Ruoshan himself has the cultivation of the Five Realms, but it is impossible for him to be a city lord and an engineer, and there is no city lord in Bayuan who is also an engineer. Then the only monk left above the four realms is Ruoshui, but with Ruoshui's temper, of course, it is impossible to serve as any engineer in Shanshui City, so he can only ask the monarch to send someone.

But a monk who has at least four realms of cultivation can live comfortably anywhere, why should he go to such a remote wilderness, spend his days with a group of wild people in the deep mountains, and be an engineer who has not even built a city? Therefore, there is no problem with the feudal landscape city, but the appointment and dispatch of engineers makes it very difficult for the monarch.

Since Lord Xiling is so capable, this time he intends to solve the overall situation in the midst of external twists and turns, so the monarch also asked Xiling to find a way to do this. Xiling visited almost all the high-ranking hermits near the national capital, and as he expected, no one was willing to take on this thankless drudgery, but he still said that Xin Shu was moved after the end.

Xin Shu reluctantly agreed to Xiling to be the engineer of Shanshui City, but there was also a condition, when there was a suitable candidate to succeed him in that wilderness, he would be dismissed and leave. Of course, Xiling nodded busily and thanked him repeatedly.

Xin Shu had traveled with Xiling to that wilderness, knew the situation of the various tribes, and knew what was happening there, so he was certainly the best candidate. At the same time, Xin Shu also has an identity, he is the descendant of Chiwangqiu, and he has a huge power behind him, but very few people know about it in the Xiangmuro Kingdom. This identity may also bring more help to Shanshui City, which is what Xiling thinks.

Xin Shu asked Xiling not to reveal his identity to others, of course Xiling would not have much trouble, and consciously kept this secret for Xin Shu and did not tell anyone.

What exactly does a master engineer do for a city? In many cases, it is a position that is feared but not done, and its main duty is to take charge of the fortifications. The engineer is at least a monk of the Four Realms, with supernatural powers and magical powers, which can not be done by others. Some tasks that are difficult or impossible to accomplish with ordinary manpower and material resources require the hands of the master engineer - such as finding suitable ores, refining refined iron, and crafting them into weapons required by soldiers.

There is also a situation that often needs to be solved by an engineer, such as when building a city outline, there is a boulder that cannot be found in a suitable position, then it depends on the means of the engineer. It can be seen from this that although the status of the engineer is very high and respected, many monks are reluctant to take on this task on their own initiative, and often need to be appointed by the king and the lord of the city, and the appointee has to politely ask the other party to agree.

The engineer also has a very important responsibility. It is the situation of the monks who are in charge of the territory under the jurisdiction of the city. Where someone has broken through the first realm, where has a monk broken through from the second realm to the third realm...... These news should be understood and grasped in a timely manner. On the other hand, the engineer should also be familiar with all the monks above the three realms in the jurisdiction, and he can contact them and ask for help if he has any problems.

There are many things that cannot be accomplished by the engineer alone, and he still needs more helpers. Monks above the Three Realms can create some artifacts that are difficult for ordinary people to make, and they also have magical means that are incredible in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, it can become the object of the engineer's help. But this kind of person who cultivates well on his own usually doesn't like to be disturbed, and may not give face to the engineer.

But for most monks, they may turn to the engineer for help. They also live in the territory of the city, and their villages and families are more likely to ask for help from the engineers, so they generally do not offend the engineers, and usually establish good relationships and promise to help when they can help.

Monks like this. It is also known as "co-work" in the people. The so-called "co-worker" does not refer to a specific person, but to a certain type of person, and this title has been handed down from the time of Emperor Yan.

When Emperor Shennong was in the world, he was the founder of a generation of emperors. Known as Emperor Yan, later generations who succeeded the Son of Heaven also took Emperor Yan as the name. When Emperor Yan was in power, he called on all the monks above the three realms in the world to help the people in exchange for the offerings they enjoyed.

This was a call rather than a command, because it was impossible for ordinary people to force the monk to help with supernatural powers, so they could only ask for it as much as they could. In the era of Emperor Yan, all monks above the Three Realms, as long as they were willing to use their magical powers to create artifacts and build projects for the people, could be called "Gonggong", which means "common engineers".

Later, Emperor Xuanyuan rose to become the founder of the new generation of emperors, also known as the Yellow Emperor in the world. When the Yellow Emperor was the Son of Heaven, he clarified a system. Monks from the three realms of the kingdom and above promised to help the city engineers in any matter, so that they could receive rewards and offerings, and when they needed their help, they had to obey the call to serve.

But this kind of conscription is not on call, and the monks' promises are usually conditional, such as what kind of offerings they receive, how many times a year they will act for the city or the king, as long as the promises are fulfilled, and other matters are completely voluntary or need to be negotiated. There are also some monks in the people, who may travel in various places, and occasionally accept the requests of the local residents and help them do something, which is also called Gonggong in the people—this is the legacy of the Yandi era.

