Chapter 286 Who is the best in the sand city?

Lushan looked at the tall figure in front of him, feeling uneasy.

Before this, he could not imagine that a foreigner from other divine kingdoms would come to the Bamboo Reed Country specifically to help the bamboo people and reed people improve their cultivation level.

 Knowledge does not lie.

The ambassador from the Yao people, a planting scholar named Yugu, taught the reed people how to make fertilizer, how to maintain soil fertility, how to dig canals, cultivate fields, maintain moisture and eliminate insects.

He not only talked about it, but also personally loosened the soil, applied fertilizer, made fertilizer and observed the growth of a large number of bamboo shoots.

 Lushan knew at a glance that the other party was experienced and absolutely professional.

 After improving the cultivation method according to Yugu's method, the bamboo forest on the mountain entered an unprecedented period of madness.

 Large tracts of bamboo forest are growing wildly, and the rate of bamboo people born in them has greatly increased. The new bamboo people are even stronger, far better than any time in the past.

Even the apostle Takeo-sama made a special trip to express his sincere gratitude to the fish man in the most formal manner.

Mr. Yugu just said: "You're welcome, that's what I came here to do."

"This is the mission given to me by Lord Yao, and it is also my own wish."

“It really makes me feel sad and sad to see that so many fertile and high-quality soils in Zhulu Country are not fully utilized. These soils are natural wealth.”

“You don’t know that the Valley of the Gods where I worked before spent a lot of energy to transform the soil into what it is here... but Bamboo Reed Country naturally has such a huge advantage, which is simply enviable.”

“There are still too few bamboo forests in Zhulu Country, and they are far from reaching their original potential. I want to strive to increase the population here! I want to make everyone live a better life!”

Zhunan felt ashamed after hearing this: "Thank you for your hard work."

Mr. Yugu is such a pure fish man.

 He has a deep love for soil and fertilizers.

 When he has a little free time, Yugu focuses on improving fertilizers. He tasted the taste and toxicity of various plants with his mouth, collected dead leaves, silt and feces, and wanted to find a better formula for fertilizer raw materials.

Lushan saw a dazzling and shining halo in him, which was a noble character that was free from laziness and low-level hobbies, like a leader looking for a way ahead.

Seeing that Yugu was still trying to explore, Lushan kept warning himself.

 Lushan, Lushan, we must not be lazy or degenerate.

 Such a knowledgeable scholar has never stopped, what qualifications do you have to be complacent?

Go forward!

 You have to move forward!

Lu Shan followed Yu Gu silently and unconsciously began to learn and imitate this scholar.

 In this process, he benefited a lot and further realized that there was a huge gap in the planting technology between the Zhulu Kingdom and the world where the Yao people lived.

 He often thinks about how the Yao people live in another distant world.

 Everyone probably has a plantation and they grow all kinds of things. After all, the products of the Yao people far exceed those of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom. The Yao people have a profound understanding of soil, water, weather, and various things that grow in the soil.

 After hearing Lushan’s thoughts, Yugu reluctantly shook his head.

"wrong."

“In the Yao people, land is very precious. Not everyone can own such a luxurious large piece of fertile land like the Lu people, and they can live easily regardless of whether they plant it or not.”

"There are specialized farmers there who are responsible for planting, mainly wheat, potatoes and soybeans. There are also fruit farmers who take care of the orchards and constantly improve the taste of berries and sour raspberries. Of course there are herders who graze cattle, sheep and Pigs, raising pacing birds…”

 This description made Lushan even more fascinated.

 “However, among the Yao people, competition is also quite fierce.”

Yugu seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his face became a little desolate: "Although I don't want to admit it, I am just an ordinary gardener in the garden of the Valley of Gods."

“My good brother Shaq, that’s called talent. There are also Rose Messengers, they are naturally close to nature and flowers and plants, these are incomparable to us.”

Lushan was secretly surprised.

Mr. Yanjiu, the sandwalker of Pillar Mountain, said that his level is average even among the Yao people. Another Sandwalker, Nong Lei, was even more direct, saying that he could no longer survive among the Yao people, so he came here to look for further opportunities for practice.

 Whenever he thinks that any passerby from the Yao tribe is on the level of a Yugu, Lushan feels breathless.

 …

Lushan cut off the chaotic thoughts in his mind and plucked up the courage to step forward: "Mr. Yugu, I would like to ask, is there anything I need to pay attention to when going to the world of the Yao people?"

