Looking at this powerful thunder strike, Yun Yi was slightly surprised.
Hiss! Granite can be broken by one strike.
This power is much stronger than the high-explosive grenades of the modern world and it looks cool.
Throwing a high-explosive grenade out to destroy and throwing a trident out to summon lightning to destroy are simply incomparable.
But still, he didn't expect charging the trident in the real world would summon lightning, in the game it only throws it farther.
Plus, to summon lightning in game you need to be in a thunder storm so summoning lightning on a clear day was very convenient.
This also means that between the two rules, the MC rule takes priority over reality. And there is another advantage to this change. If he wants to hurt someone without killing them he could just not charge the trident to the extreme.
Although the charging time is quite long, about 5 seconds which is critical in a life and death situation, but he doesn't think anyone in this world can fight him to that point.
At this time, the people of the Chu family and the Xiahou family knelt on the ground, not daring to move. After all, in the eyes of people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.Thunder is a symbol of power only gods can wield, so since Yun Yi can wield lightning with ease he must be the god of thunder and Justice!
Zhao An on the side also swallowed his saliva.
Fortunately, he has never deceived the gods.
Otherwise, if this thunder hits him won't he turn to dust?
After waiting for a long while, they saw the lightning gradually calming down. The people kneeling on the ground gradually regained some courage.
They secretly raised their heads while the trident that was originally stuck in the ground by the thunder and lightning in the granite wall suddenly began to make a buzzing sound.
Buzz...~
The trident body trembled violently and the next moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the colorful enchanted trident was automatically pulled out of the soil.
After stagnating in the air for a few breaths, it quickly returned to Yun Yi's side. However, this time Yun Yi did not open his hand to grab the trident. Instead, he quickly scattered a group of blocks to fill his inventory space.
Because the inventory space was full. Not only could the trident not fly back to his hand, it could not automatically enter the inventory. As a result, it could only hover around Yun Yi but this was the effect he wanted
"Why do you kneel all the time? I don't like others kneeling, stand up."
As soon as the voice fell, the kneeling Chu and Xiahou families dared not disobey, and all supported each other to stand up. However, although they stood up, their legs still wobbled.
Chu Ji mustered up his courage and walked out of the crowd then he knelt down in front of Yun Yi with a plop:
"Lord God, please give us some water in Xinghua Village. I am willing to be your servant for life and serve you."
Zhao An on the side suddenly widened his eyes. You scheming dog! Didn't we agree before that when we see the gods, you will only ask for water? Why do you still want to serve the gods? Damn it, why didn't he think of it first?! Unfortunately, Yun Yi is still here, otherwise he would smack Chu Ji's nose and call him a scheming dog.
Yun Yi glanced at Chu Ji. From Zhao An's previous description and introduction, he found that although Chu Ji had not been recorded in history books he must be around the main conflict.
As for why there was no record, maybe he died unexpectedly before he had time to show his ability. No one can predict if they even live pass today without from from something
Just like himself, he would have never thought that he would suddenly get struck by lightning one day while playing games which unexpectedly send him back to the past during the three kingdom era.
Although he likes capable subordinates, serving him is a little unpleasant, he didn't really like to be tied to another in such ways and because he was not used to it. He had become friends with Zhao Yun and the villagers here followed him just fine.
Yun Yi coughed lightly:
"I'll give you water, but forget about serving me."
Hearing this, Chu Ji felt lost but it was also within his expectations. The being in front of him is a god who controls thunder. How could a mortal like him who had just met once be qualified to serve him?
But looking at Zhao Yun and others standing next to Yun Yi. He felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and didn't let it get him down. In the future, he must take action to prove his worth to the god.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord God."
Chu Ji kowtowed heavily on the ground.
The scab mark that he got when he kowtowed to Zhao An just now broke again. The blood slowly slid down his cheek to the ground.
Yun Yi shook his head helplessly.
"Don't kneel and kowtow all the time in the future."
Then he turned to Zhao An and said, "Teach them the salute when you have time"
The reason why Zhao An was asked to teach was to give him a chance to establish his authority in front of the people in Xinghua Village. After all, at present, the Zhao family is his base and he likes Zhao An's way of dealing with people.
Zhao An instantly understood what Yun Yi meant and was delighted: "Yes, Lord God, I will teach them well"
Yun Yi took a look at the granite wall that he had blasted a gap in and took out an iron pick from his inventory. He broke off the broken parts and took out a new granite wall to replace it.
The people in Zhaojiazhuang were already accustomed to this scene so they were not surprised. But people from the Chu family and the Xiahou family all widened their eyes.
Their faces were full of disbelief. Creating something out of nothing? Although they didn't understand the principle, they were surprised nonetheless.
The eyes they looked at Yun Yi became more respectful and pious. After cleaning up the mess, Yun Yi said to the people in Xinghua Village:
"Let's go, I'll help you put an infinite water source."
The people of the Chu family and the Xiahou family nodded hurriedly. However, most only took a few steps before falling down again.
"Patriarch, I feel like my legs have no strength at all."
"Y-yes, I can't get up"
It seems the lightning scares them more then they realized. At that time, adrenaline surged, so they didn't feel anything but once they relaxed. Their legs were so weak that they couldn't even move.
Yun Yi shook his head helplessly. Of course, taking out milk should solve the problem of their collective weak legs but there are so many people. How long will it take to drink?
