I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 120: Alien Species Spread, Ten Years of Sleep

Compared to her brother Li Gou'er's slippery and slippery behavior, Li Xiu'er's deterrence was more domineering and straightforward. Read М

No one in the valley dared to give her a nickname, and they just called her Sister Xiu'er as they did at the beginning.

Well, Xia Tieniu was the only one who refused to change his words and insisted on calling her "Sister Xiu'er".

Since Li Xiu'er did not object, no one found fault with her, otherwise Xia Tieniu would be beaten up every now and then by others for practicing martial arts.

And Liangshan Village in the mountains of Nanye Country has developed most rapidly because it is not known and interfered by the outside world.

In more than two years, it has become a large village of more than 2,000 people, with hundreds of entry-level warriors and more than a dozen third-level warriors.

Not only that, more than a dozen small villages around it have also been merged into Liangshan Village and become branch villages.

But the villagers cannot live on purple wheat alone, and some of them have to be dispersed in the periphery, which is both a line of defense against outsiders and a base for continued expansion.

It is easier for Liangshan Village to spread purple wheat. Let people use the identity of mountain merchants to go to distant villages and exchange seeds for a small amount of mountain products.

There are not many large villages in the Nanye Mountains, but there are many new and old mountain villages that avoid taxes and corvee.

As long as the speed is fast enough and the purple wheat seeds are sold within a few days, it will be difficult to find Liangshan Village afterwards.

These small villages are also in the mountains, far away from the outside world, and most of the attention of Nanye Kingdom is on the great changes in the courtyard.

It will take about one or two years for Liangshan Village's "big move" to spread to the outside world. At that time, there will be purple wheat in every village in the mountains, so it doesn't matter if you know it.

At the distant seaside of Beimo Kingdom, Boss Lang was full of confidence, but Zhou Dazhu did not appear beside him.

It's not that Boss Lang can't tolerate people. He killed Zhou Dazhu as soon as the three-year confidentiality period expired, but Yanhu Village and Langtao Gang completed the integration and redivision of labor within these three years.

In fact, Boss Lang is quite satisfied with Zhou Dazhu as his "deputy".

Zhou Dazhu has no ambitions, he just wants to have a full warehouse of grain and a warm bed for his wife and children.

For two years, he basically did not interfere in external affairs, only with the elderly, weak women and children in the village, and concentrated on growing black beans.

Boss Lang took the young and strong who wanted to fight for a future, sold private salt outside, and then bought tools, weapons, grain and vegetables.

Because the black bean yield is good and cannot be sold outside during the three-year confidentiality period, Zhou Dazhu also raised poultry and livestock.

Whether making soy products or pressing oil, the bean cakes and bean dregs left behind are excellent feed for raising poultry and livestock.

The people in the village have meat and eggs, and they are full of energy for practicing martial arts and working.

Occasionally, Boss Lang would have wild thoughts, maybe he could be a big landlord with a full warehouse of grain, meat and eggs, and his life should be very good?

But he couldn't let go of his ambition to become a big boss, and finally took the exotic black beans and embarked on a dangerous and opportunity-filled journey to make a fortune.

It's not that Boss Lang is weak-willed, it's just that the chaos in Dawu has become increasingly obvious in the past two years.

As the place with the worst geographical environment, Beimo Kingdom is also facing the invasion of foreigners from the extreme north. Taxes and corvées have unknowingly increased by 10% or 20%, and many villages and towns have become difficult.

What followed was more gang fighting and clan fighting.

Although the Langtao Gang has added a lot of new blood from Yanhu Village, with a total of more than 200 warriors in the first round, it lacks the second round of masters and is not very strong.

Including Boss Lang, he has only completed the third round, and he is almost a chance to light up the second round.

Who made him only get the alien black beans and then forget about Shennong.

Without gratitude, you can't condense the soul source. If you don't have enough soul source, you can't make up the cause and effect money, and you won't have the opportunity to obtain systematic martial arts in the future.

The only one who received the initiation of systematic martial arts, Xiao Ping'er's cousin Wang Xiaomai and her family, carefully kept the three-year confidentiality period.

The couple quietly cultivated and practiced in the mountain village, and gradually raised their agronomy and Tianluo Hand to level 10.

The eight-year-old son was not diligent in farming, and did not make much progress in agronomy, but he was very active in using Tianluo Hand every day, and he also practiced it to level 10.

The plant affinity characteristics can be used for farming as a magical skill, and the agility of Tianluo Hand makes people coordinate their hands and feet, flexible and precise, and is a good helper for work.

With these two skills, Wang Xiaomai's family earned a lot more than other households from farming, and their status gradually surpassed most people in the village.

