"Grandpa, this matter is of great importance, Zhi'er understands." Tang Zhi quickly replied.
"The planting of spiritual rice is very demanding. It is not just about planting seeds in the spiritual field and harvesting when the season comes." Su Hu continued to describe.
Liu Yuyi frowned, a little confused. If you plant spiritual things in the spiritual field and take care of them carefully, you should have no worries about harvesting!
The Zhang family in Tianping County planted Yinling flowers in the spiritual field, and Liu Yu took care of the Phnom Penh grass in Huangsheng Mountain for a year. There seemed to be no special requirements, that is, they only had to send special personnel to take care of them.
"The growth of spiritual rice requires a large amount of spiritual water for irrigation, so that there can be a good harvest during the autumn harvest..." Su Hu finished his narration and took a sip of tea.
It turns out that planting spiritual rice not only requires fertile spiritual fields rich in spiritual power, but also requires irrigation with a large amount of spiritual water to produce full spiritual rice. The spiritual water used by the Su family for irrigation was taken from a stalactite cave in Luping Mountain, named "Lvyin".
The "Green Hidden" cave is a stalactite cave, located in a hidden place deep in the Green Screen Mountain. Water drips down from the top of the cave all the year round, forming a pool at the bottom of the cave. The water pool is not big, but the spring water in the pool contains spiritual power, reaching the specifications of second-grade intermediate spiritual water. It is very rare and is a beautiful gift from the beautiful Green Screen Mountain.
But this Green Hidden Stone Cave is not unique to the Su family. At the other end of the Green Screen Mountain is the Lujiabao, which is also a cultivation family. Together with the Sujiabao, they are known as the "Second Green Screen Castle" in the Shu Kingdom's cultivation world.
The Su family and the Lu family have been friends for generations. The two families have advanced and retreated in the world of cultivation and are married to each other. They are very close.
The Lu family also occupies a share of Luyin Stone Cave. There is also a spiritual field in Lujiabao, and spiritual rice is grown, which also requires spiritual water in the cave. The two tribes jointly keep this secret, work together to protect and occupy the Green Hidden Stone Cave, and do not allow other forces to get involved.
It turns out that a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Su family and the Lu family were brothers and disciples of the Huangsheng Sect. They discovered the Luyin Stone Cave by chance. The two families moved to settle under the Luping Mountain, and each opened up a spiritual cave at great expense. Tian, this is the "Green Screen Second Fort".
For a thousand years, due to the existence of Luyin Stone Cave, the two tribes have been very close, and this has continued. But a hundred years ago, the two families had their first dispute, also because of the Green Hidden Stone Cave.
The Lingtan in the Luyin Stone Cave was the size of a pond when it was first discovered. After more than 800 years, the two tribes used it without restraint, and the Lingtan shrank rapidly and became a puddle, shrinking nearly ten times.
That year, there was very little spiritual water in the Lingtan, and it was no longer enough for both tribes to irrigate the spiritual fields at the same time. The two tribes had their first dispute over water collection, and several younger generations even fought.
After all, the two tribes have been friends for generations. After the two tribes chiefs sat down and discussed calmly, they decided to conduct a competition. The winner would have priority in irrigating the spiritual field, while the loser would lose the right to water this year, and the spiritual field could only be replanted with other crops. For spiritual materials with low requirements, the losing party is destined to only receive a few spiritual stones that year.
The two clans had to compete in a martial arts competition, and they could only send their grandchildren to avoid damaging the harmony between generations. The competition was divided into three games, and the family with more wins was the final winner. The Su family regretfully lost that time. You can only plant "Juwo grass" in your own spiritual field.
"Juwo grass" is a first-level low-grade spiritual grass with almost no medicinal value. It is planted in spiritual fields and can grow extremely lush with a little care. The main function of Juwo grass is to burn it into ashes and scatter them in the spiritual field after it matures to fertilize the spiritual power in the spiritual field.
