Fundamentals of Catching Immortals

Chapter 100 Dream Cloud Creek (Nineteen)

"I became a bird," the voice from the void said, "Look, it's right there."

At the other end of Yunxi, on the sky far north of the village entrance, a small black spot gradually became apparent.

It was indeed a small bird, its feathers were not yet plump, but it traveled over mountains and rivers.

"I'm actually back, but she doesn't know me. She's still waiting, silly girl."

Jupeng's voice was gentle with a touch of sadness: "Since she still has to wait, I can only find another way. But I'm just a bird, what can I do to stop the flow of Yunxi?"

"I thought of a very stupid idea, but it was the only one I could think of."

"I found a lot of small stones that I could hold in my mouth from many places, and threw them into Yunxi. I thought, one day, I can stop this Yunxi from flowing."

Hearing these words, Ah Xu felt that the scene in front of him had begun to change gradually.As the pictures flowed, Feng Niang's beautiful face was eroded by the years with fine lines.The water in Yunxi is still cheerful, flowing day and night without stopping, and the little bird that came from afar has gradually grown up, looking for suitable stones every day, flying back and forth again and again, will hold the stones, and throw them into the water. Yunxili.

However, what are these small stones?

Yunxi is still flowing, as if it will never tire.Feng Niang always sits on a small stool by the stream at the entrance of the village, facing the distance.

One day, two days.

One year, two years.

It's not that no one has persuaded her, but Feng Niang has always just smiled, and when she is persuaded tightly, she just shakes her head with her head down, as if she doesn't want to get in.Seeing that they couldn't persuade her, people gradually stopped asking her.

Sometimes someone would come to sit beside her and chat with her, and sometimes someone would hold a job and accompany her for a while, but the days were too long and too far away, and those people who knew her would one day get used to Feng Niang Because of her persistence, she no longer deliberately came to accompany her.

The child grows up and the old man passes away. Four or fifty years later, Feng Niang, the bride of that year, has also become a dying old woman.

The children in the village knew from peeing that there was a weird old lady at the entrance of the village who would always sit in the same place, just like those stones by the stream.

"What a strange old lady!"

"Don't talk to her, my mother said, she is crazy."

"Crazy? How did your mother know?"

"My mother said that when she was a child, this old lady sat there every day! She didn't do anything else every day, she just sat there doing needlework, exchanged the needlework for dry food, and didn't go anywhere else! It doesn't matter!"

The children in the village whispered and ran around Feng Niang and left.Ah Xu squatted where he was, looking at the direction the child left, and the corners of his mouth were suppressed with anger: "These children are really annoying."

But how did the people back then know what Feng Niang was doing?

Such a weird old lady would be weird to anyone who saw her.

Day after day, year after year, I moved a small stool and waited at the entrance of the village every day, waiting...

What exactly she was waiting for, gradually no one in the village knew.

In 63 years, Feng Niang waited for 63 years.

"I remember the severe drought that year." In the void, the voice of Jupeng sounded again: "As a bird, I have lived for more than 60 years. Although I cannot transform into a human form, I have already opened my spiritual wisdom and entered the demon way. The water in Yunxi was very shallow that year, so I thought it was an opportunity."

"Before winter that year, I actually... really stopped the stream from flowing."
