Yanhu Villa immediately became full of enthusiasm. Although there were only three people working on it, the efficiency of three God Refining Realm monks building a house was extraordinary, and the commotion was no less than that of a hundred or so craftsmen.
A large area of the big trees on the surrounding mountains were knocked down in less than an hour. Yong Zhi's two natal flying swords danced into sword flowers. He pruned and peeled the branches very quickly. Jin Wuhuan flew out his natal copper stick and smashed the shaped wood.
Piles driven into the ground…
There is no need to pursue carved beams and painted pillars for the so-called Temple of King Yu. It can be built as the meeting hall of Doctor Qing’s house. The pillars are erected, the beams are raised, and the boards are cut. It only takes three days to complete the construction of the Temple of King Yu.
The most difficult thing is to carve statues of gods. There is no way, he can't do it.
Wu Sheng chose a big tree in the mountain that two people could hug as his embryo. He went to and from Longmen Altar many times, but even if he copied a cat and a tiger, he still couldn't carve out the shape of the statue of King Yu, and he scrapped several tree embryos in succession.
In the end, he simply didn’t care whether it looked like it or not, and just used it. It didn’t matter whether it looked like it or not, as long as people knew it was a statue of King Yu. If there was a sign at the door of the temple with the name of the temple, who could tell?
Doesn't it look like it?
After the statue of the god is carved, it is placed on a small altar, with an offering table underneath and a row of straw mats. The palace of King Yu is now ready.
An incense burner made of plaster was made in the small courtyard, and incense was burned in the courtyard to prevent fire; large wooden tablets were used in the side rooms on both sides instead of stone tablets, and Wu Sheng's life story of King Yu was engraved on it, including the digging of dragon gates, dredging of floods, and three other events.
There are stories such as passing through the house without entering, demarcating the world into Kyushu, gathering all nations in Tushan, and casting Jiuding.
The story exaggerates its magical power, such as opening Yique with grass, causing floods with divine power, forging Jiuding artifacts, etc. In short, it is as mysterious as it is written, and the focus is to elevate it to the altar.
There is no way, in the records of immortals and gods advocated by Jixia Academy, there is no place for Yu. Although there are legends about him, there are no void projections, caves, magic weapons and other evidence. Wu Sheng can only start from scratch.
The basic deeds began to clarify the clues and shape the image.
After the Temple of King Yu was built, the next step was to recruit believers. Wu Sheng asked Jin Wuhuan and Yongzhi to search for savage refugees in the surrounding area first, and then he returned to Yangzhou and went straight to the gate of Zuotu Mansion.
Seeing Wu Sheng coming to the door, Cui Ming said in surprise: "I'm finally back! I heard that you went to Linzi Jixia Academy and regained your identity as an alchemist. It's really gratifying. Can you start making alchemy again now?
?This time we will make a big profit! Wu Chu is about to start a war again, and there is insufficient reserve of elixirs ahead. It is the time to make big profits!"
The news came at just the right time. Wu Sheng and Cui Ming were equally surprised: "How much does it cost to have a good relationship?"
Cui Ming jumped three feet high: "You actually asked me how much I want? How can you ask like that? You should tell me how much you can make! Black ginseng pills, rhubarb pills, bone bone pills, condensation dew, etc.,
I want as much as I want!"
Wu Sheng kept nodding along with Cui Ming's jumping: "I understand, I understand, stop jumping. Speak up and stop jumping!"
Cui Ming was grabbed from the air by Wu Sheng and straightened his clothes: "It's a bit rude, haha, you don't know how much money my family is losing, so I'm just looking forward to this battle starting as soon as possible! How about it? When will the elixir refining begin?"
"
Wu Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "Large-scale alchemy requires a base, whether it is planting medicinal materials or testing the efficacy of elixirs, it all needs a quiet place. By the way, I also want to transfer several previous alchemists, Mo You and Yue
You should also know that I have chosen two of them, and I plan to have exchanges and discussions with them. You can think of a way to find a piece of land for me."
Cui Ming asked: "Isn't Lu Mingze not enough?"
Wu Sheng said: "It's too noisy, and trying the elixir requires a lot of sick barbarians and refugees. Lu Mingze is the public property of Yangzhou Academy, and it's not appropriate to put it there. Do you still remember what I told you about Yanluoshan last time? Searching for witch cultivators
When the snake was old, I went there again and found that it was a good place to open a medicinal garden. You can think of something for me."
Cui Ming frowned and said: "Although the place is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, it belongs to the king. Unless you have achieved military merits, you are not a senior official of Chu State. It is not easy to achieve meritorious service, and it is not easy to reward."
Wu Sheng said: "It's okay to put it under your name. Anyway, I want to use that place. It doesn't matter if it belongs to you or to me. In the future, we will put a lot of effort into Yanluoshan. It will have a look. Just don't let others take it away."
Cui Ming blinked: "Put it under my name?"
Wu Sheng agreed: "It will be put under your name!"
It is much easier to be named under Cui Ming than to be named under Wu Sheng. He can take many methods, first occupy the place, and then take care of the nobles in Yingdu, and then use the upcoming Chu-Wu war
Taking this as an opportunity, he made some meritorious deeds and finally captured this "barren mountain and wild ridge" that no one valued, and the military merits required were actually foreseeable, such as ensuring the supply of elixirs for the Chu army.
In order to fill the square pool, Wu Sheng also worked hard and took out a hundred gold and handed it to Cui Ming: "Help me prepare food. I need food, especially planting food, as well as farm tools, cloth, and various elixir seeds."
Cui Ming was surprised and said: "How many people are you going to get over there?"
Wu Sheng said: "I have also prepared a hundred gold here as a moving fee. For each house that moves there, a gold reward will be given. It is initially estimated that there will be one hundred households."
Cui Ming blinked and said: "I can buy you food, but you want to reward you for relocating? That doesn't make sense! I will give you an edict from Zuotu Mansion in Yangzhou. Within a hundred miles to the left of Yanluo Mountain,
Private occupation of Wangtian is not allowed, with the exception of Yanluoshan. If you arrange for people to run around and deliver orders, all the savage villages within a hundred miles will have to be moved to our land without spending a single ant nose!"
As a powerful person in Yangzhou, the next edict regarding the savages is really not too convenient. Otherwise, the savages have no human rights!
Wu Sheng immediately received three orders and rushed back to Lumingze without stopping. He needed to choose people for Yan Luoshan. It was only when he opened a base that he realized how important it was to have people under his command.
There are three factions under Wu Sheng. One is the people from Mangdang Mountain, such as the seven men under his sect; the second is the old man from Langshan, headed by the master of Wantao Valley, including the Ying brothers, the Six Friends of Matoupo, Qingfeng
Brother Yaqi and others; the third one is Zhong Liying, Huaihua Jian, Chen Bu, Shi Jiu and other monks from Yangzhou Academy. Calculated, they are still very wealthy.
There is no need to think too much. Most of the old people in Langshan listen to the tune but not the propaganda. Fighting is fine, but construction is definitely not possible. Zhong Liying and others are familiar with school affairs, but they are also not economical. Only the Mangdangshan group can do this work. They
I did quite well following Wu Sheng in Mangdang Mountain back then.
Poor Lu Kuang, Uncle Yong, Dong Da, Ding Ran, Suo Laoliu, Zhang Xiaokeng, etc., they had just finished building and renovating Lumingze, but they had to stay away from home and move their families westward.
