Tianyun Seeking the Tao Chapter 3 Exercises are in hand
At the place where the bamboo stick was broken, a date-like object fell out of the hat, and Han Nuo picked it up and found that it was the colorful fruit that he had thrown into the hat beforeโthe Benxian Fruit. And although this Benxian fruit has been stuck in the hat for nearly half a month, it has not shrunk and dried out like jujubes at all, but is still watery and full of water.
Han Nuo suddenly came to his senses when he saw this Benxian Fruit, putting aside the medicinal properties of the Benxian Fruit, as long as it was a fruit, it could provide water. Now that it is known to be edible, if it can be copied by a disc, would it provide a lot of water? Moreover, the fruits are rich in vitamins, which also have a great effect on the recovery of infected wounds, thinking of this, Han Nuo immediately began to experiment again.
This time, the experiment was unsurprisingly successful again. Before the moonlight disappeared, Han Nuo had obtained a total of five fruits, and with the addition of the original one, it was six. Han Nuo chose the most delicious looking seed from the middle and decided to eat all the others. After all, the water they contain really can't meet the needs of an adult.
But what Han Nuo didn't know was that this Ben Immortal Fruit was an ordinary fruit, and it was an immortal fruit that contained hundreds of years of essence. Sure enough, when a few Benxian Fruits were just in their stomachs, there were no major problems. Han Nuo was also happy to fill his stomach, so he put the hat on his face and fell asleep. In less than a quarter of an hour, Han Nuo felt a sudden heat in his body, and his stomach began to swell. The whole person was in pain, and he couldn't sit or lie down, just rolling around.
But no one saw all this, the miners were supposed to go to work, and the guards counted the number of people who worked. For Han Nuo, the long day is tantamount to living like a year, and he doesn't know what has happened to his body at every moment, and he doesn't know if he can still live. At the moment when the sun went down, he finally curled up and fell beside the pile of bones, not moving.
When the moon first rose, the strong man came to see Han Nuo, and when he saw his miserable appearance, the strong man dragged the steamed bun in his hand in his hand a little stupidly, and left without looking back. As he walked, he nibbled on the steamed bun in his hand, and there was a fierce light in his eyes. Four days later, when the strong man woke up, he found a colorful fruit in his pocket.
And on that day, the ban around the mine detected a small fluctuation. The sect monk guarding the mine immediately made a round around the mine, and the guards quickly counted the number of miners. Of course, they didn't find anyone missing, and the monks didn't find anything that touched the prohibition.
The prohibition is a section next to the Maoxian River, and outside the prohibition is the Maoxian River. Therefore, the monk did not continue to investigate when he arrived here, and if anyone could escape from here, then he did not have the confidence to stop the other party. In addition, the guards reported that no one had escaped from the mine.
Half a month later, Han Nuo appeared in a very remote village, which was the third village he had visited. The fact that these villages are remote does not mean that he can just blend in. Seeing that he could not be identified, Rimasa of the first village suspected him of being an enemy spy. The second village was suspicious of his fabricated identity and was ready to report to investigate whether he was a deserter. As soon as he entered the village, Han Nuo found the blacksmith shop in the village.
The blacksmith did not welcome Hanno's arrival, as strangers could not order iron at will. But Han Nuo's identity made him immediately change his attitude and decided to solve the identity problem for Han Nuo.
Han Nuo claimed to be an outer disciple of the Refining Sect, and was expelled from the sect for stealing the secret science of refining from the sect, hoping to find a job in the blacksmith's shop and give himself something to eat. The blacksmith looked at Han Nuo and saw that although he was dressed a little ragged, he had a unique aura of an immortal cultivator on his body. It turned out that after Han Nuo ate the Benxian Fruit and waded through the Maoxian River, his body was already different from ordinary people, and his body revealed a kind of charm of fairy wind and bones.
Of course, the blacksmith would not believe Han Nuo's words just by his appearance, but Han Nuo then pointed out some technical points in smelting to the blacksmith, but the blacksmith's hut was suddenly opened. He even had the blacksmith try to quench his tools with oil instead of water, so that the blacksmith gradually believed in his identity and was willing to keep it a secret for him.
