Strange mountains and rivers

"Uncle, I know what you mean. After the cave is first completed, I will focus on my practice. If there is nothing special, I will peacefully practice hard here."

Chen Huaisheng had to give Wu Tianen some reassurance, "I haven't given up on my practice in the past month. I have become more and more proficient in the eleventh level of Lei Dharma, and I have become more and more diligent in spiritual practice. Don't worry."

Wu Tianen nodded and sighed, "As long as you understand the priorities, everything is in vain without strength. But the sect may not be clean in the next two years. What I'm worried about is that you just want to practice hard behind closed doors. I’m afraid it may not be possible.”

Chen Huaisheng was powerless to solve this problem.

Although most of the blue wolves in Bajiao Village were killed, a few still escaped into the mountains.

The Du family in Bajiao Village suffered heavy losses, and the Ning family in Youzhou behind them seemed to have recovered and started to intervene here again. The Du family was also clueless now and didn't know what to do.

The group of demon corpses has disappeared, which is the biggest hidden danger, especially since it also involves the Phoenix Wing Sect.

There is also the fate of Lingyun Sect.

Once the Yuelu Sect really wants to take action against the Lingyun Sect, the Chonghua Sect will inevitably be involved. No one can predict how this fierce battle will turn out.

This is why Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi were willing to make huge concessions to let Ding Zongshou join the Chonghua Sect.

This is exactly the same reason why Baishimen would rather bear the bad reputation than let Wu Yue's notorious evil cultivator Zhang Taiquan enter.

Because Zhang Taiquan did not join, Baishimen would not have overwhelming strength in the battle against the Chonghua Faction, and the Chonghua Faction might not give in easily.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's silence, Wu Tianen also burst into laughter. He himself thought too much and too far, but he still faced reality the most urgently.

"Okay, I won't say any more. I also know that you are a person with ideas. Sandeling went into seclusion with Hu Delu when he came back from Huluji? Are you sure you can attack the fourth level of Qi refining?" Wu Tianen asked casually.

"It should be possible." Chen Huaisheng is still very concerned about the retreat of his loyal fans: "We have already prepared the Yancao Pill, and Delu and De Ling have not given up their practice this year. Next, especially De Ling gained a lot from going to Huluji to experience this time, and I expect that three months of retreat can achieve the goal."

Sandang Ling is almost thirty years old, nearly ten years older than Hu Delu and Zhao Liangkui. If he doesn't enter the middle stage of Qi refining, it will really be too late.

After Sandeling came back, he felt good about himself. Chen Huaisheng also supported him to retreat immediately and attack the fourth level of Qi refining, and prepared Yancao Dan for him, so now Sandeling is in retreat.

Hu Delu was about the same, so he simply let the two of them retreat together. Zhao Liangkui's condition was a little worse, so he helped take care of it. It would depend on the situation of the two of them in retreat after three months.

Wu Tianen also knew that although Chen Huaisheng had never accepted a disciple, a small circle had vaguely formed around Chen Huaisheng, and it seemed that the number of people in this small circle was still increasing.

For example, Ren Wugu and Yun Lei, the two little girls are not bad in qualifications. They are now following Chen Huaisheng and accepting Chen Huaisheng's guidance to practice.

Wu Tianen also knew that this was an inevitable phenomenon after the Chonghua sect reformed the rules of the practice system. Targeted recruitment and teaching of disciples would naturally form a group circle with Taoist masters as the core, which was inevitable.

However, Chen Huaisheng already had such a trend when he was only in his twenties, which made him a little worried about whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for Chen Huaisheng.

After seeing Wu Tianen off, Yao Liwei and Zhao Sitian came to congratulate him one after another.

In fact, they will soon build their own caves, but the areas they choose are closer to Longlinyuan.

Chen Huaisheng breathed a sigh of relief only after all the guests who had been welcomed and sent away were sent away.

Now, Yunzhong Mountain, Bailu Cave, and Bailu Taoist Temple are completely their own.

The distance from Longlinyuan to Longlinyuan is more than 20 miles, which is enough to make it impossible for ordinary people to come to their side without any trouble.

If there are no special events, Chen Huaisheng plans to go to Longlinyuan Mountain Gate every ten days in the next year to see the arrival of Hu Delu and Sandang Ling.

I go out once a season and go to Baitapu to buy some necessities.

The rest of the time I just spent the rest of my time practicing in the mountains with peace of mind.

The twenty or so Taoists recruited have also been put in place, some from Minjialou, some from Shitangzhuang and Daduweizi, and some from Bajiao Village.

These Taoists from Bajiao Village do not belong to the Du family, but belong to some small clans within the Bajiao Village. After discovering that the Chonghua Sect began to replace the Du family as the leader of the Fuyang Road, they took the initiative When he came to Wolong Ridge to find a life, he was recruited. There was even a second-level Qi Refining monk among them, but he was too old and had no room for advancement.

Bailu Cave can become a place recorded in books, so it is naturally somewhat famous among Dongxuan Sect. The reason for its fame is not only that Yunzhong Mountain is rich in aura, and Bailu Cave is particularly rich, but also because of its moderate location.

The hundreds of acres of spiritual land to the west are fertile and irrigated by spiritual springs, making them very suitable for growing jade, wheat and millet.

There is also a spiritual pond in front of the mountain to the east. There are also several types of spiritual fish in the pond. Although it is not anything special, it can always be used to improve the food.

