Chapter 271: Four Immortals
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." Song Yushan said: "Let's go to the village tomorrow to have a look!" ”
In this village's situation, temporary help can only make them feel better temporarily, and to completely solve their food and clothing problems, we can only find ways to solve the problem fundamentally.
Let's take a look at what the villagers do for a living.
After dawn, Song Yushan and the four of them entered the village with an invisibility charm.
The village is located in a small valley.
The houses were built at the foot of the mountain, and the flat area in the middle was all reclaimed as fields.
The output of these fields is the main source of food for the villagers.
Compared to the population of the village, these fields are too small.
Deep in the mountains, surrounded by lofty mountains, there are very few places that can be used for arable land.
The lack of arable land is an important reason for the shortage of food.
If there is not enough land, it will be cultivated carefully, and the harvest will be completed.
Qin Yuan twisted the crops in the field: "Why does this seedling look so thin?" ”
Ning Danxia looked at the soil in the field: "The soil is fine, it should be rice grown." ”
"I have a way to do this." Song Yushan made a seal with both hands and performed a breeding technique on the seedlings in the field.
After the breeding technique is upgraded, not only is it more accurately controlled, but the power of nourishment and growth is stronger, and from the Dacheng level, all the power of breeding can be used for improvement, which can improve the quality of mortal plants to a certain extent.
This quality is heritable.
If you can use the Perfection Breeding Technique to cultivate it from generation to generation, many generations later, you can even cultivate Mortal Plants into Spirit Plants.
At present, the grain seeds in the hands of most farmers are more or less high-quality grain seeds cultivated by monks using breeding techniques, and the grain yield is very good.
After all, monks also have to fill their stomachs, but no monk will be a farmer.
High-quality grain seeds are the foundation for many monks to concentrate on their cultivation.
This village, perhaps because it is too remote and has too little contact with the outside world, has never undergone breeding techniques, and the quality of grain seeds is so low.
Just to improve the quality of the seedlings, so that they leave seeds with higher yields, the Dacheng-level breeding technique may still need to be cultivated for many years, and the consummation-level breeding technique only needs to be cast once.
After nourishing all the fields in the village with breeding techniques, Song Yushan said: "In the future, the grain output in the fields should be doubled." But this is still not enough, there is still too little land. ”
"The surrounding mountains and forests are abundant, and when the season is right, we can fill our stomachs by hunting and gathering, although the strength of mortals is poor, but it is still okay as a supplement, right? Why do I see that there are only hunters in the village, but no one goes up to the mountains to pick up mountain goods? It just rained the day before yesterday, so it's a good time to pick up mushrooms! Mo Yuming couldn't understand it.
"It's possible that they don't know what they can eat and what they can't." Qin Yuan said.
At night, Song Yushan and the others went to the old cave again, carefully questioned the ghosts of the old man in the cave, and confirmed their conjecture.
The people of the village used to be very hungry and ate the plants of the mountains, but they all died.
Since then, no one in the village has eaten the plants of the mountains anymore.
The four of them summed it up and decided to help the old people and ghosts to give their children and grandchildren dreams, and use the dreams to tell the villagers about the common edible plants in the mountains.
By the way, it can also fulfill the wishes of the old woman in green and clarify herself.
When the old man in the cave learned of their intentions, he was full of disbelief.
After taking them to recognize those plants in person and eating them for dinner, they believed that it was true, and they knelt down to thank them: "Immortal Master's great grace!" ”
In the end, not only the old ghosts in the old cave participated, but also the old ghosts hanged in the dry wells and mountains, and even the existing ghosts in the entire village.
Some of the ghosts who are serious about living in the earth have the power to dream alone, but most of the ghosts, especially the abandoned old ghosts, have very weak ghost power and have no ability to dream at all.
However, Song Yushan has a dream talisman, such a large-scale dream realm, an intermediate dream talisman can solve all problems.
That night, all the adults in the village had the same dream.
The deceased relatives all returned, and told them that there were immortals passing by who took pity on the villagers for their difficult survival, abandoned the old and raised the young, taught everyone the art of gathering and hunting, and also cast immortal spells on the fields.
In their dreams, they studied with the immortals who couldn't see their faces for a year, and watched the fields harvest twice as much grain as before, and this year, a newborn baby was born in the village, but no old man was abandoned.
In the midst of laughter, I woke up from my dream.
"It's just a dream!" In the early morning of this day, many villagers couldn't help but let out such a sigh of regret.
When they talked about this dream with the people around them, they suddenly realized that everyone had the same dream.
It was very unusual, and they suddenly remembered the events of this dream, and they remembered them very clearly.
Someone went to see the seedlings in the field and exclaimed, "This seedling is as thick as the one in the dream!" ”
"Dream ...... It can't be true! ”
Someone hurriedly went to the pine tree to pick a few pine mushrooms, cooked them in the dream method, and fed them to the family dog, but the dog did nothing.
"Dream ...... It seems to be true! ”
While the people in the village are surprised, they keep trying what they have learned in their dreams.
Guan Ming remembered the words of the old lady in his dream, stumbled towards the abandoned old cave, and sure enough, as in a dream, he saw a monkey-faced monster dressed in the old lady's clothes and human skin.
This directly confirms the reality of the dream!
Although the dream wakes up, the reality also has a chance to be as beautiful as the dream.
Remembering what the immortal master said in the dream, people need to be buried in the earth for peace, so that the soul can have a shelter in the underworld, and the people in the village have gone up the mountain to collect and bury the bones of their relatives.
Maybe it's because of guilt, maybe it's because of fear, abandon the old hole, the dry well, and the hanging valley, except for the old people who were sent here, in fact, not many people have personally walked in to see it.
This time, they saw the desperation here with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but wet their eyes when they remembered the appearance of their relatives in their dreams.
"I hope they can abolish the custom of abandoning the old like in their dreams, and the old have something to rely on and the young to support!" Ning Danxia looked at the small village from a distance and said.
"We've done what we can, and the rest is up to them." Song Yushan said.
"Let me do a divination."
Under the others, Qin Yuan made a hexagram, and after she read the hexagram, she said to her partners with a smile: "The hexagram shows that everything is good in this village!" ”
"It's time to go." Mo Yuming said.
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and embarked on the journey with peace of mind.
Many years later, deep in the mountains to the west of Lushan County, a village called Sixian Village was included in the map.
The people of the village are good at hunting and gathering, and there is also a story of the four immortals teaching the villagers in their dreams.
