Calabash Fairy

Chapter 100 Mountain God Festival

At this moment, no one knows what Xuan Shui said, but the white snake's hundred-zhang-long body suddenly burst out of the river and bit towards the shore with its bloodshot eyes.

Xuan Shui was clearly prepared, quickly throwing out several thunder talismans. Amidst the booming thunder, streaks of silver lightning shot out from the talismans, striking the white snake!

In an instant, a terrified and painful scream echoed across the river. Without hesitation, Xuan Shui threw two more Thunderstrike Talismans at the white snake, completely engulfing its form in a burst of lightning, and its aura vanished rapidly.

As the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos in Fang Yan's eyes slowly disappeared, the scene also rapidly receded into the distance.

However, Fang Yan's expression was clearly somewhat strange at this moment.

"This thousand-year-old white snake demon with a severed tail is actually the one that escaped from White Horse Ravine back then? That's interesting..."

Back then, Junheng fought with the two snake demons from Baimajian. The Black Xuan Snake was killed on the spot, and the White Snake escaped along the waterway. Unexpectedly, the White Snake went through some unknown experience and actually went to seize the Xuanshui Cave. Now, Baimajian has long since disappeared, and the White Snake has also perished there. The events of that year have come to a complete end.

However, it was just a thousand-year-old demon after all, so there was no need for him to care too much.

Fang Yan quickly put the matter out of his mind and began to activate the Spring Returns to All Things Divine Power, causing a verdant breeze containing boundless vitality to blow across the entire Qingfeng Secret Realm.

At this moment, even the spirit fish in the lake leaped up with great joy, their colorful scales radiating dazzling light.

Inside Xiahe Village.

Yang Xiaochuan, who had grown a beard, was sitting in the main seat in the room, looking at Xu Hu and the others in front of him.

The clinic is now managed by a kind-looking middle-aged man.

Grandpa Ge is getting old. Although he is still in good health, he can no longer be expected to manage the pharmacy, which is such a stressful and demanding job.

At this time, the old man mostly stayed at the academy, teaching the children how to identify herbs and basking in the sun. He lived a comfortable life.

Although Wang Shi's temples are gray, he can still wield the iron hammer and remains the manager of the iron foundry. However, in recent years he has begun to focus on cultivating the next generation.

Over the years, the village's elders have gradually withdrawn from the core, and these matters are mostly managed by the younger generation who have grown up.

"Brother Xu Hu, I'll have to trouble you again regarding this trip to Redwood Village to harvest redwood."

"Please rest assured, village chief, leave this matter to me."

Xu Hu nodded slightly upon hearing this. Even though he had some gray hair and his strength was gradually weakening, he was still the same Xu Hu who could fight a bear!

Yang Xiaochuan nodded with a smile and looked at Yang Xiaoshan, who also had a beard, not far away.

"Xiaoshan, the matter of expanding the village should probably be put on the agenda in the coming years. As the number of children in the village continues to increase, we should also think more about their future."

Yang Xiaoshan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Next, we'll discuss the Mountain God Festival."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became serious.

"After discussions among several elders in the village and the temple keeper, starting this year, the day of the autumn harvest will be designated as the day of our village's mountain god worship."

"Now there are only two months left until this year's Mountain God Festival, everyone must prepare well and absolutely no mistakes can be made!"

"yes!"

As Yang Xiaochuan methodically gave instructions, everyone present accepted them and left, leaving only Xu Hu and the three Yang brothers behind. Two chubby-cheeked little guys also rushed in.

"father!!"

Yang Xiaochuan looked at his two youngest sons with a smile, stepped forward, and picked them up, one in each arm.

The other three watched this scene with smiles on their faces.

Besides Xu Hu, the other two brothers in the Yang family are also married and have had children in recent years, living a happy and harmonious life.

They would often take the children up the mountain to visit Yang Sheng, and at the same time ask the mountain god to bless these children so they could grow up smoothly.

In fact, Xu Hu himself is not bad either, and Xu Zhian and Xu Zhiqing are very filial to him.

Especially since Xu Zhian got married the year before last and had a son last year, the baby's first words were to call him "Grandpa," which brought tears to Hu Yang's eyes, who hadn't cried since the passing of the old village chief.

"Brother Xu Hu, my father has brought a decree from the mountain god. When you go to Redwood Village, you may bring a statue of the mountain god with you and leave it in the ruins of Redwood Village along with the incense talisman."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hu nodded solemnly.

Since it was given by the Mountain God, he would keep it in mind and carry it out resolutely.

A few days later, a group of people from Xiahe Village quickly set off for Hongmu Village, which had been reduced to ruins.

However, compared to the horse-drawn carts that were pulled from various households to make up the numbers back then, the number of horse-drawn carts in Xiahe Village today is significantly higher.

The steps are not only more neat and aesthetically pleasing, but most importantly, their sturdiness and stability are far superior to before.

The carriages prepared to transport the mahogany were all pulled by two strong horses and driven by a villager who had learned to ride. Even on the rugged mountain road, they were much faster.

Standing atop the mountain, Yang Sheng watched as carriages left the village and drove into the peach orchard, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Now, under the protection of the mountain god, every family in Xiahe Village is thriving, a far cry from the miserable state of the past. You must know that back then, many families, like Qiu'er, lost their parents at a young age...

Looking down from the mountaintop, one can see that in recent years, villagers have renovated their houses, built livestock sheds, and even dug fish ponds, creating a bustling and vibrant village scene.

Since the mountain god bestowed the incense talisman, they have been able to go to the previous five villages to collect salt, redwood, iron ore, and so on, and the development of the villages will not be restricted.

Thanks to Yang Dongdong's efforts and the support of several elderly people in the village, the academy is now on the right track, and most of the children in the village are sent to the academy to study when they reach a certain age.

As the first generation of students at the academy grew up, they gradually discovered that what the academy taught, whether it was arithmetic, driving, or other skills, was very useful.

"My three sons have not disappointed me; they are all outstanding, which puts my mind at ease."

Yang Sheng smiled, but after a moment the smile faded, and he sighed softly.

Over the years, he has seen many old friends pass away. Of his generation, only a handful, including Ge Ling and Wang Shi, remain in the village. But now, Ge Ling doesn't have much time left to live...

Admittedly, birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable in this world, but seeing off those familiar faces still made him feel somewhat sad.

However, Yang Sheng insisted on accompanying the two underworld messengers to see his old friends off on their final journey.
