Chapter 534
This year, Yunlou City and Chishui City in Shujian Lake held water and land conferences and Zhoutian Dajiao successively, which cost a lot of money because they invited many Buddhist and Taoist mountain gods, who were not just looking for fame.
This is due to the unusual identities of the two organizers. They are Liu Zhimao, the true king of Jiejiang who was converted from a prisoner on Gongliudao Island to a worshiper of the Zhenjing Sect, and Guan Yiran, the general stationed at Shujian Lake. Otherwise, the price would have been doubled at least.
, being able to invite these mountain monks to come down the mountain and consume the incense is a big sacrifice. Of course, it is also a blessing to not only accumulate your own merits, but also to get to know Liu Zhimao and Guan Yiran, so one person
The Taoist gods and virtuous monks were extremely attentive to both rituals.
Among them, there are three figures who are always hidden behind the scenes. However, the officers and officials accompanying Guan Yiran are still somewhat impressed by the three people's ability to settle accounts.
Those three people were named Gu Can, Zeng Ye, and Ma Duyi.
The two grand events ended successfully, and everyone praised Liu Chongfeng and General Guan for their immeasurable merits.
In the night, after a celebratory drink with General Guan's officials, a tall and thin young man wearing a green shirt walked back to his residence alone. It was a secluded alley in Chishui City, where he rented a small building.
In the house, a tall young man stood at the door and looked up eagerly. When he saw the figure of the young man in green shirt, he breathed a sigh of relief. The tall young man was none other than Zeng Ye, a lucky man who was lifted out of the fire pit by the old monk Zhang Jie of Qingxia Island.
Later, I worked as an errand at the mountain gate of Qingxia Island. During that time, I helped a bookkeeper clean the room. Later, we traveled together to many countries and practiced spiritual practice diligently in a heretical way similar to that of a ghost.
Ma Duyi didn't sleep either. She was a ghost. She practiced at night and got twice the result with half the effort. At this moment, she lit a lamp on the table and kept accounts on the abacus. She spent money like water on the two water and land conferences and the Zhoutian Jiao. Fortunately, the person named Zhu Lian
The rickety old man sent two Grain Rain coins. Once, Zhu Lian came in person and met with them. He smiled, looked kind, and talked very well. The second time, he entrusted a young man named Dong Shuijing to send them.
Come to Yunlou City and hand it over to the three of them.
Ma Duyi is wearing the talisman fox skin of the Xu family in Qingfeng City, and her appearance is moving.
Gu Can stood outside the door, patted his clothes to dissipate some of the alcohol smell, knocked on the door gently, walked into the house, poured himself a cup of tea, sat opposite Ma Duyi, and Zeng Tie sat on the bench between the two of them.
superior.
Ma Duyi didn't even raise his head, "The officials in the General's Mansion are not greedy for money compared to the state and county officials we used to have. Except for a little money wastage, there is almost nothing to enrich their own pockets."
Gu Can said calmly: "Aren't you greedy for money? First, you don't have the guts to do things under the nose of General Guan, so you don't dare not be careless. Second, you are destined to have a bright future. It is not worthwhile to lose your official career for money. Naturally, you need to become a high official first before making money.
With a lot of money, how can one become an auxiliary official of General Guan without such brains? However, there are indeed some civil servants among them who do not seek wealth, and this will be the case in the future."
Ma Duyi stretched and Gu Can handed him a cup of tea.
Naturally, even Ma Duyi would no longer feel the slightest awkwardness after getting along day and night. As for Zeng Ye, he had already received the teacup handed to him by Gu Can.
Gu Can smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."
Ma Duyi drank the tea in one gulp, rubbed his wrists, and said in high spirits, "I finally have some free time to pick up the leaks! Next, I want to visit the countries around Shujian Lake! I want to go to Shihao Country and Meiglai Country!"
Gu Can reminded: "I will give you the peace and quiet sign later. When visiting these Great Li vassal states, your general route should be as close as possible to the Dacheng pass where the Great Li garrison is. If you have trouble, you can seek help.
.But in normal times, it is best not to show the "Nothing" card to avoid the hatred of many monks who have subjugated the country."
