Chapter 367 The Story of Shepherd at Sea

In the spring of the fourth year of Baojing, there was a drought and little rain in the north, and a spring drought broke out.In some places the river is no more than knee-deep.Emperor Baojing opened an altar to offer sacrifices and prayed for rain.

After two years of construction, Qingzhou Prefecture has erected windmills throughout the territory. Because of the power of windmills to pump water, Qingzhou Prefecture is a rare place that has not affected production due to the drought in the north.

A trickle of water flows down the pipes, from the water towers, into huge cisterns, which are covered and sealed to prevent evaporation.When irrigation is needed, the reservoir can be opened to draw water out for irrigation.

The green wheat seedlings swayed gently in the wind. The old farmers watched this scene with happy faces, and gathered together to drink water and brag.

"I heard that the crops in Henan Province have not sprouted yet, so it is estimated that this year's harvest will not be good." An old farmer said.

"That's right, it's really difficult if it doesn't rain." Another old farmer said.

They didn't show any worry. Anyway, there was a windmill, so they didn't have to expect rain.It's good to have rain, and it's not worrying if there is no rain.That's where they are now.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhang's windmill, otherwise, wouldn't we have to flee famine?" An old farmer said with a smile.

"That's right, thanks to Mr. Zhang!" The other old farmers sighed in admiration.

At this time, someone laughed and said: "Be careful, someone will come to steal our windmill later!" Last year, many idlers from Dengzhou and Laizhou came here to steal windmills.The people of Qingzhou Mansion had to organize manpower to patrol day and night, because they were afraid that the windmill on their water tower would be gone if they woke up overnight.

Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-theft of windmills have become the consensus of the rural areas of Qingzhou Prefecture!Windmills, like the old cattle at home, are important production materials and must be prevented from being stolen.

It's just that this old cow can still be taken home to watch. It is unrealistic to dismantle the windmill and take it home. We can only send people to patrol day and night.All of a sudden, more and more people keep dogs.

Even Master Zhang Wei has a dog, why doesn't his family follow suit?
Due to the severe drought in the north, only Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Tai'an Prefecture were not affected.Tai'an prefecture copied Zhang Wei's windmill and built a windmill workshop, so windmills are also popular in Tai'an prefecture.

It's a pity that there is no patent law in this world, otherwise Zhang Wei would definitely sue them!
However, due to the existence of the steel factory, Zhang Wei's windmills are of good quality and low price, and they still have a very competitive advantage.People who have used it in Tai'an Prefecture will secretly switch to windmills produced in Qingzhou Prefecture.

After the reputation of the windmill spread, businessmen from all over the world began to purchase windmills.The first to come were people from Tang Guangfu.

Huang Jun's father was an acquaintance of Tang Guangfu, and because he had a relationship with Zhang Wei, he first sent people here to buy a windmill.Then the two parties signed the windmill order.

Every few days, there are cargo ships pulling windmills to Tang Guangfu.The new type of iron-framed ship has stronger wind and wave resistance, and can be built larger, which soon reflects the advantages of the iron-framed ship.

On this day, Zhang Wei was refining a batch of 'Water-avoiding Insect Pill', which Zhang Wei had mastered a long time ago. The function of this pill is to keep the water from rotting when placed in water.

The ancients believed that water would rot because there were water bugs in the water, which were invisible to the naked eye. Boiling and exposing to the sun could delay the rot of the water body.But this is not a long-term solution, as long as the water is left for a long time, water bugs will always breed.

So some monks invented the 'Shuishui Chong Dan', just put one in the water tank, it can keep the water from spoiling, and it still tastes sweet when you drink it.Wait until the elixir has melted, and then put another one in.

This is a must-have elixir for ocean voyages.But still the same sentence, elixir is not an ordinary thing, it needs an alchemist to refine it.How can ordinary people afford it?This elixir is also mostly used within the radiation range of the Louvre.

Because there are many alchemists in the Louvre, and the shipping there is developed.

