Chapter 768: The Heart of the Fetal God (Thirty-four)

Zhu Jiuqing inexplicably attended a harvest banquet, finally had a full meal, and was pulled by the girls to dance around the campfire.

The scorching firelight illuminated the laughing faces, and the aroma of wine and meat filled the air, making even his head dizzy.

The feast did not end until the stars came out.

Zhu Jiuqing stumbled back to the house and fell asleep. In his dream, he still dreamed of the tender beef, the roasted lamb dripping with fat, and the mushrooms dancing hand in hand beside the boiling pot...

This village is so nice...

But when can I meet that adult?

The next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

When the door opened, a woman stood at the door with a calm expression: "Pack up, the master wants to see you."

Zhu Jiuqing quickly washed up, and with a bit of nervousness and anticipation, followed her all the way to the yurt outside the village.

"Sir, what's that Zhu Ziqing's name..."

Zhu Jiuqing reminded quietly: "Zhu Jiuqing."

"Oh, Zhu Jiuqing is here."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the "Miss Liu" that Zhu Jiuqing knew came out and said:

"come in."

Zhu Jiuqing's heart trembled, and he quickly pulled himself together and walked into the house.

He saw the little girl sitting in the middle of a pile of metal sheets, holding a knife in her small hands, carving something on them intently. She raised her eyes when she saw him coming.

Zhu Jiuqing now had to admit that this little girl might be the teacher he had been looking forward to meeting, but he still felt a little bit unbelievable in his heart.

"Did you bring it?" the little girl suddenly asked.

The childish voice brought Zhu Jiuqing back to his senses. He quickly untied the heavy backpack on his back and took out a silver object that looked like a big pot, but it was engraved with intricate array patterns.

The little girl raised her eyes, glanced at it, and was about to take it.

"Be careful, it's a bit heavy..."

Before Zhu Jiuqing could finish his reminder, the little girl had already firmly held the big pot that seemed heavy to him, and he couldn't help swallowing.

Watching the little girl carefully examining the intricate array pattern, Zhu Jiuqing felt a little nervous for some reason, and even his palms were sweating.

Finally, the little girl nodded.

"You did it right."

Zhu Jiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help asking: "Sir, what exactly is this thing?"

"Have you used it?"

Zhu Jiuqing hesitated and nodded.

"Did you hear that?"

Zhu Jiuqing nodded again.

"I didn't hear anything at first, so I was also confused, what on earth was this..."

"Until one day, I suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the pot, so I leaned in to listen, but I couldn't hear it clearly, so I..."

Speaking of which, Zhu Jiuqing still felt a little embarrassed, but still said with a red face:
"I put the pot on my head, and then I finally heard something..."

Zhu Jiuqing frowned as he spoke. He felt that the sounds were totally out of tune and there was no meaning when put together.

"Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, the directions from which the sounds were coming were very clear, so I was able to find this place step by step. Otherwise, I would have almost lost my way in the blizzard and fog."

Thinking about it, Zhu Jiuqing still feels a lingering fear.

After hearing this, the little girl showed her tiny baby teeth and an innocent smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Do you want to know what that is?"

Zhu Jiuqing nodded without hesitation.

The little girl waved: "Come with me."

Zhu Jiuqing then followed the little girl out of the yurt and watched her ride on a colorfully decorated mule.

"Miss Liu" was leading the mule beside her, motioning Zhu Jiuqing to follow.

Walking towards the mountainside, the snow had long melted, revealing large areas of new green on both sides, dotted with wild flowers. The wild vegetables on the roadside seemed to be growing particularly lush, and occasionally you could see clusters of mushrooms popping up.

Danjin occasionally stopped and picked them into his pocket.

Go all the way to the halfway point of the mountain and turn into a ridge.

Zhu Jiuqing didn't understand at first, but when he stepped onto the ridge and overlooked the valley, he was stunned.

There was a small silver arc-shaped surface in the valley, like a silver lake. A closer look revealed that this smooth surface was made up of pieces of metal, reflecting the sunlight.

Zhu Jiuqing was shocked when he heard the little girl whisper, "Lower your head."

