Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Lü Zhi takes the initiative
During the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, there was indeed a very famous white snake. It was Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, who killed the white snake and started an uprising.
Zhu Dan tried hard to recall the whole story. It seemed that Liu Bang sent prisoners to Mount Li, but he released them and fled to a place called Mangdang Mountain, where he encountered a white snake.
It is said that the fact that Lu Zhi went into the mountains to bring him food was also quite mysterious.
How did Lu Zhi find Liu Bang in the vast mountains?
——Liu Bang had a special fate. When Lu Zhi looked up at the sky, she saw that wherever the clouds gathered in the sky was where Liu Bang was.
Zhu Dan suddenly turned around and looked at the mountain behind her. This piece of land was right at the foot of the mountain. She calmed herself down and asked Lu Zhi, who was standing there in a daze, "What is the name of this mountain?"
"Mangdang Mountain." Although Lu Zhi didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, she answered quickly.
"It's true." Zhu Dan's expression became indescribable.
Why do you need this white snake?
Originally, she advised Zhengge to postpone the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Lishan Mountain. After all, she was there and His Majesty still had many years to live. It would be better to use the manpower and material resources for building the mausoleum on infrastructure.
After she arrived in Pei County, she made use of the waste materials and let the prisoners and the remnants of the six kingdoms who were captured to open up the wasteland together.
If Liu Bang had not let the prisoner escape, he would not have hidden in Mangdang Mountain. If he had not hidden in Mangdang Mountain, he would not have encountered the white snake, and naturally he would not have wanted to kill it for no reason.
As a result, Liu Bang did not provoke the white snake, but the white snake came to him on its own.
Zhu Dan was speechless.
But now that the white snake is in her hands, she doesn't want to let it go.
Of course, she would not be as wasteful as Liu Bang and kill the white snake directly. This is a spiritual object that can enhance the spiritual energy in the soil!
Zhu Dan thought that the white snake could be used as a burrowing earthworm to cultivate the entire experimental field.
"Tangyuan, I'm sorry to bother you with this," Zhu Dan instructed her. "We don't know how intelligent this white snake is. Try your best to communicate with it. If communication doesn't work, then scare it away and make it do what we want."
Win-win cooperation is naturally the best choice, but if the other party is unruly, then you have to be a little ruthless.
At this time, Zhu Dan had no sympathy for small animals. She was a human being, and the humans she came into contact with might be good or bad, but she was not disappointed with the human race.
Her butt is on the side of humans. If the White Snake has a way to improve farming efficiency, she must not let it go.
"Master, don't worry, I will make her obedient." Tangyuan said gritting his teeth.
She had never suffered such a great loss before, and she had to get revenge on this white snake.
Even Wutong said, "My inheritance contains some secret methods for making contracts with weapon spirits. I'll see if I can modify them on the spot."
Zhu Dan also has secret techniques, but the world of cultivation is different from the Qin Dynasty, so they cannot be copied completely.
It is naturally a good thing that Wutong is willing to help. He has dealt with the Heavenly Dao of this world and is more experienced than Zhu Dan in this area.
In fact, the weak and helpless white snake who can understand some people's words: "..."
These humans are too cruel! It was furious!
The white snake wanted to resist and rush out directly, but unexpectedly, the little dragon of luck that was hovering above the alchemy cauldron suddenly shook its tail, and a golden force fell on the white snake.
The white snake was stunned and stopped moving in an instant.
Zhu Dan also noticed this unusual thing: "Tangyuan?"
Tangyuan didn't quite understand the situation, so Wutong spoke up: "Daoyou, it's settled. Heaven is on our side."
Zhu Dan blinked.
The white snake's pupils, which had been stunned in the spiritual consciousness, moved, and big tears appeared. Then a drop of blood emerged from the white snake's body and flew towards Zhu Dan's eyebrows.
Zhu Dan frowned slightly and was about to dodge away.
Wutong reminded her: "This is the contract you want. It is actively making a contract with you."
Zhu Dan then stood still, letting the drop of blood fly into her forehead. She felt that she had a little more connection with the white snake, and then the voice of a little boy crying loudly was heard.
Zhu Dan: “…” She actually felt a little guilty for bullying a child!
But after a while, the child still cried non-stop, and Zhu Dan's patience quickly disappeared: "Hey, don't cry, I just want you to do some work, tell me what you need, and if I can find it, I will do my best to help you find it."
Her expression was grim, and she wasn't softened at all by the crying.
The White Snake felt more and more aggrieved, but still sobbed and told the truth.
As he listened to its story, Zhu Dan's expression became subtle.
The lucky little dragon actually told it the fate of the white snake!
The white snake knew that it was destined to be killed by a human. In comparison, working for another human became the best choice.
This is the way of heaven... Zhu Dan thought, it's quite similar to himself, too lazy to slowly coax the child, so he just directly stated the facts.
