I Love Farming

"Three, two, one—"

"Geronimo!"

……

When Cui Qichao opened his eyes, he found that he was sitting on the ground with his back leaning on a cold and hard stone, surrounded by tall trees and forests, but in front of him suddenly saw a sea of ​​mist, in which he could faintly see mountains layered on top of each other, and the mist seemed to flow in it.

This sea of ​​mist is even far away, connected to the sky, connected to the white clouds piled up like snow peaks in the sky, connected to the rays of the sun falling from the sky, filled with a faint golden light.

It was just a room full of metal, but it turned into a sea of ​​clouds and fog in an instant. Cui Qichao was a little dazed for a while, so he was not as alert as usual, until there were voices from around: "Okay, it's time to go."

He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a long gown with a bun. The other party was not talking to him alone, but to everyone. Around him, there were dozens of other boys and girls with similar clothes. The posture is to rest on the ground.

The teenagers stood up one after another and followed behind the man.

Cui Qichao heard someone discussing beside him: "How do we get here? Didn't Immortal Chief Lin say that the sect is on the opposite side, there is no bridge and no way, how can we get there? Even if the Immortal Chief can fly with a sword, he can't take so many of us, right? "

At this moment, the cloud and mist were suddenly pierced, and a huge fish swam out of the mist, turned over slowly, and covered a large piece of scenery.

The teenagers screamed.

Cui Qichao took a step back in surprise. The fish looked a bit like a whale, but it was bigger than a whale. Its body was about half the width of a football field.

"Okay, this is the fog whale raised by the sect. I asked it to come and carry people." The Immortal Lin calmly organized the teenagers to get on the back of the whale, and ordered, "The baby whale has a bad temper, so don't tease it. , otherwise it turns over, and I can't catch all of you."

With Lin Xianchang's scare, the teenagers became more careful in their behavior.

Everyone got on the back of the whale, Lin Xianchang took out an ocarina in his hand, and blew it on his lips a few times, but there was no sound.The fog whale below seemed to hear it, and swam forward with a swing.

Although the baby whale is not as good as Lin Xianchang said, it can throw people off, but it is a bit childish, sometimes burrowing into the sea of ​​fog, sometimes floating up, swinging its head back and forth.

Cui Qichao found it interesting. He stepped on the back of the whale to watch the fog flowing around him. The pragmatic boss Cui felt the strange romance of the fairy world for the first time.

He guessed in his heart that the sound from Lin Xianchang's ocarina might only be heard by the fog whales, and their vocal range might not overlap with that of humans at all.

When the baby whale poked its head out of the sea of ​​mist again, Cui Qichao suddenly saw a long rainbow in the sky, which flew across quickly, and reached the top of their heads in an instant, surpassed them again, but fell towards the mountains in the sea of ​​mist ahead.

The baby whale shook its head happily, then suddenly accelerated, chasing after the long rainbow.

Lin Xianchang also took a look at Changhong, and said to the curious youngsters: "Those are new disciples who share magic weapons."

That's right, new disciples.

Cui Qichao knew his identity here, a new handyman of the cultivation sect Yulingzong.

Every 60 years, the Yuling Sect selects newcomers, tests their aptitude, and tests their aura. Those who pass are entered into the mountain gate, and they embark on the path of cultivating immortals.As for the handymen, at first they were just selected mortals to do their bidding, and later gradually some people who also had aura, but not enough to be full-fledged disciples acted as them.

Because the servants of the Yuling Sect are also qualified to voluntarily practice a little superficial kung fu, these relics hold a glimmer of hope, maybe they can be enlightened in front of the servants, be enrolled in the sect, or be appreciated by the elders. There is no such precedent before.

When Lin Xianchang said this, the others were originally excited about riding the fog whale, but they were all depressed for a while.Everyone is about the same age, but their fates are so different.

They use the Mist Whale, but others use magic weapons, because the teacher who picks them up is even more powerful. This Lin Xianchang is in charge of chores, and his practice is not very good, so he can't use that kind of magic weapon.

Only Cui Qichao didn't have any ideas. He didn't come here for cultivating immortals, so it didn't matter whether he became an official disciple of Yulingzong or not.

Compared with those, he is more concerned about what Yulingzong usually eats and buys?Need to farm?

