Chapter 72: Lemon in the Valley (14) From a distance, drifting ice...

Liu Binghai ran to the vicinity of his training forest.

From a distance, he saw a ball of white light and shadow outside his forest. It should be a huge rock, but it seemed like a spirit and had not yet fully formed. After a while, the flickering shadow faded away and turned into a complete stone, half a person's height, as white as snow and emitting clear light.

The forest also seemed to be illuminated by a ball of light.

Liu Binghai was stunned.

She pushed the bamboo away and ran to her own bamboo forest. She saw that many large mushrooms had grown out in an instant, growing densely in groups.

Liu Binghai took a look and returned to the outside of the bamboo forest.

My mother and the little girl who cooked were still standing outside the woods.

The little girl's name was Hua'er. Liu Binghai asked her, "Hua'er, when did you find this big rock?"

Huaer whispered, "Just now, I came back from fetching water and saw this stone. It was big and shiny, and... it was swaying."

It's swaying, is it a stone spirit?

Liu Binghai asked her again, "Did anyone else see it?"

Hua Er shook her head, "Probably not."

Liu Binghai warned, "Don't spread this matter outside, understand?"

Huaer nodded nervously, "Don't worry, Miss. I won't tell anyone a word."

Liu Binghai is very confident in Huaer. She has been well behaved in the valley for many years, and nothing went wrong in the original plot.

She said to Hua'er, "You should go back and rest first. I have something to say to my mother."

Huaer nodded again and left.

After Hua'er left, Liu Binghai said to his mother, "Mother, are you still unwilling to tell me now?"

The mother looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated.

After a while, he said, "This has nothing to do with the big rock."

Liu Binghai touched the smooth stone and said, "If you don't tell me, it might cause serious consequences in the future."

The spiritual power of the original owner's body had never been mined due to greed.

Now, she practices martial arts diligently and seems to have mined some different spiritual powers.

But she always felt strange. When she was in seclusion practicing, she didn't think her talent was so outstanding. She was not a gifted person, so how could she be able to grow these strange mushrooms.

Unless, it was the lemon fruit that was soured by its original owner to produce extremely powerful strength, which was what she originally thought.

The lemon fruits in this forest have their own spiritual power. The sourer they are, the stronger the spiritual power.

The original owner was a big lemon spirit, and the fruit he made from his own sourness was extremely powerful.

However, she still felt something was wrong. She picked a basket of fruits and sent it to her mother. If it was about the fruits, why didn't she see anything unusual in her mother's training forest?

It is clear that it is not about the fruit.

Unless, something happened to her body halfway through, so she is different from ordinary people.

She placed her hand on her mother's arm and said, "Mom, just tell me with peace of mind. I'm grown up now and I need to understand my own body better."

Seeing her persistence, the woman thought for a while and felt that she should know about her own situation, so she said, "You did have a rare disease called leprosy when you were a child."

Leprosy?

"What is leprosy?"

The mother thought for a moment and said, "It's a kind of measles, but your measles is different from other measles. Other measles only cause small red spots, but your measles are star-shaped. You have a high fever all day long, and after the fever, your skin seems to have changed. You weren't this fair and translucent when you were a child, but since you got this disease, your temperament has changed a lot. You used to be very well-behaved."

"Oh?" Liu Binghai smiled. "You were so well-behaved before, but now you've become so unruly."

Mother sighed, "When you were little, you practiced martial arts diligently and were very respectful to your parents and elders. But after you recovered from your illness, you stopped practicing and became more interested in your children's affairs. You're not as warm and friendly as you were as a child. Father treated you as a sickly child and didn't want to argue with you. He didn't dare mention this to anyone else. Perhaps only Fan Huacheng knew about this, which is why Father wanted you to be on good terms with him."

When she was a child, she suffered from leprosy and had a high fever and fell into a coma. Fan Huacheng carried her out of the valley to secretly seek medical treatment, but they didn't find any good doctors. After the symptoms of the disease were cured, her temperament changed and she seemed like a different person.

An incurable disease will make you half disabled even if it is cured.

Mother sighed again, "Don't mention this to anyone else. No one in the valley knows about it, and your father doesn't want you to know. He indulged you when you acted up later because he loved you. He told others that you were arrogant and told them not to bother with you."

“Why don’t you tell the truth?”

Mother said, "I'm afraid of ruining your reputation. That's not a good thing."

After hearing this, Liu Binghai was silent for a while, thought about it, and smiled to himself.

"If that's the case, then isn't this reputation for being arrogant and unreasonable worse than being sick?"

