Chapter 64: The Origin of the Clear Stream
Chen and Tang came to the bank of the clear stream and looked at the clear stream that was winding past. Several small fish were walking through the rocks under the water. Not far away, there was a sika deer drinking water.
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows lightly and said to himself: "Is such a clear water and fish parade a marching problem? "
Dongfang Yu took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and sprinkled the powder inside.
The water surface was turbulent, and the medicine powder blew in the wind over the stream, crossing the water surface, and nothing happened.
The sika deer opposite the stream lies down under the shade of the tree to cool off after drinking water, chewing on the nearby grass from time to time, and its movements are gentle, not like an adult male deer. It is half-squinted and looks extremely comfortable, and is looking at this side curiously.
Chen Tang looked at the sika deer and his heart gradually sank, and he said to himself: "It turns out that there is something wrong with the water."
Dongfang Yu sighed and said, "Master, no signs of toxicity were found in the test of the poison powder."
Chen Tang nodded, took out two withered chrysanthemums from the cloth bag behind him, held them in his hand, and remained silent.
Dongfang Yu knew that the master was thinking, so he did not disturb him, but enjoyed the beautiful scenery nearby.
The breeze blew by the stream, and the fields were all gone in an instant, and the grass was pressing down and could not lift its head.
Chen Tang sighed and asked, "Disciple, how are the differences between these two chrysanthemums?"
Dongfang Yu looked at his left hand and said, "This chrysanthemum is a wild chrysanthemum. The charred roots and the smell of almonds are signs of poisoning. A slight toxin was also found in the soil in the wild. Although it is not enough to kill the animals, it is enough to kill the green grass and wild chrysanthemum."
He looked at Chen Tang's right hand and said, "This chrysanthemum has yellow petals and wrinkled rhizomes. Except for the lack of signs of toxins, it is not new to the situation of wild chrysanthemums. It's just..."
Dongfang Yu pondered for a moment and said uncertainly: "I feel that there is something different."
Chen Tang looked at his beloved disciple who was in deep thought, smiled and nodded, and then said seriously: "The flower on my right hand is old and dead."
"I'm so old! How could I do that?"
Dongfang Yu was shocked and asked, "What happened? It made all the wild flowers in the town suddenly die of old age?"
Chen Tang did not rush to answer the question below, but pointed to the grass by the stream and said, "What are the problems with them?"
Dongfang Yu knew that this was the master who was teaching himself and was also part of the teaching, so he stretched out his two fingers to pinch a green grass and observed it carefully.
I saw that the grass roots were wrinkled and the grass tips that should have been crisp and tender could be seen withered and yellow, but they were not obvious.
Dongfang Yu said this, Chen Tang nodded slightly and said, "It was noon at this time. Everything should be full of vitality and rushing on the grassland, but the deer there drank the stream water and ate the grass by the stream but lost its vitality. He actually enjoyed the breeze by the stream like an old deer. This is very unusual."
Dongfang Yu was silent for a long time, suddenly remembered the allusion he had seen in an ancient book, and said in surprise: "Guilinglingsan?"
"The scattered medicine was also a legendary drug that was lost a thousand years ago. It should be the scattered pill in the Xuanmo Palace."
Chen Tang denied his speculation and looked at him and said, "Like toxins on the wild land, it was severely diluted, so it took so long to get effective. Due to the weak effect, animals will only feel tired and a little old after drinking it, and will recover soon."
"Since it's a problem with water, even the chrysanthemums in the gardeners' homes have withered, so why are the grass growing directly by the stream just wrinkled?"
Dongfang Yu raised his own question: the grass and trees nearby grow with the moist breath that comes from the stream, so they are more lush and grow more vigorously and upright than the grass and trees in other places.
Now there are cast age pills in the water, so shouldn’t these plants and trees wither before the chrysanthemums?
Chen Tang said: "The effect of the casting pill is diluted by streams, passing through sand and stones into the soil, and being absorbed by the roots of plants and trees, the medicinal power is extremely weak, so it will naturally not cause any major damage. The gardener uses stream water to directly water the medicinal power, and the medicinal power exists in the flowers and soil. When it accumulates to a certain extent, it will directly allow the chrysanthemum to grow rapidly and die of old age overnight."
Dongfang Yu thought about it, suddenly grabbed the point, and asked in surprise: "The Xuanmo Palace was wiped out fifty years ago, so where did the casting pill come from? Even if there are remnants of the demonic path, what should I do to destroy the town?"
Chen Tang's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "The demise of the Xuanmo Palace was facilitated by my Changming Sect."
Dongfang Yu was shocked.
...
...
Then, the two returned to Changmingzong and came to Langya Peak. After saluting respectfully in front of Guo Mingzhe's residence, they came to the source of the Qingxi River.
Langya Peak is steep and has cliffs on all sides. It is extremely difficult for practitioners below Hualing to climb. There is a valley at the deepest point of the mountain. It seems to be driven by the secrets of heaven. The clouds flowing through the twelve peaks will gather here, condense into water, pour down, and flow between the peaks and flow to the town until the distance, forming a clear stream.
It is said that it was the scene formed by the founder of Changming Sect using his great supernatural powers to involve the secrets of heaven, alarming the thunder and fire of heaven, and using the power of heaven and earth to gather spirits here.
Until now, no one knows why he created the wonder of Langya Peak at such a great cost.
Dongfangyu saw the mist in the valley, and the sound of water flowing in his ears was constantly flowing. The clouds gathered from the peaks were so rich that they even blocked the sun. He couldn't see his five fingers, and there was only a vast white area, and he was shocked.
The originator of Changming is worthy of being a powerful sacred domain who has participated in the battle between gods and demons.
Chen Tang grabbed the apprentice of the water tester who was about to bend down and asked him to kneel down and kowtow to the deepest part of the water mist. He also bowed his hand and bowed to the ground.
Dongfang Yu suddenly asked himself to give a great gift for some reason, but when he saw that the master couldn't get up for a long time, he didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only kneel on the ground to accompany him.
After a long time, Chen Tang stood up and said, "It's OK."
Dongfang Yu took out a small copper ball, put it in the water, and asked, "Master, he was just..."
Chen Tang said seriously with a stern face: "Just just check the water. Don't ask too much. What you should know will always teach you what you should know."
Who doesn’t know the fourth elders’ temper of the Changming Sect? They rarely scold their disciples. When did they have such an expression? Dongfang Yu was so scared that his neck shrank and his head lowered.
After a while, Dongfang Yu pulled the golden thread wrapped around his fingertips and pulled the copper ball out of the water. He saw that the copper ball was full of luster and was completely different, so he said, "Master, there is no problem with the water here."
Chen Tang nodded and said, "After the Qing River flows out of Langya Peak, it flows to Ziyun Peak. Let's go and visit your uncle Yuhong."
After the two went down the mountain, a wisp of divine thought was also retracted into the clouds and mists.
