There were many rooms in her house, so she could sleep wherever she wanted. However, as Ye Chu expected, Hongliu went directly into the master bedroom where she usually lived. She wanted to sleep in her own room.
Maybe before Ye Chu thought about it, Hongliu's voice came to his ears.
"Your boy will come over to keep watch tonight!"
Ye Chu smiled helplessly. At this time, a fox girl came over, carrying wine and food, and asked Ye Chu curiously: "Master, is that the new wife?"
"New lady?"
Ye Chu was stunned and didn't react at first, but he immediately smiled: "Okay, just think of her as the new wife..."
"Haha, sir, you are really serious. The new lady doesn't know it herself..."
The fox girl giggled, and Ye Chu said to her: "She may get up earlier than me tomorrow morning, so you can make some breakfast for her. Her appetite is not big. Make some hot porridge, and remember
I need to make a few pots of black tea, and..."
Even Ye Chu himself might not know that Hongliu was still asleep in the room at this time. Hearing the conversation between Ye Chu and the fox girl outside, the corner of his mouth curved.
"This kid still has some conscience."
Hongliu smiled, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
The next day, early in the morning, Hong Liu finished the breakfast cooked by the fox girl and left in a hurry.
When Ye Chu came out of the room, the fox girl told Ye Chu that the new wife had left, and asked them to tell them that she would be away for a while.
"She left again?"
Ye Chu was really surprised. He didn't know what Hongliu was up to. He said he had something to do before he left the city of Nanfeng Holy City.
Now she was leaving again, and based on my own calculations, it seemed that she might not come back in a short time.
"Doesn't this woman care about her poison anymore?"
Ye Chu wasn't sure why this woman left, but there must be something going on.
After eating breakfast, Ye Chu called out the white wolf horse and asked him about some of the current situations in the world of Qiankun.
He also handed over the mustard seeds that Hongliu gave him, as well as the mustard seeds that Po'er's sister-in-law gave him before, to Bai Langma, and asked Bai Langma to count the materials inside to see if there is still enough to refine the sixth-level Yuan Yuan Dan.
Which materials.
After Bai Langma finished eating, he looked at the ingredients in the mustard seeds and was amazed. There were really a lot of ingredients in them.
Moreover, they are two fifth-level mustard seeds, but even so, they are almost full of materials. There are countless various materials.
However, compared to the one given by Sister-in-law Po'er, the one given by Hongliu is obviously much messier. The one given by Sister-in-law Po'er has been sorted out, divided into categories, and stacked very neatly.
The one given by Hongliu was a mess, with everything piled up inside. Some of the sacred objects may have been buried under the mountain of treasures, and it would take a long time and labor to count them out.
"Brother, we can't do this. If we need to count mustard seeds like this, even if tens of thousands of people come to count them, it will take several years. It's really too time-consuming..."
Bailangma became a little depressed when he saw the situation inside the mustard seed of Hongliu. Ye Chu also frowned: "It takes so long?"
"Isn't that right? This fifth-level mustard seed actually has a huge area of 100,000 miles in radius. Such a large area is filled with all kinds of treasures. God knows how many of them there are. It's okay.
, this one is not piled too high, it is just a few meters high, but even if it is a few meters high, it is still a big deal."
Bai Langma cried bitterly: "Like the fifth-level mustard seed you recovered before, brother, the highest point at that time was several hundred meters high. It has not been cleaned up for several years now."
"That one hasn't been cleaned yet?"
Ye Chu was also a little speechless. That one should have been obtained by Hongliu, who looted most of the trading market in the Holy City.
That's why the quantity is so amazing, because Hongliu threw it in at will. Maybe he found a fifth-level mustard seed and poured all the treasures in other small-level mustard seeds directly into the fifth-level mustard seed. So
There is no classification at all.
Such mustard seeds are really difficult to count. If they were to be counted uniformly, some treasures would all be mixed together, making it really difficult to figure them out.
Because it is mainly used for refining medicines and weapons, materials cannot be mixed, so it has been several years now and not all the treasures in it have been cleared out.
Moreover, Bailangma said, I am afraid that Chengdu has not been able to clean it up now.
"I didn't expect it would be so troublesome..."