Mother shook her head. "That's not entirely true. Our valley focuses on cultivation. You're sick, so it's not easy for you to cultivate. The valley won't allow you to cultivate at will. If you take risks in cultivation, you might..."

Liu Binghai smiled and asked, "What could it be?"

The mother looked at the big rock and stopped talking.

In the past, I just said that if you take risks in practicing, there might be some problems.

The strange thought it was her body.

When she first decided to practice cultivation, she discussed it with her husband, worried that her body wouldn't be able to handle it. But now, she realized that so much time had passed, and that cultivation should have no problem at all. If she continued to act recklessly, it would be disastrous.

It's a good thing that she can return to the right path. As long as she is healthy, I don't want to stop her.

Since she resumed her cultivation these days, she has also observed her daughter for several days and did not see anything unusual in her body, so she felt relieved.

I didn't expect there would be something strange in the forest.

Liu Binghai touched the big stone. It was smooth and cold. He wondered if there were a lot of fine jade hidden inside.

If you take risks while practicing, and something strange happens, then is it a good thing?

Liu Binghai said to his mother, "Don't worry, mother. I will continue to practice. Please keep the forest secret from father. The fewer people who know, the better."

The old woman nodded, and after much consideration, she touched her hand and said, "Zhuang'er, I think you should get married early, become a wife as soon as possible, and give birth to a boy or a girl."

Liu Binghai smiled and said, "Now, I'm afraid I can't get married anymore."

She has a serious illness and now something strange has happened. How can she get married with peace of mind without finding out the truth?

The old woman was at a loss, but she understood what Liu Binghai meant. She opened and closed her mouth and stopped talking.

"There's one thing my daughter doesn't understand."

The woman looked up at the drifting ice sea.

"Since I'm ill, why don't my parents stop me from practicing again?"

The woman smiled, took her hand, and spoke to her carefully about what she had just thought about. "Since so much time has passed, we don't want you to continue to stray from the right path. Hongzhuang, do you know how worried your past behavior made your father and mother? I secretly saw that you were in good health, so I let you go. If you can truly enter the path of cultivation, it will be a real comfort to your mother."

Liu Binghai smiled and nodded, "I understand, mother, don't worry, I'm fine, Gulala will be fine too, and I will definitely do my best."

The mother and daughter chatted for a few minutes and then went back to their rooms to rest, but the strange things in the forest were still difficult to explain.

After a few days, the big stone became white and bright and could be used as a street lamp.

Liu Binghai wanted to move it into the woods. It was too conspicuous outside and would be discovered one day.

But it was too heavy and she couldn't push it. She wanted to find someone to help. After thinking about it, the only person who could help was Yao Wutian.

Only he knows the secrets of the forest, so it is safest to call him.

She called Yao Wutian and asked him to help move the stones.

Yao Wutian was dumbfounded when he saw the big rock. It stood abruptly on both sides of the bamboo like half a person. It was big and eye-catching. How could it be okay for outsiders to see it?

He clasped the stone with both arms and exerted great skill to move it into the bamboo.

Not to mention the icy sea, even if he used his profound skills, it would be difficult for him to move the huge rock.

Fortunately, she knew to call him.

After placing the half-man-high boulder in a corner, he asked Liu Binghai, "You didn't let outsiders see this stone, did you?"

"No," she replied.

"You didn't tell Fan Huacheng either?" He raised his voice.

Liu Binghai glanced at him and said, "Why tell him?"

Yao Wutian nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude. It seemed that he was much more open-minded.

Such a big thing must not be known to others.

He looked at the stone carefully.

It looks like the claw stone tributed from the south, or the crescent stone from the mountains. It is so translucent that it can be used as a lamp.

Looking at her forest again, it seemed that a lot of new things had been unearthed.

She is so magical... Who is she?

Liu Bing Hai Tuan sat among the mushrooms, her long hair loose and untied. All the mushrooms around her came because of her, making her look like a mushroom fairy.

Could she be a mushroom fairy... Yao Wutian thought.

Soon, Liu Binghai dispelled this speculation. She brewed a pot of lemonade, filled a cup, and pushed it to Yao Wutian. "Want some?"

Xian doesn't drink lemon fruit juice.

Yao Wutian took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

I just wanted to taste it, but I almost got kicked out of the training forest because of the sour taste.

He lay on the ground, looked at the big mushroom, and patted the ground. He was really puzzled, so he just reminded her not to let others know and not to attract people from outside the valley.

Liu Binghai already had a rough guess about the original owner's life experience, but he was not sure.

If nothing unexpected happens, in the original plot, Red Child's attack is related to the water and soil of the valley, and her own spiritual power and supernatural powers.

