Chapter 488: Go to the Divine Water Palace
Many things in this world are unpredictable, and some things are impossible to prevent. Ding Yi can only try to make some precautions and delay time as much as possible.
The matter of the Shenxing Palace has not been completely resolved, and Li Shanyuan's death, the Shenxing Palace will definitely send someone to check it again. Fortunately, the old Zen master has already copied a copy of the personnel roster information of the Shenxing Palace in the western region. It is already impossible for the Shenxing Palace to send someone to Lechuan City to track down Li Shanyuan's death without knowing it.
The director of the western part of the Shenxing Palace is called Tong Lian, according to the old Zen master, this is not a person who can be easily convinced, otherwise Ding Yi would like to go to Zhongzhou in person to see if he can take this guy down.
Originally, Ding Yi was still a little conceited about his strength, but after fighting with Lian Fusheng, he has now returned to reason. Back then, when Emperor Xiao Feng established the Shenwu Empire, Emperor Xiao Feng was not the strongest person in that era. And the reason why he was able to sweep through the Liuhe Eight Desolations and make the Shenwu Empire invincible in the world was that with a complete set of systems of the Shenwu Empire, a large number of cultivation seeds were selected, and after more than ten years of development, the Shenwu Empire became the country with the most cultivators in that era.
When the quantity reaches a certain level, the quantitative change causes the qualitative change, and finally the withering and decaying are established, and an immortal dynasty is established.
Ding Yi has every reason to believe that as long as it is stable for another five or six years, the new forces that have developed with Lechuan City as the base will definitely become the most powerful forces in the underground world.
This world is no longer an era when you can be a king and hegemon with the courage of a horseman. Although it has become a peerless master who dominates the scene, it is desirable. However, Ding Yi prefers to become the gardener who gave birth to the Puppet Dao to thrive, leading his invincible army and ushering in a new era.
He Tiandu was also banned, and He Tiandu and Tu Xiaorong have now become Ding Yi's subordinates.
The vocational skills class of Phoenix Vocational Skills School has been taught for more than a month, and it has finally begun to be officially taught to the outside world.
Cultivating highly skilled industrial workers is a key point that Ding Yi attaches great importance to. Dozens of children of the family have studied for more than a month with the technical teachers of those school-run factories, and now they can finally serve as technician lecturers, assist those technical teachers, and teach skills and knowledge to those workers.
Every cultivator in Lethe City, including those who are the heads of the family, has a task, whether it is civil construction, construction, or cultivation of elixirs, and forging...... Everyone is involved in all the other things in Lethe City. Even Tu Xiaorong and He Tiandu, they can't stay out of the matter.
Lethe City can be said to be developing at a rapid pace with each passing day. Some newly opened factories and workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Most of these factories and workshops were built by the Phoenix Trading Company.
With the rapid development of industry, the small towns around Lechuan City have also undergone considerable changes. Because of the rapid development of Lechuan City, the demand for some basic materials has increased, and it has also led to many emerging industries.
The Phoenix Trading Company was half coerced and half seduced, and a large amount of land and people around Lechuan City were taken down.
New types of farms began to appear, and agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishing began to develop completely differently from before. After annexing a large amount of land and population, Lethe City became more and more prosperous.
The development of the water dragon trading company is also rapid and abnormal, and its business tentacles have now penetrated into the mainland, and with the circulation of these new products, this influence has gradually spread to the outside.
This new change is a bit dizzying, and most people just follow the trend, but there are also people with quick thinking who have become trendsetters and stand out.
Zheng Lun is one of the representatives.
As the eldest son of the Zheng family, this guy who has no qualifications for cultivating truth, seeks death and life, and commits suicide twice. Since following Ding Yi, he seems to have opened his spiritual aura. Soon his talent was revealed from Ding Yi's many mortal students.
Ding Yi originally arranged for him to go to a printing factory to assist a technical teacher and learn movable type printing. As a result, he relied on self-taught tricks and formations, and after more than a month, he successfully invented photocopying and made the first photocopier in the underground world.
Photocopying technology has long appeared in the Shenwu Empire, but in the underground world, without Ding Yi's specific guidance, a mortal can figure it out by himself with just the two cultivation books handed down by Ding Yi, which is simply a miracle.
Zheng Lun's performance is certainly worthy of praise, so Ding Yi specially kept Zheng Lun by his side for a week and taught him all the knowledge about photocopying that he knew in the Shenwu Empire.
