Chapter 14: Mud
As the saying goes, mud can't support the wall, whether Wang Lung is a puddle of mud or a stubborn rock, it depends on Wang Lung himself.
Wang Lung's experience not only involves Wang Lung himself, everyone is a participant, the old ghost they watched Wang Lung grow step by step, how Wang Lung has performed in recent years, they all see in their eyes, Wang Lung who has been refined from his own hands, no matter who it is, wants to make Wang Lung the most perfect jade, but Wang Lung's current situation is still far from perfect.
As the saying goes, jade is not a weapon, and there are still two guardian tests before Wang Lung's experience is over, and the urgent work falls on Arlinn and Xuetian, how to torture Wang Lung or how to make Wang Lung into a beautiful jade, it depends on how to stimulate Wang Lung's potential.
After all, Wang Lung is not a cultivator now, there are many things that cannot be taught to Wang Lung, and Wang Lung still has a lot of bad problems, which is unacceptable to a group of guardians who test Wang Lung, their idea is very simple, that is, during Wang Lung's training, let Wang Lung change according to his own ideas, but unfortunately they all ignore a problem, that is, Wang Lung has grown up, and his character has already been formed, so it is really difficult for Wang Lung to change something.
No matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try, so the trials that Wang Lung has experienced are carefully selected by the major guardians, but in addition to the old naughty boy, after all, the situation at that time was very special, and the old naughty boy was also a passive test of Wang Lung.
Growing flowers in a waterless Pure Land is delusional, and Arlinn sends Wang Lung into the Pure Land with her own selfish intentions, and also risks being punished by her ancestors, in order to see if Wang Lung can obtain the law of water with his own perception within half a year.
This is indeed difficult for some strong people, let alone Wang Lung, even Arlinn himself does not have any confidence that he will be recognized by the Law of Water in half a year, but this is not Arlinn's purpose, Arlinn is the reason why he did it. I still want to continue to temper Wang Long.
Everyone has their own purpose, for Wang Long, their starting point and purpose are the same, the only difference is the means, those who have passed the experience are counted, like Mo Tianlong, Ao Qing and others are already powerless. I can only hope that the guardians in the back can train Wang Lung well.
Poor Wang Lung didn't know that the more his experience became more and more perverted in the end, Zhong Hui gave him the title of the experience was to refine a Pei Yuan Dan, which was an impossible task, and in the end Wang Lung only refined a waste pill, he still didn't understand why Zhong Hui admitted that he had passed the trial, and now he was replaced by Arlinn.
Wang Lung is deceived by Arlinn's beautiful appearance and friendly tone, and a test of planting flowers makes Wang Lung mistakenly think that it is simple, but in practice it is a different matter. The Law of Water must be recognized within six months, or else Arlinn's mission will not be completed.
Zhong Hui could barely account for the past with a waste pill, but Arlinn definitely can't do it here, he can't get the recognition of the Law of Water, can he return the three seeds that Arlinn gave him to him and return them intact, even a fool knows that it is impossible to pass the trial, in short, Wang Lung must be recognized by the Law of Water. No matter what means Wang Lung uses, Baiyue Shame must be planted into flowers. Otherwise, he can say goodbye to the miracle space forever.
Wang Lung opened his eyes, he moved to the corridor soon after he fell asleep because of the huge physical exertion, this sleep made Wang Lung's physical strength recover a lot, and now he can walk normally, but he can't hold on for too long, after all, his qi and blood have not fully recovered. It's easy to feel exhausted.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wang Lung turned his head in the direction of the pit he had dug before, which was a masterpiece he had made on the first day of his visit to the Pure Land, and had been idle until now because there was no water. However, the hard soil that was crushed by him was still the same as before, very soft, and after Baiyue was planted, it would not be unable to take root because of the soil, but unfortunately the most important thing was not.
After getting up, he slowly walked towards the dirt pit, and when he reached the side, Wang Lung squatted down, twisted the soft sand with his right hand, and sighed in his heart, how can the law of water come to his head, without water, it is impossible for Baiyue to take root and sprout.
