Chapter 103: Trying the Bottom Line
The old man at the head hurriedly saluted to the clouds, followed by a man and a woman, and also bowed neatly to the clouds with the old man's movements. At this time, Qingshu was instructed to stand up. In the door, Jin Cicada's clear voice reminded: "In the future, Qingshu will preside over the Iris Valley, Song Dalang, you explain the matter to Qingshu." ”
As soon as Jin Chan's words were finished, the building of the main building remembered a quiet cloud board crisp sound, and the people in the courtyard heard the sound of the cloud board, Qingshu, Biliu, Bixi, and Biting all straightened up and saluted to the gate of the main building again.
Yun Duo was just about to bend down and salute like Qingshu, but Qingshu immediately squeezed Yunduo's shoulders and reminded softly: "Uncle Shi, you don't need to salute. ”
After that, Qingshu quietly pulled Yunduo's hand, and then just walked backwards, holding Yunduo's hand and walking down the steps, during which Yunduo also wanted to learn from Qingshu to walk backwards down the steps, but was stopped by Qingshu, Qingshu insisted on letting Yunduo turn around, so Yunduo used his usual walking posture to shake his hand and was held by Qingshu in a backward posture, and walked down the six steps.
When everyone had walked down the steps, a second crisp cloud clap sounded from the main building, and everyone continued to walk backwards to the center of the courtyard. At this time, the crisp sound of the cloud board sounded for the third time...... The voice rang seven times in total.
After seven strokes, the three-story building of the main building, from under the steps rose a circle of light visible to the naked eye, the circle of light rose from the bottom of the building, straight to the top of the entire building, the building layer that was slid by the aperture became hazy, as if shrouded in a layer of ethereal fog, became looming. It's real, it's real.
The last two crunchs of the cloud are played uninterruptedly. After these two sounds, the cloud board sounded nine times, and after the ninth sound, the whole building became more ambiguous, as if the main building was just a flat set board, and as if there was no building in place. It's just a fog......
This is probably the highest level of the phantom array - I obviously saw the existence of the building, but when I looked closely, I felt that it was just an ordinary, hand-drawn landscape poster......
Yun Duo was looking at the phantom array arranged by the Golden Cicada True Monarch, and the person who was called Song Dalang just now straightened up, and he saluted Yun Duo first. Then introduce the two people around him to Yunduo: "Little ...... Little, little boy, this is ......"
The big housekeeper Song hesitated for a long time, and finally determined the name of Yunduo, and the following words slipped smoothly: "Little boy, this is Wei Erniang, this is Song Lu, Wei Erniang is in charge of the internal affairs of Iris Valley, and Song Lu is responsible for Iris Valley's foreign affairs." The contemptible Song Mingsheng is the head of the Iris Valley.
Ahem, little boy, the East Cross Courtyard has been cleaned up, you can move in at any time, and now there are four maids in the East Cross Courtyard, if the son thinks it is not enough, or needs something. Just ......"
Manager Song paused for a moment, and immediately picked up: "The little boy just sues Su Zhi." Just let her inform me. ”
Although Manager Song's attitude was respectful, he ignored Qingshu.
Jin Cicada Zhenjun has just explained - now Qingshu is the person with the highest cultivation in the Iris Valley, but Chief Song does not dare to buy Jin Cicada Zhenjun's account, and uses the clouds to humiliate Qingshu in a subtle way. His introduction seemed to respect Yunduo, and if Yunduo was really a child, he would probably accept the other party's deference happily...... It's a pity that the clouds are not a child.
The clouds grinned. Chong Song pointed at the green tree with his cute finger, and then copied his hand to see the reaction of Manager Song.
Song Mingsheng, the head of Song, is only in the middle stage of foundation building, and now his cultivation can only be said to be a little higher than Su Zhi, but if the two of them fight alone, Su Zhi will definitely be able to defeat him. And Wei Erniang and Song Lu are also in the middle of the foundation building period. But the cultivation of these two people is not even as good as Bixi, however, Bixi is a nerd who does not understand the world, and he does not have a lot of experience in fighting, so if he really wants to fight, this group has no chance of winning.
They want to make trouble, they can only rely on the support of the clouds, but will the clouds participate in this infighting?
Aoki seemed to have known that things would not go well when he received Iris Valley, but he wasn't worried.
