Chapter 211: The Difference Between Making Soy Sauce and Making MSG (Part I)
Chapter 211 The difference between making soy sauce and making monosodium glutamate
The head was silent for a moment and responded: "You can guess so. ”
Yun Duo gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll stick to it, I'll find a chance to break through, boss, goodbye!"
When Yun Duo turned off the communication jade jian, he also heard the tail note of the master: "Alas, Qingzhu, wait, I haven't finished talking yet......"
The clouds decisively cut off the communication.
Yun Duo thought for a while, he turned his head to look at Ding Ling, who was hurrying over, and asked, "There are 200,000 people in Jieyin Mansion who will be abandoned, can we have mercy?"
Ding Ling immediately thought about Yun Duo's words: "Master, we only have 30,000 people in Moyun City, and we have the burden of revealing the underworld, which means that we have to rely on 30,000 people to feed 200,000 people—how is this possible?"
Yun Duo smiled bitterly: "Jieyang Town and Jieyin Mansion are not the main direction of attack of demon beasts, it is a pity that these two nodes are lost, and it has taken hundreds of years for human beings to build...... It's better for us to send someone over to take over the Jieyin Mansion, and we don't need to send many people, just a small team of five people, and let them go with the teleportation array.
Of course, I will never sacrifice my men at will, I know who my people are, my mercy only covers my people, saving the 200,000 people, not on the premise of losing my people - I allow the monks to decide when to evacuate, and once they decide that the situation is in danger, they can decide whether to evacuate or not. What do you think?
As for what you said about 30,000 people to feed 200,000, this is also incorrect. The 200,000 people in Jieyin Mansion can fully support themselves, where two days are a lot, can they exchange grain for goods. We only need to invest a small number of management personnel, which is equivalent to an additional food base out of thin air, and then Moyun City can grow more valuable agricultural products, such as medicinal herbs. For example, nectar......"
Ding Ling thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "If you say that...... Jieyin Mansion and Jieyang Town don't have any valuable production, and it will be difficult for us to maintain such a territory, but food, oh, our city will soon have a population of 30,000. In the future, if it develops into a commercial city, the number of immigrants will ...... Well, since the master has decided, then we have no choice but to carry it out.
Alas, speaking of which, more than 200,000 people, 200,000 lives, were evacuated like this, and 200,000 people were lost to demon beasts. It's cruel. I remember that the Jieyin Mansion was built from the end of the last beast tide, and it took hundreds of years for humans to finally gain a foothold in the forest, and now, hundreds of years of hard work have been in vain. ”
Yun Duo still has the memory of Jin Xiang Zhenjun in his mind, and in Jin Xiang Zhenjun's memory, he has personally experienced two beast tides. Every time the beast tide first broke out, the human monks always underestimated the energy of the demon beast. I thought they were just making a small fight this time, and they couldn't make it into a big climate.
Wait until the power of the monster beast rush weakens - basically. The monsters would break through to the left bank of the river, then confront the monks across the river, and then infiltrate the right bank of the river on a small scale, and then look for an opportunity to break through to the right bank, but the monsters couldn't hold out for long. Because the right bank of the river is well developed, the environment there is extremely unsuitable for the survival of monsters.
Every time a beast tide erupts. Only when the defense lines of the two sides stabilized did the humans dare to be sure that the beast tide had really broken out. Then he began to integrate his forces and prepare for a battle for land and space with the demon beasts, and this process of integrating forces usually took one or two decades, during which he experienced countless prevarications. and competing with each other for rankings, redrawing spheres of influence, and so on.
At the same time, the abandoned lands on the left bank of the river were all thrown to the demon beasts. When the beast tide was finally suppressed by humans, and humans set foot on the land on the left bank again, those abandoned ordinary people had disappeared without a trace, and I don't know if they were eaten by demon beasts or lost in the forest.
Ding Ling continued: "It's just...... Oh, we're going to send someone over to take over, it's almost a life-and-death task - the city is surrounded by monsters, how can we defend it, how can we defend it? In this dangerous situation, who will we send over, and will the people sent be willing to go?
One of the questions that Shizun often talks about is -- what are we fighting for? Why should they go if they are asked to manage Jieyin Mansion and Jieyang Town?
