The Immortal Master

The 75th anniversary of the July 7 Incident, don't forget the sound of guns

※

There are many special institutions in Daolusi and Monklusi, and the Tumusi Department is one of them.

The Civil Engineering Department specializes in various affairs such as house design and construction, garden design and construction, road paving and bridge repair, and specializes in dealing with materials such as soil, stone, wood, and bamboo.

The Tumusi Department is not very valued in the Daolusi and Monklusi. In the entire cultivation world, the Tumusi Department is also of average importance. After all, most cultivators do not pay much attention to how they live in. They can pass up any cave or hut. What they pay more attention to is elixirs, magic weapons, armor, talismans, etc. They often spend a lot of money on this, but they are usually more stingy in accommodation.

This is understandable. After all, most people have limited resources for cultivation, and good steel needs to be used on the edge, so the accommodation conditions that are not so important are often dealt with by others.

It is precisely because of this that the Tumu Department is in the Monk Lu Department or the Daolu Department, and if it is not forcibly assigned to the Tumu Department or has a very strong preference for this, no one is willing to work in the Tumu Department.

Cold yamen generally means that there is not much oil and water. Without oil and water, it is naturally difficult to get elixirs.

Although Daolusi has eight excellent alchemists, not everyone can refine the Nine-Turning Golden Elixir. In addition, Daolusi is not provided for realm pills like the Nine-Turning Golden Elixir. Anyone who wants to get it either makes great contributions to Daolusi, has a great backer, or his own cultivation talent is favored by the big men of Daolusi. Or he has to pay for it out of his own pocket, and a Nine-Turning Golden Elixir is enough to make most cultivators lose their money.

This time, Qin Zhichu promised to each cultivator who participated in the construction of the new city of Yongding County, each with a Nine-Turn Golden Pill. The price of this can be said to exceed anyone's psychological expectations. The eighteen Taoist priests and Taoist nuns invited by Taoist Master Jianmei were all in an unspeakable excitement.

No one has considered whether Qin Zhichu has the ability to fulfill this promise yet. Or they have considered it, but are willing to believe that Qin Zhichu has the ability to fulfill his promise in the future. After all, they have not paid much to help Qin Zhichu build the new city of Yongding County, but once Qin Zhichu can fulfill his promise in the future, they will make a lot of money.

This is a bit like a small profit on the gambling table, and you don’t feel sorry for losing. Of course, it’s the best to win.

Among these eighteen Taoist priests and Taoist nuns, the leader was the old Taoist priest who shouted to help Qin Zhichu build the world's No. 1 city. He called himself Taoist priest Chongxuan. He was over 200 years old. He was in the middle stage of his heart and came from a family of craftsmen. By chance, he embarked on the road of cultivation and seeking Taoism. Because of his family background, even after he became a cultivator, he also had a far more than ordinary preference for building houses and gardens.

Qin Zhichu was very curious about how Taoist Master Chongxuan and others built the new city wall in Yongding County. Besides, he was the initiator and beneficiary of the whole incident. It was really unreasonable to wait until the scene to take a look. So Qin Zhichu followed Taoist Master Chongxuan and others to the outside of the county town of Yongding County.

Master Chongxuan and Qin Zhichu walked side by side, pointing to the place where the new city wall was about to be built, and it seemed quite energetic. "Mr. Qin, I have discussed it with everyone. Everyone said that you are generous enough, and we can't seem petty. Didn't you mean to build a forty-mile city wall?

We decided to extend you a little further outward, ten miles from the existing city wall of Yongding County. Build a city wall for you. In this way, the new city wall will be more circled, and you will have more space to display in the future. Not to mention anything else, at least it will allow you to protect more secular people."

"Thank you, seniors." Qin Zhichu said hurriedly.

He laughed at Taoist Master Xuan, "It is rare that Lord Qin looks down on us. He is willing to exchange the Nine-Turn Golden Pill for our help to build the city wall. This is our first time dealing with you, and that must make you satisfied."

While the two of them were talking, they had already flew to the place where the city wall was to be built. Taoist Master Chongxuan shook his hand and shot out a ball. A red light shot out straight from the ball. At the same time, from another direction, red light also shot over, connecting it with the ball that Taoist Master Chongxuan shot out.

