Chapter 278 The Spirits Nurtured by the Mountains and Forests (33)

"what?"

Just as Li Boyang wanted to broaden the perspective of the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] to a more distant place.

He paused suddenly, then brought the camera back to Lijia Village.

"what happened?"

Noticing this, Xi Luo quickly asked.

"I almost forgot something..."

The image of the "Landscape of Mountains and Rivers" rotated slowly.

Li Boyang eventually parked it at the "Mountain God Reservoir" on the back mountain of Lijia Village.

After so many years of development, the Shanshen Reservoir has changed dramatically.

This place boasts the most complete and largest water conservancy infrastructure among the hundreds of mountains.

The mountain people also built a series of workshops and factories around this reservoir.

I have to mention this here.

The Mountain God Reservoir in Lijia Village is arguably the closest reservoir to Yunmengze.

In addition, due to the red carp's bias, this place not only has abundant water storage all year round.

Even various aquatic creatures appeared in an endless stream, creating a vibrant scene of life and competition among all things.

Out of reverence for the red carp, the mountain people generally do not venture deep into the reservoir.

They simply built various canals and bridges along the edge of the reservoir.

After all, everyone knows that the reservoir was built by the mountain people.

However, if we really trace its origins and its current scale, we can't ignore the maintenance by Li Boyang and that water god.

Occasionally, some daring children would sneak away from their parents to the vicinity of the reservoir and feed the human-faced fish in the water with various kinds of food.

Similarly, whenever a child unfortunately falls into the nearby canals or tributaries, the human-faced fish will immediately lift them up and bring them back to shore.

Over time, this has led to the Shanshen Reservoir receiving treatment that is quite different from other reservoirs.

Besides routine maintenance and sacrifices.

Whenever something happens, the mountain people will first communicate with the red carp.

Only after obtaining the other party's consent will the next step be taken.

From Chiyu's perspective, she didn't really care that much, and even found the mountain people a bit annoying.

However, the mountain people were so enthusiastic that they built a huge shrine near the reservoir to enshrine the statue of the Red Carp.

Behind this shrine dedicated to the Red Carp, a large patch of gourd vines has quietly grown out of nowhere.

Unlike the gourds that Li Boyang optimized and selected, which had already been completely "tooled".

These gourd vines still maintain the most primitive and rugged way of growing, absorbing nutrients from the soil within a radius of 100 meters, but no gourds have ever grown.

Moreover, the resilience of those gourd vines far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

At first, some mountain people tried to remove the gourd vines.

To their astonishment, they discovered that ordinary knives and axes could not cut through the gourd vines at all.

When the mountain people realized that the gourd vines were affecting the shrine and decided to uproot them, the red carp appeared on its own initiative.

The red carp told them that it had deliberately planted these gourd vines here.

They only grow near the shrine and will not encroach on fields or water sources, so the mountain people should not worry about them.

Thus, these gourd vines remained as they were, and even gained a touch of mystery because of the red carp's words.

However, Li Boyang was very clear that these gourd vines were not without fruit.

Rather, it is their fruit that is hidden deep within the gourd vine, a spirit nurtured by the mountains and forests.

…… ...

This is not a canal built by the mountain people, but a stream that flows naturally through Lijia Village.

However, after so many years of expansion and renovation, this stream has long become one of the main waterways of Lijia Village, supplying water to this village of thousands of people.

And right in the middle of such a major river channel.

A huge one-horned buffalo was swimming leisurely, with only its head and half of its back floating on the surface of the water.

When the villagers along the river saw the large water buffalo, they just laughed and cursed, and then ignored it.

Because all the villagers in Lijia Village knew that this big water buffalo was brought back by Li Boyang.

Although this big water buffalo, besides liking to tease children, also really likes to be lazy.

But judging from its human-like eyes and behavior, this water buffalo is either a god or a spirit.

So as long as this big water buffalo remembers to go home at night.

Even the usually strict Chen Yun was very lenient with it and basically didn't care where it went during the day.

"Huh? What are you still doing here?"

Just as the unicorn closed its eyes to rest and enjoy the pleasure of the water flowing over its body, a slightly shrill voice suddenly rang in its ears.

"Hmm? A ginseng doll?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, the unicorn saw a familiar ginseng doll emerging from the soil.

Of course, the unicorn recognized the ginseng doll.

Or rather, among these hundreds of mountains and rivers, there are very few deities who do not know about this ginseng baby.

Although this ginseng doll is not a deity, it has a lifespan longer than that of a deity.

Even by the most conservative estimate, this ginseng doll has lived for at least a thousand years.

Meanwhile, its adopted son, Jiao, is also the most capable henchman under the Five-Colored Dragon Dog Panhu. He even participated in the battle to hunt down the second prince of Wuzhiqi a few years ago.

"What 'hmm'? Your baby is about to be born! Don't you know?"

Hearing the ginseng doll's clamor, the unicorn instinctively opened its mouth to retort.

"You old geezer, I'm still single, where would I get a baby from?"

"If you get the urge to be a father again and take those annoying bulldogs from the village away, I'm sure they'll definitely..."

Before the unicorn could finish speaking, the ginseng doll asked a question with a speechless expression.

"You old ox, you haven't forgotten about that gourd vine, have you?"

After being reminded by the ginseng doll, the unicorn, which was about to refute, immediately widened its eyes and stood up from the stream.

"A gourd vine? The gourd vine has borne fruit!?"

Unable to hide the astonishment and surprise on his face, the unicorn quickly went ashore and came to the ginseng baby's side.

"You should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, I would have come up!"

Without giving the ginseng doll a chance to refute, the unicorn bull hoisted it onto its back, then stomped its foot on the ground and began to run wildly.

rumbling...

The commotion caused by the unicorn was too great.

The villagers living in the nearby terraced fields all stared at him in astonishment.

However, the unicorn, in its ecstasy, didn't care about any of that. It walked uphill as if on flat ground, and a faint blue auspicious cloud even appeared beneath its feet.

Obviously, it was because they were just too excited.

For a moment, the unicorn forgot to restrain itself and used Li Boyang's signature "Soaring Through the Clouds" supernatural power.
