Chapter 166 The Dragon King
When Wang Susu saw Chen Ling suddenly startled, she smiled and said: "What's wrong? She is really the child's aunt, an elder. She said it was okay."
The reason why I say this is because there is a local saying that when children say whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl and how many babies they have, it is usually accurate.
Of course, this is a superstitious statement among the elderly and cannot be taken seriously at all.
Otherwise, if we really want to be precise, according to the old idea of favoring boys over girls, if we look at any child, all the children will be boys, and there will be no girls.
"It's not this..."
Chen Ling shook his head with dazed eyes, recovering from the changes in the sun and moon cave sky, "It's nothing, you and Zhenzhen should rest first, I'll go outside Arrange the flowers and plants. I just dug some orchids and chrysanthemums from the mountains. They look very beautiful."
"Are they many? I'll help you get them."
Wang Susu heard that there are flowers. , a little bit unable to sit still.
"Not much, you need to rest first. I have to find some soil and get some flower pots, otherwise our yard will be too hard and it will be autumn again, so it will be difficult to plant flowers and plants directly."< br>
"That's okay."
Just like that, Chen Ling turned around and went out again.
Sun Moon Cave Sky has never seen any major changes since he obtained it. Now that there is an abnormality, he naturally does not dare to neglect it and wants to see what is going on inside.
But at the same time, I am worried that something will happen. If something like the first time happens again, it will be bad. It is better to find a place where there is no one.
After thinking about it, I walked towards Nanshan. When I reached the entrance of the village, I happened to find a few fishing boats parked in the reservoir. After a second thought, I threw down my shovel and bucket, picked up a boat, and walked along the reservoir. Slowly go south.
As he gradually approached Nanshan, Chen Ling found a place where the water flow was gentle and there were trees on the bank. He moved the boat over and tied the boat to the tree with a hemp rope. In a flash of white light, he disappeared on the boat.
Within the Sun and Moon Cave.
Chen Ling suddenly appeared in a strange place.
This place was wrapped in thick milky white mist. At first glance, he was shocked. He thought that this change had returned to the way it was when he first entered the cave. The things he kept inside the cave. Isn’t it all over?
But he soon realized something was wrong, because if he looked behind him, he could still see the previous scene, including woods, tree-lined paths, and even lotus ponds and arch bridges.
"No, why can I see so far all of a sudden?"
When he was confused, he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. It turned out that as he breathed and breathed, the thick fog was covered by him. Inhale it into your body and slowly fade away, your vision becomes clear, and a stream appears next to you.
It was the stream that ran through the forest, and it was a section that had not been touched before, but now he was standing outside the dense forest.
“Good guy, it turns out that the internal space has become larger. It’s because it wasn’t completely open to me before.”
Chen Ling looked from right to left, and was surprised and delighted at the same time. .
In the past, the inner space of the cave sky was a hundred acres in size, but everywhere outside these hundred acres was covered by thick milky white fog, and nothing could be seen clearly. Even when Chen Ling walked up to it, he wanted to I went to see what was behind the thick fog, but I was blocked by invisible barriers and couldn't get through at all.
He always thought that this was the boundary of the cave.
However, this is not the case. Now he knows that it is not that he can't get through. It is far from the border after the thick fog. It is just that the cave is not open to him. Now, for some unknown reason, the permissions have been further opened to him.
Not only did the inner space of the cave become larger, but even the source of the stream was revealed in front of his eyes as the thick fog faded.
I was suddenly shocked.
Looking forward along this clear stream, meandering, the source is a pool. The pool is not big, only a few feet square, and very shallow. Water is constantly overflowing. It turns into a trickle and gathers into a stream flowing towards the distance.
In the center of the pool, there is actually a small jasper-colored tree. It is not tall, but it is only more than two meters. But it has lush branches and leaves, its branches are as strong as dragons, and its crown is like a canopy. , the leaves are green, like transparent emerald leaves, surrounded by ribbon-like white mist, which condenses into dewdrops on the leaves and slides into the pool below.
"Ding dong, ding dong..."
It was crisp and sweet, but Chen Ling was so distracted that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
"This..."
"What kind of tree is this?"
"This is how the stream inside the cave comes from!"
Chen Ling shook his head, and suddenly a thought appeared in his heart. .
【Collect the aura of heaven and earth, gather the essence of sun and moon. 】
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable feeling filled his heart, which suddenly made him realize it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out that this water is the spiritual water transformed by the essence of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. No wonder it is so powerful."
