Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 140
During the night, Youshen raised his golden whip and whipped the black fish essence three times, and then asked, "I told you before that the Shangxian has no intention of exhausting the water, yet you still dare to use your words to bully the Shangxian."

Shi Zhongkui originally thought that there was nothing wrong with the Black Fish Essence.

Even thought she was kind.

After all, he had just been whipped, and found that the person he was facing was irresistible. At this time, he dared to speak out for the creatures in the water, so he was considered a responsible person.

But as soon as Ye Youshen said these words, Shi Zhongkui immediately understood why many Taoists and practitioners said that spirits and ghosts were cunning and untrustworthy.

With a sneer, he said, with the merit of offering sacrifices, the power of exorcising the gods is still there.

Using the talisman technique obtained from the Heavenly Court, a spirit arresting talisman was inserted into the soul of the black fish spirit.

Completely controlled the fish demon.

Feeling that the soul was being controlled by someone, the black fish spirit suddenly felt like dying.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui still has a bottom line.

"I don't want you to hurt the sky, and I don't want you to do things that go against the way of heaven. But from now on, you must obey all my orders. Otherwise, you will be destroyed physically and spiritually, and you will die under the impact of five thunders."

After finishing speaking, dozens of thunder talismans appeared out of thin air, emitting bursts of thunder light.

Hei Yujing was so frightened that he almost shuddered.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui didn't want to waste the Thunder Talisman he drew every day.

It just attracted but didn't send out, and it was quickly taken back to the space farm.

"The villain obeys orders, and the villain obeys orders."

I thought that I would definitely be hit by a thunderous black fish monster, so how could I dare to bargain at this moment.

And Shi Zhongkui has already made it very clear that she doesn't need to do things that are harmful to nature and against the law of heaven, which means that her practice will not be broken.

It's the best ending.

Shi Zhongkui snorted, and deliberately said, "If you plan to the end, you will suffer instead."

Immediately, the black fish spirit regretted it again.

Afterwards, Shi Zhongkui activated the technique of expelling gods again, and recruited Liu Yu'er.

"What is the master's order?"

Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "Yu'er, from now on, the White Jade King will be at your disposal, so that you won't have to guard the rice fields day and night, and you won't even have time to rest and practice."

Afterwards, a spell that could activate the spirit arresting talisman was directly passed into Liu Yu'er's soul.

Feeling the spell, Liu Yu'er immediately understood that he had this guarantee, as long as the black fish monster didn't want to be destroyed, he had to be obedient.

He jumped out of the lake happily, saying "Master Xie" repeatedly.

Shi Zhongkui laughed, and after thinking for a while, he took out a Foundation Establishment Pill from the space, "My lord, I will be rewarded for my achievements, and punished for my mistakes.

From now on, if you have enough merits, I will not hesitate to reward you with a Foundation Establishment Pill, sir, do you understand? "

Liu Yu'er is just overjoyed, after all she has only been enlightened for more than a year.

But the black fish spirit was envious to death.

If I could have a foundation building pill back then, I would have to go through so many disasters to break through from the late stage of Qi training to the foundation building stage.

And since the owner is Xingjun descending to earth, it means that he will definitely practice the pills that can help break through to the middle stage of Jindan, or even Nascent Soul.

If it was before, the Black Fish Essence might still have the idea to unite with other monsters and force Shi Zhongkui to make alchemy for him.

But now that his life is being held in his hands, since the master took out the Foundation Establishment Pill, does that mean that it was for him to see on purpose?

Hei Yujing quickly understood that if he could also make contributions, there would be no need to calculate so much.

At the same time, regarding the matter of obeying Liu Yu'er's orders, the resistance in his heart became much weaker.

And he also decided to make friends with Liu Yu'er.
-
Once the black fish spirit is dealt with, no one will jump out to make trouble, and Shi Zhongkui has more confidence in the land reclamation.

And thinking that he still has to dredge the river, he couldn't help asking the black fish spirit, "Can you become as big as Liu Yu'er with your body shape?"

The black fish spirit instantly understood that there must be something to tell him.

After shaking his body a few times, he quickly changed from a 7-meter giant fish to a palm-length black fish smaller than a willow fish.

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed immediately, and then thought that the black fish had a lot of food.

"You follow Liu Yuer first, and you can prey on the miscellaneous fish, water snakes, and weasels in the rice fields of Wanping and Daxing. But after you are full, you must not kill indiscriminately, do you understand?"

"Master, don't worry, the little one hasn't killed indiscriminately since he opened his spiritual wisdom. And the lake where the villain lives is not biased towards the villain's fellow clan just because of the villain's existence."

"Very good", Shi Zhongkui nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that you also understand the principle of not going too far in everything. When the day comes, you will be rewarded for your merit."

