Chapter 98 Yuan Shen
May 24th.
In the early morning, Hu Tao was woken up by Xiao Wu Ye.
Her face turned red with embarrassment, she spat softly, kissed Wu Ye who was still sleeping, and left.
……
When Wu Ye got up, it was already three o'clock in the sky.
The construction team made rapid progress based on the school plan left by Ke Qing.
The craftsmen and craftsmen worked together to build the house in an orderly manner. First select the terrain, remove weeds and remove stones. Hammer, axe, shovel, workmanship complement each other. Dig the foundation deeply and build the foundation according to the rules.
Bricks, wood, and mortar build a solid foundation. The masonry is vertical and horizontal, and the mud is tight. The lintels of windows and doors are well structured. Clever use of rafters and columns, and roof support.
Wu Ye walked out of the courtyard and saw that after only one day and one night, the general framework of the academy a hundred meters away from the courtyard was completed.
The reason why the workers worked so energetically may be because Wu Ye paid them too generously.
Three days of work, dozens of people, one million molara per person, Wu Ye had paid in advance, and he was not afraid that they would overwork the work or the quality was not good, after all, he had signed a contract.
Most of these workers are people who work as laborers at the dock. They usually take some jobs as extra subsidies, such as Dahu who helped Wu Ye repair Xiaolong's grave.
Dahu also came this time. Wu Ye specifically asked him to come by name, so he worked extra hard.
"Dahu, you should take a proper rest like other workers. There is still plenty of time. Come, come with me to pick some peaches to eat."
Wu Ye smiled and extended the invitation.
This dull and honest middle-aged man replied respectfully: "Okay, boss, everything is up to you."
Wu Ye asked him to walk side by side, but Dahu refused and followed Wu Ye like a servant.
"Ugh."
Wu Ye sighed lightly, it seemed that it was right to establish an academy and open a school.
……
Prince Dadalia followed Sora and Paimon, and finally created a chance encounter.
"Hello, traveler, I have long admired your name! I am the best toy salesman from the Winter Country, Dadalia, can you make friends with me..."
Before the young master finished speaking, Kong and Paimon quickly left.
"Ah? What on earth is going on?!"
The young master scratched his head. With his strong limbs and simple mind, he couldn't understand.
Why do these people ignore me at all? Has my identity as the executive officer of Fools been discovered?
"No! If this continues, there will be no progress in my mission at all. I must personally dedicate the heart of Morax to Her Majesty the Queen!"
The young master clenched his fists, eagerly thinking of ways to break the situation.
"Yes! I can find the young Taoist priest yesterday..."
……
"Wow! That person just now is the 'Master' of the Fools' Executive Officer as Wu Ye calls him. But he looks stupid and wants to use the title of 'Toy Salesman' to deceive people."
Paimon complained.
Kong said cautiously: "Don't underestimate him. I can feel that underneath that childish appearance is a warrior's body that has been tempered to the extreme."
"Why does the young master look so scary?! Fortunately, we can walk fast. If we encounter him in the future, we should run as far away as possible."
Kong nodded: "Anyway, we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble! If he dares to stop me from looking for my sister, he will be my enemy."
……
When he first arrived in You, Wu Ye put on a blue robe, rolled up his sleeves and stood guard outside the door of the Rebirth Hall.
After a while, Zhongli also came out, still wearing normal clothes.
"Master."
Wu Ye cupped his hands and bowed.
"Just call me Mr. Zhongli today."
Zhongli walked away first.
Wu Ye followed Zhong Li and asked curiously: "Why are you going to Liulicing tonight?"
Zhongli smiled slightly: "A lady invited me. I had nothing to do, so I agreed. It just so happens that I have something to tell you."
Wu Ye remained calm, he already knew who the "lady" Zhongli mentioned was.
"Wu Ye, did you know? In more than ten days, the annual "Invitation to Immortal Ceremony" is about to begin."
Wu Ye asked knowingly: "I know, so you want to do it as usual?"
Zhongli didn't answer directly, but just talked about the past.
More than three thousand years ago, the seven gods of that era often gathered in Liyue.
To this day, Morax can still recall the taste of those wines.
Since then, the world has continued to change, and everything he once knew is gradually disappearing.
The positions of the seven gods have changed again and again, and five of the seven people at the reception have died. The ancient responsibility of the original seven gods to "guide mankind" finally began to be regarded as nothing by some new gods.
Having experienced more than three thousand years of wind and frost, even the strongest rock can be worn away. Moreover, the wind never came to him again.
"Not long ago, on a drizzly morning, I was walking in Liyue Port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates:
"You've done your job well. Now, go and rest. 』
"I paused for a long time in the bustling crowd."
"At that time, I was thinking, has my duty... been completed?"
Hearing Zhong Li's words, Wu Ye wanted to complain.
"You are eating, drinking and having fun here every day, which is no different from your retirement life. 』
Wu Ye said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean. You want to abdicate, but at the same time, you are worried about whether the people of Liyue can continue to live as they did in the past after losing the blessing of the gods."
\"For you, Liyue is like a child who is about to grow up. You hope that this child can be independent and continue to grow and develop even without you around.\"
Zhongli nodded appreciatively: "So, I need to set up a test."
"Even if many people will die in this test?"
Zhongli was slightly surprised and shook his head: "I won't let such an accident happen."
"But since accidents are called accidents, even you, as a god, cannot prevent them, otherwise what happened five hundred years ago would not have happened!"
"You know? It should be so, and that's fine... So for this test, I will arrange for one person in advance - you, to eliminate these accidents."
Wu Ye looked shocked and pointed at himself: "Me? What virtue and ability do I have? I can't fight, and I can't..."
Zhongli interrupted: "You can do it. From now on, I will leave the supervision of the Seven Stars to you. I will give you the title of True Monarch of Bagua Divination, and you will be the Master of Jade Jingtai, or Jade Master for short..."
"and many more!"
Wu Ye quickly waved his hand, what the hell are "Bagua Divination Master" and "Jade Master"? How can they be named like this.
"No, no, I don't have time to take care of these things, I still have to teach writing!"
Seeing Wu Ye shaking his head like a rattle, Zhongli continued to persuade: "As long as you are willing to take on this responsibility, I can give you the last bit of my divine power."
"Enlightenment?!"
"No, this requires you to refine it slowly. In your current state, well... it should take a thousand years."
Wu Ye smiled helplessly: "A thousand years... I guess I won't be able to practice even half of it even if I die."
Zhong Li smiled and said, "With this divine power, you can live for at least several thousand years."
Wu Ye shook his head: "What about my grandfather, Hu Tao and the others?"
"Parting between life and death is something everyone has to experience, even gods are no exception..."
Zhongli lowered his head and looked at the earth, then looked up at Tianheng Mountain.
"In the face of a time older than eternity, even death itself will disappear."
Seeing Wu Ye's silence, Zhong Li said seriously: "Actually, there is still a way."
Wu Ye's eyes lit up: "What?!"
"The devil and his retinue."
……
Wu Ye finally agreed to Zhongli, but he asked to change the "Bagua Divination Master" to "Tai Chi Xi Yi Zhenjun" and the "Jade Master" to "Yuan Shen". Only in this way can he be more powerful!
Huh? You said there is no connection between "Yuan Shen" and "Jade Master"?
What happened to you, Yuanshen?!
