Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 670
People are like iron, the more you practice, the harder it becomes.

The boundless wasteland is like a furnace that repeatedly smelts the people on the ground, and finally turns women into men and men into iron men.

January passed.

During lunch, Lu Tong sat on the head of the field, surrounded by a group of expressionless men and women.

After going through hardships, these people have to accept that nothing can be trusted in this place, not the sky, the earth, and the boss.

The only one you can rely on is yourself.

"Old Lu."

Shu Congbo stopped his bowls and chopsticks, shouted, and asked, "If we want to collect [-] mu, do we have to go forward with most of the people, otherwise the fields will be desolate the next day?"

"Ah."

Lu Tong responded.

If you are reliable, you don't have to bow to others. Recently, there are fewer and fewer people calling you "Tou Lu", and most of them start calling them "Old Lu".

Lu Tong was very pleased.

The real boss is not to make people follow behind, but to make people obey their will and unknowingly walk in the direction he points.

If everyone in the Shenxuan is like this, then they can get away now.

Shu Congbo turned his head to look at the few people in the team.

"There are a few people who have been holding back. We can't let them drag us down. The same goes for other teams. You should discuss a solution."

"You go."

Lu Tong didn't stop chopsticks.

Tens of thousands of people opened the fields together, and the land has changed.

People advance inch by inch, and barrenness retreats inch by inch.

However, there are many "smart people" hidden in it, who are usually lazy at work, and wait until the fields will no longer be deserted before making great efforts, borrowing the strength of others to obtain the "Non-Human, Not Demon Classic".

Some people take advantage and others suffer. This trend cannot last long.

He waited for three months, did not wait for Ju Mi's countermeasure, and gradually guessed Ju Mi's plan.

Know people when they happen.

This matter seems simple, but it is very tricky. One mistake will lose the hearts of the people. The "[-]th" team has no hearts, but other teams are not like this.

Take advantage of this opportunity to find out the real boss.

Shu Congbo was not too surprised. He was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "You don't care, and I don't care. From tomorrow onwards, I will open the field in the morning and practice boxing in the afternoon."

"As you please."

Lu Tong ate the rest of the meal in a few mouthfuls, drank a few cups of tea, picked up the big ax and walked into the field alone.

More than half a month later.

In the afternoon, a group of three people walked to the field and shouted: "Old Lu."

"Bah!"

Lu Tong dropped his axe, looked back at the black spots on the field, exhaled, let go of the ax and walked towards the field.

"what's up?"

"At midnight tonight, all the 'Centurions' are meeting in the Tea Shed."

"I am not a centurion."

"Aren't you their leader?"

"No."

Lu Tong turned and returned to the field, and a loud shout sounded from behind, "Which of you is the leader here?"

No one responded, but most of them looked at Lu Tong.

The man shouted again: "It doesn't matter, you send someone over to the teahouse tonight to discuss important matters, if you don't come, you will bear the consequences!"

The three of them walked to the next team.

the next day.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lu Tong walked to the field. At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, and there were already many busy figures in the field.

Shu Congbo sat at the head of the field and said, "They want to change people."

"what?"

"Out of a hundred teams, ten 'weak teams' are placed on the outermost edge, and all those who are lagging behind are thrown in, so as not to drag everyone down."

"Good."

"It will be changed every three months, and the drama doctor has agreed."

"Who mentioned it?"

"Zhu Ling, Sun Yiyuan, Wan Rong."

He nodded, walked towards the field, stopped after taking a step, and said: "The world is chaotic, and it is difficult to live alone. This is your last chance."

Shu Congbo sat in the dark, speechless.

"Starting tomorrow, I will start to repair the claw technique."

Lutondo said something, and went into the field with his ax in hand.

That night, after Lu Tong finished plowing the fields, he did not practice "Li Xianquan" after returning to his residence. Instead, he clenched his hands loosely and began to practice a set of claw movements like eagles and tigers.

"Old Lu, why did you change suddenly?"

For more than a year, many people have formed the habit of practicing boxing with Lu Tong every day.

Lu Tong ignored it and continued to use the claw technique that he had only recently thought of.

The claw method uses both hands and feet, based on "Four-legged Fighting Method", which also incorporates claw methods such as tiger claws and crampons.

Shu Congbo stood behind and studied.

Gradually more people gathered around, some of them were far-sighted, and said in a low voice: "Old Lu has hidden deep enough, and the next method happens to be 'Four-clawed Black Eagle'."

"This guy was the first to get the method, so he must have gained a lot of benefits."

"Will Lao Lu hide his tricks?"

"Never mind him, learn what you can learn first."

Within two days, all kinds of rumors quickly spread to the ears of every "centurion", and the people who learned the claw technique together quickly broke through hundreds and thousands...

……

In the middle of the night, Ju Mi was standing on a mound that was ten feet high, a little three feet short of the top of the mound.

A red cloud flowed by.