It was only when Zhang Wei arrived in Qingzhou that he began to refine this elixir.Ever since he took the 'Water and Fire Invasion Pill', Zhang Wei basically has no relationship with the flame.

Alchemy requires setting fire, and now Zhang Wei has lost the ability to set fire.This fire refining method basically has nothing to do with Zhang Wei.So Zhang Wei is now alchemy, is using star alchemy.

Use the Jutian Yinxing Banner to guide the starlight, and the star refining technique can refine a large amount of 'water-avoiding insect pill' at one time.Moreover, Zhang Wei refined this low-level elixir very quickly.

Not long after, [-] water-repelling insect pills were refined and ready to be sold.

At this time, a servant suddenly said to Zhang Wei: "Master, someone is looking for you."

Zhang Wei put away the star refining technique and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

"He said he was called Fei Dee."

Hearing the name, Zhang Wei smiled and said, "So it's an old friend, please come in quickly!"

After the servant heard this, he went to invite Fei Dexi. Zhang Wei also came to the living room and saw Fei Dexi.

Long time no see, flying evil is still the same.The two cupped their hands, and the servants offered fragrant tea, and then Zhang Wei asked, "Brother Fei, why come to me when you have time? But what's the mission?"

Feide waved his hands viciously and said: "Can there be any tasks, brother Zhang is busy with personnel, how dare we bother."

Zhang Wei quickly said: "Brother Fei really makes me feel ashamed for saying that."

He is really busy now, so that he doesn't have much time to take care of those chores.

Fei Dexi also understood him very well, and he said: "This time I am not here to send you a task, but to let you go to Dijun's treasure house to get treasures. Didn't Dijun promise to pick two treasures for you! Why did you take so long? Don't even want it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei couldn't help being stunned. He suddenly said that after the trial of Tang Long's case was over, Emperor Ziwei really wanted him to go to the treasure house to pick out two treasures.He was so busy, he really forgot!

Looking at Zhang Wei's appearance, he knew that he didn't take this matter to heart at all.He sighed in his heart, this person is really incomparable!
Then he continued: "You go to the emperor's treasure house to pick two treasures, and then we go to see Xingyunbuyu."

Zhang Wei said strangely: "Xingyun spreads rain? Why should we go and see?"

Fei Dexi said: "This time it's a large-scale cloud distribution and rainstorm. We went there just in case. It's really nothing, we really want to go and see."

The rain in the heaven is equivalent to the intervention of the gods in the movement of the heaven and the earth.Normally, it is a natural behavior to rain, but if it rains too much or too little, heavenly intervention is required.

This needs to involve many heavenly court departments.First of all, the dragons of the dragon clan carry water vapor, and they are responsible for transporting a large amount of water vapor from the four seas to the sky.

In the sky, the gods of the wind department are needed to bring the water vapor to the destination.Then there are the gods of the Ministry of Water who are responsible for turning the water vapor into raindrops.This is what makes it rain.

And the Leibu will also participate in it. The Leibu is a thug for safety.

Cloud distribution and rain is a large-scale project. For small-scale rainfall, you can also use the magic spell of "calling the wind and calling the rain" to move the surrounding rain clouds to rain.However, this spell can affect a radius of ten miles at most, because the essence of this spell is to transport rainwater from other places to the destination, which is an act of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

But now the north is almost dry for thousands of miles, and there is no trace of moisture in the sky for thousands of miles. How can it rain?

It is still necessary to directly mobilize water vapor from the four seas to replenish rainfall.

Without further ado, Zhang Wei and Fei Dexi left Qingzhou Mansion soon. After a space change, Zhang Wei appeared in a sealed space, which is the treasure house of Emperor Ziwei.

There are many treasures floating in the treasury, some treasures are materials, and some treasures are already finished products.In Ziwei Emperor's Treasure House, there is one fate.Treasures that are destined to you will always appear by your side, and treasures that are not destined to you, you can't find them no matter how hard you look.

