Chapter 105 Stone Godmother 2
The trials and tribulations of Wushan are too far removed from Zhaoqian Village.
The villagers cultivate this land day after day, hoping for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest.
In their spare time, several women would bring their children and set aside a space to chat, so they could be close to their godmother without disturbing Bai Xian.
Even the poor have their ways of living. Women are never idle; besides working in the fields, they also have to prepare meals, sew clothes, weave straw sandals, raise chickens and ducks...
The most difficult time is when your hands are busy while your stomach is also occupied; more often than not, the baby doesn't survive.
Someone came to Bai Xian seeking a childless person. Seeing that the person's head was practically buried in the ground, Bai Xian telepathically informed him that there was a "Fertility-Stopping Technique" for men.
It's basically about having Stone Godmother use her spiritual power to perform tubal ligation, which is non-invasive, painless, and leaves no scars.
Qian Liuzi hesitated after hearing this. Bai Xian told him to go back and think it over, so he went to the Qian clan chief's house to ask for advice.
Unexpectedly, Chief Qian was much more anxious than Qian Liuzi. He had many sons and even more grandchildren, and he couldn't even build enough houses for everyone. He hurriedly went to ask the immortals to stop the birth of his children.
So the open space where the women used to chat was borrowed, and they managed to put together an offering table, incense burner, and offerings, waiting quietly to the side.
Quite a few people came, including men who needed to stop having children and their families. The little children were all kept at home.
Bai Xian sat on a lotus platform. Once everyone had arrived, he made a feint, but in reality, he turned on the special effects.
The villagers who wanted to kneel before the incense table were gently lifted by a breeze and then made dizzy by the special effects.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Stone Godmother had completed the ligation of the immortals for everyone.
Where in the world can you find a godmother as wonderful as her?!
...
Rongrong took root near her godmother Stone, thinking that when she grew into a big tree again, she could definitely shelter Pingping from the wind and rain.
Unlike the White Fairy, who only knows how to eat fruit all day long.
This is also one of the benefits of their strange cultivation of the Moon Worship Technique: they don't need to wait for people to make offerings, and they won't be entangled in karma.
When villagers brought patients seeking treatment, Bai Xian Dou Dou would glance at them with her small eyes and instantly prescribe medicine, even more so than the old doctor at the clinic.
After discussing it, the two spirits telepathically told the villagers that they were using traditional remedies and that there was no need to go to the county town to get medicine, since the villagers generally couldn't afford any good medicine anyway.
In addition to her cultivation, Stone Godmother also learned from White Fairy how to prescribe medicine, identify medicinal herbs, and perform acupuncture. She also bought courses from the system store to learn.
Otherwise, what else can a stone spirit do?
There's absolutely no gossip or drama in this place; the villagers of Zhaoqian are just too simple and honest.
The Wanqingshan Mountain behind the village is not as famous as it seems; there are fewer rabbits there than elsewhere, so small spirits can't get close enough, and large spirits don't even bother with it.
The fact that the original owner was able to develop sentience is a testament to the good deeds accumulated in his past lives.
Bai Xian found a small golden hoe and planted peanuts and flavorful berries behind the small temple. In just three months, he had a harvest.
A world with spirits is wonderful!
This made Stone Godmother extremely envious. After taking the tonic, she let her spiritual power grow wildly and rampaged through the distant mountains, giving another nest of man-eating monsters a hard time.
However, because they were marked, the spirits would all die no matter where they fled.
After venting her frustrations, Stone Godmother felt her thoughts were clear and finally understood the art of magic.
...
Inside the county government office at the foot of Wushan Mountain, the officials who had been possessed by Xiao Yi in his dream dared not be perfunctory or careless, and ordered that the children be sent back with gongs and drums.
The children did talk about how Granny Wushan turned to ashes.
Upon hearing this, the people in the county who had long suffered from the strange and cunning creatures gathered together to find a capable person to go up the mountain with.
The story was pretty much as the dolls had described; the spirit dust had all been blown away, but they had found many human skeletons in the mountains.
When the officials in the government learned of this, they arranged for people to dig a pit and bury the skeleton.
The matter was not considered closed until there were no further repercussions.
However, the nobles in the prefectural city had some insights into this matter.
"I bet it's some old monster accompanying a junior to practice their skills." "Why not some important figure seeking revenge?"
"So this revenge is going after two different groups? And they even died in different ways, while those at Wushan haven't even been wiped out..."
Someone with powerful connections chimed in, "Perhaps the other group of spirits encountered a powerful being who was in a bad mood, so..."
Everyone agreed with this statement, and then the topic was changed to the garden of the female head of the Wangcheng family.
*
In this world, there are spirits and monsters, and people can cultivate Taoism. Women live much freer lives than in previous dynasties.
When a female peddler came to Zhaoqian Village before, no one was surprised. The villagers only envied her for being strong and having a way to make money.
As for Feng Qingcheng, the female head of the Wangcheng family mentioned by the nobles, she is an outstanding one and the owner of the garden in the original owner's previous life.
That day, the powerful and the wealthy joined forces, intending to seize the garden and offer the spirits within to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Feng Qingcheng had a backup plan. The spirits who could escape fled, while those who couldn't left their mark and remained subservient, waiting for the future. The original owner was one of the more unlucky ones.
After all, Feng Qingcheng never expected that someone would bring a sentient stone as a gift, just to freeload at her family's banquet...
When the original owner was stuffed into the garden, Feng Qingcheng was told by the fragrant and clever creatures who ate flower petals and drank dew that her tastes had changed...
Feng Qingcheng, a former special agent who transmigrates to another world, refuses her destiny as a princess and lives a life of luxury as a local tyrant in Wangcheng, spending money to raise spirits.
Even princes came to her door begging to become her son-in-law; they probably had their eyes on the little sprites in the garden.
Many wealthy families enjoy interacting with spirits and monsters, and Feng Qingcheng is considered a serious enthusiast. She often takes the spirits on outings and lake trips.
They also found a female tutor to teach them to read and write, and at the request of the Feng family head, they told them many stories about spirits repaying kindness by having their hearts dug out to make elixirs.
The powerful figures who harmed the original owner in their previous life and were subsequently sold to powerful officials behind them have been turned into livestock and sold into the den of man-eating demons, a practice known in folklore as "creating livestock."
The human traffickers, who colluded with the spirits, also enjoyed the pleasure of being treated like livestock. After these creatures, who had taken many lives, were devoured, the fairy den finally achieved its own happy ending.
If word gets out now, some powerful figures and influential people will likely suffer for their reputations.
Actually, these people weren't much better in their past lives, after all, they were stealing the garden from the female protagonist of a strong female-centric story...
...
It's another beautiful day.
Stone Godmother suddenly felt very hungry and wanted to eat something, but as a stone, she had no form and no mouth, so she could only go to the system space to get some lingering soul meal.
She even pestered Bai Xian to plant some cabbage for her, so she could make sauerkraut and store it in her space to eat later.
She felt obligated to try the flavors of food from different little worlds.
However, the focus now is on transforming the medicine; the herbal decoction is clearly not potent enough, so we need to add more...
Stone spirits taking a bath? You've never seen anything like it before, have you?
