Cub Nursery

"The soil and rocks in the world are all the same, especially the stones. The various types can be clearly distinguished." Yan Xun took out the soil dug from the ground of the demon country, and handed it to the flower tree cub, saying, "It looks like Ore, even if some experienced master craftsmen don’t understand it, they can tell it apart after a few glances.”

"That's right." The flame cub leaned over and stared at the glass box in the flower tree cub's paw, "I've seen some ores a lot, and after smelling them, I can tell what kind of ore it is and what its content is by shaking it in my hand." How much."

The ability of Flame Cubs is to heat up. At the beginning, the small stove was too simple, the temperature was not enough, and no coal was found. Some ores could not be melted at all. of steel.

He has helped raise the temperature more times, and he has been exposed to more iron ore. The flame cub is very confident now, and he can estimate how much iron juice can be burned by giving him a piece of ore.

Yan Xun stepped forward to open the cabinet, took out round glass boxes one after another, and helped the flower tree cubs dispose of the soil they brought back.

"Look at the concentration of microorganisms inside." Yan Xun handed the processed glass box to the flame cub.

The huge and complex microscope placed against the wall has been turned on, and the flame cub is close to the front lens, observing carefully.

After a while, he said: "No, it needs to be cultivated. The magnification of the microscope is still not enough, but if it is further magnified, the light in the room will not be enough. Candles and oil lamps cannot be used casually."

"Demon Lantern!" Suddenly, Flame Cub and Yan Xun said at the same time.

"This is not easy, we need to study it further." Yan Xun rubbed his chin and said, "The demon lamp will also generate heat when it is lighted with metal wire. If you can find a demon lamp that does not heat up, it will definitely work. What do you think of the gas? ?”

The flower tree cub was thoughtful, "The air is too complicated, it is not easy to separate. And...we have only researched a few ways to make gas, and we have tried it, but none of them can emit light..."

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​Yan Xun said hastily.

The soil that Yan Xun and Jing Feng took from the outer city wall at first is still being researched, and the cubs have observed through the microscope that they have recorded densely packed thick paper.The content inside may be wrong, but the cubs are confident that most of them must be right.

"Most of the microbes in the surface soil of the border town and the border of the demon country are similar. There is not much difference." Yan Xun thought thoughtfully, "The only difference between the border town and the border of the demon country is the outer city wall."

Thousands of years ago, there was no outer city wall. At that time, the distinction between humans and demons was not so clear.

But now, the outer city wall protects Daqin and isolates the demon country, allowing the military households and Taoist soldiers in the border towns to slightly resist the demon poison of the demon country.It was just a wall, at first Yan Xun didn't think there was anything unusual about such a tall outer city wall, but now he had to consider the most incredible possibility.

"The outer city wall soars up into the clouds, and goes down so deep that it is impossible to dig through." Yan Xun said, "Although the huge stone outside the outer city wall weighs ten thousand catties, the stone material is not unusual. As for the inside..."

not detectable.

As far as the methods that Yan Xun can think of, and the methods that the little cubs can think of, they have all been used.

The extremely thick outer city wall can only figure out the boulders outside. There is no way to know what is inside or if there is nothing.

The big river that rushes into the border town, turns sharply not far from the outer city wall, and turns back to the border town may also be because of the outer city wall.

"A secret that hasn't been clarified yet." The flower tree cub took out a piece of paper and slowly wrote these words.

Xie Ranshu came to boil medicine again.

There are still priceless medicinal materials in the wooden box, and there is still a piece of Guiyuan Green Ganoderma lucidum.

He was already numb.

"Xie Qianhu, why are you cooking medicine again?" The Taoist soldier was called to chop firewood and make a fire. He thought he was helping to cook, so he came excitedly, only to see the familiar Xie Qianhu, the familiar tripod, and the familiar firewood.

"Thank you Qianhu, isn't it cooking?"

"I thought it was cooking and asked us to be fire fighters."

"Hey, the life in the border town is not too hard. The food is better than our capital camp. I heard that besides eating well, the Taoist soldiers in the border town often have canned hair. I just eat canned braised pork Once, it was really delicious.”

"What? You just ate one? I ate two. I plan to save up the rest and take them home for my mother to taste."

"I don't know where Master Yan got so many cans of braised pork. I heard that this time I brought back a whole train... how many pigs would I have to kill?"

"Master Yan has a workshop dedicated to raising pigs, don't you know? I heard that the pigs there are very delicious, and there are special people to take care of them on weekdays. They live comfortably and grow fat quickly."

The Taoist soldiers were different from the last time, they came here for a while to cook good medicine, and when they came back, they asked someone about Yan Xun about the camp in the border town, this inquiry was not important, but it opened their eyes.

Xie Ran watched them expressionless in writing, and then said, "It's a good medicine."

"Huh? Seriously? Isn't that good medicine enough to take care of it once, or even if it's not good, you have to take care of it for several days."