Although the heroine in the original plot was uneducated and failed to realize the extraordinary talents given to her by spiritual power, perhaps that was just God's protection for her.

Perhaps, since the day she was born, she has been regarded as a piece of cake by people outside the valley, and every minute and second in this valley is like a level and progress in a game, just waiting for the players to take every step carefully.

It's just that the Red Son's attack failed. If it had succeeded, she might have been trained and improved under the Red Son and become a puppet that grows mushrooms.

This mountain is full of spiritual energy, and it should be a good place to grow fresh fruits.

She thought so in her heart, but remained expressionless.

Seeing that she was silent, Yao Wutian asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Ryuhyo Kaido said, "I miss you."

Yaowutian was stunned.

Why is she teasing him again? Her excellence only lasts for three days!

"What do you miss about me?"

Liu Bing Haidao said, "I wonder what skill you have practiced. You can lift this huge rock with one move, but I have been trying for three days and still can't lift it. Can you teach me? I won't bother you again in the future."

Oh, so it was because I couldn't move for three days that I thought of him, not because I wanted to get close to him...

He still had a little resentment in his heart.

"This is a man's skill, it's inconvenient for you to learn it. If a stone appears next time, just come to me."

After that, I thought, how many more weird things are you going to come up with!

Yaowutian came to see this big stone for several days.

I touched the stone but didn't find anything unusual.

However, more big mushrooms will appear as time goes by. She wrapped the big mushrooms and didn't want Yao Wutian to see them.

When she has nothing to do, she practices in the forest.

But the big rock really caught Yao Wutian's attention. After a few days, he came again, wanting to see if there were any changes in the big rock and whether there were more rocks. The icy sea no longer stopped him, as he couldn't see anything anyway.

One day, he was looking at the big mushroom on the ground again. The big mushroom loosened, and the ground underneath suddenly shook. The ground made a bursting sound, and then slowly cracked.

Liu Binghai took one look at the land and knew who was coming.

But Yao Wutian didn't know that he suddenly clenched his sword and prepared to attack.

Her heart tightened and she wanted to kick Yao Wutian out, not wanting him to see Hou Jinyan.

But it was too late.

The ground cracked again, and Hou Jinyan's head popped up.

In his hand, he still held a large mushroom that he had secretly picked from here last time.

As Hou Jinyan was trying to get out, she shouted, "Sister, I know what this big mushroom of yours does."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw Yao Wutian and was so frightened that the big mushroom in his hand fell to the ground and rolled a long way.

Hou Jinyan looked at Yaowutian and then at Liubinghai, not knowing whether to run or stay.

Yao Wutian knows Hou Jinyan.

The second son of the Hou family, a very smart child.

But the Hou family is not a family that practices martial arts. Although they are smart, they have no spiritual power and are not very talented. They just secretly practiced the earth-drilling skill at some point and actually drilled out from here.

And it seems that this is not the first time he has come here.

And what did he just say? He has her big mushroom.

She actually let a strange little boy into her forest and took her big mushrooms.

Yao Wutian looked at Hou Jinyan with a gloomy expression.

Hou Jinyan looked at Yao Wutian. It was too late for him to hide. Moreover, Liu Binghai called him and locked him in place.

"Do you know what the big mushroom is used for?" Liu Binghai threw down the lemon fruit his men had just picked and said, "Tell me in detail."

Hou Jinyan really wanted to run away, but the Black-faced King was staring at him with a fierce look.

Half his body was still in the ground, his hands clawing at the ground. He said, "The other day I was picking up jade in the mountains. It was a windy day, and I fell from the peak. A big piece of skin was torn off. The pain was so severe that I had nowhere to hide. I cried out to heaven and earth, but no one answered. The torn skin felt like it was tearing my heart apart. I thought, if I died in pain on this hillside like this, and I still haven't married a wife, it would be a great loss..."

Liu Binghai could no longer bear it and said, "The key point."

Hou Jinyan paused playfully and said, "I took a bite of the mushroom, and a new layer of skin quickly grew out."

After saying that, he blinked again and said, "Sister, give me another one."

The big mushroom that day was not given by Liu Binghai, he picked it himself. Liu Binghai said, "How can you learn to steal things at such a young age?"

Hou Jinyan said shamelessly, "I wanted to use myself as an experiment for my sister. Sister, your place is very strange."

After saying this, he completely emerged from the ground and went to the side of the drifting ice sea. He said, "Sister, this land of yours first had mushrooms and then Ganoderma lucidum. They are all rare things. This land is not ordinary, and...ah!"

Hou Jinyan was so scared that he fell to the ground.

