Lord of Deception

After meeting Yu Ziqing and returning to Langya Courtyard, and seeing a bunch of colleagues again, To Ye suddenly understood why he felt weird.

That Qing Ziyu's behavior was exactly the same as the way those guys in the courtyard tried to defraud money.

In the past, they used to rely on their knowledge and make lofty claims, so that the people who gave the funds could not find any faults.

In the end, a large amount of funding was given, but the project was not solved, which is normal.

After all, if it were really that easy, there wouldn't be so many people trying their best to fool you.

As for a large project that cannot be solved by the head of the hospital, it seems...it seems...few of them are actually completed.

And the gains in this process are basically by-products of the research process.

Or, to put it nicely, it can be called laying the foundation for future research.

Toye gave up thinking about whether this matter had anything to do with his old friend, and only talked about this big project and topic.

Even if what the other party said was 30% reliable, he couldn't refuse this matter.

Well, the reason is not as high-level as Xiang Qing Ziyu said.

I just don’t want to miss this topic.

Therefore, Toye went to talk to Taoist Longhu.

Taoist Longhu frowned upon hearing this.

The South China Sea, islands, and caves still belong to Qing Ziyu...

He immediately thought of the most famous island in the South China Sea. It had an excellent environment, but there was a super strong man cultivating there.

The reason why the island is famous is not because of how special the island is.

This is purely because in recent years, various forces have been racing to enclose territory in the South China Sea. Only there, the ninth level fell, and their death was without any suspense, and they were crushed one-sidedly.

When angry, there will be changes in the sky.

No one here in Daqian dared to take advantage of that island. No matter how they tried to grab territory, they would always avoid that sea area.

Anyway, the South China Sea is very big. In the narrow sense, the South China Sea is even larger than the territory of Daqian.

If the sea area south of Daqian is really called the South China Sea, then there will be no specific size.

If it were anyone else, Taoist Longhu would definitely say it was a lie without hesitation.

And he also deceived Langyayuan.

In fact, this kind of thing has never happened.

Back then, someone wanted the head of Langya Academy to contribute, but unfortunately, no one here was interested in his project.

And the people below the head of the hospital are not capable of doing it.

In the end, they also opened a big topic, which attracted the interest of the two heads of the hospital.

The final goal has not been achieved yet, and there is no hope. There are only some things that have been researched and advanced in the early stage.

And people's goals are originally this part of things.

In the final calculation, the cost was not as high as originally planned. Because I was really interested, I didn’t receive much compensation.

If it weren't for Teammate Zhu, who felt that he was using the labor of the leader of Langya Academy in vain, and couldn't help but tell it elsewhere, otherwise Langya Academy would really not know the truth.

Because they want three, the goal given is ten. In the eyes of the leaders of Langya Academy, the goal of ten is normal, challenging, and very thoughtful. Even if it fails in the end, it can be regarded as laying the foundation for future research. It is also very important. normal.

Now the topics given by Yu Ziqing are not ten, but at least fifty.

I happened to look at the information, and it seemed that it was really not just fabricated.

Taoist Longhu frowned slightly, thinking that Qing Ziyu seemed to be quite reliable, so it shouldn't be a problem.

From his understanding, if the pattern is so big, that Qing Ziyu will not deceive people, it must be true, even if it is not 100% true, it is still 50% true.

As long as there is 50%, then this matter can be done.

"There's no problem. The information is reliable and rigorous, and the people are reliable. Just go ahead.

If you need to bring anyone with you, just bring them.

If other heads of the academy are interested, you can ask their opinions yourself.

And, it’s time for you to get out and about. "

Taoist Master Longhu said it very confidently, meaning "I think that person is very reliable, and he is definitely not fooling you."

Besides, isn't it? It's a big deal for you to take a look and go out for a walk.

When he mentioned this idea of ​​going out for a walk, To Ye suddenly felt a thump in his heart. Looking at Taoist Longhu again, he didn't seem to have any special meaning.

He was silent for a moment and agreed.

I personally selected some talented and trustworthy oxen and horse coolies, and also hired another trustworthy head of the hospital.

The heads of the two courtyards, with dozens of people, headed out to the South China Sea.

On the other side, Yu Ziqing returned to the big island and sat opposite Lao Yang.

