Chapter 59: Lemon in the Valley (1) Lemons are so sour...
This is a huge canyon. The gray sky occupies half of the canyon. The canyon is surrounded by a dark green grassland. Occasionally, there are a few crisp bird calls. The mountain eagles fly over without leaving any trace.
The drifting ice sea awakens in the valley, a few birds hang on the branches, there are cooing sounds in the high sky, and the sound of flowing streams nearby.
This is the gathering place of the Gulala family.
The Gulala family is the largest family in the valley and has the power to rule over all the people in the valley. The family leader, "Da Xinyu", is a powerful and majestic swordsman and is the unrivaled king in the valley. His daughter, "Da Hongzhuang", is beautiful, dignified and charming.
Unfortunately, being born with elegance is not the most important thing in this valley. In this valley, everyone has to cultivate skills to survive, just like in the fairyland.
Da Hongzhuang is as beautiful as a swan, but has mediocre skills, and covets Yao Wutian, the son of the deputy commander.
Yaowutian shines like a star, and he also has a godsister named Murong Qian, who has outstanding abilities.
She envied Murong Qian's skills. Murong Qian was not as beautiful as her, but her skills were superior to hers in every way. Not only did she win the favor of Yao Wutian, but even other prestigious tribesmen in the valley admired her. Dahongzhuang envied her day by day and was jealous of her night by night, but did not know how to cultivate themselves. The hatred made her beautiful face look full of sorrow.
As Liu Binghai lay on the ground, she heard someone say, "Let her lie down!"
The speaker was a male voice, sounding quite old, like her father.
The powerful chest voice, I imagine, should be the result of a sharp gaze and a mellow appearance like a bell, which is the result of long-term practice.
The clan leader was naturally disappointed with his daughter, but due to his status, he could not step on her too much. Although he had other children, and their cultivation was also good, this daughter was the one he loved the most since she was a child, but now she was lying on the ground in a mess, which made him so angry that his teeth ached.
"If you can't get up, forget it. You all should practice on your own. Don't let the Red Son from outside the mountain break into the clan and make a fool of yourself."
The Red Sons are what they call people from outside the mountains.
After the leader Da Xinyu finished speaking, the others dispersed.
At this moment, Dahongzhuang had just tripped Murong Qian and was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
Looking at the tall leaves from the sea of drifting ice, this valley is an intoxicating place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers.
The air is pleasant and refreshing.
She sat up, looked at her father, and called softly, "Dad."
Da Xinyu seemed to be surprised that she would get up so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned helplessly and sighed, "Zhuang'er..."
It seemed like he was powerless against her.
She was born beautiful and was the daughter of a commander, but she was unwilling to work hard on her cultivation and ended up having a bad temper.
Being enemies with Murong Qian every day and not being able to get the favor of my beloved, why bother?
Da Xinyu shook his head and left without looking back.
The cuckoos in the valley chirped crisply, and a sea of drifting ice rose from the ground, surrounding the woods. Like a primeval forest, the woods were lush and green, with gurgling streams, fallen branches pressing against the water's inlet, and moss covering the branches.
She looked at her own appearance. She had a pretty face, delicate features, and a graceful demeanor.
Her face was reflected in the gurgling water.
This is a face of stunning beauty.
It's such a pity that she is so beautiful yet she harbors jealousy.
Just as he was looking at himself, a man came from a distance. He was wearing a long gray-brown robe and had a cold face. Judging from his eyebrows and eyes, he was a young man with a high level of cultivation.
This person is the protagonist of the story, Yao Wutian.
Yao Wutian came to grab the jade for cultivation, but when he saw Liu Binghai, he paused, closed his thin lips, and didn't want to say anything to her.
Liu Binghai took a few steps back to make room for him so that he could pass through first.
He walked over and looked back at her. Liu Binghai took a few steps back, leaving a wide area where the jade was.
Looking at Yao Wutian, she couldn't help but sigh that the original owner had turned from love to hate for this man, and was jealous of Murong Qian's past life.
She loves this man, she loves his handsome appearance, but she loves herself more. She tries her best to get close to Yao Wutian, trying to get close to him, but he has a calm personality. Because of their similar cultivation levels, he and Murong Qian are closer and have a better relationship.
