Chapter 159: Shuifu Mountain Ye Lu refuted Huang Jinju's words without saying a word...
Ye Lu refuted the golden orange's words without even opening his mouth, because what this strange plant said was right.
Ye Lu didn't dare to imagine how attractive the golden oranges would be to the caravans when they were really ripe, and how many mysterious beads they would bring to him. Unfortunately, he probably wouldn't be able to see it, because this time he had already prepared the share of the golden oranges for Zhu Hui.
There was a hint of regret in Ye Lu's eyes.
Wait...it's not impossible, an idea came to Ye Lu's mind. He paused and decided to wait until the Zhuhui Caravan arrived.
Huang Jinjue hummed twice with satisfaction.
Instead, Ye Lu said calmly: "You still have 120 years left, and you are still far from maturity." Seeing that Huang Jinju was very happy, Ye Lu didn't say anything. He just tapped it lightly. He couldn't let it get too complacent. The last time Huang Jinju was too jumpy, it almost killed itself.
"Aren't there still so many remains of strange plants in Wanyao Valley?" Huang Jinju muttered a few words. Of course, when Ye Lu looked at it again, it immediately admitted defeat and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I know that these remains of strange plants cannot be used up. The strange plants and the remains of strange plants also need to match each other. If the matching degree is not enough, they cannot be ripened."
Seeing that Huang Jinju knew what he meant, Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's good that you know."
"So what are you going to do next? Are you going to play Tandi?" Huang Jinju saw that the master didn't seem angry, so after admitting defeat, he immediately looked up and asked curiously.
"Almost." Ye Luyan said concisely.
"What, what did you know? Tell me?" Huang Jinju asked curiously.
"You'll know when the time comes." Ye Lu didn't seem to want to continue explaining.
Ye Lu and the other two were not in a hurry to go to Tandi. Firstly, the ghost scholar had not yet found all the clues. He had also found a clue, and it would probably take some time. Secondly, the main mountain was not enough, so they had to clear the second mountain, the Shuifu Mountain under the name of the ghost scholar.
Strictly speaking, Shuifu Mountain is only slightly steeper than Chongshan Mountain. The whole mountain is surrounded by water vapor and is lush and green. Many ancient trees are very lush. From such a distance, you can still see animals from time to time, and occasionally monkeys cry in the woods. This is the result of many times of clearing by people.
What if there were more strange beasts appearing before?
"Master Taoist, now that everything has been cleared this time, do we need to clear Ercheng Mountain as well?" Ye Lu and the other two stood halfway up Chongshan Mountain. The three mountains were not far away. Shuifu Mountain was the mountain under the name of the ghost scholar, and the mountain under the name of Ximingren was Ercheng Mountain. Among the three mountains, Ercheng Mountain had the most rugged terrain.
Ye Lu looked at Ercheng Mountain. This mountain was at the outermost part, closest to the continuous mountain range of forbidden rocks outside. Then he shook his head and said, "No, it's not needed for the time being. We just need to make sure that no powerful weird things suddenly appear on Ercheng Mountain. Otherwise, when we finish cleaning it up now, the weeds will grow again soon, and it will be a waste of effort."
The ghost scholar nodded. He had similar ideas to Ye Lu.
The ghost scholar lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "The mountain is too big. The three of us cannot clean it up in a short time. We can ask the people at the foot of the mountain to help."
While speaking, the ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu and said, "Master Taoist, you gave us too much white millet last time, and the village elders are still thinking about how to return it." Although the village elders knew that it was Ye Lu's kindness, this is how human relations are, there must be give and take.
"Tell me? Tell me? Let me see what you think?" Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar and said.
The ghost scholar spoke his thoughts frankly: "Ask Fourth Uncle He. I guess he will throw all the kids in the village who have just awakened their talents up here. Although clearing the mountains is not a big deal, it can give these kids some training, and they don't need to be paid. When they clear the tea vines, they can take away all the remaining branches."
It must be said that the ghost scholar's words gave Ye Lu a lot of inspiration.
Now that I think about it, it seems to be right. I haven't paid attention to it for a while, and the branches of the tea vine have grown more and more wildly. It's time to clean them up.
In fact, what the ghost scholar said was not wrong. When Ye Lugang told He Sijiu about clearing the mountains, Sijiu agreed immediately and asked very straightforwardly: "Any requirements? Do you want someone who has just awakened?"
"If you want." Ye Lu nodded. Clearing the mountains was not difficult, but climbing the mountains required a certain amount of physical strength. Generally speaking, the physical strength of the awakened talents of the weirdos was much better than that of ordinary people. As for the combat power, with Chongshan and the other two there, it would not be a problem for these little kids to take action.
"Fourth uncle, there are many children who have awakened their talents in the past few years." Seeing Fourth Uncle He's satisfied expression, Ye Lu couldn't help but ask curiously.
During that period, all the children whose talents were awakened by Ye Lu were treated like treasures by the villagers.
"Yes, there is only one baby in this batch who has not awakened. It's okay. If he eats strange food for a few more years, he will be able to awaken a low-level talent." Fourth Uncle He nodded and said. He Village has indeed become visibly wealthy in recent years. No matter how poor the families in the village are, they can have a few meals of Baiyou-level strange food.
But awakening talent is one thing, and whether one can become a true trickster depends on talent and luck.
When Ye Lu told Uncle He Si at that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that there were just a few more kids than they had at that time. But when he actually saw the group of little kids behind Uncle He Si, his eyebrows jumped and he couldn't help but look at them from beginning to end.
This is too small.
Indeed, every doll is filled with strange power all over its body. No matter how much strange power it is, at least every doll has it. This is indeed an awakened talent.
