Chapter 1094
Upon seeing Ah Yan's mark, Ah Cheng's mouth dropped open in amazement. "Amazing! How did this mark come about?" "I don't know. Just now, when I was bandaging the little squirrel's wound, a red light fell on my palm, and then this mark appeared," Ah Yan said. "Me too!" Ah Cheng said excitedly. "Just now, when I was fetching water from the stream, an orange light fell on my palm, and then this huge stone mark appeared." As they were talking, they saw Ah Huang, who lived in the wheat fields, approaching. Ah Huang was a quiet boy, the same age as Ah Yan, with fair skin and long hair, like a girl. He was dressed in green coarse cloth and held a sickle, clearly having just returned from the wheat fields. Ah Huang was exceptionally sensitive to plants, a renowned "little plant expert" in the valley. He could tell if the crops needed water or fertilizer just by touching them; he could tell if flowers and plants were sick just by smelling them; he could even talk to the plants and understand their thoughts. The villagers all said that Ah Huang was the reincarnation of the Valley God, and with him around, the valley's crops would never fail. "Ah Yan, Ah Cheng, are you going to the altar too?" Ah Huang asked, approaching them. "Yes, Grandma Valley called us." Ah Yan nodded. "By the way, Ah Huang, look at our arms." He and Ah Cheng simultaneously raised their arms, revealing their own marks. Ah Huang, upon seeing their marks, exclaimed in surprise, "You have a mark too? Me too!" He raised his left arm, revealing a yellow wheat ear mark, its edges gleaming with a faint yellow light. "Amazing! Our marks are all colored and different in shape," Ah Yan exclaimed excitedly. "Your wheat ear mark is very similar to your ability." Ah Huang nodded and smiled, "Yes, I was working in the wheat field just now, and a yellow light fell on my palm, and then this wheat ear mark appeared. I feel like I can now talk to the wheat in the field. They're telling me they're healthy and will soon mature." As the three of them chatted, they walked towards the altar. Along the way, they encountered Ah-Lu, who lived in the bamboo forest; Ah-Qing, who lived on the cliffside; and Ah-Lan, who lived by the lake. Ah-Lu was an agile boy, a year younger than Ah-Yan. Small but nimble, he glided freely through the bamboo forest, climbing trees faster than a monkey and even leaping from leaf to leaf like a swift bird. The villagers said Ah-Lu was the reincarnation of the Monkey God and would grow up to be the most formidable explorer in the valley. Ah-Qing, the same age as Ah-Yan, had dark skin, resembling a black man. He wore green, coarse cloth and lived in a cave on the cliffside. Every day, he climbed to the top to survey the scenery beyond the valley. He could see hundreds of meters away, even the feathers of birds flying in the sky. The villagers said Ah-Qing was the reincarnation of the Eagle God, and with him, the valley's inhabitants would be safe from surprise attacks. Alan, a boy a year older than Ayan, was a skilled swimmer. He was tall and fair-skinned. He wore a blue, coarse cloth and lived in a small wooden cabin by the lake, where he swam daily. He could hold his breath underwater for half an hour, darting through the water like a fish, even diving to the bottom and finding the deepest spring. The villagers said Alan was the reincarnation of the water god, and with him, the valley's inhabitants would be safe from flooding. To Ayan, Acheng, and Ahuang's surprise, Alu, Aqing, and Alan all had corresponding colored markings on their arms—Alu's was a green bamboo leaf, Aqing's was a cyan eagle eye, and Alan's was a blue water droplet. Furthermore, their markings had suddenly appeared just now. "Amazing! All six of us have colored markings," Ayan said excitedly. "Do you think this has something to do with Grandma Gu coming to visit us?" Everyone nodded, their hearts filled with wonder and anticipation. When they arrived at the altar, they saw Granny Gu standing beside the white jade stone, anxiously awaiting them. Granny Gu smiled with delight upon seeing the six children. "I'm so glad you've come." "Granny Gu, what do you want from us? We all have strange marks on our arms," Ah Yan asked impatiently. Granny Gu looked at the six children and said slowly, "Children, the marks on your bodies are the result of the spirit seed of Qinglan Valley." She paused, then told the six children in detail how the Black Wind Monster had invaded Qinglan Valley a hundred years ago, and how the elders had sacrificed themselves to seal it away. The six children gaped in amazement. They had never imagined that Qinglan Valley had such a tragic history. "Now, the crystals of the protective formation have shattered, and the spirit seed has awakened, possessing you," Granny Gu continued. "The power that sealed the Black Wind Monster is weakening, and it's about to break free. Only you can stop it." "But there are only six of us, and where's the spirit seed in the crystal?" Ah Lu asked doubtfully, clutching a nearby bamboo. He moved very gently, afraid to break the bamboo. Granny Gu was about to reply when she heard a clear song from the west end of the valley. The song was sweet, like the sound of spring water or the chirping of birds, soothing to the ears. Everyone looked up to see a little girl in a purple dress, stepping on flower petals and floating down from the sky. The girl looked only about ten years old, with pale skin, long hair like a black waterfall, and large eyes like two purple grapes, making her look incredibly adorable. Her name was Ah Zi, and she lived with her grandmother in the valley's medicinal fields. Ah Zi had been treating illnesses with herbs since she was a child, and was known in the valley as a "little miracle doctor." She only needs to take a look at the patient's symptoms to know what disease the patient has and what herbal medicine is needed for treatment; she only needs to smell the scent of the herb to know whether the herb is poisonous and whether it can be used; she can even talk to flowers and plants and know the medicinal effects of flowers and plants. The villagers said that A Zi was the reincarnation of the flower god. With her around, the villagers in the valley would not be troubled by diseases. A Zi landed on the altar and said with a smile: "I'm here! Just now a peony flower told me that there is something urgent here and asked me to come quickly." She raised her right arm, revealing a purple petal mark, with a faint purple light flickering on the edge of the mark. "Great! The seventh spirit seed has also been found!" Grandma Gu said excitedly, with a relieved smile on her face. Seven was almost extinguished. He knew that if this continued, some would fly to the wheat fields, and some would fly to the bamboo forest,
