Su Qing was somewhat interested in Thirteenth Wood, but not what Hou Zhen said. It's because in this popular place, there is hidden spiritual energy.
This area has not yet been revealed in the sea of consciousness, but the things seen are quite different.
Liuping Mountain is a place where spiritual energy gathers, and the spiritual energy of Thirteen Wu is not much less. But it is different from the situation in Liuping Mountain. The spiritual energy here is closed. Neither man nor beast can benefit from it.
The stone Su Qing picked up was milky white and had the same irregular shape as other stones. But the texture has a soft feeling, and it feels warm when touched.
"This kind of stone is a specialty here, but it's not worth much." Hou Zhen didn't know why Su Qing was interested in stones, but he felt it was necessary to play the role of a tour guide.
"Because the texture is soft and smooth, it is very suitable for carving some gadgets. In the early days, people in Shisanwu relied on this to make a living. The earliest heads of households were all carvers. It is said that they came from I gained enlightenment through carving and left a legacy of martial arts..."
Hou Zhen was very proud when talking about these histories, and did not notice Su Qing's regret.
"Although the purity is low, it is indeed a spiritual stone." Su Qing rubbed the stone.
As long as spiritual energy is stored, any stone can be a spiritual stone. For example, on Penglai Island, every stone is full of spiritual energy.
Now the aura of these stones is very low, and there is no comparison with the ones on Penglai Island. But even if there is only a trace, it is still a real spiritual stone.
The stonemasons who founded Shisanwu did not gain enlightenment from carving, but absorbed spiritual energy from carving.
Su Qing is not interested in history, but he cares about these stones.
The spiritual energy of Qianzhou is better than that of Qingzhou, so it is not surprising that the spiritual stone appears. But one thing is very concerning, and that is the pattern shown.
There is no obvious difference between Shuangtuoshan and Qingzhou in Beihai Sword Sect. But the further south you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes.
The entire Di Shengqianzhou is like a spoon. Beihai Sword School, Huiyan Yidao Style, and Qingyi Tower are located on the handle of the spoon. Starting from Baihemen is the spoon part.
"The White Crane Sect is in the Liuping Mountain where the spiritual energy gathers, and the Thirteenth Dock is buried with impurity spiritual stones. It's not that there are no such places before, but they were sucked away. The direction of the sucking is Liejian Villa..."
Su Qing was thinking with a stone when a thin boy came over. He looked at Su Qing timidly, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Give it back to you." Su Qing handed the stone back to the boy.
"Thank you." The little boy took the stone, wiped the dirt on his clothes, and put the small satchel back like a treasure.
Su Qing glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing picking up stones?"
The little boy said timidly: "Carve something."
Su Qing said: "Can you show it to me?"
The little boy glanced at Su Qing, turned around quickly and ran away.
Hou Zhen watched clearly and sighed regretfully. "What a pity for this kid."
Su Qing glanced at Hou Zhen. "What's a pity?"
Hou Zhen opened his mouth.
Fortunately, a group of people came out of the village, which relieved Hou Zhen's embarrassment.
"Dad, it's that old man..."
The children who had just been scared away by Hou Zhen rushed back with dozens of people.
Most of these people are dressed in ordinary clothes, but they are all cultivated. The leading man was a big man with a Xiantian realm cultivation level.
"Where are you from?" The big man shouted loudly, holding an axe. "Don't you know this is the Thirteenth Pit? How dare you cause trouble here!"
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the butt, and he flew out and fell flat on his face.
At some point, Hou Zhen appeared behind him.
"Go back and let someone older come and talk to me." Hou Zhen didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. "Tell them that the old man from the Hou family is back."
The big man's bones were almost shattered by this kick, and he instantly understood the difference in strength. Enduring the pain, he got up and asked tentatively: "Are you from the clan? Which room in the Hou family?"
Hou Zhen snorted coldly and didn't bother to answer.
The big man frowned and said a few words to the person next to him, and the person quickly ran back to the village.