"Then divide the seal-", Yun Duo gritted his teeth and replied: "You go and inform everyone: those who are willing to manage Jieyang Town and Jieyin Mansion will be his family's vegetable garden from now on." He is free to enjoy the fruits of his territory, while I only demand a unified jurisdiction and a unified market.
Of course, in the unitary market there are also taxes, and each family collects its own tax, since it is their territory, they have the right to determine the tax rate themselves, and I only ask them to pay me a symbolic administrative tax, "levy", which is commonly known as a subordinate tax, a conquest tax. As for the unitary jurisdiction...... I don't want to appoint judges or anything at home, it's too expensive, judges are appointed, but only those who have passed the judgeship with us......"
The specific implementation plan of the so-called sub-sealing system is, of course, a very large project. The implementation rules are enough to write more than ten books, and Yunduo just emphasized the general principles, as for the specific methods, they must be continuously improved in the implementation process, but this is no longer a matter of Yunduo - whose vegetable garden belongs to whom.
As for what the clouds can get out of it...... Big market, with a big market, the sales volume of their own products has gone up, will the cloud collect less tax?
Of course, this last bit of cloud is not to be killed.
After this news was announced, the monks immediately stopped seeing going to Jieyang Town and Jieyin Mansion as a burden. Although Jieyang Town is only a new city, and Jieyin Mansion's main income is grain production, the former has a small amount of special elixir, and the latter has a population of 200,000. Sitting in such a city, even if a person only charges one spirit stone a month, it is a huge profit.
Soon after the order was given, about 100 monks immediately responded to the call......
In the past, the work of guarding Jieyang Town and Jieyin Mansion was usually carried out by monks who practiced to the Great Perfection of Qi Training, but their life limit was approaching, and it was difficult to go further on the road of cultivating truth. Occasionally, some cultivators in the middle and early stages of Qi refining also go to gamble somewhere. But this time, the most enthusiastic ones were those young monks in the middle and early stages of Qi refining.
They privately believe that they used to practice while ...... Running a city, spending a decade or two amassing a fortune, and then selling the jurisdiction – a feud. This jurisdiction itself has the right to produce beasts. In this way, the cultivation of the second half of the life will not worry about money.
The strange thing is that none of the foundation building monks were willing to leave Moyun City this time.
Yun Duo refused to apply for the monks alone, and he asked the monks to form teams of at least five people. Each came up with his own method of administering the city, and then compared it between the groups, and only those who he thought fit could obtain jurisdiction over the two cities.
The initial screening period lasts for three days, after which there will be a formal election in the Sapphire Castle, and once the ruler of the city has been determined, these people must leave that day and arrive in the city they administer that night.
In fact, all the major sects retreated. There were many cities they had discarded, and only two had been put up for auction so far, and the monks who felt that they could not compete with others were disappointed and asked to run for jurisdiction in other cities—which the clouds again refused. Because he chose Jieyin Mansion and Jieyang Town to take over, but his hometown was there, and he couldn't bear to give up so many innocent villagers.
As for the rest of the place - the clouds didn't want to stretch their hands too long so that they wouldn't be strung to death.
Of course. That's all for later.
At that time, the clouds said after the separation. Qingshu's communication came in, and the clouds didn't exchange sound with the green tree before, but Qingshu somehow found a jade slip that could communicate with the clouds, so he connected to the clouds.
"Qingzhu, let me tell you that we may turn against Danxia Sect...... Well. Well, even if the sect doesn't turn against the Danxia Sect, but now the situation is chaotic, and the Danxia Sect relies on the pills in its hands to constantly threaten the interests of various sects. At the same time, the price of pills in the market is constantly increasing, and this door has to find new ways to take pills.
A few days ago, the head of the sect came to my Iris Valley and asked about the Alchemy Workshop in Iris Valley, only to find that the familiar hands were gone, leaving only some low-grade alchemists, whose skills could only refine some low-grade pills used in the Qi refining period, and what we needed was ...... After talking to you just now, the head of the sect found me again and asked me to persuade you to return to the sect as soon as possible. Ancestor Jinteng is waiting for you by the river, as long as you break through to the river and give a signal, Ancestor Jinteng will cover you to cross the river.