"I can definitely invite you, but I don't believe that he can withstand this kind of temptation, and there is Taoist Master Longhu as a guarantee.

But have you thought about how you will contact them when you actually come to face them? "

“Obviously, I am a hermit on this island, but as long as I have been in contact for a long time, he will definitely recognize me.

In your words, many small habits that were once inadvertent cannot be hidden all the time.

Especially when I’m immersed in research, I can’t hide it.

Knowledge is something that is completely impossible to hide.

If he recognizes him, I'm not prepared to recognize him either. Everyone just needs to know.

Moreover, I also want to learn from him some things from the past, things that I have forgotten.

Of course, the big topic you opened this time does need him. "

"Okay, okay, you can figure it out yourself." Yu Ziqing waved his hand and stopped caring about it, as long as someone came to do the work.

Lao Yang felt that at this time, even if someone knew about him, he would be able to accept it, or if he had other ideas, Yu Ziqing could only go along with it.

He always felt that on the one hand, Lao Yang wanted to hide and delay time, and on the other hand, he wanted to fish.

A few days later, Yu Ziqing went to greet To Ye and his party.

At the head of the two courtyards, there are dozens of working cows and horses, plus two guardians, and two eighth-level logistics are in control. There are already hundreds of people in total.

There was a lot of tension in the team, more than Yu Ziqing expected.

He came directly without even checking it out first. Yu Ziqing didn't know whether this was the trust brought by Taoist Longhu or the trust brought by Lao Yang.

But the one who can speak out must be Taoist Longhu.

Yu Ziqing led people into the cave.

Feeling the extremely rich spiritual energy in the cave and the divine light hanging down from the center, To Ye put his heart back into his stomach.

Just by looking at it, it's at least 40 to 50% reliable.

But just like that, To Ye and the head of the courtyard who were brought by To Ye looked at Yu Ziqing in a strange way.

“It concerns the future of everyone, even if it cannot have a decisive effect, it is at least crucial.

An elder stayed here, and several seniors were cultivating in secret, so this cave was completely given away.

They also agreed to come to study, but I hope you don't bother outside on weekdays. "

"It should be." Everyone looked solemn and immediately saluted in the air to respect the righteousness of the seniors here.

This kind of cave is impossible for any force to allow outsiders to come to.

Even if you just come here for research, you can still enjoy the benefits of this cave on weekdays.

Even without practicing Qi, you can still be nourished and consolidate your foundation.

Those who can follow are either monks who have not refined their Qi, or they are great monks, and there are big bosses nearby, but they are not afraid of the disadvantages of too much spiritual Qi.

While they were chatting here, the old sheep turned into a human form and came through the air.

"This is a senior here, surnamed Xiong. It is also this senior who feels that his energy and strength are limited, so he wants to invite you all.

In fact, I just went to Langya Academy to invite everyone. My intention was for such a big event, and I also wanted to invite the seniors from Lihuo Academy to come together and work together. "

Yu Ziqing paused for a moment before looking at To Ye and the other head of the courtyard.

Neither of them had any reaction, but the cows and horses did, but their reactions were not too important.

Moreover, they were probably not stupid cultivators. The capital of the courtyard did not speak, and they also kept their mouths shut.

Yu Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The competition between Lihuoyuan and Langyayuan is fierce now, and it should not have reached the stage of being unfair to others.

But when I hear the other person's name, I feel uncomfortable, which is normal.

After confirming that he was not too disgusted, Yu Ziqing thought about going to Lihuoyuan to bring some people over.

Or wait until they start researching, and then ask them to give you a list.

In the initial exchange, Laoyang had already started with them. Yu Ziqing listened for a while and could understand at first. Later, when he heard them talking about alchemy, Yu Ziqing became a little confused.

He didn't understand how the charm of a cave in the mountain village and turning it into a formation had anything to do with alchemy.

But looking at Lao Yang and the other three, the discussion was particularly intense, and they seemed to be confirming the first general direction to be studied.

He quietly looked at the coolies attending the meeting and found that when they heard this, they basically had the same expression as him.

He had a serious look on his face, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed thoughtful and gained something.

The professional one is still taking notes very carefully.

Yu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was not the only one who couldn't keep up with his ideas. He patted his butt and left.

