Xishan Temple, which seems to be located on the mountainside, is heavily guarded. Zhang Jian appeared in front of the steps from the fourth-grade official uniform wearing a great peasant order.
There are many Taoist temples around.
There is no shortage of women from princely and aristocratic families who come here to burn incense and make wishes.
On the carriage in front of the mountain, the carriage is like a dragon, and there are many hawkers, as well as young hunters, porters, and salesmen doing business around with fur goods and some handicrafts.
Zhang Jian has found what he needs for this trip.
As far as the eye can see, in several flower beds in front of Xishan Temple, these wild tomatoes are everywhere. They seem to be planted in the surrounding flower beds as ornamental flowers.
Zhang Jian ordered people to find the master of Xishan Temple first. He was a frosty Kun Taoist with a plump figure and a whisk in his hand. His cloud-like black hair was bound by a hair crown, and his name was Taoist Jingyue.
Knowing Zhang Jian's intention, she directly greeted the imperial guard next to her, allowing Zhang Jian to freely pick these 'wild flowers' fruits.
Then he left indifferently. This Kun Dao seemed to have a unique temperament, with a detached temperament that was indifferent to fame and fortune!
Zhang Jian was not polite. He picked some wild tomatoes and saved the seeds. He was going to find another piece of land and use the magic method to try planting. From the easy to the difficult, if he could open up the situation on these wild tomatoes, he believed that other crops would be better. Problems were quickly solved one by one.
However, Zhang Jian was not prepared to complete this matter alone. He was specialized in the art, so he planned to recruit Fengling as his assistant.
Many of the magic techniques of the mountain god lineage are extremely beneficial to promoting the growth of crops and puffing fruits. As mountain gods, they are better at these directions.
Of course, Zhang Jian did not take such a trivial matter lightly. In Zhang Jian's opinion, if one could clearly understand the joints and principles involved, then one could use it to gain a glimpse of the magical power that mediates creation in mythology, from the small to the big.
But when leaving Xishan Temple, Zhang Jian suddenly felt something in his heart, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
However, he sensed a familiar figure appearing at the foot of the Western Mountain, but Zhang Jian did not take the initiative to investigate. After collecting some ripe wild tomatoes, he led the people away.
"Why is he here?"
At this time, in the corner, a tall figure dressed as an ordinary wealthy and idle man looked at Zhang Jian and his group from a distance.
This is a man with a handsome figure, a strong back and strong shoulders, and a stern bearing. He has deep blood and energy all over his body. At first glance, he is an extraordinary person.
There was some hesitation in his eyes.
Zhang Jian's appearance made him a little wary.
But he did not back down. Instead, he walked out of his hiding place with a calm face and walked directly into a nearby Taoist temple called Xuanyang Temple. He made a wish and fulfilled it, just like an ordinary believing man in the world.
But this scene could not hide Zhang Jian's gaze.
In the small sedan at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated.
That's An Ruming!
General of the Shence Army!
He has seen it several times!
The purpose of An Ru Ming is obviously Xishan Temple.
What’s inside Xishan Temple?
Apart from a few heartbroken royal princesses and princesses, there were only concubines.
With An Ruming's status, if he likes any princess or princess, he doesn't need to be so evasive and can show up openly and openly.
"This General An is playing with fire!"
This thought flashed through Zhang Jian's mind.
Whether she is a sinful concubine or a concubine who voluntarily becomes a monk, she is the emperor's woman. How can you touch the emperor's women?
Zhang Jian can imagine that once this incident breaks out, it will become a time bomb, and the entire Haojing city will be turned upside down.
An Ruming now controls an entire Shence Army, which is said to number 150,000, and every one of them is an elite!
…
In the Number One Scholar's Mansion, after Zhang Jian returned to the mansion, he personally found a hoe and dug in the corner next to the Number One Scholar's Mansion. His actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.
After Qi Yuhua heard the news, he led the young girl to the side. She was wearing a red dress and looked like a blooming peony. She looked at Zhang Jian in amazement with her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but say.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
“Grow something special!”
Zhang Jian raised his head and smiled.
When Qi Yuhua saw this, he said: "Husband, you are under Wenquxing. A gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Just let the housekeeper order someone to do this kind of thing!"
Next to him, the young family members nodded quickly.
"Master, if you have something to do, you can ask the villain to do it!"
He is Zhang Fu, Zhang Lu's younger brother. He has the same figure, and you can tell at a glance that he came down from a vine, but his face is much more delicate than Zhang Lu's.
After Zhang Lu joined the army, Zhang Fu came from Fengyang's hometown and entered the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion to succeed Zhang Lu.
"It's just a small thing!"
Zhang Jian refused.