Of course, you can bring back as many people as you can, and now that all sects are fighting hard, we need as many people as possible...... Of course, the above I am just repeating the meaning of the master, by the way, our master has been sober more and more recently, and it is estimated that he will be able to break through the barrier soon. ”
Yun Duo didn't ask why the order to retreat from the gate was not issued to him, and there was no point in pursuing this at this time. It is estimated that the Overseer was chasing after him at that time, and the Inspector did not want to provoke the Overseer, so he forgot to inform him to retreat. Later, the situation changed dramatically, and the Xuantian Gate needed more clouds than the clouds needed the Xuantian Gate, so the sect came to greet him......
I understand, I understand, Yun Duo is a little congested, but he has no intention of going back, so he has no urge to pursue it - the territory here is his own decision, and when he returns to the sect, he will be controlled by others, so why bother?
"Actually, everyone is recruiting troops at this time, right?" said Yun Duo faintly, "Actually, there is a force that we can use - such as casual cultivation." ”
Qingshu replied quickly: "No, the Scattered Cultivation has always been under the jurisdiction of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance......
"I only want to ask two questions: first, what is the binding force of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance on Scattered Cultivation? Second, is Loose Cultivation eager to join the various sects, especially those like the Xuantian Sect?"
Qingshu was silent, and Yun Duo paused for a moment, and continued to say slowly: "Actually, if this question goes deeper, you can also ask: How much favor does the Scattered Cultivation Alliance usually have to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, so that the Scattered Cultivators are willing to obey the command of the Alliance?
"This ......"
"If this question evolves a little further, I can also ask: When the Immortal Gate is opened, the act of recruiting disciples once every ten years, must this agreement be observed? When the manpower of the various sects is tight, my Xuantian Gate does not use the power of casual cultivation, do other sects also maintain a tacit understanding and refuse to join the sect?"
"I understood, and I immediately consulted with the master. ”
"We lack alchemy, we have it in casual cultivation, we lack refining tools, we have it in casual cultivation, we lack cannon fodder for charging into battle, we have it in casual cultivation. Start early, we will jump first for the talents in the loose cultivation, and if we start later, everyone else will pick up the good hands. As for the level of talent in the casual cultivation, the level is not high. That's not afraid, they just didn't get the knowledge of the system before, as long as the sect gave them a little sunshine, they would definitely be brilliant. ”
"That's right, that's right!"
"What I also want to say is: the outside world is big, don't come and stare at your own brothers. ”
Aoki smiled suddenly. He knew who Yun Duo was referring to: the head of the family, Qinglin, was also from the Qing generation, and Yun Duo could call the other party a senior brother. In the past, Iris Valley was excluded in the door, all because the people in the door were red-eyed, and the people who felt that Iris Valley was not hard. Yun Duo here implicitly blames the sect for its past practices: the world is very big, if you want something to fight outside, don't always think about taking food from your brother's bowl - there is a lot of food outside.
After hanging up the communication, Ding Ling, who couldn't hold back for a long time, immediately reported: "Master, there are still many expatriate monks stranded in our East and West guest houses, and now some of these monks have decided to form a team. Ready to retreat together to the right bank of the river, but there were also some monks who decided not to go, who applied to join our ranks, and these monks ...... What did the master decide to do?"
Yun Duo thought for a moment and replied, "In this difficult time, we must unite the greatest forces - those who are willing to join us will go to the White Jade Fort to register, and let Bixi take them all in. Send them to work in various workshops, and then ...... We'll base it on their performance. Decide how to place. ”
That is to say: these people will not be regarded as core disciples, and many secrets of the White Jade Castle will not be known to them. They can only be migrant workers, and only when their loyalty is confirmed will they be recruited as their own.
"Also, the monks who came with us, you pick a group of outstanding people. Well, select a hundred candidates, among whom there must be those monks who are facing the threshold of foundation building and are preparing to build a foundation, and also add some ......".
The clouds paused. Thinking about the wording, he said slowly: "In the past, I selected seed monks within the Xuantian Gate, and only considered the cultivation of those monks, but our Moyun City is about to face a siege, so it doesn't matter how high or low our cultivation is, what we need most are those monks who can uphold our rules and treat Moyun City as their own home - they will fight for themselves, be determined, and willing to abide by our rules, so we must reward him!"
