Chapter 989: The Witch House and Civilization
The originally desolate land, after people's reclamation and arrangement, has rules and forms, acres of fields, adjacent houses, full of life, everything looks orderly, not as wild as before.
Xia Tuo consciously comprehended the Tao rhyme between heaven and earth, so in his perception, there was a more existential connection between the earth and him, and he could not describe this connection clearly for the time being.
In general, there is a tendency to push his flesh and soul to sublimate, it seems that heaven and earth are already a little different in his eyes, but suddenly they are the original heaven and earth, inexplicable, mysterious and mysterious.
He didn't use his own strength, so he walked forward, stretching for dozens of miles before and after, all of which were spiritual fields and dams and ditches built by Xinhewei.
Pieces of spiritual fields are neatly spread out in front of you, planted with corn, sweet potatoes, purple rice and other crops, far and near, there are old people and women squatting in the field, picking down the weeds that grow.
He could also hear a group of people gathered in the distance, discussing the experience of irrigation, weeding, bird repellent and insect catching, in a few years, this spiritual field has grown from scratch, and the people who migrated from the Sanyang Realm have become good at farming.
Moo~
The dull roar of the ox sounded, and on the path at the edge of the field, an old cow with green and yellow fluff walked lazily, carrying two baskets of grass on his back, and his little tail was constantly beating.
Everywhere along the way, people kept stuffing the most tender part of the wild grass into the mouth of the old cow, for which the old cow sneezed very arrogantly.
Xia Tuo was not pretentious, he greeted the people working in the fields with a smile, and met two old men who returned with hoes, and they were very familiar with the words, and said: "Two old brothers, this large piece of spiritual field has been opened, and this year's harvest seems to be very good." ”
A total of more than 400,000 acres of spiritual fields have been reclaimed in the Xinhe wasteland, and the barren land is fertile, such as potatoes and potatoes, crops can be harvested into 20 stones in a season, and the rest such as corn can also be harvested for 10 stones and 8 stones.
"This is a beetle, which eats the leaves of purple rice. ”
Xia Tuo caught the fat little white worm on a plant with purple leaves on the side of the road, and chatted with the two old men with great interest.
Seeing that Xia Tuo also had some experience in serving Lingmi, the two old men, who were still a little reserved, also slightly let go of the doubts in their hearts and talked to Xia Tuo.
Xia Tuo claimed to be a wind collector under the command of the clan court, who walked in the territory and recorded what he saw and heard.
Chatting with the two old men, Xia Tuo and the three of them had already walked through the flat fields and came to the settlement built on the land of mountains and rivers.
Dozens of gathering areas have been established on the land within a radius of dozens of miles, and Xinhe Mountain is the center of Xinhe Wei, and the garrison of the garrison is at the foot of Xinhe Mountain.
Xia Tuo saw the north side of Xinhe Mountain in the east-west direction, there is a tributary of Xinhe River along Xinhe Mountain, and the stone house was built on the bank of the mountain, about 30,000 people lived here, and there was a wooden fence outside as a simple defensive wall, and there were stone-paved streets inside the fence, which looked very neat and neat.
In the settlement, people can be seen picking up farm tools and some people feeding some poultry.
In the largest stone hall in the center of the settlement, there was a noisy sound, and the voice was still immature, and the two old men told Xia Tuo with a smile that the stone hall in the center was a school and a place for literacy.
Ordinary writing has no ability to communicate with heaven and earth, let alone the unpredictable power of ghosts and gods, but literacy can inherit civilization and make people understand the truth.
Over the years, Great Xia has long ordered the cities below to teach school-age children to write language.
I don't want these people to grow up to be strong, I just hope that this kind of literacy and hyphenation can be popularized.
Quack Quack~~
On the tributaries of the Xinhe River outside the settlement, a group of fat, duck-like beasts with brown feathers quacked and walked up from the water, twisting their fat bodies towards the settlement.
After going ashore, someone came over, counting these poultry one by one, to see if there was any missing, this is the property of the entire Xinhe Health Center, and laying eggs will make up for the age dolls in the health center.
In the end, Xia Tuo did not enter the Xinhe Guard, but walked along the Xinhe Mountain, heading to the west, although he left the tribe for a few days, and did not walk through a few guards, but what he saw and heard still satisfied him.
Since the beginning of the Great Xia clan, he has taken the promotion of Lingtian as one of the basic clan policies, and over the years, there have been more than 20 kinds of crops that can be planted under the command of Great Xia.
Si Nong Hall has made great contributions over the years, and has developed Lingtian cultivation into a systematic discipline, perhaps the people of the Great Wilderness do not understand what the discipline is, but it is particularly important for crop cultivation.
For many ordinary people, the clan court is too far away from them, even if Xia Tuo has issued a lot of edicts, but the actual implementation is not immutable, he is high up and overlooks, it is easy to cause signs of high eyes and low hands.
Compared with the high-level of the clan, ordinary people are more inclined to how to domesticate poultry, how to prevent and control pests and diseases of Lingmi, and how to weave fishing nets to catch more fish.
At the same time that Xia Tuo left Xinhewei, in the southwest of Xinhe Mountain, four figures, one old, three young and four people came, four of them were in the dust, their animal skin clothes were full of folds, and they were also carrying large and small animal skin backpacks.