He casually took out some mature wild tomato seeds, which were yellow and shriveled seeds. He used a little rejuvenation technique to stimulate some of their vitality, eliminating the process of soaking, and put them under his feet. In this black land.
The small corner under his feet is a piece of fertile black soil, with the sun rising, and the appropriate temperature. Zhang Jian believes that he should be able to grow a crop of wild tomatoes.
If it doesn't work, then we can only stretch the cost and build a small rune array to control the temperature and try to create sunlight at the same time.
In fact, this is not a difficult problem for the Yin God Lord. It can be solved after drilling it thoroughly. The only problem is how to amplify the hidden characteristics of the wild tomatoes that represent the size.
If one could see through the mystery of creation, there would be no need for interbreeding from generation to generation.
In Zhang Jian's view, this is the beginning of mediating good fortune.
After everything was done, Zhang Jian used a little rejuvenation technique, which attracted some rainwater to moisten the small land. He felt that some seeds began to break through the soil and take root. Zhang Jian stopped the technique. He did not force them to Ripening happens overnight, but giving it some opportunities to grow naturally.
But Qi Yuhua still saw green shoots growing on this small piece of land, which was extremely gratifying.
This scene also made her beautiful face show a look of joy.
Witnessing the budding life always brings joy to one's heart.
Zhang Jian dropped the hoe and handed it to Zhang Fu, but he stepped forward and picked up the somewhat confused Zhang Changan and said with a smile.
"Come on, let's make something delicious!"
Hearing Zhang Jian talking about delicious food, Zhang Changan also made a milky sound.
"Daddy, I want delicious food too!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian laughed.
When Qi Yuhua saw this scene, a faint smile appeared on her gentle face.
Two girls, Yu Yao and Qu Lian, also followed quickly.
Under the jujube tree in the yard, several clean bamboo baskets were placed on the stone table.
The bamboo basket was filled with wild tomatoes that Zhang Jian had picked in front of Xishan Temple.
"Husband, are these the ones you are referring to?"
At this time, Qi Yuhua looked at these bright red wild tomatoes.
They looked very good. Qi Yuhua had tried them when he first met them, but after eating one, he was unwilling to try them again.
Because it is really sour.
It's more sour than sweet and has a weird taste.
Qi Yuhua is not used to this taste.
Zhang Jian smiled slightly when he saw Qi Yuhua's expression. In fact, these wild tomatoes have not been selected and optimized. They are indeed extremely sour, and only a small part of them are purely sweet.
But this stuff is delicious when made into ketchup.
Especially it can be added to some special dishes, such as hot pot.
"It's a pity that ketchup has no chili pepper and lacks soul!"
Zhang Jian regretted that he did not like pure tomato sauce, but added some red pepper to stir-fry it.
Making this delicacy is actually very simple. After peeling and washing, add some onions, garlic, white sugar and stir-fry over low heat, then simmer for a while and dry.
However, because he was too small, Zhang Jian could only use magic power to do this.
After the pot of red ketchup came out, Qi Yuhua looked at this scene with some surprise, but looking at the pot of red ketchup, she quickly shook her head.
She was still not used to this smell.
Zhang Jian laughed when he saw this, and immediately turned his eyes to Zhang Changan beside him. When he saw Zhang Changan making a milky sound, reaching for the tomato sauce in the pot, his eyes moved, as if he was picking up the bamboo ketchup. He gently tapped some and put it into her mouth, but she saw Zhang Changan smacking his lips slightly, and soon they started to make a noise.
It seems like she doesn't like the taste very much either.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian shook his head secretly. The taste of this unimproved wild cherry tomato was quite sour. If you don't like it very much, it would be difficult to get used to it.
Later, Zhang Yi and Zhang Zhao came back from Xihua College. To Zhang Jian's surprise, Zhang Yi preferred this sour dipping sauce, especially as a sauteer mixed with some whole grains.
This can't help but make Zhang Jian feel weird.
"It seems that it has some characteristics of fish, and it naturally likes sour taste!"
After planting wild cherry tomatoes, Zhang Jian successively opened several vegetable plots in the corners of the mansion and planted some water spinach and several other seasonal vegetables in an attempt to improve their varieties and at least increase their resistance to pests. disease capacity.
Zhang Jian also took the opportunity to enter Tongshan Mountain to see if there was any magical magic in the depths of Tongshan Mountain that could help him complete such achievements.
…
Kiriyama
The majestic Tongshan Mountain stands in the sky, and the scenery at the foot of the mountain is wonderful.
In the Demon-Slaying Peak, Zhang Jian and Zhang Yi stepped into it. Zhang Jian was already familiar with it, but this was the first time for Zhang Yi to enter it.
Two divine lights appeared from a magnificent stone portal, one large and one small.
