Chapter 573 [Go to find the person you want to find]
Needless to say, the dazzling scenery seen on the way.
After walking for more than ten days since I changed direction, the ground under my feet is still flat, and there are continuous farmlands on both sides of the road. Most of the seedlings in the fields have not yet sprouted. They are corn planted in spring, and some fields are green. Green wheat seedlings.
There are many villages and towns scattered in the middle of the field, random and natural, and the distance between the villages and towns is so close that you can hear each other. In the village, there are mulberries and willows in front of every household, and there are scattered vegetable beds, some sunflowers, leeks and garlic are planted, and there are pigs, cattle, ducks and geese locked in the pens of the pens, all of which are eating and chewing on their own. food.
Fang Chang stood still at the edge of the village and looked ahead.
There is a high mountain there, which stands abruptly on the plain, like a stone pen holder on a flat desk. At this time, the clouds and fog in the mountains were quite high, half covering the sunlight, but except for the high peaks, they did not block the appearance of the mountain. So this dark-colored mountain is clearly printed on the blue sky behind the distant mountain.
What is particularly strange is that the edge of the mountain in the distance, on the side of the plain, is very straight, as if it was cut by a sharp knife. But Fang Chang knew that this was not cut out by some ancient master with a knife and axe, but a fault zone deep underground, and the two sides of the fault zone were constantly shifting. That part of the mountain was moved hundreds of miles away.
He watched the magnificent mountain in the distance quietly for a while, and then continued to move forward. From the mouths of the surrounding people, Fang Chang already knew the name of this mountain, and there is also a slightly absurd legend.
According to legend, countless years ago, this place was still a large plain without any mountains. Standing here and looking west, you can see the end of the sky. But this is not good for the people living here, because it is too far away from the legendary sea, and there are no high mountains, so that the water vapor floats from the sky and the rain cannot fall, so the people living here are very poor and suitable for reclamation. land is even scarcer.
There was a cowherd boy whose family was very poor, or as poor as the people here. He goes out to herd cattle every day. In order to find the best grass for his old scalper, the cowherd boy always has to go very far. But after a long time, he has become very familiar with where there are places suitable for grazing cattle, so his cattle are always fuller and stronger than other cattle.
One day in midsummer, the cowherd boy was leading the cow for a long distance, when he suddenly felt that the rope in his hand became motionless, and he staggered. Looking back, he found that the cow was standing there motionless, and even sighed. This situation is very anxious for the cowherd boy, after all, the cows don't go to the village or shop, and the cow suddenly stops going is a big problem.
The cowherd boy was anxious, but no matter how he urged and drove the cow, the cow still didn't move. Seeing that the cow refused to move, Niuwa shed tears of anxiety, and he said: "Niu, ox, hurry up, or you won't be able to eat fresh grass." "
As a result, the cow suddenly spoke, which startled the cowherd boy.
I only heard the scalper say: "Little master, I'm leaving."
Hearing this, the cowherd boy immediately forgot his fear. After all, cows are an important source of livelihood for the family. Without cows, people cannot cultivate such barren fields. The output in the fields is insufficient, and the whole family can only starve .
He asked Lao Niu anxiously:
"Ox, ox, why are you leaving? Is it because the grass I look for every day is not fresh?"
The old cow shook his head and said:
"No, little master, let me explain to you the reason for my departure."
The old scalper told the cowherd boy that he was originally a fairy in the sky, but because he offended someone, he had to turn into a cow and hid here, taking the ordinary as a shelter for many years. The method has been lost, but he feels that there is nothing wrong with being a cow.
But recently, he felt that someone was gradually approaching his hiding place, so he could only run away again, so he prepared to say goodbye to his little master.
The cowherd boy said in a gloomy mood: "You are gone, what should I do?"
The old scalper said:
"Don't worry, I'll leave you an extremely sharp axe, it's not bad to chop wood and be a woodcutter."
"But where are the trees here?"
"There will be soon. There will be a mountain here, and there will be many trees in it. If you cut firewood and sell it in a nearby town, your life will be better than now. And the fields here are dry and barren. The other side is an uninhabited wasteland. Every day to find some grass to eat, you have to walk a long, long way. After the mountains here appear, they can block the water vapor in the sky, and the rain here will be abundant. There will be streams and rivers, and the wilderness can be turned into fertile fields."
"Where will the mountain be?"
The old scalper stretched out his hand and drew a line on the ground: "From this line to the west, there are all mountains."
The cowherd boy was convinced, and then the old scalper turned into a cloud of sand and flew away suddenly. Immediately afterwards, the wasteland in front of him began to bulge, and it quietly grew ten feet higher every day. After four full months, the mountain stopped. grow, and then the trees grew that year, and the people here also ushered in a rare bumper harvest.
The most wonderful thing is that this high mountain seems to be cut straight on the line drawn by the old cow. In addition, from a certain angle, this mountain as a whole looks like a cattle lying beside a stone trough, so later generations named this mountain Farming Niu Mountain.
It is said that the old cow still lives in this mountain, avoiding the capture of others.
Due to the extremely complicated terrain of this mountain, people can no longer find him. But what that old cow likes most is to catch the disobedient children down the mountain to the mountain, use his fluffy tail, and scratch his armpits—especially those children who don't like to sleep at night.
Of course, Fang Chang heard this story at night.
As a bedtime story, the legend has already become very absurd, and it is completely impossible to verify how much the story inside is consistent with the facts. The only thing that is certain is that this mountain was definitely not made by human beings.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Fang Chang broke into the mountain without hesitation.
Living in Xianqiya all year round, he is very familiar with the roads in the mountains. According to the guidance of spiritual perception, he found the place he wanted to find, and saw the person he wanted to find.
It has been a while since Fang Chang left his apprentice. On the way back, he suddenly thought of this matter, so he simply followed his heart and changed his direction. He came to see how his apprentice Fu Qi was doing after entering the mountain. how is the progress.