Seeing this, Chu Ji hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"How many people in the Chu family can walk back by themselves now? Please raise your hands."
Xiahou Xing also asked:
"How many people in the Xiahou family can walk back by themselves now? Raise your hands too."
However, after looking around, Few people raised their hands. The two looked at each other but they couldn't waste the time of the gods. So Chu Ji cast his eyes on Zhao An on the side.
"Chief Zhao An, I'll have to trouble you with another matter"
Zhao An sighed, he could already guessed what it was. But after all, the lord god agreed, so he would work hard.
"Chief Chu Ji, do you plan to take those who can walk and go with the Lord first?"
Chu Ji nodded:
"Yes"
"For those who can't walk back now, please take care of them, Chief Zhao An."
"Our Chu family still has some books left by our ancestors. If the Zhao family doesn't mind, you can take a copy. "
Hearing this, Zhao An's eyes lit up immediately. If it was gold, silver and jewelry he wouldn't have cared. In a famine year, gold, silver and jewelry might not be worth the same weight of grain.
But books are different. Books have their own beauty and strength which they can learn and pass down. It can be said that every book can be used as a family inheritance in the future.
Especially in this era, the major aristocratic families monopolize knowledge and hog the power. Ordinary people have very few to none opportunities to learn knowledge, This makes books even more precious.
Zhao An immediately patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Patriarch Chu Ji, you don't need to worry. I'll take good care of them."
Xiahou Xing also hurriedly promised to help take care of the clan members and give up their clan books to copy. Xinghua Village Xiahou family is a branch of Qiao County Xiahou family so their books are no less than those of Chu family.
Hearing the promise, Zhao An's mouth was already grinning to the sky. It's great to cling to a god's thigh. Or else, how could these families take out their treasured books for others to copy?
Afterwards, Chu Ji and Xiahou Lan picked out all the people from their families who could still walk back from more than 600 people. Which was quite few, only more than 20 people from the both families.
Looking at the remaining hundreds of weak-legged clan members. Chu Ji and Xiahou Lan rolled their eyes but they couldn't blame them. Anyone who sees a god who can summon thunder will be as shook as they are. In fact, they are also equally excited. The ability to walk back alone is all thanks to the strong ability to bear.
"Lord god, we are fine. "
Yun Yi nodded:
"Okay, let's go. Lead the way"
Yun Yi originally planned to go to Xinghua Village alone this time. But after thinking about it, he decided to take Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan with him. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place.
Bringing some familiar people with him would not bore him along the way. Xinghua Village and Zhaojiazhuang are more than ten miles apart, and can be reached by going east along the Hutuo River.
There are few big roads and many small roads along the way and they're all basically muddy roads. Fortunately, it has been dry for several years so these muddy roads are now compacted to the point where you have to knock on them with a hoe to break it.
Just as everyone was walking east along the path. Suddenly, a burly man jumped out from behind a small earthen slope, blocking the way forward. The burly man had a dark face and a poorly crafted mask with bulging muscles, which made his already higher one stretch.
He held a short iron halberd in each hand, and
was really fierce.
"I opened this road and planted the trees. If you want to pass through here, leave some food behind!"
The burly man shouted, and his voice was as loud as the roar of a lion or tiger. Looking at this scene, Yun Yi was startled. He never expected to encounter a bandit, though it was hard to believe considering it was just him.
The people of the Chu family and the Xiahou family were also stunned. You stopped more than 20 people and planned to rob by yourself? Not to mention there was a god amongst them. Seeing this, Chu Ji felt that his chance to show off had come.
He hurriedly ran to Yun Yi respectfully:
"My Lord, how about I take care of this man?"
Yun Yi nodded. After receiving the promise, Chu Ji immediately jumped forward:
"You fool, there are no trees here, how can you plant trees?"
There used to be a few trees planted on this road but It's a pity that they didn't have time to grow up. When the drought came they didn't take long before they were buried.
After hearing this, the burly man was also stunned. He just said that sentence casually and didn't expect anyone to refute him, he looked around and realized that there was indeed no tree.
The big man scratched his head and immediately changed his words:
"I didn't plant this tree, but I opened this road. If you want to pass through here, you must leave some food."
Chu Ji laughed again and said sarcastically:
"You are really a fool. This road has been around for decades. Were you working on it in your mothers womb?"
Being ridiculed by Chu Ji, the burly man was instantly anxious.
"No matter what! If you want to pass through today, you must leave some food."
After saying that, the burly man's stomach grumbled a little. If he didn't eat, he would really starve to death on this road.
Chu Ji asked again:
"There are more than 20 of us here. Do you still insist on stopping us?"
The burly man showed a broken jar look:
"More than 20 people? Even if more than 200 people came today, you still need to leave some food!"
Chu Ji clapped his hands:
"Okay, okay, then don't blame us for not showing mercy."
"Chu Yan, are you confident that you can deal with this fool"
Chu Yan knew this was the opportunity that his father had presented for him to show off in front of the gods, so he patted his chest and said:
"Father, leave it to me."
From the perspective of body size, Chu Yan's is far smaller than that of the burly man in front. The man is just over two meters tall and strong and sturdy. If it was in modern times, he would've become a legend in the NBA.
Chu Yan's body size is just a little over 1.7 meters. When the two stood together, Chu Yan felt like a child standing in front of an adult.
