Chapter 10 This method is called filtering!
Soon, the villagers got the things according to Li Yuan's request.
A millstone jar with a transparent bottom and a large, intact bowl.
Carefully selected fine sand and kneaded hay.
Crushed charcoal.
Ashes from burning wood.
There is also a piece of cleaner linen.
Li Yuan's body was now able to touch things, so he picked up these things and put them into the transparent stone jar in order.
First, wrap the bottom of the stone jar with sackcloth and secure it with torn strips of cloth.
Li Yuan put crushed charcoal into the stone jar, about one-fifth of the height of the jar, and spread it evenly.
Then, Li Yuan put in wood ash, fine sand and hay balls in turn.
These things took up most of the stone jar, almost filling it to the brim.
The villagers concentrated their attention, but they just couldn't understand what the mountain god was doing.
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Open your eyes and watch carefully!"
"This is a magical way to get clean water. I will only teach you once!"
"If anyone doesn't learn it, I will teach them again!" Li Yuan joked.
When they heard that it was related to getting clean water, the villagers tried hard to open their eyes wide.
Li Yuan placed the stone jar on top of a clean large bowl, then used his spiritual energy to mobilize a small stream of water in the cave and channeled it into the stone jar.
The yellow sewage slowly seeped into the layers of the stone jar and finally flowed out from the bottom of the jar.
The villagers opened their eyes wide, looking incredulous.
The water went around in the stone jar and fell into the bowl below, becoming semi-muddy clear water!
After going through it several times, it becomes much clearer!
The water was very clear, much cleaner than the gritty water they usually drank!
The villagers were terrified and knelt down again.
"It's a divine method. The mountain god used a divine method!"
The old people exclaimed it was a miracle, their eyes red.
"What kind of magic method is this? This method is called filtering!"
"Also, after filtering, try to boil it again before drinking!"
Li Yuan was amused by the ignorance of these simple villagers and quickly corrected them.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that when he was making the filter, the sun outside the cave seemed to be a little brighter.
It looks like a wide-open eyeball.
"Yes, yes, it's too green! Lord Mountain God has used too green!" The villagers were very excited. "But Lord Mountain God, this water is not green!"
"Filter! Water slug heart - filter!"
Li Yuan's face darkened slightly.
These villagers didn’t recognize the words Li Yuan said at all. They only knew that the mountain god of Anshan had come down to earth and everyone had water to drink!
The water in this cave is enough for all the people in the village to drink for more than ten years!
In the crowd, Niumei held her mother's hand and looked at the stone jar from which clear water flowed. A strange look bloomed in her big eyes.
Why does turbid water become clear after being "greened" by the mountain god?
What is the purpose of sand, charcoal, linen and grass leaves?
A seed of curiosity took root and sprouted in Niumei's heart.
It is a seed in the heart that pursues the truth, and in the ignorant age, it is the ideal of the saints.
Li Yuan taught the villagers how to build a simple filter and told them the lifespan and limitations of a filter.
If it is used for a long time, you need to replace it with new filtering materials.
He also asked the villagers to collect the yellow mud and impurities intercepted in the filter and use them as fertilizer for the saplings.
These yellow muds are all good soils rich in minerals!
After the villagers learned how to make their own filter containers, Li Yuan told them:
"Not all of this water is for drinking!"
"Everyone should use water resources rationally and wash when necessary!"
Li Yuan looked at the villagers, all of whom were dirty and covered in dust, and asked them to pay proper attention to their personal hygiene.
Most of these villagers smell bad and they wear linen clothes for half a year without washing them.
His teeth and face were yellow, his hair was messy, his eyes were sunken, and his face was thin.
Unfortunately, the area around Anshan is barren, the villagers have no money and no water, and their lives are very difficult.
Li Yuan knew that a sudden change in habits might cause discomfort or even be unacceptable to the body, leading to illness.
But everything has to take the first step, we can't go on like this.
An old man with gray hair looked reluctant: "Lord Mountain God, this water is life-saving, we can't bear to use it to rub our bodies!"
"If you feel uncomfortable, just roll in the hot sand!"
The villagers also echoed this, they were reluctant to use water to wash their bodies, thinking it was a waste!
This desolate desert has always suffered from severe water shortage, and the desert people have long abandoned the custom of washing with water.
If your body is dirty, roll in the hot sand; if your mouth stinks, scrape it with a wooden stick...
Li Yuan knew that he couldn't convince the villagers by reasoning for the time being, so his face became serious:
"Don't you even listen to the words of this mountain god?"
"Be careful, the mountain god will take back the water!"
The latter sentence was naturally just a threat. Li Yuan couldn't do that and couldn't do it.
Li Yuan deliberately provoked Anshan and immediately got a response from Anshan.
The entire mountain was shaking slightly, as if a god was angry.
The villagers felt the mountain tremble beneath their feet. They were frightened and knelt down one after another:
"Master Mountain God, please calm down, Master Mountain God, please don't be angry!"
Li Yuan snorted coldly:
"I told you to wash up because it's for your own good! Especially the children, you must wash up frequently!"
"As time goes by, you will naturally know it!"
"As for the water shortage, this mountain god will naturally find a way to solve it!"
He couldn't explain the existence of bacteria and viruses to the villagers and could only force them to comply.
After a long time, the villagers naturally understood.
"Besides, washing water isn't considered a waste!"
"You can all use the big buckets to wash. After you're done scrubbing your bodies, you can use it to water the saplings!"
"If we feed the saplings and wait for them to bear fruit, isn't that like exchanging dirty water for thirst-quenching fruit?"
Seeing that the villagers were still reluctant to leave, Li Yuan had no choice but to use both sticks and carrots to instill basic concepts into them.
The villagers seemed to be thinking about something, and their expressions gradually became less resistant.
They looked at each other, and the old man who could read came forward.
"Master Mountain God, we..."
"We are so sorry, but the whole village has pooled together only 89 copper coins. I am afraid we can't afford much to buy saplings!"
The old man had a guilty look on his face, feeling that he had failed to live up to the high hopes placed in him by the mountain god.
Li Yuan smiled slightly.
"As for money, this mountain god cannot help you much for now. But..."
He took out the jade wine jar that he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference.
Then smash it into pieces.
The ground was covered with broken jade, and the exquisite wine jar from heaven was no longer there.
"When you leave the desert, each of you should take these broken jades with you and exchange them for some money."
"I will use the money I earn to buy some daily necessities and some saplings that are easy to grow."
"But don't let one person take too many pieces of jade, or the thieves will be jealous!"
"Also, this must be the world's top-quality jade. Don't let anyone fool you when exchanging it for money."
"If someone has evil intentions and wants to scare you with some vague words, or pretends to buy the jade at a high price and then secretly does something bad to you, you should be more alert and consider selling it at a suitable price as soon as possible. Don't be afraid of losing money, your life is more important."
Li Yuan didn't care about the breaking of the precious jade wine jar. He was more worried that the villagers would be cheated when they went out to trade.
He spoke softly and gave some instructions.
The villagers' eyes were red.
They each took some broken jade pieces, filled some filtered water, and left at Li Yuan's urging.
When the villagers left, a ray of bright light bloomed in their eyes that had been numb and indifferent for decades!
Life is about to change!
There are people above us… As long as God is above us, there is hope!
