Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Tang Bo and Gu Ding suddenly turned their heads to look at the side of the road.

They were about to leave Bailuling, this time they did not go to Sita County to the west, but to the east.

This road will pass through Huishi Village, then enter the uninhabited graystone wasteland, cross the tadpole tail of the red taro collar, and then proceed to the primitive jungle.

When they reached the edge of the virgin forest, they would go all the way north along the virgin forest.

"Come out." Tang Bo said.

Only then did the others become alert.

A figure appeared in the distance.

Gu Ding waved to the figure: "Ah Lang, come here."

A Lang rubbed his nose, and came over in a wobble.

Seeing that they were acquaintances, Bai Dou and Yan Ren smiled at A Lang.

"Hello lord, hello boss!" A Lang bowed and raised his head boldly and asked, "Lord, do you want to travel far?"

Tang Bo also taught a lot of lessons to A Lang and A Ji, and he had a good impression of this bold and cheeky boy, "Yeah, do you want to go with me?"

A Lang nodded quickly, his eyes full of expectation.

Tang Bo thought for a while, "Okay, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You can go out and learn a lot at your age. It happens that there is an extra mule. Will you ride a mule alone?"

A Lang nodded frantically again, "Boss taught me."

Aji was too young, so Gu Ding entrusted him with a lot of running errands. He was jealous that adults could ride horses, so he pestered Gu Ding to find someone to learn how to ride a mule.

The extra mule was pretending to be used to carry the salute, and there were two sacks filled with light clothes on it, which looked bulging, but were actually of little weight.

Tang Bo looked at A Lang, and simply asked Yan Ren to turn around and ask A Ji if he wanted to go out with him. A Shu, A Lang, and Gu Ding were all children. Since he brought three, he didn't care about adding another one. .

The main reason is that Tang Bo likes the child Aji very much. He is young but unexpectedly stable. Moreover, that child is not only smart, but also taught very well by his family. If he is well taught, he is definitely a talent for managing the world.

Judging from the estimated journey, he will have to leave Bailuling for at least two or three months. After he leaves, although the butler can teach Aji and other outstanding students some knowledge, it is still not as good as teaching him himself.

The task is very important, and it is indeed inconvenient to take care of children, but Tang Bo will shrink back because of this. He is not Tang Bo. In essence, he is a person who does whatever he wants.

When Gu Ding learned that Tang Bo wanted to bring Aji with him, he was a little jealous, but when he thought that Aji was his valued younger brother, the sour taste quickly disappeared.

When Yanren received the order, he felt a little against bringing so many children, but when he thought of the lord's ability, he turned around and went to pick up Aji without saying a word.

Aji was very happy to hear that he could travel far away with the lord and the boss.His family felt that it was extremely honorable, but they were worried that Aji was too young and would cause trouble to the lord, and they were even more afraid that the lord would get bored with Aji because of it.

Tang Bo considered that Aji was too young and really needed someone to take care of him, and the group of them, except for Ashu, were all big men, and they might be lacking in childcare, so he brought Aji's sister Bai Mingzhu along.Tang Bo thought, with many white pearls, Ah Shu can also have a companion.

Well now, the news spread, many people envied and envied the luck of this pair of siblings, soon there were rumors that the lord had taken a fancy to Bai Mingzhu and said that she wanted her to "serve" all the way.

The Aji family was very angry about this. They are not people who sell their daughters for glory, and they never want their daughters to become mistresses of noble lords.It was later found out that the big dog said this first.Regardless of Dagou's father's face, Aji's father ran to Dagou's house and trained Dagou.

Dagou's father beat his son severely for this, and asked Dagou to apologize to the Aji family.The big dog was afraid of being beaten, so he apologized honestly, but he hated and envied Aji's family even more in his heart, and was even full of resentment towards his own family.

At that time, Tang Bo and his party were about to reach Wuyunling.

