Chapter 534

This year, Yunlou City and Chishui City in Shujian Lake held water and land conferences and Zhoutian Grand Ceremony, which cost countless money because they invited many gods on the mountain from Buddhism and Taoism, which were not the kind of people who seek fame and reputation.

This is because the two organizers have extraordinary identities, namely Liu Zhimao, the lord of Jiejiang, who was transferred from a prisoner from the Miyajimao stairs to a worshiper of the Zhenjing Sect, and Guan Yiran, the general garrison of Shujian Lake. Otherwise, the price would probably double at least. It would be a big deal to be able to invite these monks from the mountain to go down the mountain. Of course, it is also a blessing to have the ability to accumulate one's own merits and meet Liu Zhimao and Guan Yiran. Therefore, the Taoist immortals and great monks were very attentive to both rituals.

Among them, there are three figures that always hide behind the scenes that are not conspicuous. However, the military officials on Guan Yiran still admire the three of them for their accounting skills.

The three people were named Gu Can, Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi.

The two grand events ended smoothly, and everyone praised the immeasurable merits of Liu Chongfeng and General Guan.

At night, I had a celebration wine with General Guan’s officials. A tall and thin boy in a blue shirt walked back to his residence alone. It was a secluded alley in Chishui City. He rented a small house here. A tall boy stood at the door looking forward to it. Seeing the figure of the young man in blue shirt, he breathed a sigh of relief. The tall boy was Zeng Ye, a lucky man who was taken out of the fire pit by Zhang Yan, an old monk from Qingxia Island. Later, he worked at the mountain gate of Qingxia Island. During that time, he helped a occupant clean the room. Later, he traveled to many countries and practiced diligently with a side door similar to a ghost.

Ma Duyi didn't sleep either. She was a ghost, and she practiced at night and achieved twice the result with half the effort. At this moment, a light was lit on the table, planning to keep accounts, two water and land fairs and Zhoutian ceremony, spending money like flowing water. Fortunately, the hunchbacked old man named Zhu Lian sent two money for Grain Rain. Once, Zhu Lian came here in person. When he saw them, he smiled, had a kind face and was very good at speaking. The second time he was entrusting a young man named Dong Shuijing to send him to Yunlou City and handed it to the three of them.

Ma Duyi wore the talisman and fox fur from Xu's clan in Qingfeng City, and his appearance was fascinating.

Gu Can stood outside the door, patted his clothes, dissipated some alcohol, knocked on the door gently, walked into the house, poured himself a cup of tea, sat opposite Ma Duyi, and once sat on a bench between the two.

Ma Duyi didn't raise his head, "The officials in the General's Mansion are not greedy for money than those officials of the prefectures and counties back then. Apart from some money, they have almost no personal pockets."

Gu Can said calmly: "Isn't greedy for money? First, I don't have the courage to do things under General Guan's nose, and I dare not be careless. Second, I am destined to have a bright future. If I lose my career for money, it is not cost-effective. Naturally, I need to be a high-ranking official first and then make a lot of money. Without this little brain, how can I become General Guan's assistant official? However, some civil officials do not seek wealth, and the same will happen in the future."

Ma Duyi stretched and Gu Can had already handed over a cup of tea.

Naturally, even Ma Duyi would not feel any awkward when he was together day and night. As for Zeng Ye, he had already received the tea cup handed over by Gu Can.

Gu Can smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."

Ma Duyi drank all the tea and rubbed his wrists, and was full of energy. "I finally have time to find a bargain! I will visit all the countries around Shujian Lake! The Shihao Kingdom and the plum glaze Kingdom, all of them are going to go!"

Gu Can reminded: "Let me go back and give you the peace and nothing to visit these Dali vassal states. For your general route, try to get closer to the Dacheng Pass with Dali garrison. If you have trouble, you can ask for help. But in normal times, it is best not to reveal the Wuyou card, so as not to be hated by many monks who have lost their country."

Ma Duyi rolled his eyes and said, "Mother-in-law, are you bothered? Do you need to teach me these simple truths? I will walk with Mr. Chen earlier than you!"

Gu Can didn't care and smiled and said, "Then I'll go to rest first. The bar is the most tiring to socialize."