Mr. Hou ignored the big man, and the big man did not dare to offend this bad-tempered old man again. A group of people waited silently as the little boy from before came back.
"Here, I carved this." The little boy panted and ran to Su Qing, and handed over a stone statue with a red face.
"The next generation is to be feared." Hou Zhen secretly raised his thumb and remembered this child deeply. But after taking a look at the stone statue in his hand, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
too ugly.
At first glance it looks like a pig, but the ears and nose are nothing like it. Short legs, short feet, fat and chubby, you can be as ugly as you want.
Several children crowded in the crowd burst out laughing when they saw it.
"When did it get carved again? It's getting uglier every time."
"Is it a pig? It seems to be a pig."
"It's not a pig, it's a pig with its nose cut off..."
The little boy blushed even more and subconsciously wanted to take the stone sculpture back. But Su Qing stretched out his hand and took the stone sculpture.
"Very good." Su Qing looked over and over and said. "What you carved is a tiger, right?"
The little boy's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously. "Yes, it's a tiger."
A group of people stared there, but they couldn't tell it was a tiger. Hou Zhen stretched his neck and took a hard look, and couldn't help but said: "Xianjun, is this a tiger?"
"It doesn't have the shape of a tiger, but has the meaning of a crouching tiger." Su Qing knelt down and gently placed the stone sculpture on the ground. "This is a tiger."
Ouch...
Following the words "This is a tiger", a tiger roar suddenly came from the ground.
Everyone watching the excitement was stunned, and a few laughing children were even more excited.
Then, I saw the stone sculpture moving.
He shook his neck and stretched his limbs. With a pair of eyes wide open, he looked around curiously.
Yes, it's a tiger.
A living stone tiger.
"Here, this was carved by me?" The little boy stared blankly, squatting down and wanting to touch it, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
"You carved it." Su Qing picked up a stone, crushed it into small pieces, and put it to Shi Hu's mouth.
The chubby little stone tiger sniffed, swallowed the gravel into his mouth with a groan, and chewed it crunchily.
"Can it still eat?" The little boy lost his fear immediately and came over to take a few gravels and brought them to the little tiger's mouth.
The stone tiger still swallowed it in one bite and chewed it crunchily. She even rubbed her head against the boy's hand, as if to express intimacy.
"You can try to raise it." Su Qing said, "It won't eat all rocks, so you have to put more effort into it. If you can raise it, come to Penglai to find me."
Hou Zhen trembled suddenly on the side, looking at the little boy and Shi Hu, his eyes gleaming. He looked around more instinctively, as if something would jump out and snatch people away at any moment.
The little boy hummed, not sure whether he heard it clearly or not. His attention was entirely on Shihu, and he couldn't take his eyes away for a moment.
Of course the same goes for other kids.
"Can you let me touch it..."
"Can I feed it?"
"Will it bite?"
Children don't think as much as adults, they just think this little thing is cute. Be it a boy or a girl, attraction is fatal.
"It's okay, just touch it. It doesn't bite, it's very well-behaved..." The skinny boy couldn't help but stop, acting like a little master.
"that……"
The child who bullied him before also came over, hesitating. "Before, it was my fault before... You can kick me too. After the kick, we are even. Let me touch it..."
The thin boy flattened his mouth and said, "I don't want to kick you, but you have to listen to me in the future."
"Okay, okay." The strong boy nodded vigorously. "Starting today, you will be the leader. I will fight whoever you say. If you don't let me, I won't fight anyone."
"Then go ahead and touch it." The skinny boy stepped aside.
The strong boy cheered excitedly and immediately squeezed past. "Get out of the way, let me touch you first, I am the second leader..."
…
The boy was good at carving stones, but he was weak and outclassed, so he was often humiliated at home. One day, a tiger was carved at the entrance of the village, imitating the sound of the beast. Children ran around, exclaiming that it would eat people. Knowing the truth later, I admire his skills and follow his lead.
