Chapter 40 Digging a hole

Although there is only one main peak in Xishan Mountain, the entire mountain covers an extremely large area, almost comparable to the enclosure of Baique Mountain, and is the main location for villagers to hunt, chop firewood and collect herbs in the two villages of Tuqiu Village and Tushi Village at the foot of the mountain.

There are many springs on the western mountain, and these streams rush out of the mountain, forming a flat open land at the eastern foot of the western mountain, which is called the most important reclamation area of the two villages, and seven or eight out of ten of the spiritual fields of the two villages are also distributed on this open land.

The stream flowed out of the mountain to provide water for these fields to irrigate, but it also divided the open land into several areas, and then these streams gradually began to converge until about seven or eight miles away from the two villages, all the streams were a main stream meandering east through half of Mengyu County, and there were several tributaries along the way, nourishing tens of thousands of acres of fields on both sides of the river, which was called Qinshui by Mengyu County.

Under the leadership of Yang Tiangang, the village chief of Tuqiu Village, it took more than three years to cultivate this spiritual field.

At this time, Yang Junshan was standing on the western mountain looking down, five or six miles away at his feet was the spiritual field that was about to mature, and the whole village of Tuqiu Village attached great importance to these three acres of spiritual fields, especially seeing that the spiritual field was about to mature, the spiritual farmers of Tuqiu Village patrolled day and night, Yang Tiangang and the other three martial realm monks also cooperated sincerely on this matter, and mutually agreed that before the spiritual field matured, at any time there would be at least one martial realm monk stationed in the village.

In fact, the approximate location of the spiritual spring that Yang Junshan vaguely saw when the western mountain collapsed in his previous life was in this generation, but Yang Junshan had searched back and forth around here three times, but he had never found any trace of the existence of the spring.

There are no large beasts in this western mountain, even some wild boars, coyotes, etc., as long as the tiger girl does not take the initiative to provoke, there will be no danger, so Yang Junshan no longer restrains the tiger girl after entering the mountain.

Although Yang Junshan entered the mountain just to find the spring eye, Hu Niu had already brought back two fat hares for Yang Junshan in this small half day, a pheasant with feathered eyes, and a badger that was not dead.

It is still the late summer, the sunlight is rising higher and higher, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

This pomegranate forest should grow naturally, the branches are winding, and there are even two or three tree branches entangled, in the shady canopy, huge pomegranate fruits hang in it, most of the skin color has been yellowed and red, I think it will be completely ripe in more than a month.

Although it was shady and there was a mountain breeze in the woods, Yang Junshan could still feel a trace of unstoppable heat.

After walking a few steps in the woods, I found the thickest pomegranate tree, the fruit on it was the fullest and largest, three steps and two steps to the trunk on a branch to make it, find a pomegranate with the best skin color to peel off, the slightly reddened pomegranate seeds are like crystal gems.

Can't wait to break dozens of particles and hold them in his mouth, a trace of coolness and sweetness gather in his mouth, Yang Junshan suddenly felt the heat in his whole body dissipate.

Yang Junshan, who was sitting on the branch, was eating pomegranate seeds comfortably while looking out from the gaps in the lush branches and leaves, and most of the western mountains fell into his eyes.

The forest on the western mountain is lush, looking around from the pomegranate trees, there are patches of dark green everywhere, and when the mountain wind blows, the crown sways with the wind and suddenly goes into the sea like the waves of the sea.

Looking at the swaying canopy of the surrounding trees, Yang Junshan was slightly stunned, but for a moment he forgot the magnificent scenery in his heart, and then thought in his heart: This pomegranate forest is only halfway up the mountain, and the surrounding terrain is uneven.

Doubts arose in his heart, Yang Junshan no longer cared about the deliciousness of the pomegranate in his hand, and hurriedly stood on the branch and looked around again, only to realize that it was not that the surrounding woods were high, but that the pomegranate forest under his feet was taller and stronger than the surrounding woods!

Most pomegranate trees originally did not grow too tall, and the branches of pomegranate trees were very easy to twist during the growth process, and it was not easy to grow taller, but the number of pomegranate forests where Yang Junshan was located looked thicker than ordinary trees, especially the pomegranate tree where Yang Junshan was located at this time, which was the strongest in the entire pomegranate forest.

Yang Junshan first thought of the spiritual spring, suspecting that this pomegranate forest was actually nourished by the spiritual spring, so it grew more lush than the forests in other places.

