The 100% natural gas

Chapter 225: Second brother is truly a genius!
Today, the little white ape played the role of God of Death and went to Linjiang Division to take charge of the overall situation.

This little fellow was possessed by Lin Yan's Dian Cang spirit.

It can almost be considered another Lin Yan, but it also retains its own bloodline and its original temperament, so it appears a little different.

The Linjiang Division alone, acting in the capacity of Wuchang, is quite thorough.

"Master, now all the major families and forces in the inner city have been basically suppressed."

The little white ape whispered, "But this time, it was the Heaven Monitoring Division and the City Guard Mansion that worked together to suppress them! Therefore, whether it was within the Heaven Monitoring Division or within the City Guard Mansion, there were quite a few people who abused their power for personal gain..."

"Inside the Tianjian Division, a commander has been put in charge personally."

"As for the City Guard Mansion, the Chief City Guard is in seclusion again and doesn't seem to want to intervene."

"We have to find a way to knock it down!"

Listening to the little white ape's report, Lin Yan nodded slightly: "Got it."

Afterwards, he returned home in his own appearance.

As soon as I opened the gate, I found a well in the yard.

The mouth of the well was sealed, but there was a bamboo tube extending out to the edge of the water tank.

Around the well, a wooden frame as tall as two people was erected.

A thick wooden stick was tied to the wooden frame and extended down.

The little girl was holding the wooden stick, humming some music, sometimes lifting it up, sometimes pressing it down, and she seemed to have quite a sense of rhythm.

Every time it was lifted or pressed, the rope below would roll up with the help of the wooden frame.

There seemed to be a wooden barrel under the well. When she pressed it, it hit the well cover and turned over.

The water in the bucket poured out along the bamboo tube beside the well, and fell into the water tank along the bamboo tube.

As the little girl raised the wooden stick and pressed it down, after just three or five times, the water tank was full.

"Little brother, do you think I'm awesome?"

Lin Xiaoyue let go of the stick and took a horse stance, looking very good. She gritted her teeth and said, "I am a martial arts genius. I can beat three people like you!"

Lin Xiaonian, who was sitting on the ground playing in the mud, didn't even raise his head or say a word, but immediately started clapping.

His muddy palms clapped together with loud clapping sounds, splashing mud all over his head and face, leaving spots all over his body.

"You can beat ten maternal geniuses like you!"

Seeing this, Lin Yan said, "You should continue playing. Look at what Xiaonian is wearing. When your mother comes back later, won't she go crazy?"

"Ah, the piggy is back!"

The little girl cheered, trotted over and jumped up.

Lin Yan reached out and hugged her, and saw Lin Xiaonian, covered in mud, staggering towards him.

Then Lin Yan pressed his hand on the little head with sparse hair and pushed it three feet away.

"Look at you, you are covered in mud. Come and wash yourself first."

Not long after, the sound of slaughtering a pig was heard in the Lin family.

Lin Yan washed the kid clean with a relatively rough technique.

Then he scrubbed the muddy clothes again and asked the little girl to take them and hang them on the clothesline.

"I'm not hanging clothes. I want to practice martial arts." Lin Xiaoyue snorted and clenched her fists.

"You've thought it through. Here, my uncle has a bag of small Zeng Yuan Dan. I spent a lot of money to buy it from Grandpa Lu." Lin Yan said calmly, "This is what he developed, specially for children to eat. It can increase Qi and blood, speed up the progress of martial arts training, and will not affect your growth."

"Is it sweet?" Lin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up.

"Aren't you just focusing on practicing martial arts? Eating this thing will be helpful for your martial arts practice. Why do you care whether it's sweet or not?" Lin Yan was stunned.

"Not sweet?" Lin Xiaoyue immediately shook her head, saying that she was a determined martial arts genius and could become a master without taking any medicine.

"Sweet." Lin Yan said.

"My mother said that sweetening my teeth will cause cavities and affect my future in martial arts training."

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and felt that she was a determined martial arts genius after all, so she swallowed and chose to firmly refuse.

How can a mere bag of sugar pills be used to order a martial arts genius to hang out clothes?
"Grandpa Lu gave three bags."

"Uncle, let me help you wash clothes." The little girl ran over happily.

"It's all washed."

Lin Yan tapped her forehead and said, "You greedy ghost, hang the clothes up, and I will give you the Xiao Zeng Yuan Dan later."

