Chapter 167: Helping Others
Hearing this, Liu Laodao turned around suddenly, and the spiritual power of the Void Realm cultivated for more than a month was infused into the meridians of the whole body-in an instant, his hair was all open, and the sleeves of his robe moved without wind: "Brother Xin, but you have killed the door?!"
But Li Yunxin smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be so cruel, you are a guest from afar." ”
He stood up and patted Liu Laodao's shoulder, and Liu Laodao's whole body spiritual power was calmed down by him. The old Taoist priest was slightly surprised: "Brother Xin, you-"
The spiritual power is improved and drummed up, but it can't be said to be accepted, it always needs to be slowly calmed down. Li Yunxin, who practiced martial arts in the previous world, slowly regained his breath after boxing, and he was also particular.
But now Li Yunxin only took a beat and put it away for him-Liu Laodao was shocked and then rejoiced: "Brother Xin, you have improved again!"
Li Yunxin couldn't help laughing: "What is diligence, say it like a beginner." This mantis kiss body is a natural transformation realm demon, and it will slowly increase its aura without much willingness—just slowly. What's more, this is the time of year......"
He didn't care at all about the monks he noticed and mingled in the crowd, but slowly walked out of the shed, squinting his eyes into the sky and into the distance.
Then he said leisurely, "It's time for the bean seed." ”
Liu Laodao sighed a little dazedly, not knowing why he suddenly said this question.
But Li Yunxin stood outside the shed for a while, and patted the folding fan: "Let's go." Since there's an eyesore here, let's go out of the city and take a look. ”
After saying this, his body flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in a deserted ruin outside the shed. One more step, and it's a few feet away. Liu Laodao didn't know why, but he knew that Brother Xin would definitely not just look at the scenery. I looked at the busy crowd behind me、Gritted his teeth and used his magic power to follow。
The two of them quickly left the city—and sure enough, there were one or two stalking behind them.
It was the afternoon when the sun was blazing, and the sun was burning the roads. They walked a smooth official road - by the standards of the age - but it was still dusty. The road surface is not asphalt, but gravel and sand, which will be muddy when it rains.
Li Yunxin walked along. While holding a fan and dotting the road, the fields in the distance, and the burned and bald mountains in the distance: "It's May, it's time to plant beans - you know what beans are planted, right?"
As a result, Liu Laodao's old face turned red: "This ...... I didn't produce before......"
"Hmm. That's not unusual. Li Yunxin said, "There are three kinds of beans near Weicheng - hemp beans, white beans, and soybeans. It is difficult to cook hemp beans, and they are mainly used to produce oil. White beans are not used to eat, they are used to make dyes. Soybeans are common, but farmers grow the least. ”
After only saying these few words, Liu Laodao was stunned: "Why does Brother Xin care about this?"
Li Yunxin smiled slightly: "It's not idle. It's useful - you see if there's anyone behind you. ”
Liu Laodao turned his head and glanced at it: "Two people." It's all normal...... Hey. I also sent people to do stalking in the early years. But these two ...... swaggered and stared straight at us, but he didn't shy away from it at all. ”
"It's understandable that 'artists are bold'. Li Yunxin shook his head, "These people look like they are artistic conceptions, and even have the realm of virtual realm cultivation, and I look like monks who are serious about the eight classics." That Yue Yunzi's energy is not small - he can mobilize so many people in private. The artistic conception of the virtual realm is also a role in the world, a city and a place. At this time, they are called to do their work, to disguise themselves and keep an eye on them--the arrogance in my heart cannot be suppressed. It is human nature that low-ranking monks are more like people. ”
"But when it comes to this bean seed, do you know what it means, Lao Liu?"
His topics often change abruptly, and Liu Laodao was not able to adapt to it in the early days. However, by this time I had already gotten used to it. Leaving the two people behind at the moment, he naturally picked up the words: "This ...... The people live on food, and these are just ...... Non-staple food?"
Li Yunxin smiled as he walked: "Look. I was right. You really have a middle-class standard of living in Weicheng -- you have a livelihood, you have real estate, you eat rice polished rice for two meals a day, and you have to eat meat and drink alcohol from time to time. What day are you...... Wealthy landlords in remote areas may not be comparable. ”
"But after all, Weicheng is a prosperous place...... Ay. You were in Nanshan in those days, you should know what your one ate, right?"
