141, The Ancient Nature

When Ding Qi finally stopped, he had walked more than five kilometers away from Dongying Main Society and First Society, and the Third Society were almost so far away, and he had reached the edge of the locals' daily activities. Five kilometers seemed not too far, and the locals were also very physically strong, but if they walked here from the field path, they would have to rush back before dark, so they would not have much time to work here.

Here are rolling hills, and further ahead are continuous mountains and steep mountains. The hilly slopes are public fields, and crops such as watermelons, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, sunflowers and jujube trees grow intersectingly.

According to the requirements of the new ten daily rules, no less than five crops must be used for spreading slope fields, and no wasteland plants must be eliminated. This is the most typical spreading slope fields. There are exactly five crops grown manually, mixed with various wild plants. The yield of this can't be very high, but to be honest, there is no need for these things to produce so high, and they can't even collect them.

This place is far away from the villages, and the time to get here during the day is limited. It is necessary to sow some seeds at the right time and organize people to harvest them when they are mature. There is no need to fertilize and irrigate, and it is purely a wild plant harvest.

The labor force is limited and the time is limited, so it is also troublesome to transport too many things back, so the agricultural products here cannot be harvested at all. Many of them eventually rot in the fields, waiting for the seeds to germinate again, and more of them are cheaper than local wild animals. Compared with the population size, the country of heaven actually does not lack fields, and the closer they are to the village, the more carefully they cultivate.

Bi Xuecheng fussed: "Watermelon, round watermelon! I was thirsty when I was walking, so I opened it and tasted it."

The watermelon here is not big, but it is quite round, like volleyballs, and looks pretty. Sima Master Hu Xiaoyu took out the bamboo worker knife she carried with him, cut open a melon and said, "Does Brother Bi Tian call it watermelon? I call it seed melon. There is too little meat and no one wants to eat it, but you can stir-fry it by peeling it."

When he opened the watermelon, Bi Xuecheng was a little stunned. The inside of the melon was half hollow like the tomatoes, and was covered with dense seeds. The watermelon here is different from the familiar variety. It is called seed-beating melon, which mainly produces watermelon seeds. Watermelon seeds can be squeezed into oil and are also a kind of snack.

There is very little watermelon meat and no one eats it. Instead, the watermelon peels off the outer layer of dura mater. Locals often use it to cook. It is said that it also has the effects of fire suppression and cough, cooling and diuresis. This is recorded in the third volume of "The Legend of Heaven", but Bi Xuecheng has not seen that volume yet.

Ding Qi smiled and pointed forward and said, "There is a jujube forest in the valley over there. Is it a golden date? It can be picked to quench thirst."

Marshal Xiao Bo Zhipeng said: "Brother Ding Tian is really eye-catching and has good insight. He can recognize it at a glance. He can still see it clearly when he is so far away."

Ding Qi: "It seems that the golden dates here are rare, and we are lucky today."

Sima Hu Xiaoyu explained: "It is because the land can grow golden dates, so Daying retains this slope public field. Golden dates are insured in many places in the Kingdom of Heaven. The closer they are to the villages, the harder they are to plant, so it is rare. Since we are here today, it is ripe for the dates, so we will pick more and take them back."

Ding Qi said to the three disciples: "Since you have good luck, you can pick more."

The master clearly said that this is a good thing, don’t miss it when you have the opportunity. The three disciples understood it and ran over with their backpacks. When they went out today, the master and apprentice brought a backpack. Ding Qi did plan to collect some special products here. The most important thing he was looking for was golden dates, and he was really looking for it.

This is not entirely a chance. The second volume of "Chen Kingdom" records: There are hills and valleys that can be planted in golden dates in the southeast of Dongyingzhu Society. He went so far in this direction.

This is the second time Ding Qi has seen the word "Golden Date". The novel of the online cultivation that Zhuang Mengzhou recommended him to read also mentioned this thing. The golden date in that book is said to be planted by a fairy master living in a secluded mountain village, and is a kind of spiritual medicine that can assist in practice.