Therefore, the treasure house that everyone enters is different.

Just like when Zhang Wei came in this time, there were more than a dozen treasures by his side, and these treasures were all related to Zhang Wei.Emperor Ziwei is good at numbering, and there is a divination method called Ziwei Doushu.So it's not surprising that Emperor Ziwei used this method to give treasures to others.

Zhang Wei looked at the things around him, and he saw an alchemy furnace at a glance.But this alchemy furnace is the alchemy furnace of the fire refining method, and he is useless now.In addition to the alchemy furnace, there is also a small sword, a whisk, and a clean bottle.

These are finished products, besides these, there are some materials.For example, the great light of the cave and the sky sealed in a piece of crystal, a medicinal material similar to ginseng, a drop of water, a ball of flame, a keel and so on.

Zhang Wei looked at these things, thought for a while, and chose two of them.

The same is the Daoguang of Dongtian, this thing can make his gourd cave evolve, and now his gourd cave is still too small.

The other thing is the keel.This keel is a dragon spine, but unlike other dragons, this dragon has a strong Yin Qi.This is a rare yin dragon!

Like people, if a dragon dies and is buried in some peculiar place, there is a chance that the dragon will become a zombie dragon.Because the whole body of a dragon is precious, it is almost impossible for a dragon to be buried with all its beard and tail after death.This makes it virtually impossible to form zombie dragons.

If it is really formed, it is naturally extremely rare.

Emperor Ziwei did not know where to get a complete spine of a zombie dragon, and this bone is actually related to Zhang Wei!

Zhang Wei immediately accepted the spine, and in this way, the two treasures he chose became.

When he finished his selection, he was immediately sent out of the emperor's treasure house and returned to Fei Dexi's side.

Seeing Zhang Wei coming back, Flying Evil didn't ask him what treasure he chose, but said, "Let's go to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea together and supervise them to transport the steam from the four seas to the sky."

Zhang Wei nodded, and flew towards the depths of the East China Sea following Fei Dee.

Before reaching the East China Sea Dragon Palace, Zhang Wei saw a group of white sheep running on the sea.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei's eyes widened involuntarily.Below is the sea!So there will be a large group of Aries?
These white sheep are round and bulging, and they keep making 'baa-baa-baa' calls, very much like a group of Cantonese.A few young men and women are holding whips and are constantly driving the flock of sheep.

Don't think that sheep are honest, sheep follow the crowd blindly.When a sheep escapes from the team, the sheep following behind will also escape together regardless of the three sevens and 21s!Then the team will be led astray by this inexplicable sheep.

At this time, it is necessary for the shepherd to run over, cheat, beat, and use various methods to bring the sheep that strayed first back to the right path.In this process, there may be another sheep behind this sheep, and then the team will be split again...

"This...is this the story of Shepherd on the Sea?" Zhang Wei muttered to himself.

But Fei Dexi beside him smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? These sheep are rain sheep. They are not real sheep, but formed from balls of water vapor."

He paused, then said, "Those shepherds are the people of the dragon clan. The most important job of those dragon sons and daughters when they were young was to herd rain sheep."

At this time, a dragon chant suddenly sounded from the sky and the earth, and several giant dragons flew out from the bottom of the sea.When they fly into the sky, their bodies will continue to rotate, and then drive a huge amount of sea water to churn.

While the sea water was churning, big white sheep fell out of the sea foam one by one. At this time, those young men and women would rush up and catch the newly born rain sheep back into the flock.

These newly born rain sheep were very violent at the beginning, hitting people everywhere and running around.But after all, sheep are a kind of animals that follow the crowd blindly. As long as they are thrown into the flock, these violent big white sheep will immediately calm down, and they will "bleat and bleat" together with the large group.As if they were saying hello to each other.

