Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Water Gathering Formation!
Kneel down and call me ‘Dad’?
The words of this short and fat man amused everyone.
Although he seemed to be of a certain age, he certainly knew how to entertain!
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “I don’t really care if you call me Dad. I mean, there’s water here anyway.”
The short and fat man responded speechless, “Young man, stop being pretentious. What’s the point? There are generally three types of groundwater: unconsolidated rock pore water, bedrock fissure water, and clastic rock porous fracture water. The ground under your feet is of the hardest limestone structure, grainy or spotted, evenly granulated, with tiny gaps… Even if you dig ten meters deep, you won’t find any water.”
Huang Xiaolong stopped paying attention to these so-called geological experts. He bent over and began to tap on the stone steps with his hand.
My goodness, it’s solid.
“Master Long, it seems unlikely for water to spring from this spot…” Miao Erfang also knelt down.
“Do you want to bathe tonight?” Huang Xiaolong joked.
“Oh yes, I didn’t bathe yesterday, and I’m uncomfortable. I need to bathe every day.” Miao Erfang giggled.
“In that case, if I extract water from this spot, we can bathe together tonight,” Huang Xiaolong whispered.
Miao Erfang blushed at Huang Xiaolong’s flirtation, a look of playful mischief in her eyes, she cooed, “Master Long, you’re such a tease… Alright, no matter if water springs from here or not, at worst… I’ll accompany you for a bath tonight, will that satisfy you?”
Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily, and thought, “Erfang and Zhou Mi are quite fun as two glamorous hosts.”
Thereafter, Huang Xiaolong began to use his finger strength to sketch on the hard ground.
The hard rock became as soft as tofu under Huang Xiaolong’s fingers. Bit by bit, he sketched the extremely obscure inscriptions.
The bystanders looked at Huang Xiaolong in confusion.
Especially the group of geological experts. They were stupefied watching Huang Xiaolong’s finger draw words on the ground so deeply they penetrated the rock.
“My god, is he using the Diamond Finger technique?” The short and fat man almost had his eyeballs fall out of their sockets.
Soon, Huang Xiaolong finished drawing dozens of inscriptions. These inscriptions seemed to form a peculiar pattern.
“Is this…is this… the rumored Formation?” Xia Ying mumbled dreamily.
“This is called the ‘Water Attraction Formation’, it draws moisture from the air and nature’s spiritual energy to form a spring eye. The water seeped out is called ‘Spiritual Water’, which is priceless,” Huang Xiaolong explained with a smile.
In the end, he poked at the middle of the formation.
And directly poked out a small hole.
The next second!
A breeze picked up from all directions, making everyone feel refreshed!
Incredibly, the wind was converging toward the ‘Water Attraction Formation’!
A miracle happened!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone!
From the hole Huang Xiaolong poked in the middle of the formation, water spurted out!
The clear and pure water carried a refreshing and fragrant scent!
“Erfang, Zhou Mi, go inside and find a few wooden buckets to collect the water,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “See, haven’t I solved the issue with the water?”
“Yes, Master Long, you’re amazing! So handsome!” Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang cheered, then scampered off towards the temple.
The group of geological experts looked as if they had been struck dumb, their faces blank, gazing in foolish awe at the water gushing out from the “spring eye”.
“It… it’s… it’s really flowing…” The short and fat man stuttered.
Huang Xiaolong bent over, scooped up some water, and drank it.
Wow!
Refreshing!
This water was so delicious. No high-end bottled water could compare to it. This was Spiritual Water, a luxury money can’t buy! It was refreshing, delicious, left a lingering fragrance in the mouth, and was full of lasting aftertastes! One sip and every cell in the body was cheering, the hands and feet filled with strength, as if drinking Jadescent Nectar!
If consumed regularly, the Spiritual Water could strengthen the body, keep all diseases at bay, even detoxify! If a martial artist drinks it, their True Qi would become more rounded.
Additionally, using this water to cook rice, make soup, brew tea, or ferment alcohol would result in top-notch delicacies in this world!
“Xia Ying, you should try it.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, “The water is very refreshing, it’s a treat to drink.”