Of course, the novelist cannot believe it deeply, but Ding Qi has seen Yue Ningzhen with his own eyes. Although the golden dates in the book are not immortal bait medicines like Yue Ningzhen, they are also very spiritual. There are two types of dates in the Kingdom of Heaven. One is an ordinary date tree, which can be planted in and outside the courtyard, in the fields, and the other is golden dates, which can grow in a very small number of places.

"The Legend of Heaven" clearly records the effects of golden dates: they can replenish vital energy, strengthen marrow and unblock the meridians, and can especially calm the mind. The things in cultivation novels appear in reality, so why would Ding Qi not be interested?

The jujube forest in the valley is not big, with only a dozen plants, and half of the fruits are ripe. It seems that they can be picked again next month, but this thing is rare in the local area. As Brother Tian, ​​Ding Qi is embarrassed to compete with others, so he has to go with the flow today.

Sima Hu Xiaoyu untied a coarse cloth belt wrapped around her waist, and after shaking it open, it turned out to be a long bag that could be put on her shoulders after it was stuffed. He and the marshal and military advisor picked dates together, and they packed a total of 726 pieces, which happened to be the total population of Dongdaying. After returning, they could send one piece to each.

A long bag could not be filled. The Marshal said rudely, took off his coat, and tied his cuffs into a cloth bag. There were more than a hundred ripe golden dates in the jujube forest, which basically made Bi Xuecheng and the other three put them in their backpacks.

There were still dozens of cooked dates left at the end of the tree. Ding Qi smiled and said, "Instead of falling into the ground and turning into mud, we should eat it now."

Brother Tian ordered this, so everyone picked a few and tasted them. This thing is different from ordinary dates. It is bright yellow all over. The juice is sweet when biting in the mouth, which is very quenching thirst, and it also has a strange fragrance.

At the same time, in front of Zhuang Mengzhou, the back pavilion of the Daying Master Sect, there was also a plate of yellow fresh dates in front of Zhuang Mengzhou. He picked up a date and looked at the Marshal Feng Guoxin opposite the table and smiled: "Marrior is really intent! As far as I know, the place where golden dates grow in the Daying area is far away. You sent someone to pick them early in the morning and sent them in less than noon."

Feng Guoxin smiled and said, "It is all right to respect Brother Tian!"

Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said, "I call you a master because you are the marshal recommended by the people of the Daxing camp. You don't have to call me a master, just call me a brother Tian. I told you this time, why do you always forget it?" He turned his head and said to Shang Ni beside him, "Golden dates, good things, eat more!"

Shang Ni also picked up a golden date and said to Feng Guoxin with a smile: "Thank you for the brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom who went to pick them early in the morning! The Marshal doesn't have to be so polite."

Feng Guoxin: "In addition to sending golden dates to the two brothers Tian, ​​I have something to report. Dongdaying sent someone to send news, and four brothers Tian arrived at their place at the same time and showed miracles overnight... The four brothers Tian asked the major camps to reply to the news and asked if they would meet in my camp to discuss matters next time?"

Shang Ni put down the dates that were delivered to her mouth again, stood up and cheered, "They are finally here? That's great!"

Zhuang Mengzhou coughed lightly, glanced at Shang Ni, and Shang Ni sat down steadily again. He said, "The nine heavenly brothers who came to Heaven this time have all arrived at the camps, and will gather in the camps next time in the market. You can reply to the news to Dongdaying like this."

Feng Guoxin: "So will the situation after the arrival of other major camp brothers will also notify Dongdaying?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Of course! Do you need to say it?"

Feng Guoxin: "The nine brothers Tian have come to the major camps and are about to meet in the major camps. Have you ever considered what I said this time?"

Zhuang Mengzhou looked at the cup in front of him and said, "Is it something about the piano fish?"

Feng Guoxin was stunned and said helplessly: "It's not this matter, but the situation of the country today. The two brothers of heaven have been here for many days, and I believe they have already understood the situation of the kingdom of heaven. Since the last brother of heaven, Tao Xin, no brother of heaven has been born again. There is a pile of scattered sand and no leader. All the people only seek peace and have no desire to advance in the world.

