Chapter 1145: The Gu Snake That Catches Insects
The old man's name is Zuo Xiuping, a tenant of the adjacent Lingtian, a monk in the Jindan period, and a businessman, who grows peaches to make money, and has no other lofty reason. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are only two big cities in the Little Demon Realm, and the spiritual field in the city is the only area that can be cultivated by human beings, which is rented out by the City Lord's Mansion, and there is no intention or intention to sell it, even the major families in the city cannot buy it, so they can only rent it.
Of course, there is a lot of land outside the city, but monsters are rampant, not to mention reclamation and planting, and even survival cannot be guaranteed, and others are even more impossible.
However, Zuo Xiuping planted peach trees, leased for a long time, and was quite famous in the city, paying rent and taxes on time, and no one robbed his spiritual field.
"Oh, your craftsmanship is good, I didn't expect the sword-billed bow beetle to taste so delicious, I never thought of eating it before, and I wasted so many delicious ingredients, the old man regretted it." From tomorrow, I will have the workers catch the bow beetles in the peach orchard. ”
Zuo Xiuping ate the corners of his mouth with oil, obviously he just roasted it on the fire, and the fragrance was so strong, which made him extremely shocked when he tasted the bow beetle for the first time.
"Come on, come on, try the giant spirit fairy peach planted by the old man, it's not me bragging, talking about melons and fruits in Pangu City, no one can ignore the fairy peach I planted. ”
Zuo Xiuping said, picked up a green peach, and stuffed it into Li Qingyun's hand.
As for Lingxiao Zhenren, he was directly ignored by Zuo Xiuping.
In his heart, an old man of more than a hundred years old has only cultivated to the sixth realm of the Qi refining period, and he is no different from a waste person, he is at the bottom everywhere, so there is no need to deal with it.
Li Qingyun took the peach and sniffed his nose, the fruity fragrance was there, but it was not too strong. The red peaches in the garden are all over the garden, and if you have to bring a few green peaches, maybe they will be blown down by the wind, this person is really stingy.
I glanced at it with the secret method, felt that the peach was not in danger, wiped it, and took a bite.
Because of the astringency, the flesh is a little crispy, with a faint fruity aroma, mixed with a strong aura, producing a compound breath, which is fascinating, and after swallowing, there is a hot breath in the abdomen, which quickly spreads all over the limbs and hundreds of remains, and seems to increase a lot of strength.
Giant peach tree, also called giant spirit peach tree, peach tree up to more than ten meters, luxuriant branches, after the fruit is ripe, like a child's head as huge, the fruit body is red, the fragrance is far away, it is a rare treasure in the fruit of the little demon world.
However, during the fruiting period each year, a huge peach tree can only bear 99 fruits, and with the addition of insects and natural disasters, the fruiting rate is even less, so the price is about twice as expensive as that of a butterfly melon.
The peaches that Zuo Xiuping brought were half smaller than the ripe peaches on the tree, and they were obviously picked up peaches that had been blown off by the wind.
Li Qingyun didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and praised: "The fragrance is special, it's worth tasting." ”
Other than that, there was not too much praise, which made Zuo Xiuping a little unhappy.
In fact, if Zuo Xiuping knew that Li Qingyun ate the mutated peaches in the small space all the year round, the taste would be unique in the world, at least two grades higher than this half-baked giant spirit immortal peach.
Lingxiao Zhenren also took a peach to taste, but he was full of praise, obviously it was the first time he had eaten such a delicious spirit fruit.
"It's still Lingxiao Dao people who have vision, the same giant spirit immortal peach, the quality of the one planted by someone on my left far exceeds that of other fruit farmers. Oh, by the way, what are you going to plant? Like that little doll of the Ye family, grow butterfly melons?"
Zuo Xiuping saw the melon seedlings in the field, but most of the melon seedlings looked similar in the early stage, and it was difficult for non-professional melon farmers to distinguish them.
"Mix butterfly melons and sun melons to see if they can give birth to mutated varieties. Li Qingyun replied lightly.
"Haha, if the mutant variety was so easy to obtain, the city lord would not have opened a huge bonus.
Just the Lingtian that I saw was a mixture of butterfly melon and sun melon, I don't know how much, and occasionally mutated varieties appeared, and they were not of the slightest value.
The little doll of the Ye family has also failed several times, and finally became honest, a single butterfly melon, young man, so ambitious, but he will suffer a big loss. ”
Zuo Xiuping laughed, showing a slight disdain, through a simple exchange, he had already deduced that the two people in front of him did not have much farming experience, nor did they have any background.
So in the stunned eyes of Li Qingyun and Lingxiao Zhenren, he picked up the tray, took the remaining peaches, and flew over the peach orchard again, and said, "Well, it's late at night, the old man still has to cultivate, so let's continue." ”
"This ...... This is ......" Lingxiao Zhenren was stunned, no matter how much he didn't understand the accident, he could see that people were full of contempt and contempt.
Li Qingyun had already spit out the peach in his mouth, and half of the peach was thrown into the fire, and said calmly: "It's okay, there are all kinds of things in the world, and everyone has them." To put it in layman's terms, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. ”
"Alas!" when has Lingxiao Zhenren been so despised, his heart is unbalanced, and he is quite irritable. But when I thought of the assessment of the Heavenly Dao three years later, I had to strengthen my spirit and work hard to cultivate.
Li Qingyun didn't say much, and after putting away the food and utensils, he also sat cross-legged by the fire, closing his eyes and cultivating.
He can now cultivate separately from his physical body and spirit body, but now that he is in the field, even if there are patrolling guards flying by in the sky from time to time, he has to be careful.