Manager Song was stupid, he thought that he was old enough in Iris Valley, so he had the right to dictate the affairs of Iris Valley, he thought that Iris Valley's current success came from his efforts, so Iris Valley's career was his career...... But he forgot: this is a powerful society, this is a hierarchical society.
In this society, no one has "their own business", even if the status of Jin Cicada Zhenjun is high enough, she does not dare to claim that Iris Valley belongs to her "completely" - there is always a person who has cultivated more than her, and has the right to deprive it at will.
Now, Qingshu's cultivation can completely crush Chief Song, plus he has the order of the Golden Cicada True Monarch, if Yun Duo stands by and watches, then Chief Song is just a clown who jumps off the beam.
When Mr. Song stammered the clouds, Qingshu clipped his hand and waited for Mr. Song to finish his performance. Only then did he interject: "Okay, don't arrange other people for this main peak, junior brother, you live in the east wing, Su Zhi lives in the west wing, and the others are all evacuated to the halfway up the mountain." Little junior brother, if you have anything in the future, you can ask Su Zhi to come down the mountain to inform us, including what books you want to borrow, and any difficulties in your cultivation......"
The meaning of this is that the clouds are required to stay at home, and they can't even step out of the cicada courtyard, and the scope of activities is limited to this small courtyard.
Yun Duo clipped his hand and looked at Bixi with a smile, Bixi choked for a moment, and hurriedly reminded timidly: "Uncle Qingshu, I don't see many houses on the mountainside, you said that we should all evacuate to ......"
Now, what is the key question for this idiot? Is it where you live?
Yun Duo interjected: "This is a valley, there seems to be no one living on the side peaks on both sides, Bixi Biliu, why don't you two build a house on each side peak, and place all the new people who joined the Iris Valley this time on the side peak." ”
The key issue is the struggle for the right to speak - the clouds must speak, they must mark their own ideas.
Chief Manager Song was stunned for a moment, and immediately reminded: "Little boy, there is only one spiritual vein in this valley, and the spiritual vein only divides into two spiritual springs, and there is no spiritual spring on the side peak, so build a cave on the side peak......"
Before Yun Duo could explain, Qingshu waved his hand and stopped Chief Song: "It's okay, Biliu is good at alchemy, he recently invented a water alchemy, which can be made into pills without using Danhuo, just using various water-based spells." And Bixi is good at refining weapons, and the various magic weapons he refines are very high-quality. Let the two of them build a courtyard in other mountain peaks, so that they can recruit people to develop the alchemy of my Iris Valley series. ”
Qingshu's words were told to the head of Song: the monks in the foundation building period he brought in were all skilled in the foundation-building period, and in the future, as the master of his own valley retreated and cultivated, he would encounter more and more troubles and exclusions. At this time, two people with skills joined the Iris Valley, at least to ensure the self-sufficiency of the Iris Valley monks.
Of course, Qingshu has another vague meaning, he spoke out in support of Yunduo at this time, to show that there is no conflict between him and Yunduo, he recognizes Yunduo's orders, admits Yunduo's command over Bixi Biliu, and admits Yunduo's right to speak on the affairs of the valley. But......
Aoki isn't that smart. He restricts the clouds from stepping out of the Cicada Courtyard, which comes from a high-level order. He was ordered not to divulge the contents of the order and not to explain it to others.
He had to carry out the order, but he really didn't want to clash with the clouds. As a result, Qingshu was very entangled. He insisted that the clouds were in seclusion, but he agreed that the clouds would intervene in the affairs of the Iris Valley, at least Bixi and Biliu. These two men came to the clouds, and they listened to the clouds.
This tangled attitude was immediately comprehended by the clouds. He quietly let go. But Manager Song misunderstood, and he pondered for a long time with his mouth open - Qingshu's position changed back and forth. Is there a gap with the clouds, or is it ......
Manager Song suddenly perked up, he bowed down, and replied with a smile: "Bixi and Biliu, two senior brothers, since the little prince wants you to build another courtyard in the side peak, what ...... How many people do you need? What materials are needed, just say. ”
Bixi and Biliu were unaware of the undercurrent just now, and the two nerds heard all the conversations clearly, but they didn't notice the temptations and confrontations hidden in these conversations. At this moment, I was overjoyed to hear the news that they could have their own courtyard. Immediately turned his gaze to the clouds, looking forward to it.
Yun Duo nodded lightly and replied: "The peaks on both sides, each of you chooses a location and builds your own mansion, well, I have a pattern here, what kind of architecture do you like......"
