Imagine the world

Hua Zhenxing had recovered from the shock at this moment, and said: "The people who come to study must not be one or two alone, but in batches.

It is the range of that mountain. Considering the convenience of water intake and environmental protection, we must pay attention to the utilization efficiency. When the scale of this place grows to the largest in the future, it may accommodate thousands of people!

I suggest to build a collective dormitory. The fourth-level Yuanyuan master can live in a cave for 12 people, and each person has his own single room; the fifth-level Yuanyuan master can live in a cave for four people, and each person has his own suite. "

Manman has no idea what the cultivation cave is, but she is very familiar with the dormitory, so she immediately took over the topic and said: "Sixth-level Yuanyuan masters, two people share a cave, and each has a large suite. Yuanyangshu masters above level [-] , you can enjoy a cave for yourself!"

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "Master Yangyuanshu is at least a six-level Dacheng monk, and he is rare in the world. What is a cave?"

There are three grades for primary nourishment masters, and three grades for intermediate nourishment masters. As for the seventh-level and above masters of nourishment, in Hua Zhenxing's dream, the dragon sees the head and sees the end. The presence.

The realm division of Yangyuanshu is slightly different from the traditional realm of cultivation. It is true that the first to fourth levels correspond to the first to fourth realms respectively, but the fifth and sixth levels are actually still five realms of cultivation and have not yet achieved great success. .

The seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of Yang Yuanshu correspond to the sixth, seventh, and eighth level monks respectively.The highest-level ninth-level Yangyuanshu master actually corresponds to the eighth-level monk.

why?Because the cultivation base of the Nine Realms is beyond life and death in a certain sense, and is not an ordinary person, and the cultivation of primordial skills is vitality, so at that level, it doesn't matter whether you practice or not.

In the final analysis, Yangyuanshu still belongs to the physical and mental realm of ordinary people.

Manman shook her head and said: "It's different, it's different! No matter how noble the master of Yangyuanshu is outside, this is Yangyuangu, the headquarters of Yuanyuan masters in the world! To have a separate cave here is better than becoming a Yangyuanshu master. Yuanshu master has a lot of face."

Yang Tehong rode on the back of the beast and gave a thumbs up: "Manman is right, she is more insightful than Xiaohua!"

Hua Zhenxing also laughed, and continued: "At the beginning of the establishment of Yangyuan Valley, it was an honor to be able to build a cave. I suggest that a special place be reserved in the main courtyard of the cave to record the names and times of those who built the cave, so that later generations learned."

Yang Tehong nodded and said, "That's a good idea! It's like a collective cave for 12 people. Everyone builds the public area together, but let each monk build each individual room and leave his name in the room.

Many years later, a new student came and lived in the dormitory, and found that this place was actually built by a famous Yangyuanshu master, and he also lived here..."

Speaking of this, old man Yang actually laughed out loud, and couldn't help but twirled his beard and laughed: "I've heard of collective dormitories, but I've never heard of collective caves. Interesting, very interesting..."

Manman: "It's just a different name, it's a collective dormitory, but the place and environment are special."

Old man Yang: "Stop gossiping here, it's getting late, let's cook." He patted the beast sitting under his seat and said, "Qilin, let's go!"

Hua Zhenxing wondered, "You always call it Qilin?"

Yang Tehong: "I named it Qilin, can't it?"

Hua Zhenxing's expression was a bit weird: "Of course, as long as you are always happy!"

He couldn't help thinking of another situation. Many years later, it was rumored that Old Man Yang's mount was a Qilin, but he didn't know that it was actually an okapi named Qilin.

Qilin carried old man Yang on his back and didn't pass through the compound, it was empty, there was nothing but the house, and it could be seen clearly when he scanned it with his spiritual sense.

It didn't climb over the top of the mountain, but walked around a forest path halfway up the mountain to the other side of the mountain.The forest is lush, the lake under the hillside in the distance can only be seen faintly, and a bamboo fence suddenly appears in front of it.

Even in the rural areas of Dongguo, no one has ever seen such a bamboo fence, because it is not only tall, but also alive!

The bamboo fence is more than five meters high. It is just a piece of bamboo that is as thick as a finger, but it grows into a shape of zigzagging and upwards. The fence wall, with green branches and leaves growing on it.

Hua Zhenxing has been here before, of course he knows that this is not a natural formation, and he can't help but admire Old Man Yang's wonderful technique, he is really good at making up!Since we can weave a fence wall, of course we can also weave a door on the wall, passing through the door is old man Yang's small courtyard.