Murong Qian is superior to Dahongzhuang in every aspect except appearance, especially in skill coefficient, which far exceeds her.
She hated all of this, hated herself so much that she felt like an extremely sour lemon, feeling sour, sour, and sour every day.
She secretly imagined many obscure things and dug many traps for Murong Qian, but pushed Murong Qian completely into Yao Wutian's arms.
Her father intended to marry her to his confidant Fan Huacheng, but she joined forces with the Red Sons outside and almost wiped out the entire tribe in the valley.
Sour lemons are killing people... Liu Binghai couldn't help but want to cover his face.
My memory is of the original owner writing sour words in a small notebook every day, with a really gloomy face.
This is a quiet valley.
The tribesmen are practicing in the valley, and the outsiders, the Sons of Red, are not enough to pose a threat to them. However, if the descendants of the leader are vulnerable, it will be a threat to this canyon for generations to come.
Lemon Acid from Dahongzhuang, seeing that he could not compete with Murong Qian, made the acquaintance of a man named Aqiu. Aqiu had a naive look on his face and claimed that he was a descendant of the Piyi family, a less prominent family in the canyon, and its status was far from that of the Gulala family. However, he was willing to follow Dahongzhuang and wait for her to help him when she became successful.
With the help of Aqiu, Dahongzhuang made trouble in Murong Qian's training forest, stole her training stones, set up many obstacles, and indirectly weakened Yaowutian's power. Every day, she would be sour under the lemon tree in her own training forest. The lemon tree listened to her sour words every day, and the fruit it produced was sourer than that of other trees. This lemon fruit was a good fruit for training in the valley. It would help with training if it was brewed into tea, cut into slices, and drunk every day.
The lemon fruits of Dahong Manor are much larger than those of other people, but she does not drink them as fruits for cultivation. Instead, she thinks it is ironic and only wants to compete with Murong Qian.
But in the end, she and Aqiu attracted the attention of Chi Zhizi.
Later, it was learned that Aqiu was actually Chi's son, and he sneaked into the valley just to use this lemon spirit to disrupt Gulala's family power. He flattered her, secretly observed the dynamics in the valley, and accompanied her to set up lemon traps everywhere.
Under the Sour Net, Murong Qian and Yao Wutian were unable to practice in peace, and their strength was much weaker than before. Yao Wutian was even more disgusted with Sour Lemon.
The weakening of the strength in the valley gave the Sons of Dismissal an opportunity. The Sons of Dismissal outside the valley took advantage of the opportunity and rushed in. The family was nearly destroyed by the outsiders, the Sons of Red. Fortunately, Da Xinyu had been practicing for many years and was very powerful, so he protected the safety of the people in the valley. However, because the disaster was caused by the daughter of the leader, Da Xinyu had to take the initiative to give up his position. Gulala lost the right to lead the valley from then on, and Dahongzhuang became a treacherous person. She could not raise her head in the valley for the rest of her life, and it was difficult for her to get married. In the end, she only married a rough man who picked up firewood. She lost the right to practice, and stared at her own practice forest in a daze every day.
Just now, Dahongzhuang had just caused trouble for Murong Qian, but their scheme was exposed. They were humiliated and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
At this moment, Yao Wutian came to pick up the jade used by Murong Qian for cultivation. In the original plot, Dahongzhuang got up from the ground, scolded him, and argued with him that the jade was for his own use and would not let him pick it up to give to Murong Qian.
This made Yao Wutian very annoyed.
"Hey, move aside." Yao Wutian said.
He had clearly already given her enough space, but he still asked her to give way, probably because he didn't want to get too close to her.
The drifting ice sea moved to the side again.
Yao Wutian was a little surprised to see her quietly move aside. This was not like her usual behavior.
Fearing a trick, he picked up a few pieces of jade and looked at her carefully. As long as she didn't follow him and pester him to practice with her, he could hide away in peace.
When Liu Binghai saw him looking at him, he took a few steps back and almost hid under the lemon tree.
