Chapter 262 All three of them are destined to me
After the young officials left, the few of them had time to wander around the capital.
After walking around like this, I realized that Beijing is indeed the capital.
Runze County in Qinzhou is also a big city, and Yi County in Huizhou is also a prosperous place, but it is far behind the capital city.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of area and population, the capital is more than ten times larger than Runze and Yixian. It has gathered all the power and money in the world to create this most good city in the world.
There is a bustle here that the third senior brother has always wanted to see, and I don’t know if he has already come to see it. It also has the sleepless spring breeze that the seventh senior brother has dreamed of, so I don’t know how long he will have to wait.
At this time, the three of them were walking on the street. Two Taoists and a warrior wearing a bamboo hat were already eye-catching enough, but behind them were a white fox and a colorful raccoon, all taking cheerful little steps.
, not only followed him obediently, but also turned around curiously to look around, attracting the attention of many people.
"Here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything."
Luo Monk pointed to the sedan in front, the carriage and a carriage with a big drum on its head, as well as the man running on the road carrying a food box, and said to the two bumpkins who had just arrived in the capital:
"You don't need to walk when you go out. You can rent a car or a sedan chair. There are also drum-carts. The money is calculated according to the distance. Every time you walk a mile, the drum on the roof will be beaten, and the money will be calculated once every time.
"When you wake up in the morning, someone will bring you hot water.
“If you don’t want to cook and don’t want to go out, even if it’s the middle of the night, someone will deliver the food to your home.”
Whether they were real country bumpkin or fake country bumpkin, the two brothers and sisters were a little surprised for a moment.
It's just that Lin Jue was impressed, while the junior sister was dull.
Luo Monk glanced at them, finally showed a smile, and laughed: "I was so surprised when I first came here. It seems that this place is not the same world as my hometown."
He paused for a moment:
"But as time went by, I realized that it was still the same world, just with some whitewashing. These things only belonged to the rich and powerful in the city. Within fifty miles of leaving the city, they returned to their original shape. Even the people there were not necessarily better than the folks in my hometown.
Live a good life, the prosperity here is all due to their support."
"Gong Luo has some insights." Lin Jue said without making any comments, but just asked, "The capital is so expensive. Can those strange people and strangers in Juxian Mansion survive on the two taels of silver per month?"
"How do you say this..."
Luo Gong thought for a moment and then said:
"If you are an ordinary person who can see ghosts, or a drunkard who is too poor to be afraid of ghosts, you are already down and out, and the two taels of silver you get for free is already a gift. If you are an expert in Juxian Mansion, no one
He lives on these two taels of silver. No matter whether this 'master' is real or fake."
Lin Jue was already very familiar with him and did not hide anything. He smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Master Luo, please give me some advice."
Luo Monk and his junior sister both looked at him.
Originally, I didn’t know what the use of the silver was, especially for the younger junior sister. I also didn’t know why the second senior brother would take the initiative to hand over the silver to the younger senior brother. I just knew that he would give it with the second senior brother. After the fight with the Dragon King, no matter the younger junior sister or Luo Monk,
Everyone knew it, and it was probably related to the Lingyuan Pill.
The Lingyuan Pill that day was fake.
But of course there is a real Lingyuan Pill.
So Luo Monk said directly:
"The two taels of silver that enter Juxian Mansion is just a basic offering. The most important thing is to get in touch with the government and the court, as well as with those high-ranking officials, so there are many ways to get rich.
"But there are only three types in total -
“One is to subjugate demons;
“The second is to follow the army to fight against thieves;
"The third is to please people."
Luo Gong paused as he spoke:
"Nowadays, in the capital, most people use the third method:
"For example, there is Master Feng who can lead people into the paradise world. It is said that the bliss is endless and one does not want to come back;
"For example, there is a Master Yin who is good at performing spells to amuse the powerful. Sometimes when the emperor receives foreign guests, he will be invited to perform in grand scenes, which can be regarded as a real skill;
“For example, some people who are good at calculations, or those who are not good at calculations but have skills, can also share people’s worries and give them advice, which can also be considered as a favor:
"Another example is someone who knows how to make elixirs...
"In this way, the princes, nobles and even the royal family will naturally regard you as an immortal master. Every time they meet, they will naturally give you yellow and white things or precious things. They will also give you gifts during every year and festival.
