Section 0130 Zhang Hua Table Tree

The night shakes in a regular pattern, as warm and comfortable as a mother's cradle... Is the cradle a bit hard?

Jiang Zinan was startled and suddenly woke up from his confusion. His eyes were pitch black, and he could already feel that he was in the cabin. His familiar breath was blowing on his ear, and he felt a bit hot and weak as he rushed towards the ear wall.

The cabin is a bit stuffy, but there is a scent that is as fresh as a pine forest, with a hint of baby's softness. Qianqian has said that this is the smell of a pure body

As soon as my mind cleared, I carefully moved away and slowly got up... The blanket slipped and my body cooled down.

She was startled and stiffened, half lying down and half up. She listened attentively, still breathing soundly, before silently exhaling and carefully groping.

In the darkness, rustling, I finally put on my skirt, thought for a moment, and then put on my fur coat.

Opening the door before leaving, I almost bumped into someone. Upon closer inspection, I fell silent and said, "Shh

Zhou Ling, dressed in black, took her hand off the hilt of the sword and said seriously, "Has the young master woken up

Jiang Zinan looked at the darkness before dawn, and the river below was dark and secluded. However, it was on a commercial boat, which was a double decker ship representing luxury, with dedicated chefs, servants, and "girls"!

There are five rooms and a tea room on the upper level.

There are ten rooms on the lower level, and there is a semi-circular arcade on the deck where passengers can dine and enjoy the scenery.

Ye Qing doesn't have the demeanor of a young master yet, and he doesn't cover everything, only the upper level.

Seeing the dark sky, Jiang Zinan took her hand and said, "He had something on his mind last night. Hmm, he slept late

Come in, "a clear voice came from the cabin.

Jiang Zinan let go of his hand and said, "I'll go check if the chef has made breakfast

Watching her fleeing figure, Zhou Ling shook her head in confusion, entered the cabin, lit the oil lamp, and said, "Young master

The light shone, illuminating the young man who was wearing clothes, with a symmetrical body and hidden strength.

Uh

Is there something wrong with Lingling? "Ye Qing turned back and looked at her with confusion.

Zhou Ling turned her gaze away and stared closely at the candle in front of her, saying, "Although it's daylight, the captain said there will be a big storm and it will be difficult to continue going against the current. He asked me to inform you

Ye Qing didn't immediately agree, Ma Li put on his clothes and walked out of the cabin door.

The sky was a leaden gray, and the river was calm and oppressive. It was a vital waterway, but sailboats were rarely seen on the surface of the water for a mile. In the vast distance, several black spots were leaning towards the shore.

There is indeed a bit of wind and rain to feel

Zhou Ling silently followed and couldn't help but follow along. She didn't see any towns, only heavy mountain shadows. The river, which was originally several miles wide, had become a narrow jade belt in the background.

Young master, this section is already the Tianxia Waterway. "The captain came over with one person, and under Zhou Ling's calm gaze, they stopped three feet away. They had all seen this woman practicing martial arts and were intimidated.

Ye Qing frowned and asked, "Are you ready to dock

Following the captain was the deputy, who looked at the young man in front of him and explained carefully, "Even if we find a spot to dock at this narrow gorge, if the wind and rain become strong and the river surges and flows rapidly, it will be dangerous if the anchor falls off

As he spoke, he glanced at a few black spots on the river in the distance and added, "The first few ships are not going to dock. They go around the mountain ahead and there is a gorge where a tributary intersects. When the tributary enters, there is a cloud pool. There is Shuangliu Town, a dedicated boat parking place, and rest in the town. Look

Shuangliu... "Ye Qing recalled information from her past life. This stream was actually an artificial canal, branching out at the location where the long river entered Tianxia and heading north, seizing a large mountain stream.

Then, the dam platform was lifted layer by layer, and at this point, Yunchi flowed down from a river, specifically bypassing the most dangerous and urgent part of Tianxia, and re flowing southward into the main waterway.

I remember that the Shuangliu Canal has a special structure that limits the amount of water in the cloud pool on the top of Wushan Mountain. It can only be activated when there is abundant rainfall. Now that the water is dry in deep winter and the rain has subsided, can it still be used

The young master knows a lot, "the deputy flattered, and seeing Ye Qing's expressionless face, he quickly added," But a few days ago, there was heavy snow and ice water to replenish it. I heard that the Yunchi Reservoir has stored nearly half of its water, which is sufficient for use. Even if we can't reach Shuangliu Town, we can find a river section below to avoid the rain

Okay, let's take shelter here for now, "Ye Qing nodded

The captain immediately ordered to dispatch the sail slurry, and the ship began to turn. It soon arrived at the mouth of the gorge, with the main waterway facing west, but the northern tributary, Daxi, fell like a waterfall.

There is a tall tower standing between two mountains, with a half mile wide and three zhang high gate. Supported by the magic array, the tower operates steadily, with waterfalls splashing and roaring like thunder, shaking the soul.

Jiang Zinan was coming over with a bowl of hot Congee, when he was surprised and dropped the bowl.

Ye Qing, with quick eyes and quick hands, steadily scooped it up and took a sip, saying, "I added fish soup and boiled it without any fishy smell. Not bad, not bad

Turning his head and staring blankly at Zhou Ling, he couldn't help but think of his previous life when he first met her. His expression was even more exaggerated, and he smiled and said, "Originally, there was a drop in the river surface when this tributary rushed down. Because every year in this section of the main river, there were often ships destroyed and people died. The court specially set up a water gate to control the waterfall, which is not very intelligent. Uh

Consciously shut up, the ship has entered one side of the gate, without arousing any doubts from the two women. It exits the gate and continues up the tributary.

