I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 272: The Strange Traces of the Number One Scholar (asking for monthly tickets)
After the ghost peddler left, Sangque looked towards the mountains in the southwest.

"I want to go over and take a look."

Sang Que was certain that the Red Umbrella Ghost had been swallowed by Yu Da, and its sudden appearance here must be related to Yu Da.

Yaozhen had the same idea. After all, she was a member of Mingyue Mountain now, and it was her duty to eliminate the hidden dangers for Mingyue Mountain. The foundation of her Taoist temple had already been dug, and she didn't want Mingyue Mountain to be destroyed before Qingfeng Temple was built.

The two of them squeezed together and sat in the sedan chair. As long as Sang Que thought of that place in the mountain or pointed in a direction, the sedan chair would rush to that place on its own, ignoring all obstacles in the middle and going in a straight line.

In a short while, the two of them arrived at the mountain. The sedan chair stopped at the outskirts of the original ghost domain. The red umbrella ghost was afraid of the aura in it and refused to move forward. After arriving at the place, he threw the sedan chair to the ground and disappeared with the four headless ghost slaves.

Sangque and Yaozhen got out of the sedan chair and saw the scenery in the mountains clearly. Sangque immediately realized that the person who had been wandering here was not Yu Da, but the top scholar ghost.

Because there are still traces of ink painting in the mountains and forests before my eyes, it is as if a piece of the normal world was suddenly hollowed out and filled with ink, which seems out of tune with everything around it.

Yao Zhen calculated the time and let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, the ghost domain just appeared that day, and now it is only seven days away. If you look carefully, the ghost domain is dissipating from the surrounding area little by little. The dissipation process will be slower, but it will not form a dead zone."

No wandering evil spirits appeared in this ghost area or in the area within several miles. As the ink faded, the trees below also withered and died, losing all vitality.

Yu Da may have met the No. 1 Scholar Ghost, or for some reason, Yu Da released the Red Umbrella Ghost, and the Red Umbrella Ghost was trapped by the No. 1 Scholar Ghost. When she invites the five ghosts, she will exert a pulling force on the ghosts around her who are willing to contract with her.

So, at present, this seems to be the only possibility that the Red Umbrella Ghost could have escaped from the realm of the No. 1 Ghost.

The top scholar ghost was smarter. He sensed that there was someone with profound Taoist skills nearby, so he ran away quickly.

Sang Que and Yao Zhen acted separately, searching in the mountains and forests along the edge of the ghost realm, but there was no trace of the top scholar ghost, and no one knew where he had gone.

Yao was really worried, wondering where the top scholar ghost would go to harm the people next.

"Let's go back."

Sangque took Yaozhen back to Mingyue Mountain in a sedan chair.

The bridal sedan stopped on a high mountain beside the entrance to the gorge. The bright moon was high in the sky, and the sky was full of stars. The watery moonlight illuminated every corner of the mountain.

In the past few days, Sangque and Yaozhen have renamed several places in the mountains.

The remote Qingfeng Temple is located next to a small stone forest outside the mountain. From Qingfeng Temple, passing through the small path in the woods is the gorge leading into the mountain. This gorge is named "Chaotian Road". When a checkpoint is built inside in the future, it will be called "Chaotian Pass".

The two mountains sandwiching Chaotian Road are simply called "Shuangping Mountains". These two mountains are relatively high and can completely hide everything behind them from the outside.

In the past, there were bandits in Jinfeng Mountain. The government knew about this, and every year when they needed to achieve political achievements, they would send troops to encircle and suppress them.

When Yaozhen's Taoist temple was almost finished, she was asked to register with the government, telling them that the bandits in the area had been wiped out by her, and asking the government to assign Jinfeng Mountain to Yaozhen as the territory of the Taoist temple.

In this place where evil spirits are everywhere, the government is very happy to see someone willing to govern an area. In addition, due to the relationship between Taoism and the Evil Suppression Bureau, the government will only collect a symbolic amount of tax every year and send people to patrol every year, and will not interfere too much.

In the future, the government will even build villages near Taoist temples to increase the population.

At that time, Yaozhen can use the name of the Taoist temple to recruit disciples openly and recruit people into the mountains secretly, killing two birds with one stone.

When Yaozhen chose to build Qingfeng Temple outside the mountain, it really helped Sangque a lot.

