"If the Nuo God Cult really inflicts corpse poison on everyone during the Spring Equinox Nuo Festival, there is nothing we can do to stop it, right?"
Lan Ruling looked at the water veins. As long as the river water from the Yinping Ancient Road comes out of the Fujiang River, it will definitely get out of control through the mountains and pollute all the rivers in Shu. When the time comes, they will be unable to stop it even if they want.
Ren Peacock nodded: "We definitely can't rely entirely on the white hedgehog. How capable this little guy is. If you ask me, you still have to find someone to prepare these anti-pig medicines in advance. If the Nuo God Sect really wants to lay a poison, it's better to let Shu The local people should take precautions in advance."
Regarding this point, Song Siyuan is not worried: "Don't be too panicked. The Nuo God Sect has been in power for thirty years and has not bewitched the people of Shu. It can be seen that they are also very cautious about bewitching people. Probably after No matter what time you wait for, you will only take action when the time comes."
"This timing should come after finding Sister Ren. Finding out what the Nuo God Cult is about first is the top priority."
To investigate the Nuo Cult, we must start from the back mountain spring!
Early the next morning, the ancient town of Jiangyou was shrouded in gray smoke and heavy dew. Several people followed the farmers who went to the mountains to collect water and entered the back mountains along the mountain road.
This back mountain is called Yinguan Mountain, located behind the Yin Temple. The mountain is steep and rugged, with thousands of sharp edges. The mountain is like a knife-cut slice that stretches for dozens of miles. The vegetation on the mountain is lush and lush, and it is difficult to climb because of the straight up and down mountain walls. To climb, you can only rely on the plank road.
If you look at it from the Yin Temple Tower, you can see that the mountain is like a huge barrier blocking the ancient town of Jiangyou. In the steep mountain shape, you can see a concave pass, which is Jiangyou Chengguan.
If you want to cross Yinguan Mountain, you must either take this naturally formed pass, or you can only take the stone plank road or ancient cave on the cliff. Otherwise, it is difficult to cross Jiangyou Pass.
For thousands of years, this place has been easy to defend and difficult to attack and is shaped like a natural city wall. Once you leave Yinping, you will arrive at the Ganliang Tibetan Land, which is a place where foreign races are entrenched by the ancients. For a long time, the ancients also called this place Yin. The pass is heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult to sneak across.
The mountain springs are concentrated within Jiangyou Chengguan. They are waterfalls that fall from high altitudes into the river beach. After being washed by the rocks, these waterfalls eventually merge into the Fujiang River and become part of the river.
People in Sichuan love tea, but they don’t like drinking it from rivers. After the rivers merge, the waters are polluted, and the water quality is often not good. When the Fujiang River flows, the mud and sand make the taste bitter and astringent. If you want to make tea, you must choose tea that has not been polluted by rivers and mountains. For mountain springs, it is better to have a high height difference, so that the clear springs are purified by the mountains, leaving only the sweetness and sweetness.
The uncle they were following was a water seller in Jiangyou Ancient Town. Every morning, he would rush to pull the cart and put four or five wooden barrels on it. When Yinguan Spring was filled with spring water, he could take it to Jiangyou Ancient Town and sell it to the water seller. For the common people, they either wash and brush their teeth, or make soup to cook, and the food is sold out in one day.
No matter how much water is left, it must be filled again the next day.
"Sister, are you also going to the back mountain to enjoy the spring?"
"Yes, let's go to Yinquan. Uncle, since the spring water here is sweet, why is it called Yinquan?"
Ren Peacock and the others sat behind the carriage and asked casually.
"Oh, it's such a long time ago. I want to set up the Dragon Gate Formation for you, at least from decades ago."
Thirty years ago, the Yin Spring was just an ordinary waterfall falling from the mountain wall. At that time, the spring water was bitter and unpleasant, and it was not as delicious as the river water. The local people said that the Yin Spring flowed from the underworld. It's the Meng Po soup that was spoiled by Meng Po. Ordinary people can only feed the pigs and wash clothes, but they won't be willing to do anything more.
Later, an Orion hunter near the back mountain had his mother seriously ill. At that time, he had no money to treat the illness. When he heard that the Nuo God Sect was coming to practice medicine to save people, he took his mother to the site of the Nuo God Sect's practice. These Nuo Gods After asking someone to check the old lady's pulse, they said that the old lady just suffered from thirst syndrome and that she would be fine if she drank some clear spring water.
This puts hunters in a difficult position. Yinguan Mountain does have mountain springs, but the mountain springs have not tasted good since ancient times, otherwise the people would not use the river water.
After he truthfully told the Nuo God Cult what he meant, these believers became happy instead, saying that Shu has outstanding people, beautiful mountains and rivers, and is a land of abundance. In the past, it was because the earth energy of the Shu Kingdom was suppressed by the Central Plains, which caused the spring water to change. Got to be bitter.
Now that the ancestors are reviving, the suppressed earth energy is gradually released, and the spring water will gradually become delicious and sweet. Even nourished by the earth energy, it can nourish yin and yang, and strengthen the heart and bones.
Orion didn't believe this at first, but when he got a bucket of water from the clear spring in the back mountain, it tasted really sweet and sweet, with a faint fragrance. If the water is used to make tea, ordinary tea can be as good as famous tea. drink.
As a result, the Yin Spring water spread to ten people and hundreds of people, attracting people in Jiangyou to continue to use it, and even villagers from nearby villages also went up the mountain to get water.
Now, the unlucky name of Yinquan has been changed to Liquan, which means clear and sweet spring water.
"Nourishes yin and yang, strengthens muscles and bones, do you think this spring water is more powerful than ginseng soup?"
Yue Guanchao joked while driving his carriage, and Labo understood what he meant: "My dear, don't believe it, Liquan is really good at curing diseases. The ancestors of Sichuan and Shu have always nourished the earth's energy. Drinking it The spring water can really strengthen the body. There is a goddess in our village. After drinking the spring water, she met the ancestors of the past generations and the ancient gods of Shu. Now she has been chosen by the Nuo God to become a believer, and she will have no worries about food and drink in the future."
"I heard that the spring water has been nourished by the earth's energy for a long time. People who drink it can easily be dreamed by the ancient gods. Such people are destined people. As long as the Nuo God Cult hears about people who have dreamed of the gods of Shu, they will They accept them as believers, which is different from us ordinary people."
When they spoke, they had been walking for two hours, climbing over several low hills, and arrived at the southern foot of Yinguan Mountain.
It was said before that Yinguan Mountain is steep and difficult to climb. They stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. They saw green mountains blocking their eyes like a screen. At the highest point of the concave shape, there were city towers built in front. In the wild mountain area between the foot of the mountain and the Chengguan Tower, there were The two mountain roads twist and turn to different places. It can be seen that the black and gray mountain road extends into the dense jungle and continues to extend up the mountain, leading to Chengguan and Liquan River.
In front of the mountain gate, the archway is messy and cracked, with the words "Yinguan Tower" written on it!
They found the way to Liquan River and walked along the mountain road to Liquan River. They stood on the stone arch bridge at the end of the mountain road and looked over. The source of this river was Liquan Falls. The water dropped hundreds of meters to form a river and passed along the curved river channel. Several wild mountains merge into the Fujiang River.
On the Liquan River, there is a waterwheel larger than a city tower standing at the end of the spring. The waterfall falls, the waterwheel rumbles and rotates, and the mountain spring water raises mist dozens of meters away, making the surrounding woods wet and foggy!
Some people died, but not completely...
