Chapter 293 Four Beppu
Seeing that his new cave was completed, Bai Suqing couldn't help but be overjoyed and teleported directly there. Google search reading
Only then did Gu Ke pick up the small stone knife that Xiao Man had stuffed into his palm and throw it away.
The small stone knife traveled tens of thousands of miles and landed at the mouth of a large river in the southernmost part of Nanye Country.
This place meets her requirements, and no one has settled there yet. Xiaoman can finally fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a mountain king. As for the layout, Gu Ke didn't move at all.
Xiaoman is different from Sister Bai.
Sister Bai cannot be said to be lazy, she just has no preference for farming and other things.
So Gu Ke can arrange it for you
However, Xiaoman wants to build a "raw material base". In order to pursue the most suitable taste, many things have requirements for the environment and planting techniques.
This is much more troublesome than Sister Bai building mobile flowers and plants.
At least pruning and moving flowers and plants only needs to be pleasing to the eye, but planting is a science, and success will not be achieved just because "I think".
As soon as the cave was completed, Xiaoman immediately teleported there and also pulled Salanzhu with him.
The two of them used to make pointers there, talking about how to change the terrain here, what kind of soil is needed there, how to arrange water sources, etc.
In the end, the quiet little Ping'er was left, and she obediently offered the Heavenly Lady's Sword Shuttle.
It was more troublesome for Gu Ke to choose the location of the cave for her. After all, what others said was casual did not mean that he could really be casual.
Although Xiao Ping'er doesn't know "this won't work, that won't work either", if Bai Suqing and Xiao Man are too strong against her, they will not be beautiful after all. Then he took her little hand and used his spiritual mind to project the scenery of more than a dozen alternative locations to her.
Xiao Ping'er doesn't have ADHD like Xiao Man - she always likes to pick and choose, and quickly chooses one.
Gu Ke understood.
There is something like her hometown of Baiwei Village, with a large reed swamp.
I didn’t choose Baiwei Village because it had long been abandoned and had been affected by the war. Baiwei Marsh had already turned into a big puddle. Throwing the Heavenly Lady Sword Shuttle, the cave was formed, but Xiao Ping'er did not move.
Gu Ke looked at her: "Don't you want to go and see?'
Xiao Ping'er shook her head: "We'll go there when we have time. Now there are strange things everywhere in Dawu. What should you do if you can't handle it alone?
Gu Ke smiled and rubbed the small full moon hard: "Okay, okay, you are so considerate, how can I still be lazy?"
With a thought, Bai Suqing and the others also returned from their respective caves.
Gu Ke looked at them with a smile: "Everyone, do you want to change your job?"
Everyone remained silent and waited for him to continue.
Gu Ke nodded: "If you don't speak, you are acquiescing. Let's get started." As he spoke, an idea came to his mind.
A new contract suddenly appeared in the minds of the three Bai Suqing girls, and it turned out to be a one-to-one family contract.
In an instant, they understood the difference in this contract.
The family contract is still bound to Gu Ke, and he also has most of the permissions of the cave.
If the labor contract only has the "right to use", the family contract shares part of the "ownership".
Of course, Gu Ke is the only player, and the core authority of the system still belongs to him alone.
The three girls were stunned for a moment, but Xiao Man cheered, quickly left his mark on the contract, and signed it.
Bai Suqing's expression was as usual, but in her heart she was thinking: Xiaoman, you are such a weirdo, I knew you would take the first place!
Unfortunately, this time it was Sister Bai who came first.
Who told her to be in the Martial God realm? Xiao Man and Xiao Ping'er couldn't match her divine reaction speed.
It's just that she didn't say a word when she signed. Anyway, Gu Ke knew this well with her, so there was no need to say it.
It's actually quite interesting to see this weird thing like Xiao Man having fun.
From this point of view, Bai Suqing can be considered to have been "educated" by Gu Ke, and subconsciously she doesn't mind having some bad fun.
After the contract was replaced, the busy time finally arrived.
Everyone randomly chose a place in the corridor by the lake, lay on wooden chairs and bamboo couches and turned on the projection.
Now they can control the projection on their own without having to turn it on through Gu Ke or following him.
Gu Ke only adjusted the details of the projection, limiting its strength to less than 30% of the original body.
In this way, the soul source consumption used by the cave for projection is greatly reduced.
Smaller "output power" is easier to stabilize and maintain, which is enough to extend the projection time by more than three times, basically achieving the effect of full-time projection.
As for the problem of the weakening of the projection, it is not important at all. The projection is not afraid of death anyway.
