Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 222 The Immortal caresses my head

During Qin Tian's retreat, apart from observing the battles of the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, catching fish was one of the rare recreational activities for the two little guys.

The Yangtze River is turbulent, but there are still many kinds of fish living under the water, especially in this era when the Yangtze River has not yet been affected by various types of pollution.

Many fish in later generations have been on the verge of extinction, and even extinct fish are extremely common in this era.

Fortunately, the two little guys caught fish just for fun, not for food.

In order to make up for the shock caused to those fish, the caught fish will also be given some compensation by the two little guys.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

It's just that the two little guys' catching of fish didn't go very smoothly tonight.

The surface of the river was floating, and the shouts of killing were so loud that the fish in the river were frightened and moved around, unable to calm down for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Muchun and Lingxia also gave up their pursuit of catching fish and surfaced to observe what happened.

……

Six hours ago.

Realizing that Cao Cao was stupid enough to connect all the ships together, Zhou Yu suddenly had a plan in mind.

So he and Huang Gai put on a big show in the army, creating the illusion that he and Huang Gai were at odds.

As the saying goes, when Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer.

Huang Gai was beaten to pieces, so he sent a letter to Cao Cao, lying that he was willing to surrender.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai selected ten Mengchong warships, loaded them with dry rice and dry firewood, and poured oil inside.

Then wrap the curtain around the outside, put up the flag, prepare the speedboat, and tie it to the stern.

Everything is ready, but one thing is missing.

"Commander, what should we do?" Huang Gai looked at the ships on the river worriedly. Everything was ready, and now there was only one thing left to set off.

But this kind of thing is the most important and critical thing, and it absolutely cannot be missing.

That's which way the wind is blowing!

Fire attack is indeed a good method, but since it is a false surrender, it must be resolved quickly.

If the ships slowly swam towards Cao Cao, I'm afraid Cao Cao would be able to react quickly and calmly unchain each ship.

At that time, the so-called fire attack will be completely useless.

Therefore, there must be an east wind. With the east wind, the speed of the ship will be increased to an extremely fast speed.

At that time, the ship will be set alight directly. The fire will take advantage of the wind and will definitely catch Cao Cao off guard, leaving him no room to react.

However, the wind above the Yangtze River has been blowing from the northwest for several days, and there has been no southeast wind.

If there is always a northwest wind, the effect of the fire attack will not only be greatly reduced, but it may even injure one's own people.

This time, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were always worried.

But there is no point in worrying. No one can change the direction of the Yangtze River.

"Captain, don't worry, Liang has a plan, you can ask for the east wind."

Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you have any idea? Are you serious about this?"

Zhuge Liang was very confident: "Of course I won't deceive the governor."

"The Commander-in-Chief should know that Liang once met an immortal and was taught by the immortal, and learned the art of Qimen Dunjia."

"Although I don't have great talent, I can call the wind and rain."

Zhuge Liang said slowly: "If the governor wants the southeast wind, he can build one on Nanping Mountain and call it the Seven Star Altar."

"This seven-star altar needs to be nine feet high, with three floors, and surrounded by one hundred and twenty people holding flags and streamers."

"With a little effort, you can borrow the strong southeast wind for three days and three nights!"

Zhou Yu was immediately overjoyed: "Don't say three days and three nights, just one night of east wind!"

Then Zhou Yu immediately asked people to prepare the altar and asked Zhuge Liang to pray for the east wind.

Although Zhou Yu met Zhuge Liang's request, he actually still had doubts about Zhuge Liang's actions.

Is there really anyone in this world who can ask for the east wind?

Zhuge Liang is really unpredictable.

In fact, Zhuge Liang would never ask for the east wind, he was just pretending to be a ghost!

He is planning to pull the tiger's skin to the end.

In fact, Zhuge Liang only knew the celestial phenomena, observed the weather, and knew that the wind direction would inevitably change in the near future.

Tomorrow at the latest, this southeasterly wind will definitely arrive.

The so-called methods and Qimen Dunjia are actually just a cover.

As for why we do this, it’s the same reason I mentioned before.

Liu Bei's power is really too weak. If he doesn't use these means to show off and make Sun Quan feel afraid, what if Sun Quan turns against Cao Cao after Cao Cao is defeated?

