Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

He Kaiyan still remembers that his family moved here when he was in the first semester of junior high school.

At that time, He's mother excitedly told him that they would no longer have to live a life of displacement.

Although the couple could live well anywhere with their income, they still lacked a sense of home.

"Mom, don't you have to go on business trips to other cities?" He Kaiyan asked tentatively.

He's mother had explained to him the nature of her job a long time ago. She was mainly responsible for going to various cities to find some plants that had incomplete records, and then bringing photos and seeds of the plants back to the research institute.

However, the ecological environment in cities has been deteriorating, and many plants that don’t even have names have died out silently.

This is also why He's mother did not stay in each city for a long time, because there were not so many plants in the city for her to study.

Common green belt vegetation or roadside trees have long been recorded in detail, but what she wants to find are rare plant subspecies, or even undiscovered and unnamed species.

When her work was mentioned, He's mother's speech speed suddenly became much faster. "Let me explain it to you, Xiaoyan. Because the city we are going to is called 'Jiaoan City'. There are several mountains around Jiaoan City, and there are very few signs of human development..."

The economic development speed of Jiaoan City is not fast, not as fast as those rapidly changing metropolises. Its advantage is that the climate is very good, which is very suitable for retirement or vacation.

Strictly speaking, Jiaoan City is in the north, but its climate combines the characteristics of both the north and the south. The summer is humid and rainy with a slight heat, while the winter is cold, snowy and very dry.

This results in the mountains around Jiaoan City also presenting two styles. There are snow-capped mountains on the north, and primeval forests on the south, with trees towering into the clouds and no sunlight seen during the day.

Not long ago, a colleague of He's mother went to Xuejiashan near Jiao'an City. The plant species there were so rich that even a professor of botany was amazed. There were many plants he had never seen before, and there were even some extinct rare plants.

If you want to fully study the vegetation of Xuejiashan, it is not a task that can be completed in three to five years. It may take thirty or fifty years.

Considering that Jiao'an City had a decent rate of admission to higher education, He's mother took the initiative to ask the research institute to let her go to Jiao'an City to do long-term research work.

The research institute was also worried that many professors were unwilling to go to this remote small city. After He's mother asked for permission, the institute immediately provided her with a series of benefits.

Among them, the most valuable item is the considerable housing subsidy.

In addition to the house purchased by the He family, the institute also arranged a single-person house near Xuejiashan for He's mother to conduct academic research, with a small laboratory and a courtyard covering more than 300 square meters.

In the first year since arriving in Jiao'an City, He's mother first investigated the rare vegetation in the city before preparing to enter Xuejiashan.

However, Xuejia Mountain is not a mountain that can be conquered easily. The altitude of Jiaoan City itself is over two thousand meters, and the highest point of Xuejia Mountain reaches five thousand meters.

As soon as September arrived, the climate in Xuejiashan became extremely bad. Strong winds, miasma, severe cold... all hindered He's mother's steps.

It is only from the end of May to the middle of August every year that we can go into the mountains to investigate.

In order not to worry her son, He's mother concealed the danger of Xuejiashan.

And now, He's father had to speak these facts for her.

"Before going in, your mother signed two documents. One was a confidentiality agreement, and the other... was that she was willing to take on some of the risks of entering the mountains, even if she would lose her life."

The advantage of Xuejiashan is that it has not been developed and has not been damaged by human beings.

The disadvantage is also the same. Except for a few mountaineering enthusiasts and the forest rangers of Xuejiashan, almost no one dares to enter this mountain of death.

When He's mother went to investigate near Xuejiashan for the first time, she found that there was no village at the foot of the mountain.

This is very unconventional. As the saying goes, live by the mountain and eat from the mountain. Xuejia Mountain has abundant resources, including many Chinese herbal medicines.

But the people in Jiaoan City are unwilling to use it. Could it be that the people here are too lazy to go into the mountains to carry the medicinal herbs?

She drove three or four kilometers before she saw a small house with a kerosene lamp lit.

He's mother knocked on the door and found out that there was an elderly woman living inside.

"Old man, I want to ask you a question. Why is there no one living nearby? Is it because there is no electricity?" asked He's mother.

She observed the facilities near Xuejiashan. There was absolutely no internet access in the area, and even running water pipes were rare.

The old woman living here doesn't have running water at home. She probably relies on the well in the yard to cook and wash clothes.

"There are people living here," the old woman said in a muddy voice. "There are a lot of people living around here, more than a hundred people."

He's mother was stunned, but she quickly remembered that when she was a child, some people did not live in houses, but lived in caves or caves.

Could it be that the same is true for the residents living near Xuejiashan?

But it's the 21st century now, why would anyone still choose such a simple place to live?

The old woman shook her head and asked again, "You don't want to go into the mountain, do you? I tell you, you can't go into this mountain... Anyone who gets close to this mountain will die."

"What? Who died? How did he die?" He's mother was stunned.

The old woman spoke slowly and calmly, as if she was telling a story, as she explained the origin of Xuejiashan.

In ancient times, one side of the mountain range was the Central Plains, and on the other side was a small country called Jose.

Although it is called a "country", there are actually less than 100,000 people in the entire country, which is just a small county town today.

Legend has it that the people of Jose do not farm or raise livestock. The climate in Jose is excellent, and there are naturally grown fruit trees and crops everywhere. The people of Jose can throw their gauze clothes into the river and harvest plenty of fish and shrimp.

Every river channel in Jose is covered with gems of various colors, even more than the stones on the ground.

The people of Jose had no idea of ​​the value of gems, because to them, they could not build a house, they could only be used to lay the floor.

The life span of the Jose people is incredibly long. They will hold their coming-of-age ceremony after living for sixty years, or sixty years old.

