Chapter 19: Self-Reliance
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In June, the mountains are covered with clouds and mist, and at the end of the sea of clouds, a red sun jumps out of the horizon, and the rolling purple gas comes all over the sky.
On the top of the mountain, the ancient trees are verdant, the strange rocks are craggy and verdant, and a large hall passes through the sea of clouds, and is illuminated by the glow of the sun.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, the sea of clouds rushed, the glow dimmed, and the purple qi within a radius of dozens of miles rushed to the main hall.
Ten seconds later, the purple qi in the air gradually thinned, the main hall no longer absorbed, and the sea of clouds turned calm again.
After a while, a large cloud of mist rose at the bottom of the mountain, enveloping the entire mountain.
Countless birds, beasts, and insects appeared in the mountains one after another, and began to concentrate on swallowing these clouds and mist.
The clouds seem to be of great benefit to them, even if the predators are not far away, they are safe with each other.
A stone path winds down from the top of the mountain to a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.
The Taoist temple is quite large-scale, with various large halls and houses overlapping, and many buildings are unfinished.
On the practice platform in the temple, there are already some early boys who start morning exercises, some stand on piles to breathe mist, and some wield weapons to practice martial arts.
The town below the mountain also has fog.
In a square, Wei Qiuyue jumped back and forth with a sword in her hand, her posture ethereal, like an immortal.
Not far from the side, Zhou Shuli was dancing with a big knife, no longer as weak as a year ago.
Many squares have been built in the town, and many townspeople practice martial arts in the squares.
There are still fields outside the town, but there are no ridges between the fields, and they are completely connected into a large area.
What is planted in the field is no longer ordinary rice, but clusters of low-grade spirit valleys that are as tall as people, and under the rhizomes of the spirit valley, crystal spirit stones can be faintly seen.
The Linggu fruit is full and exudes a strange fragrance, and under the infiltration of mist, it seems to be more vibrant.
There are also spiritual vegetables planted in the peripheral fields, and the spiritual vegetables grow green and crystal green, which is extremely attractive to look at.
Some old farmers who had not exercised in the morning sat on the edge of the spiritual field, all of them were in good health, and they were smoking dry tobacco comfortably while looking at the spiritual field.
The entire town and the surrounding mountains were bought by Yu Facai, and the town was renamed Daozhen.
There is no other people's private property in the town, and the remaining townspeople can live in the town without worrying about food and clothing as long as they complete some simple tasks.
At three o'clock in the sun, the clouds finally faded.
In the main hall on the top of the mountain, Yu Facai wore a mini yellow robe, sitting on a futon and meditating with his eyes closed.
His dantian space had risen to more than nine hundred meters, and the internal pressure was extremely great, and the spiritual mist had formed into rain and mist and drifted around.
The outer surface of the boulder is 20 meters, and the internal space expands to 50 kilometers, which is more like a piece of heaven and earth, and it is magnificent.
Most of the space is planted with Spirit Valley, nearly two million acres, and there are hundreds of huge warehouses next to it, which are full of Spirit Valley that has been harvested.
The big tree that was planted before has grown to a height of 20 meters, and it looks quite spectacular, but after the Linggu is established, the big tree is ignored.
A half-meter-thick crystal snake flashed into the space, and after floating around in the air for a while, it lazily lay in the stone pool.
Inside the main hall.
Yu Facai took a breath and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes showed a look of joy, his cultivation was progressing rapidly, and he was about to enter the next stage of the Dan period.
For the past year, every day when the sun was rising, he would manipulate the crystal snake to absorb the purple qi on the top of the mountain, and then spit the purple qi to the bottom of the mountain.
There was originally a thin earth qi underground, but I don't know how it was affected by the purple qi, the earth qi evolved into a majestic spiritual qi, and the rocks at the bottom of the mountain were also changing to spiritual stones.
The aura rises from the ground, nourishing the mountains and towns, and there are many changes in people, animals and plants.
The effect of the crystal snake's absorption of underground spiritual energy cultivation is actually comparable to that of absorbing spirit stones, which is somewhat unexpected for Yu Facai.
Yu Facai walked out of the hall and floated into the mountains.
The main hall on the top of the mountain is called the rice hall, the Taoist temple in the mountain is called the rice temple, and the boy comes from the small town under the mountain.
There are no statues in the rice hall, it is forbidden to burn incense and worship, and only cultivation is allowed.
On the mountainside, the main hall is continuous, and some of them are still under construction, and those who participated in the construction were the residents of the town.
In a large hall, Zhou Xiaomei and the other two were in the hall to deal with the daily affairs of the rice hall, and the three of them were also wearing khaki robes.
Wang Ping, who practiced qi at the third level, looked like a gentleman, spoke unhurriedly, and handled things in an orderly manner, and was appointed as the internal affairs manager of the Daodian Palace to assist Zhou Xiaomei in handling the affairs of the palace.
Hu Wanli, who has five layers of qi training, has a vicissitudes of life, works calmly, is in charge of the outside of the Daodian, and assists Zhou Xiaomei in handling external affairs.
Zhou Xiaomei is one year older, nine years old this year, and she is already at the seventh level of Qi training, and she looks more delicate than last year.
θ‘δΈε© says:
"The new season of Linggu is about to be harvested, and the gangs that send people to order Linggu are Qingyu Faction, Wushanmen, Qilongmen, Hedao Gang, Youlong Gang, Qingshui Gang, they hope to sell them at least 20,000 kilograms, in addition, the surrounding Mu Dynasty, Jiang Dynasty, and Fang Dynasty have also sent people to order, each needs 50,000 kilograms, and all parties need a total of 270,000 kilograms of Linggu."