"Thank you, master, thank you, master."

After Hei Yujing finished speaking, thinking that Liu Yu'er already had a surname, she couldn't help begging, "Please give me a name from the master."

If this kind of request is not granted, it will appear too unreasonable.

And giving her a name is also an acknowledgment that she is her own.

After thinking about it, this place will be the Changgou Wetland in the future, so I suddenly have an idea.

"Your name is Baiyu, but you have a black body, so I will give you a common surname, often Chang, okay?"

"Master Xie, the younger one is called Chang Baiyu."

"Congratulations, Sister Chang." Liu Yu'er was kind-hearted, and directly recognized Chang Baiyu as her sister.

"My sister is polite, I will ask my sister to teach me more in the future, lest my sister don't understand the rules and offend the master."

Liu Yuer directly nodded in agreement, but Shi Zhongkui rolled his eyes in his heart.

With Liu Yu'er's stupid appearance, she didn't even know she was sold.

However, it's not a bad thing to let her suffer a little bit.
-
Asking Liu Yu'er and Chang Baiyu to guard the paddy field, Shi Zhongkui never thought of burning this piece of countless reeds and turning it into a paddy field in the lake.

To put it bluntly, he is also a selfish person.

Contributing meritorious deeds must be done step by step. It is really cool to go up three levels in a row, but after thinking about it, it is not as safe as going up one level at a time.

Early the next morning, Xue Jinping received Shi Zhongkui's order to return to the camp with a dozen of his own soldiers, and mobilized the remaining 2700 people to bring tools and enough food and grass for a month to the camp in Changgou Wetland. .

With people and enough food to eat, the project officially started.

Moreover, it is clear that one catty of grain is distributed to each person every day, but in fact, the steamed buns that can be obtained every day are definitely more than one and a half catties.

There are also 50 people who have fishing experience and go fishing in the lake specifically.

Although there are only two to three hundred catties of fish caught every day, they can be boiled into soup and served with wild vegetables and enough salt for dinner. For these field soldiers who can’t eat meat a few times a year, that’s a big meal. .

The enthusiasm of the three thousand field soldiers was immediately mobilized.

The next day, Xue Biao walked into Shi Zhongkui's tent with the ledger in his arms.

"My lord, this is yesterday's account book."

Shi Zhongkui opened it for a few glances, and couldn't help laughing.

With the signatures of big and small officials in the camp, including Xue Jinping, he said that the camp only consumes 3 catties of grain every day, and even if the censor comes, don't even think about making trouble for him.

The actual consumption of 4500 catties is equivalent to 37.5 shi of grain, which is only 1125 shi in a month.

There is no need to worry about the shortage of food, but now Shi Zhongkui is worried about the progress.

And because of the wheat harvest, I can no longer mobilize more soldiers from the garrison camp.

However, it is not a problem to summon the family members of the Tuntian soldiers.

"If the number of people doubles, how many days will it take to complete the entire project?"

Xue Biao did the math and said, "The monthly project for 3000 people, and 9 people, should be shortened to half a month."

Shi Zhongkui understood Xue Biao's scruples, after all, the field soldiers had enough tools and experience in land reclamation.

If it were their family members, two would be worth one, which would be acceptable.

Moreover, digging ditches is hard work. Even if there is a catty and a half catty of grain and fish soup to drink every day, once the construction deadline is met, someone will inevitably be unable to carry it.

Switching to other officials may not care whether these people fall ill, but they themselves will not.

After all, they will need to dredge the river later, and treating these 3000 people kindly at this time is also for the future.

"Go and call the officials Xue Jinping."

Xue Biao nodded hurriedly.

Soon, Xue Jinping took the task of transporting grain and grass and buying items for sacrifices, and summoned [-] strong laborers from the soldiers' homes or from the same village.

After these people brought in grain and grass, Shi Zhongkui once again summoned officials of all sizes to enter his tent.

Afterwards, three animals, six animals, joss sticks, paper money, etc. were prepared, and Shi Zhongkui, in front of 9000 people, performed a sacrificial sacrifice by the largest lake to reassure the army.

This move seemed useless, but it really reassured the 9 soldiers.

When Lu Qianminzhuang heard the promise to eat a catty of grain every day and take away a catty, it was called a hard work when working.

And because Shi Zhongkui was not short of food for 3 soldiers and 6 soldiers' families when digging the fish canal before, so no one of these people doubted Shi Zhongkui's words.

Not to mention that even if Shi Zhongkui broke his promise, they had to work honestly.

It's a pity that Shi Zhongkui only let them do it for three days.

Then the field soldiers who had been on a half-rest for the past three days continued to work for three days, and were replaced by a new batch of young and strong food transporters.

