Hearing Ye Tian's words, the middle-aged man became obviously interested. He wiped his freshly washed hands on his body, invited Ye Tian and the others to sit down, and said, "In the past, our village was still in the mountains.
My neighbor had a daughter who disappeared for several days in the mountains more than ten years ago.
When she came out, she was pregnant and gave birth to a baby covered in hair. However, she died within a few days. Wasn't that because she was captured by savages?"
"Is this really happening?" Zhou Xiaotian's eyes widened when he heard this. This was the first time he heard of such a thing.
"Of course it's true."
Seeing that Zhou Xiaotian didn't believe it, the middle-aged man vowed: "There is still a furry boy in the village to the north. He can't even talk. It's okay for you two young men to go into the mountains. If there is a woman, you must be careful."
"Old Qi, stop fooling around and pour a glass of water for the guest."
When the woman who came out to wash vegetables heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be afraid. I have lived in this mountain for more than forty years and I have never seen any savages."
"That's because you haven't seen it. There are many strange things in Shennongjia."
Lao Qi must be a little afraid of his wife. He muttered something, turned around and went into the house, took out two teacups, poured water for Ye Tian and Zhou Xiaotian on the small table in the yard. The tea was grown on the mountain, and it smelled like
A fragrance that touches the heart.
Hearing Lao Qi's last words, Ye Tian thought about it and asked: "Brother Qi, apart from the savages, is there anything strange happening in Shennongjia?"
Ye Tian didn't care at all about the savages. He mentioned the savages just to bring up Lao Qi's topic.
Moreover, Ye Tian had also seen the deeds of that furry child on TV. After genetic testing by scientists, it was found that it was just an atavistic genetic mutation and was not caused by invasion by savages.
Lao Qi looked around and lowered his voice and said: "There are gods in Shennongjia!"
"Is there a god?"
Ye Tian couldn't help but be stunned, with a hint of joy in his eyes, but with a disapproving expression on his face, he said: "Brother Qi, you think of us as children. How can there be any gods now? Can he fly or 72 change?"
ah?"
To be honest, if Ye Tianzhen had not lost his energy and his methods of retrieving objects from the air, people like Lao Qi would probably worship him as a god.
So if there really are the kind of people Lao Qi mentioned in the mountains, Ye Tian can conclude that they are cultivators.
"Brother, don't believe it, my Lao Qi's words are not a lie."
Before Lao Qi could say anything, his woman said first: "Someone saw a cloud in the mountains before. A man had clouds under his feet and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The person who encountered this was the best hunter in our village. He has never been
You won’t tell lies.”
"With clouds under my feet, can they really fly?" Ye Tianzhui asked, "When did you see this? How long has it been since now?"
According to Nan Huaijin, after the cultivation level reaches the state of refining the gods and returning to the void, the true energy in the body will undergo changes, and the invisible true energy will most likely turn into tangible Gang Qi and be released outside the body.
The senior that Nan Huaijin saw back then was also rising into the sky with clouds rising from his feet, which was almost exactly the same as what Sister-in-law Qi said.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but get excited. Someone had seen it with his own eyes, which showed that there were really people who practiced Taoism in this mountain, and their cultivation level was far beyond him. This gave Ye Tian a glimmer of hope to find the technique.
As for whether immortals are immortals, Ye Tian doesn't think so. The so-called immortals are just mortals who have developed the mysteries of their bodies to the greatest extent and displayed some magical powers that ordinary people cannot.
Just like the average person's utilization rate of the brain is only about 2% to 5%, but Einstein's utilization rate of the brain reached 10%, which led to so many inventions.
"It's been over ten years, and he's not the only one who has seen it. Everyone around here knows about it."
Lao Qi lowered his voice a little more, took the cigarette from his ear, and said: "You go in and speak softly, but don't curse the gods, and be sure to put out the cigarette butts after you finish smoking.
, otherwise the gods will be angry."
"Why is this? The gods still care about us smoking?" Lao Qi's words made Ye Tian stunned for a moment. People like them usually won't meddle in other people's business as long as they don't offend themselves.
Lao Qi shook his head and said: "Who knows, anyway, our mountain tradition does not allow smoking in the mountains. Some people say that the mountain gods are afraid that fireworks will burn the mountains. Last year, there was such a thing.
What about..."
It turns out that last fall, seven or eight young men and women from Wuhan visited Shennongjia. In order to experience the fun of the mountains, they all brought tents and stayed in the mountains at night.
However, there are still many animals in Shennongjia, an undeveloped area. Black bears, leopards, and wild wolves are often seen here, and the howling of wolves can often be heard at night.
