It was in the afternoon when Xiao Ran returned to Jianjian Peak.
Shizun went to the imperial capital to buy wine and hasn't come back yet. Looking at his temperament, Xiao Ran would not be surprised if he went to Goulan to listen to a song, go to the casino to roll dice, or go to the palace to pick up a girl.
The peak of Qijian Peak is full of autumn light, but it is not hot.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the Zongzhi Mountains, it is like a timeless and elegant ink painting, and the scenery is excellent.
Looking at Zhijian Peak under his feet, it looks like childish graffiti, which is really ugly.
Xiao Ran thought to himself, Shizun is ugly and refuses this all day long, but the place where he meditates and sleeps is the ugliest. Is it because he drinks too much fake wine and hurts his eyes
He made up his mind to completely transform Zhijian Peak, make it even more beautiful than Baicao Peak, and make it the most livable and famous mountain in the Zongzhi Mountains.
Great harvest today.
Xiao Ran made wine first.
Take out two stone jars.
A stone jar is used to hold mashed black yeast mushrooms to extract natural yeast.
Another stone jar, used to hold malt mold, hops, and mashed starch.
After half an hour.
In the first tank, yeast extraction is completed.
In the second jar, wrap it with gauze and squeeze out the wort from it.
The two tanks are mixed, filtered with diatomaceous earth, semi-sealed with bamboo chips, and then buried in the warm underground of the Lingmai Path to start fermentation.
At the beginning of the fermentation, it directly enters the high foaming period, when the wort is particularly strong, you can hear the rustling sound and smell the wine aroma at the same time.
If the aura is abundant, the geothermal heat is stable, and if you are lucky, you will be able to drink malt sake before midnight.
After brewing, just wait for the malt to ferment.
Next, Xiao Ran prepared to open up a few wastelands.
The area of the top of Zhijian Peak is about the size of four or five football fields.
The middle disciple's room and the broken sword are slightly higher, and the rest are flat ground.
After a field trip at the summit, Xiao Ran made a perfect plan.
South.
The south is the direction of the disciple's door.
The south side has the flattest terrain and the largest space, accounting for about one-third of the peak.
Flower sea medicine fields and wheat valleys are all arranged.
As soon as the gate opened, it was empty and rich, and the stretches of valleys formed a line with the sea of clouds.
Therefore, the positioning of the south is: planting area!
East.
On the edge of the east cliff, there are rocks and lone pine, which is the place where Master often drinks.
There is also a node of underground cold water in the east. You can dig a deep pool, divert water through the road, form a stream, and flow into the strange rock to form a small waterfall.
The landscape of the strange rock and the lonely pines suddenly became artistic.
In addition, the waterhole can be used to raise fish, as well as to fish.
A pavilion and a chess table can be built around, which is comfortable enough.
The vegetation is covered with pine, maple and cherry blossoms, and it is quiet enough.
Therefore, the positioning of the east is: leisure area!
west.
The West Cliff is the place where the living water is excreted. The waste can be used to build vegetable gardens and fruit forests in the west, or raise some spiritual animals.
Therefore, the positioning of the west is: fruit and vegetable area!
north.
The terrain in the north is slightly higher, and large bamboos are planted, which can create the feeling of a mountain behind.
Among the bamboo forests, you can plant some shade-loving flowers and plants, attracting some small animals such as rabbits and squirrels, and you can occasionally have a meat meal.
The terrain of the North Cliff is steep, facing the Baicao Peak where Yinyue Zhenren lives.
It happens to be a place where warm water meets, and you can dig a hot spring pool.
The sky is light and the sea of clouds, the water and mist are curling, after hard work, come here to soak in a hot spring at night, relax, tsk tsk...
Therefore, the positioning of the north is: health care area!
Planning is complete.
Xiao Ran checked the storage space.
Tools, seeds, trees, seedlings, fertilizers, all complete.
It's a pity that he is still a mortal. The amount of work is too large to be done in one day, and it will take at least a week to complete.
The time has come to evening.
The sunset has dyed the western half of the day red.
Come to the west.
Because he had to eat and drink every day, Xiao Ran picked the most important dishes to start.
Daily vegetable planting and yeast mushroom cultivation must be arranged as soon as possible.
Take out the hoe.
Dressed in the setting sun, Xiao Ran began to reclaim the wasteland one by one.
After a while, a soft and cold female voice came from behind.
"Little Xingfeng Jiang Chuyan, please see Elder Lingzhou."
Jiang Chuyan
Xiao Ran was slightly startled.
Is it the girl who was rejected by the master because of her high talent
good guy!
The disciple challenge will only start tomorrow, so are you going to find fault today
If Chen Gongxing came across it by chance, and Jiang Chuyan took the initiative to attack, what kind of surprise will Ye Fan bring to him
Xiao Ran just felt that his head was big, and continued to plough the land without turning his head back:
"Master has something to do, so please come back."
Unexpectedly, the soft and waxy female voice behind her suddenly cheered up.
"That's right—I'm here for you!"
Can't hide.
Xiao Ran turned around and shoveled his hoe. In the setting sun, he couldn't see his face clearly, and only vaguely saw a petite figure.
He is about 1.5 meters tall, with a pair of thin legs poking in the air, but he is straight and slender.
is a child
Xiao Ran suddenly had the mentality of an elder.
