Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 52
Since he failed to catch black fish, and even had no mouth for several hours, Chen Yu put all the earthworms left in the bamboo tube into the lettuce garden as soon as he returned yesterday—waiting for the next wild fishing. access.

The medicinal seeds cultivated in the jars remained silent, but the grain seeds on the wooden boards sprouted new sprouts in the past few days, and the tender green was tinged with a touch of snow-white.

However, after a closer look, it was found that except for the spring millet, the other three grains were stillborn and failed to germinate.

Fortunately, he had already expected this. Generally speaking, autumn knife wheat and Changbai millet are sown in summer, and it is normal for them to not sprout at this time. Jinyang rice is also expensive, and it is very fertile, so he dug it at will beforehand. It is not surprising that the ordinary soil from which it comes cannot grow.

In the end, only spring millet survived.

Huh?
At this time, Chen Yu, who was squatting by the board and looking at it, unexpectedly discovered that only the part watered by the psychic liquid seemed to grow, and the board catalyzed by the psychic spirit remained motionless like a seed of medicine.

Look at the third block without any additions, it is also quiet.Taking a closer look, I found a slender bud sprouting from a corner.

But... this seems to be Jinyang rice?
The seedlings of the four types of grains are different. Chen Yu consulted Uncle Liu carefully when he got the grains.So this moment is naturally not wrong.

So this should be just an accident, after all, I sprinkled a lot, but now only one grain has germinated, which shows that most Jinyang rice is still not used to this barren soil.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at the other two boards with completely different views.

Could it be that the catalytic effect of the spiritual machine is not as good as the spiritual liquid?
But when he thought about the cleverness in the medicine field before, he felt that this possibility was unlikely, and there might be other reasons.

Then Chen Yu remembered that the spring millet in the half-square mountain field outside the Taoist temple seemed to have been sown two days earlier, but at this time it still did not sprout like the wooden board in front of him.

So, the spiritual liquid can speed up the growth of plants?
Vaguely, he felt that even though the ectoplasmic liquid was not as good in catalytic effect, it was enough to attract attention just because it could speed up the growth of grain seeds.

There are only so many inspirations, and it takes a lot of effort to dig them every time. It's not like spiritual liquid, as long as a few Yuanling roots are planted in the medicine field, a lot can be produced.

If it is diluted with water, it can be used to irrigate the spring millet in that mountain field...

Chen Yu held back his thoughts that were about to move, and focused his attention on the present moment.

Whether the ectoplasmic liquid can speed up the ripening is still only a guess, at least it will not be confirmed until the growth state of the spring millet in the plank is revealed.

Furthermore, this kind of mutated plant irrigated with psychic liquid must be tried by Brother Ji first.

The ectoplasmic liquid is harmless, and the spring millet is also harmless, but who can say that the combination of the two will not cause some moths.

But having said that, if it turns out that everything is good, doesn't it mean that he has really grown a new variety of grain?
Thinking of the wish I made a long time ago, half an acre of square land will lose a thousand catties, and now it seems that it may really come true.

……

Various experiments are carried out in an orderly manner, and a lot of spiritual liquid has now been put in, and medicinal herbs, even grain seeds, vegetables, etc. have been included in the scope of observation.

Chen Yu didn't bother to keep an eye on him all the time, he was the only one on the mountain, and most of them were stored in the courtyard and the utility room at the moment, and the medicine field was idle, even if the greedy deer came to find it and stepped over the fence to eat it, it would be useless. eat.

After he washed the reed ginseng and crushed it, he prepared it into a plaster according to his experience last time. Because he was worried that the medicinal power would evaporate, he divided the seven short ginseng into three parts, and made about three tubes at a time, enough for six or seven days of consumption.

As for the Codonopsis ginseng seedling withered after a simple transplant, fortunately, it was rescued with spiritual liquid in the end, and it did not die.

In addition, the mountain crabs in the water tank were also taken away by six big ones and steamed, and the crab roe was soft and refreshing.

As for the remaining loach and crabs, Chen Yu kept them in tanks. He also took the time to go to the mountain to pick a basket of stones, and chopped a few bamboo tubes to build a temporary shelter for these food stores.

It's a pity that the water needs to be changed every three or two days, especially the loach has extremely high requirements on water quality, and it will turn over at every turn.

The loaches in one big tank, three small tanks and four tanks were placed in the smallest one, with rocks on the bottom and a layer of soft mud for them to drill.

