I am a fairy

Chapter 45 Stealing the bath water
After a few bursts of spring thunder and rain showers, they gradually stopped and it has been sunny these days.

The weather is fine, so more people go out for an outing.

But recently.

There are several good places for everyone to go.

Of course, many people went to the Yunzhongjun Temple on the sacred peak, the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and the Jiangbi Grottoes to burn incense and pray for blessings. Some people even came to the back of the sacred peak in groups.

Look at the flowing spring water and the clouds and mountains surrounded by mist.

The hot spring flows down from the sacred peak, falling down layer by layer. After passing the last layer of cliff nearly ten meters high, it gathers into a pool at the foot of the mountain.

Several mountain villages moved out from the depths of the Yunbi Mountains. One of them was settled in the shade of the Shenfeng Mountain, just next to the hot spring pool, collecting incense money for the Yunzhongjun Temple.

As long as you offer incense money on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, you can come and soak in the hot springs.

There is a reason why it became like this. It was mainly because some villagers from the two villages came to the foot of the mountain to collect money the day before yesterday. Eventually, an argument broke out over this matter, and dozens of people fought with each other, with heads broken and bloody, and almost someone died.

The county magistrate Jia Guidu was alarmed by this and finally said that the hot spring was created by immortals and the money earned should be used as incense money to worship the immortals. The people who were fighting did not dare to refute after hearing that they felt they were wrong, and in the end no one got anything good.

However, this has become a laughing stock for those who came to take a bath in the hot springs.

Even if they had to pay to bathe in the hot spring, they were naturally willing to give some incense money to ask for good fortune and the protection of the gods. Those villagers who came to fight for the ownership of the hot spring, without any name or status, seemed like a joke to everyone who was blinded by greed.

Soaking in the hot spring, listening to the chirping of insects, bringing a pot of wine and having a drink with friends, I have to say it is a very enjoyable experience.

at the foot of the mountain.

In the hot spring pool, someone pointed at the mountain and said, "Look at the trees on this mountain. They are all green. They are filled with fairy spirit."

They also mentioned that the flowers on the mountain bloomed first: "It is always the peach trees at the foot of the mountain that bloom first. It is strange that the flowers on the mountain bloom first."

Someone shook his head: "Nothing happens for no reason."

Question: "How do you say that?"

The answer was: "This water is not ordinary water. The flowers, plants and trees on the mountain are nourished by it, and naturally become green and full of vitality. We humans will also feel refreshed after soaking in this hot spring."

Everyone nodded: "That's right, we have to soak it more."

Therefore, there is an endless stream of people coming to the foot of the mountain to soak in the hot springs.
It’s just that some things change their meaning as we talk about them. The effect of hot springs has changed from making people feel refreshed at the beginning to having the effect of curing diseases.

Finally, it even became.

“Can a bath cure all diseases?”

"I have to go over here."

"I have a headache and fever in the spring, so I should go take a bath."

More and more people came, some of them looked at the spring water flowing down the mountain, and some even thought about it.

"or."

"Take some back?"

"If soaking in a hot spring can have such magical effects, wouldn't it be better to drink it?"

"There are people at home who are infected, so I have to pack some for them to take back."

Some people went towards the mountain, but were immediately stopped by the villagers on guard.

Villagers: "Don't get close, don't go up the mountain, go farther away."

Everyone said, "How can we go further away? The farther away, the more magical energy will disperse. The closer we are, the more magical energy there will be."

Villager: "We can't go up anyway."

He does not mean that.

This year,
There are always some people who don't believe in evil, who are crazy because of poverty, and who are blinded by greed.

A skinny man with bright eyes watched this scene and looked up at the top of the mountain, as if he had an idea.
-
the next day.

In Xihe County, there were people who hung bamboo tubes on their bodies and pretended to be vendors, selling goods door to door.

"Selling holy water."

"Holy water, do you want it?"

"Cure for all diseases."

As soon as the door was opened, the owner immediately raised his hand to drive them away after hearing this.

The host said: "What kind of fool is this? You come to Xihe County to cheat people. We have real gods here. We don't believe your lies."

The vendor said: "This is the magic water made by the gods."

The host: “Where did you get it?”

The vendor said, "This is the holy water from the sacred peak. You know that just soaking in that holy water can cure diseases. This is the holy spring that just flowed out of the mountain. It was sealed in a bamboo tube before the spiritual energy dissipated. The efficacy is a thousand times better than that of the water below the mountain."

The owner was horrified: "Shenfeng is a place where gods and ghosts appear, how dare you go up there." The vendor said: "Why do you care how I got there? If you don't want to go, I'll leave."

Although the owner was frightened, he was still tempted and paid for it.

The vendor smiled happily, took off a hanging bamboo tube from his body and sold it to the other party.

The vendor came to the second store.

The other party was equally frightened, but also asked with the same intention: "Really?"

The vendor was now confident: "That's not true."

The host said: "Someone in my family is sick. Can you cure him?"

The vendor said: "This is a magical spring. Drinking it will cure all diseases and you will never get sick again."

This person only cares about making money. As for whether the magic water can really cure diseases, it has nothing to do with him.

After that, the vendor had a target and specifically looked for families with sick people. These families were willing to pay high prices, so he made a lot of money.

even.

Some scholars heard the news and collected money to buy it.

The vendor counted out the money and asked, "Who is it for?"

Scholar: "I drink it myself."

Vendor: “Drink it yourself?”

Scholar: "I heard that drinking the holy spring can open your wisdom and make studying a hundred times more effective."

When the merchant heard this, he was surprised that it had such miraculous effects, how come he didn't know about it.

But after hearing this, the vendors seemed to have noticed a new way to make money and felt that they could make a lot of money.

But before that, the vendor looked around, leaned over and spoke mysteriously to the scholar.

"I have something good here."

The scholar was somewhat alert: "What a good thing, it must be a trick to deceive me."

The vendor said, "What I sold them just now was ordinary stuff, but I have something different here."

The scholar's eyes lit up: "Could it be the sacred spring closest to the source?"

The vendor shook his head, and the scholar became anxious.

"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly."

The vendor then moved closer and spoke to the scholar almost in his ear.

"There is a pool on the mountain where the witches bathe. I scooped it out of it with my own hands."

The scholar was stunned: "This... this... this..."

The vendor said, "Do you want it? This is truly divine water with a magical aura."

The scholar threw up his sleeves and said angrily, "What an insult to civility! What an insult to civility!"

But after a while, he turned around and ran back.

"What's the price?"
-
There is electricity.

Jiang Chao is playing games again.

As soon as he put down the handle, Wangshu popped up and told him a piece of news.

Wangshu: "Recently, someone went up the mountain to steal things."

Jiang Chao: "What did you steal?"

Wangshu: "Steal the bath water and drink it."

Jiang Chao: “Ah?”

A big departure.

It was the first time that Wangshu saw Jiang Chao so shocked, although he remained calm.

This was exactly what Wangshu wanted to see Jiang Chao look like. She could no longer hide her teasing giggle and continued with a smile.

"Don't worry, it's not your bath water that was stolen. Didn't you wash in a separate pool inside the cave?"

"They are stealing the witches' bath water."

Jiang Chao: “Ah?”

Although there was a twist, the answer was still outrageous.
