Chapter 15 Spiritual Rice and Fate
Chapter 15 Spiritual Rice and Fate
Although the Mule River is just an ordinary river and does not contain any rare treasures.
But the good thing is that the vast land around it is godless!
From now on, it doesn't need to be constrained or restricted and can do whatever it wants.
Isn’t it easy to abuse your power?
So, it boldly called itself the river god.
Threatening the villagers on both sides of the strait to worship it.
In order to prevent the villagers from going to Luoxia Town outside the mountain and talking nonsense, which would attract the attention of the gods outside the mountain, it also ordered the high priest and others to monitor the villagers who left the mountain.
Let them trade in town and leave, and don't let them stay.
Over time, this has become the situation we have today.
After explaining the whole story, the catfish demon waited tremblingly for his fate.
The woman in the main seat thought for two seconds, then said, "You bully the people in your hometown. You must make up for your mistakes yourself. I will punish you by digging dikes and diverting the Mule River, dredging the silt and clearing the canal."
It can be considered as paying back for the sins it has committed.
The catfish spirit was delighted after hearing this.
Don’t worry about your life anymore!
It bowed quickly and said, "Thank you for not killing me, Immortal! I will work hard to pay for my sins!"
"Ah."
In order to prevent the fish monster from pretending to obey and being sneaky, Chongfan used the whipping technique he had just acquired on it.
As long as it dares to play tricks, do you know the pain of splitting the soul?
-
At the foot of Yudu Mountain.
Chongbing escorted Huiwu back to Mule River.
After his explanation, people understood that the fish demon had been completely subdued by Queen Wanbao.
It is also used to do good deeds to atone for the sins of the villagers.
In this regard, people once again lamented the kindness and tolerance of Queen Wanbao.
Some devout people even knelt down and kowtowed to Yudu Mountain on the spot.
After Chongbing left, Huiwu took the initiative to bring ashore all the treasures he had looted as soon as he got into the water.
It's a way to show my attitude.
-
Within a few days.
People carved a statue of Wanbao Niangniang out of wood, enshrined it in their homes, and worshipped it every day.
Some even made amulets with the title "Wanbao Niangniang" inscribed on them and hung them on themselves to pray for peace.
In a short time, every household on both sides of the Muli River knew about it, and everyone worshipped the goddess's tablet.
However, since no one had ever seen the goddess's face, the matter of erecting a statue was temporarily put on hold.
So as not to blaspheme the Queen.
Even because there was no surveillance by the high priest and others, the villagers were able to enter and exit Mule River and the outside world freely.
In the past, every time they went out, they were accompanied by specific people, and were monitored by the high priest and others, for fear that the villagers would tell others what happened in the mountains.
Now, people can’t wait to share the news that there are immortals in Yudu Mountain.
At the same time, it is also for purchasing building materials needed for building the temple from outside.
So they all rushed out of the mountain actively.
Hehe, we have real immortals in Yudu Mountain, are you envious?
This immortal is very kind. Are you jealous?
We have also seen the magical weapons of the immortals with our own eyes and even used them. We have also witnessed the legendary scene of the pagoda suppressing the river monster. Are you jealous?
Everyone has the desire to share, and everyone has the desire to brag.
Especially in this era when the entertainment industry is underdeveloped, all we do is eat, work and sleep.
Life is quite simple.
Everyone was so excited about having so much gossip in their hands that they couldn't sleep.
I just can't help but get it off my chest.
I wish I could go to the town outside the mountain right away and have a good talk with the people there.
As villagers from the east and west banks left, people in Luoxia Town, a village outside the encirclement of the Yudu Mountains, also learned about these things.
Some people were skeptical, while others sneered at it.
There is always a gap between things that you have never seen with your own eyes.
Until something appeared, which made people in Luoxia Town believe it.
That is spiritual rice.
Lingmi is the name given by the villagers on both sides of the Mule River.
This is the rice produced by the rice plants that were saved by the rejuvenation bottle.
Thanks to the effect of the rejuvenation bottle, the rice that should have been harvested in autumn is now ripe.
And the output is quite high.
So the villagers harvested the rice, dried the grains for a few days, and then removed the husks to make fresh rice.
After eating the first bowl of new rice, people were surprised to find that this rice seemed different from the rice they had eaten before!
It is soft, sweet and leaves a delicious taste in your mouth.
Not only that, they felt that after eating the new rice, their bodies seemed to be more relaxed and they had more energy.
Everyone was amazed at the taste and function of the new rice, so at Li Zhao's suggestion, they called it magical rice.
The output of this magical rice was so huge that it far exceeded the villagers' expectations.
So Li Zhao and Li Hu proposed to sell some of the sacred rice in exchange for money to build the temple.
Since then, the magical rice has spread to Luoxia Town.
Its special taste and effects have conquered a large number of people in Luoxia Town.
In addition, it is still some time before the real autumn harvest, so this magical rice comes out.
Such a magical thing naturally aroused the surprise and curiosity of the people in Luoxia Town.
After a little more inquiry, the name of Niangniang Wanbao was spread among the villagers.
-
Li Xiaoman’s home.
"Grandpa, come and try it. This is porridge made from spiritual rice. It tastes delicious!"
Li Xiaoman came to the bedside with a bowl and carefully helped Li Decai up.
In just a short period of time, the old man seemed to have become even older.
His lips were pale, his eyes were dark, and he had lost a lot of weight.
Li Decai slowly opened his eyes and looked at the thick rice porridge in the bowl.
A smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Originally, Li Xiaoman had no time to harvest his own spiritual rice because he had to take care of Li Decai.
It was because the villagers were grateful to the old village chief that they came spontaneously to help with the harvest, which gave us the new rice.
Li Xiaoman supported Li Decai with one hand, and with the other hand he took a spoonful of rice porridge and blew it carefully in front of his mouth.
He slowly put it into Li Decai's mouth until it was no longer hot.
The old man swallowed slowly.
Then he murmured, "That's great!"
He had never eaten such delicious rice porridge.
It’s a pity that I will never be able to eat it again.
Li Decai looked at the roof and thought of what he heard from the village doctor a few days ago.
He was still unconscious at that time, but conscious.
The village doctor's sighing voice still echoes in his ears.
He knew that he wouldn't live much longer.
I just can’t help but worry about Xiaoman.
Xiaoman was a child he picked up outside Yudu Mountain.
The injuries he received while serving in the army left him infertile.
Therefore, he remained unmarried and had no children.
Ever since he picked up the child, he has loved him like his own grandson.
Now that his time has come, he is naturally extremely reluctant to let go.
Li Decai drank the rice porridge mouthful by mouthful from Li Xiaoman's hand.
Then he reached out his trembling hand and touched Li Xiaoman's head.
Just like he had done countless times before.
The room was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Li Xiaoman lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.
Suddenly the young man wiped his tears, looked up and said:
"Grandpa, I'll go up the mountain to ask the empress for help. The empress will definitely be able to cure you."
But the old man grabbed his sleeve and shook his head slowly.
"My child, we have received too much kindness from the Queen. Birth, aging, sickness and death are our destiny. There is no need to cause trouble for the Queen."
Li Xiaoman sniffed.
Choking with sobs, she said, "But, Grandpa, you..."
The old man shook his head, his eyes cloudy but firm.
"In my life, I have no regrets except that I can't let you go."