Lutong quietly appeared on the top of the mound.

Ju Mi cupped her hands and said, "Meet the King."

"what's up?"

"Liu Jixin invited a fellow Taoist to introduce him to Liangyao Zhengguo."

"Who?"

"Qin Zong, Liu Jixin, a monk of 'Gushi Mountain', also lived in seclusion here, and many of them are elites."

"Where is Lone Stone Mountain?"

Lutong had never heard of this mountain.

Ju Mi said: "It's a barren mountain, and it varies from person to person. When thousands of ghosts came out of their caves and the world changed, many people opposed it. It's a pity that people kept their words light. Afterwards, many people hid in the mountains for retreat."

In the battle between humans and ghosts back then, the sect detonated the spiritual land and introduced the evil spirit from the outer world, which caused the celestial phenomena to change drastically, and the communication between various places was cut off.

Lu Tong was also in it back then.

However, looking back now, there seems to be another deep meaning under the surface.

After the war between humans and ghosts, countries have been established in various places.

If it weren't for the changes in the world that led to the severance of contacts, it would be difficult to divide them into countries so easily.

A pile of things are all related to each other.

He thought for a while, put aside distracting thoughts, and said, "How is this person?"

"Liu Jixin said that Qin Zong was born in a family of merchants, and he was especially good at weighing up and down as well as internal and external business affairs. It is rumored that when this person became an alchemy, he needed a large amount of 'green alum', which is very rare in the market, so Qin Zong sent several servants Purchasing everywhere makes the merchants think it is profitable, five years later the market will pile up a mountain of 'green alum', Qin Zong didn't spend too much money, and easily set up a pill."

"It seems that he is a master at manipulating people's hearts."

"Major, would you like to see him?"

Lu Tong took out a piece of paper, scribbled a line of handwriting, and said, "Give it to the Diandian Master. Tell Qin Zong that you can walk around in the chamber of commerce freely within one month, and I will see him again in a month."

"Yes."

Ju Mi took the paper and said: "There is one more thing, Zhang Qiao sent someone to reply, inviting the king to go to Dengzhen country to discuss state affairs after ten years."

"ten years?"

Lu Tong was very surprised.

It is not uncommon for countries to form alliances with each other, and it is not uncommon for state leaders to visit each other. Most of them are agreed half a year or a year in advance, and at most it does not exceed three to five years. It has never been heard about ten years later.

Ju Mi said: "It is indeed ten years, the letter did not explain the reason."

Lu Tong thought for a while and asked, "Do we have contacts with Dengzhen Kingdom?"

"I heard that the magic weapon refined by the Bu family is very popular in this country. The master of the Wisdom Palace should know something about it."

"Let the master of Diandian inquire about it."

"Yes."

……

In one month, the mood in the Shenxu market changed drastically.

The population is increasing, and the method is used, and the cultivation of fields is becoming more and more stable, and some people begin to live and work in peace and contentment.

With the emergence of ten "weak teams", personnel began to flow, and the warm atmosphere that had just been born quickly dissipated, and the atmosphere became chilling, urgent, and indifferent again.

"Head."

When Lu Tong was resting after dinner, Wan Rong and Yue Nuandong walked up to him together, and Yue Nuandong said directly: "Boss Lu, many people say that you have acquired an extra set of claws, is it true?"

Lu Tong didn't answer whether it was true or not, but asked instead: "What's the matter?"

The two looked at each other, Wan Rong said: "Boss, we want to learn."

Yue Nuandong took out a pocket, which contained dozens of hundred-grained stone coins, and said, "Boss Lu, we made this together. If it's not enough for the number you mentioned, I'll go back and look for it."

Lu Tong took the pocket, weighed it, and said: "The day after tomorrow, once in the morning and once in the evening."

Yue Nuandong immediately opened his mouth, and the scar on his face also squirmed.

"Okay, boss, we promise not to spread it, where can we learn it?"

"old place."

Yue Nuandong was a little puzzled.

Wan Rong said: "Boss is going to teach everyone together?"

"Ah."

Only then did Yue Nuandong understand, and couldn't help but look at the pocket in Lu Tong's hand, glanced at it reluctantly, and said, "Boss, such a good method can't be taught in vain, if you know it..."

"Let's go back."

While Yue Nuandong was still hesitating, Wan Rong had already surrendered and said, "Boss, we're going back first."

"Ah."

That night.

Lu Tong returned to Ziqi Hall and saw Dian Si'er sitting in the hall, he couldn't help smiling and said, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Ah."

The two sat down together.

Dian Si'er looked downcast, took out a ledger, and said: "The 'iceberg' of Ji country has entered the water, and the commerce and trade are restricted, and Yanhou Island is not immune, and the business is getting worse and worse."

Lu Tong's heart sank.

The Liangyao Zhengguo is gaining momentum, and the domestic faction is thriving. Most of the reasons are due to the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce, which has earned a large amount of money to subsidize everywhere.

