Chapter 6 Ruins become scenic spots

The capital of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Imperial Palace of Dragon Tooth City.

In a huge martial arts arena, hundreds of dragon corpses are displayed among them, and the major powerhouses in the palace, civil and military officials, all come to watch with the emperor.

An old man in a cyan robe stepped forward to inspect the dragon corpse at the emperor's signal.

This old man is the number one master of the Imperial Palace, a ninth-order cultivator, his strength is extremely terrifying, and he is ranked among the names in the entire Eastern Continent.

The old man walked up to the dragon corpse and scanned the entire dragon corpse with his divine sense, and after a while, his face changed slightly and he walked in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, all the dragon blood in the divine dragon's body has disappeared."

"Impossible!"

The emperor's face changed greatly, the blood of the divine dragon is a rare tonic medicine in the world, and if it is properly concocted, it can prolong life and enhance cultivation after taking it.

The emperor originally hoped that after obtaining the divine dragon blood, he could make his cultivation go further and live longer, but he didn't expect that the dragon blood would disappear.

The emperor said angrily: "When the dragon fell to the ground, there was still dragon blood flowing out, and all the soaked stones and soil had been brought back, and the dragon did not stop along the way, and was directly brought back to the palace, how could the dragon blood disappear out of thin air?" ”

"Your Majesty, the dragon's blood has indeed disappeared, if you don't believe it, please see."

The light flashed in the old man's hand, and a black short sword appeared, and he followed the wound of the dragon corpse, and the dragon flesh that Gu Bei couldn't cut with all the methods before, was actually easily cut by this short sword.

The emperor stepped forward a few steps and checked carefully, and sure enough, there was no dragon blood at all.

The emperor's face became more and more ugly, and the atmosphere was very depressing, and the people around him did not dare to breathe except for the old man.

After a long time, the emperor gritted his teeth and said: "Check, give me a thorough investigation, we must find out who stole the dragon's blood, and I will punish him for the nine clans!" ”

The emperor was furious, and the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom also became an undercurrent, and countless palace masters poured out of the nest to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of dragon blood.

However, despite their investigation and torture of a large number of people, there was still no trace of the dragon's blood, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

If the emperor knew that the one who quietly sucked the dragon's blood was the black bead pendant that he gave to the six princes with a disgusted face, I am afraid that he would have to vomit blood and ascend to heaven on the spot.

……

Northwest Frontier, City of Thorns.

"One more bowl!"

In the canteen of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Wei used a sea bowl the size of a human head, and ate nine large bowls of rice in a row, more than a dozen catties of meat and vegetables, and before he was full, he went to fill another bowl.

The guards who were eating together next to her looked at her dumbfounded, and everyone seemed to be petrified, and their expressions froze.

After Gu Bei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. In my heart, it was like a horse, lying directly in the stone trough.

No wonder I came here as soon as I heard about Bao Eat Bao Zhu, this is too fucking edible, right?

However, Gu Bei did not regret it, although Ye Wei could eat more than a dozen people's meals alone, his strength was strong enough.

On the first day she entered the City Lord's Mansion, she knocked down all the guards, including the two first-order martial artists, with her bare hands in the name of competition.

If you add that pair of bronze war hammers the size of a single diameter basin, as well as the martial arts she cultivates, this woman's combat power is simply terrifying.

Gu Bei left the cafeteria and came to the backyard, where the young dragon was playing in the garden, the young dragon was growing at an amazing rate, and it would grow up every day.

Of course, its food consumption also increases with its size, and it has only been three days since it broke its shell, and it can eat five or six catties of mutton.

It is foreseeable that it will eat more and more in the future.

There are two big stomachs in the house, Gu Bei feels a lot of pressure, and he must find a way to make money as soon as possible.

After eating, Gu Bei took Ye Wei and the two first-order martial artists to walk around Thorn City, and he found that although the dragon corpse had been moved, outside Thorn City, there were still a steady stream of monks coming to visit the ruins.

"Visit the ...... ruins"

Gu Bei pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "There is a way to make money!" ”

"Follow me!"

Gu Bei took the three of them to the carpenter shop in Thorn City and found an old carpenter.

"Your Royal Highness, what do you command?"

The old carpenter was an ordinary person, and he looked cramped and uneasy in the face of the prince, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"The dragon that fell outside the city, did you see it that day?"

"Look...... See. ”

The day's prayer for rain was a big event, and almost everyone in the city of thorns went to see it.

"Do you remember what the dragon looked like?"

"Yes."

"Can you carve it out of wood as it looks like the dragon when it lands?"

When it comes to his profession, the carpenter is much calmer and more confident.

"I wonder how big His Royal Highness the prince wants to carve?"

Gu Bei thought for a while and said, "Carved a ten-zhang long, and then carved dozens of one-foot-long, three-foot-long, and five-foot-long strips respectively." ”

"It's easier to have one-foot-long, three-foot-long, and five-foot-long dragon statues, but this is a ten-zhang long dragon statue, which requires large wood splicing, and the old man can't do it alone."

