The next day, Chen Yu saw a few more silver crucian carps with their stomachs turned upside down. Seeing that they were not going to survive, he disemboweled them early and stuffed them with salt, and put them on the table to be fried at noon.
Qi is still studying, but I have other things to do today, so I put it aside for now and have to go to the mountains.
I thought about digging a pond before, but now I have to find a place first to avoid being flooded by the first rain after it rains.
In the courtyard, two trees infused with spiritual energy stood quietly, looking normal.
In comparison, the peach tree comes happily, and the effect of the alienation of the peach blossom is extraordinary. I ate a little yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, I felt much better in my stomach and almost recovered.
The injury is not over yet, and it is difficult to activate even the strength.
But now I can continue practicing again.
But looking at the fewer and fewer flowers, he had no choice but to pick out a few remaining ones and put them in the spirit machine, burying them in the soil under the roots of the trees, hoping that more peach blossoms that could heal would come out.
May 23rd, inspiration number: twenty-four pills.
For ten days under the mountain, it has not been used. The inspiration slowly accumulated at the rate of one pill every three days, and now it is still not enough. He thought about the spring millet behind the yard, which will be harvested soon, and then the vacant medicinal field can be moved.
The fourth batch of plants was planted according to the previous plan. Although a few of them had already been planted on the wooden boards of the earthen jars, other medicinal species were still indispensable.
Judging from the current situation, one ordinary vegetable seed can support a field, but the demand for medicinal seeds is more, perhaps several times larger.
"It's not enough."
He sighed. Now that his mental power is becoming more and more proficient, driving the waves of consciousness to dig out spiritual ideas is no longer a big problem, but what bothers him is the speed at which spiritual ideas are generated.
Can't keep up with usage.
"There are still more than twenty, so I should be able to last for a while."
Chen Yu also wanted to find out the details of the inspiration as soon as possible, and it would be best to do it thoroughly. However, it was impossible in a short time. This matter involved the spiritual field, and he was just getting started in this area - so far, he has not been able to
Find where the boundless ocean lies.
Consciousness space...he called it this, and every time he visited it, he felt a sense of the same origin. What was turbulent underneath might not be anything else, but Chen Yu's consciousness.
Carrying a backpack on your back, you don’t plan to go far this time when you go into the mountains. Just walk around the edge of the forest and find a place where you can dig a pond, and pick some wild vegetables along the way.
Now at the end of May, it is the prosperous season of purslane, bracken, sowroot and other wild vegetables.
These wild vegetables are much more versatile than those picked earlier.
It can be fried, stir-fried or deep-fried, not just cold or cold.
He didn't know how to go deep into the forest. It was difficult to divert water if it was far away. If he really dug it out later, he would have to open two small canals to connect them to the medicinal fields and vegetable gardens. He might not even be able to divert one to the mountain fields.
If it is far away, it will take a lot of effort.
Just when he was ready to go into the mountain, he saw a deer head emerge from the grass, its big black eyes turned, and it crossed Chenyu near the edge of the forest and headed towards the two rows of peach trees.
"Yo yo" sounded twice, as if to say hello, and the deer jumped straight to the innermost tree without being invited.
Chen Yu was stunned. He didn't care when this guy left before, but now he might have become familiar with him. He ran here every two days. He patted the guy angrily, put one arm around his body, and looked up and down.
I poked here and there and found no new scars.
After untying the bandage, the wound underneath has scabbed over and the bloody scab is black and thick, so there is no need to apply any more medicine.
After thinking about it, I simply pulled it off and let go of the silly deer. Then I turned around and entered the forest, ignoring it again.
They were all regulars, and they really didn't come out, so they pointed at his precious peach tree to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, with this in mind, he raised the guardrail a little higher, so that even if the greedy deer approached, he would have no choice but to flee.
…
I have gone into the mountains several times, and each time I have a different feeling. There are many beautiful mountains in Xizhou, and Qingtai is no exception. However, there are majestic peaks on both sides, which make it even more exquisite.
The mountain forest is dense, but it is far less deep. The place where he went when he crossed the mountain into the forest to pick reed ginseng was much deeper than here. At this moment, after searching around, he could not see many medicinal herbs.
There aren't many wild vegetables either.
