Chapter 271 Employing People
It was hot and humid in the south, and Wu Zhongyuan woke up not long after sleeping. He felt sleepy, so he did not get up in a hurry, but closed his eyes and breathed in. At this time, he was Crimson and promoted to Xuan cultivation level, and the next level up was Dongxuan light blue. , as long as you practice the light blue aura, you can cast the Bear Wizard's Thunder Fury. The previous Heaven and Earth Resurrection, Five Elements Shield, including Seven Apertures Psychic Power, are not offensive spells, but Thunder Fury is.
He still yearns for controlling thunder and lightning, but controlling thunder and lightning is only one of the two major benefits of being promoted to Dongxuan. The other is that he can use the Seven Apertures again to sense and surrender mounts. The Nine Yang Wizard can use the Seven Apertures up to seven times. Psychic, with seven mounts, but the use of the Seven Orifices Psychic again is based on the improvement of spiritual energy. Starting from the promotion of Xuan Crimson, it can be used once for each advancement. If the light blue spiritual energy has not been used, it will be blue. The color aura can be used twice.
The strange objects that the old blind man mentioned before are distributed in all directions. Maybe he can encounter rare animals worth taking action on the way, but even if he encounters them, he can't take action this time because he has just been promoted to Shengxuan and has left Danlan. There is still a long way to go in terms of aura.
There is a difference between breathing in and out and breathing normally. When his anger returned to his Dantian, the old blind man's voice came from the side, "Where are you going to go first?"
"How is the Fox Clan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked the old blind man for his opinion. Although the old blind man did not reveal his identity to him, he did not deliberately hide his identity. Just as he was angry at Dantian, the old blind man spoke. This shows that the old blind man can rely on The change in his breathing indicated that he had finished practicing Qi, and the old blind man himself knew very well that opening his mouth at this time would reveal the fact that he was familiar with the Bear Clan's Qi training methods.
The old blind man nodded, "Okay, first go to the Fox Clan to get food seeds, and then go to the Rat Clan to get people on the way back."
"How much do you know about the Fox Clan, sir?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. His understanding of the Fox Clan stopped at the few words Wu Dalie said before.
The old blind man smiled and shook his head, "Not much, but not much. The current leader of the Fox Clan is a male fox, known as the Jade-faced Thirteenth Lang. He is free and easy-going, not very serious, he prides himself on being a romantic, and he flirts with women everywhere."
"What kind of cultivation?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. He was not interested in Thirteenth Lang's style. What he cared about was the other party's cultivation.
"Purple Qi Cave Abyss." The old blind man said.
When Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, the old blind man continued, "This person spends most of his time wandering outside and doesn't often stay in his own clan."
"Have you ever been to the Fox Clan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"I have been there a few years ago," the old blind man nodded. "The Fox Clan has hundreds of acres of fertile land in the east mountain. It is designated as a forbidden land by the Fox Clan. People are always guarded by the Fox Clan. During the harvest season, they are heavily guarded with bows and arrows. , even birds are not allowed to fly over it, it should be a place for planting hundred-day rice,
However, it is not the season for rice to mature right now. The grain should be stored somewhere in the city, but I haven't been there for several years, and I don't know if the layout of the city has changed. Once I get there, I will observe it before making any calculations. "
"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan nodded and then asked, "Have you been to the Rat Clan?"
The old blind man nodded, "I have personally been to all the places I mentioned before. Otherwise, how could I know such details? It's just that too much time has passed. It's been decades, and I don't know if there has been any change."
"It doesn't matter if it's just a trip in vain. You can gain some insights by walking in all directions. It's better than standing still in the middle of nowhere and looking at the sky from a well." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"It's very appropriate to sit in a well and look at the sky." The old blind man nodded slowly.
Wu Zhongyuan felt greatly embarrassed after being praised by the old blind man. The last thing he liked to do was to talk about some modern idioms, because he was not the original author. Using them to talk about them was equivalent to plagiarism.
After hesitating, the old blind man asked tentatively, "Are you really prepared to adopt the second nobleman's suggestion?"
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan asked in a questioning tone.
"This move has both advantages and disadvantages," the old blind man said in a low voice. "Leaving something as compensation can certainly bring peace of mind, but it also has great disadvantages. You must know that 90% of the elixirs in the world are from the hands of the Niu tribe. Leaving behind the elixirs It’s equivalent to telling the Fox Clan that the Niu Clan stole the grain, and I’m afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to the Niu Clan in the future.”
Wu Zhongyuan had really forgotten about this problem. Thinking about it carefully, what the old blind man said did make sense, but at this time, gold was not valuable, and there was no recognized currency. Apart from pills, there seemed to be nothing valuable that could be compensated to the Fox Clan. .
"In your opinion, should I stay or not?" Wu Zhongyuan asked the old blind man for his opinion.
The old blind man thought for a while and said, "It's all fine. If you keep the elixir, you need to get more grain and share it with the Niu clan. In this way, they won't be unjustly blamed for taking the blame. If you don't keep it, there will be less. Take it so that it won’t be spread out in the future and people will criticize you for being greedy.”
"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan smiled and nodded.
Maybe it was because he was too tired from being forced to work by the cattle tribe, and his second child had been sleeping hard. This guy looked very ugly when sleeping. Not only did he snore, but he also drooled with his mouth twisted and his tongue sticking out. He also had the eyes of a deer head and rat, and there were only a few on his head. Genmao'er has a dwarf figure, which seems more and more inconsistent.
