Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 156 The feat of the world, calculating the craftsman

As soon as he drove Yuntou out of Zhushan, a black-brown flat road with a width of ten meters appeared in Jiang Xuan's eyes.

The avenue is not straight, but has a slight arc, winding and winding like a dragon to the distance beyond sight.

On both sides of the main road, branch roads appeared from time to time.

The branch road is five meters wide, flat and tidy, connecting all the villages along the way.

There is another branch road beside the branch road, which is only half a meter wide. It is said to be a branch road, but it is more like a trail that penetrates into the farmland, dividing the farmland into neat fields.

Sixi County is located in a remote area and there are no cars coming and going, so Jiang Xuan did not erect a railing between the main road and the branch road to plan the direction of pedestrians, vehicles and horses.

It was early morning at this moment, and as the red sun rose from the land in the east, the whole world also became noisy.

Children in big flowered jackets and big yellow dogs are frolicking on the tidy field ridges.

The old farmer led his big yellow ox and walked unsteadily on the branch road. He looked at the farmland showing his wings, as if he was looking forward to the day of planting.

Groups of young people went up and down the mountain, and game was transported down the mountain from time to time, followed by bursts of cheers.

There are also peasant women washing clothes by the newly opened canal, white-haired old men carrying their fortune under old locust trees, and young girls driving flocks of chickens and ducks into the farmland.

Feeling the joy emanating from those common people, Jiang Xuan couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

Taoists, practice Taoism to seek longevity.

But cultivating the Tao is so lonely. If a person cultivates the Tao on the mountain for a long time, sooner or later he will make mistakes in his cultivation.

It is much more interesting to do what you can and let the world change towards the changes you want.

He walked along the avenue with a sense of comfort, but when Jiang Xuan came to a crossroads, he suddenly frowned.

There is a small problem with the operation of the energy of the earth veins.

Although the formation has not been formally completed, as the soil avenues laid down by the soil soldiers with magic spread across the surface of Sixi County like skin lines, the scattered energy of the earth veins also gathered together.

It's just that they didn't fall out, which made the energy of these earth veins unable to be used.

And here lies the problem.

It's only been seven days, and Jiang Xuan felt a little bit of obscurity at the crossroads in front of Jiang Xuan's eyes.

Jiang Xuan can feel that even if the formation is completed, there will still be some obscurity.

If it takes a year or so, will the obscurity turn into a complete depression?
The qi of the earth veins gathered on the Tuxing Avenue is not a scattered qi of the earth veins. It can be said that a single hair will move the whole body. If one place is stagnant, then the whole avenue will have a chain reaction.

"So what to do?"

"If the formation is completely laid out, you can also set up the position of the star god in this place to control the earth's veins, but the problem is that the formation has not been set up."

"And will there be many obscure places? If there are too many, can I establish so many star gods?"

While meditating, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt something, and then turned his head to look into the distance.

At the end of the line of sight, there is an earth yao soldier coming on a cloud, and after landing on this crossroads, he begins to channel the energy of the earth veins.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan frowned even deeper.

When the Earth Yao soldier finished channeling the energy of the earth veins, Jiang Xuan casually took him in front of him.

After unblocking the earth's veins, the earth Yao soldiers who found that their eyes had changed had a look of guard.

But when he saw that it was Jiang Xuan who took him away, he immediately put down his guard, and bowed to Jiang Xuan with both hands clasped fists:
"grown ups."

After waving his hand, Jiang Xuan pointed to the intersection:

"How often do you come here to channel the energy of the earth's veins?"

"My lord, come here every two days to clear the energy of the earth veins."

"How obscure is the land vein after the establishment of the Tuxing Avenue?"

"not much."

After replying to Jiang Xuan first, Tu Yaobing continued:
"Every [-] miles on the main road, every [-] miles on the branch road, and every [-] miles on the field ridge, there will be an obscure place."

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes when he heard Yao Bing's answer.

If it is placed in Sixi County, then this number is really not much.

But if the Tuxing Avenue is expanded to the entire land of China, then this number is a bit outrageous.

For example, Huaxia in the previous life, as of the end of 2021, the mileage of national roads is 37.54 kilometers, the mileage of provincial roads is 38.75 kilometers, the mileage of county roads is 67.95 kilometers, the mileage of township roads is 122.30 kilometers, and the mileage of village roads is 256.35 kilometers.

