From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 45: Slash-and-burn farming and water hoeing

Where there are people, there will be struggle. The demon clan is not far behind. It’s all about interests. There are always people who think that if others get more, they will get less.

Wood ants are very inconspicuous little insects. Ordinary wood ants may not be able to hollow out a tree in ten years. It takes wood spirit ants even longer to devour the spiritual roots of a precious tree.

The iron plum tree has a tough bark and thick flesh comparable to that of an iron tree. Even after being gnawed by wood ants for two or three years, it only affected its flowering period.

Yu Bajie didn't want to get involved in the internal strife of Danhuang Dongtian, and she didn't want to involve her brother. Besides, her future husband would be of different bloodlines and would eventually leave, so there was no need to hold grudges.

Following Yu Shuyang's suggestion, the plum tree was moved away so that he could open up a spiritual field for his sister in Huangsha City.

Spiritual trees can be planted not only in wasteland, but also in spiritual fields. Just like the story goes, it’s not that the mother likes to eat fish heads, but that no one eats fish heads.

Huangsha City is located in the northwest. There are a lot of realgar and orpiment hidden underground, as well as a lot of pyrite ores, which makes it unsuitable for cultivating spiritual fields.

The power of metal is too strong here, and it is difficult to grow spiritual plants and crops. Even if a lot of material resources are invested, the benefits are not proportional to the effort.

Just as my brother-in-law Huang Wenxun planned, the most suitable plant to grow is centipede grass, which can absorb the power of the metal element and eliminate the influence of realgar on the snake demon.

Unfortunately, planting a large number of centipede grass will produce centipede evil energy, which is harmful to the energy of the snake demon clan. As we all know, chickens are good at killing centipedes, and centipedes are good at killing snakes.

Fortunately, not long ago, Yu Shuyang refined the Taibai True Shape Talisman, absorbed the power of the Metal Element, and created a large pit like a canyon.

Without the influence of the power of metal, he only needed to cast a spell to attract spiritual energy, sort out the evil energy in the land, and finally break the wasteland and cultivate usable spiritual fields.

With the Wuzhiyaocao sword in hand, a treasure of the earth and water elements, whether it is to attract spiritual energy or to clear the evil spirits, it is all a piece of cake.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the method needed to break up the wasteland. There are two common methods: slash-and-burn agriculture and slash-and-burn agriculture.

The effects of the two are similar, the only difference is the scale. Slash-and-burn farming is used for military settlements to open up wasteland, while the scope of spiritual field reclamation is large.

After thinking about it, Yu Bajie rejected the idea. It was the same thing again. Sooner or later, she would have to leave. Large-scale reclamation now would only be a favor to others.

If it were before, she would not care about these things. After all, Huangsha City is her husband's home. Even if the blood relationship is different, there is still a family relationship.

Even if you go out and start your own business in the future, you will still have family ties. As the saying goes, more relatives mean more paths. Just look at the various harsh criticisms you have received in the past two years. There will be no more friendly interactions in the future.

Yu Shuyang listened to his sister and used fire to plow and water to hoe. It was easier for him to perform the method. He just needed to set up a pile of elm and willow wood to burn, and use the bird-shaped Yang Gang talisman to transform it into the Yangchun bright fire.

He asked his sister to take him to the bottom of the pit. Holding the Wuzhiyaocao sword, he sensed the land under his feet, which was nothing more than the division of yin and yang land.

Walk in the east-west direction, gathering the Yang Earth Qi as you go to form an earth vein. This is the skill of creating the Green Dragon in Feng Shui.

Alone yin cannot produce life, alone yang cannot grow, where there is a green dragon there must be a white tiger. To follow the rules, you must use Ji earth to create an earth vein.

In this way, the Azure Dragon on the left circles around the White Tiger on the right, and the auspicious energy is born within. Opening the underground cave will surely bring joy and good fortune.

As time goes by, the spiritual energy and earth energy will follow the earth veins, the momentum will become stronger and stronger, and the effect will become better and better.

"Eighth sister, what do you think of my construction? Wait a minute, I will burn the weeds and dig the soil, and then plant the plum tree in this position." Yu Shuyang pointed to the place under his feet.

