"Work time! Work time!"
It was still early dawn, and a large group of construction workers wearing yellow hard hats and carrying various tools walked along the packed dirt road to the temporary construction site. The excavator parked on the hillside was quickly started, breaking the quiet of the early morning.
A dark-skinned construction worker in his forties with dry, cracked lines on his face, halfway through his work, looked strangely at the mountaintop: "This mountain? How is it different from before?"
Because it wasn't fully light yet, they hadn't noticed the changes on the mountain before. But at this moment, everyone immediately noticed the strangeness of the surrounding environment.
Many people looked up and saw that the originally bare mountaintop was now covered with dense green grass.
The higher up they went, the denser the green became. In many places, white flowers and small saplings had even grown. The saplings were over a meter tall, as if they had shot up this high overnight.
"Yesterday when we left, there was nothing here. How did so much grass suddenly grow on this barren mountain, and these trees? These trees couldn't possibly have grown this tall overnight!" A young man, speaking with a northern accent, adjusted the yellow hard hat on his head.
"Let's go up and see!"
"Let's see what's going on!" The construction crew workers put down their tools and walked up the hillside.
Many workers walked in amazement over the hillside covered with green grass, touched the small saplings with tender leaves, and walked up while exclaiming. Then they stood on the side of this hillside.
Subsequently, everyone stopped in their tracks.
Every single person stared dumbfounded at the main peak of Lord Finger Mountain in the distance. The rocky peak near the coast had now turned into a green ocean.
"Holy cow! Is this fake?"
"Isn't this a barren mountain? I remember before this mountain was just full of pits and broken rocks!"
"I remember there was nothing here yesterday!"
Everyone present, seeing this scene, immediately recalled what it used to be like here.
At that time, the peak exposed its black ridge, the hillside was dug full of holes, and there were broken stones and gravel everywhere. People didn't even dare to walk below the mountain because they could easily be hit by falling stones.
But at this moment, large areas of trees had sprung up from the ground on this peak, covering the entire mountain. The grass was lush, and green vines were everywhere.
From the peak down to the valley below, everything was covered by plants. Especially on the main peak, the plants were so dense they were squeezing each other, giving a sense of everything growing freely and survival of the fittest.
"How could this be? Is this a divine manifestation?" The dark-skinned middle-aged worker, stunned, pulled off the yellow hard hat on his head.
"How did this mountain change like this overnight?" The young worker took out his phone, pulled up the photos he had taken a few days ago, and showed them to the people around him.
Everyone compared the photos and couldn't believe that the mountain in the photos and the mountain they were seeing now were the same one.
"A miracle! This is a miracle! This is the Mountain God Bodhisattva showing his power!" An old worker with somewhat gray hair, after comparing the photos, immediately knelt down towards the mountain, clasped his hands together and bowed, continuously chanting Amitabha.
"Didn't they say there are immortals in Wei Port City? I heard people say that before. It seems this place is really not simple!"
"I heard someone say before that Wei Port City is a branch of the overseas Dragon Vein, connected to that overseas immortal mountain, Penglai Island. This is a blessed land!"
In the afternoon, workers from nearby industrial areas, shop owners, and residents living nearby also gathered around. The hillside and mountain paths were full of people.
Many people even walked down personally, following the valley full of green grass and blooming flowers, heading towards the main peak of Lord Finger Mountain. The main peak was covered in dense jungle, with shrubs growing wildly and vines hanging everywhere. There was no path to walk into.
Everyone could only take pictures and exclaim. No one dared to walk into it yet.
The next day, many people in the valley below even brought food and sat on the ground to eat lunch. The originally poor and desolate mountain, where no one ever came, now attracted many people to come and admire it.
"The trees grew this tall overnight?" A girl wearing a T-shirt with "XX Company" printed on it looked at the original barren mountain in disbelief.
"It's still growing. Look at the grass, and the valley below. When I came yesterday, there wasn't this much grass and trees, and the trees on the mountain weren't that tall. In the morning, most of the trees were only two meters tall, but now look, they've grown to almost three meters!" The girl's boyfriend pointed at the mountain and said.
Next, news reporters from the TV station also rushed here. A male reporter holding a microphone walked around Lord Finger Mountain, recording and explaining, and occasionally interviewing the surrounding people, asking about the recent magical changes of Lord Finger Mountain and the origin of its ancient legends.
"This mountain has dragon energy. A certain emperor stayed here back then!" An old man with a cane gesticulated excitedly in front of the camera.
"It's dragon energy, this place is a dragon vein. Look, it's only been a few days, everyone knows what Lord Finger Mountain used to be like. The original dragon vein shifted, and now it has returned!" This was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat mystical.
"What dragon energy! It's all lies!" An old lady scoffed at him, giving him a look of disdain!
