Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

People no longer needed to rely on ancestral worship or succumb to the oppression of the powerful, and could now freely support their families, pursue knowledge and progress. They participated in a series of activities such as animal husbandry, fishing, vegetable and fruit cultivation, textile and wood collection, boat building and construction. After the busy farming season, everyone had plenty of time to develop themselves and expand their lives.

During this period of time, Yu Yuan was not idle. He released Wuzhiqi and asked him to guide the spiritual energy of the Honghe River water. After a slight adjustment, the dragon god entered the spiritual energy cave. As this dragon of luck grew and expanded, the entire Huaihe River water flow area was also affected by this dragon. In the future, the human and natural resources in this area will be better developed and grown, and many elites will be welcomed in the short term.

In this way, Linhuan Town will have sufficient conditions for its future prosperity and growth. According to the prediction of the Fairy Purple Immortal, even if the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty still has a chance to be maintained in the next few decades, the Phoenix in the west and the Dragon in the east will continue to obtain the energy of heaven and earth from the Black Bird, growing stronger and stronger until they surpass the control of the Black Bird. This is part of Yu Yuan's Conferred God War plan.

Cultivation and business are closely integrated, and many disciples are closely related to big business, sharing the rise and fall, just like blood. The dispute between good and evil in the world of cultivation is not only a dispute over legal principles, but also a competition of luck.

It is crucial for a prosperous human dynasty to gather the source of humanity.

Thanks to the hard work of Jiejiao masters, the power of the Shang Dynasty became inseparable from the fortune of Jiejiao, and even reached an unprecedented peak. All the gods appeared, heralding the arrival of the prehistoric era.

The purpose of the Chan sect's support for the Zhou clan of Xiqi was to take advantage of the change of dynasty to suppress the Jie sect as much as possible.

All things in nature follow the law of cycles and are constantly iterating and renewing themselves. This is the core truth of the operation of the Way of Heaven.

The change of dynasties is inevitable.

If Jiejiao can break away from the Shang Dynasty in time, it will reduce the loss of some luck. If it insists on keeping this foundation and refuses to let go, it will go against the laws of nature and the principles of Taoism.

No matter what decision they make, they will ultimately not escape the fate of being liquidated in the disaster.

But now, Yu Yuan has opened up a new opportunity.

When conditions are ripe, the ** in the Shang Dynasty can directly transfer camps and seamlessly connect from the declining dynasty to the thriving new regime.

At that time, not only were these people not punished, but they were key talents worthy of reward in the new dynasty and continued to be valued. The destiny of mankind was still inseparable from the Jiejiao.

The four major factions can only watch and act, unable to change the status quo.

Of course, all this is based on the assumption that everything goes well.

When it comes to actual operation, there will definitely be many difficulties.

When facing its most deadly rival, Xiqi, it would certainly not want to see Linhuan Pass gradually rise.

But this doesn't require too much thought at the moment.

What Yu Yuan urgently needs to solve now is how to promote the rapid and vigorous development of Linhuan Pass.

During this period, he was busy again, inventing various tools, including saws, rulers, drills, and ink fountains, and he resumed casting unit measuring instruments, such as rulers, jars, buckets, and scales.

At present, Linhuan Pass and even the entire Dashang have not formed a complete set of standard units. The understanding of length, capacity and quality often comes from the understanding of the human body.

For example, one palm is called a ruler, and the one held in one hand is called a spoon...

This understanding is relatively vague and non-standardized. So Yu Yuan decided to cast standard unit measuring tools and clearly define their respective specifications. All the tools made are not classified as magical tools, but they are eternal and extremely accurate. They are worshipped by civilians as sacred objects, and similar tools are copied and used on this basis.

Periodic verification is always carried out by comparing with the unit vessels cast by Yu Yuan and repairing them accordingly.

News came from Zitong Pass that another group of wanderers had migrated to this distant place with their families. Their clothes were faded and tattered, and their faces were full of traces of hunger and hard work. Facing these scenes, Wen Zhong did not hesitate or reject them at all, but accepted them with great enthusiasm, and even took out his own tax grain to solve their basic living needs.

Although there are still countless undeveloped wastelands along the road to Zitong Pass in the south, it doesn't matter if there are more new residents. As long as there is enough time and appropriate methods, the problem can be solved slowly. What they are worried about is whether they can survive the most difficult period.

Moreover, Linhuanguan has abundant water resources and rich natural resources. Even without too much pressure, residents can still obtain the materials they need for survival through fishing, ** or gathering. Throughout history, human beings have developed by constantly overcoming various challenges to survival.

After learning about Wen Zhong's generous rescue of outsiders, the people of the surrounding Chengguan ethnic group put aside their doubts and gradually followed their families to migrate to Zitong Pass. It seems that no matter what era, humans always habitually seek security and stability from the behavior of others. As the migration team continued to expand, those who were originally hesitant began to feel restless and joined them on the road of migration.

