Chapter 87, Time is long, return to the homeland

After spending a few days in an Inuit stockade and figuring out what was going on nearby, the two men got on board and sailed along the coast like southeast. As for why they didn't go straight into the depths of the continent from here, because the Inuit told them that it was desert inside. Li Shucheng also knows that this place belongs to the United States in later generations, with the world's most famous gambling city Las Vegas, which has been mentioned in many movies on Hong Kong Island, such as Fa Ge's "God of Gamblers Series", where Andy's God of Gamblers apprentice Daozai was named a gambler......

Follow the coast to a huge harbor, from which you can disembark even if you cross the mainland. The coast and even the large islands are inhabited by indigenous people, who form tribes to hunt and fish. The two found an uninhabited island and hid the boat, then cut down trees and made a simple boat, rowed into the harbor, and then went ashore.

I walked slowly to the east for about ten days, and I saw four or five tribes along the way, but each tribe was not very populous. It wasn't until a month later that the local natives became more numerous, and large tribes began to appear.

"There's a lot of people here. Jiang Mingyue said.

"It's so fertile here, you can survive by hunting, how can there not be many people. Li Shucheng said with a smile. It is precisely because this place is so fertile, the forest and grassland are full of wild beasts, and there are a large number of fish in the lake, so you can live well by hunting and fishing. Therefore, how can you still use the hard work of farming like the Han people in the Central Plains. There is no farming, no cities, even civilization has not progressed for many years, like the Inuit, there is no writing, only communication by language, everything is so backward.

Crossing the continent to the east coast, opposite the Atlantic Ocean, the two stayed here for a long time, eating all the delicious food in the sea. During this time, the two also domesticated several bald eagles, made a hanging basket and tied them to the legs of several eagles with ropes, and took them to the sky respectively. Jiang Mingyue went to the sky for the first time, and after coming down, he was very excited, and Li Shucheng, well, he was also a turtle in his last life, and this is also the first time he has gone to heaven. The liquefaction of true qi did not allow the two of them to fly like Xiu Zhenshang.

With a few eagles, the two of them were more relaxed, except for changing their tastes, they didn't have to hunt and fish, and a few eagles helped them solve the problem.

The two wandered aimlessly, and after more than a dozen spring and autumn seasons, they came to another continent. Although the natives here are still backward, they are much more advanced than those in the north, and have formed a state with their own language and simple writing.

"I can understand if you bring these seeds back, forget about these trunks, although the green wood looks special, but it is just wood. Jiang Mingyue watched Li Shucheng go to move the few pieces of wood on the boat and said. She also knew that the wood was more precious than the red sandalwood, but it was too big, and she was worried that something would happen to the ship. They had been here for sixteen or seven years, and the logs had been cut down for four or five years, and had dried, but they were still very heavy, and very long, about the length of a ship.

"It's because it's special, that's why I want to take it away. Li Shucheng said. This is holy sandalwood, something that has a price in a few hundred years, how can you throw it away.

On the return trip, we drove northwest along the coast, and stopped at the island where the boat was hidden, the ship was very badly decayed, but the iron pot with a layer of pine resin wrapped at the beginning was not rusty much, and it could still be used, and the clay pot porcelain pot was not broken, and it could be used after cleaning and washing.

Bering Strait, Kamchatka, Goryeo, Dengju.

After arriving in Dengzhou, Li Shucheng went ashore to investigate, and came back to Jiang Mingyue and said: "I didn't expect that we remembered so many wrong days, and it has been forty-four years. "When you're on the northern continent, you have four distinct seasons, and you can't mistake the year. But later, on the continent to the south, there were no distinct seasons, and it was easy to mistake the time if you didn't pay attention to your cultivation. The two thought that thirty-four or five years had passed, but they knew that forty-four years had passed.

"Forty-four years? Jiang Mingyue also shook her head and sighed.

"Yes, we are already one hundred and twenty-four or five years old, look at our appearance, we are so lucky!" Li Shucheng also sighed. They still look like they are still in their thirties, you must know that when Huang Yaoshi and others were at this age, they all had gray hair and loose skin, and they didn't have a few years to live.

Figuring out the time, the ship continued south.

Originally, as long as they returned to the Central Plains, they could stop anywhere, but the rubber tree seeds they finally brought back had to be planted in a place with high temperatures, so they could only continue to go south.

"Do you want to take these pieces of wood with you?" On the deck, Jiang Mingyue looked at a few green sandalwood and said.

"Well, find an island around here and hide it, and come back to get it later. Li Shucheng thought for a while and said. A few sandalwood sticks were too heavy to slow down the ship severely, so they could be hidden on a nearby island.

In Hainan for more than ten years, the two planted a rubber tree, but these food crops did not spread. Because this is Hainan, they eat rice, and the taste of the bread is not good and it is not popular. As for the artichoke that can be cooked? I'm sorry, but we in Hainan can grow vegetables all year round. Chili peppers, is such a spicy thing eaten by people?