Yugu, who was stirring the fertilizer, put down his work: "By the way, you are one of the two people sent by Zhulu Kingdom to communicate this time, right? Who is the other one?"

 “It’s a bamboo tiger.”

“Oh, I remember, he’s that very strong guy. Okay, he’s both civilized and martial. It’ll be helpful to you guys if you go and see more of him.”

Yugu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't be nervous. The place you are going to this time is not the Yao world, but Yunzhong Temple, which is the place where Yao martial monks practice. But Shacheng is also said to be based on Yao City and Those built in Yancheng can be regarded as being passed down from the same line.”

 “I want to talk about things to pay attention to…”

He thought for a moment: "It doesn't seem to matter. Lord Yao Shen is still very tolerant to mortals. Read more and learn more."

"By the way, you are going to Shacheng, so help me bring something to my good brother Shaq, and say hello to him for me. Help me see how that guy is doing now."

 …

Lushan stood outside Shacheng, looking at the city in front of him surrounded by tall metal roses, feeling a little weak at his feet.

There are no so-called cities in Zhulu Country, only scattered hills. Each mountain is shared by several bamboo people, and they build bamboo buildings and huts based on the mountain. But there has never been such a concentrated and majestic settlement in front of them.

There is an aura of death in the dry and desolate desert. Thick white clouds linger in the sky, and flower-shaped clouds float from time to time in the clouds. It is said that they are cloud roses, and they are also a strange life cultivated by the Yao people.

Next to it are two long, straight and wide roads. Both sides of the road are paved with white stone piers. From time to time, shuttles drive through the sand, like some kind of large stone snakes, dragging out the yellow sand in the sky behind them. .

“Ahead is Shacheng. You will spend three days here.”

 The guide who leads the way has a body shaped like a hill, and its huge head protrudes from the sand.

This person’s identity is very unusual.

 It is the apostle of Yao and one of the two administrators of this world, Zhike Monk.

Zhike Monk slowly turned his huge head, his wide mouth closed up and down, and the strong wind he exhaled made Lushan almost unsteady, but fortunately Zhuhu caught him.

“Sand City is under the jurisdiction of another apostle, Slimod. Don’t be afraid to trouble him, he is everywhere. Go in and he will guide you.”

Zhike Monk slowly sank into the sand and soon disappeared.

Lushan and Zhuhu looked at each other, and they could see the tension in each other's eyes.

Zhuhu forced his mouth to pout and said, "It's nothing special, it's just a city."

 There was a sneer from the side.

 “It’s just a city? It’s true that the ignorant are fearless.”

 “Brother Du, don’t be like this...”

The speakers were two tall, gray-skinned mourners from the ghost world. In this invitation from Shacheng, the two major divine kingdoms each received two quotas.

Lu Shan only knew that of these two funeral clansmen, the one with the thorn in his words was called Funeral Poison, and the other one who was persuasive was called Funeral Ji.

Zhuhu stared at Xingdu fiercely: "You are deliberately looking for trouble, right?"

“Hey, what do you want?” He said with a smile.

 Lu Shan and Yan Ji quickly persuaded these two fellow tribesmen to stop.

At this moment, a man in green suddenly appeared out of thin air.

He was wearing a bright green coat, holding a cane, tall and tall, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat, the brim of which completely obscured his face.

“Welcome, friends from foreign countries, I am the mayor of this city, Slimod. Please come with me now, I will show you around the city.”

 The four people immediately fell silent.

The person in front of me is also an apostle of Yao God, with a high status.

They were flattered that Yao actually sent two apostles as guides. At the same time, they were even more uneasy because there were actually two apostles in one city... The Yao people were really a powerful ethnic group.

The apostle in green led the way and introduced Shacheng to them easily.

“This city has been established for a short time, so it is relatively simple. But because it is a new city, it has many possibilities and there are not so many rules.”

“Oh, by the way, if you drink some of this [blast furnace mead], you will be able to understand the various languages ​​of the Shacheng people.”

Slimold handed each of them an earthenware jug, and all four drank a little.

“There are ghost lighthouses, rose gardens, mining areas, martial arts arenas and forest areas...where do you want to start?”

 “Ghost lighthouse!”

"rose Garden."

 The envoys from the two sides gave different answers, and neither side gave in.

This is something they were all warned by the apostle before they left the Kingdom of God. Regardless of the external cooperation between the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, the two sides are still secretly at odds with each other regarding their future right to speak and the dignity of both parties.

 Slimod snapped his fingers: "Simple."

