Volume Three: The One Who Should Think Thinks Chapter 124: Progress

These things should not be too difficult for the national workers, otherwise they would not be able to agree, but for the people in the city, it is difficult for them to do it in ordinary times.

However, those who can obtain the tokens given by the king and become the co-workers of the country are all in a transcendent position, either in a high position or in seclusion, and the offerings they usually receive are also very rich, and no one will run away to eat and drink and let the servants of the family serve them. Therefore, although many national workers occasionally travel around the country, they do not need to ask for help if they are not necessary.

As the lord of Shanshui City, Qingshan is also a monk of the Five Realms and Nine Transformations, and he is willing to work together for Shanshui City. Xiling reported to the monarch, gave Qingshan a higher honor - the country's co-worker, and sent someone to send the token to Shanshui City. This is also a means of entrapment, Qingshan nominally became the Communist Party of China serving the Xiangmuro country, but he usually doesn't need him to go to the national capital to do anything, or to be the city lord in Shanshui City, isn't it just a sign.

Qingshan's token is of no use at all, even if he goes to Bayuan to do something, it is enough to be the city lord of Shanshui City, no one will inspect his token of the national worker, it doesn't make a difference whether he carries it or not, this identity is not important to people like him. But when he handed it over to Baoyu, the meaning was completely different.

There is no rule in the country that people with the status of national workers are not allowed to give tokens to others, but in practice, no one does so. No master would want others to take their tokens to swagger outside, and if they don't have real skills, it's useless to hold this kind of tokens, and what others value is not this brand but the means of the national workers; It is even less necessary.

Baoyu just belongs to the person who has both the ability and the need, as long as he shows the token of the national worker, there is no checkpoint in the country that will interrogate him and embarrass him, people will only greet him and take the initiative to ask him if he needs any help? This kind of token is made by a special refining method. When revealing the identity, it also had to be displayed with a special imperial weapon, which was almost impossible to fake, and it did not have the name of the owner on it, only the totem of the Xiangmuro country, because there was no writing at that time.

The title of national worker is usually only given to masters above the five realms, but there are exceptions to everything. Distinguished figures from particularly important tribal families, those who come from particularly important sect inheritances, and those who possess skills that no one else can attain can also be obtained before they reach the Five Realms. Therefore, although Baoyu only has the cultivation of the four realms, it is not impossible to take out this kind of token.

The only problem is that Baoyu is too young. However, there are many high-ranking people in the world, and they often cannot judge their age from superficial descriptions, and they are unfathomable! No one will have enough to go after and offend such people.

A sentence from the mountain god. It solved the problem that the Qingshan patriarch and Shuigu were most worried about, and Baoyu's identity completed the transformation from "hooligan" to "national worker". But the mountain god had his own worries, and he solemnly told Qingshan two things-

A month later, the mountain god will activate the altar, operate the mana in it, and use an artifact to put all the things that the Patriarch Qingshan and Shui Gu prepared for Baoyu into it, so that he can take it with him. for at least 10 years thereafter. The mountain god is equivalent to complete silence, no matter what happens, it has to rely on the Qingshan patriarch and the water aunt themselves to judge and deal with it.

What's more, this last activation of the altar also wants Baoyu to get the inheritance of a certain artifact, this moving mountain god is uncontrollable, and will inevitably be detected by the murderers who slaughtered the Qingshui clan. But fortunately, because of the existence of the magic circle that shrouded the ruins of Taihao, the other party could only detect that the mountain god had done something in contact with the outside world, but he didn't know exactly where it happened in the wilderness.

Therefore, the Qingshan Patriarch and the Shui Gu should immediately leave here with Baoyu. Hide your whereabouts from anyone to find out. Soon, there will inevitably be masters who will come to this wilderness to search around, and with Qingshan's current cultivation, they may be able to detect it. But no matter what Aoyama perceives, don't reveal anything unusual, and don't secretly investigate the identity of the other party. It's like you don't know anything, nothing happens.

Even if someone searched around in the wilderness, it would be difficult to find the ruins of Taihao, but if they found this place, Qingshan should not make any moves, then he should never come to this place again.

Of course, there is very little chance that the Taihao ruins will be discovered by those murderers, otherwise they would have found it a long time ago. In the future, Qingshan and Shuigu should also be careful, and do not come here again unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if you must come, you must not reveal your tracks.

Another thing that the mountain god told was related to Qingshan's own cultivation. Qingshan has broken through the Six Realms, and the next step should be to cultivate the Jinghua Jue, which used to be something Zhu Ming has been looking forward to. But he made a decision that he might not have dreamed of in his early years - asking Qingshan not to practice the Elite Jue for the time being.