This grass is tenacious and can absorb free spiritual energy. Even if it is not planted in a spiritual field, it can still thrive as long as the place where it grows is rich in spiritual energy. There is a huge demand for this grass in the world of cultivation. As long as the family owns the spiritual field, they will buy it in large quantities to maintain the grade of the spiritual field and enhance the fertility contained in the spiritual field.
That year was the first Lingshui crisis and the beginning of the estrangement between the two families. Afterwards, the clan leaders of the two clans launched an investigation into why the spiritual water in the cave was so scarce, and found that the root cause was the two families' uncontrolled abuse for many years, which had damaged the spirituality of Green Ping Mountain, greatly reducing its spiritual energy and damaging its foundation.
That year, there was a severe drought in the Kingdom of Shu, and the gods were not kind. Another major reason was the sudden decrease in water vapor in the Green Screen Mountain, which also caused the production of spiritual water in the cave to suddenly decrease.
The spiritual water in the cave was born from the Green Ping Mountain, and is the essence of the Green Ping Mountain. The two tribes have stolen it wantonly for nearly a thousand years. It is not only used to irrigate the spiritual fields, but also transported to the market to be sold in exchange for spiritual stones and fished in the dry lake. Bitter fruit.
The patriarchs of the two clans thought carefully and feared that if the spiritual water was used uncontrollably, the spirituality of Green Ping Mountain would become weaker and weaker, and eventually it would not be able to produce spiritual water. By then, the two families would have lost their foundation, and their family fortunes would surely decline. Defeated.
After discussion, the two tribes took some measures. One was to limit water intake. Each tribe could only take out a maximum of one hundred barrels of spiritual water from the pool every year, which was just enough to irrigate the spiritual rice.
The second is to build a canal and lead a tributary from Anjiang, thousands of miles away, to surround Luping Mountain.
This canal has been greatly welcomed by the people of Ansha County, and has gained an excellent reputation for the two ethnic groups. It has brought tangible benefits to Ansha County, which has always been short of water, and it can be regarded as benefiting people's livelihood.
The construction of this canal consumed a lot of financial resources from the two tribes. A total of tens of millions of silver was poured into it. The two tribes, who had always been wealthy, also lived a frugal life for a long time.
"This year there is another severe drought in the Kingdom of Shu. After a year of accumulation, the amount of spiritual water in the Lingtan of the Luyin Stone Cave is less than 200 barrels. When my father celebrates his birthday, the Lu family will bring people to celebrate his birthday and hold a fighting competition. , decide the right to use the spiritual water," Su Hu said helplessly.
"Grandpa, did you ask Zhi'er to join the fight?" Tang Zhi was first shocked by Su Hu's secret, and then asked excitedly.
"That's right!" Su Feihong nodded and replied.
"Grandpa, Zhi'er will definitely win and won't let you down." Tang Zhi waved his fist and said confidently.
"When the time comes, pay attention to safety and do your best." Su Feihong smiled, then turned to Liu Yu and said, "My dear nephew, are you willing to help me?"
"Senior, I would be honored if I could help, but can outsiders also come on stage?" Liu Yu replied doubtfully.
I was thinking to myself, isn't it stipulated that only the grandchildren of the two clans can participate in the fight? If outsiders can also participate, wouldn't it be safer to just spend the spirit stones to hire powerful cultivators?
"We and the Lu family have indeed stipulated that only the grandchildren of the two families are eligible to participate in the water fight. Zhi'er is my granddaughter, and the nephew can pretend to be Zhi'er's husband and participate in the battle as the Su family's grandson-in-law." Su. Feihong said calmly.
"This..." Liu Yu didn't know what to say. This was too unexpected. The grandson-in-law can also be regarded as the grandson of the family?
"Grandpa, senior brother and I have nothing to do with each other. Do you have any misunderstanding?" Tang Zhi defended instinctively, with a look of shock on his face.