As for food... the seven loaches still felt a little too much, and Chen Yu planned to cut down a few more soon, otherwise there would be almost not enough earthworms in the garden.

Besides, he has never cared so much about Master Daozu, and he accidentally forgot to offer incense just two days ago.

In fact, it’s not long since I raised it, and I just treat it as an idle thing to relax myself.

During this period of time, Chen Yu didn't stop at these things, so naturally he didn't relax in martial arts.After taking the previously refined Baiyun powder, it goes without saying that he is diligent.Rao didn't have a lot of medicinal powders to assist him, and with his current practice of keeping the spiritual liquid in his mouth every day, his liver organ became stronger and stronger, not to mention that the reed ginseng ointment was well prepared, and the daily exercise had been transferred back from 25 rounds of exercise to 36 rpm.According to the current speed, it is estimated that by the time he goes down the mountain to participate in the Jiuqi Guangsheng Zhudharma operation, he will have already achieved a small success.

This progress even surprised him.

Maybe, the ectoplasmic liquid also has the effect of improving physical fitness.

Although it was just a guess, he felt in his heart that it was very possible, otherwise no matter what, he would not have grown from an ordinary person who hadn't worked hard to the present state in just a few months.

One must know that even Qian Xuanzhong, who has studied martial arts since childhood and practiced martial arts for several years, is still stuck at the threshold of small success.

Of course, realms belong to realms, whoever is strong and who is weak still has to fight with real swords and guns in the final analysis.

Among warriors, apart from using strength to determine the third rate and strength to determine the top, the rest of the levels are mostly achieved by real skills.

The bigger the name, the more coveted people will come and challenge.

Speaking of the Tsing Yi Sword, Chen Yu remembered that the other party gave him two items at that time, a small bronze sword with exquisite workmanship, and a bag of Zhongyangzi.

Zhongyangzi is processed, unlike Codonopsis pilosula, which can be transplanted and cultivated again.

"It's a pity that Qi Yang is in Yunzhou, it's too far away from Xizhou."

Otherwise, he really wanted to visit the other party this time when he went down the mountain.But it is not certain, after all, less than [-] days have passed since Liu Bao was beheaded, and the other party may have left Guangyong Mansion with the intention of experiencing the Quartet.

And if he didn't leave, then he would definitely not miss the next Daoist grand event—not to mention that when similar events are held in this world, there is already a tradition of contesting heroes and promoting fame.

Probably at that time, a group of martial arts knights and scattered people from the rivers and lakes will come to join in the fun.

There is still some time left for the ceremony, and the rest are just trivial matters. What Chen Yu really cares about is the faint changes that have recently appeared.

The effect of the calling spirit strengthening technique is not as good as before.

It's not that after self-improvement, you want to be relatively weaker, but that the effectiveness of this method, which is specially used to stimulate the liver to improve the absorption capacity of spiritual fluid, is weakening.

The last time he was clearly noticed was a morning a few days ago, when he drank the spiritual liquid as usual and swallowed a mouthful of reed ginseng ointment, and immediately performed 36 revolutions.

However, the effect is slightly reduced.

The liver organ was still stimulated, but the spirit liquid in the intestines and stomach in the abdomen was divided and absorbed less.

On the whole, now one exercise is only worth about [-]% of what it is when practicing Yunhe Kung Fu.

36 times down, almost one complete Yunhe Kungfu carrying practice is missing.

Fortunately, the degree of weakening is not high, and it will not affect normal practice, but according to his estimation, if this weakening continues like this, it may become extremely difficult for him to absorb the spiritual fluid in the end.

At this point, Chen Yu couldn't help recalling that a certain earthworm he had experimented with also became stronger after being contaminated with spiritual liquid, but it stopped absorbing it after a few drops.

limit?
He didn't know that this might have really reached the upper limit of the human body's absorption, but whether there is a way to solve it has become the biggest problem.

Need to plan ahead.Even though he can still absorb the spiritual liquid and the speed is generally not slow, but since there are signs, he will naturally not just wait.

Chen Yu has been paying attention to this matter recently, and has been gathering various objects at hand, including those mutated plants and vegetables that have been catalyzed by inspiration.

The vegetable garden was turned over again, and the earthworms who had just returned home for a few days were dug out again.

Maybe it was really lucky.Chen Yu, who didn't give much hope, really made a new discovery in this pile of things.

Especially Qing Linggen, who had been put aside, gave him quite a surprise.