He is uneducated and has no need to work as a coolie here.

As for the rest, he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

I bring my own logistics, and any materials needed are in stock. If you really don’t have them, don’t ask me.

I give you a great opportunity to be famous forever, what? You still want me to cover food, accommodation and expenses?

If you are really shameless and dare to speak, then I also dare to say that I want nothing but nothing. Whatever you want, you can figure it out yourself.

Otherwise, why would the head of the hospital be invited to go to such a long distance?

If you don’t spend Langya Academy’s funds, are you waiting to save money for Emperor Qian?

Yu Ziqing didn't care at all. Anyway, as long as To Ye's side made preliminary confirmation, Langya Institute would probably be eager to pay for the materials as soon as possible.

As long as there are results, if Langya Academy takes part of the credit, it will be enough to tell the world and open a year-long feast.

In recent years, Langya Academy has experienced many dark spots but few achievements. Doesn’t it need such big blows to rebuild its reputation?

In one month, these big guys seemed to have done nothing, but they produced a rigorous feasibility report.

There is indeed a good chance to prove this, but it is difficult and troublesome.

The first step is to capture all the charm of the entire cave sky and create a formation, which is equivalent to directly copying the cave sky.

Once the first step is successful, then slowly improve.

This is equivalent to proving that the small sun can indeed be artificially made, and now the first step of initial ignition is about to be completed.

Yu Ziqing got the report and went out quietly, taking the list given by To Ye and a list given quietly by Lao Yang.

Lao Yang's list is about whose abilities are needed, while To Ye's list not only focuses on abilities, but also on reliability.

Comparing the two phases, we have a rough range.

Yu Ziqing set foot in Dali, and his chances of poaching people from Lihuoyuan increased greatly.

Yu Ziqing politely handed the greeting card to Wen Lingyou and waited quietly.

Da Li has come more often. We all have friendship, but the friendship is just that. In comparison, Yu Ziqing definitely trusts To Ye more.

Just because Lao Yang trusted To Ye, he trusted Lao Yang.

Hearing that Lingyou was not in Lihuo Courtyard, Yu Ziqing was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

On the other side, in a small town, Wen Lingyou received the summons and raised his eyebrows.

"Jinlanshan Qing Ziyu, he has something important to discuss with us, and he also wants to invite some heads of the academy from our Lihuo Academy."

"Huh?" Wen Lingyou's guardian laughed.

Wen Lingyou thought about it. Last time, Qing Ziyu asked him to translate on the pretext of acquiring a stone slab.

I even came here in person this time, so what’s the big deal?

"You guys go on. Don't kill the demons that appear here, and don't expose them. At this stage, observation is the main thing."

After Wen Lingyou made arrangements, he was escorted by Wang Xiaohu back to Lihuoyuan.

After meeting with Yu Ziqing, Yu Ziqing directly took out the feasibility report and even set several general directions.

After Wen Lingyou read it, a light flashed in his eyes.

"This thing is..."

"The elders of Qianxiu cultivators on the big island, as well as the heads of To Ye and Shi of Langya Academy, discussed and studied together for a long time before deciding on the first edition.

This big project was just a whim of mine, so I wanted to work together, so I did it shamelessly..."

Before Yu Ziqing could finish his deceptive words, Wen Lingyou stretched out his hand to interrupt him and stared at him intently.

"Who else went to Langya Courtyard?"

"Well... the first batch consisted of only two heads of the school, plus dozens of students, and dozens of people in charge of logistics and transporting materials. After all, they were just to see if it was possible and study the feasibility. "

"I have four heads of the Lihuo Institute, three hundred students who can definitely help, plus all the resources that will be consumed by all the research institutes in the future."

Wen Lingyou stretched out a finger and added.

"The first batch!"

Yu Ziqing grinned. After seeing through that he was borrowing people from Langya Courtyard to put pressure on Lihuo Courtyard, he didn't care anymore.

He was here to dig people out... no, to recruit people.

Poaching people is a matter for later.

It would be great if there is someone who is willing to provide funds.

If they want fame, then give them fame. Yu Ziqing only wants real benefits.

Yu Ziqing reached out and flipped through it, taking out the list Lao Yang had made, and also stuffed it with another list of high-end materials that Yu Ziqing needed for himself and that Jinlan Mountain needed.