Other women saw that her hands were flexible in weaving and weaving, and they wanted to learn. Wang Xiaomai was not stingy and taught them Tianluo Hand little by little.

The foundation of this martial art is similar to the practice of juggling magic. She said it was a trick for practicing hands, and no one doubted it.

And the powerful and knowledgeable Lang Lao Da was mostly away, and it was impossible for him to get together with a bunch of old women and girls working when he came back, so he was at a loss.

As a result, no one knew about the real "chief + second" masters of the Langtao Gang, Wang Xiaomai and his wife.

They were also the only family in the Langtao Gang who had set up a god tablet and worshiped it every morning and evening.

...

In any case, in the 502nd year of Dawu, the "seeds" that Gu Ke had sown at the beginning began a new journey.

The grain seeds improved by Xiantian are universal. With enough fertilizer, they can grow in most places, but the yield varies.

In three years, people who successfully planted exotic grains have accumulated a lot of grain, which is enough to eat for ten years.

Moreover, this is a seed. If the fields are fertilized in large quantities, two seasons can be planted every year, and the grain stored at home will only increase.

The trading contract is something they cannot violate.

So since April, many traces of exotic purple wheat, rouge rice, black beans, corn, and black millet have appeared in the southern part of Nanye and Donghai.

The number of each place is not large, usually only three or five plants, rarely more than ten plants.

But they are widely distributed, appearing in the mountains and forests, in the fields, and in the villages.

In May and June, there was also a large outbreak of alien species in Dawu Zhongting and Xihuang Kingdom.

In June and July, alien species were also found in many places in Beimo Kingdom.

After that, alien grains have become outdated news known to ordinary people and farmers.

At the beginning, the major local wealthy families and sects who heard the news of alien species were very surprised and sent people to search and confiscate them.

There were many fights and murders, just to snatch the alien species, block the news, and monopolize the benefits.

But in the second year, these wealthy families and sects were a little dumbfounded: How come there are so many alien grains again, as if everyone has a lot of them?

There are also rumors in many places that alien grains are not picky about the land, just add more silt humus fertilizer and throw it down and it will grow.

If you accidentally find a few plants, you only need to quietly pick them, and dozens or hundreds of seeds are enough for seeds.

With just a small bag, if you hide it casually, who would know that you have a foreign species in your hand.

Find a wilderness, get enough fertilizer, let it grow naturally, and collect a batch when it matures, basically there will be no risk.

What makes the sects even more upset is that this rumor is actually true.

These foreign grains, except for the considerable consumption of fertilizer, have low requirements for other things, and can be raised in the wild.

So the question is - how to stop people from secretly raising foreign grains in the wild?

In the modern society of the previous life, drones take off and sweep along the road, and everything is visible.

But in this world, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and many places are uninhabited for dozens or hundreds of miles.

The most powerful in the wilderness is not humans, but strange monsters and demons.

There are really idiots who think they are superior and rush around in the wild, and sooner or later they will send themselves into the mouth of monsters as snacks.

Only Wu Zong is basically safe and worry-free, and the sixth-turn masters are also relatively safe and can do the work of "field drones".

But there are very few such masters, and their status is not low.

In the previous life, the governors (Wu Zong) and Shi Chang (six-turn warriors) of the United States were asked to fly planes in person to complete the mapping work of the region, risking missile attacks.

That would be a waste of time as an official!

If you can't stop the wild breeding, you can't monopolize it, at least your peers and opponents will not be short of it.

Even if it is a small force or a lone warrior, you can still secretly grow some for your own consumption.

The only people who are restricted are ordinary people in towns, and there is no way for remote villages, because no one can search the wild mountains and jungles for a long time.

Even so, no one wants to make it easy for the people.

Most sects and wealthy families have announced their own rules, requiring that the discovery of alien species must be reported, and private planting is strictly prohibited.

But everyone has their own faces, and the same is true for farmers.

There are honest people, cunning people, and even people who are so hungry that they want to eat people - there are a lot of them.

The tug-of-war over the spread of exotic food is unfolding between a small group of the ruling class and the vast majority of the lower class.

But if you eat too much exotic food, even if you only practice some inferior martial arts, you may become an entry-level martial artist.

When Gu Ke set up a roadside stall, the most traded ones were the Black Evil Palm and the Pushing Mountain Palm.

As long as you don't mention that these martial arts come from him, you can teach them at will.

Their entry-level foundation is about the same difficulty as learning radio gymnastics in your previous life. The key is to practice persistently.

The lower class people here have nothing, but they spend the most time working.

These two external martial arts are covered with the skin of "secret farming skills" and are widely spread.

Of course, the spread of martial arts is ultimately more time-consuming and labor-intensive, and much slower than throwing seeds everywhere.

