Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 300 Something Happened in the Mountains

Shen Yu and the others went to the desert farm?
Xu Yue was not optimistic.

Putting aside their laziness, they are certainly not people who can endure hardship.

The environment at the desert farm is really hard to compare with that of Peach Blossom Village.

Xu Yue didn't think they were comfortable staying there.

The key point is that even if they use machinery over there, it may not be as helpful for cultivation as manual labor in Peach Blossom Village.

“When they start planting over there, you can go and give it a try,” Xu said. “But you’ll have to learn how to do it first.”

Shen Yu and the others nodded with smiles.

Xu Yue didn't stay long.

With him there, Shen Yu and the others couldn't cultivate properly.

Besides, he has a lot on his plate these days.

Two days later, Guo Tianyou and his son returned from the desert farm.

"I only know a little bit about astrology and feng shui," Guo Tianyou said. "Old Liu should know more about them."

Where is Ye Chenguang?

Xu Yue suddenly asked a question.

“He’s a legendary figure in the feng shui circle, I don’t know him.” Guo Tianyou paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Yue and said, “Have you met him?”

“He should come to Taoyuan Village after the New Year to study the ancient tomb’s grand formation together,” Xu Yue said. “In addition, the old Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain and Master Yande from Buddhism should also come.”

Guo Tianyou was dumbfounded. Did that mean three experts at the fourth level had come to Peach Blossom Village?
Do you think I, a nobody, can understand these things?
I haven't even broken through to the third realm yet!
Lee Joo-ting is already ahead of me.

“That ancient tomb formation integrates Taoism, agriculture, Yin-Yang philosophy, as well as astrology and feng shui,” Xu Yue said. “That formation can increase vitality. The tomb owner also wanted to use it to be resurrected.”

"To come back to life? How is that possible!"

Guo Tianyou was immediately astonished upon hearing this.

But after saying that, I felt like I knew too much.

"When the grand formation was activated, he stood up from the coffin, said a few words, and then turned to ashes," Xu Yue said. "One of his words was: 'It's a pity, the dead cannot be brought back to life!'"

Guo Tianyou was completely stunned.

A person from over a thousand years ago left behind a sentence that has turned to ashes.

That's what you call not dying and coming back to life?
How can someone who hasn't died and come back to life speak?

Even if we fail in the end, at least there is hope!
"Liu Chengji had previously made a conjecture," Xu Yue said, looking at Guo Tianyou. "If that formation can still increase vitality when used on living people, could it extend their lifespan?"

boom!
After hearing this, Guo Tianyou immediately understood.

No wonder even the top Buddhists, Taoists, and Feng Shui masters came.

Who could refuse that!

With my small arms and legs, am I capable of getting involved in this?

"Since you know a bit about astrology and feng shui, why don't you get involved sometime?" Xu Yue said. "I'm not asking you to help, but rather to take this opportunity to learn."

"it is good!"

What else could Guo Tianyou say?
It would certainly be a good thing to be able to learn from an expert.

Countless people would love to have this kind of good thing, but haven't had the chance yet.

But Guo Tianyou still felt uneasy.

Is this something a nobody like me should get involved in?

"It's not that serious." Xu Yue seemed to sense Guo Tianyou's worry and said, "Whether it succeeds or not, with someone taking the lead, what's there to be afraid of?"

Who will take the lead?

Aside from those few powerful figures in the fourth realm, isn't Xu Yue, the boss, also at the forefront?
Thinking about it this way, Guo Tianyou felt much more at ease.

“Let’s go take a look at that big cauldron, and you can also take a look at those array patterns and array diagrams first,” Xu Yue said. “Liu Chengji is in the village now. If you have any questions, you can ask him. He’s gotten himself into trouble this time.”

Liu Chengji's remarks about "extending lifespan" not only caught the attention of the higher authorities, but he himself certainly couldn't refuse them.

He must be among those who study this formation.

It's estimated that the Special Administration Bureau has issued a gag order for this matter.

After all, if this gets out, it could drive countless people crazy.

Guo Tianyou didn't say anything, but followed Xu Yue to the laboratory.

That large cauldron is in the laboratory.

The cauldron also has astrological and feng shui patterns on it.

However, the core of that large cauldron was actually a farming tool.

Dragon and Tiger Vitality Cauldron!
However, this farm implement incorporates other elements.

This is also why Xu Yue was able to move it.

"This cauldron is way too big!"

Guo Tianyou was quite surprised to see the large cauldron.

“Not only is it big, but it’s also heavy!” Xu Yue said. “It can’t even budge a helicopter weighing more than 30 tons.”

"So heavy?" Guo Tianyou asked instinctively. "How did they get it into the ancient tomb? The wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing!"

He does not mean that.

Xu Yue was stunned.

Guo Tianyou didn't ask how they got it from the mountains.

