This Liu Yufang is really not a good person.

Until he was fifty, he was still a businessman in a small county town and a typical profiteer.

All shops under his name are known for being short and short, and are known for being inferior. However, this does not prevent him from getting rich because... he "was able to do it".

In those days, in some small places, as long as the local parents were willing to protect you, you could basically walk there.

Liu Yufang took this kind of "collusion between officials and businessmen" - in our modern concept, he successfully achieved regional monopoly in many businesses by bribing successive county officials.

Even if the local people don’t want to buy the things from his Liu family, they have to buy them. If they suffer losses, they can only swallow them. If you go to the yamen and sue him, you will definitely not be able to win, and you may have to be beaten.

Occasionally, there will be projects that the imperial court allocates funds to be done, so the local officials naturally contracted it to Liu Yufang after "pulling water". Liu Yufang pumped water again and made a tofu project, and in the end the people still suffered.

In short, in those years, in Liu Yufang's hometown, he was truly "the county magistrate who was flowing and the iron-clad Master Liu."

It’s so satisfying for others to earn money that is so unscrupulous. The family is occupying a house, lying on the ground, dressing in wealth, and having a lot of wives and concubines... It’s more comfortable than many rich men in big cities.

However, when Liu Yufang was fifty years old, something happened.

Perhaps he was really retribution in the dark. At the most glorious moment in his life, he got sick.

How did he find out that he is sick, how he visited famous doctors, and how he was diagnosed, we won’t go into details. In short, let’s talk about a word that everyone will understand immediately - liver cancer.

Although Liu Yufang is a bad guy, he is also a smart person. In the face of such things that involve his own life and death, he will not deceive himself: after hearing so many doctors evasively speaking to him, he must have understood... his disease cannot be cured.

But he didn't want to die. His will to survive was extremely strong, but he also knew that relying on common sense or science could no longer save himself, so he could only turn to ghosts and gods...

Of course, he did not look for the "Jianghu Warlock" because he knew very well that ten out of ten of the gangs were liars. After they came to the door, they either danced to you or talked about alchemy with you. Then they used the word "drag" to cheat food, drink and money at your house... The scammers can afford to delay, but his disease cannot be delayed.

As the saying goes, it is better to beg for others than to ask for others. One night, Liu Yufang simply took the opportunity to do it himself. He brought a bowl of rice, a few sticks of incense, a few fire pieces, a stack of paper money, three candles, a few pieces of bamboo and a hammer... and went to the cemetery.

What is he preparing to do?

The local method - "Nail the grave and ask the ghosts".

This matter is circulating in many parts of our country. Liu Yufang also heard his parents mention it when he was a child, but there are almost no people who really do this, because those who really believe in this kind of thing will be afraid, and if they are afraid, they won’t go. And those who are not afraid means that they don’t believe it at all, and there is no need to go... Besides, digging graves and robbing tombs is a serious crime in any dynasty. What should I do if I get caught in such a shadowless thing?

But Liu Yufang doesn't care. He is all about to die. How could he have so many concerns?

That night, he picked up a grave in the cemetery in the desert outside the county, set up the meal, incense in the rice, set up a few more candles around it, and then nailed the bamboo piece into the grave.

The first grave was nailed down and there was no response. He wefted the bamboo pieces and changed them to the grave. Then the second one... still had no response.

In this way, three, four, five... Just as Liu Yufang gradually felt that this method was ineffective and wanted to give up...

未分—未分—

As the bamboo piece was knocked into the fifth tomb by a hammer, suddenly, the flames of the candles beside Liu Yufang turned green.

The fifth tomb is a "nameless tomb". There were many such tombs in ancient times. Some people died in a foreign land, and no one could find their identity certificates for various reasons, and no one came to claim the body. The locals could only bury it nearby and build a tomb, but there was no name on the tomb, and no one came to worship.

When Liu Yufang saw that the nameless tomb had reacted to the "nailing grave", he continued to nail it down. Soon, the ghost came out of the grave.

Liu Yufang was not afraid, so he asked the ghost: Is there any way to survive? Is there any god in this world that can save me? Is there a god or a monster that can't do evil or monsters.

The ghost obviously would not answer him directly. After they reached the "deal", the ghost told him that he might have saved him when he rushed to Shushan to find those sects that practiced.

Liu Yufang was not vague and immediately offered a lot of paper money, promising to send someone to build a monument for the ghost tomorrow.

I have to say that Liu Yufang is a person with strong execution ability.

In the next seven days, in addition to paying the ghost to repair the tomb as agreed, he also donated all his property to temples, Taoist temples and poor people in various places according to the ghost's "instructions".