Chu Ji came to Yun Yi and said: "My Lord, this is my son Chu Yan. Although he is a bit smaller, he is as light as a swallow and has strong martial arts. He will definitely have no problem dealing with this fool."
That boy is Chu Yan? Yun Yi was stunned. He didn't know that Chu Ji's child was Chu Yan before. Speaking of Chu Yan, he is quite famous, The leader of the Black Mountain Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Chu Yan gathered a group of young men as bandits and fought in the mountains and rivers.
When he returned to Zhending, his army had reached more than 100,000. Later, he joined forces with another rebel Zhang Niujiao and elected Zhang Niujiao as the leader.
But Zhang Niujiao was unlucky. Not long after, he was shot by a stray arrow and was seriously injured. Before he died, he ordered his men to regard Chu Yan as the leader.
After that, he changed his name to Zhang Yan. It was also from then on, Chu Yan led his troops to fight in many counties and prefectures, and he was able to get along with everyone.
As a result, he developed a million-strong army. He called himself the "Black Mountain Army". Then he wrote to the court to request surrender and was granted the title of Pingnan Zhongzhong.
After that, Zhang Yan became a local lord. He fought with Yuan Shao many times and each had his own victory and defeat. Later, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu. Yuan Shao also died in grief and anger.
The land of Hebei was completely returned to the Cao family group. Chu Yan knew that he could not defeat Cao Cao, so he decisively led more than 100,000 people to surrender to Cao Cao. He was granted the title of Anguo Ting Hou and a fief of 500 households.
Chu Yan took out a short axe from his waist and walked up to the burly man: "Since you want to rob us, let me see if you have the ability. "
The burly man looked at Chu Yan and said disdainfully:
"Don't you have anyone else? You're just a kid?"
Chu Yan was immediately furious:
"I hope your skills are as good as your mouth."
After saying that, he swung at the burly man with a short axe. However, the burly man did not move like he was frozen. Just when the short axe was about to hit him he moved swiftly and blocked it with his short halberd.
Chu Yan, who was full of confidence at the beginning, was caught off guard. What a great strength! The short halberd shook off the short axe, and Chu Yan took several steps back to make room.
However, if you look closely you will find that Chu Yan's hand holding the axe has begun to tremble.
The burly man laughed:
"Hahaha! That's it?
The words were quite harsh in Chu Yan's ears.
But he didn't let it get to him, since he couldn't fight him head on and he had to outsmart him. This time, he would test first, and then use flexible body movements to avoid the man's attack and then counterattack
.
"Why are you like a monkey? Fight like a real man!"
Chu Yan smiled bitterly. Damn it, If I could beat you head-on, would I be like this? But the man was really strong. Every time Chu Yan was about to strike him, he was blocked.
The two fought for more than ten rounds. Dense beads of sweat oozed from Chu Yan's forehead. On the other hand, the man was still at ease.
"Okay, enough playing around, let's end this."
What?
He didn't use his full strength just now? Chu Yan was stunned. It was during this moment of daze that the man suddenly changed the rhythm of his attack.
He took advantage of the time when Chu Yan's strength was waning and slashed horizontally.
It was over!
Yun Yi, who was watching the battle, saw this scene and almost wanted to stop it but it seems the burly man did not have the intention to kill.
When the short halberd was about to hit Yan, he twisted the halberd to the unedge side, throwing Chu Yan to the ground knocking him out.
Chu Ji stood in front of Yun Yi, his face flushed.
He just said in front of the god how powerful his son was. But he was knocked out instead,
It was so embarrassing.
The burly man put the short halberd back into his waist and shook his head:
"He can't beat me and neither can you, I suggest you leave food behind and be on your way!"
Yun Yi looked at the burly man with interest. So strong in combat? Could he be a famous figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? He didn't have any aversion towards him. After all, judging from his unskilled robbery at the beginning, it should be his first time.
And he only wanted to ask people to leave some food. Most importantly, he could have killed Chu Yan but stopped at just knocking him out unconscious, even if the burly man really wanted to kill Chu Yan, he could instantly place a block between them to stop him.
"May I know your name, warrior?"
Yun Yi stepped forward and asked. The burly man raised an eyebrow, but still responded first: " I am Chen Wei from Chenliu, Yuzhou."
Chen Wei? Was there such a person in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? Yun Yi searched his memory several times but didn't find it. Maybe he was another person who was lost in the long river of history.
But still, he was quite skilled to beat Chu Yan.
After all, Chu Yan was even placed top among the many generals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Though he guessed Chu Yan was still just a teenager so how skilled can he really be?
At this time, Zhao Yun asked.
"My Lord, can you let me have a try?"
Let Zhao Yun go up? Wouldn't it be a bit too bullying? Even though Zhao Yun was also a teenager, if you look at the entire Han Dynasty, there are probably only a few who are stronger than him.
Plus, he was still growing and no one knows how strong he will be in the end. However, seeing as how eager Zhao Yun was, he nodded in agreement:
"Okay, but be careful."
Zhao Yun bowed:
"My Lord, don't worry, Yun knows what to do."
After that, he came forward with the Yajiao spear:
"I'll be fighting you."
Chen Wei touched his stomach and complained:
"Hmph! Fighting me one after another while I'm on an empty stomach"
Zhao Yun's face immediately turned red, and he said immediately:
"If you can beat me, I will treat you to a full meal."
