Chapter 171: Status Quo
(Home was cut off from the network for two days, and telecom really didn't do anything...... I can't update, and my heart is scratching my heart!)
Early in the morning of the second day, Yin Ji came to say goodbye to Zhuang Zhou. Zhuang Zhou confessed a few more words in the main hall of Yunmeng Pavilion, and watched Yin Ji leave.
Here, Li Li had also been told that he wanted to return to Qixia Village to be the village head, he was both happy and panicked, and knelt in front of Zhuang Zhou to thank him. Zhuang Zhou said with a smile: "Li Li, you are the village chief, you are fat, Li Qiaosheng's thousands of acres of fertile land, as well as mountains and forests are all yours, you have to do it yourself! Don't learn from Li Qiaosheng's ......."
Li Li let out a cold sweat, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "How dare Li Li! From now on, Li Li should go to the soup for the patriarch and never give up!"
Zhuang Zhou handed over the seal of the village chief found by Li Qiaosheng's house to Li Li, and asked Zhou Long to take him back to the village to take office, and by the way, Zhou Long summoned the village chiefs in Qixia Village to announce the selection of young people to go up the mountain.
After sending Zhou Long and Li Li away, before Zhuang Zhou could sit down, Ma Shanhao and Ma Tianhu walked in again, naturally a word of thanks. Zhuang Zhou saw that Ma Tianhu's complexion was really good, but there was a faint layer of black gas in the Yin Hall, hovering in the heart of his forehead, condensed in it, and could not be dispersed for a long time. Zhuang Zhou was secretly surprised, thinking that Liu Canglong had taken Ma Tianhu into the depths of his mind, and the dream poison left behind was really powerful, if he didn't pull it out, I am afraid that Ma Tianhu would not only be unable to recover his strength, but also his life would be worried!
Zhuang Zhou said: "Senior Brother Yin is not here, the daily cultivation of the disciples of Yunmeng Mountain still needs to be more troubled by Shi Bo! There is also Senior Brother Tianhu, you can also try to recover your strength slowly while recuperating from your injuries......
Ma Tianhu said: "I think so too!"
At this moment, the Yunmeng Mountain disciples' breakfast had run out, and they walked towards the cultivation ground one after another. A servant brought Zhuang Zhou's breakfast and put it on the table above the main hall, Zhuang Zhou said, "You two should go over the cultivation ground first, and I'll come over after breakfast!"
The Ma family father and son withdrew.
Zhuang Zhou had breakfast and also came to the cultivation ground. But I saw that on the wide cultivation ground, high and low cultivation stones were all over the woods, mountains and rocks. The disciples were already sitting on their own cultivation stones. But it seems that none of them have really entered the state of cultivation. In the past few months, major events have happened one after another, and the partners around them are scattered, but who can suddenly really calm down and cultivate? What is particularly striking is that there are many cultivation stones that are now empty, and they seem to be a little sparse. The owners of these empty stones naturally lost their qualifications for cultivation forever because of Ye Xuan'er's rebellion or Gong Dingren's rebellion...... The name written on the empty stone also seems to be silently telling the chaos on Yunmeng Mountain in the past few months.
Zhuang Zhou was very worried in his heart, and saw Ma Shanhao who was walking back and forth in the cultivation field to supervise, and Ma Tianhu who was sitting on the cultivation stone with his eyes closed and meditating.
The Ma Tianhu frowned, as if he was trying to drive away the dream poison. The black qi above the Yin Hall seemed to be squirming and rising, rising from the center of the eyebrows, swimming across the forehead, and then emerging from the top of the head. Wisps of water slowly rise......
I don't know what the effect of Ma Tianhu will be after taking a little Rejuvenation Pill. Seeing that the black qi in his seal hall could actually be discharged from the top of his head. It seems that the day of detoxification is not far off. Zhuang Zhou was deeply grateful.
Zhuang Zhou stayed for a while, and Ma Tianhao had already seen Zhuang Zhou and greeted him.
Zhuang Zhou asked, "What is the specific number of disciples on the mountain now?" Ma Shanhao said: "After the last great chaos, there are only eight hundred and seven disciples left in Yunmeng Mountain, excluding more than two hundred miscellaneous servants and mountain guards. There are less than 600 people who actually cultivate. In this rebellion of Gong Dingren, more than 100 people were removed, so there were less than 500 cultivators at the moment, and the specific number was 482...... I'm afraid that Yunmeng Mountain has never withered to such a point!"
Ma Shanhao felt sorry in his heart, and was silent after speaking. He already knew that even the remaining 400 or so people were also unstable, and many of them were already planning to go down the mountain and return to the village to work as farmers, and no longer cultivate...... He is the old man of Yunmeng Mountain. The turmoil that has taken place in the past few months has shocked and touched him more than the turmoil more than 20 years ago......
Looking at the listless more than 400 people in front of him, Zhuang Zhou remembered the ambition he had told last night, which seemed so funny and so tragic at this moment! Not to mention taking it out to conquer the secular world, even Zhou Bonian, who is facing Feimeng Mountain, may be vulnerable. No wonder when he said those words last night, Yin Ji, Zhoulong and the others looked at themselves with strange eyes...... He let out a long sigh and said, "Yunmeng Mountain at this time can be said to be extremely empty...... Feimeng Mountain didn't know what the situation was, a few months had passed, and Zhou Bonian and Ling Yan's injuries didn't know how to recover? If they knew the predicament of Yunmeng Mountain at this moment, maybe they would ......."
Ma Shanhao straightened his chest, and Sen Ran said: "He dares!"