These lights first form a frame composed of lines, and then use this frame as the basis to continuously fill and attach more lines. In almost half a cup of tea, a three-dimensional city wall structure, city wall, city gate tower, and sentry tower are all available.

"Mr. Qin, please see that this is the new city wall we have modified based on your opinion.

The city wall is three meters high, and there is no problem that two carriages can run side by side on the city wall. There is a city gate on each side, with a city gate tower, an arrow tower and a urn city at the city gate. In addition, there are also military storage facilities, warehouses and other facilities on the city wall, and there are also posters. The post is three meters taller than the city wall, and crossbows, catapults and other offensive weapons can be placed on it.

In addition, the drainage facilities on the city wall are also very complete. We have also built several reservoirs here to collect the rainwater falling on the city wall corridor for use."

Master Chongxuan pointed to the illusory three-dimensional figure and introduced it endlessly. Compared to the original things on paper, what he saw now is much more intuitive.

Qin Zhichu nodded repeatedly. As far as he knew, the city walls in the capital were just like this. In some places, it was not as good as the new city walls designed by Taoist Master Chongxuan and others. If there is any place in the city walls in the capital that can surpass the new city walls in Yongding County, then it is only height.

"Master Qin, please ask you again, do you have any other things to modify? If not, I will order the construction to start. Once the construction starts, the design plan will not be changed. If it is to be changed, it will be impossible if you want to complete the construction period you gave me." Master Chong Xuan asked at the end.

"This is great, let's start construction." Qin Zhichu didn't think of any changes for the time being. Besides, time was tight, and he didn't have the time to meticulously craft the entire plan more carefully. Moreover, Taoist Master Chongxuan and others are experts in geotechnical work. Their design plan has been considered more thoroughly, and basically nothing needs to be changed.

Master Chong Xuan nodded. He bent his fingers and bounced into the air, and a dazzling firework bloomed in the air. "Okay, I have notified the others and asked them to start construction. Lord Qin, please dodge back and don't touch you."

Qin Zhichu flew back a distance. Taoist Master Chongxuan took out several bags from his arms and shook them. He saw a flash of light, and hundreds of objects fell from these bags, smashing heavily on the ground, splashing countless dust.

Qin Zhichu looked carefully and found that these objects were puppets in different shapes, including human shapes, animal shapes, bird shapes, some as high as several feet high, and some as small as dog pigs. There are many puppets, at least two or three thousand.

Taoist Master Chongxuan took a whistle and put it in his mouth. He blew it gently, and a penetrating whistle flew out. The puppets moved in response to the sound, starting to get busy like a large army of city building.

Qin Zhichu looked at all this in a daze. He once had two Yellow Turban Puppets, but later it was destroyed. He never thought that a person could have so many puppets. "Senior, I thought you were building the city walls by yourself."

Taoist Master Chong Xuan smiled, "There are puppets. Who can do it yourself?

Lord Qin, don’t underestimate these puppets. These are puppets we have specially refined ourselves. What rough work are they most suitable for paving roads, bridges, houses, etc. They work fast and have good quality, and they don’t know how tired they are. As long as the crystal can keep up, even if they catch up for a year or two, they will not be tired.

When I didn’t have these puppets before, I was exhausted and exhausted, with low efficiency and slow progress, so I was inevitably scolded by someone. Since I had these puppets, I have never been scolded by anyone again. No matter what I do, I can complete it with quality, quantity and timeliness."

Qin Zhichu nodded repeatedly, and he suddenly remembered that if he could also have a similar army of puppets, it would be of great benefit to him.

As the chief executive of the local government, he was always unavoidable to build a large-scale construction. For example, when he was in Ningqing County, he had to pave roads and bridges, and he always used a lot of manpower and material resources, consumed countless money and grain, and the construction speed was not fast. If he could be replaced by a large army of puppets, it would not only save manpower and material resources, but also increase the speed, show miracles among the people, and induce more people to establish a tablet of immortality for him.

"Senior, can you transfer some puppets to me?" Qin Zhichu said.

He smiled at Taoist Xuan, "It is logical that there is no problem to send Lord Qin two puppets.