Gu Can left the room in the house and went to the study room on the other side of the main house. On the table were the heavy ghost artifacts that the accountant came from the secret warehouse in Qingxia Island that year, "being imprisoned" in the Yama Hall, and the imitation glass pavilion that was sold to the accountant in Qingxia Island by Yu Hui. Compared with the prison, this glass pavilion has only twelve rooms, including eleven of them, and were all cultivators in the middle fifth realm during his lifetime, and turned into evil ghosts, with deep obsessions. After so many years, there are about half of the residents now.

Gu Can sat upright on the chair, staring at the Hall of Hell in the Jail, immersed in it, his mind was as small as mustard seeds, like Qingxia Island in the entire Shujian Lake, "Gu Can" was in it, and there were more than 200 ghosts that were willing to use the Water and Land Dharma Assembly and the Zhoutian Da Jiao. Most of these existences were yin objects that had been continuously and had their wishes, and some no longer missed this life, hoping to live in the next life and change their way of life.

But there are still ghosts who choose to stay in this prison, day after day, year after year, cursing him, the culprit, many of them, and even the accountant also cursed viciously.

But even so, Gu Can still followed the agreement with that man. Not only did he not kill any ghosts to ashes, he also needed to go to the Hall of the Yama and the imitation of the Glazed Pavilion every once in a while, and threw the money from the gods to keep them a little bit of aura and not become evil spirits.

Gu Can withdrew from prison, turned his mind into Liuli Pavilion, and walked past the house one by one. The room was pitch black and there was no sight. Only when the ferocious ghosts stood at the door could Gu Can look at them.

At this moment, a woman in snow-white clothes stood at the door with a blank expression. Even though the two sides were only one foot away, she still had no intention of taking action.

Because before Liuli Pavilion was handed over to Gu Can, they had an agreement with the accountant who was strong and strong. In the future, Gu Can entered Liuli Pavilion and killed people and took revenge. There was no problem, and the consequences were borne by one, and there was only one chance.

None of the eleven evil objects chose to take action. Now two of them have their own wishes and choose to leave the world completely. One asked Gu Can to promise to take care of his family for at least a hundred years, and must be rich and noble without great disasters. Gu Can agreed. The other asked Gu Can to give her a direct disciple, a magic weapon to ensure that the disciple entered the fifth level of the Central Realm and not be restricted from his disciple's cultivation. Gu Can should not have any sinister intentions. Gu Can also agreed, but said that the magic weapon must be owe it first, but Gu Can can secretly help her disciple's path of cultivation.

There are three more people who choose to rely on Gu Can and serve as ghost generals, which is equivalent to the last worshippers at Gu Can Mountain in the future. The future money and identity promotion required for practicing Taoism will be determined according to the amount of future achievements. One of them is the old ghost who first left the imitation Liuli Pavilion and helped Ma Duyi pick up the bargain. Now he no longer comes to Liuli Pavilion to practice often, but he just feels at ease to be the manager of the three-person treasure treasury.

Gu Can withdrew from Liuli Pavilion, closed his eyes and rested, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping.

In the other side of the wing, Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye were still sitting on the same table.

Ma Duyi is still looking forward to the journey downstairs of the mountain, and is planning his current property and small treasury.

I wanted to speak but stopped, but I was unwilling to get up and leave.

Ma Duyi said in confusion: "Is there anything wrong?"

Zeng Ye asked, "What are the plans for the future?"

Ma Duyi was stunned for a moment, "What are the plans?"

Zengye hesitated for a moment, "I heard that some monks from Zhuchai Island are about to move to Mr. Chen's hometown, and I also want to leave Shujian Lake."

Ma Duyi frowned and said, "Isn't it good now? It's not Shujian Lake from that time, and you can't help but die. Now Shujian Lake has changed the world. Look, so many mountain and wild cultivators have become genealogical immortal masters of the Zhenjing Sect. Of course, they have a high level and are mostly from the master of the island. You once couldn't compare with such unknown soldiers. But in fact, if you are willing to open this mouth and ask Gu Can to help you clear your relationship and set some tricks, maybe in a few days you will be a ghost cultivator of the Zhenjing Sect. Even if you don't join the Zhenjing Sect, you have just practiced with peace of mind, and there is no problem. After all, we have a good relationship with the General Mansion of Chishuicheng, so you are actually very stable in Shujian Lake."