"Seriously!?"
Zhao Yun laughed loudly:
"There's so many witnesses, I always keep my word!"
Chen Wei was immediately overjoyed:
"Okay, okay!"
After saying that, he took out another short halberd from his waist.
"kid, I'm using two halberds now so be careful!"
Zhao Yun had seen Chen Wei's martial arts.
Naturally, he did not dare to take it lightly.
"I'm coming."
After saying that, Zhao Yun raised his spear and thrust. The speed was so fast you could almost see the afterimage. Even the man was startled and could only block this blow.
Dang!
Zhao Yun wrist became a little numb and was shocked at Chen Wei's strength. Is this guy also born with supernatural power? AndHe is even stronger than me.
"Your martial arts are much better than that kid just now." Chen Wei praised.
"Hah!"
Zhao Yun charged towards as did Chen Wei, spear and halberd collided with sparks flying everywhere. For a while, they were evenly matched.
Yun Yi widened his eyes, a little surprised.
Isn't Chen Wei so strong? He even fought Zhao Yun in his childhood? Sure enough, there are hidden masters among the people.
There are countless strong people, but only a few of them can be recorded in history. Huang Zhong was also a master of martial arts but he was discovered only when he was middle-aged?
The two fought for more than fifty rounds in a row. Both Zhao Yun and Chen Wei began to breathe a little harder.
"Haha! I haven't had such a hearty battle for a long time."
The burly man shouted. The double halberds intersected quickly as if there was a melody. Zhao Yun was forced to defend repeatedly.
After a while, Chen Wei was obviously a little tired. Zhao Yun took advantage of it and fought harder.
Seeing this, Chen Wei jumped back: "Kid, you are powerful but I'm running on an empty stomach so I'm at a disadvantage. When I come back with a full stomach we will fight for another 300 rounds!"
Having said that, Chen Wei prepared to run away. There is still a mountain not far away so there is no fear of running out of firewood. Though he still cursed his bad luck, for the first time in his life, he met someone whose martial arts were not inferior to his own.
Zhao Yun prepared to chase butYun Yi waved his hand, indicating him not to. You still want to run in front of me? Are you dreaming?
Yun Yi took out the granite block from his inventory and put it in his hand. Then he moved his mind and the granite block instantly appeared in front of Chen Wei's!
Chen Wei's sturdy body hit the granite block heavily and fell back on his ass. He shook his head and stared at the granite wall that suddenly appeared in front of him confused.
Why is there a wall in front of me? He didn't remember it being here before Or did he remember it wrong? For a moment, he began to doubt himself...he turned his head and saw that Yun Yi and others were slowly approaching him.
He quickly got up and changed direction but another granite wall blocked his path and ran into it again. Chen Wei did not get up this time and stared up at the sky contemplating if he was cursed or something.
"Hey, man, get up."
Zhao Yun shouted.
Chen Wei lay on the ground, looking up at them, and asked in a daze:
"Are you a demon or ghost?"
Zhao Yun laughed:
"Demon or ghost? Why can't it be gods?"
"Ah?"
Chen Wei was stunned, and then reacted immediately, "God? You?"
Zhao Yun shook his head:
"Of course not? The one next to me is the god."
Chen Wei waved his hand:
"I have never seen a god, but I have seen many charlatans. It must be a trick. I don't believe it."
Yun Yi smiled and looked at him:
"What about this?"
He waved his hand and a group of granite blocks in the inventory fell to the ground and formed a circle around them. Chen Wei's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly:
"Did you make the wall?"
Yun Yi nodded. Chen Wei knelt on the ground with a plop:
"It was Dian Wei who was blind and didn't see the god in front of him."
Dian Wei? No wonder, how can there be so many masters who can compete with Zhao Yun? It turned out to be Dian Wei after all this time.
Now that makes much more sense. In the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu was the best in horse battles, but Dian Wei was still the best in foot battles. Looking closely, they do look alike.
He is burly and powerful and uses two short iron halberds. Dian Wei's death in history was a bit aggrieved. He met his end fighting off Zhang Xiu's forces while covering Cai Cao's escape.
Yun Yi smiled and looked at Dian Wei:
"Why did you change your name?"
Dian Wei scratched his head, a little embarrassed:
"My mother said that you must hide your name when you go out. And robbing is not a good thing, so I took an alias. "
Yun Yi shook his head:
"It seems that you are not stupid. Tell me, why are you robbing people"
Dian Wei touched his stomach:
"I just got lost and was hungry, so I had to borrow some food from someone for an emergency."
"And I was going pay it back afterwards."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei's stomach made a gurgling sound. He lowered his head, and his dark face flushed a little.
Yun Yi laughed and took out a cooked fish from his inventory and threw it to him:
"Don't worry, eat something first."
He took the fish and a question mark appear above his head
"Lord God, where did this grilled fish come from?"
Yun Yi shook his head helplessly:
"Fool, I am a god, it's not too much making things appear is it?"
Dian Wei was stunned, then nodded quickly:
"Yes yes"
After saying that, he grabbed the cooked fish in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He was so hungry! He hadn't eaten anything for three days. With his size he had to find a lot of food so he was really desperate.
The cooked fish tastes particularly fragrant.
Unfortunately, Dian Wei was so hungry that he stuffed almost all of the cooked fish into his stomach before he could even taste it.