……

Only when you get close can you see clearly that there is a cableway between the peaks of Yulingzong, but at this time the fog is hidden in the fog and you can't see clearly.There are many pavilions built on the mountain, with green eaves and green eaves, hidden among green branches and vines.On the top of the highest main peak, there is a golden palace with magnificent majesty. The left and right towers are more than a hundred feet high, and there are two big characters "Yu Ling" written on it, which are clearly visible and shining brightly from a distance.

The fog whale bypassed the cableways and brought them to a mountain near the edge. The teenagers reluctantly went down the back of the whale. The fog whale nodded to Lin Xianchang, swung its tail, swam half a mile away, and disappeared into the fog. .

"Come on." Immortal Lin led them to a courtyard where all the servants lived and their affairs were extremely cumbersome. Therefore, they had to be classified.

Without stopping for a moment, Lin Xianchang took out the test papers and pens and inks that he had prepared a long time ago, and gave them to do it.

There's another quiz.Everyone else immediately checked the paper and even started writing when they got the paper and pen. Only Cui Qichao held the paper and looked at it for a long time.

... Sigh, Cui Qichao really didn't expect this. There is no need to worry about the language system. He pays attention to the background and common sense of Xianxia when he reads the materials. Only after seeing the test papers did he realize that most of the written language on it was beyond his comprehension.He has also studied ancient poetry, but these are really beyond the outline.

The handymen are also divided into three, six, and nine classes, the highest class. Doing chores is also doing chores for the elders of the sect, such as water and fire. If it is cleaning the book forest, you must have enough literacy, and you must be dexterous in making and maintaining daily utensils. You need to be dexterous with your tongue... That's why a test paper was published, with a little classification to let the steward know their strengths and weaknesses, and where to send them.

The best thing, of course, is to be able to go to and from the elders' homes frequently. This kind of quality requires the highest quality, even the appearance should be correct, knowing how to advance and retreat, understanding etiquette, and being proficient in writing.If it is good to serve, it will always be beneficial if you don't expect to give advice.

For a while, everyone worked hard to solve the problem.

Except for Cui Qichao, the others didn't say they had read poetry and books, but their knowledge was definitely not bad.People in poor villages may not even know about the recruitment of Yuling Sect. If they are too ignorant of etiquette, they will not be able to be selected as handymen.Although they are handymen, some people here may have a fairly good family background among mortals, and they are well-to-do to say the least.

Others moved their pens like flying, and Cui Qichao looked at the test papers in a daze. He had never had the experience of handing in blank papers since he was a child, and he even took as many exams as possible with full marks.Smiling wryly in his heart, no wonder Lin Lin said that his starting point was low. For the first time in his life, he tasted the taste of illiteracy.

At least he knew the characters, although he didn't understand the grammar, and he didn't know many nouns. Cui Qichao half guessed the meaning of the question, and answered in vernacular.

Cui Qichao was the last to hand in the paper. Lin Miao, that is, Lin Xianchang, was the first to read his paper. He almost laughed angrily. Kui Ying, you talk a lot about how to pass the one-shot one-shadow long-term test. I said the pre-school test, and you told me the mnemonic method... What nonsense, who is this Cui Qichao? Stand up."

Everyone looked around, wondering who Cui Qichao was. They had come all the way, but no one seemed to know this person.

Cui Qichao stood up slowly, and apologized calmly: "I'm not talented enough, I'm sorry."

It was him.The teenagers were secretly surprised. Everyone noticed this person when he came. He has an outstanding appearance and a calm demeanor, as if he was invited to be a guest at Yulingzong. .So everyone was either afraid or unwilling to talk to him, and no one thought that "Cui Qichao" was this person.

Who knew, he couldn't even understand the test questions.

Lin Miao thought it was funny at first, but it was a pity to see Cui Qichao's generous confession.This child is calm and unhurried, which is extremely rare at his age, but it's a pity that he doesn't have enough aura and knowledge, so I don't know why it was delayed.

"...Alas," Lin Miao said calmly, "Since you don't have much to learn, let's go to minmizhutao."

Seeing Cui Qichao's eyes were a little dazed, Lin Miao said speechlessly, "It's the dining room!"