The small courtyard named Xiaoyuan is actually not small. Scanning it with spiritual sense, the area surrounded by the bamboo fence is about fifteen acres of land.The left and right sides of the fence extend to the lake behind the courtyard, which means that there is a section of the lake shore in the backyard.

Old man Yang's house is in the middle of this large area, and almost all the surrounding natural vegetation has been preserved.The area from the fence gate to the house is barely counted as the front yard, and the area from the house to the lake is barely counted as the back yard.

Bamboo shoots are already sprouting in the bamboo forest.Camellia oleifera has a very long flowering period, from winter to early spring. At this time, you can see the scene of flowers and fruits hanging on the tree at the same time.

The flowers of camellia oleifera are pink and white, and the fruit of camellia oleifera is brown and round like a jujube.The seeds in the fruit can be used to extract oil, and the extracted tea tree oil is very fragrant for cooking.

The buds of Camellia oleifera are peach-shaped, like peaches hanging on the branches.Some mutated buds do not bloom, but gradually grow into the shape of a white peach. This is the raw material for brewing white tea and refining white mother paste.

The best time to pick the mutated white tea suitable for refining white mother paste is within a month after the winter solstice. Now the time has passed, but there are still new ones growing here.

Presumably, old man Yang must have been here after the winter solstice last year. He used the nine-turn purple gold furnace to refine the Wuqi Chunrong Pill. One of the five elixir used was Baimu Gao, so he should have come here to collect the medicine.

The white tea can be eaten directly. Hua Zhenxing picked some fresh ones and handed them to Manman to eat together. The crispy and slightly waxy ones are very delicious.Qilin turned his head and blinked at him, Hua Zhenxing also handed it two, and Qilin rolled his tongue into his mouth as soon as he stretched out.

There are also ridges and ridges of vegetable fields in the open space, and each piece is not too big.Hua Zhenxing saw two fields where chives and garlic were planted respectively, while some vegetable fields had not yet been planted.

Manman asked: "Mr. Yang, do you always grow vegetables here?"

Yang Tehong: "I made it casually, and you can help me here, plant it all for me. When I cook in the future, I can pick vegetables in the yard and pick the freshest ones!"

Hua Zhenxing finally understood why old man Yang praised Manman for his insight just now.Being able to live in a separate cave in the headquarters of Yangyuan Master is a very honorable thing even for the master of Yangyuanshu.So how much face would it be to build such a yard for yourself here?

When they arrived at the house, old man Yang jumped off his mount, patted the beast on the buttocks and ordered it to go away, and said to the two of them, "Go into the house and put down your things, the kitchen is at the back."

Hua Zhenxing: "Did you also move this house from Dongguo?"

Old man Yang: "Yes, it was built 800 years ago. Now it is hidden in a remote mountain village and no one lives there, so it moved here. I have a deed."

In the rural areas of Dongguo in the past, there was a saying to describe someone's house called "three big tile-roofed houses".In front of you is an antique three-room tile-roofed house with a dark-colored roll-up tile roof, colonnaded front and back, and three rooms juxtaposed on the left and right.

The "ma" in the traditional architecture of the East does not mean the current room, and it is also different from the "room".If viewed from the front, it is a pattern of four main columns, then there are three rooms.

The bluestone foundation is more than one foot high, and the eaves and corridors are paved with clear mud square bricks.Stepping over the threshold and entering, the house is covered with teak wood flooring, which looks very new, but it feels like it has been around for a long time.

In the middle is the main hall, in which there is a three-leaf antique screen, and in front of the screen is an Eight Immortals table... The main room and the back hall are divided by furniture arrangement, with two rooms on each side, generally four rooms and one hall structure, the gate faces east and slightly south.

Put down the things and go around the screen, walk out of the back hall and come to the eaves at the back.There are two auxiliary houses on the left and right sides behind the big house, which should be newly built, but they are all in one style, with the doors leading to the verandahs.

The attached room on the left is a bathroom, and it actually has modern bathroom facilities. I don’t know how old man Yang got the water supply system. There is no water company here to provide services.

The attached room on the right is the kitchen, with a chimney, and there is a big stove in it.It was also the first time that Hua Zhenxing had seen such a real thing. This stove had a large stove, two small stoves, and three stoves. The big stove was equipped with an iron pot, and the two small stoves were clay pots refined with mana.