Except for the fish head, even the bone spurs were not spared. After eating the cooked fish, Dian Wei looked at Yun Yi pitifully. Yun Yi immediately understood what he meant. He still hungry so he took out another cooked fish and threw it to Dian Wei:
"Don't worry, have plenty here. "
A fish weighs ten kilograms. He had caught more than thirty fish before which was more than three hundred kilograms...Even if Dian Wei eats as much as he can, he can't finish it.
After eating the second fish, Dian Wei felt much better but he still wasn't full so he looked at Yun Yi pitifully again.
Yun Yi:...
He sighed but still took out the third cooked fish from his inventory and gave it to Dian Wei. Zhao Yun on the side almost dropped his jaw. He had never seen a person eat so much in one sitting.
When eating the third cooked fish, Dian Wei finally had the time to taste it. The fresh and fragrant taste spread across his taste buds exploded. It was the best food he had ever tasted!
Of course, he hadn't really had the luxury to taste costly exquisite food since he was just an ordinary farmer's child. He didn't even have a "name".
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. All families with a long history of talent and learning will give their children a courtesy name when they reach adulthood. It symbolizes growing up. But Dian Wei did not have a courtesy name or the family he was born in did not have the concept of courtesy names.
"Burp!~"
Dian Wei burped with satisfaction.
Yun Yi asked: "Are you full?"
Dian Wei: "I am full."
"then tell me in detail why you are robbing here."
Dian Wei nodded and immediately explained why he was robbing here. More than a year ago. He met a wronged woman named Liu in Xiangyi. Her whole family was persecuted by Li Yong from Suiyang.
She had no way to appeal so Dian Wei, who was chivalrous by nature, decided to avenge her. At that time, Li Yong from Suiyang was the county magistrate of Fuchun County, Wujun, Yangzhou. The guards at home were very strict.
So he drove a cart, carrying chicken and wine, and disguised himself as an idler waiting. When the door in front of Li Yong's house opened he waited for Li Yong to leave the palace in person and that's when Dian Wei went forward with a dagger to kill Li Yong and his wife.
After killing them, He returned to the cart to take the halberds before leaving. Li Yong lived in a populated area so hundreds of people chased Dian Wei after he was killed.
But he fought them off alone and he fled to Fuchun County. Even though the central government had basically relaxed over the 16 places at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, .
This incident still caused an uproar in the court.
The emperor personally issued a wanted order and Wanted notices were posted everywhere. In addition, Dian Wei's burly appearance and height of more than two meters made him stand out in the crowd.
In desperation, he had to hide in the mountains for more than a year. As time went by, the impact of the wanted order gradually decreased.
Dian Wei finally found an opportunity to secretly go back to see his parents. He found out that his mother was ill and the doctors invited couldn't cure her.
It was at this time he heard that the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao had a magic water that could cure all diseases. So, he decided to travel north to Jizhou to find Zhang Jiao and ask for the magic water to cure his mother's illness.
But he was unlucky and had gotten lost. He didn't even find Julu County where Zhang Jiao was rumored to be and all his food was consumed.
He was still wanted, so it was not convenient for him to enter those cities. With nowhere else to go, he decided to rob. But he never intended to kill for money, he just wanted to borrow some food to fill his stomach.
When he had money and food in the future, he planned to return it. After saying that, Dian Wei suddenly stood up, patted his head and said: "Yes, my mother is still sick, I have to go to the great virtuous teacher."
"My Lord, do you know where Julu County is?"
Chu Ji covered his face, it was unbelievable that this fool could be his son. Heaven is really unfair.
Zhao Yun said jokingly:
"This is Changshan County, Julu County is just over a hundred miles to the southeast."
"But are you sure you still want to go to Julu County?"
Dian Wei nodded:
"Of course I have to go, my mother is still waiting for the magic water to save her life."
Zhao Yun shook his head slightly:
"You are really a fool."
Dian Wei immediately said dissatisfiedly:
"Boy, don't think you can be arrogant just because you beat me? I am full now, I am not afraid of you at all."
Zhao Yun laughed:
"If you're not a fool then why don't you ask for the god in front of you instead of going a hundred miles away to find the messenger of the gods?"
Dian Wei was stunned. Yes, the gods were right in front of me. Why would he go so far away? He immediately knelt down in front of Yun Yi. But even when he was kneeling on the ground, he was only a head shorter than Yun Yi.
"Please, almighty god, save my mother. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
Chu Ji on the side couldn't help laughing.
What a fool, Who would agree to servitude the first time they saw you? He tried it and unfortunately didn't succeed.
Dian Wei didn't think too much, just knelt on the ground with his head down waiting quietly for Yun Yi's reply.
Yun Yi looked at Dian Wei:
"Are you sure about this? In fact, I can treat your mother even if you don't follow me."
Dian Wei's face showed a bit of shrewdness:
"I absolutely won't regret it! and it's a great honor to be able to follow you, almighty god"
Yun Yi smiled. He did have the idea of accepting Dian We, after all, If he didn't accept him. Wouldn't Dian Wei go back to his old ways and die a bad death?
"Okay, You will be at my service from now on."
Dian Wei's eyes lit up immediately, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times:
"Thank you, My Lord, thank you so much!"
After hearing this, only Chu Ji was stunned.
