Chapter 103 Test the bottom line
The old man in the lead hurriedly saluted Yun Duo. Behind him was a man and a woman, and he also bowed to Yun Duo neatly as the old man's movements.@ At this time, Qingshu received the order and stood up. In the door, the clear voice of Jinchan reminded: "In the future, Qingshu will be presided over by Qingshu. Song Dalang, please explain the matter to Qingshu."
As soon as Jin Chan finished speaking, the building in the main building recalled a quiet and crisp sound of cloud boards. People in the yard heard the sound of cloud boards. Green trees, Biliu, Bixi, and Biting all stood up and saluted to the main building gate again.
Yun Duo was about to bend down to salute as Qingshu, Qingshu immediately pinched Yun Duo's shoulders and whispered: "Uncle Master, you don't need to salute."
After saying that, Qingshu quietly pulled Yunduo's hand, and then stepped backwards, holding Yunduo's hand down the steps. During this period, Yunduo also wanted to walk backwards like Qingshu, but was stopped by Qingshu. Qingshu insisted on letting Yunduo turn around. So Yunduo used his usual walking posture, shaking his hands and was held down by the backward posture of the green tree, and walked down the six steps.
When everyone walked down the steps, the main building once again heard the second crisp sound of cloud boards, so everyone continued to retreat and walked straight to the center of the courtyard. At this time, the crisp sound of cloud boards sounded for the third time... The sound rang seven times in total.
After seven steps, the main building's three-story building rose from under the steps a visible aperture. The aperture rose from the bottom of the building layer by layer and moved straight to the top of the entire building. The building layer sliding by the aperture became hazy, as if it was shrouded in a layer of ethereal fog, becoming faintly visible. It seemed to be true and illusory.
The last two crisp sounds of the cloud boards were heard continuously. After these two sounds, the cloud boards rang nine times in total. After the ninth time, the entire building became even more blurry, as if the existence of the main building was just a flat set board, and as if there was no building on the spot. It was just a fog...
This is probably the highest realm of the illusion array. Although I saw the existence of the building, I looked carefully and felt that it was just a common landscape poster drawn by hand...
Yun Duo was looking at the illusion array arranged by Jinchan Zhenjun. The man who was just called Song Dalang stood up. He saluted Yun Duo first. Then he introduced the two people around Yun Duo: "Little... Xiao, little boy, this person is..."
Mr. Song hesitated for a long time and finally decided on Yun Duo. The following words were said smoothly: "Young master, this is Wei Erniang, this is Song Lu. Wei Erniang is responsible for the internal affairs of Yuanluogu, and Song Lu is responsible for the foreign negotiations of Yuanluogu. I, Song Mingsheng, is the general manager of Yuanluogu.
Cough, little young master, Dongqianyuan has been packed up, you can move in at any time. Now there are four maids in Dongqianyuan. If the young master thinks it is not enough, or what else is needed. Just..."
General Manager Song paused for a moment and immediately continued: "Young Master just tell Su Zhi. Just let her notify me."
Although General Manager Song's attitude was respectful, he ignored the green tree.
Jinchan Zhenjun just explained that Qingshu is the highest-level person in Yuanluo Valley, but General Manager Song did not dare to buy Jinchan Zhenjun's account and used Yunduo to humiliate Qingshu. His introduction seemed to respect Yunduo. If Yunduo was really a child, he would probably have happily accepted the other party's respect... Unfortunately, Yunduo was not a child.
Yun Duo grinned and pointed at the Qingshu at General Song Mengmeng, and then took a look at General Song's reaction.
General Manager Song Mingsheng is in the middle stage of foundation building, and now his cultivation can only be said to be a little higher than Su Zhi, but if the two fight alone, Su Zhi will definitely defeat him. Wei Erniang and Song Lu are also in the middle stage of foundation building. However, these two people's cultivation is even worse than Bixi. However, Bixi is a fool who is not familiar with the world and does not have rich fighting experience, so if they really want to fight, this group of people has no chance of winning.
They want to make trouble, but they can only rely on Yunduo’s support, but will Yunduo participate in this infighting?
Qingshu seemed to have known that things would not go well for receiving Yuanluogu, but he was not worried.
Mr. Song was stupid. He thought he was old enough in Yuanluogu, so he had the right to make trouble for the affairs of Yuanluogu. He thought that everything about Yuanluogu now comes from his efforts, so Yuanluogu's career is his career... But he forgot: this is a powerful society, this is a hierarchical society.