Ye Chu also had a headache. These seemed to be minor things, but now they have become a very troublesome matter.
"Is there any other way?" Ye Chu thought, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things like this in the future, and this is just a fifth-level mustard.
It's just a shallow layer of material. If in the future, we encounter mustard seeds of seven or eight levels and above, there will be tens of thousands of meters of treasures inside.
Wouldn’t it take a hundred or two million years to count them, but they still won’t be able to clear them all?
"There is no other way at the moment..."
Bai Langma said helplessly: "These natural and earthly treasures must be identified and sorted by someone. If someone cannot distinguish them, they must be specially placed and sorted out separately."
"And we don't have many people now, and we are busy with other things. Where can we find so many people to sort out these treasures..."
Bai Langma also had some difficulties: "Actually, many people have never seen most of the treasures. Unlike us who may be more knowledgeable, many of our descendants have never seen most of the treasures. It can be said that, in fact, these
Most of the treasures must be classified as unknown and require additional identification."
"Even if we arrange for people to go in and sort it out, we can only pick out the basic materials first, some basic materials for us to refine medicine and weapons. We will have to select the rest for a long time."
Bai Langma said: "Actually, brother, we still have a lot of mustard seeds, and there are a lot of treasures in them. We haven't finished counting them yet. There are too many mustard seeds, and we can't even take care of some of them."
"I didn't expect that there are too many treasures, which is also a worry, but these treasures can't be wasted like this..."
Ye Chu sighed: "We still have to find a way to collect all our treasures and materials. At least we must put these treasures in one place first, classify them well, and then go directly to get them when needed."
"But where do we have so many people now..."
Bai Langma sighed: "Our biggest problem now is people..."
"During this period, the wives that Big Brother found for them last time are now showing some results. Thousands of them have become pregnant..."
"But it will take a long time to cultivate them slowly, ranging from a hundred years to several decades..."
Bai Langma also had his own concerns, but he also came up with a good idea: "Brother, it would be a good idea if we could get some loyal people to come over and do these things for us..."
"Where can I find loyal people?"
Ye Chu is not very optimistic about this: "Moreover, these people are specially sorting out treasures for us, and ordinary people cannot leave them to handle such things..."
"Humans can't do it. What if they are some animal spirits?"
Bai Langma frowned and said, "Maybe we can train some puppets?"
"Making puppets?"
Ye Chu really hadn't thought about this. Ye Chu asked him: "Can you make puppets?"
"Of course I won't..."
Bai Langma smiled and said: "But your old friend, Li Laosan, seems to know how to make puppets like this. Otherwise, you can call him out and listen to his ideas."
"Has he come out of confinement?"
Ye Chu was a little surprised. There had been no news about Li Laosan for several years. He had been in seclusion inside the sacred tree.
He called Li Laosan out. Li Laosan really came out of isolation and has recovered a lot now. After more than ten years of recuperation, he has now regained some physical strength.
I heard that Ye Chu wanted to make a puppet to help him do some chores in the world of Qiankun.
Li Laosan nodded and said: "Of course you can make puppets. There is no problem at all. But from what you just said, it seems that these puppets need to have their own consciousness, or they need to know some of the most basic treasures of heaven, materials and earth.
Knowledge, this requires making more advanced puppets."
"We have to make living puppets..." Li Laosan drank wine and ate meat.
"Living puppet?"
Bailangma and Ye Chu were also curious and asked: "Is there any difference?"
"The difference is huge..."
Li Laosan wiped his mouth, and Ye Chu changed another bottle of wine for him. This was his fellow countryman on earth. He was a child, and he was closer than his relatives.
Li Laosan smiled and continued: "The puppets we generally think of are actually dead. For example, using corpses, special materials, etc., it is not too high to be able to make such puppets.
Difficulty. But this kind of puppet has no IQ and can only do some basic coolies. Using some magic circles and the like, you can control them and let them do some tasks specified by you, and they will not be tired."
"It's like a fixed program. It's not difficult. It's useless for us to have such puppets. Of course, we can also refine some and let them move things."
"Oh, then we have to refine some. Now we can let them do some of the coolies in the city. They can be used for things like building the city and moving things." Bai Langma's eyes lit up.
As for what a program is, he also understands it. After all, he has been baptized by the modern civilization brought by Xuanyuan Feiyan, so how can he not understand this.
