About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

Yang Yuyao took out the locations he selected that were suitable one by one and asked He Qianqing and Zhu Molan to serve as consultants. After successively deleting a few more locations, there were still seven locations left that needed to be inspected on the spot. Yang Yuyao felt that it was not appropriate to let Zhu Molan and the others accompany them all the time. It would take at least more than a day to inspect all the remaining seven locations. If they kept following, Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang would not be able to practice well. So Yang Yuyao persuaded them to find a place to stay temporarily and to contact them via Xunlian if they needed anything.

After all, it was impossible and unnecessary for Yang Yuyao to rush so slowly that he didn't even rest at night just to inspect the location. Zhu Molan and the others have chosen a place to stay temporarily, and he can go there to rest at night.

Although Li Fengzhi was somewhat reluctant, Yang Yuyao's reasons successfully convinced them. After leaving the homework for Li Fengzhi, He Qianqing took Yang Yuyao and set off again to one of the selected locations.

The first place they wanted to go was a location in the west of Xia Kingdom. Since this location was too close to the border of Xia Kingdom, Yang Yuyao thought that he might give priority to eliminating it. But the terrain at that location was great, so Yang Yuyao thought it was better to take a look at the conditions around that location before making a decision.

Generally speaking, the location of the national boundary has little impact on the monks. There are many sects located along the national boundary. The location of Qingfeng Sect is extremely close to the border between Xia Kingdom and Bianliang Kingdom, so Yang Yuyao left Qingfeng Empress Zong drove a carriage from Zhaosi Town and arrived at the territory of Bianliang Kingdom not long after walking. The Star Sect is directly on the national border between the two countries, and its jurisdiction covers half of the two countries.

The monks dared to build sects like this because even if the border conflicts between countries have been going on for hundreds of years, in order not to offend the sect monks and avoid being beaten by both sides, each country will have a tacit understanding to set the battlefield far away from the sect. door place. The same applies to places where there are cultivating families. Therefore, theoretically speaking, in places where more monks gather and stay for a long time, conflicts among mortals will be actively avoided.

But Yang Yuyao still felt that it would be better to choose a more stable environment. Other monks could confidently believe that mortals would not dare to cause trouble in their territory, but in Yang Yuyao's view, this could not avoid the monks. The territory lies in the subjective choice of both parties.

He thought, what if one party had no moral integrity and wanted to deliberately frame the other party, so he deliberately disguised himself as the other party and went to the monk's territory to cause trouble? When you are irritated, can you really calm down quickly without being taken advantage of? And if you want to anger someone, you will obviously find a way to at least cause pain to the other person, and some losses will inevitably occur. Wouldn't it be better if we could directly avoid this possible loss through site selection?

In Yang Yuyao's opinion, Xia State is one of those countries that is strong enough and therefore relatively stable domestically. Such a country should not experience huge changes in its land area. At least, it shouldn't be like Li Yangguo and Luguo, where the ownership of a city changes every few months. But to be conservative, non-border areas are safer.

Although the more Yang Yuyao thought about it, the more he felt that the place he wanted to go did not meet his needs, but it was not a bad idea to go and have a look, just to learn more about the country's topography. His soul has lived in the Xia Kingdom for so many years, and this body belongs to the Xia Kingdom. However, even in the past, He Qianqing took him out of the sect and went to other places in the Xia Kingdom for business reasons. Unfortunately, Yang Yu Yao still hasn't recovered these memories. Therefore, for him, this country, which is considered his home country in this world, is very strange to him, and he is becoming more and more curious about this country.

The westernmost part of the Xia Kingdom even borders the Fanxi Kingdom. Judging from the topographic map automatically generated by Xunlian, its altitude is equivalent to the highest altitude of the Fanxi Kingdom. Such a place is obviously not suitable for people to work for a long time, so Yang Yuyao will not consider that area. The location he chose was further south, near Yuguo.

Although the altitude of this area is higher than other places in Xia Kingdom, it is still a suitable place for people to live. At least it is not the kind of place where living is difficult. Yang Yuyao would not consider places where the environment is too harsh. Although most of the people his factory will hire in the future will be monks, their physical fitness is stronger than that of mortals, allowing monks to adapt to places where many mortals find it difficult to survive. But it should still be uncomfortable.

Yang Yuyao is not building a prison. If he wants employees to work efficiently, a comfortable environment is essential. Even if you want to be a capitalist, you have to be willing to be slaughtered. Why should employees who are full of resentment choose this place? How can they work well?