Although it was a bit cruel, at least it was resolved quickly.
Spring planting was about to begin, and Zhu Dan really wasn't in the mood to take her time.
This quick and decisive solution to the problem actually made Zhu Dan feel a little soft-hearted towards the white snake. Thinking about its ability to gather spiritual energy, Zhu Dan was afraid that it was not short of spiritual energy. So Zhu Dan transferred some unrefined luck to it: "Okay, stop crying."
"You cultivate slowly on your own, and we don't know when you will grow up. Work for me, and I will distribute spiritual power to you according to your merit."
Bound by the contract, Zhu Dan is not afraid that it will become too powerful and turn against him.
Although the white snake can suddenly turn into a huge python, that is just a technique it uses to scare its enemies. It is actually very young and is still a child.
The white snake didn't take Zhu Dan's suggestion of giving it benefits seriously, but when the golden luck fell on it, it was stunned for a moment.
The White Snake is a spiritual creature, but its life is very hard in the Dharma-Ending Age. Its appearance is more to set off Liu Bang, the son of destiny.
Although it is a spiritual creature, it is very miserable.
Even if spiritual energy could be gathered, it would be pitifully little, let alone such pure power of luck.
And for some reason, when this good fortune fell upon it, it felt a genuine sense of security, as if the sword of death that had been hanging over its head had shifted away.
Through inherited memories, the White Snake knows that beings like herself must go through tribulations.
It is even more unlucky and miserable. It was born in the Dharma-Ending Age. The fact that heaven and earth can allow it to live is just a waste of waste. The so-called tribulation is aimed at taking its life.
Its luck was extremely low, but Zhu Dan's arrival changed everything.
Therefore, looking at Zhu Dan and Tang Yuan who trapped her, the hatred that was itching to bite her also faded a lot. The white snake stopped crying and asked aggrievedly: "What kind of work do you want me to do for you?"
Quite proactive, Zhu Dan thought. She liked subordinates with initiative like this. "It's not much. You should cultivate this piece of land for me first, and I'll observe."
The white snake was confused and the illiterate snake didn't understand.
Zhu Dan also knew that it was an uncivilized wild snake. Even if it had inherited memories, it was impossible for it to have been exposed to human knowledge. So he did not hesitate to teach it: "You, just burrow into the ground and crawl over every part of this land. Drill through those large lumps of soil and that's enough."
"Is that all?" The white snake was slightly stunned.
Zhu Dan laughed: "What else do you want to do? Murder and arson?"
She was joking, but Baishe obviously took it seriously. Zheng Taiyin said seriously: "Whoever you need to kill, I can go. Not only can I grow bigger and strangle the enemy, I also have poisonous fangs..."
"Stop it!" Zhu Dan gestured for a pause. "I have no grudge against anyone."
Because she had a grudge, she often took revenge herself.
Even in the world of cultivation, she achieved the status of Dan Emperor, and those old immortals who plotted against her were all killed by her.
Her record in the Qin Dynasty was very clean: "Let's be more peaceful and stop shouting for war and killing."
The White Snake felt a little aggrieved: "But you said before that I..."
Zhu Dan coughed forcefully. "Before, I treated you as an enemy, so naturally I was as cruel as a cold winter. Now we are friends, so let's not talk about the past."
"Go get to work. Don't underestimate this job. Seriously, it's a lot of work."
The white snake was tricked into working, and its spiritual consciousness followed it into the land. Zhu Dan wiped the sweat from his head. Fortunately, although the white snake was serious, it was still young and easy to fool.
She herself wasn't very good at it.
Technical workers are generally straightforward, and all conflicts in interpersonal relationships can be resolved by improving their skills.
"I don't know if my guess is correct. If it is, how much can the spiritual energy be improved..." When it came to serious matters, Zhu Dan's face became serious.
She watched the white snake plow the land and found that the spiritual energy increased by about 5%. This number was really not much and those who were not so sensitive would not be able to notice it.
But don’t forget that the spiritual energy of this land is originally higher than that of other places, not to mention that the spiritual energy of Pei County carries a vibrant force.
Zhu Dan watched as the seedlings in the field became more energetic after the little white snake plowed the land. He couldn't help but think of the bountiful harvest scene in the simulation: "Perhaps one day, soybeans will become as big as grapes."
Zhu Dan made a record. She wanted to see how long the spiritual energy of this land could last.
In the next few days, Zhu Dan took the white snake to run through all the experimental fields to confirm that the spiritual energy was brought by the white snake, and not because it was close to Liu Bang's home.
However, she felt a little regretful. After the improvement of 5%, even if the white snake stayed in the ground every day, it could only improve by 1% at most. It became more and more difficult to move up.
As time goes by, the spiritual energy in the ground is also depleted, and 6% is the limit for the white snake.