The god...he agreed? No, why? He's more simple than me and maybe a little stronger than me... but still…
Chu Ji's face suddenly showed a look of loss.
But he didn't last long since if he was fated to serve the gods then he will, if he's not then he won't even do anything about it.
Yun Yi coughed and said:
"Stop kneeling, get up quickly. Since you have chosen to follow me, don't kowtow all the time. My followers have their own way of greeting."
"Zhao Yun teach him"
"Anyone else who doesn't know can also watch and learn."
The latter sentence was directed at the other. Zhao Yun nodded. He immediately put on the hand-holding posture with a hand covering the other closed fist. The others watched and found that it was actually simple yet elegant.
Dian Wei couldn't wait to ask:
"Lord God, my mother's illness won't last long. When can we go back to treat her?"
Zhao Yun asked:
"Brother Wei, can I ask where your family is? Do you have brothers and sisters besides your parents? How is the land at home?"
Dian Wei answered honestly:
"My family is located in Jiwu County, Chenliu State, Yanzhou. I am the only son in my family, and I have no brothers or sisters."
"Due to the famine in the past few years, my family has sold all the land. My parents are now tenant farmers for a rich family in the village and they barely get by"
Well there was another reason, his appetite has been particularly big. The family's income can't support him at all so he went out to travel everywhere.
Zhao Yun said:
"Since you only have parents and no land in your family, why don't you bring your parents here?"
"In this way, you can best be of use by Lord God and can to take care of your parents"
Dian Wei furrowed his brows:
"Ah? Won't that be too much trouble?"
Zhao Yun waved his hand:
"It's okay, it's just a matter of two more pairs of chopsticks, it won't affect anything"
Dian Wei didn't dare to agree easily, so he glanced at Yun Yi for confirmation.
Yun Yi nodded:
"I think Zhao Yun's suggestion is good, but it can be improved."
"You don't have to bring your parents here to treat them, you can take this milk with you when you get back. It'll save you the round trip and risk."
Dian Wei was puzzled, "Can milk cure my mother's disease?"
Zhao Yun hop in and explain:
"Of course this is not ordinary milk, the milk My Lord is talking about is a divine medicine capable of curing anything"
"It can even restore broken limbs"
As soon as his voice fell. Everyone, including Dian Wei, gasped. They did not doubt Zhao Yun's words. After all, this is a real god! Summoning thunder, storing items in the void, unlimited water sources... Why would he bother to lie about a milk that can cure diseases and save lives?
Dian Wei then took out a leather water storage bag from his chest.
"Master God, can this be used as a container?"
"Yes."
Yun Yi took a milk bucket out from his inventory and poured it into the leather bag. This water storage bag has a large capacity and can hold two liters of water. Even if Dian Wei's mother was on the verge of death, she can still be saved.
At this time, Xiahou Xing on the side spoke up rarely:
"Lord God, we have a few fast horses in our clan that can be lent to brother Dian Wei."
"With their help, he can go back to treat his mother faster."
However, Dian Wei showed an extremely embarrassed smile.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't ride a horse..."
Everyone except Yun Yi looked at Dian Wei in confusion. Can't ride a horse? You are so good at martial arts, but you can't ride a horse? This is really... rare.
Yun Yi was not surprised. After all, neither the novel nor the history books wrote about Dian Wei's riding horses. As long as one is proficient in riding, no one would be so stupid to abandon four legs instead of two legs to fight the enemy.
Still, Dian Wei never had the opportunity to practice riding a horse since his family wasn't wealthy. Chu Ji at the side finally found the right time to speak:
"Lord God, our Chu family does have a horse carriage."
"Although Brother Dianwei can't ride a horse, he can go back in a carriage, it's still faster than walking on foot."
"If Brother Dian Wei can't drive, then my son Chu Yan can drives for Brother Dianwei."
This is really thoughtful. Dian Wei was touched, but he was not stupid. He understood that the reason why these people were so nice to him was because of the God. So...holding Master God's thigh tightly is the right path.
Thinking of this, Dian Wei, with a silly smile on his face, said
"My friend, I am grateful for your offer, but your son is..."
Chu Ji sighed, he walked to Chu Yan who was still lying on the ground without saying a word.
He squatted down and shook him violently until he woke up.
"Ah? Dad, is this the underworld? Were you also killed by that brute?"
Chu Ji rolled his eyes wildly: "The God is here, can he really let you die?"
"But you, you always claim to be a martial arts expert and have no rivals in Zhending County, but it turns out that you were just bragging after all this time."
"Zhao Yun also went forward, but not only did he not get knocked down like you, he also won. "
Chu Yan opened his mouth, wanting to refute but not knowing where to start. So he was left there sitting, speechless.
"Okay, enough dwelling on your loss. I've got you another job"
Chu Yan asked:
"what job?"
Chu Ji pouted:
"Drive Dian Wei home, and pick up his parents."
"Ah?"
Chu Yan was a little reluctant at first. After all, he had just been knocked out by Dian Wei and now he has to drive for him. Don't I have any face left?
After Dian Wei joined the team, Yun Yi took out the pickaxe and broke off all the granite blocks then everyone set off again. The rest of the journey was smooth, and there was no obstacle.
Before reaching Xinghua Village, everyone could already see apricot trees all over the mountains but the leaves were sparse and yellow, and they looked dying.
