Chapter 3 The First Batch of Tools
However, apart from planting trees every day and trying to contact the gods in heaven who never responded, Li Yuan felt that he should find something else to do.
He is the mountain god of Anshan. No matter what happens in Anshan, he can vaguely sense it.
Survival of the fittest, the strong prey on the weak, this should be the law of nature.
Can……
Anshan is so dilapidated and desolate that even the mountain god is planting trees himself to save it, and yet you are still stuck in your inward struggle?
The mountain god does not agree!
In order to implement the red spirit of pacifism, Li Yuan decided to teach and educate people, starting with small animals.
If he wants to restore the beauty of Anshan, he can't just work on it alone, otherwise it will take a long time.
Since all things in this mountain are born here, we have the responsibility to contribute our part to restoring the vitality of our hometown!
Without the big family, there would be no small family!
With this idea in mind, three days later, Li Yuan convened the first "Anshan Conference" on the top of Anshan Mountain.
The creatures that came to participate in the conference are all the most "powerful" beings in Anshan at present.
There is an unnamed old tree on the top of the mountain, some grass under the tree, a stunted gray rabbit, three skinny mice, two mixed-haired chickens, a skinny wild dog, and a half-meter-long small green snake.
In fact, the blue-spotted snake and wild dog were caught by Li Yuan himself.
He followed the blue-and-white snake and the wild dog every day, and after three days of persistence, he finally dragged the reluctant wild dog and blue-and-white snake to the top of Anshan Mountain.
If it weren't for the instinctive fear of Li Yuan's presence, this highly poisonous blue and white snake would have bitten back and escaped long ago.
"Cough cough!"
"Everyone, pay attention! The mountain god is about to speak!"
Li Yuan pretended to cough a few times, looking very impressive.
"Hey, hey? Stop right there, Blue Snake! Those three mice are not for you!"
"Stop it, stupid dog! Stop chasing my little rabbit!"
"Fuck! Don't pee on my tree brother!"
"Where do you want to go, you damned rats? This is outrageous! Stop it, don't destroy my grass, it can't hide you!"
"What? Brother, you are actually thanking the stupid dog for the food? I TM..."
The two pheasants lowered their heads dully: peck, peck, peck…
After a lot of commotion, Li Yuan finally managed to stabilize the blue snake and the wild dog and prevent them from moving around, and then he began his short speech.
"I am the new god of Anshan Mountain, Li Yuan!"
"Here, I command you!"
Li Yuan's eyes changed, and a faint light burst out from his body, and the whole person suddenly looked extremely mysterious.
The originally restless little animals suddenly calmed down and looked at Li Yuan with a hint of awe in their eyes.
The blue and white snake coiled up with its head flat on the ground; the wild dog lay prone on the ground with its tongue hanging out; the gray rabbit tucked its front paws in, standing still obediently; the three mice huddled together, trembling.
The old trees and green grass stand still, as peaceful as ever.
The two pheasants looked dull and lowered their heads: peck, peck, peck…
Li Yuan had never expected that when he officially gave orders to these mountain creatures, his whole body would emit some kind of light, making them involuntarily respect him.
However, this is a good thing, as it will save him a lot of effort in his next plan.
Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Yuan straightened his body and held his head high.
Even if there are few people, this mountain god must look like a mountain god.
No matter how small your company is, when the boss pretends to be powerful, he will always be serious!
"For thousands of years, Anshan has been desolate and its spiritual energy has dissipated, resulting in its current dilapidated state, making it difficult to survive."
"And even in this situation, you are still only concerned about yourselves, killing each other and draining the pond to catch fish. It really makes me sad..."
"Don't you have anything to say about the current situation?"
Li Yuan shook his head, his eyes full of compassion.
However, the little animals in front of him were not moved at all by his passionate speech.
It's not that I'm indifferent, but that I simply don't understand.
They have low intelligence and only know how to obey their instincts to survive.
Instinct told them to respect the existence in front of them and not to be presumptuous.
However, that extremely vague instinct could only tell them this.
"Since you have agreed, then follow the arrangements of this mountain god from now on!!"
"Let the mountain god lead you to create greater glory for Anshan!"
Li Yuan naturally knew that they would not be able to react, so he took the opportunity to speak and directly issue orders.
The little animals were a little restless.
Their instinct tells them that what the person in front of them is going to do next may affect their short lives.
"Comrade Xiaocao is... um, useless now, just a bystander!"
"Three mice, um... gray..."
Apart from their size, Li Yuan really couldn't tell the difference between the three mice.
After a brief thought, he said, "The names are determined by their size. The largest one is called Big Gray, followed by Two Grays and Three Grays!"
