With the help of his mental method, Shen Yun changed his daily sword practice plan: 500 sword practices every morning and evening. After each exercise, follow up on the mental method to quickly recover the body.

Very interesting. Originally, he practiced the Mind Method seven times a day and reached the upper limit. As a result, after such adjustments, he found that he could practice the Mind Method five times in the morning and evening.

At present, the homework of the pharmacy is still very easy: every two days, only once a lecture, the rest of the time, the disciples can pass the time, and the green grass is the easiest medicinal herb to take care of, there is no one. Basically, after planting, there is nothing else to do except water once every two days, and as for the sword class, it is only the beginning. In addition to receiving the wooden sword and not leaving the sword, Master Yuning has no other requirements at the moment.

Shen Yun estimates that this situation will continue until at least the end of this month. Therefore, he set a daily schedule for himself, and compiled all the things in the shop, such as reading, martial arts, and shop.

In this way, he is busy every day and lives a very fulfilling life.

As for the expenses, he calculated, these days, the cost of going to the treasury to collect tools, seeds, etc., is a large amount, a total of seven taels of silver;

Among the three meals a day, he ate dinner in the shop, and for breakfast and lunch, he bought rice and noodles from the shop, mainly making it himself, and occasionally eating it in the canteen or shop. These days, it's only about thirty dollars. Under such circumstances, his monthly food expenses would not exceed one tael of silver at most.

Other than that, he doesn't seem to have any other expenses.

In terms of income, he can get two taels of silver in the shop every month. This money is enough for his daily expenses. The indeterminate entry is, the task reward. He can only count on this one for his tuition fees for the coming year.

After thinking about it, he said to himself, "I have to clean up the paddy fields." ”

He had already read the two books on paddy field care. Similar to the preparation of dry fields, the preliminary preparation of paddy fields is also indispensable. For example, dredging, strengthening the river base, etc.

No. 10 medicine field has more than one acre of water surface, and dredging alone is a big project.

Now there are no relevant tools to buy in the warehouse. So, Shen Yun went to the shop to look for it.

Yu Tou knew about it and said: "This kind of rough thing, Mr. told me that it was okay, why bother to do it yourself." ”

Shen Yun knew that his ancestors had passed down a pond and had been feeding water fish for several generations, and he must be familiar with such a job as dredging. It's just that the pharmacy has a rule that the care of the medicine field is not allowed to fake others. Yes, he smiled: "The rules of the pharmacy cannot be violated. This is the first time I've done this kind of work, and I'm tired of pointing me out a thing or two. ”

Yu Tou couldn't: "Sir is always so polite." ”

According to his proposal, Shen Yun picked a good autumn weather and began the first step of dredging: going into the water to check the situation at the bottom of the river.

According to what is written in the book and the experience of Yu Tou, while checking the situation, he also has to selectively dig up some silt for sample analysis and analysis.

Yuan Feng and a few of them saw the movement here, and ran over to ask:

"Hey, what is this?"

"Digging the river mud to fertilize the fields?"

"Is that going to happen?"

......

Shen Yun was truthful: "My medicine field is mainly paddy field. In the future, I will definitely grow some aquatic medicinal herbs. I found some books, followed what was written, and made some preparations for maintenance. ”

"Makes sense. Yuan Feng stretched out his thumb and praised, "This is called taking precautions!" After that, he turned back to the others and proposed, "Anyway, it's fine, why don't we give Brother Shen Xian a hand together." After getting acquainted, Shen Yun made teeth with them and was called brothers. Shen Yun's age was the youngest among the few, so he changed from "Brother Shen" to "Brother Shen Xian".

"Okay. Chen Long and the others happily responded, tucked the feet of their robes into their belts, took off their shoes, rolled up their sleeves, and trouser legs, and prepared to go into the water.

"Thank you. Shen Yun hurriedly stopped, "Today, I'm going into the water to investigate, and I don't need too many people." If we find out the situation today, we will start dredging tomorrow afternoon. ”

When Yuan Feng heard this, he glanced at Yu Tou, who was standing next to him, and said with a smile: "That is the case, we will come over tomorrow afternoon to help." ”

"Okay. Shen Yun didn't say anything polite to them, and after finishing speaking, he continued to go into the water to do things.

Yuan Feng looked at the riverbank for a while, and found that it really couldn't help much, so he said something to Shen Yun, and went back together.

Shen Yun first explored and took samples along the river base, and then went to the middle. Soon, he discovered that his paddy field was actually a raw field mentioned in the book, that is, it was a wild field circled from the river, which had never been sorted out, maintained, or planted with medicinal herbs before.

In a field like this, the underwater conditions are very complicated, and the first maintenance is tantamount to clearing the wasteland.

Fortunately, he had read the book beforehand, and Yu Tou had also told him a lot of experience, so he was fully prepared. Otherwise, there is a good chance that he will not be able to cope. This was also the main reason why he didn't let Yuan Feng and them help.

