Chapter 90: Self-cultivation of the shopkeeper
In fact, it is extremely easy to place tens of thousands of people in this huge Fangcun Mountain, but this Kunyu clan is an undersea demon beast and wants to live in the seawater. Although more than half of the clansmen were basically able to live on land for a short time, most of the clansmen still had to rely on seawater for aerobic breathing, which stumped Qin Guan.
"How about bringing in some seawater and digging out a big pond?" Qin Guan first imagined it, but found that even if this was the case, the time it would take was not as easy as directly placing these kunfish outside.
Luo Nan suggested: "Why don't we just put them outside?"
Qin Guan shook his head and said, "This is not good. First, since the family has come to vote for our Sanqing Palace, we don't let the family in, so it doesn't make sense! Second, it is also for safety reasons, I don't know how many spies from the Lingyin Building are active around, in case someone else finds out that the Kunyu clan actually came here, wouldn't that tell the world that our Sanqing Palace is here?"
When Luo Nan heard it, this was indeed the truth, but he couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem for a while. Liao Xingchen said slowly on the side: "Actually, what the palace master said at the beginning is not wrong in digging a big pond to house the Kunyu people. It's just that there is a slight deviation in the means. ”
"What, does Elder Liao have any ideas?" Qin Guan asked sideways.
Liao Xingchen nodded: "Actually, this pond doesn't need to be excavated, we just need to expand the mountain protection array a little more outward and incorporate some of the seawater outside, isn't it?"
Qin Guan didn't understand Liao Xingchen's method a little, and asked, "Could it be that the Mountain Protection Array can still be moved? And even if a part of the sea water is included, won't this sea water still flow everywhere?"
Liao Xingchen smiled: "The palace master doesn't understand the characteristics of this mountain protection array. This mountain protection array in our Fangcun Mountain is not an ordinary formation, and the characteristics of it are difficult for even me, a person who controls the large array, to get a glimpse of one-twelve. This is still a new usage that I have been thinking about these days, as long as the large array is expanded outward, and then with the characteristics of the fixed sea water that comes with the mountain protection array, there will be a natural circle for the Kunyu clan to live? ”
Yu Wei interjected: "Elder Liao's idea is quite good, but the clansmen of our Kunyu clan are not beasts that only know their nature, they are all creatures with wisdom, even if they are not shapeshifted, they all live in their own houses, and they will not live on the ground!"
Liao Xingchen was a little embarrassed, he still looked at the problem from the perspective of a human monk, and thought that these Kunyu clans were just demon beasts that did not understand human nature, and they would just be stocked like ordinary fish, how could they know that people had their own residences in the original territory. He arched his hand and apologized to Yu Wei and Li Jin'er: "Forgive me, I didn't think about it and abruptly surprised the Kunyu family." ”
Li Jin'er was a little at a loss, the old man in front of her was the powerful elder who controlled the entire large array around Fangcun Mountain, and he actually apologized to outsiders and juniors, which made her a little dazed for a while.
Yu Wei said generously: "Elder Liao doesn't have to be like this, you are also kind, we understand." ”
Qin Guan shook his head: "It seems that just expanding part of the Great Array can't solve the problem of the Kunyu people's residence!
Everyone present fell into deep thought, but the elders of the Fa Hall on the periphery seemed to have made a decision, and sent Nian Luyao to say: "Palace Master, we have some ideas, I don't know if it is suitable or not. ”
Qin Guan said: "The elder said that it doesn't matter, they are all their own people, so there is no need to be so polite." "These disabled elders have been diligently taking care of three generations of disciples and doing their duty, but they are all a little inferior, especially when facing outsiders, they are unconsciously three points shorter. Qin Guan once persuaded these five people not to care too much about their physical disabilities, as long as they practiced diligently, they could reshape their physical bodies when they condensed the Yuan Infant, and there were many heavenly and earthly treasures in the cultivation world, many of which could regenerate the severed limbs. However, after hearing this, these people promised that they would pay attention in the future, but the effect was not very good, so Qin Guan could only let it go for the time being, and leave it to rebuild confidence for these five people in the future.