Ma Duyi rolled his eyes and said: "Mom, are you bothered or not? Do you need you to teach me these simple principles? I can travel with Mr. Chen earlier than you!"
Gu Can didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Then I'll go and rest first. Socializing in the wine club is the most tiring."
Gu Can left the side room of the house and went to the study on the other side of the main house. On the table were the important ghost weapons that the accountant had borrowed from the secret warehouse on Qingxia Island, the "Prison" Yama Palace, and the
Qingxia Island is dedicated to the imitation Liuli Pavilion that Yu Hui sold to the accountant. Compared with the one in prison, this Liuli Pavilion only has twelve rooms, among which eleven of them were all monks of the fifth realm during their lifetimes.
The devil has a very deep obsession. After all these years, there are still about half of the residents.
Gu Can sat on the chair, staring at the Hell Palace, immersed in it, and his mind was as small as a mustard seed, just like Qingxia Island is to the entire Shujian Lake, "Gu Can"'s soul was in it, and he was willing to use the water and land Dharma Assembly and
There are more than two hundred ghosts and ghosts that have left the Zhoutian Dajiao. Most of these ghosts have come one after another and their wishes have been fulfilled. There are also some who no longer care about this life and hope to be reborn in the next life and live in a different way.
But there are still ghosts and ghosts who choose to stay in this prison, day after day, year after year, cursing and cursing him, the chief culprit. Many of them, including the accountant, also viciously cursed him.
But even so, Gu Can still followed the agreement with that person. Instead of beating any ghost to ashes, he still had to go to the Hell Palace and the Imitation Liuli Pavilion every once in a while to throw in immortal money.
Let them maintain a little aura so they don't turn into evil spirits.
Gu Can exited the prison and turned his mind to Liuli Pavilion. He walked past the houses one by one. The house was pitch black and there was no sight. Only when the vicious ghosts stood at the door, Gu Can could look at them.
At this moment, a female ghost in white clothes stood at the door with a blank expression. Even though the two sides were only one foot apart, she still had no intention of doing anything.
Because before Liuli Pavilion was handed over to Gu Can, they had an agreement with the insignificant accounting clerk. In the future, Gu Can would enter Liuli Pavilion and kill people for revenge. No problem, but you would be responsible for the consequences. There was only one chance.
Back then, none of the eleven evil creatures chose to take action. Now, two of them have their own desires and have chosen to leave the world completely. One of them asked Gu Can to promise to take care of his family for at least a hundred years, and he must be rich and powerful, and not have a big family.
Disaster. Gu Can agreed. The other one asked Gu Can to give her a direct disciple, a magic weapon, to ensure that the disciple would be among the fifth middle realm, and not to restrict the disciple's practice. Gu Can could not have any sinister intentions.
Gu Can also agreed, but he had to pay for the Dharma treasure first, but Gu Can could secretly help her disciple with his cultivation path.
There are three others who choose to attach themselves to Gu Can and serve as ghost generals, which is equivalent to the lowest level of worship at the top of Gu Can's mountain in the future. The money and status promotion path required for future cultivation will be determined according to the size of their future achievements. One of them is the earliest
The old ghost who left the imitation Liulic Pavilion and helped Ma Duyi pick up leaks in his palms and eyes now no longer comes to the Liulic Pavilion to practice often, and he just works as the steward of the three people's treasury.
Gu Can mentally exited Liuli Pavilion, closed his eyes and rested his mind, seeming to be sleeping but not sleeping.
Over there in the wing, Ma Duyi and Zeng Ye were still sitting at the same table.
Ma Duyi is still looking forward to the future adventures in the lower mountains and thinking about his current possessions and small treasury.
Zeng Ye was about to speak but stopped, and didn't want to get up and leave.
Ma Duyi asked in confusion: "Is something wrong?"
Zeng Ye asked: "What are your plans for the future?"
Ma Duyi was stunned for a moment, "What are your plans?"
Zeng Ye hesitated for a moment, "I heard that some of the monks on Zhuchai Island will move to Mr. Chen's hometown. I also want to leave Shujian Lake."
Ma Duyi frowned and said: "Isn't it good now? Now it's not the Shujian Lake of the past. Life and death can't be controlled by one's own. Now Shujian Lake has changed. Look, so many wild cultivators in the mountains and rivers have become the genealogy masters of the Zhenjing Sect.
