Gong Jun is too good at teasing

After a whole night of in-depth communication with Xuanzhen, the hostility in Lu Yan's heart finally dissipated.He was in a good mood, and came to the back of the palace to watch the clansmen dig the fields and plant algae.

The algae is still kept secret to the outside world, but it has spread among the clan.After Lu Yan issued the order to expand the planting, more and more people came to help grow algae.Many string fields were reclaimed around the small pond, and the drinking water of the residents was also diverted to flow into a large pool made of stones, waiting to rebuild the city and repair the special waterway for water and sewage, and then introduce the water source.

The nine-tailed cats were working so hard that no one noticed that Lu Yan was standing not far away watching them.In order to dig the algae field quickly, Huang Baihua's missing teeth turned into a giant cat, jumped into the foundation pit, and scraped the soil with her claws, causing the surrounding earth and rocks to splash.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yan walked over and saw that his posture was particularly like squatting on cat litter.

Missing Tooth was startled when he heard Lu Yan's voice at first, and the claws were too hard, and the raised soil directly sprinkled on the top of his head.He shook his head, jumped onto the foundation pit and replied, "Your Majesty, this soil is especially suitable for growing algae, but there are a lot of rocks, so it's not easy to dig with a hoe." He looked at Lu Yan with his head up, his face full of "quick!" Compliment me" message.

Seeing his stupidity, Lu Yan had no choice but to reach out and pat his head, and asked, "Don't we have a shovel? If you dig like this, won't the tips of your claws get bald?"

The missing tooth raised its claws and looked: ...

The others couldn't help laughing when they saw the tips of his bald paws.Someone asked Lu Yan: "Your Majesty, what is a shovel?"

Lu Yan thought for a while, they seemed to be using hoes to dig the fields last time, and there was really no shovel among the nine-tailed cat's agricultural tools.When the foundation pit was dug last time, the soil and rocks were pulled out by the soldiers with their hands.

Lu Yan secretly scolded himself for being careless, and told them not to dig. He went to Elder Mufeng to see if the blacksmith workshop was done well. He could ask them to make a batch of agricultural tools first.

The blacksmith workshop was built not far from the lake, with a gray exterior wall, an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, and a half-room apartment.In the corner stands a stove in the shape of a big pear. There is no raging fire, but it can burn red soft iron.

"What's in the stove?" Lu Yan walked to Elder Mufeng and asked, pointing to the flaming red stone the size of an ostrich egg in the stove.

"Your Majesty, that is the center stone."

"This is the Earth's Center Stone?" Lu Yan searched his memory, the original owner knew about this thing, but he didn't know what it looked like. "Isn't this for the old people to spend the winter?"

In winter, the elders of the family will bury the earth core stone under the stone house to heat the house.In summer, especially during the rainy season, they would wrap the earth core stones in mud and store them with food to keep them dry.

"The earth core stone has many uses. In addition to making iron, it can also be used for alchemy. But later, the Zhongrong people advocated the use of palm fire, and the earth core stone faded out of people's sight."

Lu Yan nodded, and asked again: "Have you made steel bars yet?"

Elder Mufeng pointed to the two old blacksmiths, who were holding the red soft iron with large tongs to draw wire. The red hot soft iron was like a lump of malt sugar just out of the pot, allowing them to stretch and rotate to flatten.

Elder Mufeng: "It's a coincidence, Your Majesty, they just found a way to make spiral steel bars."

At this time, the two blacksmiths also found Lu Yan, and they happily demonstrated to him how to quench the steel to make the steel stronger.

With a thud, the old blacksmith dipped the processed steel bar into the large pool beside it.After the white smoke passed, the old blacksmith took out the steel bars and showed it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took the two-finger-thick black and gold metal stick, and it was still slightly hot. The spiral pattern cushioned the force. Lu Yan tried his best, but he couldn't bend the metal stick. "Very good." Lu Yan praised After a few words, they told them about the iron shovel, and then took Elder Mufeng to test whether the steel bars could withstand magic attacks.

