Chapter 0023: Girl, Do You Want to Be a Sword Bearer?
When Xiao Ran returned to Zhijian Peak, it was afternoon.
Shizun went to the imperial capital to buy wine and hasn't come back yet, maybe by the way, go to Goolan to listen to a song, go to the gambling house to roll a dice, or go to the palace to soak a girl.
The autumn light is thick at the top of the sword peak, but it is not hot.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the mountains of Zongzhi, it is like a timeless and elegant ink painting, and the scenery is excellent.
Looking at the sword peak under his feet, it is bare like a childish graffiti, which is really ugly.
Xiao Ran thought to himself, Shizun is ugly and refuses this all day long, ugly and that, but the place where he meditates and sleeps is the ugliest, is it because he drank too much fake wine and hurt his eyes?
He made up his mind to completely transform Zhijian Peak and make it even more beautiful than Baicao Peak, and become the most livable and famous mountain among the mountains of Zongzhi.
A bumper harvest today.
Xiao Ran made wine first.
Take out the two stone jars.
A stone jar used to hold mashed black yeast mushrooms and extract natural yeast.
Another stone jar is used to hold maltomold, hops, and mashed starch.
Half an hour later.
In the first vat, the yeast refining is completed.
In the second jar, wrap it in gauze and squeeze out the wort from it.
The two tanks are mixed, filtered with diatomaceous earth, semi-sealed with bamboo chips, and then buried in the warm underground through the spiritual veins to begin fermentation.
At the beginning of fermentation, you can hear the rustling sound and smell the aroma of the sake when the wort is particularly vigorous.
If you are lucky, you will be able to drink malt sake before midnight.
After the brewing is done, just wait for the malt to ferment.
Next, Xiao Ran is ready to open up several wastelands.
The peak of the sword is about the size of two football fields together.
The middle disciple's room and the broken sword are slightly higher, and the rest of the place is considered flat.
After a field trip to the peak, Xiao Ran made a perfect plan.
South.
To the south is the direction of the door of the disciple's room.
The southern side is the flattest and has the largest space, accounting for about one-third of the peak.
Flower sea medicine field, wheat valley, all arranged.
As soon as the gate opened, it was empty and abundant, and the stretching valley was connected with the sea of clouds.
Therefore, the positioning of the south side is: planting area!
East.
On the side of the east cliff, there are rocks and lone pines, which is the place where the master drinks most often.
There is also a node of underground cool water in the east, which can dig a deep pool, divert water through the thoroughfare, form a stream, flow into the strange rocks from it, and form a small waterfall.
The landscape of strange rocks and lone pines suddenly has a meaning.
In addition, the waterhole can be used for fish farming, as well as fishing.
You can build pavilions and chess tables around, which is comfortable enough.
The vegetation is covered with pine, maple and cherry blossoms, which is quiet enough.
Therefore, the positioning of the east side is: relaxation area!
West.
The west cliff is a place where domestic water is discharged, which can be used for waste use, building vegetable gardens and fruit forests in the west, or raising some spirit animals or something.
Therefore, the positioning of the west is: fruit and vegetable area!
North.
The terrain on the north side is slightly higher, and the large bamboo is planted to create a sense of backwood.
In the bamboo forest, you can plant some shade-loving flowers and plants, attract some small animals such as rabbits and squirrels, and you can occasionally open a meat.
The north cliff is steep, facing the Baicao Peak where the silver moon real person lives.
It happens to be a place where warm water meets, and you can dig a hot spring pool.
After a hard day's work, come here to soak in a hot spring at night, relax and relax......
Therefore, the positioning of the north side is: wellness area!
Planning is complete.
Xiao Ran inspects the storage space.
Tools, seeds, trees, seedlings, fertilizer, all are available.
It's a pity that he is still a mortal, and the amount of work is too large to be done in a day, and it will take at least a week to complete.
It's late afternoon.
The sunset stained the western half of the day.
Come to the west.
Because he had to eat and drink every day, Xiao Ran picked the most important vegetables and started with it.
Daily vegetable planting and yeast mushroom cultivation must be arranged as soon as possible.
Take out the hoe.
Clothed in the setting sun, Xiao Ran began to reclaim the wasteland one by one.
After a while, I suddenly heard a soft and cold female voice coming from behind.
"Xiao Yufeng Jiang Chuyan, ask to see Elder Lingzhou. ”
Jiang Chuyan?
Xiao Ran was slightly stunned.
Is it the girl who was rejected by her master because her talent was too high?
Boy!
The disciple's challenge will only start tomorrow, will you come to the door today to find fault?
If Chen Bowxing met by chance, this Jiang Chuyan took the initiative to attack, so what kind of surprise would Ye Fan bring him?
Xiao Ran only felt that his head was big, and he continued to plow the land, and he didn't reply:
"Shizun has something to do and is far away, please go back. ”
I don't want to, the soft female voice behind me suddenly cheered up.
"That's right—that's what I'm looking for!"
Can't hide.
Xiao Ran turned around, holding a hoe, in the sunset, he couldn't see his face clearly, and only vaguely saw a petite figure.
The height is about one meter and five, and a pair of thin legs are poked in the air, but they are straight and slender.