"That's right, do we Dao soldiers who don't even have a chance to come out of the outer city wall want to drink?"

Xie Ranshu's face was a little distorted. The wooden box in his arms was priceless, but the key was that it was about to be boiled into a good medicine. "Everyone get up and work! Doctor Xiaohua said that this time there are mostly tonics, and it will be good to drink."

"Is there still tomorrow?" Dao Bing asked.

"Yes. Tomorrow, I will only use Guiyuan green ganoderma to make medicine, at least two." Xie Ran said expressionlessly.

Several Taoist soldiers were silent.

They have already inquired about the value of Guiyuan Green Ganoderma lucidum, and as Taoist soldiers in the capital camp, they know the value of this thing in the capital.

However, in the border town, Yan Xun not only took out Guiyuan green ganoderma without blinking his eyes, even the Taoist soldiers in the border town camp could exchange for Yuanlu ganoderma through military exploits. Compared with the capital camp, what else is there in the capital camp?A dude with poor cultivation for eating, drinking and having fun?

"I really envy them." You Daobing said.

"The big camp in the border town is very dangerous, and you can go to the battlefield at any time, and you might die." A Taoist soldier said while squatting in front of the stove to fill firewood, "But there is Guiyuan Green Ganoderma lucidum and money subsidies. I can come to visit relatives. If this is the case, I am willing to come no matter how dangerous it is.”

As for those power positions and so on, they are all gods fighting, and these little Taoist soldiers don't go back and care so much, as long as they have the opportunity to climb up and make themselves live better, that's enough.

Xie Ranshu remained silent. His talent and cultivation level are not low. He is Xie Qianhu in Daying, the capital. The Xie family became an independent existence.

However, even so, he still felt that the camp in the border town was better.

When the soup was ready, Xie Ranshu sent it out in person.

Concrete roads were built in the border town, and demon lanterns were lit on the roadsides, and the lights were brightly lit at night.

Occasionally, a Taoist soldier gallops past on an iron donkey, there must be an urgent mission.

There are neat concrete buildings, and occasionally you can see old people sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun. They are all wearing thick jackets and looking cheerfully at the soldiers on the road.

There are no beggars in the border towns, because as long as they are people, they can find work.

Military households in border towns have been working to survive since birth, and they have no chance to become beggars, because they cannot survive that way.

The Taoist soldiers who were about to go out on the outer city wall were already ready, and they all stood neatly.Near the outer city wall, there were still many marching ants lying on their stomachs. Those Taoist soldiers stood beside the marching ants, with serious faces and calm breaths, which made people feel much safer for no reason.

But when Xie Ranshu approached, they heard someone say, "I'm afraid it will not be easy to build an arched wall this time."

"It took so much steel and concrete to build only one entrance. I don't know how long the arch wall can be built today. With so many soldiers, I don't know how much they can chew every day."

"The railway is really gold every step of the way."

With the experience of going out for the first time, everyone is more calm this time.

It was still Yan Xun who rode the big black to take the lead, followed by the marching ants, and then the Taoist soldiers on foot.

The completed entrance looks very spectacular. The flat concrete entrance has a large glass cover, which can keep out the wind and rain. Down the steps is the earth hole that has been dug but not yet built.

Yan Xun walked down the solidified concrete steps.

Jing Fengye held the oil lamp and held Yan Xun's hand in one hand.

Before the Taoist soldiers came down to work, Yan Xun and Jing Fengye had to come down first to ensure that there was no danger below before letting the Taoist soldiers continue to work.

"It's really not that cold underground." Yan Xun said softly, "I'll dig it out next to it and build a few concrete houses, which can be temporarily sheltered, secondly, it's a safe place, and thirdly, it can better support the soil above. .”

Jing Fengye nodded slightly.

"With time, maybe we can not only lead the railway to the barren mountains, but also go to other places in the demon country..." Yan Xun joked, "Maybe we will suddenly emerge from the train when the tiger demon king is sleeping... "

"I'm afraid the current train won't work. If it's the mine maglev train that the adults said, maybe it can." Jing Fengye said solemnly, "No matter how capable the big monster is, he will be negligent and have weaknesses. As long as we are fully prepared , maybe you can really hide it from the big demon."

If this is the case, then Yan Xun will definitely go wherever he wants.

Jing Fengye's heart beat a little faster, and he found himself having that kind of thought that was almost uncontrollable: design, take Yan Xun away, go to a place where there is no one, go to a place where there are only the two of them.

Yan Xun is such a good person, why should he worry about those people?

What's the matter with Guan Yanxun if others live or die?

It is already so difficult for Yan Xun just to live like this. How many people are grateful for the things he did, and how many people fell into trouble and became mad with jealousy?

not worth it.

"That's definitely not possible." Yan Xun shook his head lightly and said, "Thousands of years ago there were many talented people, and there must have been such a great general. If you can find the Tiger Demon King through the underground without anyone noticing, you must have succeeded long ago. It’s definitely not our turn.”