The slope of the southern hillside is gentle and sunny. As long as the shrubs and weeds are eradicated and cultivated, it is very suitable for planting spiritual grass.

The valley in the north is rich in yin and is a good place for cultivating yin spiritual plants.

After crossing the spiritual land in the west, heading west, you will enter the hinterland of Canglongbei. The mountains become more steep and majestic, and the chances of monsters appearing are greatly increased.

Even in Yunzhong Mountain, Chen Huaisheng and the others encountered monsters several times during the cleanup process, but twice they were big-horned sheep, once they were mountain civets, and once they were Moyun white eagles.

Bighorn sheep have become barbecued meat, while mountain cats have fled into the ground.

However, Moyun Baidiao almost hunted Yunlei away. If Chen Huaisheng hadn't reacted quickly enough and struck the white eagle away with the Yitian Sword, Yunlei would have become Baidiao's meal. .

This also reminded everyone, including Chen Huaisheng, that the situation here was almost the same as that in forbidden areas such as Yushan in Da Zhao. Monsters often appeared, and there were even second-order monsters.

The differences between the second-level monsters are also huge.

Moyun White Eagle and Ice Scale Blood Python are considered weak and can be dealt with by high-level Qi Refiners, but things like the Black Thunder Leopard, Red-Haired Mammoth, and Five-Hearted Charming Cat, even if Chen Huaisheng encounters them, The only option is to retreat and run for one's life.

Especially the top second-order monsters like adult red-haired mammoths are basically the same as third-order monsters, and even the first level of foundation building must be avoided.

Because of this, when some Taoists thought they could bring their families over, Chen Huaisheng did not agree.

We are not familiar with the situation here now. Even if it is a Taoist species, it will be very dangerous. Ordinary mortals may die unfortunately if they encounter a gradeless monster. The risk is too high.

"Taoist, this is it." Huo Zhentang, who was leading the team, was the Qi Refining Level 2 from Bajiao Village. He pointed at the large basin down the slope that was like the bottom of a pot, and he was quite excited.

"We made a rough calculation and found that the whole piece of land is about 600 acres, and the surrounding pieces of land are one or two hundred acres. Look, there is a stream hidden in the forest over there, which can be diverted for irrigation. Part of it can be irrigated, so there will be no problem in growing millet. Only in the southwest, where the terrain is slightly higher, we can only grow jade and wheat."

Huo Zhentang is already over ninety years old. In terms of real combat strength, he is probably only a Qi Refining Level 1, but he still looks very strong.

But he knew that there was no hope for his cultivation, and his only hope was his grandson.

But the grandson was just seven years old and had already understood the Tao. He still had to wait until he awakened his spiritual roots before he could have a chance to join the Chonghua Sect. This was also the reason why he came to the Chonghua Sect.

"What's the soil like?" Chen Huaisheng looked around and asked.

"It's all good. It's slightly better than the one in Longlinyuan. However, it will take some time to reclaim this area. If we can recruit some more people, even mortals, it will be much easier to handle."

Huo Zhentang licked his lips and said.

Of course Chen Huaisheng knew this guy's intentions, but he wouldn't make such an opening, at least not now.

"Old Huo, you don't have to tell me this. You also watched the last Moyun White Eagle raid. Not to mention mortals, even if you encounter them, they will be fatal. If you recruit too many people, how can you take care of them? ? You and I both have to think hard about how to set up warning signs and restrictions here."

Chen Huaisheng is telling the truth. This place is too far away from Longlinyuan. The mountain protection array cannot cover this place at all, not even twenty miles closer.

If he wanted to set up a mountain-protecting array by himself, the investment would be too great. Even a small array would consume tens of thousands of spiritual stones, which he couldn't afford now.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Wealth and honor are in the sky. If we really encounter it, no one can blame anyone. Taoist master, you are too worried. They may not encounter this kind of thing outside the mountains." Huo Zhentang disagreed.

Are there fewer encounters with monsters looking for food every winter and spring?

Wouldn't dozens of people from ten miles and eight villages die that year?

There are people who sleep in the house and never wake up. Isn’t it hard to survive?

"Okay, not now. We will talk about it in the future. At least this piece must be done first and look like it." Chen Huaisheng waved his hands, he was too lazy to argue with the other party, "The plan for the year lies in the spring, Lao Huo, Qin Ke You have to hurry up, don’t delay, just burn this area to waste, burn it with a fire, it will only take three to five days."

"Well, it's almost the same. Burning the grass and trees into ashes will fertilize the fields, but you have to draw a boundary, otherwise the fire will be difficult to control." Huo Zhentang also looked around, "Taoist, we plan to build the house on this slightly higher ground first. , In addition, we need to ask the Taoist master to help us build a spring."

Chen Huaisheng nodded and said nothing. He pressed his hands on the ground and went straight into the ground two feet. After a while, he roughly found the direction of the underground spring.

Then he walked more than ten steps south, then suddenly raised the Yitian Sword and threw it towards the ground. The sword body penetrated into the ground with aura, quickly downwards, and disappeared in an instant.

Using his hands in succession, the Yitian Sword went straight into the ground, erupted violently, and then rushed all the way out of the ground. Then Chen Huaisheng put his hands into the hole formed by the sword light, and waved it continuously, creating a three-foot-square well. The eyes appeared as the rolling soil flew out.

"Lao Huo, just lower the bamboo pole this way."

It's that simple to build a well with swordsmanship.