Only then did Cui Qichao understand, oh, the cafeteria.

The other teenagers were secretly relieved, only newcomers or low-level disciples would use the cafeteria, and the cultivators after bigu would not need to eat or drink.Going there is the most hopeless. There is no chance to contact some high-level disciples and elders, and you are surrounded by fireworks all day long. How can you have a fairy fate.Now that Cui Qichao had a spot, they were much safer.

When Cui Qichao was no longer threatening, and when others looked at him again, they were not as alienated as before. After Lin Miao finished allocating one by one, someone even came to greet Cui Qichao and let him mourn.

Even Lin Miao couldn't help but look at Cui Qichao a few more times from afar, but he couldn't find any look of disappointment on his face.

"Thank you." Cui Qichao thought it was okay. He also opened a cafeteria, which was one of his old professions.

……

……

Cui Qichao brought his own baggage to Minmizhulou. Although the name is a bit of a mouthful, the place is actually quite human. After all, the twenty or so handymen here are all mortals.

The time interval between the recruitment of handymen was much shorter than that of new disciples. This time, Cui Qichao was the only one who was sent to Minmizhulou. The management representatives here welcomed him.

The manager of the Minmi Pearl Tower is surnamed Liu, he is 78 years old this year, but he looks only in his forties. He has practiced some superficial exercises here, with some success.

Everyone has gone to the Minmi Pearl Tower, and there is nothing to fight about. Anyway, no matter how well you do or how badly you do, you will only please or offend some low-level disciples and newcomers. You have to wait until these people climb up. His life span has long been exhausted.

Therefore, Guanshi Liu treated Cui Qichao with a touch of friendliness and told him to watch things in the kitchen for a few days and get familiar with the situation.

He arranged for Cui Qichao to live with Meng Qing, a cook in his thirties, and asked Meng Qing if he didn't understand anything. For the rest, Cui Qichao would not tell him unless he asked.

But Cui Qichao either didn't ask, or if he did, it was all about the kitchen.

For example, he asked Meng Qing: "Brother Meng, where do the ingredients come from? Can we grow our own land?"

Meng Qing said: "On this mountain, there are dozens of acres of terraced fields, which are taken care of by our Minmi Zhulou. Rice, grain, fruits, vegetables and spices are all obtained from here. Sugar and salt are bought down the mountain once a year. Meat is eaten in the mountain itself. They are used sparingly. These are mainly for the disciples who have not bigu to eat. Occasionally, the disciples after the bigu will satisfy their appetite. However, the disciples who knocked on the golden dragon can already receive some spiritual fruits on time, so they don’t bother to eat them. meals."

Cui Qichao made some calculations and said, "Guan Liu told me that Minmi Zhulou House needs to feed more than hundreds of people every day. In this way, dozens of acres of land can be taken care of?"

Meng Qing raised his eyelids, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly replied: "In those fields, there are fairy elders in the sect who have used immortal methods. We only need to sow and harvest. No matter what crops, they will grow into crops within a month." , so this part of the field is called the proud field."

Cui Qichao was stunned for a moment.

What kind of world is this? It grows within a month and doesn't need management.Well, the farming system in Xianxia World is not the same as what he knows, it seems that some knowledge needs to be re-understood.

Also, there are only dozens of acres of terraced fields in total. Is there any way to expand it?Cui Qichao's appetite has grown since he recklessly planted a few planets on No Man's Planet, and he may not be able to satisfy him with this little land.

Cui Qichao thought about it, and then asked: "Brother Meng, if the number of sects grows rapidly in the future, the land of a mountain will not be enough, so there are other mountains that can be opened up?"

"What's more, each peak has its own use." Meng Qing continued to give him a strange look, and replied, "There will be so many people that they can't afford to support them. Even if they really exist, they can build a mustard cave Farming. Our Yunmeng Master of the Yuling Sect heard that there is a rare mustard seed cave, which is larger than the border of a country."

Cui Qichao has read the information before, and it also explained the technology of the mustard cave. The so-called Sumina is contained in the mustard, and a large space is hidden in a small magic weapon, but the ordinary mustard cave may only have one house and one floor. I never thought that someone's Mustard Seed Cave could be so big. In this way, it would be very convenient to use it for farming...