Ding Ling immediately continued: "I understand, Shizun wants to cultivate a group of 'own people', only those who sincerely follow us are valued by us, as for those who are proud of their talents because of their high cultivation, and who are not of the same heart as us, no matter how high his potential is, he doesn't treat us as his own people, and we don't have to take a hot face to stick a cold fart and stocks." ”
"That's it", Yun Duo nodded emphatically: "You go and do things quickly—let Wei Qing'er and Huang Wan'er pacify the people as soon as possible, and our monks also need to be appeased." Tell the monks: We have no way out, we have fallen into the encirclement of demon beasts, and we can only unite with each other ......."
As he said this, the sound transmission jade slips in the arms of the monks rang out in unison, and everyone took out the sound transmission jade slips one after another...... After a while, all the monks got the same message: Fenglingdu had fallen, the other two ferries on the river had fallen at the same time, and the river had been completely occupied by the demon beasts. The various sects have issued orders for the monks to consider the direction of the breakout as appropriate, and to allow the monks to evacuate from the forest......
During the communication, no one in Moyun City talked to each other about being attacked by strangers in the city, as if the vigorous offensive and defensive battle did not exist. At that time, most of the monks of the Blue Jade Fort were busy counting and registering the spoils, and then discussing the principle of dividing the spoils, and at the same time considering how to take over Jieyang Town and Jieyin Mansion...... They were all very busy, and even such a major event as the fall of Fenglingdu could not affect their ecstasy.
Soon, new war announcements were sent from within the various major factions, and there was no mention of the disappearance of the war overseers as a whole. But from all kinds of signs, it is speculated that Duohua Zhenren made small moves behind his back, and there were people within the war supervisor who knew about it. However, the Overseer team is a special group on the front line, and they have always been separated from the participating monks, independently building some of their own intelligence systems, but they are not willing to share secrets. Therefore, the teams did not pay much attention to the whereabouts of Duohua Zhenren.
At this time, the monks who participated in the war were complaining: those overseers were always "at a critical moment, and they could not count on it". As for the remaining overseers of each team, they were absolutely silent about the whereabouts of Duohua Zhenren, and during the call, none of them jumped out to ask about Moyun City.
Perhaps, the rest of the Overseers were in the know, but they thought that since Moyun City had not announced that it had been attacked. Perhaps the Overseer was besieged by monsters on the way forward, and thus ...... Temporary loss of contact.
But there is no guarantee that perhaps the warlords on the way heard the news of the deterioration of the situation at the front and abandoned their intention to attack. He turned around and fled. I didn't even have time to inform others...... After all, this kind of thing is not very glorious, and before it succeeds, it is better for everyone to maintain the "collective honor".
Ultimately. The arrogant team of Overseers disappeared silently, and the surging front-line reports quickly diverted people's attention, and no one ever talked about the whereabouts of the two-hundred-man team again......
Yunduo's aftermath work was also trying to downplay the battle, he withdrew from the feudal system to attract the attention of the monks, quickly distributed the spoils of war to stabilize the hearts of the monks, and at the same time successively introduced a number of policies to attract the monks' minds to the selection. So, after the war. The monks no longer talk about their respective combat performances, but meet each other and ask, "Today, have you been chosen?"
"Alas, I heard that this selection is a reward, what do you think the city lord intends to reward?"
"Oops, I'm a little bit short of contributions, man, give me a little bit of contribution points. I'll compensate you tenfold when I turn around......"
"What? You want me to let me, I'm only three points away. You are more than 100 points short! Why don't you give me 3 points, and I will pay you 3......0 points when you go back."
......
After the Great War, Moyun City was also very busy, and there were constantly scattered monks who fled to the direction of Moyun City, but such people were a minority after all, after all, Moyun City was deeper into the front line than where they were. If they deliberately fled in the direction of Moyun City, they would have to break deeper into the forest.
However, since Moyun City is equivalent to the monk's contact center, once the monk's team is scattered, they will be in a panic. Moyun City's direction guidance was the only lifesaver. So, desperate, the monks simply concentrated on the highest hill nearby, which happened to be Moyunling.
