Chapter 7: The Divine Dragon Ruins Open
Time flickered, and a month passed.
In the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Bei was training the young dragon to breathe fire.
The growth rate of the young dragon is amazing, in more than a month, it has grown from the size of a puppy to the size of a calf, and can eat more than a dozen catties of meat a day.
As the young dragon grew up, after Gu Bei accidentally discovered that it could actually breathe fire, he began to train it to control the ability to breathe fire, lest it burn down the house.
"Dragon Flame!"
"Whew!"
The young dragon pondered for a moment, and opened its mouth to spew out a flame more than a meter long, and the temperature was frighteningly high.
"Close!"
As soon as Gu Bei gave an order, the young dragon immediately closed his mouth, and the flames disappeared.
"Ao Xing is so smart!"
Gu Bei rubbed the head of the young dragon, which had grown to the height of his chest, and then took a piece of beef from the side and sent it to the young dragon's mouth.
The young dragon bit the beef, chewed it a few times, tilted its neck and swallowed it, and then looked at Gu Bei with a blank eye.
"Okay, let's do it again."
Gu Bei constantly trained the young dragon Ao Xing to breathe fire, and he was rewarded for breathing fire when he heard the command, and he would punish it if he sprayed it indiscriminately.
Although the young dragon is only more than a month old, its IQ is very high, and it often remembers what Gu Bei says once.
"Babbling ......"
After training a few times, the young dragon suddenly screamed and twisted its butt a few times.
After getting along for a while, Gu Bei knew that this was going to pull dragon dung.
Gu Bei's face changed, and he pointed to the empty space that had been cleared out and specially piled up dragon dung and said, "Go over there and pull it, if you pull the ground again, there will be no meat to eat tonight." ”
As soon as the young dragon heard that there was no meat to eat on the ground, his big eyes widened, and he immediately took two long legs, quickly ran to the open space where dragon dung was piled up, and pulled a large lump of dragon dung, feeling refreshed.
"It stinks."
Gu Bei covered his nose and said, "I'll train here today, you can play by yourself, remember, you are not allowed to breathe fire, otherwise there will be no meat to eat at night." ”
The young dragon nodded, and then excitedly slipped somewhere else to play.
The City Lord's Mansion is large enough for it to play with at the moment, but it's hard to say if it continues to grow.
"Your Highness, the carpenters and masons ask to see you."
A servant hurriedly ran in and reported to Gu Beiyu.
"Okay, let them wait for me in the lobby, and I'll be right over."
"Yes!"
Although the servants felt that they were too worthy of letting the craftsmen enter the house, Gu Bei's character had always been like this, and he didn't dare to say anything if he treated everyone equally.
Soon, Gu Bei came to the lobby and saw the old carpenter and mason standing in the lobby, cramped and restless.
The carpenter said: "Your Royal Highness, the statue of the divine dragon has been completed, and according to His Highness's orders, the dragon's mouth and wounds have been painted with bloodstained red paint. ”
The mason said: "Your Royal Highness, the wooden shed has also been built, covering the entire Shenlong Ruins, and according to His Highness's instructions, the wooden door has been left before and after, please send someone to accept it." ”
"There's no need to send someone, this prince will personally go to the acceptance."
Gu Bei only took Ye Wei and the groom, rode in a carriage, and went out of the city with the carpenter and mason, and came to the ruins of the dragon falling to the ground.
The relics of the dragon, which is more than 100 zhang long and 30 zhang wide, have been covered with wooden sheds with the efforts of hundreds of craftsmen for more than a month, and the outside is also surrounded by wooden fences, leaving only the front and back two gates.
In front, a shack was also built, with a counter and two shelves, and the shelves were placed on the "souvenirs" that Chenbei said, and the large, medium, and small statues of the dragon were carved lifelike.
On the front door, there is also a large scroll painting, which the artist took ten days to complete, painting the scene after the dragon fell to the ground, the dragon corpse in the middle, the dark clouds and lightning in the sky, and the people watching below, all painted vividly.
During the construction of the Divine Dragon Ruins, the two first-order martial artists recruited by Gu Bei led more than a dozen guards to guard every day to prevent anyone from making trouble.
After some cultivators came over during this time, they found that the ruins were under construction, and they were puzzled and angry at the same time.
They came to see the ruins, holding a fluke mentality, hoping that they were the children of destiny and could pick up some relics related to the divine dragon, and from then on, they rose to the sky.
But now that the ruins have been destroyed like this, what else is there to see? What else can you pick up?
If they hadn't heard that this was something ordered by the Six Princes, they would have really wanted to beat up these mortals who were constructing.
