The Soul Realm was a very peculiar world. In this world, every person's soul could be seen by others. Furthermore, a person's soul would usually appear three feet above their head, but it wasn't a physical body. It was like a projection, floating above the person's head.
In the Soul Realm, a person's soul was generally divided into two major categories, the living soul and the tool soul. The living soul was very simple. It was the soul that appeared in the form of a living creature. This kind of soul was also generally divided into two major categories, the plant soul and the beast soul.
As for the tool soul, there were more forms. However, for the sake of better differentiation, tool souls were divided into three major categories in the Soul Realm. The first was the weapon soul, the second was the craftsman soul, and the last was the object soul.
The weapon soul referred to the soul in the form of various weapons. The craftsman soul generally referred to the form of a person's soul, which was the form of the tool used by the craftsman. As for the object soul, it was the most extensive. It included all the objects used by humans, from the knife to the pen, from the table to the iron pot. As long as it was something used by humans, it was within the scope of the object soul. Of course, strictly speaking, the craftsman soul and the weapon soul were also included in the object soul. However, in the Soul Realm, the craftsman soul and the weapon soul were separated separately.
In the Soul Realm, every person's identity and status were determined the moment they were born. This was because in the Soul Realm, everyone relied on their soul to distinguish their identity. In the Soul Realm, souls were also divided into noble and lowly. The weapon soul was the noblest, followed by the beast soul, then the craftsman soul, then the plant soul, and finally the object soul. In the Soul Realm, those with object souls were the most numerous. However, at the same time, these people had the lowest status.
In one of the thirty-six prefectures of the Soul Realm, Sky Province, East Arrival Prefecture, there was a small village at the foot of Jade Mountain. This small village was called Tree Root Village. No one knew how long this small village had existed. In any case, the people in the village had lived here for generations. This was an object soul village. The people in this village were all object souls, which were the lowest class of souls. They could only work every day and pay large amounts of taxes. Fortunately, the crop yield here was very high. Coupled with the fact that it was backed by a mountain, the villagers could occasionally hunt some wild beasts to exchange for oil and salt. Although their lives were poor, it was still bearable.
On this day, there were many people standing outside the door of a house in Tree Root Village. These people were holding something in their hands. It was nothing more than some floral cloth, eggs, and the like. Most of them had a sickly complexion, and the clothes on their bodies were very shabby. Right now, they were all sitting in the courtyard of this house, whispering to each other. Meanwhile, a woman's hoarse voice could be heard from inside the house.
Two men, one old and one young, were pacing back and forth in front of the house. This was a small straw hut. The walls were made of mud bricks, and the roof was covered with thick grass. The courtyard was quite big, but most of the places were planted with vegetables. It was already April, and the weather in Tree Root Village was very warm. The vegetable sprouts had already grown, and it was a field of green. It was very pleasing to the eyes.
Right at this moment, the woman in the house let out a high-pitched scream. After that, there was no sound. Everyone in the courtyard became nervous.
Soon after, the door of the hut was pushed open. A white-haired woman walked out from the house. The two men, one old and one young, who had been standing in front of the door, immediately surrounded her. Both of them were eagerly looking at the woman.
The woman looked at the two men, then she said, "It's a boy. Soul Plant!"
Upon hearing this, the people in the courtyard became excited. The two men in front of the door were very happy. They just stood there and giggled, completely forgetting about other things.
At this time, an old woman wearing coarse short clothes came over. She cupped her fist and said, "Thank you, Granny Liu. My Root Village is very grateful. This is the wedding money, please accept it." Granny Liu nodded and said, "Thank you.
The woman wasn't polite. With a smile on her face, she received the copper coins that the old man handed over. Then she smiled and said, "Village Chief Tian is too polite. I didn't expect your village to have a person who can plant souls. If he is properly trained in the future, then he will certainly become a person of importance. Your Tree Root Village will also benefit from this."
Village Chief Tian quickly said, "Thank you for your auspicious words." At this time, the two men in front of the hut came over and thanked Granny Liu profusely.
Granny Liu just smiled. Then she walked to the side and said a few words to the other women before she turned around and left. After Granny Liu left, an old woman came out of the house. This old woman was wearing coarse grey clothes. Her hair was already white, but she still had a smile on her face. In her hand, she was holding a small baby. The baby's eyes were closed and he was sleeping soundly. Three feet above the baby's head, there was a blade of grass that was green and full of vitality.
The old woman was holding the baby with a smile on her face. When the other people saw the blade of grass on the baby's head, their faces also showed excitement.
Village Chief Tian excitedly looked at the baby and said, "Good, hahaha, very good. Our Tree Root Village finally has a Soul Plant Soul. Although it's only the lowest grade of Grass Soul, it's still a joyous matter. Everyone, let's go home and take out some food. Let's have a party today." Everyone cheered. Then they put down the things in their hands and turned around to leave.
