mountain ghost

Chapter 39
Wine is the dew of Yaotai, which can relieve the worries of the world, and the fragrance penetrates the mortal world, and drunken the heavenly beings.

In those ancient legends, gods do not eat the grains of the world, but they only have a soft spot for things like wine.

Lu Chen used to like to have a drink when he had nothing to do, but after time travelling, he really had no chance to taste it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofan would actually bring wine, he is quite sensible.

"I know that Master Xian is a practitioner and doesn't like five grains, so I specially prepared two jugs of good wine. These are all 20-year-old wines from Xinghualou. They are good things that can't be bought even if you have money. You should try them, Master Xian. "

While speaking, Lin Xiaofan had already taken out the food and wine from the basket, because there were no such things as tables, chairs and benches in the temple, so they could only be placed on the stone bricks at the entrance.

After pouring out a glass, Lu Chen took the glass and tasted it.

This apricot blossom wine is mellow and soft, with an excellent taste. There is a faint fragrance of apricot blossom in the mouth. It is indeed a good wine. I couldn't help but nodded. Lin Xiaofan glanced at him and said, "Okay, you've worked so hard to come to the mountains, it's impossible just to treat me to a drink? What's the matter, just tell me."

"The immortal master has a wonderful plan, and he really can't hide anything from you."

Lin Xiaofan replied with a smile, "To tell you the truth, Xiaofan actually came here for two things, and he wanted to ask the immortal master for advice."

Good guy, there are two things when you open your mouth.

Lu Chen shook his head and said noncommittally: "Let's listen first."

"First of all, this is the first thing. Cui Niang, a villager in Qinghua Village, was robbed by thieves. Thanks to the help of the immortal master, she was able to turn the crisis into safety. In order to repay the kindness of the immortal master, the whole village voluntarily entered the mountain and wanted to renovate the temple for the Lord of the Mountain God. , Renew the incense. Let me come here today to ask for the opinion of the immortal master. After all, you are the temple owner of this place, and you need your approval to start the renovation."

Renovate the temple?

Hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback.

He rescued Cuiniang that day, it was just a matter of raising his hands, and he got the Misty Rain Map and the Feedback of Wish Force, which was already rewarded, and he didn't think about other rewards.

But I didn't expect that the villagers of Qinghua Village were so simple and enthusiastic.

He actually wanted to come to the mountain to rebuild the temple for him.

This is actually a good thing.

Although Lu Chen didn't care about these extraneous things, after all, he would live here in the future. Who would want to live in a dilapidated temple every day? It's not like he's sick. Even real gods would definitely prefer grand and solemn temple halls with strong incense.

It's not like it is now, tattered and no one cares about it.

"The villagers have a heart of faith and voluntarily renovate the temple. This can be regarded as an offering to the gods. Naturally, I have no objections. However, the renovation of the temple is a huge project, and a lot of gold and silver must be consumed. It is a waste of money..."

"There is no need for the immortal master to worry about this. Xiaofan's family is also considered to have little property. I have not repaid the immortal master's life-saving grace back then, and this time I will do my best."

Lin Xiaofan said with a smile.

But seeing that Lu Chen frowned slightly, as if he was about to refuse, he quickly said, "Master Immortal, don't refuse in a hurry. My contribution this time is just to show my heart, and I will never ask the Immortal Master to teach me the way of practice. Besides, Xiaofan There is another matter that needs your advice and help from the old man, after you listen to it, you can decide whether to agree or not."

Hearing what he said, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to refuse.

He nodded and said, "Let's talk about the second matter."

"It's like this. Last time I was taught by the immortal master, Xiaofan has the intention to do good and change his past mistakes. Therefore, he plans to build a commercial road in the Taihang Mountains to benefit one side."

"Business route?"

"Yes. Taihang Mountain has a special geographical location. It stretches for thousands of miles and straddles the two prefectures of Taiyuan, Huaiyin. Okay, it’s very inconvenient. I think it will be more convenient if a business road can be built in the mountains..."

"What you said is just for business profit, and it has little to do with benefiting one party, right?"