"Is this dwarf available?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"There are people in the world who can't be used, it just depends on how you want to use them," the old blind man said. "The inferiors control them with force, the middle-class people lure them with interests, and the superiors make them with friendship."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. Since the old blind man could not see his nodding movements, he had to add a nasal sound every time he nodded.
"There is always an opportunity for good people to become bad, and there is always an opportunity for bad people to become good," the old blind man added. "Earlier, it could escape but not escape. This is an opportunity."
"It makes sense." Wu Zhongyuan nodded again.
Speaking of good guys and bad guys, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to ask the old blind man half-jokingly, "Sir, are you a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Hahahaha," the old blind man laughed, not unrestrainedly, but not too small either. "I am a good person who has done bad things, and I am also a bad person who has done good things."
"Do you think I am a bad person for stealing everywhere?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
"Forget it about the person who was stolen from." The old blind man also smiled.
"Hahaha." Wu Zhongyuan laughed heartily. He found that he and the old blind man had one thing in common, that is, neither of them were moral ladies. As long as their good intentions and moral character are good, there is no need to abide by all other rules. Otherwise, you will be exhausted.
At sunset, Jiang Nan came back. The round trip only took less than four hours, almost non-stop.
After returning, Jiang Nan took off four small cloth bags from his waist and handed them to Wu Zhongyuan, "These are the only things the palace has in reserve."
Wu Zhongyuan took the bag and took a look. He didn't need to open the bag to look. He could tell the approximate number just by looking at the outline of the bag. There should be nearly a hundred pills for supplementation, and the remaining pills for improvement were about a dozen and twenty. A few, about fifty.
"Your father doesn't know, does he?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a frown.
"You should know by now." Jiang Nan said casually, implying that Jiang Zheng didn't know when he took it.
"Isn't it good?" Wu Zhongyuan said with a grin.
"Do you want it or not?" Jiang Nan frowned.
Wu Zhongyuan said nothing more. Although Jiang Nan was a woman, she had a tough temper and acted neatly.
Until then, the second child was still sleeping. Wu Zhongyuan walked over and kicked it, "Get up."
The second child woke up with a start, hurriedly turned over and climbed up, raised his sleeves to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Brother."
"What kind of cultivation level do you have?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
The second child didn't know why and looked at Wu Zhongyuan doubtfully.
"I asked you what your cultivation level is?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"Where's Shengxuan?" The second child finally came to his senses.
"Where are the pills given to you by the person who hired you to steal the sword before?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"I was at the eldest brother's place. I didn't have time to eat, so they took it away." The second eldest brother looked at Jiang Nan timidly from the corner of his eye.
"You unlucky guy." Wu Zhongyuan opened the bag and took out one each of light blue, blue, and dark blue pills, "Here you go."
The second child didn't expect that Wu Zhongyuan would give him pills, and three pills at a time. He was so shocked that he didn't dare to take them, "I haven't done any work yet."
Without saying much, Wu Zhongyuan stuffed the three pills into its hand, and then tied the bags to his waistband one by one.
When he raised his head, he found that the second child was looking at Jiang Nan in fear, and said, "You can eat it if I give it to you. Why are you looking at her?"
"Can you eat them all?" the second child asked cautiously.
"It won't kill you if you eat it, but it's best not to eat it together." Wu Zhongyuan said.
After hearing what Wu Zhongyuan said, the second child picked up one and opened his mouth to eat it. He didn't worry about putting the remaining two pills anywhere, so he moved them around and finally stuffed them into the lining of his red coat.
Dasha only eats one meal a day, and it is his time to eat in the evening. After he finished his "meal", it was already dark, so Wu Zhongyuan called him out and took the four of them to the fox clan.
He had been to the Fox Clan before and knew the location of the Fox Clan. He was worried about getting lost, so he did not fly in a straight line. Instead, he followed the route of changing grain seeds that day, first to the south and then to the east.
At the second watch of the third watch, everyone arrived at the city where the Fox Clan was. The city of the Fox Clan was not big, and was similar in scale to the cities in the Middle Kingdom. The city was located in Shanyang, with a mountain behind it, a river in front, and a river on the east and west sides. forest.
The Fox Clan is a semi-open city, and there are also easy-to-change activities, but they are only during the day. At night, the city is closed and outsiders have to leave.
At this time, the city gate has been closed, and there are lights in the city, but not many. After all, they are of a different kind and can see at night.
As long as there are two people, a leader will appear. As long as there are more than three people, there will be factions. The Fox Clan is also a group, and their number is not small. Naturally, there is a royal family, and if there is a royal family, there must be a palace. The palace of the Fox Clan is built in the middle of the city. There is a large mound there, and the city is built on the mound.
In addition to the palace, there are two larger buildings in the city, one is the altar to the south of the palace, and the other is the treasury to the north of the palace. These three places may be storage places for grain.
Wu Zhongyuan briefly explained the layout of the buildings in the city to the old blind man. In fact, the layout of the Fox clan's city had not changed much in the past ten years.
After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man pointed out the most suspicious location, the altar.
But Wu Zhongyuan prefers the palace, while Jiang Nan thinks that the warehouse is more likely...
