33 Chapter 33 I Steal Wine to Drink With You(1/2)
From that day on, Lin Nanyin noticed that the Taoist Palace was beginning to pave the way for the beast pill.
First of all, the number of Qi and Blood Pills in the Affairs Hall is quietly increasing, and then more Dao Palace disciples go out for hunting. Each time they come back, they will bring a large number of prey, and ordinary people can rely on helping Dao Palace to repair it.
farm land in exchange for those game animals.
With sufficient food and nourishment from meat, the originally disheveled people gradually began to look better. They spent more than two months repairing the bumpy ground at the foot of Daogong Mountain, and the autumn harvest was ushered in in the blink of an eye.
It is an established fact that this year's autumn harvest grain production will be greatly reduced. Only the farm in charge of Dao Scarqing gave everyone a surprise.
The farmland over there has had an explosive harvest this year, and the total output per mu is basically 30% higher than the aperture. This is due to the concentration of spiritual energy. It is probably because the land here has not been used for many years that it has such an effect. It will probably not happen again next year.
There is such a high output.
When Dao Scarqing divided the land, more than half of it was allocated to the twelve hall masters and the chief hall master. Now that many hall masters have died, Dao Scarqing naturally acquiesced that the farmland would be returned to his hands and he wanted to re-grow it.
Let’s wait until next year.
He and Lin Nanyin had already discussed this year's grain. Except for their own consumption, the rest would be loaned out at very low prices.
After so many years, Lin Nanyin looked at her unchanged face in the mirror, and she basically believed that she would truly live forever. Her lifespan would be endless, so her fate would inevitably be bound to that of the entire human race.
The human race is like a lake. Now this lake has become a small puddle. If it is not changed, it will evaporate sooner or later by the scorching sun. If the human race becomes a sea, and she hides in thousands of water drops, then she will be allowed to roam in the sky and on the earth.
Now, Daogong and Yan Xi have provided the human race with a relatively stable environment. All she can do is add fuel to the fire and try to let everyone live as long as possible.
Fortunately, in addition to her efforts, the Taoist palace did not let it go. Not to mention that this year's autumn harvest property taxes were exempted, and all foreign affairs hall leaders were assigned the task of going out to open up wasteland for three months, stating that during these three months, they would only need to participate
Anyone who opens up wasteland can get two meals a day according to their work.
As soon as this news came out, the gloomy clouds hanging over the mortal area immediately dissipated, and everyone was filled with joy.
Lin Nanyin was also very happy when she heard the news, because after half a year, she finally successfully broke through to the fourth level of Qi training and entered the middle stage of Qi training, and Dao Scarqing finally mastered the disguise technique and poison sutra that she had been looking for.
Got it.
Speaking of which, the main reason is that this year everyone is short of food and clothing, and many people simply take out the old money used to store boxes at home in exchange for food.
Let’s not talk about the art of disguise, but the origin of the Poison Sutra is a bit sad.
This poison sutra is the inheritance of the old man who entered Taolin with Dao Scarqing. He did not avoid the disaster last year. After his death, his children and grandchildren did not inherit his medical skills. They thought these were just a pile of waste paper and brought them with them.
The Poison Sutra and the medical books written by the old man were all packaged and sold to Dao Scarqing.
This is the inheritance of a generation of medical skills, and Lin Nanyin does not monopolize it. The poisonous scriptures are more dangerous and she keeps them alone. The set of medical books is placed on the bookshelf next to everyone's dining table. Anyone who is interested can look through it, but the prerequisite is that they are not allowed to use it.
The book is stained and torn.
Because of this incident, Xue Yong realized that it was time to enlighten his three children, otherwise he would not be able to read a single Chinese character in the future, and even if he had spiritual roots, he would not be able to learn the exercises.
Among the five adults in their courtyard, Lin Nanyin doesn't have much time, Xue Yong doesn't know much about literacy, Dao Scarqing and Zhou Yuanniang are a little better, but not much better. After a round, it turns out that Xue's wife is usually the gentlest and quietest because of her family education.
Yuanyuan was the most literate, so everyone finally unanimously recommended her to be the wife.
"By the way, what's your last name, Mrs. Xue?" Lin Nanyin still doesn't know her full name yet.
"My surname is also Lin, and Lin Qingwan is my name."
"Then we should call her Mrs. Lin from now on." Zhou Yuanniang joked.
Lin Qingwan immediately blushed, "I don't dare to take it seriously. I just teach a few children at home. How can I bear the title of master?"
Originally, this was just an unintentional joke by Zhou Yuanniang, but she didn't expect that since the news spread when the family's three children were studying for enlightenment, people would come to her door every now and then and ask if they could bring their children to study and learn Braille together.
No matter how the times change, the understanding that "people need to read and write" seems to have always been engraved in people's bones and blood. As soon as the Three Character Sutra is sounded, something in the chest seems to be reviving.
Although immortal cultivators look at mortals like ants, ants always have their own meals and seasons.
I open up wasteland during the day and learn to read at night. Time flies and it’s New Year’s Eve.
After inspecting the bones as usual on New Year's Eve, the Taoist Palace immediately issued a notice: After the Lantern Festival, the Taoist Palace will select ten young men to be admitted to the Taoist Palace as outer disciples.
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the area turned their attention.
Others who don't know the truth only think that this is an excellent opportunity. If they can enter the Taoist palace and become an outer disciple, not to mention chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, at least they will have no worries about food and drink in the future.
However, Lin Nanyin, who knew the reason, knew that this should be the process of the beast elixir reaching the stage of "little white mouse".
These ten so-called 'outer disciples' should be the people the Taoist Palace is looking for to test the medicine.
