Chapter 52: Fifty Gold

After the three people of the Li tribe left, Hanyu mountain returned to its former tranquility.

Lu Heng summoned the Heavenly Thunder again and returned underground to cultivate.

The sudden epiphany made him understand the magic power: Heavenly Thunder Clouds Rain, and also made him know more about the nature of the Heavenly Thunder. So this retreat will probably take longer than usual.

Before the Wolf God Temple, Xiao Ai did most of her work except cleaning dead leaves.

With the wolf demon's two hundred years of cultivation, she doesnt require three meals a day like ordinary people.

Some vegetables were planted in several wastelands reclaimed in the back mountain, plus rice, oil and salt brought from the Shuisheng village, which were enough for the little girl's daily life.

Other than the White Ape not going to Wolf God Temple, everything in the mountain seems to be the same as usual. The biggest change seems to be the vegetation in the mountains.

In Hanyu mountain, which had withered in the middle of winter, many trees whose leaves had fallen off began to sprout, just like early spring.

A wild peach forest in the back mountain even blooms in the cold winter out of season. The refreshing aroma of peach blossoms wafts in the mountain, which can be smelled in front of wolf God Temple, which is quite far away.

Outside Hanyu mountain, in the camp of the Wind Raiders department, the newly built sword furnace ignited a raging fire.

The astonishing, scorching heat and the strange cold air crisscross in the sword furnace day and night.

In the daytime, the wind was cold and the sword stove was as cold as an abyss. When the night came, the red flame appeared from the sword stove. It was scorching everything in the air with a frighteningly high temperature. With the sword stove as the center, the plants and everything withered within a mile.

The strange environment of alternating cold and heat makes the Li tribe people living in the Wind Raiders Department camp feel a little uncomfortable. If the villagers from the Shuisheng village outside the mountain come to live here, they may not be able to stay for a quarter of an hour, and then they will run away.

However, the two priests who made efforts to forge the sword never came out after they entered the sword furnace. In order to prevent external interference, they even sealed the inside and outside of the sword furnace until the day when the sword was completed.

So Qian got bored.

After the old priest secluded himself, she was responsible for all the big and small affairs of the clan, but most of them were trivial things that bothered the young girl.

But if you want to be lazy, you can't be. You can only deal with the boring trivia in the tribe with a hard head and a helpless face.

After the heavy snow stopped, the Shuisheng village outside the mountain became much more lively.

Because the heavy snow stopped, the weather in recent days has been good, and the wind Raiders department and the Shuisheng village have resumed communication.

Two ethnic groups with different cultures and even different living habits have temporarily chosen an open place outside the mountain as a market to exchange things with each other.

The Li tribe smelted metal and iron tools, collected various prey fur, mountain Chinese herbal medicine and other things during the journey. The Shuisheng village took out its own brewed wine, fed livestock, and even villagers set up stoves to fire in the market and fried food for the Li tribe on the spot.

The market is held once every six days, which is quite lively.

Qian was very interested in the market. After all, it was fun, so she took the lead in establishing the market.

It is a pity that the fair was only been held three times, before it had to be temporarily suspended because of heavy snow again.

At this time, New Year's Eve is approaching. Even outside Hanyu mountain, which is remote and not connected with the outside world, the flavor of the new year in the village is gradually becoming stronger, not to mention those ancient cities outside the mountain.

The Thousand Needle City, which is very far away from the Hanyu mountain, is now snowy, and the thick snow has accumulated on both sides of the road outside the city, almost knee-deep.

It is extremely inconvenient to travel in such a snowy day, but there are a few pedestrians on the road. Due to a grand gathering in the Thousand Needle City today, many villagers living near the city will come to the city to buy new year goods.

In the wind and snow, the road outside the city gate was full of people. In order to resist the severe cold, the villagers are all heavily dressed, so they have some difficulty in moving.

In the temple of the God of Fire, the largest building in the city, Gong Shu Jie put down his bamboo slips and looked at his subordinates coming outside the door.

"Are you ready?" asked Gong Shu Jie.

The subordinates nodded respectfully, "They are well prepared, just wait for Master Wuzhu to give orders."

"OK," Gong Shu Jie nodded with satisfaction, looking at the heavy snow flying outside the window, he thought for a while, and asked, "How many clans have responded?"

The subordinate shook his head. "The old people of these clans didn't respond, but some young people wandered around the city. Maybe the old clans knew the news, so they sent these young people out to test."

Gong Shu Jie laughed. "They wanted to test, so let them go to test it. With the wisdom of those people, how can they understand the meaning of my actions today?"

"Although sooner or later, they will understand. But it will be too late to understand."

"If today's event is successful, my wish will be half completed... Ha ha... Let's go to the city gate."