Moreover, Xiao Ping'er and Xiao Man both have the strength of martial saints, so it would be a waste to deal with Xu Gui, and it would not be enough to defeat the spirit master and demon god.
The situation is still the same when it is reduced to less than 30%, but it can save consumption and save the situation at any time.
Bai Suqing was in the Martial God realm, and Gu Ke limited her projection power to less than 10%.
Anyway, she met the spirit master demon god, and he didn't mind going over to join in the fun and reap the spoils of his "number one" most powerful person.
As long as she takes credit for it, Sister Bai won't care if he comes to "steal someone's head."
To put it simply, what she wants is a "sense of existence" and has her own value in the cave.
For example, the eldest lady likes to be "number one" and will be satisfied knowing that she is the strongest.
As everyone lay down, their projections also appeared in various blessed places and cities in Dawu.
Xiao Man and Xiao Ping'er's Martial Saint-level pressure was released, immediately suppressing the monsters besieging the city and causing them to freeze and make it difficult to move.
The people who were fighting with them were not affected, and they continued to attack, immediately killing and wounding their opponents.
Such a change made many people stunned, and then Xiaoman and the others' telepathic voice rang in their minds: "The fairy mountain has come to suppress the monsters, why don't you act quickly.'
At the same time, circles of visible halos bloomed on their bodies and continued to spread in all directions.
Well, in fact, it is to stimulate the soul source and create light and shadow special effects. Its function is not to suppress the monsters, but to "show" that they have taken action.
This is naturally learned from Gu Ke.
Anyway, the monsters were really suppressed, and no one doubted whether these halos were effective.
The exhausted defenders were greatly encouraged, and they all summoned up their remaining courage and killed the monsters like drowning dogs.
At the same time, Gu Ke was also using the secret realm to continuously transfer the defenders from all over Dawu.
The blessed city, which had not been attacked much and had relatively intact strength, began to send reinforcements, Support other cities.
As Gu Ke and his men went out, they killed the monsters in the blessed cities one by one, and then attacked the surrounding areas and cleared them out one by one.
In this process, Gu Ke and his men rarely killed monsters. They usually just beat the strongest monsters to death and then threw them to the defenders in various places to make up for them.
Of course, some medium-sized cities suffered heavy losses and could not even find warriors to make up for them, so they had to kill them directly.
In the next ten days, with the help of Xianshan, the great warriors launched a crazy revenge on the monsters in the country.
The monsters suffered heavy casualties and were defeated and fled everywhere.
At this time, no one came out to support them.
If the virtual monsters dared to jump out and reorganize, it would be equivalent to having the label of "I am a big injustice" on their foreheads, and they would definitely be killed first.
The scene was even more chaotic than the previous war, but the chaos was mainly caused by the monsters. , Dawu was quickly rebuilding order.
After experiencing three natural disasters, Dawu's government and people have acquired considerable adaptability.
Although this war was tragic, the process of rebuilding order after the disaster was not much different.
The victims gathered towards the nearest medium-sized city. If the city was broken, they would move towards the larger city of the next level. Although the local government and major forces were short of manpower, they also tried to allocate some manpower to guide the way.
After the Xianshan was reopened, information flowed very quickly from all over the country. The middle and high-level officials knew that the population loss in various places in this war was heavy, and it was likely to reach half.
In the face of this magnitude of loss, the manpower gap will become an inevitable phenomenon for a long time, and the population will be the most scarce strategic resource.
Without enough population, even farmers, craftsmen, and second-wheel masters who wanted to be temporary workers in the jurisdiction could not be drawn. , will be extremely difficult. Because there is also a huge manpower gap below, and there is no more manpower to be drawn
Now gathering more people is the basis for the next rapid development.
After all, many people died in this war, and even more monsters died. A lot of monster corpses were traded to Xianshan in exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources.
And the dead do not need resources. With half of the population missing, the cultivation resources obtained by the survivors will double
It is good for ordinary talents to have twice the cultivation resources, but the upper limit of future achievements is just so-so.
Those with good or even excellent talents are likely to cross the threshold directly with this wave of resources and soar into the sky.
This war destroyed many original forces, and the official and large and small forces of various countries also suffered heavy losses. It just took the opportunity to gather a group of "ownerless" good seedlings for their own use.
On the other hand, with Gu Ke's instigation, the news that the four ancestors of Xianshan transformed into a wonderland and permanently suppressed the four directions of Dawu also spread completely.
Of course, this "ending" cannot be said to be the death of the four ancestors, but since it has turned into a strange land, they should not be able to run around, right? This is the idea of the officials and forces of all countries in Dawu.