Unlike other countries, there are no doctors in Jose, and many Jose people have never known what it feels like to be sick in their entire lives.

Ordinary people had a long lifespan, and the king of Jose had an even longer lifespan. The shortest-lived one lived for three hundred and forty years.

The "Xue" in Xuejiashan comes from this short-lived king. His name was Xue Long, which means amber in the Peacock River.

The king of the Kingdom of Jose is not hereditary, but the new king is elected by the old king.

The day before the old king died, he would have a dream in which the characteristics of the next king would appear.

The next day, the old king died in a dream. He would transform into a divine bird similar to a peacock, pick up the pearl from the crown, and place the pearl at the door of a certain house.

The child living here is the next king. He will be sent to the palace and begin advanced studies.

Seven years later, he will be able to succeed to the throne and officially become king.

During these seven years, all affairs of the kingdom were discussed and decided by several ministers.

Most of these ministers are confidants selected by the previous king. Not only are they extremely intelligent, but each of them is also very loyal and regards the king and the country as more important than themselves.

Xue Long was also chosen as king in this way. Before becoming king, he was just an ordinary child, without even a single advantage.

Every citizen of Jose Country is eloquent and has special skills. Singing and dancing are the most basic. Some people can play twelve musical instruments at the same time. Some can control Jose Country's mythical beast "Bai Mo" to perform. Others can imitate others 100% just by listening to what they say.

But Xue Long was an exception. He knew nothing and was very silent and introverted. He sat by the river from morning to night every day, watching the sunset slowly set.

If he was lucky, he would do what he liked until he died of old age. Even more fortunately, he was born in the country of Jose, where there is no "misfortune".

Even though he is an outlier, no one will jump out to blame him, and his parents will not control him.

Because, in the country of Jose, a person's fate is determined from the moment he is born.

Until he was chosen to be king, his peaceful life was disrupted.

According to convention, each king will be given a title after being selected, and the title is often related to the king's unique expertise.

The first king was so strong that he could easily lift the huge rocks by the river, so he was called "King Sal", which means the majestic king.

Later, there was the "King Jialan" who could weave yarn clothes with trees, the "King Jishi" who controlled the flow of rivers, and the "King Nashe" who was born knowing eight languages...

When it was Xue Long's turn, the ministers all became distressed.

Because he is not talkative, Xue Long has a slight stutter when talking to people. His voice is not pleasant, his limbs are uncoordinated, and even his walking posture is uglier than that of ordinary people.

Animals avoided him wherever he passed, and the flowers he planted as a child dried up and died in less than a week.

Xue Long doesn't really look like a Jose person, but his appearance is obviously different from people from other regions.

After much deliberation, the ministers had to name him "King Xue", which means the king of the Peacock River.

However, Xue Long himself knew that this was not a good name, because the royal title was used to distinguish the king from ordinary people, but every Jose person was born by the Peacock River, and everyone could be called "Xue".

However, once it comes, let's make peace with it.

With the assistance of the ministers, Xue Long also tried his best to complete every task. His work was not difficult and he gradually made progress.

But Xue Long didn't expect that his life would be turned upside down because of another person.

There were almost no affairs to deal with in the prosperous country of Jose. The most Xue Long did was to arrange the guards to take turns on duty and to receive people from other places.

Because of the obstruction of the mountains, few people would cross the mountains and enter the territory of Jose State.

However, there are still a small number of people who accidentally come to the Country of Jose, and everyone who enters the Country of Jose will be amazed by it.

Unfortunately, outsiders cannot live in Jose for a long time. This is not because the people of Jose do not agree, but because after outsiders enter Jose, they gradually become sick and eventually die.

As for what caused their illness, no one has figured it out yet.

Some people say that it is because the water source of Jose State contains some substance, which will cause a poisoning-like reaction when outsiders drink it. The people of Jose State are born unable to absorb this substance, so they will not get sick.

Some people also say that the land of Jose is fertile and the fruits grown there are particularly nutritious. When outsiders eat these fruits, it would be like people who have experienced famine suddenly starting to eat meat and fish every day. In the long run, their bodies will become weaker.

Therefore, if an outsider enters the Kingdom of Jose, he can only stay here for seven days.

On the seventh night, the king would arrange two guards who could move mountains to escort him to a safe place.

The so-called "mountain moving technique" does not mean moving the mountains outside Joseph's country, but allowing people to pass directly through the mountains, just like passing through a wall.

In this way, outsiders can return to their hometown without having to risk crossing the mountains again.

In the 312th year of King Xue's reign, another outsider accidentally entered the Kingdom of Jose.

He was a young man. Unlike the ragged outsiders he had received before, the silk he was wearing was obviously of great value. In the sunlight, it had dark green ripples like the water of the Peacock River.

When the Josés brought the gauze dress, the young man hesitated and said, "Sorry, I'll just wear my own clothes."

"Young man, you can try it on. This dress is light and soft. Look at the robe you are wearing, it is so thick. You will get heatstroke." A woman advised.

But he still rejected Jose's kindness.

After a while, Jose brought fresh fruits and fragrant porridge made with fish slices. Even the most common apples outside exuded a fragrance that made people want to feast on them.

The young man took a bite and put the fruit down. He explained, "This is indeed delicious, but I don't have a good appetite right now. Please take the food away first."

Soon it was night, and as usual, Xue Long held a grand banquet for the guests who came from afar.

"You look a little unhappy. Is it because the performance was not exciting enough?" Xue Long asked.

The young man shook his head and said, "No, everyone performed very well. However, I have a question that I would like to ask Your Majesty."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I want to know how you became king. You must have more extraordinary skills. Please let me see them."

Xue Long was a little surprised. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long time, he said embarrassedly: "Apart from knowing some principles of governing a country, there is nothing else I can show you."