Of course, good things should be first enjoyed by his own woman.
Without a word, Xia Ying bent down to scoop up some water and drink.
After one sip, Xia Ying’s eyes lit up, her face filled with an expression of blissful infatuation. She swore that she had never tasted water this satisfying in her entire life!
Zhou Mi and Miao Erfang fetched a few wooden buckets, filled them with water, and also drank their fill, feeling so comfortable they couldn’t help but praise it loudly.
The geological experts, each of them feeling thirsty, asked for some water to drink but were cruelly turned down by Huang Xiaolong.
The short, fat man wasn’t a fool, he had already recognized that the young man standing before him wasn’t as simple as he looked!
“Young man… um… can I go into this Daoist temple and light an incense stick?” the short fat man asked, hoping to curry favor.
“This isn’t a Daoist temple, it’s the City God Temple. You can light the incense, but remember, sincerity brings spiritual response, insincerity brings harm.” Huang Xiaolong replied seriously.
“Let’s go let’s go, we’re also going to light incense!” A group of geological experts rushed in with excitement.
The City God Hall.
When Huang Xiaolong told the geological experts that each incense stick was priced at 1,000 yuan, the guys’ heads swayed like a drum being strummed.
Only the short fat man, grinding his teeth, bought an incense stick, lit it, and began to silently pray.
His wish is for a child.
The short fat man was in his forties, married for 5 years, but had yet to have a child. Both husband and wife had themselves examined and neither had any physical issues, yet they could not conceive. This had become a major worry in his life.
Today, taking the opportunity of making an offering of incense, whether it was efficacious or not, he wanted to make his wish sincerely.
The wisps of incense smoke rose straight up, reaching the vault of heaven outside the temple.
A hint of pure wishing force emanated from the short fat man and infused into the jade pendant.
In a cloud of rising smoke, Huang Xiaolong saw some scenes.
“Honey, I’m off to work. I’ll be working late tonight, so I’ll be coming home late. Don’t wait for me for dinner.” In the scene, the short fat man, carrying a briefcase, stood in the doorway, and spoke to an extravagantly dressed woman.
“I got it, just go, don’t be late.” the woman urged.
Half an hour after the short fat man left for work, a sneakily sneaking man rang their doorbell. The extravagantly dressed woman opened the door, swiftly looked around a few times, then pulled the sneaky man into the house. “Old Wang, come in quickly!”
The scene shifted to the bedroom.
Sharing a moment of intimacy, the couple exchanged loving words.
“That idiot Old Du still wants a child. After every time we do it, I secretly take a pill. I won’t let him have a child no matter what. Marrying him was just a temporary compromise. Old Wang, you’re the one I truly love! I would be willing to have your child!” At the peak of their affection, the extravagantly dressed woman wrapped her arms around Old Wang’s neck. “Let’s do it again.”
…
“Uhm~~~” Huang Xiaolong looked at the short, fat man with a sympathetic gaze. “You want a child?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I want a child, I don’t know if it will work.” The short, fat man inserted the incense stick into the censer, stood up, rubbing his hands together.
“Go to work tomorrow, then return home half an hour later. Remember, don’t knock, use your key to open the door, make sure to be quiet.” Huang Xiaolong instructed seriously.
“Huh? Why… why… why is that?” The short, fat man looked confused.
…
On a mountain road, a moonlight white Maserati was speeding along.
The beautiful Qinxue was at the wheel, with Mu Yunfan in the passenger seat.
“Qinxue, don’t ever trust that little con artist. Those few incense sticks he offered were specially made to create the illusion of the incense smoke rising straight up. He’s too cunning! Absolutely cunning! He’ll do anything to swindle money!” Mu Yunfan spoke disdainfully.
At that moment!
A fork appeared in the road ahead, splitting the mountain road in two!
“This~~~~~~” Without thinking, Qinxue pressed the brake.@@novelbin@@
“Qinxue, take the right. The path on the right is a shortcut and will get us to ‘Tianchi Temple’ faster. The left path is a detour and it’s very rugged, not a good road to drive on.” Mu Yunfan, the experienced traveler, advised.
……
What do you think?