, of course, they are of high level, most of them are from the big island owners, and they cannot compare to the unknown people like you Zeng Ye. But in fact, if you are willing to open this mouth and ask Gu Can to help you clear the relationship and open up the door, maybe in a few days
After that, you Zeng Ye will be a ghost cultivator of Zhenjing Sect. Even if you don’t go to Zhenjing Sect, you Zengye can just practice with peace of mind. After all, we have a good relationship with Chishuicheng General Mansion, Zeng Ye, so in Shujian Lake, you
It’s actually very stable.”
Zeng Ye lowered his head, "I'm really afraid of Gu Can."
Ma Duyi laughed and scolded: "Look at your potential!"
After Zeng Ye left, Ma Duyi fell into deep thought.
Gu Can looks more and more like the accountant, but Ma Duyi knows it well, it's just likeness, nothing more.
So actually Ma Duyi is also afraid of Gu Can.
In the General's Mansion located in Fan's house in Chishui City, General Guan Yiran was still burning the light in the study to deal with government affairs. After a knock on the door, Guan Yiran closed a secret book and said, "Come in."
The monk named Yu Shanfang, who was accompanying the army, stepped across the threshold generously, picked a chair and sat down, leaned back on the chair, burped, and said with a smile: "This is a great meal of wine, it's great! The man named Gu
Little bastard, he's not very young, he's a real man when it comes to drinking, and his skill at persuading him to drink is even better. Damn it, I and my two brothers drank it to him. I had agreed in advance that this kid would lie under the table and spin around in circles. I never thought of drinking.
While we were drinking, the three of us began to fight among ourselves. There were nearly twenty people at two large tables, and it was best to go out standing. Only I and the boy were left, and the boy even carried several people back to his residence."
Guan Yiran asked: "What do you think of that young man?"
Yu Shanfang said: "My ears were calloused by the rumors about Qingxia Island and this guy before, but after getting along with him for this year, it's not the case at all!"
Guan Yiran nodded and said nothing more.
Yu Shanfang didn't bother to think about it anymore. This rough man's military career didn't have so many twists and turns. Anyway, it was about Yi Ran, who had been through life and death for many years, and he was worried about it.
Guan Yiran asked: "Yu Shanfang, I plan to get closer to the young man named Dong Shuijing in Longquan County, and I plan to help him connect with my family to expand some small businesses."
Yu Shanfang said depressedly: "Why are you talking to me about this? I can't be an accountant, and I can't be a lackey who can't visit the home. I can make a deal with you, don't let me pawn for that Dong Shuijing."
Attendant, I am a serious monk who follows the army of Da Li. That pitted iron armor with talismans is my wife. If you dare to ask me to take off my armor and seek some bullshit wealth, but I hate taking away my wife. Be careful, I will kick you to death.
!”
Guan Yiran looked as normal and said: "The road to wealth at the foot of the mountain, water transportation has been the water flowing with silver since ancient times. If it is replaced by the mountain, it is the ferry of the Immortal Family. In all secular dynasties, as long as there is water transportation in the country, the ranking of the officials in charge is not low.
All of them are feudal officials with little reputation but with real power. Now our Dali imperial court is about to open up a new yamen, which will be in charge of the Yizhou ferry route and many ferries. The chief official is only one rank lower than the minister of household affairs. Now the imperial court
Everyone has already begun to fight for seats. My Guan family has three seats. I can ask for the lowest seat. This is what I deserve. No one inside or outside the family can fault it."
Speaking of this, Guan Yiran asked: "Yu Shanfang, I don't want you to be disarmed and return to the countryside. That will only make you miserable. I don't understand you yet? I just want to take this opportunity to send you to that house."
Xinyamen, from now on, you will be in the light and Dong Shuijing in the dark. You will help each other. If you get promoted, he will make a fortune. Don’t worry, everything is clean. You can treat it as my help. How about it?"
Yu Shanfang said gloomily: "I don't care about people who are not official, so forget it and give this opportunity to others."
Guan Yiran asked: "Do you really want to die on the battlefield?"
