The wind crackled with the rain stars.

The wind and rain rushed down from the sky. The wind and rain are endless, as if in the rainy season of Dongyingzhou, the wind and rain will not dry up.

The rainy season in Dongyingzhou is so crazy, and the rainy days make this place wet and cold for months. Fortunately, the ghost clan does not have rheumatism, otherwise many ghosts will have red and swollen joints and difficulty moving.

The mountain is full of mud and mud, and the towering giant trees can't completely protect against the wind and rain. And the confluence of the three rivers to the north is also constantly rising.

The rushing river is like a grumpy beast, roaring again and again in the wind and rain, constantly setting off huge waves of several feet, in order to vent its anger.

But this bad weather did not prevent the craftsmen and military workers of the Nine Shadows Country from working in full swing in the southern foothills of the mountain range.

The felled trees were transformed into beams and pillars on the spot, allowing the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to erect strong and simple shacks in the mountains. also let some craftsmen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom start construction under the shack.

Looking at the craftsmen in the mountains, they are all responsible for their own duties. The one-horned mountain ghosts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will use their two pairs of powerful arms to easily dig out pieces of bluestone from the muddy mountain soil after the rain. Then the powerful mountain ghosts easily carried those boulders, and with a steady and vigorous pace, sent the boulders to the shack.

In the shack where the boulder was received, there were already stonemasons from the Nine Shadows Kingdom waiting.

Some of them took out hammers and chisels, and took their apprentices and assistants to carve the strange-shaped pieces of bluestone into stone bricks or stone steps of the same size and thickness with exquisite carving skills.

And some of the stonemasons are reggae in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. They don't use tools such as hammers and chisels, but can accurately control the ghost qi, turn into controllable lightning of any size at will, gather at their fingertips, use their hands as knives, and use sharp lightning to cut hard bluestone under the flashing lightning.

Then, the mountain ghosts will carry the cut and carved stone bricks and stone steps out of the hut and hand them over to the craftsmen who are paving the road in the mountains.

In less than two days, the foot of the mountain was paved to the mountainside with a solid mountain path composed of three stone steps, all built on the mountain, not slippery or muddy. In order to ensure a steady stream of construction materials, they can be transported smoothly to the mountains after being transported from all over the mountain at the foot of the mountain.

This is what Xiao Shizhu often says: make the best use of things, and make the best use of ghosts. It is in line with this principle that Julong first gathers the craftsmen and soldiers he can dispatch, as well as the soldiers of the army, and then makes them perform their own responsibilities according to their respective specialties.

In this way, these craftsmen, together with the various practical tools of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, have improved the construction efficiency of the Nine Shadows Kingdom here.

In the mountain shack that was built, in addition to the stonemasons, there were also the souls of the Zhurong clan and the torch ghosts with powerful appearances, like Bodhi trees, and torch ghosts who could spit flames in their mouths. These ghosts will concentrate the ore dug by the construction team outside the shack during the excavation, and then ignite the forging furnaces built in the shack, and continuously refine these ores into countless metal utensils for the construction team to use.

Of course, among the craftsmen who are in full swing here, there are also underground ghosts who are good at piercing the ground. This kind of ghost who is good at digging holes in the ground is the main force among the craftsmen who are commanded by Julong to build here. They are using their innate and proficient hole-making skills to start making holes in the mountains and forests according to the instructions of Julong.

These caverns will then slowly connect the dots into a line, and then block most of the exits, leaving only the entrance and exit of the dangerous place, and then in the middle of the mountain, connected to the underground fortifications and communication tunnels.

In this way, the garrison and the stored strategic materials can quickly maneuver to every fortress and position in the mountains and forests from any point anytime, anywhere.

In the mountains and forests covered by rain and mist, three or five fat-headed and big-eared underground ghosts could be seen gathering everywhere, and without using any tools, they used the four long hard claws on each of their hands to dig out the soil and rocks in the mountains.

This kind of ghost has a natural talent for punching holes, and has always been a master of laying the foundation for any building in the Netherworld, and was once called the most professional builder in the Netherworld by Xiao Shizhu. Their bodies are streamlined to reduce resistance to advance, and the eight very sharp, long, powerful claws of their hands keep digging. The front paws push the earth backwards from under the body, and the hind paws on the two hind legs work together to continue to push the earth backwards.

In this way, the holes that are arched one by one and can withstand a lot of pressure are quickly punched out.

Then the three-body ghost craftsmen who followed closely followed would follow closely behind the underground ghosts. Their three bodies and six hands will move at the same time, and they will immediately fix the hole in the ground. Four of them will move the wooden beams in and prop up the roof of the cave, and then use loess mixed with glutinous rice juice, lime and other materials to pile up the stone bricks on the cave wall. At the same time, the other body and the remaining two hands also went to the ground and began to lay bricks in the hole.

In addition to underground ghosts, there are also craftsmen who are digging holes and tunnels in the hard rock with drill-like things.

In this way, the mountains leading to the mountain are about to gradually connect the dots in the belly of the mountain, forming a secret passage that extends in all directions, vertical and horizontal, and is being built step by step under the fierce wind and rain.