These actions were all to convince Sun Quan that Zhuge Liang had the help of experts and was even more unpredictable, so that he could dispel Sun Quan's ideas.

It is essential to be on guard against others.

If there was no other way, Zhuge Liang would never engage in these weird things.

When you are weak, you need to use all available forces and do whatever it takes. This is Zhuge Liang's life creed.

After Zhou Yu built the altar with extremely strict rules at Zhuge Liang's request, Zhuge Liang found an auspicious moment and went to the altar himself to perform the ritual.

It was said to be an auspicious time, but in fact it was just Zhuge Liang's fudge.

After all, the direction of the wind will change soon. If you don't take action early, I'm afraid the east wind will come soon.

That's when the secret will be revealed.

Zhuge Liang obviously hasn't started yet, so why is this east wind coming?

Before going to the altar, Zhuge Liang also told the surrounding soldiers: "You are not allowed to leave your position without authorization, you are not allowed to whisper to each other, you are not allowed to make nonsense words, and you are not allowed to make surprises. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"

After saying that, Zhuge Liang stepped back and stood on the altar alone, holding a three-foot long sword and waving it pretendingly.

Just when he was about to end the practice, he caught a glimpse of a cyan figure not far away from the corner of his eye.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

Didn't people already clear out everyone nearby? Why are there still people waiting here?

Zhuge Liang stepped down from the altar and took a few steps forward. The figure actually became familiar.

He was a little unsure and stepped forward again.

The figure heard the movement behind him and turned around.

"Kong Ming, I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you still learned Qimen Dunjia?"

Qin Tian laughed and said, "I never remembered that I taught you the Qimen Dunjia method."

Zhuge Liang looked a little embarrassed.

The real owner actually found out about pulling off the tiger's skin, which was a bit impolite.

"This..." Zhuge Liang looked embarrassed and was about to bow and apologize, but saw Qin Tian waving his hand, indicating that Zhuge Liang should not take it to heart.

"I'm curious, what will happen if the east wind doesn't come?"

"This……"

Zhuge Liang did not dare to hide it: "Liang has observed the weather and found that the east wind will definitely come within one day and one night at most. That's why he dared to let go of such bold words."

"If he wasn't sure, Liang wouldn't dare to deceive the world like this."

Qin Tian shook his head helplessly: "You, what should I say about you? Do you really deserve to be Mr. Wolong?"

After saying that, the two of them laughed together.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang noticed what Qin Tian was holding and couldn't help but feel curious. Qin Tian did not cover it up, but directly took out the two seeds in his hand.

"This thing is called corn, and this thing is called sweet potato. Both are food seeds that I found on overseas continents."

"Overseas mainland?" Zhuge Liang frowned.

Qin Tian became interested, waved his hand, and used magic power to condense the appearance of the earth.

"Look, this is the Yangtze River where we are now, and this entire land is our China."

Qin Tian tapped his fingers, and the earth slowly rotated, arriving at America, which was facing the foot of the Chinese land.

"And my food seeds are obtained from this continent."

In fact, scholars have put forward related concepts of the round earth theory as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang naturally also knows the relevant knowledge.

It’s just that whether the sky is round and the earth is round, or whether the sky is like a chicken’s egg, the celestial bodies are round like projectiles, and the earth is like a chicken’s egg with a yellow center, it has not yet been decided.

But now after seeing Qin Tian's story, Zhuge Liang is naturally sure. It seems that the correct conclusion is that the land is like a chicken with a yellow egg.

"But I never thought that the earth would look like this." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh when he saw the appearance of the earth.

"This world... is actually so big."

Looking at the continents on the earth, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but trance, muttering to himself.

What shocked him even more was the ocean that enveloped the earth.

I originally thought that there were more continents and fewer oceans in this world, but I didn't expect that the opposite was true.

"Since Brother Qin traveled so far, he still wanted to get this kind of seed. There must be something extraordinary about this kind of seed, right?"

Zhuge Liang asked curiously.

He thought that the seeds brought by Qin Tian would be some kind of fairy. Eating them could prolong life, and even fly up during the day and become an immortal instantly.

Zhuge Liang did not have greedy thoughts, but was just slightly curious.

