Years later, at the edge of the northern border from Xishan, the climate was cold and humid, light rain had fallen continuously for several days, and the roads were muddy and difficult to travel.
Fortunately, Mo Guyuan himself had prepared for a rainy day and knew the hardships of this long journey, so he had put a lot of supplies close at hand a long time ago, including a change of clothes and boots. In addition to his own In addition to the others, he also specially prepared three others along the way.
Nowadays, it happens to be useful. However, after trekking through mountains and rivers for several days, a few people are tired from the journey. Their feet are deeply sunk in the mud of the ancient roads in the mountains. They are complaining endlessly, and they don't know what kind of suffering they have suffered.
During this period, Yu Qinggong once suggested that a few people just fly across this difficult road in the wind, but as soon as the words came out, Mo Guyuan shook his head and stopped him, because he could tell from the landforms of the Western Mountains that this place was in the northwest. The junction area between the two sides, the mountain top that everyone has been passing through in the past few days is the boundary of Shijiang Mountain.
At that time, Yu Qingg was puzzled. There were countless mountains that several people had walked along the way, and many of them could be jumped directly. Why couldn't they just jump over the Shijiang Mountain?
Mo Guyuan had no choice but to patiently explain to them that although Shijiang Mountain was an unremarkable mountain passing through Xishan Mountain, the reason why a few people were asked to cross it on foot was because there was a river at the top of Shijiang Mountain. Originating on it, the river spirals up and down, all the way down the mountain, and then passes through the mountains and jungles, and finally merges into Yushui, a large river flowing in the north. The river originating from Shijia Mountain is the irrigation water.
The current destination of these people is to climb Shijiang Mountain and head to the source of the irrigation water.
Walking halfway up the mountain, Yu Qinggong straightened her back. It was such a cold day that she didn't expect to sweat a little while walking. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, looked at it long and murmured, "This stone... How come the trees on Crisp Mountain are so beautiful, even the grass on the ground grows in three colors."
At this moment, Luokui bent down and picked a handful from the ground, put it in front of her mouth and nose, sniffed it gently, and said with a smile, "In addition to being beautiful, it also smells very good."
Yu Nie slowly came closer and said nervously, "Be careful of the poison."
Luokui was stunned, and hurriedly threw away the three-color flowers and plants in her hands, and kept fanning her hands back and forth, feeling very scared.
Mo Guyuan looked back at the people and said with a smile, "The flowers and plants growing on this mountain are called strips of grass. Their shape is somewhat similar to leeks. They have white flowers and black fruits. The book records that if you eat this Planting grass is quite effective in treating scabies, and there are no toxins or poisonous gases."
Luokui suddenly realized, then turned his head and rolled his eyes at Yu Nie, blaming him for letting him waste a good seedling in vain.
Yu Nie shrugged and asked Mo Guyuan, "What about this tree? What's its origin? It's different from what we see in other places in the north."
"Shijian Mountain is sixty miles northwest. The trees on the mountain are all palm trees and nan trees. These two trees are also quite rare treasures. The so-called golden nanmu comes from this nan tree. , and in addition to the grass growing on the ground, there is also a kind of jade called Xunxu on the southern slope of Shijiang Mountain, which is extremely rare, while the northern slope is rich in mineral copper. Because of this kind of material, flooding occurs The sand and soil at the bottom of the water have turned red. We can take a look at the details when we reach the top of the mountain later." Mo Guyuan explained to several people truthfully.
"Then you previously dissuaded us from climbing over this rocky mountain, and now you are here because of the minerals contained in the water?" Yu Qinggong asked curiously.
Mo Guyuan said as he walked, "Although the mountain is rich in copper minerals, once the human body absorbs too much, it will do more harm than good. Naturally, it is best to go as far as possible. My idea is to go to the source of the irrigation. How can you and I do it?" People can take a dip in the water, not only to wash away the dust of the past few days, but also to absorb the copper minerals in the water to strengthen their own needs. As for you, Fish Girl, there is another thing that needs your attention."
Yu Qingxing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Isn't it just walking along the river? I have walked this way so many times, so I will naturally be careful."
Mo Guyuan stopped for a moment, turned around and said to Yu Qinggong, "It's just that this time walking across the river is very different from the past."
Yu Qingg was confused and urged, "Speak clearly quickly, Mojijiji."
Mo Guyuan's eyes passed over Yu Qinggong's position, and then
Looking down from the mountain, he stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, and said slowly, "May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. There is the only village within a radius of 500 miles from the west mountain to the north, Xinghua Village. "
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked back. However, under the dense mountain woods, except for the dense drizzle and the leaves swaying in the wind, it was difficult to see anything in the distance.
"Xinghua Village is located in a remote place, surrounded by mountains. To the north is Shijiang Mountain, to the east is Tuozi Mountain, to the west is Yingshan Mountain, and to the south is Luojia Mountain. Four high mountains stand majestically, solidifying the path out of Xinghua Village. It is tightly sealed and isolated from the outside world, thus making it known to outsiders. I also saw this in ancient books, so I just paid attention to it." Mo Guyuan said.
"Is there anything strange about this? Why do you say that this trip to the river is so different from the past?" Yu Qinggong asked.