"Looking for me? Call Shishu first."
The girl's voice was soft, with a hint of hoarseness, but her tone was cold.
"You killed my little red, and you still want me to call you uncle?"
Xiao Ran was stunned.
"Xiaohong means the red-spotted tiger?"
The soft and cold voice trembled slightly.
"Sure enough, you killed it!"
good guy!
It's a coincidence today, isn't it
If it wasn't for the anger in the girl's tone, and her not-so-smart body and voice, Xiao Ran would have suspected that the other party was using tigers as bait and deliberately lured him into the bait.
"It kills me, don't kill it and keep it as an offering to my ancestors?"
Xiao Ran said bluntly.
"you-"
The girl was speechless. The matter has come to this point, the red-spotted tiger is gone, but she must seize this opportunity and swear to stay at Zhijian Peak, so she has a small face and pretends to be unreasonable:
"You have your reasons, and I have my stand. You killed my little red, and of course I can't let you go."
Facing the bloody sunset, Xiao Ran smiled.
"How do you want to not let me go?"
In an instant, the spiritual pressure of the Golden Core Realm slowly enveloped Zhijian Peak, the girl's face sank, and she pretended to be cold:
"I think you are an elder for the time being, and I allow you to do it first - pull out your dirty and filthy long sword, this is the last time you have it in your life!"
ha
If good words come out of your mouth, why don't they taste right
Xiao Ran's original plan was to limit their cultivation to only swordsmanship in the challenge of the disciples, and to compete fairly to see the level of talent.
As a result, Jiang Chuyan took the initiative to come to the door on the grounds that the red-spotted tiger was killed, and the master was not there, so she could kill it first and then play it.
Even if he didn't dare to hurt him, he would easily defeat him with his Jindan cultivation base, humiliate him in a fancy way, and then spread it out, so that he would no longer have a shameless foothold in Zongzhi Mountain.
To be killed!
Xiao Ran kept his head down, holding a hoe like a sword, and started the journey of fooling around.
"Girl, do you want to be the sword bearer?"
Although the girl is pregnant, she is very thoughtful and does not eat this set at all.
If I can't beat it, I'm fooling around, when I'm a fool
"The sword-wielding elder has always been ruthless. As long as I cut off your sword, the elder will ruthlessly abandon you. Looking at the whole sect, is there anyone who is more suitable for a direct disciple than me?"
Relentless
The spooky vocabulary has grown again!
Xiao Ran remained calm and said calmly:
"Do you know why Shizun rejected you?"
"Because of prejudice, because I'm a woman."
When he said this, Chu Yan was shaking with anger, Da Qiu's whole body was cold with cold sweat, his hands and feet were cold, and tears almost flowed down.
Xiao Ran shook his head.
"No, because you can't guess Shizun's mind."
The girl rubbed the corners of her eyes to avoid tears.
"What's on your mind?"
Seeing that the other party was interested, Xiao Ran was slow and slow.
"Let me give an example, your red-spotted tiger is delicious, it can soak in the dantian, moisturize the skin, and it is very good for women's health, not to mention that the master likes to drink, have you heard of tiger-whip wine? If I have a red-spotted tiger, I have already slaughtered the filial piety master, how could it be raised to such a big age."
The girl was stunned and almost believed Xiao Ran's ghost!
"This is a tigress, what to make of wine!"
Xiao Ran was embarrassed for a while and regretted not checking Tiger's body.
"It's not important, what matters is filial piety."
Without giving the girl a moment to think, Xiao Ran's ventriloquism was fully utilized.
"Master doesn't value talent, nor beauty, but filial piety. Look at how I did it—the first day I went up the mountain, I changed my house for Master, and prepared warm bath water at night; second Early in the morning, I used the skillful shoulder rubbing technique to press the master to the self-exploding spiritual energy; seeing that the master's wine was gone, I ran around, looking for materials, and started brewing malt wine. If there is no accident, the juice will be produced tonight. ; Next, I will plant trees, farm fields, dig hot springs, and transform the bare Zhijian Peak into the most beautiful place in the Zongzhi Mountains... Understand? A filial child, but a filial disciple who can help her with her daily life, think about it carefully, do you have my skills?"
Although Xiao Ran's words were heart-wrenching, they were true and not lies.
The girl subconsciously glanced at the whole peak.
She doesn't know how to house, but this house is really well built. The location of the eight foundations has a hint of avenues, which is more reasonable than the best house in the imperial capital.
Underground winemaking is also fermenting at a bizarre rate.
She has only seen the method of hoeing in the valley of Uncle Chen Gongxing...
She suddenly remembered the words of Lin Yunzi, the coach of the outer door.
This child should only be heard a few times in the world!
real or fake
This is clearly just a mortal, how could there be such a state
Or was it done by someone else
She can't be 100% sure, these are all done by Xiao Ran, but she has a test that can let the other party reveal his secrets on the spot.
"You said just now that you pinched the elder's shoulders so that she couldn't control herself, and even exploded her spiritual energy?"
Finally got fooled!
This girl is not as childish as her childish figure looks, nor is her soft voice as innocent as it sounds.
Xiao Ran squinted slightly, looked up at the petite body stained by the setting sun, and said faintly:
"Do you want to try it too?"
