defend the truth

After returning to the bamboo building, in less than half an hour, Luo Yicheng had already drawn the overall design of Suojiao Well, from the depth of the piles under the foundation, the area covered by the surface, to the style of the eight merit tablets and the guardrails around the well , not missing anything.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Weizhen had to consult Li Weizhen's opinion on the style of the stele of merit and virtue, and thus changed it three times, its efficiency would have been even more astonishing.

With this design ability alone, if the Taiyi Sect still stands on Yuelun Mountain, within three years, Luo Yicheng is expected to be nominated as the new elder of Tiangong Dean.

After the construction drawings come out, the next job is to obtain materials, which cannot be delayed.

During the period of living and cultivating in Dayanling, Luo Yicheng had already explored the surrounding mountains and rivers, and used his ability to see the mountains and weather to draw a map of the surrounding three hundred miles, which greatly facilitated the future needed.

Like this time, it was necessary to collect large pieces of black granite to make a stele, so Luo Yicheng knew which mountain to go to collect materials.

The location is a mountain sixty miles southwest of the resident. On the map drawn by Luo Yicheng, this mountain is marked as "Huangtan Mountain".

The height of the mountain is less than a hundred feet, and if you go around the foot of the mountain, it will take about two miles.This mountain has no reputation, and the name "Huangtan Mountain" was temporarily taken by Luo Yicheng by virtue of the characteristics of the mountain.

There are more than a thousand rosewood trees growing on the Yellow Sandalwood Mountain, most of which are distributed in the sunny area of ​​the southeast hillside.There are also shrubs and weeds on the mountain, but they are not as eye-catching as the rosewood tree.

Dalbergia, also known as Wangshuitan, can grow up to six feet high. The tree has good load-bearing capacity, is hard and durable, and is a good material for making wooden instruments.The roots and bark of the tree can also be used as medicine, which can reduce swelling and remove blood stasis when used as an external plaster; when taken internally as alchemy, it has a wonderful effect on protecting the liver, especially for the symptoms of "burning the liver with fire poison".

Although rosewood is a good wood, if you want to mine, you must shovel grass and cut trees, and not only the green plants must be removed, but the soil covering the mountain must also be completely stripped.

The black granite that Luo Yicheng wants to mine is not the one exposed on the outer layer of the mountain. Those stones have been weathered all the year round and are not durable.Moreover, it will be broken once chiseled, and it is almost impossible to collect large long strips of stone.

However, due to the particularity of the rock formation structure, black granite mines are mostly difficult to produce large stones.

Therefore, it is not only necessary to dig out the soil and gravel, but also the stones that belong to the shell of the rocky mountain can only be regarded as "waste".It's like a hard-boiled egg, Luo Yicheng is so harsh that he only wants the yolk inside.

In the mundane world, if such a large mountain is to be mined, it may take hundreds of strong men and several months of labor just to dig out the soil on one side of the mountain.

But for cultivators, many problems can be easily solved.

"Sinan!"

The dazzling golden sword pierced down the clouds and slashed the hills, bringing the shock of shaking the earth and the mountains.

This is not the first time that Li Weizhen used his swordsmanship supernatural powers to cut mountains and rocks, and even restrained half of his strength compared to the previous round.However, the power was already sufficient, and a large piece of the North Cliff of Yellow Sandalwood Mountain was slanted off, and the soil, rocks and rocks collapsed together, exposing a large piece of black stone.

And Li Weizhen's contribution here is only the power of this sword, and the next thing will be handed over to Luo Yicheng and Changsun Shan.

Li Weizhen himself had other things to do, and it was not easy. He needed to go to another mountain to mine iron ore and cast eight thick iron cables over a hundred feet long.

Fortunately, in the matter of smelting iron ore, Sui Wenyan and Duan Tianqing's "Samadhi Fire" can help, and the efficiency can be improved a lot.

For mining iron ore, Li Weizhen's plan is to try not to damage the mountain too much, at least to maintain the integrity of the outside of the mountain as much as possible.Because if every time a rock mountain is mined in the future, the mountain must be split and chipped, it will definitely be a devastating disaster to the landscape of this area.

Not only did he look at the scene, but if a monk passed by the mountains and rivers with his sword, he would definitely be suspicious.

Moreover, there is no need to investigate the integrity of the stone when mining iron ore. On the contrary, for large iron ore, it needs to be crushed to facilitate the screening of high-quality iron ore, and it is also more convenient for smelting.

For the mining of iron ore, to maintain the integrity of the mountain, the ideal is to build a mine tunnel, hollow out the mountain from the inside, or even go deep layer by layer to develop underground.

For example, the mines under the control of the Luo family in Funan City used this method whenever they mined metal mines.From the outside, those mines are full of green leaves and flowers, and the scenery is beautiful.

In fact, the interior of those mountains has already been hollowed out. If one day the mineral resources underneath are also exhausted, the mountains with only empty shells may be sunk, exposing huge mine pits.And those mines will be built into artificial lakes for other development purposes.

There is a lack of large lakes in Dayanling. If you want to build a long-term foundation here, you must have mountains and little water.Therefore, many of Li Weizhen's current practices, intentionally or not, will take into account future events.

During the daytime, Li Weizhen used his sword to drill the mining tunnel skillfully. With excellent sword skills, it is not difficult to dig out the criss-crossing mine tunnel.The main reason is that the work of cleaning up dirt and gravel is time-consuming.And the mind is careful, you can't use force at will, you have to ensure that the mine tunnel you dug will not collapse easily.