As for before the era of Emperor Yan, Emperor Taihao was also the founder of the country, and the founding name was "Hua", known as the Green Emperor, and the Son of Heaven in later generations also took the Green Emperor as the name. However, due to its age, the details are not clear today.

Nowadays, the kingdom and the city in Bayuan also have a co-work system, and each city has set up an engineer to take charge of the "co-work" situation within the territory. Therefore, "Gonggong" is not an official position, but an honorific title for the people, and many people have a very high status and may not need this honorific title.

For example, Xin Shu came to Shanshui City to serve as an engineer, and there are only Gu Xin, Xiao Bai, Yue Niu'er, Ruoshan, Ruoshui and others who can be registered as co-workers here, and there is another group of Second Realm monks who may have hope in the future. Ruoshan, as the lord of the city, can also become a co-worker, it depends on whether he is willing or not, and in fact, there is nothing that these people are unwilling to.

Master Gongshi also has the responsibility of trying to guide the talented young people of each tribe to enter the initial realm to cultivate, and recommend them to the school palace in the national capital. Nowadays, there is no school palace in the countries of Bayuan, but the official will still discover and train monks, which is also a major event to find talents for the city and the country, and it is not the responsibility of the engineer alone. Monks trained by the government are usually required to swear to serve the city and the kingdom, which is also a common rule.

Looking at it this way, there are many responsibilities of an engineer, and he can't be busy even with three heads and six arms, but this is not the case. Engineers also had their own assistants, and in those days, people had very few things to do, so they set up an official position and were often responsible for many kinds of affairs.

Xin Shu's arrival was of course warmly welcomed by the Lord of Ruoshan City and the Elders of Shanshui City, and they were very grateful to this master. And Li Qingshui on Shude Hill was secretly sneering, only he knew the details of Lu Dao Xin Shu, this person was the descendant of Chiwangqiu, and he was willing to run from the national capital to Shanshui City to work as a craftsman, and he must have another purpose.

With the identity of the engineer, Xin Shu can smoothly lead all the monks of this generation to grasp the situation, which tribe has broken through the initial realm, and which monk has broken through from one realm to a higher realm, all the engineers need to know. If Li Qingshui finds a successor here, he will definitely not be able to get rid of Chiwangqiu's surveillance.

Xin Shu had revealed the identity of the heir of Chiwangqiu to Xiling in the central valley, but when he spoke, he held his breath with mana, and Li Qingshui on the tree hill could not hear it. He only lit up Chiwangqiu's token in his palm, and then put it away, and at that time, everyone's attention was on the battle array, and almost no one would notice his action, and Li Qingshui should not either.

Li Qingshui was on the Shude Hill, although he could know what was happening in the wilderness of the Dao, his Yuan Shen perception had been greatly limited, and it was no different from what ordinary people saw, and more importantly, it was impossible for him to perceive every situation in the mountain all the time. At that time, Li Qingshui must have been as concerned about how Ruoshan cleaned up the big fish shell like everyone else, and it was almost impossible to notice his fleeting action.

It's a pity that Xin Shu miscalculated, Li Qingshui already knew what the outcome of this conflict would be, so he didn't care about how the fish shell played at all, and he kept focusing on these people from outside the mountain. As a result, perhaps luckily, Li Qingshui happened to catch a glimpse of the token of Chiwangqiu in Xin Shu's hand.

Li Qingshui knew who Xin Shu was and what he was here for, but he didn't say it, and he didn't even remind Ruoshan, so let Chiwangqiu think about it. Ruoshan had already ordered the people of Lu Village and Huahai Village not to tell anything about the cultivation of the tiger baby, at least for a while. And before Xin Shu might find out, he should let the tiger baby leave the wilderness.

Danli Qingshui was still very worried, and somewhat regretted it, because he didn't expect that this person would become an engineer in Shanshui City in advance. The tiger baby didn't have any magic obstacles in his heart, and he could have easily broken through from the third realm to the fourth realm, but Li Qingshui just made the tiger baby's cultivation not so easy to break through, and then Xin Shu came.

Now Li Qingshui has a sense of urgency again, and he hopes that the tiger baby will complete the preparations as soon as possible.

......

But Ruoshan didn't know what the mountain god was thinking, he was very grateful and respected Xin Shu, and the two got along very well. According to common sense, the first thing the city lord did after receiving the seal was, of course, to build the city, but Ruoshan did not do so. He first built as comfortable a residence as possible for Lord Xin Shu in the central valley, and then concentrated manpower and material resources to build a pass outside the village of Yuyu at the foot of the mountain.

This pass was officially named Shanshui Pass. (To be continued......)
