The sword is the devil

Chapter 133 Knowing the way is enlightenment [adding updates for the lord Yu Xiaoyao]

A strange Taoist led his horse and stood under a big locust tree, and bowed back,
"Being poor, I followed the pack of wolves, but I didn't know that there was a Quanzhen expert present here. I feel ashamed and ashamed."

Hou Tiao smiled slightly, "Thank you fellow daoist for protecting my people in Yinling, I just happened to meet at the right time, it's just a coincidence; I'm going back to Xiaoqianbao right now, fellow daoist?"

Shaking his head for Ming Daoren, "During the eventful autumn in Yinling recently, the manpower of your teaching seems to be relatively tight? I'll continue to look around. The wolves here are not the only ones."

Waiting for Tiao to worship again, "So, there are fellow Taoists running around."

Wei Ming got on his horse, "Since you're here, you have to do something. You don't have to talk about serving the people and family, I'm just doing it for my own cultivation."

Go ahead and go.

In the Yinling Wasteland, there are quite a few monks like Weiming Taoist. They are aimless, or seem to be aimless. They carry out their own practice here. Sometimes they hunt and kill the monsters here, and sometimes they reach out to help others The frontier residents here sometimes choose to turn a blind eye, including the monk who carried the lantern back then as one of them.

To these people, Quanzhen Sect's attitude is to let them go, as long as they don't do things that endanger the Yinling Quanzhen Sect's rule, as long as they don't harm the interests of Yinling border residents, they are allowed to go.

Waiting to return from the original road, the team has already started on the road again. Everyone is very excited and working hard to survive the disaster safely; the three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family are a little at a loss, because there are men on the shafts of their own ox carts It doesn't take them a little effort to take the initiative to help, they know exactly what it is for.

After traveling with such a load, he finally returned to Xiaoqianbao at the end of Shenshi, which was a smooth trip to fetch water.

The bullock cart was pulled into the yard, and the tired yaks were unloaded to eat and graze. A large wooden bucket of clear water, with a diameter of half a foot and a capacity of about a foot long, could take half a month if used sparingly.

After Hou Tiao returned to her room, Jiang Linshi followed in with a lot of letters,

"Sir, here is the old picture of the Yinling Mausoleum left by my father..."

Hou Tiao laughed, "How can I use so much, just help me find out the old river channel of Bailian River."

Jiang Lin's hands and feet quickly found him two volumes of picture slips, handed them up, and said:

"Sir, it's been a tiring day, shall we boil some bath water for you?"

Hou Tiao shook his head, "I didn't know it before, but now I know how hard it is to fetch water. How can I be so extravagant?"

But Jiang Lin insisted, "Sir, I don't know, every time we come back from fetching water, we also have to boil water for bathing, which can be regarded as enjoyment after hard work, so we still have to boil water..."

Hou Tiao was taken aback, knowing that even these clean women in Xiaoqianbao usually wiped their bodies with cloth towels, and did not dare to waste water storage, and only once in a while after fetching water came back, and he could not deprive others of their enjoyment no?Still the most basic needs.

"Forget it, it's not good to wash alone, let's wash together."

Jiang Lin blushed, lowered her head in a mosquito voice, "I, I'll go and talk to my sisters, and have a look at them..."

The woman exited the room, and Hou Tiao opened the picture slip. It was a bit old, but it was still clearly visible. It was put together with other picture albums and compared with the two, and quickly figured out what the old river was like.

Flicking his fingers, he fell into deep thought. He has some ideas, but he is not yet mature, and he needs time, which cannot be forced.

Meditation, evening class, and sword practice, when he was sweating profusely, his sister-in-law had already dealt with the trivial matters at home, and they walked in together carrying a large steaming wooden barrel.

Well, we have to practice another group battle tonight, it won't be easy...

...Three days later, Wang Mian and Fang Yazi came to the door, and the three of them left Xiaoqianbao without a trace. One day, the guest returned alone, but his two friends disappeared, mysteriously, and he didn't know what he was up to?
Hou Tiao approached the patriarch of Xiaoqianbao, an old man who looked like a dried orange,

"You are the elder of the Jiang clan? I am Hou Tiao. Brother Yao is not here. I will take care of this place temporarily. Does Elder Jiang have any objections?"

Mr. Jiang grinned and said, "As long as it's a parade in the Yin Ling, we'll go along with you! Waiting for the manpower to keep the seal and the moon, and saved my Xiaoqianbao and the water fortress. The little old man is inexplicably grateful. If you have any requests, just ask order."

Hou Ni nodded, "I came here to see that Xiaoqianbao is having a hard time getting water. If this situation continues, population loss and damage will be inevitable. I can protect you once, but I can't protect you forever. That's the way."

Mr. Jiang's eyes glowed strangely, "Your Excellency is really the Bodhisattva who saves the world! We have lived here, and we have struggled to obtain water for a long time. In the past hundred years since the Bailian River was diverted, the little old man has seen with his own eyes that the population in the castle has withered. Mourning, if this goes on like this, it won't take a few more decades, Xiaoqianbao will definitely become a dead castle, and no one wants to stay there anymore.

But we have also thought of countless ways in the past few decades, but in the end there is nothing we can do, unless the Bailian river course is changed, or the Xiaoqianbao is relocated, other than that, there seems to be no real solution once and for all? "

Hou Tiao waved his hand, "Why not? As long as you are willing to do it, there must be one. I have a method. I wonder if Mr. Jiang would like to hear it?"

Jiang Lao Duan bowed, "Little old man would like to hear more about it!"

Hou Tiao drew a few lines on the chart in front of him, "Dig ditches and store water!"

When Mr. Jiang heard this, he was a little disappointed. This is not a very new and surprising method. Someone mentioned it before, but due to various reasons, the construction could not be started.

"My lord doesn't know, it's not like no one has mentioned the matter of digging a canal, but it's easy to say, but hard to do, and there are countless obstacles that are difficult to solve.

The most important one is that there is a shortage of manpower; moreover, it is difficult to take precautions if they are scattered over a distance of tens of miles; if there are too many people, what should we do in the fort?It takes a long time to produce less, and there are monsters acting as monsters, it is really difficult! "

Hou Tiao didn't take it seriously, "No matter how difficult it is, how important is it compared with Xiaoqianbao Future?

Insufficient manpower can be mobilized from other docks; for defense, our Quanzhen Parade can take care of it. In this way, does the old man have anything to worry about? "

Mr. Jiang was very embarrassed, probably because the actual implementation of this matter was not as simple as talking about it, and too many aspects were involved.
"Do you have a specific strategy?"

Hou Tiao smiled, "Of course! It's not suitable to dig a canal because of the cold weather, so the long canal can be reserved for the spring when the flowers bloom, so there is no need to think about it now.

What we have to do now is to divide some people into a low ground near the small front fort, and dig a big pond. Although the ground is frozen and difficult to start with, once you dig three feet, it will not be frozen soil, and it will be much easier. .

In addition, to prepare for the breach at Bailianhe, we will do these two things this winter, two or three months is enough!
Here in Xiaoqianbao, there will be my guards, and the same is true at the Bailian River breach, so the team doesn't need to be too long, and it is easy to protect nearby. What do the old people think? "
