According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, a Taoist named "Hongyi Jushi" discovered a valley in the mountains at the junction of Dali and the Song Dynasty.

There is a natural peach forest in the valley, with not only the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, but also rare and exotic animals. In particular, there is a kind of golden curly three-eyed monkey, with a total of 154 individuals, making it the largest group in the valley.

Those monkeys are very understanding of human nature. When layman Hongyi first came in, he was warmly entertained by the "Monkey King".

Although he only had peaches to eat, layman Hongyi thought he had eaten "flat peaches".

The smallest ripe peach there weighs six pounds and is as tall as a cantaloupe. The biggest thing is the peach, which is bigger than a pumpkin and is produced by fourteen unusual peach trees in the valley.

Normally, the growth height of peach trees today is limited to more than ten meters, and there is still room to wrap around the tree with both hands. The lifespan of peach trees used for commercial purposes will not exceed forty years.

But the shortest of the fourteen peach trees is fifteen meters high, and two people need to surround the tree. The maximum height is more than thirty meters, and the tree must be surrounded by at least four people. This shape will definitely not grow within a hundred or two hundred years.

At first, layman Hongyi suspected that they were immortal tree bodies, but the result of the search was that they had very high spiritual energy, and even the tree elements were not formed.

It is said that the scene in the valley is like a fairyland, a Taoyuan fairyland in the earthly world, which makes Hongyi layman very fond of it. He also discovered that this place is very spiritual and is a holy place for cultivating immortals. Since then, he has lived and practiced in the valley.

During the days of practicing in the valley, layman Hongyi found that the arrangement of peach trees in the valley was very charming and grew naturally, which was a sign of the wonder of heaven's workmanship.

Viewed from a height, this valley is shaped like a "turtle".

The head faces due east, and the entrance to the valley is at the tail.

There is a huge stone shaped like a turtle's head on its head, which is extremely hard and makes the sound of gold and stone when struck.

I don’t know if it was born this way or if it was caused by some kind of divine power later on. There is an arc-shaped hole in the boulder, running from east to west, with the east being higher and the west being lower. The walls of the cave are smooth and rounded, the cause of which is difficult to discern, and the size is large enough for an adult rabbit to pass through.

The hole at the top of the round head on the east side is round, and the hole at the bottom of the center on the west side looks like an upright egg.

There is a spring on the steep mountain wall to the east. Just one foot below the spring, an oval rock about two meters long protrudes from the mountain wall. It is washed by the spring water all day long and is sunken into a basin shape in the middle.

This rock tilts slightly to the right, and the spring water overflows from the right, flowing down two feet below. On a rock that tilts slightly to the right protruding from the mountain wall, it has been washed into a stone basin over time.

There are three more stone basins like that, and the distance between them is one foot longer than the previous one.

The spring water falls into the high ground in front of the boulder through five stone basins and gathers into a pond.

The overflow of the pond coincides with the round mouth of the boulder, just like a giant turtle lying beside the pond drinking water. The spring water passes through the hole in the boulder and flows into a serpentine waterway that is either naturally formed or dug by a group of monkeys, and runs through the peach forest until it comes out of the valley.

The peach trees in the valley are arranged in a pattern of six horizontally and five vertically, with different shapes but corresponding front and back, mixed but not chaotic. The overall shape is like the texture on a turtle shell. It is really unbelievable that this is a masterpiece of nature.

But the fourteen unusual peach trees are not in this array. Two of them stand side by side. There are no other plants or animals within a radius of ten meters. One is tall and the other is short, like a door. Distributed on the turtle's neck, four legs, tail, and center of the turtle's back.

The neck, tail, and tree gates in the center are separated by streams, and the two peach trees in the center are as tall as each other. They are also the two tallest and largest trees in the valley, like pillars supporting the sky. Moreover, the two trees look like they are conjoined, and most of the intersecting branches grow together, which is a spectacle.

In addition, some ordinary peach trees are arranged in their own arrays and at the same time they are arranged in a line with ordinary peach trees in other arrays, connected one by one in the order of head, upper left foot, lower left foot, center, upper right foot, lower right foot, and tail, such as The leading line is average.

Layman Hongyi concluded that the valley is shaped like a turtle and the stream is like a snake. The combination of turtle and snake is called Xuanwu.

Xuanwu draws water to replenish its strength and strengthen its life. This formation should belong to the same category as the Xuanwu Demon Sealing Array, which can produce powerful spiritual energy to suppress and resist monsters.

