Chapter 37513753【Personal File】
After Guzi’s funeral, Xiang Nan’s new home began to be built, and everyone in the village came to help.
Helping those who cut wood, move bricks, make mud, dive, cook, serve tea... everyone performed their duties and it was lively.
As everyone gathered firewood, the flames were high. Within a week, three wooden houses had been erected.
“I really want to thank you all for your help. Otherwise, my house would not have been built so quickly.” Xiang Nan looked at the brand new house and was very happy. He raised his hands in thanks.
"Brother Ding, you don't have to be polite. The fact that you can pull out the holy sword of our Wangyou Island means that you are destined to our Wangyou Island, that is, one of our own people. There is nothing to thank you for helping your own people. "
“That’s right, Brother Ding doesn’t need to be polite to us. This is how we in Wangyou Island have always been, helping each other and loving each other. You will be a member of our Wangyou Island in the future, and it’s right for us to help you.”
“Brother Ding, these pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are all given to you by all of us. These are the capital for you to start a family and start a business.”
“Thank you all, thank you very much. You all have been so kind to me.” Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said with a smile, “I, Ding Peng, will keep your kindness in mind and I will definitely repay you in the future.”
Although these islanders are all remnants of the Demonic Cult, to be honest, they are much easier to get along with than the so-called decent and heroic people in the Central Plains.
“Brother Ding, you don’t have to be polite.” Everyone said with a smile.
…
After the new home was built, Xiang Nan immediately moved into the new home. They lived a simple life of clearing wasteland, cultivating fields, growing vegetables and raising chickens, working at sunrise and resting at sundown.
He has never been unfamiliar with farm work. In the worlds of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon", he learned about farmland water conservancy from Huang Yaoshi, Su Xinghe and others.
In the world of "Nishui Han", he also took tens of thousands of brothers from Lianyun Village to Nanyang, where he opened up territory and established his own kingdom.
Hence, clearing wasteland, cultivating fields, growing vegetables and raising chickens is completely childish for him.
Within a month, he had opened three acres of paddy fields on the hillside and planted rice and vegetables.
He is so hard-working and capable that everyone in the village naturally admires him.
“Brother Ding is really powerful. He has cultivated so many fields by himself.”
“Among all the young people on our island, Brother Ding is considered the most capable, even better than Gu Zi before him.”
“Brother Ding looks gentle, fair, and a scholar. Unexpectedly, he is a good farmer.”
…
“Ding Peng, a native of Yusheng Village in northern Hubei, was born in the third year of Tiande and is twenty-two years old this year. His father is Ding Yongquan, an **** from the Yangwei Escort Bureau.
When Ding Peng was thirteen years old, his father unfortunately died of illness. After that, he lived alone in the mountains for seven years, practicing the "Meteor from the Sky" sword technique.
Seven years later, when he first emerged, he defeated countless masters. Among them are Situ Zhuohan, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Guo Zhengping, the Songyang swordsman, Shi Ding, the top disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, Ge Qi, the wind-chasing swordsman, Fang Aotian, the leader of the Diancang Sect, Liu Ruosong, the Junzi Sword, etc., and they have achieved quite high reputations. .
In order to pursue a higher level of martial arts, Ding Peng went to sea to find Shen Lang's retreat. But the ship encountered a storm on the way and eventually sank, and he ended up living on Wangyou Island..." Feifei held a book in his hand and read loudly to Ren Tianxing.
This booklet is Xiang Nan’s personal archives. When he pulled out the holy sword and officially settled on Wangyou Island, Ren Tianxing sent Feifei to register him in detail. The euphemistic name is to establish a personal file to facilitate unified management in the future. In fact, it is to conduct a background check and take the opportunity to learn everything about Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan recounted his experience half-truthfully and half-falsely. In fact, except for going out to sea to find Shen Lang's hiding place, everything else is basically true.
He does know the martial arts in the "Lianhua Baojian", and he does want to pursue a higher realm of martial arts.
“Yeah, very good.” Ren Tianxing stroked his beard and was very satisfied with Xiang Nan’s information.
From this information, he can see that Xiang Nan is a perseverant, hard-working, competitive and ambitious person. Such a person is suitable to be manipulated by him.
Because the demon sect's magic weapon, the Full Moon Scimitar, and the magic weapon of the Demon Cult, the Full Moon Sword Technique, have the power to captivate and control the soul.
The stronger a person's desires, the easier it is to be controlled by them. So full of hostility, full of hatred, full of desire. When the time comes, it will transform into a killing machine that has no emotions, no humanity, and only knows how to kill.
He was forced to retreat to Wangyou Island from the Central Plains because thousands of his followers were secretly attacked by martial arts people from the Central Plains, resulting in heavy casualties. His beloved Palace Master Tianmei died because of this.
Hence, he has always harbored overwhelming hatred in his heart, wishing he could return to the Central Plains, kill those martial arts people in the Central Plains, avenge his sweetheart, avenge his dead followers, and make the Mingyue Sect make a comeback and unify the world.
It's just that he can't support himself alone. He and the hundreds of islanders on Wangyou Island alone are unable to fight back against the Central Plains.
So he needs to cultivate a killing machine to help him realize this wish. And Xiang Nan, who is highly skilled in martial arts and ambitious, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
…
“Brother Peng, take a rest and finish your tea.” Qing Qing handed a bowl of hot tea to Xiang Nandao.
He is now using bamboo poles to lay pipes to guide water from the mountains to the paddy fields on the mountains.
It seems impossible, but for Xiang Nan who is proficient in farmland water conservancy and mechanical engineering, it is not difficult. It's nothing more than making a wind-powered water pump to transport water layer by layer up the mountain through bamboo tubes.
Wangyou Island is located on the sea. There are sea breezes all year round, and the wind is quite strong.
"Wait for me to connect this tube." Xiang Nan smiled, used his skills to bake the isinglass, smeared it on a thin bamboo tube, and then connected it to a slightly thicker bamboo tube.
In this way, the bamboo tubes are connected together. Then apply isinglass to the joints and paint the bamboo poles. This way, it can be guaranteed to last for several years.
After the bamboo pipes were connected, Xiang Nan started the water pump, and the water from the lake at the foot of the mountain was immediately transported up the mountain layer by layer along the bamboo pipes, and gurgling clear water suddenly flowed out of the rice fields.
“Brother Peng, you are really out of water, you are so awesome!” Seeing this, Qingqing couldn’t help but admire.
Wangyou Island is mostly mountainous and rarely has plains, so the islanders cultivate mostly terraced fields. Watering the terraces is a difficult problem, as they basically rely on the weather.
If there is plenty of rain, there will naturally be a bumper harvest. But if there is insufficient rain, in order to ensure food production, the islanders will have to pump water to irrigate their farmland day and night. Naturally, this is extremely hard, and many people fall down from exhaustion every time.
Now, Xiang Nan has made this water pump, which can transport lake water to the mountain without manpower. It is so convenient and trouble-free. To the islanders, it is no less than an artifact.
“It’s nothing.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, “I’m just setting this up as a demonstration, and I’ll let all the villagers use it later, so water won’t be a problem.”
“Yeah.” Qingqing smiled and nodded.