Wen Lingyou just glanced at it without looking at everything, and nodded.

"No problem, the required materials will be gathered as soon as possible."

Yu Ziqing took out a prepared list of personnel.

"This is given by the seniors of Langya Academy. We need the strength of these seniors."

"no problem."

Wen Lingyou agreed readily.

When he saw the report, he knew that Lihuoyuan had to be involved in this matter, regardless of whether there would be ideal results in the end.

No matter how great the hope of success is, after success, the practicality will be strong or not.

He wouldn't dare to gamble as long as there was any chance.

If this great reputation is really monopolized by Langya Academy, the advantages accumulated by Lihuo Academy over the years will be wiped out.

After all, Langya Academy has a deep foundation and cannot be completely suppressed in a short time.

It’s just a matter of providing people, money, and efforts. No matter how big a deal it is, 90% of the topics assigned by the heads of the institute will lay the foundation and direction for future research.

There is nothing wrong with changing places and continuing to lay the foundation for future research.

Just like they have been studying the Yin Demon in the past few years, except for killing the Yin Demon, they haven't mastered anything.

Just a few days later, Yu Ziqing successfully set off with the Lihuoyuan team.

Four courtyard heads, plus more than 200 cattle and horses, plus a large amount of various materials.

In order to prevent various situations, there is naturally no shortage of pills and the like, and there are a lot of them.

Originally, Wen Lingyou gave it directly to Yu Ziqing, with the intention of giving Yu Ziqing a chance to get some benefits. Yu Ziqing did not take it over and let the people from Lihuoyuan take it.

After all, you don’t have to use it when you get there.

The people from Lihuoyuan came to Dashima Cave Sky, and after discussing it, they started arranging the cows and horses to do the preliminary tasks.

After the discussion here, Head Shi of Langya Academy found To Ye and hesitated for a moment.

"The strength of these guys should not be underestimated. After talking with each other, they seem to be a little stronger than the rumors.

Do you want to invite two more people from the courtyard? "

"Aren't everyone else very busy?"

"Whatever you are busy with, whether you are busy or not, their affairs can be slowed down. It is more important here." Chief Shi said bluntly.

"Let's talk more..." Toye hesitated.

"What are you talking about? Haven't you seen that the people who came to Lihuoyuan are not good? Wen Lingyou's stingy attitude actually wants to take all the resources he needs. Do you dare to believe it?

You couldn't tell what he had planned, right?

I have to find someone else to help.

That fellow Taoist Xiong is indeed very knowledgeable, especially he knows a lot about ancient techniques, runes, and many other things.

But it seems that in some aspects, he did not study too deeply.

This is not too important. He has extensive knowledge, ancient and modern knowledge, and is an initiator. I don’t have any objection to him being the leader.

But you didn’t notice that the people from Lihuoyuan acted like they were going to take over our lives on the first day they arrived.

We must find out what the two heads of the college and those students are like working behind closed doors in the college every day.

Those who are talented must be given a chance to practice and recruit hundreds more people. "

Chief Shi Yuan seemed a little impatient, and he felt the pressure as soon as the people from Lihuo Yuan arrived.

To Ye glanced into the distance, where Lao Yang was communicating with the people in Lihuoyuan.

He felt that this fellow Taoist who claimed to be surnamed Xiong and had hidden evil aura in his body seemed to be his old friend.

That level of knowledge was even more exaggerated than that of his old friend.

In particular, he is very familiar with the evolution of many methods from ancient times to the present, the evolution of runes, the renewal of formations, and even many things from ancient times.

This will be very helpful for subsequent research.

Knowledge cannot be faked. This fellow Taoist Xiong is indeed the inheritance of a powerful and reclusive person from overseas. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to understand these things so well.

There are many things that Langya Academy does not have.

In addition to being more knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he did not find any more tangible evidence in such a short period of time.

It's just that feeling of intense collision of ideas when discussing together.

It was almost exactly the same as when he had a heated discussion with his old friend.

"What do you think? You can't hesitate about this matter. No matter how late it is, there may be preliminary results." Chief Shi pulled the distracted To Ye back.

"You are right, I will write a letter to the hospital."

To Ye accepted the matter and wrote a letter in his own handwriting. He did not give it to anyone else but to Yu Ziqing, and explained the matter by the way.