Chu Ji sighed and said:
"Years of drought, if there is no water, the fragrant trees will all die."
Originally, the apricot trees all over the mountains were an important source of income for the two families in Xinghua Village. Apricot flowers can be used to make apricot wine or eaten directly.
But as the drought continued, it brought in less and less money. This year, the Chu family and the Xiahou family no longer expect the apricot trees to bring them extra income. They just hope that the apricot trees will not die.
But they looked at Yun Yi and instantly, the weight in their heart was lifted. There are gods here and the days to come should be better and better.
At the entrance of the village. There are many old and young women and children standing at the entrance of the village. They all raised their heads and looked into the distance.
Almost all the young and strong men of the Chu family and the Xiahou family went to Zhaojiazhuang so they were curious about the outcome of the matter, but also worried about their husbands, fathers, sons...
The moment they saw Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing, everyone surrounded them and created a crowd.
"Chief, did you get any water?"
However, Ji shook his head. Only then did they notice that more than 600 people from the two families went out, but now only more than 20 people returned. They didn't dare to think too deeply.
"Chief, could it be that they all... ..."
The bodies of the old and young women and children trembled slightly, and tears were already rolling in their eyes.
Chu Ji found that they seemed to be wrong:
"What are you thinking? Would I leave my people behind and come back by myself? They are all fine. There was a small accident so they are no staying in Zhaojiazhuang to rest"
"And Zhaojiazhuang did not cut off the Hutuo River."
Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"Clan leader, you said that the Zhao family did not cut off the Hutuo River. What does that mean?"
Chu Ji immediately explained: "At the beginning, we did find that the Zhao family took a lot of water from the Hutuo River, enough to irrigate thousands of acres of fertile fields."
"So we thought they cut off the Hutuo River and diverted all the water from the Hutuo River into the ditch for their own use."
"But when we went there, we found that it was not the case."
"The water in the Hutuo River is still the same, and it has almost dried up."
"The water used by the Zhao family is not taken from the Hutuo River, nor is it groundwater, but from the infinite water source given by the gods."
Gods? Infinite water source? They were a little confused and did not react for a while.
"Grandpa clan leader, have you been deceived?"
A child about seven or eight years old in the crowd asked in a childish voice. As soon as the voice fell, the child's mother pulled her child back and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, clan leader. Children can speak without restraint."
Chu Jo rubbed his temple. However, he quickly restored his authority as the patriarch and said in an unquestionable tone:
"I know it is hard to believe, but this is the fact."
"And I invited the god here. The god will also give us unlimited water in Xinghua Village. So, no matter whether you believe it or not, please show respect."
"Otherwise, regardless of your status, you will be punished according to the clan rules."
His tone and words frighten everybody to silence. Xiahou Xing also step forward and said:
"What patriarch Chu Ji said is true, and I think the same. Everyone must respect the gods or else you will be punished!"
The rest of the Xiahou family members also shut up. They didn't even dare to breathe. The power of the clan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was different from that in later generations.
It was very big and the clan rules could not only punish privately, but even execute serious cases and the government can't even investigate the truth and falsehood of it.
Everyone entered Xinghua Village, Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing originally wanted Yun Yi to rest for a while and do their best to be a good host however, Yun Yi refused.
Looking at the harsh environment of drought and the pale and thin people. How can he bear to rest so leisurely? The drought situation in Xinghua Village is worse than that in Zhaojiazhuang.
First of all, Xinghua Village has more acres so they naturally need more water and secondly, their village is located further down the stream compared to Zhaojiazhuang.
By the time the Hutuo River flows past Zhaojiazhuang, it will already be absorbed by the dry soil before even reaching Xinghua Village.
Soon, Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing worked together with the rest of the people in the village to find a suitable location and they arrived at the bank of Hutuo River which connected to the ditch flowing in all directions.
"My Lord, this is it. "
Yun Yi nodded, took out the water bucket and placed an infinite water block on the ground and clear water instantly began gushing out.
"Water, there is really water!"
"The clan leader really brought back the gods."
"Long live the gods!"
"Long live the gods!"
For a while, there was endless cheering behind Yun Yi. It was still the same problem, the infinite water block was limited by the influence of MC rules and only extended seven meters outward before being blocked by the air wall.
This is also the reason why Yun Yi did not put many infinite water blocks in the Hutuo River. Because unless he can completely cover the entire Hutuo River with infinite water blocks, no matter how many infinite water blocks are placed, it will only affect a small area.
Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing ran to the infinite water block excitedly. Scooping a handful of water and drinking it down their throat, it was cool and sweet.
"So Refreshing!"
From now on, our Xinghua Village will no longer lack water! However, seeing the strange "air wall" formed by the water flowing out of the infinite water source. They also instantly understood the purpose of the Zhao family's setting up a waterwheel.
People can also carry water but it is time-consuming and laborious. If they use a waterwheel, one person can do the work of dozens.
At this time, Xiahou Xing walked to Chu Ji:
"Chu Ji, does your family have anyone who knows crafting skills?"
Chu Ji immediately understood:
"Xiahou, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Xiahou Xing nodded:
"The efficiency of a waterwheel is faster than that of dozens of people. If we also build more than a dozen waterwheels like Zhaojiazhuang, then we only need dozens of people to draw enough water from the infinite water source to irrigate the fields and apricot trees."