When spiritual energy is strong, the roots will replenish the heart of the tree, allowing it to break through the norm.

The turtle's head is the entrance to the earth's energy, and it is also where the mountain spirits (mountain springs) gather. The amount of energy is extraordinary, so the two peach trees on the neck have grown unusually under the nourishment of the earth's energy.

The peach tree is a thing that gathers Yang, and the four points of Xunda, Kun, Dui and Qian on the turtle's feet are also places where spiritual energy is strong. In addition, every morning, dew will drip along the rocks and fall on the trees to irrigate them. Dew is also called the essence of heaven, and peach trees naturally grow abnormally.

The spiritual energy at these seven points can react with each other due to the formation effect, forming a huge spiritual energy cover that covers the entire valley, making the valley full of vitality.

Not only that, in addition to the normal flow of spiritual energy in the valley, there is also a "rotation" effect caused by the location of the peach trees and the linear arrangement of ordinary peach trees.

The spiritual energy flows from the head to the upper left foot, down to the lower left foot, then up to the center, then to the upper right foot, then down to the lower right foot, and finally to the tail, completing another round of spiritual energy flow.

In this way, the spiritual energy in the valley circulates one more time, which not only makes the spiritual energy in the valley stronger, but also increases the vitality. All creatures in the valley will at least double their lifespan.

Especially the center position, which is the intersection of positive flow and reversal, enjoys double the aura, and sometimes enjoys five times. So much so that the two peach trees in the center of the valley grew extremely tall and produced extremely large peaches.

As the saying goes, "it absorbs the essence of the earth and transforms it into the essence of the sky, and combines the essence of the heaven and the earth, which is called the fairy fruit."

Eating it from animals will increase their wisdom and longevity, while eating it from humans will prolong their lives, resist aging, and enhance their vitality. It is a supreme treasure for practitioners.

Layman Hongyi has been cultivating in the valley for a hundred years, and his appearance is much younger than when he entered the valley. But he didn't know it at all and thought he had lived there for ten years.

Then one day he wanted to go back to the outside world and visit old friends, and then he realized that time flew by.

He wanted to go back to the valley again, but he couldn't find the entrance to the valley even if he didn't want to travel all over the mountains. He was very upset about this.

But he did not give up. He used this skill to obtain a high position in the court and had a lot of power, just to find a "wonderland" for him.

And his special skill that won the emperor's favor was this "Returning to Yang Zhongji".

At first, he modeled a simple Huiyang Bureau based on the morphological principles of the valley and the way of coexistence between nature and human beings. The function is to prolong life, but the effect is not obvious.

Therefore, he worked hard to develop the Huiyang heavy game, which is to set up another Huiyang game based on the Huiyang game. The effect is very significant and can make people's vitality strong and lasting. Even if the emperor is in the middle of the situation and plays music every night, he can recover after taking an hour's rest without losing his essence.

but! This situation is contrary to nature and abnormal.

layman Hongyi did not expect that not long after the establishment of this bureau, his appearance was getting older and his vitality was weakening. Only then did he realize that this bureau was damaging to the Yin Yuan of the organizer.

Before his death, he destroyed the key information about the return to Yang Dynasty, leaving only a record, a drawing and a legend recorded by the palace to future generations.

Later, someone studied the method of Huiyang Bureau, but who would shorten his own lifespan in order to increase the lifespan of others?

This Huiyang game, especially the Huiyang heavy game, can only be played by God himself.

"That's even more strange..." Qin Xuan wondered, "Even if we are back to Yang Zhongju, how can the evil spirit be here and still dare to attack people?"

"So..." Jiang Jinjiu inserted his head between Qin Xuan and Qin Zhaoyun, thinking that he could squeeze in. Interjected, "Maybe this isn't the Huiyang Bureau you're talking about?"

"That's wrong!" I don't know when Master Xu had a compass in his hand. He said, "Look, we are not at the Zhiyang point, but seeing that the aura reaction here is so strong, is this the return to the Yang position? Maybe There’s no guarantee, but I’m sure it’s Huiyang Bureau.”

Qin Zhaoyun thought to himself, "So that's it. How did Jiang Jinjiu escape that night? It turned out that he couldn't stand the excessive yang energy, but..."

He glanced at Jiang Jinjiu and remembered that his face looked like a green-faced god that night. How could he look like an aphrodisiac? But I just feel like something is wrong, and I can’t put my finger on it.