His body was divided into two, and he led the two groups of people towards different areas.

The rose garden is behind the temple in Shacheng and is surrounded by a wooden fence. There are roses of different colors growing in a small amount of soil. They are small, short and dry, standing tenaciously.

Lushan met Yugu’s friend, the extraordinary being called Shaq.

 Just like what Yugu said.

—That guy is big. You can see him when you get to the rose garden. He is always in the rose garden.

Shak is a huge sand monster, shaped like a large snake with rough and tough skin. It has no mouth or nose, only a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth shaped like a whirlpool.

However, its abyssal mouth that can tear apart any flesh and blood spurts out fine mist, artificially creating gentle drizzle and bringing moist moisture to the flower fields.

 A fierce and strong monster carefully protected the fragile flowers. This scene was indescribably weird, but it also touched Lushan inexplicably.

 Zhuhu was so nervous that his body was crackling.

"Do you still want to challenge it? It looks so strong...the feeling of oppression is almost the same as Mr. Shiojiu's." Ashishan whispered.

 Zhuhu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

As if to prove his courage, Zhuhu yelled: "I want to challenge you! Mr. Shaq...!"

Sha Wang, who was observing the rose, finally turned his head, and the deep and ferocious mouthparts were pointed here, making both Lushan and Zhuhu shudder.

"You are…"

As if he thought of something, Shaq's mouth opened further, revealing the sharp fangs inside that were like countless blades: "A visitor from the Bamboo Reed Country? I heard what the mayor said."

“By the way, how is Yugu over there? How is he doing?”

 Behind the terrifying and ferocious image, there is a gentle and friendly voice.

 This relieved Lushan’s tension.

He took out a few bamboo shoots wrapped with vines from the bamboo basket behind his back, held them up with both hands, and said with some stuttering: "Mr. Shaq, this is what Mr. Yugu asked me to bring to you. He said you would like it. "

 “Thank you for your hard work...What is this?”

When talking about this, Lushan couldn't help but straighten his chest: "This is a bamboo shoot that is a specialty of Zhulu Country. Bamboo can be grown. Bamboo can not only be used as a material, but can also provide shelter from wind and rain."

  Bamboo shoots that leave the Bamboo Reed Kingdom cannot grow into bamboo people, so this is just a small gift.

Shaq breathed lightly, and the bamboo shoots were blown into the flower bed and planted in the soil.

“Is this the right way to plant it? The tip of the sword should be the bud?”

 Lu Shan nodded: "Yes."

 “It’s a really interesting new plant, I’ve never seen it before.”

 Zhuhu next to him couldn't help but emphasize again: "Mr. Shaq, I want to challenge you!"

 Lushan was helpless.

 Before coming, Zhuhu, the best warrior of the Zhulu Kingdom, wanted to challenge the extraordinary people of the Yao tribe. In the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, Bamboo Tiger is the most powerful warrior second only to the Apostle Master Takeo.

I heard from Yugu that Shaq once had an amazing record of one against a hundred, which made Zhuhu eager to try before he came.

Facing Bamboo Man's challenge, Shaq said: "This... I am a gardener, not a combat member. You have found the wrong person."

 Both Lushan and Zhuhu couldn't help but sneer.

 A gardener who makes a hundred? Is this also called a gardener?

But then they thought about it.

Yu Gu, a master planter, is also a gardener.

The gardener of the Yao people is really a magical profession, able to plant and cultivate.

“There are many extraordinary people in Shacheng who are good at fighting. I used to have better luck.” Shaq said casually.

Zhuhu refused to give up: "Who is the best in the sand city?"

Shaq thought for a while: "The cave-dwelling rocks in the north of the city are small, and the ice and snow giants in the south of the city are ice fists. They are both good at beating them. You can try it."

 Zhuhu raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

 He said to Lushan: "Wait for my good news."

 That night, Lushan waited for a long time, but did not wait for Zhuhu to come back.

Lu Shan searched around and finally found him at the corner of the city wall of Shacheng.

Zhuhu sat in the corner holding his knees, his eyes dull.

 After a long time, he said: "I want to go home."

Lushan didn't know what he encountered, so he could only pat Zhuren's strong shoulder: "Mr. Yanjiu also said that there are strong men everywhere in the Yao tribe, and he is just an ordinary member."

 He looked beyond the low wall. The brass-like sand roses shone golden and shone in the moonlight.

 The whole city lights up like a forest of iron and sand filled with fireflies.

 There is another kind of beauty here.
