The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 669
They walked in the mountains for another day, and finally saw a faint figure of a house not far away.

Bai Jinxiu pointed there and said, "That's where our sect is."

After Ji Biao set up an awning to look there, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it finally here? After walking for a few days, I'm really tired. This is more tiring than I have fought in several battles."

Xiaowen chuckled and said, "It's still far away. You haven't heard that Wangshan ran to death. If we want to get back to Zongmen from here, we have to walk for at least half a day."

Ji Biao was depressed when he heard this.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said: "That's the reason. When walking in the mountains, you often look close, but you walk far away. After all, the mountain roads are rugged and winding, and you can't use your experience on flat ground to judge. Shanzhou The Loess Plateau over there is full of ravines, and people from two villages can often chat and sing songs through a ravine, but it takes at least half a day to walk to the opposite village, and sometimes even a day or two."

Several people continued to move forward.

But here, the road is much better than before.Most of the mountain roads are on the ridges. Although they are winding and rugged, there is no need to drill through various holes.

Along the way, many figures were seen.Some are hunters, hunting in the mountains with long-legged and thin-waisted hounds.

Those hunters are all strong and strong, with skilled and precise bow skills, and they cooperate with the hounds in an incomparable tacit understanding.

A hunter pointed his bow and arrow at an elk grazing in the distance, but suddenly put down his bow and arrow after a while, and looked elsewhere.

Ji Biao asked strangely: "Why didn't the hunter stop shooting all of a sudden?"

Bai Jinxiu said: "These hunters are all outer disciples of the sect, and their main business is hunting and farming. He let this elk go, probably because he saw that the elk was pregnant. There are rules in the sect, whoever hunts When encountering cubs or pregnant female animals, or female animals with young animals, they must be released and cannot be shot, otherwise they will be punished."

Ji Biao asked curiously: "Then you can't shoot this, and you can't shoot that. Isn't it difficult to shoot the prey?"

Xiaowen curled her lips, looked at him contemptuously and said: "It's really stupid. There are so many birds and beasts in this mountain, even if some of them are let go, there will be no lack of hunting. The suzerain said that if it is not against the farming season, the grains are not enough to eat." If you can't get into the pond with a few knuckles, you won't be able to eat fish and turtles; if you put an ax into the forest, you won't be able to use timber. You don't understand such a simple truth, you're really a big bastard."

Being despised by others, Ji Biao scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Jiang Chuan and said, "My lord, what does she mean by all this, I can't understand a word."

Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "Let you study more on weekdays, you will be despised now. The words Xiaowen said come from "Mencius", which is the words of Mencius, the sub-sage, who persuaded King Hui of Liang. The general meaning is If the season of agricultural production is not delayed, there will be more food. If the dense nets are not lowered into the pond, there will be more aquatic products such as fish and turtles. If you go to the mountains to log in a certain season, you will not run out of wood.

This is the same reason for hunting. The purpose of not killing young animals and pregnant female animals is to give the young animals a chance to grow up, so that they can provide a steady stream of prey.If you fish in the dry marsh, you will soon have nothing to hunt.To put it in a simple sentence, it is to implement a sustainable development strategy. "

After listening to Jiang Chuan's explanation, Ji Biao suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Young master is really knowledgeable. I understand everything when I say it this way."

Xiaowen gave him a supercilious look.

Bai Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and she praised softly: "Brother Chuan, what you said about the sustainable development strategy is really interesting. It sounds fresh, but it has a lot of meaning when you think about it carefully. If the master knows it, he will definitely appreciate it." Added."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that a sentence from his past life that he said casually would win such a high evaluation, his old face flushed slightly.

Several people continued to walk forward, and saw that a lot of farmland had been reclaimed in the flat place in the mountain.Some are on flat land, while others are terraced fields reclaimed on hillsides.

There are people working in these farmlands, wearing bamboo hats, bunts, and a typical farmer's attire.

Jiang Chuan watched their movements carefully. These people were holding farm tools, and there seemed to be a strange charm in every move they made.

After watching it for a long time, I feel that they don't seem to be working, but are used for practicing.

Those who dig the ground, the head in the hand is flying up and down, and the dirt is flying, fast and smooth.

Those who hoed the ground, the weeds in the field flew backward one after another with the hoe, at the same height, and they all landed in the same place, which was very precise.

Some people held bamboo baskets in their hands, picked up beans from the basket with their hands, flicked their fingers slightly, and those beans fell very precisely into the small pits that had been planed in advance.

After watching for a while, Jiang Chuan was fascinated by what he saw. He felt that these people did not seem to be farming, but rather seemed to be performing an art.

Ji Biao was also dumbfounded, and murmured, "I never thought that crops could be grown like this."

Bai Jinxiu looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said with a smile: "These are also outer disciples, belonging to the agricultural sect. Although their main business is farming and planting, they also practice martial arts. This is actually their daily martial arts training method, integrating martial arts into During the work, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

Going further up, I saw a craftsman digging stones in the mountains, walking like flying in the mountains with a basket full of stone slabs on his back.

Seeing a woodcutter chopping trees in the forest, his big ax was flying, and a big tree fell to the ground after a while.The woodcutter was carrying a big tree as thick as a man, and he came to a wooden frame and moved quickly with the saw next to him. After a while, the big tree became a piece of flat plank.

Going forward, I saw swarms of bees flying in a valley full of rapeseed flowers. There were wooden boxes not far away, and countless bees were flying in and out of those wooden boxes. The beeman is collecting honey in a mask and gown.

"These are all disciples of the outer sect. The masons quarry the stones. Some roads, stone houses and even stone tables and chairs in the sect are paved and built by them. The woodcutter cuts wood and is also a carpenter, making various furniture and utensils. The beemaker raises bees, In addition to eating the bees, the remaining bees are used to make beeswax." Bai Jinxiu introduced with a smile seeing Jiang Chuan and the two watching intently.

Jiang Chuan sighed in his heart. During this journey, he saw all kinds of Baiyunzong, and he looked completely self-sufficient.

He originally thought that with Dong Xiangchun's income to support the Baiyun Sect, the disciples in the sect are used to practice martial arts or learn other mechanical skills, so there is no need to work so hard.

But right now, it seems that many situations are different from what I imagined.

"Young master, look quickly, there is a bird man over there!" Ji Biao suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.

Jiang Chuan looked up and saw a huge "birdman" swooping down from a mountain top, with two wings made of unknown materials flickering rapidly.

It's just that the birdman is still falling rapidly, the weak upward force of the flickering wings can't stop the birdman's fall at all, and he is about to fall headfirst to the ground.

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the rapidly falling birdman.

Xiaowen suddenly yelled: "Miss, the suzerain has started to fly again."