With more than 500 million kilometers and a road of more than 1000 million miles long, how many obscure and stagnant places will emerge?
This is not counting the length of the ridge.

Moreover, the territory of Daming in this life is three times larger than that of Huaxia in the previous life.

After a little calculation of the data, Jiang Xuan felt a little numb.

This is a place with tens of millions of obscure and stagnant leylines.

"So it's not going to work on your own."

"Even with the help of Wuyao soldiers."

"One Sixi County is fine, but the whole of Shenzhou is definitely not."

"This is not a feat that can be accomplished by one person or one sect."

"This kind of extraordinary feat needs to gather all the forces that can be gathered."

After waving his hands to let Tu Yaobing go to work on himself, Jiang Xuan then continued to fly towards Sixi County.

As he approached Sixi County, Jiang Xuan had new ideas about how to proceed next.

But his idea needs cooperation.

Coming to Sixi Taoist Temple with a lot of thoughts in his head, what surprised Jiang Xuan was that he didn't sense Zhao Mingming's aura.

Lowering the cloud and landing in front of the Taoist temple, Jiang Xuan immediately looked at the little Taoist boy who was dozing off with a fly whisk in front of the temple door:

"Where is the master of the Taoist temple?"

Xiao Daotong, who was keeping his halazi, suddenly heard a voice in his ear, and immediately jumped up:
"I didn't sneak sleep!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuan couldn't help laughing, and then said again:

"Where did your temple master go?"

Xiao Daotong who came back to his senses hastily wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, then hurriedly raised his hand whisk and gave a salute:
"Daozhang, the temple master is going to kill demons and eliminate demons."

Smiling and rubbing Xiaodaotong's head, Jiang Xuan looked up at the stars in the sky and didn't rush to find Zhao Mingming, but said again:

"When your master comes back, let him come to Zhushan to find me."

Xiaodaotong nodded in a daze when he heard the words:
"Daozhang, you have to tell me who you are."

"You tell your temple master, he will know who I am."

After saying that, he stuffed a elixir to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality into Xiaodaotong's hand, and then walked towards the county government.

"Look, Jiaolong!"

After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Xuan heard an exclamation.

After the exclamation fell, the common people retreated from the street one after another, hid in the house, lowered the edge of the wall, and looked up into the sky.

"Why did Jiaolong come to the county seat? Aren't you afraid of being killed by the adults in the county seat?"

"Flying over swaggeringly, it should be a spirit beast raised by some big man's family, right?"

"It must be a big shot. Don't you see that those who bully men and women in the county are afraid to go out these days. The spirit beast that is not a big shot dares to be so ostentatious!"

"Speaking of what's going on these few days, the execution ground is busy all day long. I heard that an executioner chopped off his hand."

"What else can happen? There are real big shots who are eyeing those villainous wealthy families. I heard that in the past two days, the true emperor sent heavenly soldiers to crusade against those evil families. I can only say that those people deserve it."

"I've also heard that those families seem to worship evil gods and use people to make alchemy. If you want me to tell you, they have to raid their families and destroy their clan."

"Stop talking, did the flood dragon fall in our direction?"

"The little Taoist priest, hide quickly, it will be bad if you are hurt."

Turning his head to look at the old man who reminded himself to hide, Jiang Xuan just smiled at him, then hugged Xiao Bi An from the fallen Jin Jiao, and walked towards the county government office.

After Jin Jiao flew away and Jiang Xuan left for a long time, with the sound of falling debris, the entire quiet street became noisy.

"Old man Liu, you can do it, you dare to remind the Taoist priest to be careful, and you dare to call him a little Taoist priest."

"Don't talk about old man Liu, his face turned pale when he saw the Taoist leader take the little white tiger on Jiaolong's back."

"The little white tiger on Jiaolong's back seems to have a horn on its head, is it a strange beast?"

"It must be a strange beast, can a dragon carry an ordinary beast?"

In the noisy room, some peddlers looked at each other and then disappeared into the crowd.

Not long after, a paper crane flew out of the pavilion and flew straight into Qingming.

Jiang Xuan, who was walking on the road with Xiao Bi An in his arms, looked up at the paper crane that suddenly disappeared, smiled and continued to walk forward.

Let Jin Jiao bring Xiao Bi An to come to him with great fanfare, Jiang Xuan naturally has his plan.