In this society, no one has "his own career". Even Jinchan Zhenjun, who has a high enough status, dare not claim that Yuanluogu belongs to her "completely" - there is always someone with a higher cultivation level than her, who has the right to deprive him at will.
Now, Qingshu's cultivation level can completely crush General Manager Song. With his order from the Jinchan True Lord, if Yun Duo stands by and watches, then General Manager Song is just a clown.
When General Manager Song curled with Yun Duo, Qingshu took his hand and waited calmly for General Manager Song to finish his performance. Then he interrupted: "Okay, don't arrange other people on this main peak. Junior brother, you live in the east wing, Su Zhi lives in the west wing, and others will all retreat to the middle of the mountain. Junior brother, if you have any problems in the future, you can ask Su Zhi to go down the mountain to inform us, including what books you want to borrow, and any difficulties in your practice..."
The meaning of this is to ask Yun Duo not to leave the house, and even Mingchanyuan cannot step out, and the scope of activity is limited to this small courtyard.
Yun Duo took his hand and looked at Bixi with a smile. Bixi choked and quickly reminded timidly: "Uncle Qingshu, I see that there are not many houses on the hillside. You said we will all retreat..."
This idiot, now, what is the key question? Is it where you live?
Yun Duo interrupted: "This is a valley, and there seems to be no one living on the side peaks on both sides. Bixi and Biliu, you two can set up a house on each side peak and place all the people who have joined Yuanluo Valley this time on the side peak."
The key issue is to compete for the right to speak - Yun Duo must speak and must indicate his own proposition.
Mr. Song was stunned for a moment and immediately reminded: "Young Master, there is only one spiritual vein in this valley. The spiritual vein only has two spiritual springs. There are no spiritual springs on the side peaks. Build a cave on the side peaks..."
Yun Duo had not explained yet, Qingshu waved his hand and stopped General Manager Song: "It's okay, Biliu is good at refining alchemy. He recently invented a water refining technique that does not use elixir fire, but only uses various water-based spells to make elixirs. Bixi is good at refining weapons, and the various magic weapons he refined are very high-quality. Let them build a courtyard in Beishanfeng, so it is easy to recruit people to develop my Yuanluogu series of refining weapons and alchemy."
Qingshu told General Manager Song: The foundation-building cultivators he brought in had all had skills. In the future, Yuanluo Valley will encounter more and more troubles and exclusions as the master of his own valley goes into seclusion. At this time, two people with skill join Yuanluo Valley, which can at least ensure that Yuanluo Valley monks are self-sufficient.
Of course, Qingshu has another obscure meaning. He spoke out for Yunduo at this time to show that there is no conflict between him and Yunduo. He recognized Yunduo's order, recognized Yunduo's command over Bixi and Biliu, and recognized Yunduo's right to speak over the affairs in the valley. But...
Qingshu is not such a smart person. He restricted Yun Duo from walking out of the Cicada Garden, which came from the orders of the senior management. He accepted the strict order and was not allowed to disclose the content of the order, nor could he explain it to others.
He had to execute the order, but he really didn't want to conflict with Yunduo. So Qingshu was very entangled. He insisted that Yunduo confine Yunduo, but agreed to Yunduo intervene in managing the affairs of Yuanluogu - at least to manage Bixi and Biliu. These two people came for Yunduo, and they listened to Yunduo.
Yun Duo immediately realized this entangled attitude. He quietly let go. But General Manager Song misunderstood. He opened his mouth and thought for a long time - Qingshu's position changed. Is it a gap with Yun Duo, or...
General Manager Song suddenly felt refreshed. He bowed and replied with a smile: "Bixi and Biliu two senior brothers, since the young master wants you to build a villa in Fangfeng, how many people do you need? What materials do you need, just say."
Bixi and Biliu were completely unaware of the undercurrents just now. The two nerds heard all the conversations clearly, but did not notice the temptation and confrontation hidden in these conversations. At this moment, they were only very happy to hear that they could have their own family. They immediately turned their eyes to Yun Duo with a look of anticipation.
Yun Duo nodded gently and replied: "The mountains on both sides, you will choose the same location and build your own mansions. Well, I have the patterns here, what kind of buildings do you like..."