The valley is covered with trees and lemon fruits are in full bloom, giving off a very fragrant scent.
She was under the lemon tree, waiting for Yao Wutian to leave so that she could come out.
Yao Wutian didn't dare to leave.
He held the jade and looked at her for a long time. Only when he was sure that she was fine did he leave, looking back every three steps.
Liu Binghai came out from under the lemon tree and looked at Wu Yaotian's back.
In the distance, his towering figure was like a cold and lonely peak. He practiced hard every day and made great progress in his cultivation, but he was not a completely trustworthy person. He was both good and evil and usually did not interfere in the affairs of the clan. Later, when Dahongzhuang got into trouble, he joined forces with Murong Qian and several other clan members to weaken the power of the Gulala family and Daxinyu. Even Dachunqiu, the eldest son of Daxinyu, who had always been on good terms with him, was suppressed by him.
Eventually, he joined forces with the second largest family, the Yuxi family, to seize the power of the valley leader, and the power was in his hands.
Therefore, at the critical moment, he was able to eliminate his good brothers as well, which shows how scheming he was.
In this valley, there are several major families, the Gulala family is the first, followed by the Yuxi family and the Liaoyuan family.
These three families are the kings of cultivation in the valley.
There are also some other small families that have no status. They just follow the three major families to practice some small skills and live a peaceful life.
Yaowutian is the son of the patriarch of the Liaoyuan family. He has always been steady in character. I wonder if he has been coveting the position of leader for many years, just waiting for the sour guy Dahongzhuang to cause trouble for himself so that he can take the opportunity to take the position and take charge of the overall situation.
"Cuckoo...Cuckoo..."
The cuckoo keeps calling.
The sky is really high...
It is so high that you cannot see the clouds in the distance clearly, and the branches are stretched so far that everything is clear and bright. It is really a good place for meditation.
Liu Binghai looked up and waited until Yao Wutian walked away before he walked out of the lemon tree above his head. The stream kept gurgling in his ears, with rustling sounds. The ground under the tree was full of various mountain fruits of different shapes.
The clouds are so blue...
She followed the instructions and walked back to the woods where she had practiced.
Every person who practices cultivation has his own small grove of lemon trees. When the fruits are ripe, they are sliced and used as tea to cultivate the body.
The lemon fruits in the forest where she cultivated were extremely large.
Although Dahongzhuang was not very diligent in her cultivation, when she was in a bad mood, she would run to her own forest to get angry, and the fruits she made were sourer than those in other forests.
They were hanging on the tree, swaying in large pieces, and became a joke.
Liu Binghai stood on tiptoe, picked a fruit, put it under his nose and smelled it.
It's really sour.
But this place of retreat is so rare and comfortable that it is probably a wilderness that will be hard to find again in several lifetimes.
She sat cross-legged under the forest for a while. From now on, this would probably be her place of long-term seclusion.
Dahongzhuang has average talent and may not be able to reach the highest level through cultivation. However, with the Gulala family and his father's support, as long as he works hard, there is no way he will not be able to reach above the ninth level.
As long as she can cultivate to level 7 or above, she will have the right to leave the valley, and even lead her people to compete with the Son of Red. At that time, her situation should not be too bad. At least, there will be no big problem in maintaining Gulala's position in the valley.
After sitting here for a while, I felt refreshed.
He stood up, picked another big fruit, and took it back to make tea.
In this life, her mission is not just to be an ancestor. She has to preserve Gulala's power and prevent it from being destroyed by other families, and she cannot let the outsiders, the Sons of Red, have the opportunity to attack and occupy the valley.
She knew that Aqiu might be about to go into the mountains, and the Red Sons outside the valley were silently spying on her, so she had to be extra careful.
Let's make a cup of tea first and improve our physical cultivation...
She picked the big fruit and walked back to her family residence.
A small courtyard surrounded by bamboo forest and full of blooming crabapples.
In the main hall, mother Guo was discussing family matters with father.
As soon as she entered the main hall, her mother looked up at her. She felt depressed and wanted to avoid her gaze, but she still met her mother's eyes.
Then came the mother's voice, frowning and questioning: "Why, Ye is back?"
