Stepping on the West Mountain again, this time Ding Yi was more embarrassed, because he was carried by a rose.

Although the mountain is not high, it is covered with ice and snow, and the mountain road is steep and slippery, and there is still a certain risk for children like Ding Yi to hike up the mountain in this weather.

Zong Xiao's small pavilion at the top of the mountain is reviewing the game he played with Wang Jiansheng a few years ago, and in the end he lost by three and a half eyes. Zong Xiao said secretly: He is worthy of being a disciple of the winger master, and the south and north are indeed worthy of his reputation, and he still underestimates this southeast figure.

Mu Haoran personally led Ding Yi to the small pavilion on the top of the mountain. Zong Xiao didn't pay attention to Ding Yi, and was still studying this game of chess with Wang Jiansheng alone.

Ding Yi knew that Zong Xiao was a little unhappy that he rashly accepted so many victims. This is obviously an attitude of not approving of one's own behavior.

This is a battle of ideas, and Ding Yi also knows that it will be difficult for him to convince Zong Xiao no matter what. But this is his insistence, even if Zong Xiao still refuses to forgive him in the end, he still has to insist.

The temperature on the top of the mountain was very low, the mountain wind was cold, and Ding Yi stood still outside the pavilion. In fact, his legs were almost frozen, and the mountain wind swept the snow powder, and a thin layer fell on his body. He is still enduring the discomfort and trying to persevere. Rose was by his side and accompanied him to suffer from the cold, but she was a cultivator, and her situation was obviously much better than Ding Yi's.

After about half an hour, the black and white chess pieces turned into two streams of water and returned to their own chess jars. Mu Haoran lit the red clay tea stove and brewed a cup of fragrant tea. Zong Xiao took it and took a sip, which allowed Ding Yi and Rose outside the pavilion to enter the pavilion.

Ding Yi is a young man who is extremely optimistic about Zongxiao, the so-called deep love and responsibility. can elevate Ding Yi to the same status as Mu Haoran, it is conceivable that Zong Xiao's expectations for Ding Yi are also quite large.

But what Ding Yi is doing now is obviously something that Zong Xiao can't recognize.

'The benevolence of a woman' This is Zong Xiao's evaluation of Ding Yi.

As soon as the bones are dry and the bones are dry, the means and the heart are particularly important, and it is obvious that Ding Yi's approach makes Zong Xiao extremely dissatisfied.

"Do you know where you are wrong?" asked Zong Xiao sharply.

Ding Yi knelt in front of Zong Xiao, his small body was very straight.

"Uncle Zong, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong. "The stubborn teenager didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.

"I know what Uncle Zong means, I feel that I have some woman's kindness, and I have taken on a huge burden for myself, these old, weak, sick and disabled people may be a burden in the eyes of Uncle Zong, and they are useless people, and millions of villagers outside the city can replace these people at any time. ”

"However, I have different opinions with Uncle Zong, these civilians are all selected by the major families and chambers of commerce, many of them are already very old, and they have no skills, some teenagers are not even old enough to study, but these people are my neighbors in Jiyun City, many of them are even my classmates, and they drove them out of the city and left them to fend for themselves. I can't accept this, besides, the cold weather expelled these people from the city, most of them have no skills to live in the wilderness, and I can't bear to face the cruel wilderness and those savage villagers who have almost zero chance of surviving. ”

"From another point of view, these 80,000 or 90,000 civilians, including 20,000 or 30,000 teenagers and children, I rescued them at this time, and after they grow up in four or five years or even a little longer, they will be the only subordinates of my center, I only pay a little gold yuan, what I gain is their future, and I can teach them to shape them into the professionals I want.

Those old, weak, sick and disabled, they are not completely lost labor, they are not craftsmen, but many people also have rich experience in production and life, and some people also have some great talents, I rescued them, so that they were saved from hunger and cold, and from death, they are all grateful, and I believe that they will work hard to repay me for everything I have done for them. I don't even doubt that their care, hard work, and industriousness far surpass those of the chosen craftsmen, because they know how they got what they are doing. ”

"Those who are physically disabled, in fact, are not very many, some can return to normal through treatment, as for the physically disabled, their requirements are just three meals a day, and they are not limbs, many of them can also work in special positions, in short, Xintiandi does not raise idlers, they are all employees who want to create wealth for Xintiandi, but Xintiandi is a start-up, and there is a big gap in funds, so I hope Uncle Zong can continue to support Xintiandi......"

Zong Xiao was silent and silent.

Ding Yi glanced at Rose beside him, and Rose hurriedly took out a stack of sketches from the backpack he was carrying.