After this burst of sea water churning, the giant dragon in the sky suddenly fell into the sea again, then swam continuously in the sea, then stirred the sea water, and flew out again!
Every time they take off, they have to drive a huge amount of sea water to generate varying numbers of rain sheep.Again and again, they are able to complete the work of collecting huge amounts of water vapor.

The giant dragon at this time is a ruthless rain sheep maker.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei finally understood why those underage dragon sons and dragon girls had to come out to herd sheep, because adult dragons had to do more tiring work!
Even if the giant dragon is a natural alien, doing this a dozen times will exhaust its energy, and then it will lie in the sea like a corpse.But this severe drought in the north requires a lot of water vapor, these giant dragons can't rest for long, and they have to devote themselves to new work.

The dragon clan, for the sake of human beings, is still very hard...

At this time, suddenly there was a gust of wind, and all the dragons became nervous.And Fei Dexi immediately said: "Get ready to fight!"

Before Zhang Wei asked why, a big hand suddenly appeared in the dark wind, and grabbed the sheep.

Seeing this, several dragon sons and dragon girls immediately turned into a few small dragons, and bit the big hand!Flying evil immediately released the throwing knife and hit the big hand.

Seeing this, the other giant dragons could only roar helplessly. They were so tired that they didn't have the energy to stop this big hand.

A few small dragons are only two to three feet long, facing that big hand, they look like little loaches.Their attacks are obviously weak and pathetic.

The flying knife turned into a white light, and immediately circled around the big hand. Although the flying knife was sharp, it also cut a hole in the big hand, but it didn't stop the big hand from grabbing the sheep.

The big white sheep didn't resist at all, and several of them were caught by big hands at once.At this time, Zhang Wei finally made a move.

He turned into a thunderbolt, and hit the big hand fiercely!

With the strength of the Void Refining Realm, plus the fact that he is the body of the innate source of thunder, there is no problem for Zhang Wei to transform into a thunderbolt, and the power of this thunderbolt, like a thunder from heaven, directly curled up that big hand.

As if being electrocuted, people subconsciously clenched their fists.The same is true for this big hand. It curled up subconsciously and threw the big white sheep out of its hand.

After being shocked, the big hand was also angry, and suddenly grabbed Zhang Wei.At this time, Zhang Wei went up to greet him unceremoniously, and hit the big hand again.

While the thunder of 'Zi Zi' flickered, the big hand resisted Zhang Wei's attack and continued to grab Zhang Wei.

At this moment, Zhang Wei sneered and said, "You're not afraid of electricity, are you? Then you can stand this trick!"

As soon as his words fell, he reversed direction and fell towards the big white sheep.

The essence of the big white sheep is a cloud of water vapor, and water vapor can conduct electricity!When Zhang Wei's body suddenly exploded in the flock, these big white sheep suddenly let out a loud cry of "baa~", and then all the sheep jumped up, the white hair all over their bodies became more fluffy, directly bringing up countless blue electric glow.

"One hundred thousand rain sheep! Click!" Zhang Wei yelled softly, relying on his innate body of thunder source, wrapped in countless lightning lights from rain sheep, formed a huge lightning, and hit the big hand past!

"It's going to happen!" A panicked shout came from the dark wind, and he immediately put away his big hands in fright.

But it was too late now, Zhang Wei rushed directly into the dark wind with a huge thunderbolt in his arms, and exploded violently!
'Crackling'

'ZiZiZiZi'

'Boom boom boom'

The thunder was raging presumptuously, and there was no room for another color in the sky besides the color of thunder and lightning.

After a while, Lei Ting calmed down and disappeared.

The big white sheep on the sea was still screaming 'baa-baa-baa', as if nothing had happened. Those dragons looked at the sky, and then smelled the stench of burnt meat.

With a bang, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and hit the sea heavily.

It was a charred corpse with arms and legs, as if it was a human being.But his body surface is covered with a lot of hair, and his mouth is also a monkey gill.Like a water monkey.

Zhang Wei landed on the corpse, looked at the corpse carefully, and said, "So it's the tide."

