Sword Dao Alchemy

"It's really amazing..."

"Let the people of the world become so superstitious about him."

Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly, but the old man said again: "Old man! We still have a problem..."

"Ah! There's a problem..." The old man woke up suddenly, looked at Lin Yun and smiled sheepishly: "I actually forgot that I was talking to you..."

"It's just that King Jiahe is so kind to us... I can't help it."

"Old man! It's okay...but we disturbed you." Lin Yun slightly apologized.

"Ha! Master, you are also a magical person. Listen to what I said... you must also want to meet King Jiahe." The old man said with a smile.

"Yes! We really want to see him. So, after asking a question, we went to find King Jiahe..." Lin Yundao.

When the old man heard what Lin Yun said, his expression was both excited and a little disappointed.

"King Jiahe should be seen, but now...it's not easy to see him."

"Since the world has been in chaos for decades, he has not appeared for a long time..."

"To this day...I'm not even sure if he is still in the Jiahe Dynasty."

"Oh!" Lin Yun nodded slightly and said, "If we can't see him, we will be satisfied knowing his deeds. If we are destined, we will definitely be able to see him."

"I know you can. After all, you are different. Like him, you are a god from outside the sky." The old man nodded affirmatively.

"What kind of gods are there? If we were gods, we wouldn't ask these questions to you, old man." Lin Yun said with a helpless smile.

The old man also heard that Lin Yun did not want to continue the previous topic, so he asked: "I wonder what else the young master wants to know?"

"We just want to know why there are only old and weak women and children working in the fields now, but not young and middle-aged men?" Lin Yun asked.

"Ha! So that's what you wanted to know... It's very simple... They all went to build the Tower of Babel." The old man said with a faint smile.

"Tower of Babel?" Lin Yun was startled and asked, "What's going on?"

"This is just something that happened last year." The old man smiled lightly, looking very proud.

"Listen to me and tell you slowly."

"Our Jiahe dynasty has enjoyed long-term peace and stability, and after decades of people living and working in peace and contentment, life has become increasingly dull."

"People's desire to move forward in life is getting stronger and stronger."

"It's just that we only have this area to guard, and we can't think of any other way..."

"At this time... God gave us a revelation. It said that if we can build a tower that reaches the sky, we can attract the power from the sky and let us increase our harvest several times."

"By that time, we will all naturally become rich."

"So, King Jiahe issued an order last year, asking all young and middle-aged people to build the Babel Tower."

"That's it!" Lin Yun nodded and asked: "Is the construction of Babel Tower for free or for wages?"

"Working in vain?" The old man sneered and said, "Although everyone in the world is grateful to King Jiahe and is willing to contribute to him, but... a day or two is fine, who is willing to work in vain for a long time?"

"What's more, the construction of the Babel Tower cannot be completed in ten or a hundred days. I'm afraid it will take several years. Naturally, no one will do it in vain."

"Then we have to pay wages! If there are many people doing it, it will be a big burden." Lin Yun added.

"We won't pay wages either!" The old man shook his head again, but the pride on his face became even stronger.

"Why is that?" Lin Yun and Yun Qingqing were both confused, and their doubtful eyes focused on the old man's face.

"Because rewards are given out, and the rewards given out at one time are more than a hundred times as much as the wages." The old man said proudly.

"Reward?" Lin Yun and Yun Qingqing were surprised again and had something in mind, but they still wanted to confirm it.

"Uncle, can you tell me clearly?"

"It's like this..." The old man suppressed the excitement in his heart a little and said.

"When officials from the dynasty came to inform us of the news, they placed hundreds of logs at the entrance of our village."

"The official pointed at the young and middle-aged people in the village and said, carry these logs from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, and the first person to arrive will be rewarded with a thousand cents!"

"You know, the normal wage for carrying a piece of wood from the east to the west of the village is only ten coins."

"And this reward is one thousand yuan, a hundred times as much..."

"Suddenly, all the young and middle-aged people in the village howled and ran wildly from the east to the west of the village carrying the wood."

"In the end, it was my son who arrived first and received a thousand coins. Therefore, my life has been much more comfortable this year..."

"You don't know, when we received the award, the whole village looked at my son and me with envy on their faces. It felt so good."

"Later, my son became the leader of a group of young adults from our village who went to build the Tongtian Tower."

"At that time, the officials of the dynasty said that building the Tongtian Tower would be rewarded every day. If you keep doing well, there will be officials to do it..."

"That is to say... my son, when he went out, he was just the leader of hundreds of people. Maybe when he comes back, he will be a high official who can manage tens of thousands of people..."

The old man said that the spitting stars were flying around, and he had already fallen into his crazy imagination and couldn't help himself.

Lin Yun and Yun Qingqing had a sad smile in their eyes and left quietly.

…

"What a good idea..."

Lin Yun and Yun Qingqing sighed as they drove to the roadside.

They were going to take a look at the Tower of Babel.

We need to see whether it is a place to communicate with gods or a hell on earth.

"Yeah... who says it's not? He used a thousand coins to do a job worth thousands of coins, and everyone had no complaints. They just felt that they were incompetent and could not compare with others. This mind-controlling technique is really amazing." Lin Yun said with a wry smile. .

"This person... once the greed in their hearts is mobilized, they will no longer think about the problem carefully." Yun Qingqing said disdainfully.

"Sister Yun is right! Not only do they not think about the problem from the right direction, but they also think that others have robbed them. Therefore, although there is a light of envy in their eyes, they hate the people who get the reward to the extreme in their hearts!"

"Don't you know that what they should really hate is the high and mighty people who use this method to rob them of what they deserve." Lin Yun felt very sad. This mind-controlling technique distorted human nature.

"But the vulgar people in the world believe in this, not the truth. They just want to get rich overnight, and never think about the poverty of a thousand days." Yun Qingqing smiled coldly.

"So... let's go and destroy the Tower of Babel! Maybe that thing has other purposes, and it's not for the benefit of the people." Lin Yun said.

"That makes sense! If we destroy that evil tower, the King of Jiahe will automatically come out..." Yun Qingqing said.