"Uncle Zong, I know that with the unicorn puppet alone, you will not be able to continue to support my plan. So I came up with a new type of puppet, hoping to get into my uncle's eyes. ”

"This puppet I developed, I call it a car puppet, I have taken a ride, I have been inspired, I know that in the capital and some big cities, there are some tools for cultivating the true to travel, whether it is the imperial sword, or the imperial object, in fact, these are only special items for the cultivator.

But after all, there are still many mortals in this world, and there are actually a lot of inconveniences in hitchhiking, just the smell of SF horses, in fact, to be honest, is not so good, and there are quite a lot of requirements for raising SF horses.

And the car puppet I developed is different, first of all, in terms of speed, this kind of car puppet can completely crush the SF horse, there is no doubt about it. Secondly, we can try to meet the requirements at all levels in terms of safety and comfort. Moreover, the driving operation is simple, and it can overcome all kinds of inconveniences caused by some environments, and it can be moderately modified according to the requirements of customers, which can be said to have broad prospects. More than 3,000 cities in the empire will be our market, taking Jiyun City as an example, my rough estimate is that this kind of car puppet can have a market of at least 500 units, and it is a great number to promote it to the whole country......"

"Plaything is demoralized!" Zong Xiao coldly interrupted Ding Yi's speech and walked away.

Ding Yi was stunned for a while, he racked his brains these days to come up with such a new type of puppet, thinking that with this new type of puppet machinery, he could get the support of Zong Xiao, where did he know that he was actually guilty of preconceived mistakes again.

He considered the development and feasibility of this thing with the mind of a mortal, but he didn't know that the cultivators were not interested in the kind of products he had developed at all. Cultivators, especially those above the spirit level, most of them have the ability to control the sky, and who would be interested in this quasi-spirit-level car puppet. Besides, the chariots of various families, the chariots that Dahao rides in are all rare and exotic beasts, the rarer they are, the more sought after, this is a symbol of status, Ding Yi's concept and the thinking of cultivators can be said to be completely incompatible.

Mu Haoran looked at Ding Yi, who was still stunned, and said, "Xiao Yi, do you know how much the Grandmaster expects from you? With your intelligence, you won't fail to see that the Grandmaster has the intention of cultivating you." But you didn't understand the hard work of the grandmaster, the grandmaster is not looking for a person who can make money, there are so many businessmen who can make money in this world, if you just can make money, the grandmaster may not let you meet. Think about it. ”

"Brother Mu, the Grandmaster means nothing more than asking me to abandon those helpless civilians, but Brother Mu, you are also a person who lives in this city, can you watch your neighbors, your classmates, and acquaintances who were smiling and greeting a few days ago, just drive them into the wild without hesitation? Even if you raise a kitten and a puppy, you will have feelings after a long time, are these living people not as good as a kitten and puppy?"

Mu Haoran was speechless, sighed, and turned to leave.

The mountain wind was cold, and what was even colder was this person's heart, Ding Yi was stunned for a while and stood up. Rose looked at the teenager in front of her and was a little unbearable, but her good professionalism kept her sober and rational.

"Ding Shao, what should we do now?"

Ding Yi was excited and said softly, "Let's go." ”

Looking at the Mu family complex in Qiongshan Yuyu, Ding Yi sighed secretly.

It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, but with the help of a spiritual-level cultivator like Rose, it is very fast to go down, but on the way, I happened to meet Mu Yanran and his party who had returned from hunting.

The Qingyun Sect had a very good third-level hunting ground, and of course it was impossible for cultivators like Lan Xuan and Hua Yingjun to hunt ordinary beasts such as tigers, leopards, and jackals, because these were not challenging for them, and even Mu Yanran, the weakest among them, could easily hunt these beasts that were fierce and abnormal in the eyes of mortals.

They hunted demonic creatures, beasts with magical powers, to put it bluntly. The hunting grounds of the empire also have certain judging criteria, and the most common creatures such as jackals, tigers and leopards can only be counted as primary hunting grounds, such as splitting wind rabbits, poison dart frogs, and dire wolves, such settlements are second-level hunting grounds, and the settlements composed of earth dragons, lightning leopards, saber-toothed tigers, and ironclad dragons can be called third-level hunting grounds.

Every year, the Qingyun Sect will cultivate many strong beasts to enrich the hunting ground, and at the same time, the hunting ground is also a place to sharpen the hearts of disciples.

Mu Yanran is completely a one-size-fits-all existence, and she is only happy that the hunting suit she wears can have an occasion to participate. After killing those fierce beasts, put on a few poses and let people record them with photo beads.

But apparently everyone had a good time in the hunting ground these days, they enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Qingyun faction, and Nongka spent a few pleasant days with them.