So he walked to the jade tree and reached out to catch a few drops from the leaves. The dew drops gently into the mouth, and the mouth is immediately filled with fragrance and sweetness. The whole body is translucent, as if it has been baptized by some kind of baptism, and the spirit and spirit are renewed.
Then he bent down again, took a handful of water from the pool and drank it, but it was not much different from what he drank before.
“What a good thing, this pool is also very magical. It can naturally dilute the spiritual water, making one drop of dew turn into thousands of drops. This Sun and Moon Cave is indeed a blessed place for immortals, with all kinds of magical mysteries It's amazing..."
Chen Ling stood up with emotion, her heart filled with joy.
"I like the changes this time. Lingshui has opened my eyes. I have to try something else."
So I returned to a familiar place again and tested every idea in my mind.
...A long time passed in the blink of an eye. After many experiments, he already had a rough understanding of his current abilities. In addition to the spiritual water, his control over the Sun and Moon Cave Sky has been greatly improved.
In the past, Dongtian was only affected through the subconscious mind. It was subtle, invisible and intangible, and the results were very slow.
It’s different now. Now, as long as you think about it, you can accomplish most of the things you want to do in the cave.
For example, digging ponds, digging canals, planting trees, etc., he used to have to work hard to do it himself, but now he only needs to use his mind.
In general, the land and water sources in the cave are at his disposal. As long as he wants, the trees will automatically give way, and clearings will appear in the dense forest, turning into open cultivated land. The fields and ridges are arranged in an orderly manner, as if they have just been It is plowed, with regular depth and width.
As long as he wants, the spiritual water can return to mist, freeze, or turn into wind, frost, rain, and snow. In this way, the cave sky can also have four seasons of the year.
Of course, this is within the scope open to him, and he can do whatever he wants, but other places that are still shrouded in white mist cannot do it. In addition, Chen Ling can also control plants such as medicinal materials, fruits and vegetables, not letting them grow endlessly, but guiding them to grow in a useful direction, focusing on quality rather than output.
It will no longer grow into a messy pile.
The same is true for animals.
Under his control, everything became orderly and no longer grew wildly.
At the same time, he also vaguely explored some ways to use the convenience brought by Dongtian more rationally. Most of these are related to planting and breeding, and they need to be developed slowly in the future. .
“Okay, okay, that’s something.”
Chen Ling pinched his waist and looked around, and left the cave with satisfaction.
When I got back to the boat, I saw the blue waves of the reservoir. Suddenly I remembered a small experiment from before, so I put my hand on the water. With a thought, I heard the sound of rushing water, and there were streams of water flowing by him. When it is collected into the cave sky, it turns into water mist and continuously accumulates into clouds in the sky. As the clouds accumulate thicker and thicker, when the sky is covered with dark clouds, they turn into raindrops and fall. The intensity of the rain changes from light to heavy. It was raining heavily, and the rain was getting faster and faster, causing a downpour inside the cave in the blink of an eye.
The inside of the cave is like spring all year round, with no wind or rain, which is a rare situation.
It’s raining heavily now.
In an instant, the fish pond was churning, and each fish was overjoyed and jumped out of the water excitedly. The old turtles also crawled out of the water and came to the shore. One by one, they stuck their heads and squinted their eyes to greet them. The baptism of wind and rain.
The golden pheasants and birds hid in the thatched hut and jumped around with their wings spread out by the window. They looked at the heavy rain outside the window in amazement and kept chirping.
"Sure enough, after the water from the outside entered the cave, the water quality became cleaner." Chen Ling felt it carefully and found that the water quality had indeed improved, but it was just ordinary clean water, not spiritual water. wonderful effect.
So he untied the boat and continued to explore and test as he walked.
Gradually, the rain in the cave stopped, but it lasted for nearly an hour before Chen Ling reluctantly stopped.
He couldn't help but be addicted to this method of making clouds and rain.
"It's a pity that it can only be used in the cave. If the outside world can do this, wouldn't it be almost the same as the Dragon King."
With such emotion, he rowed the boat slowly towards the shore. At this time, it was just the same. It was only around 11 a.m., and a large group of people stood noisily on the dam. The autumn harvest is approaching, and villagers are often busy working past noon, leaving little free time. Today, it was strange that there were so many people gathered around. Many of them were holding hoes and shovels and gesticulating with their hands, not knowing what they were doing.