Standing on the top of Shuangping Mountain, Sangque looked around Mingyue Mountain. The originally barren mountain was full of trees and wasteland, but now part of the wasteland has been reclaimed, and square fields are scattered all over the flat land in the mountain. The river, fields, and mountain villages give off an atmosphere of paradise.

At the place where the city was to be built, the trees had already been cut down, and the outline of the Bagua shape could be seen from a high vantage point.

Simple dams have also been built along the tributaries of the hanging river. In the next few days, we will start digging canals to bring water from the tributaries into the heart of the mountains and pass by the fields. Water wheels and mills will then be built in due course.

During this process, Yao Zhen will always guard the river to ensure that water ghosts do not suddenly appear.

Yaozhen has been exploring in various places in the mountains these days and has discovered high-quality clay and a large mulberry forest.

Mulberry leaves can be used to raise silkworms, and clay can be used to make bricks.

Relying on the information on the modern Internet, it is not difficult to build a brick kiln. Sangque also plans to directly burn bricks that are a mixture of cinnabar and Tokachi stone fragments.

When Wangshan City was being built, due to resource issues, not all of the city walls were made of special bricks. Sangque decided to be extravagant and use all of the special bricks to build the city, including the construction of Chaotian Pass and the Yaozhen Taoist Temple.

To date, Sangque has provided all the plans and technical drawings that she can make, and the rest is handed over to the people below to realize her plans bit by bit and strive to overcome the difficulties in the construction process.

After all, she had no experience and couldn't give any advice, so she could only trust in the wisdom of the working people.

Although they are still a makeshift team, they will eventually grow with the catalysis of time.

Once the infrastructure is completed, we will proceed to the next step of the training plan.

The bandits who had committed various crimes before and were killed by her as a warning to others have been buried in a corpse-raising ground and fed with the blood of wild animals hunted in the mountains.

A weapons workshop is also in Sangque's plan. Jiang Zao has a lot of ready-made drawings that can be used, but there is currently a lack of talent in this area.

There is also a shortage of raw materials. If I buy them in large quantities from Hyundai, my mother's wallet won't be able to bear it. It would be great if there were iron ore in the mountains.

"Yaozhen, I have to leave for a while. If everything goes well, I will be back within a month." Sangque said to Yaozhen.

She thought Yaozhen would ask her where she was going, and she was ready to use Yan Daozi as an excuse and say that she was going to find her master.

Yao Zhen didn't ask, but just nodded and said, "Got it, I'll keep an eye on this place for you. If there's any problem, you can deduct my wages. My Qingfeng Temple depends on you. When it's finished, I'll take my master here. She will definitely like this place."

Sang Que paused, "Ms. Zhang Junyao from the Zhang family in Pu'an City is my business partner. She will send some cattle and sheep to us in a few days. You can accept them and give her all the things I have piled to the right of the warehouse door. Tell her what you need in the mountains. If you don't have enough money, just owe it to her first and I will pay her when I come back."

Sangque cleared out a warehouse in the Ruan family village and put some grain in it. If all goes well, the potatoes and sweet potatoes can be harvested in three months, and the food crisis can be temporarily resolved.

In addition to glutinous rice and cinnabar, the goods given to Zhang Junyao also included some raw Tokachi stone, glass products, and industrially electrocuted peach wood. Sangque was shown to Yaozhen. It was a little inferior to the naturally formed lightning-struck wood, but it could also be used to make magical instruments.

Sang Que kept the Red Ghost and added a rule of action for it with the help of the Ghost Slave Seal, asking it to patrol the mountains and kill immediately any evil ghosts that entered the mountains without her permission.

After explaining various things, Sang Que sent Yaozhen back to Ruan's village to rest. She then went to the other four villages and told the second and third leaders that she would be leaving temporarily and gave them a reminder.

She handed the crossbow and the remaining fifty crossbow arrows to Luo Danian, asking him to keep an eye on the others and strictly abide by the rules she set, not allowing the former bandits to do evil. Her patience was limited, and if the number of Ghost Slave Seals was not enough, these people would not have survived until now.

After making sure there was no big problem, Sang Que carried her small bag and left Mingyue Mountain in a sedan chair. Now there was a Yaozhen in the mountain. If she didn't go far away and disappeared directly in the village, Yaozhen would definitely notice it.

She would like to take advantage of this opportunity to resolve all the issues concerning the Golden Boy and the Story Chain Group, so that she can have no worries in the modern world and concentrate on developing here.