The carriages, horses, maids and servants in the house are not surprising.
"..."
The three of them were walking on the street, talking about things that ordinary people couldn't possibly know.
Occasionally, when someone hears a few words, they are extremely surprised.
Lin Jue thought for a moment and realized that he knew all three of these things, but he only asked: "How to subjugate demons and eliminate them?"
"Taoist Master, don't worry about this. What Juxian Mansion lacks the most is experts in subjugating demons. When there are ghosts and ghosts in the capital and surrounding areas, people will come to Juxian Mansion to invite people." Luo Monk said with a smile, "
When the time comes, the Taoist priest doesn’t even have to take the initiative to fight for it, just don’t hide, haha, it will come naturally.”
"It has to be Mr. Luo..."
While walking, I bought two hens and some chicks, which I carried in my hand and put in a simple rattan basket.
"Okay, I've visited the capital and bought your chickens. After tomorrow, I will be stationed at Juxian Mansion, which means I have settled down in the capital, and you can go back." Lin Jue said to his junior sister.
"Let me see where you live!" said the junior sister, "I want to go to the city to attend a show, so I can come find you!"
"Can."
"but……"
There was a little worry on the little junior sister's face:
"I heard from the official that there are many heavenly masters and immortal masters in Juxian Mansion in the capital. Luo Gong also said that there are some powerful ones among them. Senior brother, please don't have conflicts with others casually in the capital."
"Haha!" Lin Jue smiled. It was her turn to care about herself, but she also replied, "Don't worry, I have what I want."
"In case there is a conflict or there are powerful monsters, remember to ask Fuyao to call me on Maple Mountain." The junior sister said, "I will practice hard on the mountain and become very powerful."
"Let me find you a Five Elements Spiritual Technique first."
"good!"
The junior sister is still worried.
Walk back to the inn like this.
Unexpectedly, the young official was already waiting at the inn.
As soon as he saw a few people, he came forward to greet them.
"I've met the Taoist priest."
"Is something wrong?"
"The Taoist Priest's name tag has been prepared and his identity has been registered. The only thing left is where the Taoist Priest lives." The young official said, "Master Yang respects the Taoist Priest very much and is embarrassed to leave those small courtyards.
I gave it to the Taoist Priest to live in, thinking that as a divine figure like the Taoist Priest, only several heavenly masters who are also immortals can live with the Taoist Priest."
"Those who practice Taoism don't care about these things." Lin Jue said with a smile, "To be honest, we often sleep in the wilderness along the way. It's enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
"How can that be done? The Taoist priest is willing to sleep with the heaven and the earth. It is the Taoist priest's freedom, but we cannot let the Taoist priest do this." The young official said, "Master Yang, the doctor, and Yuanwailang have considered it several times, and it is okay to have three large houses.
There are two rooms for people to stay in, and now they are occupied by two heavenly masters. It seems that they have some fate with the Taoist priest, so I would like to ask the Taoist priest to choose one of the two rooms."
"Tell me and listen."
Lin Jue exchanged glances with Luo Gong and junior sister.
"One of them was the mansion of a first-rank official from the previous dynasty. It occupied a very wide area. There were gardens and lakes in the mansion. It was very quiet. After the house was confiscated, it became the property of Juxian Mansion. After some
It was renovated and became a place for the most powerful heavenly masters to live. The two people living there now are both famous heavenly masters and gods in Juxian Mansion, one is Fan Tianshi and the other is Pan Gong."
The young official quietly glanced at Lin Jue:
"Everyone in the capital knows that Fan Tianshi has the ability to reach the heavens. Previously, Fan Tianshi also took the initiative to ask for help to kill the Dragon King in Runze County, but the Taoist priest beat him to it. It was a fate."
"Master Fan Tian..."
Lin Jue suddenly smiled, but he did not agree immediately, but asked again: "Who is Mr. Pan?"
The junior sister next to me is also very concerned about this.
After all, this is senior brother's neighbor from now on.
Whether senior brother will live well here in the future, whether he will conflict with others or get into trouble depends on these neighbors.