Mo Guyuan said hello, gesturing for a few people to walk and chat. The light rain was falling now, which actually added to the hazy feeling of the mountains and forests in the rain.
"Xinghua Village has been in existence for more than thousands of years since it was recorded in books by the ancients. Water flows to the Shijia Mountain. The mountains are winding and winding, and finally flows into Yushui in the north. Xinghua Village is a square The main source of livelihood for villages located hundreds of miles away is irrigation, so the local people can live and work in peace and contentment and have been living here. So I think if we can go down the river from irrigation, we will be able to do this for thousands of years. For Xinghua Village, will it be a blessing, or can we use the river to feed Xinghua Village a piece of water luck?"
"Return the energy of water transport? Do you want me to give some of the water transport absorbed by the rivers I passed through Xishan earlier to Xinghua Village?" Yu Qinggong asked.
Mo Guyuan nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, since Xinghua Village is a village that has existed for thousands of years, don't you find it strange that the mountains around it stand like a basin in the middle and it has become a paradise. With this long history, we I always feel like there should be something here to care for me.”
On the side, Yu Nie said, "According to what you said, do you think that Xinghua Village is favored by the gods, so it has been spread throughout the ages? Even if you stick to one side, you are still blessed by nature?"
"Exactly, just think about it, the four mountains surrounding Xinghua Village, except for the birthplace of irrigation in front of you, the other three mountains are filled with immortal cultivators on the mountains. Xinghua Village is right under their noses. Could it be that there is no such thing? Is it abnormal?"
"The people on the mountain don't care about the affairs of the people below. You are making a fuss." Yu Qinggong said noncommittally.
"Since ancient times, the area where we live has been surrounded by mountains and rivers. We rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. This is the case in Xinghua Village, and the same is true for the sects on the three mountains. According to records, since the birth of Xinghua Village , even earlier than these three sects. In this way, you should feel that it is a bit unusual. Moreover, when I looked at the situation before, I also vaguely caught a faint aura, but I couldn't see it. What exactly is it?" At this point, Mo Guyuan couldn't help but nodded and lowered his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something strange.
"Why can't I see that there are clouds and mist under the mountain, the sound of rain is heavy, and there is nothing." Yu Nie said to herself.
Luokui patted Yu Nie's shoulder and said teasingly, "How can you compare with Mo Guyuan? Don't forget that it was someone else's idea to go to Shiwan Mountain some time ago. Otherwise, how would you have met the rainbow beast in the mountain? Mo Guyuan Gu Yuan has a unique vision, so he can naturally see some differences."
Yu Nie shrugged indifferently and said, "I didn't discover the Rainbow Beast Lobster in advance. Otherwise, how could it have been caught first by that cotton cloud? Now that I think about it, I'm still a little bit annoyed. That Lobster was hidden in the clouds." , and he also knows some tricks and knows how to set up illusions. I almost got fooled by it when I rushed into the cloud earlier, but fortunately, I used my feather fan to scrape away the confusion, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to find its shadow for a while.”
Mian Mian Yun, who was huddled in Yu Qinggong's sleeves, just wanted to come out and stretch when he heard Yu Nie withdrawing to the topic of worms. At that moment, he didn't dare to say anything, so he shrank back and continued his Spring and Autumn Dream. .
Dumpling was sitting on Mo Guyuan's neck, and he suddenly leaned back. If Mo Guyuan hadn't reacted in time, the two of them almost fell to the ground because they lost their balance.
"I thought of it." Mo Gu
Yuan exclaimed, startling several people.
Dumpling Aba Aba called out twice, indicating that Mo Guyuan had something to say. He was so surprised that he almost peed himself.
Several people looked up at Mo Guyuan, but Mo Guyuan exclaimed when he came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head in deep thought, leaving everyone looking confused and at a loss.
After a while, Mo Guyuan said solemnly, "After what Yu Nie said before, I remembered why I always felt like Xinghua Village was covered with a layer of gauze. I couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or a formation, but I What is certain is that Xinghua Village, which has been passed down for thousands of years, must have been favored by the ancestors, so it was able to spread its branches here and survive for thousands of years. It even later attracted Luojia Mountain, Tuozi Mountain and Yingshan Mountain. These three mountains established the sect here.”
An idea flashed in Yu Qingqing's mind, and he said, "You want me to take this opportunity to bring water transportation to Xinghua Village, so that I can accumulate merit while walking on the river!"
Mo Guyuan grinned and said, "You're smart, but you still remember what Ling Jiuquan told us in the wilderness. Doing good deeds along the way is also a necessary condition for walking on the river. Although we didn't do anything earth-shattering along the way, It was a great feat, but it was within our ability, and we did not sit idly by. When we came to the West Mountains, we passed through many large rivers. The fish girl encroached on the water transportation here. Now that we have gained some enlightenment, we naturally have to help one side, which is a great good. "
Yu Nie clapped his hands and said with a clear smile, "That's very good. Xinghua Village has been passed down and protected by the ancients. We are the icing on the cake and bring it the aura of water luck. God's way rewards hard work and heaven's principles circulate. Good, great good."