"This is only one aspect. The immortal master may not know that there are thousands of large and small mountain villages around the Taihang Mountains. They are scattered around the mountains. The distance from the village, the fur mountain products hunted by the hunters in the mountains, and the yams planted and collected by the drug farmers are actually good treasures, but due to inconvenient transportation, it is difficult to sell them, and then there will be traveling merchants who make profits from them. If there is this link Taihang’s business road, the villagers’ mountain products can be transported from here, sold to farther places, improving their lives...”

I have to say, this Lin Xiaofan still has some ideas.

If a commercial road in the mountains can really be built, it will indeed benefit one side and benefit the surrounding people.

But such an idea must have been thought of by the predecessors.

It's hard to implement.

First of all, the terrain in the mountain is complex, and the geographical environment and Fengshui pattern of Taihang Mountain should not be too damaged. Secondly, the project is huge, and the time and money required are astronomical. I am afraid that even the Lin family may not be able to afford it.

There is one more important question.

That is, there are many spirits and monsters in the mountains. If there is no one to check and balance, it is impossible to establish a business path.

Even if it is built, no one will dare to leave.

Lu Chen raised these questions one by one, but Lin Xiaofan smiled and said: "The immortal master has thought carefully, and Xiaofan is not a person who does not know the heights of heaven and earth, so this is just a long-term idea. I want to connect Qinghua Village from the temple first. Surrounding villages, try to build a road to directly connect Taiyuan Mansion, and see the effect. If it is feasible, then report it to the imperial court and promote it.”

"As for the strange things in the mountains, isn't this here to ask you? I came here this time to ask the immortal master to help me plan and see where it is better to build roads. After all, the layout of the mountains is complicated. If you want to avoid it, you have to give advice from the old man."

After hearing his thoughts, Lu Chen couldn't help being a little surprised.

It is indeed a good idea to build roads to get rich and benefit the villagers.

Although most of Lin Xiaofan's thinking of these things is out of selfishness, but he does have a bit of brains, and he is not as imaginary as a playboy.

This matter, if it can be done, can indeed benefit the people of one side.

Because of this, Taihang Mountain can also prosper a lot, trade routes are opened up, and there are more people coming and going. Maybe the temple in this mountain of mine can also flourish from this, which is helpful for my practice.

But now that he has mastered the Taihang talisman, as the god here, he cannot simply consider the problem from a human point of view.

If the trade route is established, it will definitely affect the creatures in the mountains. Are they willing to be disturbed?

Furthermore, with the connection of commercial routes, it will be easier for human beings to enter the mountains. Will it cause damage to the mountains?

After all, the destructive power of human beings, as a traverser, Lu Chen, is the clearest.

And the most important thing is that Lu Chen's current strength is not enough to truly rule the Taihang Mountain, and the area that can be sheltered and intimidated is at most limited to the shroud of the Golden Light God Realm. Under such circumstances, it is really unrealistic to consider road construction.

But he didn't directly refuse.

After all, this is just Lin Xiaofan's idea, if it is to be put into action, it still needs a lot of preparatory work, and it will not break ground for a while.

So I thought about it and said: "This idea can indeed benefit the people's livelihood, but it will also affect the life in the mountains. It's a big deal, and I can't give you a clear answer for the time being. But since I'm here, I can take you around the field After some exploration, if we can expand along the original mountain road to avoid disturbing the habitat of the creatures in the mountain, it would be a good idea."

When Lin Xiaofan heard this, his eyes lit up.

The immortal master did not refuse, which means that there is still room for feasibility in this matter. If this matter can really be done, not only will his own business be more prosperous in the future, but it will also be easier to enter the mountain in the future. With such a great merit, it can be washed away Make up for your mistakes.

Maybe, he could still gain the respect of the immortal master and find the way to practice.

Of course, he also knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed.

Digging up mountains and building roads is a big deal, not to mention things like asking the gods here, it takes a long time to prepare all kinds of reports in the human world, so you can't rush it for a while.

This time, I came mainly to seek Lu Chen's opinion. After all, he is an expert in cultivation in the mountains. With his guidance, a field survey will help in the future planning of business routes.