The mortal people in the city rarely talked about the battle after the battle, but they often had some more immortal treasures in their homes, such as the broken robes on the immortals, the broken weapons, and so on. They had also participated in that war, and they were afraid of the revenge of the immortals, so they naturally did not dare to talk much about the plight of the immortals. At most, they also avoided each other's eyes from the immortals, and talked about how powerful the extra things in their homes were......
After they arrived in Moyun City, they were led by the monks to the white jade mine not far away, and the white jade mine will be entrusted to them to mine in the future, and the monks have opened up a wide official road to the white jade mine, and even built a railway line driven by spirit stones and shaped like a train.
This handover and takeover took place at the same time as the Great War. The fierce battle over the Blue Jade Fort did not affect the handover work of the monks, even when the war was at its most intense, the explosions of aerial spells continued one after another, and the monks working in the mine still leisurely cleaned the hillside near the ore vein, and when they cleared a flat land large enough to build houses, the resource inventory of the white jade mine site also came to an end.
Vacant houses, mines, railroad lines, etc., are registered, and then signed by the head of the family, who is elected by the descendants of the Korean royal family. Of course, the resources left behind by the monks in the jade mines were not transferred for nothing, and any little investment would eventually be converted into shares, and the exiled Korean king-sun would have to pay off his debts with his own proceeds after taking over the mines.
When the debt is settled, the two parties will jointly own the jade vein according to the fixed shareholding ratio - the monks account for 70% of the share capital, and of this 70%, Yun Duo personally accounts for 40%.
According to the previous agreement, although the monks held a large proportion of shares, they did not participate in the operation and operation of the white jade mine, and the monks also completely delegated power to the residential area where the mine was located, so the land near the mine was equal to the fief of the exiled king's grandson. Through this feudal system, the monks decentralized their administrative powers, reducing their own administrative costs, but the benefits were strengthened in the form of a controlling stake.
At the same time, the followers brought by Liu Ziqing, as well as the civilians who had been hiding in the Blue Jade Fort during the battle, were transferred to the iron ore mines, where they were to establish a new town. Yunduo named the new town Black Iron Town, and the settlement established by the exiled Wang Sun was named Hanyu Town.
For such newly established villages and towns, Han Yu Town adopts a management method similar to the sub-feudal system, and although Heitie Town is directly administered, it adopts a more primitive form of elder council - nine elders are freely elected by the residents, and these five elders elect their own leaders, and finally. This commander (mayor) is responsible for forming an administrative team to administer the village and town. This is equivalent to an indirect electoral system.
Of course, the various buildings built by the early monks in the Iron Fort also had to be sold at a price to the relocated people, who needed work to pay off their debts. After paying off their debts, they were able to take a stake in the iron ore and share the profits with the monks.
Under the deliberate guidance of Yunduo, the following days were all high-speed operation in Moyun City, a large amount of information was gathered to Yunduo, and Moyun City issued a large number of tasks at the same time.
The clouds are small government here. Today, Moyun City has jurisdiction over five villages and towns, as well as a large city with a population of 30,000, and there are two other cities to take over, but the monks who manage these cities and villages are actually only Huang Wan'er and Wei Qing'er. Although these two female cultivators had a few attendants around them to help, these attendants were too young and did not learn all the words. At most, I will help with errands.
Liu Ziqing's return has eased Huang Wan'er's workload. Liu Ziqing has a staff team, of course. There are only more than ten people in this team, but with the help of the immortal family's spells, the administrative efficiency of these more than ten people far exceeds that of the inland government.
With the help of the communication system made by the immortals, officials could instantly send administrative orders to various villages, towns, and streets. As long as the newsletter is placed in meeting mode, many executive orders can be read out once. It took only three to five minutes. In the interior, officials need to inform everyone village by village, which takes at least ten days.
The smooth flow of communication has brought about a great improvement in administrative efficiency, and it also means: Officials have been doing almost the work of the past few months in a day. In the past, officials had to send a large number of people to check the tax items of various industries, which took at least three or four months...... Liu Ziqing and his staff team only worked for an hour, and they had already cleaned up.