But as the number of people who eat exotic food and practice martial arts increases, this spread trend will grow exponentially and faster and faster.

The growing material needs of the people are the general trend, and the small sects and powerful families are completely unable to stop it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the first day of the first lunar month of the 510th year of Dawu.

There is finally movement in the Yulong Valley hidden in the void.

In the past ten years, Yulong Peak has grown from more than 300 feet to a thousand-foot peak, but the area it occupies has not changed much.

Originally short and slightly round, it seems to have been stretched into a sword, standing upright in the valley.

The water volume of several streams on the peak has risen sharply, winding and cascading from the highest point, falling one level after another, forming dozens of waterfalls of various sizes and shapes.

The waterfalls are like pieces of white silk, hanging on Yulong Peak, raising fine water mist, reflecting tiny rainbows of different sizes in the sun.

The originally desolate and lonely Yulong Peak has also become more lively and vivid, like a fairy mountain.

The topography of Yulong Valley has not changed much, but several streams merged at the bottom of the peak, forming a winding river between the plains and hills in the valley, and there are many clear small lakes and ponds along the way.

The grass and trees by the water are lush and green, and some are covered by snow.

But there are also weeds that are several feet long, and many shrubs and small trees are several feet high.

Under the heavy snow, they show a little green and brown, standing proudly in the snow, without any bleak and dry appearance.

In the underground secret room of Yulong Peak, Zhao Guangtian's so-called martial god body has been completely absorbed and transformed by the blood pill, turning into a translucent light red crystal ball with a diameter of one foot.

Countless red crystal lines flickering in light and dark protrude from the void and connect to the crystal ball.

They absorb energy from the void and inject it into the almost empty crystal ball for storage to maintain the operation of the valley today.

With the completion of the automatic upgrade, the system building and fairy field on the waist of the floating peak, which had been shining with golden light for ten years, finally slowly fell down.

With a faint rumble, the entire valley returned to its normal state.

The bedrooms in the southeast, northwest and northeast were still quiet, and Gu Ke and the women did not wake up immediately.

Until a trace of white appeared in the distant eastern sky, Gu Ke slowly opened his eyes.

He stretched his waist and felt that he was physically and mentally comfortable today.

He didn't care too much, and got up and opened the bedroom door as usual.

He looked at it and was stunned, and then muttered: "Wait, is Yulong Peak so high?"

In the past, the circular cliff of the valley was slightly higher than the Zuling Hall, but now he saw the cliff, that is, the vast wilderness outside the Yulong Valley.

Subconsciously releasing his divine thoughts, he instantly discovered... Well, Yulong Peak has really grown taller.

The mountainside where the small hut was located before was about 150 feet above the ground, but now it is 500 feet.

Well, this is normal... It's weird!

The divine sense swept over and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the others. Some were still sleeping, while some had already woken up and were getting up.

The fairy fields close at hand looked completely different from yesterday.

In the fairy field No. 1, there were all kinds of grasses, vines, shrubs, onions, ginger, and garlic that were tall and big, and flowers and fruits were everywhere.

No one took care of it or harvested it. At first glance, it looked strange and colorful, and even the ground was covered and could not be seen.

In the fairy field No. 2, the half purple wheat and half rouge rice planted at the end grew densely.

On the deep purple wheat stalks that were more than ten feet high, dozens of wheat grains were as big as grapes, and they also emitted a bright purple light in the darkness of dawn.

The same was true on the rice stalks of similar height. The huge rice grains were as red as blood, like jade.

The purple bamboo forest in the fairy field No. 3 was more than ten feet high.

Under the mountain breeze, the bamboo leaves moved slightly, rubbing against each other, making a faint tinkling sound, like a string of wind chimes coming from afar.

There are about ten unusually tall trees in the No. 4 fairy field, almost all of them have grown to 20 to 30 feet, which should be the first batch planted.

Below them are smaller trees of the same kind, about ten to several feet tall, which are obviously the "descendants" who sprouted and took root in the same place after the fruits fell.

Further down are the shrubs and grasses that like to grow under the forest, which are also lush and dense, and the land is covered without any trace.

Gu Ke flashed to the stone platform outside his bedroom. Not far away, there was a more obvious change, that is - the small thatched cottage.

At this moment, the stone platform where the small thatched cottage is located is almost ten feet lower than the stone platform of the bedroom, and when he sent everyone back to the room last night, the difference between the two was only about ten feet.

The ten-foot drop is made up by a slightly inclined stone wall, which is made of all blue-black stone, integrated and without any gaps.

Looking at it, it seems to be facing a stone wall made by computer in a magic movie, which is quite unscientific.