"Doctor Lin, what do you think about this matter?" Dao Scarqing and Xue Yong were also very interested in having such an opportunity, but Scarqing thought more. He felt that Dao Palace would not suddenly recruit ordinary people for no reason.
Disciple, think back to the fact that Dr. Lin started to let them exercise a few months ago, and he always feels that there may be some subtle connection.
"This is indeed an opportunity for ordinary people." Lin Nanyin did not deny the benefits of this matter.
Dao Scarqing paid attention to her expression and saw that she was not too surprised. He suddenly knew that Dr. Lin had known about this a few months ago.
Dr. Lin is really kind and will never forget them when good things happen.
"Then let's all give it a try?" In the past six months, they have made some progress in their physical training. They are much more energetic than ordinary people, and their complexions are also much better.
"I won't go yet." Lin Nanyin said. Even if she was really an ordinary person, she would not be a guinea pig. The initial stage of anything is the most unstable stage. Just because something has not been discovered for the time being does not mean that it will never happen.
It won’t happen, so there’s no need to take the risk. “As for you, I won’t stop you if you want to go. I can only tell you that there is no such thing as a pie falling out of thin air in this world. If you want to eat the pie, you must always be prepared to bear it.
Prepare for risks, and this risk is any possibility, including death.”
As soon as the word 'death' came out, the excitement on Dao Scarqing's and others' faces suddenly stopped.
In fact, if you calm down and think about it, disciples with spiritual roots can cultivate, and the Dao Palace can expand the strength of the sect by absorbing them. Those who don't know how to practice are not qualified to work as odd jobs, so why should they become the outer disciples of the Dao Palace?
There must be something behind this, and the risk is extremely high, otherwise Dr. Lin would not have hinted like this.
"It would be great if Fei Bai was here. Maybe we could ask Fei Bai for his opinion on this matter." Zhou Yuanniang couldn't help but muttered.
"Yes." He said so in agreement, but Dao Scarqing actually felt that Doctor Lin's words were reasonable. There is no free pie in this world. Even if Zhou Feibai himself came, he would still think so.
However, no matter how Zhou Yuanniang muttered, Zhou Feibai never appeared.
The fifteen days passed quickly, and Dao Scarqing and the others also considered it for half a month. Finally, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, Dao Scarqing and the others all stayed at home without going out. In the blink of an eye, in the evening, news came that the immortals on the mountain had already arrived.
Ten people were selected and went up the mountain.
When the news was finalized, the four people in the room all let out a sigh of relief no matter what their mentality was.
No matter what, the dust has settled, and the next step is to watch and observe the changes.
"By the way, why hasn't Dr. Lin come back today?" It was already dark outside now, and she should have been back by this time.
"I don't know, maybe I was tripped up by something."
In fact, Lin Nanyin was indeed tripped up by someone.
Since Yun Xian exchanged names with her, he has come to her more and more frequently. In the past two months, he has come at noon and evening. He doesn't do anything. He just sits under the medicinal forest and sighs quietly from time to time. He listens to the forest.
Nanyin had to endure it several times before he could not drive her away.
"I'm done here and ready to go down the mountain." Lin Nanyin finished her work and said. In the past, in order to save time, she would soak in the cold water in the medicinal forest before going down the mountain. During this time, Yun was idle, so she basically went home.
Soaking water.
"Go." Yun Xian still said in that faint tone, "Let me take one last look at you."
Lin Nanyin: "..."
"If you're not confused, just talk properly. What do you mean by taking one last look? Are you not coming tomorrow?"
"Well, I won't come tomorrow, and I won't come the day after tomorrow, and maybe I won't be able to come in the future." Before Lin Nanyin could ask again, Yun Xian took the initiative and said, "I'm going to test the medicine tonight, and I won't come either."
I know if I can make it out alive."
"Are you going to test the medicine?" Lin Nanyin was surprised, "Didn't ten people have already been selected?"
"Well, I am with them. I asked for it myself." Yun Xian smiled at her, "Nanyin, I am so afraid that I will die."
"Afraid you are still going?" Lin Nanyin frowned.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't go?"
"I'm afraid I don't have to go."
"That's not possible." Yun Xian shook her head, looking past Lin Nanyin to the farther north, "No one is more eager to leave this small land than me. I know it will be safer if I wait a little longer.
, but I have been waiting for nearly ten years and I don’t want to wait anymore.
If I have bad luck, can you do me a favor? If you have the opportunity to go to Suiyun Mountain in the future, can you help me collect and bury all the bones I see there. Too many people died there.
I didn’t know those two bodies belonged to my parents.”
Lin Nanyin was silent for a moment and said: "You must have told me more than one such request."
"Oh," the emotion in Yun Xian's eyes disappeared in an instant, "cast the net widely to catch more fish, what if there is one?"
"It's better to leave this kind of thing that you can do personally to yourself." Lin Nanyin refused, "And don't be afraid, isn't your senior brother here? He is so powerful that he can make something happen to you? You can do nothing to yourself.
Confidence, but you can’t have no confidence in him. Who is he? He is the future True Lord of the Golden Core. The True Lord of the Golden Core will protect you and ensure that you go in lying down and come out with three heads and six arms, okay?"
"...Wouldn't it look too ugly with three heads and six arms?" Yun Xian felt a little disgusted.
Lin Nanyin said earnestly: "People can only hit one at a time, but you can hit six."
"That doesn't seem to be unacceptable." Yun Xian seemed to be inspired. She stood up boldly and said, "It's almost time. I'm leaving. You can wait for three days to see me with admiration."
Lin Nanyin waved his hand, "My neighbor asked a famous winemaker to help him brew a tank of excellent wine last year. I will steal it and drink it with you next time we meet again."