Because of the great success of the Essence Essence, during the retreat, it will trigger the vision of heaven and earth in the surrounding area, and all things will be abnormally vibrant. For example, in some places, the grass and trees will inexplicably scorch, and in some places, weeds and wild trees may grow inexplicably. This is easy to detect, and even Aoyama himself will be in danger.

The Essence of Essence is a great help in cultivation, and theoretically it can even keep people alive and well, and contains the secret of transcending immortality. If you can take the path to heaven and become an immortal, it is also a guide to the sacred land of Emperor Taihao. But the mountain god told Qingshan that even if he didn't cultivate the Elite Technique, he could break through to a higher cultivation realm.

The Essence is an excellent aid in cultivation, but it is not necessary for cultivation. Zhu Ming, as the descendant of the secret method of Emperor Taihao, would of course teach the Jinghua Jue when guiding the heirs, and he had never thought about it more than ten years ago, so he would ask anyone not to cultivate the Jinghua Jue for the time being after breaking through the Six Realms.

Zhu Ming sighed, but also couldn't help but think of his conversation with Bai Sha back then. Whether it is the Jinghua recipe left by Tai Hao or the form swallowing recipe left by Shao Hao, they are all a means to help cultivation, and they are also a guide to go to the Imperial Divine Land. But they are not necessarily necessary for cultivation, and the real transcendent subtlety lies in whether or not they are in tune with the innate and existing avenue.

Of course, the mountain god only made this suggestion, and he couldn't stop Aoyama from making any choice. If Qingshan must cultivate the Jinghua Jue to the fullest, then it is best to retreat in the Taihao Ruins, and with the help of Lang Ji Guo, he may be able to disguise the vision of heaven and earth, and the mountain god has also taught him the method. From the perspective of cultivation, the best time is when the Six Realms and Nine Transformations are about to break through the Seven Realms.

But the mountain god was not sure, would he be able to do so without being noticed by the outside world, and even if something unexpected happened, he would no longer be able to warn Aoyama. And the mountain god has another worry, after the cultivation of the Jinghua Jue is completed, the feeling that will be invisibly different will be different, and it will inevitably be noticed by the master with a heart.

When Qingshan Shuigu heard this, she was also quite shocked, it seems that the murderer who slaughtered the Qingshui clan back then was beyond imagination, so much so that the mountain god thought that Qingshan was not his opponent at all, even if he broke through the Six Realms and became the city lord of Shanshui City!

Aoyama replied, "Mountain God, you don't have to worry, I act in my own way. ”

Shui Gu asked: "Mountain God, can we teach this child anything more in this last month?" She always thought that the mountain god had never taught Baoyu any cultivation secret methods, and she had a very unreliable and uneasy feeling, and always wanted Baoyu to learn more magical methods, so that she could feel more down-to-earth in her heart.

The mountain god muttered: "Baoyu grew up in Lu Village, and he is also a member of your Lu clan, if you want to teach him any secret method inheritance, then teach the ancestors to pass on the strength of opening the mountain." ”

Shui Gu was surprised and said: "The strength of opening the mountain? Baoyu has already cultivated in the four realms, does he still need to cultivate the strength of opening the mountain?"

The mountain god smiled: "Just because he has cultivated in the four realms, there is no harm in cultivating the strength of the mountain, and he also knows how to master and use this power without harming his body." Sometimes people appear in whatever capacity, and it is best to use what means to act, which can also give him one more choice. ”

......

In the following month, Baoyu lived with the people in Lu Village, enjoying a rare time in his childhood and in his hometown where he grew up. He did not retreat and cultivate, and he did not even open the valley again, and ate with his people at noon every day.

In the early morning, he found a secluded place in the back mountain to practice his mountain opening strength, and in the afternoon, he walked out of the village entrance and used a giant axe to open the mountain and dig the road. He is cultivating the strength of the mountain, and he is also using his skills while cultivating. Lu Wuding, the ancestor of the Lu Village people, was a warrior who opened the way for the founder of Ba Yuan, and Baoyu is now opening the way from Lu Village.

In a month, he carved the original rugged and dangerous mountain road into a zhang wide, and chose a gentle place to pass along the terrain as much as possible, and opened up 300 steps forward. The distance of one step is called a step, and the distance of one step forward with each of the left and right feet is called a step. A step for an adult man is about six feet, and three hundred steps are called one mile.

The axe in Baoyu's hand is a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation in Lu Village, and it is also a high-grade treasure, called the Kaishan Axe, which was left by Lu Wuding. He didn't use other magical powers, but he used the power of opening the mountain to open a one-mile road within a month, and before he left, he had mastered the ultimate realm of martial arts.

Baoyu also has another purpose in opening up the mountain, he and Pan Gu have been collecting all kinds of things, quarrying out stones and cutting them neatly, cutting down trees and processing them into plates and materials, and refining and weaving soft grass into immortal grass curtains with mana. These things are brought back every day and stacked at the back of his hut.

