"Haha! Except for the Tu family, most of the people in my Xiaotian'ao have changed their surnames to Lin. In addition, there are heroes and gentry from the world who come to visit us in order to seek immortal fate! My Lin family has never been so lively and prosperous! Or my eldest brother is capable..."
Lin Cui'er is old, but she is a person who can't sit still. Busy inside and outside, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, she is refreshed, and every now and then she comes to talk to her eldest brother excitedly.
Lin Yi sat leaning against the wooden table with a bitter smile on his face. The original mountain people just guarded a few pieces of thin land to make a living. Fortunately, the Tu family is a big merchant, and Cui'er has the help of the people in the world, which is why Xiaotian'ao has changed dramatically. But this place is located on the border, and it is still inevitable to be harassed by war and chaos. Although the scene in the mountain village is lively now, people will gradually know about this place. When the war breaks out again in the future, it will be a disaster! After motioning the girl to sit down, he thought about it and said, "The prosperity of Xiaotian'ao is a good thing! And if you plan for the future, you will not have immediate worries! I want to walk around alone these few days and think of a safe way..." What is a safe way? Lin Yi couldn't think of it for a while. It's impossible for everyone to have a jade pendant and get a few innate masters out, which will only put this mountain village into more trouble. After all, this is not a Taoist temple! People in the mountain village have to farm, do business, get married and have funerals. It's not easy for mortals to live their lives! Lin Yi didn't let Cui'er and Tianfu accompany him, but walked around Xiaotian'ao alone. Unknowingly, he came to the cliff of Xishan again. At this time, the grass has turned green and the weather is getting warmer. However, the two graves accompanying each other still seem so lonely.
He walked slowly to Su Xueyun's grave and stood silently. Lin Yi had a jade flute in his hand. He closed his eyes and meditated for a while. The sound of the flute sounded at his lips. In the chilly wind, a song of "Red Dust" rose and fell, gradually fading away... and the misty rain, weeping willows, pink peaches and white apricots, and graceful figures, suddenly clear, and suddenly hazy...
In the past, the red dust was like a dream! And the road under your feet is still slowly extending, forcing you to move forward. The wild grass on the cliff and the villagers in Xiaotian'ao are all living humbly and persistently...
With a sigh, Lin Yi put away the jade flute and overlooked the valley below. The West Mountain at his feet, together with the surrounding mountains, formed a valley of dozens of miles in size. The five or six miles of the valley in the valley is where the villagers rest and recuperate. And to the east of the village entrance, after a pond, is the mountain pass that was cut out.
The mountains around the valley are only a hundred feet high, but because there are cliffs on the back, the mountain pass has become the only way to enter and exit Xiaotian'ao. What if it is blocked?
In his wild thoughts, Lin Yi's heart moved. Block the mountain pass? No, if so, Xiaotian'ao will become a dead end. Although there are mountainous lands for farming here, oil, salt, cloth and other things still have to be bought in the market town, and the mountain people are not truly self-sufficient. But what if there is a way to pass through? Is the formation feasible?
He will leave one day, and I am afraid he will no longer be able to take care of Xiaotian'ao. For the sake of future generations, Lin Yi still wants to leave a way to solve the problem once and for all. He has thought about the formation. But it is so difficult to set up a formation controlled by mortals in such a large area!
Xiaotian'ao is not a small place, and it is not easy to adapt to local conditions. But if the terrain in front of you is slightly changed, and then the formation is set up according to the terrain, it may be feasible!
After pondering for a long time alone on the cliff, he simply sat cross-legged again, memorized the topography of Xiaotian'ao in his mind, and deduced it repeatedly. Three days later, Lin Yi came up with a solution. However, it was all too incredible. Therefore, he wanted to act arbitrarily without discussing with others.
When Cui'er was anxious because she had not seen her elder brother for three days, Lin Yi descended from the sky. With a wave of his hand, thousands of large trees suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the Lin Mansion, attracting the crowd to watch. Before people came forward to see the face of the immortal, he turned into a breeze and left in a cry of surprise.
Lin Yi went back and forth, and after several times, the open space in front of the Lin Mansion was piled up into a small hill of trees of all sizes. These trees were all uprooted, including pine and cypress, fruit trees, and some with green leaves on them, obviously from the distant south. The onlookers had witnessed the skills of the immortal Lin more than once, but they were still puzzled about the origin of these trees. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't help but speculate.
When Lin Yi showed up again, Lin Cui'er, Tianfu and others had already rushed over. He signaled everyone to stay calm, and then walked to the stone steps in front of the Lin Mansion and said loudly: "From today, men, women, old and young in every household should start to plant these trees according to my instructions!"