It didn't take long for Phoenix Media, a joint venture between the Zheng family and Phoenix Trading Company, to be officially launched.
The first newspaper in the underground world, "Business Herald", was the first to be launched by this Phoenix Media. Including Ding Yi, many monks wrote articles in this newspaper, and several children of the family also became professional reporters and writers of this newspaper.
The circulation of this newspaper is not large, and the literate population of Lechuan City is not large. In the early days, it was mainly used as the mouthpiece of the Phoenix Trading Company, doing some advertising and promotion, and releasing some instant news about Lethe City.
The circulation of 5,000 copies was almost entirely absorbed by Phoenix Trading Company itself. All wine shops, tea houses, and bakeries are completely free of charge. However, Ding Yi attaches great importance to this emerging industry created by Zheng Lun. It is highly supported in terms of human, material and financial resources.
This is a platform for the interaction between cultivators and mortals, and it is also a stage for puppet Taoists to roar loudly, and it is a battlefield for dominating public opinion and leading the correct customs and values in the western region.
Grasp the right to speak, take advantage of the situation, and appropriately package or even bleach any remarks that are not conducive to development. It's like annexing the land around Lechuan City, which is obviously an injustice. In order to appease the peasants who lost their land, in order to keep the citizens of Lethe City and these peasants
In the event of a conflict, Ding Yi did a lot of publicity in the newspapers, and of course Ding Yi also released a lot of measures to benefit the people, and multi-pronged measures were taken to make those peasants who went to the city put down their burdens and happily integrated into their new lives.
In addition to Zheng Lun, some new talents have also emerged, basically all of whom are talents in the Phoenix trading company system, and Ding Yi has always rewarded these people.
Phoenix Trading Co., Ltd. has created a reward startup fund to encourage those who have ideas and invent themselves. Give them more suitable positions and give them high incentives. If they are willing to come out and do business themselves, Phoenix Trading Company will also vigorously support them. Plant, capital, technology, personnel. As well as all aspects of production and sales, vigorously counsel and assist.
The entire industry of Lethe City has developed rapidly in an explosive way.
Ding Yi was the tutor of those graduate classes and the elite classes, and many times, he organized these students together for divergent teaching, and sometimes he would record some videos and audios to teach through this form.
The puppet learning of the top student class is more placed in the club. Although these students are very good, the accumulation of cultural knowledge and natural science knowledge is far from enough.
He usually spends his mornings at Nirvana Academy and in the school headquarters in the afternoons, and his schedule is very tight. However, the master leads the way in, and the cultivation depends on the individual. He can't do everything, and he can't do everything, and he has to deal with everything himself.
Besides, failure is the mother of success, and without the accumulation of failure, you can't go far with smooth sailing. Ding Yi himself has encountered many failures in learning puppetry, and many times, he still fails him. Take it out for everyone to analyze, the various reasons for failure.
In the neighboring cities, many cultivators began to be absorbed. Especially for those scattered cultivators, Lethe City is like a big magnet, I have been here for one or two trips, the way of life here, and some dazzling new products, especially Lethe City, the inclusiveness of all rivers and rivers, so that the cultivators who come over are happy, and few people are willing to go back.
In just three or four months, Lechuan City successfully absorbed forty or fifty cultivators from all over the world.
Of course, there may be spies from other forces, Jin Zhizhi and Tu Xiaorong, who are specifically responsible for screening these people. Lechuan City is located in the remote western part of the underworld, and this is not the center of the underworld, and the various forces rarely turn their attention to this side.
The two hidden piles of the Shenxing Palace, because the identity information had long been obtained by the old Zen master, these two people had just arrived in Lechuan City, and as soon as they appeared, they were intercepted by Jin Zhizhi and Tu Xiaorong.
These two people are not of high level, one is the first level of the spirit level, and the other is the high level of the feather level, and under the torture of Tu Xiaorong's set of mental fears, they quickly defected and surrendered.
Ding Yi also banned the two people, and at the same time brainwashed them before finally putting them back.
But now, Ding Yi is also going to leave Lechuan City temporarily, he wants to go to Shenshui Palace with Luo Yan for the Hundred Gods War to be held at the end of next year, and they have to prepare for the competition.