Where did this huge rock come from?

Hou Jinyan opened his mouth in shock.

"Sister, did you plant this big rock too?"

He touched the big smooth stone and was amazed. Suddenly he felt that the scenery in the forest was much better.

Yaowutian became even angrier.

It seemed that he not only came here often, but also knew about the strange things in the forest a long time ago.

Didn’t she promise him not to tell anyone?

He is not trustworthy. He is really not trustworthy.

He looked at Hou Jinyan angrily as he circled around the drifting ice sea like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

As the night deepened, the scenery in the forest gradually faded. Yao Wutian should arrest Hou Jinyan and interrogate him.

But he is just Chieko and does not have this right. Moreover, this is her own private matter. Hou Jinyan is not an outsider of the valley. It is her right to share her secret with as many people in the valley as she wants.

He has no control over it at all.

Now he wasn't the only one in the valley who knew her secret...

Hou Jinyan began to describe the taste of the big mushroom in his mouth.

It tastes sour, sweet, and refreshing, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

Yaowutian rolled his eyes.

He has never eaten it.

Humph, I don’t know the magical properties and meaty texture of that big mushroom.

But what's the big deal.

He knows some mysterious skills and can move that big stone in.

Hou Jinyan definitely can't move it.

snort.

But then he thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. Hou Jinyan was just a little kid. Why should he compete with a little kid?

Wouldn't this make him become the sour lemon he used to be?

He is Tomoko, hmph, the most hardworking and diligent young man in this valley...

Hou Jinyan talked to Liu Binghai for a long time in a mysterious way, and only after she gave him a pot of lemonade did he calm down for a while.

Hou Jinyan whispered in her ear again, "Sister, you might have special abilities. You're a unique person. In the future, you might be able to grow something even better and more powerful. The glory of our valley rests on you alone."

Liu Binghai looked at him with a cold expression, then suddenly smiled, "Then you're going to spread the word for me?"

Hou Jinyan shook her head quickly, "That's impossible. You are my precious sister, but..."

He looked back at Yao Wutian cautiously and whispered to her, "Sister, how could you not be careful? Outsiders have already known about this."

Yaowutian opened up a close-ear hearing skill, which allowed him to hear conversations of people a hundred meters away.

However, this skill belongs to the category of sneak attack and is considered a hidden skill, so it is not easily activated.

He opened it now and heard Hou Jinyan say that he was an outsider.

He is an outsider, and you, a little kid, are an insider?

He is the most diligent young man in the valley...

If he gets angry, I can kick him out of the forest with a flying kick.

He just doesn't bully the little kids.

This woman is so disobedient... She is such a disaster.

After listening to Hou Jinyan's words, Liu Binghai said to him, "Zhizi, like you, discovered it by accident. Stop whining. After he leaves, I'll give you another mushroom. Use it carefully."

Thinking that if outsiders attack one day, the Hou family might be in danger, it is always good to have a life-saving medicine.

"Only one. I'll give it to you in a few days. Don't come to me too often if you have nothing to do. Don't be so greedy."

Hou Jinyan nodded excitedly, "Thank you, sister. I am not greedy. I will remember your kindness in saving my life."

It was as if the little brat knew that the Red Child would come, and he was making full preparations every day.

Liu Binghai couldn't help but ask, "Why are you working so hard? It seems like you always feel that something dangerous will happen."

Hou Jinyan thought for a moment, looked at Yaowutian behind him, then looked at Liubinghai, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Speak." Liu Bingkai said.

Hou Jinyan replied, "The Shanhua Sutra predicts great things. Look at our valley, the mountains and waters are beautiful, like a paradise on earth. People say that a moment of tranquility is not tranquility. Tranquility will bring disaster, and after the disaster, it will return to tranquility. The life cycle repeats itself like this..."

He was so young, yet he actually understood the life cycle. Liu Binghai smiled and said, "You're right. Everything in the universe repeats itself, rising and falling. There's no eternal peace, and no eternal disaster. So, you should practice well and stop complaining all day."

Hou Jinyan nodded with a playful smile, "Sister, you're working so hard, but do you share the same goal with me?"

Liu Binghai picked a large mushroom and secretly slipped it into his sleeve, saying, "You and I are both human children. Even if there's no trouble in the mountains for a day, there's no guarantee there will be no disaster for a thousand years. If our parents and relatives don't rely on us, how can we rely on outsiders?"

Yaowutian understood.

It seems that this woman is practicing hard not to compete with him, but to prepare for danger in the valley one day, and she wants to protect herself and her family.

I actually underestimated her before.

Yaowutian put away his ear-close skills.

