Chapter 650: Lying Ox Stone

Shi Yong looked blankly,

"Brother, I couldn't see it. It's just an ordinary hill. It's just steeper than the surrounding hills."

"Shi Yong, there are some things you need to learn to imagine,"

"You said you wanted to change yourself, didn't you?"

"Then let your mind be filled with imagination,"

"For example, you and Xiao Qi are now strolling together in this valley,"

"You point to that hill and tell Xiao Qi, that's called Wangfu Mountain,"

"Then you tell her a legend of Wangfu Mountain,"

"It will move her to tears."

"When a woman sheds tears in front of you,"

"it shows she has genuine feelings for you."

"I said to Shi Yong as we walked."

"Shi Yong listened very attentively,"

"After I finished speaking,"

"Shi Yong immediately gave a thumbs up,"

"Brother, your experience is rich; I was saying, why did you bring me here? It's to let me learn more."

"Yeah, to deal with women, you need to make them cry and laugh alternately."

"Only then will they develop feelings for you."

"Brother, I just looked again, and that hill really looks like a woman waiting for a man to return."

"Shi Yong, the purpose of our trip this time to Beishan, Hulutao and other mountain villages is to develop tourism resources here next."

"You see, the mountains here are clear and the waters beautiful,"

"birds singing, flowers fragrant,"

"like a utopia, how wonderful."

"I believe many girls who come here won't want to leave."

"Shi Yong nodded thoughtfully."

"We hurried toward North Mountain Village."

"Before we reached North Mountain Village,"

"I first went to the Nüwa Temple to have a look."

"The treasures in the museum were discovered here,"

"Inside the Nüwa Temple there are some stone tablets engraved with pictures of our human ancestors."

"They are the images of Fuxi and Nuwa,"

"They have human upper bodies, holding gui and chi rulers, representing all the rules of the world; without rules, nothing can be square or round"

"Their lower bodies are serpentine, intertwined, representing human reproduction."

"Shi Yong and I walked up to the temple,"

"The temple is still the stone house I funded Dong Shu to build back then."

"But the door of this stone house has been blocked up with stones."

"I don't know who piled them."

"Around the temple, fragrant grass grows abundantly,"

"making it look quite desolate."

"After walking around the temple, I sighed,"

"then went to the ditch in front of the temple,"

"because the Hama Spring is in this ditch,"

"It is a divine spring,"

"one never knows when or where it will emerge,"

"Some people wait many days here just for a sip of Hama Spring water."

"To drink this water requires fate."

"Really, it depends on the spring's mood."

"I remember it clearly,"

"Back then, Xia Yuan knelt all around here praying for the spring water, and her sincerity finally moved the spring,"

"It welled up from underground."

"I stood in the ditch,"

"the vegetation here is very lush,"

"some grass grows taller than a person,"

"finding the spring water is therefore difficult."

"I could only climb up from the ditch,"

"After climbing up, I saw huge Lying Ox Stones,"

"These stones are very smooth,"

"like slabs of beds laid flat on the ground,"

"It is said that the gods deliberately left these stones here so that couples who have drunk the Hama Spring water have a place to rest."

"Everything here is nature's marvelous craftsmanship."

It is admirable.

I sat on this smooth stone,

I took out a cigarette,

My first date with Qiao Jie was right here,

The two of us sat on this Lying Ox Stone,

We talked heart-to-heart and exchanged thoughts.

Qiao Jie's disappointment with my body seems right before my eyes.

The vows we made to Qiao Jie back then have also faded away.

If I hadn't left Beishan, I might have spent my whole life living here with Qiao Jie.

People, there is always an invisible hand arranging our fate.

I took a puff of cigarette, and then thought of Xia Yuan,

Xia Yuan and I also sat on this Lying Ox Stone before.

We smoked together,

Together we sat here waiting for the Hama Spring water.

Xia Yuan had a distinctive way of smoking,

She liked to gently bite the cigarette with her teeth,

Xia Yuan also met her end, her fragrance faded and her jade shattered.

I will never again meet a woman as good to me as she was.

I sit here and reminisce about her for a moment.

Really, I need to thank Xia Yuan; if it weren't for her support back then, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Xia Yuan not only supported me financially, but also guided me spiritually.

She let me experience a different life, a different kind of woman.

Life is a kind of experience; only when you have gone through much,

do you understand what the true essence of life is.

Because the surrounding grass is taller than a person, sitting on the Lying Ox Stone you cannot see the outside world at all; likewise, people outside cannot see any movement inside the Lying Ox Stone.

The design of heaven and earth is truly reasonable; these grasses form a curtain that intentionally blocks others' views, to facilitate marital relations.

The mountain wind outside was blowing whoosh-whoosh,

there was not a breath of wind on the Lying Ox Stone,

Looking up, you could see the deep autumn blue sky, a true blue with not a cloud for miles.

The sun shone on this stone,

the stone was heated up nicely,

I involuntarily lay down on the stone,

At that moment, my world suddenly grew quiet,

No more worldly worries; no more trivial life matters to disturb me.

Heaven and earth, all things at this moment turned into nothing.

My heart was still as water.

I truly wanted to lie here for a lifetime.

Actually, the travel people like is nothing more than going to an unfamiliar environment to relax their inner selves.

I think this place is the best.

If in the future the Beishan mountain area is developed, the stones and grass here will remain undisturbed,

let them grow naturally,

let those who need quiet come here to lie down for a while,

to experience the state of selflessness; Buddhism speaks of sudden enlightenment, Daoism speaks of attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal.

Actually they are much the same; both require a quiet environment,

to let the body relax and the mind be free.

Gazing at the blue sky, gazing at the distant mountains,

the heart drifted like a piece of cloud,

not knowing where it would drift to,

Drifting and drifting, aimless, reasonless; unconsciously I fell asleep.

Did I fall asleep? I don't know,

I felt a continuous stream of heat flowing from my lower back into my body,

to drive out the past coldness within the body.

The gate inside my body from the past suddenly opened, and blood suddenly flowed toward a certain place.

I actually had a reaction,

I quickly opened my eyes and woke up.

I sat up from the stone,

The fatigue from walking just now was swept away in an instant.

My body was full of energy.

A feeling I had never had before.

At this moment my body felt like it did when I was youngest, that impulse, making people excited.

Because my body was injured, it has never recovered.

I still understand my own body.

And thus I no longer have any desire.

But at this moment, my body already has that kind of impulse.

The past pain no longer follows me.

Just now, while walking on the mountain path, my body still had a faint pain.

Everything has disappeared.

That is, this Lying Ox can cure men's ailments.

This Lying Ox Stone is a huge energy stone; it can give people tremendous energy.

I suddenly realized something,

Over there is Hama Spring; after women drink it, they have that kind of thought, and this Lying Ox Stone is also a power source for replenishing energy.

Only when combined do they become perfect.

Why didn't I think of this earlier,

Back then, if I had lain on the Lying Ox Stone to sleep, perhaps my body would have recovered long ago.

Even if my body recovered, I could not possibly leave Beishan; life has no "ifs".

Why let couples who have drunk the spring water live here,

Simply by living here, men also become different.

The Lying Ox Stone can replenish men's energy.

So that people can continue fighting, the probability of pregnancy will thus be high.

It is truly miraculous.