"Today, I, Gong Shu Jie, will make the whole Thousand Needle City stare!"

Gong Shu Jie burst out laughing and was in a happy mood.

Once he hated and despised the old clans in the city and those who played politics and greedily grabbed interests, but he could not think of a response, so he could only stand by.

However, in the Hanyu mountain, he had a good talk with the Wolf God, which gave him a lot. The Wolf God's words and great righteousness made him see the road he had never imagined.

After returning, he prepared a detailed plan, carried out a detailed conception and deduction, and finally established what to do next.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Just to do those things, you need to have a beginning.

Although the name of Wuzhu is magnificent, it can't accurately convey the will to the villagers. That group of old clans will certainly obstruct him and spoil his good deeds.

But after today, the situation must be different! Villagers are stupid, but they can also be educated.

Thinking of this, Gong Shu Jie was in a happy mood, and his laughter was even more cheerful.

A quarter of an hour later, a log three feet long was erected at the South Gate of the Thousand Needle City.

A message spread rapidly among the crowd entering the city.

"Master Wuzhu said that if someone could move the logs from the south gate to the north gate, he would be rewarded with ten gold!"

Less than an hour after the news was released, it spread all over the Thousand Needle City at an unusual speed.

Because of the rally, the Thousand Needle City today was already crowded with people. Many nearby villagers came to the city to buy new year goods, which can be said to be very lively. After such a strange news spread, it immediately caused people's astonished comments.

"Ten gold? So much?"

"Just move a piece of wood. You can get ten gold? Is it fake? How can you get so much?"

"Maybe that piece of wood is very heavy and no one can move it..."

Similar arguments appeared everywhere in the city.

No matter if it was the villagers who came to buy new year's goods nearby or the original residents in the city, everyone was very surprised at the news, and some didn't believe it.

Many people even went to the south gate and found that there was a log three feet long. Although heavy, it is not impossible to move.

There are also Master Wuzhus of the Fire God Temple waiting beside the log. They constantly preach to the villagers who go in and out of the city that they can get ten gold if they remove the log. Even the reward is ready to be taken at any time.

Such a strange thing soon caused an uproar in the Thousand Needle city.

However, from morning to noon, although many villagers gathered at the south gate to see the play, none of them tried it personally.

At noon, the snow stopped, and the sun broke through the clouds and shone in the Thousand Needle City.

The news about the upgrade of the reward spread again.

Master Wuzhu exclaimed, "Now go move that piece of wood and get a reward of 50 gold!"

"Hiss... Fifty gold... Is that true..."

"Why so many? What does Master Wuzhu want to do?"

"That's right! It's strange that you can get 50 gold for moving a piece of wood."

"Master Wuzhu is really profound. It's hard to guess."

In the city, there was a lot of noise about the bounty.

In one of the quiet mansions, young people came back from outside and went straight to the old house of the family.

"Grandpa, I went to see it. Gong Shu Jie was serious. He really prepared a fifty gold reward. As long as anyone could move the wood, the person could take away the reward!"

The yelling of the young people made the old man by the fire look up slightly. He put down the parchment scroll in his hand and asked, "Is there anything unusual about that wood?"

"Nothing unusual, just ordinary wood. Any strong man can move away by himself," the young man said. "Grandpa, what kind of idea is in Gong Shu Jie's mind? Just move a piece of wood, and the reward is 50? Does he have too much money and just want to spend it?"

The old man thought for a while and shook his head. "Master Wuzhu must have deep meaning when he acts like this... Let's see how he acts in the future. Today's business is not aimless."

"Are we going to make trouble?" The young man smiled and said, "Shall I take the log away and get the fifty gold?"

The old man stared at him with a smile and scolded, "Be careful that Gong Shu Jie burns you into ashes..."

Similar questions and answers appeared several times among the old clans in the city.

However, because they could not see the profound meaning of Gong Shu Jie's actions, the old clans finally reached an agreement by tacit understanding - let's see how he plays.

The atmosphere in the city became more and more lively for the ordinary residents in the city and the villagers outside the city. Countless people went to the south of the city to see what kind of wood was worth the fifty gold reward.

On the snow covered roads in the city, there was a great deal of noise.

Above the city tower, Gong Shu Jie looked at the large crowd gathered below, smiling.

Listening to the noisy voices in the crowd and feeling the success of today's affairs, he was in a happy mood and could not help looking in the direction of Hanyu mountain.

A smiling face.

Will the Wolf God be glad to see my success today?

It's just the beginning of what happened today. It was only after the news of "Moving a wood and getting 50 gold reward" spread that he could follow up.

At that time, the old clan in the city might be able to react and understand his meaning, but it would be too late.