The clansmen didn't know that Baoyu was leaving, but they only knew that the patriarch of Qingshan had asked him to cultivate his ancestral pioneering spirit, and when he saw that Baoyu had brought back so many things, it was clear that he was going to build a house!

Baoyu just laughed, but didn't explain, he did say a long time ago that he would expand his cabin. When everything was ready, late one night, Baoyu finally got started.

Patriarch Qingshan and Shui Gu were not in Lu Village that day, of course, Patriarch Qingshan had a lot of things to do as the city lord, and Shui Gu's temperament had changed since she came back from the Taihao Ruins last time, and she actually went to the Central Valley with Patriarch Qingshan. Shuigu found Xin Shu, a master engineer, and said that she wanted to select a site and measure the planning and design the future landscape city.

Although the Qingshan Patriarch did not plan to build the castle outline in recent years, Shui Gu believed that Shanshui City would be built sooner or later, and everything should be prepared in advance. How wide and high the walls were, how big the walls were, where the gates were, what shape they would take when they were built, how they would be located, how they would be diverted, and how they would divide the areas in the city, all of these had to be planned in order to estimate how much manpower and material resources would be needed and how long it would take to build them.

For what Shui Gu did, Patriarch Qingshan just smiled and smiled happily, this is the Shanshui City he wants. But Shui Gu didn't know that when she was thinking about how to build Shanshui City in the Central Valley, Baoyu was also thinking about what kind of new house to build for her and the Qingshan Patriarch in Lu Village.

In the middle of the night, when the village was silent, Baoyu sat down in a hut, which was connected to the house of the Qingshan patriarch. All of a sudden, silent and changeable changes took place around the surroundings. Trenches were created by the surging of earth on the surface, and stones from behind the houses flew up and fell into these ditches, building the foundations and walls in turn.

Each stone was cut and ground to fit together in perfect order, and was cemented with clay that had been refined with simple mana. Leave no gaps. After the wall is built, the roof is laid, and the wooden planks with grooves at both ends are laid, and the joints are sealed with wooden square tenons with mother grooves, and then the woven straw curtain is laid, and some stones are pressed on the straw curtain, and a building is built.

This building is different from the other stone houses in the village. It is surrounded by a courtyard wall more than one person high, and the house is in the middle, which is naturally divided into a front yard and a back yard. However, the courtyard wall is not attached to the house, and the two sides of the front and back yards are connected, and only the door is opened in the middle of the front yard.

The stone house of the Qingshan patriarch and the hut of Baoyu on the right are still there, but the left and back sides of the stone house. Two new houses were built, and doors were opened from the houses. What's even more interesting is that the two newly built rooms have windows that allow for both light and ventilation. Because of the courtyard wall, people outside can't see the windows, and certainly can't see what's going on inside the house.

The stone houses in Lu Village all have doors and no windows, and the doors also have no door panels. When the weather is cold and windy, you can hang a thick grass curtain or erect a wooden board to block the door, usually the house looks dark, but everyone does not need a lamp to sleep at night, and the day is dark and goes into the house to lie down.

Baoyu built such a house with windows, and the interior walls were also opened, and several rooms were connected together, which was a new creation. But this was not invented by Baoyu himself, the mountain god had introduced him to various things on the Ba Yuan, and in the demonstration of the divine thought scene that was printed into the original god. There have also been various types of houses.

Therefore, Baoyu had an idea, so he built such a house for the mountain god and the water girl, and entered from one room to multiple rooms, and deliberately opened the windows, surrounded by courtyard walls outside. At the same time, the original house of the Aoyama patriarch and his own hut have been preserved, but the building itself is still completely in the style of Lu Village.

This circle of courtyard walls surrounds several connected stone houses, dividing a ** family area, like a village that has shrunk many times. This is a gift he gave to the Qingshan patriarch and Shuigu, and it is also a reward before leaving. Baoyu may not know that the house he built in Lu Village actually means that the primitive tribes living together have transitioned to a village composed of family units.

When people build this kind of house, it means that their living environment and way of life have gradually changed, and the concept of family will gradually form within the tribe. This is the imperceptible change of the barbarian era, Baoyu may feel it, maybe he is not clearly aware of it, but he himself is in it.

Of course, Baoyu didn't think about it so much at the moment, he just wanted to do something for the Qingshan Patriarch and Shui Gu as much as he could before leaving. The courtyard was built overnight, and it looks like a miracle bestowed by the mountain god.

If it is just a method of stacking stones and splicing wooden boards, and simply refining clay and gluing stones with mana, it is just a means of cultivating in the Three Realms. But if you want to create such a "miracle", it is impossible to do it overnight with only the cultivation of the three realms.

