Chapter 102 Moving Mountains and Creating Ponds! The Mad Old Eunuch!
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei was astonished!
Looking at the old eunuch before him, he said excitedly:
"Father-in-law, may I ask where this water comes from...?"
"Tai'an Pond, Jinshui Bridge," Chen Fan answered truthfully.
"It's all done."
Eunuch Wei was speechless.
He never expected that the old eunuch would be so audacious as to drain the water from Tai'an Pond and Jinshui Bridge!
This person is even more outrageous now, actually thinking of doing something even more unbelievable!
Unsure how to respond, Eunuch Wei sighed, thinking to himself that the Great Yuan Dynasty had produced a prodigy…
Just do it.
After Chen Fan, Ji Daozi, and Eunuch Wei explained their plan, they left immediately.
Otherwise, if this torrential rain continues, this bowl will probably turn into a fishpond!
……
In the stillness of the night, the Imperial Garden was completely silent.
After arriving here, Chen Fan looked around to make sure no one was there, and then walked towards Jingshan.
This is one of the scenic hills in the palace, which was personally commissioned by Emperor Hongwu.
The entire mountain was built from piled-up rocks, then inlaid with various types of soil, and planted with trees to form its current size.
When Chen Fan first entered the palace, he personally witnessed the process of this mountain being created from nothing.
Eighty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and few people remember the origin of this mountain!
"Our bowls are going to flood, don't blame us, life's tough for everyone..."
Chen Fan muttered something as he arrived at the foot of Jingshan Hill.
He then swiftly drew his longsword and headed straight for a place that resembled a culvert.
This is an internal passageway in Jingshan Park, which was formerly used to drain water to Tai'an Pond.
As the water level rose, the culvert was submerged, abandoned, and forgotten.
Now that the water in Tai'an Pond has dried up, the cave has naturally reappeared.
Walking through the muddy, damp soil, Chen Fan arrived at the culvert.
Upon closer inspection, the stone walls inside are covered with various aquatic plants and moss.
Even in the dirt piles in the corners, you can see some turtles, fish, shrimp and other creatures.
Having lost their water supply and been exposed to the air, they clearly do not have much time left.
Chen Fan, who had no time to care about their lives, swallowed hard and immediately walked into the passage.
He hadn't gone far when he saw rows of stone slabs, each five or six zhang long and three or four zhang wide.
These stone slabs were the foundation that Emperor Hongwu used to build Jingshan Park.
After being soaked in water for over eighty years, their stone surfaces are covered with green moss and various crustacean-like deposits.
Chen Fan smiled, a smirk playing on his lips, and drew his longsword without a word.
With his precise cutting, a stone platform was quickly carved out.
After confirming that there was no sign of the mountain collapsing, Chen Fan put it directly into a bowl.
Then he continued cutting the second and third strips.
After Chen Fan had hollowed out most of the stone slabs in one place, he moved on to a second location.
In this way, with his skillful cutting, almost all the stone slabs at the bottom of Jingshan Park were hollowed out!
Chen Fan, leaving only the largest stone slabs in the middle unremoved, turned and hurriedly left...
……
A world within a bowl.
The torrential rain still hadn't stopped.
With the continuous accumulation of water, the fields have begun to turn into paddy fields.
Seeing this, Eunuch Wei was filled with excitement.
He figured that if these fields were destroyed, wouldn't he be able to get out?
Just as he was having a sweet dream, Chen Fan suddenly appeared!
"You two come with me... let's surround this water together!"
Yes!
Owner!
Gokudoko is quite proactive!
Knowing he couldn't escape, he immediately walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Eunuch Wei had no choice but to follow behind.
After landing, Chen Fan ran straight to a large open space.
Without saying a word, he piled up the stone slabs he had brought from Jingshan on the ground.
"Extreme Child, use gravity magic to enclose them in a large pool!" Chen Fan commanded as he gave the order.
"Eunuch Wei, you're in charge of helping Ji Daozi, hurry!"
"Alright, Master!" As soon as Jidaozi saw that he had come in handy, he immediately started working hard.
"My God... has the mountain been hollowed out?" Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wei was filled with disbelief!
"What are you daydreaming about!" Jidaozi scolded.
"Get moving!"
Left with no other choice, Eunuch Wei had to become his assistant.
Jidaozi was responsible for using gravity magic to form a square around the stone slabs, and also to bring the water over.
Eunuch Wei was responsible for assisting in moving the stone slabs and doing some of the hard work.
Soon, the outline of a huge square pool appeared.
As the two men stored water, all the water from the field was diverted into the pond.
But the heavy rain continued, and the water level was clearly rising.
Seeing that there weren't enough stone slabs, Chen Fan hurriedly ran out again!
With several mountains still to be cleared, his eyes were full of enthusiasm!
The night passed quickly.
The rain in the bowl has stopped too!
Lying on the edge of the pool, Yoko was too tired to even speak.
Eunuch Wei was even more listless and pale.
Chen Fan was also exhausted and sat blankly on the pool, soaking his feet.
Looking around, a square pool, fifty feet wide and fifty feet long, came into view.
Through their tireless efforts, almost all the water from the fields was diverted here.
Without the gravity technique, Chen Fan wouldn't know how to accomplish such a feat.
"You've worked hard, Jidaozi. Here, we'll reward you with two sweet potatoes. Eunuch Wei will have the same."
Thank you, Master!
Upon hearing that there would be sweet potatoes to eat, Jidouzi immediately felt that all the hard work was worth it!
"Eunuch, is nothing wrong at the palace?" Only Eunuch Wei asked with a bitter expression.
"It hasn't collapsed yet!" Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing!"
Eunuch Wei fell silent.
He hadn't been out for so long that he had no idea what the outside world was like!
Now, after all that commotion by the old eunuch, he's starting to doubt if the palace is even left!
have a break.
Chen Fan straightened up and said:
"The pond is still short of fish... Let's go out and get some fish fry; we can't waste this water..."
After saying this, Chen Fan left in a flash.
Upon seeing this, Jidaozi, who was lying by the pool, ran into the field without looking back.
His mouth was full of drool as he laughed loudly:
"Sweet potato... I'm here, delicious sweet potato!"
……
Go back inside.
Exhausted, Chen Fan stretched and quickly changed into clean clothes.
Having spent the entire night in the water, he smelled damp all over.
Meow…
Xiao Hua, who had returned from her wanderings, glanced at the old eunuch and habitually ran up to him and nuzzled against him.
Too lazy to pay attention, Chen Fan stroked the cat's back and then pushed the door open to go out!
It's already 3:45 AM!
It's already light outside!
Chen Fan squinted at the sky and walked step by step into the kitchen.
"Godfather, you've arrived! Something terrible has happened in the palace!"
As soon as Xiao Dengzi saw his godfather arrive, he quickly moved closer and said:
"We heard from the eunuch of the Ziji Palace that the water in Tai'an Pond and Jinshui Bridge has dried up for no reason. The Imperial Observatory said that this is an ominous sign!"
His Majesty, however, said that this was the work of the treacherous Changchun Sect members, and that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was arresting people everywhere!