As time went by, people found that living on this land was much easier than they had imagined. Although they did not need to offer sacrifices to the gods in exchange for stability, it could guarantee good weather, fertile soil, and the joy of a bumper harvest at an astonishing rate every year - this was the fundamental reason why Zitong Pass attracted a large number of people.

……

on the other hand,

In the mountains thousands of miles southeast of Zitong Pass, a mountain temple that was once magnificent and majestic is now reduced to ruins and scattered stones among the ruins.

The moonlight sprinkled on the broken stones, which looked even more desolate and sad in the dark environment. A leopard quickly crossed the narrow path, and shuttled through the mountains and forests like a hurricane. Soon, it reached the halfway point of the hillside.

The place where the dilapidated temple was located was no longer a sacred place, but scattered debris, broken walls and ruined statues. A faint snoring sound was faintly heard in the air, echoing in this desolate place.

The leopard's body suddenly changed into a human form. A Taoist-like figure wearing a yellow robe stood on the ruins, looking at everything below. With a flick of his finger, the broken fragments swirled and floated in the air.

"That's exactly what happened."

He muttered to himself, his voice a little dry and hoarse.

Then, he took out a jade lotus petal that was emitting a faint glow from his robe.

The lotus petals floated down lightly, and a calm but firm voice slowly emanated from them: "Any new discoveries?"

"The temple has collapsed, the golden statue has shattered into pieces, the soul of the god has perished... The mountain god on Mount Shan has also fallen." The Taoist's voice responded calmly.

"Disaster is about to befall the world. Immortals and mortals will be equal. The death of gods will be like dust!"

The jade lotus floated in the air, emitting a low but powerful sound. Then, the Taoist continued: "This situation cannot continue like this."

"During the period when the human cultivators ruled, I did not have many disputes with them. I only protected the honor of the gods."

"But now he has begun to hunt gods crazily!" The Taoist said excitedly.

"If I let him go on like this, the kingdom of God that I have worked so hard to build may collapse in his hands in an instant!" The Taoist's tone was full of vigilance and worry.

That day, Li Shusheng came up with a plan and said in a low voice: "Since you have ordered me to do so, I will go to Longyin Island in person and solve the problem completely by tomorrow night at the earliest!"

Li Shusheng had long coveted the power called Longyin Island in his mind, and was even more eager for the mysterious martial spirit on the island, but the Pavilion Master had been reluctant to allow him to take action. Now that he heard that the Pavilion Master had this idea, he took the initiative to accept the task without hesitation.

“We don’t have to do it!”

A cold and chilling voice came from the depths of the green bamboo: "I remember a rule. If you want to cut off the root of this dragon - the power behind Longyuan God General. You must rely on their former enemies to accomplish this. The Jiejiao in the Qinghai Mountains in the East China Sea not far away is one of them. Go with the image of Longyuan God General to ask for support!"

A hint of confusion passed through the ears of the Yellow-shirted Taoist. He seemed to not understand why he had to spend so much effort just to deal with a martial spirit realm expert? But he could not have expected that the Pavilion Master in front of him was not the Pavilion Master he once knew. The newly born Lotus Seed Child had all his previous memories.

He knew that the so-called "Longyuan God General" might have a bigger secret behind him, so he did not have any conflicts with him over the years, and even pretended that he had never heard of it.

The identity of this martial spirit master has not been confirmed, but in order to avoid causing more disputes, he chose to endure temporarily to ensure that the two places can live in peace and not disturb each other's living environment.

But recently, this martial soul realm named "Longyuan God General" began to kill people and publicly exposed the evil deeds of the gods. Although his power is relatively small, his actions have caused ordinary people to hate the gods, seriously damaged the energy supply chain of religious beliefs, and threatened the underlying infrastructure.

In the past few months, the amount of copper and charcoal in the entire region has dropped sharply by half. After people learned that there is a place where they can enjoy good weather and avoid disasters (assuming that Longyin Island can really meet this description), it is difficult to place the emotions of respect and sacrifice above the gods.

Although Qing Liantong, one of the pavilion masters, originally did not want to add more trouble, the current situation has forced him to take counterattack measures. Otherwise, the kingdom of gods that he has carefully constructed would probably quickly collapse due to the enemy's offensive!

"Let the enemies of Jiejiao come forward. We will enjoy the fruits of victory behind the scenes!"

-

The morning dew gradually dissipated, and the first rays of morning sun illuminated the empty temple. At this time, Lingxier had naturally chosen to sit in front of the temple where people were gradually sparsely populated to meditate.

She knew that Yu Yuan had been busy lately, planning some bizarre projects with Wen Zhong. He often stayed out for days and nights, and she got used to it.