Not long after, I saw my second brother push open the gate and walk in.

"Ayan, when did you come back?"

Lin Lei was holding two oil-paper bags and a pot of wine. He was a little surprised to see Lin Yan and said with a smile, "Most likely he came back following the smell."

"It seems that my second brother knew that I was coming back, so he prepared the wine and food." Lin Yan turned his head and said with a smile.

"You're dreaming. You wouldn't get this kind of treatment if you were back home. This is the roast chicken and pork elbow that I asked someone to buy from Qingshanfang."

Lin Lei said in a low voice, "It's winter now. Every year during this festival, my sister will come to visit us and bring us some bedding. I expected her to arrive today."

Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "I see. I came back at the right time. I haven't seen my elder sister for quite some time."

Before he awakened his innate wisdom, although his family was poor, his parents were kind and his brothers and sisters were harmonious, which was extremely rare.

The Yu family that my sister married into was also a small family, but after all, it was a family in the inner city, so it was considered a marriage of wealth.

Although the two families rarely interact, they still have friendship. For example, when this house was built, it was funded by money from the Yu family.

Although the Yu family has some arrogance of the inner city families and does not look down on the poor relatives of the Lin family, they are still quite helpful to the Lin brothers.

"By the way, when was the well in this yard opened?" Lin Yan pointed at the well and asked.

"You've been away from home for some time, and I forgot to tell you."

Lin Lei said: "People in the neighborhood have to go to the foot of Niujiao Mountain to fetch water. It's far and heavy to go back and forth. There are only a few families in Linjiangfang who happen to have water sources and can dig wells."

"Some time ago, I learned some knowledge about observing the stars and measuring the terrain from Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Lu said that the underground subsidence near the slaughterhouse in Linjiangfang was serious. Later, changes occurred in Dayinjiang, which also had a huge impact."

"Old man, let me use this little knowledge to observe the buildings in Linjiangfang, and then tell him what long-term changes have taken place in the terrain after the two disasters."

"However, I accidentally discovered that there seemed to be a spring under our yard on the way, so I spent money and asked your second sister-in-law's brother to bring people to dig a well."

"But your sister-in-law was always worried. She thought that the child was still young and might fall into the well while playing in the water. That was too dangerous, so she sealed the well."

Following Lin Lei's words, Lin Yan nodded slightly, but looked at the wooden frame.

"My second brother built a wooden frame on the well, which really saves effort. Even Xiaoyue can easily draw water, saving a lot of effort in carrying water."

"You know that my second brother doesn't have any special abilities, he just likes to delve into these things."

Lin Lei walked over and said with a smile: "I gave Mr. Lu two sets of things before. One set can use the water flow to fan the air, and the other set can help him add herbs to the medicine pot..."

"Mr. Lu saw that I was somewhat interested in this area, so he gave me a few more books, including one called Mechanical Puppetry."

"I thought it was quite interesting, so I put some thought into it and learned a little bit."

"A few days ago, I heard that the inner city had obtained some lost ancient skills from somewhere."

"Thanks to Mr. Lu's recommendation, I followed those skilled craftsmen to learn ancient skills and exchanged experiences with them, which benefited me a lot."

"After I came back, I spent some time and effort to build this wooden frame. Children can play with it, and it's not dangerous. Just a few tinkerings and I can fill a tank with water."

Lin Lei smiled and said, "I think this approach is actually quite good. I mentioned it to Mr. Lu when we were chatting... We are going to expand Gaoliu City and build a new city. If we can prepare more tools in this regard, it will save a lot of effort when transporting the materials for the expansion."

Lin Yan fell into silence.

He looked at his second brother and said slowly, "Second brother, do you think it would be easier to build a city with these tools?"

"Of course, although I don't know how to build a city and I have no idea what many tools should do or how to make them, I still think that if I can make tools, it should save effort," said Lin Lei.

"Brother, do you think it is feasible for me to build a house by myself?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.

"What's wrong? Haven't you saved some money? Our family also has money to hire a craftsman..." Lin Lei was stunned.

"Just an example, is it possible for one person to build a house?" Lin Yan asked.

"That's certainly feasible." Lin Lei thought for a moment and said, "It's just masonry, carpentry and so on. You have to understand everything. If you don't understand, you have to learn. It's very troublesome and not easy!"

"During the construction period, the beams and pillars were not something that could be done by one person alone. Of course, if it were a warrior, it would be different."