Three gray mice huddled on the ground, staring at Li Yuan, with no emotion visible in their green bean-sized eyes.
However, without waiting for their reaction, Li Yuan immediately assigned them tasks:
"You three, Dahui will be in charge of the infrastructure work in Anshan, which means digging holes for planting trees. They can't be too dense, or scattered here and there without any pattern..."
"Two pheasants carried seeds and covered the soil to plant them!"
Li Yuan knew that they didn't understand the meaning of these words, but it didn't matter, he would patiently demonstrate to them until they understood.
"The dog will be called Wangcai. He will be responsible for protecting Anshan. We have to rely on you to protect our insignificant assets!"
After having a headache over the names of the three mice, Li Yuan was too lazy to think of any more names and just named them casually.
"Wang!"
Wangcai shouted inexplicably excitedly, but then felt it was inappropriate, so he turned his head away and ignored Li Yuan.
"The blue-flowered snake is called Xiaoqing. Anshan is dry and lacks water all year round. Your mission is to find underground water in the surrounding area. Even if you are thousands of miles away from the water source, you must find water on the Anshan mountain!"
"The little rabbit can't do much for now, so he helps dig holes and collect food near Anshan to store the food everyone needs."
Li Yuan comforted the somewhat anxious Comrade Rabbit and promised the little animals food and shelter.
"And brother Shu, I will name you Zhuge Laodeng! You will understand the deep meaning of this later!"
"Everything in the mountain is under your jurisdiction. If you have any troubles... go to it! If it can't solve them, come to me!"
Li Yuan pointed at the old tree, looking like a man who had just started a business and was about to become a hands-off boss.
The old tree stood quietly without responding.
I don’t know if it was the breeze or the old tree trying its best, but after Li Yuan finished speaking, its leaves swayed gently, as if in response, but also as if questioning Li Yuan:
how about you?
Li Yuan seemed to realize something and waved his hand:
"I'm responsible for planting trees and expanding our team!"
"From today on, all life comes from here!"
Li Yuan immediately urged the three gray mice to dig holes all over Anshan Mountain.
Anshan is a vast territory, stretching for thousands of miles. The area under Li Yuan's jurisdiction includes seven mountain peaks and dozens of small hills.
However, the surrounding environment is extremely desolate, and all you can see is yellow earth.
If Li Yuan wanted to turn such a vast wasteland into a green forest, it would probably take hundreds of years, passed down from generation to generation, for the small animals to work on it.
But there is no way, the living creatures in Anshan are too scarce.
Li Yuan spent half a year patiently teaching three gray mice to dig holes automatically, and then taught two mixed-haired pheasants to collect tree seeds by themselves and then put them in the holes and cover them with soil.
He kicked the wild dog out of its kennel and made it patrol the mountains every day.
The 'tool people' animals are not very intelligent, and it is very easy to cultivate habits in them as long as you spend time.
After being trained by Li Yuan, the rats had already formed muscle memory. Every three meters, they would instinctively dig a half-meter deep hole, then crawl out of the hole with a confused look on their faces. After crawling for a while, they would instinctively dig another hole...
The two pheasants liked to peck and peck. They searched all over the mountains and fields for fallen tree seeds, then stuffed them into the pit and covered them with soil and compacted them with their claws.
The infrastructure project has begun to operate. Although it has not even started yet, it makes Li Yuan feel a little relieved.
The evil capitalists will not sit idly by and watch free labor right before their eyes without exploiting it.
As a mountain god, he has a long life and no shortage of time.
But Anshan is like a piece of meat without oil or water. Although it is barren, it is also a place for demons to live.
Li Yuan is not so lucky. Last time he had the help of a wandering Taoist priest, but what about next time, and the next time?
There are so many monsters in the world. Anshan has the tricks but no origin. Now with Li Yuan's fresh and delicious fairy spirit, it's only a matter of time before he will be targeted by these unclean things again.
Therefore, the revival of Anshan is a major event that cannot be delayed.
After all, small animals are just auxiliary. If we really want to revive Anshan, we have to find stronger and more intelligent creatures.
The gods cannot communicate with him and the demons dare not contact him.
Then, only mortals can give it a try.
Li Yuan pondered for a long time, rolled up his non-existent sleeves, mustered up his courage, and floated straight down the mountain.
This remote village in a corner of Anshan is almost Li Yuan’s last hope.
There were people living a little further away, but Li Yuan was too weak to even run far.
In order to restore the vitality of Anshan and to cherish life, the old immortal grandfather is going down the mountain to fool...
To educate the world!