Nian Luyao whispered: "Palace Master, I'm thinking, since there are many caves in the cave area that are empty, and there are formations on the periphery, can we attract seawater and pour it into those caves, each cave can accommodate a lot of Kunyu people, right? As long as the formation can keep the seawater from leaking, isn't it simpler and more convenient than digging a lake and building houses in it?"
Qin Guan's eyes lit up: "This method is indeed feasible, but I don't know if these cave formations can lock the sea water?" Elder Liao, what do you see?"
Liao Xingchen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, Elder's method is feasible. The formations on the periphery of these caves originally had the function of locking the aura that could only enter but not exit, as long as it was slightly transformed, some formations were added, and some seawater was accommodated without leakage, it was indeed possible. It's just ......" Nian Luyao and the others held their breath, this is the method they came up with together, although they don't care if this method is feasible, they care about what others think of them.
He paused for a moment and added, "It's just that this addition of a few arrays, although it is simple and easy, is this material, it may cost a little more." ”
Qin Guan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry too much about the problem of spiritual materials, our Sanqing Palace is now less crowded, and there are a lot of spiritual materials sealed in the treasury, which should be enough to transform out a hundred cave mansions, and one cave mansion can accommodate fifty Kunyu clan people." "This is not an exaggeration, although they now occupy a cave mansion except for three generations of disciples, but there are still 99% of the ordinary cave mansions that are not inhabited, and it is trivial to take out a hundred and give them to the Kunyu people.
Now that you've decided on how to live in it, it's time to renovate the cave. It's just that these things are not something that Qin Guan can participate in, although he can also have one or two formations, but adding formation patterns to the existing cave formation is beyond his ability, and these things can only be handed over to Liao Xingchen to be responsible.
The matter was settled, and Li Jin'er and Yu Wei also happily thanked everyone, and then everyone went their separate ways. Li Jin'er and Yu Wei followed Liao Xingchen and others to renovate the cave mansion, plus provide advice on residence, and then the people from the Internal Affairs Hall and the Refining Hall were responsible for the renovation.
When Qin Guan was about to return to the cave mansion, the three Shen brothers quietly followed behind Qin Guan and came to Qin Guan's cave mansion together. Qin Guan knew that this couple had something to tell him, and just now he saw that the expressions on the faces of the three brothers were wrong, but he hesitated not to say it in front of everyone.
Qin Guan stood at the door and said to Shen Da and the three people not far away, "Three, if there is anything, you can come in and talk about it." Then he turned around and went into the cave.
The three Shen brothers hesitated for a while, gritted their teeth and followed into Qin Guan's cave mansion.
After everyone sat down, Qin Guan asked leisurely: "I don't know if the three of you want to tell me something?" But it doesn't hurt to say, there is no one else here now, only the four of us." ”
Shen Er and Shen San turned their heads to look at Shen Da sideways, their eyes burning, as if to say, "Big brother, everything depends on you." ”
Shen Da stiffened, got up and said, "Palace Master, the three of us can't trust the people of the Kunyu clan!" Then he explained to Qin Guan what his three brothers had experienced in the caravan one by one, and finally said: "Palace Master, it's not that we are too vigilant, it's just that most of those demon cultivators are cruel and bloodthirsty, our Sanqing Palace is just such a little people, and there is no reason to win with one pair of hundreds! ”
Qin Guan didn't answer this question, but first smiled: "It seems that the prejudice of the three of them against demon cultivation is indeed big enough." I wonder if there are people like you in the palace?"
Shen Da hesitated for a while, did not answer Qin Guan directly, and said: "Palace Master, we don't want to talk about other people's affairs behind our backs, these are the thoughts of the three brothers and us, and please think twice." ”
Qin Guan nodded: "I know." Actually, I've thought about this question too, but I don't think the nature of demon cultivators is terrifying, I look at it from the ratio of human monks and demon monks. Our Sanqing Palace does not exclude the demon monks from entering the study, but after all, our Sanqing Palace was established by a group of Terran monks at the beginning, if the demon cultivators accepted are much more than the Terran monks, even if we emerge in the cultivation world in the future, we will inevitably be boycotted by the Terran monks, saying that we are being held hostage by the demon monks, just to blend in with the Terran monks. That's not something I'm happy to see. ”
Shen Da and the three didn't seem to have thought about this problem, they went through it in their minds, and they all nodded and said: "That's the truth, Palace Master! If we want to accept Terran disciples in the future, but no one wants to come, isn't this just sacrificing the basics? After all, the exercises we practice are more biased towards Terran monks!"
