On this day, Murong Fu came to the main hall of the underground palace and saw that the main hall was filled with children aged six to seven to thirteen or fourteen, about a thousand or so.
Deng Baichuan and other four ministers stood beside the stone chairs in front of the hall with silver masks on their faces.
These silver masks were specially made by others, and Murong Fu himself also wore a golden mask.
Murong Fu came to his seat, looked down at the children, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, I am your master."
This sentence has used some soul-moving techniques, but it will not affect the child's sanity and independent personality. It will only have a certain deterrent effect.
More than a thousand children and teenagers knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to the master!"
The voices were not so uniform, but everyone could be heard speaking out. Most of them were orphans who had survived the war and had experienced unimaginable hardships.
Suddenly one day a group of people came to feed them, teach them to read and write, and practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Naturally, they were very grateful and treated the masters these people said were their reborn parents.
Now I finally meet this mysterious owner. Although he is about the same age as me, he is still in awe.
Murong Fu said: "Everyone, get up. You will live here from now on. I will provide you with the best food, the best martial arts secrets, and the most professional teachers. If you cannot achieve my goal, then you will
I will live in this dark underground palace forever."
The children stood up. Murong Fu paused for a moment to let them digest, and then said:
"My requirements are not high. If you want to go out, you must at least master one skill! You can be strong in martial arts, know how to do business, and can lead troops in war..."
"In short, as long as you have some special skills, even if you meet my requirements, as for the kind of money and status you can get after you go out, it depends on how much strength you have."
Murong Fu said: "There is a Kung Fu Hall in the underground palace, which contains the top martial arts secret books of various sects in the world. Now each of you can choose a secret book of internal and external skills. In the future, you need strength and merit to exchange for it.
"
"I can tell you that there is no shortage of magical secrets in it. Whether you can get it or not depends on your efforts. I hope you won't disappoint me."
In the past few days, Murong Fu also had the Huan Shi Water Pavilion moved to the Chuan Gong Hall, and built a small Huan Shi Water Pavilion in the Chuan Gong Hall, which contained some of the martial arts collected by Murong Fu this time.
"I will definitely live up to my master's expectations." Among these children, the older ones could understand Murong Fu's meaning, while the younger ones did not understand it very well. They could only do what others did.
Murong Fu scanned the faces of the children one by one. Although he might not be able to remember them all, he still had an impression.
"Huh?" Murong Fu exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that he found two twin girls who looked exactly the same. When he glanced aside, Murong Fu suddenly stood up and walked over involuntarily.
I saw four little girls with almost the same appearance standing side by side. Two of them were older, about ten years old, and the other two were eight or nine years old and turned out to be quadruplets.
Murong Fu looked at the quadruplets carefully for a long time. He didn't know what he thought of. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "You four, please be my sword slaves from now on! I will teach you martial arts personally."
The four little girls said in unison: "Yes, Master." The other children looked envious.
Murong Fu arranged for his men to take the children to live in the unknown area and take good care of them.
The selection of secret books was carried out in batches in turns, and in the future, the four ministers would teach them martial arts. As for the teaching of other skills, they were still being planned. Murong Fu was also very worried about the problem of lack of talents.
When only Murong Fu and Deng Baichuan were left in the main hall, Murong Fu nodded, and Deng Baichuan brought out a teenage boy from a secret room. This kid was very sneaky and had eyes that were moving around. At first glance, he was a smart and sharp person.
The boy stood in front of Murong Fu and called out very cautiously: "Young Master."
Murong Fu asked: "What's your name? How long have you been at Murong's house?"
"Back to the young master, the younger one's name is Wang Biao. He has been growing up in Murong's family since he was a child. He is twelve years old this year."
"What are your specialties?" Murong Fu asked.
"I'm good at gambling and fighting..." When he said this, Wang Biao raised his head and glanced at Murong Fu. Seeing that Murong Fu's face didn't change, he continued: "I also gathered a group of younger brothers to form the Taihu Gang. No one in the Taihu area dares to
Mess with us."
Seeing Murong Fu's face darken, Wang Biao hurriedly added: "I...I also want to strengthen the power of the Murong family."
Murong Fu's face softened, "Is it true?"
Wang Biao's face became anxious, "Really, I can make them all loyal to the Murong family."
Murong Fu smiled and said, "How do you make them listen to you?"
"Just buy them food and tell them how wise and talented the young master is."
"Sir, this child often sneaks out of Yanziwu and hangs out in the city. He has been hanging around in the market for a long time and has learned a glib tone. He has actually recruited several orphans and bullied other children in the village." Deng Baichuan added.
Murong Fu said seriously: "Okay, very good. Wang Biao, let me ask you, now there is a very dangerous thing for you to do. Are you willing to do it?"
"I do."
"This matter is of great importance, and we must ensure our absolute loyalty to the Murong family."
Wang Biao immediately knelt down and swore, "I, Wang Biao, swear that I will be loyal to the Murong family and the young master for the rest of my life, otherwise I will not die a good death."
Murong Fu said: "Okay, remember what you said, I will teach you a magical skill and send you to Shenlong Island, codenamed '001', but you must wait until you settle down on the island before practicing martial arts, otherwise you will not be able to practice martial arts."
Life is at stake, do you understand?"
"The villain understands!"
Murong Fu nodded with satisfaction and said to Deng Baichuan: "Very good, Brother Deng, please take him down, pass on part of the Nine Yin Scriptures to him, and send him to Shenlong Island. From now on, you will be solely responsible for his contact person."
Deng Baichuan took Wang Biao out, and soon a young man in his twenties came in. The man was quite strong, and he looked like a martial arts practitioner.
"My lord, his name is Wang Dai. He is quite talented in commanding troops. As for the issue of loyalty, there is no need to worry at all." Deng Baichuan said.
"Oh? You can still lead troops?" Murong Fu asked.
"Young Master Qi, my subordinates were only very interested in military books when they were practicing and hyphenating Chinese characters, so they read a lot of them. In fact, they have never led an army." Wang Dai replied.
Murong Fu said: "It's good to have this foundation. I have a very dangerous thing for you to do. Are you willing?"
Wang Daijian replied: "As long as it is the son's matter, my subordinates will not hesitate to die."