Every piece of stone, every piece of wood, was taken and processed by Baoyu himself, and while the material was mined, Baoyu "had" these things in his primordial spirit. The most familiar scene in his Genshin Realm is the strange little world in the ruins of Taihao, and now he has made another attempt, constructing a house in the interior of Genshin, which did not exist in the world.

When the preparations were complete, Baoyu used the power of imperial objects in the Yuanshen Realm to manipulate these materials, turning the interior of the Yuanshen into the exterior, and this house appeared in the world. Baoyu worked for a month, and then built it overnight. This month, he is not only cultivating and using the opening power, but also cultivating and confirming the subtlety of the integration of the inner and outer scenes of the Yuan Shen in the Four Realms.

A pile of stones and wood was placed there, and some people saw only stones and wood, but Baoyu saw this house when he was digging the way through the mountain, because he already had this building in his heart. This is not only the realm of cultivation, but also the realm of life in the face of things in the world. The construction of such a house is also something that ordinary people can do, the difference is only how it is done.

The house was built without making any sound, and Baoyu's subtlety in casting spells reached the extreme, but his efforts and consumption far exceeded the number of birdmen he had laid down with stone eggs.

Creation is far more difficult than destruction, and some people have cultivated supernatural powers, and can knock down a house with one punch, and they think they have a higher state of life. But with the same supernatural means, can he build the destroyed house in a single thought? This is not only a question worth pondering, but the latter is obviously much more sophisticated.

The work of January was completed overnight, and Baoyu built this house and exhausted his spirit, and he regulated his mind and entered a deep state of silence. This is another breakthrough in the Four Realms, speaking of which, he should have already cultivated in the Four Realms and Three Realms, but Baoyu himself didn't think about this problem, he just wanted to build a courtyard for the Qingshan Patriarch and Shui Gu, give them a gift, and give them a surprise.

The first to be shocked was of course the people of Lucun Village, after dawn, they suddenly found that the stone house of the Qingshan patriarch had become like this, and the materials that Baoyu had piled up these days were gone, apparently the child had built them overnight! People were curious and wanted to go into the courtyard to watch, but Pan Gu squatted at the gate of the courtyard to prevent idle people from entering and disturbing.

Because Baoyu was sitting in meditation to regain his divine energy, he was in retreat at the moment.

Those who had good deeds immediately ran down the mountain to tell the Qingshan patriarch the latest news - Baoyu built him an unprecedented house in the village, which can be regarded as good news, but as soon as he walked out of the village, he saw the Qingshan patriarch and Shuigu coming back, followed by Zhong Zhuang. People gathered around and told the news of the day.

When the Qingshan patriarch came to his stone house, he was also taken aback. Shui Gu whispered: "This kid is so capable!"

The patriarch of Qingshan sighed with emotion: "The means are secondary, the key is this heart!"

Patriarch Qingshan and Shui Gu returned to Lu Village this time to take Baoyu to the Taihao Ruins, but Baoyu was still sitting in retreat in the hut, so they did not bother, and stayed in the newly built courtyard to wait. The city lord's mansion in the central valley has not yet been built, and the new houses in Lu Village have been prepared by Baoyu.

......

According to the guidance of the mountain god, the Qingshan patriarch has recently been arranging how to send Baoyu out of the wilderness. Half a month ago, he sent a team to Ba Yuan to pay tribute to the monarch. The leader of the team is Xin Shu, a master of engineering, who is familiar with the situation and etiquette of each city along the way, and it is more convenient to deal with people on behalf of Shanshui City.

Since the conflict with Gaocheng, Shanshui City needs a "messenger" like Xin Shu even more. When the tributary procession passed through Gaocheng, Xin Shu also made a special visit to the new lord of Gaocheng and gave Qingshan a gift.

There were young people such as Shu Zhuang, Ah Jin, and Yue Niu'er in the tributary procession, and the Qingshan patriarch asked them to follow Lord Xin Shu to learn more, see more, open their eyes, and gain insight. In addition, there is also the elder of the Jiaorong Department, Dajiao, he led a group of first-born two-horned demon clan warriors, these people are tall and strong, and are good at driving cattle and horses, which is suitable for transporting all kinds of products of Shanshui City and Jin Xian Guojun.

Sending envoys to pay tribute to the monarch in the wilderness is of course very eye-catching, especially the demon people with two horns in the team, which is a scene that many people in the city have never seen. People have heard rumors of various demon clans in the wilderness, but most of them have not had the opportunity to see it with their own eyes, and this time it is a feast for their eyes.

Why did Qingshan send Dajiao and a group of Jiaorong people to the national capital? On the one hand, it was because he also wanted to open his eyes in the national capital, and on the other hand, it also had a profound meaning, Qingshan just wanted people to know that the demon clan in the wilderness had come to pay tribute.