Qin Tian glanced at Zhuge Liang and did not hide it.

"Did you know that the wheat that people eat daily today was nothing more than foxtail grass on the roadside thousands of years ago?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhuge Liang frowned: "What's the point of this?"

Qin Tian thought for a while and gave an example: "The children born from two beautiful people will definitely look the same. Is this right?"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "It is said that a tiger father has no dog sons, so naturally it is so."

"But there is no absolute rule. Sometimes people with average looks will be born."

Qin Tian nodded slightly: "That's it."

"This is true for people, it is true for animals, and it is even true for plants."

"When people plant crops, they choose seeds with full grains in order to make the crops produce more food."

"If all the seeds selected for each breeding are the seeds of the individuals with the highest yield, will the crop yields become higher and higher after thousands of years?"

"As the saying goes, green comes from blue and is better than blue. Select individuals who are green from blue and are better than blue every time. Even if there are changes in the middle, but persevere..."

A flash of understanding flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

If we keep doing this, I am afraid that even if it is the same crop thousands of years later, the wheat yield will be much higher than it is now.

Qin Tian took out the seeds in his hand: "Just like the two crops in my hand."

“When I first found them, not only did these two things taste bad, but the yield was not very high.”

"Following the steps just mentioned, I used magic to speed up their growth. It took me seventy-seven forty-nine days and tens of thousands of years to select."

Qin Tian said lightly: "After tens of thousands of years of screening, the shapes of these two crops have stabilized."

“Every generation I choose is all crops that are cold and drought tolerant, and the yields are not low.”

"Take this corn as an example. Even in mountainous areas with the harshest environment, unless there is a severe drought for many years, the yield per acre is at least one and a half stones."

"The same is true for sweet potatoes. The yield per mu ranges from two or three shi to as much as seven or eight shi."

"With careful care and good weather, it is not difficult to double the yield of these two grains."

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened and he stared at the two grain seeds in Qin Tian's hand.

He originally thought this was some kind of fairy fruit, but he didn't expect that this was actually food that could save all people from the fire and water!

No, this is the fairy fruit, the fairy food that can save all people!

Zhuge Liang suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He thought about the great gift that Qin Tian and he had mentioned before. Could it be that the so-called great gift was this kind of thing?

Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright.

Since Qin Tian didn't say that he would give this thing to himself, he must have something else to say.

He didn't think Qin Tian would take it back.

The reason is also very simple. If Qin Tian had no idea of giving this thing to himself, then why did he have to explain it to himself in detail? Is it just to show off?

Do not make jokes!

Now that Qin Tian took it out, Zhuge Liang believed that this kind of seed must be related to him!

"It seems you have guessed it."

Qin Tian looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled slightly.

Then he gently tapped Zhuge Liang's forehead with his finger, and a huge flow of information was transmitted.

"This is the way to cultivate these two kinds of food. You can digest it yourself."

The huge flow of information hit Zhuge Liang's mind, making him feel dizzy and unsteady for a moment.

A look of horror appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

He found that this knowledge of cultivation could be applied to more than just these two crops.

By analogy, this knowledge can also be applied to other crops.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no need for those two immortal grains at all. Only relying on these farming knowledge, Zhuge Liang is sure to increase the current grain production by at least 30%!

When Liu Bei stabilizes, this will be his ability to defeat Sun Quan and even Cao Cao!

The first thing Zhuge Liang did when he woke up was to bow down.

"Thank you Immortal for the reward!"

Naturally, Zhuge Liang could not take such a great kindness and kindness lightly, let alone accept it openly.

Qin Tian stretched out his hand and gently helped Zhuge Liang up.

"No need to be polite."

Zhuge Liang was so excited that he couldn't even say a word.

Qin Tian handed over two linen bags, each bag was only as big as a palm.

"Each bag contains food seeds needed for three hundred acres of land."

"If used properly, it can be promoted nationwide within five years. As for how to use it specifically..."

Qin Tian glanced at Zhuge Liang: "It all depends on you."

Zhuge Liang raised his head, his eyes blazing: "Didn't the Immortal say before that he would wait until the war is over..."

Qin Tian didn't pay attention to Zhuge Liang's change in title.

"I just haven't decided whether to hand over the seeds of this food to you."
