Chapter 201: Night Encounter

After Gao Meng walked to the right side of Qin Wen, the monks who were picked by Qin Wen on the opposite side couldn't help but be a little moved, except for two who withdrew, the other monks all said their own masters, and the reasons for coming here, Qin Wen could see that most of them were the truth, after all, the skills practiced by each monk could not be concealed, so in addition to the very secret sects, the masters could not be made up.

After staying on the slope where the monks were recruited for nearly an hour, Qin Wen returned to his courtyard with the thirteen monks he had recruited, and seeing that it was almost noon, Qin Wen asked Lu Mo to go out first to prepare some meals, and after eating, Qin Wen and Lu Mo discussed with Lu Mo how to arrange these monks.

Looking at the thirteen monks outside standing under the eaves of the corridor with some restraint, Qin Wen waved his hand to beckon Lu Tiancheng and asked, "Xiao Lu, what do the monks recruited in this city of expulsion usually do?"

Lu Tiancheng couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Qin Wen to ask this question, generally speaking, when recruiting monks, the main family would only recruit when there was a shortage of people, but this time he met Qin Wen who recruited people first, and he didn't even think about what to do, Lu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment and replied: "Generally, the low-level monks recruited are all doing some labor or the like, just like the main family has private land or mineral deposits, so they go there to work." ”

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "I know this, but now we don't have private land and mineral deposits, don't mention it again, what do you say if you recruit Xuanshi or Xuanshi realm monks?"

Lu Tiancheng continued to reply: "I know that the monks of the Xuanshi realm are all recruited to guard the courtyard, but the monks of the Xuanshi period also have a use, that is, to go to the mountains and forests outside to round up those scattered monks, and the monks who are captured can confiscate some spiritual objects, or sell them to other private fields or mines as slaves. ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but glance at Lu Mo, and Lu Mo knew that Qin Wen was unwilling to do this. After all, judging from the relationship between him and Qin Wen these days, as long as it is something that violates the harmony of heaven, Qin Wen will generally not do it, but he himself has no good way, so he shook his head and said: "The city of expulsion is so big, and I don't know much about the others." This still needs to be decided by Dan Master. ”

Qin Wen frowned and thought for a while: "It's not okay to catch scattered monks, besides, our people have just been recruited, and there is no reliable person to lead us, in case of trouble, it is not good for us to stay in this expulsion city any longer, it is better to do this, Lu Mo, you take them to clean up the courtyard outside." ”

"Then I'll give you some more spirit stones and see what needs to be repaired around the courtyard. There is also the house, after it is repaired, let them live there first, and then I will discuss it with a few more of them in the next two days before making a decision. ”

Lu Mo nodded and agreed, picked up the one hundred and ten high-grade spirit stones that Qin Wen handed him, and walked towards the courtyard in Dongcheng with the monks outside, after Lu Mo left, Qin Wen said to Lu Tiancheng: "Since we have our own courtyard." Later, it is not appropriate to eat out, so you have to go and get a few cooks and servants to come back. As he spoke, he handed Lu Tiancheng more than a dozen spirit stones. Looking at the backs of these people leaving, Qin Wen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What Lu Tiancheng said about recruiting monks, he basically thought of it, he wouldn't do the thing of rounding up mountain and forest monks, he did have this idea of private land and mineral deposits, but this had to wait until the foundation was laid. The current dozen or so Xuanshi Stage Cultivators are really too weak for the Expulsion City.

At this time, Zheng Pu walked out of his room, and when he saw Qin Wen pondering, he spoke: "Brother Qin, my spirit runes have been almost consumed on the road during this time. I'm going out to buy some rune paper and come back, do you want to bring something with you?"

Qin Wen shook his head and said, "No, by the way, Brother Zheng, today I just recruited more than a dozen monks from the Xuanshi realm from outside, and now I can't think of what to ask them to do for a while, so let Lu Mo take them to the courtyard outside, if you want to have free time for a while, let's go to the courtyard with Ao Yu to see their situation." ”

Zheng Pu nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do now, I originally wanted to buy rune paper to see Han Duan and them inside, or let's go now, I'll just take some rune paper with me on the way." ”

Ao Yu spoke beside him at this time: "Brother Qin, Lu Mo, they have just walked less than a stick of incense, and we are estimated to be able to catch up with them now." ”

Qin Wen nodded, and got up with Ao Yu and walked out of the courtyard with Zheng Pu, and when they arrived at the courtyard outside, they saw that Lu Mo was asking these monks to tidy up the already dilapidated courtyard, these monks are easy to manage, according to Lu Mo's instructions, first remove all the traces that had been burned by fire before, although these people have not been plasterers, but everyone is a monk in the Xuanshi realm, and these small jobs are easy to catch.