If you talk about which monks in the cultivation world have no resistance to divine beasts, the number one must be the monks who practice the method of controlling beasts.

After all, their practice and combat depend on beast control.

If you talk about the second, it must be a stonemason among the craftsmen.

Carpenters and stonemasons can observe and memorize the charm of gods and beasts, and then carve them into statues.

This kind of stone statue born from the hands of a stonemason will have a trace of the charm of a beast, which can suppress the feng shui of a house, suppress the water veins of the earth, and suppress the nether world to keep one safe.

And what Jiang Xuan hit was the idea of ​​these masons.

Masons practice by carving stone statues. The stronger the charm of the stone statues, the more benefits the masons will gain.

Nowadays, the gods and beasts do not appear in front of people, so most stonemasons can only carve the gods and beasts based on their imaginations or the few words left by the predecessors.

Now that the news of Bi An's appearance in Sixi County has spread, there will always be stonemasons coming to the county, thinking of taking a sneak peek, right?

I promised myself that as long as I carve a certain amount of stone statues for myself, I can observe Qu An up close.

Not even just Bi An.

Ba Tie, Dafeng, Huo Dou, Jiaolong.
As long as they agree to work for themselves, they can all be brought out for them to observe.

There must be many stonemasons who couldn't close their legs with joy, right?

However, if a stonemason really wants to carve iron, he has to ask Shennong to borrow it.

Thoughts turned in his heart, when Jiang Xuan came to the county yamen with Bi An in his arms, Fang Yuan, the new county magistrate, was already waiting at the county yamen.

"The Taoist priest did a good job by throwing his hands away at the shopkeeper. After the order was given, he disappeared. It made the next official busy."

Seeing Fangyuan with a smile on his face, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but also put on a smile:
"I think the county magistrate is enjoying it."

While leading the way, Fang Yuan nodded without hesitation:

"The next official really enjoys it."

"The head of the Taoist priest sent Taoist soldiers to build roads in Sixi County, and used the Tuxing Avenue to connect the north and the south."

"This law makes the transportation in the county convenient, and the government orders can be passed down to the villages in one day. It also promotes the commercial exchanges between villages and towns, and enriches a lot of people."

"In the past two days, the smiles on the faces of the people have increased a lot."

"In addition to this, the fields have been demarcated and canals have been built to divert the river water to each field. The people will surely have a good harvest in the coming year, which can be regarded as immeasurable merit."

"There is also the dispatch of Taoist soldiers and county soldiers to eradicate those local tyrants and evil gentry who have caused disasters in the countryside, and it is even more harmful to the people."

"If you let the people know that these things were done by you, the Taoist priest, I will set up a shrine for you if you are not sure."

After a word of praise, Fang Yuan changed his voice again:

"I just don't know why you moved the people on both sides of the Qingshui River back ten miles, and also raised and strengthened the dam of the Qingshui River?"

"The wharf has been shut down for the past two days, but it took a lot of effort for the officials to suppress those people from the rivers and lakes and the troublemakers."

"It's just that many people live by the docks. If the docks are blocked for too long, the people should still make trouble."

Following Fangyuan to the gazebo of the county government office, he took a sip of the green tea offered by the maid, and Jiang Xuancai said:

"Pindao has a Jiaolong under his command, and he is going to go into the water on February [-]nd."

"In order not to accidentally hurt the people along the river, that's why the poor way asked my nephew to relocate the people along the river."

"It's just that I didn't expect him to push the matter to the adults, and he didn't say anything to the adults."

"Your Excellency can directly tell the people and those people in the rivers and lakes about this matter, and then tell the people that the poor will try to control the water as much as possible."

"Even if the flood floods their houses, Pindao will compensate them accordingly and help them rebuild new houses."

"Finally, tell the people that within three years, the poor Taoist will let the flooded dragon fly in the clouds and spread rain, so as to ensure that the weather in Sixi County will be smooth."

"The Dao is righteous."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan stood up and saluted Jiang Xuan, then sat down at the stone table again and looked at Jiang Xuan.

He knew that Jiang Xuan would definitely not come to him for nothing, so he just sat and waited for Jiang Xuan's orders.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan pondered for a while before asking about the destruction of temples.

"Before coming here, the poor Taoist asked Wang Donglai to take the poor Taoist soldiers to destroy the mountain and destroy the temple. How is it now?"

