Section 285: Cemetery
"Of course, I went to the Beiguo family to get a chance to work in the cemetery!" Mu Sheng looked at Taixin with a stupid look.
Tan Taixin nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”
Nangong Yuhuan said on the side: "If you want to go to the cemetery, you have to hurry, I will enter Neiguo City in two days, but it is inconvenient to come out to help you." ”
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I know, it shouldn't be a big problem to go to the cemetery to serve as labor, so you can listen to it." ”
Sure enough, as Mu Sheng said, the application for labor service in the cemetery in Beiguo's family was quickly approved, and the villagers of Beiguo Village were reluctant to come because of these three reasons, first, there was a lot of work to weed and repair the grave, and the way to live looked easy, but it was not, and secondly, when dealing with the dead, more or less everyone had a little bit of a diaphragm in their hearts. Third, spring is the farming season, and the crops on my family's farmland still have to be sown and cultivated, so how can I have the effort to serve in the cemetery. Therefore, Mu Sheng and Tantai Shinichi proposed, and the Beiguo family immediately agreed.
At this time, not long after the beginning of spring, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and the seeds in the field are sprinkled, and it will take a while until they are ripe, and the vegetables in the field will sprout, and it is not yet the time to harvest.
Wealthy families, the family still has some food in stock, and the poorer families can only eat bran vegetables to survive, or even more embarrassed, so there is only one way to go.
The so-called picking green, is to dig in the field of camellia, gray cabbage and other things, wild vegetables are not enough to pick, you can also go to pick elm leaves, spring buds and other tender leaves for food, if the situation is not good, encountered a dry year, the poor people only have usury on credit to live, if even usury can not be borrowed, only to eat Guanyin soil.
That Guanyin soil is not eaten casually, it looks fine and white and soft and glutinous, but it can't be digested when it is eaten in the stomach, only the belly is very large, and the can't be pulled out.
As soon as the snow melts and the weeds emerge, the village pickers have begun to pick green all over the mountains, and the first place where the wild vegetables are harvested is the farmland in the village, and then between the hillsides and the trees.
But hunger poured like water into people, and no one could stop it, so it didn't take long for the mortals' own cemeteries to begin to be visited by the green pickers, and the wild vegetables around the graves were dug up and became a mess.
But the tomb of the cultivator is not so easy to enter, you need to get a license to enter, Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin received a waist card at Beiguo's house, and then walked to the cemetery.
The cemetery is surrounded by towering pines and cypresses, dense and lush, and there are vines and thorns and other plants connected between the pines and cypresses, and you can't see the inside of the mausoleum outside, let alone go in.
Mu Sheng looked at it and felt that the pines and cypresses here did not look like they were planted artificially, but more like they were planted by a cultivator. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a light from the sign hanging on my waist, shining on the pine and cypress in front of me, and the pine and cypress were illuminated by the light, and immediately moved, lined up on both sides, and actually made a way for the two of them.
The muddy land in the cemetery is arranged in order according to the level of cultivation, next to the outermost layer is the three flowers and five qi stages, there are no monks who can go further, and the dust returns to the dust, and the tomb is also in the form of a steamed bun tomb like the tomb of mortals in the outside world, but the specifications are higher, and they are all blue brick vaults of water.
Then there is the tomb of the monk in the foundation period, their tomb will be much more magnificent, all of them are the eaves of a water, the palace shape, it looks very atmospheric, the more you go to the direction of the imperial mausoleum, the higher the level of the monk, I heard that there are monks in the Jindan period and above, those tombs have their own shapes are by no means the same.
However, those places Mu Sheng and Tan Tai Xin couldn't go, and when they came, the Beiguo family made the rules very clear, where they could go and where they couldn't. They are not afraid that the two of them will string the area, there is a ban in this cemetery, and it is difficult to move an inch without the corresponding waist card.
Mu Sheng sighed, and said in his heart, "It's the same everywhere, even the dead are like the mortal world, and they have to be ranked by seniority." ’
Mu Sheng and the novice of Shantai are holding the labor tools specially configured by the Beiguo family, and the cemetery of this cultivator is very difficult for ordinary weeds to grow because of the prohibition and formation set up by the mighty, but once the grass grows, this weed must be extremely vigorous and especially difficult to get rid of grass.
Therefore, in order for the laborers to work and get twice the result with half the effort, the Beiguo family specially sent labor tools to the two of them. Although they were just ordinary looking sickles, hoes and other things, and they were not illegal weapons, Mu Sheng took a look at them in his hand and found that these labor tools were extremely sharp, and they were not much better than the weapons of the Shenzhou Continent.
Each of the two carried two pockets, one was specially for weeds, and the other was secretly used by the two to put wild vegetables, although there are still wild vegetables outside, but because the cemetery has not been patronized, the wild vegetables inside are more fertile and abundant, everyone who enters the cemetery is regarded as a potential object that can bring better food to everyone, and was entrusted to find wild vegetables, Ah Lian's family knew that Mu Sheng and they were going to enter the cemetery to serve as labor, so they naturally asked them to help bring wild vegetables.
The two of them stood in the cemetery and took a look, as everyone described before, there are no weeds in the garden, but all the parts that grow grass are abnormally luxuriant, and it is difficult to remove them with sickles, hoes and other tools.
And often after weeding, due to the intertangled roots of the weeds, the green bricks are warped and deformed, and the two are also responsible for repairing them. In this way, the speed is not fast, and it often takes half an hour for the two people to repair the weeding belt.
If you weed and trim at this rate, you don't have to think about how many wild vegetables you can dig up. Everyone has studied how to improve the efficiency of mowing, and some people have even come up with a method of burning the upper part of the weeds and then digging up the roots.
However, the grass in this cultivator's cemetery is very different from other places, ordinary fire, it takes a long time to burn before it can be lit, and after it is lit, it has to wait a long time to extinguish, and even the time to eradicate the roots and clean up the ashes is not much faster than directly cleaning it with a sickle and hoe. You have to bring more things, and you need to bring more water to clean up the black ash after the fire.
Mu Sheng was thinking about this question while mowing the grass, and suddenly an idea moved in his mind: "You are now in the late stage of Sanhua, right?"
Tan Taixin was stunned when asked, but he still hummed and nodded.
"Then is it possible for your Five Elements Spell?" asked Mu Sheng.
"What kind of five-element spell? No one has taught me, I don't know!"