Yun Duo took out a jade slip from his bosom...... It is said that cultivating immortals is really a good thing, the secret method of the immortal family can simplify many routine steps, such as what kind of building pattern Yun Duo thinks of in his mind, as long as this divine consciousness is entered into the jade slip, all kinds of castle models will be automatically generated and stored in this jade slip.
Among the jade slips, there are more than 30 miniature small castles and chapels...... Of course, Yun Duo is not completely familiar with these castles, and many of them he just has an impression - for example, he has seen the relevant photos, so he has a rough appearance in his mind.
Then, when the shape of the castle is sketched, and then according to the shape, roughly imagine the layout of the castle, so that the generated divine consciousness will automatically make logical calculations according to the requirements of the clouds, and then sketch the details of the interior.
These miniature castles are Baroque, French Classicist, Gothic, Romanesque, Rock, Renaissance, Byzantine, Tudor, Victorian...... There are different styles.
The two castles were built to open a processing plant...... Well, this is actually out of the evil taste of the clouds, and he originally made this construction to compete for his right to speak. When he first arrived, he had to make his voice heard, even if it was a mischievous one.
This is a bottom-line test -- Qingshu's bottom line, Mr. Song's bottom line, and so on.
Bixi and Biliu naturally didn't know these complex meanings, and the two of them only chose to ...... Two castles full of anime style, and then decided to build their own workshops on the east and west peaks.
Among them, the castle chosen by Bixi is the Iron Furnace Castle, and the castle built by Biliu is maliciously named Chillon Castle by the clouds because it is located on the west slope - in fact, the shape of this castle is like Hailar Castle in the video game, and the suspension bridge of the castle is also retained, and the suspension bridge directly crosses the valley and communicates with the Iron Furnace Castle on the east side.
The work of building is an easy task for the immortals, all kinds of earth spells are cast, the ground gradually rises according to everyone's requirements, and after the soil is built into the shape of a castle, everyone uses spells to harden the soil, so that the soil becomes rock, and the castle is built.
That night, Bixi and Biliu lived in two castles. The next step is to arrange the spirit gathering array, so that the only spiritual vein in the Iris Valley leads out two spiritual springs, and the two castles each place a spiritual spring spring, which is arranged in a zigzag shape with the spiritual spring eyes that were originally on the mountainside, and then these three springs form a large array of heaven, earth and man, this formation can ensure that the entire valley is full of spiritual energy. It can also be used to protect the valley.
This time, Yun Duo did not interfere in the work of arranging the three-talent array in the Iris Valley and relocating the two spiritual vein springs - this work was done by the Yuanying monks, especially the migration of the spiritual vein springs, only the Yuanying had the ability. However, this world. The problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, even if it is a high cost, Qingshu does not hesitate, but fortunately, the two people of Bixi and Biliu lack everything now, except for spirit stones.
The construction on the peaks on both sides lasted for about half a year, and Yun Duo stayed alone on the main peak with Su Zhi for the rest of the days except for participating in the initial planning.
Now that Yun Duo has known, the main building of the Golden Cicada True Monarch is called the Ming Cicada Tower. This courtyard is called the Cicada Courtyard, and the administrative building halfway up the mountain is called the Lihuo Courtyard, and the Song Governor lives in the Lihuo Courtyard (Internal Affairs Building), in addition to the Cicada Courtyard, the only external spiritual vein spring in the Iris Valley is in the Lihuo Courtyard, and the Song Chief's meditation room.
Jin Chan Zhenjun is an extremely tasteful woman, perhaps from the royal family, and is used to seeing all kinds of elegant style buildings. So the style of the fire courtyard and the nearby buildings is very elegant. The building is in harmony with the natural environment, so much so that the building itself is a landscape.
Although the strength of the monks in the Iris Valley is not high, the Golden Cicada True Monarch is very good to his subordinates, basically, every Qi cultivator in the valley can have a single small building, and each small building is connected to each other by flower paths. The open space in front of the small building is all up to the owner's own mind. Plant a variety of flowers and trees for decoration. As a result, the complex looks like a luxury resort, full of all kinds of understated elegance and subtlety.
Each small building in the Iris Valley has its own name, and the residential building of Steward Song located in the courtyard of Lihuo also has its own name, which is called Mingdian Building. Mr. Song likes to call himself the "landlord" of the Mingdian Building. This Ming Dianlou is said to be close in architectural style to the Zichen Hall of the Song Kingdom, which was the place where the Prime Minister of the Song Kingdom handled official business.