Because of the task time limit, Tang Bo didn't delay much on the road. He just observed the geographical conditions and customs along the road, and then gave Yanren time to draw a map.

While Yanren was drawing the map and resting for the team, Tang Bo gave lessons to a few juniors, including the cook Ashu and Bai Mingzhu who came to take care of his younger brother.

Ah Shu has always regarded Tang Bo as a god, and Tang Bo is what he says. Tang Bo asked her to learn, but if she didn't understand, she had to work hard to learn.

But Bai Mingzhu cherished this opportunity very much, she knew that she was taking advantage of her younger brother, and she didn't think there was any shame in it.She is not as smart as her younger brother, but she is willing to put in more effort, and she does not seek to surpass her younger brother. She only hopes to learn the knowledge and skills taught by the lord well, and in the future, she will find out what she is good at, do things for the lord, and relieve the family's worries.

After Tang Bo got in touch with Bai Mingzhu for a while, he took a different view of this girl.Although Bai Mingzhu only has the intelligence of ordinary people, but she is very good at being a human being, and she is generous and fair, careful and conscientious, and arranges affairs in an orderly manner. It didn't take long for Baidou and Yanren to get used to entrusting her to arrange daily affairs.

Even Pijie admired Bai Mingzhu very much, thinking that it was a pity that this girl was born a girl, and secretly told Baidou and Yanren that if Bai Mingzhu had a better background, she might be able to be the wife of a minor nobleman to help the housekeeper.

Tang Bo scoffed at Piglet's words. He came from the modern earth, so naturally he would not limit the highest achievement of women to the position of noble housekeeper.He saw that Bai Mingzhu could be cultivated, so he naturally took care of her, and paid more attention to her teaching, and put more emphasis on letting her take care of practical affairs, mainly logistics.

Good logistics, winning the world.This statement is not a joke.

Nowadays, people don't pay much attention to logistics, and even regard logistics managers as odd jobs.But in the modern world, no one can ignore the importance of logistics, and logistics represents strength and stability.

If a team's logistics management is chaotic, then the team must be finished.

Bai Mingzhu discovered that after the lord taught everyone how to use the form, he intentionally taught her to manage some trivial matters and asked her to keep detailed records, so she paid more attention.

Aji is too young to notice the change of his sister's status in the team, but he can still feel that his sister is getting busier every day. In order not to cause trouble to others, the child tries hard to learn to take care of himself and try not to give My sister is making trouble.

The children of the poor are already in charge of the family. Although Aji is young, it is completely fine for him to dress, eat and bathe by himself.Riding a mule for a long time is not comfortable, especially in the wind and rain, but Aji never cried, and only when he couldn't stand it did he tell Yan Ren who was holding him and riding the same mule.

Ah Lang is already 12 years old. This kid probably grew up naturally because he was dependent on others and no one took care of him. He is very thick-skinned, but he is also very good at watching people. He saw that Bai Mingzhu was busy, so he took the initiative to take care of Ah Lang. Ji's work helped Bai Mingzhu relieve a lot of pressure.

A Lang and A Ji are both Gu Ding's younger brothers, they get on well, A Ji is sensible, it is not hard for A Lang to take care of him.Moreover, Aji is smart and quick to learn, and can discuss knowledge with Alang, and he admires Alang who can play wildly. Alang is also happy to stay with Aji.

Alang and Aji almost ate and slept together along the way, and Bai Mingzhu and Ashu slept together. The relationship between the two couples heated up rapidly, and they were much closer than when they were in Bailuling. People who didn't know thought they were brothers. and sisters.

Tang Bo was reminded by Gu Ding that he made two large leather bags and put them on the mule's back, so that Aji and Ashu could sit in the leather bags and take a nap when they were tired.

Tang Bo originally wanted Gu Ding to enter the leather bag, but Gu Ding refused.

Gu Ding plausibly said that he was 12 years old, not a real child, and he could ride a horse by himself.

