Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Chapter 108 – 【Hegong】

Chapter 108 [River Engineering]

“Work hard so haha!” “Haha!”

“It won’t be cold, hey hey!” “Hoo!”

“In the coming year, there will be water to collect food, yo ho!” “Ho!”

“The fields turned into irrigated fields!” “Irrigated fields!”

“Add clothes to the baby and build a new house!” “Build a new house!”

“…”

The scene of bustling work extends far from the foot of the mountain along a canal that is being excavated.

The chant was loud, the rhythm was slow, but the tone was high-pitched, passionate, and with some local accents. The chant was led by a small group of people, and then everyone repeated the accent while exerting force with their hands.

This is the boundary of Lizhou. After passing Lizhou, it is Yuzhou where Fang Chang is going.

The official road meanders through this mountain range, and after turning a bend, Fang Chang discovered the scene in the distance. He stopped the elk demon under his crotch, and stopped to look at the scene.

The elk demon didn’t understand the scene at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and was very dazed, but it stopped obediently on the side of the mountain road.

There is a big river passing through Lizhou, but the drought and flood are still uncertain here. Therefore, in recent decades, every slack season, the government will organize the common people to work on the river and build water conservancy.

After the river canal was dug, the color of fresh soil was revealed, just like the scars of the earth.

From Fang Chang’s point of view, in the long river, the laborers are as small as ants, but he is a practitioner, his eyesight can reach far, and he can see every detail clearly.

The current temperature is already a little low. Fortunately, the agricultural slack has just arrived, and the ground is not completely frozen, so it is easy to dig.

The wind in the wilderness is very cold, but the heavy physical labor makes people steam on their heads, and they must be sweating profusely.

They wielded shovels, pushed crude carts, used baskets, and followed chant, digging and leveling in the canal, and transported the excavated soil to both sides to pile up embankments.

The river workers are bitter, and the river workers are tired.

In addition to the orders of the government organization, it is the people’s simplicity and yearning for a better life that support their work.

Fortunately, it is not the same now as it was in the past. When Lizhou just started to build water conservancy, the common people brought their own food, the tools were not good, and the conditions were even worse.

Nowadays, the river workers not only manage three meals a day, but also have a penny subsidy every day. This is already a huge temptation for the common people. After all, if you save one person’s ration, you can save more food. Time will pass better.

As long as there is food to eat, the strength will never run out, and the common people are very clear about this account.

Fang Chang thought that the Ninghe Mansion at the foot of Yunzhong Mountain should also have this scene.

The Baigou River originated from Yunzhong Mountain. Long, long ago, it flooded every year, making Ninghe Prefecture much poorer than the surrounding prefectures.

With years of uninterrupted water conservancy construction and great efforts to control the Baigou River, it finally turned it from a major hazard to a water source, irrigating tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land in Ninghe Prefecture, and bringing year after year abundant harvests.

In Fang Chang’s eyes, this scene of people being united has a certain momentum.

Unlike the momentum of a city, nor like the momentum of an army, it is more pure and consistent than the former, more lively and vigorous than the latter. This is the momentum that makes people prosper and become the ruler of the world.

Changing the sky and changing the earth is originally a source of great luck for the human race.

Being able to see this scene made Fang Chang feel that he had a more thorough understanding of “potential” and Tao. Unknowingly, his cultivation had increased a bit, but it was only limited by the bottleneck, and there was still no qualitative change.

Patting the elk under him, he said:

“Let’s go.”

“Congratulations to Mr. Fang for improving his cultivation.” The elk demon said half-convincedly, half enviously, and then it continued to spread its hooves and started running.

Fang Chang smiled and didn’t speak.

But in the heart of the elk demon, the awe of Fang Chang is even more firm.

After all, with this cultivator on his back, he just stopped by the side of the road and looked at the crowd in the distance for a while, and his cultivation momentum rose, which brought him a greater sense of coercion.

This change is very natural, making the elk feel that it is even easier to carry people on its back.

…

…

It was daylight, and when they reached the border between Yuzhou and Lizhou, Fang Chang had already ridden the elk demon for three days and three nights.

The fog has not completely dissipated. On a huge rock beside the road on the right, there are two large characters “State Boundary” engraved on it, which is filled with cinnabar and appears red.

This is also a common scene in the world. Many cross-domain locations have lettering or road signs as signs.

On the left and right sides of the word “State Boundary”, “Yuzhou” and “Lizhou” are respectively written, which proves that the front of this place is Yuzhou, and the back is Lizhou that Fang Chang just passed.

Fang Chang jumped off the elk demon’s back, looked at the huge boundary marker, and smiled at the elk demon next to him: “As the saying goes, if you send you off for thousands of miles, you will end up with a farewell. Although you send me off for thousands of miles, you are traveling at a fast speed. , I still want to thank you, and it’s time to part.”

The elk demon bowed his head and said: “That is the honor of the little demon.”

“In this case, you have been carrying me for three days, and I will give you a chance as promised. What you want from me is still the problem of transformation?” Fang Chang asked.

After thinking for a while, Elk Spirit said, “Of course, Mr. Fang, I still want to change form.”

Fang Chang nodded, then circled the elk three times, and said with a smile:

“Okay, from my point of view a few days ago, after you were rejected, you cried very sadly, which proves that your way of thinking is already very human-like. This can be regarded as ‘winning people’s hearts’, and this removes the most difficult part of your transformation. part of the

“So, my advice to you is ‘don’t force it too much, relax’. For the specific reason, you should think about it yourself, and then try to see the effect.”

To Fang Chang’s surprise, the elk in front of him suddenly knelt down as if he had been enlightened, and hit the ground with its antlers and head a few times, which was regarded as a kowtow:

“Thank you for your kindness and kindness, the little demon will never forget it!”

“No, we don’t owe each other, let’s go.” Fang Chang waved his hand, tightened the package, and was about to continue searching for the way. He could notice that the elk’s breath was fluctuating, and it was obvious that it was about to break through.

The elk demon seemed to want to apply to Fang Chang and listen to the teaching again, but after all, he still didn’t take any action. It turned around and walked towards the side of the mountain forest.

Not long after, there were faint thunderclaps in the distant mountains.

It seems to be the astronomical reaction caused by the elk monster suddenly breaking through after hearing the instructions.

Hope he succeeds.

Fang Chang continued on his way.

…

…

Yuzhou is very big, and it is very difficult to find the target. Fortunately, Fang Chang has a way. He wanders around in several prefectures and cities under the rule of Yuzhou. Everywhere he goes, the standard procedure is the same.

Relying on his own hearing ability, Fang Chang is completely different from ordinary people. Whenever he goes to a place, he will look for local famous food, and he will order some food and drinks in hotels or street stalls.

Then, while enjoying the food slowly, listen to the diners around you, and even the conversations of people on the streets near and far, from morning to night to analyze the information.

The only shortcoming is that the discourses that come one after another are too messy and disorderly, and most of them don’t have much nutrition.

On this day, Fang Chang was staying in a restaurant in Yanzheng Mansion and ordered a few side dishes.

Thank you Mathematics Ang, Red Bowknot, octocat, Zhang Bencong for your rewards.
