Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!
Chapter 463 Returning to the old place
"I know." Lucifer didn't seem surprised: "Where in the underworld is not your hometown?"
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Jiang Lu scratched his head, thinking about how to explain:
"After leaving the underworld, it is true that the entire underworld is my hometown, but that is the country, and there is a hometown below, m3?"
"Why is there a West Coast accent?" Lucifer seemed to understand: "So, this is where you were born, right?"
"Yeah." Jiang Lu nodded, touched the road sign that read "I miss you in Huangquan", and took a deep breath: "I was born and raised in Huangquan, but I haven't been back for a long time."
His tone became somewhat emotional: "There is a legend in Huangquan. Before the three realms were divided and the underworld was established, a lost woodcutter mistakenly entered this uncivilized and barren land and nearly died in the mouths of those evil monsters several times.
After escaping danger several times, his luck seemed to have finally run out, and he was about to suffer a disaster that could not be resolved no matter what. At this moment, a god appeared, saved him, and gave him a magic weapon that allowed him to walk freely in the underworld.
The woodcutter wanted to repay the immortal, but the immortal said that he had been trapped here for a very long time and had no desires or requests. If the immortal had to repay him, it was that he hoped to drink a sip of the Yellow Spring Water hidden deep underground here, so that he could escape and ascend to heaven.
However, the water of Yellow Spring was buried very deep, and it was impossible for the woodcutter to dig it out alone, so the immortal thought it was just a casual remark. Unexpectedly, the woodcutter took it seriously, and from then on he settled down here, no longer thinking about finding his way home, but just used the magic weapon given to him by the immortal to collect treasures and make tools, and then dug down day and night.
I don't know how much time had passed, but at the moment before his death, he actually dug a hole through the ground, and the water of the Yellow Spring gushed out, not only resurrecting the woodcutter who was supposed to have died, but also gathering into a river, nourishing generations of people in the Yellow Spring. It's a pity that the immortal did not appear at the end of the story, and no one knew whether he was really escaped.
So when I was a child, my mother always said that people born in the underworld are the most grateful. The woodcutter was able to dig out the water from the underworld because his spirit of repaying a drop of water with a spring of water moved God, which enabled him to succeed.
This story inspired me throughout my childhood. I once vowed that if I ever held a high position, I would definitely carry forward our Huangquan spirit.”
"Have you developed it?" Lucifer asked.
"Half of it has been developed." Jiang Lu answered seriously, "The spring that repays a drop of kindness with a spring of water has no chance to be developed for the time being."
Lucifer was speechless: "It's only Huang, right? And I know a lot about the underworld, how come I have never heard of this legend?"
"Then I don't know."
Jiang Lu shrugged:
"Anyway, my mom told me this. Maybe it's something the older generation used to coax children. You know, the older generation always likes to make up some positive energy chicken soup stories for children to listen to.
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that during that period my mother particularly liked to play Minecraft, the game that keeps digging, so I have reason to suspect that she was taking advantage of the situation. "
"Alright, alright, stop talking about this." Lucifer waved his hands, looking somewhat helpless: "Let's talk about the locations. You remember the locations, right? Now go find them one by one."
"Oh, right." Jiang Lu closed his eyes and recalled, then nodded confidently: "I remember all the locations, and this is my happy hometown, so there will be no problems. Leave it to me."
five minutes later.
Jiang Lu walked into a 24-hour convenience store and said to the clerk with a smile: "Hello, may I ask for directions?"
Comparing with the reference objects around him, Jiang Lu finally confirmed that the past half hour was not in vain.
"Where is the bag you promised to take care of?"
Lucifer asked expressionlessly: "And are you sure that Huang Quan's spirits know how to be grateful? Why would they deliberately point us in the wrong direction if you don't give them money? How on earth does this kind of customs have anything to do with gratitude and noble character? " "You can't say that." Jiang Lu smiled awkwardly: "If you gave them money, wouldn't they know how to be grateful and point us in the right direction immediately?"
"."
"Anyway." Jiang Lu changed the subject: "This is the first point."
He pointed to a closed shop in front of him and was wondering how to get in, but suddenly he remembered something.
"Ok?"
"What's wrong?" Lucifer looked at him curiously.
"Here." Jiang Lu rubbed his chin. "I have a very deep impression. Although the appearance has changed, I am sure that there used to be an old lady selling candy here. She liked me very much and gave me candy for free every time she saw me, so I would come to visit her every day after school."
"Are you here to visit her or to eat and drink for free?" Lucifer shook his head: "I can't say."
"What are you saying?" Jiang Lu was inexplicably angry: "Obviously the old lady is happy about it, right?"
"Okay, okay, so how do we get in?"
Faced with Lucifer's urging, Jiang Lu didn't say much. He just stepped forward and pushed open the door of the shop.
The heavy chain as thick as an arm hanging on the door broke lightly, like a fragile chopstick.
Walking into the narrow flat, they found that there was nothing here, only a faint sweet smell that seemed to have been forgotten for a long time.
There was thick dust everywhere, and a few rotten wooden chairs were piled haphazardly in the corner. Jiang Lu could no longer remember whether he had sat on any of them before.
"It's been so many years." Jiang Lu sighed: "Grandma must have died a long time ago."
"Grandma said thank you to me." Lucifer pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to say anything if you can't speak."
After searching the surroundings, the two did not find any valuable clues, so they had to leave.
Fortunately, there are six points in total and this is only the first one, so they are not in a hurry.
After some more asking for directions and Lucifer paying a lot of underworld currency that he wanted to take back to hell as a souvenir, they arrived at the second place.
"Where is this..." Jiang Lu was stunned again.
"What?" Lucifer looked at the plaque in front of him: "Huangquan City No. 1 Primary School, is it your alma mater?"
"Hmm," Jiang Lu's expression became a little strange: "Although this is also a place I often hang out, to be precise, I can't be considered a graduate here."
"why?"
"Because when I was in the third grade, I was found secretly in the toilet by the dean, and then I was expelled."
"?" Lucifer gave a thumbs up: "Young and promising." (End of this chapter)