The reason why Han Nuo chose this blacksmith is because he knows that in the agrarian society, the status of a blacksmith is extremely high, and this kind of technical talent often has a greater thirst for advanced technology than money attracts them. One cloudy afternoon, the blacksmith carried a pot of wine to Lizheng's house, and when he returned, Han Nuo had the identity of an ordinary person.
Han Nuo had been in this village for about half a year, and by inquiring, he got all the information he wanted to know.
First, this place is called China, and it is the largest country in the vicinity. This took him by surprise. Finally, with the help of the blacksmith, he finally obtained a geographical map of the world. But when he saw the three words on the cover of the illustrated magazine, the whole person was stunned, because the name of the book was the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Second, there are immortal cultivators in this world, but they never appear in front of mortals. Therefore, the mortal kingdom is basically ruled by a mortal regime, and the administrative system is somewhat similar to the county system in the Qin and Han dynasties. But the ruling class is connected with the immortals, and most of the ruling class has some sects of cultivating immortals behind them.
Third, regarding the cultivation of immortal arts, mortals basically have no chance to get involved. Because those cultivation techniques and resources were firmly controlled by the various immortal cultivation sects. Therefore, in this world, if you want to cultivate immortals, in addition to fighting for chance, you must also fight for blood. If you are lucky enough to be born in a big family, you may be able to be accepted as a disciple by the sect and cultivated, but if you are born in an ordinary family, you will not even get a single mantra.
Based on this information, Han Nuo set his next goal - becoming an immortal. Because only by becoming an immortal can there be a way to return to the earth. Even if you can't return to Earth, if you want to reach the pinnacle of life in this world, you can only become an immortal, because in the eyes of immortals, mortals are ants after all. And the most important point is that since you have come to a world where you can cultivate immortals, if you can't fly with the sword, then this journey through life is not cool at all.
Now that the goal has been set, he basically understands his next development ideas. First of all, you should find a big family with a sect behind you, and then get in and get the opportunity to practice immortal arts. Once you have a goal, you should act now.
After another half a year, Han Nuo left the blacksmith with a set of automatic iron-striking equipment driven by water power and left, although it was automatic iron-making, it was actually a device for the waterwheel to drive a cam mechanism to rotate, which was simple but useful. And the thousand forging techniques he taught to blacksmiths were nothing more than changing the crystal structure and carbon content inside the iron through repeated hammering. But what he didn't know was that years later, the village would become one of the country's most important weapons producers. The swords that go out from here have also become a weapon sought after by warriors.
Anfeng City, as its name suggests, is a big city in the Central Plains of the Kingdom. The city is surrounded by plains for hundreds of miles, which is very suitable for farming, and with wide roads and convenient transportation, both agriculture and handicrafts are very prosperous. But recently, the city has faced a lot of trouble, and in order to solve this trouble, the county guard even posted a notice of a thousand gold rewards at the city gate. However, as time went on, fewer and fewer people came to take down the notice.
However, on this day, a young man came, and after reading the bounty notice, he ripped it off, and it was Han Nuo, who had come here after trekking through mountains and rivers.
As soon as the guards saw that someone had unveiled the list, they immediately came over to inquire, and when they learned that Han Nuo was confident that he could complete the task on the list, they immediately let Han Nuo get into the carriage to the county guard's mansion.
A moment later, Han Nuo followed the two guards all the way into the county guard's office. The county guard did not wait for him in the hall of the palace, but in a garden behind the palace. Han Nuo looked at this rather desolate garden, and wondered why the other party would receive him in such a place. The group came to a dry pond, and there was a small pavilion by the pond, where the county guard and a white-bearded Taoist with some fairy bones were playing chess.
Han Nuo followed the guards to stand in front of the pavilion and politely waited for the guards to come forward to report. After listening to the guards' report, the county guard just turned his head and glanced at Han Nuo, then turned his head and continued to stare at the chessboard. Seeing this, Han Nuo was not annoyed, but just squinted his eyes and looked at the old Taoist in the pavilion.
The old Taoist sensed Han Nuo's gaze, so he also turned his head to look at him. For some reason, after the old Taoist looked at Han Nuo, his face turned a little strange. He looked at Han Nuo intently for a while, and finally didn't say anything, turned his head and continued to play chess.
