"When each government is established, the sect must give a representative treasure as the treasure of the town. If this treasure is lost, then it is equivalent to losing the qualification of this government to exist, unless, in the contemporary era, The master of the palace can find the lost treasure of the town within five years."
"When the five-year period is up, if the treasure of the town house is still not recovered, the house title will be revoked and a new house will be established There are many similar sect rules. The reason why the founder of the sect established these rules is to let Everyone in the sect must maintain a sense of urgency and crisis at all times, and must never be careless."
Uncle Hong said slowly: "Three and a half years ago, I was still the most powerful master among the thirty-six palaces. He was already at the level of the Yellow Blood Ten Forges before he was forty years old. As long as he was promoted to the Green Blood Martial King, Then you can go one step further and become the tenth elder of the sect."
"However, at the critical juncture of the blood transformation, a certain female disciple in the mansion used some kind of deception technique to bewitch the master's only son. Using the master's trust in him, she actually took the treasure of subjugation and some other things. The treasures were swept away, and he and the woman escaped from the sect and disappeared."
"When the master who was in retreat heard about this, his blood transformation immediately failed and he went crazy. His cultivation level plummeted by more than half, and his whole person became demented, which is the state you just saw."
Hearing this, Luo Chong interrupted: "But I heard Master Yuntian say that Master only knows how to drown his sorrows with wine and go about his days. What's going on?"
""This is exactly the reason why the lady left the master. "
Hong Bo replied: "If it is said that the master really injured his brain because of his obsession, and has become unconscious and completely turned into a madman, it is impossible for the lady to abandon him and ignore him. But the problem is that the master does not come from time to time. He will still wake up, but when he wakes up, he only knows how to drink to numb himself, and he will not respond to anything you say to him. It is confusing and annoying at the same time. Not to mention Madam, even if I look at this His old servants who grew up are sometimes so angry with him that they are heartbroken.¡±
"oh?"
Luo Chong also felt a little strange and said in a low voice: "That's not true. As a warrior, no matter what kind of setbacks and blows we face, we will never become like this. There must be something hidden in this."
¡°That¡¯s what I thought at the beginning.¡±
Hong Bo shook his head and sighed: "My wife even helped the master to arrest the traitor everywhere, and wanted to help him find the treasure of the town within five years. However, he did not expect that after the master woke up, he only spoke to his wife once. , he actually scolded her Well, in short, the scolding was very unpleasant, very unpleasant."
Luo Chong thought that there was something wrong here, so he asked: "Master's son should also be the son of Lord Yuntian, right?"
"no."
Hongbo shook his head and replied: "The son was born to the master's late wife, and the lady is the master's second wife."
"it is as expected."
Luo Chong nodded, feeling that the hidden meaning was extremely complicated and could not be explained in a few words.
In short, due to the betrayal of his own son, Lord Huntian's blood transformation failed and he became possessed. Not only did his cultivation level plummet, but he also didn't have much time to stay sane.
"However, even if he wakes up, he is still unwilling to put in the effort to arrest his son. There may be more to this than just the protection of his father's love.
??Furthermore, if you want to keep the Huntian Mansion, you must find the treasure of the town. Otherwise, at most a year and a half later, the name of the mansion will be revoked and a new mansion will be built.
This is a sect rule, no one can violate it!
After thinking about this, Luo Chong asked again: "It seems that Master has obviously chosen to give up and does not want to find the treasure of the town. However, his direct disciples, in just three and a half years, have They all betrayed and ran away, isn¡¯t this too heartless?¡±
"It was the master who drove them away."
Hong Bo explained: "Of course there are loyal disciples who never leave, but after the master woke up at a certain time, he wounded several of them in succession. The disciples became disheartened and left the Huntian Mansion one after another. Now there are only It¡¯s just a dozen disciples who protect the mansion.¡±
Having said this, he looked at Luo Chong and smiled strangely: "I can understand that the master does this because he doesn't want to delay the future of his disciples, but you don't have to worry about being hurt by him."
"I see."
Luo Chong laughed at himself: "I am a latecomer. Master has no feelings for me. He doesn't bother to care about what I want to do. Is that so?"
"Exactly."
Hongbo replied: "So, for the time being, no one can shake your identity as the so-called direct disciple, but it is hard to say what you will become in a year and a half."
"It's okay, I think it's quite fun."
Luo Chong grinned and said: "Suppose, if I am determined to find the master's son and retrieve the treasure of the town, then when the master wakes up one day, he may kill me for this. It¡¯s possible, right?¡±
"There is a 10% chance that the master will do this."
Hongbo spoke bluntly: "Although his cultivation level has plummeted, he is still in the realm of yellow blood. If he wants to kill your self-proclaimed disciple, he can do it with just a breath."
¡°Forget it!¡±
Luo Chong waved his hand and made a decisive decision: "Since it is the master's wish, then we don't want that bullshit treasure of the mansion. I also want to know, is there any other way to keep the title of Huntian Mansion?"
"have!"