Throw out the Twelve Heavenly Flags and protect them all around, so that you can cultivate with peace of mind.
The fields are planted with melon seedlings, which are extremely fresh and tender, which is exactly what insects love to eat. Although I cleaned up during the day, caught more than ten buckets of insects, and killed countless inedible insects on the spot, there were still countless insects that came out of nowhere to eat melon seedlings in the middle of the night.
Li Qingyun's six senses were extremely keen, and Tanaka's subtle movements could be heard clearly, and at this time, his brows furrowed, and the spirit body had to stop cultivating in a small space.
Just about to go out to let the spirit body catch insects, I suddenly saw the Gu snake in the small space shuttling through the forest, catching a very small number of insects in the small space, and it seemed that he enjoyed it very much.
"That's right, why did you forget it, this thing is a Gu snake, it loves to eat insects the most, and even Gu worms can eat it, why are you afraid of these ordinary spirit insects?"
Thinking of this, Li Qingyun grabbed the Gu snake with a wave of his hand.
Gu Snake Xiaohong was startled, and was about to spew out poisonous mist in an instant, but when he saw that it was Li Qingyun, he immediately stopped attacking, and with a dripping sound, wrapped around his wrist, and used his flat triangular head to pout affectionately.
The current Gu snake has been completely tamed, and its spiritual intelligence has also increased significantly, and through spiritual communication, it can transmit a lot of true thoughts.
Its current IQ is already at the level of a two- or three-year-old child, and at this time it is asking Li Qingyun what is delicious and what is fun.
"Take you out to catch insects, okay?" Although Li Qingyun asked, he had already appeared hundreds of meters away with the Gu snake.
Throw the snake into the ground and let it catch the insects underground.
"Huh?" The spirit body found that a powerful divine sense swept from the direction of Taoyuan, and he didn't want to be discovered, so he instantly hid back in the small space.
"Huh, it seems that a spirit appeared nearby, why did it disappear in an instant? Is it my delusion?" In the thatched hut in the center of Taoyuan, Zuo Xiuping's puzzled voice came out.
Li Qingyun, a spirit body, can hide and disguise at will in front of a monk of the same level, but in front of a Jindan master, he will be detected if he is far away.
Zuo Xiuping's divine thoughts swept over the nearby area, and there were people on night duty in each spiritual field, Li Qingyun and Lingxiao Daoist were hiding in the formation flag, and they could also be swept into a blur by him.
However, the interference effect of the array flag is very strong, like a Gu snake that burrows into the ground to catch insects, he can't find it, even if it happens to sweep it, it is only an ordinary insect.
At dawn, Li Qingyun took back the Gu snake that had eaten and his belly was swollen, and after Lingxiao Zhenren finished his cultivation, he didn't notice it.
"Hey, they all say that there is a problem with our spiritual field, saying that there are many insects, and they will eat up the melon seedlings, this night has passed, except for the melon seedlings that have grown up a little, and they haven't found the disaster at all?"
Lingxiao Zhenren was too involved in cultivation, and he didn't find out that Li Qingyun was secretly operating.
"Hehe, maybe we caught all the bugs, the neighbors on the left and right are scaring us, as long as we take care of it, we can also grow delicious spirit melon spirit fruits. Li Qingyun said.
"Great, what should we do now? Spread the clouds and rain and water the melon seedlings?" Lingxiao said excitedly.
"When I planted melon seedlings yesterday, I had already watered them, and in the last two or three days, it belongs to the rooting period, so I don't need to water again. Now you find some materials and build two thatched huts on the ground, where we need to guard them in shifts. ”
"Okay, I'll do this, there's a small forest nearby, I've inquired, you can cut it. "When Lingxiao Zhenren was in Wudang, he had the experience of settling a house, and the matter of building a thatched house was difficult for him.
Three days later, Li Qingyun's spiritual field no longer had any area with other people's spiritual fields, there were spiritual plants in the fields, and there were grass sheds on the ground.
Moreover, the melon seedlings he planted have grown vigorously, the greenery is gratifying, and the growth is extremely violent, in just three days, seven or eight large leaves have grown.
Ye Cheng happened to bring someone over to inspect the situation in her field, and when she saw the growth of melon seedlings in Li Qingyun's field, she was so shocked that her cherry mouth couldn't close.
It took a long time before he said: "This is really that piece of waste land infested with insects? In the past, someone used the residue of the soul-attracting incense wood as fertilizer, which attracted all the insects nearby, and it has been abandoned for so long, how can the survival rate of melon seedlings be so high?"
A few days ago, the entourage who seriously despised Li Qingyun was speechless, and said embarrassedly: "This person should have some secret method for catching insects, otherwise it will never be possible to plant this piece of melon seedlings in a place where pests are rampant." ”
Ye Cheng had already flown over at this time, and fell to the ground more than ten meters away from Li Qingyun, no longer high up, this attitude was much better than the day before yesterday.
"Li Daoyou, I apologize to you for my previous words. But, how did you do that?" Ye Cheng's face was a little shy, but her strong curiosity and desire for knowledge drove her to come over and ask.
"It's very simple, keep catching insects, catch all the insects, and there will be nothing to harm the melon seedlings. "Li Qingyun didn't care about them, as an outsider, he needed to keep a low profile before entering Pangu Academy.
"Ah, you not only seed butterfly melons, but also mixed with sun melons? These two kinds of melon seedlings have a strong fragrance, they are the favorite of insects, every time I plant them, even if dozens of masters are busy catching insects in the field, one-third of the melon seedlings are destroyed, and there is no trace of destruction of the melon seedlings here? This is simply a miracle. (To be continued.) )