Without the four ancestors whose strength is so high that it makes people despair, many people's little thoughts naturally emerge.
It is of course impossible to rebel against the fairy mountain.
The four ancestors are gone, but there are still the four fairy ladies.
Whether they can deal with the spirit master demon god of the monster world is not sure.
But they can definitely deal with the countries of Dawu.
Moreover, the sincere people of the fairy mountain are all over Dawu, including the first martial saint of Dawu, Su Yulou, who is suspected to be a sincere person.
No matter how stupid the top leaders of various countries are, they will not have such a deadly idea, that will kill the whole family.
Their little thoughts are just to compete for resources and stabilize their own status at the beginning of the "post-fairy mountain period".
And to stabilize their own status, some things must no longer be "fairy mountain first".
In short, they need to intercept "a little bit" from the fairy mountain resources obtained from this war and train a small number of core members.
Having ruled Dawu for so many years, they are familiar with this method.
Especially when the old and the new take over, no one will pursue the extra "loss".
Besides, Xianshan has never been the master of Dawu, and it has never claimed this title.
Those interceptions are just small matters, and will not cause Xianshan to make a big fuss.
In fact, the starting point of their speculation is wrong, but the conclusion is inexplicably correct.
Gu Ke, the "real body" of the ancestor, is alive and well, but he does not take these people's little thoughts seriously.
If you want to talk about partiality, he is more partial than them.
Whether the middle and high-level officials of various countries can eventually maintain their status in Dawu by using these means is an unknown.
When Dawu enters a stage of rapid development, the forces that cannot keep up with the situation will decline sooner or later.
Now the high-level officials of various countries are still the waves of the times. In a few dozen or hundreds of years, they will probably be mud and sand at the bottom.
Gu Ke has no relatives or friends with them, so he is too lazy to spend more time on these people.
In the fifth and forty-fifth year of Dawu, on the seventh day of the fifth month, the summer solstice.
Fenglingdu in the middle of Zhongting, where the two rivers merge into the Tianhe River.
The barren mountains and beaches and some rivers that were originally located on one side of the Tianhe River, with a radius of 100 miles, were incorporated into the cave house halfway up the mountain and then disappeared into the void.
This caused the businessmen and old boatmen who sailed on the Tianhe River to discuss a lot, and finally came to a unanimous conclusion: it must have been affected by the war, causing a small change in the river channel.
However, most of the "disappeared" places are not conducive to sailing, and the benefits to the merchants and people who sailed on the boats are greater than the disadvantages.
Therefore, after a few casual remarks, no one cared about it anymore.
More than a month has passed since the war, and the war in Dawu has not disappeared, but the area and scale involved are not one-third of the initial-
People in most areas have begun to resume their normal lives.
The war not only brought huge losses, but also delayed a lot of time. This year will be much busier than before.
In the confluence of the three rivers, the fertile land in Zhongting cannot be wasted.
Moreover, ten days after the start of this war, the weather in the middle of the courtyard became inexplicably hot.
After Dawu was connected to the demon world, the daily temperature dropped by more than ten degrees.
The middle of the courtyard was better, but it would not start "spring sowing" until the summer of April and May.
Once the temperature rose, it reached the temperature for spring sowing in March.
This is no small matter.
If the temperature could always be higher by a few degrees, at least one more season of grain could be harvested a year, and many crops that could not be planted could be replanted.
The three natural disasters all caused serious disasters, and the lack of food was always a problem.
No one can ignore food. If the forces of all sizes have no food, the morale of their subordinates will be unstable.
If the lower-class people have no food, their whole family will starve.
Even if the war is not over, the middle of the courtyard is full of people busy farming at this moment, and their strength is generally not high.
Most of the people with high strength responded to the call of the fairy mountain and went to various places in Dawu to kill the demons and fleeing soldiers.
As long as enough people are killed, it is not difficult for one person to feed a family of dozens or even dozens of people.
Of course, ordinary people are always the largest group, so it is not that there are no people farming in various places.
However, Zhongyuan is the area that suffered the most in this war, and the population has dropped sharply.
At this moment, there are too many vacant fields, and no matter how busy the people are, they can't finish farming. They can only sigh while looking at the "fields". Banshan Biefu, this is the name given by the eldest lady herself.
The so-called Banshan is naturally because the residence is halfway up the mountain.
In fact, this "mountain" is modeled after Yulong Peak, and it is built one-to-one. The one-to-one imitation is not the current Yulong Peak, but the Yulong Peak before the eldest lady left Yulong Cave Mansion.
The residence is named Banshan Bieyuan, and the layout of the house is also 50% similar to Yulong Peak at the beginning.
