Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Zhang Shanshen smiled, recalled the past, and said:

"More than four hundred and seventy years ago, when the first mountain god on Yunzhongshan left his post, a dream was entrusted to the Zheng county magistrate at that time, and asked him to select the deceased talents to take over the position and manage Yunzhongshan."

"At that time, I had a family life. I passed away not long ago, and I was well-known during my lifetime. The magistrate of Zheng County visited the village, and after learning about the situation, he wrote an imperial edict and announced my name to all directions, so that it was well known by the villagers at that time."

"He sent people to renovate this mountain temple, and then held many sacrifices with me as the new mountain god. With the approval of this matter, there were many people, and under the influence of inspiration, I was recognized by heaven and earth, and I returned from that reincarnation He was dragged back and took office here."

"There are rules between heaven and earth. When I came to this mansion, I knew in my heart that I had become a mountain god, and I naturally understood my responsibilities. For the past five hundred years, I have been conscientious and hardworking, and I am worthy of this body."

After the voice fell, the mountain god touched the teacup, saw that the temperature was right, and said:

"Shangxian, please drink tea."

Fang Chang nodded, picked up the thin porcelain cup, and carefully admired it. In the white inner wall of the tea set, the light green tea soup exudes a delicate fragrance, and the color is very pleasant.

Take a sip, the temperature is suitable, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and it feels better than the usual bamboo tube.

If I have a chance in the future, I will make a set by myself, but the current kiln temperature is not enough, and I still need to find porcelain clay and glaze, so I can't do it in a short time.

He went on to ask:

"Zhang Shanshen, I didn't ask in detail last time, does the mountain god still have a term?"

"certainly."

The mountain god put down the teacup in his hand and replied with a smile:

"It's not uncommon for the gods to be unclear. Gods are different from practitioners. We are naturally produced by heaven and earth. We follow the way. We are like mortal officials with responsibilities. Unlike practitioners, we are free and easy."

"But there is nothing eternal in the world, and the position of the mountain god is the same. After serving for a long time, you will know when your merits and virtues are complete. When the time comes, you will naturally pass away and reincarnate to a good family."

"The role of human gods such as mountain gods and lands is the best place to go, not only because they can live for thousands of years, but also because they can accumulate merit and virtue. Reincarnation is still human, and reincarnation goes to good places..."

Picking up the pot to refill water for both parties, the mountain god continued to share with Fang Chang about the duties of the mountain god.

The mountain god also told Fang Chang that there are many works on this in the "Miscellaneous Notes on Geography, Mountains and Rivers" that he gave as a gift.

Fang Chang didn't know much about these trivial matters, so he excitedly opened the book, searched for two articles with the mountain god, and chatted happily.

After chatting for a while, the mountain god sighed:

"This mountain in the clouds, the mountains are good, the water is good, the scenery is good, the animals and plants have spiritual energy, but there are few people. There are only a few monsters that have transformed into horizontal bones, but they also have their own lives, and there are a few that are difficult to communicate with. .”

"Being a mountain god for hundreds of years, the most I feel is boredom."

"I don't know if Zhang Shan can master the four arts?" Fang Chang asked.

"Before I was born, I was considered a rough person. When I was young, I went to private schools for a few years, and I could still read characters, but I didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If I thought about it, I wouldn't be bored."

"Well, if you stay at the game, you have a chance. You can make two chessboards and play chess together."

"It's so good, I have to be taught by the gods then."

…………

...

Fang Chang's back basket fell apart.

After so much use, it finally becomes overwhelmed and worn out.

The back basket that had been repaired was not supported, and when Fang Chang put a few big rocks into it and carried it on his back, it was scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the vines that collapsed on the ground, Fang Chang silently put them away, grabbed them and went back up the cliff. The few big rocks were thrown here first, anyway, they were just rocks.

The vines grew very fast, and after Fang Chang continued to collect them, the vines above the valley beside the Xianqi Cliff did not decrease.

This time he chose a batch of thick old vines, cut them down, tied them with thin vines, and carried them back to the hut. The old baskets were dead, and it was time to replace them with stronger and more durable ones. It was also time to collect some copper ore and bring them back. .

When he went to face the pangolin monster and solve the water source problem in Linxi Village, in the battle that didn't happen, Fang Chang could feel that he was very lacking in protective equipment.

The straight-backed small jade table knife that never leaves the body is relatively inconvenient and too small.

It's good for cooking, but it's not enough for body protection.

Although after these days of companionship, this small jade knife is more aura because of its material, but after all, jade is not a metal, and its texture is soft. If the other party has a magic weapon, it may suffer some disadvantages.

Taking out the knife on his body, he pulled it out of the bark sheath, and Fang Chang held it in his hand to play with.

He has always been very careful with this knife, he didn't use it to chop hard objects, but only used it to cut meat and vegetables, or cooked food, without even touching the bones.

Therefore, there is no scratch on the jade knife, and because it is always with you, this small jade knife seems to have a little charm, and it is more agile when it rotates.

The straight back of the knife looks very pleasing to the eye, the palm-length blade is very sharp, and the back handle is wrapped with a thin rope made of rattan leather, which is seamless and smooth.

This piece is excellent.

But it's a knife after all.

Next, dig some copper ore to smelt it and make a sword.

Reinserting the knife into the bark sheath and putting it back on his body, Fang Chang continued to weave the basket with his head bowed.

The water in the clay pot beside the firepit was already boiling, and while the water was tumbling, he scooped up water to make a bamboo tube of tea and put it aside, weaving it slowly but steadily with his hands.

Because of its infinite strength, the thick rattan is as easy to use as a cloth belt, and the fingers are running around to weave this extraordinarily strong basket.

Take a light pat and it's pretty solid.

Taking the ropes made by Boring the night before from the wall, Fang Chang dexterously tied the ropes into wide flat straps, fixed them up and down on both sides of the basket, and completed the last step.

Holding it in his hand and looking at it, he smiled at his new basket:

"Well, I hope you can survive for a year or so."

Roasted the beast's hind leg and ate it, drank the tea in the bamboo tube next to it in one gulp, Fang Chang used a descaling technique on his mouth, then carried the new basket on his back, and went down towards Xianqi Cliff.

The mountain where the pangolin monster dug through the water vein was still some distance away, only a few hills away from Linxi Village.

In the valley next to this mountain, there are outcrops of copper mines.

For monsters, being able to refine crossbones is something that can be called a great monster, but their cultivation levels are uneven, or in other words, refining crossbones requires chance and luck.

Among the monsters that Fang Chang had seen, the pangolin monster was truly powerful.

Although he hadn't done anything, he could feel that the pangolin monster was far stronger than the monkeys, dogs, cows, foxes and the like he had encountered, but he was frightened by himself at the time and surrendered suddenly.

It's just that it can still be seen that the pangolin is too cunning and dull, or not kind, and it doesn't pay attention to its own advice, so I don't know if there will be troubles in the future.

The vegetation in the valley is sparse and deserted, but there are large areas of malachite distributed.

Xie Xi gave a reward for his thoughts of traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, flying feathers in the wind, and unconstrained style.
