Chapter 29: Boundary Heart Stone Dry Tree Mountain
After Li Ji was settled, Zhao Zhen practiced the land and water sword skills with Jiao Ting again.
The weather was getting hot, so Zhao Zhenrang placed tea, water, fruits and vegetables under the willow tree to invite Jiao Ting and Bao Xu to cool off.
Unconsciously chatting about Jianghu affairs, Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Bao Xu, I heard Brother Jiao Ting talk about your dry tree mountain a few days ago. It is full of dead trees and yellow buds everywhere, but it has always been like this. "
Bao Xu said: "That's not true. My younger brother was originally from Kouzhou. He was disliked by many people because of his ugly appearance. He killed someone in a fight and broke in to escape the lawsuit. I went to Dry Tree Mountain. There were two strong men on this mountain, but they were not good enough and were killed by me.
I saw two thatched houses built on the mountain here and several acres of thin farmland, so I took advantage of the situation and occupied this mountain. This mountain has no name, it is no different from other mountains. Unexpectedly, the water shortage in this area is severe, and sometimes there are not even two rains in half a year. At the same time, the soil on the mountain is thin, and I am not good at farming, so all the crops I planted withered.
The grass and trees on the mountain gradually withered and turned yellow, and I only lived by robbing some goods. As time went by, the world around me called this mountain the Mountain of Dead Trees, and called me the god of mourning. Slowly, thirty or fifty people gathered together. Since the reputation of the Sang Men Shen spread, fewer and fewer people passed by Dakushu Mountain. It was impossible to feed so many people, so half of them dispersed, and there were only twenty people left on the mountain. A few minions can barely make ends meet.
It happened that brother Jiao Ting recommended him and the village owner sent a letter, so he abandoned Kushu Mountain and came to join the village owner. "
As he said that, he took something out of his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhen: "Look, Master, I got this thing from Dry Tree Mountain. It is of no use to me now, so I offer it to the Master. ”
Zhao Zhen took it and took a look.

Jiexin Stone (the fantasy world was annihilated, gathered into stones, fell into the mist, and became a world again)
Zhao Zhen was surprised and asked: "Brother Bao Xu, "Do you know what this thing is?"
Bao Xu said: "I don't know, I have been in Kushu Mountain for a few years, and I have become familiar with this mountain. One day, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, breaking a huge boulder on the mountainside. , only this thing was left on the ground when I went to see it. From that day on, the mountain became more and more lifeless. Many people on the mountain said that this place was unknown, and many people left. "
Zhao Zhen said: "People have longevity. , the earth has Qi. When the life is exhausted, it will die, and when the Qi is dispersed, it will be the core stone of the world's demise."
Jiao Ting, Bao Xu looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Jiao Ting couldn't help but ask: "Is this thing useful?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Of course it is useful. This place is also a small world. If you manage it carefully, you can get luck. Use luck to dispel the fog. , it can expand the world. Then there is the world heart stone, which can be activated by luck and can also expand the world. I heard that this world heart stone is extremely difficult to generate and is rare in the world. I didn't expect to see one today. How lucky I am. .
Brother Bao Xu, the Jiexin Stone is very important to me. I am ashamed to accept it.
Brothers Guanghui, Han Bolong, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu can help me. Why worry. You can't start a business and turn a village into a township, a county, or even a country."
After hearing this, Jiao Ting and Bao Xu patted their chests and said, "I am willing to serve as a soldier. Follow the owner.”

Bao Xu’s sincere devotion will give him Luck +2.
While the three of them were chatting, Bao Xu said, "I don't know how big of a realm this world heart stone can create? How big of a change would this change the world?"
Jiao Ting also echoed.
Looking at the two people who were looking forward to it, Zhao Zhen said: "I'm afraid there is a lot of movement, and I don't know if there will be a disaster. We still need to make some preparations for safety."
"Guang Hui and Han Bolong should be back in the next two days. When they come back and gather everyone's strength, there will be disasters, and we should be able to deal with them. Ordinarily, we should have merit in expanding the world." As he said, There was a commotion outside the village, and Zhao Yuanli came to report that Master Guanghui and his party were back.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen, together with Jiao Ting and Bao Xu, got up and walked outside the village.
After reciting the etiquette, Zhao Zhen took Bao Xu and said to Guang Hui: "This is the strong man that brother Jiao Ting mentioned last time, the mourning keeper Bao Xu." Guang Hui shouted: "What a big man. "
Zhao Zhen took two steps back. Sure enough, the four heroes, Guang Hui, Jiao Ting, and Han Bolong were all eight feet tall. Even in the main world, they were the most powerful men Zhao Zhen had ever seen. , Bao Xu is nine feet tall, and when placed among the villagers, he really looks like he stands out from the crowd. It’s just about appearance, so don’t mention it.
Bao Xu also arrived: "What a great monk." The four heroes stood together, looked at each other, and laughed.
At the moment, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yuanli to hand over to Zhao Ji, and he and the four heroes went to drink in the east courtyard.
Zhao Zhen arranged for the kitchen to kill sheep and pigs in preparation for the feast. At the same time, everyone was asked to clean up.
After a while, everything was ready, ready-made snacks were moved out first, and then vegetables, fruits, fish, chicken, duck, and pig samples were moved out. They are all placed under the willow tree in the east courtyard. After everyone had washed, they dusted their palms with dustpans and sat down in the circle.
Zhao Zhen raised his glass to Sanxun, sat down and said: "Today we are all here to welcome Bao Xu, secondly to thank Brother Guanghui, Brother Han Bolong for their hard work in traveling back and forth, and thirdly to thank Jiao Ting Brothers take care of the village, and we will not return home until we are drunk today." Everyone cheered and raised their glasses.
Everyone had five or seven glasses of wine. Zhao Yuanli came to report and said: "Master of the village, everything has been handed over clearly..."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Yuanli, saying: "Let Zhao Ji pack up to accompany him and accompany him to protect Zhuang Ding. They were all given a pot of wine, a chicken, and two days of rest. The villagers they recruited were arranged to stay and rest for a while. Zhao Yuanli agreed and went to make arrangements.
All the heroes drank until midnight. The next day, there was another banquet to celebrate.
For two days in a row, Zhao Zhen saw that everyone had rested, so he took out the Boundary Heart Stone, summoned four heroes and said: "I will activate the Boundary Heart Stone today. Brothers, grab your weapons and be careful. Just in case something unexpected happens."
After breakfast, Zhao Zhen and the four heroes each armed themselves with weapons and headed to the northwest with Zhuang Ding. Zhao Zhen thought about it for two days and chose this place. There is a large lake to the north and mountains to the west. Placing it here should have the least impact on Xixi Village. Zhao Zhen also had another consideration. If the fantasy world he created was Dry Tree Mountain, facing the big lake, it would always be more convenient.
When we came to the border of the mist, we laid out pigs, cattle and sheep, and burned a lot of paper to offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth. Zhao Zhen is in the middle, with Guang Hui and Han Bolong at the top, Jiao Ting and Bao Xu at the bottom, and everyone stands still. Zhao Zhen took out the boundary heart stone, activated it with luck, and threw it into the air.
But I saw the fist-sized Boundary Heart Stone flying into the fog. I heard a rumble, the fog receded, and a high mountain appeared in front of everyone.
Jiao Ting shouted: "Isn't this the dry tree mountain?" Bao Xu also shouted: "This is the dry tree mountain."
Everyone looked and saw that the mountain was indeed full of dead trees. Looking from a distance, there is a small village on the mountain with fifty or sixty houses scattered in the village.