"Okay, let's call it a day." Qin Xuan said with a smile, "Now that the aura is so strong, even if there are real goblins, we won't dare to come. We'd better wait until night."

Qin Zhaoyun and Master Xu had no objection. Qin Xuan asked Jiang Jinjiu to stay and guard the magical artifact. The three of them returned to the city to rest together, but they lied to Jiang Jinjiu and the villagers that they were in the city to make up for things.

It's no wonder that as long as Qin Xuan and Qin Zhaoyun are around, there will be men and women hanging around waiting for the opportunity to get close, and there will be no peace this afternoon.

rest? How can it be.

Jiang Jinjiu, who was left behind, had nothing to do, thinking about the map on the screen, and couldn't help but become very interested in Huiyang's game. I just want to see what this great formation looks like to prolong life, replenish essence and strengthen yang.

However, there was no leisure time along the way. Li Dazui followed Jiang Jinjiu like a follower. From time to time, I asked about the weasel spirit, and when I saw Jiang Jinjiu wandering around with a hand-drawn map, I became even more suspicious that something was going on, and kept asking questions.

Jiang Jinjiu thought Yang Ju was a good thing this time, so he didn't hide it and told the truth.

Li Dazui was amazed when he heard this. He was amazed that a few trees planted in the right place could increase life expectancy. There were so many novel things in the world.

Taking advantage of this, he said something else: "Hey! Don't tell me, brother Jiang, there are really a few special pomegranate trees in our village. The pomegranates on some of them are just like other people's trees, but they are delicious." Fuck, the most fairy-like one is the one in the open space to the left of Li's house in the middle of the village (to the north). The tree grows very tall and the pomegranates it bears are a whole circle bigger than others. Those delicious ones can kill people. Ah!" He said and pointed his hand.

"Huh? That's a pomegranate tree!?"

Jiang Jinjiu looked at the tree not far to the left of Li's house that was taller than the two-story building. He couldn't believe that it was a pomegranate tree. The tree is really taller than normal, and the trunk is very straight, and the branches and leaves are so dense that people think it is an old banyan tree.

He couldn't help but ask, "How old is this tree?"

"That tree... was planted by Mr. Li's grandfather when he was born. It is now... almost 110 years old... Oh! It turns out that Mr. Li has lived so long because of this pomegranate fruit! Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Li Dazui He smiled strangely at Jiang Jinjiu, "Brother, don't tell anyone else about this, otherwise this tree in the Li family will never be able to live in peace. People may break the branches before the fruit is ripe."

have to!

Jiang Jinjiu understood that Li Dazui wanted to eat alone, and he would definitely come to pick it when the fruit was harvested this year.

But what Li Dazui said was right. Everyone in the village knew that this tree was really not good.

One sentence is worse than one sentence less. Jiang Jinjiu said, "No problem. By the way, Brother Li, do you know when the trees in the picture were planted?" He pointed them out to Li Dazui one by one.

"What do you mean, these..." Li Dazui pointed to the black spot on the upper left and said, "This should have been planted when Wang Shunyi was born." He then pointed to the black spot due north and said, "This should be their father. It was planted when mom was born..."

"They were all planted at birth?" Jiang Jinjiu interjected and asked.

"That's right." Li Dazui said with a smile, "Our village has a custom since ancient times. If a baby is born during the day, the boy will be held by his father facing the sun, and the girl will be held by her father with her back to the sun. , walking in a circle around their house. If it is night, boys and girls will let their father carry them around in a circle. They have to bump while walking to make the child cry. When the child stops crying, plant a three-year-old tree there. Pomegranate saplings that grow every year. When the full moon comes, carve the child's birth date on the tree, water the tree with the first urine after noon, and it becomes the child's natal tree, blessing the child with long life and good health. There are also In the future, the meaning of pomegranates for boys will be successful, and the meaning of girls will be blessed with many children. Anyway, there are many sayings. In this life, we no longer believe in the old tricks. We just plant a tree for good luck. Besides, pomegranates are also delicious. , it’s not bad to eat it every year.”

"So...all the trees in the picture were planted by the villagers?"

Li Dazui nodded, and Jiang Jinjiu immediately sighed, there is nothing more coincidental in the world than this.

Just because of a custom, the Huiyang situation was arranged without any coincidence, benefiting the whole village. This is much smaller than the chance of winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.

What's more, the difficulty of giving birth to a child and planting only one tree increases exponentially. The probability is not only slim, it is simply an impossible task.
