"These idiots." Tu Shi sat down in frustration.

Lu Lingchuan was holding the ink fountain line to see if the wall tiles were crooked, and said casually: "It's hard work." ”

Ever since he found traces of a mysterious monster in the cave, Tu Shi was highly nervous. He used the cave as a starting point and searched the trails, discovering that it stretched all the way to the dense mountain forests to the south of the Cave Field. Either there was a big monster, or he misjudged. He reported to the Qi family steward with a rather credible attitude, hoping to suspend the project or call more nursing homes to strengthen the security force, but the Qi family steward vetoed: the Qi family wanted to rush the construction period, but did not want to spend too much on such a trivial matter.

Tu Shi had no choice but to report the situation to the captain who led the team. Wu Chang replied in embarrassment: "Alas, you don't know how much the old man of the Qi family has done for this post station?" You leave the city lord's mansion with the front foot, and he will ask the city lord for fat with the back foot! I'm not afraid to be honest with you, even I charged a little favor fee from his family, Master Qi is bound to win this time, even if it rains, he will build a post station, not to mention a beast that doesn't know whether it's true or not. You don't have evidence now, don't bewitch the people and shake the morale of the army anymore! ”

Commander Wu accepted money from people, and military discipline was corrupted like this, and it seems that he still said such grandiose words as "shaking the morale of the army". Tu Shi had no choice but to retreat and discuss with the craftsmen to see if the craftsmen could go back to the city to rest in the evening and come back the next day, but the result was vetoed. The post station system of this dynasty stipulates that the post station must be twenty-five miles away from the city, and the craftsmen must go back and forth fifty miles every day? What a waste of time! In addition, the housekeeper of the Qi family requires to work at least five hours a day, is it possible that the craftsmen set off from the city before dawn and rush home at night after dark? Wouldn't it be better to accidentally fall into a poison ivy hole? At this point in the discussion, Tu Shi himself ruled out this idea.

Just like modern construction site workers, one of the preparations for the long-term construction of "Qiankun" craftsmen is to build a shed for themselves, so that they don't sleep in dew. The shed is erected in the lobby of the future post station, and the walls are built on all sides, which is the first guarantee for craftsmen; The stinky horses were tied to another shed more than twenty meters to the south, and it was common sense that people and animals did not live together, even in such humble conditions; A well was drilled next to the post station, and it was very convenient to get water; There is a poison ivy hole in the northeast corner and southwest corner of the post station, this tricky situation is not mentioned in the construction drawings given by the government, but it is difficult to be full of wisdom of the working people, the craftsmen dug the aqueduct, the excavated soil is filled into the hole in the southwest corner, and then the hole in the northeast corner is transformed into a septic tank for thatched toilets, which is used as fertilizer, and then the post pawn can fish out pure natural pollution-free and non-toxic fertilizer from the septic tank; A circle of insect repellent powder was sprinkled around the perimeter of the camp, which was made of sulfur, lime, and plant ash, and was said to be effective against poison ivy.

The construction materials were almost used up, so Tu Shi repeated the previous process, took people back to the city with the carriage, loaded the things and rushed over...... This was repeated until the evening when all the craftsmen stopped working. The ancients worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, but the players were different, Tu Shi had already had enough of such a tedious task, and quickly returned to the city. Lu Lingchuan said that he was going to go on a date with his girlfriend at night, so he didn't go back with Tu Shi, and chose to go offline, and people with an ID like "Kuaishou Little Lingtong" actually have girlfriends.

"Master, I'm running out of real qi again!" Tu Shi sat down in front of Haiqing Zhenren. He didn't actually kill a few poison ivy today, but in order to brush up his skill proficiency, he took turns using [Cang Pupil], [Arrow Step], and [Shrinking the Ground into Inch], and consumed his true qi to seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and only one or two percent was left to save his life.

Haiqing is really humane: "Today you are going to learn the scriptures with me." ”

"Learn what?"

"Taishang Lingbao Five Symbolic Sequences."

"Huh?" Tu Shi felt that he could understand every word, but when they were connected, it was like listening to English.

Haiqing Zhenren repeated patiently and said: "It is mostly called the "Lingbao Five Rune Sutra", referred to as the "Lingbao Sutra". When listening, close your eyes and think, and do not slack off. ”

Tu Shi had a bitter face: "Master, can you not chant the scriptures, isn't it good to teach me some serious spells at this time?" "I'm here to play the game, how can I get into the game and study!

"As a Taoist priest, how can you not read the Taoist scriptures? "Taishang Lingbao Five Symbolic Sequence" is stored in the cave of "Orthodox Daozang", which is most suitable for beginners to do morning and evening homework. ”

"Do you have to do your homework in the morning and evening?! Hahaha, it seems to be very good, oh master, I have something to go out for, and I'll come back tomorrow-" Tu Shi suddenly couldn't speak anymore, and his upper and lower lips were pinched by an invisible external force, pinched as flat as a duck's mouth. Not only that, but his hands involuntarily made marks on his lower abdomen, and his back was stiffly straightened; [Dragon's Breath] was naturally activated, and the lungs swelled to the extreme, and then compressed to the extreme, two seconds at a time, two seconds at a time, frantically absorbing the smoke all over the room.

Haiqing Zhenren didn't care about him, and recited in a clear voice: "The so-called avenue is high and supreme, leading to look up, and it is supreme, and you can't see its head; The so-called avenue is humble and has no bottom, and there is no bottom to look down, and there is no bottom under it, and there is no basis for it. ”

Tu Shi understood the word "up and down", and thought to himself what was going on up and down, did he make a love action movie.

"There is no beginning, and there is no one to see the first. In the end, there is no end, and there is no follow-up. Heaven and earth are born in the middle of the avenue, and heaven and earth have the honor of superiority......"