Looking back at the waterfall, Jiang Zinan couldn't help asking, "The long river is winding for thousands of miles. This is the way to prevent rainstorm and flood. There are many such Taoist mechanisms. How to control them? How to repair them?"

Ye Qing smiled with a hint of nostalgia. In her past life, she also had these questions. Later, she realized that in a world where the Dao and Dharma are manifested, the upper echelons are even more exaggerated than technology. Not to mention anything else, adjusting the entire climate of the dragon clan system is not something that 21st century technology can achieve.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties on Earth, agricultural production was based on two crops per year, with an average of 1.5 stones of wheat per mu and 2.8 stones of rice per mu. This is equivalent to only 4.3 stones per year. In this world, wheat was 2.5 stones per mu and rice was 4.5 stones per mu, which is equivalent to seven stones. This is the result of Shinto's regulation of climate and soil.

This is just one example, and there are various aspects to it. Seeing a dam is like this.

Without science, the Earth of the 21st century would starve at least 2/3 of its population, and without the Heavenly Court, the world would have a similar outcome.

He smiled and said, "It's just the control of the magic array on the spiritual tower, but only for supplementation. Most of the power is still through the transformation of upstream hydraulic power. As for the repairs, they are done every hundred years. Do you have many such major projects in your court

Speaking, he pointed ahead and said, "There are sixteen gates throughout the entire process, which makes the court rarely worry about floods. This is also one of the reasons why the court has a long history

But there is only one such structure as the Shuangliu Canal, which ensures stable transportation of the long river waterway. It is not only of great significance for people's livelihood and economy, but also for political and military purposes

Jiang Zinan nodded vaguely. Ye Qing smiled and didn't say much. After drinking Congee, he went to the tea room on the second floor.

Someone immediately stepped forward and brewed tea, and the aroma of the tea quickly filled the tea room.

Unfortunately, this is the characteristic of Xiandao civilization. In terms of power and control, it is even above the average technological civilization, but it cannot be popularized

Ye Qing knew in her heart that this was an irreversible direction of civilization development. On Earth, unless technology evolved to the point where intelligent robots replaced human labor and technology created gods, the noblest tycoons and presidents would be no different physically from the most ordinary otaku.

To develop technology, it is necessary to popularize production and consumption among the people, but even so, there is no reason for bosses and presidents to serve the people.

The Xiandao civilization, even if it establishes a powerful heavenly court, is essentially about personal transcendence, and the power belongs to oneself. Who will be a slave to mortals, or an eternal slave?

Moreover, if it is to be popularized, it is not feasible as the supply of spiritual energy is insufficient for the entire population to cultivate immortality. With immortal immortality and generations of accumulation, not only the entire population, but also the selection of 23 candidates within three years would be very good.

The fundamental purpose of the establishment of the Heavenly Court by the Dao Jun is not to control. If only controlled, the Dao Jun's own power is sufficient to suppress the world, but to "serve the people".

Don't read it wrong, it's this word. Whether it's the dragon clan regulating the climate, the land fertilizing the soil, or the underworld attracting Yin spirits, it benefits people greatly and even cannot do without it!

With this blessing, one can influence the morale of humanity. Ye Qingyue's research has made him increasingly realize that a million year rule is reasonable and not simply suppressed by brute force.

At this point, Ye Qing chuckled and said, "You're right. Being able to dominate for a million years, how could it be brainless? I can think of it all, but they can't think of it

"Well, Shuangliu Town is coming, is the Zhaowang Temple still far away? This is a big chance, do I want to take the beauty of the Zhaowang Temple as a sign of kingliness?" Ye Qing frowned and looked from afar through the wind and rain.

Zhaowang Temple is an ancient holy king. There is a ornamental column tree, but somehow, it absorbs some royal spirit and becomes a ghost.

Originally, as long as the ornamental column tree stayed in the ancestral hall, its Wang Qi was hidden, and ordinary people could not see the trace, even if there was someone who saw it, it didn't matter. Who dares to offend King Zhao and commit crimes in its ancestral hall?

Even if there are people who can see through it and are not afraid of King Zhao, he doesn't need to chop down this tree to make him so arrogant.

So this ornamental column tree has survived to the present day, but this ornamental column tree did not want to find its own way to death. It adored scholars, and changed a scholar. It made friends by writing. It has lived for thousands of years. Its profound literary thinking and reputation gradually spread, and even attracted Yu Fan. Yu Fan treated it as a friend at the beginning. Later, he somehow found the foundation, killed it, and gained Wang Qi.

But there is a reason for this. Without the permission of the Heavenly Court, the monster changed his body to deceive the people, and killing him is not a crime.

I haven't heard of this scholar appearing yet, so there is no reason to kill him. I'm afraid he will be punished by King Zhao.

As I was lost in thought, on a distant road, raindrops rained down with a crackling sound, and a lightning bolt split the sky in half, revealing several riders galloping on the road.

Then it returned to darkness, with only heavy rain pouring down.

Young master, it's raining too heavily. Should we take a break before leaving? "One rider approached the center, wiped the rain, and asked.

No, hurry to the Zhao Wang Temple, "Yu Fan wiped away the rainwater." Uncle revealed the secrets before he died. I paid a lot of money to seek the calculation of the immortal master, and I have already grasped some clues that will affect my future success or failure. I cannot hesitate any longer

As they spoke, another sound of wheels rolling over the bridge like thunder echoed by, and everyone remained silent as they galloped away.
