Chapter 97: Cao Pu (Three Watches)
On the earth, when ancient dynasties wanted to build palaces and build a large number of buildings, they would recruit people and criminals to work as coolies.
In the Nine Realms, the cultivation sects were like dynasties, as long as they wanted to, they could always send mortals to help them do things. This kind of thing has long been commonplace.
This is a system of exploitation at the class level!
The difference is that in ancient times, you could also rebel against this system of exploitation through uprisings, after all, both sides are human beings, and there is not much difference in nature, but here, you can't resist at all.
A cultivator, a mortal, the difference in strength is too great to resist.
If you don't obey the requisition, it will be miserable, and maybe some 'natural disasters' such as heavenly fires and meteors will befall you that night, and you will die 'accidentally'.
This kind of thing has been seen a lot for a long time, you know, there are too many means for cultivators to deal with mortals.
In contrast, Haoran Mansion's approach is already very benevolent.
Haoran Mansion built a palace, using slaves and criminals, and if the number was not enough, it would offer high wages to attract the poor and coolies to help, and both sides were willing to do so, without compulsion.
Qin Shou originally wanted to find some freshly dead corpses through the coffin shop, and use their faces to make a new human skin mask for himself.
His human skin mask was made when he was in the ghost world, and he used it when he was in the Huangquan Cave. He didn't know if the person behind the scenes had seen him wearing a human skin mask, but for the sake of caution, he decided to change his face and name to be safer.
Now it seems that this plan can only be put on hold for the time being.
Qin Shou: "Shopkeeper, may I ask where is the location of the fourth mansion of Haoran Mansion?"
Little boss: "In Lanshan." ”
Qin Shou: "How to get to Lanshan?"
The little boss: "Out of the city all the way to the east, three days away, probably you can get there, I heard that in a few days, Haoran Mansion will hold an apprenticeship assessment, if the guest officer wants to go, you have to buy a good horse, hurry up and rush over." ”
"Thank you. Qin Shou left the tea money and got up to leave.
The three-day journey is for ordinary people, with Qin Shou's speed, if he runs with all his might, he can reach it in just one day.
But after thinking about it, he listened to the words of the tea stall owner, bought a good horse in the city, and rode over.
On the way to buy horses, he met a group of people who went to Lanshan to see the excitement, so he followed them, chatting as they walked, and listened to what they said.
Of course, following these people, Qin Shou still heard something useful.
......
Lanshan, originally a barren mountain, although it is a verdant and full of life, but because the geographical location is too remote, it is inaccessible and deserted.
But as the news spread that Haoran Mansion was going to open a fourth mansion here, Lanshan immediately changed from a barren mountain to a lively place.
It stands to reason that it is normal to build a sect's mountain gate, at least three years and five years, and at most ten or eight years, especially for a gate sect like Haoran Mansion, and it will take at least ten years or so to build the fourth mansion.
At the moment, Wang Fuzhi is still in retreat and recuperation, and when he recovers from his injuries and consolidates his cultivation, it will be almost ten years later, and when he comes out, he will be able to go straight to Lanting Star and take over the fourth position of Haoran Mansion.
These are all already planned by Haoran Mansion.
Therefore, before Wang Fuzhi leaves the customs, he must take care of all the affairs of Lanting Star and keep it in order.
It is indeed not an easy thing to build a new mountain gate, from scratch and from chaos to stability.
As a result, the three masters of Haoran Mansion all discharged their most proud disciples and came to do this.
Yu Jingqiu, the disciple of the lord of Haoran Mansion, is also the biggest sovereign in the opening of the Fourth Mansion this time, and the other two are assisting him.
The second lord of Haoran Mansion sent his own closed disciple, Wei Pingyang.
As for the people sent by the Lord of the Three Mansions, they were his four proud disciples, the most respected Wuzhu.
"Wuzhu actually came. As soon as he heard this name, Qin Shou thought of the scene of seeing Wuzhu for the first time.
At that time, Wuzhu sat by the Lechuan River, stroking the piano with both hands, the sound of the piano was ethereal, elegant as a fairy, and that dusty temperament was really the only wonderful son in Qin Shou's life.
Wait a minute!
Qin Shou's mind flashed, and he suddenly reacted, could it be ......
"This benevolent brother, may I ask the name of Gao?" A voice suddenly interrupted Qin Shou's thoughts.
Qin Shou came back to his senses and saw a man traveling with him, greeting him with his fists.
Qin Shou smiled: "In Xia Ye Shou." ”
Man: "It turned out to be Brother Ye, who was hiding in Xia Cao, this is polite." ”
Qin Shou: "Brother Cao is polite. ”
Cao Xuan: "Seeing that Brother Ye has a deep breath, I think he is also a cultivator, could it be that Brother Ye also wants to worship Haoran Mansion this time?"
Qin Shou: "In the next intermediate scattered cultivation, the strength is weak, if you can worship a big sect like Haoran Mansion, there is a support, it is naturally good." I'm afraid that the entrance examination of Haoran Mansion is too difficult, and I can't pass it. ”
Cao Gui: "Brother Ye is modest, although the assessment of Haoran Mansion is difficult, but with Brother Ye's cultivation strength, it is not difficult to pass." ”
Qin Shou glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's hard to say whether you can pass the assessment in the next place, but look at you, Brother Cao, you are determined to win!"
Cao Pu: "I also do my best, as for success or failure, it depends on the will of God." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
Qin Shou obtained the second Golden Shield Fragment two months ago, took out the God of War Recipe Yuan Realm Chapter inside, and successfully broke through to the Yuan Realm through two months of cultivation.
The current Qin Shou, cultivation and strength are no longer what they used to be.
But when he probed this Cao Pu just now, he found that the other party's aura was strong, not under him, and he couldn't detect the depth of the other party at all, and his strength was amazing.
It seems that Haoran Mansion's open recruitment of disciples this time is more complicated than imagined, and the dark tide is surging.
At this moment, Qin Shou saw a group of people driving the carriage and approaching him, and when he got closer, there was a coffin on the carriage, and there were more than ten coffins added up before and after.
Qin Shou hesitated: "Looking at the direction these people are coming from, so many people have died, could it be that they are from Lanshan?"
Cao Pu: "Brother Ye's expectation should be right, I heard that Haoran Mansion recruited many mortals in order to build a new mountain gate, but Lanshan Mountain is too steep, and people often fall off the cliff and die, these people should have died when the mountain gate was built." ”
Qin Shou: "Since it's a dead person, why don't you go into the ground for peace?
Cao Concealment: "If it is a person who has no relatives and no reason, of course it is buried." The corpses that were transported out all had relatives, and Haoran Mansion ordered people to return the corpses to their relatives, firstly, to express apologies, and secondly, to make some additions and gain a good reputation. ”
Qin Shou nodded and said, "Even if it is for the sake of fame, Haoran Mansion is doing this thing, it can be regarded as a benevolent act." ”
Cao Pu: "This is natural, Haoran Mansion has a reputation for thousands of years, known as the first benevolent and righteous faction in the Nine Realms, not a waste of fame," read the latest chapter of the "Nine Realms War God Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