Liu Laodao blushed slightly, but did not deny it: "Brother Xin, when you say this, it is indeed ...... She eats a lot of sweet potatoes. ”
"I'm glad you have sweet potatoes here, and they're very productive. Li Yunxin sighed. "Even so, there are still a lot of people who don't have enough to eat. Look at the long stretches of good fields outside the city -- not a single acre belongs to the peasants. All that really belonged to them was a few corners of barren land. They depend on the land for food. ”
Then they also grew grain and beans on these lands for several big families in the city. You look to the west, and there's a field -- bean seedlings will be planted in a few days. Hemp beans are pressed for oil. The dregs were paid to those tenants. The white beans were sent to Zhuangzi near Jinghua to raise the color - Daqing is still white. ”
"These things...... It's what you're talking about. The staple food we usually eat is the best staple food for those tenants. ”
Liu Laodao was dumbfounded when he heard this: "This ...... Are these people really like this?"
"Do you think they are bitter? It's good, it's in Weicheng, it's near Weicheng -- the first city in Qingguo. More remote than you can imagine, but I can imagine. Unconsciously, Li Yunxin had already walked a long way along the road with him, and the Weicheng behind him was about to turn into a cyan shadow. "But I don't blame you. Even when I was ...... Well, in other places, where you say that there are officials with a of 2,000 dollars a month -- an income of two taels of silver, and there will be a large number of people who don't know the world -- how can someone have such a low income -- but they don't know that the city or region they live in is not representative of the whole world. ”
Li Yunxin talked about sex and talked endlessly. But Liu Laodao was dumbfounded when he heard it. One is because he doesn't know what his brother cares about - he doesn't look like a person who worries about the country and the people. The second is to sigh...... Brother Xin really knows how to understand these with his heart, and he is so detailed. He's a fairy-like figure. I'm not afraid of insulting my identity.
After Li Yunxin paused, and also turned his head to glance behind him, Liu Laodao had no time to ask: "What Brother Xin said...... I didn't know it before. It's a pity that characters like you know better than me. It's just that...... What are you going to do? Brother Xin went to Yu Mansion before, and he planned to ...... Do you want some favor for those people?"
"Thinking too much. I can't control them -- I don't wade into these troubled waters since ancient times, so I don't have a good end for changing the law. Besides, I'm talking about this. It's not because of any folk suffering - just to make you understand the importance of bean seeds. ”
Li Yunxin stopped. They had turned a fork in the road before, and now they could barely see the tall walls of Weicheng. To the west, however, there are faint outlines of villages, but the houses are low and far from pretty.
That's because after that village is Mt. Nohara.
Ling Kongzi and Bai Yunxin fought, and a wild plain mountain wash was all burned. Although now the grass sprouts have reappeared on the mountain. However, it takes a decade or decades for trees to grow again.
And without the trees - almost all the birds and animals in the mountain were killed and killed, and probably in the next ten years, this mountain will be a barren mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, next to the village, there are large fields. There are some unknown crops growing in the fields, but they are far less vast and abundant than the fertile fields near Weicheng.
Li Yunxin stopped at this ridge with Liu Laodao. There was a canal under their feet, which was shallow. The ditch is mostly silt, with only a pitiful muddy puddle. The grass beside the canal was also listless and wilting, and the leaves were drooping.
Li Yunxin used a folding fan to draw into the distance and gathered these fields: "These fields." Now it grows with Artemisia annua. You see, it's withered. After a few days, a fire was lit and all the artemisia was burned, and then the ploughing began. After ploughing for three or four days...... Guess what?"
Liu Laodao interface: "Sow bean seeds." ”
"Hmm. Sowing bean seeds. Li Yunxin sighed, "But we still have to wait for the time." If a heavy rain can flood the land, it means that nine times out of ten it will be a good year. Especially this year—"
"The forest was burned. They can't pick wild vegetables, they can't catch wild meat. There is no way to chop firewood and go to Weicheng to sell firewood - if you don't want to starve to death, you can only rely on this bean seed. ”
"You also saw the irrigation canal. It's all like this - it's the limit of what can be done in the village. The government also builds water conservancy, but where is it? It is in the fields of those wealthy families outside Weicheng. ”
"Say one thing, don't you say it's funny-" Li Yunxin squinted his eyes and looked at the small village in the distance, "Weicheng is close to Weishui. There is also a cave garden by the Weishui. This field, these fields, is only a dozen miles away from Weishui. But...... Lack of water. ”
"Because the field canal is the field of a wealthy family. They opened the source of water for irrigation, so that this side could receive a little water from the upstream. In fact, is there a shortage of water in Weishui? Why don't you get more water? The family said that they were afraid that more water would flood and damage the seedlings. Actually, these people are fed on their fields, and who has the heart to take care of their fields and covet those dregs and bean cakes?"