In order to avoid being intruded by wild beasts, this group of young people lit a large bonfire while sleeping. Who knew that as soon as the bonfire started burning, they felt a flower and a white light flash in front of them, and all the bonfires were extinguished.
Not to mention, just as the fire disappeared, these seven or eight young people all lost consciousness. When they woke up the next morning, their tents were gone. Except for the rations they had brought out for the day, all the supplies they brought were missing.
Already.
This scene frightened the young people out of their wits. They no longer dared to stay in the mountains and hurried out of the mountains. The incident spread widely, and almost all the villages outside Shennongjia knew about it.
Since then, whenever they see people who want to enter Shennongjia, people in these villages will kindly remind them not to light fires in the mountains.
"With a flash of white light, the bonfire went out?"
Ye Tian secretly said in his heart: "It is impossible to refine Qi and transform into a god. Moreover, when the Qi is released, you won't see any white light. Even a fire extinguisher is not that fast, right?"
Thinking of this, Ye Tian felt a sudden burst of ecstasy in his heart. This method must have been done by a cultivator, and it happened last year, which shows that there are experts in this vast mountain.
"Lao Qi, the food is cooked, do you want a few sips?"
While Lao Qi and Ye Tian were chatting, Sister-in-law Qi had already stir-fried several dishes with her hands and feet, including scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, stir-fried wild bamboo shoots with pork, and a wild vegetable soup, which was full of farmhouse characteristics.
"Okay, let's have a few drinks, Brother Ye. I still have some snake wine I brewed last year. It's a good time to drink it this month. If you want to go to the mountains to play, it can also drive away some of the wind and cold!"
Lao Qi, whose surname is from the mountains, went back to the house and took out a small wine jar, took three bowls, and poured a bowl of wine for Ye Tian and his wife.
"Jiji!"
Smelling the smell of wine, Maotou, who had been sleeping on Ye Tian's neck, moved his nose, and his sapphire-like eyes started to move.
"You...are you a mink?"
Lao Qi, who originally thought that the thing around Ye Tian's neck was a fur scarf, was startled by Mao Tou's actions and almost knocked over the wine jar.
"Haha, Brother Qi, I have raised it since I was a child. It can be used as a scarf in winter. It doesn't bite, so don't be afraid."
Ye Tian smiled and picked up the wine bowl, put it to Mao Tou's mouth, and said, "After drinking, go to bed quickly. Who taught you to drink?"
Ye Tian lived at home for a short time, but he didn't know that Ye Dongping was a good drinker and would drink a little at almost every meal, while Mao Tou was a child with a surname of Xi, who was very curious about everything he saw, and he learned to do it over time.
drink wine.
"Chichi!" Maotou stuck out his tongue and licked the wine bowl. He seemed to smell the smell of snakes. He sucked it with his small mouth and drank up every drop of the bowl of wine.
"Hey, Brother Ye, you are so smart, you Diaoer?" When Lao Qi saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out of his head, but in his eyes there was only envy, but not much curiosity.
After living in the mountains for a long time, animals have spiritual surnames in their eyes. Some villagers have rescued injured monkeys, and after the injuries healed, the monkeys would pick wild fruits to thank them.
There are even people who raise pythons in the mountains. This thing is better than raising a dog. It can not only look after the house and the yard, but also catch mice. In summer, if a snake is in the room, the whole house will feel cool.
"Young man, this guy does have a spiritual surname."
Ye Tian glared at Mao Tou dissatisfiedly. The little guy who originally wanted to beg for a drink suddenly retracted his head into the fur angrily and looked like a scarf again.
"After living in the mountains for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a spiritual animal."
Lao Qi was amazed by Maotou's behavior. He could also feel at this moment that the easy-going big boy in front of him might have some background. After all, not ordinary people could afford to keep a pet like this.
Ye Tian didn't want to discuss Maotou anymore, so he immediately picked up the wine bowl and said, "Brother Qi, thank you for telling us so much. Come on, let me offer you a bowl of wine."
After drinking the wine in the bowl, when he saw the big hiking bag Zhou Xiaotian put on the ground, Lao Qi immediately told him: "Little brother, you two go in and play for a day and then come out. It will be December soon, maybe something will happen."
It will snow by then.”
Although the average temperature in the Shennongjia area is 11 degrees Celsius, when the first snow comes, the temperature will plummet to about minus ten degrees.
"I know, when I come back, I might even bother Brother Qi with a bowl of wine." Ye Tian nodded with a smile, took the rice handed by Sister Qi and ate it.
After hearing so many anecdotes about the mountains, Ye Tian could no longer contain his excitement. He could vaguely feel that this trip to the mountains might allow him to see a different world.
