"Mother!" the man stomped his foot angrily, "where can I find a sip of water to drink?" ”

"Son, listen to me, it is called filial piety," the old lady whispered, although her face was full of wrinkles, but at this moment, she looked quite kind.

"Okay," the man couldn't help it, he stared at Li Yongsheng, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, there is very little water there, only enough for my family of three to drink." ”

"I might make it more," Li Yongsheng tossed the two silver dollars over, "I want to know the place." ”

As soon as the man stretched out his hand, he borrowed two silver dollars, and his movements were quite agile, but he still had to make sure of one thing, "If you move indiscriminately and destroy this water source, you will have to compensate me...... My mother couldn't drink muddy water. ”

"No problem," Li Yongsheng grinned, picked up a waist card and shook it, "I'm a student of Chaoyang Repair Hall, so I won't lie to you." ”

For more than 200 years since the establishment of the Chaoyang Seminary, it has been the top seminary in Middle-earth, so to speak, some of the mountain people who are closed off may not know who the current emperor is, but they definitely know the Chaoyang Seminar.

"Alright then," the man also said simply, handing the two silver dollars to the old lady, and digging out a rhizome of an unknown plant in the ground, "Go now?"

"Let's go quickly," Li Yongsheng looked up at the sky, "or it will be hot when he comes back." ”

The man put the rhizome to his mouth, bit it hard, and walked away.

This person is not very talkative, especially now that it is so dry, and the more he talks, the drier his mouth becomes.

It wasn't until Li Yongsheng handed him a small gourd of water that he began to explain.

He was originally a yeoman farmer, and he also made a cameo appearance as a hunter in his spare time, but when the drought came, his family's crops were lost, and he couldn't even drink a sip of water, so he could only drag his family to Tongyi Town.

However, the water in Tongyi Town is also tight, the well water is getting muddy and muddy, and the water sent from other places is not particularly clean.

His mother has a physical problem and can't drink turbid water, but if she wants to drink pure water, it will be too expensive.

But no matter how expensive it is...... Unless he doesn't want his wife, he doesn't want it.

So he could only run into the mountains and hunt some prey in exchange for silver money to buy water for his wife.

Once, when he was chasing a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow, he accidentally broke into a cave and found water dripping from the cave wall.

When he found the cave, there were a lot of insects in the cave, but he was an Orion, and he had experience in dealing with this, so he picked some herbs and sprinkled them outside the cave to isolate them.

The droplets of water dripping were very clear, and the old lady didn't react abnormally when she drank it, but the water dripped quite slowly, and it was only a small clay pot day and night, seven or eight catties.

So he brought the old lady into the mountain again, there was no way, if he went out of the mountain with clear water, it would be too dazzling.

He drank this water with his wife, and was a little rich, so he brought a child with him, but then he basically could not eat food, but could only gnaw on the tubers of plants.

He didn't believe in the earth master very much, because he had come to the earth master twice a while ago, and he dug indiscriminately and didn't find water at all.

In fact, this is normal, most of the wells that can produce water have already dried up, and the wells drilled by the geomaster may produce water in previous years, but this year it really can't produce water.

He doesn't know the art of Kanyu, but ordinary people also have some simple cognition, for example, he believes that if he messes with the cave, it is likely that the little water will not come out.

Once he can't get water, the cost of serving his mother will increase greatly, so he will block the news.

As for fetching water in the middle of the night, it is really too normal, not only is it rarely discovered, but it also goes back and forth at night...... It's cool and reduces water loss.

The mountain road is not close for ten miles, but the man's skills are very vigorous, and he can see clearly during the day, and the two of them took half an hour to come to the mouth of the cave.

This is not so much a cave as a small pit, the entrance of the cave is covered by a large vine, carefully lift the vine to enter, the depth is less than two zhang, the width is three feet, and the height of one person is more than one person.

Near the mountain wall, there is an upside-down stalagmite with water dripping from it and a clay pot underneath.

Li Yongsheng stepped forward to take a look and found that the dripping droplets were just shallowly covering the bottom of the jar.

"Don't break this stone," the man warned him, "if the veins of water are broken, don't blame me for being rude." ”

"Can this also be called a water vein?" Li Yongsheng snorted disdainfully, and then walked out of the cave, looking up and down, left and right, at the surrounding terrain.

The more he looked, the more bewildered he became, and he had to pull out the iron rod, smash it from east to west, pry it from west to west, and then crush the crumbs in his hand -- there should be no water here.

Needless, he expanded the scope of exploration, and the water here is really a bit weird.

This is the above-ground part, and it is unlikely that this phenomenon will occur whether the rock is an aquifer or an aquifer.

Maybe...... Is there really a tiny vein of water? If that's called a vein of water.

Seeing his appearance, the man wanted to say a few words to him, but he couldn't open his mouth when he thought that he had already obtained two silver dollars.