By the river, the water was shallow, and the deepest part of the water overflowed his chest. Carrying a shovel, he carefully stepped on the bottom of the river and walked slowly. Every ten steps, dig up a small lump of river mud and look at it carefully.

Luck was not bad. Judging from the more than 20 lumps of river mud that have been dug up so far, the quality of his paddy field is a good product.

The paddy fields on both sides of No. 10 are ownerless for the time being, so when Shen Yun touches the edge of those two paddy fields, someone will jump out to look for trouble. Even in order to find out the situation at the bottom of the river more clearly, he deliberately crossed the line a little.

In this way, he soaked in the paddy field for almost a morning. The exploration is also nearing completion. Yu Tou wanted to go back to the shop to cook, and seeing that he was almost done, he greeted him on the shore: "Sir, stay and eat in the shop." With that, he went first.

Shen Yun answered, walked back and forth in the paddy field, and touched the edge of No. 11 next to him.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong under his feet - he stepped on an angular, hard object!

Huh, what is it?

He took a deep breath, held his breath, and plunged headlong into the water.

Shen Yun's water properties are very good, he can hold his breath for more than ten breaths under the water without saying anything, and he can still open his eyes.

He saw a small red wooden horn peeking out of the black mud.

It looks like a wooden box.

Shen Yun squatted down and reached out to cut through the surrounding mud.

Soon, he dug out a small red box the size of a palm.

It's familiar!

He couldn't believe his eyes—although the patterns on the surface of the small box were filled with mud, it was not difficult to see that it was made of mahogany, and the patterns on it were exactly the same as the one that Master had passed on to him!

It can be said that this small box is a miniature version of the one he has at hand!

At this point, the limit of breath-holding has arrived. Shen Yun stood up with a "whew", rushed out of the water, and breathed in the fresh air.

My heart is "knocking".

Who is this little box? How could it be thrown here?, he shook his head vigorously, trying to calm himself down.

Whatever, dig it out first.

Having made up his mind, he held his breath again and leaned into the water.

As a result, he sadly found that the small wooden box that had been dug out of the mud was buried again. Even the little horn it showed became smaller.

Shen Yun had seen the phantom array, and the first word that came to his mind was this word.

In that case, it means that something could happen.

So, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly started to dig the surrounding mud again.

Thankfully, he had dug up the little wooden box again.

However, he seemed to be rejoicing a little too soon. The small wooden box looks small, but it is as heavy as a thousand pounds!

Shen Yun exerted his strength to feed, but he couldn't move it.

What to do?

Seeing that he was about to reach the limit of his breath-holding, next time, the small wooden box might be buried deeper, or even completely sink into the mud, and he will never be found again.

Shen Yun stared at him anxiously.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the lock, which was much larger than a fingernail.

It was exactly the same as the lock on the mahogany box in his hand, and it was also a miniature version.

If you can't hold the box, you have to see what's in it, right?" he said to himself helplessly.

I don't know what kind of formation is distributed around the small wooden box. Shen Yun was bold, and cautiously reached out to touch the lock.

Well, I found it, and in the same place, there was a small protrusion.

Shen Yun frowned, and said in his heart: Fight!

Decisively press down on the small protrusions.

The small wooden box opened silently.

Shen Yun could see clearly, there was a small brass stick carved all over the body. Not much thicker than his thumb, two inches long.

Other than that, there was nothing in the box.

Without further hesitation, he grabbed the brass stick firmly and rushed out of the water.

"Whew-huh-", I really can't hold it anymore!

Shen Yun opened his mouth wide and breathed desperately.

This time, he held it for too long, and it took a while for him to recover.

I don't know what happened to the little wooden box? Shen Yun didn't give up, held his breath for the third time, and leaned into the water.

Sure enough, as he expected, the small wooden box disappeared completely!

Shen Yun shoveled several times in place with a shovel, but he couldn't find it.

That's it. Shen Yun was overjoyed, clutched the small copper stick, and returned to the shore.

The appearance of the small wooden box is too bizarre, and it is very likely that it is the object of the Celestial God Sect. Therefore, Shen Yun did not dare to take a closer look at the small copper stick on the shore.

As if nothing had happened, he unhurriedly packed up and went back to his room.

After closing the door and window, he spread out his left hand and picked up a small brass stick to examine it carefully.

Apparently the small box is well sealed. Not only did the small copper stick not produce patina, but there was not a trace of mud and sand around it.

It is solid, the whole body is generally thick, and it is carved with auspicious clouds of different shapes.

In addition, one end is pierced with a small hole, and the other end has an auspicious cloud pattern that is slightly more prominent than the others.

In addition, Shen Yun looked at it over and over in his hand for a long time, and found nothing else.

What is this thing and what is it for?

Shen Yun put it on his chest and gestured for a moment, and said in his heart: It's quite beautiful, it looks like a copper pendant.

With a thought, he pulled out a thin thread from his sewing kit, braided a sturdy string, threaded it through a small hole in the small copper stick, and put it around his neck.

No matter what it is, it must have something to do with the Heavenly God Sect. So, he decided to hang it around his neck for the time being and hide it close to him.