Zhuang Zhou said with a smile: "He naturally didn't dare to ...... in a short period of time I think Zhou Bonian's injury is extraordinary, and it will take at least two years to recover. We must regroup as soon as possible before him. In this way, let's get to the bottom and see how the remaining 482 people are cultivating. ”
Ma Shanhao understood, stood on a high place and shouted, and the more than four hundred disciples jumped off the cultivation stone together, stood in front of Zhuang Zhou, bowed down and shouted, "Patriarch!"
Zhuang Zhou said: "Everyone has gone through two accidents, and you have always been loyal to Yunmeng Mountain and the Dream Hunter Clan, very good! You four hundred and eighty-two people are the real elite of Yunmeng Mountain! Don't look at Yunmeng Mountain now that it looks scattered and depressed, but as long as everyone works together, I believe that in less than a year, everyone's cultivation will definitely make great progress, and then you can go down the mountain and join the WTO......."
More than 400 people listened to Zhuang Zhou's encouraging words, and their spirits were a little more uplifted, but their eyes were still difficult to be full of excitement.
Ma Shanhao frowned, and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you believe the patriarch's words? Patriarch Zhuang turned the tide and saved Yunmengshan from danger, everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes! Also, the patriarch has two good news to tell everyone......" said, looking at everyone, deliberately not going on.
More than 400 people were in high spirits again, and they all looked up at Ma Shanhao, with eagerness in their eyes.
Ma Shanhao looked at Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou knew what he was going to say, and he urgently needed such news to cheer him on at this moment, so he nodded.
Ma Shanhao said loudly: "Patriarch Zhuang has already sent people to the Yunmeng Mountain Mine to look for ore veins, and soon they will be able to mine ore, and with the ore, they will be able to refine the Gu Nian Pill, and everyone will be able to improve their cultivation by leaps and bounds at that time!"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone did hear that the patriarch had appointed Li Geng to bring people back to the mine, maybe they could really find the ore!
Ma Shanhao saw that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. said: "More importantly, the patriarch is gifted and intelligent, and he has summed up a unique set of cultivation experiences, which will be passed on to you when the time comes." You think, with the patriarch's cultivation experience, wouldn't it be more effective than taking the Gu Nian Pill? A few days later, the young man will be selected to go up the mountain, and many of you will be promoted to master, uncle, ......"
The patriarch's cultivation experience? This time, more than 400 people were completely boiling! Everyone knew that although the patriarch was young, his cultivation was high. During this time, break the dream array and kill the cold ghost. Link to a strong enemy. He has long been a god-like existence in the hearts of everyone. Now that I heard that I could get the cultivation experience from the patriarch himself, how could I not be overjoyed!
Zhuang Zhou was quite satisfied with Ma Shanhao's mobilization, and he believed that as long as the people's hearts were united. Even if there is a temporary depression, you can regroup!
The next step is to find out more than 400 people, and each of them will report their cultivation progress. As a result, Zhuang Zhou found some comfort in his frustration!
Because out of the four hundred and eighty-two people, there are actually ten people who have already entered the dream realm and are about to enter the dream realm! Although this data is pitiful, but thinking that as long as Yunmeng Mountain can have ten more illusion realm level people in the future, it has to be said to be an exciting good news for the current situation! As for the rest of the people, there are three hundred and twenty-seven who are still in the dream realm, and one hundred and forty-five are still in the dream realm!
Zhuang Zhou finally had a clear understanding of Yunmeng Mountain's strength. For him, the next thing is naturally how to build these more than 400 people into a dream hunting force!
After Zhuang Zhou went back, he immediately took out the "Aoki Secret Method", carefully studied the cultivation methods in it, and found out the quick method that was suitable for the cultivation level of the more than 400 people or the special method before the level of the illusion realm. He thought that this secret method was completely different from ordinary dream hunting exercises. Not only are there many dream hunting thaumaturgy that other books don't have, but naturally there will also be shortcuts to help others quickly improve their cultivation level.
I don't know that from the beginning to the end, I didn't say word by word about the method of shortcuts, but warned everywhere: cultivation is a gradual thing, and you must not seek the technique of ascending to heaven in one step, otherwise it will not only be in vain, but it is very likely to go mad!
Zhuang Zhou was disappointed, thinking back on his cultivation process, the speed was extremely fast, it was naturally because of his adventures. How can everyone be able to experience such a situation like yourself?
So, is there no way?
Zhuang Zhou held the Taoist robe in his hand and fell into hard thought. He knew that all his previous ambitions, including his eventual departure from Yunmeng Mountain to enter the WTO, were all preconditioned on improving the overall strength of Yunmeng Mountain first.
A day passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhuang Zhou didn't come up with any clues, but Zhou Long had already returned from the mountain and reported the trip to the mountain.
In the following days, under the arrangement of Ma Shanhao and Zhou Long, everything began to run in an orderly manner.
First of all, it is a matter of juvenile selection.
At that time, it was close to the end of the year, the wind was cold, the snow was white up and down Yunmeng Mountain, and the entire heaven and earth were shrouded in ice and snow, which made Zhuang Zhou feel that he was completely isolated from the other side of the world.
A total of 160 teenagers between the ages of 10 and 15 were selected from the 49 villages, and these teenagers came from various villages, but all of them were full of longing and novelty for Yunmeng Mountain. When they were very young, their parents and everyone in the village told them that only by going up the mountain to practice is the greatest glory, and only by going up the mountain can they leave this wild world and enter an incomparably wonderful and colorful world!
Therefore, the only goal of the children of the Dream Hunter Clan in life is to go up the mountain to practice, otherwise they can only nest in the village forever and die in the mountains and fields.
Looking at the more than 100 young people in front of him, who were immature, old, delicate, or clumsy, the light in everyone's eyes was the same, Zhuang Zhou suddenly had a lot of feelings: Many years ago, was he also such a teenager, there was nothing in his eyes except longing, like a blank piece of paper?