Five days later, at nightfall, Liu Ziqing officially took over the administrative power of Moyun City, and at the same time, the team that took over Jieyin Mansion and Jieyang City had set off, and these two five-person teams composed of Qi cultivators carried a mail teleportation array with them, and this teleportation array would greatly stabilize the hearts of the locals.
Once the monks have officially established order in the area, Moyun City will no longer be isolated, but will be connected to the three nearby cities. Together, they will be integrated into the Moyun City system......
The entourage walked in with a spirit stone lamp, Liu Ziqing stretched his waist, and said casually: "I heard that the following villages and towns have uniformly installed indoor spirit stone lamps, as long as the switch light is turned on, there is no need to move the lamp around, we will also install this kind of indoor lamp in the future......"
Looking back at his work achievements on this day, Liu Ziqing felt crazy: within this day, he had two more villages and towns under his name: Heitie Town and Hanyu Town. Not only that, but he also cleared up the cases that had accumulated before, settled the taxes in the city, appointed lower-level administrative officials in each sub-district and village, held dialogues with the new officials, counted the household registration, resettled tens of thousands of new exiles, and compiled household registers for them...... All this work was done in one day, and Liu Ziqing found it unbelievable when he thought about it.
Stretching on the stool again, Liu Ziqing held a cup of tea and walked to the corridor next to the official office.
At night, the lights of Moyun City gradually lit up, this city was built by immortals, and the street lamps were buried on the ground. When the surrounding environment is dim to a certain extent, the original road signs will automatically light up with faint fluorescence. The light doesn't look dazzling, but it illuminates the street brick by brick.
Looking at the main street in the distance, the center of the city is built with two symmetrical high-rise buildings, originally these two high-rise buildings are a bell tower, a drum tower, next to it must be the official office, this is the usual architectural pattern of the inland city, but now, the city's official office moved to the city wall, the whole city wall is built by immortals, at present, it seems that the safety and reliability are far better than the houses in the city center, so the officials also extinguished the meaning of moving the official office. When night comes, standing on a high place and enjoying the night view of the city is also a favorite leisure way for officials.
These officials all have family members, and their families also live upstairs, and they have all kinds of immortal treasures at home. I feel that life is much more convenient than on flat ground. And the feeling of being high above is very subtle, and the space where children usually play is very wide - the whole castle tower is their playground.
When the lights of the whole city are lit up, Moyun City is particularly dreamy. The lights on the promenade frame the image of the city, and because of the illumination, the city becomes a city that never sleeps, even in the middle of the night. On the contrary, at night, when the family members who worked in the fairy workshop came home, the people had time to go shopping and play.
The only regret is that because of the forcible insertion of the three ladies of the peach blossoms, the bell tower and drum tower in the center of the city have lost their solemnity and become the entertainment center of Yan Wusheng song, so that the streets are filled with glamour tones. The bell tower, although there was still a huge spirit stone bell hanging on the roof. Four spar cannons are erected on the windows of the clock tower, but on the floor just below the gun emplacement, extravagant songs and dances are now being staged.
Those kabuki were all personally selected and trained by the Three Lady of Peach Blossom, and the origin of the kabuki is very complicated, including the exiled people and the female slaves purchased by Liu Ziqing from Korea, and some of them are low-level female cultivators who the Three Lady of Peach Blossom found out of nowhere. Now, under the night sky. The bell tower is brightly lit and the air is filled with a mesmerizing sweet scent. and the sound of delicate music.
And, of course, there are the aromas of the food – the Drum Tower, which has been turned into a Soul Restaurant, sells a very expensive meal that is said to be equivalent to a Qi tonifying pill and tastes wonderful. For this reason, the guests who have the courage to climb the drum tower are basically local tyrants among the immortals.
As the administrator of the city, Liu Ziqing's group of officials are also qualified to board the Bell and Drum Tower to sign orders, but because the Bell and Drum Tower was opened by the three ladies of Peach Blossoms. This enchantress never gave face to the officials, and never gave credit to the monks, so even if Liu Ziqing went, he was reluctant to do so - even if he signed the bill at the time, the account would have to be paid afterwards, and the money paid would eventually be deducted from the official's allowance. And the price of the bell and drum tower for a night of leisure definitely makes a county magistrate like Liu Ziqing feel painful.