Qin Guan stretched out his hand and nodded at the three of them, and said, "You guys, in fact, you still don't want people from the Kunyu Clan to come to our Sanqing Palace, right? It's because of the bloodthirsty demon cultivators you have encountered in the caravan, so you have to attack an entire demon cultivator, which is not a good idea." But I also have to admit that what you said is indeed reasonable, but since Yu Wei has promised that the Kunyu people are all peace-loving people, then we have to believe in our disciples, don't we? And Luo Nan is not a person who will rashly cause trouble to enter the door, he must be completely sure, so he will decide to recruit the entire Kunyu people to our Sanqing Palace, and we must also believe him!"
After a pause, Qin Guan saw that Shen Da and the three did not object to his statement, and continued: "I see that you also know this truth, but it is just that prejudice has covered up your own judgment. But I can't say that your judgment is wrong, and I also said that the ratio of Terran monks to demon cultivators can't be too unbalanced, so what should I do?"
Shen Da and the three of them were all straight, and said bluntly: "Since the palace master is worried about this, why don't we just recruit some Terran disciples?"
Qin Guan shook his head: "Our Sanqing Palace recruits disciples, not many, but refined." If we recruit some people who deviate from the norm and don't respect our teachers to come in, wouldn't we be asking for trouble? Moreover, Lingyinlou is still eyeing us in the dark, who can guarantee that the disciples recruited will not have spies from Lingyinlou?"
Shen Da and the three of them stopped talking now, their brain circuits were not enough to support them to think about such a profound question, even if they spoke to Qin Guan behind their backs this time, they had only made up their minds after the three of them had thought about it in detail.
Shen Da, Shen Er, and Shen San arched their hands and said: "This matter is still decided by the Qing Palace Master, and I will listen to the Palace Master for everything!"
Qin Guan smiled, as if the conspiracy had succeeded: "Hehe, since the three of you said so, it just so happens that I have something here, and I want the three of you to do it, if you do it well, maybe you can solve this problem." ”
"Presumably you also know that Elder Helian Jun and Shouwang were once the city lords of Star City, and that Star City happens to be a small city in the middle of nowhere, there are many Terrans living in the city, and there are no sects around, on behalf of our Sanqing Palace, you go to recruit some disciples of the Terran Race, won't you be able to solve the problem we are worried about?"
Shen Da and the three of them glanced at each other: "Palace Master, it's not that we are waiting for us, but our brains are not so good, and our eyes are not as accurate as yours, what if we recruit spies like you said or people who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors......?"
Qin Guan said categorically: "Don't worry about this, I won't just send the three of you, you can say whoever you want to bring, I will send whoever comes with you, you can rest assured." ”
Shen Er's eyes rolled and said, "Palace Master, since you said so, we can't continue to refuse." It's just that this candidate, we really can't make a decision for a while, and I ask the palace master to let us go back and think about it, and come back to you tomorrow to tell you. ”。
Qin Guan nodded, agreed with the words of the three of them, and asked them to go back and think about it, the number of people should not be too much, about three or five people would be enough. And they can't make a big splash, the people of Lingyin Tower are still looking for Sanqing Palace everywhere, but they can't let them find the traces of Sanqing Palace, or bring disaster to Xingxing City. As for who else they wanted to go, it was up to them to go to someone else, and if they agreed, Qin Guan could give an order.
In fact, this matter of recruiting disciples, Qin Guan has been thinking about it all along, and it is not a whim. But now that there are five thousand more people all of a sudden, there can be no longer delay, it is an imminent matter, just as Shen Da and the three of them jumped out, Qin Guan also handed over the matter to them to be responsible. He's getting more and more comfortable with it.
