How many eyes does Lord Ma have? This is the question raised by the new spirit horse.
When the spirit horse heard that he was being trained by the Toad Palace Fairy, he was very disdainful and wanted to make trouble on the spot. He strode up to the Toad Palace Fairy and wanted the Toad Palace Fairy to know, "How many eyes does Lord Ma have?"
.
Then Zhao Ran witnessed a tragedy begin to unfold...
Then Lord Ma realized how many eyes he had. He knelt down in front of Fairy Toad Palace and whispered: "There are not three, only two..."
The Toad Palace Fairy pointed her paw at the center of his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"
Lord Ma explained: "This is not an eye, it is... a scar..."
Fairy Toad Palace threw out a piece of white silk: "Since it's a scar, just bandage it."
So Prince Ma quickly wrapped a piece of white silk around his forehead, wrapping up the "scar" and not daring to take it off easily.
Lord Ma accepted his defeat, and his gang of spirit monsters from southern and western Sichuan were torn to pieces, and each family honestly accepted the command of the Junshan lineage spirit monsters.
Qingjun didn't pay attention to the fighting here at all. To her, whether it was the Toad Palace Fairy or Lord Ma, they were all her children. A fight between children was nothing more normal.
The only thing she was interested in was the changes in the cultivation of Fairy Toad Palace, so she said to Zhao Ran: "When you are done with your work, send the little rabbit to Daqingshan."
Zhao Ran was a little reluctant and tried to persuade Qingjun: "Actually, she is doing well in Dajun Mountain. After she transforms, our Zongsheng Hall will protect her. Don't worry, Fairy Qing."
Qingjun thought for a while and said: "That's right, no one in the Taoist sect's authentic pavilion can hurt her... Then you can ask her what she wants."
Qingjun went up to Yunxiantai to pay homage to Patriarch Longyang, and then left Dajun Mountain, so Zhao Ran continued to be busy without touching the ground.
In mid-March, everything was not yet complete, and Zhao Ran couldn't wait to start construction.
The spirit demons were divided into three large construction teams, and they dug artificial lakes according to the layout of one mansion.
The Songfan side has the heaviest task, six need to be dug, and the Toad Palace Fairy will personally lead the team; the Long'an side needs to dig three, and the Five Color Master will lead the team; the Dufu side needs to dig four, and the Fei Longzi will lead the team.
The first artificial water storage lake in Songfan is located at Xintang Pass on the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, which belongs to Yongzhen County and is just seven miles northeast of Xintang Pass.
At the same time, this is also a model project for the excavation of artificial lakes. All personnel from the Drought Relief Headquarters came here to learn and explore the experience of spirit demons and monks in carrying out large-scale projects during the entire construction process, and set standards based on this construction.
After this "model lake" is completed, personnel from all parties will disperse and begin large-scale construction.
This is a muddy pond, a depression around Xintanguan. The deepest point is nearly two feet lower than the river level about nine miles away, with a radius of about 800 acres. Because it is adjacent to the Minjiang River, river water often seeps in.
Sometimes it is a swamp, sometimes it is a pond, and there is no land for farming. But surrounding this depression is the relatively rich land in Yongzhen, with 50,000 to 60,000 acres of good paddy fields here.
This is the easiest and ideal excavation site for artificial lakes.
Fairy Toad Palace waved her little claws forward, and the five-color master, Qingtian layman, Huangjiao Daxian, Marshal Gao, including Lord Ma who had just been adopted as his younger brother, and other spirit demons led a group of demons to rush in and desperately abandoned the pit.
Thousands of monsters were working here, and the area was blocked off by Taoist priests and government officials from Yongzhen County. Many brave people wanted to come and watch, but they were blocked from the outside.
Huangshan Jun and Shen Jiangzi each roared like tigers and leopards, and guarded majestically beside Zhao Ran. They looked left and right, their eyes gleaming, staring at the monsters, monks and Taoist officials who were constantly coming and going.
Be alert and guard against any young people who intend to harm Taoist Zhao to show your loyalty to your duties.
Suddenly, Zhao Ran hit the two of them on the head: "Hurry up and work, why are you standing here?"
The two looked aggrievedly at the huge busy pit below, and had no choice but to sneak out reluctantly.
