Chapter 89: Using People to Serve Things

The two returned to the cave and released all the prisoners from the stone chamber. Sima Yi found a dozen beggars under his command inside.

Fortunately, the people were still alive.

When the two came out of the cave, they found that many people were gathered outside waiting for them.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"This is the lair of the cult. When we find it, we will arrest you all again."

Er Gouzi looked at the many people waiting outside the cave and had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

The crowd fell into silence for a while. No one spoke, just quietly looking at Er Gouzi and Sima Yi.

"We want to follow the two benefactors."

Finally, a brave man stood up and said, and the others quickly agreed.

"Yes!"

"I am willing to work hard for you."

"I don't want anything as long as you take me in."

"I am willing to be a slave..."

All of a sudden, everyone spoke sincerely and didn't want anything, even if they wanted to work hard for Er Gouzi or be a slave.

"No, I don't have that much food now, I can't feed you, you should make a living on your own."

Er Gouzi still refused. There were already more than a thousand mouths at the foot of Shekou Mountain, and the stored food was barely enough to eat.

This group of people had more than one or two thousand people, what to take back to eat? The tree roots on the mountain were not enough to eat.

"We don't want you two benefactors to feed us, we can solve it ourselves, even if we eat grass, trees and soil, we just want to follow you."

The man took the lead again.

"Okay, if you like to follow, then follow."

Er Gouzi said, and he had already walked forward.

Sure enough, this group of people followed silently behind.

Except for the sound of feet stepping on the snow and a few uncontrollable coughs, no one dared to say a word.

Er Gouzi probably guessed what these people were thinking, not to eat for free, but to avoid being eaten by others.

In the current living environment, these people will still be hunted like livestock by other forces after they leave.

Now following the two masters is not for food, but for seeking shelter.

The two of them led this large group of people, and the journey was extremely spectacular.

Afterwards, Er Gouzi led people to find the little beggar who had hidden in the camp of the King of Kaoshan.

On the way back, when passing through some villages and towns, they also destroyed several countries.

Because according to the beggar who went to Shekou Mountain to report the news before, they had about ten people who broke through, but were intercepted by these forces along the way.

However, most of them were gone, and only three were found alive.

When Er Gouzi led this group of people back to Shekou Mountain in a mighty manner, Ji Cang walked by and looked at them.

"Didn't you say you were going out to save someone? Why did you come back with so many people?"

"Are you planning to expand your power and rebel to become king?"

Er Gouzi shook his head hurriedly.

"How can I have time to be a king? I am too busy to practice and farm every day."

"They took the initiative to follow me, and they couldn't be driven away."

Then he introduced Ji Cang and Sima Yi to each other.

Ji Cang looked at Sima Yi's red eyes, and his pupils shrank slightly.

He thought that this kid had a wide range of friends, even people from the cult.

"Brother Ji, do you know what blood evil is?"

On the way back, Er Gouzi and Sima Yi also communicated with each other.

But Sima Yi himself was also confused. He was also confused and couldn't remember the experience before he woke up.

Ji Cang was knowledgeable, so the two thought about asking him for advice.

Er Gouzi then gave a general account of Sima Yi's situation.

"Blood evil?"

Ji Cang looked at Sima Yi again and thought for a while.

"I only know a little bit. This should be a magic technique from the ancient times."

"Including the incomplete technique you got last time, it also belongs to this category."

"More than 10,000 years ago, when the Great Zhou Shengzu founded the country, he wiped out all the magic sects in the world and burned the magic cultivation techniques.

In order to prevent people from practicing, even the royal family did not preserve these techniques, and there is not much information left now."

"In your case, it should be a coincidence that a kind of blood evil was cultivated in your body.

But the magic technique requires quick success. While it has powerful power, it always has various defects."

"Blood evil will blind people's minds and make people cruel and bloodthirsty."

"Normal practice is all People control various kinds of skills and external objects such as magic tools. "

"The emphasis is on using me to control things, not things controlling me."

"But the demon monks often become the masters, and in the end they are controlled by skills, magic tools and other external objects. "

"The blood evil in your body is too strong, it will slowly change your mind and become cruel and bloodthirsty. "

"And as the blood evil in your body increases, there is a risk of losing control at any time. At that time, you will become a monster that only kills people. "

"At present, I don’t have a better way, but don’t continue to absorb the essence and blood. You can try to refine the blood evil in your body until you are completely controlled by it. "

"Ji Cang is indeed knowledgeable and knows a little about everything.

"Although he didn’t give a specific solution, he also pointed out the general direction and ideas.

"Thank you!"

Sima Yi bowed to Ji Cang to thank him.

"I promised to pay you an IOU. Which one do you want?"

Er Gouzi still remembered the promise he made when he left.

"No need to return it, just give me another two kilograms of chili peppers."

Ji Cang waved his hand generously and asked for only one kilogram of Chaotian Gong chili peppers.

"I gave you 10 kilograms last time. Have you eaten them all?"

Er Gouzi remembered that it seemed that it had not been long before 10 kilograms of such spicy chili peppers were eaten up. Did he eat them as a meal?

The chili water he made with only a few kilograms of chili peppers at least knocked down several thousand people.

"I have eaten it!"

"There are only two left, I can't bear to eat them."

Ji Cang said, taking out two red peppers from his arms, and then stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them carefully with a crunch.

Okay, you are not afraid of spicy food, and you don't need to show off like this.

Er Gouzi turned his head and pretended not to see it.

Not far from Shekou Mountain, the one or two thousand people who followed were still standing honestly in the snow, afraid of being expelled, and dared not move.

Er Gouzi walked over, and the man who had taken the lead in speaking before hurried out and bowed his hands.

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Sun, and my given name is Wangcai."

"Good, this name is auspicious!"

Er Gouzi praised.

This name sounds more like the name of a local dog, and it seems very close to Er Gouzi.

"I'll give you some straw and two stones of grain, and you can take your people to live at the foot of the barren mountain over there."

Er Gouzi pointed to two barren mountains not far from Shekou Mountain.

It was the land he exchanged from the county magistrate with elixirs.

Before, he organized people to open up acres of land, and gradually reclaimed and leveled more than 100 acres of flat land and dug two ponds.

When we continue to open up wasteland in the spring next year, we really need some manpower, and we can consider asking these people to help with the work.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you..."

Just then, a large group of people all knelt down in the snow and kowtowed to Er Gouzi desperately.

Their heads banged against the snow again and again. Some of them hit their heads against stones and bled, but they were unaware.

Originally, they didn't dare to expect Ergouzi to give them food. As long as they were protected and not caught and eaten, they would be lucky.

Unexpectedly, they were not only given a place to live, but also two stones of food.

Ergouzi asked Qiuyue to move two stones of food from the warehouse and give them to Sun Wangcai.

In addition, each person was given a large bundle of straw, which could be used for warmth, fire, and building straw huts.

Sun Wangcai took the lead and led these people to the foot of the wasteland with thousands of thanks.

Ergouzi then rode on the big goose and flew to the top of Shekou Mountain.

Yushan was still shirtless, pushing the thousand-jin stone mill to grind some medicinal herbs into powder.

In the winter, he was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Not hard work!"

"It's my job to share the worries of the boss."

Yushan wiped the sweat off his face and said proudly.