Tang Bo saw that he had the same appearance and size as a four or five-year-old child, so he had no choice but to take him with him resignedly.

Tired of riding on Guding Road, he sat on the horse's back and asked Tang Bo to hold him.

Tang Bo felt that the child was acting like a spoiled child to him, but he didn't tell the truth, the child Gu Ding wanted to save face, especially in front of his two younger brothers.

"Lord, there is the Wuyun leader in front, and I saw a village." Yan Ren came back on a mule to report, relying on his certain qualities and talents, he served as a scout in the team.Yan Ren himself did not refuse such an appointment, even the little Gu Ding often went out alone to explore the way.

Tang Bo opened his eyelids and waved to Yan Ren.

Yan Ren tied up his mule and came over. He saw two girls sitting on the edge of the carriage and whispering in the camp. The three little boys were playing together, while the leader, Tang Bo, was half lying on a recliner and taking a nap. , couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's really full of life, and it's very comfortable. Anyone who sees their team will never think that they came from thousands of miles away, and they are still on the way of adventure.

Bai Dou and Piglet called Yan Ren to sit by the fire.

Bai Dou looked at Tang Bo, and asked naively, "Lord, shall we go to that village to rest tonight?"

Tang Bo lazily shook his head: "We will not go to Wuyunling, nor will we go to that village. Tomorrow morning, we will go directly to the salt mine that Yanren said may produce salt."

Piglet said: "We have a carriage, enough food and clean water, and we don't need to go into the village on purpose, so as not to alarm the locals, it would be great if there is any trouble."

Now Piglet also knows that Tang Bo has a special ability bestowed by Bailuling——he can use Bailuling's divine space to temporarily store his things there, and take them out when needed, which is very convenient!

This skill made Piglet extremely envious, and he became even more devoted to Tang Bo.How many lords can be truly favored by the gods?It was his luck that he could keep up with such a lord.

Seeing Yan Ren coming back, the three little Maotou and two girls ran over together, wanting to hear what Yan Ren had detected.

Yan Ren sat down by the fire, took the hot soup handed over by Ah Shu, thanked the little girl with a smile, and said to Tang Bo after taking two sips: "In this case, we have to go northeast. The north will enter the range of the dark cloud collar."

"Is there any problem?" Tang Bo asked sensitively.

Yanren held the soup bowl and said uncertainly: "I have never been here before, I only read the map. But this place feels very strange to me."

"Oh? What a strange way? What did you find?" Baidou asked curiously while turning the animal meat on the grill.

Yan Ren turned his head to look in the direction of the village, pondered for a while before saying: "There are many bone whistles hanging outside that village."

The white bone whistle is not a specialty of a certain place, but it is found everywhere. It is a whistle made of bones, which can be blown or hung outside the house as a decoration.

However, very few are used as decorations. Villagers in most places regard the bone whistle as a kind of evil spirit and self-defense.

It is said that the sound of the bone whistle blown by the wind can scare away evil spirits and wild animals.

But the bone whistle also has disadvantages, that is, it is very noisy when it is windy, especially at night.

Therefore, there are bone whistles in villages, but most of them are meaningless. Only hunters and people who walk in the wild will always have bone whistles, and few people will hang a lot of them in fixed places.

Obviously, in the village Yanren mentioned, the number of bone whistles hanging outside has reached an astonishing level.

"There are many beasts around here?" Tang Bo asked.

Baidou was in charge of hunting, and replied after hearing the words: "It's okay. In this season, as long as there are relatively dense forests and grasslands, there are many wild animals. But our place is far away from the water source, so there shouldn't be too many wild animals gathering nearby. "

Tang Bo had a ten cubic meter purified water pool with him, so they didn't have to look for a place with water every time they took a break, which also allowed them to avoid many dangers.

"If there are many wild animals, many traps will be dug outside the village, but I haven't found many traps." Yan Ren took out a wooden figurine from his pocket and handed it to Tang Bo, "I found this."