The county guard also seemed to sense the old Taoist's abnormality, so he turned his head and asked Han Nuo, "I heard that you have a way to alleviate the drought here from us?" โ
"At first there were, but not now." Han Nuo smiled and turned around to leave, but was stopped by the guards behind him.
"Why is that?" The county guard stared at Han Nuo's back in surprise.
"I heard that Anfeng County is benevolent and virtuous for the people, the ancestors are worried, and the people are happy, so I came to parrots to fight the fire. Now it seems that it is just a fame and reputation, so why should I take care of it? Han Nuo raised his head and said.
"This ......" Although the county guard deceived Han Nuo at the beginning, he was young and ragged, but when he heard him talk extraordinary, and saw that the old Taoist looked at him differently, he immediately stood up. There are many slackness, but there are many people who are confused. If you have a way to save the people, I hope you will not hesitate to tell you. With that, the county guard walked up to Han Nuo and bowed to him.
Han Nuo saw that the attitude of the county guard had changed, and he no longer made it difficult. He smiled slightly at the county guard, "Everything in the world has a price, and I didn't come here just to save the people of Li, but I have some selfish desires." โ
"What do you want, sir?" Seeing Han Nuo's attitude change, the county guard began to feel that there was a play, so he took a step sideways towards Han Nuo. Han Nuo smiled close to him and whispered to him, then stopped talking. The county guard looked at him with an embarrassed face, and then at the white-bearded Taoist. Then he raised his feet and returned to the pavilion and whispered to the old Taoist.
When the old Taoist heard the words of the county guard, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again. "It's easy." The old Taoist looked at Han Nuo and said, "Xiaoyou's trip, I want to use the power of Wenjun Shou to enter the Immortal Sect, this matter can be said with certainty, it is absolutely impossible." Looking at the entire kingdom, there is no sect that will give a mortal such a chance. โ
"Then what do you mean by 'easy'?" Han Nuo looked at the old Taoist and muttered a little in his heart.
"If you change your mind, you will first seek a basic exercise, and when your practice reaches a certain stage, you will be taken in by the Immortal Sect, which is easy." The old Taoist smiled.
After listening to the old Taoist's words, Han Nuo silently analyzed it in his heart. I obviously heard that the immortal arts were monopolized by various immortal sects, which caused mortals to have no chance to cultivate immortals. However, the old Taoist said that it is easy to obtain the basic exercises first, and there are other ways to circulate the immortal exercises. He raised his head and looked at the old man with an inquiring look.
"So be it." The old Taoist took out a booklet from his sleeve, "This is an entry-level basic exercise, if Xiaoyou can solve the problem of Wenjun Shou with the power of mortals, how about giving this exercise to Xiaoyou?" โ
"This! If the immortal master is like this, then the promised gold on the list must be paid to the immortal master! Wen Junshou immediately thanked him.
Seeing this, Han Nuo smiled and nodded, and discussed with Wen Junshou to arrange the next thing to do.
Five days later, Han Nuo reappeared in the back garden of the county guard's mansion. This time, there were two tall soldiers standing behind him, the two lieutenants that the county guard had arranged to assist him. Han Nuo first searched around the garden, then drew a circle on a certain ground, and one of the lieutenants commanded a team of men and horses to set up a set of devices in the place of the circle.
The device quickly drilled a hole about thirty centimeters in diameter at the position of the circle, and Han Nuo told the person operating the device not to stop, but to continue digging deep until the excavated soil became more and more wet, and finally the mud was dug up.
Then the team moved the hole-punching device away and replaced it with another strange device. The lower half of the device is a slender iron pipe that is inserted into the depths of the hole, and the part that remains outside the hole is a cylindrical object with a tube below and a lever-like handle at the top.
After the device was fixed, Han Nuo poured a scoop of water on the top of the device, and let people shake the handle up and down, and soon, the pipe below began to flow water. The moment the water flowed out, the people in the garden boiled. Bungun Shou had been watching, and he couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw the device pumping water from under the originally dry garden.
