Chapter 03: The Man Against the Heavens
The masters of the royal workshop served the object of their lives, but not the royal family, but the person in power who ruled the world.
That is, if the royal family is in power, then they serve the royal family, and if the minister is in power, then they serve the minister.
Therefore, those masters of the royal workshop are the standard super wall grass.
However, for these wall grasses, the people in power of the past generations have all reached a very tacit consensus together, and no one in power will put them into the nirvana list that must be properly liquidated after they take charge of the world.
The reason is very obvious, these masters of the royal workshop are all national treasures who have devoted their lives to exploring the field of strange things!
Therefore, the only requirement of those in power for them is that they are not allowed to reveal the secrets of the royal workshop for the rest of their lives, and they must be closely monitored for the rest of their lives.
Of course, the warriors who are responsible for monitoring them are also their personal bodyguards, and they are also the kind of top bodyguards who can block the sword for these masters without hesitation.
Not only that, but those masters can also be hired by other forces as guest secretaries in their free time, making money with expensive extra money, and when training apprentices, they select excellent royal apprentices for the royal workshop with good temperament and qualifications.
When these masters have earned enough extra money, they take their chosen apprentices with them and leave with them the results of their work—documents that indicate the potential of all apprentices.
According to that potential document, the person who hired the master would keep the best apprentices according to his own situation, and then give each of the remaining apprentices a salary and ask them to find another way to make a living on their own.
Most of the junior apprentices who left sadly will join various sects of the rivers and lakes, looking forward to the day when they can become the heirs of the mantle of the sect, and eventually become masters of strange things who can go down in history.
The other small number of apprentices are the bottom apprentices with the worst temperament, because they have given up on their dreams and switched to other things.
This three-tiered pyramid structure, which has been maintained for tens of thousands of years, is a stable structure that all those in power love, so whoever dares to break this structure will be very unlucky.
There have been people who have tried to destroy the structure in all dynasties, and for these people, all those in power have long had dozens of sets of methods to deal with them, but these methods are really big secrets, and only those in power are qualified to know.
The contemporary person who destroys the structure is the head of the Wudang faction, the world's first master of the world's strange things - Zhang Sanfeng!
From the first day of the establishment of the Wudang Sect, all the information about the Wudang Sect has actually been put on Yang Kuang's father's bookcase.
Zhang Sanfeng, like all the others who tried to destroy the structure, was a peerless genius who was looked down upon by the royal masters.
After being swept away, after decades of unremitting struggle and exploration, as well as the lucky adventures that he was destined to encounter, Zhang Sanfeng, a genius himself, became a real master of strange things.
Thus, after his own success, he will inevitably start a sect and recruit disciples, like all those who try to destroy the structure, and then selflessly teach all his apprentices the valuable and curious knowledge that he has discovered himself.
Of course, Zhang Sanfeng is not a fool, and the Wudang faction is definitely not a super wronged leader, although he will teach the apprentices the knowledge of strange things, but it is only some very basic knowledge, if you want to learn advanced knowledge, you must continue to struggle in the Wudang faction.
However, even simple knowledge is much better than running into the pyramid structure and betting on an uncertain tomorrow.
Therefore, in just a hundred years, the Wudang faction has cultivated millions of disciples and has become the number one faction in the world.
Zhang Sanfeng himself completed his life ideals, and Zhengtian was happy, but he also violated the bottom line of all the big and small forces in the world, making the Wudang faction the public enemy of the whole world!
If Zhang Sanfeng had been born in the era of the reign of the First Emperor, the day after the establishment of the Wudang Sect, he would have been absolutely dead, including all the disciples of the Wudang Sect, and he would definitely not be able to escape this fate.
However, fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng happened to be born in the era of the Yang family's rule, and the Wudang faction happened to be established when Yang Kuang's father was in charge of the world.
Therefore, after Yang Kuang's father found out that Zhang Sanfeng, a person who defended the sky, he just smiled, and did not use force at all.
The reason why this is the case is not that he doesn't understand the harm of Zhang Sanfeng and the Wudang faction, but that the people in power in the past dynasties, after continuous killing, have discovered that Zhang Sanfeng, a person who defends the sky, can bring great benefits to his dynasty.
The three-story pyramid structure is not so easy to break, and it can even be said to be ...... , it is impossible to break it at all!
If it weren't for the secret protection of the Yang clan, the Wudang faction would have been jointly destroyed by all the Jianghu sects led by the Demon Sect.
And Zhang Sanfeng, the peerless great master, had already returned to heaven decades ago.
The reason why Yang Kuang's father and son wanted to protect the Wudang faction and Zhang Sanfeng was because the Wudang faction had not cultivated enough disciples and had not injected enough fresh blood into the entire Yang dynasty's strange goods manufacturing industry to stimulate the great development of the entire dynasty's strange goods field.
Although the Wudang Sect robbed everyone of their apprentice resources, the Wudang Sect was just a sect after all, and it was impossible to swallow the big cake of the entire apprentice resources.
Therefore, although the leaders of all the forces cursed Zhang Sanfeng eight times almost every day, wishing that the Wudang Sect would be wiped out as soon as possible, the apprentice resources of their sect itself were still barely enough.
The leader of all the forces, what is really angry is the Wudang faction led by Zhang Sanfeng, who has broken everyone's conventional iron law - to teach all apprentices the knowledge of strange things!
The reason why Zhang Sanfeng is very homely, and he has not gone down to Wudang Mountain for decades, is completely forced to be helpless.
After he established the Wudang faction, there were warriors from other factions who came to challenge him every day, trying to kill him openly, and he left Wudang Mountain to avoid the limelight, but he had to deal with the open pursuit of a large number of warriors and the secret assassination of a large number of poisoners.
Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng simply became an old otaku who didn't go out of the mountain, and it wasn't until he broke through the ninth level of returning to the void that the situation got a little better.
However, at this time, Zhang Sanfeng has also become a real old man, and he doesn't want to set foot in the red dust anymore.
Yang Kuang's father and son are the only big guys in the whole world who don't care about Zhang Sanfeng breaking the rules.
The reason is very simple, the foundation of the Royal Strange Craft Workshop is much thicker than the Wudang Sect, which was established less than a hundred years ago, and it is completely the difference between heaven and earth.
On the contrary, the Wudang faction has cultivated a large number of low-level strange object makers for the entire Yang Dynasty, which will inevitably stimulate the development of the entire strange object industry, which is a real good thing.
Therefore, since the meat will rot in the pot after all, Yang Kuang's father and son will of course start to cut the big fat meat of the Wudang faction after the fire is ready, and have a good meal.
So, when exactly is the ...... What about when the heat is right?