In fact, this big stove includes many components in this house, and there are signs of refined spiritual consciousness.

There is actually a square well in the backyard, which is different from the usual deep round wells. It has a square stone well rail more than one foot high, and the water surface inside is about two feet away from the well mouth, and the water depth is less than Two feet, you can see the bottom at a glance.

The surface of the water seems to be calm, but careful inspection with spiritual sense reveals that it is still flowing very slowly. It turns out that there is a natural small spring connected here.

Next to the well is a shallow square stone pool with gaps, which Hua Zhenxing is familiar with. There is also a place in the backyard of the grocery store. It is a place for washing things on weekdays. There are two small wooden benches beside the shallow pool.

Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Yang, you are really ambitious, and you even started carpentry, and specially built two benches."

Yang Tehong: "How do you know I did it? You, Uncle Mo, like carpentry!"

Hua Zhenxing: "It's true that Uncle Mo is good at carpentry, but the four legs of this small bench are made into a tripod shape, and the bottom of the stool is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. This is not Uncle Mo's style."

Old man Yang chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm going to make a bench first, and then continue the sacrifice when I have a chance in the future, to see if I can make it into a flying artifact."

Manman applauded from the side: "Boss Yang is amazing!"

Hua Zhenxing also had to laugh along with him. This is an ordinary small bench made of black walnut wood. It is very delicately made. It has obviously been refined by spiritual consciousness, but it is only to make it durable, and it is far from enough. A magic weapon, let alone an artifact.

Besides, whose flying artifact looks like this?Flying small bench, sit and fly to the sky to choose vegetables?Then you have to use your legs to clamp the vegetable pot firmly!He definitely doesn't have the demeanor of an expert, but he looks like a two hundred and five.

Old man Yang waved his hand and said: "The small bench is prepared for you, and it will depend on you to continue the sacrifice in the future. Hurry up and prepare dinner, Manman will go fishing and catch another wild duck, and Xiaohua will catch two pheasants, preferably One male and one female, and pick some fresh eggs..."

Chapter 251 Good rain knows the season

Hua Zhenxing did not separate from Manman, but walked to the water's edge with Manman.Old man Yang actually built a tall bamboo building, or a tall bamboo pavilion, in the newly excavated artificial lake bay, because there are only railings and no walls.

There is a bamboo bridge on the shore of the lake leading to the pavilion on high feet. The bridge deck and piers are all made of bamboo.Bamboo buildings are very tough, but they also have shortcomings. In addition to being not very durable, they always creak when stepped on.

However, the bamboo bridges and bamboo buildings built by old man Yang are different. They seem to be temporary landscapes, but they are permanent buildings.

The two came to the water's edge and leaned on the railing to look into the distance, Manman suddenly said: "There is a big willow tree over there, which hasn't grown leaves yet."

Hua Zhenxing: "I saw it too, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's cook first."

In front of you, you can see the Tai Chi spiral long dike. In the center of the long dike is a stone arch bridge, and a pavilion is also built on the arch bridge.The whole body of the gazebo is made of pure white large stone components, including the roof.

There is a big willow tree outside the pavilion, which has grown there for an unknown number of years.That section of the long embankment was originally a preserved section of the natural lakeshore. It originally grew at the foot of the mountain by the water, and the three old men left it behind when they built the embankment.

The location of the gazebo and the willow tree was more than 200 meters away from the two of them, within the reach of the eyes, and more details could be detected with spiritual sense.The willow tree is thick and tall, and the canopy spreads to cover the gazebo. The buds on the branches can be seen, but the new spring leaves have not yet been drawn out.

Manman lowered her head again and said, "Why is it built so high here? Is it for the convenience of seeing the scenery?"

Where they stood, their feet were more than a foot away from the water.Hua Zhenxing explained: "The water level of the lake will also change. Now it is almost the time when the water level is the lowest. But when the water level reaches the highest, it will not be able to flood this bamboo building."

There are all kinds of wild fish in the lake. When old man Yang spoke just now, he told Manman with his spiritual sense what kind of fish there are here, and what kind of fish is best to choose and what size is the most suitable for making stone pot fish.

Manman stretched out his left hand to the water, as if concentrating on casting a spell to sense something.On the surface of the water not far away, many large and small eddies rolled up, and the ripples swayed layer by layer.A few seconds later, she took out the Chunyu sword with her right hand, the sword case opened automatically, and a white light flew into the water, as if it had turned into an invisible dragon.

