Chapter 555, Silk Island
"Ding Shenzhu?!" Liu San asked unconsciously.
"It's the fourth of the ten Heavenly Stem Spiritual Stones." said the God of Storms.
"Oh!" Liu San understood that ten Heavenly Stem Spirit Stones had been obtained by Imperial Capital Island, and one of them was cultivated by this giant mulberry tree.
He looked carefully and found that the true energy emanating from the five giant cocoons slowly flowed into the roots of the giant mulberry, and it was indeed absorbed by the giant mulberry.
"This giant mulberry tree is the spiritual pillar of Silk Island. As long as the giant mulberry tree survives, the mulberry trees on the entire island will prosper," said the God of Storms.
No wonder the five silkworm gods would use their own energy to cultivate giant mulberry trees, just for the prosperity of the entire silk island. If the mulberry trees do not flourish, the silkworms on the island will lose food and it will be impossible for them to flourish.
The three of them walked slowly in the mulberry forest, looking at various cocoons, some big, some small, some round, some oval, and some elongated.
There is also a mulberry forest with silkworm cocoons of various colors hanging there. There are almost every color you can imagine. Although the number is not large, it is the most amazing.
The silk fabric woven from such cocoons naturally comes in various colors and does not require dyeing, thus achieving permanent colorfastness.
Xiao Yazhi sighed unconsciously: "If you could make a dress out of such a unique silk, it would be the most beautiful!"
Women all love beauty, and when they see such a gorgeous silkworm cocoon, they can’t help but admire it.
The God of Storms said: "This silk forest is specially dedicated to the Immortal of the Imperial Capital Island. Ordinary people are blessed to enjoy it!"
Liu San looked at the forest in the morning light and said: "Is it possible that the silk here is also supplied to the Imperial Capital Island?!"
The God of Storms nodded.
All the silk from Silk Island is supplied to Imperial Capital Island. This is the island that exclusively supplies Imperial Capital Island’s clothing and fabrics, just like Mixiang Island, which exclusively supplies Imperial Capital Island’s food; Gongyi Island, which exclusively supplies Imperial Capital Island’s daily utensils.
The clothes worn by the warriors and craftsmen of Imperial Island, as well as the women of Imperial Island, are all woven from the silk here. Depending on their level of cultivation, they enjoy clothes made of silk of different qualities.
…
As the three of them talked, they walked through the mulberry forest and saw the small town under the rising sun.
Several men carrying bamboo baskets walked out of the small town and walked towards the mulberry forest. They were probably going to pick up silkworm cocoons in the forest.
This is a town that is not too big, and the population is not too large. It is more like a village. It is almost the same as Gongyi Island. It is almost a small workshop based on a family. Each family is a silk workshop.
It wasn't until they reached the end of the town that they saw an inn. Opposite the inn was a large courtyard, which was very conspicuous in the town. This courtyard faced the forest on the other side, and the main building was built with stones.
Made of bricks.
But this is only what ordinary people can see. For Liu San and others, they clearly see that the wonderland built on the first floor is actually a hanging garden!
There are all kinds of flowers and plants in the garden, which is like a fairyland on earth. And above the fairyland, there is indeed a beautiful woman sitting in front of ten spinning machines. However, she does not shake the machines with her hands, but chants a spell.
Shake your arms and use your magic power to shake these ten spinning machines together!
Each of the ten machines has three spinning clamps, and a total of thirty strands of silk of various colors are slowly wound around the spinning clamps.
This is the drawing process of silk production.
The woman was dancing and dancing, and she was in the garden again. It was as if she was dancing. Liu San and the other three people's eyes widened when they saw her.
In the courtyard, there were several bamboo baskets filled with silkworm cocoons of various colors. They were probably all recently picked.
A handsome man in long flowing clothes faced several large water tanks, gently waved his palms, and exerted energy into the water tanks. Each tank was soaked with silkworm cocoons of the same color. As the man's palms changed, the
Floating and sinking in the water tank. When these silkworm cocoons are soaked and softened, the outer layer of skin will fall off, revealing the filamentous substrate.
What this man was doing was the first step in making silk, soaking silkworm cocoons.
As the man's fingers twitched, he picked out the shed silkworm skins in the water tank one after another and dropped them to the side. What was left was the soaked silkworm cocoons. The man chanted a spell, and the silkworm cocoons slowly left the water tank and were transferred into the diabolo basket.
Then the man waved his palm and sent the bamboo basket to the garden wonderland on the second floor.
The woman took the bamboo basket, divided every three cocoons into a group, picked out the silk heads, pinched them into a strand of silk, and wrapped them around the spinning clamp. After a while, thirty more spinning clamps were filled.
The woman danced and manipulated the ten spinning machines again to start a new round of spinning.
They really were a pair of handsome people. Although Liu San was vulgar and uneducated, he couldn't help praising this couple in his heart.
Just as he was admiring, a group of birds, including swallows and gray sparrows, flew out from the woods opposite the garden wonderland. There were dozens of them. When they flew to the garden wonderland, they all turned into human beings, but they were a group of cultivators.
For the jagged bird fairy!
These bird fairies are both male and female. The ones with the lowest level of cultivation are up to the first level of martial arts warriors, and the one with the highest level of cultivation is the leader, Fairy Yan.
She was wearing a black and white skirt, flowing elegantly in the air, but with an angry look on her face, she shouted sharply at the man below the garden fairyland: "Siichiro, you still favor the Five Silkworms and are not willing to marry me, are you?
