Chapter 828 Nothing to do
Xiao Mi Mountain is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people and blessed land. It is a place full of spiritual energy, lush vegetation, and naturally there are many birds and beasts. Gu Shiyi is now a real dragon and has the natural power to suppress all beasts. Wherever she goes, as long as she releases her breath, no matter whether it is flying in the sky or running on the ground, they must surrender. Originally, there were a few troublemakers in this mountain, but after being beaten and taught a lesson by Gu Shiyi, they all obeyed her.

After walking in the mountains for a long time, Gu Shiyi discovered something strange.

"There is abundant spiritual energy here. Logically, there should be many spirits and monsters, and many that have transformed into human form. But why are there mostly beasts, few monsters, and even fewer that have transformed into humans?"

After such a long time, she finally saw a Moon that could transform. Gu Shiyi was also curious, so she sent a message to summon Moon in Liuguang City back. When Moon came back and heard that Gu Shiyi was asking about this, she blinked her green bean eyes a few times, thought for a long time, and then said,
"I don't know either, but my family originally came from the Great Abyss. When our ancestors first came here, they told our people that... there seemed to be black energy in the Great Abyss that was not conducive to cultivation, and here..."

She pointed down.

"All the beastmen who practice here are like this. They cannot transform into human form for many, many years. Even if they transform into human form, they will be struck to death during the heavenly tribulation!"

Hey! This is a bit weird!

"Then... why can you transform into a human form?"

Wangyue tilted his head and thought for a long time.
"I... don't know what's going on..."

This story began a thousand years ago, when Wangyue was still a giant turtle in the river. Although she had lived for thousands of years, she had never cultivated any magic or skills. She only absorbed the sun's essence during the day and the moon's essence at night, day after day, year after year, without being able to change her form. Just when she thought that such days would pass forever, suddenly one night, Wangyue saw that the moon in the sky was particularly bright, and it was a good opportunity to absorb the moon's essence, so she floated to the surface, stretched out her limbs to absorb the moon's light, and as she was absorbing it, she heard a rumbling sound in the sky, and something suddenly lit up, and then became brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, brighter than the moon in the sky, so bright that it even penetrated the turbid river water, and even the silt at the bottom of the river could be seen clearly. Wangyue had never seen such a bright thing in her life, and she was so scared that she retracted her head into her shell and dived into the water.

Only when it reached the bottom of the water, there was still nowhere to hide from the light. Wangyue didn't dare to look at it, and just shrank into the shell without moving. After about half an incense stick of time,
"boom……"

Something fell into the river, and by chance it hit Wangyue's head as he leaned out to see what was going on.
"…I felt a headache at that moment…and I knew nothing after that!"

Wang Yue frowned and thought hard for a long time.
"I don't know what happened afterwards. After I woke up, I suddenly had something extra in my head. A few years later, one day... there was a sudden thunder in the sky. For some reason, the thunder struck me specifically. I was so scared that I hid everywhere, but I couldn't escape. After a few hits, my shell fell off, and I crawled out naked, and I became a human!"

Even now, when Wangyue talked about how he became a human, he still looked confused. Gu Shiyi, however, smacked his lips, sensing something strange.

"Afterwards, did you ever think about what hit you on the head?"

Wangyue thought for a moment and said,

"I have thought about it, and even searched the bottom of the river, but I didn't find anything rare!"

Gu Shiyi frowned,
"This is a bit strange. It seems that Wangyue turned into a human form because something hit her head. If that's the case, there are some intelligent beasts in this world who can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and practice according to their nature. But... among so many beasts, not a single one has turned into a human form... There must be some unusual reason!"

And then I thought,
"The thing that hit Wangyue on the head must be of great importance!"

She was also bored after being quiet for a long time, so she decided to go find that thing and asked Wangyue,
"The place where you were hit was where we met, right?"

Wangyue shook her head.

"No, the river where I used to live is not there. A thousand years ago, there was an earthquake, and a crack appeared in the ground a thousand miles away from the original river. As a result, the original river changed its course and became the river that came later. The original river has dried up because there is no water. Now... now... I don't know what it has become!"

The changes in the world are just a small change for these beastmen whose lifespans are thousands or even tens of thousands of years!

Gu Shiyi became more curious as he listened.
"Since we have nothing to do, let's go and look for it... Is that thing still there?"

The moon blinked its eyes.

"You can't find it! It's been a thousand years... I couldn't find it back then, how could you find it?"