"The trees in this area are so huge and so tall." Seeing those towering trees pointing straight into the sky, Yang Yuyao couldn't help but sigh. Such a scene reminded him of the rain forests he had seen in documentaries, but According to the climate here, if this is a rain forest, it seems to be a subtropical rain forest.

"Yes, the best timber in the Xia Kingdom is produced in this area. The Xia Kingdom's court will send people to guard this area and prohibit arbitrary cutting." He Qianqing responded.

"No wonder it's hard to see people living in this area." Yang Yuyao nodded in understanding. Timber is an important strategic material, and it is common for the imperial court to send people to control it. In this world, even if there is no concept of environmental protection, in order to ensure that there is enough wood to be used when needed, most countries prohibit civilians from cutting down trees in the mountain forests at will. . People can go into the mountains to pick up broken branches, but the trunk and main branches of the tree cannot be moved.

Of course, due to limitations of monitoring technology, there will still be situations where trees are cut down secretly but cannot be detected. But if the feller is a mortal, once discovered, the worst case scenario will be execution. Since the punishment is extremely severe, normal people will not take the risk to do this.

If people need to use wood, there are usually two ways to obtain it. One is from trees planted in their own yards and fields. These trees need to be reported to the government before they can be cut down by themselves or by others. The reason for reporting is to prevent people from going to the mountains and forests to cut down trees secretly and then bring them out and try to get away with it in this name. And the trees growing in these places can be freely traded. For example, if Zhang San's family needs to build a house and there is not enough wood, if Li Si's family has many trees, they can buy them from Li Si's family. After reporting to the government, they can cut them down and take them away. Such a transaction is quite profitable. Therefore, people in this world have planted trees to buy them for a long time, and many fast-growing tree species have been selected and bred.

Another way for people to obtain wood is that the imperial court will regularly open several mountain forests for felling. Those forests that can be felled will have people sent by the court to cut down the wood and then transport it out for sale. Compared with the wood produced by the trees planted by the people themselves, , these woods from the mountains are of better quality, but are expensive. If poor people build a house, they will only use the wood from the mountains and forests for the most important parts. But if you are not short of money and are willing to pay a high tax, you can also go up the mountain to select those valuable tree species that grow well and reserve them in advance.

When Yang Yuyao first learned about this kind of policy in this world, he felt pretty good. Of course, this policy was very unfriendly to the poor. In addition, Yang Yuyao also felt that if such a policy was to be implemented properly, a large number of people would be needed. Patrol supervision. But at present, it seems that all countries are implementing it quite well. Yang Yuyao thought that perhaps it was because transportation costs were too high that it was uneconomical to purchase timber resources from other countries, so countries were so concerned about protecting their own timber resources that they were able to retain so many green mountains and forests.

"Master." Yang Yuyao put his head behind He Qianqing and shouted softly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" He Qianqing turned around slightly and asked.

"Master, why don't you wear the jade pendant around your waist?" Yang Yuyao asked curiously.

"Because it's broken." He Qianqing replied with a complicated smile.

"Broken? Master, have you encountered any fatal crisis during this period?" Yang Yuyao showed a slightly worried look. He remembered that even when He Qianqing broke through the joint siege of the ghost clan and the sea clan in Ningcheng, he sneaked into When he fought with the dragon man in the sea and rescued him, the jade pendant was still intact. What kind of crisis would cause that jade pendant to break?

"It's not that I encountered a fatal crisis as a teacher." He Qianqing hovered the flying sword in the air, turned around and touched Yang Yuyao's soft cheek, looking at him with some sadness. "In that jade pendant, I have sealed a trace of your soul power. It was put in after you left Qingfeng Sect and I found you again. I thought it would help me even if you encountered fatal danger. Even if you die, I can preserve your soul and save you."

He Qianqing was confident that he could protect the person he loved most, but his boy died in front of him in order not to hurt him or hurt innocent people, even though... the jade pendant that broke into pieces seemed to be mocking him. Incompetent, very conspicuous.

"I originally thought that Master, you were tired of wearing it and no longer wanted to wear it." Yang Yuyao was a little embarrassed, but he had never noticed that the jade pendant was actually equivalent to his life card. Logically speaking, he should know. Although extracting the soul power does not cause any harm to the monks, even if the soul power is taken out and sealed, the monks can still sense the location of their own soul power. Well, maybe he has never thought about it.

"Master, do you still want to wear the jade pendant? Master, I saw that you didn't wear it, so I asked the clone puppet to find a very exquisite workmanship ball for you." Yang Yuyao tugged on the jade pendant in his hand, a little I don't know if I should hand it over.