In the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the deterrent power of the royal family is still very great, even if it is the unfavored Six Princes, ordinary cultivators do not dare to provoke it, for fear of attracting the revenge of the royal family.
Most of the cultivators who came during this period of more than a month had left, and only a small number of people who had done good things wanted to see what the Six Princes were doing.
It was not until today that the construction and carving were completely completed, and the debris in the construction process was also cleaned up, and the entire Shenlong ruins were completely renewed, attracting many onlookers.
Gu Bei walked around the built ruins, and was quite satisfied with the results of the transformation, especially the ten-zhang divine dragon, although it was not as shocking as the hundred-zhang dragon corpse, it was also a more realistic restoration.
The wounds and corners of the dragon's mouth, the statue part is painted red, and the ground is sprinkled with the blood of some livestock, which is relatively high.
After turning around, Gu Bei felt that it was already possible to open in this way, and if there were many people who came to watch it in the future, it could be improved.
"You have done a good job, this prince announced, the acceptance is qualified! Later, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion and find the housekeeper to settle all the wages and material costs. ”
"Great."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."
The carpenters and masons are very excited, and they generally work for the government, always picking flaws and deducting wages, but the six princes are different, not only pay the deposit first, but also complete the acceptance very quickly, and the wages are not in arrears and are not deducted.
The old carpenter said excitedly: "Your Royal Highness, if you have any work in the future, you can hand it over to the villain, and you will definitely be satisfied with it." ”
"I'm the same." The masons chimed in.
"Okay, I'll call you if there's something, go back, tomorrow the Shenlong Ruins will open, and the first three days will be free of charge, everyone can come and cheer."
"Definitely, definitely."
After Gu Bei finished the inspection, he returned to the city by car satisfied.
Those craftsmen also got their wages and material fees as they wished, and praised the kindness of the six princes when they met people, which improved Gu Bei's reputation to a small extent.
In the year 2531 of the Eastern calendar, at the end of the third month of spring.
The dragon ruins outside the City of Thorns are lit up, and in the sound of firecrackers, it is lively and lively.
Because the first three days are free of charge, and this is the first property purchased by His Royal Highness the Prince in Thorn City, the wealthy merchants and ordinary people in Thorn City have come to cheer, and the front of the dragon ruins is simply crowded with people, very lively.
Gu Bei came to the gate of the ruins in person, and in front of everyone, cut the ribbon.
"I announce that the Shenlong Ruins Scenic Area is officially opened!"
"Good!"
The crowd erupted in a tsunami of cheers, whether it was sincere or cheering for the six princes, in short, everyone was shouting, and they seemed to be enthusiastic.
The gate opened, the crowd swarmed in, and Gu Bei's guards had to go over to maintain order.
Some cultivators who had temporarily stayed in Thorn City also went in to take a look with curiosity, and when they saw the dragon corpse statue, they were really much more shocked than the empty pit before, and they all felt that this trip was not a loss.
Some of these cultivators bought souvenirs outside the ruins, and the wealthy merchants of Thorn City, in order to curry favor with the six princes, also paid for them.
On the first day alone, dozens of souvenirs were sold out, and Gu Bei had to send someone to let the carpenter start work overnight and continue carving.
Although there was no admission fee on the first day, the sale of souvenirs made Gu Bei earn more than 100 taels of silver on the first day, which shocked the housekeepers and guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
This earning power is too strong.
Who would dare to say that the Six Princes are straw bales who can only eat, drink and have fun, they must go up and tear that person's mouth apart!
……
In Thorn City, the heads of the two families drank in the restaurant, and from time to time their eyes would drift to the dragon ruins outside the city.
The head of the Gu family is named Gu Wanquan, he is very fat, wearing a brocade robe, with a white face and a short beard, and he smiles when he sees everyone.
The head of the Hou family, named Hou Degui, was as thin as a monkey, with dark skin, a foot long beard on his chin, and a mean and cold face.
Gu Wanquan said: "This sixth prince really let him toss something." ”
Hou Degui sneered: "It's just the first day of opening, let's go and have a show, three days later, I will see who will go to that broken place." ”
Gu Wanquan laughed and said: "That's right, everyone just gives the six princes a face, after three days, it will be deserted, and when the time comes, he will have to ask for us." ”
"Drink and drink."
The two of them drank wine, although they said so, they were very unhappy in their hearts, because they swore that the six princes tossing in that big pit were just a waste of money.
But now it seems that this is not the case, the six princes can really make money from this, they are very uncomfortable, and they are all looking forward to the future of the dragon ruins no one will go.
