The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 122 Infrastructure
"Wow!"

The raindrops hit the water surface, fine and dense, and the sounds they made merge into one.

Ding Lin was hiding under the water. He had just experienced such an incident, and his emotions were a little agitated. He couldn't calm down to practice for the time being, so he simply stopped and listened to the sound of rain.

Thoughts expand outward.

The whole mountain is in sight.

Ding Lin saw countless raindrops falling, passing through the forest, hitting the leaves and making a rustling sound.

The grass leaves droop and the ancient trees bow their heads.

The rain clouds blocked the light of the moon. In the cave, the White Snake and the Green Snake had stopped their practice at some point. They stayed together and snuggled up to each other, quietly watching the rain outside.

Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the sky and earth, followed by a rumble of thunder. The two snakes couldn't help but shudder.

It is the natural instinct of snakes and insects to fear thunder.

Although the two snakes have cultivated to the Dan realm, they have not yet reached the Yuanshen realm and are still inevitably controlled by their nature.

Lightning shone, and a huge rock on the other side was also illuminated. Next to the rock, a small figure huddled there, exposed to the rain without any shelter, looking somewhat pitiful.

"brush!"

Ding Lin's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and a bit of demonic energy shot out, sweeping towards the top of the figure's head. Then the demonic energy dissipated and opened up a fiery red curtain.

The rain curtain was blocked.

The five fairies lowered their heads, and suddenly, the rain stopped falling on them, and they could not even feel the wind. However, the rain was still ringing and the wind was whistling around them, hitting the leaves, making rustling sounds. It was obvious that the heavy rain had not stopped.

She was stunned and looked up.

Then I saw the opening curtain of demonic energy above my head...

……

Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

The rain stopped in less than half an hour.

The five fairies turned their heads to look at the small lake. The lake had returned to calm, but the water had become much more turbid. Countless messy leaves were floating on the water, rising and falling, but other than that, she did not see the red voice. The protective shield propped up above her head suddenly fluctuated. The five fairies looked up and saw that the protective shield dissipated and turned into evil spirit again, sinking back into the lake while flowing.

The clouds parted.

The sky was clear after the rain, and the moon appeared again, brighter than before.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the side and gravel flew everywhere.

The fifth fairy was startled and turned her head, only to see a depression that could barely accommodate one person exploded on the boulder beside her. She looked at the lake again, and it was still empty, without a single living thing. The night wind began to blow again, and she pursed her lips and hid in the depression.

At the bottom of the lake, Ding Lin spread out his hands, and that wisp of demonic energy flowed and merged into his sea of ​​​​qi again.

He no longer paid attention to the shore, closed his eyes again and began to practice.

……

Summer rain always comes in waves, but fortunately this rain was heavy enough to consume most of the rain clouds, and the wind was blowing slowly. In the second half of the night, there was no more heavy rain like this one, but it just rained sporadically, and it was over after a quick performance. But even so, this night was not easy. Although the rain was no longer heavy, it was intermittent and continuous. The five fairies brushed off the water droplets on their hair, and the hair stuck together in strands, wet and cold when the wind blew. She wanted to try to light the fire again in the gaps between the rain, but the dead branches were soaked and could not be lit. She turned her head to look at the lake again, but this time nothing happened.

So the five fairies had to hide in the shallow depression, in that small shelter. She curled up, hugged her knees, and her hair was loose.

The wind blows slowly but never stops. The clouds roll and disperse, gathering and dispersing from time to time.

Thus, the moon was also in the impermanence of gathering and dispersing, looming. The fifth fairy raised her head from her knees at some point, and she looked at the sky silently, watching the moon sometimes bright, sometimes dim and hidden, just like...

At a certain moment, the five fairies turned their heads and looked at the lake again.

Just like that fish monster, elusive.

This went on until dawn.

……

By daybreak, the rain had completely stopped.

The sun rose from the east, bringing unbearable heat, quickly evaporating all the moisture on the ground. If it weren't for the dead branches and leaves left on the ground, it would seem as if the rain last night had never fallen.

"Wow!"

Water splashes on the lake.

Ding Lin's body rose up, and the moment he broke the water, his form changed, from a carp to a human form. Water droplets spun off his red robe, hitting the surface of the lake, splashing countless ripples.

He looked at the fifth fairy. It had been windy and rainy for half the night and the latter looked a little tired and listless. However, when she heard the noise coming from the small lake, she immediately looked over there.

Ding Lin waved to the five fairies. The latter were a little puzzled, but still stood up and walked over.

"Can you build a house?"

Ding Lin asked.

The fifth fairy shook her head in confusion.

This was not beyond Ding Lin's expectations. He nodded, then waved his hand. The demonic energy swept across and cut down a large area of ​​trees. He then lightly lifted up the cut trees and swept them over. His fingers were as sharp as knives, cutting off the excess branches and leaves, leaving only a log in the center.

"Okay."

Ding Lin looked around and chose a high place, and then he nailed the logs into the ground with force, placing four logs in a group, leaving a cross-shaped gap in the middle. A total of sixteen logs were nailed into the ground.

"Now the frame of the house is ready." Ding Lin said.

In his previous life, before he traveled through time, self-media was at its most popular, and all kinds of short videos emerged one after another. Even if he had not paid much attention, he had seen some outdoor videos. He glanced at them hastily at the time, but after he achieved them, all kinds of memories in his mind came back clearly, and he naturally mastered these skills. He originally thought that these were just waste in his memory, but he didn't want to use them here.

Ding Lin took another log and did not completely trim the surface. He only shaved two sides smooth, and then put it into the log frame, one layer on top of another. After stacking two or three layers, Ding Lin stopped and looked at the five fairies.

"Have you learned it yet?"

The five fairies nodded hesitantly.

"I have prepared the wood for you. You can do it yourself from now on. Stack it up one circle at a time like I did. Remember to flatten the contact surface so that it fits properly without any gaps."

Ding Lin said.

"Oh."

The fifth fairy opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in the end. These days, she has faced the reality. In this mortal world, she is no longer the granddaughter of heaven, and no one will obey her anymore. Now, she lives under someone else's roof and behaves herself obediently. Occasionally, the fish demon will give her some help, but if she makes random requests again and makes the fish demon unhappy, she is afraid that she will not even get this little help.

People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.

What kind of spirit and pride.

In the face of reality, one can never escape the fate of being tortured.