Yun Duo took out a jade slip from his arms... It is a good thing to cultivate immortality. The secret method of immortals can simplify many conventional steps, such as what kind of architectural pattern Yun Duo thinks of in his mind. As long as this spiritual consciousness is imprinted into the jade slip, various castle models will be automatically generated and stored in this jade slip.
In the jade slip, more than 30 miniature castles and small church patterns are stored... Of course, Yun Duo is not completely familiar with these castles, but he just has an impression of many castles - for example, he has seen related photos, so he has a rough appearance in his mind.
Then, wait until the shape of the castle is outlined, and then roughly imagine the pattern inside the castle based on the shape. Therefore, the generated spiritual consciousness will automatically perform logical calculations according to the requirements of Yunduo, and then outline the detailed details of the interior.
These miniature castles include Baroque architecture, French classical architecture, Gothic architecture, Romanesque architecture, Rockque style, Renaissance, Byzantine, Tudor, Victorian style... all kinds of styles are different.
The purpose of building these two castles was to open a processing plant... Well, this was actually due to Yun Duo's evil spirit. Originally, he made this suggestion to compete for his own right to speak. When he arrived for the first time, he had to make his own voice, even if it was a prank.
This is a bottom line test - Qingshu's bottom line, Manager Song's bottom line, etc.
Bixi and Biliu naturally didn't know these complex meanings, so the two of them chose... two castles full of animation styles, and then decided to build their own workshops on the mountain peaks on the east and west sides.
Among them, the castle chosen by Bixi is Iron Fortress. Because it is located on the west hillside, it is maliciously named Chiron Castle by Yunduo. In fact, the castle looks like the Hailar Castle in the video game, and the suspension bridge of the castle is also preserved. The suspension bridge directly crosses the valley and connects to the Iron Fortress on the east side.
Construction is an easy task for immortals. Various soil-type spells are cast, and the ground gradually rises according to everyone's requirements. After the soil is built into a castle, everyone will use spells to harden the soil, turning the soil into rocks, and the castle will be built.
That night, Bixi and Biliu lived in two castles. Next, the spirit gathering array was arranged, allowing the only spiritual vein of Yuanluo Valley to lead out two spiritual springs. The two castles each placed a spiritual spring spring, which was arranged in a font shape with the spiritual spring eyes that were originally used on the mountainside. Then, these three springs formed the three talent formation of the heaven, earth and man. This formation can not only ensure that the entire valley is full of spiritual energy, but also can be used to protect the valley.
This time, Yun Duo did not intervene in the work of setting up the three talent formations in Yuanluo Valley and migrating the two spiritual veins springs. This work was done by the Nascent Soul monk, especially the spiritual veins springs. Only the Nascent Soul has the ability. However, in this world, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Even if you pay high fees, Qingshu will do it. Fortunately, the two of Bixi and Biliu are missing nothing now, but there is no shortage of spirit stones.
The large-scale construction on the peaks on both sides lasted for about half a year. Except for participating in the initial planning, Yun Duo stayed alone on the main peak with Su Zhi for the rest of his life.
Now Yun Duo has known that the main building of Jinchan Zhenjun is called Mingchan Tower. This courtyard is called Mingchan Courtyard, and the administrative building halfway up the mountain is called Lihuoyuan. General Manager Song lives in Lihuoyuan (Interior Building). In addition to Mingchan Courtyard, the only external spiritual spring in Yuanluogu was originally in Lihuoyuan, and General Manager Song’s meditation room was inside.
Jinchan Zhenjun is an extremely tasteful woman. Perhaps she was born in the royal family and was used to various elegant styles of buildings. Therefore, the Lihuoyuan and nearby buildings have very elegant styles. The architecture and the natural environment are extremely harmonious, so the building itself is also a landscape.
Although the monks in Yuanluo Valley are not very strong, Jinchan Zhenjun is very good to their subordinates. Basically, every Qi-training monk in the valley can own a single-family building, and each building is connected to each other by flower paths. The open space in front of the building depends entirely on the owner's own wishes. Various flower trees are planted for decoration. Therefore, the building complex halfway up the mountain looks like a luxurious resort, full of low-key elegance and subtlety.
Each small building in Yuanluo Valley has its own name. The residential building located in Lihuoyuan also has its own name. It is called Mingdian Building. General Manager Song likes to call himself the "owner" of Mingdian Building. It is said that the architectural style of this Mingdian Building is close to the Zichen Hall of Song State, and Zichen Hall is the place where the Prime Minister of Song State handles official affairs.