"But to be more specific, building a house by one person is not an easy task. Even for a warrior, it would take years."

Hearing this, Lin Yan hesitated and spoke.

“It’s troublesome, but it’s doable.”

Lin Yan paused and said, "But if we let a child who has not yet grown up build a house, is it feasible?"

"Isn't this just nonsense?" Lin Lei was a little confused. He felt that these questions made no sense, but he still said, "A child is not strong enough and can't endure hardship. He can't even lift a few bricks..."

"What if we rely on tools like this?" Lin Yan said, pointing to the well.

"How can they be the same? Building a house is not like carrying water..." Lin Lei said.

“But the principle seems to be the same.”

Lin Yan seemed to be thinking about something, then he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Tools can save people's energy and even enable them to do things that they couldn't do before!"

"Xiao Yue'er was not strong enough to lift a bucket, but with the help of the wooden frame, she was able to carry water easily and fill up the water tank."

“Even if you are weak, if you are good at borrowing things, you can still carry mountains.”

"What's lacking now is the method of making this 'tool'!" He thought so and closed his eyes slightly.

Creating an inner divine realm is something that only people in the divine refining realm can barely accomplish. It is like building a house by one person; it is extremely difficult, but ultimately feasible.

The power of the Qi Refining Realm is like that of a three-year-old child compared to the Spirit Refining Realm, which is basically hopeless.

But what if we use tools?
In Lin Yan's mind, there are only two kinds of so-called tools!

One is the technique!
The second is external objects!

The world still does not know what treasures there are that can help in refining the Qi realm and creating the inner divine realm.

There is no method of landscape creation in the world that allows a practitioner in the Qi Refining Realm to create an inner landscape divine realm with his true Qi using his soul that has not yet condensed its primordial spirit.

But at least for now, although the road ahead is difficult, it is not a dead end after all.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "My second brother is now a real skilled craftsman."

He thought for a moment and said, "Inspector Wu Chang has encountered a problem, but it is not easy to publicize it. Why don't you try to solve it for him, brother?"

"What problem?"

"A three-year-old child builds a palace."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'll talk to you in detail about this matter tonight."

Lin Yan said this and smiled, "The guests are here."

Unexpectedly, it was not only my sister who came to visit our house this time.

Yu's brother-in-law and nephew have also arrived.

This brother-in-law has a gentle demeanor and a friendly tone, and there is no sign of arrogance on the surface.

The nephew, on the other hand, is still young, only about six or seven years old, but he has been raised in the inner city since he was a child, so he inevitably has a sense of superiority towards the outer city.

Lin Yan didn't take it to heart and chatted with his sister for a while.

After my second sister-in-law came back, the family had dinner.

The brother-in-law finally couldn't help but speak.

"Alei, do you know that Gaoliu City has been turned upside down recently?"

"I've heard of it." Lin Lei nodded and said, "There have been a lot of things happening recently. I heard that many people died."

"The Liu family, one of the six major families in the inner city, has lost their ancestors. The entire Liu family has collapsed, and all its businesses have been taken over by other families."

My brother-in-law Yu Jing sighed and said, "The tree fell down, just like a landslide, and crushed many people to death..."

"Last year, your nephew was also sent there to practice martial arts. This time, the owner of the martial arts school, who used to be a guard for the Liu family, was also implicated."

"That martial arts school has collapsed. Even my Yu family, because our child enrolled in the martial arts school and had a master-disciple relationship, was almost affected."

"The person who took over the martial arts school at the City Guard House wants to pay tribute."

"Although my brother-in-law has some money, the other party is quite tricky. I dare not accept the money for fear of being investigated."

"So what I want is a Yuan Zeng Dan that can help me practice martial arts."

After a pause, Yu Jing said hesitantly, "I heard that your relative from the He family is a village head. Since the death of the village head, the He family is trying to get him promoted to the new village head! I guess with his connections, he can buy a pill of Zeng Yuan Dan?"

"This……"

Lin Lei felt a little embarrassed when he heard this and looked at his wife.

The second sister-in-law did not dare to agree, and only whispered: "My brother is running around, hoping to become the neighborhood chief, and the village chiefs of other streets are also running around, vying for the position."

Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were a little hesitant, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"I've also heard of Zeng Yuan Dan. It has a miraculous effect on martial arts training and is even included in the 'salary' of the warriors in the city."