Seeing Qin Wen and Ao Yu and Zheng Pu walking into the courtyard, Lu Mo hurriedly greeted him, and Qin Wen saw that the monks had moved these dismantled waste materials outside the courtyard, so he asked Lu Mo, "Where are you going to throw these things away?"

Lu Mo pointed to the narrow path outside the courtyard gate: "When I first came, I felt that this road was a little narrow, and in the future, Danshi will recruit more monks, there must be a lot of people living here, it is better to widen the road in front of the door with these wastes, and it will be more convenient for us to come and go." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said: "If you repair it like this, basically there are not many houses available in this courtyard, the spirit stones I gave you just now are not enough, you can rebuild the house according to the original pattern, and you can get as many spirit stones as you need." ”

Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "I asked them a few times on the road just now, two of these monks are cultivating formations, the composition of these houses is the easiest for them, and I also inquired about the raw materials, the spirit stones you gave me just now are still abundant, if it is really not enough, I will go back to you to ask for it when the time comes." ”

Qin Wen took a few steps forward, and saw the barren grass in the courtyard, and occasionally a few elixirs swaying in the wind, an idea suddenly came to mind in his heart, so he said to Zheng Pu: "What do you think about planting some elixirs in here?" This is our own courtyard, and these monks are guarding it, so there should be no problem." ”

Lu Mo next to him said at this time: "The growth time of the elixir is too long, it is estimated that there will be no problem for the time being, and in the future, when some elixirs mature, it is impossible for monks like us to guard this courtyard, I heard from the monks of the trading courtyard that it turned out that the owner of this courtyard used to have two spiritual stone deposits, and he transported the mined spiritual stones to the treasury in the city every day, which was just a transit point for him." ”

But one day he was careless and put the spirit stones mined that day here, but he didn't expect that the idle monks in the mountains and forests would unite at night and turn this place upside down, and these recruited monks couldn't fully believe it, and some of them might be the eyes of other families. ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said: "It's a pity that these places are deserted, I'll prepare some low-level elixirs for you after I go back, and then let Shuang'er come over to help you plant them, you can set up a few spirit gathering formations on the elixir, so that the spiritual energy inside is abundant, as for the matter of the idle monks outside, let's discuss it later." ”

Lu Mo saw that Qin Wen had decided to plant the elixir, so he could only agree, so he casually called two monks to clean up the wild grass on the clearing, and then let them turn over the land.

Then Qin Wen turned around again, and saw that he had nothing to do here, so he beckoned Ao Yu and Zheng Pu to go back first, and when he left, he said to Lu Mo: "You also go back to live at night, I have something to explain to you." ”

Lu Mo hesitated for a moment, looked at the monk who was working, and said, "Then what about these people?"

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "You just buy them some bedding, let them live here first, there is nothing in here, even if they leave, there is no loss for us, at most I will recruit some over there." ”

After speaking, Qin Wen walked out of the courtyard with Ao Yu and Zheng Pu, walked to the west again, and walked through a few streets, at this time it was getting late, and the lights were already lit up in several nearby restaurants, Qin Wen suddenly saw a familiar figure hurrying south, and couldn't help but be stunned.

At the moment when the figure turned around the street, Qin Wen suddenly remembered that this figure was Xiao Zheng who was on duty with him, he knew that Xiao Zheng usually lived in the camp, how could he pass by here in a hurry at this time, as if there was something, Qin Wen hesitated, then turned to Zheng Pu and said: "I have some things to deal with now, Brother Zheng, you go to Han Duan's side and take Shuang'er to our yard, and tomorrow I will ask her to help Lu Mo plant some elixir." ”

Zheng Pu didn't know what was going on with Qin Wen, so he nodded and agreed, and after Zheng Pu left, Qin Wen hurriedly rushed to the direction where Xiao Zheng was walking with Ao Yu.

followed Xiao Zheng for a few streets in a row, Qin Wen originally wanted to stop him, but when he saw Xiao Zheng's hurried steps, he couldn't help but endure it, so he and Ao Yu kept following Xiao Zheng, and now there were still more pedestrians on the road, so Xiao Zheng didn't notice Qin Wen's tracking behind him.

When Qin Wen was about ten zhang away from Xiao Zheng, he suddenly saw Xiao Zheng stop in front of the side door of a deep mansion compound, Qin Wen couldn't help but stop, watching Xiao Zheng tapping the door knocker a little anxiously. (To be continued......)