The test results are very good, whether it is Lu Yan using electricity to split the fire, or Elder Mu Feng using wind blades to chop, the fine gold iron and steel bars are not broken, only slightly bent.

Lu Yan: "If there is enough fine gold and iron, we can pour the foundation more densely, plant a steel bar every one foot, and add it horizontally when pouring the outer wall. In this way, the inside of the wall is a net. shape, the strength it can withstand is even greater.”

Elder Mufeng nodded immediately, and he praised: "This is what His Majesty said about the iron wall. Although the wall has not been built yet, I can imagine how strong the wall will be."

Lu Yan shook his head: "Not yet, after the wall is built, draw formations on it. In order to save the source of the five elements, I plan to make some organs. When the organs are closed, the formations will be activated. When not needed, you can Take the organ down."

It sounded even more powerful, Elder Mufeng looked at Lu Yan very earnestly, "Then let's try again after the city wall is built and the formation is drawn."

"Okay, you go ahead, I'm going back. By the way, the shovel is ready and sent directly to the algae field."

"OK, all right."

Lu Yan looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and he was going to find Xuan Xiaozhen to have lunch together, but he didn't know if he was awake or not.Last night, Xuanzhen, who looked like an adult, cried when he was excited, he just cried, and he glared at people with his crimson eyes, causing him to lose control for a while and make people faint.

In order to coax Xuan Xiaozhen to be happy and not to abuse him for a while, Lu Yan picked a handful of wild flowers from the lakeside and a pheasant by the way, planning to make a lotus leaf chicken for him.

Elder Sanhua saw that he was hiding in the small kitchen and couldn't come out. He was curious about what he was doing. As soon as he entered the kitchen door, he smelled lotus leaves mixed with chicken. "Xiaoyan, what are you doing? It smells so good!"

In the past, His Majesty the Holy King didn't cook. To cover up, Lu Yan said in a faltering way: "Aunt Sanhua, I'm making lotus leaf chicken. I saw human beings eat it in Dongyi. This chicken is oily but not greasy, mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves." , looks delicious. I thought, we have so much algae, and brought back so many chickens and ducks from Dongyi, so I will try to make a lotus leaf algae chicken to taste the taste. If it succeeds, the next adult gathering , we will have another kind of goods to sell."

Elder Sanhua was easy to turn around, she nodded and said, "You need to be more careful. You claim that the jade dew is stuffed with fish roe. If there is spiritual energy in the chicken and there is no fish roe, it will be easy for people to find out."

The algae caviar last time was fortunately marinated with algae that was beaten into pulp. When the two are mixed together, no one can tell whether it is the caviar or the algae that has the aura.

"Well, I know." Lu Yan saw that Elder Sanhua hadn't left yet, and seemed to want to taste the chicken with him when it was out of the pot.

He made this chicken specially for Xuan Xiaozhen, so it would be embarrassing to say so.

Lu Yan blinked, thought of a bad idea, and asked Elder Sanhua: "Aunt Sanhua, where is the human I brought back yesterday?"

"He has been hiding in the house and can't come out. He must have been frightened."

"Oh, then you can help me train him, starting from lunch today. Although we don't lack food now, we can't raise such a big living person for nothing."

Elder Sanhua agreed, "Xiao Yan, you are right, I will arrange work for him right away, and let him get his meals after finishing the work."

"Okay, then trouble Aunt Sanhua." Lu Yan hooked his lips, not feeling sorry for Qian Yuanjing at all.

Back in the bedroom, Xuanzhen has already woken up, his black robe today looks thicker than usual.Lu Yan hugged the flowers and carried the lotus-leaf chicken, and stood at the door to see if he was angry.

Xuan Zhen put down the medicine book in his hand, looked at him sideways, and asked strangely: "Your Majesty, what are you doing with weeds?"

Lu Yan looked down at the wild flowers in his hands: ...