Chu Ji also agreed very much, but he spread his hands helplessly:
"If it is a simple carpenter, our family have one, but the waterwheel requires higher skill which we don't have"
Xiahou Xing said:
"It seems we have the trouble The Zhao family"
Chu Ji lowered his voice and said:
"Xiahou, isn't this a good thing?"
Xiahou Xing was stunned:
"How can this be a good thing?"
Xiahou Xing thinks that whatever can be solved by their family didn't need to seek help from outsiders, plus it'll probably cost money they simply don't have and sometimes it takes not only money, but also a favor.
Chu Ji shook his head:
" Xiahou, the god, has been living in Zhaojiazhuang. Don't you think we can visit the god every time we go to Zhaojiazhuang to seek help?"
"Although we can't serve the god, it's good to get familiar with him."
Hearing this, Xiahou Xing's eyes lit up. Yes Why didn't I think of it.
"Chu Ji, you are quite clever. It seems that we should communicate more with the Zhao family in the future. "
The two smiled at each other with happy smiles. Since there's no water wheels, In order to restore the fields and apricot fields as soon as possible. Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing selected hundreds of people from the women and children in the current village.
Let them use buckets to carry water from the wireless water source into the ditch. Of course, this is just a temporary measure. When all the men return to Xinghua Village, they can take over.
While doing this, Chu Ji sent someone to bring a two-horse carriage but the two horses are not strong. Instead, they look a little skinny but that's normal. They could barely get a full meal, much less horses that can eat the amount of food for ten people a day. So the Chu family raising horses is already an achievement in the surrounding area.
Chu Ji bowed to Dian Wei:
"Brother Dian Wei, I'm sorry, the conditions are limited."
Dian Wei also bowed his hands in response:
"Chief Chu Ji, this is already more than enough, I am very grateful."
Chu Ji nodded slightly, and then said to Chu Yan beside him:
"Yan'er, stock up on dry food, then go with Brother Dian Wei, don't waste time on the road."
Chu Yan patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Dad, rest assured, I won't fail!"
Chu Ji shook his head and looked at Dian Wei:
"Brother Dian Wei, please take care of my son on the road."
Dian Wei patted his chest:
"Chief Chu Ji, don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt your child."
Thinking about Dian Wei's martial arts value, Chu Ji was relieved immediately. Afterwards, Chu Yan went back and got enough dry food for two people to eat for a month and put it in the carriage.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he took Dian Wei and set off south. After Dian Wei left, Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing also got busy.
As the head of the family, they had to lead by example. The two of them took the young and strong who had just returned, and some of the women and children to the infinite water source.
They had to move water into the ditch with buckets. Freed from the restrictions of MC rules, the water flow was no longer restrained, flowing along the ditch into the land in all directions.
Yun Yi took Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan around Xinghua Village. Finally, they returned to the vicinity of the infinite water source. Watching the thin bodies struggling to move water into the ditch.
Compared with the highly developed productivity society in later generations. The conditions of the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were too difficult. If another famine occurred and the court did nothing.
Then displacement and corpses will fill these grounds.. It is a true portrayal of an era, Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"This world is full of suffering people."
Zhao Yun said on the side: "My Lord, don't blame yourself, at least after you came, you've given many people hope."
That's….right. Look around carefully, the women and children, young and old who are carrying water around the infinite water block. Their eyes are full of joy and hope.
Even if it is very hard, their faces are still filled with happy smiles. I have to expand my influence. Maybe I can't save all the people in the world but if I can save one more, it's a victory in his book.
Yun Yi called Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing over, they were carrying water just now so their clothes have been soaked with sweat.
"My Lord, what can we do for you?"
Yun Yi nodded: " my work here is done so I plan to return to Zhaojiazhuang with Zhao Yun. Before returning, I have three things to say"
Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing immediately showed a respectful look:
"God, please speak."
Yun Yi said:
"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. First, I hope you can discharge some water into the Hutuo River when you can."
Although compared with the huge flow of thousands of tons per second in the original Hutuo River. The water discharged from Xinghua Village is just a drop in the bucket. But, like sand, little by little it'll become big enough.
Draining a little more will eventually make the downstream better. At the very least, it can save one or two more people with this water. At the same time, when he returns to Zhaojiazhuang, he will ask the Zhao family to do the same.
"Second, if there are refugees passing by you, you can help them if you can, and if you can, try to guide them to Zhaojiazhuang."
Of course, Yun Yi can't rely on the Chu family and the Xiahou family to do charity. You know, when the statistics were counted in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were still tens of millions of people in Daxia.
However, in the Three Kingdoms period, In just a few decades, the population of Daxia has been reduced to less than 10 million. You can imagine how bad the famine situation is.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there are corpses piled up everywhere. In this case, even the top aristocratic families cannot provide relief to so many refugees.
Not to mention that the Chu family and the Xiahou family are just ordinary families at the regional level. So in the end, he had to do it himself. He can try and use the extremely fast crop growth feature of MC in order to provide relief to the refugees.
Chu Ji and Xiahou Xing nodded: "No problem, Lord God,"
Yun Yi nodded slightly and continued: "The third and the last point, what kinds of grains do you have here?"
If you don't add modules, the types of crops in MC are limited. Many of these crops are native to America and were not introduced to Daxia until the Ming and Qing Dynasties so he had to first ask and see what crops could trigger MC rules in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