Even the people were stunned: What's wrong with this Liu? He was possessed by evil spirits? There would be no trap here, right? Will we be asked to come to the door one day to charge usury?

Look at their reaction, which shows what impression Liu Yufang gives on weekdays and how hateful it is...

Of course, no matter how others think of him or say him... Liu Yufang no longer cared about it - everyone is going to die, he doesn't even want money, will he care about that?

After scattering all the family fortune, Liu Yufang rushed to Mount Emei without saying a word and went to "apprentice to seek the truth."

You may find it strange when you see this. Emei is the first of the mountains in the Shu Mountain area. Can people like Liu Yufang succeed in getting a disciple?

Then I have to say one thing: the bigger the sect, the easier it is to get into some people who shouldn’t be accepted.

Although Liu Yufang had done many evil things in the first half of his life, when he went to Emei, his heart was indeed sincere, and he did take all his wealth to do good deeds, as if he had a great enlightenment and became a Buddha.

With his condition at that time, it was not surprising that he could get up the mountain.

Let’s put it short, Liu Yufang joined the “Taiyu Sect” in Emei at the age of fifty. He practiced there for a while and received the Taoist name “Guan Hengzi”.

The Taoist priests of Tailuo Sect not only cured his illness, but also taught him the methods of refining qi and some Taoist techniques, which allowed him to live for decades.

However, paper cannot contain the fire. Liu Yufang is a man who is not upright after all. When he has no life, he gradually reveals his true nature...

That summer twenty-five years ago, Liu Yufang was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to travel.

This Tailu Sect is different from the Xuanqi Sect. They are large sects and have a strong sense of responsibility. Therefore, when some disciples' Taoism reach a certain level, they will send these disciples down the mountain to "do good deeds and eliminate evil spirits", which is not only a kind of experience, but also a way to do something for the world.

And it was during that time that Liu Yufang met a young magistrate. The magistrate was not someone else, but Han Yu, who had just been an official for less than two years.

As soon as Liu Yu saw Han Yu, he found that this son was not casual and had a great minister, but he had not yet waited for the opportunity.

Although Liu Yufang had been practicing in the mountains for many years, he was still the same businessman in his heart: before he was fifty, he was a profitable businessman, colluding with officials and businessmen, and doing business with others; when he was fifty, he was terminally ill, nailing the grave to ask ghosts, and doing business with ghosts; but now, he is clearly a monk, but he is still thinking about fame and fortune in the world and plans to do business with Han Yu.

He was thinking at the time that... Han Yu must be the third one in the future. If he could take it as his wing, or at least take Han Yu a handle, it would not be difficult for him to become a "national teacher" in the future with his own ability and Lord Han's recommendation.

If conditions permit, he will have another emperor and live in the country...will it be beautiful?

Everyone, if you listen to the storytelling too much, you will know that this guy is thinking about peach. How can it be so easy to get into the palace to cause trouble? Is the true dragon emperor so easy to deal with? Any time Liu Yufang reads a few more Taoist scriptures on the mountain, he should know that he would be killed by thunder in this way.

However, this did not prevent him from "discussing business" with Han Yu at this moment.

Saying it is a "buying and dealing" is actually a fraud; Liu Yu knew that no matter whether he had help or not, Han Yu would become a high-ranking official sooner or later, but he lied to Han Yu and said, "I can make you the most powerful minister", but there must be conditions.

Han Yu was not successful at that time. When he saw that an old Taoist who had real magic power (proves that it is not difficult) came to tell him about this matter, he must have felt that the opportunity was impossible.

So Liu Yufang continued to fool him, saying that in the past twenty years, Han Yu had "an unspeakable thing", that the karma caused by this incident hindered Han Yu's career. Han Yu had to tell this matter out and let Liu Yufang help him do his best to settle the matter, so that this karma could be eliminated.

His words are just like those scammers who are engaged in "mind reading" or "medium" and ask you, "What are you up to you recently?" to put it bluntly, it is just a word.

Who can be without any worries?

Who has lived for decades and will there be nothing that doesn’t want others to know?

Liu Yufang just wanted to use this to get a handle on Han Yu and then use it according to the situation.

As for Han Yu, after thinking about it, he said a few things that are both important and serious, and are not painful. Liu Yu just stopped taking his tricks, so what's the use of that kind of thing that cannot be called a handle?

So Liu Yufang looked angry and gave the other party an ultimatum: "If you don't tell the truth, I won't help you."

Han Yu was so anxious that after some inner struggle, he sold the "Yu Tai Immortal" who had helped him.