About ten seconds later, a big fish flew out of the lake and was caught by Hua Zhenxing.Looking at this fish again, the internal organs have been dissected and cleaned, even the scales have been scraped off, and there is still more than three catties left after weighing it.This way of catching fish is simply too beautiful, and it is cleaned up immediately after getting out of the water!

Catching wild ducks is a little tricky, but not too difficult.There are many kinds of waterfowl here, and just now I found wild ducks swimming in the water, but when the two men caught fish, they made these noises, and the ducks had long since hid in the grass nests on the shore.

Manman waved his hand again, and the Chunyu sword turned into spring rain and floated into the distant lake shore like silk, and tied a wild duck back with the sound of quacking.This time they caught live ones, because duck blood and duck offal can be used for cooking, so they can no longer be treated like fish, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

After finishing the work here, the two walked side by side to the nearby mountain forest, without going out of the courtyard covered by the bamboo fence, Hua Zhenxing used a pool of spring water to catch two pheasants, and picked the pheasant eggs.

Sitting on a small bench by the shallow stone pool in the backyard to process ingredients, light a fire and burn a large stove. There are no lotus leaves here. I chose a kind of big leaf with a fragrance to make beggar chicken. The mud layer was smeared a little thicker and stuffed into the hearth inside.

The old duck soup is stewed in a big iron pot, and there is a small pottery pot next to it for cooking.The vegetables are freshly picked. Mr. Yang only grows green garlic and shallots, but there are many kinds of edible wild vegetables around.

Hua Zhenxing found that there was no tableware here, and he didn't know how old man Yang ate these days. Couldn't he get a set of cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks for such a big project?He had no choice but to go out and collect materials locally, and processed bamboo bowls, bamboo cups, pottery pots, pottery plates, stone dishes and wooden chopsticks.

Thick bamboo can be used to make water cups, and thinner ones can be used to make wine glasses. Coarse moso bamboo, especially near the root, can be used to process bamboo bowls.Hua Zhenxing also made several bamboo jars with lids that fit perfectly, and made clay pots for soup and plates for vegetables on the spot.

There are two kinds of oil for cooking. One is the duck fat extracted from wild ducks. You can’t put all of this in the soup, otherwise it will be too greasy. Manman picks the fattest wild ducks.There is also freshly squeezed tea tree seed oil. It is not accurate to say that it is freshly squeezed. The actual oil extraction process is relatively complicated. He picked a batch of suitable tea tree seeds and refined them with power.

If two people cook a meal like this, can't we make it to the next month?Hua Zhenxing took care of everything smoothly, which also shows that he usually has the skills in refining pure gold and interpreting auspicious animal relics, otherwise, wouldn't he have wasted his cultivation for nothing?What's more, there is Manman to help.

A plate of fried wild eggs with chives, a plate of fried duck with vegetables, a pot of beggar pheasant, a pot of fish in stone pot, and another soup made from fish soup with some seasonings and wild mushrooms.

Many seasonings are carried by Hua Zhenxing from the grocery store. He didn’t bring too many things in his backpack this time. Springbok meat couldn't possibly be that good either.

Stone pot fish is not cooked on a large stove. Although there are small ceramic pots on the large stove, the mouth of the pot is too small, and the stone pot fish is best heated in a steam stone pot.Where can I get steam equipment here?So Hua Zhenxing made another big stone pot, and used magic power to make steam on the spot.

Even for the two "experts" Hua Zhenxing and Manman, it took a full two and a half hours for the meal to be served, and it was already completely dark at this time.With their cultivation base, they are naturally not afraid of the dark, and everything is clearly visible when they expand their spiritual consciousness, but they are a little uncomfortable.

Manman asked, "Why don't you light the lamp?"

Yang Tehong replied confidently: "There is no electricity here, how do you light the lamp? You should light it yourself!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Dinner will be served soon, it's too late, the food won't taste good if it's cold!"

Old man Yang took out something and said, "I prepared it too, what's the name of this bead?"

Hua Zhenxing: "There are light beads! That's great, let's sit down and eat."

Hua Zhenxing has personally forged two magical artifacts, one is the bamboo magpie he is using now, and the other is a bead specially refined from fluorite for the fourth-level Yangyuanshu level assessment. The only magical function of this bead is Can shine.