There was a trace of surprise in Fang Yuan's eyes when he heard the words:
"Wang Donglai is a ruthless person."

Seeing the curiosity in Jiang Xuan's eyes, Fang Yuan didn't hold back, and directly said what he knew:
"Sixi County has been in peace for a long time, and there have been no major changes in the past 300 years, so the local tyrants and evil gentry in the county basically have three-level cultivators. Do you know this, Daoist?"

Jiang Xuan nodded.

He did know that.

Although Sixi County is located in a remote area, its territory is not small, and there has been no war for a long time.

In addition, in recent years, the energy of the earth has been booming, and the elixir and spirit beasts have multiplied outwards. Let alone the three-level cultivator, Jiang Xuan, the four-level cultivator, is not surprising.

Seeing Jiang Xuan nodding his head, Fang Yuan continued to speak:

"Because the number of spirit objects in Sixi County has increased dramatically in the past few years, those local tyrants and evil gentry have used various means to snatch a lot of spirit objects, so many three-level martial arts practitioners have broken through to the fourth level."

"In order to deal with those families who were doing harm to the village, Wang Donglai spent a lot of money to lure three evildoers from the four realms to come to Sixi County, and then launched a surprise attack on those families."

"After he wiped out two families, the other families reacted, and then they teamed up to fight Wang Donglai."

"I don't know what benefits Wang Donglai promised to the three four-level fighters, but the three four-level fighters are still fighting to the death."

"In addition to the two four-level fighters hidden by the Wang family and an evil god who is close to the fifth level, and Daoist Zhao's dozens of "Shenxiao Lei Talismans", they forcibly killed the four-level warriors sent by those families."

"Of course, the Wang family is not feeling well either."

"Two warriors from the four realms of the Wang family were directly killed in battle. The evil god transformed by the ancestors of the Wang family was half disabled, and one of the warriors from the four realms who was deceived was also disabled."

"But they won in the end."

"The next step is to destroy the family and destroy the temple."

"Although those families still have their foundations, no matter how strong their foundations are, they are no match for the county soldiers led by Lieutenant Yang, the "Shenxiao Lei Talisman" in the hands of Daoist Zhao, and your Taoist soldiers."

"So in the past few days, nearly [-] families in Sixi County who were disaster-stricken were directly wiped out."

"Those who dared to resist were executed on the spot, and those who participated in those dirty things were directly beheaded."

"In the family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, there are only a few books who have never committed crimes and don't know the dirty things done by the family."

"But even if those books survived, they were sent to prison because of their crimes, and they probably won't be able to get out in this life."

"However, although there was a bloody storm in Sixi County, the cloud hanging over the people's heads was [-]% less."

"It's a great thing."

After listening to the narration, Jiang Xuan showed a trace of doubt in his eyes:
"If it's just like that, then we can only say that Wang Donglai is very skilled, right? How can he be a ruthless person?"

Fang Yuan chuckled when he heard the words, and then continued:
"Then I have to talk about what happened last night."

"After destroying those local tyrants and evil gentry, Wang Donglai first sent all the money from the house raids to the yamen."

"The actions of those local tyrants and evil gentry have indeed committed a serious crime of ransacking their homes and exterminating their clans, so those things will be accepted by the officials first."

"By the way, the Taoist priest should spend a lot of money and spirits to build roads and canals for the whole county this time. The county will bear a certain amount of expenses, and the Taoist priest will definitely not let the Taoist priest alone spend the money."

"Master Dao, why don't you go to the warehouse first to see what you can use to build roads and canals. As long as you need it, you can just take it away."

First, he borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and then Fang Yuan spoke again:

"I said before that Wang Donglai is a ruthless person. That's because he used the name of celebration and ancestor worship to gather those three warriors from four realms from other counties and most of the members of the Wang family to the ancestral hall last night."

"Just when everyone was singing and dancing, the evil god of the four realms blew himself up directly, blowing up the group of royal clansmen and the three warriors of the four realms."

"Not long after I got the news, Wang Donglai's youngest son brought a group of people to kneel in front of the yamen with Wang Donglai's self-reported crimes against the Wang family, as well as all the money, land deeds, house deeds, spiritual objects and antiques of the Wang family, saying yes From the first."

"Daozhang, do you think Wang Donglai is a ruthless person?"

Looking up at the stars hidden behind the big day, Jiang Xuan nodded:

"It's really ruthless."