Anyone coming again must first ask the landlord for his opinion.

Seeing that the two sides were rolled up, Yu Ziqing happily agreed and said righteously that if someone was willing to help, how could he turn them away? He would go and deliver the letter in person.

In just ten days, according to the list, two more heads of Langya Academy, two hundred cattle and horses, and a bunch of resources were kidnapped and arrived at Dadao Cave Sky.

Ten days later, Wen Lingyou got the news and was a little shocked.

"Are they really the first batch? With the current situation in Langya Academy, how can we draw so many people?

Go and see who is free..."

"No one is idle anymore. They can't free their hands and can't stop and give up halfway." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly.

How can a person who can be the head of the hospital have someone to spare?

No matter how much Langya Courtyard and Lihuo Courtyard argue, the first stroke of the eight characters has not yet been drawn, so what?

"Hey, forget it, let's do this for the time being. Let's go and ventilate him first. When we don't have enough manpower later, we have to have someone here to make up for it.

You don't understand, this is no longer a big project issue, but a battle between the two houses.

It has been a long time since the two chambers were working on the same project at the same time.

They are just two different things. They are studying different things. It is unfair to compare them together.

This time, if the skill is inferior to others, there is really no way to explain it.

After all, the foundation of Lihuoyuan is indeed not as good as that of Langya Academy. "

Wen Lingyou sighed softly. He really wanted to have more people, but the head of the hospital was not a cabbage and could pull out a large number at any time.

This time, I pulled out four of them at once, and I still had to specialize in their counterparts. Two other projects had already been put on hold.

There are two others, which are personal research suspensions.

With the current results, this is indeed the limit and cannot be increased.

Unlike Langya Academy, several of its leaders have died in recent years.

Now I can pull out four easily.

The gap in background is clear at a glance.

On the other side, Taoist Longhu was taking Cheng Jing to have a drink.

"This is already a battle between the two houses. We cannot afford to lose. We must not be overwhelmed by the Lihuo House."

What Taoist Master Longhu said was sonorous and powerful, and there is no doubt about it.

"Yes, after all, the preliminary verification research has been completed. There is indeed hope, and the hope is great. We really need to work harder." Cheng Jing nodded and agreed with this.

As soon as Taoist Longhu heard this, he immediately softened his words.

“So, you see, we have had quite a few fallen heads over the years.

Others have recently been unable to free their hands and cannot give up the research they are doing.

Either he was unable to calm down due to the situation in the hospital.

If there is really no big problem with the head of the hospital who has been traced, should we be cautious? "

Cheng Jing put down his wine glass and looked at Taoist Longhu.

Taoist Longhu said immediately.

"I'm not telling you to show mercy. If there's really a big problem, I won't show mercy.

Some people are just involved, so it’s appropriate to show some mercy.

After all, you also know that our manpower is seriously insufficient. "

"I understand..." Cheng Jing sighed: "Those who are affected by the problems left over from history, if there is really no big problem, I will be merciful."

"I'm not interfering with your actions. Since I said I fully support you, I won't go back on my words. It's just the reality..." Taoist Longhu was a little embarrassed.

"I understand." Cheng Jing raised his glass and toasted Taoist Longhu.

If he hadn't reached the point where he had to be ruthless, he wouldn't have raised the butcher's knife.

Lihuoyuan and Langyayuan were involved, and Yu Ziqing was naturally the happiest.

Among this group of people, as long as they can poach half of the heads of the hospital, they can poach half of the oxen and horse coolies.

By the way, you can also poach the guardians, and the head of the hospital will earn a guardian for nothing.

Even if the guardian of a courtyard leader of To Ye's level is not at the ninth level, there is a great hope of advancing to the ninth level.

The competition among the guardians at the head of the courtyard is not as fierce as usual.

Most of the ascetics who have great hope of reaching the ninth level before entering Taoism, and their guardians can basically guarantee the ninth level in the end.

And most of the ascetics who can be rated as the head of the academy can reach the ninth level after entering the Taoism.

It seems that the probability is high, but in fact, being named the head of the academy is more difficult than reaching the ninth level.

Yu Ziqing only comes here occasionally to hang out, and doesn't disturb the big bosses in their work. At most, he just mixes in with the coolies and becomes familiar with them.

