The Eight Views Palace is surrounded by eight pieces of farmland with peculiar shapes, roughly one foot wide and five feet long, shaped like three horizontal lines like the word "three" invented by the human race.
However, Taishang Laojun irregularly created puddles one foot square in the middle of these "three" lines to separate them. As a result, when viewed from a distance, it was not "three" but "?,?,"
?,?,?,?,?,?" This strange shape is exactly the same as the patterns on the Tai Chi diagram.
On these strange-shaped farmlands, Taishang Laojun planted wheat, carrots, potatoes, sugar beets, sugar cane, watermelons, pumpkins and a weird mushroom in blocks, a total of eight completely different crops.
Xuandu saw many of these crops when he went to the human world, and human tribes would basically grow one or two of them as vegetarian staples.
As for meat, the most common ones are fish, cattle, horses, sheep and other large animals, which are valuable livestock. Unless they die unexpectedly, or the tribe itself is raising a large number of animals, humans will basically not eat them.
As for another large animal, pigs, if they hunted wild boars, humans would naturally not mind trying them out, but it would be difficult to actively raise them. After all, before they grow up, they will eat more grains than the meat they can eventually provide.
Much more.
There are also chickens. Because they can provide a steady supply of eggs, breeders often won’t eat them.
But the problem is that as a [saint], the master does not need to eat these things, and neither does Xuandu himself. As for senior brother Zhuang Zhou... what he usually thinks about most is not eating but sleeping.
Xuandu's current "farming" mode is as follows: Taishang Laojun, dressed as an old farmer, walks in the fields with his hands behind his back, pulling up a sheaf of wheat or a piece of carrot from time to time, and then saying: "[The wheat in Shangqiu is growing well.
.]" or "[Who do you want to feed the carrots planted in Qingqiu?]"
Obviously, this is some kind of unexplainable authority of the saints.
The master in front plucked and left, while the apprentice had to work hard to make up for the missing crops.
From this point of view, Xuandu hopes that Taishang Laojun will pick sugar cane, watermelon and pumpkin - after all, they can grow by themselves.
As if aware of Quan Xuandu's thoughts, Taishang Laojun strolled towards the Bagua field where sugar cane was planted.
Compared with other crops, sugarcane is quite strange. It must be planted near water, so this field is exactly where the three horizontal bars are broken - what's the hexagram?
Because of this characteristic, Taishang Laojun often mentioned keywords such as rivers, lakes and seas when pulling sugar canes.
However, after Laojun broke a sugar cane this time, what he said was: "Fellow Taoist Nuwa is going to the human world? Xuandu, please follow me for a while."
"I will obey my master's orders," Xuanyung said.
After agreeing, he belatedly remembered that wasn't he the newly promoted saint? Could it be that the master had reached a level where he could count saints of the same level?
"[Being a master cannot predict a saint,]" Taishang Laojun continued as if he could see what Xuan Du was thinking: "[But the surrounding terrain of the dojo chosen by fellow Taoist Nuwa was built by your uncle Yuanshi.
The plants and trees were planted by the master, and the birds and animals among them were raised by your uncle Lingbao.]"
"..."
Xuandu had nothing to say, because it was obvious that these three brothers were not targeting Saint Nuwa, but that they had been saints for a long time, and the "Tao" related to the heaven had been divided up. As long as they came into contact, they would be noticed.
This is probably the reason why all powerful people will conceal the secrets of anything related to themselves.
"[After you go down to the realm with Taoist Nuwa, you don't have to do anything deliberately. You just need to witness what path this newly minted saint wants to follow and how to practice it,]" Taishang Laojun said: "[If necessary, express
Teacher’s support for her.]”
"Support? If Master is different from her..." Xuandu hesitated slightly.
As far as he knew, before becoming a saint, this saint Nuwa created humans and established reincarnation, participated in the construction of the heaven, and finally repaired the sky. It can be said that it is very different from Taishang Laojun's "inaction" style.
"[Hehehe, it is very difficult for someone in this world to think of a 'different way' from being a teacher,]" Taishang Laojun threw the sugar cane into the pool: "The way of being a teacher can be explained by [Wuwei], or it can be explained by [Inaction].
Everything can be solved.”
Isn’t that polarizing?
Xuandu couldn't figure it out for a moment. Seeing that his master had no intention of explaining, he looked at the ripples caused by the sugar cane entering the water. This technique of borrowing objects and projecting is also often used by Taishang Laojun when "farming". As long as the crops are
When you put it into the water, the water surface will show a scene of the human world in a certain place, which is probably related to the "comments" that Master said every time.
For example, the two chestnuts I mentioned earlier saw a wheat harvest near the capital of the human race, and another saw Yun Zhongzi, whom they had met once, break into the Xuanyuan Tomb in Qingqiu.
Huhuhu——
As the ripples caused by the sugar cane reached the shore of the pond, the entire pond glowed with white light, and then, an illusory, unusually tall and majestic green giant stood on the cliff on the shore of the lake.
On the branches of the tree, among the flowers and leaves, there are exquisite and beautiful roads, corridors, stairs and houses. They are all obviously artificial creations, but from the perspective of the giant tree as a whole, there is no sense of obtrusion at all. The whole tree
Just like a natural work of art, many colorful birds and fairies shuttle back and forth, forming a rather beautiful picture.
"[Good, good, good.]" Taishang Laojun praised three times in a row.
"Wa Palace?" Xuandu saw clearly the name at the entrance under the giant tree.
"[His elder brother and Xuanyuan are jointly called the 'Three Emperors'. This can be regarded as not forgetting the original intention.]" Taishang Laojun commented briefly, then raised his hand and pointed: "[Just take a look]."
Xuandu followed Taishang Laojun's instructions and noticed a piece of "blank". If it were an ordinary scene, this blank piece might be ignored, but in this almost perfect saint's dojo, it seemed quite special.
Abrupt.
This [blank] spiraled up at a very high speed along the outer edge of the huge tree house, and finally caught a black wooden box near the top - of course, it disappeared directly into the blank.
But what Bai Bai failed to catch was a pink orb and a red ribbon wrapping it.
So Nuwa is going to pick up her jewelry? This is...
"Haha, go ahead," Taishang Laojun waved his hand again, dispelling the illusion on the water, "Go and see how Nuwa Taoist Sisters will treat a creature that has awakened its self-awareness. Oh, by the way,
Disciple, please don’t call her ‘fellow Taoist’.”
Who dares to call fellow Taoist saint...
Xuandu's eyes twitched, he bowed to Lao Jun and left.
