The day after Wang Daoyuan sent the letter, his eighth uncle Wang Shoujiang released news of recruitment.
Some ordinary tribesmen nearby have come to Jingtie Mountain one after another. After all, this is the edge of the Wang family's territory. There are many monsters and beasts. It is difficult to feed a family just by growing crops. Most of the young and middle-aged people choose to work in some of the family's mines and forest farms.
.
Wang Daoyuan put on a black robe without a hat, changed his name to Huang Yun, and sneaked into Jingtie Mountain. The casual cultivator was dressed in a lot of clothes, but he was not conspicuous.
When recruiting miners this time, in addition to ordinary members of the Wang family, there are also a few casual cultivators, but they are all at the first or second level of Qi training.
The vast majority of casual cultivators do not have a systematic inheritance, and those who know the various arts of cultivation are extremely rare.
Monks like them who have just entered the path of spiritual practice have low cultivation, weak fighting ability, inability to hunt monsters, and no special skills. Apart from working as coolies for some forces, there is no good way out.
The Wang family was backward in family ethics, and they always behaved with their tail between their legs. They were also kind to ordinary cultivators.
It has a good reputation among casual cultivators, and there are still some casual cultivators who help the Wang family, and some even join the Wang family.
Every cultivator family is willing to recruit casual cultivators. After all, every family has many female cultivators. If they marry outside the family, the family will suffer a great loss.
If you work hard to train a monk and marry another family, the initial investment will be basically wasted, and some of the family's secrets will easily be exposed.
Unless you are marrying out of a more powerful family and seeking support.
For example, a female monk from the Zhuji family marries a child of the Zifu family.
On the contrary, recruiting excellent casual cultivators can add fresh blood to the family and increase the number of family cultivators.
Some casual cultivators work in the properties of cultivating families with the intention of marrying into the cultivator family. Although most families cannot help the cultivating cultivators build foundations, they still have a lot of resources for daily cultivation.
The married monks themselves will not be recognized by the family, but their descendants will not be treated differently if they grow up in the family.
Among the casual cultivators who worked in the mines with Wang Daoyuan, there was one who wanted to marry into the Wang family.
This man looks pretty good, more than seven feet tall, and looks to be in his early twenties, but he gives off a smooth feeling.
As soon as this man saw Wang Daoyuan, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation and said, "Brother, do you also want to marry into the Wang family?"
Wang Daoyuan was a little strange, why did this guy ask like this? Is it popular among casual cultivators to say hello like this?
Besides, I don’t look like a freeloader.
He looks relatively masculine, with a body length of more than eight feet, eyebrows like lying silkworms, eyes like bright stars, and a face with sharp edges and corners, which makes him incompatible with the creamy boy.
Wang Daoyuan asked: "Why does this brother ask this? Are there many people who come here to work as miners to marry into the Wang family?"
"It's not much, it's just that I have this idea." The naughty young man said, "I see Lin Yuan, my brother is so handsome and he actually does this kind of work, I thought he also wanted to marry into the Wang family, so I have one more person.
A powerful rival."
Wang Daoyuan was a little suspicious of this Lin Yuan. This guy had never seen a female cultivator from the Wang family, so he was about to marry into his wife.
Either they feel that there is no hope for immortality, they no longer want to struggle, they just want to find a place to live, and to put it bluntly, they just want to be a worm; or they are spies sent by other forces.
Either way, it's not a good bird.
Moreover, this guy just came at this time and took the initiative to greet me. It might be related to the previous disappearance case.
Twenty or thirty people came this morning. In the afternoon, the steward took the new arrivals down to the mine and assigned work to them.
The mine tunnel was dug according to the extension direction of the ore vein. It has many twists and turns, and there are so many forks in the road. If the steward hadn't taken him with him, no one would have been able to find the place.
There are big stewards and small stewards in the mine. The big steward is in charge of one thing in the mine, such as mining, transportation, logistics, etc. There is a big steward each.
Below the big steward there are several smaller stewards, who are equivalent to captains and manage a number to dozens of people.
Most of these stewards are relatives of the monks of the Wang family and have no spiritual roots. In order to let the monks have no worries, the family usually finds them something to do in the family industry.
The big steward brought a group of people into the mine, and each small steward selected a few people and brought them into the mine tunnels they managed.
The little steward assigned to Wang Daoyuan is an honest man in his thirties. He doesn't talk much. He treats ordinary miners well and is quite popular among the miners.
There was also a casual cultivator who was assigned to Wang Daoyuan. He was about thirty years old and had a second-level Qi cultivation level.
The strength of monks is far greater than that of ordinary people, and the speed of mining ore is also far beyond that of ordinary people. With monks under their command, more ore can be dug out in the entire mine, and small stewards will also be rewarded.
Two monks were assigned at one time. The young steward was very happy. He took the newcomers to the rest area of his mine tunnel and said to the old miners: "This time we have two monks assigned to our mine tunnel. We will definitely be able to mine this month."
If you rank first, everyone will get a reward."
A strong young man sneered and said: "There is no use for monks. There were not many monks in the tunnel before? Didn't they all disappear without any reason? It's hard to say how many days these two can survive."
The casual cultivator who came with Wang Daoyuan was a little scared and asked: "Didn't you say that this matter has been resolved?"
The sturdy young man snorted and said: "What has been solved is that the family sent someone over again, and nothing has happened these days. After several days of investigation, we can't even find out why the person is missing."
The steward scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you still want to do it?"
The strong young man was not convinced, and just as he was about to continue talking back to the steward, he was stopped by some older companions next to him.
The young steward assigned tasks to the new arrivals and then turned around and left.
Wang Daoyuan wanted to say a few more words, so he pretended to be reckless and said: "No matter what it is, I, Huang Yun, have been practicing since I was a child. Am I still afraid of those monsters?"
Seeing Wang Daoyuan's big words, the robust young man mocked: "There were several immortals older than you before, but there was no movement before they disappeared.
No matter how powerful you are, how can you be as powerful as the immortal sent by the clan to guard Jingtie Mountain? Even his old man can't find out the reason, how can you do it?"
Even though the steward was away, everyone dared to speak, and you started talking one sentence at a time.
A middle-aged man in his forties said: "It's strange to say that I am already in my forties. I'm not like you young people who like to sleep. Two or three hours of sleep a day is enough. But every time someone
When I disappeared, I felt very sleepy and could sleep for more than four hours."
Everyone talked enthusiastically, and Wang Daoyuan also discovered something unusual when someone disappeared from their conversations.
Miners sleep in the rest area at night. The so-called rest area is formed by widening the mine tunnel. Each person has a straw bunk and two quilts. The rest area is not large. There are dozens of people resting here, almost one after another.
But every time someone goes missing, no one else in the mine is aware of it, and even the monks who haven't disappeared haven't noticed any movement.
In addition, the middle-aged man said that every time someone goes missing, he always sleeps very deeply.
From this, we can infer that someone may have poisoned or used some soothing spell.
