After reuniting with Ji Zheng and others, Su Li began the work of measuring the water veins in Hexi and directing the digging of water wells.
At first, the people in these villages did not trust everyone, so Ji Zheng would even personally go into battle and dig a well with abundant water for the villagers together with his bodyguards.
On the other hand, Meng Zhi also changed his attitude as the villagers changed from indifference to excitement and enthusiasm. He later even asked his soldiers to dig water wells for Ji Zheng's house...
And probably to make a statement, he once even picked up a shovel and shoveled the soil ahead of Ji Zheng.
This proud general seemed to have finally been won over by Ji Zheng...but the technique of this palm was very clever. Ji Zheng didn't say anything but just did it, which already achieved the best effect.
And this is also the tone that Su Li set for Ji Zheng when he was "hidden in the abyss": talk less, do more.
It was under this tone that everything Ji Zheng did in Hexi County did not attract the attention of King Ba of Qin at all.
Although he was greeted by a heavy rain just after he arrived at the border of Hexi County, it was inevitable that people would complain about his bad luck.
But precisely because he did not perform outstandingly in this heavy rain, no one connected him with this heavy rain.
However, the young master known to the court had been leading his team to dig wells in villages in Hexi.
It was as if the most ordinary official in the Western Qin Dynasty was running around the countryside under the scorching sun, fading out of the sight of the nobles in the court, and making those at the top think that he had "corrected his position."
However, Gong Zizheng's virtuous reputation has truly spread among the people.
He worked diligently and diligently to solve the problems that the people needed to solve most. Therefore, there was no need for him to publicize it, and the people had already consciously spread the word for him.
This is also thanks to the fact that the governor of Hexi County has a higher eye than the top, otherwise the reporting of what happened in the countryside would probably attract some criticism again.
While Ji Zheng's reputation was spreading quietly, Su Li was also going through another period of pain in his life...
Every night he was invited to receive training from Xuan Su. This senior seemed to be just dealing with business matters, but in fact he was ruthless and didn't say much...
She didn't do anything to restrict Su Li's true energy, but directly created a freezing polar climate for him, allowing him to practice the Thousand-Light Sword Technique continuously in the freezing cold air she created.
At the same time, she continued to create sharp ice needles for harassment, forcing Su Li to use his sword as quickly as possible to resist in this environment.
"Quick, quick, quick! The sword must be as fast as a shower, so you have a chance to understand the sword intention of the shower rain, and then coupled with Xuan Han's true intention, you may be able to understand my Xuan Yu sword intention!"
At this time, Xuan Su no longer accepted the cold attitude before, but his expression was full of anxiety. He was like a fairy from the sky who fell into the mortal world...
As for the reason why this happened, Su Li realized the true meaning of Xuanhan within a week while sparring with her on the Xuanhan Qiangang Sword... Yes, it was another spell's true meaning.
So Xuan Su became as disbelieving as Xuan Yuzi before, and she began to think of ways to 'break off' Su Li back.
This is the current 'extreme training method'. She believes that under the ice needle attack with her sword intention, Su Li will definitely be able to understand something from it...
And then she really did it.
Su Li suddenly saw a thick black light flashing all over his body, and then those ice needles falling on his body seemed to be pulled by extreme gravity and quickly fell downwards.
Xuan Su stopped. She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief...
"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" she asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
Su Li replied with a tangled look on his face: "My true meaning of heavy weight has been upgraded just now... To describe it, it probably changed from the original 'heart weighing heavily' to the current 'heart weighing heavily'.
"
With a heavy heart, all dharmas will not invade you!
Su Li passively stacked armor without even thinking about it... This defense can definitely make opponents of the same level despair.
At this time, Xuan Su, who was his teacher, was really desperate... What she wanted to teach Su Li was Xuan Yu's sword intention! As a result, he learned Xuan Han's true meaning, and gave him Zhong Jun's true meaning after putting some pressure on him.
Updated a bit.
What else could she do?
"Can't you improve your swordsmanship a little bit? Even a little bit." Xuan Su sighed, feeling like he was about to give up treatment.
Su Li asked quietly: "Uncle Taishi, do you think there is hope for me in this life?"
Xuan Su choked up on the spot, she was a woman after all, and at this moment she actually felt sorry for this kid.
"It will be fine. I heard that there is a kind of heavenly and earthly treasure called the 'Sword Heart Thorn Fruit'. If you eat it, you can directly understand a kind of sword intent." Xuan Su immediately comforted him.
"I know this, but according to the climate and environment required for the growth of the 'Sword Heart Thorn Fruit' mentioned in "Return to the Treasure Mountains and Seas", it seems that they have become extinct in this East Continent." Su Li responded.
Xuan Su scratched his forehead in confusion and vomited in his heart: What is a little kid doing reading so many books?!
Then she said thoughtfully: "Although Eastern Continent is gone, the most fertile Central Continent must still be there."
"Thank you, Grand Master, for your comfort. I know you just want me to keep hope." Su Li smiled with a strong look on his face.
However, Xuan Su just wanted to punch him in the face...Since you know everything, you should tell me earlier, isn't this a joke!
Xuansu suddenly felt very angry again... The juniors in the sect also said that she had just woken up from the ice coffin and it would take some time to regain human consciousness.
This is absolutely a lie!
She feels like she has human consciousness now, and she just wants to beat someone up!
Su Li, who possesses merit and body protection, is indeed able to seek good luck and avoid evil. He seemed to feel some malice from somewhere, and naturally changed the topic...
"Uncle Taishi, the flood season in the Hexi region has now passed, and it looks like there will be a great harvest in autumn. I have decided to bid farewell to Ji Zheng and the others in two days and go to the place where great changes took place in the Tianli Mountains 1,400 years ago.
Check it out."
Xuan Su's attention was indeed attracted. She turned her head and thought for a moment before saying solemnly: "Then let me go with you."
"Strictly speaking, it is the responsibility of our generation. Since I am still here, there is no reason for you to go there alone."
"That's really the best." Su Li was not pretentious at all.
With a veteran like Xuan Su helping out, what else can he fear?
... Then when they set off, Xuan Su regretted it. She never thought that Su Li, a young monk who was almost fourteen years old, would already have a mount... The key is that the mount was a big dog!
Fortunately, the journey into the mountain was deserted, otherwise she felt that she would have entered death again due to her heavy karma.