Follow them, make an expression of listening to the scriptures, and then listen to the bosses to arrange the detailed work.

After hanging around, Yu Ziqing understood why these oxen and horses were called oxen and horses coolies.

If they can understand the logic and relationship between the work they are asked to do and the ultimate goal, they can follow the boss's thinking.

That's not like working as a coolie.

After personally experiencing the communication between the bosses, Yu Ziqing understood what the strengths of these bosses were.

The previous sentence is at the level of linear equations, and the next sentence is at the level of linear algebra. Normal people, even if they can spend time filling in the missing parts, can follow their train of thought between two sentences.

Look at these big guys scolding their disciples, as if they want to open their heads and stuff knowledge and ideas into their heads.

In terms of professional knowledge, Lao Yang does take care of his face and emotions on weekdays, and is very gentle.

After comparing it, my mind immediately becomes peaceful.

In order to take care of these coolies, Yu Ziqing generously took out some processed cow meat to replenish their bodies, saving someone Zero Zero Seven from dying of liver disease here...

A year passed in a flash, and Lao Sheep took a rare break for half a day.

While eating and drinking tea, Lao Yang handed Yu Ziqing a jade slip.

"If you have time, ask someone."

"what?"

“This cave is indeed a natural evolution, but it has been excavated and deduced to the time of its initial birth.

The first beginning definitely did not appear naturally, it was something left by someone. "

"Can it be confirmed now? Man-made?" Yu Ziqing was a little surprised.

“I’m not sure it’s man-made, it’s just not normal.

According to my estimation, completely consuming the current cave sky and turning it into power would not be enough to brew the original seed.

So, you go ask the tiger to see if he knows anything. If he can have clues, you can speed up the process greatly.

Even if there is no correct direction, the wrong direction can be eliminated. "

"If it is true, why was it only discovered today?" After Yu Ziqing said these words, he suddenly understood.

Information is missing.

Whether it is the seed left by man at the beginning that requires a lot of consumption.

There is still some natural treasure, just like the treasure of Ji Mengshi left in the Silver Lake, it might as well be left here as a seed to evolve.

There are no records anymore, and in addition to the violence in the South China Sea in the early years, no one came to explore it.

The truth is no longer known.

The oldest person I could find who could be easily consulted at any time was naturally the Tiger.

Just eliminate the wrong direction.

Yu Ziqing did not rush to ask the tiger for advice, but first chatted with Ji Meng and his wife.

They only know that this island has existed for a long time, but the cave was discovered only this time, and they only think that the cave is very good, that's all.

Yu Ziqing went north from the South China Sea, first went to collect a large amount of fine wine and tea, plus prepared cow demon meat and giant shark meat, and came to the mountains and abyss again.

After throwing things into the hole as usual and being polite for a long time, Yu Ziqing got down to business.

He talked about the cave he discovered this time and what he was doing, and then waited quietly.

Under the cave, in the darkness, the flames were burning beef, and the evil king was floating there.

"Do you know anything?"

"Well, you are right. This little guy has always been very creative. If this thing can be done, it will be of great benefit.

If it can be successful and the price is not high, it can be widely promoted. From then on, this world will no longer be in danger of...well, being downgraded.

Even the place of Gui Xu cannot continue to weaken.

Don't tell me anything else. Do you know anything? "

The tiger listened quietly for a moment and sighed.

"Is it related to the fairy grass from the past? Is there no other possibility?"

"Hey, that's right. Such a miracle, even if it only leaves a little bit of power as a seed, it is beyond the reach of human beings. It can only evolve from heaven and earth, or it may come from fairy grass."

"It's a pity that I can't tell him about that fairy grass now. Even what I know about it has been sealed by myself."

"Well, you're somewhat useful. Okay, I'll point out a few wrong directions for him."

"Well, you can only decide whether it's right or wrong. If you are really capable, you can tell him the answer directly."

"Okay, okay, I will still take your credit? I will tell him that it was you who said it, okay?"

"With this little bit of potential, you deserve to be like this!"

The tiger sneered, ate the roasted beef, and snarled at the evil king.

As soon as the thought came to mind, he crushed a jade slip given by Yu Ziqing and passed through a pile of information to Yu Ziqing.
