Chapter 387: The Spiritual Turtle Opens Its Mouth for Food
After bidding farewell to the uncles and aunties at the entrance of the village, Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina went home to put down the peaches and sausages sent by Uncle Wang and others, and then went to the Workers and Peasants' Council.
A wide path had been cleared in the nearby woods, and villagers were passing by, and when they saw Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, they all greeted them.
By the creek, a turtle was lying there basking in the sun, but with its mouth open, as if waiting to be fed.
Villagers passing by would throw a small piece of bacon or some fruits and vegetables for good luck.
In just half a year, villagers in the villages in this area formed some legends about this "feeding" incident.
For example: if the food you throw happens to fall into the mouth of the Lingyun turtle, you will receive the turtle's blessing and be free from illness and disaster for the whole year; if the food is not thrown into the turtle's mouth, but the turtle crawls over, picks it up and eats it, you will also receive a blessing.
Anyway, according to the villagers, as long as you throw food to the Lingyun Turtle, you will definitely receive blessings. Even if the Lingyun Turtle does not eat, it is still a warning to others.
"This turtle is much bigger than last year!"
Xiao Wu looked at the Lingyun turtle, who was "stretching out his mouth when food was served," and felt both angry and amused.
What’s infuriating is that a soul beast doesn’t want to practice cultivation and be self-reliant, but instead does the job of “begging” and lives a pretty comfortable life.
What’s funny is, isn’t this a form of coexistence between humans and soul beasts?
It’s not that soul beasts can’t coexist with humans, but that they can’t coexist with soul masters!
This must be the world's fault!
"It's indeed a little bigger." Zhou Qing agreed, but he was not talking about the size of the Lingyun Turtle, but the natural tree, the golden tree, behind it.
The sapling has grown to about ten centimeters tall, has four forked branches, and the number of leaves has reached more than twenty.
You know, it’s only been half a year since the Workers and Peasants Council and the vegetable market were established, but in such a short period of time, the golden tree has grown to such a lush extent.
Simply incredible.
A soul beast that has transformed for 100,000 years needs to come into contact with humans and be infected with human breath in order to cultivate quickly...
Now, Zhou Qing feels that the scope of this phenomenon can be expanded a little bit. That is, for soul beasts that have not transformed, long-term contact with human breath may also be able to speed up their cultivation.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why some soul beasts with relatively docile temperaments can be tamed.
However, the reason why this Lingyun Turtle can cultivate so quickly, in addition to the fact that it has been exposed to various human auras in the past six months, is also because the golden sapling behind it is also growing vigorously, blessing the Lingyun Turtle where it is rooted.
Regardless of whether it was Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, or Romantina, they could all feel at this moment that the energy of heaven and earth condensed around the Lingyun Turtle was much richer than that in ordinary areas.
This may also be one of the reasons why the villagers of Shenghun Village and other villages choose to feed it: as long as they get close to the Lingyun Turtle, the villagers can instinctively feel that the surrounding air is fresher and breathing is smoother.
“It is really hard to imagine how great the role this Lingyun Turtle will play in gathering the energy of heaven and earth when it grows up in the future.” Tang San was filled with emotion.
Especially the natural tree on the back of the Lingyun Turtle. If it can really stand tall, then the people living under the tree, regardless of the quality of their martial souls, may possess innate soul power.
"Let's go to the workers' and peasants' council."
After visiting the Lingyun turtle and feeding it a few large peaches, Zhou Qing called the three people to their former secret base, which is now the venue for the Workers and Peasants' Council.
Passages were dug out all around the Tianjing Cave. Together with the passage that originally led into the cave, there were a total of eight passages: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, running through all directions.
A row of low houses has been built around the inner edge of the wall for vendors from various villages to set up stalls, and houses are still being built on top - this is what Zhou Qing did according to the architectural drawings of the earthen buildings in his previous life, in order to construct the office space for the major branches in the future.
The house of the Workers and Peasants Council was where the Soul Saint originally resided.
Now the mushroom house has been renovated with the help of the Holy Soul Villagers. It has white walls and black tiles, and it looks brand new. Even the interior has been painted. When Zhou Qing entered, Old Jack and the heads of other villages were discussing the establishment of a vegetable market guard. After all, people from all villages come here to sell and buy vegetables. Even some villages in the Xingluo Empire heard about this and came here to join in the fun.
With more people, there are more cases where residents from different villages have quarrels or even fights over trivial matters.
Therefore, it is inevitable to organize the young and strong people in the village to uphold justice and maintain order.
"If you ask me, it's after those people from Xingluo came that we have more fights here."
"Yes! I agree!"
"You can't say that. In our area, there have been armed conflicts between villages in the past."
"Which side are you on, old man? I know! You have a son who married a woman from a small village over in Xingluo, so speak for them!"
"Don't spit bloody words at me! I'm just speaking the truth!"
For a moment, the old people in the meeting started arguing with each other, and the curses they hurled at each other were extremely unpleasant.
However, they all cursed at each other and no one attacked old Jack.
After all, this place is still the territory of the Holy Soul Village, and it was discovered and established under the leadership of two talented soul masters from the Holy Soul Village.
If you offend old Jack and get kicked out, you'll have no place to turn for justice.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the conference room, and then Zhou Qing pushed the door open and walked in.
"Xiaoqing, Xiaosan, you're back!"
When he saw the two people, old Jack's gloomy face immediately turned into a smile, and he felt that his backbone had returned.
"Grandpa Jack, I heard everything you said just now from outside the door."
Zhou Qing glanced at the other village heads who had also stood up with respectful expressions, and said, "When there are too many people, there will be disputes. This is inevitable, and the same is true in the city.
In the final analysis, everyone still feels that they are from a certain village, and do not regard the workers and peasants council as a real collective.
However, I believe that in the future, people in each village will get to know each other better, the population will increase, the number of houses will continue to increase, and the villages will be adjacent to each other, that is, one village, or one town. "
After hearing this, an old villager seemed to have figured something out and said excitedly, "I never understood why the city is so large before. Now that you have said this, I understand. It turns out that the city is made up of villages put together."
Now, the other village chiefs also understood something.
It turns out that their ultimate goal of uniting together is to turn each village into a city like Nottingham and Falling Star?
As expected, he is a soul master who went to school in the city!
How amazing!
"That's about right." Zhou Qing smiled, then corrected, "But don't call me Master Spirit Master. I'm the initiator of the Workers and Peasants Council. Just call me the president. Tang San is the vice president, Xiao Wu is also the vice president, and there's this newcomer, Romantina. She's from the city, and although she's a little dumb, she has some theoretical knowledge on how to manage a team."
"Hello, grandpas, I'm Romantina." In front of a group of old men, Romantina completely restrained her nature and looked serious.
The village chiefs present, including old Jack who had met Romantina, could not help but stand in awe...
