Translator: 549690339
There is an old saying among the folk, the spring rain is as precious as oil, it even floods the streets.
It means that the rainfall in spring is as rare and valuable as oil.
However, in the Wilderness, the revival spring season is never short of rainfall.
That day, ever since old man Lin came down from the mountain, a continuous drizzle began amidst the groves.
Lush rain wafted down like strands of wool, weaving a vast curtain of rain, moistening the heavy soil of the Wilderness…
One night of rain, waking all beings as if through divine will.
Spring rain continued for three whole days, and only on the fourth day did a hint of morning glow appear in the sky.
At sunrise, old man Lin hurriedly led the group of refugees from the native tribe up the mountain.
Earlier, when he went up the mountain, he had specifically asked for Jiang
Hui’s opinion, regarding meeting the newly added people of the native tribe to
Liu Village, and Jiang Hui was not opposed.
Not that he liked showing off, but there was no choice due to the
circumstances.
Although it had rained continuously for three days, the path up the mountain was not difficult to walk on.
Old man Lin would always go up the mountain during his free time with the boys of his family, Lin, to fix the path. After years of accumulation, they managed to carve a huge stone step pathway leading up to the mountain that was a ten thousand steps long.
The stone steps wound along in a zigzag, like a long dragon.
Surrounding it, lush green grass and a variety of colourful flowers were in full bloom, making it a splendid sight.
Although the journey up the mountain was not exertive, but considering there were a lot of children in the native tribe, as well as expectant women, it still took a little more time than usual.
At midday, the vast group of people finally reached the peak.
This was the first time the people of the native tribe had seen Jiang Hui.
At first glance, they were taken aback by his towering figure that seemed to stand between the heavens and earth, commanding the respect of all beings.
Especially…
The gigantic crown of the tree that blocked out the sky and sun appeared as if it could cover the entire Liu Village.
Which made them feel an inexplicably sense of safety.
“This Deity of Worship is the protector of Liu Village, just seeing it is overwhelmingly amazing!”
Some exclaimed in awe, their mouths agape in sheer amazement for quite a
while.
“What are you saying, that’s our Deity of Worship!
Someone from the native tribe immediately retorted, however, in just a short span of time, they had already completely integrated into Liu Village.
“That’s right, that’s right, I forgot, we are now all people from Liu Village.” The person who first spoke hastily corrected himself, a sudden sense of pride welling up in their hearts.
They were also part of Liu Village, the Deity of Worship was theirs as well!
“Good, good!”
In the crowd, the elderly clan leader of the native tribe was the most excited, he used his walking stick for support, his eyes filled with tears.
In his lifetime, he finally had the chance to meet the Deity of Worship, his life had not been in vain, truly it had not been in vain!
As everything calmed down, old man Lin then began to speak, his expressions were incredibly solemn.
“Now that you’ve all joined Liu Village, naturally, you are now citizens of Liu
Village.”
“As citizens of Liu Village, you should act according to the rules of Liu Village, and the most important of these rules is to respect Lord Willow God above all else!”
“This must be deeply ingrained in your hearts, if there is even a slight violation, you will be expelled from Liu Village, and we would not be responsible for your life or death.
“Every day, regardless of your tasks, you must worship Lord Willow God. Not even the slightest negligence is to be tolerated. This is a strict order. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, absence is strictly not permitted. Have you all understood and remembered these rules?”
The commanding power of old man Lin’s voice echoed in the ears of the people
of the native tribe, ringing loud and clear.
The people from the native tribe hurriedly assented.
Although the old man in front of them looked thin and weak, resembling a weak willow moving with the wind, everyone clearly understood the extent of his authority. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he could easily dictate the life or death of any one of them!
Old man Lin did not speak much, but he emphasized on the important points
to bear in mind.
After that, the regular daily worshiping ritual began.
Old man Lin’s family was in the forefront and the people from the native tribe were behind, all their expressions were sincerely devoted.
And so it continued for a period of time, never stopping, continuing until the change of seasons.
Today, after the daily worship, the faith value of these newcomers to Liu Village finally passed 60, reaching the minimum requirement for teaching.
Jiang Hui immediately informed old man Lin.
Old man Lin didn’t dare to be careless and quickly led the original people of the native tribe up the mountain.
Although he was curious as to why Lord Willow God wanted to pass on the profound scripture to the newcomers, old man Lin had a virtue of never interfering or questioning Jiang Hui’s decisions.
Following the ‘Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask and don’t say what you shouldn’t say’ principle.
All he needed to know was what Lord Willow God ordered him to do and he would do his best to carry it out.
After months, those from the native tribe who newly joined Liu Village had almost completely transformed, they not only looked stronger than before, but they also gained some weight and looked sturdy.
Everyone had a radiant glow on their faces and displayed sincere smiles. “Behold, Lord Willow God will bequeath the Body Tempering Method to all of you One must earnestly comprehend it, within it holds opportunities unimaginable to you. If grasped, it will bring limitless possibilities for your future.
After leading everyone to the top of the mountain, the tone of old man Lin shifted, and he began to patiently advise them.
Regardless, these people were now members of Liu Village; if a few of them could rise to be impressive talent like his eldest and second sons, Liu Village would soon soar rapidly!
In the open space.
Under the instruction of old man Lin, everyone fell to their knees one after another in reverence, their expressions solemn and laced with a hint of excitement.
Before coming up the mountain today, someone had already tipped them off. Every citizen of Liu Village could receive the Body Tempering Method bestowed by Lord Willow God, they were no exception.
Although they were not sure what this Body Tempering Method was, for these tribal refugees who used to be homeless, it represented an unprecedented recognition!
“Lord Willow God has decreed, from today onwards, a separate batch of disciples will be categorised.”
“Disciples will be without distinction, bearing the privilege to listen privy to the teachings of Lord Willow God at any time.
“The Body Tempering Method popularly bequeathed by Lord Willow God will be a shortcut for now to join this group. After you all comprehend it, you must remember to practice diligently on normal days, and strive to become future pillars of Liu Village!!!”
Old man Lin strategically disclosed some future plans to encourage everyone.
With competition comes progress.
The effect was still there, after hearing this many people’s eyes involuntarily sparked with determination.
When everyone was within the appropriate range, Jiang Hui manipulated the willow leaves signalling the start of teaching.
Within a matter of moments.
The method of practicing the ‘Body Tempering Scripture’ appeared in the minds of the thirty odd people present, sounding in their heads like a loud bell. Of course, as everyone’s aptitude varied, their level of comprehension was also different.
However, in the crowd, there was a small figure that caught Jiang Hui’s eye, one he particularly took note of.
It was a young boy of no more than one or two years old, while other children his age were oblivious and only concerned with play, he solemnly understood and comprehended the scripture passed down by Jiang Hui meticulously!
(Recently, the epidemic situation has been worrisome, everyone must take care of their health! Recently, I haven’t been feeling well so unfortunately there will be only an update for today..)