Is it a child?
Xiao Ran suddenly had the mentality of an elder.
"Looking for me, call Uncle Shi first. ”
The girl's voice was soft and waxy, with a hint of hoarseness, and her tone was cold.
"You killed my Xiaohong, and you still want me to call you uncle?"
Xiao Ran was stunned.
"Little Red means the Red Spotted Tiger?"
The soft and cold voice trembled slightly.
"Sure enough, you killed it!"
Boy!
It's too much of a coincidence today, right?
If it weren't for the hidden anger in the girl's tone, and the not-so-smart figure and voice, Xiao Ran would have doubted whether the other party was using the tiger as bait and deliberately lured him to the bait.
"It wants my life, don't kill it and keep it as an ancestral offering?"
Xiao Ran said bluntly.
"You-"
At this point, the girl was not ready to reason.
"You have your reason, I have my position, you killed my Xiaohong, I naturally can't let you go. ”
Xiao Ran was not cowardly.
"Do you want to do something to your own disciples?"
The spiritual pressure of the Jindan Realm slowly shrouded the Sword Peak, and the girl said coldly:
"Remembering that you are an elder for the time being, you are allowed to make the first move - pull out your filthy and nasty sword, this is the last time you will have it!"
Ha?
When good words come out of your mouth, why doesn't it taste right?
Xiao Ran's original plan was to limit their cultivation to swordsmanship in the disciple challenge, and to have a fair duel to see the level of talent.
As a result, Jiang Chuyan took the initiative to come to the door on the grounds that the red-spotted tiger was killed, and the master was not there, so she could have cut it first and then play.
Even if he didn't dare to hurt him, he would easily defeat him with Jin Dan Xiu, humiliate him in a fancy way, and then spread it out, so that he would no longer have a shameless foothold in Zongzhi Mountain.
I'm going to be killed!
Xiao Ran remained silent, holding a hoe like a sword.
"Girl, do you want to be a sword-wielder?"
Jiang Chuyan doesn't eat this set.
If you can't beat it, you can fool me, when I'm a fool?
"Don't talk nonsense, the sword-wielding elder has always been ruthless, as long as you cut off your sword, the elder will ruthlessly abandon you, looking at the whole sect, is there a more suitable candidate for a disciple than me at the moment? Elder she has no choice!"
Pull out ruthlessly?
The weird vocabulary has increased again!
Xiao Ran remained silent and said calmly:
"Do you know why Shizun rejected you?"
"Because of prejudice, because I'm a woman. ”
When he said this, Jiang Chuyan was so angry that he trembled, his whole body was cold in the autumn, his hands and feet were cold, and his tears almost flowed down his face.
Xiao Ran shook his head.
"No, because you can't guess the master's mind. ”
The girl rubbed the corners of her eyes so that she would not really shed tears.
"What's new?"
Seeing that the other party was interested, Xiao Ran was not in a hurry.
"I'll give you an example, your red-spotted tiger meat is delicious, it can soak the dantian, moisturize the skin, and it is very good for a woman's body, not to mention that the master likes to drink, have you ever heard of the tiger whip soaking in wine? If I had a red-spotted tiger, I would have slaughtered it a long time ago to honor the master, how could I raise it so big. ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, and almost believed Xiao Ran's ghost!
"This is a tigress, what kind of wine to make!"
Xiao Ran was embarrassed for a while, regretting that he didn't check the tiger's body.
"It's not important, it's filial piety. ”
didn't give the girl a moment to think, Xiao Ran ventriloquisted.
"What Shizun values is not talent, nor beauty, but filial piety, you see how I do it - on the first day of going up the mountain, I changed the house for Shizun; I pressed Shizun to the breath of aura with skillful shoulder kneading techniques; this is the next day, I see that Shizun's wine is gone, I have begun to brew ale, if there is no accident, I will be able to produce juice tonight; next, I will also plant trees, farm, dig hot springs, and transform the bare Zhijian Peak into the most beautiful place in the Zongzhi mountains...... What Shizun wants is not a child who is gifted but does not understand life, but a filial disciple who can help her solve her daily life.
Although Xiao Ran's words are heart-wrenching, they are true and not lies.
The girl couldn't help but look at the whole peak.
She doesn't know how to do it, but this house is indeed built at a very high level, and the location of the eight foundations faintly implies that it is more reasonable than the best houses in the imperial capital.
Underground sake brewing is also fermenting at a strange rate.
The method of hoeing, she has only seen in the valley of Uncle Chen's uncle......
She suddenly remembered the words of Lin Yunzi, the coach of the outer gate.
This son should only be heard a few times in heaven and on earth!
Really?
This is clearly just a mortal, how can there be such a realm?
Or is it someone else's work?
She can't be 100% sure, these are all done by Xiao Ran, but she has a test that can make the other party show her stuff on the spot.
"You just said that you pinched the elder's shoulder until she couldn't hold herself back, so much so that she exploded her aura?"
Finally fooled!
This girl is not as childish as her body looks so naïve, nor is she as innocent as her soft voice sounds.
Xiao Ran squinted slightly, looked up at the petite body soaked in the sunset, and said quietly:
"Do you want to try it too?"