Zhu Dan touched the white snake. It felt cool and comfortable, without the damp feeling of reptiles, so it was not unpleasant.
She fed the white snake another large ball of luck and muttered, "I don't know if this is the limitation of the Dharma Ending Age, or if you are too young. I hope it's the latter."
After all, the latter can still be changed, but Zhu Dan has no idea how to change the former situation by himself.
Even though everything she is doing now is to change the fate of the Qin Dynasty, the two are ultimately different.
Zhu Dan had never farmed before, so she didn't know much about the growth of crops. She could only deal with some external conditions.
However, if she can't do it herself, she won't try to be stubborn and will actively ask the old farmer.
Although they had never seen many of the seeds here before, some things were similar. Comparing them with the simulation, Zhu Dan was very sure that even if the soybeans could not grow as big as grapes, they would not be too bad.
This year will surely be a bumper harvest.
I am very satisfied.
This satisfaction was very tolerant towards the people who brought the result, such as Li Si who brought the Nirvana Pill, Xiahou Ying who brought the Seedling Pill, as well as the White Snake, Lu Zhi and a group of old farmers. She gave them all rewards.
It deeply interprets what it means that as long as you work hard for me, I will never let you suffer any loss.
Lü Zhi returned home carrying a large bag. Liu Ji happened to be there and came forward to help her. He asked, "What did you buy at the market? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Did I tell you to come and help me carry it?" Lu Zhi sneered.
Liu Ji smiled awkwardly. This woman's temper had become worse since she started working for the Imperial Master. "Then I will definitely carry it for you. If I can't do it, don't I still have my brothers? They are all capable."
Lu Zhi felt that it was unnecessary for her to say all this. Liu Ji had always been shameless. It would be better to wait for his next life than to expect him to have dignity.
"I didn't buy this in the market. It was a reward from the Imperial Master."
"The Imperial Master is giving out rewards? What good day is today?" Liu Ji was curious. He hadn't heard Widow Cao say that.
Widow Cao cooks for the workers, so if she wants to give a reward, the kitchen will definitely be the first to know.
"Could it be the land planted by the national teacher?" Liu Ji's heart moved.
Lü Zhi nodded. "The Imperial Master brought some unprecedented seeds from Xianyang. Many of them I've never seen before, but the seedlings we moved from the room are all good."
"Because we'd never seen them before, the Imperial Master was also nervous. We were all worried we wouldn't be able to keep them alive, but unexpectedly, each seedling grew rapidly in the wind. The Imperial Master was very pleased, so he gave us all rewards." Lü Zhi said, her expression becoming a little subtle. "Xia Houying also got one."
As expected of a married couple, they both thought of the same thing. Liu Ji blurted out, "Is it because of the seedling-raising pill refined using his luck?"
Lu Zhi nodded, and the couple fell silent for a moment.
They didn't sleep well that night, and each knew what the other was thinking.
In the second half of the night, perhaps because he was tired or had finally figured it out, Liu Jixian felt that Lu Zhi's breathing gradually became even, and she had obviously fallen asleep.
He forced himself not to think about it anymore and closed his eyes.
Liu Ji has had less work to do recently, mainly because the people who were responsible for the new land have been trained and they don't have to be there to supervise them all the time. Therefore, it's okay for him to be a little lazy since he doesn't have enough energy.
However, Liu Ji was unwilling to do so. He was still hoping to perform well in front of the imperial teacher.
The next day, as the couple ate breakfast together, Liu Ji frequently glanced at Lü Zhi. Seeing her energetic and unwavering, her face clear of any hesitation, he felt a pang of fear, guessing she hadn't fallen asleep the previous night because she was sleepy, but had made up her mind.
When Lü Zhi put down her bowl and chopsticks and prepared to leave, he could no longer hold back and called out to her, "Madam, have you made up your mind? Don't you want to wait and see?"
"No need." Lu Zhi glanced at him. Since the decision had been made, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Lu Zhi soon arrived at the room where she usually worked. The workshop was built very quickly. The national teacher specially found a room for them to use as an office so that they had a place to stay. Lu Zhi learned from the national teacher and would make some records every night before going back.
The imperial teacher has arrived, and this has happened almost every day for the past two or three months. Thinking that she was doing this for the crops in the fields, Lu Zhi became more determined in her decision.
"National Master."
Zhu Dan didn't even look up, she was writing down her next plan: "Now that you're here, there's nothing special today, just the same old things."
"Master, I want to ask what kind of elixir I can make with my luck." Lu Zhi went straight to the point.
Zhu Dan looked up suddenly.
Lü Zhi smiled suddenly. "The Imperial Master took me very seriously the first time he saw me. It couldn't be for no reason, could it? I just thought that perhaps there was something about me besides my talent and beauty that the Imperial Master particularly admired."
She emphasized the word "special".