"Yes." Jing Fengye nodded.

Yan Xun was just talking casually, he motioned Jing Fengye to approach, grabbed a handful of soil, squeezed it, and said: "It's not wet, it seems that this place should be short of water. You can continue to dig, Mr. Jing , do you think there will be monsters here?"

Jing Fengye completely recovered.

What he thinks, what he thinks is beautiful, is no match for the current Yan Xun.

"I can't feel it. Yaoguo is different from Daqin. The demonic aura is complicated..." Jing Fengye sniffed hard and said, "But it feels very bad."

"I don't think so either." Yan Xun shrugged, "The Yao Kingdom gives everyone a bad feeling about all the monsters. I don't know how Qi Daxi stayed in the Yao Kingdom..."

Saying this, Yan Xun took out his umbrella and opened it, pointed to the two sides of the concrete steps and said, "Don't build the railway, but build the concrete house, so it will be safe."

Coming out of the pothole, the cold wind outside seemed to be getting more and more bitter.

Jia Qiugu came forward wearing a thick jacket and an unattractive cotton hat, "Master Yan, how are you?"

In the past, Jia Qiugu regarded himself as a model literati and never wore fur jackets very much. Even in winter, he only wore elegant gowns.

Now Jia Qiu is wrapped up like a ball, and he still looks like a literati and scholar. He looks like a philistine villain, but in the past, people would only roll their eyes when they saw him, and they might even laugh a few words in their hearts. , but now when others see Jia Qiugu, it is easy to call "Master Jia".

"Lord Jia." Yan Xun let out a breath of white air, "Stop repairing the railway, and fix the concrete house first. Use more steel bars, if not enough, I'll ask Dahei to go back and pull some."

"Is there any danger?" Jia Qiugu hurriedly asked.

When the plan was finalized, the railway and the cement house were built together, but now Yan Xun suddenly said that, obviously something happened, Jia Qiugu was a little worried.

Yan Xun shook his head, "I don't know yet. It's better to build the concrete house first, so as to be prepared."

"Yes." Jia Qiugu agreed without hesitation.

If it were the same as before, he would definitely have to question him, he would definitely have to find out, and he might even mock Yan Xun.

Jia Qiugu trotted to tell Xie Jiaoer and the others about the changed plan, thinking about his former self, only thought it was funny.

In the past, he didn't understand anything, he could only talk on paper, and even naively thought that sage books were everything, and turned a blind eye to the rest of the world.

Only later did he realize that some of the so-called sage books he read were not real sage books, but written by some shams.

"Build the concrete house first, so you don't have to rush the progress." Jia Qiugu said, "Master Yan said, be prepared."

"Sure, I'll arrange it right away." Xie Jiaoer was also dressed like a ball, wearing cotton shoes that looked like round steamed buns, and ran to the Taoist soldiers to make arrangements.

Although Zhao Feiteng also got cotton clothes to wear, they were not as thick as those of people like Xie Jiaoer, he said dissatisfiedly: "Why do they wear so thick clothes."

"What? Are you envious?" Hornet leaned over and asked.

Zhao Feiteng didn't speak, but he looked dissatisfied.

"Hey." Hornet patted his jacket and said, "See? I'm wearing thinner clothes than you, and I don't feel uncomfortable. Those literati are useless, they are officials who use their mouths and brains , without firepower, if you wear a thin jacket like us, you will freeze into a popsicle in a moment."

"If you don't work, you can get a thick jacket just like them."

After the hornet finished speaking, she threw off her arms and carried the steel bars, hehehehe, and stepped forward.

The brown pig in the back was carrying a cement bag, and when he passed by Zhao Feiteng, he said, "You don't know yet, do you? Master Yan wears a thicker coat, and I heard that there is something like Mrs. Tang hidden in it that can heat itself. You know what it is, anyway, it’s hot twelve hours a day, don’t you envy it?”

"I heard that if some little brothers feel cold, they can go to Master Yan to ask for something that is hot."

"That thing is pasted with a layer of clothes, and it can be hot for a day, which is better than Tang Pozi."

Every Taoist soldier passed by Zhao Feiteng had to say a few words, which made Zhao Feiteng almost explode in anger.

He is a Taoist soldier from the camp in the capital city, but he was brought out to work. It is obvious that only the rare Taoist soldiers with high cultivation bases and great skills will be selected to work with the Taoist soldiers from the camp in the border town. Ninety percent of the Dao soldiers in the capital's camp were busy working in the border towns, and they had no chance to figure it out.

Zhao Feiteng knew that his cultivation base was not high, and he didn't have much ability. Originally, he would either talk about it with Jia Qiugu and others and enjoy the blessings, or stay in the border town and not have to face danger.

However, everything is different from what he thought.

He went crazy with anger, and looked at Jia Qiugu and others viciously.

These juniors are all traitors, they are all Yan Xun's lackeys, they are all damned existences.
