Xue Ping and a few Taoist boys were sweeping the outside of the temple. After a few days of adaptation, Xue Ping was no longer so afraid, and he seemed to have been promoted, from a handyman to...a small boss of the handymen.
His subordinates are young Taoist boys, the youngest of whom is only ten years old. He was only taken up the mountain by Manager Liu some time ago, and he hasn't even learned the breathing technique yet.
These young Taoist boys, because they were weak and posed no threat, were the first to be released and worked as sweepers.
At first, these children were full of fear, but they managed to suppress the fear in their hearts when they discovered that the ferocious monster soldiers, although they would look at them with coveted eyes from time to time, did not harm them.
The Taoist boys at Danyuan Temple were all brought back through several trading firms and gangs run by stewards. In fact, this was also a routine operation for many small and medium-sized sects to recruit disciples.
The power of the Dayu Dynasty is still there, and the tiger skin of the government has not been completely torn off. The imperial examination system composed of children, scholars, candidates, and Jinshi is still the ladder that the people of the dynasty most rely on, and there is nothing comparable to it. The only option is to join the army.
However, although the threshold for joining the army is slightly lower, the casualty rate is a little higher... But the upper limit for joining the army is also higher, higher than that for the imperial examination. After all, even if you are lucky in the imperial examination, you can at most become prime minister if you have great luck, but joining the army But it's different, Jiedushi? State animal husbandry?
hehe.
After going far away, the power of the Dayu Dynasty is still there. As long as they are not those powerful families and famous religious sects across the state and county, they have to restrain themselves a little. There can openly recruit disciples with good qualifications.
Therefore, private academies, caravans or Jianghu gangs were often used to recruit qualified disciples, and then they were screened and sent to the forces behind them. This was obviously poaching the dynasty.
As for the local government, it is natural that they are colluding with interests and turning a blind eye. After all, this matter is difficult to manage. If it is not managed properly, people will be offended, and their lives may even be in danger. It is better to take an example. Money, let your family practice well. In this case, money does not only refer to gold and silver, but also includes spiritual stones, elixirs, and various spiritual materials.
When the cultivation strength becomes stronger, the backbone will become stronger, and then you can collect more money, and then use some of it to bribe the top, find opportunities to be transferred to a more fertile area as an official, and then collect more money. With more money, in such a virtuous cycle, even if you don't live forever, you can live happily for hundreds or even hundreds of years.
After all, the wool of the imperial dynasty will become white if it is not sheared.
Although two stewards died, the remaining three seemed to be people who knew current affairs. Tian Huan felt that it would not be difficult to subdue them, especially after Tian Huan received many inheritances from Dan Yuan Lao Dao.
"This is the heart-locking bell." In the main hall, Tian Huan held a two-inch-high golden bell in his hand, and then took out a slender small gold medal from a box. Someone's name and name were engraved on the gold medal. The horoscope of birth date contains a drop of blood essence sealed inside.
Tian Huan then hung the gold medal under the golden bell and shook it up and down. A steward in the solitary room suddenly widened his eyes, then collapsed to the ground and screamed in pain.
"Try another one." Tian Huan chuckled and took out another gold medal from the box, but when he looked carefully, he found a crack in the name engraved on the gold medal.
"Oh, this one is dead, let's change it to another one."
"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?!" Qingxuan and Qinglu looked at the steward brother who suddenly fell to the ground in pain for some reason, and asked in shock.
"No...I'm fine..." The steward suddenly collapsed and relaxed on the ground, sweating but a little confused, but he soon understood what was going on.
Qingxuan and Qinglu were a little confused at first, but when Qinglu suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, they understood.
"The gold medal of destiny..." Qingxuan smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, now the monster should feel free to enslave me and wait."
After trying the gold medals one by one, Tian Huan put away the gold medals of the five people who were still alive. The three dead gold medals were crushed into a ball of gold and melted into it when he went back to build the statue. Don't waste it.
"So, all the five disciples of the Dan Yuan Tao can use it?" Hu Changsheng took out a small black flag from the pile of things Tian Huan took out.
"It can be used, but this heart-locking bell is not omnipotent." Tian Huan nodded at first, but then shook his head. He could not be superstitious about such crude control methods.
"This fog formation flag is the command flag of the black mist formation arranged around the Taoist temple, but this black mist formation is also not foolproof." Didn't Tian Huan take advantage of the loophole to sneak in: "We need to strengthen management in the future. , Don’t make the mistake of being lax like Old Master Dan Yuan.”
Hu Changsheng heard this and said yes. After all, he had just listened to Tian Huan's story about the battle. The loopholes he had exploited had to be plugged no matter what.
"In addition, there is the alchemy method that the old Taoist cherishes the most. In addition to the method of refining people into elixirs, there are other kinds of prescriptions. There are a total of twenty-three kinds of ordinary-grade elixir powders, and five kinds of low-grade Qing-level elixirs. Tsk, tsk, This veteran also has some insights into the middle-level Qing-level elixir, but it has not yet been established and cannot be refined." Tian Huan then handed the prescription to Hu Changsheng, his eyes full of anticipation.
Hu Changsheng took the elixir recipe and read it once, then handed most of the elixir recipe back to Tian Huan with sweat on his forehead, and said with a guilty conscience: "My subordinates are not talented, so...just these three elixir recipes." , I can barely give it a try.”
Tian Huan rolled his eyes. The three prescriptions Hu Changsheng picked out were the simplest three. They were the most basic prescriptions for replenishing qi and blood, assisting in body training, and treating wind and cold.
"Okay, let's look back and see who among those prisoners can make elixirs." Tian Huan put away all the prescriptions. In the old Taoist's courtyard, there are still many collected books on pharmacology and medicinal herbs, which are more important than those on cultivation. There are more books.
"Also, these are all human elixirs made by experienced practitioners. Apart from being addictive, there are no other disadvantages."
Tian Huan took out a book and several bottles of elixirs: "This is the diary left by the old Taoist. The old Taoist's mind was a little shaky due to his drug addiction, and the essays were written in confusion."
"Do you want to try it?"
"Uh, no, my subordinates still have to serve the commander-in-chief, so there is no need for this bad-minded elixir." Hu Changsheng waved his hand and declined.
"Forget it, I don't plan to take it. It would be a pity to throw it away. I can't sell it later, or give it away as a gift." Tian Huan did not intend to take this kind of elixir, which would cause serious consequences. In the beginning, he was vigorous and diligent, but after decades of continuous drug use, he kept moving forward at a snail's pace.
Tian Huan then took out the loot he got from Dan Yuan Dao one by one and asked Hu Changsheng to help him identify and classify what could be used and what could not be used, what could be used now and what could be used in the future, and what was useless. .
Then he took out a record written by Ah Bao. On it was written crookedly the harvest in the treasury, the layout of the Taoist temple's houses and the surrounding environment, etc. It can be regarded as the hard work of Ah Bao scratching his scalp in the past few days.
Unfortunately, Hu Changsheng just glanced at it and threw the record aside. Then he said to Tian Huan, "Forget it, I'd better check it myself. I'll report back tomorrow."