Such efficient construction is the foundation that can make the infrastructure of Jiuyou Country quickly spread all over the country in the past and in the future. It is also an important element that can help Julong quickly build an impregnable pass.

At the foot of the mountain, Julong temporarily withdrew his gaze from the mountain, looked around at the craftsmen and sergeants who came and went in the rain and fog around him, and then looked at the mountain.

After a few glances, Julong silently calculated the construction period in the wind and rain.

After a long time, Julong withdrew his gaze and crawled back and forth on the muddy ground in the rain.

Muddy water splashed down the place where the snake's tail swam under his waist, and at the same time, according to Julong's calculations, such a large main peak was nearly a thousand feet high, and it would take a month to complete the construction. But Julong has come all the way to this place, and it is necessary to build such a large-scale pass, and there are several other places besides the mountain of Qiyi. Although the rainy season in Dongyingzhou is the longest place among the ten continents of the underworld. But only for a few months. Time is running out, Julong can't afford to spend too much time here in Fox Mountain.

He had to think of several ways to make all the new passes to be built at the end of the rainy season be accepted.

Otherwise, it would be to live up to Xiao Shizhu's entrustment and trust, and Julong did not want or be reluctant for such a thing to happen.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. Just as Julong frowned and meditated, his scribe raised his hand to cover his head, barely blocking a little rain from the sky, and rushed to Julong's side in the rain.

But there was still a lot of rain that could not be stopped, which kept flying on the scribe's face and soaking his face.

The ghost shouted in the wind and rain, interrupting Julong's thinking and making Julong irritable. But it was only a moment of irritability, and after a while, Julong calmed down again.

He turned to the scribe who had rushed to him, and asked unhurriedly, "What is it?"

"General Shuyan came, escorted the materials we needed, and also brought 3,000 workers temporarily recruited from all over Dongyingzhou, as well as the wages of all the workers in Dongyingzhou who participated in the construction of the pass. The scribe raised his hand, wiped the rain from his face, and replied with a smile.

Julong nodded silently, although his face was calm, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

When the money, food, and materials arrived, and the workers came with him, he could speed up the construction. How much for him to meditate, to ensure the quality while shortening the construction period, made a little contribution.

"Well, take me to General Shuyan. Julong said, told a few supervisors around him, let them be optimistic about the construction quality on the construction site, and followed the scribe to the construction base camp a few miles away from the foot of the mountain.

That place was originally an unowned wasteland at the bottom of the mountain, no more than a few miles in radius. The wasteland was overgrown with weeds and bushes, and now it had been cut down, leaving only earth and rock, and a makeshift warehouse built by the craftsmen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and barracks where the workers and sergeants lived.

It is also surrounded by horses as a wall, and a number of sentry towers have been erected.

Like the southern foot of the mountain, this place is also heavily guarded to protect the safety of construction workers and craftsmen here. At the same time, he also guards the ** and ** used to open the mountain. Once the project is completed, these sergeants will also be the first garrisons to be stationed in the passes of the region.

While Julong was busy with construction, the adjustment and change of the garrison stationed in Dongyingzhou were also being carried out at the same time, and to ensure that the pass he supervised was completed, he could immediately arrange for the garrison to be stationed there.

Ju Long followed the scribe through the barracks and came to his temporary office hall. Julong, who was standing at the door, took off the hat and coat one by one and handed them to the guards at the door, and then walked towards the tree swallow that was waiting for him in the depths of the hall.

The scales on the snake's tail moved in unison, and the rain flowing from its body sucked into the scales and turned into nothingness.

"General Shuyan, it's not been ten days since we met again. Julong smiled and walked towards Shu Yan, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea: "The affairs of your defense area are so busy, you can just send a junior general over if there is anything." It's raining, and you don't have to do everything yourself. ”。

The polite words of the sentence dragon thought in his mind: "It must be that there are other important things in the escort room in addition to **and**, otherwise Shuyan will not work tirelessly to run by herself." ”。

"There's no way, the supplies delivered to you this time are quite special. Sure enough, Shuyan's answer was roughly the same as Ju Long's guess: "In addition to a large number of ** and ** for you to use to open the mountain, there are also a lot of enchantment talismans." They are all fireproof and shockproof enchantments produced in the ordnance supervision of ordnance manufacturing, which are used to prevent the fox fire of the fox ghosts and ghost soldiers of the Qingqiu Fox Country. Can be used in the passes you build to strengthen the defenses of the passes. ”。

Julong sat opposite Shuyan, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "I remembered, I applied to the lord before I came, and I needed these materials." ”。

Julong can do everything in construction, and he has already thought of these things. It's just that he's been so busy lately, so busy that he has repeatedly compressed his sleeping time, but he has temporarily left this matter behind.

"There's another thing that you'll probably be happier to hear. Shuyan, who nodded slowly a few times, glanced at Julong who was overjoyed when he heard the Fu Seal coming, and said: "The lord and ** know that you are facing the dust of Dongyingzhou, a mountain full of solid stones and it is not easy to open the mountain, so I have transferred three thousand reggae soldiers to you, which are temporarily specially for you to deploy, and use the temple gods and ghosts that reggae are proficient in to help you open the mountain." ”。