Zhang Jian looked calm. Although Zhang Yi had always been very courageous, he still relied on Zhang Jian subconsciously.
"Daddy!"
When Zhang Jian saw this, he just smiled and told him not to be nervous.
During this trip, he planned to take Zhang Yi to visit Izumo and finalize the matter of getting started.
However, even as his heir, if he wants to get a spot as a true disciple within the Tongshan Tradition, it still depends on Zhang Yi's own efforts.
Just like when Bai Xianyin led him there, Zhang Jian also planned to take Zhang Yi to do a specific spiritual root survey.
But before that, Zhang Jian took Zhang Yi to visit his second senior brother Izumoko.
"Junior brother, is this your eldest son Zhang Yi?! He looks very qualified!"
In the middle of Shoujing, Izumo also saw Zhang Yi, but after just glancing at him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Both father and son came with the help of the talismans of the Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth, and came as spirits and souls.
Zhang Yi's state at this time was no different from when Zhang Jian entered the Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth for the first time.
The hazy soul exudes a unique clear light, and you can see at a glance that its soul is far stronger than the practitioners beside it. This is a natural aptitude.
Izumoko had originally learned from the Demon-Slaying Lord that Zhang Jian's eldest son had extraordinary qualifications. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a smile on his face.
Zhang Jian patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder at this time. The naughty little guy was a little nervous now. Upon seeing this, he followed Zhang Jian's instructions and stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said.
"Disciple Zhang Yi pays homage to Master!"
Izumo laughed and stepped forward to help him up: "Get up!"
At that moment, he took out a few small magic weapons that he had prepared and gave them to Zhang Yi as a meeting gift.
Immediately, Izumo asked.
"Fifth Junior Brother, have you ever surveyed and mapped spiritual roots for Yi'er?!"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly and said: "His grandfather tried the secret method of the Dragon Clan. He has four spiritual roots of wind, water, thunder and ice. The first three of the four spiritual roots are upper and middle, and the ice spiritual root is upper and lower!"
Hearing this, Izumo couldn't help but look at Zhang Yi with wide eyes and some surprise.
Zhang Yi's qualifications are no less than those of the talented true disciples in the sect. These practitioners are born with the seeds of immortality.
“It’s true that a tiger’s father has no dog’s son!”
Izumoko was also very happy. Although having spiritual roots didn't mean everything, it did have advantages in practicing corresponding attribute techniques.
Any cultivator of immortality is naturally a disciple who likes to pass on the mantle. Disciples with strong followings can avoid many setbacks.
Unless he is harboring evil intentions and has other thoughts.
Izumo asked another question.
"How about Gen Gu?"
"The root bone has never been surveyed and mapped. It needs to be surveyed and mapped again!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly. He knew that Zhang Yi's body had a strong innate energy, and he might have inherited one of his innate Taoist bodies. However, it had not passed professional secret mapping, so there might be errors.
Izumoko smiled slightly and suggested: "Then go to the Spirit Testing House for a comprehensive test first!"
Zhang Jian nodded, as it should be.
The two of them immediately took Zhang Yi into the Chaling Mountain Residence.
This place is still as lively as Zhang Jian came here a few years ago.
There were many disciples wearing sky-blue Zhishi robes who were busy among them. The leader was still the deacon named Yang Zhen. When he saw Zhang Jian and Izumozi arriving, he was slightly startled, and quickly stepped forward to salute, and then Call on disciples to help register and arrange queues.
Neither Zhang Jian nor Izumo are in a hurry, nor do they care about the moment.
After a while, it was Zhang Yi's turn.
Facing Zhang Jian's slightly encouraging look, Zhang Yi stepped into the spirit detection formation.
The result was not beyond Zhang Jian's expectation. The Dragon Clan's magical method of measuring spirits was very accurate.
Zhang Yi indeed possesses four spiritual roots, and their quality is quite good.
Seeing this, Izumoko pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that Yi'er has inherited the physique of his younger siblings, and the water spiritual root in his body is especially excellent. This is excellent, and it is very suitable for practicing the Taoism of our Kiriyama lineage! "
Hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded.
Although Kiriyama Taoism has various kinds of magic, it is actually famous for water magic.
When fighting with magic, he is famous in the cultivation world for his long-lasting magic power and tenacity of magic.
very unique.
After mapping out the spiritual roots, Zhang Yi immediately followed Yang Zhen into another room.
Good news came soon after.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Izumoko, and Mr. Zhang Xiaolang for mapping out an innate Dao body, the Innate Wushu Dao body!"
There was a look of flattery on Yang Zhen's face that could not be concealed.
The innate Taoist body is not very strong, and can only be regarded as very average among the innate Taoist bodies. But after all, it is also an innate Taoist body, and its foundation is far higher than that of other practitioners.
The future is bright!