Ding Yi is nominally a closed disciple of Jin Zhizhi, and Zhong Hao, Jin Zhizhi's original disciple, is eager to be replaced. Someone is willing to go on top, and that's a great thing.
This time, it was Jin Zhizhi who personally took Ding Yi and Luo Yan back to Shenshui Palace. Shenshui Palace is located in the easternmost part of the underworld, and the flight distance between the two places is more than 18,000 kilometers.
With such a long distance, the journey on a single road almost takes nearly a month.
Although Ding Yi really wanted to travel to the underground world, he still didn't waste his time on the road. With the help of the old Zen master, the great master, the journey of thousands of miles is only a half-day effort.
The time saved was still used by Ding Yi in Lethe City.
Nearly five months of hard work, Lechuan City has accumulated a lot of materials, Meng Zhaoxiong in Centipede Mountain, using four unicorn fairy puppets, mined a lot of iron ore, Monsanto's ironworks have adopted a lot of new Xiuzhen technology, so that the steel on Monsanto's side, a steady stream, to ensure the supply of Lechuan City.
At the same time, taking advantage of the convenience of the water dragon trading company, artificially delayed, the production of several other forces in Centipede Mountain. continued to cause the collapse of steel prices, and then the affiliated chamber of commerce of the water dragon trading company divided into joint attacks, and took the opportunity to take down several poorly managed mines......
The underground world is rich in resources, especially spirit stones, which are far more abundant than on the surface. The water dragon trading company has made a lot of purchases in various places.
The wealth is moving, and several chambers of commerce are also targeted, absorbing a lot of cultivators and attracting many families from various cities.
Ding Yi has made a lot of careful arrangements in Lechuan City during these times, and at the same time has made some restrictions, Lechuan City has been running too fast, the foundation is not stable, and the expansion of the city is just a way of destruction for its own destruction, only by laying a solid foundation and steadily fighting step by step can we go further.
Ding Yi also has an important task, that is, to find a big backer for Lethe City. Jin Zhizhi and himself have to go to Shenshui Palace. The old Zen master is just a spectacle. The strength of Luo Bing and his wife and Tu Mou is not enough to protect their inheritance. The most suitable candidate is to practice resurrection without knowing Ding Yi.
Accepting Zisu to come to Phoenix Vocational Skills School to learn puppetry, practicing resurrection is a favor owed to Ding Yi, not only that, Ding Yi also often invites Lian Fusheng to come to Lechuan City for banquets.
There are a lot of good things in Lechuan City, which are deeply attracted to practice resurrection. Whether it's a wonderful magic disc or a variety of delicate gadgets, these make Lian Fusheng linger.
Many places are unconditionally open to the practice of resurrection. Ding Yi spent a lot of effort to build the 'Enchanted Pavilion' in Modou Mountain, and when it was completed, he invited him to come here to study.
The Phoenix Trading Company, as well as the senior management of the Water Dragon Trading Company, were also very enthusiastic about Lian Fusheng and gave him the highest courtesy.
Lethe City is new
The snacks that come, all kinds of new-style gadgets, often have not yet been launched, and people are sent to the Fierce Ghost Slope first.
Ding Yi also did his best to provide her with the best conditions and the best environment for the female disciple Zisu who practiced resurrection.
In order to curry favor with Shisu, Ding Yi refined a lot of exquisite jewelry and clothes, and then passed through Luo Yan's hands and transferred them to Zisu's hands. In order to help her recover her qualifications, Ding Yi also tried his best to refine some elixirs for him.
At the same time, Ding Yi gave a death order to Meng Chan, and he must win Zisu's heart.
Shiso, who fell from the top of the clouds to the mortal dust, was originally very negative. Since her qualifications were destroyed and she was removed from the Divine Nian Palace, she has long been disheartened. If it weren't for Lian Fusheng's meticulous care of her like a daughter, maybe she would have died a long time ago.
Coming to Lethe City can be said to be unexpected.
Phoenix Vocational Skills School, this strange school, has transformed her original heart. This school, where cultivators and mortals are mixed, is full of weirdness and mystery from top to bottom.
This school, which has not been in operation for more than a month, is the largest school that Shiso has ever seen. The grand scene of 60,000 or 70,000 people coming here to attend classes and study can only be found in the 'ghost place' of Lechuan City.
The principal of the school turned out to be only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy! If this were to be said, it is estimated that no one would believe it. However, this young man is a peerless master on a par with his master, which is even more amazing.
