Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 68 Earth Vein Array
"leader!!"

Niu Yi turned around, looked at Niu Li who was running towards him quickly, smiled, and said:
"Didn't I tell you to stay in Jindou Cave and not come out because there might be some noise today?"

Niu Li looked at his leader standing there in good health, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said helplessly:
"I'm sorry, Chief, but this noise is..."

His leader said the commotion might be a bit loud, but what happened just now was not really a big deal!

First, there were the deafening roars of dragons and tigers, and then the sunny sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and heavy rain began to fall. How could he not be worried?

Although he knew that he could not help his leader by coming out, he was so anxious when he heard the noise outside that he ran up.

Niu Yi, holding the scroll of the Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl, stepped forward and said soothingly:
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's my fault for not making it clear before. You three just need to comfort everyone."

Three?

Niu Li was stunned and turned around, only to see Niu Ping and Niu Feng running up behind him.

"You two, didn't I tell you to stay in the cave?"

Niu Feng ran closer and saw that his leader was fine. He immediately showed excitement. Then he looked at Niu Li, who was breathing heavily through his nose, and quickly explained:

"Sorry, Boss Niuli! Everyone's a little worried about the leader! But don't worry, we've stopped everyone else!"

"That won't work! You two are just that limited."

Hearing Niu Li's scolding, the two little bull spirits immediately lowered their heads, while Niu Yi on the side watched the scene with a smile.

The little bull spirits on his Jindou Mountain don’t have so many thoughts. If they like someone, they like him, and if they hate someone, they hate him. They like their leader, so naturally they will love him sincerely.

"Chief! Then I will take them both away and go appease everyone."

Niu Yi looked at Niu Li who picked up Niu Feng and Niu Ping, one in each hand, and nodded with a smile.

"Haha~ Go ahead."

Seeing Niu Li coming down the mountain, Niu Yi opened the picture of dragon roar and tiger roar again and admired the real dragon and tiger in the picture.

After he refined the Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl Diagram into his life-long magic weapon, not only did it become more powerful, but the real dragon and tiger also seemed to have become much more spiritual. With time, it was possible that they would develop intelligence and transform into dragon and tiger spirits.

At that time, when the treasure map is unfolded, the dragon and tiger will fly out. He doesn't need to pay much attention to them. The dragon and tiger will be able to fight on their own, and their power will be much increased.

Niu Yi put away the treasure map and walked slowly to the edge of the pond. He saw that there were few spiritual fish in this huge pond. They were obviously frightened by the sudden change and had all hidden away. Only two golden koi were left, swimming around restlessly at the bottom of the pond.

There were three pearl-like golden seeds glowing slightly between the two golden pond koi. The two golden pond koi did not try to hide, apparently to protect the three fish eggs.

Back then, the land of Baoquanjian gave him many spiritual fish, but only the Golden Pond Koi were a male and a female. He never thought that after ten years, the Golden Pond Koi actually laid three eggs.

Over the years, these spiritual fish have been fed with fish food made from spiritual fruits and spiritual materials. They are all fat and strong. Many white-grade spiritual fish have directly advanced to blue-grade, and these two golden pond koi are only one step away from advancing to purple-grade. This year, they even laid these three fish eggs.

Niu Yi casually took the stone bowl on the stone table in the pavilion, grabbed a handful of colorful fish food from it, and threw it into the water.

"Wow~"

As the fish food continued to fall into the pond, there was a splashing sound, and the spirit fish hiding under the lotus leaves and flowers and under the mud at the bottom of the pond suddenly rushed out and ate the fish food.

As for the two Golden Pond Koi, one rushed out to grab the food, while the other remained guarding the roe. Every time Niu Yi scattered the food, the other of the two Golden Pond Koi would take over the food, while the remaining one would guard the roe tightly.

After Niu Yi finished spreading the fish food in the stone bowl, he saw that the spirit fish had obviously recovered a lot. Then he casually returned the stone bowl to the stone table and turned to walk towards the thatched cottage. He had now mastered the Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar Diagram, but his Golden Spirit Jade Bamboo had not yet been fully refined. He still needed to practice daily and comprehend the theory of cause and effect.

Unfortunately, the Earth God is in Shangtang Village at this time, and seems to be preparing some formation. He is unlikely to return for a while. Otherwise, he would definitely take some time to take the Earth God to drink another jar of wine, but now he can only postpone it.

Outside Shangtang Village.

"Village Chief, we've got the hemp rope! Shall we tie it here?"

At this time, a man came to Liu Gui holding a ball of hemp rope as thick as a thumb.

"That's right. Tie them one by one on the marked tree trunks. Remember to make sure they are secure."

"Don't worry, village chief!"

The man nodded quickly when he heard it, took one end of the hemp rope and began to wrap it around the trunk of the tree and tie it tightly, then stretched the hemp rope straight and continued the process on the next tree with a mark engraved on it.

Liu Gui looked at the hemp rope with a deep gaze, but his mind was recalling the dream he had two days ago.

Since the statue of the God of Land was erected under the tree at the entrance of the village two days ago, he received a dream from the God of Land that night.

He could not remember the appearance of the Earth God after he woke up, but he remembered his words clearly. The Earth God taught him to erect rocks and tie hemp ropes at certain specific places in the jungle near Shangtang Village.

This is a simple formation that can drive away beasts and protect his Shangtang Village from being attacked by wild beasts.

The land around Shangtang Village is fertile. As long as it can be cultivated, it will soon become good farmland. At this time, with the efforts of everyone in Shangtang Village, a large number of fields have been added while sowing and cultivating.

In addition, there are many trees in the mountains and forests, which are inexhaustible. There are also many pheasants and rabbits. There are also many fish in the stream behind the village. The only thing that worries him is the wild beasts in the mountains.

Recently, Liu Gui was worried because of the occasional sightings of wild animals near the village. Although a high fence had been built around Shangtang Village, it was still extremely unsafe compared to the sharp claws of the wild animals.

If this simple formation is really useful, then he will feel much more at ease.

After a while, the man tied the last hemp rope tightly and then said goodbye to Liu Gui and left.

Seeing that the last location for the land god to teach the magic circle had been completed, Liu Gui did not go home. Instead, he came to the land god statue at the entrance of the village to burn incense.

The land temple in front of Liu Gui was actually an exquisite wooden hut, and the land statue in the hut was a stone statue of the land god with a smile and a stroking beard.

"Blessings from the God of Land"

Liu Gui lit incense, bowed, and then turned and left.

In the forest, the God of Land saw this scene and nodded with a smile. He turned to look at the hemp rope tied to the tree trunk and the rocks beside it, and stomped the wooden stick in his hand!
"Boom~"

As the ground fluctuated, the Earth God activated the local earth veins, causing the power of the earth veins to continuously connect along the hemp ropes and rocks, and finally circled the entire Shangtang Village, forming a simple magic circle.

"Haha~ That's all that's needed. Shangtang Village now has the power of the earth veins. If any evil spirits or ghosts enter this area, I'll be able to sense them."

"Add to that the divine consciousness on the statue, and everything will be safe. I can leave here too."

"Haha~ It looks like Niu Yi has mastered his magic weapon. Let's go back and ask him for a drink~"
