Chapter 457
Riding a horse and running through the green mountains and forests is completely different from flying in the clouds on a skyboat.
What comes oncoming is the gentle wind full of earth and vegetation in the mountains and forests, and the trees of different heights are swept back by the side.
The Jiaoma started to run, still in a rampage posture.
The trees blocking the front snapped and cracked, and the thick trunks seemed to be made of paper, and they would shatter with a light bump.
The terrain is undulating, alternately rocky and muddy.
All this is transmitted to the wooden platform on the horse's back through the vibration of the Jiaoma running.
And these vibrations were also conveyed to Zheng Qiu, as if he was running and jumping himself.
On the green carpet of the earth, the huge horse plowed a long trail like a cattle, leading straight to the distance.
Of course, not every tree can be bumped by the big stupid horse. During the few days of the journey, it has bumped into four standing trees.
Three of them were quite resilient, and the big stupid horse bumped into them and was pushed back by the force of the rebound.
The remaining one is as solid as a rock, like a steel pillar inserted into the ground.
The big stupid horse was knocked into a daze, lying on the ground panting for a long time before recovering.
Zheng Qiu was naturally interested in such an extremely hard tree, so while the big stupid horse was recovering, he walked around the tree to inspect it carefully.
Although he didn't know this big tree, he had heard of such things when he was in the Great Desolation City.
The Yongwu Workshop in the lonely city of the Great Wilderness sells and customizes various weapons. The boss of the Yongwu Workshop has a good relationship with Zheng Qiu, and he introduced it during the conversation.
There are some trees on the Yunxiu Continent, which are extremely hard, comparable to fine steel.
Some of the extremely rare types are even harder than ordinary weapons, reaching the level of magical weapons.
The trunks, branches, leaves, and bark of these trees are excellent materials for making various weapons and clothes, and the prices are high.
Cultivators who practice specific skills will use pure wooden weapons. This kind of hard wood is more attractive to them than magical weapons.
Zheng Qiu performed the "True Jue of Grass and Trees", intending to use the technique of controlling grass and trees to break off the tree and take it away.
Perhaps because the texture was too hard, the control effect of "True of Vegetables and Trees" was not very good. After tossing for a while, he finally broke off a section of branch that was as thick as a little finger.
But seeing such a good thing, how could Zheng Qiu give up.
Since the cultivation method can't control this big tree, then remove all the soil by yourself and take the whole tree with you to the head office.
Just do it!
He rolled up his sleeves and performed the "Twenty-Eight Methods of Obedience to Stone", digging up the soil and stones on the ground, and throwing them far away.
The dense roots of the big tree are gradually exposed. The color of the roots is close to that of the trunk, and they are a little black, as if someone has painted it with black ink.
The shape of the roots is also similar to the trunk on the ground, straight and upright.
It seems to be a steel drill inserted straight into the earth, and it is especially like two fir trees spliced together.
The big tree was dug out by Zheng Qiu. The trunk and roots were nearly nine feet long.
It stands to reason that such a hard tree should be very heavy.
Strangely enough, however, the tree was so light that it seemed to be made of cotton.
Zheng Qiu circulated the energy of his whole body, as long as he used the strength at the early stage of the Qi Brilliance Realm, he could easily lift it up.
He put the big tree on the back of the dragon horse, fixed the trunk and the wooden platform firmly with rattan, and then continued to set off for Fengshou Town.
Harvest Town is located in the center of a plain.
Although the plain is not big, it has a radius of nearly ten thousand feet. There are many mountains on the Yunxiu Continent. A plain like this is a rare treasure.
On the plain, there are three big rivers passing through in sequence.
The edge of the big river is densely covered with canals of different widths, like the blood vessels of the earth, leading the river water to all directions.
Wherever the canal goes, the green rice fields are neatly arranged, looking like green checkered cloth from the sky.
The place where three big rivers meet and blend forms a shimmering lake.
There are fishing boats floating on the lake, and fishermen are lined up on the shore of the lake, and the fishing nets with water droplets are hanging, reflecting the light of stars in the sun.
The land is fertile, the rain is plentiful, and there are grains and livestock, as well as delicious food from lakes and rivers. This land of fish and rice is an excellent place for ordinary people to settle down.
Therefore, the population of Harvest Town is very large.
Excluding the practitioners who came and went, the number of people who lived here for a long time alone exceeded 50,000.
Instead of calling it a town, it should actually be called Harvest City.
There are more ordinary people, and naturally there are more practitioners than other places.
On the hundreds of mountains near Fengshou Town, there are various sects scattered all over the place, with the largest number of nearly two hundred and the smallest number of only a few dozen.
You must know that the resources needed by cultivators are different from those of ordinary people.
Practitioners need treasures, a wide space to practice, and various ores, medicinal materials, and rich power of heaven and earth.
However, Fengshou Town is not rich in treasures, ores, and medicinal materials, but there are a lot of food and drink.
So with so many sects crowded here, of course there will be insufficient resources, so there are constant frictions between the various sects and sects, and there are ping-pong-pong fights every three days.
For hundreds of years, aspiring sects have moved away one after another to take root in places rich in cultivation resources.
There are only a lot of sesame-like small miscellaneous fish left, which are spent here without any pursuit, making a fuss about trivial matters every day.
Zheng Qiu rode a big stupid horse over mountains and ridges, spent twelve days, and finally came to the outskirts of Fengshou Town.
In fact, Zheng Qiu can't be regarded as riding a horse, because the Jiaoma is too big, and he just sits on the wooden platform on the horse's back.
Zheng Qiu has not been idle for the past few days. After digging out the extremely hard tree, he has been thinking about how to use it.
In the end, he made up his mind to use "Cao Mu Zhen Jue" to break off a two-finger-wide branch, and through water grinding, the branch was processed into a shape bit by bit.
In the end, the branch turned into a wooden sword.
The sword is two feet and four inches long, the blade is only one and a half fingers wide, and its thickness is close to half a finger.
It is a light and narrow one-handed rapier.
According to the store owners of the Great Wilderness and Gucheng, this style of sword is called the finger-wrapping rapier, also known as the finger-wrapping soft, and it is generally used by female practitioners.
When attacking, due to the weak chopping power, stabbing and picking techniques are often used.
In fact, Zheng Qiu wants to get a wooden machete. He doesn't know swordsmanship, and he doesn't know how to use weapons. A weapon that doesn't require skills like a machete is the most suitable.
But this tree is too hard, Zheng Qiu can't get thick branches, and naturally he can't make a machete.
Knocking the thin wooden sword on the table, Zheng Qiu pulled out a cane and tied it to his belt.
As the big stupid horse climbed to the top of the hill, a wide plain appeared in Zheng Qiu's field of vision.
Looking at the lush farmland, the three-character place name, Fengshou Town, appeared in his mind without anyone's introduction.