Meng Qing saw Cui Qichao lost in thought, and finally couldn't help asking: "Aren't you curious about the sect?"

Cui Qichao woke up startled, looked at him and said, "Curiosity."

"Curiosity, why do you only ask about things in the building? Aren't you curious about the way of cultivating immortals?" Meng Qing was also in her teens and did not choose a formal disciple to be a handyman. At first, she was always curious, and Like all the handymen who have just arrived, they inquire about the matter of cultivating immortals, hoping that they will also be lucky and encounter something.It's a pity that it's already disheartened by now.When you meet newcomers, it's fine if you don't pour cold water on them.

Unexpectedly, he didn't describe it, Cui Qichao didn't yearn for it, and he didn't mean to ask questions at all, which made him a little strange and dissatisfied.

Cui Qichao smiled and said nothing.

Meng Qing didn't know why, so she leaned back in her chair, looked at the ceiling and said, "Whoever enters the road of cultivating immortals takes one step at a time, and each step stumbles an unknown number of people. There are nine realms in total, and ten You can tell with your fingers, but it's a long way. Let me tell you something, so that when you meet a fairy leader in the future, you will know what kind of person he is."

The nine realms of immortal cultivators, from entry to ascension, have to go through respectively: Ying Ning, Di Chu, Recognition of Golden Dragon, Ting Lei, Flying Immortal, Unkillable, Xun Tian, ​​Absolute Sound and Undead Life.

The so-called "Ning Ning" state can put an end to external disturbances and maintain a peaceful state of mind. This is the most basic heart of Dao cultivation.Many people are not talented enough, and have struggled for many years at this step.

Then there is "Cleaning Beginning", the aura gradually fills up, cleansing oneself from the inside, washing the marrow, and fasting the grain. After completing this state, there is no need for food and drink, and the life span can be increased by two Jiazi.

The third realm "recognition of the golden dragon" is a small breakthrough.At this point, you need to try to communicate with the world and start to cultivate your state of mind.The reason why it is called the Golden Dragon Recognition is that there is an ancient god who successfully ascended to Dzogchen in this realm and heard the sound of a dragon roar when he broke through.Therefore, later generations called this state recognition of the golden dragon, also known as knocking the golden dragon, hoping to ask where the golden dragon is like the predecessor.If successful, life expectancy will increase by ten Jiazi.

When you are in the "listening to thunder" state, you learn to control your aura freely by refining various spells, and you must be ready to hear the thunder at any time-crossing the thunder calamity.After going through the thunder disaster, reborn, the lifespan will increase again. From the beginning of the body, every breakthrough in the realm will increase the lifespan.

Cultivators in the "Flying Immortal" realm do not really become immortals, it just means that they are already immortals in the eyes of mortals.

Same as Feixian, "unable to kill" is not really unkillable.Unable to kill is also called Guizhenshen. So far, the soul has been condensed and returned to the original. There is no need to chase things, the skin is no longer important, and the soul can be separated.If it falls in one step, the primordial spirit also has a glimmer of life, and can be sent to the human body again to rebuild it again.

It can be seen that not being able to kill is another breakthrough. After reaching the "Xuntian" state, it is already difficult to summarize what kind of ability and what kind of state of mind.Anyway, there is no need to brag, what kind of flying fairy is true.

Legend has it that when surveying the sky, there will be a vision called "Climbing the Stars and Entering Kuidou". The soul will follow the Big Dipper to survey the sky for a week, look at the stars around the sky, observe the thousands of earth, and comprehend the way of nature.

Immortal cultivators in the realm of "Extreme Sound" are said to be ruthless and desireless. Most people in this realm will start long-term intensive cultivation, so during this realm, everything they do and every word they say may be become the last sound.

The Absolute Sound Realm doesn't go out very much, and this is certainly the case for "Undead Life". Undying Life is already a half-step immortal, only one step away from Ascension, and has almost transcended life and death.Of course, the real detachment from life and death has to be done after ascension.

Meng Qing narrated the stories of each realm, with a light in his eyes that he hadn't noticed.

After hearing this, Cui Qichao felt a little emotional. This time, he really felt the romance of the world of cultivating immortals. If it were him, he would probably only name it: Level [-], Level [-], Level [-]... to Level [-] of the National Immortal Cultivation Assessment .