This Wu Tian, Principal Wu, not only has extraordinary skills and knowledge, but also makes Shisu amazing. Even the Grand Master who was following him admitted frankly that he was now following this Principal Wu and learning puppetry.
There is no need to explain the benefits of puppetry, Shisu saw that those four or five-year-old children were fiddling with mechanical parts in the classroom, she was originally discouraged, and she couldn't help but have hope in her heart.
Shisu Bingxue is smart, and the clothes and jewelry refined by Ding Yi were given to her by Luo Yan, but Zisu still saw the clues from some places. Know, the real origin of these clothes and jewelry.
Ding Yi is an all-round master who is awe-inspiring. However, after contact, Ding Yi's childishness and some unbridled whimsy made people discover that this peerless master is actually a big boy with flesh and blood and heavy feelings.
Meng Chan is Ding Yi's most solid supporter, and at the same time, he is also Zisu's best friend in Lethe City. This intellectual little beauty, only when she mentions her Wu Tiange, will she fall into obsession. Many stories about Wu Tian were told to Zisu by Meng Chan.
Zi Su has a beautiful appearance, as soon as she came to the school, she sat on the throne of the school flower, coupled with Ding Yi's clothes and jewelry specially customized for her, which made this big beauty not like a mortal.
Under the deliberate arrangement of Ding Yi and Meng Chan, the third fantasy disc released by Lechuan City is based on Zi Su as the character prototype. In this magic disc, there are also songs originally sung by Shiso.
As soon as the "White Fox", which tells the story of the love of the demons, was launched, the theme song sung by Zisu became an enduring famous song in Lechuan City.
Because of this incident, Lian Fusheng also came to fight with Ding Yi again. The two were outside Lethe City, and the fight was dark. However, as soon as the old Zen master took the shiso dressed as a 'white fox', he showed up, and the anger of the practice revival disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the spirit of Shisu, they have improved a lot, and Lian Fusheng finally forgave Ding Yi. Ding Yi also made a promise to Lian Fusheng that he would never spread the phantom disc of "White Fox". I will no longer rashly use the image of perilla in the production of magic discs.
Lian Fusheng, although he shouted fiercely, he actually loved this work very much. He didn't really want to fight with Ding Yi, he just didn't want his beloved disciple to show his face.
Shiso is also known as the White Fox Fairy by the citizens of Lechuan City because of this phantom disk.
There is no doubt that the master and apprentice of the resurrection have a good impression of Lethe City. Their friendship with Ding Yi and the old Zen master is also very good. But it is not easy to make Lian Fusheng change his court. Although Ding Yi put a lot of thought into their master and apprentice, but Lian Fusheng, the archdeacon of the Shennian Palace, did not change his mind because of Ding Yi's efforts.
In the end, Ding Yi could only beg for a resurrection, and when Ding Yi was not in Lethe City, as the guardian of Lethe City, he helped Lethe City survive the possible invasion of foreign forces.
The identity of the old Zen master is a little embarrassing, and he, a paper tiger, is afraid that he will not be able to scare those stupid monks. When Ding Yi was there, it was okay to say. He and the old Zen master, the two complement each other perfectly, which can be described as seamless, making people unable to understand his depth. But alone, although no one can keep the old Zen master, the old Zen master can't give the other party any harm.
The old Zen master broke up with Ding Yi this time and was ready to travel to the underground world. Ding Yi made a video camera and asked the old Zen master to take pictures of some landscape characters in the underground world, and go back to everyone to do research. At the same time, the old Zen master was also preparing to go back to Camp 42 and have a small gathering with the Golden Horn.
Ding Yi delayed until this time, and the main reason was because the books in the library had not been corrected.
It took a lot of effort to correct the errors in the books and at the same time reorganize and publish these books. Although Ding Yi has read more than 10,000 volumes, one glance and ten lines, these books are not story books, they involve a lot of naturalism, magic, Danfang, tricks and so on. To be honest, even if Ding Yi completed the job in a hurry, he still felt that there was still room for improvement in many places.
He had stayed in Lethe City long enough, and the time to go to the Shenshui Palace could not be delayed any longer.
and Tu Mou and their high-level officials explained one by one, and comforted Xiao Meng Chan a few words. The old Zen master activated his supernatural powers, and a ball of spiritual power enveloped everyone, and in an instant, several people had disappeared in front of everyone.
