The Zi Yao Empire, the southwestern border.
The mountains here are vast and the peaks are like forests. Since ancient times, it has been known as "the land of three thousand mountains and the land of moat".
The sunset glows like fire.
In the distance, a wisp of cooking smoke could already be seen rising.
Lin Xun's eyes lit up, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and let out a long breath: "I finally see a place where someone lives..."
He has been trekking in this poor mountain and bad water-like place for seven days, sleeping in the open air and eating wild fruits. Along the way, he has experienced many dangers and hardships, and several times he almost died in the mouth of the beast.
At this time, a wisp of cooking smoke could be seen. Although it was very far away, it still made Lin Xun's heart revive, and his body that was very tired was revived.
move on.
Not long after, a neatly cultivated spiritual field appeared in the field of vision, which made Lin Xun further confirm that since there was a spiritual field, there should be a village nearby.
There is a spiritual valley planted in this spiritual field, which is obviously about to mature. The ears of the grain are heavy, and a gust of wind blows.
"According to this growth, this Spirit Valley can be harvested in less than ten days... eh? No."
Lin Xun seemed to have found something. He came to the Lingtian by the roadside, and took a closer look. Sure enough, he found that although the growth of this spiritual valley was good, it was not optimistic.
The Lingtian is moist and fertile, and there is no lack of spiritual power, but on the green stems of the Linggu, there is a faint sign of decay and withering, which is difficult to find without careful observation.
Lin Xun pulled out a Spirit Valley, put it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, then used his fingertips to gently lift off the green skin of the stem, and immediately his pupils froze.
I saw inside the stem, there were many bright white bugs, only the size of gravel, they kept squirming and were eating the vitality contained in the stem of Linggu.
Sand bugs!
This Linggu is suffering from a plague of insects.
According to Lin Xun's judgment, if these sand spot insects cannot be removed in time, this spiritual valley that is about to mature will wither and decay, losing all spiritual power. Even if it is harvested at that time, it will suffer heavy losses. No charge.
"It seems that there shouldn't be a [Spiritual Rune Master] in this village, otherwise, I wouldn't have to watch such a bad situation in the Spirit Valley, which is about to mature."
Lin Xun thought about it, and then he shook his head dumbly. In this poor and bad place, I am afraid that no spirit pattern master would want to live here.
After all, as far as Lin Xun knows, the spirit tattooists in this world are very noble people.
Suddenly a sigh came. Lin Xun turned his head and saw that not far away, a burly and tall middle-aged man dressed in animal skin was sitting on the edge of a Lingtian, staring at Lingtian and sighing.
This middle-aged man frowned, and his dark and rough outline was full of troubles.
Lin Xun's heart moved, he stepped forward and said, "Is Uncle worried about this spiritual field?"
"Yeah, sigh, this damned thief, it has not rained for a full month. If this continues, the three acres of spiritual valley I have planted will be finished."
The middle-aged animal skin seemed to be depressed for a long time, and when he heard the words, he said it like a complaint.
But when he turned his head to see Lin Xun's face clearly, he was surprised: "Little guy, where did you come from?"
In his eyes, Lin Xun was dressed in white sackcloth and sackcloth that he had washed, with a thin body and a pale face that looked weak.
There was an old and mottled wooden box on his back, and the wooden box didn't know what was in it, so that his waist was bent a little.
Looking at their age, at best they are twelve or thirteen years old.
It was a little strange that such a young man suddenly ran to the ground of Feiyun Village.
You must know that there is only one Feiyun Village within this radius of thousands of miles. Other than that, all other places are rolling mountains, inaccessible to people. In the middle-aged animal skin's impression, Feiyun Village had never seen a stranger again in the past ten years or so.
But today, a 12- or 13-year-old thin boy suddenly appeared in front of his spiritual field. How could he not be surprised?
"Uncle, it doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I can help you solve this problem."
Lin Xun said with a smile.
He knew very well that if he reported his name, he would inevitably be pursued by the other party to ask more questions, which would take too much time, and he was too hungry to walk.
The middle-aged animal skin suddenly stood up and said, "What did you say?"
Lin Xun smiled and said, "I said I can help you solve this problem and make this spiritual valley a bumper harvest."
The middle-aged animal skin frowned and looked at Lin Xun's thin and pale face, which was a little naive, and said suspiciously, "Little guy, aren't you bragging?"
These words came out of the mouth of a frail young man, but it seemed too absurd.
Lin Xun smiled, pointed at the spirit valley with its stems peeled off, and said, "Uncle, look, the spirit valley you planted is not due to lack of rainwater, but is plagued by insects. This kind of insect is called sand. Spotted worms feed on the stems of the Spirit Valley, if you don't get rid of them in time, this piece of Spirit Valley you plant will be completely destroyed."
The middle-aged animal skin was startled, his eyes fixed on the white sand-spotted insect swarm in the stem, and he gritted his teeth: "Damn, no wonder I watered so much water to no avail, it turned out to be these damn pests. What the hell! But..."
His expression suddenly became distressed, and he scratched his head and said, "These pests are distributed inside the stems of Linggu, and I don't know how to kill them."
Lin Xun smiled without saying a word, his eyes narrowed, and his smile was as clean as sunlight.
The middle-aged animal skin frowned and sighed for a long time, then stared suddenly, as if realizing something, and shouted, "Little brother, since you recognize this kind of pest, there must be a way to get rid of them, right?"
Lin Xun nodded, with a trace of calm in his clear eyes.
"Very good!"
The middle-aged animal skin's face flushed with excitement, and the suspicion of Lin Xun in his heart has dissipated a lot.
Seeing the middle-aged animal skin moving, Lin Xun took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, if I do this for you, can you promise me a condition?"
The middle-aged animal skin said without hesitation: "As long as you can help me Tie Shan, let alone one condition, I will promise you all ten conditions!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the words were too full, and immediately said embarrassingly: "Of course, all the conditions you mentioned must be within my ability. If I can't, I can't do anything."
Lin Xun smiled and said, "My condition is very simple, I just want to find a place to live in the village."
Tie Shan said in surprise: "You said you want to settle in Feiyun Village?"
Lin Xun nodded, his eyes were clear and clean, he was not joking, when he needed to be serious, he would never reveal any frivolous gods..."
His expression suddenly became distressed, and he scratched his head and said, "These pests are distributed inside the stems of Linggu, and I don't know how to kill them."
Lin Xun smiled without saying a word, his eyes narrowed, and his smile was as clean as sunlight.
The middle-aged animal skin frowned and sighed for a long time, then stared suddenly, as if realizing something, and shouted, "Little brother, since you recognize this kind of pest, there must be a way to get rid of them, right?"
Lin Xun nodded, with a trace of calm in his clear eyes.
"Very good!"
The middle-aged animal skin's face flushed with excitement, and the suspicion of Lin Xun in his heart has dissipated a lot.
Seeing the middle-aged animal skin moving, Lin Xun took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, if I do this for you, can you promise me a condition?"
The middle-aged animal skin said without hesitation: "As long as you can help me Tie Shan, let alone one condition, I will promise you all ten conditions!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the words were too full, and immediately said embarrassingly: "Of course, all the conditions you mentioned must be within my ability. If I can't, I can't do anything."
Lin Xun smiled and said, "My condition is very simple, I just want to find a place to live in the village."
Tie Shan said in surprise: "You said you want to settle in Feiyun Village?"
Lin Xun nodded, his eyes were clear and clean. He was not joking. When he needed to be serious, he never showed any frivolous spirit, and he was accompanied by a large group of villagers.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the vast Cangshan Mountains red.
Lin Xun was stunned and shrugged, knowing that the situation had changed.