Today I finally hope that the arrival of nine heavenly brothers is a sign of our heavenly kingdom seeking innovation and change, to save three thousand years of lazy style, create a prosperous dynasty in order to strengthen the people and enrich the country, and pursue the great way of the emperor and the emperor."

Zhuang Mengzhou frowned slightly and said, "I am idle but have few desires, my heart is peaceful but not afraid, my body is tired but not tired, my qi follows suit, everyone follows their desires, and everyone gets what they want. Is there anything wrong with it? Is there anything wrong with it, Is it better to be good at food, let it be patient, and enjoy the customs?

Has the Marshal not read the History of the Heavenly Kingdom and not sure what happened in the past ten thousand years? It was so difficult that he was now in harmony with the light. Do you have to go back and provoke worldly struggles?"

Feng Guoxin lowered his head and said, "This is not my personal ambition, but my wish for the kingdom of heaven. Brother Zhuang Tian doesn't know anything. Brother Zhuang Tian has not arrived for three thousand years. Although the people of the kingdom of heaven worship the Emperor of Heaven, their beliefs are far from the past. They only seek comfort and enjoyment, and have long lost the power of the people and have no ambition to forge ahead.

Several brothers of heaven finally arrived, and all the knowledgeable people were looking forward to it. I wonder what the emperor and Emperor of Heaven had to do? The brothers of Heaven issued an edict, and the people supported it, so what could not be done? The nine brothers of Heaven, two of them arrived first and issued an edict. My camp is also the key place of the kingdom of Heaven. I believe that Brother Zhuang Tian should be the leader of the heavenly brothers, and Brother Shang Tian assisted him."

Zhuang Mengzhou looked at Feng Guoxin with a expressionless face and said, "The Marshal is worried about a lot. You don't have to worry so much. You can discuss the matters of our nine brothers. If you don't understand, please ask everyone in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Feng Guoxin: "But the three camps in the east, west and south have already taken action. Everyone is not sure what Brother Tian wants to do. Everyone wants to know why the nine brothers of heaven come to heaven this time?"

Shang Ni interrupted, "I said we were here to see you, I'm afraid you don't believe it either. But when we leave, you will understand."

Feng Guoxin: "Will Brothers All Heavens leave? When will they leave? The people of the Kingdom of Heaven will be extremely reluctant to leave!"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "After the nine brothers gather here, we will discuss when we will leave. But the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and it is useless for you to ask more questions."

Feng Guoxin: "Then I will take my leave first. If you want to think about it today, I hope the two brothers of heaven will think about it."

As soon as he walked to the door, Zhuang Mengzhou suddenly asked again: "Master Marshal, do you know what it means to be united?"

Feng Guoxin turned around and said, "Please give me advice from Brother Tian."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "I dare not give advice, but I only talk about my views. The so-called unity of everyone means to abide by their ambitions, enjoy their customs, and protect the world, rather than taking someone's wishes as their hearts and taking someone's desire as their ambitions... Forget it, I'll say vernacular! Restoring the world of peace, protecting the world of prosperity, and making full use of things, and everyone's ambitions to enjoy the age of life is the heart of everyone here."

After Feng Guoxin left, Shang Ni frowned and said, "Mr. Zhuang, what you said is not vernacular."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "As long as he can understand it."

Shangni: "But I didn't understand."

Zhuang Mengzhou said helplessly: "The meaning is very simple. The so-called unity of all people, in fact, people here have done it. They have common spiritual beliefs and inheritance, and they all recognize each other's attitude towards the world and life, optimistic and confident, and jointly maintain and maintain everything they have, but it is not what the Marshal just said about unity..."

Shang Ni: "It seems that this man is an ambitious man! He is not considering the people here, but wanting to conquer the whole world by himself. He not only wants to be the marshal of the camp, but also wants to be the marshal of the five camps, or even the king of the entire heaven.

If it were the current state of heaven, he would not be able to fulfill his wishes, and no one would support him. But when we came, the situation changed, and Brother Tian came, which gave him the opportunity. He wanted to use our goal to dominate the world under the name of Brother Tian, ​​or provoke a fight to control the entire kingdom of heaven."