Wei Erniang and Song Lu also live in Lihuoyuan. The single-family building is next to Mingdian Building. Three scattered small buildings form the front hall of Lihuoyuan. As for the atrium and back garden of Lihuoyuan, it is a place for monks from Yuanluogu to relax and play. Originally, Lihuoyuan has the only branch of Yuanluogu, the spiritual vein spring, so monks like to meditate here and use meditation as a leisure method.
Mingdian Building is also a three-story building and is very spacious. Manager Song also regards this place as a place for residence and office. In all the small buildings in Yuanluo Valley, not only the owner lives in it. Basically, each owner has to hire a few entourages to serve him. Some of these employees are mortals, and some are low-level Qi Refining Cultivators. They live with the owner, Yuanluo Valley never interferes with the owner's recruitment. Of course, the owner is willing to pay the employee a lot of salary, and Yuanluo Valley does not interfere.
There is never any love in the world for no reason. Qingshu supports Yunduo's proposal to build a large-scale construction project. After he built the Iron Fortress and the Chiyon Castle on both sides of the mountains, he saw that General Manager Song still had no intention of giving up the Lingmai Spring. He simply built his own house in the atrium of Lihuoyuan, and then asked the Nascent Soul monk to take action. In the name of building the Three Talent Formation, he moved the Lingmai Spring of Mingdian Tower to his home in the Qingshu Tower. At this point, he completely completed his control of Yuanluogu. As for General Manager Song's grievances, Qingshu did not care about it, Yunduo would stay in the door.
Jinchan Zhenjun is a single fire spirit root, so the spiritual vein where Yuanluo Valley is actually a fire spirit vein. The main trunk of this fire spirit vein leads to Chaoxia Bee - Chaoxia Bee is an active volcano. According to this volcano, Xuantianmen set up its own weapon refining and alchemy earth fire oven. The fire spirit vein of the fire spirit vein of the Erhuofu Castle can be regarded as the veritable "Iron Furnace" fort.
Because of this fire spirit vein, Yuanluo Valley is like spring all year round, and the temperature remains at around twenty-four degrees. However, this fire spirit vein is not suitable for the practice of water spirit roots, and the location of Mingchanyuan is the main branch of the fire spirit vein. There is no difference in daily life, but every year from the Dragon Boat Festival to the Double Ninth Festival, the qi of the yang is strong. Even if the elixir furnace is not installed in the Mingchanyuan, it still steams like a furnace.
However, the people in Yuanluogu tacitly forgot this point, and Yun Duo... could only pretend to be ignorant and endure this point.
Yun Duo needs a growth period, he needs time to digest the huge memories in Zhenjun Jin Xiang’s mind, he needs to learn more about common sense of cultivation, need to lie dormant and wait for the age of becoming an old man.
Life was passing slowly. Half a year later, Qingshu finished his work and sorted out the financial situation of Yuanluogu. Then he remembered to hand over the sect uniforms and the nameplate that symbolized the identity of disciples of the sect to Yunduo. For Qingshu, it was more than a hundred years ago that he had already forgotten the details of the entry.
So he came to Mingchanyuan and said as expected: "Junior brother, when I came back, I would help you register in the head office (where the head handles affairs). I will collect these things for you. I will collect all your monthly salary in the future. You don't have to be distracted, just practice.
Our Xuantian Gate Enemy Association has not recruited disciples. Only a few new sect relatives are introduced. Oh, Huang Wan'er, who comes with you, has been assigned to serve in Lingcao Garden. Biliu agreed with her that after three years of concentrated sect learning period, she would join Yuanluogu and worship under Biliu.
As for you, cough cough, anyway, Su Zhi is following you, and I have brought you the disciple tokens. I don’t know what Su Zhi will tell you. You don’t have to participate in the sect’s concentrated learning.”
After pausing, Qingshu continued: "In recent days, Bixi Biliu each recruited forty Qi training men. Twenty-two Qi training monks originally belonged to Yuanluo Valley joined their workshop, and fifty-eight outer disciples. Now, the alchemy training room they built their own and the tool training room has begun to be integrated. It is estimated that elixirs and magic weapons will be produced next month."
Speaking of this, Qingshu smiled proudly: "This, I want to thank my junior brother." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