After Meng Qing finished speaking, she was silent for a long time before saying: "There are five ancestors in the Yuling Sect who are in the Absolute Sound Realm and above, and they will only show up for a few years. Handymen like us will never have the chance to get See."

Cui Qichao felt that he was still more interested in the real Yunmeng who had a super big mustard hole. It would be great if he had one. He would expand the space wildly, and then farm at any time. How convenient it is, he can plant a full ...

Seeing that Cui Qichao was lost in thought again, Meng Qing was finally a little relieved, and patted him on the shoulder, "Although we are like this, maybe we can practice some exercises like Liu Guanshi, or prolong our life for a few years, which is not bad."

……

For Cui Qichao, a newcomer, the people in Minmi Zhulou fell more and more in love with him.

First of all, he is good-looking, silent but not gloomy, he talks less and does more.Guanshi Liu said to let him look at things for a few days first, but he saw something alive and took the initiative to do things.At the beginning, I helped to prepare the dishes, and I also carefully tasted a little of each vegetable, fruit and spice to distinguish the good taste before matching.

A few days later, Cui Qichao took the initiative to apply again to take care of Deyitian, but this was rejected by Liu Guanshi. He said that Deyitian didn't need to be taken care of, did you not understand clearly.So Cui Qichao said again, let him cook a separate stove, he can also cook.

Minmizhu restaurant cooks meals for hundreds of people every day. The chef here is not the chef of the restaurant outside. Before going to the stove, I only asked: "Can I enter?"

Cui Qichao: "...Yes."

What, canteen dishes, are they all alike?

Moyuan

Formal disciples who are new to the school all live in the Moyuan.The Yuling Sect is such a large sect that it already has its own training system.

The newly recruited disciples have to practice in a unified way in the Moyuan, and they will formally become apprentices when they reach the state of tranquility, and their respective masters will give them a stage name... No, the characters are based on generations.

The world sees immortals accepting apprentices and leading them to the fairy mountain, as if the avenue is wide from now on.But in fact, when they arrive at the Zongmen, they are still stones, and they have to be ground to have a real master.How long it takes to grind depends on their talents.

At any rate, they still have a courtyard and special masters to guide them. If those handymen want to get started, they can only rely on the experience of their senior handymen and explore by themselves.

The new batch of disciples have only been here for seven days, and they are all young people. They have become acquainted with each other from the road to these few days.

When it was almost time to eat, a girl lay on the stone table and complained: "I really don't want to eat anymore. The food here is simply too rough. I have finished eating all the dim sum I brought from home." It sounded good, but where did Minmi Zhuzhu come from..."

Another girl sitting next to her smiled and said, "Sister Yunzhu, you attach so much importance to your appetite, how can you enter the Ningning Realm? The Ningning Realm needs to get rid of all external disturbances, even whether the food is good or bad. Your mood, this is not good. Then in the future, there will be bigu at the beginning of the body."

Yunzhu immediately reacted, "Aiya", "Thank you sister Jinwen for reminding me, alas, don't mess up, don't worry about eating,"

At this time, not only the two of them, but all the new disciples smelled a strong fragrance.You can roughly distinguish the strong aroma of meat, which must be steamed with wine to make it so fragrant. With a keen sense of smell, you can also recognize the smell of mountain delicacies such as dried bamboo shoots and pine nuts, which are extremely delicious.

Compared with the meals of the previous few days, it was heaven and earth. They had never smelled such a fragrance in a big restaurant in the world. It was time to eat, and their stomachs were about to rumble.

I saw the handyman from Minmizhulou building push the cart into the yard, and said loudly: "Young masters and girls, today's meal is here."

The trolley was filled with bags of food wrapped in leaves. The meals provided by the Yuling Sect to such disciples did not use ordinary dishes, but the leaves of herbs from the mountains, which had a calming effect.Of course, for the people in Minmi Zhulou, it just saves them the time of washing dishes.

Yun Zhu only felt a blur in front of her eyes, Jin Wen had already jumped out, and she could only hear her screaming: "Is it the eight-treasure meatball? I've already smelled it. It's my favorite eight-treasure meatball!!"