At this time, Han Nuo took a scoop of water from the water pipe, carried it to Wen Jun Shou, and handed the water to Wen Jun Shou. Wenjun Shou took it and drank it all, and said happily, "Sweet and cool!" Han Nuo smiled at him, he didn't expect such a basic well killing technique to be sold for a lot of money here.
"Sir, this technique seems to be quite iron-consuming, can it be replaced with other materials? And it's so complicated, I'm afraid I won't be able to prepare it in a short time. Wen Junshou suddenly said a point that he was worried about.
"The county guard can rest assured that the drilling device can be used repeatedly, even if it is only ten sets, one set of three wells drilled a day, and thirty wells can be drilled a day. In my view of the Anfeng land, there were irrigation ditches, and if the wells could be dug in the ditch traffic area, the number of wells needed to be dug could be doubled. As for the iron needed for the well, I believe that the county guard will not be in short supply. If it really doesn't work, I have a set of iron-smelting secrets here, which I can copy to you, as far as I know, Anfeng has iron ore. Han Nuo smiled and calculated an account for the county guard.
"But Mr. doesn't know, my country's salt and iron officials sell, and the lower officials don't dare to open the furnace to make iron without permission, and this matter still needs to be declared to the imperial court." Wen Jun Shou said with an embarrassed face.
"This matter is not something that the grass people can do. As seen by the county guard, I have copied several copies of the drawings of this machine and the method of selecting the location of the well and handed them to the adults. As long as adults can popularize this method, I believe that Anfeng will not miss farming this year, and will still be happy and prosperous. Han Nuo smiled and looked at Wen Junshou, who looked at him and silently lowered his head and thought for a while.
In the following month, Han Nuo divided the twenty soldiers handed over to him by Wenjun into ten groups, and in groups of two, they radiated in all directions with well-drilling devices with Anfeng City as the center, and traveled to all the villages in Anfeng Territory.
Everywhere they went, people from another village came and waited, and when the well was drilled, they assisted the soldiers in transporting the device back to their village. Occasionally, there were some villages that couldn't drill into the water anyway, and they also succeeded in drilling out of the water with the help of Han Nuo.
In this way, the originally dry land of Anfeng soon wafted with the fragrance of rice.
On this day, in the back garden of the county guard's mansion, the same pavilion, but the surrounding scenery was completely different. There are lotus flowers in the pond and green trees in the garden. Wenjun guarded his face for half a year, and finally showed a smile. He happily handed a silver ticket of one thousand taels to the white-bearded Taoist, and then took a yellowed booklet from the Taoist and handed it to Han Nuo.
Han Nuo took the booklet, gently smoothed the crumpled pages, then opened it and read a few words, then nodded and tucked it up his sleeve.
The white-bearded Taoist couldn't help but smile when he saw his solemn expression. "Xiaoyou, what special chance does it have to be so eager to cultivate immortals and become enlightened, right?"
"Why did the seniors say this?"
"I see that although Xiaoyou is a mortal body, he exudes a clear and transparent feeling, as if someone has washed the marrow of the I Ching for you, but I see that Xiaoyou doesn't even have basic exercises, so I think there is a special opportunity." The old Taoist explained.
"I happened to eat a colorful fruit in the next place." Han Nuo nodded and said.
"But Ben Xianguo!" The old Taoist finally confirmed his conjecture from Han Nuo's mouth, he stood up in surprise, and suddenly sat down quite lonely.
"Seniors know about this fruit?" Han Nuo feigned surprise.
"Of course I do! If I could get a pill of this Ben Immortal Fruit in this life, I am afraid that my cultivation would have been able to reach a higher level a long time ago, and I would not have to worry about old age all day long. The old Taoist sighed.
Han Nuo looked at the old Taoist's long white beard and understood the other party's envy, but he didn't say anything, just said that he still had important things to do, so he said goodbye to the two. Wen Junshou and the old Taoist glanced at each other, and asked the old Taoist rather regretfully, "Immortal Master thinks that this little friend is likely to enter the Immortal Dao with such qualifications?" โ
"I can't say it, I can't say it, when I enter the immortal road, qualification is important, and immortal fate is even more important." The old Taoist stroked his beard and looked at Han Nuo's back in the distance and said.
