There is a village gathered at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. Without exception, they all have the surname Chen. Chen Village has stayed at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain for an unknown length of time. Even the oldest person cannot remember it. The oldest person among them is Wu Zun. Lived a thousand years.
A thousand years can play out countless joys and sorrows in the world, and can also change dynasties several times. For this small mountain village, there is no difference between a thousand years and one year. People living in it rarely go out, and it is very rare. Few outsiders can come in, because of the boundless weak water outside Zhongshan, and only the mountain gods in the temple on the mountain can take them out.
The mountain god is also surnamed Chen. As for whether he is from Chen Village, no one knows. It is also because of him that the people from Chen Village can settle down in Zhongshan, because Zhongshan is so big that you can walk from one end of the mountain to the other. On one side, for two whole years, the other side of the mountain is still weak water, where goose feathers cannot float and bamboo rafts cannot float.
Except for the mountain gods, only the divine attendants can fly over the weak water and see the human world outside.
The gods are also selected from Chen Village. As long as they become the gods of the mountain god, they can gain extremely powerful power in a short time. This power is not given by the mountain god, because every villager is a descendant of the god. The mountain god Control holds the key to unlocking the power within them.
In fact, if they could go out, they would know how different they are. Even ordinary villagers in Chen Village can run in the direction of the setting sun for a month without sleep, and can fight with most ferocious beasts with bare hands. However, they don't have these in Zhongshan. Not enough. Every once in a while, there will be a tide of beasts in Zhongshan. Without the protection of the mountain god, Chen Village would be razed to the ground.
Although the mountain god has always protected Chen Cun, even when choosing the god's attendants, he would not come down. Instead, he asked the witch master to select someone and send them to the temple on the mountain. The witch master can communicate with the mountain gods and cure diseases for the villagers, but what the villagers fear the most is that there is a transparent crystal ball in the witch master's room, from which he can see the outside world and the human world.
The young people in the village all yearn for the outside world, even more than becoming servants of the gods and gaining the powerful power and knowledge that belongs to them.
Because Zhongshan is big, but also small. The big one is the territory, and the small one is the boring life.
It is difficult for young minds to accept boredom. They wish that their own breathing is the breathing of heaven and earth, and they wish to experience any imaginable or unimaginable exciting experience.
Among all the young people who peeked into the room of the witch master, one boy was particularly calm, because even though he followed his friends outside the room of the witch master, he just sat quietly under a big tree, looking down at the ants on the ground. It seems like ants moving is interesting enough. The wooden door of the witch master's room creaked open, and the peeping young people dispersed. Only he stood up, respectfully saluted the witch master, and showed a humble smile.
"Chen Jinchan, what do you think the ants are doing when they move?" Wu Zun's voice was as clear as autumn water, clean and long-lasting. She looked the same as the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls in the village, and more beautiful than them, but Wu Zun There is always an infinite coldness in her eyes. Teenagers will easily have nightmares at night when they see her eyes.
Even the adult villagers did not dare to look directly at her.
Chen Jinchan is an exception. He is not actually from Chencun, but came to Zhongshan by drifting along the weak water when he was a baby. Nothing can float in weak water, but the wooden barrel containing him can float in weak water. He was also quiet in the barrel, neither crying nor fussing. The only souvenir on his body was a golden cicada carved from topaz.
People in Chen Village rarely see outsiders, so Chen Jinchan's appearance caused a sensation. He was different from other naughty children and was loved by the villagers. However, as Chen Jinchan grew up, Da, the village found that he was a sickly child, with little strength and unable to hunt.
In fact, his strength is not that small, but it is indeed much smaller than other people in Chencun.
The adults were afraid that he would be in danger, so the teenagers would take him with them to any group activities. Fifteen years passed in a flash, and Chen Jinchan seemed to be used to such a life.
The young men who dispersed did not go too far, but looked at Chen Jinchan from a distance, fearing that he would be reprimanded by the witch master.
Because Chen Jinchan is very quiet and has a temperament that is different from theirs, he has gained a lot of popularity.
After hearing Wu Zun's question, Chen Jinchan replied gently: "Wu Zun, I have observed ants moving many times and found that every time they move from a lower place to a higher place, it will rain soon. I think this The phenomenon is interesting, so I’m thinking about it.”
Wu Zun said: "Even the humblest creatures have senses. Although ants are small, their senses are particularly keen, so they can predict some dangers from the heaven and earth and prepare for escape in advance. It is not easy for you to notice this phenomenon. , If you want to learn knowledge, you can become my teacher, if you like."
Chen Jinchan was a little surprised, because he was an outsider in Chen Village, and the witch master did not accept disciples. He did not expect that such an opportunity would fall on him. Even though he was always indifferent, he was also a little overjoyed, and hurriedly Nod in agreement.
The sorcerer said calmly: "According to etiquette, you need to be bound to become a disciple. Just go to Ruushui and get a fish for me."
Of course, Chen Jinchan had no reason not to agree. He said goodbye to Wu Zun and went out. His friends gathered around him before he told the details, which attracted a lot of envy. However, they were worried that something would happen to him in Weoshui. Volunteered to help him.
Chen Jinchan refused. He knew that if he asked others for help, Wu Zun would not be too happy when he found out.
He borrowed a set of fishing gear and a raincoat, and quickly walked to Weishui, because although he had never read a book, he also knew the principle of long nights and dreams, but as soon as he walked to Weishui, the wind and rain started, even though he had expected it in advance. It was raining, so I didn't expect him to come back so soon. Fortunately, he was wearing a raincoat.
In fact, because of his quiet personality, he is better than his friends in fishing. Even after every time he throws the hook into the weak water, he is calm and can feel the various undercurrents under the water, and even the fish taking the bait. The picture could clearly appear in his mind, which he never told anyone.
It was just something strange today. No fish appeared in the weak water. Then he saw something even more incredible. At some point, a handsome young man appeared not far away, caught a fish, and put it on the lake. In the fish basket next to him, Chen Jinchan opened his eyes wide and raised his perception to the extreme. He found that the weak water was definitely empty and there were absolutely no fish.
He thought he was dazzled, but a handsome young man not far away caught a second fish. She also smiled at him, like spring breeze and summer rain, which made Chen Jinchan feel warm and comfortable in her heart.
