Following Zhao Ran's method, Master Five Colors actually recruited two people: one was a black bull demon with a self-reported number of "Qingtian Jushi". It was said that his cultivation was similar to that of Master Five Colors;
There is a big pink rabbit in the middle, and she calls herself the "Toad Palace Fairy".
Zhao Ran couldn't help but complained that the names of these two guys were a bit vulgar.
Zhao Ran knew that demon cultivators are roughly divided into three levels.
Ordinary monsters who have entered the path of spiritual practice by chance. They are ignorant, born based on instinct, and act as they please. Most of the monsters that cause harm to the world are such monsters. The Taoist sects dispatched by various pavilions often have to eliminate
The evil ones among them.
After cultivating to an advanced level, monsters will develop spiritual wisdom, know how to advance and retreat, know roots and consequences, know how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and follow laws and rules. Such monsters are called spirit monsters. Except for a few who are cruel in nature, they basically behave like ordinary people.
Many of them are even kind to others, and some are valued by Taoist sects. These monsters have advanced cultivation levels, and are similar to monks who are at the level of Golden Dan Master or above.
If the spirit demon continues to practice, he can enter the realm of transformation, achieve human form, coincide with the way of heaven and earth, breathe out the yin and yang of the universe, and his magical power is comparable to that of a Taoist monk who has entered the realm of refining the void or even combining the Tao. He is the top existence in the entire cultivation world.
.
As far as the monsters in Junshan Temple are concerned, Lao Donkey is considered to be the lowest level. Although his spiritual intelligence seems to be turned on, it cannot be said yet and is in the process of transforming from the first level to the second level.
Master Five Colors, Baishan Jun, layman Qingtian and Fairy Toad Palace are all within the category of spirit demons, but this range varies greatly, and Zhao Ran can’t tell what level these people are at. But according to Master Five Colors, they
The ranking of strength is roughly as follows: Fairy of Toad Palace is the strongest, Master of Five Colors and White Tiger are similar (Zhao Ran secretly thought this was suspicious), and layman Qingtian is at the bottom.
In fact, Zhao Ran doesn't care at all who is more advanced among these guys. He is more concerned about who is better at work. In his own mind, the ranking order of these guys should be as follows: Qingtian layman, Five Color Master, Leibang
The Lazy Donkey and the Fairy of Toad Palace. Especially the last rabbit, whether it is capable of fighting at work still needs practice to prove.
As for Baishan Jun, there is basically no need to expect her to do heavy work, but without her, Qingtian layman and Toad Palace fairy would not be able to come, so Zhao Ran could not give her an accurate evaluation.
Looking at this group of monsters making a fuss in the backyard of Junshan Temple, Zhao Ran secretly lamented that if there were some other spirit monsters, the backyard of Junshan Temple could be a zoo.
After gathering together, Zhao Ran began to assign tasks. As expected, Baishang Jun did not have to work. Her tasks were to groom her feathers, sleep, eat fish, and according to Zhao Ran's needs, take out the small fruits from her wings - no one was interested.
There is no objection to this.
The task of the Master of Five Colors is to dig out the stone mountain. Its sharp beak and sharp claws are very suitable for this. This is also the heaviest workload in the entire project, and it has to be it.
Fairy Toad Palace is responsible for pounding the excavated stones into gravels the size of fingernails. I heard from Master Wuse that this rabbit always carries a stone mortar with him and likes to use it to pound everything he sees. Zhao Ran has a reason
I suspect that this rabbit is a spiritual demon who likes to read. This kind of behavior is completely pretending to imitate for self-pleasure.
The old donkey is responsible for transporting gravel and requires piles of gravel every hundred feet along the road to facilitate road construction.
Qingtian layman's job was ranked second in terms of workload in the entire project. He was responsible for using a giant tree cut down from Mount Cointreau, which could be rolled along the road or used to drive piles up and down to make the road smooth.
In order to prevent the people from being frightened, and at the same time to further consolidate the legend of Zhao Miaozhu as an immortal master among the people, the working time of these people was arranged at night, and no one had any objections.
Zhao Ran himself is not at ease either. Half of his energy must be spent on controlling and coordinating the progress of the entire project, while the other half must be devoted to cooking various delicious delicacies for a few spirit monsters. As for the organization and management of the people of Junshan, it is all left to him.
Jin Jiu and the others went to worry about it.
The northwest route project in the Junshan area (that is, the project to open the official road from Junshan to Guyang-Jiangyou) officially started on the first day of May. This date was decided by Zhu Zhao Zhiran of the Junshan Temple. The apparent reason was that this day was "favorable for groundbreaking."
Secretly, he was also slightly satisfied with the bad taste of Zhao Ran, a time traveler who couldn't bring himself to the stage.
Thanks to the participation of several spiritual masters, the overall progress of road construction was astonishingly fast. With sufficient supply of stones and the roadbed being compacted and leveled, thousands of migrant workers organized by the Junshan Temple continued to work hard, and the road continued to be built every day.
It stretched forward rapidly for more than a mile, and in just one month it was connected to the official road from Guyang to Jiangyou, far exceeding the expected progress.
Jin Jiu even spared no effort and built connecting roads for five villages nearby, bringing these thousands of people into the northwest route network. The people in these villages also naturally joined in offering incense and praying at Junshan Temple.
In the queue.
On the fifth day of June, Zhao Ran held a road completion ceremony at the interface where Northwest Road merged into Guyang-Jiangyou Official Road. Magistrate Kong, Master Dong, Wei Jin and other powerful figures in the county were all present. The Luo family, Qu
Officials from my family and other townsmen also came to congratulate me, and the popularity was quite good.
Regarding the Wuji Academy, Zhao Ran would definitely not invite Dong Zhikun. Considering the animosity between the two, the possibility of reconciliation was extremely slim, so he only sent invitations to Sandu and a few familiar deacons.
Yuan Duchu, Zhu Duyao, and the high-ranking Liu Zhiguang were all delighted to be invited. Luo Duguan was ill in bed, needless to say, and the invitation was just a courtesy, and there was no expectation that he would support him. Zhang Zhihuan and Zhike Chen Zhizhong were patrolled.
Then he wrote a special letter, saying that something was wrong and he couldn't come.
Zhang Xunzhao and Zhao Ran have a normal relationship. It's normal for him not to come. Chen Zhizhong, a wallflower, doesn't come, but it makes Zhao Ran slightly unhappy. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask Guan Er about the identity of the Taoist priest and want to know more about it.
Why is there still no confirmation after more than a month? Chen Zhizhong was not present and did not mention the matter in his reply. Could there be some change?
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Zhao Ran cheered up and brought his thoughts back to the ceremony.
More than a dozen prominent people in the county each carried a wooden shovel and pretended to shovel the soil piled nearby into the gap specially left between the two roads. Then there was the lively sound of crackling firecrackers.
After the firecrackers went off, Magistrate Kong stood on the earth platform in the middle with a smile on his face and said loudly: "This county announces that the project of merging Junshan Northwest Road and Guyang-Jiangyou Official Road has been officially completed!"
Well, Magistrate Kong felt at this moment that as a parent in a county, this kind of feeling is "required".