The first few sentences of Tu Shi can still understand the words "up and down", who knows that this scripture is long, there is no way to understand the third word, the more he listens, the more he wants to sleep, but he doesn't dare to sleep, now he listens to a scripture and will be rectified by the tutor, if the tutor finds himself asleep, then it has to be? Let's find something to distract you...... Well, "nine mouths and eight laws"!

So, Haiqing Zhenren recited the Taoist scriptures while Tu Shi recalled the scene of the practice in his mind. Oops, this sword stabbed off, oops, it didn't split well just now...... Thinking about it, I actually got through it for him. This is exactly what it is:

There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book; The master talks about the Tao of immortality, but why doesn't the kid study?

After reciting the scriptures, Haiqing Zhenren made a decision, allowing Tu Shi's body to regain his freedom, so Tu Shi hurriedly escaped from the right wing, and almost hit his head on Yi Wuya, who was standing in the atrium and laughing badly.

"Master, you, what do you want?"

Tu Shi is afraid that Master Zuo will also come to cramming education! He clearly remembered that Master Zuo refused to suffer, Haiqing Zhenren taught for several hours a day, and Master Zuo also taught for the same time, half an hour was indispensable.

Yi Wuya smiled and patted Tu Shi on the shoulder: "Yes, you have made progress, you know how to review the old and learn the new, I didn't hurt you in vain!" Since you study hard, you won't be in today's class, but don't be lazy, and work hard next time, you know? After that, he laughed and went back to the room, but he spared Tu Shi.

Tu Shi was puzzled, could it be that Master Zuo had the skill of mind reading, and knew that all he was thinking about when he listened to the scriptures just now was martial arts? Also, when did you hurt me?

————————————————————————————————————

Early the next morning, Tu Shi rushed to the construction site of the Cave Wild Station, which was still about 500 meters away from the ground, and a soldier outside the construction site shouted: "Stop!" Who's coming? ”

Tu Shi thought to herself, I didn't see you so diligent yesterday, what are you doing today when you run out to bask in the sun one by one, are there any superior leaders to inspect? shouted back at the moment: "It's me, Yu Qingfeng!" ”

When I went to the construction site, the soldiers were like facing a great enemy, and the captain of the army led by him was even more pale; Although the craftsmen continued to work, most of them were restless, and one person obviously built the wall crookedly but did not know it, and still tried to build bricks on it. Nine out of ten people had dark circles under their eyes, and it was as if they were suffering from insomnia.

Tu Shi knew something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There was a horse that was poisoned."

Wu Chang, who had palpitations, took Tu Shi to see the corpse. The horse's corpse was lying on its side, its posture fixed at the last moment of its life, its hooves galloping and swaying, its muscles bulging and stiff, Tu Shi could imagine that the horse had been running and jumping wildly until he died. Wu Chang pointed to the two bowl-sized circular holes on the back of the dead horse's shoulders: "Although these two wounds look terrifying, they did not hurt the internal organs and muscles and bones, and they did not bleed much, they were not fatal wounds, they were actually poisoned." ”

Tu Shi was silent. He couldn't imagine any beast that could have made such a wound - could it be that a saber-toothed tiger had been refreshed here? Looking at the edge of the wound again, it turned out to be red and swollen, and the possibility of poisoning was indeed not small.

"When?"

"Last night, it was probably time! I heard a horse neighing, and I thought it was a thief, and when I came together, I saw the horse kicking and biting. It was also pitiful, because it was afraid that it would hurt people, so it never untied the rope, and as a result, it jumped for a full quarter of an hour, and broke the rope before it died. ”

"Are there any injuries?"

"No, but...... Another horse is missing. ”

What the!

"The missing horse is smaller, not as robust as this dead horse. But thanks to the dead horse's struggle, we picked up a few hairs, you see. Wu Chang handed over a roll of oiled paper, wrapped in a few jet-black bristles with a golden sheen, about a palm long, as thick as a steel needle.

Tu Shi couldn't figure out why, and asked: "Did the soldiers on duty last night ever see whether the night attack was a human or a ghost?" ”

Wu Chang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "The one on duty last night was dozing...... I've already reprimanded him! Alas, strong man, you are right, there are indeed monsters around here! ”

The situation is roughly as follows: last night, something attacked the construction site at night, killed a horse and robbed a horse, and fled immediately after succeeding, but I don't know if this thing is the same thing that trapped poison ivy. It will take a few days for the post station to be built, which also means that everyone's lives are exposed to danger, this time it is the horse that dies, and the next time it may be the people. Tu Shi was prescient and had long reminded everyone that it was not peaceful here, so now everyone wants to remember Beicheng.

At the moment when the crowd was surging, the steward of the Qi family stood up and shouted: "The construction period must not be stopped!" has delayed our family's major events, and none of you can eat and walk around! As long as the post station is built, I can't care if you fly to the sky, but if anyone dares to escape privately, I tell you, I am not a good match! ”

The faces of the craftsmen changed several times, probably recalling the Qi family's momentum in Yibei City on weekdays, and they could only swallow their anger.

After the steward made a majestic gesture on his toes, he slipped away along the wall without anyone noticing. Seeing that the steward was acting sneakily, Tu Shi followed behind, only to see that the steward found a place where no one was and knelt down and recited the words: "God bless, let the monster only eat these ignorant people, don't eat me, God bless, I will definitely give you incense when I go back......" Tu Shi was angry and funny. The steward is also a person who is afraid of death, but he has to reluctantly stay, it seems that the pressure from the master's family is too great, and he is cornered.

Tu Shi looked at the insect repellent powder circle that had been sprinkled outside the camp last night to prevent poison ivy, and suddenly made a discovery.