If you are afraid of things in the world, you are afraid that you will "think about it and ask for it, but you can't get it", which will cause hatred due to jealousy. But because the officials can get this dessert with just a little footfoot, there is no hatred in the envy and jealousy of the officials...... Slobber. Standing on the city wall, looking at the noise and singing and dancing in the center of the city, I only imagined that one day I would be able to experience it for myself.
After a while, one of the staff members said sourly: "I heard that the situation on the front line is very bad, and some people think that this is already an outbreak of the beast tide, but ...... Alas, listen, there is no nervousness in the singing and dancing here. ”
Liu Ziqing shook the teacup in his hand, glanced at the staff reproachfully, and reminded: "Zichen, don't say sour words." In all fairness, there is a right to sing and dance here. Other people's disasters are not caused by us, and it is not our responsibility to eliminate other people's disasters, and with us, the immortals completely protected the city, completely repelled the enemy, and they ...... Why can't we sing and dance?"
Another staff member immediately chimed in: "Yes." Brother Zichen, I heard that the monks elsewhere are retreating, this night, I don't know how many things happened in the forest, we can chat here leisurely with a cup of tea, what a lucky thing, why can't we be so leisurely?"
Zichen, a staff member who was reprimanded, let out a long sigh: "I don't know what our next situation will be?" Alas, I heard that the monks elsewhere have been evacuated, how can we go back to these thousands of miles? Without the protection of the monks, we are afraid that we will never see the world again. ”
Zichen's words didn't feel much heaviness, because he thought in his heart: Anyway, Moyun City still has a teleportation array leading to the rear, if the matter is urgent, it's a big deal for everyone to withdraw through this teleportation array. And now he is one of the few managers of the city, and it is not a problem to leave a way for his family to retreat.
Liu Ziqing sighed, he shook his head, and reminded everyone: "When Huang Xiangu (Huang Wan'er) left the city, she quietly told me that the teleportation array of Paradise Station had been closed, and Fenglingdu had fallen, and the teleportation array leading to Fenglingdu had been taken away by the evacuees, and there was further news until the past few days. ”
The news sounded like a thunderbolt above everyone's heads, and after a while, Zichen, who was shocked, stammered, "So, we are also trapped in the forest?"
Liu Ziqing's expression was not so nervous, but his tone was still heavy: "That's right." It is said that an order had been issued from above to allow the monks to evacuate, but because the back road was cut off, the lord decided to hold on for the time being...... That said, we're stuck in the forest. ”
Many of the staff members were already paralyzed with fright. At this time, it was not known who was singing in the bell tower. A high-pitched female voice sang a tactful high note that pierced the hustle and bustle of the city, but now it sounded particularly ironic.
Liu Ziqing shrugged his shoulders and added, "But it's nothing, I heard that the evacuated people of Fenglingdu are looking for a peaceful place and are preparing to re-place the teleportation array, and everyone knows it." The outside world is in chaos, the attacks are constantly going on everywhere, and the world is so big that it is difficult to put down a quiet desk.
But as soon as they find a peaceful place and re-place the teleportation array, we will no longer be trapped in the forest, and when the time comes, you can advance or retreat. Don't worry about the situation at all. ”
Liu Ziqing said this, and calmly added: "When Huang Xiangu told me the news. The expressions were not very nervous, and I guessed that the monks who had withdrawn from Fenglingdu would probably return to Pingxi City, which was under the jurisdiction of Xuantianmen, and then set up a teleportation array in Pingxi City......
In any case, the Xuantian Gate is also one of the five major sects. Although there were losses in the two battles, it was not a problem to maintain the status of the five major sects. ”
Liu Ziqing deliberately paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard Huang Xiangu talking to someone on the phone, and Xuantianmen not only did not retreat from defense, but wanted to attack everywhere. Therefore, the head of their sect also came to ask if they could mobilize the power of Moyun City. ”
Liu Ziqing paused for a moment, and added in a relaxed tone: "However, this request has been rejected by the city lord, and it is said that the city lord responded that our Moyun City has been attacked by demon beasts, and now we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we really can't spare the strength to help this sect." ”
"That's good, that's good", most of the staff members patted their chests together when they heard the news, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although these mortals have a short lifespan, they don't know how many times they have seen the story of the prosperity of dynasties in the history recorded by their predecessors, whenever the beast tide breaks out, it is also a good time for the landlocked countries to fight each other, not only the mortal world will break out into a huge war, the immortals are also taking advantage of the chaos to attack each other's opponents, and wait until the turmoil changes, complete the reshuffle, at this time, the immortals will remember that the strong enemy is outside, and then, gather strength to deal with the beast tide.
