Chapter 10 Beetles Incense
When Meng Qiao walked away, Ding Xing closed the gate of the cave and returned to the room to check the two items Ding Chenzhi left him.
That silk bag was a treasure sleeve that Ding Xing wanted to have. It must have contained a lot of flavors. However, now Ding Chenzhi travels far away, Ding Xing has lost interest in the baby.
He knew very well that the silk bag must also contain relevant spiritual tools for caring the orange orchard. Accepting this bag means that he has to resist pressure and responsibility on his shoulders.
At that moment, he used the magical spell "The Journey of the Mind" taught by Ding Chen, and sent a trace of divine thoughts, and took a look in the bag.
Sure enough, the largest spiritual tool in this bag is a "fire rock plow".
When the spring is coming next year, Ding Xing will use this spiritual plow to turn over soil for the orange orchard.
The soil in Jinluxian Village contains spiritual energy, which is essentially the nutrient for nurturing fruit trees. Turning the soil several times a year will help the spiritual energy integrate into the roots of the tree and enhance the spirituality of the fruit.
If you are lazy and ignore the soil, then spiritual energy will be missing. In a few years, the fruit will be greatly reduced and you can no longer use it to brew spiritual wine.
There is also a "cold iron scissor" in the magic weapon in the bag.
This is for cutting branches for orange trees. When all the fruits of this season are picked, Ding Xing will use spiritual cutters to prune branches for his own orange trees one by one.
In fact, the spiritual trees in the world of immortal cultivation are harmful to their original nature and should not be done.
But in the garden, monks must cut branches in order to obtain the fruit as soon as possible.
All fruit trees in Jinlu Xianzhuang are generally short in age, and the fruit picking cycle ranges from one to five years. If the branches are not cut and these fruit trees grow wildly, the fruiting period will gradually be extended and will become harvested once every five years.
If Xianzhuang is fortunate to last for more than a thousand years, the fruit trees will be so old that they will not cut branches for generations, and then it will take decades or even hundreds of years to usher in a round of flowering and fruiting.
Most villagers in Xianzhuang have a lifespan of only a few decades, so who can wait?
Cutting branches can inhibit the prolongation of fruiting period.
However, there are some strange fruit roots that are useless no matter how they are cut, such as a black persimmon spirit tree planted at the beginning of Jianzhuang. It is cut branches every day, but it still grows by hundreds of feet high for a hundred feet.
Its seeds are like being left over from ancient times. If they were raised for hundreds of years, they may bear rare extraordinary spiritual fruits.
But what was the result? The owner of the manor gave the order and dug it out directly, and the tree body was refined into a magic weapon.
A family practice place like Jinlu Winery seeks practical, stable, safe, and fancy actions, all of which are strangled.
Ding Chenzhi left behind a "fire rock plow" for arable land, a "cold iron scissor" for cutting branches, a set of "wind and frost flags" for rain, and a bunch of "worm fragrance" for driving out the swarms.
The four essential farming treasures for pastoral monks are all equipped.
In addition to these four treasures and more than twenty low-grade spirit stones, there are only a bunch of books and miscellaneous items left in Chubao's sleeve.
Books are all about Ding Chen's daily practice experience and experience.
It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Ding Chenzhi hopes that Ding Xing will slowly grow into a qualified farmer in the world of immortal cultivation, keep his feet on the ground, and do not act illusory or risky.
Another piece of talisman paper is the musical notes made by Ding Chenzhi. All his advice to Ding Xing was in the talisman.
Ding Xing took the talisman paper and injected it with magic power, a layer of inspiration flashed on the paper, and the sound of Ding Chen, who was originally stored in the talisman, also spread out:
'Well, don't worry, my ancestor, I'm going to the northern border this time, may not be a bad thing. The disciples of the upper sect are prosperous, so they go north to open up Binghua Mountain. When the territory is stabilized, they will inevitably build a new winery. If they make contributions at that time, they may be rewarded with private property."
This "prosperity" actually means "excess".
The Dawei Kingdom has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the population of the mortal world exploded, and the number of disciples from major sects in the world of immortal cultivation has also increased. Even if the blessed land of caves that gather the essence of heaven and earth, it cannot withstand the squandering of monks like ants. The spiritual veins are gradually decreasing, which is not conducive to cultivation, so it is imperative to open up a new territory.
Successful expansion is good for the sect, and failure of expansion is not entirely harmful to the sect.
'I have paid the fruit tax to the village in advance. You can practice with peace of mind. As for the orchard, you can use the spirit stones I left to hire servants! I don't ask you to have a good harvest every year, but I just want to leave it alone!'
Jinlu Winery contains casual cultivators from other places or even foreign countries. They generally do not have their own property and are willing to accept employment. This is also the origin of the servants.
'You are still young and single. If you are bullied by idle Zhuangmin, you can go to find your uncle and uncle Wu Shiqing. He will not stand by and watch you for your deceased grandmother's affection."
Ding Chenzhi was married to the village, and he had no children, but he also had relatives. He just didn't walk around very much. However, for Ding Xing, he made a special trip to ask Wu Shiqing before leaving.
'You are here for a few months and you will inevitably be frightened and scared when you encounter such a change. If you feel homesick, I understand that if you really don't want to stay in the winery, you can provide the Chu Baoxiu I left to the farm and return it to the orange orchard before leaving. Don't escape to the farm without permission. Remember, remember!'
This time, Ding Chenzhi received it on behalf of Ding Xing.
Ding Xing would never escape privately, and he would trap Ding Chen in danger.
Instead, he worked harder and harder than in the previous few months.
In the next ten days, Ding Xing went out early and returned late, and spent the whole day picking ripe hot oranges in the orchard.
But for some reason, there are more and more pests in the garden. Except for the armored scorpions, poisonous aphids, and white aphids that Ding Xing knew, they are all strange strange insects. They drive away one wave and another wave, making Ding Xing run away.
His orange orchard has a total of forty acres. He roughly estimated that one-tenth of the fruit trees showed signs of pests appearing on them.
Although it is currently in the harvest period and it is common for demon insects to visit, the number is too large. After all, it is not a worm disaster.
Ding Xing was anxious, but he couldn't help but find his neighbor Meng Qiao for advice.
Meng Qiao told him: "In the past, demon insects flew in the orchard, and everyone was tacitly convinced that they would kill them in their own gardens and would not let them make trouble for their neighbors, but the servants on the berry garden on your right may have driven the demon insects to your home in order to please their employers."
Wu Zhaoying's berry garden occupies 100 acres of land, and it attracts many demon insects. He will definitely be difficult to deal with when he drives it to Ding Xing at once.
Meng Qiao's method proposed is: "If your uncle left you with a worm-absorbing fragrance, you'd better light it up. Once the demon insects gather together, the more they gather, and they must be removed as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more trouble it will be!"
Before he had no choice, Ding Xing was unwilling to use the insect fragrance. This spiritual fragrance was expensive and was purchased by Ding Chenzhi for a large amount of money, specifically equipped to deal with insect disasters.
Every few years, Jinlu Winery will have an insect plague. This kind of disaster is much more terrible than the locust plague in the world, because the locust plague only eats food, and even people eat it.
If Ding Xing consumes the incense of insects now, if the insect plague comes next year, he will be unable to resist, and the orange trees in his home may be uprooted by the insect swarm.
But if you don't need it, you can't get rid of the insect disease in front of you.
Meng Qiao said very clearly that the habit of demon insects is to gather more and more.
