at home.

I don't know if Lan Gu is weak, or if she takes too much medicinal decoction to protect the fetus and calm the nerves, this pregnancy is thirteen months, and the baby in the womb just doesn't want to be born. The couple felt that the baby in the womb was unharmed, although they were anxious and uneasy, but they did not dare to leak the news of this great anomaly, for fear of causing more trouble and discussions, and secretly spent five taels of silver to ask the doctor to keep it a secret.

Since Aunt Lan is pregnant, it is the same doctor who diagnoses and treats her, seeing that Aunt Lan has been pregnant for so long, even the doctor is secretly surprised, after several careful examinations, it is found that the baby in Aunt Langu's belly is indeed living well, for the sake of the silver two, I don't want to make more trouble, let alone cause trouble in vain, so that my reputation will be damaged, so I really cover it up.

This secret, except for Ye Cheng's two brothers, no one else knows.

Fortunately, this baby has finally had enough of playing in his mother's womb today and was born into the world smoothly. The couple's secretly hanging hearts were relieved.

Two days later, the couple frowned again, and the weak Lan Gu took several doses of lactation-boosting decoction, but there was still not a drop of milk, but the baby was crying from hunger. Perhaps it is because of the long stay in the mother's womb, the baby is born much thicker than other babies, and the cry is loud, especially in the middle of the night, which can be heard across several streets, which makes people sleepless at night.

Seeing that the rice soup could not satisfy the newborn child, Ye Cheng had no choice but to ask a neighbor's brother and sister who was nursing the child to help. Who knew that his child sucked the milk endlessly, until the woman's two swollen rooms sucked up all the milk, still couldn't eat, and when sucking, a liliang that was very different from other babies made the nurse who came to help panic for a while, as if even the essence and blood in the body were about to be sucked away.

For three days in a row, Ye Cheng successively invited three women who were breastfeeding, and after some feeding, all three of them shook their heads with a wry smile and left, never wanting to feed the child again.

In desperation, Ye Cheng had to take out all the remaining silver taels and ask other women for milk. What he did not expect was that the amount of food he had for his children was far greater than that of other infants, and that the town was too small, less than 10,000 people, and that almost all the lactating women in the town were only able to survive half of hunger.

In less than a month, Ye Cheng no longer had a single cent of silver on his body. Babies and children can't eat enough every day, so they have to cry loudly to vent their dissatisfaction. More than a dozen streets, dozens of households, spend day and night in the loud crying of babies and children, and even the cats and dogs in the street run away when they hear the cry.

Finally, the couple has a good personality on weekdays and gets along well with their neighbors, although everyone is extremely dissatisfied, it is not easy to say anything. Lan Gu was weak, and although she finally had some milk, she was far from being fed by the child.

Seeing that the surplus food at home was less than half a month to eat, Ye Cheng had no choice but to ask the two brothers to accompany him to the cliff to collect some blood Ganoderma lucidum to supplement the family.

Anyone who collects medicine knows that Blood Lingzhi is only born on steep cliffs that are difficult for humans and beasts to climb. When Ye Cheng was collecting medicine before, he found a few strains of blood lingzhi that had been aged and secretly made a mark. Although it is not easy to pick, it is currently the only way to get money and food as quickly as possible.

The three brothers took the hemp rope and came to the depths of the mountain, Ye Cheng tied a rope around his waist, carefully climbed down from the cliff, and found the stone crevices where the blood lingzhi grows, but unexpectedly found that not only the blood lingzhi grew strong, but the stone crevices were deeper, and there were more than a dozen blood lingzhi with a longer age.

Ye Cheng, who was overjoyed, carefully picked a few blood lingzhi around him, received them in his pocket, pulled the rope, and went to the depths of the stone crevice.

By the time the two brothers found Ye Cheng from under the cliff, Ye Cheng was already a dead corpse. The two grieving brothers had to make a stretcher, carry Ye Cheng, and return home.

According to the local customs of Wan'an Town, after the death of an adult man, he needs to be buried in the ancestral cemetery, choose a good tomb, ram out the tomb, and bury it deep underground.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Cheng was buried, the disaster happened again, and the tomb suddenly collapsed in advance, burying all the six middle-aged men who were placing coffins in the tomb.

In the north, the loess is hard, and this kind of tomb collapse event is rare in the world.

Wan'an Town is finally no longer safe, and the town has not encountered such a situation in countless years. Linked to the amazing celestial phenomenon more than a month ago, rumors suddenly spread, and the spearhead was instantly pointed at the little boy who cried day and night.