After harvesting the rubber resin, Li Shucheng studied for a long time before he came up with rubber for horse-drawn carriage tires. Then I studied the valve, valve core, and pump, and I went down a set, although I had seen it in my previous life, but it took two or three years to procrastinate.

After that, Li Shucheng taught the locals to make human-powered two-wheeled vehicles, and the locals felt that it was too easy to use after using them. In this way, after Li Shucheng and the two leave, they will take the initiative to take care of this rubber forest.

Outside Xianghai Village in Dengzhou, a boat came on this day, the villagers were watching, and two Taoist priests, a man and a woman, came down from the boat, only to see the male Taoist priest throwing the green handle and dusting, and said to him: "Amitayus longevity! My brother and sister have returned to Middle-earth thousands of miles away, and they want to rest in your village, I wonder if they can?"

"Ahh

"Will they catch ghosts?"

......

A group of villagers chattered and chattered until an old man with gray hair and crutches arrived, and the crowd was quiet.

"Amitayus longevity! "Canghai Dao people are guilty again.

"Where did the Taoist priest come from?" the old man asked.

"From the East. Canghai Daoren replied.

"How far is the East?" asked the old man again.

"Thousands of miles away. Canghai Dao said.

"Thousands of miles away, is it Penglai Immortal Mountain?" said the old man in surprise. I don't know how far away from the sea, there is a Penglai Immortal Mountain, this legend is widely spread, and the rural people also know it.

"There is no Penglai Xianshan overseas. The Canghai Daoist shook his head and said, "Thousands of miles away, there are two connected continents, which are even larger than the Great Yuan Dynasty. The people on the northern continent hunt for a living, forming tribes with only language and no writing. On the southern continent, although there is a dynasty, but the civilization is backward, is this an immortal mountain?"

"I didn't expect the legend of Xianshan to be a fabrication. The old man shook his head and sighed.

After discussing with the village elder and others, for the sake of the silver, the village contacted the Canghai Dao people behind the village to buy a hill to build a Taoist temple.

There was a salary for the work, and the villagers quickly helped to repair the Taoist temple. Of course, the reason why they are so active is because the Canghai Dao people and the Mingyue Dao people can heal diseases. Leave the two of them behind, and the villagers won't have to suffer when they get sick in the future.

After moving the things on the ship and tidying them up, Canghai sighed, "We'll live here for the time being." ”

"Why do you want to pretend to be a Taoist priest?" Mingyue Daoist asked, "Also, isn't it good to be in Suzhou? Although the house at home has collapsed, why don't you just build it again?" After living in Suzhou for so many years, there are too many sweet memories there, and she is a little reluctant not to go back now.

The two went north to the sea off the mouth of the Yangtze River, stopped the boat and returned to Suzhou to see. The house where I have lived for decades has become a ruin, and I don't know if it is because no one has lived in it for a long time, decayed and collapsed, or it has been destroyed by man. The silver that the two of them are using now was taken out of the secret room of their home in Suzhou.

"Although the Daomen was suppressed, even, the Quanzhen Sect, the largest sect in the world, was scattered. However, it is still easier to act as a Taoist priest than ordinary people. Li Shucheng said, "Otherwise, pretending to be a monk? Hehe, I don't care, but if you pretend to be a nun, it doesn't look good with a big bald head." "As for not living in Suzhou, this will be the base camp of the anti-king Zhang Shicheng in the future, and Li Shucheng doesn't want to stay here.

The next day, Li Shucheng continued to gather people in the village.

"I said, Master Canghai, how could you buy such a large piece of barren slope, it turned out that you were going to open up wasteland and farm land. Feng San said, "It's just that the harvest of crops on the slopes is not good." "Feng San's name is Feng San, and the Great Yuan Dynasty stipulated that Han civilians were not allowed to take names, so they could only be called according to the ranking numbers of their peers. For example, a child named Feng Siliu in the village is the forty-sixth boy of Feng San's grandchildren.

It was precisely because the Dayuan court oppressed the Han people too much, so after the Red Turban Army revolted, it was destroyed and devastated, fighting from the south to the north, consuming the last elite of the Dayuan army, and finally letting Zhu Yuanzhang pick up a bargain.

Although the Red Turban Army failed, the Yuan court almost lost control of the south. Before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he mainly dealt with the anti-king Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng like him.

"Poor Dao knows. Li Shucheng said, "However, the poor road is planted with crops brought from overseas, and the slopes can also be planted." Besides, the poor road intends to change the barren slope into flat land. ”

Well, as long as you have a salary, you can do whatever you want. Li Shucheng commanded the barren slopes to be dug into terraces. The children in the village also mobilized themselves, cutting hay and scooping up dead leaves and piling them up for manure.
