Chapter 149 [Mountain Gate]

A Niu didn't say a word. In his opinion, wherever the master said to plant trees, he would deliver the saplings there.

Fang Chang turned around, looked at the surrounding terrain, then selected a few places, and marked them with a bronze shovel. He selected several saplings of similar size and head from the two baskets on A Niu's back, dug a two-foot-deep hole at the marked place, planted the saplings, filled the soil and stepped on it lightly.

Then I took a few cans of running water from the pond and watered them at the roots of the saplings.

The terrain here is low and concave, facing the cliff again, and the mountain wind is slow but not strong.

Due to the proper angle, the light here is quite good, and besides the unnamed pond, there is no shortage of water. In the following days, the healthy growth of these small trees should not be a problem.

After cleaning himself, A Niu, and the bronze shovel, Fang Chang stood by the pool and looked at the few saplings planted in front.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed out.

In Ah Niu's perception, as the master pointed out, the surrounding environment surged instantly, and then a thin mist rose.

He immediately felt that the surroundings were different, but he couldn't tell what was different. For the cow demon, the biggest feeling was the mystery of the master's finger. A Niu pondered it, and was a little immersed in it.

"Let's go, finish the job." Fang Chang said with a smile.

"Master, this is..." Liu Aniu, who recovered from the state of immersion, asked with some doubts after hearing Master's words.

"A formation."

A Niu nodded: "Sure enough."

Fang Chang asked himself this named disciple: "What did you see?"

After thinking for a while, A Niu said: "This disciple is dull-tongued and can't explain it, but he can feel the mystery and even gain a lot. Master, what is this formation for?"

Fang Chang nodded in praise and said:

"It can be seen that you are really talented, and you are a person with wisdom. This formation is actually a trick to cover your eyes. I am going to use it to block ordinary people who come here by accident, leaving only those who are destined to come in. "

The sapling planting location he just selected has a doorway inside, fits the terrain of the mountains, and there are fragments around it. These saplings form a simple formation.

It operates on its own and is endless, but its purpose is to prevent ordinary people, except for those who are predestined, from where they enter and where they go, unless they turn their heads and return backwards.

"But Master, why are you setting up an formation here?"

Liu A Niu was puzzled, after all, he still had to go around from behind when going up and down the cliff, just like when he and his master went down the cliff just now.

As for the one who has the ability to go directly up and down from the edge of the cliff, there is only the master at present, and he can't see the necessity of designing this formation. Could it be that he is considering developing the land under the cliff? This is also unreasonable, because there is still a lot of open space on the cliff, as well as a vast woodland.

On the way back, Fang Chang told him:

"I'm going to build a plank road here, leading directly to the cliff from here, and use the stone ring above as a door."

A Niu nodded: "I understand."

Fang Chang continued: "In the next period of time, I will have nothing to do for the time being, so I will repair the plank road with bamboo and wood first. When there is enough time in the future, it would be better to directly carve out steps on the cliff."

"Then master, let me watch the door for Xianqiya."

"Ha, no need. You are just making a name. On weekdays, you can act as usual. After all, although I can guide you and help you in the future, your Tao still has the transformation form. It’s better for you to find opportunities by yourself, no one can help you, and there’s no need to waste time on such mundane tasks as gatekeepers.”

…………

...

For the next period of time, Fang Chang carried a hammer and chisel to dig holes in the cliff every day.

The sound of Dangdang resounded around and echoed in the mountains, so that no bird on the edge of the cliff dared to approach, except for the silly eagle couple on the tree by the edge of the cliff.

In the rest of the time, Fang Chang cut down many trees, trimmed the trunks, and drove them into the caves hewn on the cliff. Then, this frame is covered with bamboo and wood, which is a good plank road.

However, if Ah Niu walks on four legs, he will encounter difficulty turning when walking on this plank road.

Fang Chang has great strength, and the speed of digging the hole is very fast. After three times, five times and two divisions, a column-shaped pothole with a slight upward slope is formed. After the wooden beam is inserted, it is very strong.

The only problem is that the speed of tool consumption is greatly increased.

As a last resort, he collected a large amount of copper-tin ore, burned charcoal, opened the kiln twice, and cast a batch of tools as consumables.

In just over a month, Fang Chang completed one-third of this plank road.

The speed can top a group of craftsmen.

Moreover, Fang Chang is very safe to do this. After all, he will be fine if he jumps off the cliff, so he just needs to find a good foothold on the cliff, and smash it with a hammer and chisel.

On this day, seeing the proper solar terms, Fang Chang did not go to work on the cliff after breakfast, but took out the lotus seeds and prepared to sow them in the pond.

This pond has a very vulgar name, "Jade Pond", which is named after a piece of jasper emerged from it on the day it was dug.

Later, that piece of jasper was made into three jade pendants by Fang Chang, two of which were given away to others, and the other is still hanging on his waist.

This tributary of Huanhuaxi flows quietly, replenishing water into the Biyutang. The excess water in the pond overflows and follows the trough to the edge of the cliff, forming a waterfall on Xianqi Cliff.

Finding the pocket from the bedroom, Fang Chang opened it and looked, and inside was round black lotus seeds.

Reaching out one by one, gently pinch off the hard shell at the tip of the lotus seeds, exposing the tip, found a jar, put them all in, and soaked them in water.

After the lotus seeds germinate in two days, they can be directly planted in the pond.

Maybe at the end of summer, you can see lotus in the pond.

Standing at the stone table, looking around.

In late spring, the flowers are in full bloom, and the fairy cliffs are full of fragrance, and there are butterflies flying around.

Fang Chang stretched out his hand and stood there like a wooden stake.

Soon, a beautiful butterfly landed on Fang Long's fingertips, opened and closed its wings a few times, and then there was no movement, as if it was going to rest here.

He smiled, and gently withdrew his fingers.

The butterfly fell down in a daze, and only when it was about to fall to the ground, it flapped its wings and flew away.

In the field next to it, the crops have sprouted and are full of vitality. The crops inside are mainly sorghum and beans, no wheat. This is also the current mainstream planting mode in the world—at least in most parts of the north.

Although there was no wheat, Fang Chang still took the time to make a millstone.

But so far, he still has no flour in his hand, so he can only use the dried sweet potato to grind it into flour to add a few tricks to the table.

As Fang Chang lived and practiced on the cliff, the aura here became stronger and stronger.

The direct effect of the rising aura is that the clouds and mists around Xianqi Cliff are heavier, and the villages and towns that could see the mountains behind are no longer seen.

However, no one noticed this.

Thank you Doumi Wan for your reward.