When Liu Yufang heard this, he was very happy and said to himself: "Okay, it turns out that your top scholar was taking the money given by the monster to take the exam in Beijing... This matter should be added to the fire, and it would be okay to say that this monster would cheat you when you take the exam. Once this matter is spread, your fame will be "incorrect in the background". No matter how big the official is, it will be useless... With this matter, I will be in my hands for the rest of my life."

He made up his mind, but Liu Yufang was still silent on the surface. He told Han Yu that he would settle this matter. In less than three to five years, Lord Han will definitely rise to the top, but if I ask you for help in the future, I have to help.

The two people's "buy" is settled.

Afterwards, Liu Yufang followed and headed straight to Yueyang, trying to kill the Jade-tailed Immortal to silence him.

Although the possibility is not very high, if someone can find this fairy to testify to Han Yu in the future, it will be a matter of extravagance, so I will kill her to insurance.

So, a few days later, on the edge of Taihu Lake, Liu Yu opened an altar at night to catch monsters.

He summoned the Jade-tailed Immortal, kept saying "Han Yu asked me to come", and used magic to knock it out of the prototype, destroying the body, and removing the two souls and four spirits (the monster's soul is incomplete, but it can be slowly completed through cultivation).

Just as the Jade-tailed Immortal was only one soul and one spirit left, and was about to disappear, the old Taoists of Tailuo Sect arrived...

The old Taoists took Liu Yufang on the spot, and the latter wanted to argue that he was "removing demons", but the old Taoists would not take his tricks.

However, because Liu Yufang did not commit any heinous crimes, it was just an "attempt", the old Taoists just drove him out of the sect on the spot and abolished his Taoist practice.

Liu Yufang, who had lost his magic power, suddenly became old, with white hair and thin bones... Where did he go, what did he do, how did he go to the pawnshop to work as the "Mr. Tongquan", and why did he join the Five Spirit Sect because of the "Nine Feathers Chasing Sun Furnace"... Let's describe these later, let's talk about the Jade-tailed Immortal first.

That night, Yuwei didn't know if the old Taoists who suddenly came here would be unfavorable to her, so she saw that Liu Yu was restrained and hurriedly escaped; but her remnant soul had nowhere to be in the world, and finally floated around and was attached to the "Picture of Encountering Immortals in the Lake".

To some extent, the painting painted by Han Yu saved her life.

After staying in Lu Wen's warehouse for a few years, as Han Yu's reputation grew, the "Picture of Encountering Immortals in the Lake" was taken out by Lu Wen and framed and hung in the study.

Later in the past twenty years, Yuwei Daxian stayed in Lu Wen's study, slowly waiting for his vitality to recover. At the same time, he also watched and listened to the lush activities in the officialdom every day.

Until today, Lu Wen sent this painting to Sun Yixie's mansion...

As soon as the Jade-tailed Immortal entered Sun's Mansion, she found that this place was unique - she almost became energetic as soon as she leaned into the house. In those few hours, she had recovered more vitality and magic power than she had in previous years.

What's going on? The secret statement in the book here is actually because of something about Sun Yixie.

I wonder if you still remember that at Lanruo Temple, Miaoyinzi once gave Sun Yixi a red gadget, similar to an egg, and told him that this thing cannot leave for a moment from this day, and that this thing can save his life in the future.

We can't tell the real use of this thing now. You just need to know that since this thing can slowly dissipate spiritual energy, Sun Yixie has accumulated a lot of free spiritual energy in the Sun's mansion in the past few months after returning home, which has made the Jade Tail cheaper.

It is precisely because of this that Yuwei has the ability to create all kinds of strange phenomena to lure Sun Yun and the others into the house to talk.

But she didn't expect that the two guys were so cowardly. Not only did they dare not enter the house, but they also went to "shake people"... In order to prevent them from making things bigger, Yuwei had to show up.

At present, Yuwei has explained her experience to Sun Yixie and Yun Shili - of course, she is not very clear about Liu Yufang's affairs, she just talks about what she knows from her perspective.

In her opinion, Han Yu received her kindness back then and it would be fine if he didn't want to repay her. He even found a Taoist priest to get rid of him. This "revenge" would be unreasonable.

In the afternoon, Yuwei heard Lu Wen talk about her experience at the "Elegant Seal of West Lake" and learned that she was going to be sent to the Sun Mansion. The Sun family's young master, Sun Yixie, was both a young hero and a friend of Yun Shili. At that time, she felt that the opportunity to take revenge had come.

Yuwei had been "hanging" in Lu Wen's study for so many years, and had listened to countless conversations between officials. She naturally knew that Lord Yun Shili of the Jinyiwei... was the tempted person of the officials. If anyone in the court can get rid of Han Yu, Yun Shili would definitely be one.
To be continued...