Zeng Ye lowered his head, "I'm really afraid of Gu Can."

Ma Duyi laughed and scolded: "Look at your prospect!"

After Zengye left, Ma Duyi fell into deep thought.

Gu Can is becoming more and more like the accountant, but Ma Duyi knows it well, just like it, that's all.

So in fact, Ma Duyi is also afraid of Gu Can.

The general's mansion opened in the Fan family in Chishui City, the chief general Guan Yiran was still dealing with government affairs in the study. After the knock on the door, Guan Yiran closed a secret note and said, "Come in."

The army monk named Yushanfang crossed the threshold openly, picked up a chair and sat down, collapsed on the chair, burped, and smiled, "This drink is so good! The little bastard named Gu is not old, he is really a man to drink, and his skills are even more amazing. My mother and I ate him with two brothers. I agreed in advance that this kid must lie under the table and circled around. I never thought that while drinking, the three of us started to have an internal conflict. There were nearly twenty people on the table, and it was best to go out standing, only me and that kid left. The kid carried several people back to his residence."

Guan Yiran asked, "What do you think of that young man?"

Yu Shanfang said: "I heard calluses in my ears about Qingxia Island and this kid in the past, but after getting along this year, it was not the case!"

Guan Yiran nodded and said nothing.

Yushanfang was too lazy to care more. This rough man's military career did not have so many intestines. Anyway, Yiran, who had been born and died for many years, was afraid of being afraid.

Guan Yiran asked, "Yushanfang, I plan to get closer to the young man named Dong Shuijing in Longquan County, and prepare to help him build a connection with my family and do some small businesses a little bigger."

Yu Shanfang said depressedly: "What are you talking about to me about this? I can't be a lieutenant, or a lackey who doesn't come to the house to protect the house. I'll tell you that you don't let me be a escort for Dong Shuijing. I'm a serious Dali Army monk. That bumpy talisman and iron armor is my wife. You must dare to let me take off my armor and seek a bullshit wealth, but it's the hatred of robbing my wife. Be careful that I'll kick you to death!"

Guan Yiran looked as usual: "The wealth route at the mountain, the canal transport has been flowing in the water since ancient times. If it were replaced by the mountain, it would be the immortal ferry. All secular dynasties, as long as there were the canal transport in China, the ranks of the governors were not low, and they were all ranks of officials with poor reputation but with real power. Now our Dali court is about to open a new yamen, which is in charge of the ferry routes and many ferries. The chief official is only one rank lower than the Minister of Revenue. Now the court has begun to compete for seats. I have three of my Guan family and I can get the lowest position. This is what I deserve. No one in and outside the family can find fault."

Speaking of this, Guan Yiran asked, "Yushanfang, I don't want you to go back to the fields, that will only make you feel frustrated. I don't understand you yet? I just want to take this opportunity to send you to that new yamen. From now on, you are in the open and Dong Shuijing is in the dark. You will help each other. If you are promoted, he will make a fortune. Don't worry, you will be clean. Just think that I have helped you. How about it?"

Yu Shanfang said depressedly: "I don't care about any official position, so let's forget it. You give this opportunity to others."

Guan Yiran asked, "Do you really want to die on the battlefield?"

Yu Shanfang grinned and said, "Where does the death war come from now?"

Guan Yiran hesitated for a moment and said implicitly: "The next battlefield is just as dangerous, but it is not on the back of the horse. I will only tell you one thing, which does not involve any secrets, but I figured it out myself, that is, all the monks garrisons outside the Dali land, and everyone, including me, Guan Yiran, will die suddenly anytime, anywhere, for no reason, especially those vassal states that were close to the tragic destruction of the country. The closer to the capital of the old country, or the closer to the destruction of the immortal mountain, the greater the possibility of the monks with the army's death in battle. And I can assert that there will be many sinister assassinations, many, many."

Yu Shanfang said, "Isn't that enough? I won't run away to become an official. With your little three-legged cat skill, without me, you have to worry about stabbing someone in the toilet?"

Guan Yiran was so angry that he grabbed a bronze paperweight and smashed it at the man.

Yu Shanfang grabbed it and said with a smile: "Oh, thank you for the reward."