Liu Laodao listened to his words before, but he had a general mind and sighed with emotion, "How can you know this?" At this time, although this feeling is even stronger, at the same time, another emotion arises spontaneously.
It's not easy for these people to live properly.
Seeing him looking at himself so directly, Li Yunxin spread his hands and shook his head slightly: "How can you be surprised that I know so much - just surprised." There are only a few people in Weicheng who can know so much and want to know so much. But me. I used to read a lot of books and read a lot of things. ”
"So these farmers can't be counted on irrigation canals. ”
"I can't count on it in previous years, the harvest will not be good, but there are still mountains. Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain. Wild vegetables and game always fill the stomach. ”
"And this Qingguo...... In the interior. It stands to reason that such a large continent, alas. Such a big ...... When I arrived in this place in Qingguo, it should be quite arid. But just by relying on the criss-crossing inland water system, and-" Li Yunxin pointed to himself, "Spirits and demons like me, who claim to be dragon kings everywhere, have survived vigorously, and there will even be a few fish and rice towns!"
"So, Lao Liu. In such a place, the climate is not very good, and precipitation is not frequent...... What do you think is the fate of those peasant households and tens of thousands of people now?"
Liu Laodao finally understood what Li Yunxin was going to say.
A solemn feeling of admiration arose spontaneously, and he took a deep breath: "Dragon King...... It's raining!"
Li Yunxin was silent for a while and smiled. Looking in the direction of Weishui: "Yes." Count on me...... Weishui Dragon King. ”
"Especially these days, especially these days. ”
"So that's why there are more than a dozen Dragon King Temples near Weicheng. Because this is inland, it is always relatively arid. People eat from heaven and rain - they don't worship the dragon king. ”
"And this month...... I didn't dare show my face. That Dongting Jun can't get out of Dongting. And then you realize? It's late spring and early summer, but it's not raining a single bit. This is a normal inland climate with no spirits and demons precipitation. ”
"So wait for this yellow artemisia to burn...... Farmers wait for the beans to be planted...... Ahh
Li Yunxin smiled: "It's not just this time. Bean seeds want rain, don't you want it at another time......? In fact, it is quite a promising career. It's just that I don't know how many places I can be covered by clouds and rain. ”
Liu Laodao rubbed his hands happily and sighed: "Ah, ah, it's a good thing after all...... How can it be so rapid these days!"
"The realm is one thing, but the actual combat is another. Li Yunxin turned around, and after a short look, he saw the monk standing in a forest in the distance, and unceremoniously nodded with the folding fan in his hand, "For example, those two fools over there." Since you are here to do this kind of thing, you have to do it thoroughly. Standing behind a tree now - I feel unseemly to really curl up and hide somewhere. But standing on the road with a big grin will be found by us - is swaying between **** and the archway, I saw it, and I also felt very distressed. ”
"And my Shenlong Sect is based on the joy of helping others - so if you can help, you still have to help. ”
Hearing his words, Liu Laodao was about to volunteer, but suddenly lost the trace of Li Yunxin around him!
The next moment, I saw him suddenly appear in the middle of the forest, beside the two monks!
According to the feelings of ordinary people, the distance between them and the grove was a hundred paces, which was already a long way. But the monks were deaf and clear-sighted, and they could see it as clearly as they could from such a distance. Liu Laodao was going to follow closely, but the next time he saw the situation in the forest......
Immediately froze!
But when he saw that Li Yunxin, the moment he appeared, a divine magic body appeared, his sideburns were like snow, and his antlers were like blood. Grasp one of the monks, who was only half his height at the moment, in his hand. Just one bite......
And he bit off his head!
Open your mouth and bite again...... Half of my body is gone!

I saw a sentence today-
"Now these readers who support the genuine version are all aware of the existence of piracy, but still insist on subscribing", suddenly felt very warm in the chest.
Thank you. (To be continued.) )