Seeing Chen Ling paddling over, someone on the dam hurriedly gestured to him, telling him not to come directly and to go ashore somewhere else.
"What happened?"
Chen Ling suddenly frowned and looked around, but didn't see anything special.
However, he still made a circle and returned to the shore from the west.
He walked towards the crowd carrying a few fish on the boat.
This was when he had just collected water from the reservoir to the cave sky. The fish caught up in the current were thrown onto the boat by him.
"Fugui is fishing for his wife again?"
"Yes, I caught two fish. What's wrong, second sister-in-law, what's the matter with you? You shouldn't be here at the meeting Is it open here?”
"What kind of meeting are you having? Come and see, come here quickly, there is a monster in our reservoir."
Chen Guoxing's wife shouted and waved to him.
"Monster?" Chen Ling was stunned, and then immediately remembered the thing he encountered when he was fishing in the reservoir before entering the mountain. At that time, he did not see clearly the true face of the thing hidden under the water, but Chen Ze His father, Lao Niwai, and Wang Laishun have both encountered it, and they said that when this thing sees people running away, the water vortex it creates is bigger than a grinding plate, which is very scary.
"Yes, come rich, come soon. I saw this thing before. It looks so fierce, just like a monster."
In the crowd, Chen Ze also shouted and pulled As soon as Chen Ling got up, she walked forward and pointed to a direction.
"Did you see it? I saw it not far away from the patch of chicken head buds. I heard from Nanda and my fifth uncle that this thing is deep in the reservoir during the day. It doesn't go to the water and only comes here at night. , I came here chasing ducks today, and ate several ducks in the water. When you just didn’t come over, there were a lot of duck feathers and blood bubbles floating on the water..."
"Yes, I did too. I saw that two of the ducks belong to my family."
"..."
The villagers talked in a hurry.
After listening to everyone’s accounts for a long time, Chen Ling had a rough idea of what happened.
The houses in the south of the village are relatively close to the reservoir. Their ducks and geese like to squawk everywhere in the ponds and reservoirs when they have nothing to do. It was the same today, but they suffered a disaster not long after they got down to the reservoir. They were so frightened that they started to quack. He screamed and tried to run but couldn't. One after another he was chased by things in the water, dragged down and eaten.
Chen Ze happened to be at his father's side, listening to the ducks in the reservoir outside the courtyard that kept quacking. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after quacking for a while, he started quacking again, which made him very upset, so he took it He came out with a bamboo pole to drive them away.
After leaving the door, I saw a scary scene as soon as I arrived at the reservoir.
According to him, there was a big black mouth on the surface of the water, as big as a washbasin, and it pulled the duck into the water. A group of about ten ducks were so frightened that they squawked and swam to the shore. But this thing is very thief, and it is very fast underwater. It keeps driving the ducks in circles to prevent them from escaping, and wants to eat them all.
Chen Ze didn’t think much at the time, he held up a long bamboo pole and hit it. Although it only made water splash in the water and failed to hit the thing, he could see it clearly now. 's true face.
At that time, he saw a big black head emerging from the water. According to his gestures, it was bigger than the washbasin.
He was so frightened that he screamed, his legs were weak, and he almost lost his balance and fell into the water.
Just then, several villagers working on the north side of the dam heard the noise and ran over to see what was going on. It was close to the water and accidents were easy to happen, especially for little ones. Drowning was not a small problem. , everyone is on guard, and no one will neglect it if there is any movement.
When Chen Ze saw them running over, he pointed at the reservoir and said there were monsters inside. Unexpectedly, the villagers didn't believe it at all, and even laughed at him, saying that for such a big man, he was a baby. All of them are here, and they are still fooling around.
Chen Ze was very anxious when he saw this. In order to prove that he was not lying, he held up a bamboo pole and drove the ducks that were swimming upstream into the water. The ducks were already frightened and how could they dare to swim back? , just running towards the shore like crazy, making these people look surprised.
At this time, something surprising happened. The duck was about to swim to the shore, but was chased by something in the water. It opened its mouth and ate two ducks one after another.
Hey guys, this is terrible. We saw monsters underwater before our eyes, and the villagers were also frightened.
One by one, they shouted monsters and ran towards the dam.
According to the description of the villagers, this underwater monster is two or three meters long, has horns on its head, is covered in scales, and has claws. It can eat a calf with its mouth... ...
After hearing this, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel funny: "This doesn't look like a monster you are talking about. It has horns, scales and claws. It is obviously the Dragon King."
