Chapter 114: Deep into the Demonic Cave
The Taoist priests selected people based on their young and strong stature. Nanxing and Chengyan were between teenagers and young adults, and were not very tall.
In comparison, Ling Chen and Qing You appear to have more attractive figures.
The Taoist priests took the chosen people to another place, and Jiang Jiao and the others followed them for a long time.
Cheng Yan passed the message to everyone, "They are deliberately taking a detour. We have walked through this repeated place many times."
Jiang Jiao was a bit directionally challenged, so she didn't notice it and quietly asked, "How did you know?"
Cheng Yan explained to her, "We demons have our own unique way of identifying mountains, forests, and places with complex terrain. We usually don't get lost."
Jiang Jiao was overjoyed when she heard this, "Then it's up to you. You have to figure out the route."
Cheng Yan felt that this place was somewhat familiar. It was not until he was almost there that he realized that this place was in the same direction as the village that the grain transport team had gone to before.
If it weren't for the mountains blocking the way, the journey shouldn't be far.
Cheng Yan told others about this discovery.
Nanxing [These people are indeed in the same group. ]
Qing You [What should we do next? Should we check here first or that Zhuangzi first?]
Ling Chen: [Since you have sneaked in, just wait and see what happens. Then make plans.]
A few people arrived at the place while talking to each other.
The Taoists did not let them stay together, but separated them.
Nanxing and Chengyan were assigned to clean the Taoist temple, while Lingchen and Qingyou were assigned to the guard team.
Jiang Jiao was grouped together with several other women who had come with her. After they were all assigned, someone took them to familiarize themselves with what they were supposed to do.
Cheng Yan, this is Nanxing.
"You newcomers, come here, stand over here.
Since you are so lucky to be chosen by the Heavenly Master to serve the Heavenly Master, you must do your job well and beautifully. If I find out that any of you are cheating or playing tricks,
None of you can take the talisman water that the master distributed to you, do you understand?
This is a great opportunity to become an immortal. Although you are dull in talent, the little things that the Heavenly Master casually reveals to you are enough for you to benefit from.
Did you hear that? "
There's still a lecture going on here.
Ling Chen and Qing You.
"Hey, there are a few newcomers here, come over and take care of them."
The leader came over and took a look around. He looked at Ling Chen and Qing You. "Hey, a martial artist?"
Ling Chen paused and said, "I have learned a little. I worked as a bodyguard for a while."
The man nodded and pointed at Qing You with his chin: "What about you?"
Qing You scratched his head and smiled innocently: "My father is a hunter."
The man nodded in satisfaction, "Well, you two follow me."
Finally, here comes Jiang Jiao.
The steward stood on the steps and looked at the girls below as if he was selecting a talent show.
Pointed at a person.
"Come out, what's your name?"
The man looked at himself and felt happy. He glanced at the others with a bit of pride, then walked out shyly.
She said in a voice that could kill a fly: "My name is Lotus."
Wang Lianhua has always felt that her name is better than others and that she is not an ordinary person. In addition, she is good-looking, so young men from all over the country are willing to pursue her.
But Wang Lianhua looked down on everyone, thinking that these country bumpkins who worked in the fields for a living were not worthy of her.
But she didn't refuse directly. She enjoyed the kindness of others while pretending to be innocent and weak, making those men jealous of her.
This time she was chosen by the Heavenly Master, which might be a big change in her life. The Heavenly Master is a person who can become an immortal. If he can take her to become an immortal together.
Wang Lianhua was very happy. This person called her out specifically, and he must have discovered her beauty.
"Lotus, that's right. From now on you don't have to serve them. You just need to take care of Tianshi's daily life. Please stand aside first."
Wang Lianhua was overjoyed. She took small steps and swayed to the side. She looked at the remaining people with a smug look. She looked like a smug person.
Finally, Jiang Jiao was assigned to the kitchen.
The work in the kitchen is not tiring, just helping the chef wash vegetables and doing some handy work.
At night, someone came.
"Quick, boil some hot water. Our Miss Wang needs it." A little maid came.
A woman seemed to know her and asked, "That Miss Wang? You were following Miss Sun before, why did you change people?"
The little maid was helpless: "There are new people here. There are not enough people, so I was sent over. You don't know, Miss Wang who just went there today.
That's so good at handling things, Master Tianshi really likes it. Boil some water quickly, otherwise we will suffer if they blow the wind."
Jiang Jiao finally understood. It seemed that Wang Lianhua had adapted very quickly.
When she was free, Jiang Jiao would ask these people for news.
Like why they came here.
"Alas, you don't know, my old man was sick before, and he couldn't be cured no matter what he did. It was only after he drank the magic water of Master Tianshi that he got better.
I came here for the magic water given by the Heavenly Master. Although there is no salary here, there is food and drink. How many poor families can have enough food every day? "
For example, what kind of person is the Heavenly Master?
"There are eight junior celestial masters and one senior celestial master. The one you met before you came here is the seventh celestial master. He is also the celestial master we are mainly responsible for.
The Heavenly Master is very mysterious, and we rarely have the opportunity to see him. The Grand Heavenly Master has never shown up.
The eight Heavenly Masters are responsible for different things. For example, our master is responsible for attracting believers. "
Are there restrictions on going home here?
"Alas, I can only go home once every two or three months. And there is a special person to take me home, which is a very good treatment. Otherwise, we have to walk a long way back. The Heavenly Master is very thoughtful."
Jiang Jiao basically understood that there were people monitoring them the whole time, and they were separated, so they didn't know what each other was doing here.
In addition, they were smelting iron, hoarding food, and recruiting a large number of people. Their plot was so complete that the real purpose was revealed. If she didn't understand, she would be a fool. But what about the plague here?
It seems that the key lies in the great Taoist priest who never shows up.
At night, they gathered together quietly away from the eyes and ears.
Jiang Jiao asked directly: "How are things over there?"
Cheng Yan: "As we expected, this place is closely connected to the villa. Two managers were talking and said that the villa is short of manpower and they want to transfer people from here."
Nan Xing: "Yes, we plan to take the initiative and ask them to send us in."
Jiang Jiao: "Then you must be careful and don't expose yourself."
Ling Chen: "Nothing happened here. They just asked us to train. The people here don't know why they have to train every day."
Qing You: "As long as the people here have food and drink, they will do whatever they are told. But their training methods should be the same as those in the military camp. It seems that they are training an army."
Jiang Jiao: "That's right." Jiang Jiao told them what she had found out.
"We have to pass on a message to Si Ze. If a war breaks out or the country is in turmoil at this time, the mastermind behind the scenes who is hiding behind the scenes may be able to fish in troubled waters."
Qing You: "Let me go, I have a way to notify him, don't worry."
Jiang Jiao was about to say that she would go. Since Qing You had a way, let him do it.