After listening to several sentences in a row, I feel dizzy...

This secret eavesdropping was too tiring and he needed to drink a glass of lemonade to relax.

"Hey," he said to the woman who was still whispering in his ear, "pour me a glass of lemonade."

Liu Binghai warmed a glass of water for the droopy-faced old man.

After drinking the lemon water, Yao Wutian's strength was mostly restored.

Secret skills are secret skills. It takes a lot of effort to eavesdrop on women's conversations.

But she wanted to protect her family, isn't that simple? If there was a disaster in the valley one day, he would definitely be the one to fight hard and would definitely protect her.

However, it is a good thing that she wants to improve herself, and it is worth encouraging.

Yao Wutian sat there drinking water, looking very majestic. Hou Jinyan didn't dare to say anything. He touched the big mushroom in his sleeve and ran away.

When running, he didn't dare to use the earth-drilling skill anymore, but ran out of the woods.

After Hou Jinyan left, Yao Wutian suddenly said:

"To combine Xuan Gong and Wu Gong, you need to use the power of the arms. This requires one hundred days of practice to complete. Once you have cultivated to the seventh level, you can practice the superposition technique."

He said this out of the blue.

"From level seven onwards, there are many additional skills. I will teach you then."

The drifting ice sea acted as if it didn't hear anything.

She calculated the days, glanced at the big rock again, and suddenly smiled at Yao Wutian:

"Tomoko, if there is ever a day when there is trouble in the valley, will you protect me?"

This is what I asked.

Yao Wutian looked at her with a sullen face.

Liu Binghai smiled and said, "That's good. I believe you."

Well……

This sudden trust is too mysterious.

Liu Binghai squatted down and looked at his forest, as if he was looking at a new world that was about to arrive.

Since you can fight, then go ahead and fight. I have to grow mushrooms well.

Based on her guess and understanding of this body, the higher her cultivation level, the more miraculous things she can unearth, and the closer it is to the arrival of certain people.

She needs to take it easy and advance slowly, leaving time for both herself and Yao Wutian.

"But how do you practice the power of arm opening?" Liu Binghai said, "Teach me."

Yao Wutian spent three days teaching her the technique of using the power of her arms. She was not good at large-scale movements in martial arts, but she had enough endurance and dexterity. With the method of superimposed force, Liu Binghai felt that her technique had become more proficient.

She is really a smart little girl who understands things quickly.

Yaowu Tiandao said, "First, practice your arm strength. After a few days, I will teach you the more obscure spiritual skills in the valley. Your spiritual power and profound power will be further strengthened."

"Okay." Liu Binghai agreed.

If it doesn’t cost money, it’s a waste not to learn.

Yao Wutian thought for a moment and threw a leaf to her.

It was the leaves in his training forest, and when they rustled, he could receive a signal from the person blowing the leaves, "Call me if something happens in the forest. I have to go back to training."

Liu Binghai took the leaf and blew it.

Yaowutian's face darkened. "You can only blow it after I leave. You blow it so close to me that it makes my ears ring."

"Oh." Liu Binghai put away the leaves.

Yaowutian returned to the forest to practice.

But when he left, something felt wrong.

He felt that the drifting ice sea was hiding a secret.

Moreover, it was not a secret that he could solve in a short time, or that could be revealed by teaching her a few tricks.

…

After Yaowutian left, Liubinghai slept in the forest for three days.

After learning how to use her arms to stretch her body, she was exhausted and had been holding on in front of Yao Wutian for several days. Now she was really sleepy.

I slept soundly, and when I woke up, the mushroom had opened a few more branches.

She ate well and slept well, and the fresh food grew well, so she ate and slept for two more days.

After a good sleep, she was preparing to continue practicing for a few days. Although she decided to slow down, after all, the higher the spiritual power, the better the things produced might be, so she still couldn't give up all her previous efforts.

After a good sleep, she drank a pot of tea and prepared to continue practicing.

Unexpectedly, the big rock that appeared outside the woods a few days ago suddenly began to shake, shake, and shake.

Liu Binghai put down the teacup and looked at the stone. It was shaking with great force, swaying left and right. There was something inside that was pushing against it, as if it was about to break out of the stone.

Could it be that this is a piece of top-quality jade-encrusted stone, with a top-quality jade hidden inside?

The drifting ice sea stared at it motionlessly. It swayed back and forth for a long time. Suddenly, with a bang, the stone exploded.

There was a loud bang that almost shattered her eardrum, and she thought a large piece of jade would break out.

Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she was stunned.

I was so shocked that I couldn't move, unable to hide the shock in my heart.

A person walked out of the broken stone alive.