Now everyone understands that Shi Zhongkui is caring for everyone, and the family members are not at a disadvantage.

Also because of this, there is no need to worry about delaying wheat.

It can also be used to ease the food shortage at home before the wheat harvest.

In addition, in the past few days, I have not encountered strange things that cannot be explained a hundred years ago.

Morale suddenly soared.

It took this group of people two days to harvest the wheat when they went home, and they were called up again to the Changgou Wetland Camp in the name of transportation.

After two days of rest and one day of rotation, I finally dug into the mountain.

"My lord, is there really a spring here?"

Shi Zhongkui didn't care about Xue Jinping's thirty or so officials, big and small, pointing to a three-meter-high cliff and said, "Order people to take dry firewood on the spot, pile it up here and set it on fire."

In ancient times, the simplest and most common way to excavate rocks was to burn them, and then use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to cool down by splashing water.

Otherwise, if you want to dig rocks, you can't do it just by relying on a large number of people.

After all, the place is only that big, and there may be dozens of people who can dig rocks with tools.

I can't get up fast.

The principle that fire and water can be used to cut stones is common to the officials in the Tuntian camp, so they can do it very quickly.

Even when the fire was burning, the experienced officials had already ordered people to use tools and local materials to build pump trucks.

This thing is just a large syringe.

When five or six people push and pull the rod at the same time, the water column can fly 20 meters.

Sprayed by more than a dozen water jets, the reddish rock mass that has been roasted soon made cracking and cracking sounds.

Then with a 'bang', large, large rocks fell, revealing a crack that was one meter long and half a meter wide.

Just when everyone thought it had no effect, there was a sudden whimpering sound from the crack.

Some timid people who were frightened thought that this was the door to hell, and suddenly panicked.

Shi Zhongkui rolled his eyes.

Here, I just asked the mountain god to block the original three springs, and then combined the water flow of the underground river and spewed out from here.

All of a sudden, the project was shortened by 1 kilometer.

Moreover, there is no need to enter the Changgou Wetland.

In case someone gets overwhelmed, they follow the first three springs and search all the way in, and find the other 11 springs, which ruin their own good deeds.

"quiet."

Shi Zhongkui yelled violently, "I am the number one scholar in the dynasty, and even the leader of the six yuan. I am still standing here, what do you have to be afraid of?"

The ears of all the soldiers were a little buzzed by his deafening 'quiet'.

Hearing him say that he was the number one scholar in the dynasty, the soldiers in the field immediately thought that this is a Wenqu star who descended to earth.

Besides, I have been working for more than ten days before, and I haven't encountered any weird things, and I haven't even seen wild animals, snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Everyone couldn't help thinking that spirits and ghosts probably wouldn't dare to appear in front of the champion.

Seeing that the soldiers were much more stable, Shi Zhongkui felt relieved.

However, he still pulled out the long knife in Xue Jinping's hand with some anxiety.

The aura of luck draws evil-breaking talismans, diamond talismans and armor-breaking talismans on the body of the knife.

Jumping 2 meters high, under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, spiritual energy was injected into the blade of the long knife.

With a violent swing of his hand, he threw the long knife over the crack in the rock 20 meters away.

There was a loud "clang".

Like cutting tofu with a long knife, it goes straight into the rock.

All the soldiers and officials were dumbfounded.

After Shi Zhongkui landed, he was lucky again and easily jumped onto a waterwheel.

"I stand here with my sword today, and I will surely be able to suppress any evil spirits and monsters. If you don't believe me, let me set up a large tent for the Chinese army here for three days."

As soon as the words fell, the water rushing up from the underground river just spewed out.

Thousands of people saw the water, and instantly some people's legs went limp.

Kneeling on the ground and shouting to Shi Zhongkui, "This is really Wenquxing descending to earth, my lord is mighty, my lord is mighty."

With these words, thousands of people couldn't help believing them, and knelt on the ground together to bow down to Shi Zhongkui.

For a moment, countless wishes were gathered on Shi Zhongkui.

And as the water spewed out, the merit bar in the farm space also began to increase by +5 and +5.

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed immediately.

However, he did not absorb the power of the incense, but took out the purple, gold and red gourd from the space through the loose official robe, stretched his hands into the sleeves, and absorbed all the power of the incense.

Seeing the invisible Japanese wandering gods, city gods, Yin soldiers, mountain gods, and lands, they are envious.

Since then, this cliff has been called "Liuyuan Spring" by the local people.

Every year when it comes to the township examination and general examination, many scholars come here to observe and play.

Slowly, not only the gentry invested in the construction of stone pavilions for viewing and resting here, but also the poems and calligraphy of the literati of the past dynasties were gradually left on the surrounding rocks.