"Ghost ball?" He Qianqing was a little confused. He Qianqing didn't understand until Yang Yuyao opened his palm and revealed the spherical jade pendant in his hand. "It turns out to be the Wanxiang Ball."

"Hmm... the store that sells this seems to be called that too." Yang Yuyao said. He Qianqing picked up the jade pendant that had been knotted from Yang Yuyao's hand and brought it to his eyes to look at it carefully.

This is a spherical jade pendant the size of an egg. It is carefully carved from fine white jade. Its craftsmanship is very similar to an ivory carving technique called Guigongqiu in the world where Yang Yuyao lived. Like the ghost ball, this small white jade ball is divided into several thin layers from the inside to the outside. Each inner layer can be rotated, which is very interesting. But unlike the ghost ball, perhaps because the person who carved it was a monk, in addition to the outermost layer of this white jade ball using bas-relief and openwork techniques to carve patterns such as auspicious clouds, flying birds and dragons, the inner layers are also the same. Specific patterns were also carved using openwork.

The second and third layers of the Vientiane Ball are carved with patterns of flowers, plants and animals, while the fourth and fifth layers have fish, shrimps, crabs and other aquatic creatures of various shapes. And the patterns are different when each layer is rotated to different positions. Yang Yuyao didn't know if the carving masters in the original world could make the Guigong Ball like this. In his impression, the Guigong Ball didn't seem to have specific patterns carved on the layers inside. After all, it is not a monk who can use spiritual power and divine consciousness to perceive, so the inner layer cannot be seen at all and can only be felt. I wonder if modern equipment such as medical endoscopes can be used to further achieve this level?

"Xiao Yao, are you going to give it to your teacher?" He Qianqing looked at Yang Yuyao and asked for confirmation.

"Yes, Master, if you are willing to accept and wear it, I will give this to you." Seeing that He Qianqing's expression was no longer so sad, Yang Yuyao's tense nerves relaxed.

"Thank you. I like it very much, my teacher." He Qianqing lowered his head and kissed Yang Yuyao's forehead. Suzaku, who was standing on Yang Yuyao's shoulder, was startled and wanted to stop He Qianqing from such a disrespectful move, but was caught by Yang Yuyao and had to stay in Yang Yuyao's hand.

"Lingguang, don't be like this, I did it voluntarily." After He Qianqing finished kissing and let him go, Yang Yuyao whispered to Suzaku. He gently rubbed the little chubby red bird in his palm, which made Suzaku enjoy it unexpectedly. He stopped struggling, narrowed his eyes and lay down on his hands obediently.

"Ah, why did I..." After coming back to his senses, Suzaku kicked his little paws, flapped his wings and turned over, then flew to Yang Yuyao's shoulder, buried his head in the wings, and shut himself up silently. "Ugh, I came too late... The Immortal God has been tricked into falling by this hateful human race..." Suzaku cried silently in his heart.

He Qianqing tied the Vientiane Ball Jade Pendant given by Yang Yuyao directly to his belt, and then flew forward again. When they crossed the vast forest controlled by the Xia Kingdom, they came to a relatively flat grassland. A place intertwined with the woods, and this is one of the alternative places selected by Yang Yuyao.

"Master, let's land on the ground and take a look." Yang Yuyao requested.

"Okay." He Qianqing responded, and then landed quickly and smoothly.

They landed on the grass, not far away from the edge of the woods. This rarely visited grassland was full of blue flax flowers as bright as the sky, and there were also yellow and purple flowers of other plants. Among them, red flowers are extremely rare. Seeing such a scenery, Yang Yuyao felt that it was better not to choose this place. Although he didn't know what the future would be like, he didn't want to ruin the beautiful scenery here.

"Xiao Yao, do you want to go over to the woods and take a look?" He Qianqing asked.

"Okay." Yang Yuyao agreed decisively. After flying for a long time and walking around, it felt comfortable to stretch his muscles. So He Qianqing put away his sword and walked towards the woods with Yang Yuyao.

Where the woods and grassland first blended, the trees were very sparse. A small amount of sunlight blockage did not affect the lush vegetation under the trees. As they walked deeper into the woods, there were fewer and fewer grasslands and blooming flowers, and they were replaced by It is a more shade-tolerant understory plant. Yang Yuyao even discovered a particularly large Panax notoginseng.

"Well, Xiaoyao, Mu Yuan needs to contact me if he has something to do. I'll chat with him for a while." He Qianqing said after suddenly receiving a Xunlian message from his friend.

"Well, okay, Master, I'll go around by myself first?" Yang Yuyao asked.

"Yes, but don't go too far." He Qianqing reminded.