Water, water, water...... Keeping muttering in his mouth, Wang Lung suddenly thought of a method that could be watered, but he felt disgusting when he thought about that method, and he didn't know if he could use it, if he didn't work, he was afraid that he would waste a seed of a hundred moons.
Wang Lung now understands that planting flowers in the Pure Land seems simple, but in fact, he doesn't know what ulterior secrets are hidden behind it, and now he can't even pass the water level, so naturally he can't predict what accidents will follow, if Arlinn gave him a flower seed, he wouldn't have to think about it so much, but in fact he has three in his hand, which is worth seeking.
Wang Lung thought for a moment, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although the method he had just thought of was a little disgusting, but if he didn't try it, he was afraid that he would not be reconciled, Wang Lung didn't have any expectations for this method, for him now, it was not to see if he could really feed Bai Yue Shay, but to test how long the water could be kept after entering the soil.
Arlinn once reminded him that there is no water in the Pure Land, and even if there is water, it cannot exist for more than ten breaths, and he has been trying to understand the law of water during this time, but he has ignored one of the most critical questions, if there is water, can the soil retain water after watering it into the soil without losing it, if the water in the soil disappears without a trace within ten breaths, then Wang Lung has no need to continue to perceive the law of water.
After all, there is not much water condensed by the law of water, and at most it can water a hundred moon shy, Wang Lung estimates that he can be tired and half dead after completing a watering, if he is allowed to continue to irrigate, it is an impossible task.
Thinking of this, Wang Lung took out a little soil from the pit with both hands, and carefully piled a small mound not far from the pit, and made a groove from the middle of the mound, which looked like a miniature basin.
After doing all this, Wang Lung nodded, stood up and began to untie his trouser belt.
If anyone is watching, they will find that Wang Lung is doing a more humiliating thing, peeing and mud, which is a kind of game played by children in the seventies and eighties of the last century, but Wang Lung did it in the Pure Land.
The action of peeing and mud was not used by Wang Lung to play, he wanted to see the urine mixed into the soil. Will the already sticky soil revert to its original shape after ten breaths?
Before he had time to lift his pants, Wang Lung looked at the dirt on the ground with both eyes, one, two...... Five...... Eight...... Ten, Wang Lung held his breath and counted silently in his heart, when the time of ten breaths passed. Wang Lung's eyes were fixed on the ground, for fear that the soil that had turned into thin mud would turn into sand again.
Fortunately, Wang Lung let out a long breath, he had been staring at the ground for five or six minutes, and there was not much change in the mud or mud, it seemed that his conjecture had been confirmed, but Wang Lung was not happy for long, he knew a very important thing, that is, whether this mud could last for one to three days.
After all, it only takes three days to bloom after the hundred moon is planted. If the soil can be kept moist for three days, then it can be planted with a hundred moons, even if the soil can be kept moist for a day, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to be a little more tired, condense the water every day with the law of water for irrigation, as long as this condition can be met, the next thing is to see how Wang Lung can get the recognition of the law of water.
Seeing that the mud was still like that, Wang Lung's face finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. The next thing he had to do was wait, wait an hour or so to come and observe. See how long your masterpiece will stay hydrated.
Satisfied, Wang Lung turned around and walked towards the corridor, but unfortunately, before he could take half a step on his leg, he tripped over his pants and fell to the ground, because Wang Lung was patronizing and observing, and forgot to put them on for a moment. His pants fell below the knee and he didn't notice it, and his life was still naked for a long time.
Fortunately, there was no one in the Pure Land, Wang Lung got up in embarrassment and put on his pants again, and looked around as a thief, only then did he remember that he didn't have to worry about anything at all. He is the only one in the Pure Land, unless the ancestors hide and peek nearby.