After fifty years of life, I was unfortunately born at the time of the outbreak of the beast tide, and it was so difficult to find a peaceful place. Therefore, to a certain extent, even a city like Moyun City, which is deep in the Demon Beast Forest, as long as it can stay away from the chaos of war and the flames of war, it is not a paradise in everyone's minds.
After calming down, they heard the singing and dancing from the bell tower again, and the staff felt that the singing had become particularly pleasant.
Under the night sky, the dotted people took to the streets with loads of goods - the night market began.
As the lights of the night market come on, the aroma of various foods rises into the sky of the city...... However, the war eventually affected the mood of the people, so although there were many people setting up stalls in the night market, there were very few people who came out to consume, and occasionally a few wandering the streets of the night market were basically new homeless people watching the scenery, or simply monks who had nothing to do.
A staff member turned his head to look in the direction of the Blue Jade Castle, through the thick city wall, he could not see the existence of the Blue Jade Castle, however, the sky where the Blue Jade Castle was located was very bright, it was estimated that the Blue Jade Castle was also brightly lit, and the monks inside were also busy...... What are they up to?
On this night, the monks of the Blue Jade Castle were in the final selection process, and the backbone of the team led by Yun Duo was busy formulating the follow-up strategy of the Blue Jade Castle.
Judging from the situation of that battle, equipping ordinary people with spirit stone guns played a major role in defense, and in the next step, the workshop needed to increase production capacity, and strive to equip each person with a spirit stone gun, rather than one per household.
In addition, for the common people of the city, simple military training was required to organize their spontaneous resistance and equip them with a certain level of tactical literacy, for which the monks had to develop a corresponding training plan......
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, at dawn, a light snow suddenly fell in the sky above Moyun Ridge.
As the silk-like snow was about to fall to the ground, it encountered a protective shield over the town, and then it was heated into a lukewarm rain by the circle.
The rain fell to the ground, and the entire sky over Moyun Ridge became wet and foggy.
When the sun rises again, the sky over the city changes with colorful rainbows, and many of the weeds that have gone into hibernation are awakened by the rain and mist, and in the sun, stretch their delicate branches - spring is coming.
As far as the eye can see, on the gentle slope of the southern foot of the Moyun Mountains, all the settlements near the settlements are in spring, but above the sky, there are snowflakes......
Ding Ling, Wei Qing'er and Huang Wan'er didn't sleep all night, and in the early morning, he complained: "It is said that the ruling party has great power, but you and I are so busy that we don't even have time to cultivate, ah, Chang Lei is about to break through the early stage of foundation building, I am still wandering here in the early stage, no, after this busy time, I will also retreat." ”
Yun Duo walked out of his room and asked, "Are you ready?"
Ding Ling straightened his chest and replied: "Okay, according to the meaning of the master: the hundred monks selected are all outside, and among these hundred monks, there are not only monks who have achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, but also monks who have just entered the threshold of Qi refining, and a few who belong to the middle level of Qi refining, in addition, there are also those street children collected by Liu Ziqing. This time, we don't look at cultivation, but all at personal contributions. ”
"Then let's go", Yun waved his hand, and the huge gunboat passed through the corridor of the floor and landed in the clearing in the center of the castle. Ding Ling hurriedly beckoned these people to board the gunboat, and after a while, after Yunduo finished handling the affairs at hand and boarded the gunboat, the gunboat took off and flew in the direction of Peach Blossom Valley.
The gunboat successfully penetrated the obstacles of Peach Blossom Valley and landed in the open space in front of Peach Blossom Valley.
Here in Peach Blossom Valley, because of the existence of hot springs, the air is particularly humid, and the snowflakes penetrate the protective circle of Peach Blossom Valley and fall on the ground, which also makes Peach Blossom Valley here, with a strong sense of spring. (To be continued......)
