Chapter one hundred and fifty-ninth apprenticeship
The wind and snow have just melted, and the roads outside the city are muddy, but even so, many chambers of commerce still organize caravans to transport large quantities of materials. The collapse of Jiyun City on New Year's Day, and the flooding of several large warehouses and docks, made
Many chambers of commerce felt there was an opportunity and stepped up their efforts to dispatch supplies.
The emerging new world of Jiyun City has now launched a new type of commercial vehicle puppet, which once again stimulated the arrival of a large amount of materials. Because this new factory is endorsed by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, one of the conditions for cooperation is that all parties
growing daily necessities...
The caravan is moving very slowly because the road is really bad. The closer it gets to the city, the harder it is to walk. There are potholes everywhere on the road. But the worse the weather, the more money can be made.
If you have the money, otherwise the business will not be so easy once the weather is nice, the water in the river thaws, and the boats that go in and out of the river, as well as the large flying birds come out.
At present, there are only a few vultures that can still fly in this extreme climate, but these vultures are now engaged in the passenger transport business. These businessmen are also suffering and happy.
This kind of bad weather is also a good day for the villagers. It is common to work for the caravans to earn some food, or take the opportunity to steal some supplies. It is even common to encounter a small caravan and completely loot it.
.
As a lower-class commoner and a villager at the lowest level these days, life has been like this.
But today, those people who were busy making a living on the road stopped what they were doing and saw the scene they saw for the first time in their lives. Eight puppet cars drove out of Jiyun City at lightning speed.
Racing wildly in the wilderness, chasing and playing. Like eight wild horses running wildly in the wilderness, running as fast as meteors and as fast as lightning across the vast land. The shock brought by this technological civilization has shocked those who still use packhorses.
Business travel brings a visual impact.
"Lao Zhang, is this the car puppet made by your Master Ding from Jiyun City?" A businessman who came from a nearby city asked his companion.
The man called Lao Zhang was very proud and said: "Yes, this is the car puppet made by Brother Xiao Yi. How about it? I'm not lying to you. Look at the speed and the shape. Isn't it handsome?"
"I'm afraid you can buy such a car puppet for only ten gold yuan." A poor man next to him couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What's ten gold yuan? The lowest price of the car puppet produced by Xintiandi on the market is fifty gold yuan. A car puppet like this specially customized for young masters and ladies of cultivators cannot be negotiated without five hundred gold yuan. I
This is still talking about the ex-factory price of Xintiandi. You must know that my former neighbor worked in a department of Xintiandi, and he told me all this."
The poor man had little experience in his life. His daily income was only dozens of copper coins. Gold dollars were almost insulated from him. In his opinion, a gold dollar was a huge amount of money. He never expected that the puppet car in front of him would be so expensive. This
He and his companions around him couldn't help but marvel.
"Don't think that this puppet car is expensive. It is a cultivation item. Right now, Xintiandi's entire order has been scheduled for next year. Several major aristocratic families and various chambers of commerce are vying to cooperate with Xintiandi and compete for this puppet car.
You haven't seen this hot scene. Every day, there are many businessmen blocking the entrance of Xintiandi waiting to place orders. There are hundreds of people queuing up every day..." Lao Zhang was vomiting and felt so unhappy.
The emergence of such a famous figure in Yuncheng allowed Lao Zhang to steal the limelight in front of everyone, and at the same time, he was proud of it.
A companion asked: "Old Zhang, you said before that Master Ding fought against all opinions and could not bear to drive a hundred thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people out of the city, and took in so many people. Is this true?"
"Why isn't it true? This is absolutely true. It was precisely because of the need to solve the problem of feeding these 100,000 mouths that Brother Yi used his brain to make this puppet car. For this Brother Yi still owes
I owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. What else could I do?
How can we say that Brother Xiao Yi is benevolent and righteous?" Lao Zhang argued.
"Then Master Ding is really a bit stupid. Why would he want to take on all this trouble? Rich people like them really don't understand." A poor man interjected.