An hour later, Wang Lung came to the side of the mud that he was doing experiments again, looked at it carefully, and found that the mud was still relatively wet, similar to the speed of drying on the earth, so he nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, Wang Lung came to see every hour, until his energy was gradually exhausted, and then he had to lie down in the corridor to sleep, when he woke up again, he looked at the pile of soil that was no longer thin mud, the water was still there, although it was less, but the inside of the soil was still relatively wet, it seemed that the moisture was maintained well, and if it continued like this, it should be no problem to persist for three days.
The joy of the success of the experiment passed quickly, and the key reason was the problem of water, Wang Lung didn't think about watering Baiyue with his own urine, but this idea was rejected in a flash in his mind.
That's impossible, the composition of urine is very clear Wang Lung, it contains more than ninety percent of water, but there are also a small number of inorganic salts such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, according to normal, urine can be watered flowers, and the nitrogen contained in it can make plants flourish; phosphorus can promote the flowering and fruiting of plants; potassium promotes plant stalks to be strong, it can be said that urine is of great help to plant growth, commonly known as 'farm fertilizer', but unfortunately Wang Lung can not be used.
He couldn't remember exactly what kind of Kao Dragon was, but he knew that there was no such variety as Baiyue Shy on the earth, and even if there were, it was planted in the caves of each guardian for viewing, and ordinary people couldn't see it.
The water that irrigates the hundred moon is not ordinary water, like tap water, lake water, pure water, mineral water and the like, it must use pure water to bloom, this pure water is not the same as the bottled pure water that ordinary people drink, it is water that does not contain the slightest impurity, tap water or other ordinary water, but it must be purified, and all the impurities in it can be removed in order to water the hundred moon shame, otherwise the hundred moon shame can not survive.
Wang Lung's urine has too many ingredients in it, and if it could be used directly, Wang Lung would not have wanted to go back to Earth to ask Arlinn for water, and he would have solved it himself.
As for purifying urine and turning it into pure water, it is impossible for the current Wang Long, just like letting him refine Pei Yuan Dan, there is no hope at all.
Wang Lung is not stupid, even if Baiyue Shame has no requirements for water, Wang Lung does not dare to use his own urine to water Hundred Moon Shame, when the time comes, it will really bloom, what is the fragrance of the flowers, you can guess it, Arlinn is such a holy natural elf, Wang Lung holds a urine full of Baiyue Shame Mess, it is estimated that without Arlinn's action, both brothers can disgust him to death.
As the saying goes, a man can be killed, but Wang Lung is not so shameless, although Arlinn has no good intentions for him to come to the Pure Land to plant flowers, but he can't do anything that will be criticized by future generations, otherwise he will really not be able to meet people in the future.
Squatting beside the pit again, Wang Lung fell into deep thought, now everything is ready only to the east wind, the problem of water has not been solved, the work done before seems to be useless, there is nothing without water, and now the simplest thing has become a stumbling block.
Holding the sparse sand in his hand, Wang Lung's mind kept churning, his understanding of water was still on the surface, unlike in the past, the five rules of time, space, metal, fire, and wood all had some specific factors in them, which made him have an epiphany, and in retrospect, he himself felt a little confused.
To become a cultivator, the most important thing is to perceive more than two rules, and there must be one of the rules of time or space, and then carry out preliminary integration in order to become a true cultivator.
According to the two brothers, among the cultivators, there are two kinds of rules, there are many of them, four are relatively scarce, five are unavoidable, and six are more difficult to find than seven, because cultivators who can perceive the six rules can generally perceive all the rules, and the cultivators of the Great Perfection of the Rules are said to have not appeared for a long time.
Wang Lung really wanted to become a cultivator of the Great Perfection of Rules, but this required chance, now he had realized the five rules, which was already precious, and now he was forced to comprehend the sixth rule, he had a trace of expectation in his heart, and a trace of fear, if he was really recognized by the law of water, then he would inevitably attack the last rule, that is, the law of earth.
The rules of the Great Perfection are exciting to think about, but this kind of miracle that will only appear in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer falls on his head, this question Wang Lung didn't dare to think about, he just hoped to get the law of water in a limited time, as for the matter of the Great Perfection, let's leave it for later. (To be continued......)