The Immortal Lin spoke, and although everyone didn't understand why, they still responded loudly and got busy.
"Brother, what are you doing...?" When Cui'er saw so many trees, she secretly praised her brother's powerful magic power and was also surprised. However, Xiaotian'ao is so small, how can so many trees be planted?
"Cui'er, pass on my words, those who join the Lin family must not leave Xiaotian'ao in the future..." Lin Yi said. Cui Er asked in confusion: "It just so happens that my Lin family is prosperous. If this happens, isn't it..."
Waving his hands, Lin Yi said without question: "Those are just people who curry favor with the powerful. Xiaotianao can't support too many people." He turned to Lin Ping and others on the side and ordered: "Quickly drive away the idle people in the mountain pass..."
Seeing that Cui'er was a little reluctant, knowing what she was thinking, Lin Yi smiled and comforted: "At this time when the world is getting warmer, it is the time to plant trees. Let's see what big brother does, and I will tell you later..."
With a chuckle, white clouds rose under Lin Yi's feet, and he was in mid-air. Based on the formation diagram in his mind, he drove his flying sword to hit the surrounding mountains, slopes, ponds, and paths repeatedly, digging tree pits of varying sizes. Then he took out the spirit stone, crushed it and sprinkled it, then flew away into the distance under the admiring eyes of everyone.
"Boom, boom--" Amidst the loud noise like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, everyone who was busy planting trees looked to the east of the village entrance, where the mountain pass was, and there were rocks dozens of feet in size falling from the sky.
Oh my God! This is Immortal Lin moving mountains and seas! Everyone was shocked but also very excited about it. Who could have imagined that two days later, the mountain pass one or two miles wide would disappear, replaced by a rocky mountain of more than a hundred feet. What is the great immortal going to do? Someone wanted to see what was going on, but was stopped by the Lin family, saying that the ancestor was casting a spell and no one was allowed to get close.
Lin Yi has been busy for the past two days. He dug up huge rocks from a distance and carried them with Qiankun Rings. He sealed the mountain pass of Xiaotian'ao, leaving a passageway more than ten feet wide, and buried spiritual stones and jade pendants at the entrances of the caves at both ends. A formation was set up. Not only that, the pond was stagnant water, but there was a spring a hundred feet deep underground. He used his flying sword to dig out a hole to connect the water veins.
Seven days later, patches of woods appeared on the mountains and roadsides around Xiaotian'ao, changing the look of the originally desolate valley. Some people in the village said that Immortal Lin also passed down an edict that people in Xiaotian'ao are not allowed to interact with outsiders at will, let alone go in and out at will. This is to isolate yourself from the world! As a result, many defectors panicked and left one after another, taking away the hustle and bustle of the past, and the mountain village slowly became quiet.
Lin Cui'er was a little disappointed at this, but Lin Yi remained unmoved and was still busy on the surrounding mountains, moving the trees that had been planted from time to time. He made another trip to the Hetian Kingdom in the north, found a jade mine, dug out the best jade materials, and came back to refine more jade pendants.
On the west mountain of Xiaotian'ao, dozens of large trees have appeared on the originally bare hilltop, which also makes the two tombs hidden in the shade of the trees feel a bit more peaceful. When Cui'er found it, Lin Yizheng was sitting cross-legged on the ground. With the flash of sword light, a piece of jade thrown up by him instantly turned into dozens of jade pendants of the same size.
Nodding towards Cui'er, Lin Yi kept his hands on his hands, and a series of hand gestures flew away with fluorescence, and they were instantly submerged in the jade pendant. He grabbed it with his hand and threw it away, and pieces of the refined jade pendants flew into the roots of distant trees and disappeared.
"Brother! These days, you have sealed the mountain pass, but left the passage open, and I sent people to guard it but you refused to let it go... This, Cui'er is really a little confused!" Lin Cui'er sat down next to Lin Yi, He raised his head and looked around, and said with a hint of surprise: "It's not easy to plant trees on this mountain, but there are no signs of death. Could it be the work of the jade pendant..."
There is a formation embedded in the jade pendant, which has its own uses. What really makes the trees come alive are the tens of thousands of spiritual stones that turned into debris! Lin Yi shook his head with a smile, took Cui'er's hand and stood up, saying: "The mountains and forests in this circle are no less than tens of miles away, and they are all planted according to the array diagram. After they are all alive one by one, the array embedded in the jade pendant will By activating the mechanism of heaven and earth, they can form a natural formation one after another, which is enough to protect the home! However, this formation was learned from the elder brother's study. How it works as for blocking the mountain pass is still unknown. It's a stupid idea, but you have to do it! If you don't believe it, follow me and take a look..."