"You can go to someone, the wood doesn't need to be good, but it needs to be insect and crack-proof, and the faster the carving time, the better."

Gu Bei took out two ingots of ten taels of silver, put them in the old carpenter's hand, and said: "This is a deposit, whether it is the salary or the material cost, I will pay you a lot, and this prince will count." ”

Originally, the old carpenter thought that he would have to pay money and paste labor, after all, when he helped the government, he suffered this kind of loss.

Unexpectedly, Gu Bei actually paid a deposit of twenty taels of silver at once, which means that not only does he not have to work in vain, but he also has a lot of money to earn.

With two large ingots of silver in his hand, the old carpenter's face glowed red.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, I will go to find someone immediately, and I will carve the dragon as soon as possible."

Gu Bei nodded and said, "Then let's start working, I'll go somewhere else first." ”

"Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, go slowly."

The old carpenter enthusiastically sent Gu Bei to the door, and then immediately contacted other carpenters, as well as his own apprentices, and began to look for wood to work.

Walking out of the carpenter's shop, Gu Bei went to find a craftsman who specialized in building a house, also paid a deposit directly, and then asked those craftsmen to find wood, go outside the city, and build a big wooden shed on the ruins of the fall of the dragon, covering the entire ruins, leaving only the front and back two doors to enter and exit.

In the end, Gu Bei found another painter and paid a deposit, so that he could paint the appearance of the dragon when it fell to the ground completely realistically, and the length should be large.

Ye Wei and the two first-class martial artists looked puzzled, His Royal Highness the Prince spent so much money, what was this for?

Gu Bei didn't hide it, and explained directly: "I plan to make the ruins of the fall of the Divine Dragon into a scenic spot, and those who come here need to pay one or two taels of silver per person before they can go in and watch." ”

Ye Wei and those two warriors, where have they ever experienced such a thing as being charged tickets to see the scenery?

A warrior couldn't help but say: "Your Royal Highness, the dragon corpse outside the city has been taken away, and even the soil stained with dragon blood has been dug up, leaving a big pit, who would be so stupid to spend a silver or two to see a big empty mud pit?" ”

Gu Bei said with a smile: "So, we have to transform the ruins into what they looked like when the dragon fell, carve a ten-zhang long dragon, put it into the pit, refill the excavated soil, and even sprinkle some 'dragon blood' again to truly restore the situation at that time." ”

"Finally, let's find a painter to draw the scene after the dragon fell to the ground and hang it outside the gate."

"If we spread the word a little more, maybe there are dropped dragon scales in there, or dirt soaked in dragon blood?"

"You say, if it were you, who had traveled thousands of miles, or even thousands of miles, and saw the painting at the gate, would you spend a tael of silver to go in and see what the ruins looked like?"

Ye Wei and the two martial artists were stunned when they heard this, according to Gu Bei's approach, if they didn't know the inside story, they really couldn't help but spend a tael of silver to go in and have a look.

Another warrior asked again: "Your Royal Highness, what are you used to carve those trumpet dragons?" ”

Gu Bei smiled, a little treacherous.

"After running so far and spending money to go in and see the ruins of the Divine Dragon's Fall, I can't help but brag to the people around me when I go back."

"So the question is, how do they prove that they really came, and not made it up?"

"Those trumpet dragons, I call them souvenirs, are made specifically for this problem."

"They only need to buy a dragon statue and bring it back to prove that what they say is true, and they can also let the people around them see what the dragon looks like."

"You say, if it were you, would you buy some souvenirs and go back?"

Ye Wei and the two warriors were completely suppressed, this six princes were not at all like the straw bales who only knew how to spend time drinking, eating, drinking and having fun in the legend.

How many people can come up with such a genius idea?

If he does this, it is really possible to turn a large pit that was originally useless into a remnant of the fall of the divine dragon that everyone is eager for, attracting a large number of onlookers.

And as the person who owns this ruin, there is no doubt that Gu Bei will make a lot of money!

If it's a straw bale, what are the others?

They gradually began to recognize Gu Bei's identity, and thought that he was probably wronged and misunderstood.

"His Royal Highness." Ye Wei couldn't help but ask one last question: "Those cultivators, they are not good at stubble, will they really pay for it obediently?" What if someone breaks in? ”

Gu Bei had already thought of this question, and he smiled: "That's why I hired you." ”

"Most people with high cultivation would not do such a humiliating thing for a few taels of silver. And for those with low cultivation, Ye Wei, are your two bronze war hammers ornaments? ”

Ye Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with a sinister face: "Your Royal Highness, I understand, whoever dares to mess around, I will smash his head!" ”

Gu Beida laughed, and took the people around the Thorn City for a while before returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

It didn't take long for the relics of the dragon's fall outside the city to start, and a large number of craftsmen and timbers were in place, and they began to work in full swing.

The two major families outside the city were very puzzled by Gu Bei's approach, what were these six princes tossing? How much money is burned?

They were all waiting to see the joke.

After the six princes burned the money, they would definitely ask them for help, just like the previous city lord.

When the time comes, they can regain the initiative, completely empty this unfavored Six Princes, and continue to control the entire Thorn City.
