Chapter 165 Senior brother led me astray! (First update, please subscribe)
Yu Yuan had already anticipated Wen Zhong's choice.
For those who are cultivators of immortality, the world of mortals is not something that can be set foot in casually.
The higher the realm of Taoism, the more we need to stay away from the world of mortals.
Because in the world of mortals, desires are so complex that the total number of all races in the ancient world is more than a trillion.
Once a cultivator sets foot in the world of mortals, he comes into contact with all sentient beings.
Cause and effect are established immediately.
Contact with thousands of people will produce all kinds of causes and effects.
Contact with millions of people will produce millions of causes and effects.
Whether it is good causes and good consequences, or bad causes and bad consequences, they will deepen and evolve over time, and become entangled with each other into a big web. The longer you stay, the deeper you will be trapped.
Just like when Wen Zhong beheaded the Huai River Water God, Linhuan Pass and at least 100,000 people nearby were deeply affected.
Accordingly, Wen Zhong will inherit the cause and effect of these 100,000 people.
And that’s not counting those river spirits and water monsters!
These causes and effects may not be much, but over time, the causes and effects on the body amount to more than trillions?!
Once the cause and effect breaks down, various disasters will surely follow!
Therefore, the vast majority of immortal cultivators live in seclusion in the blessed land of cave heaven and rarely enter the mortal world.
But everything has its pros and cons!
Entering the mortal world and experiencing the secular world will certainly be contaminated by cause and effect, but it can sharpen your mind, strengthen your Taoist heart, and practice through the movement of incense and energy.
Gather incense and faith, gather humanity and luck.
This method is not Taoist orthodoxy, but was pioneered by the Second Holy Temple of Western Buddhism.
After that, I don’t know why, but it suddenly spread throughout the world.
Countless immortal cultivators have turned to the incense and fire path.
The mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in Nanfanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou are filled with incense and steaming clouds.
This kind of practice method is very effective and improves rapidly.
Only if enough people sincerely believe and offer incense can the pure power of faith be formed.
These powers of faith can be used by practitioners to increase their magic power, or they can be given to spiritual treasures and magic weapons to increase their power, or they can be condensed and formed individually... turned into fragrant copper, earthly silver, heavenly gold, etc. and stored, and then
Incense circulates among the gods.
Therefore, for the Incense God, the most important thing is the territory!
As long as the territory is large enough and the population is large enough, the power of faith will continue to gather.
The Great Shang Dynasty, which ruled the largest population, was the largest territory in the world, and also gathered the most powerful human luck!
Therefore, joining a big businessman as an official and cultivating through the luck of human nature can help some practitioners who are shallow in their spiritual practice to speed up their progress in cultivation.
However, this method is not Taoist orthodoxy. In the later stage, it is likely to be contaminated by too much cause and effect, and it will be dragged down by human luck, and it will never be able to reach the top of the immortal path.
Usually, only practitioners with low talent will choose this path.
Wen Zhong's talent is naturally excellent, but he happens to have a worldly heart... In other words, he is too upright and cannot get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
It would be okay if he stayed in Penglai, but once he came to the mortal world and saw these nonsense things, he couldn't just sit back and ignore them.
to be honest.
Cultivation of immortality is inherently a very selfish thing, and one can see clearly.
The world is full of injustices. If we really want to deal with it, how can we deal with it?
Therefore, the vast majority of immortal cultivators choose to live in seclusion in the blessed land of Cave Heaven with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where they can absorb the aura of heaven and earth and gather the essence of all things.
Only focus on cultivating your own path.
But someone like Wen Zhong, who has a strong sense of justice, cannot ignore it.
So for him, embarking on this path is almost a certainty.
It was precisely because Yu Yuan saw this that he made some preparations in advance, compiled some superficial knowledge from his past life memories into an "encyclopedia", and took it out at this time.
In his opinion, this "encyclopedia" can definitely be regarded as a secret book among secret books, which is enough to help Wen Zhong quickly establish a foothold in Dashang, and even gain a pivotal position in the human race.
For more than a thousand years since the beginning of time, the people Yu Yuan has observed the most are the human race.
Even if the mortals in the prehistoric times did not practice Taoism, their physical fitness and other aspects far exceeded the mortals in his memory of previous lives.
Ordinary mortals live a hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their movements never fade.
An ordinary adult's strength, endurance, speed and other qualities all exceed those of top athletes who have received professional training in his memory.
A large cauldron weighing hundreds of kilograms, which is used for daily cooking, can be easily lifted above the head by an ordinary woman.
A few young men can still walk as fast as they can while carrying several thousand kilograms of wood.
A large stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms can be lifted aside by twenty or thirty people.
but……
According to what Yu Yuan saw over a thousand years ago.
This world has backward technology and backward production methods.
It's basically a matter of sowing hard and reaping little, depending on the weather.
The most important thing is that civilization develops extremely slowly!
In these more than a thousand years, Yu Yuan has not seen any changes!
Take growing crops as an example.
This world doesn't even know about silt fertilizer fields, let alone retting manure fields.
As for water conservancy and irrigation, there is also no such thing as seed selection and seedling cultivation.
Growing crops basically involves the three processes of cultivating land, sowing seeds, and harvesting, plus at most weeding.
It is almost impossible to achieve a big harvest under such circumstances.
Even though these people had good weather and good weather by worshiping the gods, they still could not receive much food throughout the year.
The land surrounding Linhuan Pass is a fertile plain.
The local climate is also suitable for the growth of grains, but the memorial to the court song clearly states: "Ten acres of field, the annual harvest is only forty dan."
One acre of land is equivalent to four kilograms of grain per year.
Yu Yuan estimated that one stone from Dashang was equivalent to 24 jins in his memory, which meant that one acre of land could earn 96 jins of grain annually.
Even this most fertile land can only grow so little food on the basis of good weather and good weather. You can imagine how low the harvests in other barren lands are.
In the "Encyclopedia" that Yu Yuan passed on to Wen Zhong, most of it related to common sense in agriculture, water conservancy, breeding, construction, mathematics, medical and health, etc.
This common sense in his eyes is unheard of in this world.
Wen Zhongchu didn't take it seriously at first, but after looking at it a few more times, he couldn't help but be amazed.
"If this waterwheel nullah can be built, wouldn't it be possible to divert water into the fields regardless of whether it rains or not?"
Wen Zhong's biggest worry before was that after killing the Water God, no one would be able to guarantee that the country would have smooth weather.
But now after seeing these "cheats" given by Yu Yuan, he suddenly felt that it was not a big deal, right?
Linhuan Pass is backed by the Huai River, so only waterwheel open channels need to be built.
Regardless of drought or flood, water can be diverted and drained in time!
What more water god do you want?!
Thinking like this, he couldn't wait to tell the news to the people on the shore.
"Look at how anxious you are."
Yu Yuan shook his head and said angrily: "Building a waterwheel nullah is not something that can be done overnight. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources... This matter cannot be rushed. We should get a water god out first."
"Um?"
Wen Zhong looked suspicious, not understanding what he meant.
"Come with me."
Yu Yuan swayed slightly and arrived at the water temple.
This temple was built tall, majestic and magnificent.
Because the Huaishui Water God was beheaded, all the shamans in the Water Temple have disappeared. In the main hall, only the clay sculpture and gold lacquer painted statue of the god is sitting on the throne.