Wei Erniang and Song Lu also live in the Lihuo Courtyard, a single small building is close to the Mingdian Building, three scattered small buildings form the front hall of the Lihuo Courtyard, as for the atrium and the back garden of the Lihuo Courtyard, it is a place for the monks of the Iris Valley to play - originally the Lihuo Courtyard has the only branch of the Iris Valley spiritual vein spring, so the monks like to meditate here, and meditate as a leisure way.
The Ming Dian Building is also a three-story building, built very widely, and the Song manager also regarded it as a place to live and work, and all the small buildings in the Iris Valley are not only inhabited by the landlord. Basically, each landlord had to hire a few retinues to serve him, some of these employees were mortals, and some were low-level qi refining cultivators. They live with the landlord, and Iris Valley never interferes with the landlord's recruitment, and of course, iris valley does not interfere with how much salary the landlord is willing to pay to the employee.
There is never love for no reason in the world, Qingshu supported the construction of the clouds, and after he finished building the Iron Furnace Fort and Xiyong Castle on both sides of the peaks, he saw that the Song Governor still did not let go of the spiritual vein spring, he simply built his own residence in the atrium of the fire courtyard, and then asked the Yuanying monk to take action, in the name of building the Sancai Array, the spiritual vein spring of the Mingdian Building was moved to the Qingshu Building in his type of residence. At this point, he has completely completed the control of Iris Valley, as for who to complain to about the grievances of Manager Song, Qingshu doesn't care, and Yunduo is closed.
The Golden Cicada True Monarch is a single fire spirit root, so the spirit vein where the Iris Valley is located is actually a fire spirit vein, and the main trunk of this fire spirit vein leads to the Chaoxia Bee - the Chaoxia Bee is an active volcano, according to this volcano, the Xuantian Gate has set up its own refining alchemy earth fire oven. The Furnace Fort has a fire spirit vein, which can be regarded as a veritable "Iron Furnace" fort.
Because of the existence of this fire spirit vein, the iris valley is like spring all year round, and the temperature is always maintained at about 24 degrees. But this fire spirit vein is actually not suitable for the cultivation of the water spirit root, and this is even more true of the location of the main branch of the fire spirit vein. There is no difference on weekdays, but every year from the Dragon Boat Festival to the Chongyang Festival, the energy of the Yang is at its peak, and even if there is no pill furnace in the Cicada Courtyard, it is still steaming like a baking oven.
However, the people of Iris Valley tacitly forgot about this, and the clouds ...... I can only pretend to be ignorant and put up with this.
Yun Duo needs a growth period, he needs time to digest the huge memories in Jin Xiang Zhenjun's mind, he needs to know more about the common sense of cultivation, he needs to lie dormant and wait for adulthood.
The days just went by slowly. Half a year later, after Qingshu was busy with the work at hand and straightened out the financial situation of Iris Valley, he remembered to hand over the sect's uniform and the nameplate symbolizing the identity of the sect's disciple to Yunduo - for Aoki, he had been entering more than a hundred years ago, and he had forgotten the details of the entry.
So, he came to the Mingcia Courtyard and explained as it should be: "Senior brother, when I came back, I helped you register in the Courtyard (where the head handles affairs), I helped you get these things, and I will help you get your monthly income in the future, you don't have to be distracted, just cultivate."
Our Xuantianmen did not recruit disciples in this year's Dengxian Society, and there are only a few sect relatives who are new to the entrance, oh, Huang Wan'er, who came with you, has been assigned to serve in the Spirit Grass Garden, and Biliu agreed with her that when she has passed the three-year sect intensive study period, she will join the Iris Valley and worship under the Biliu Sect.
As for you, cough cough, anyway, Su Zhi is by your side, and I have brought back the disciple token for you, if you don't understand Su Zhi, she will sue you. You don't have to participate in the intensive study of the sect. ”
After a pause, Qingshu continued: "In the recent days, Bixi Biliu has recruited forty qi practitioners per person, the qi refining cultivators who originally belonged to the Iris Valley have twenty-two people who have joined their workshop, and there are fifty-eight outer disciples. ”
Speaking of this, Qingshu smiled proudly: "This, thank you junior brother." (To be continued......)