He was unaware that Xu Yue had taken the blame.

With current technology, transporting something weighing tens or hundreds of tons down from the mountains doesn't seem so unimaginable.

After all, if one helicopter can't pull it, then use more.

The power of technology is beyond imagination.

But there were no helicopters or cranes in ancient times.

Who carried it up there?
Internal energy and magical power are useless!

What about regular true qi?

There should still be cultivators practicing Qi during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

It's not necessarily true that you need Hunyuan Qi to be effective.

But Xu Yue suddenly remembered that person's question, "Has the farming tradition returned to the Xu family?"
Forget it, no more!

Xu Yue had no intention of getting to the bottom of things.

He's not that kind of person.

Why do we need to find out who put it up there, how they put it up there, and why?

Who knows, they might have refined it in a tomb.

Huh?
It may not be impossible!

However, forging this large cauldron must have been no easy task.

There are also methods for crafting magical artifacts in the traditional farming tradition, but Xu Yue still doesn't quite understand them, and hasn't even bothered to figure them out.

Even if you figure it out completely, it's useless.

Without reaching the fourth realm, you can forget about refining weapons.

Xu Yue was unsure why this restriction existed.

Other sects seem to have this restriction as well, but Xu Yue is not sure.

Guo Tianyou glanced at the large cauldron, then took the array patterns and diagrams drawn by Xu Yue and left.

Xu Yue didn't expect him to come up with anything.

If you ask him, he won't know either.

So Guo Tianyou didn't ask him, but instead asked Liu Chengji.

Just two days later, Liu Chengji approached Xu Yue.

"Does your farm need more workers?"

Upon seeing Xu Yue, Liu Chengji immediately asked a question.

Xu Yue was stunned when he heard this.

"We're short of them!" Xu Yue quickly recovered and said, "Master Liu, are you interested?"

Interested?

What interest could I possibly have?!
I have no other choice.

These past two days, Guo Tianyou has been asking him about astrology and feng shui. Puzzled, he asked him and found out that Xu Yue had actually asked Guo Tianyou to participate in the research of that grand formation.

What does this mean?
This shows that no matter what, Xu Yue has the ability to protect Guo Tianyou.

Liu Chengji regretted saying those words, but it was too late for regrets!
He got himself into trouble.

The kind where life or death is uncertain.

This thing is too big.

Of course, this is also a bit of scaring yourself.

The reason he had this feeling was entirely because his cultivation level was only at the third realm.

I'm not qualified to participate in this kind of thing.

Besides, he has no one backing him.

Zhang Zhixuan, for example, is a fourth-level cultivator, and he has the support of Longhu Mountain and even the entire Taoist sect.

Then nothing will happen.

Just like Guo Tianyou, although he hasn't reached the third realm yet, he has Xu Yue behind him!

Although Xu Yue was only at the third realm, he had killed a fourth realm expert.

The key point is that he is of great use to the country and its people.

Xu Yue's influence extends to the highest levels of government. Not because of his cultivation level, but because of his abilities.

You can't simply regard Xu Yue as a江湖人 (jianghu person, someone from the martial arts world).

In the eyes of the state, no江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world) can compare to Xu Yue.

Even if all those experts at the fourth realm were combined, they probably wouldn't be as good as Xu Yue.

This is a difficult question, but it's worth a try.

This is also why Xu Yue dared to bring Guo Tianyou in.

"Of course I'm interested," Liu Chengji said. "From now on, you'll be my boss. I don't have to pay you a salary, but you'll have to take care of your food and lodging."

"it is good!"

Xu Yue smiled and nodded.

What about food and lodging?
Food and lodging will naturally be provided by the farm.

Xu Yue was naturally generous with this.

Aren't Guo Tianyou and Li Zhuting's families the same?

With Liu Chengji gone, it seemed as if the weight on my heart had been lifted.

Xu Yue smiled.

I didn't expect such a harvest.

He had wanted to recruit Liu Chengji, but unfortunately he recommended Li Zhuting instead.

This clearly implies a polite refusal.

They didn't want to enter Peach Blossom Village, but they also wanted to befriend it.

"what happened to him?"

Zhang Ruoxi was a little confused. She had refused before, but now she seemed to be in a hurry.

"He's overthinking it," Xu Yue said. "He also feels unworthy of his position."

“His concerns may not be unfounded,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “Throughout history, how many people involved in such matters have had a good ending?”

“That’s an exaggeration,” Xu Yue shook his head and said. “Besides, as long as it has value, it won’t be eliminated.”

Zhang Ruoxi didn't say anything more.

Xu Yue need not worry, because he is useful to both the country and the people.

Comparable to a person who has been sculpted into a golden statue.

If you are useful to the country, then the country will naturally protect you.

But Liu Chengji is different.