To be honest, Ding Yi is still a little resistant to these heavenly pride, the tragedy of Jiyun City happened right in front of their eyes, they are all cultivators with great ability, but they spend their time playing and playing, and they don't care about the deaths and injuries of those civilians. However, this group of people is very good to Ding Yi, even the little witch Hua Yingzi still maintains Ding Yi, like a big sister.

Ding Yi met with this group of returning young cultivators in a complicated mood, Lan Xuan wrapped her arms around Ding Yi's neck and hugged him: "Xiao Yi, it's a pity that I didn't take you to the hunting ground this time, you didn't see my brother's demeanor, wearing clouded leopards, iron pigs, such a powerful beast brother, I single-handedly killed seven ...... alone."

Jian Shubao interjected: "Yes, Xiao Yi didn't see you being chased to the tree by a hugging bear and almost peeing your pants." The crowd burst into laughter.

Mu Yanran frowned: "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense. Jian Shubao immediately scratched his head and pretended to be a decent gentleman again.

Mu Yanran took out the photo beads and shook them in front of Ding Yi's eyes and said, "Xiao Yi, we have taken a lot of interesting images this time, let's go and see them with us." ”

Ding Yi said: "No, in fact, I came to find the grandmaster this time, and I have already met......

Lan Xuan would let him go, tie his neck, and take him back to the way up the mountain without saying a word. Ding Yi had no choice but to follow them and returned to Xishan Villa.

"By the way, Xiao Yi, what is the matter with you looking for the Grandmaster?" Lan Xuan couldn't help but ask on the road.

To tell the truth, Zong Xiao's judgment on the double pride of Jiyun City once made these young cultivators a little unhappy, Mu Haoran's excellence was acceptable to them, and Xiao Ding Yi was promoted to the extent that he surpassed them, which made them a little surprised. However, as a great grandmaster from the capital, Zong Xiao's vision and insight made them have nothing to say, and they had to re-examine this child on the periphery of their circle.

The rose took Ding Yi up the mountain, basically using the light body kung fu of the longitudinal cloud ladder honestly. Lan Xuan and the others each use different body techniques, what are the steady steps, the spring and the ground rising technique, and the meteor catching the moon...... Even Mu Yanran will have a kind of supreme mystic skill that gives birth to lotus step by step.

Ding Yi has long been indifferent to this class of talents in the cultivation realm, so what if he is envious, jealous and hateful?

was caught by Lan Xuan at the moment, and had to honestly tell the story of his coming here.

"What? You took in eighty or ninety thousand mortals?" Hua Yingzi was taken aback, she was still a little concerned about Ding Yi's little brother.

"Xiao Yi, are you crazy? What's the use of you taking in these old, weak, sick and disabled? Those are all waste-like existences, and letting them live in this world is a waste of food! How can such a smart child of yours do such a stupid thing?"

It seems that the thinking of cultivators and ordinary mortals is really different, and Ding Yi is not good at refuting them, so he can only take out the set of rhetoric that lobbied Zong Xiao at the beginning and repeat it again.

At this time, everyone had already entered the villa again, and Lan Xuan put Ding Yi on the ground.

"Xiao Yi, are you short of money now?" asked Mu Yanran.

"Hmm!" Ding Yi honestly admitted.

Mu Yanran looked at the little boy in front of her, her big eyes flickered a few times, and she seemed to have made a decision.

"Xiaoyi, you tell my sister, how much money are you missing now?"

Ding Yi looked at the beautiful and incomprehensible Qianying in front of him and thought for a moment and said, "At least 100,000 gold yuan is missing." ”

"Xiao Yi, you are waiting here. Mu Yanran said suddenly, turned around and walked indoors. In the middle of the night, she was holding a beautiful box in her hand, and a handmaid was carrying a large cage behind her.

Mu Yanran put the box on the table and beckoned to Ding Yi.

"Xiao Yi, here are two hundred gold dollars, these are some valuable jewelry and jade, to say the least, they are worth twenty or thirty thousand gold dollars, and those are some rare treasures of cultivation items, it is estimated that there are also fifty or sixty thousand gold dollars, Xiao Yi, you can do good deeds." ”

Ding Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Sister Mu, these are your private treasures, I don't want them, I will solve the problem of money myself......"

Mu Yanran smiled and said: "You have all asked to come here, it can be seen that such a large sum of money, obviously you can't raise it, in fact, this is also where I grew up, and I can't bear to see the ordinary people on this side suffer, these should be my heart." ”

Ding Yi was speechless, staring at Mu Yanran, at this moment, this beautiful woman seemed to exude a circle of Buddha light, like a goddess in a fantasy disc, which made Ding Yi dizzy.