Gu Shiyi chuckled and said,

"Aren't there still the Jin Er couple... Let's take them with us to look for it, we will definitely find it!"

Oh! Yes, there are also Mr. and Mrs. Jin!
Wangyue immediately became interested.
"Okay, okay, let's go now!"

Gu Shiyi was also an impatient person, and nodded when he heard this.

"Let me arrange it!"

This time, she estimated that it would only take a day or two to go out. She only needed to open the defensive magic circle, so she asked everyone, and it was still better for the king and the monk Shijie to stay at home. The king wanted to use the spiritual spring to practice well, and the monks did the same. So Gu Shiyi took Fox, Wangyue, and her own Danzi out with her. With her demon wind escape speed, she went at full speed and arrived at the place Wangyue mentioned in half a day. Gu Shiyi and everyone stood in the sky. Fox scanned the nearby terrain and said,
"Gu Shiyi, although this place has been here for thousands of years, you can still vaguely see that there are indeed traces of ancient river channels..."

The shallow river beach was now covered with grass and trees, but the area between the two mountains was covered with gravel and no grass or trees could grow. Therefore, traces of river corrosion could be seen on the rocks. Gu Shiyi asked Wangyue,
"Do you remember where you were hit?"

Wangyue thought for a moment, raised his hand and pointed to the rolling hills ahead.

"It should be there..."

There are hills there with little undulations in the terrain. The river flows gently here. A thousand years ago, it should have been an open river beach, a semi-wet and muddy land, and it should have been a place where amphibians such as turtles like to stay.

Gu Shiyi looked at the Jin Er couple on his shoulder and found that they both raised their heads at the same time, as if they were sniffing the air. After a while, they pointed to the left front.

"There……"

The place they pointed to was a large piece of fertile land in the hills. Surrounding the fertile land was a row of villages and houses. Gu Shiyi liked the hustle and bustle the most. Seeing this, he laughed and said to the fox,

"Let's go down and take a look!"

When they landed on the ground again, they had become a big family. A tall and strong young man was driving a carriage. In the carriage sat a beautiful young wife, an ugly old woman, and a dog with a white egg in its mouth.

As soon as this strange group entered the village, children gathered around to look at them. Some of the brave ones asked,
"who are you?"

The young man laughed and said,
"We are just passing by and would like to ask for a bowl of water..."

An old man in the village heard this and pointed ahead and said,

"There's an old well under the locust tree over there, just go and fetch some water!"

The young man thanked his father-in-law and gave the child who asked the question a piece of candy. Then he drove the cart over to the locust tree, looked at the ancient well, reached out to take the wooden bucket beside it, and threw the bucket into the water.
"Boom..."

With a sound, the wooden barrel was filled with water, and two three-legged frogs also followed the bucket into the water. After the young man fetched the water, he helped his young wife and elderly mother in the cart to get off to drink water, and then used his own bucket to give water to the horse. After he had served the whole family, he sat down on the edge of the well, scooped the water in the bucket with a large porcelain bowl, and drank it himself.

After a while of drinking water and resting, the two toads climbed out of the well by themselves. Seeing that there was no one around, they spoke in human language:
"The smell in the well is very strong, but the things are no longer here..."

"…It's not too far away, it should be in this village…"

It was another toad who spoke. The young man nodded and squinted his eyes, scanning the rows of cottages in front of him.

"Can you smell which one it is?"

The two three-legged frogs took a quick look and one of them said,

"It should be in the houses to the east..."

The young man nodded, helped his family into the carriage, and drove it eastward. He slowly passed by several families in the east. When he arrived at the fourth family, he suddenly looked up into the courtyard.

The houses here all have an outer courtyard and inner rooms. The outer courtyard depends on the financial resources of the owner. Some are fenced, some are surrounded by wooden fences, and some are built with stones. The one the young man saw was fenced. There were bamboo chairs in the yard, and there were many chickens and ducks. When they saw strangers coming, they immediately ran away, cackled.

Someone in the house heard it and came out to check. Seeing that it was a stranger passing by, he did not suspect anything and nodded to the young man driving the cart in a friendly manner.
"Where are you from, young man?"

The host was a farmer in his thirties, with a simple and honest face. The young man smiled and nodded.

"I came from the north and wanted to go to Liangshui City in the south..."

The farmer nodded without saying anything, but the young man suddenly gave him a strange smile, and the farmer's eyes became dazed.

"Uncle, I want to ask you something..."

The young man's voice was very clear and pleasant to the ear, making people want to tell him everything.
"Young man, you say..."