However, these puppets of Nuo Dao have been refined according to actual needs through a lot of practice. If one is missing, the speed of building a city wall will be affected. Moreover, these puppets have several shortcomings: one is that they are stupid and not refined enough, the second is that they are all non-combat puppets, and the third is that they have been a bit old. Another thing is that they are not the top puppets. With so many shortcomings, Nuo Dao cannot make any move.

Lord Qin, if you go to Penglai Island next time, it is best to find a master Ji Yuchuan Ji. He is not only a master of alchemy, but also a first-class puppet master on our Penglai Island. The puppet he refines is like a real person, and can be fake and can't be seen without knowing it in advance."

Qin Zhichu shook his head, "I have a little disagreement with Master Ji Youjun, my disciple, because I am afraid Master Ji will not sell me puppets."

"I have also heard about you and Ji Youjun. Let's do this, Lord Qin, I can't send you a puppet, but I can give you a puppet sutra. My puppet technique is based on this puppet sutra. In addition, I have also marked my experience in refining puppet sutras in this sutra on this sutra. I believe it will be of some help to you."

Taoist Master Chongxuan took out a blue book that was more than half an inch thick and handed it to Qin Zhichu. The latter hurriedly took it over, "Thank you for your kind gift for me, senior."

He smiled at Taoist Xuan, "What are you giving me a lot or not? As long as Lord Qin doesn't think I'm stingy."

Qin Zhichu was about to look through the Puppet Sutra in front of Master Chong Xuan, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the screams of crying father and mother crying from afar, crying, shouting, and there was a crazy laugh in the middle.

Qin Zhichu couldn't help but be shocked, "Senior, I'll go and have a look."

Qin Zhichuyi urged the flying boat under his feet to fly over in the direction of the sound. Today, the Taoist priests and monks who were responsible for protecting him hurriedly followed him.

Not long after flying, there were hundreds of people on the official road and on both sides of the official road, supporting the elderly and young, pushing carts and riding horses, and were running towards the county town of Yongding County at a very fast speed. Behind them, more than a dozen cavalrymen were all wearing the clothes of the rebels of the Annan King, riding on horseback, holding sabers, rushing into the crowd, and slaughtering the civilians unscrupulously.

These cavalry were either the vanguard of the Annan King's army or the scout of the vanguard. Qin Zhichuyi narrowed his eyes, took out the thrush bow, and put on the armor-breaking arrow. He swished and swished, just a few arrows.

Whenever the arrow was shot, a rebel's head was shot through by armor-breaking arrows. He didn't have much effort. Before the rebels could react, they loaded it from the horse's back. There was a hole in each of them's eyebrows, and the brain was mixed with blood flowing on the ground. When the horse's hooves were stepped on, it was no longer like that.

When did those fleeing people see such a tragic situation? They were so scared that they screamed. Qin Zhichu flew over, "Dear fellow villagers, don't be afraid. I am Qin Zhichu, the magistrate of Yongding County. I saved you. You are now safe."

Qin Zhichu was wearing the robe of a seventh-rank magistrate, and the common people still recognized it. He was relieved when he heard this. Several of them were lying on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Zhichu who was hovering in the air, "Thank you for your life-saving kindness of the Immortal Master."

Qin Zhichu fell from the flying boat, "Where are you from? Are you the people under my jurisdiction of Yongding County? Who is the one who chased you?"

A man in his forties came over, "Master Immortal Master, we are all people from the neighboring county grotto counties. Our Eastern Guangdong Prefecture has been surrounded by layers. It is said that in a few days, it will be captured by the army of King Annan. Several counties under the Eastern Guangdong Prefecture have fallen and occupied by King Annan.

At first we thought that King Annan might still treat us well, but who knew that King Annan would openly say that the city would resist stubbornly, so as long as the city was captured, the army could burn, kill, and plunder the city for three days.

When we heard that King Annan actually issued such an order, we knew that King Annan was unreliable, so we hurriedly fled the grotto county with our family. But who knew that we encountered these cavalrymen of King Annan on the way, and first killed those who dared to resist among us, and then chased us behind like driving pigs and sheep.

Sometimes they rise up and rush into us, kill a few of us, and sometimes they will drag the women among us away and commit violence. If you hadn't saved us, you wouldn't know when we would have survived this hard life."