Lao Zhang was so angry that he grabbed the poor man and beat him on the face. Everyone was surprised. Lao Zhang was always a smiley and very good-tempered man, but this honest man suddenly got angry.
Come, but they are different from the ordinary gangsters in the market. They are as crazy as a tyrannosaurus, and everyone quickly pulls them away.
Lao Zhang pointed at the poor man and said: "This is outside the city. Not many people know what you are saying. If you dare to say that in the city, hundreds of thousands of people will beat you to the bone."
No more! You can criticize me, scold me, or hit me, and I won’t argue with you. But if you dare to say no to Brother Xiao Yi, I can’t beat you, but I will bite off a piece of your flesh. Do you believe it or not?”
Only then did the poor man realize that he had violated a taboo here and received a few punches in vain. Thinking that he had said such words inappropriately, he covered his face and retreated away.
A fellow businessman said: "Old Zhang, this Mei Liu is just asking for a beating. You are helping him. Otherwise, if you say this in the city, are you going to be beaten to death? Maybe you will be beaten to death."
It will implicate us. Not to mention, hearing what you said about Master Ding really makes people admire you, but it’s a pity that Master Ding was only born in your Jiyun City, and we don’t have such a person in Gulou City.”
"Not to mention Gulou City, but the entire seven southeastern provinces, and even the entire empire, I dare say that Brother Xiao Yi is like this." Lao Zhang gave a thumbs up and said proudly.
"Brother Xiao Yi is gifted and intelligent like no other, but there are many people with extremely high qualifications in this world. But when it comes to this magnanimity, this kind of benevolence and justice, how many people in the world can compare with him?"
Everyone sighed, living a hundred thousand people, this is really not something ordinary people can do.
At the mountain pavilion of the Mu family villa in Xishan, Zong Xiao took Ding Yi and Mu Haoran up to the top to look into the distance. Naturally, they also saw the galloping iron horse.
Mu Yanran and others are all cultivators. Zong Xiao and the others are not worried about their safety at all. Seeing how energetic and passionate these young people are, they can't help but smile.
Zongxiao pointed to the traffic in the distance and said to Ding Yi: "I didn't expect that you still got rid of the things I objected to at the beginning. Facts have proved that you are still right. We must stick to what is right. This is good. Don't judge other people's opinions.
The will is transferred, Xiao Yi, you are very good."
Ding Yi quickly apologized to Zong Xiao.
"There is no need to apologize. On the contrary, I want to thank you. Without the mining puppet you made, there would be no situation today. This cart puppet may be of great use in the future. Live and learn, correct
I am very happy that you insist on doing the things. Xiao B, don’t be careful about your future. You are still young and have a lot of things to learn and accumulate. When you finish learning, I will naturally make arrangements for you.
In the future, the stage for you and Haoran will not be here." Zongxiao said with a smile.
Mu Haoran and Ding Yi quickly bowed to express their thanks. Zong Xiao took this opportunity to put the two of them into the door wall. This was undoubtedly a big step forward in their lives for the two of them.
It's just that Ding Yi is very uneasy. On the surface, it seems that the Truth Society has been expelled from Jiyun City, but secretly the people of the Truth Society are still lurking, but the scope of their activities is limited. He and these people of the Truth Society are not the same.
I don't know, but if Zongxiao knew about it, I would be frightened just thinking about it. The people and organizations that the truth would make Ding Yi see are also extraordinary, and it would be really difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
On the surface, the people of the Truth Society have evacuated, but Wang Jiansheng is still in Jiyun City. However, cultivators like Guan Qi will still appear in front of him unexpectedly, and he still cannot get rid of these dark forces.
However, Ding Yi himself was disgusted with this system of the empire. He also used villagers and even civilians as blood food to refine cultivation medicines such as creation pills, which made Ding
Ding Yi couldn't accept it even more. Although he was also blessed by this fortune pill, Ding Yi still felt a little conflicted in his heart about integrating himself into this system.