Yu Bajie couldn't see the subtlety of it, so she asked her brother to hold the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi and walk from west to east and then from east to west.

However, it can be clearly felt that the power of the metal element is gathering in the west, while the power of the wood element is also gathering in the east, and the earth's energy has become balanced between yin and yang.

"Remember not to cultivate too much, just a small piece of spiritual farmland will be enough." Yu Ba couldn't figure out the trick, so he didn't comment. "Don't worry, I'll light the fire." Yu Shuyang pulled out a pile of elm and willow wood from his sword pouch. These were ordinary woods with little value, and he had stored a lot of them.

Choose a fire hole in the south, point the Wuzhiyao grass sword at it, and the soil will melt, revealing a fire well three feet square and about five feet in size.

Fill the wood in, sprinkle some kerosene on it and light it. There is no need to seal the fire well or set up a stone pot. Just offer the bird-shaped Yang Gang talisman to restrain the Yangchun flames.

It is true that fire burns more vigorously due to the wind, and wind blows farther due to the fire.

The opening of the fire hole also gathered the fire. Even if Yu Shuyang did not create the fire spirit Suzaku, the fire aspect was also supplemented in the aura of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger.

Afterwards, if fire-type spiritual materials were buried in the fire well, a fire Qi would definitely be generated. After Yu Shuyang collected the spiritual fire, he directly filled the fire hole.

He only needs to create the dragon and tiger auras, open a Qilin treasure cave, and plant a spiritual root treasure tree, without having to pursue the balance of the four phases.

Yu Shuyang used the bird-shaped Yang Gang Talisman to release the Yangchun Bright Fire to burn the wasteland. The distance was controlled at two meters, and the silk-like flame burned like a fire net.

Burning wasteland in spiritual areas is different from burning wasteland for growing crops. It does not burn weeds and trees, but burns the wild energy in the land.

Just as ghosts have evil qi and gods have divine qi, uncultivated land also has a wilderness qi. With the presence of this qi, spiritual plants cannot be cultivated.

The bright fire of spring is as soft as silk. Fire is the softest and will not hurt anyone. The Qi of the wilderness will be destroyed when it meets fire. As it dissipates with the flames, the Qi of the earthly evil will also settle down.

After the fire is burned out, put the bird talisman spirit back into the jade talisman, then you can dig a hole and plant the plum tree.

This time, we cannot use the Wuzhiyao grass sword to divide the soil into pits. We must use metal farm tools to break the soil. As the saying goes, gold can produce water.

However, he dug a big hole in just a few strokes. Yu Shuyang first cast a spell to gather a group of Ren Yang water energy, and then drove the Hai water talisman to turn it into a drop of Hai spiritual water.

Hai water is turbid Yin water from the earth, which is not conducive to the growth of plants. However, it can kill life and be used to refine a pit of soil to disinfect all pests.

In this way, plant the plum tree in the pit and water it with a few drops of water to grow its spiritual roots and replenish its vitality, so that the spiritual plum tree will not have difficulty surviving.

"Sister, I will plant five-colored Ganoderma lucidum for you. Then you can tell whether there are any bugs by looking at the Ganoderma lucidum." Yu Shuyang wanted to be on guard.

Around the plum trees, each of them planted a thumb-sized Ganoderma lucidum. This was prepared for the twenty acres of spiritual fields at home after harvesting the dragon beard grass in May.

He used the Five Zhi Yao Grass Sword to make them survive, and then watered each of them with a drop of water, and they grew twice as big.

"Jiuchun, you are getting stronger and stronger. Can you give me some Zilingshui to refine it? This thing looks very useful." Yu Bajie took a liking to it at first sight. This thing is really a great tool for planting.

Yu Shuyang rolled his eyes at his sister and said, "Woman, your name is greed."

"Even if I refine it, you can't keep it. Zishui is just ordinary spiritual water. There is no way to store it without a special magic tool."

"I happen to have a water hyacinth. Just fill it up for me."

Yu Shuyang was stunned when he saw the water hyacinth.
