Collect dragon bones
Originally, Mo Tian Ge didn't plan to reveal her identity. She just wanted to use these worldly gold and silver treasures to get the fishermen here to help her collect the dragon bones, but unexpectedly this woman was quite astute and recognized her as a cultivator.
However, it's easier to deal with the fishermen here being so fearful of the cultivators. At the same time as showing respect, they also think about their own interests and do things more conscientiously.
When they saw the bag of gold coins, everyone's eyes widened. They lived in such poverty that the most they had ever seen was some loose change, which was already a great fortune to them; as for gold, it was only occasionally seen when they went to the nearby town.
Mo Tian Ge coughed lightly and said, "Eldest Sister, if you can give me all these bones, then these golden pearls will be yours." This bag of golden pearls was the farewell gift from the Ye family when Mo Tian Ge left. Having wealth made it easier to travel in the mundane world, so Mo Tian Ge had accepted them without hesitation. Now, he took them out and used them as a reward for these ordinary people to do his bidding.
The fat man came back to his senses. For a moment, neither of them knew how to respond, feeling both delighted and nervous: "Is what the immortal said true?" As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped himself on the mouth, "Of course, what the immortal says is true, I'm just talking nonsense. However, what bone was the immortal referring to? Where is it?"
Mo Tian Ge smiled at Xiao Bao: "Xiao Bao, you know where it is, right?"
Xiao Bao hastily nodded: "Yes, Fairy Sister said it's over there on the mountain." Then curiously widened his eyes, "Fairy Sister, is this a bone? Why doesn't it look like the bones Father told me about?"
Meng Tian smiled and didn't answer Xiao Bao's question, instead taking out a bag from her bosom and handing it to him. She said softly, "Xiao Bao, take your mom to the mountain over there to pick up some bones, and eat these fruits, okay?"
These are the remaining bubble fruits, they taste sweet and are just right for coaxing kids.
Took a bubble fruit, gnawed on one, and Xiao Bao was indeed very happy: "It's delicious!"
Mo Tian Ge saw him excited, so he said to this poor man: "Xiao Bao knows where it is, you go with him, the sooner you pick it up the better. It's best to call a few more people, some bones are very big - don't worry about being taken advantage of by others, your family can't finish picking them up, and I will reward you heavily at that time."
"Yes, yes, yes." This man didn't dare to object. Hurriedly holding his little son's hand, he loudly called out, "A'nan, stop cooking and go call your father back!" Turning his head, he smiled at Tian Ge, "Immortal maiden, wait here for a moment, we'll be right back."
Mo Tian Ge smiled and nodded, watching as this family began to bustle about.
Not long after, the male owner of the house was called back by the girl. After listening to his wife's words, he hurried over to give Mo Tian Ge a bow. Mo Tian Ge then kept the girl behind to talk and sent her husband to pick up dragon bones for himself.
Knowing she was a cultivator, the girl's attitude was reverent and respectful, standing guard beside her, asking one sentence and answering one sentence.
This is a small fishing village on the east coast, and nearby there are only some similar fishing villages, and there is only one big city called Linhai City. Behind Linhai City is the Bixuan Pavilion sect. They are too remote here, not even a country, so the most powerful force here is the Bixuan Pavilion.
The girl is still young and doesn't know much about other things. Mò Tiān Gē calculated in her heart, roughly understanding where she was.
The Kunwu mountain range stretches across the southernmost part of Tianji, extending all the way to the southeast, and then comes the Tianmo Mountains, blocking the demonic path in the northeast. Therefore, the southern part of the Eastern Sea is the territory of the Tiandao Sect, while the northern part belongs to the Demonic Path. According to Mo Tian Ge's speculation, their location is roughly a small area of sea in the north. In other words, it is very likely that the west side of theirs is the Demonic Path.
Arriving at this conclusion, Mo Tian Ge felt a bit worried. This place was likely a part of the sea adjacent to the Demon Dao's Tian Mo Mountain, which would be dangerous. If they weren't careful and encountered the Demon Dao, it would be troublesome. It seemed that the best way to leave this place was to find the Bi Xuan Pavilion. Since the Bi Xuan Pavilion was located here, they must have a safe method of communicating with the outside world.
Of course, the most important thing for her now is to retrieve the dragon bones. The dragon bones from hundreds of millions of years ago, although their use is currently unknown, the divine dragon's breath on them is undoubtedly genuine and must have some purpose.
It's just that there were too many dragon bones, and when the underwater palace collapsed, a lot of them must have been washed away by the water. Thinking about this, Mo Tian Ge felt a little regretful - if only they could gather a complete set of dragon bones, it would be more convenient to study. Now they can only pick up as much as they can.
After asking the little girl, Mo Tian Ge found out that this family's surname was Shui and her father was called Shui San. Her mother was referred to as Shui San Sao, but she didn't have a name of her own. There was only one daughter in the household, and from birth, the adults had only addressed her as "Ah Nuan Ah Nuan", while others also simply called her Shui Jia Nuan Nuan.
What's in a name? There are dozens of households here, and most families' daughters are called Ah Nuan from birth until they get married, then they become someone's sister-in-law. As they get older, they become aunties, and finally, someone's mother-in-law. From birth to death, most girls don't have names.
Looking at the girl's envious eyes, he felt a little sorry. The siblings were both very clever, Ah Nuan was young but had a lot of logic, knowing to be cautious with outsiders, and Xiao Bao was even more intelligent, a four or five year old child who could speak so fluently was not easy, let alone his family background, where no one had taught him from a young age.