"There aren't even two mushrooms."
He fiddled with the big red umbrella with white spots on it with a wooden stick, and then looked in another direction.
It hasn't rained these past few days, so the mushrooms can't grow. But that's not what it was for.
After walking for more than twenty feet and breaking several branches blocking the road, Chen Yu's eyes lit up and he finally found a low-lying area that he liked.
"Unfortunately, it's still a bit far." He turned back and looked in the direction of the Taoist temple. Even though he hadn't walked far, it was still more than a mile away from Yunhe Temple.
It would take a lot of work to dig canals to divert water.
Chen Yu walked around, then turned back, and chose another direction to enter, intending to look for more. It would be best to find one closer, it doesn't matter if it is big or not, you can dig some for expansion anyway.
If that doesn't work, you can dig a few semi-large holes in the ground on the right side of the vegetable garden.
Put some earth and rocks at the bottom and surround it more tightly, which can also divert water for irrigation - but this will require a lot more work than simply repairing and storing water in the existing depression.
"Actually, it's not much more."
He thought about it carefully, and found that the few places that could store water without causing too much impact on the mountain soil were all a bit far away. The ditches had to be dug long, but there was no such concern on the edge of the fields. Comparing the two, it was actually hard to tell.
Which one takes more time and energy.
"Look again, if it doesn't work, forget it."
Dig two pits to serve as water reservoirs. The land is not too big and a pond is impossible, but it is most important to solve the water problem for the vegetable garden and medicine field first.
In the past, there was little planting, so we had to fetch water from halfway up the mountain. Now that the medicinal fields have been expanded, we may have to grow more vegetable gardens, so there will be a lot more water.
It would be too troublesome for him to carry water alone.
How about... how many apprentices do you accept?
Thoughts were rising and falling, and Chen Yu was seriously considering this idea in his mind.
In previous years, there were many people in the Taoist temple on the mountain. Although the number of disciples was not as high as that of Zhengyuan Temple, there were still about twenty or thirty people. Counting Taoist boys, servants, Lifu, etc., there were even a hundred people at its peak.
More than enough.
In fact, Yunhe Temple was quite famous a few years ago. From the first founder to the old Taoist priests, they were second-rate masters for generations, and their reputation for protecting the Tao was resounding.
However, strong martial arts skills do not mean that the Taoist temple can run well. Just like when the old Taoist priest, his name spread throughout the state, but the temple could not stop its decline and never regained its former fame.
Nowadays, Chen Yu is naturally qualified to recruit disciples. Not to mention his status as the master of Yunhe Monastery, his small achievements in strength alone are enough to recruit disciples under the mountain.
However, after careful consideration, he gave up. After all, he could eat well and sleep well alone in the mountains, so there was no need to drag a junior into trouble.
Moreover, no matter whether it is a medicinal field or something else, including the spirit liquid and spiritual intelligence, it is not yet time to be exposed, and he himself has not figured it out, so he might cause some trouble if he points it out to others.
…
When the time came to noon, Chen Yu returned early and was now rubbing the deer's head, teaching him not to trample the guardrail with his hooves.
As soon as he returned, he saw the stupid deer kicking a pair of front hooves, hitting the guardrail and breaking a hole.
Regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, Chen Yu started to teach him a lesson after rubbing the deer's head angrily.
By the way, it can also relieve some of the depression in your heart.
The result of entering the mountain was not satisfactory. I harvested some wild vegetables, but I couldn't find a suitable depression in the ready-made depression. I finally decided to dig one myself and landed on the edge of the vegetable garden. However, I will move closer to the top. There are some gravel pits there, which are not big but not big.
Enough. It is estimated that most of the pond will be leaning against the stone wall in the end.
It will only need a little renovation and it will become a natural reservoir.
"Understand?"
Yo~
"Well, children can be taught, as long as they understand."
Yo~
Bang! A pair of hooves fell down, finally stepping on the guardrail under their feet.
Chen Yu: "..."
The sika deer, however, didn't care about this. It was happy and ignored the two-legged beast in front of it that had been mumbling for a long time and didn't know what it was talking about. It stretched its neck and was about to bite a cluster of charming peach blossoms!
Speaking of which, why haven’t we reached the standard of 3,000 words of updates per day?