The four of them walked along the field path, the old man's hair was pale, but his face was ruddy, he looked at the golden crow that was about to fall to the west, took out the animal skin paper from his bosom and looked at it, and said: "There is the Xinhe Guard in front, we will rest here today, and we will continue to return to Phoenix City early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Elder. ”
The old man spoke, and the three young people around him all responded to the Tao.
When the group of four people walked to the settlement of Xinhewei, they were seen by a middle-aged man who came out of the field, and the middle-aged man looked at the four of them, first stunned for a long time, and then ran towards the settlement.
"The benefactor is back. ”
"Elder Xuegong Mu and the three young adults are back. ”
The middle-aged man ran all the way into the settlement and ran towards the stone hall where the garrison was stationed.
After migrating out of the Sanyang Realm, they were organized into a collective, and they have eaten and drunk for the past few years, although their freedom has been restricted, but on the whole, they are still very satisfied with their current life.
Soon, more than a dozen people rushed out of the garrison, and the leader was Ji Qian, the commander of the garrison.
The name Ji is very glorious, but unfortunately for Ji Qian, there is no glory at all, he is just a small martial artist under the command of the Great Xia Clan, and now the realm is only the first in the Shenzang realm.
Ji Qian took several subordinate officials of the guard to the outside of the settlement and met the three disciples led by Mu Li.
"Master Mu has led his disciples on a four-year journey, and it seems that he has been successful in his study tour, and the three junior brothers and sisters have also gained a lot. ”
In the blink of an eye, the settlement was surrounded by people of all ages, and some babies even stared at Mu Li with big eyes, and exclaimed: "You are the old man who saved me four years ago." ”
"Okay~"
Mu Li greeted everyone around him with a smile, and fell on the commander of the farmer, and said, "In just four years, a piece of wolf forest wasteland has been reclaimed into a granary, which is a good job. ”
Ji Qian welcomed the four Mu Lis into the settlement, and many people came to greet them along the way.
Four years ago, the Xinhe Guard had not yet taken shape, and the people of the Sanyang Realm who migrated here were not accustomed to the water and soil, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants were abused.
As the highest civilized place in Great Xia, the inconspicuous things in the Great Xia Witch Courtyard may be an opportunity for people outside.
After staying in the Xinhe settlement for three months, the group continued to travel west, and now they have returned from a study tour to the west.
Because of the arrival of Mu Li's party, the fire settlement was very lively, and a bonfire festival was held at night, which was also one of their few activities.
In front of the bonfire, Ji Qian grabbed the wine cup and said to the three young people: "Three junior brothers and sisters, there is Master Mu to lead the parade, after returning to the clan this time, the future will be great, and there will be a place in the clan court in the future." ”
When the three young people were said by Ji Qian, their faces turned a little red, and they drank all the wine in the cup, and their eyes were full of light.
Going out to cruise, knowing the territory and people's livelihood, this is not everyone has the opportunity, only those who have performed well in the school palace, and whose talent and heart are recognized, have the opportunity to go out and cruise.
Although it may be a waste of several years when you are on a cruise, once you return, the Academy will allocate resources to make up for the delayed cultivation time.
"Senior brother, junior sister toasts you. Filling the wine cup in his hand, Qing He shook the wine glass, and his cheeks blushed all the way to his neck under the firelight.
Although Ji Qian is said to be a military captain, he has no official position, he was also born in the school palace, but since he was promoted to the Shenzang realm, he has practiced for more than 20 years and made little progress, and then had to leave the school palace and served in the clan court for more than 20 years, and was transferred to the salary and guard four years ago.
Because he walked out of the school palace, he knew more that there were people outside the sky.
Master Mu is a witch in the school palace, majoring in spiritual plants, but for hundreds of years, Great Xia has tried his best to develop the science of witchcraft, and there is no clear boundary between witchcraft.
He is a wizard, and the three disciples he naturally brought with him are also wizards, and they have all cultivated to the wizard realm, and they are all no more than fifty years old, which is a proper young man in the Great Wilderness.
There is no doubt that the future of a wizard is much greater than that of Ji Qian, a martial artist, and after many years of experience outside, Ji Qian also has the heart to make friends.
Mu Li quietly sipped the wine, looked at his disciple with a smile, and said: "Lingjue has already cultivated to the late stage of the wizard realm, and he is very talented for witch doctors. ”
"Congratulations, junior sister. ”
Ji Qian showed a hint of surprise and said, "That is the most mysterious place in our Great Xia, who doesn't know that the top inheritance of our Great Xia is in the Witch Academy." “
Not only Ji Qian, but the other two young people had some envy in their eyes, and Mu Li then said: "After I go back, I will also recommend it to the School Palace, and whether you can pass the assessment at that time depends on your creation." ”
Hearing this, the two young men suddenly showed excited expressions and bowed in thanks.
The school palace is just a place to practice, and the witch house is where the true meaning lies, they are genius disciples in the school palace, but in the legendary witch house, it may only be an ordinary apprentice, but even if it is an apprentice, it still makes people yearn for it, that is the place where civilization is.