Wang Ping frowned and said:
"We can harvest 100,000 kilograms in Linggu this season, and the number of townspeople has increased by 30, and now there are 2,645 people, and we need to consume about 5,000 kilograms in half a year, and the monks around us who are good friends with our temple need 2,000 kilograms, so we can only sell 93,000 kilograms of spiritual rice."
Lingmi can strengthen the body and improve physical fitness, and ordinary people only need to eat a few grains to meet the consumption of a day.
There are thousands of acres of spiritual fields outside the town, which can produce 100,000 catties of high-grade spiritual rice in one season, and the residents in the town do not consume much, most of which are used to trade with the surrounding forces.
Inferior Lingmi is nothing to the big faction, but it is very important for these small forces around them, these forces can use Lingmi to gather their subordinates and cultivate the core of the force.
These surrounding forces also cultivated Spirit Valley, but they couldn't manipulate Spirit Mist like Yu Facai, so the Spirit Valley they planted was not only small in scale, but also extremely costly.
Now that the Rice Palace has sprung up and has a large number of spirit valleys, these small forces immediately flock to it.
Hu Wanli continued:
In addition, the Jiang Dynasty manipulated the price of rice and salt in the Mu Dynasty, the Mu King was negligent, and the people of the Mu Dynasty complained, and the He Dao Gang exterminated a small faction last month, and slaughtered three hundred ordinary masters in the upper and lower parts of the faction......
Hu Wanli kept telling the surrounding information, not only about the people's livelihood, but also about the trivial matters of gang vendettas, which were collected by the monks arranged by the Daodian, so they can basically be confirmed to be true.
Zhou Xiaomei frowned and said:
"The demand is halved and the supply is halved, the He Daomen is not sold, the crown prince of the Fang Dynasty is re-established, otherwise it is not sold, the Jiang Dynasty, the Mu Dynasty, and then halved"
In the mountains, Yu Facai strolled on the steps, nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with Zhou Xiaomei's handling of it.
These small gangs and small courts are just eight or nine level forces, and there are at most a few foundation building monks, and they are not taken seriously by Yu Facai at all, so how to sell Linggu is up to Daodian.
Yu Facai did not rely on the sale of spirit valleys to maintain his cultivation, even if he sold all the spirit valleys in the big stone space was not worth much of a high-grade spirit stone, he just felt that he should do something, and he did not want to change the situation of all mortals in the mortal world, at least let a small piece of heaven and earth around the rice hall be more stable, and he would be at ease.
Yu Facai continued to walk in the mountains, infiltrated by aura for a year, and the mountains became beautiful.
The plants in the mountains are lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and all kinds of wild fruits are crystal clear, and the aroma is very attractive.
Wild beasts and birds are peaceful and quiet, and after absorbing the aura, they have a lot of spirituality, and they usually eat wild fruits and dew, and they don't hide when they see people.
A wild leopard saw Yu Facai and turned around and ran, looking flustered as if he had done something bad.
Yu Facai flashed and appeared in front of the wild leopard, although he was not tall, he was terrifying.
The leopard immediately lay motionless on the ground, pitiful, with a look of forgiveness in his eyes.
Yu Facai looked at the leopard, with hair on the corners of his mouth and moss on his abdomen, he must have gone to dig out the bird's nest on some tree.
Yu Facai swept his senses, and immediately found a dilapidated bird's nest in the jungle, and a long-tailed bird stood next to it and cried sadly.
Yu Facai was furious, crossed his waist, pointed at the leopard and scolded:
"Look at you, you are stealing and eating other people's children, this is the second time, don't you know my rules, if you do this again, I will drive you out of the mountains, and I will never let you in in the future"
As soon as the leopard's eyes opened, it seemed to feel that the consequences were serious, and his paws were hugged together, and he actually lay on the ground and kowtowed to Yu Facai to forgive.
Yu Facai pointed to the bird's nest in the distance and said:
"You ate other people's children, and now you are punished for guarding the nest for other people's nests for half a year, if you can't stand it, you will leave the mountain, if you dare to come back secretly, Xiaohu will bite you to death"
At this time, there was a low tiger roar next to him, and more than ten meters away, a three-meter-long markinged tiger shook its head at Yu Facai, and glared at the leopard threateningly, full of spirituality.
The leopard was frightened, and hurriedly ran to the bottom of the big tree in the distance, sat on the ground and began to take duty.
When the long-tailed bird saw the murderer returning, he immediately pulled a lump of bird feces and crackled and poured the leopard on it.
The leopard's head was wet, and he didn't dare to dodge, and looked at Yu Facai aggrievedly.
Yu Facai beckoned, and the aura restrained the long-tailed bird to him.
The long-tailed bird was not afraid of Yu Facai, stared at the little eyes, and chirped at the leopard.
Yu Facai looked at the bird, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Lulu, I don't know how it is doing now, I don't know if it has practiced Neidan, and Lingling, he is the weakest, I don't know if he has been bullied by other spirit beasts, I don't know if the Jade Snake Langjun has recovered into a big snake, this snake has many enemies, I don't know if it will start to cause trouble again.
Yu Facai sent out a hundred strands of aura to wash the bird.
The bird stopped calling and closed its eyes to enjoy.
The tiger and the leopard looked at the bird with envy, and the other beasts in the forest also showed envy.
After a while, Yu Facai released the bird, and the bird flew around Yu Facai several times.
The birds are several times faster, their eyes are more flexible, and they are chirping in gratitude to Yu Facai.
Yu Facai waved his hand and continued to walk around the forest.