"It's nothing." Lu Yan threw the wild flowers by the door, and walked over with the lotus leaf chicken, "Are you hungry, come and eat the chicken." When Lu Yan opened the lotus leaf on the lotus leaf chicken, the fragrance of the lotus leaf mixed with the chicken Float away in an instant.

Xuanzhen sniffed, watching the lotus leaf chicken and weeping silently.

"Oh, why are you crying? I made you a chicken, and you're so moved?" Lu Yan hurriedly wiped his hands, and hugged him to coax him. "What's the matter? Don't cry, tell me something, don't feel sad."

"My mother likes to eat lotus leaf chicken the most. She often bought it for me when I was a child. She told me that when she met my father, he held a lotus leaf chicken in his hand..." Xuanzhen started to talk about himself with sobs story.

Xuanzhen's mother went down the mountain to practice more than 200 years ago, and met his father Song Qing. Nine-tailed cats are naturally fond of humans, but Xuanzhen's father, Song Qing, cheated his mother with a lotus leaf chicken and gave it back to his mother. He named him Xuan Rongrong.

Xuanzhen's father is from Zhongrong, a well-known family, their family pays attention to being well-matched, not to mention that his mother is a sky demon, they use the excuse of being a monster to go the other way, to prevent Xuanzhen's father and mother from being together.Later, in order to separate Xuanzhen's parents, they tricked Song Qing away, framed Xuan Rongrong for stealing the elixir of the clan, and sent people to hunt and kill her without listening to any explanation.

Xuan Zhenniang finally escaped from Baishen Mountain and hid in Dongyi Continent, when she found out that she was pregnant.Because she is a mixed blood of a human and a demon, and her fetal phase is unstable, she almost failed to keep the child when she was avoiding hunting, so she had to hide her name in the countryside to raise her baby.

This hiding was held until Xuanzhen was born, and just as Xuan Rongrong was about to take Xuanzhen to find his father, Xuanzhen suddenly fell ill again.In order to take care of him, Xuan Rongrong had no choice but to drag someone to bring a letter to Song Qing, but the person she dragged was not reliable, so she never handed the letter to Song Qing face to face.Xuan Rongrong didn't wait for Song Qing to come, but the Song family pursued them instead.

"My mother took me to escape, and my illness worsened during the escape. In order to save me, my mother took me all over Dongyi, which took more than three years. During this period, my mother bought me lotus leaf chicken, saying that this chicken is the most delicious thing in the world. In fact, she just missed my father. When my illness finally improved, my mother secretly took me to see my father, but just in time for me Dad married someone else."

Xuan Zhen leaned into Lu Yan's arms and sniffed lightly, then said: "My mother was crying so sad! She just watched my father lead the girl on the other end of the red silk, step by step up to the gate of the Song family Maybe my father also sensed my mother’s sadness. Before entering the gate, he suddenly looked back and recognized my mother at a glance. He ran over excitedly and took my mother to ask her where she was. He said He has been looking for my mother for a long time."

"My mother cried and asked him: 'Are you going to marry someone else?' Then my father began to explain, stupid, saying that he couldn't find my mother, so he agreed to marry someone else in frustration. He also said Now that I have found my mother, I won't marry that woman. But they all forgot about the Song family behind them, and his bride who didn't come in."

"My father and mother were surrounded by the Song family. In order to save my father, my mother blocked the sword stabbed by the bride....My mother finally took my hand and handed me over to my father ...Afterwards, I was arrested by them, and they forced my father to continue worshiping with that bride. My father is a spiritual practitioner, and he was too weak to resist. Later, my father came to visit me secretly and brought me the same Lotus Leaf Chicken."

Seeing him cry, Lu Yan felt distressed, and kept wiping his tears with his big warm hands. "Looking at the lotus leaf chicken is sad, let's not eat it."

But Xuanzhen shook his head violently, stretched out his hand to tear off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, he choked up and said: "I want to eat it, I don't feel sad when I look at the lotus leaf chicken, because it proves that my parents love each other!"

Lu Yan was moved, and he lowered his head and kissed his glib mouth directly.