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and immediately lowered his head. Then the big pot was placed on his head.

At this moment, he heard those vague and chaotic voices again.

However, unlike before, the sounds seemed to become clearer.

He even seemed to be able to hear some whispering syllables. Although he couldn't make sense of them according to his language combination, they seemed to imply some deep meaning.

"This is……"

Zhu Jiuqing was stunned. As he listened, he couldn't help but feel a shudder from the soul.

It was as if he was in a vast void, and these beings were in the darkness of the void. He could not see them, or they were very far away, but he could sense their omnipresence, as if they were whispering in his ears.

Only the little girl's voice was heard entering the void, soft and tender, but with a strange power that pulled him out of his nameless panic.

"This is Tianyin." She said softly.

……

In this way, Zhu Jiuqing stayed in Baicun.

Living alone in a tent on the edge of a valley.

He followed the adults to hammer the metal sheets day and night, expanding the "lake" in the valley bit by bit.

When he learned that this "lake" was created bit by bit by the little girl Liu Sheng - no, it should be said that it was created bit by bit by Mother Earth, he was shocked beyond words.

I don't know how much time it took to reach its current state, but even so, it is far from covering the entire valley.

According to what the adults said, when this valley is completely covered with these metal sheets, perhaps we will be able to truly hear the sound of heaven.

Zhu Jiuqing only now understood that this "lake" could receive sounds from the sky, which passed through the processor made by the adults and were transmitted to a receiver that looked like an iron pot.

It’s just that both of them need to be constantly optimized, as adults say, “to capture effective information from the noise of the universe and decode it.”

Zhu Jiuqing didn't quite understand, but just followed what he was told.

As if obsessed, he wore the pot every day, wherever he went, unwilling to miss any sound from the sky.

It even sparked a craze for wearing iron pots in the village.

In this regard, Liu Sheng only felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

However, Zhu Jiuqing certainly would not have just this one mission in Bai Village. In exchange for food and supplies, he would also make better farm tools, kitchen utensils and even weapons for the villagers.

As the protection range of Mother Earth gradually expanded to the entire Chagan grassland, villages from all directions began to worship her, and Zhu Jiuqing's foundry business also flourished.

For this reason, he had to accept disciples, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take care of them.

He also wanted to build the lake as soon as possible!
Fortunately, there are still many people willing to learn these.

The most outstanding apprentice among them was Yunniang, who was originally the craftsman's wife. Perhaps she had learned a lot secretly in the past, so she was able to get the hang of it very quickly.

Among the younger generation, Luzhuer is the one who learns the fastest.

As more and more people came, Tiangong Workshop on the side of the mountain gradually took shape.

The villagers who joined Tiangongfang to study, in addition to serving the people on Chagan grassland, also joined in the construction of the "lake".

The gradually expanding metal lake is also called "Tian'er Lake".

Therefore, this grand plan was finally named "Tian'er Lake Project".

The raw materials of Tianer Lake include not only the scrap copper and iron collected daily, but also the star source crystal ore from the nearby mountains.

Star Source Crystal was originally one of the important materials that Snow Mountain has always offered, but due to the crude mining methods, low efficiency, and frequent accidents, the quantity has always been small and very rare.

Fortunately, only a tiny bit of doping can make a huge difference in metal foil.

However, with the birth of Tiangongfang's new mining tools, safety has been greatly improved, consumables have been reduced, and Star Source Crystals have naturally been continuously sent to the construction of Tianer Lake.

So Tianer Lake expanded day by day.

As a result, earth-shaking changes took place on the Chagan grassland.

People gradually became able to have enough to eat, and even had many more gadgets to make life more convenient. The flow of materials across the grasslands also became faster due to the birth of flying cars, and trade flourished again.

Women are no longer confined to their homes as they were in the past, but are following the example of villages like Baicun where women are in charge and are going out of their homes together.

More importantly, as long as you visit the Temple of Mother Earth, you will have the opportunity to be taught the way of cultivation by Mother Earth's sister "Lady Liu". With the power and the protection of Lady Earth Mother, you will not be so desperate when facing the weirdness.

Therefore, this year of change is called——

The first year of Earth Mother.