Otherwise, few small countries could bear the tens of thousands of blood pills consumed every day in Shenxu alone.

"What about Yohu, Shuguo, and Lianzhoushan? Didn't they respond?"

"Yes, we have played against each other a few times, and there are winners and losers. But as long as the fight starts, no matter who wins, our business will be damaged."

"As for the Wanyao Chamber of Commerce, Yanhou Island is also their territory."

"Shang Lin Kingdom is too far away."

Lu Tong sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Since we are fighting, we will earn money for the war. We will sell all our Xionghuo pills and fire kites."

"They're reserved for the big fight."

"It doesn't matter how far away, our foundation is not in the magic weapon, in the "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra", there are two life talismans, how many talisman masters are there?"

"Three batches, more than ten people in each batch."

"From tomorrow, we will send people to fetch the blood spirits every day, and start hoarding the two life talismans."

"This will delay the practice again."

"It's okay, if you win on the battlefield in the future, you can make up for it no matter how much you practice."

The two discussed for a while.

Lu Tong remembered the business tonight, and said, "Qin Zong, who was sent to the chamber of commerce a month ago, how about that person?"

"I don't understand."

"I want to see him tonight, see you together?"

"never mind."

Dian Si'er shook his head, got up and said: "I heard from the people below that Qin Zong has a lot of complaints about the chamber of commerce, so it's inconvenient for me to be here."

Lu Tong blinked, didn't force him to stay, and said, "Okay, go back and wait for me."

"Ah."

Dian Sier leaves.

Lu Tong ordered the little blue bird to summon Qin Zong.

After a cup of tea, a young man in a bright silver gown entered the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Qin Zong, a man without a country, has seen the king."

"sit."

Qin Zong sat down straight.

Lu Tong looked down.

Qin Zong, with extremely white cheeks, seemed to be brighter than the silver clothes on his body, and his movements were elegant, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.

"What is a man without a country?"

"Masterless."

Qin Zong raised his chin slightly, looking a little arrogant.

Lu Tong nodded slowly, and said: "Very good. A person without a country is his country. A person without a master is the master of his heart. It's a pity that not all people in the world are like this. Most people need the protection of the country and someone to be the master. .”

Qin Zong retracted his chin, his expression restrained.

"Liu Jixin said that the ruler of the country has great wisdom, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Lu Tong smiled, and said: "I came here specially to see you, not to listen to these obedient words that I've been tired of hearing for a long time."

Qin Zong raised his eyebrows, sat upright, and raised his chin again very naturally.

"Since the king is humbly asking for advice, I will point out a stubborn problem."

"Please."

"The Liangyao Chamber of Commerce is not the wisdom of Liangyao to rule the country. On the contrary, it is the root of all diseases in the country."

The remaining smile on Lu Tong's face froze, and his eyes sank a little.

"why?"

Qin Zong saw Lu Tong's face, but raised his chin a little more, and said, "Dare to ask the king, is Guoshang a Shang?"

"Yes."

"wrong!"

Qin Zong spoke resoundingly, and said loudly: "National merchants are not merchants, but they are just fake merchants in the name of thieves!"

Lu Tong's eyes trembled twice.

"So, all the businessmen in various countries are thieves?"

"Of course! The business of the country is not about business, but about the country. It is born superior to others. It is unfair to take and sell by force. How can it be called a business?"

Lu Tong was silent for a while, and gradually returned to nature.

"continue."

"All the benefits in the world come from the people. If the country gets one point, the people will lose [-]%. If the country's businessmen arbitrarily conduct all kinds of industries, the people should lose everything. If things go on like this, the hearts of the people will be weak and they will refuse to make profits. Where will the country get from?"

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "The 'profit' obtained by the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce will eventually be returned to the 'people'."

Qin Zong said nothing.

Lu Tong smiled, took out a jar of wine and threw it over, saying: "Liangyao Zhengguo is surrounded by powerful enemies on both sides, we must survive first, I set up a national merchant just to earn huge profits, in exchange for population, pills, Blood energy, food, magic weapons, etc., prepare for the big battle that will come back sooner or later."

Qin Zong curled the corner of his mouth, took a big gulp of wine, swallowed it and shook his head in silence.

Lu Tong frowned.

"Do not believe?"

"I believe in the Lord. The Lord has far-reaching considerations and is not greedy for small profits, but can the Lord control the officials of the Palace of Wisdom, the subordinates of the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce, and the tens of thousands of people who rely on the Liangyao Chamber of Commerce to monopolize all industries?"

"What do you mean?"

"With power in hand, is there anyone who does not seek personal gain?"

Qin Zong sat upright, and said slowly: "National merchants have always fattened officials first, then fattened villains, and finally fattened the king and the people. If things go on like this, the country will be poor and the people poor. I hope the king thinks twice."