Bai Langma's words also made Ye Chu's eyes light up. Yes, if there are a lot of dead puppets, those guys can be allowed to build the city.
All you need to do is let some people direct the puppets to do their work. Why didn't you ask Li Laosan earlier?
"Well, you have to refine it. I will teach you when the time comes. This won't be difficult. As long as you find some special materials, you can make a large number of puppets."
Li Laosan took a sip of wine and continued: "In building the ancient city, many of the city-building tasks were actually done by puppets or orcs. If you want to make puppets, it is best to make them strong. This is not the case.
Question, if you want to choose treasures, you have to make some more advanced living puppets, that is, get some living creatures, make them into puppets, and teach them some knowledge so that they have their own consciousness and can distinguish themselves.
But we can erase some special memories for them and let them only follow your instructions. They will not do anything else except what you tell them."
"It can be done this way, but if you want to make a living puppet, there are more conditions and the materials required are very special. You have to find some suitable living creatures." Li Laosan said.
He knows the art of curse very well. When he was in the Undead Realm, he learned these things and received a lot of inheritance.
He can be considered a half-evil cultivator, so he certainly knows a lot about things like making puppets.
It was rare for Ye Chu to get together with Li Laosan. Although he had been reunited with him for decades, he had not gotten together much in these decades.
The main reason is that this guy has not recovered yet. He was too seriously injured at the beginning. If he had been protected by the sacred tree in the past few decades, he would have been finished long ago.
"How are you doing now?" Ye Chu asked him.
Li Laosan drank wine and said: "I'm much better now. Although many Taoist methods can no longer be used, my body has become much stronger and has recovered to its core." "It's just that I can't use Taoist methods now.
We can only raise it for a while and slowly raise the Yuanling."
Li Laosan's current situation is that his body bones have recovered by several percent, but his Yuanling has not recovered and is still in the primary maintenance stage.
But fortunately, his insight and knowledge are still there, and he can still help Ye Chu. When he treated Sister-in-law Po'er and the two junior sisters before, it was also because Li Laosan knew the art of curses.
Otherwise, how could Ye Chu know the curse technique? These curse techniques were also learned from Li Laosan.
"Then, according to you, it would be better for us to get some puppets first, just to use them to build the city and do coolies..."
Ye Chu first asked Li Laosan to think about it and make a batch of puppets first.
After Li Laosan had eaten and drank enough, he talked to Ye Chu and Bailangma carefully: "If you want to use it to build a city, it's not enough to use just one kind of puppet. You have to use a variety of puppets together."
"The first thing is to get a bunch of overseers. These overseer puppets need to be high-level living puppets. They have to be trained to let them know how to build this city."
"We have to train them first and get these puppet supervisors out. The supervision can be omitted. Our people only need to send a few more powerful people to keep an eye on them and see how their projects are being completed.
That’s it. If something goes wrong, just call these overseer puppets over and talk to them, and they will naturally take care of things."
"The other thing is the puppets used as coolies. These puppets also need to be made of different types..."
Li Laosan introduced: "To build a city, you need someone to move things. There are many of these puppets. It is best to use beast spirit stones or directly use the corpses of beasts to make them into beast puppets."
"There are also craftsmen, all kinds of craftsmen, these can also make puppets. After all, we can't make the city square and square, we have to make it beautiful and well designed."
"For all kinds of craftsman puppets, it is best to use water spirit stones to shape them into human shapes, and then put them in the spirit pond to warm them for a period of time, and then they are ready."
Li Laosan understands these very well, and Bai Langma and Ye Chu are also secretly happy when they hear this. If these puppets are really created, then the heavy work in the world of Qiankun will be freed.
All you need to do is leave these things to the puppets. They only need to send some people to keep an eye on the progress of the project from time to time to see if there are any mistakes.
By saving a lot of labor, they and their bloodline can spend most of their time practicing in retreat instead of doing hard work.
"Well, Third Brother, let's get a few puppets out and try them out in the next few days to see the effect first."
Ye Chu is also looking forward to it, hoping to see these puppets soon. If there are puppets, it will indeed reduce a lot of labor.
Before, he was worried that there was no one, there were too few people in his universe.