Hong Bo¡¯s tone became more serious: ¡°But you can¡¯t do it!¡±
"Old man, it doesn't matter whether I can do it or not. You can't scare people to death just by talking about it, right?"
Luo Chong said with a smile: "Think about it, if I keep my title and Master doesn't like to take care of things, then I have the final say in Huntian Mansion. With such temptation, even if I can't eat it, I will think about it before going to bed at night." It¡¯s okay to have some fun.¡±
"Dream on you."
Uncle Hong poured a basin of cold water on him: "Even if a miracle occurs and the palace name is preserved, the sect will appoint another Huang-blooded Wuhou to become the new head of the Huntian Palace. Your plan to be the regent will not work at all. Not only will it come to naught, but it will also be like making a wedding dress for others.¡±
"no problem, no problem."
Luo Chong was determined not to be hit, and waved his hand and said: "Even if a new Palace Master comes over, if I can create such a miracle, I will be valued by the sect, and maybe I can be promoted to a higher status. Anyway, in the What others see as a disaster, I feel is a rare opportunity."
"well!"
Hong Bo sighed: "You are either a fool, a madman, or both."
A disciple who had just joined the sect, and was just a little ant trained in the fourth level of red blood, actually tried to hold up one of the thirty-six pillars of the Luotian Holy Sect.
What is this called?
¡° Uncle Hong didn¡¯t even know how to describe him. He guessed that when he was promoted to the fourth level of the Red Blood Forging, he must have gone crazy once and burned out his brain
"Old man, please don't always shake your head and sigh, okay?"
Luo Chong asked: "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What bet?"
Uncle Hong took out his long pipe and tobacco bag from his waist and asked casually.
Luo Chong came over and said mysteriously: "I bet I can eat six buns tonight."
Uncle Hong¡¯s hand movements paused slightly, wishing he could knock this bastard unconscious with his pipe.
You eat steamed buns and it¡¯s none of my business, this guy is really irritating!
For Luo Chong, Hong Bo had a deeper understanding.
But to be honest, how to solve today¡¯s lunch and dinner is still a problem for Luo Chong and Han Niang.
The huge Huntian Mansion was empty, and there was not even a servant to cook. No matter how thick-skinned Luo Chong was, he was too embarrassed to go to Hong Bo's place to get food.
At such an old age, you still have to cook, serve the living dead Lord Huntian, and clean the courtyard
It¡¯s really not easy for this old man.
So, Luo Chong asked: "Uncle Hong, can I pay for some servants to come here?"
"Can."
Uncle Hong replied: "It's up to you to do whatever you want to do in these one and a half years."
"Okay, I'll go find someone."
Luo Chong just did what he said, stood up and left: "Old man, at least during this period of time, I can still let you enjoy happiness, right?"
While shouting, he ran out of the hall, climbed up the mountain, and rushed out of the mansion gate with Ah Huang.
In the hall, only Hongbo and Han Niang were left. There was a moment of silence. Hongbo lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and then exhaled the smoke and asked: "My child, do you think he is in a normal mind?"
The fierce woman sat there, holding the ax like a stiff statue. She shook her head gently: "Grandpa, don't ask me, I'm not normal either."
"Okay, I understand."
Uncle Hong took a deep breath of cigarette and narrowed his cloudy old eyes.
¡¡
Luo Chong knows how to be lazy. It is impossible to go out and hire people personally. The Luotian Plain outside is endless. If you want to find a town, you have to travel more than three hundred miles. Where can you find a servant?
So, ?He then rode to the reception desk of the Internal Affairs Hall, found a certain deacon, paid several hundred taels of gold tickets in the name of the Huntian Mansion, and asked the Internal Affairs Hall to dispatch at least thirty servants to the Huntian Mansion for a period of one and a half years.
It is right to approach the Internal Affairs Hall for this kind of matter. Naturally, there will be low-level disciples below to handle this kind of matter. The entire Luotian Holy Sect is equivalent to a small country. In addition to hundreds of thousands of disciples, it must also support a large number of ordinary people doing the most basic work.
After all, we can¡¯t expect the disciples to pick vegetables and cook in the kitchen. In that case, they will no longer have time to practice martial arts.
"Besides, there are specialties in martial arts, so it's strange that the food they make is delicious if they force the disciples who are dedicated to martial arts to guard the stove and cook. They are filled with resentment.
In the afternoon, more than a dozen carriages pulling more than thirty servants, both male and female, as well as grain, vegetables, meat, etc., lined up to enter the courtyard of the Huntian Mansion.
"These servants don't care what the state of the Huntian Mansion is. Even if they talk a few words in private, as long as they are not short of wages, they will do their jobs conscientiously.
Being able to work in the Luotian Holy Sect is not only a good salary, but also an honor. Even your parents and relatives in your hometown can benefit from it. No one in the village or town dares to bully you.
Therefore, they cherish this kind of job opportunity very much, and no one will be lazy and slippery. Before it got dark, the large courtyard chosen by Luo Chong and Han Niang in the mansion was cleaned up.
The accommodation is settled, just waiting to eat steamed buns later