"This man is also very impressive! It is said that he is the reincarnation of the Weishui River God. He knows everything about the Weishui River and the coming and going of the tides." The young official said, "He only entered Juxian Mansion two years ago."
"..."
When the three of them heard this, they all looked at each other.
Isn't this a coincidence?
The River God of Wei River was reincarnated...
Regardless of whether it is true or false, just treat it as true.
Wouldn't that be...
Isn't he the one who was killed by the Dragon King?
The young official kept his eyes on Lin Jue.
However, he saw that the Taoist priest not only had no respect or fear after hearing about Master Fan Tian, but also had a relaxed look on his face when he heard about the reincarnation of Pan Gong, the God of the River River in Wei Dynasty. This made him confused and solemn.
"Where is the other room? Who lives in it?"
"Oh!" The official responded quickly, "The other room is slightly smaller. It was the residence of a general in the early years of this dynasty. It has been haunted ever since. It cannot be removed no matter what. Even the Star Observation Palace cannot be removed. Few people dare to
I went to live there until Master Nan Tian came and moved into that mansion. There were no such hauntings anymore. Now only Master Nan Tian lives there."
"Can't we get rid of the Star Observation Palace?"
"Can't get rid of it."
"It sounds like this Nantian Master is very capable..."
The young officials were a little puzzled when they heard this. Could it be that Fan Tianshi, who dared to eliminate the demon king, and Pan Gong, who was reincarnated as the God of Wei Shui, had no ability?
But I had to answer honestly:
"Master Nan Tian is very capable and good at eliminating demons. Previously in Jiangnan, he had done this alone for seventy-seven and forty-nine days. He invited the Nine Heavens True God and the two generals of Thunder and Fire to finally eradicate a big demon."
"He does have some abilities!" Lin Jue nodded and said, "But what is the fate between this Nantian Master and me?"
The junior sister also stared at him with great concern.
"The official hasn't finished speaking yet. After that, Master Nantian became famous and was invited by the Ministry of Rites to enter Beijing and enter the Juxian Mansion. When he passed by Huizhou on his way north, he noticed that there was also a demon king in Huizhou, so he set up a platform in Lin County.
, this whole practice lasted for nearly ninety-nine and eighty-one days, and finally one night, among the heavy mountains next to Lin County, there was thunder like drums, lightning and thunder, for three days, and there were no more monsters after that."
The little junior sister was stunned again.
I just heard the young official say:
"That demon king is called the Netherworld Demon King in legend, and is also called the Corpse Tiger King. His abilities reach the heavens..."
After the words fell, no one spoke for a long time.
The junior sister looked at Lin Jue.
Lin Jue looked at the junior sister again.
They don’t know anything else, but they know nothing about the Corpse Tiger King——
It was true that the gods were destroying demons, but was it invited by the Nantian Master?
"Oh……"
Lin Jue couldn't help but smile.
Of these three heavenly masters, not only two are predestined with me, but all three are predestined with me.
This Juxian Mansion is really interesting.
Just when I thought of this, I heard a young official say:
"Nowadays, it is said that there is a demon king in the northwest of Qinzhou. He is called the Leopard King and the Jinhua King. The Nantian Master did not hesitate and went to the northwest again."
"He went to find the Leopard King?"
This made Lin Jue confused.
The young official thought that the Taoist Master had heard his warning and said with a smile: "As the Taoist Master thought, if the Taoist Master chooses to live with Master Nan Tian, he will live alone in that house."
Lin Jue fell into thinking.
Finally he shook his head:
"That's all. I just came to the capital and I don't understand many things. Let's live with Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong. I can have a company to talk to on weekdays and ask them for advice when I need something."
"Of course you can." The young official said, looking at him quietly and reminding him tactfully, "Although Fan Tianshi thinks very highly of himself and is unwilling to live with ordinary people and strangers, only Pan Gong can barely get his approval, but the Taoist priest also has the ability to be a fairy.
, I think I can get along well with Master Fan Tian, but Mr. Pan’s temper is not very good, so I need to ask the Taoist priest to take care of him."
After saying that, he still looked at Lin Jue quietly.
But I saw the Taoist smiling and waving his hands, and just said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The junior sister beside him also looked calm.
The protector stood motionless and could not see his face clearly.
The young official had no choice but to agree.
…
Chapter completed!
