Chapter 249 (1/2)
Son? The son of the mountain god? Zhou Tian was shocked.
Mountain gods are different from ordinary spirits. They are formed by the essence of mountains and rivers. They can not reproduce like other demon.
It can be said that the Goblins who become spirits from stone are naturally raised and have no reproductive ability. Even if they incarnate into adults, their essence is still stone.
Many films and television say that monsters can intermarry with people and give birth to descendants. In fact, only a few monsters can combine with people without reproductive isolation.
”Elder, is that your adopted son?” he asked again on Sunday.
The old woodcutter shook his head and sighed, ”no, he is my own son, not an adopted son.”
”Well, well, can I see him first?” Zhou Tian said helplessly.
”Ha ha, I know you can't believe it, but he is really my son.” the old woodcutter laughed at himself.
Zhou Tian hesitated for a moment and asked, ”excuse me for being unreasonable. Elder, you are a mountain god. Logically, you don't have the ability to reproduce.”
The old woodcutter stood up and his face did not change. He had lived for more than 200 years. Naturally, he knew what Zhou Tian meant.
With a long sigh, the old woodcutter looked at the bamboo house and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he said, ”I am not a natural mountain god.”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Tian was shocked again that he could still be like this. The mountain god was not born? This is big news.
”Sir, can you borrow the power of this mountain?” Zhou Tian asked.
”Ha, except that I am not born a mountain god, I am no different from the mountain god in other aspects. The mountains and rivers here still obey my call.”
The old woodcutter gently stretched out a finger. A mountain in the distance was flying with a strong green light, and the whole mountain trembled slightly.
Then the old woodcutter closed his finger and waved it gently. The thick green light returned to the mountains. The mountains were calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Mountain God, the God of mountains, Zhou Tian sighed slightly. Even his current strength can't borrow the power of the mountains and rivers. He can only borrow the energy of free heaven and earth. The mountains and rivers with his own consciousness can't be borrowed at all. He can't agree with them.
”Are you interested in listening to me tell a story?” said the old woodcutter youyou.
”I'd like to hear it in detail.”
Two hundred and thirty years ago, miaojiang just experienced war. Many families lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests in order to avoid war and survive.
One of them, a family of three surnamed Shi, also took refuge in the Yunling trail.
At that time, there were many wild animals and rich wild fruits on the Yunling trail. It was not very difficult to support a family of three with the resources of this mountain.
So the three members of the Shi Family chose a beautiful and safe place to live.
Since he intends to settle down, he naturally needs a place to live for a long time. As the head of the family, Shi Tian is responsible for building houses. There are dense bamboo forests here, so he uses bamboo forests as raw materials to build bamboo houses.
Before the bamboo house was built, Shi Tian's wife and son lived in the cave.
From the beginning, everything was very smooth. Until half of the bamboo house was built, Yunling trail began to show its horror.
All kinds of wild animals haunt everywhere. At night, they can often hear all kinds of voices. It seems that all kinds of monsters are in a meeting. The three members of the Shi family are so scared that they dare not sleep at night and are extremely alert.
Originally, in this tense atmosphere, life went on in order. Because there is a characteristic of Yunling trail, it will become terrible at night. In the daytime, you can walk around. As long as you don't break into the nest of wild animals, you won't encounter any danger and nothing strange.
The three members of the stone family began to adapt to this day and night. As long as it was dark, they hid in their cave and didn't go out.
On the other hand, with the efforts of Shitian, the bamboo house was built bit by bit. In the daytime, Shi Tian built a bamboo house with sweat. His wife prepared water and food for him, and opened up a vegetable field next to the bamboo house, while his son played freely on this three-thirds of an acre. Compared with the people who are still in war outside, it can be called a paradise.
Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful and the good times did not last long. It was on the night when the bamboo house was about to be built. As usual, the three members of the Shi family hid in the cave and didn't go out.
There was a heavy rain that day, and all kinds of strange sounds outside did not stop, but became more noisy. The voice was louder than before, as if it were close at hand, so that the three members of the Shi family didn't dare to rest at all.