Li Yongsheng was active until the beginning of the afternoon, when the sun was too poisonous, so he hid in the cave, "It's so cool here." ”

"It's always cool here, and it's cool at night," the man replied with a smile, "the cave...... Isn't it cool?"

"Huh, wait," Li Yongsheng finally found a new clue, and as soon as he raised his hand, he took off the clay pot and reached under the stalagmite.

A drop of water rolled off the stalagmite and fell into the palm of his hand.

"Tsk, happy," Li Yongsheng closed his eyes and let out a long breath, only feeling indescribably comfortable in his whole body, "It's really good water." ”

"It's a little too cold," the man said with a smile, "If you drink it directly, it will hurt your body, and I will take it back and put it away and drink it again." ”

"I think, I know what's going on," Li Yongsheng smiled, took out another ten silver dollars, and spread them in the palm of his hand, "This place, I must destroy it, is ten silver dollars enough?"

The man looked at the ten silver dollars, and lost his mind for a while, before swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, "If you can find the water vein, two silver dollars are enough, but my mother's water must be taken from here." ”

"Okay," Li Yongsheng put away the ten silver dollars, "Expand the water source, your mother will give priority, if the water vein is destroyed, I will give you another ten silver dollars!"

He really doesn't care about these ten silver dollars, but he has seen too much of this kind of thing as Dou Mien's revenge, no matter what happens, just offer the right price, the price is high, others may not appreciate it, maybe it will be unpleasant, why bother?

The man obviously regretted it a little, but after thinking about it again, he felt that this condition was not bad, so he nodded, "Okay." ”

At dusk, Li Yongsheng pulled Zhang Muzi here, "What do you think?"

Zhang Muzi watched it for a long time before he asked tentatively, "Could it be ...... Ice Treasures?"

is worthy of being from the Dao Palace, and he can really guess something.

Li Yongsheng nodded, "I don't dare to say that the treasure is there, the Xuanbing Mine, nine times out of ten, there is a good time...... Buried deeper. ”

"Then let's open the mine," Zhang Muzi immediately clapped, "Open the mine, let's take one percent of the harvest." ”

The distribution system of the Dao Palace is very complicated, generally speaking, the four major palaces have their own spheres of influence, but within the sphere of influence, except for the places directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, the output of most places is collected by the local Ten Directions Jungle.

The Ten Directions Jungle will pay tribute to the Upper Palace, but how much to worship depends on the choice of the Ten Directions Jungle.

For example, this place belongs to the Xuannu Palace, but the Ten Directions Jungle can also be enshrined to the Qinglong White Tiger or the Arctic Palace, the Xuannu Palace is not the only choice, giants like the three capitals of the prison can be promoted to any of the upper palaces.

The palace is famous, and the style is positive, so everyone is willing to choose, and if the style is not right, then choose another family.

Taking this place as an example, it was Zhang Muzi of the Arctic Palace who discovered this place, but the Arctic Palace could not be taken for himself.

This is the sphere of influence of the Xuannu Palace, even if the Ten Directions Jungle here may have a good impression of the Arctic Palace, but the Ten Directions Jungle still has the right to choose the object of its worship.

As a discoverer, you can only receive a maximum of one percent of the benefits, and if you want to collect more, you have to rely on the Dao Feng to win.

Even if this matter appears in Shuntian Mansion, it is also a benefit of Yicheng, but it is the territory of the Arctic Palace, and it is easier for them to do the work, and it is expected to collect a little more.

The upper palace and the Shifang Jungle are not a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the Dao Palace is very mysterious, but if you are really in the system, you will know that there are many rules in it.

"Why do you want to open a mine?" Li Yongsheng shook his head, "No matter how good the treasure is, it is worth the life and death of the people of this town?"

Zhang Muzi looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean by this?"

"Ice treasures can be used to make condensate," Li Yongsheng looked at her and said lightly, "When water vapor is cold, it can gather into water droplets, you should always know this truth." ”

"You mean......" Zhang Muzi groaned and asked hesitantly, "You want to make water out of thin air?"

"That's right," Li Yongsheng nodded, "Since the problem of refrigerant has been solved, not only can water be generated, but with the addition of formation methods and spirit stones, it can also be recycled to create water." ”

Zhang Muzi became more and more stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "How much water can be made in this way?"

"There should be no problem for the people of this town to drink," Li Yongsheng replied lightly.

Although Bashu County is dry, the air humidity here is not low.

And the ice treasure involved in this cave, although he didn't know what it was, but there was no doubt that he couldn't detect it, and the treasure could also condense the water vapor in the air into water droplets, and the power would not be too bad.

But Zhang Muzi was entangled, she frowned and thought for a long time, "If you don't take treasures, you will provide Li Shu with drinking water, which is really a little unwilling." ”

Li Yongsheng looked at her angrily, "This is merit, no matter how many treasures there are, can it be compared to merit?"

He almost said that the lame real person can be led to the upper realm because of enough merit.

Even if it is spirituality, it is not just about cultivating for the sake of recklessness, but also about merit and state of mind.