She praised like this, Ah Nuan immediately proudly puffed out her chest: "Xiao Bao just turned one and can already talk, everyone in our village says Xiao Bao is a star from heaven. Father also said that when Xiao Bao grows up a bit more, he will be sent to the city to study, at that time he can find a job in the city and become a city person."
"Oh?" Tian Ge smiled and asked, "Why don't you go take the imperial exam? Can't you become an official then?"
"Father said that we can't go out for our whole lives," Ah Nuo shook her head, "the west is inhabited by monsters, if we go there, we'll be eaten."
Mo Tian Ge heard these words and secretly furrowed his brow. Indeed, the demon she spoke of was probably a person from the demonic path.
"What a pity, I wasn't selected by Bi Xuan Ge. If only I could enter Bi Xuan Ge..."
Mo Tian Ge was slightly surprised and asked: "How does Bi Xuan Pavilion select its disciples?"
"We girls near the seaside city, when we turn eight years old, will go to the Green Pavilion to check...check our spiritual roots. If we pass, we can enter the Green Pavilion and at that time, the whole family can enter the city and become city people." Ah Nuan said proudly, "However, I also have spiritual roots, the receptionist auntie of the Green Pavilion said that my spiritual roots were just a little short, so I couldn't enter the Green Pavilion. But they've already put me on record, if they're short-handed with maids, they'll call me over."
"Do you have a spiritual root as well?" Mo Tian Ge was somewhat surprised. People with spiritual roots were rare among mortals, and it just so happened that he had encountered one.
"Uh-huh." An nodded, her face slightly red, "The matchmaker said that I am... a Five Spirits Root."
"Oh, I see." Mo Tian Ge nodded. The Five Spirits Root wasn't particularly rare, and in her memory, the Bi Xuan Pavilion was a mid-sized sect similar to the Yun Wu Sect. Now that she knew it was located in a small place on the eastern coast where the demonic path was nearby, even if the Five Spirits Root's talent was mediocre, taking her as a maid wouldn't be a problem. It was just a pity for Ah Nuan, whose spiritual root wasn't prominent, but had a good temperament and was intelligent.
Besides, since the Pavilion of Azure Clouds has such a strong presence here. It's better for her to collect all the dragon bones and leave as soon as possible, lest the news leaks out. The divine dragon bones from a million years ago, not to mention the Pavilion of Azure Clouds, even one of the seven major sects would be tempted.
After some thought, Mo Tian Ge changed the subject: "By the way, you girls have spiritual roots and can enter Bi Xuan Hall, what about the boys? Does Bi Xuan Hall only accept female disciples?"
"Uh-huh, so boys are only accepted as outer disciples of Bi Xuan Ge if they have a good spiritual root. I heard from the reception nun that male disciples can only be considered true Bi Xuan Ge disciples after dual cultivation with female disciples within the sect."
The heavenly song is extraordinary and raises eyebrows. This emerald pavilion is indeed an oddity, not only built in such a strange place, but also with such strange rules.
To the west of this place lies the Demon Path, and ordinary people here can't leave for their entire lives. Therefore, they can only join the Bi Xuan Pavilion, which is a sect that only accepts women. As a result, in the Bi Xuan Pavilion, men's status is far inferior to that of women, making them an anomaly even in the entire Tian Ji.
From Ah Rou's mouth, I roughly understood what happened in Donghai. By the afternoon, people who picked up dragon bones came back one after another.
The villagers, led by the husband, really listened and worked together to retrieve all the dragon bones. The largest one was a vertebra, which took four or five people to lift.
Mò Tiān Gē gave the golden pearl to ā Nóng, someone brought dragon bones over and they were distributed among them, like these large chunks of tuǐ bone, more were given out.
The villagers got golden pearls and were not satisfied, so they made an appointment to search on the beach. They searched until evening.
Mo Tian Ge didn't rush either. He asked the fisherman for an empty room and waited for two more days, until they couldn't find any dragon bones anymore.
These dragon bones must have been scattered when the underground palace collapsed. She pieced together a tuǐ and some scattered bones with great difficulty.
However, as long as the dragon bones are collected here, the people of Bi Xuan Ge won't suspect anything even if they hear that a stranger is looking for some bones.
At this time, the fishermen got her golden pearls and were very happy, especially the husband of the water family, Mo Tian Ge also gave them some more golden leaves, and they were even more enthusiastic about their work.
After receiving the dragon bones, Mo Tian Ge asked Shui Wu Xiong about some matters concerning Bi Xuan Pavilion before leaving.
As expected, the Water Tribe elder said that apart from the ocean, they had no way of communicating with the outside world. However, they only had small boats and going out to sea was very dangerous. Moreover, since ancient times, they didn't even know where the ocean led to.
Mo Tian Ge asked, how did the people of Bi Xuan Ge leave? Shui Jia Fu didn't dare to speak rashly, saying that if she wanted to leave, she could go to Lin Hai City and ask, Bi Xuan Ge had a family store there.
The girl was quite surprised, as there was only one sect of immortal cultivation in this place, the Azure Pavilion Sect. Why would they open a shop here? After Water's husband explained it to her, she finally understood that although there was only one sect here, there were many scattered cultivators, especially low-quality male cultivators who were not accepted by the Azure Pavilion Sect and had to cultivate on their own. Over time, many small immortal families and scattered cultivators appeared.
After staying in the fishing village for several days and handling the dragon bone matter, Mo Tian Ge decided to make a trip to Lin Hai City.
Want to go back to Kunwu, or ask for help from Bixuan Pavilion is more convenient.
