I am a fairy

Chapter 43: Thunder of the Awakening
"It's water!"

"It's not some monster, it's water coming out from the ground."

"There are also lights. See, colorful lights in the sky."

"There seems to be something in the light."

When they saw it was water, everyone felt relieved. Their pale faces became more vibrant and they stopped running around.

Followed by.

Springs gushed out from the caves on the mountain one after another. The spring water overflowed the caves and flowed down layer by layer along the built stone walls and paved ditches.

Finally, they are connected together to form a nine-bend waterfall.

But unlike ordinary waterfalls, these waterfalls emit "smoke" while flowing.

Someone ran to the cliff at the foot of the back of the mountain, waited until the waterfall flowed down, reached out his hand to touch it, and immediately exclaimed.

"The water is hot."

"No wonder it's steaming."

"How can the water flowing out from underground be hot? It's strange."

As more and more people came, some knowledgeable people immediately spoke up.

"It's a hot spring."

“This is a hot spring!”

The so-called Tangquan means hot spring.

Emperors of all dynasties would often look for places with hot springs to build palaces and hot spring pools. Nowadays, many people have read about these things in books, even if they have never seen them.

The hot spring falls layer by layer along the cliff on the back of the mountain, turning into a winding waterfall with a faint mist.

The fog spread and covered half of the mountain.

The sacred peak, which was originally inconspicuous and had nothing but vegetation, now has cascading waterfalls and the mountains are looming in the mist.

It looks more and more magical and extraordinary.

Not like the human world.

And that night, it started to rain.

The rain was not heavy like before, just a drizzle of spring rain. The only difference from before was that this time the rain was accompanied by thunder.

Thunder in the sky was running like a snake, the lightning came first, and the thunder followed closely behind.

Wait until the fifth day.

Everyone talked about this matter and connected all the recent events together.

"There was spring thunder last night."

"I heard that someone at the foot of the sacred peak saw something emitting colorful light and running up to the sky when the hot spring burst out from the ground yesterday."

"That must be the spring thunder. What came out of the ground yesterday was not some monster, but the thunder of the Waking of Insects."

"This spring thunder was indeed locked up by the gods, and was only released now."

"No wonder there has been constant thunder underground recently. That's the Jingzhe Thunder hidden under the nine earths, ready to go!"

"But I didn't expect that the Jingzhe Thunder would come out from under the Nine Earths and bring out a hot spring."

Everyone said so.
-
into the night.

It was raining and thundering outside the cave.

The raindrops fell with a loud noise, but there was no feeling of noise. Instead, it made people feel very comfortable.

Inside the cave, "Yun Zhongjun" who had just released the "Spring Thunder" was now soaking in a stone pool led out by the hot spring, admiring the scenery outside the cave.

If it is a sunny day, this is the Water Moon Cave.

Although it was a rainy night, it was still quite interesting.

"Clap!"

Jiang Chao put the radio aside, pressed the power button to turn it on, and the sound of music came from it.

This radio is special in that it also accepts song requests.

There are wine jugs and some food by the pool. Although we have been trying to save electricity in various ways during the rainy days recently, soaking in this hot spring pool doesn't seem so bad at this moment.

Wangshu: "It's a real hot spring, right?" Jiang Chao: "It's really nice."

Wangshu: "Of course I'll tell you."

Jiang Chao: "When will your facility be completed?"

Wangshu: “It’s almost there.”

When Jiang Chao got up and walked back slowly with the radio, he found a few more things placed in front of him.

Jiang Chao: "Is this a grenade or a bomb?"

That should have been made by Wangshu using some leftover scraps, just like the previous pistol.

Wangshu: "It is the Jingzhe divine thunder."

Sure enough, Wangshu gave it another resounding name.

Jiang Chao: "Will giving a bomb a powerful name increase its power?"

Wangshu is confident and justified.

"No."

“But it can increase the momentum.”

"When you throw it out, shout, 'Look at my Jingzhe Divine Thunder', and others will definitely look up to you."

Jiang Chao: "I think it's better to throw it out quietly. If the enemy sees it at this time, won't they be able to dodge it?"
-
“The hills are blooming.”

There are all kinds of trees on the sacred peak, among which there is an area where some peach trees grow scattered.

This year's cold winter lasted longer than in previous years, so the peach blossoms bloomed later. Usually, the peach trees at the foot of the mountain bloomed first, but it was different on Shenfeng Mountain. The peach trees on the mountain bloomed earlier than those at the foot of the mountain.

The hot spring flowed down the ditch waterfall, making the climate on the mountain a little warmer, and the flowers began to bloom.

The hot springs made the clouds and mist on the mountain linger longer and changed the climate on the mountain. Since then, the trees on the mountain have become evergreen.

It becomes more and more deep, like a secret place.
But at this moment, for the people in the mountains, they saw something else.

They watched the peach blossoms bloom, and then the chirping of insects gradually appeared. A flock of birds also flew onto the branches, chattering incessantly. The originally quiet forest suddenly became noisy.

"The flowers are blooming."

“The bugs are chirping too.”

"Look at that bird. It sings so beautifully."

Farmers carried hoes and walked through the fields, singing local tunes with smiles on their faces.

"When the thunder of Jingzhe sounded, all things began to grow."

The blooming flowers and the chirping insects seem to give people a sense of vitality and confidence, and I believe that there will be a good harvest this year.

As for the witches in the Temple of the Clouds, they have also been busy recently.

They found that the sacrificial methods passed down for hundreds and thousands of years did not seem to be so effective sometimes, so they modified the sacrificial tradition and made some corrections.

The divine shaman expressed his feelings, while the ritual shaman wrote.

"When you welcome the gods and invite them, you must pay attention to the steps and the incense. This is very important."

"Sacrifices should be changed in different seasons."

"Every year at the beginning of spring, sacrifices must be made to the spirits of the mountains and rivers, and to the dragons of all places, so that the mountains and rivers can be kept safe and free from disasters."

"Every year during the Rain Water solar term, rice wine is offered during the sacrifice. If the gods accept the rice wine, spring rain will fall in time."

"Every year during the Jingzhe solar term, people would beat drums during sacrifices to draw out the thunder insects underground. Then the gods would release spring thunder. When the spring thunder sounded, peach blossoms bloomed and all insects chirped."

The other witches knelt on the ground and listened with solemn expressions.

It seemed as if there was some magical power contained in that way of sacrifice.

That is the secret technique to communicate with gods.

The witches compiled and recorded the ancient tradition of sacrifice according to their own experiences and added their own imagination.

This way of worship is also their way of understanding this world.

In their eyes, the power beyond cognition must be related to ghosts and gods. There are some unknown existences in the dark that control and arrange everything.