He put all the pomegranate seeds in his hand into his mouth and chewed them, almost filling Yang Junshan's mouth, and at the same time concentrating on perceiving them, a large amount of juice gathered, and indeed made people discover a trace of incomprehensible spiritual power.

Yang Junshan was even more determined, and after jumping off the tree, he pushed aside the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and then ran to other woods to compare, and found that the soil on the surface of the pomegranate forest was more humid than the soil in other forests.

However, after Yang Junshan searched carefully in the pomegranate forest again but found nothing, he finally made up his mind to come to the thickest tree where he had picked pomegranates before, and began to dig down on the ground near the forest with the shovel he had prepared before picking it from behind.

In just a moment, he dug a pit about one foot wide and about two feet deep near the roots of the pomegranate tree, and the soil at the bottom of the pit became more and more moist, but there was still no sign of spring water.

Hu Niu had a lot of fun in the nearby mountains, so she returned to the pomegranate forest to watch Yang Junshan dig a pit, her eyes flashed with curiosity, she didn't know what Yang Junshan was doing.

Spitting foam towards the palm of his hand, Yang Junshan first widened the pit mouth by one foot, then jumped into the pit and continued to dig down.

After a short rest, Yang Junshan continued to widen the pit entrance and dig down, but this time the soil layer became harder and harder,......

Yang Junshan was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, but his expression became more and more excited, and the harder the soil under the pit, the more happy he became.

Hu Niu looked at Yang Junshan's expression and was suspicious at first, and then sniffed the hard soil that Yang Junshan had shoveled out of the bottom of the pit, and then spread joy around the pit mouth.

Whenever the soil is nourished by spiritual energy, it will definitely become compact and hard, and the thicker the soil containing spiritual power, the harder it is, sometimes even harder than stone.

The reason why spiritual fields can only be cultivated by spiritual cultivators is not only because spiritual cultivators know how to cultivate with cultivation, but more importantly, only monks can cultivate hard spiritual fields, and ordinary people, even monks with less than the third level of cultivation, will find it very difficult to cultivate a low-grade spiritual field.

Just imagine that a stone slab the size of an acre of land has to be broken into pieces and then smashed into foam, not to mention ordinary people, even monks with a cultivation level below the third level cannot perform such labor.

Of course, you can also use beasts such as the Han Niu Beast that have a temperament and are easy to domesticate to cultivate the spiritual field, but there are not many of this kind of large livestock in the entire mound village, and ordinary people or those with low cultivation level cannot control it, not to mention that the cultivated land can be replaced by domesticated fierce beasts, and the cultivation of the spiritual field is not just the one who can cultivate the field.

At this time, the lower Yang Junshan dug down, the higher the hardness of the soil, indicating that the spiritual power contained in the soil was richer, and the more it proved that Yang Junshan's guess was correct.

Another shovel of broken soil was thrown out of the pit, and now Yang Junshan's whole body had reached the pit, and at this time, the soil at the bottom of the pit had even begun to seep out with a trace of spiritual energy.

Holding the shovel and gasping for breath in the pit, he suddenly heard the tiger girl above his head calling "whoosh", Yang Junshan looked up, but saw that the front half of the tiger girl was already lying in the pit and jumping.

Yang Junshan quickly shouted: "Don't jump, don't jump, I can't ride you in the pit!"

But he still said it was too late, and as soon as he finished speaking, the tiger girl jumped towards him.

Yang Junshan hurriedly hugged the little tiger cub, which was already weighing thirty or forty pounds, and his body suddenly sank, and this guy seemed to have gained weight again.

As soon as this thought flashed through his heart, Yang Junshan heard a crisp sound of "clicking" under his feet, and his heart was startled, and he secretly said: No!

Immediately followed by a series of crisp sounds, Yang Junshan's feet suddenly relaxed, and he didn't even have time to exclaim, but subconsciously hugged the tiger girl in his arms tightly, and the whole person fell down.

Wow, the sound of clods of soil falling on the ground was like rubble smashing randomly, followed by a muffled sound of "dong", and Yang Junshan's moaning of "ouch, ouch" sounded in the darkness.

The tiger girl in her arms broke free from Yang Junshan's arms the moment he landed, and a pair of tiger eyes even emitted a faint fluorescence in the darkness.

Yang Junshan turned over and sat up from the ground, and then he heard the sound of "rushing" water in his ears, and the surroundings were dark, and Yang Junshan couldn't judge where he was, but the immediate heart-wrenching cough made Yang Junshan sure that there must be a strong aura around him, because he was choked.