Linglu Yuyang dug at the bottom of the pit for a while, then rushed to the edge of the pit and asked Zhao Ran: "Director Zhao, when will Xiao Yao be assigned my own job?"
Zhao Ran said: "At this moment, regardless of their own duties or non-professional duties, they are all under the command and are being dispatched. You should work hard first. If you don't do it well, your committee appointment letter will be taken back!"
Linglu Yuyang was puzzled and asked: "What is the letter of appointment?"
"Haven't it been given to you yet?"
"No."
Zhao Ran then said: "Then you should work hard. If you don't do well, you will not be issued a letter of appointment!"
Linglu Yuyang could only sigh and return to the bottom of the pit to continue kicking like flying.
Dongfang Jing looked at the busy construction site in front of him, looked up at the cloudless blue sky, and said to Zhao Ran: "I went to understand the situation in each county. Sure enough, from the end of last autumn to the present, Songfan Southeast, Long'an Prefecture, and Du Fuzhong
In the north, there has never been a single snowfall or rain in the western part of Boryeong Province..."
Zhao Ran pointed downward: "The water level of the Minjiang River has dropped by about four feet compared to previous years. What should have been a mud pond is now a pit. The situation is not optimistic."
Dongfang Jing said with emotion: "I only heard that you can command monsters to do things before, but today I saw it with my own eyes. It's really a worthwhile trip. There are actually thousands of monsters gathered here, and they are working for my Taoist sect. Tell me about it."
Who would believe it?"
Zhao Ran explained: "Actually, it's simple, just make friends with them. These spirit demons are still very loyal and don't have so much fuss. If you are more sincere to them, they will treat you regardless of gain or loss. If you give them some benefits, they will
It will feed back to you a thousand times. As long as you make friends with the spirit monsters, directing these monsters to work will not be a problem."
Dongfang Jing shook his head: "It's easier said than done... With this attitude, I'm afraid it can be completed ahead of schedule in half a month."
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Thanks to the help of the Lord of Qingshan, the number of monsters has doubled, and the manpower... monster power is sufficient. I was originally worried that the new group of monsters from southern Sichuan were inexperienced and would not obey orders.
, but when I saw it today, I was overly worried. Facts have proved that as long as there are people to help and guide them, they will learn very quickly. You see, it hasn’t been long, and they are already a bit more than following the example. It is estimated that it is up to ten years.
The sky can divert water into the lake."
Dongfang Jing laughed when he heard this: "Although these monsters have not yet developed their minds, it is actually more efficient as long as there are knowledgeable people at the top to direct them. People, if they have too many thoughts, it will be difficult to control them. Command thousands of monsters to do it.
This kind of hard work of digging in the soil is fine, but if you want to command thousands of monks to do this kind of thing, I don't know when I will see it."
After handing over the project to General Lei Shan, Zhao Ran left the site. He couldn't stay here all the time. He also had an important job, which was to dig wells in various villages.
In the nearest village, Zhao Ran walked in with people shouting from the front and back. He was leading the elders and wealthy households in the village in front, followed by hundreds of villagers, who all kowtowed to Zhao Ran.
Amidst the shouts of "Daozhang Zhao will enjoy eternal blessings", Zhao Ran couldn't help but tremble in his heart, frowned and asked: "What does this mean?"
Na Zheng stepped forward with an apologetic smile and reported: "I heard that the immortal sacrificed three years of his life in order for everyone to survive this year's drought safely. All the young and old in the village were moved to tears. No, he spontaneously came over to pay homage to him.
The Taoist priest worships and prays for the Taoist priest."
Zhao Ran said sullenly: "Don't do these nonsense in the future."
There was an old man there, he promised everything, but he still did what he had to do next. The elder stepped forward to toast and said a word of thanks on behalf of the villagers, and then several young children in the village jumped around and sang two songs.
A nursery rhyme, the general idea is nothing more than words of praise for Taoist Zhao.
Then the two big men in the village set up the stove, cooked a big pot of rice, and stir-fried a big pot of vegetables. The Taoist priests invited from the Taoist temple performed a fasting ritual and started the foreplay for digging a well.
Although he knew that the fasting ceremony in front of him was of no use, Zhao Ran still waited patiently for all the agenda to be completed. Then, under the guidance of Li Zheng, he came to the southeast corner of the village and began to look around and select spots, preparing to continue digging holes.