Yu Shanfang stood up and ran towards the other side of the door.

Guan Yiran sat in the same place and said angrily: "You are only worth two or three taels of silver, so how can you be ashamed to go?"

Yu Shanfang stopped, turned his head, threw back the bronze paperweight with disgust, and cursed: "You are a Guan family member in Yunzai County, Yizhou, and you are using this shabby object to set it on the table?! I want to blush for Mr. Guan!"

Unexpectedly, Guan Yiran quickly stretched out his hands, took the bronze paperweight, sniffed gently, placed it carefully on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the imperial study of the emperor of the Zhu Ying Dynasty. Our General Su personally admired it to me. In fact, it is always valuable."

Yushanfang had just opened the door, and his back was facing the future head of the Guan family of Shangzhu Kingdom. He raised his arm high, raised his middle finger, and then stumbled onto the door.

———

An old man quietly landed in the courtyard of the alley and house.

Gu Can put away the Yama Hall and the imitation glass pavilion on the table, put them in a bamboo box at his feet.

Pick up a bamboo fan made of Shenxiao Bamboo on the table, put it on your waist, left the study with a smile, and opened the door of the main house.

The uninvited guest is his serious master.

It is rumored that it was a blessing in disguise in the water prison. Now it is expected to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul.

After Gu Can opened the door, he bowed and bowed, "Disciple Gu Can has met Master."

Liu Zhimao nodded with a smile, "There is no need to be so close to you and my master and apprentice."

The two sat in the lobby of the main house, with the plaque left by an old friend of the house, "Full Forever".

The couplets hanging on both sides are also very old and have not been replaced. They are quaint, "The mountains and rivers are beautiful after opening the door to enjoy the eyes. When closing the window, moral articles are cultivated."

Liu Zhimao sat in the main seat, and Gu Can sat on the side.

Liu Zhimao looked at the house and said, "The place is a little smaller, but it's very quiet."

Gu Can asked, "Do you want to drink? There is no Xianjia wine here, and a friend has a lot of glutinous rice wine, but the master may not be used to drinking such a market wine."

Liu Zhimao waved his hand and smiled and said, "Just forget to drink."

Gu Can stopped saying anything, smiled and sat upright.

Liu Zhimao asked with a smile: "Master had traveled outside with a sect priest before, and now he has some feelings for General Su Gaoshan. Do you want to join the army and seek a military officer?"

Gu Can shook his head and smiled, "Disciple won't squander the Master's incense."

Liu Zhimao did not force it, and suddenly sighed: "Gu Can, you are not fourteen years old yet, are you?"

Gu Can nodded.

Liu Zhimao was silent for a moment, "If Master successfully breaks the realm and enters the five realms, as a worshiper, he can make three requests to the Zhenjing Sect. This was agreed by Sect Master Jiang early in the morning. I plan to open an talk with the Zhenjing Sect and cut out a vassal island including Qingxia Island and Sulin Island, and give it to you together."

Gu Can looked calm and was not in a hurry to speak.

Liu Zhimao continued: "Master is not entirely for your favorite disciple, and he has selfish intentions. He still doesn't want the incense of Qingxia Island to be cut off. With you in Qingxia Island, the Ancestor Hall will not be closed. Even if Qingxia Island cannot leave behind a few people in the end, it doesn't matter. In this way, I, the owner of Qingxia Island, can serve Jiang Shangzhen and the Zhenjing Sect wholeheartedly."

Gu Can asked, "What does Master need a disciple to do? Even though Master speaks, the disciples dare not say anything that will never stop. If you can do it, you will definitely do it and try to do it better."

Liu Zhimao smiled with a look of relief, stroking his beard, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "It's that simple to help Qingxia Island Ancestor Hall grow branches and leaves. But the ugly saying goes ahead, except for the Yuanying of the True Realm Sect, Li Fuqi, I am not familiar with any of the other worships of all sizes. Master, and I even have potential enemies. Jiang Shangzhen never really talks to me, so it's not all good for you to take over Qingxia Island Ancestor Hall and several vassal islands. You need to weigh the pros and cons. After all, there are windfalls from heaven and too much money can kill people. You are the only disciple who has attracted attention to you, Gu Can, so it's so straightforward."