He was just a wandering feng shui master.

It may have a lot of influence in the feng shui circle, but at the national level, it might not be enough.

“There’s no need to think so much,” Xu Yue said. “Liu Chengji’s entry into Taoyuan Village is a good thing for us.”

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

That's definitely a good thing.

Because many formations in farming households can be arranged using feng shui principles.

Guo Tianyou, who was only at the second realm, was able to do it, let alone Liu Chengji, a master at the third realm.

His arrival not only increased their strength but also lightened their burden.

"Should we build him a villa?"

Zhang Ruoxi suddenly asked a question.

Guo Tianyou's house was repaired, Li Zhuting's house was repaired, so Liu Chengji naturally had to repair his as well.

"Why don't we just build more over there?" Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. "Even if we don't need them in the future, it shouldn't be difficult to rent or sell them."

Is Taoyuan Village developing a villa area?

Is anyone buying?
Is anyone renting it?
Don't tell me, it's really possible.

Just like the courtyard of the guesthouse, it's rarely empty.

The occupancy rate of homestays is also getting higher and higher.

“Then we’ll build more,” Xu Yue nodded and said. “Actually, Qinghe Village is more suitable.”

There is a tourist area near Qinghe Village.

“Not necessarily!” Zhang Ruoxi said. “They can build hotels over there.”

"Forget it!" Xu Yue said. "Let the professionals handle the professional matters."

When the tourist area was mentioned, the person in charge, Shuai Ming, quickly approached Xu Yue.

"I heard that another ancient tomb has been discovered in the mountains, possibly belonging to Qin Mi, the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Shu Han dynasty?"

The man named Shuai immediately stated his purpose.

Ancient tombs can be a great tourist attraction.

“It’s not Qin Mi’s,” Xu Yue said, shaking his head. “However, it does have a connection to Qin Mi. What, you have something on your mind?”

Shuai Ming nodded.

"That ancient tomb will not be open to the public for the time being," Xu Yue said. "We'll have to wait a while."

"It would be great if it could be opened up in the future."

Shuai Ming nodded, and then chatted with Xu Yue about some things related to the scenic area.

The infrastructure is mostly complete.

However, it's clear that they won't be able to open for business during the Spring Festival.

As they were chatting, their phones rang one after the other.

Xu Yue's call was made by Yu Suihai.

The one with the name "Shuai" was taken by staff of the tourist area.

They are talking about the same thing.

Something happened in the mountains.

To be precise, something happened at the Taoist temple in the mountains.

Xu Yuexian, the commander, arrived at the Taoist temple in one step.

"This is really true."

When Xu Yue saw the scene at the Taoist temple, he was speechless.

There are many birds.

There are also many snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

There are also many animals that are not afraid of humans.

The key issue is that a large python is now coiled up on the eaves.

"Did the spirit-gathering array attract it?" Xu Yue asked. "When did it start?"

"There were some signs after the spirit array was set up, but the spiritual energy wasn't very dense then, so it didn't attract many," Yu Suihai said. "Later, more and more appeared, but we didn't pay much attention; maybe it was just a gimmick. But now..."

A gimmick?

The Taoist temple attracted birds and beasts, and the story naturally became fantastical.

This would be extremely beneficial for both the Taoist temple and the tourist area.

This was just beyond my expectations.

That's a bit too much.

Not only did the giant python arrive, but many venomous snakes also came.

In addition, there are some other ferocious beasts.

“A bear and a pack of wolves came last night,” Yu Suihai said. “That could cause security problems. Can this be resolved?”

Why did Yu Suihai firmly believe that Xu Yue could solve the problem?
The spiritual energy of Taoyuan Village is much stronger than that of this Taoist temple, and I haven't seen any mountain animals entering the village.

Snakes, insects, rats, and ants are rarely seen.

Yu Suihai clearly wouldn't believe that Xu Yue wasn't involved.

"No problem," Xu Yue said with a smile. "I can set up an insect-repelling array. Master Yu, just tell me which types of insects your temple doesn't welcome."

Which ones are not welcome?
Is this another option?

So good!

"Snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

Yu Suihai could rattle off a list without hesitation, mentioning not only snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but also some dangerous animals, such as wolves.

"Those birds," Yu Suihai asked hesitantly, "what do you think?"

"You want to stay, but you're afraid that too many people will cause trouble for the entire Taoist temple, right?"

Xu Yue immediately saw through Yu Suihai's thoughts.

I want to create a buzz, but I'm also afraid it will become overused.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer number of birds means their droppings can cause headaches for the Taoist temple.

Yu Suihai nodded.

A larger number of birds would benefit both the Taoist temple and the scenic area.

"Not only can we leave them behind, we can even lure them here."

Xu Yue continued.

"And it attracted more?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Suihai immediately shook his head.

This is already a headache enough.
