Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 713 Life Money

Chapter 713 Life Money

After the Gusu Grand Sacrifice, the wind stopped and the rain ceased, and the sky was plunged into a brief period of clarity.

During the grand sacrifice, people's thoughts, enthusiasm and support are at their strongest, and the gods are clearly responding. All demons, ghosts, evil spirits and monsters have to stay in peace to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves.

That night, the King of Wu did not dream of Wutong God again and slept well.

Although he did not dream of Wutong God, Gong Mengbi did.

In Ma Qingji’s dream at night, his soul flew into the darkness and went straight to Yue Mansion.

Wei Dapan, the judge of the Yin-Yang Division, smiled and said, "Mingfu, the Lord wants you to see him."

He followed Wei Dapan to meet the Lord of the Mansion, who was smiling and had a jade box on the table. When he came, the Lord of the Mansion reached out and knocked on the jade box, and the jade box opened. Five chaotic water balls-like five-way spirit gods were shining, and talismans were flashing in the middle.

This is the shrine of the five generals.

The Lord of the Mansion said, "Mingfu, Mingfu, you really have some of the cunning of a fox fairy."

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "This is what I got. The Lord should praise me for my broad mind."

The Lord of the Mansion also laughed and said, "What a broad mind you have. You have done well. You should keep up the good work."

There seemed to be a buzzing sound in Gong Mengbi's head, and then he fell back into the dream and woke up from the dream.

His mind platform twitched slightly, and the Five Mountains Spiritual Gods emitted five-colored light. In an instant, he felt that he was gradually able to borrow more divine power from the Five Mountains.

This is not only a commendation from the Lord of the Mansion, but also a common appreciation from the Five Mountains.

The majesty of the Five Sacred Mountains' spiritual appearances has become an extremely important component of Gong Mengbi's combat effectiveness.

"Your Excellency is generous."

Gong Mengbi sighed. Without the Lord's help, how could he be admired by the Five Mountains with just a sacrifice?

After a good night's sleep, the King of Wu summoned the King of Linchuan the next day. He praised Ma Qingji for his broad knowledge and the King of Linchuan for his moderation in handling affairs, which made the King of Linchuan very happy.

King Linchuan said: "This Master Ma attained enlightenment in Xima Mountain in the previous dynasty. He had been practicing in seclusion before. He came out of seclusion a few years ago and has lived for hundreds of years. He is also a master of Taoism."

King Wu still remembered Xima Mountain and said, "Xima Mountain, as I remember, is an evil place that breeds evil spirits?"

King Linchuan smiled bitterly and said, "Master Ma has regained control of Xima Mountain and now does not allow his disciples to travel down the mountain without permission. We used to have a good relationship with the head of Xima Mountain, but that has now ended."

King Wu was more open-minded and said, "Raising evil spirits, but I don't know how to say it. Master Ma is the one with real abilities. You should try to win him over."

King Linchuan naturally agreed.

Prince Linchuan felt very happy and when he faced Ma Qingji again, he became even more courteous.

Ma Qingji just took it easy and even reminded him: "I have solved a big problem for your Highness, and I can still protect your Highness in the palace for three years."

King Linchuan was shocked and asked, "Why only three years?"

Ma Qingji returned the scroll to King Linchuan and said, "Your Highness promised. I have now solved the problem of Wutong. This is fair."

Prince Linchuan knew how difficult this matter was. Master Shi and Monk Jishan confirmed the value of the information and further proved that Ma Qingji was a real talent.

But this nugget of gold has grown legs and wants to run away. How can this be possible?

King Linchuan said nothing, and even laughed, saying, "Your Excellency has solved my father's great concern, so it is fair. I hope Your Excellency will give me more guidance in the future."

After bidding farewell to Ma Qingji, he sent a letter to Taoist Zhang that night, asking him about the progress of his search for the corpse refining master and when he could subdue Ma Qingji.

The letter was swallowed by a crow, which then spread its wings and flew southwest.

Just as it flew out of Gusu, the crow exploded with a snap, blood splattered, and fell into the woods not far from Gusu.

Taoist Zhang's Rakshasa ghost body was crawling on the ground, kneeling at the feet of a tall and Tibetan young man. The young man had a pale face and a pale body.

Taoist Zhang flew into the air, picked up the letter floating in the air, wiped the blood off it, and presented it to the evil star in front of him.

The young man took a look at what was written on the letter, and then handed it back to Taoist Zhang, saying, "Take a look."

Taoist Zhang smiled awkwardly after reading it and said, "Senior Chen, the King of Linchuan is trying to subdue the zombie. Senior is proficient in the method of refining corpses. Why don't you go to Gusu with me to seek a career?"

The young man nodded and said, "That's fine. I, Chen Jingrui, have plenty of skills. As long as you can afford the price, I can sell it to you."

"You offended me, and you haven't paid me the ransom yet, so let's get it back as well."

On the second day, Taoist Zhang secretly brought the man to Gusu and asked King Linchuan for help.

Prince Linchuan came in a hurry and saw Taoist Zhang with shackles on his hands, kneeling in front of a young man. He looked at the young man again and saw that he had an extraordinary appearance, but there was a kind of indifference in his eyes.

King Linchuan said, "Sir, this is my retainer. I don't know how I have offended you. Please let him go."

The young man asked, "Are you the King of Linchuan?"

King Linchuan smiled and said, "That's right."

The young man nodded and said, "That's right. Your retainer ate the man I was going to capture to refine into a corpse. I thought his rakshasa bones were barely usable, so I planned to kill him and refine him into a rakshasa corpse ghost. But he said that you could pay for his life, and that you were recruiting people to deal with the zombies, so I brought him here."

Prince Linchuan looked at Taoist Zhang.

Taoist Zhang nodded.

King Linchuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

But when he really took Taoist Zhang away, his expression was really ugly.

Back at the palace, Prince Linchuan looked at Taoist Zhang expressionlessly, which made Taoist Zhang's whole body hairy. He asked, "Your Highness?"

King Linchuan said: "I wonder why you are worth all that gold."

Taoist Zhang was also panicking. Chen Jingrui's high words and his severe blow to Prince Linchuan made him feel very bad, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the gold is a small matter, but the matter of our master is a big one."

The Prince of Linchuan was indeed distracted and asked, "Can this man really subdue Ma Qingji?"

Taoist Zhang shuddered and said, "I ate a talent that he valued by mistake, so he captured me. I have been traveling with him and have seen his abilities. He has a flying corpse under his command, and his magical powers are even greater than Ma Qingji. In my opinion, he will definitely succeed."

"Besides, this man loves money like his life, and he loves gold the most. As long as Your Highness offers a reward, he will definitely be able to subdue Ma Qingji and bring him to Your Highness."

King Linchuan pondered for a while, then looked at Taoist Zhang and said, "You know this matter must not fail."

Taoist Zhang said, "I am willing to guarantee it with my life!"

King Linchuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, go tell him that as long as he surrenders Ma Qingji and brings him to me, I can give him 100,000 taels of gold."

Taoist Zhang said, "I will not fail in my mission."

The next day, Taoist Zhang brought Chen Jingrui's reply: "Your Highness, he wants two hundred thousand taels."

King Linchuan's face was trembling, his eyelids were twitching, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Promise him."
