Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 98 Caomiao Village

By the time we left Qingyun Mountain, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

As a last resort, Xu Zhiqiu could only stay in Heyang City for another night.

But I didn't dare to stay in high-end hotels like Shanhaiyuan.
He only found an ordinary inn and spent two taels of silver, and the funds for the sect's reconstruction were reduced a little bit by him.

To make a simple summary,

This time, including food, lodging and buying gifts, the total cost was nearly 40 taels of silver.

This made Xu Baopi feel quite painful.

Now that I have a eldest disciple, I have gained some reputation.

What remains is the site selection of the mountain gate and the construction funds.

The former is something you can only encounter by chance, but if you can come across an unowned mountain or river spiritual vein, that would naturally be a piece of cake falling from the sky.

If you really don't encounter it, there is no need to be discouraged.

Even if you have used up all the human resources, don't you still have to let the rest depend on fate?

As for the construction funds, Xu Zhiqiu made a rough estimate.

If the Trinity Gate were to be built to the same scale as in the previous life - together with hundreds of rooms in the upper and lower houses - considering the land and prices in this world... it would cost at least 18,000 taels of silver.

For him now, it is an astronomical figure.

After all, we can't rob banks like terrorists,

You can only earn it bit by bit.

Fortunately, he had some modern knowledge in his bones. He thought that if he sold some novel things like perfumes and soaps, he should be able to make a lot of money, right?

If there was really no other choice, they would just take Wu Chongguang with them and go out to perform on the streets.

He performed the stone-breaking-with-chest trick for people, letting Wu Chongguang lie there while he swung the sledgehammer.

What we want is a visual impact.

If all else fails, he will simply write martial arts novels.
Take out all the knowledge in your mind and submit it to a bookstore.

For example, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, etc.

If the name of the dynasty is changed, I think it will be popular with readers.

When all else failed, he decided to try a different approach and create the bible of the time, "Jin Ping Mei".

Then hire a few skilled painters to paint pictures on the blank spaces on the pages and put all the "insert" pictures in.

It is specially sold to those literati and poets who have some knowledge of literature. Hehe, it is guaranteed to be a big hit in the market and every copy will be sold out.

Fall asleep with sweet dreams.

But it seemed to rain heavily in the second half of the night, and thunder lasted for half the night.

I woke him up twice, which was a bit disappointing.

He checked out at dawn the next day.

After leaving Heyang City, he flew into the air on his sword and headed east for a short while, about forty or fifty miles?

"..." My nose twitched and I could smell a faint fishy smell.

He lowered his head and looked around, and found that there was a village not far away.

The houses are sparse, with about forty or fifty households.

The village is another forty or fifty miles south, just reaching the corner of the Qingyun Mountains.

"Why does it smell like blood?"

Xu Zhiqiu flew down from the clouds on his sword and landed on the ground.

At the entrance of the village in front of us stands a stone tablet with the name of the village inscribed on it.

——Caomiao Village.

The whole village was submerged in the morning mist and appeared hazy.

Abnormally, there was silence.

Farmers are the most hardworking. Normally, by this time, there should be smoke rising from their kitchens and the sounds of chickens and dogs.

Xu Zhiqiu took a closer look and saw two farm children lying behind the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.

When I got closer, I found that they were the same age, no more than eight or nine years old, and both had their eyes closed.
After inputting my true energy to investigate, I found that he was just unconscious and should be fine.

The bloody smell in his nose became more and more distinct. Xu Zhiqiu looked at the village entrance which was swirled into a vortex by the mist and hesitated for a moment.

"Could it be..."

At this time, the sun gradually rose and the sunlight began to become warmer.

The sun melted the mist like snow, revealing the empty streets of the village.

There was no human voice, not even the sound of livestock. The only thing that could be heard was the buzzing of swarms of flies.

Xu Zhiqiu put his two children aside for the time being and walked into the village.

After passing through many houses, we finally followed the smell of blood and the sounds of flies and arrived at a flat area in the middle of the village.

"This……"

The scene he saw stunned him for a moment.

There were corpses everywhere.

However, there were more than 200 bodies of all sizes, including men, women, young and old, from more than 40 households in Cao Miao Village, lying here.

A large pool of blood had formed, which had turned dark brown and had already solidified.

The strong fishy smell attracted swarms of flies, which flew around in the air and buzzed towards people's faces.

The entire village was massacred by someone unknown!
Xu Zhiqiu was greatly shocked.
"This is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. Who on earth dares to do such a thing to wipe out the whole family?"

As he was guessing,
"what!"

Two screams of terror were heard behind me.

Turning around and looking,
It turned out that the two children had woken up from a coma. Seeing the bloody scene, they were frightened and screamed, then fainted again.
