Chapter 34: Formation
Five days have passed since the beast tide attacked the city, this morning, the sky has not yet dawned, Chen Jianghong is wearing a brand-new robe, holding a compass in his hand, and walked out of the palace, Chen Jianghong seems to be aimlessly holding the compass, looking east and west, and stopping from time to time, staring at the pointer of the compass, looking at it for a long time, frowning, as if he was calculating something.
When the pedestrians on the road saw Chen Jianghong coming, they all came to salute and say hello, Chen Jianghong just nodded, and walked away without saying much.
Wei Dongxian, Zhang Da and other monks also walked out of the house when they got the news, and looked at Chen Jianghong who was chattering in confusion.
Chen Jianghong held the compass in one hand, pinched the trick in the other, pointed his thumb on his index finger, and recited words in his mouth: "The door of death belongs to the soil, lives in the southwest Kun Palace, the wounded door belongs to the wood, lives in the East Zhen Palace, the door belongs to gold, and lives in the northwest Qiangong ........."
"Hey, is the prince going to set up a formation? "Chen Jianghong taught Lu Hong the "Kunlun Formation", recently Lu Hong is studying how to combine the formation with the construction of the house, and has some experience, but more is confused, he now has an ambition in his heart, that is, to apply the high formation to the daily life of mortals.
Lu Hong now saw that Chen Jianghong was preparing to set up the formation, and hurriedly took out a small notebook and carefully recorded every step of the formation.
Chen Jianghong took the compass, buried ten spirit stones for each formation eye, and inserted an array flag made of demon beast skin.
"Hugh, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, opening, the eight doors correspond to the eight directions, the universe is reversed, water and wood are born together, fire overcomes gold, gold gives birth to water, and so on evolution, there are endless changes. After an hour, Chen Jianghong took the palace as the center and planted spirit stones and array flags in eight directions.
Then Chen Jianghong sat in the center, calm, when he was born in Chaoyang and the first ray of sunlight shone into Shuanghe City, Chen Jianghong opened his eyes suddenly, took out a formation flag more than one meter long from the Qiankun ring, waved it violently, and drank in his mouth: "Upside down the gossip array, get up!"
The eight directions of the palace were all colored with light, and finally the eight kinds of light came together, forming a pure white light shroud, enveloping the ten miles around the palace, and the palace was also the place where the formation was most tightly defended.
"The Kunlun Sect's upside-down Bagua Array is really very mysterious, not only can it hide the fluctuation of spiritual power and condense spiritual power, but also the eight doors are reversed, and it is difficult for ordinary immortal cultivators to get out when they fall into the array. โ
Now there are only thirteen people in the Qing Xuanzong on the Xianzong Continent, and a radius of ten miles is enough for everyone to live, Chen Jianghong decided to use the area around the palace as the residence of the Qing Xuanzong, and no others are allowed to enter and exit at will.
The way of the formation is broad and profound, plus the formation needs to be based on the spirit stone, the formation flag is the order, and the aura of heaven and earth can be attracted to show the wonder, these things do not exist on the earth in the end of the law era, so Chen Jianghong has never placed the formation with his own hands before, this time it is also compared with the "Kunlun Formation" in the "Upside Down Bagua Array" diagram, according to the gourd to draw the scoop, little by little the formation is put out, I didn't expect it to succeed once.
"Big mate, Zhang Da, you all come here. Chen Jianghong let go of the formation and said to Wei Dongxian and the others outside.
"This is the token for entering and exiting the formation, and if you carry it with you, you will not be affected by the formation, and you can enter and exit freely. As soon as Chen Jianghong waved his hand, Wei Dongxian and the others had an extra palm-sized token in their hands.
The tokens given by Chen Jianghong to Wei Dongxian and others can only freely enter and exit within a ten-mile radius outside the palace, while inside the palace can only be entered with Chen Jianghong's permission.
Zhang Da and the others curiously took the token, came to the mask, and found a novel toy with the children, one would come in, one would go out, and they would have a lot of fun.
Chen Jianghong and Wei Dongxian walked together in Shuanghe City.
Although it has only been five days since the beast tide, the city of Shuanghe has already changed a lot, and the city has built four vertical and four horizontal and eight smooth roads with cement and concrete, all of which are very wide enough to pass five carriages side by side.
There were also many merchants in Shuanghe City, who drove horse-drawn carts from north to south, and many hunters who were burly, dressed in animal skins, and carried prey on their backs.
The 100,000 Mountains are rich in beast skins and precious herbs, and there are many hunters with strong martial arts skills who often enter the 100,000 Mountains to hunt and collect medicines, and Shuanghe City is the closest city to the 100,000 Mountains, so it has naturally become a very important distribution center for leather goods and medicinal materials.