Everyone else is fine. When Pijie saw this thing, he immediately jumped up, reached out and knocked down the little wooden man, and shouted loudly at Yan Ren: "This is a puppet, how can you bring it to the lord!"

Yan Ren was taken aback, and said in a panic: "I don't know, I just saw a lot of these little wooden figures tied up in the trees and grass outside the village. I thought it was a bit weird, so I took one. I think the Lord If you're well-informed, you might know what it is."

"A puppet?" Tang Bo signaled Piglet not to be so nervous, but he didn't pick up the little wooden figure on the ground, and only asked Piglet, "What is a puppet?"

Gu Ding and a few children all came over to watch, and no one went to pick up the puppet cheaply.

Piglet raised his hand, made an apologetic gesture to Yan Ren, and sat down with sweat on his face, "The golem is something used to summon the demons. It is said that this thing can possess the demons and can be used to make wishes and It can be used to curse and has many uses, but no matter what the purpose is, this kind of puppet is not a good thing."

"Why can the demons possess this kind of puppet?" Tang Bo became more curious.

Piglet wiped his sweat, "There are probably members of the Demon Slayer Cult here."

"Tu Mojiao?" Tang Bo felt that he had heard this name somewhere, and recalled it carefully, only then did he realize that it was the original body's memory.

However, the original body doesn't know much about the Demon Slayer Sect. He only knows that it is the religious organization with the best development and the largest number of congregants in Shuangyuexing, and it exists all over the world. He served as a disciple of the priest, and shared the task of eliminating demons and evil spirits with the court pharmacist.

However, with the development of the Demon Slayer Cult, pharmacists have become less and less involved in eliminating evil spirits. Almost all of these affairs have been taken care of by the Demon Slayer Cultists. Even plagues and disasters have occurred in some places, and the local nobles no longer look for pharmacists. , but ran to the Tumo Cultists to get rid of the demons.

From Tang Bo's point of view, the development of the Demon Slayer Sect should still be in its infancy. There is no complete doctrine yet, and there is no clear leader of the gods. It is said to be a sect, but more like a loose witchcraft organization.Perhaps this is also the reason why the rulers of various countries can allow it to develop?

"Since it's called Tumojiao, why can they use golems to summon demons?" Gu Ding was puzzled, he had never heard of Tumojiao.

Piglet said with full reverence: "Because they can control the demons, the Demon Slayer Cult has always believed that using the demons to deal with the demons can show their power. This kind of puppet is one of the most commonly used spells by the Demon Slayer Cultists. If you If you look carefully, you can see some weird patterns on the puppet, it is said that this is the magic script, except for the demons, only the demon-killing cultists know how to use it."

"Then is there a demon attached to this wooden man?" Yan Ren was worried, with an expression on his face that wanted to kick the puppet into the fire.

Piglet shook his head, "I don't know either, but I heard that only demon-slayer cultists can touch these puppets. If someone else moves, they will..."

"What will happen?" Everyone tensed up.

"It will be unlucky, I will be possessed, I don't know." Piglet looked at Yan Ren with sympathy.

Yan Ren's face turned black, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Tang Bo sat up from the reclining chair, snapped his fingers, muttered something, and bent down to pick up the puppet from the ground.

Everyone shouted nervously: "Lord, put down!"

Gu Ding leaned close to Tang Bo, and also reached out to touch it.

His little paw was slapped away by Tang Bo.

Tang Bo waved his hands to everyone, saying that he has the body protection of Bailuling and he will be fine.In fact, he has the power of a river crab, and no evil spirits can harm him, so he dared to study this puppet.

He didn't know if this puppet was possessed by demons, but he did feel a strange energy when he picked up the puppet.

But after that energy touched him, it retracted into the puppet's body as if it had been scalded.

Tang Bo became a little interested and motioned for Yan Ren to reach out.

Tang Bo held Yan Ren's hand.