"So many?" Ye Lu said in surprise. The key point is the number. There are almost twenty of them. In the past, Hecun would never have dared to think about it.
"Not many. Liu Xiaocao and the others have officially joined the guard team. Otherwise, there would be more people waiting here." Liu Xiaocao is the little girl who awakened her combat talent. She has now officially graduated from Hecun's doll team and joined Hecun's guard team.
Most of the kids were between eight and thirteen or fourteen years old. They were all born in the past few years, so they could see Ye Lu seldom. Especially in the past few years, Ye Lu almost always stayed on the top of the mountain and never went down.
"This is your Uncle Lu." After Fourth Uncle He finished talking to Ye Lu, he lowered his head and spoke to the little kids below.
The little kids were all of different shapes and sizes, and most of them had a hint of curiosity in their eyes. They had long been curious about this mysterious uncle who had been living in the mountains.
The village elders also said that the white millet distributed to them recently was given by Uncle Lu. They couldn't help but feel curious. They saw many strange plants along the way, and each strange plant was beyond their understanding in their small world.
"Fourth uncle, are these young kids okay? Should we wait until they are older?" Ye Lu couldn't help but ask his fourth uncle as he looked at the shorter children.
"It's okay, the adults are helping out in the front. Don't worry, these kids are much better at farming than you." When he said this, Fourth Uncle He looked at his nephew with a smile. Everyone in He Village, young and old, have been doing farm work since they were young, needless to say, and in the whole He village, only his nephew knows a little about farming because he has been sick since he was a child.
"You don't have to tell them. If it doesn't work, they will retreat on their own. The guys in the guard team will take them out to play from time to time." Fourth Uncle He raised his hand to interrupt Ye Lu's remaining words and motioned for Ye Lu to continue watching. These little kids are really smart.
Sure enough, the children's soldiers were more agile than Ye Lu had expected.
The playful people were in front chopping down the strongest trees blocking the way or clearing out the monkeys coming down from the trees. Occasionally, there were strange beasts jumping out from the side, all of which were killed by the dominoes. When the little kids saw that there was going to be a fight, they decisively did not step forward, but quietly hid aside and watched the playful people standing in the front.
After the dust settled, everyone moved as quickly as nimble little monkeys to carry back the fallen strange plants and corpses of strange beasts.
Then hand it over to younger children to sort it out.
The tree trunks that can be left will be left, and those that cannot be left will be burned. The weeds that have been cleared will also be burned and buried on the spot.
It's obvious that he has done it countless times.
In about a day, Shuifu Mountain was cleared into its rough shape.
What Ye Lu was considering was to plant strange plants, not millet fields, so there was no large-scale tree felling to build fields. On the contrary, most of the time he cleared out the weeds and small trees growing everywhere, especially the small trees. As long as they were not particularly precious seedlings, Ye Lu would generally clear them away. Other than that, there were only those old trees.
As long as these ancient trees do not take up too much space, Ye Lu will not move them. There is no need. He only needs to roughly cultivate the empty space he has cleared. Then the medicine rabbits will throw the fertilizer they have made into the ground. After a period of time, these planting fields can be planted.
This way, cleaning is quicker.
"Uncle Lu, we have completely cleared this mountain." When the last bit of weeds were burned and buried in the soil, and the surrounding fields were roughly plowed, the child soldiers gathered together to discuss for a while, until they sent out a little fat boy who looked mischievous.
The fat boy's surname is Song. He has some connection with the doctor in the village and knows a lot of things. He is usually popular among the kids. This time, he also stood up.
Because of his family heritage, the little fat man also knew a lot of good things. He also contributed a lot during the cleanup this time. He said: "In addition to this, we also found water-leaving grass, Fuling vegetables, bran fruit... some wild fruits with strange powers, a total of 23 pieces."
What we are talking about here is not strange food, but food with a little strange power, which can be regarded as semi-strange food. Some ordinary plants are contaminated with some strange power due to some coincidences. The strange power permeates the branches. If that branch is luckier, it will bloom and bear fruit, and the fruits produced are these semi-strange foods.
These plants cannot become strange plants. If these semi-strange foods are not picked as soon as possible, the strange power contained in the fruits will slowly dissipate over time.
"It's a pity that we didn't find the seeds of the strange plant." The little fat man looked a little depressed when he said the last part.
"You can take these wild fruits back with you and share them." Ye Lu was not interested in these fruits which were not even at the Baiyou grade. He did not even like the Baiyou grade white millet, let alone these wild fruits.
"As for the strange plants..." Ye Lu was amused by the fat man's words, and said in a helpless tone: "Strange plants are not so easy to find." At least Ye Lu himself did not hold out hope.
Song Zitian, the little fat boy, knew that what Uncle Lu said was right, but he couldn't help but think too much. His parents always said how great Uncle Lu was, so he naturally thought that since Uncle Lu was so great, the place where Uncle Lu lived must be the most powerful as well.
The little fat boy nodded seriously, accepting this cruel reality.
When the little kids nearby heard what Ye Lu said, they immediately cheered, "Yeah, they ate fruit!" All the little faces couldn't help but smile.
When the little fat boy heard the cheers of his companions, he turned around and quickly joined the children.
Just as the children were excitedly preparing to go down the mountain with wild fruits in their arms, Ye Lu called out to them and asked, "Did you bring the tea vines? Don't waste your day."
"Yes, I brought it. I gave it to Uncle Xu in exchange for the Ghost Pearl at noon!" The little kids nodded with a smile and said excitedly: "Uncle Xu also gave us white millet to eat."
After hearing this, Ye Lu finally felt relieved.
With a wave of hand.
The group of little kids jumped and chased each other down the mountain.