The so-called water tide is a water monster that can create strong winds and waves. It looks like a monkey, but its body is extremely tall, usually tens of feet high.This kind of goblin cannot be seen in Dagan, they only live in the ocean.

Flying so badly, he landed next to Zhang Wei, looked at the huge tide and said, "This monster is not easy to deal with, Brother Zhang is really strong."

At this time, those dragon sons and dragon girls also leaned over. They looked at Zhang Wei, cupped their hands and said, "Thank you for your help, senior. May I ask your name?"

Zhang Wei cupped his hands casually and said, "I'm Zhang Wei."

When Long Zi and Long Nu heard this, they looked at each other in dismay, then smiled awkwardly and left.They naturally recognized the name Zhang Wei, and killed two dragons of their dragon clan!
Longzi and Longnv left in embarrassment, Zhang Wei asked Fei Dee: "Did you ask me to come and take a look because you thought the tide would come?"

Feide shook his head and said: "I didn't count it, but something must come." He pointed to the large group of rain sheep and said: "These things are huge balls of water vapor, many water goblins, Immortals and monks will be greedy for this thing."

"Water vapor can be used for people's cultivation, and it has various uses. With so much water vapor concentrated here, how can it not make people greedy. This water tide is also risky, and I want to catch a few rain sheep."

Zhang Wei suddenly understood that these rain sheep are like wallets, and everyone wants to come and grab a handful of wool.

At this time, a dragon girl suddenly came up and said: "Seniors, we are going to send this batch of rain sheep to heaven, please take care of them."

Fei Dexi nodded and said, "Yes, you guys can act."

The dragon girl nodded and returned to her tribe, and then the dragon sons and dragon girls began to wave their whips to drive away the large group of rain sheep.And those giant dragons took advantage of this time to take a good rest.

To bring rain to the north, this group of rain sheep is obviously not enough. They have to work for several days to gather enough water vapor.

More than a dozen dragon sons and dragon daughters were whistling and waving their whips. At this time, they were not like those pampered dragons at all, but weather-beaten herdsmen.

Yu Yang started to move and gradually flew towards the sky.The dragon sons and dragon girls became more focused, they wanted to prevent some sheep from leading other sheep astray.

Zhang Wei and Fei Dexi followed behind, at this moment, another strange wind blew from the sky.The strange wind rolled towards Yuyang.

Zhang Wei saw this, and immediately a thunderbolt struck, knocking back the strange wind.Then he yelled: "Go on, don't worry about other things, I have everything."

After he finished speaking, he flew into the flock of sheep, and a huge amount of thunder began to erupt from his body.The rain sheep beside him were infected by the thunder, and they were all electrified.

There are more and more strange winds in the sky, and many gods, monks, and goblins are hiding in the strange winds, just to gather a handful of wool.

The strange wind is moving with the flock, just like a wolf following the flock, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Suddenly, the strange wind started to move, and more than a dozen strange winds rushed towards the flock of sheep with a tacit understanding. Their goal was to sweep away a few Yu sheep and run away.

But Zhang Wei just pointed at this time, and dozens of thunderbolts hit the strange wind, instantly repelling the strange wind.

The strange wind was repulsed, but they quickly came up again, and the silent communication spread in the strange wind. The next moment, more strange wind suddenly stirred up, rolling towards the flock of sheep again.

'Snapped'

'Snapped'

'Clap clap clap'

What greeted them was Zhang Wei's dozens of thunderbolts.

The blue and white thunderbolts shot out, knocking the strange wind away continuously, but more strange winds joined in. They tried to use this crowd tactics to consume Zhang Wei's thunderbolts.

It's just that their calculations were wrong, because after Zhang Wei became the innate source of thunder, he continuously mobilized thunder from the surroundings, and his thunder was almost endless.

At this time, Zhang Wei, as if playing a tower defense game, turned himself into a lightning tower, constantly attacking waves of strange winds, in order to protect the sheep around him!