The middle-aged man retorted unhappily: "Immortals have appeared, how can dragon energy not exist!"
Some photography enthusiasts set up cameras on the mountain and started broadcasting. Immediately, it could be seen that the plants on the mountain were growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. This scene spread online, and everyone couldn't believe it, further attracting a large group of people who came to see it.
Subsequently, professors from the School of Biology at Yubei Agricultural University also came here with their students and assistants to investigate the reasons and factors behind the abnormal growth of plants on Lord Finger Mountain.
The entire Wei Port City knew about the matter of Lord Finger Mountain. The number of people coming to Lord Finger Mountain became immense, and various legends about this place spread everywhere.
Many people came to witness such a miracle, while more people came to see the beautiful scenery of Lord Finger Mountain. In less than a week, Lord Finger Mountain underwent even greater changes. Many photos taken from here were as beautiful as a fairyland. Layers of vegetation and valleys full of blooming flowers covered all the mountaintops.
However, subsequently, the entire Lord Finger Mountain was sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or exit freely.
Layers of barbed wire were erected, and soldiers even stood guard at the entrance. A biological laboratory for studying the changes and plants of Lord Finger Mountain began to be established internally. Some members of special organizations also began to be stationed here, responsible for management and coordination.
Lin Yu stopped her wine-red electric scooter below Lord Finger Mountain. At this moment, it could be seen that high barbed wire fences had been erected around the base of Lord Finger Mountain, and a temporary road had been built leading into the mountain.
The originally bare Lord Finger Mountain, which could be seen through with a single glance, was now covered with vegetation. Hundred-year-old giant trees dozens of meters tall were everywhere. The original valleys and mountain paths had now turned into deep tree seas. At this moment, if someone walked in, they would probably get lost.
Flowers and grass grew wildly on the ground, and various plants and flowers bloomed competitively. Because it was covered with plants, Lord Finger Mountain felt taller and more unfathomable. At this moment, the vast sea of trees and high peaks seemed to have no end.
Lin Yu looked up. It was morning, and thick fog still lingered on the mountainside of Lord Finger Mountain.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, Lord Finger Mountain looked even more hidden and magical, as if it were truly as the legends said, that a dragon vein was lurking underground here, a legendary blessed land and cave heaven, the residence of ancient immortals.
At this moment, a sky full of birds suddenly flew over, their chirping attracting the attention of many people along the way.
Lin Yu also looked up at the dense flock of sparrows, which seemed to number hundreds or thousands, flying towards Lord Finger Mountain and entering the jungle on the mountain.
Recently, it seems various birds, beasts, wild dogs, wild cats, and rats have been entering Lord Finger Mountain in droves, as if attracted by something. Lin Yu had seen and heard people talking about this in chat groups online before.
Lin Yu took out her phone, opened the Weigang Cultivation Alliance group, and sent the photo she had just taken.
Ruthless Fairy: "I'm here! Today, this fairy will enter Lord Finger Mountain to explore the legendary Blessed Land."
Qingyang Wanderer: "Forget it, I went yesterday. The defense is incredibly tight. I tried to sneak in but was kicked out!"
Lin Yu's delicate little nose twitched: "That's you! I'm not just anyone! I have connections!"
Celestial Master Zhang Heming: "Who exactly is this fairy who always gets firsthand information? I heard Lord Finger Mountain is under military lockdown. There are army patrols day and night. I checked last night, and searchlights were sweeping back and forth. I even heard the sound of military dogs and immediately ran back in fear."
Zhongnan Qi Practitioner Jia Yi Yi: "Fairy is awesome! Can you take me in with you? I want to see it too!"
Lin Yu hummed a few boastful sentences, then picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Sis! I brought you something to eat! Come out and get me!"
Lin Shu on the other end of the phone immediately said: "I don't need you to bring me anything to eat. My work meal is enough."
Lin Yu pestered her: "This is a meal filled with my deep love! It'll get cold if you don't come out! I cooked it myself just for you, you can't just..."
"Alright, alright! Wait for me outside!"
Not long after, with a clang, the large gate at the foot of Lord Finger Mountain slowly opened. A beauty wearing a uniform, with a height that was somewhat imposing, walked out. Her exquisite face looked like an elf from a fairy tale, making people curious to see if her ears were pointed.
She walked out with her long legs, looked at Lin Yu, took the insulated container, and turned to leave: "Okay! You can go back now!"
"Huh? No... Sis... just take me..." Lin Yu immediately used herUltimate Coquetry Technique (sajiao dafa - coquettish technique)!
"Don't even think about it. You can't get in, and there's no way I can take you in! Go home!" Lin Shu, with the absolute advantage of her height, looked down and tapped Lin Yu's little head.