In the future, these mine roads will definitely be reinforced with bricks and wood, so as to maintain ventilation and internal lighting, and facilitate the transportation of ore, etc.Although these matters must be handed over to Luo Yicheng to follow up in the future, at least they can't hand over the mess to others.

Others still have work to do, mainly because things are crowded together.Those red rice seedlings cultivated earlier have grown strong enough, but the space and nutrients that can be provided in the nursery field are definitely not enough to continue to grow.

The seedlings that should have been transplanted to the terraced fields two days ago were delayed for so many days, so that a small part of the seedlings that were supposed to be healthy showed yellowing green shoots.This is nature's law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and if there is no human intervention, a large area of ​​dead seedlings will eventually appear.

Therefore, in order to ensure the future harvest and the previous efforts will not be in vain, it is imminent to assign people to transplant rice seedlings by hand.

Sui Wenyan, Qiu Si, Zhao Hongxue, Gu Fuying, Duan Tianqing, Zhuang Ming, Fu Jingzhang, these seven people followed Wen Renyu to learn how to transplant seedlings, and they are now using what they have learned.With so many people involved, it can be seen that farming is the top priority at the moment, even more nervous than suppressing that dragon.

An Lan had to take care of housework and cook meals at the resident; Ye Tong was also not idle, he was assigned by Li Weizhen to hunt wild boars, red deer and other large prey in the dense forest.

Hunting is not for improving food, if you can successfully obtain prey, it will be useful for other purposes.

After night fell, Ye Tong, who had been out since the morning, returned to the station covered in blood.But the hunt he brought back with him was enough to make him proud.

It was the bloody head of a herd leader of a herd of yellow-horned red deer that inhabited the woodlands of the valley.

Adult yellow-horned red deer can generally grow to seven or eight hundred kilograms, and as the strongest of the deer herd, their physique must naturally be stronger.

Ye Tong is still young and has not yet established a foundation, so his strength is not enough to carry the whole prey back.So he chose to cut off the most important deer head, and carried it back regardless of the blood.

Don't underestimate it, this deer head alone weighs more than two hundred catties, and the fifty-mile mountain road on the way back has to be counted, which is mostly a dangerous uphill climb.

If this kind of test falls on the old disciples of Taiyi Sect, I am afraid that only Luo Yicheng, Duan Tianqing, and Zhuang Ming can do it, or they have the advantage of age or innate talent.

Li Weizhen of the same period may not have such ability.

Of course, Ye Tong, who had not formally received spiritual training, did not have that ability.

In addition to the hard work of the past few days, Ye Tong, who was almost beaten to death by Zhong Lihua at the beginning, experienced the "enlightenment", and was "washed and cut off the marrow" in the soup bucket, is already like a piece of iron.The more you beat it, the harder it will become.

The treatment of this deer head is to roast it with fire first, then boil it in boiling water in a pot, and then scrape off the fur.Only then did it finally reveal its true use, and it was placed on the altar as a tribute for sacrifice.

Who is the sacrificial person?Lonely ghosts too!

To be precise, it is a group of wandering ghost soldiers detained by Cai Ruoxian's supernatural powers. The number is 42, which is the maximum limit he can control now.

It was for Cai Ruoxian to subdue them one by one during his night tour.Different from the Yin soldiers summoned by Safu Chengbing when he was a man in the past, now this group of private soldiers belonging to him can follow him for a long time.In time, there may be some who can grow into ghost generals among them.

This night, the reason why the gang of Yin soldiers were used was to mine as soon as possible and transport the iron ore to the smelting place.

In the past, when Xu Zhenjun cast iron pillars to lock Jiaojiao, he used ghosts and gods to transport millions of catties of iron and stone.Now Li Weizhen is just imitating the actions of his predecessors.

It was not until tonight that Li Weizhen revealed to those who did not know the truth. In fact, there is such a special partner as Cai Ruoxian beside him.

At first, doubts and speculations were unavoidable, after all, there is a difference between a human and a ghost.The technique of ghost way can be said to be a taboo for monks who are born in the Taoist sect.

But after all, the object is the same sect from the past, and under the changes of the sect, each of them has their own fortune.Li Weizhen's concealment at the beginning was simply to protect both parties. There were some unspeakable things that required a certain amount of sacrifice and maintenance, so everyone quickly accepted it.

Even after confessing now, Cai Ruoxian would not show up in front of others unless necessary.For a long time to come, he will be the guardian of the shadows, walking on a lonely road by himself.

Closer to home, although those Yin soldiers were detained by Cai Ruoxian, they could not disobey his orders.But people have to eat to work, in fact, the same thing is true for the soul and body.As the saying goes, money can turn a millstone.

The deer head on the altar, after being sacrificed by Cai Ruoxian's technique, can give these Yin soldiers some kind of benefit.It is not easy to lose the soul power and lose the soul during the process of labor.

Of course, if the group of Yin soldiers were to directly absorb the blood energy and spirit of the living beings, the effect would be simpler and more direct.But the yin soldiers raised in this way are too hostile, and if they are raised with a fierce nature, they will easily become evil ghosts.It is still a trivial matter that it will be difficult to control in the future, mainly because it goes against the path that Cai Ruoxian insists on now.

Although good and evil are only a difference of one thought.

But those who are good will always set constraints for themselves.