After everyone left, Village Chief Tian turned to the old man with a silly smile and said, "Brother Tian Zhu, I didn't think that your family would become rich. This kid is related to our Tree Root Village. You must take good care of him. I'll go home and bring two jugs of wine. Let's have a good time." Then he turned around and left.
At this time, Tian Zhu regained his senses. Just as he was about to speak, he discovered that the village head had already walked far away. He quickly turned his head to the youth beside him and said, "Tian Zhuang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare. Since they've already sent so many things over, we need to prepare as well. Hurry up and go. My grandson is a Soul Plant Cultivator. Our Tian Clan will have hope in the future."
At this time, Tian Zhuang also came back to his senses. He responded and immediately ran to a small room at the side. That was the Tian Family's warehouse. He wanted to take out some good things to entertain everyone, because the Tian Family had hope.
In the Soul Realm, one's soul determined one's identity. Take Tree Root Village as an example, everyone here was a soul. Tian Zhu's soul was a hoe, Tian Zhuang's soul was a shovel, the village head's soul was a table, and the other villagers' souls were all kinds of living utensils. There was nothing special about them.
After a while, Tian Zhuang took out all the good things in his house. There wasn't anything good, just some bacon, dried wild vegetables, mushrooms, and the like. These things were already considered good things in the village. Ping Jin and the others were reluctant to eat these things because they could be exchanged for oil and salt in the city. But since they were happy today, Tian Zhuang didn't hesitate to take these things out.
At this time, the old woman who was carrying the child had already put the child back into the house. Then she walked out of the house and stared at Tian Zhu, "You old man, the older you get, the more backward you become. Whatever you want the child to do, he'll do it. Come, help me. Let the child go in and see his wife."
When Tian Zhu heard the old woman, he regained his senses. He immediately nodded and said, "Right, right. Tian Zhuang, quickly go and see your wife. She's the hero of our family. You don't have to worry about the things here. Go."
Tian Zhuang happily complied, then he threw the things on the ground before turning around and running towards the house. The house was divided into two rooms. Upon entering, there was a small square hall, which was usually used for eating. Behind the square hall was a small kitchen. On both sides of the square hall were two rooms. One was for the old couple while the other was for Tian Zhuang and his wife.
Tian Zhuang quickly ran into his room. In his room, there was a wooden bed and a wooden wardrobe. At this time, the wooden bed was covered with a curtain. But now that the curtain was lifted, a woman was lying on the bed with a baby beside her. At this time, the woman was looking at the child with a happy expression on her face.
This woman wasn't very beautiful. Her hands and feet were thick. At a glance, one could see that she was a woman who often worked in the countryside. But at this moment, her face had a pure and holy radiance, making her look very beautiful.
When Tian Zhuang entered the house and saw this situation, he couldn't help but lighten his footsteps. He slowly walked towards the bed and looked at the woman and the child. His heart was filled with happiness. He looked at the woman and smiled, "Cuifen, you've worked hard."
Cuifen looked up and looked at Tian Zhuang. With a smile on her face, she said, "Brother Tian Zhuang, I didn't work hard. Look at this little guy, how beautiful." Then she turned her gaze towards the child.
At this time, Tian Zhuang also turned his gaze towards the child. To be honest, a newborn child wasn't very good-looking. Its small face was wrinkled, and it would take a few days for it to grow up. But now, in Tian Zhuang's eyes, this not-so-beautiful baby was the most beautiful baby in the world.
Tian Zhuang stretched out his hand and touched the baby. However, he was afraid of hurting the baby. The baby's soft skin made Tian Zhuang afraid to touch it. He was afraid that his rough hands would scratch the baby's skin.
Just when Tian Zhuang was at a loss, he suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard. He knew that the villagers had come. Tian Zhuang reluctantly stood up and said to Cui Fen, "Cui Fen, the villagers have come. Father and mother are too busy, I'll go out and take a look."
Cuifen nodded and said, "Brother Tian Zhuang, you go do your work. Right, let Mother bring me some water. I'll give the little guy some to drink." Tian Zhuang nodded and then turned around to leave.
A lot of people came to Tian Zhuang's courtyard, all of them were villagers. These people were holding some things in their hands. Some were holding a piece of bacon, some were holding a dried chicken, some were holding some vegetables, and some were holding tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks.
Tian Zhu was greeting the villagers while Tian Zhuang's mother was putting those things on the table. Then she called a few of the villagers to build two temporary stoves and prepare to cook.
At this time, the Village Chief also came in from the outside. Behind him was an old woman. The Village Chief was holding two jugs of wine, while the old woman was holding one jug of wine. One must know that wine was a good thing in the village. Most people didn't have it. The wine in the Village Chief's house was given to him by his son, who was working outside. Usually, he was reluctant to drink it, but today, he took it out.