"The City Guard Office, the Heavenly Monitoring Department, the Temple Guards, the Five Guards, the City Defense Forces, as well as the government officials, the day and night patrols... all the warriors who work for the human race have Yuan Zeng Dan as their salary."

"But recently, there has been a group of evil thieves in the city, which has caused the city guards to be quite worried. They have begun to pay more attention to the sale of Zeng Yuan Dan."

"It is possible to pay for the Zeng Yuan Dan, but it needs to go through the City Guard House and cannot be bought and sold privately."

"It's hard to say where to put my brother-in-law's money if I want to use it to honor others."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I have also seen Uncle He. He knows some martial arts, but his martial arts attainments are not high enough, so he is not qualified to exchange for Zeng Yuan Dan in the government office."

He said sternly, "If we use some connections in private and add some silver to exchange for Zeng Yuan Dan, it is also feasible. I am afraid that if it is exposed, there will be no hope for Uncle He's Fang Zheng Lao Ye."

"..."

At this moment, Yu Jing's face was not looking very good.

Only my elder sister seemed to be in a dilemma and felt uneasy.

The eight-year-old nephew, with a face full of anger, was about to speak.

Lin Yan glanced at him with a calm expression.

The little nephew felt a chill down his spine and didn't dare to say anything.

"Although my brother-in-law has not come to our house in recent years, my brothers and I all know that you treat my sister very well... and my sister often comes home with the tacit consent of my brother-in-law, otherwise this house would not have been built."

Lin Yan held down Lin Lei who was about to speak, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't feel angry. I will find a way to deal with the Zeng Yuan Dan."

"You are just a kid, how can you think of a solution? We can't find Zengyuan Dan here. Your brother-in-law and I will think of another way..." Upon hearing this, the sister spoke quickly.

"Ayan, what can you do?"

Just then, Yu Jing finally spoke.

Because he found that the Lin family's brother and sister-in-law did not say anything to stop him and let Lin Yan speak.

"Yue'er!"

"what's wrong?"

Lin Xiaonian and Lin Xiaoyue were eating the cakes and pastries brought by their aunt, with crumbs all over their faces.

"Aunt's cakes, are they delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"Then if your aunt gives you cakes, you have to give your cousin some candy beans."

"Okay."

The little girl came running over happily.

When everyone saw this, they looked at each other.

Yu Jing felt it was a bit ridiculous.

Yu Xiaoli shouted that he didn't want to eat the candy beans.

But Lin Xiaoyue took out three bags from her bosom, handed one over, and said in a baby voice: "Aunt, if cousin doesn't want it, then I'll give it to you... I'll give him one candy bean, and I'll give you a bag!"

"Thank you, Xiaoyue."

Under normal circumstances, my sister would naturally be happy, but at this moment the atmosphere was a little awkward and her smile became a little stiff.

"Brother-in-law, have you seen Zengyuan Pill?"

"What are you talking about? In the past, the sale of Zeng Yuan Dan in the inner city was not so strict, and people often gave it away."

"Then this bag is enough for my brother-in-law to give to many people."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Jing was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the bag. After opening it, he was stunned for a long while.

He was struck by lightning and stared at Lin Yan in a daze.

Lin Yan said calmly, "It's specially made, even children can eat it. Give two to Xiao Li'er later, and give away the rest. Remember, give them all away!"

"You..." Yu Jing was stunned.

"The Liu family fell, their ancestor died, does my brother-in-law know how he died?"

"I heard that he was killed by the Heavenly Supervisor because he embezzled materials for city expansion."

"The person who killed him was the Inspector Wu Chang who is now in charge of Linjiang Division."

Lin Yan took out the small flag from his arms, placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Master Wu for his appreciation, I will work beside him."

"..."

The atmosphere in the house fell silent for a moment.

Yu Jing just felt dry mouth and tongue.

Tianshi, monitor the whole city!

Among them, accepting bribes is one of the duties of the Heavenly Supervisor!

So just now, you were talking about how to show filial piety to others in front of Xiaoqi of the Tiansi?
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Send them all out, that's about it."

Lin Lei seemed to have thought of something as he looked at the bag of pills.

There must be dozens of pills in this bag.

If these dozens of pills were to be distributed, at least dozens of lives would fall into the hands of the Heavenly Supervisor.

How can this be a panacea for improving one's cultivation?

This is simply a deadly poison!