It's just that because of the raging beasts, the original Shuanghe City was abandoned, and the hunters naturally didn't settle here, and now Chen Jianghong led the people to defeat the beast tide and rebuild the news of Shuanghe City, which has spread in Lingnan County, and the brave hunters of the art masters also came to Shuanghe City to replenish supplies, sell the prey they hit, and the merchants who traveled south and north were also like night cats that smelled fishy, and they also flocked here, and Shuanghe City naturally became more and more prosperous.
Outsiders have to pay a copper coin for entering and leaving Shuanghe City once, and Chen Jianghong can receive more than 20 gold coins every day just for the city gate tax.
Chen Jianghong also commanded Lu Hong and other builders to build a unified standard shop in the prosperous road, a small shop of 30 square meters, selling 100 gold coins, only three days, sold 23 rooms, a total of 2,300 gold coins, and the cost of building a shop, less than 10 gold coins, seeing the huge profits in the real estate, Chen Jianghong asked Lu Hong to hire idle people who had nothing to do, formed a professional construction team, built 300 shops with cement and concrete, and kept them in their hands, waiting for the house prices to rise, and then slowly sold.
No one expected that the construction team led by Lu Hong became more and more professional in building houses, not only fast and good quality, but also beautiful in shape, Lu Hong and other builders formed fifteen construction teams, collectively known as the Qingxuan construction team, not long after, the reputation of the Qingxuan construction team spread all over Lingnan County with the businessmen who came and went, and in several surrounding cities these days, there are people who spend a lot of money to invite the Qingxuan construction team to build a house.
In this regard, Chen Jianghong could only shake his head helplessly, he didn't expect that his Qing Xuanzong would become famous for the first time on the Immortal Sect Continent because of the good building of the house and become a professional construction team, and I don't know if Master Lu Dongbin would kick himself to death if he knew.
A academy was also built in Shuanghe City, with the scholar 'Xu Yang' as the mountain chief, and two other teachers, and now there are not many students, only thirty-three little dolls.
Little dolls come to read and write, it is completely free, if they learn well, they are among the best in the month-end assessment, and there are rich scholarships, which is also a reason why the adults in the family are willing to send their children to study.
The original 500 slaves in Shuanghe City now each have their own big house and 50 acres of land, just like a rich landowner, many of them have taken over their relatives, and now every family is very busy, some have joined the construction team, receiving a high salary of one gold coin a month, some are busy cultivating their own land, preparing to plant rice, and the half-grown children in the family can also help cook, mow grass, and herd cattle.
Chen Jianghong found out that the academy had been built, but the children were all doing farm work at home and did not want to come to study and read, so he gave a death order, and in Shuanghe City, children from four to twelve years old had to come to the academy to study, otherwise the whole family would be driven out of Shuanghe City, so that the academy had more than 30 students.
"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"
Chen Jianghong stood outside the academy, smiling and listening to the children's reading voices, reading is reasonable, but also can develop people's intelligence, children should study hard, and only when they grow up can they become elites from all walks of life.
Not far outside Shuanghe City, there is a rocky mountain, which is now the cement workshop of Shuanghe City, and the builders, according to the method taught to them by Chen Jianghong, are in full swing to produce cement.
"Lord Wang, our workshop can produce ten tons of cement a day, most of the cement produced now is preferentially supplied to our Shuanghe City, but there is still surplus, the day before yesterday I sent someone to load ten tons of cement in a carriage, transported to the nearest Zemu City to us for sale, at first no one has bought, and after our people demonstrated the magic of our cement, people were stunned, rushed to buy, and finally the ten tons of cement were purchased by Vientiane Commercial Bank, a total of two thousand gold coins were sold, their Mu supervisor also said that they are ready to cooperate with us for a long time, they will regularly send people to buy our cementใ Wei Dongxian excitedly introduced.
Vientiane Trading House is the Xianzong Continent, the leading big trading house, their business is all over every corner of the Xianzong Continent, they operate all kinds of goods, not only gold and silver jewelry, ceramics, calligraphy and painting, etc., but also a variety of immortal cultivation resources, I heard that they will hold an auction every other month, and those who can participate in the auction are all rich or noble, and the things auctioned are also rare treasures.
"Lord Wang, the next auction will be held in half a month, Director Mu sent you an invitation, do you want to participate?" Wei Dongxian handed Chen Jianghong a gilded red invitation, after Chen Jianghong opened it, he found that it not only wrote that he was invited to participate in the auction, but also briefly introduced the treasures of this auction, including pills, array plates, magic weapons, spirit runes, immortal cultivation techniques, and other strange items.
Chen Jianghong also wanted to see it, and said, "When the time comes, my eldest companion will go with me." โ