It's just that he doesn't have any plans for the future yet. All his previous dreams were just to become a cultivator. As for how to develop after becoming a cultivator, he has never considered it.
Zong Xiao's speech can be regarded as recruiting Mu Haoran and Ding Yi into his sect. This will undoubtedly be of great help to Ding Yi's future. In the world of cultivation, apart from sects, this is the master-disciple relationship. Master-disciple relationship
There are many types of masters and disciples. Although this kind of master-disciple relationship is not a path of inheritance, but it carries values and concepts, it is often closer. Zongxiao, as a Xuan-level high-level grand master, is also a powerful figure in the empire. This regard is even more important.
rare.
Both Mu Haoran and Ding Yi personally poured a cup of tea for Zong Xiao and kowtowed to Zong Xiao three times, which was considered to have completed the ceremony. The reason why there were no banquet guests to witness this event was that Zong Xiao did not care about the formality, and secondly
Zong Xiao didn't want anyone to know about this. After all, Ding Yi was not able to protect himself yet. If the other party knew that Ding Yi was Zong Xiao's disciple and targeted him specifically, it would harm him.
The education system is a system that operates independently. Although Zong Xiao knows a few people, they have no friendship with each other. Although he is also very concerned about Ding Yi's specific qualifications, he can't help much. Anyway, it has been determined through the qi reading technique.
Ding Yi has now shed the secular world, and it will only take about forty days to know the result. Zong Xiao is not very concerned about this.
Zong Xiao doesn't value Ding Yi's qualifications. As long as he can enter the system of cultivation, other things are not important. Ding Yi's creativity and unconstrained ideas are the reasons why Zong Xiao chooses him. These days, cultivation techniques and methods are increasing day by day.
, Zong Xiao has seen many cultivators with outstanding talents and high levels of cultivation, but most of these people have only one skill, but no ability to control, and their overall view is even worse. This is not the same person hundreds of years ago.
Who has the final say in the era, who has the deepest cultivation and who has the big fist.
Mu Haoran's meticulousness and execution ability coupled with Ding Yi's reflexes and creativity, both of them have a good overall view, which is the main reason why Zong Xiao likes them.
Strictly speaking, Zong Xiao should respect Ding Yi more. Although Ding Yi disobeyed his will twice, if it had been anyone else, Zong Xiao would have blocked him, but he was still very patient with Ding Yi.
Opportunity. No matter what, Ding Yi finally met his requirements, which made Zong Xiao feel that this was a perfect ending.
Zong Xiao and Mu Haoran still had many things to do, so Ding Yi was not left behind. Ding Yi kowtowed respectfully to Zong Xiao and was sent down the mountain by Mu Haoran himself.
"Junior brother, from now on we will be a family. You should practice well when you go back this time. On March 15th, Grandmaster and I will go to the scene to cheer you up. Yanran will leave tomorrow. You should come here early tomorrow. Normally
If you need anything, you can come to Mu Yuan. My parents also like you very much. Aunt Bing is no outsider. We senior fellow apprentices are no better than outsiders. You can be more casual." Mu Haoran said to Ding Yi at the foot of the mountain.
Ding Yi quickly thanked him.
Mu Haoran added: "I returned to Jiyun City today. I walked around the city with Grandmaster first. What I saw and heard with my own eyes and ears was about Junior Brother you and Che Puppet. Junior Brother's control over people's hearts, I
This senior brother is ashamed of himself. No wonder the grandmaster favors you so much. In fact, I didn’t realize until today that this big game of chess played by my junior brother. I didn’t say anything about it. From now on, we senior brothers will get along well with each other and create a world that belongs to us.
"Mu Haoran said with high spirits.
Ding Yi was confused. What does it mean to control people's hearts? Do you want to watch nearly 100,000 people being driven out of the city and freezing to death? It seems that everyone still has different understandings of many things.