This bead was later named "Luminous Bead", which is very simple and clear. Old man Yang also forged one at some point.Hua Zhenxing took it and made a simple lamp holder, with a bamboo tube inserted on the small bamboo plate.The beads were just placed in the center of the bamboo tube, and then a soft white light was emitted to illuminate the entire hall.

The wine had been prepared a long time ago, and the old man Yang drank it with four dishes and one soup. After eating and drinking enough, he asked, "Where's Pianerchuan?"

Hua Zhenxing explained with a smile: "The old duck soup is being stewed. Use the embers in the stove to simmer slowly. It will be reheated tomorrow morning just below. I can think of ways to add side dishes, but the bamboo shoots must be fresh, before the sun comes out." For the bamboo shoots that were just released that day, it’s best to have rain tonight.”

Old Man Yang: "The Pianerchuan I ate in Dongguo back then used pickled bamboo shoots."

Hua Zhenxing: "What I make is to use this kind of bamboo shoots."

Old man Yang: "Understood, you do what I eat, I don't pick... It's best to rain at night, right?"

After eating, Manman took the initiative to clean up the table and went out to wash the dishes.There is a ready-made tea set here, probably brought a set from a grocery store, and Hua Zhenxing made tea for old man Yang.

Yang Tehong looked at him and said, "Are you really here to cook a meal for my old man?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Of course there are other things. Take Manman to see the Yangyuan Valley, and then see how the progress is going here. By the way, I will find a special willow branch. The system issued a new task for me ..."

Regarding the existence of the "system" and the various tasks issued by the "system", Hua Zhenxing never concealed from the three old people. He not only told them frankly, but also often asked them for advice.It's just that recently, the three old men have obviously interfered less and less with him, leaving him to decide many things, and Hua Zhenxing still knows everything.

Old man Yang twisted his beard and said, "Oh, that's right! Did you see that big willow tree just now?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I saw it, and I plan to go to investigate carefully tonight to see if I can find a suitable willow branch."

Yang Tehong: "A lot of things are like the new Sophie Port in your dream. They are not ready-made and waiting for you to find them. Don't worry. From now on, you should fast for three days to purify your body and mind. Since it is Practice, sometimes you can't be greedy..."

Old man Yang is a master of wine and meat, so it is somewhat ridiculous to say such words from his mouth.If the dishes on the table just now were divided into ten portions, the old man ate five portions by himself.However, Hua Zhenxing has always been very serious about Old Man Yang's advice, and carefully consulted Bigu and Xinzhai on various details.

Sure enough, it rained that night, and the light rain fell for several hours, but it was only within the range of this hill, not even the stone arch bridge and the big willow tree on the long embankment not far away.

Early the next morning, Hua Zhenxing took Manman to pick new bamboo shoots, rekindled the fire and boiled the pot of old duck soup that was simmering yesterday, added side dishes and noodles, and made a meal of Pianerchuan.

Both old man Yang and Manman had a great time eating, and couldn't help but praise Xiaohua's good craftsmanship. Manman said that he would do it too, but Hua Zhenxing himself didn't eat a bite.

After breakfast, old man Yang took Manman out for a stroll, and Hua Zhenxing took a bath with well spring water.Although it is easy to remove dirt with his cultivation base and the various methods he has learned, he still takes a bath and solves personal hygiene problems seriously, which is more ritualistic.

The most important difference between the so-called ceremony and the form is to cultivate the state of mind through behavior.Bathing itself has the purpose of purification, from the body to the mind, and then cleans the clothes. Hua Zhen walks out of the small courtyard with bamboo fences, walks around the foot of the mountain, walks up the long embankment, and finally enters the stone pavilion.

Chapter 252 Liu Xiahua

This stone pavilion is much more majestic than the square pavilion with four ridges and pointed roofs in Fufeng Garden. It is made of pure white stone with fine and smooth body, and it is actually a structure with double eaves and hip roof.

The eaves are nearly nine meters long and five meters wide, with the bridge as the base, and the front and rear pavilions are the bridge railings.From the perspective of Changti, there are two columns on the left and right. If you look at the direction of the bridge hole from the water, it is the front. There are four columns on the left and right, and there are eight stone columns in the pattern of three rooms and one entrance.

Hua Zhenxing came from under the big willow tree, and there was a pair of couplets engraved on the two stone pillars on the east side——

The Wind Moves Thousands of Silks and Listens to Willow Colors