!”
The man behind her was a Gray Bird Fairy, and said loudly: "Sister Yanzi has been catching pests for Silk Island for many years. Why don't you like Sister Yanzi? Instead, you like the silkworm sister of the Five Silkworm Fairies!"
It turned out that the man's name was Ichiro, and he seemed to have known for a long time that they were coming to cause trouble. Ichiro stopped casting spells on the cocoons in the water tank, and the woman in the garden wonderland also stopped spinning.
The woman flew to Siichiro and said: "Fairy Yan, although you have worked hard and accomplished a lot, you have a very bad temper. If my brother marries you, won't he be asking for trouble himself?!"
Fairy Yan stamped her feet and said: "Little sister Si, who has a bad temper? It's your brother who has been secretly in love with Sister Can and doesn't want to get married to me. I'm almost going to be an old girl, so why don't you worry!"
Seeing that this group of bird fairies were about to fight with the Si brothers and sisters, the God of Storms pulled Liu San and whispered: "This is their fight on Silk Island, we should stay away."
He took Liu San and Xiao Yazhi to the inn across the street and walked in. The small inn was run by a young couple. The boss was still busy making silkworm cocoons. The landlady opened two rooms for the three of them.
The God of Storms asked smoothly: "You, the owner of Siichiro Island, are really unreasonable. You should have married Fairy Yan long ago."
The young proprietress sighed and said: "It's not because Second Sister Si stayed on Imperial Island that made Siichiro and Little Sister Si hate Imperial Island. But they dare not anger Imperial Island."
"Oh! It turns out that Fairy Yan is living on the Imperial Capital Island. No wonder Siichiro is unwilling to marry her." The God of Storms also sighed and said, "This Imperial Capital Island has brought misfortune to many families!"
The face of the landlady changed, she didn't want to talk anymore, and she hurriedly left the room.
The God of Storms didn't care at all. Even though he was on Silk Island, which was full of subordinates of Imperial Capital Island, he didn't worry about being betrayed at all.
Liu San was also a person with a generous nature, and he also guessed that the God of Storms had a good reason. So he also lay on the window and watched the confrontation in the garden wonderland from a distance.
…
At this time, all the bird fairies had surrounded the Garden Wonderland. Ichiro, who still did not speak, had already slowly flown over the Garden Wonderland.
He stared at Fairy Yan and finally spoke, saying: "You have to know, the reason why I am the owner of this island is to ensure the safety of this island. We use our hard work, especially the silkworm fairies, for the survival of the entire Silk Island.
He did not hesitate to abandon his own children and produce a large amount of silkworm cocoons to supply the Imperial Capital Island."
This Ichiro's voice was actually very soft, as soft as a woman's. But his soft voice contained a will that was unwilling to surrender. Facing the bird fairies surrounding the garden fairyland, he said: "Look at the mulberry tree fairy again.
They also abandoned their children to provide food for silkworms day and night. But you, the bird immortals, in order to improve your status, devoted yourself to the Imperial Capital Island. In order to hinder the cultivation of the five silkworm immortals, you allowed the pests to bite the mulberry trees and even eat the baby silkworms.
!”
After hearing these words, Liu San and Xiao Yazhi finally understood the grudge between them.
Fairy Yan said sharply: "Island Master, you should know that I am doing this for everyone's safety. As long as we remain mediocre, Imperial Capital Island will not make things difficult for us!"
What she said was sincere, and it didn't seem like she was lying.
"Even if the Five Silkworm Immortals practice diligently, can they be higher than the Great Immortal of Imperial Capital Island?" Fairy Yan shed tears as she spoke.
Gray Bird Fairy said loudly: "Now you know our difficulties, right?"
Siichiro bit his thin lips and said: "In any case, last time the Mantis Demon Lord attacked the Five Silkworm Immortals, you didn't stop it. Sister Silkworm was injured and her cultivation was greatly reduced. Such methods are too despicable! I am
I will never work with you!"
Fairy Yan said anxiously: "This is all done by the Mantis Demon Lord in accordance with the will of the Imperial Capital Island. How dare we, the Bird Fairies, stop it!"
Ichiro said with emotion: "I know that those two demon kings hiding in the dark have long wanted to get rid of me and sit on the throne of the island master! If this is God's will, I have no choice but to accept it! I will never help
Imperial Capital Island enslaves the immortals on Silk Island!"
Fairy Yan wanted to persuade her, but Fairy Gray Bird took her arm and said: "Maybe he doesn't know the methods of the Mantis Demon and the Locust Demon. Since we can't dissuade him, we can only let him face the two demons."
!”
Ichiro's voice was still soft, but already very cold, and said: "You just leave. In the past few decades, two demon kings have been sending silk to Imperial Capital Island. They are the two evil spirits placed here on Imperial Capital Island.
hand!"
Fairy Yan shed tears, covered her face and left.
The Gray Bird Fairy and other bird fairies also flew into the opposite forest with them and disappeared.
Siichiro's mood was no longer calm, and he said: "Little sister, let the two demon kings come, let's resist together!"
Si Xiaomei trembled unconsciously and said: "My brother and I are together, and we will never bow to the two demon kings even if we die..."
Ichiro sighed and said: "If the second sister Si is here, the three of us will fight against the enemy together and die together. There will be no regrets!"
