Chapter 260: All Three Have a Connection with Me
After the young official left, the few had time to look around the capital.
Only after looking around did they know that the capital is worthy of being the capital.
Runze County in Qinzhou is also a big city, and Yixian in Huizhou is also a prosperous place, but compared to the capital, it is far behind.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of area and population, the capital is more than ten times that of Runze and Yixian, and it gathers the power and money of the whole world, which created this city of the world's first goodness.
Here is the bustle that the Third Third Third Shixiong has always wanted to see. I don't know if he has already seen it. There is also the sleepless spring night that the Seventh Third Third Shixiong dreams of, but I don't know when he will have to wait.
At this time, the three were walking on the street, two Daoists and a martial artist wearing a bamboo hat, which was already eye-catching enough, but behind them followed a white fox and a colored cat, both taking happy little steps, following obediently and looking around curiously, attracting the attention of many people for a while.
"Being here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything."
Luo Seng pointed to the sedan chairs, carriages, and a carriage with a big drum on its head in front, as well as men running with food boxes on the road, and said to the two country bumpkins who had just arrived in the capital:
"You don't have to walk when you go out. You can rent a carriage or a sedan chair. There is also a distance-recording drum carriage, which calculates money according to the distance. Every time you walk a mile, the drum on the top of the carriage will be knocked, and one sound counts as one payment.
"When you get up in the morning, someone will send you hot water.
"If you don't want to cook or go out, even in the middle of the night, someone will send food to your house."
The senior brother and junior sister, whether they were real country bumpkins or fake country bumpkins, were all surprised for a while.
It's just that Lin Jue was admiring, and his junior sister was sluggish.
Luo Seng glanced at them and finally showed a smile, laughing: "I was just as surprised when I first came here. This place doesn't seem to be the same world as my hometown."
After a pause:
"But after a long time, you will know that it is still the same world, just with some whitewashing. These things only belong to the powerful in the city. If you go out of the city for less than fifty miles, you will return to your original shape. Even the people there don't necessarily live better than the folks in my hometown. The prosperity here is all supported by their supply."
"Lord Luo has insight," Lin Jue said, without comment, but asked again, "The capital is so expensive. Can the strange people and scholars in the Ju Xian Fu live on this monthly salary of two taels of silver?"
"How should I put it..."
Luo Gong thought for a while before saying:
"If it's those ordinary people who can see ghosts, or the drunkards who are so poor that they are not afraid of ghosts, they are already down and out, and the two taels of silver they get for nothing is already a gift. If it's a high-ranking person in the Ju Xian Fu, no one lives on these two taels of silver. Regardless of whether this 'high-ranking person' is true or false."
Lin Jue was already very familiar with him, so he didn't hide it and said with a wry smile: "Lord Luo, please give me some advice."
Luo Gong and his junior sister both looked at him.
Originally, they didn't know what he used the silver for, especially his junior sister, who didn't know why the Second Third Third Shixiong would take the initiative to give silver to the Third Third Shixiong. She only knew that she gave it with the Second Third Third Shixiong. After fighting the Long Wang, both his junior sister and Luo Gong knew that it probably had something to do with the Spirit Origin Pill.
The Spirit Origin Pill that day was fake.
But naturally, there are real Spirit Origin Pills.
So Luo Gong said directly:
"Entering the Ju Xian Fu, two taels of silver is just a basic offering. The most important thing is to get methods to contact the government and the imperial court, and to contact those dignitaries. Therefore, there are many ways to get money.
"But if you count them, there are only three ways—
"First, eliminate demons;
"Second, follow the army to eliminate thieves;
"Third, please people."
Luo Gong paused:
"In the capital today, the third method is used by the most people:
"For example, there is a Master Feng who can lead people into the Pure Land. It is said that the Pure Land is endless and you don't want to come back;
"For example, there is a Master Yin who is good at performing magical arts to entertain the powerful. Sometimes when the emperor receives foreign guests, he will also invite him to perform, which is quite impressive, and it can be considered a real skill;
"For example, some who can calculate, or those who can't calculate but have skills, can also share worries for others and give ideas to others, which is also pleasing:
"And for example, some can refine pills...
"In this way, those princes, nobles, and even the royal family will naturally regard you as an immortal high-ranking person. Every time they see you, there will naturally be yellow and white things or precious things given, and there will be gifts during festivals, and even gifts of mansions, carriages, maids, and servants, which is not surprising.
"..."
The three were walking on the street, but they were talking about things that ordinary people could not know at all.
Occasionally, someone heard a few words and was very surprised.
Lin Jue thought about it. He could do all three, but he just asked: "How do you eliminate demons?"
"Daoist, don't worry about this. The Ju Xian Fu lacks high-ranking people to eliminate demons the most. When there are demons and ghosts in the capital and surrounding areas, someone will naturally come to the Ju Xian Fu to ask for people," Luo Gong laughed. "At that time, the Daoist doesn't even need to fight for it actively. Just don't hide, haha, and you will naturally get it."
"It has to be Lord Luo..."
Walking and walking, he bought two hens, held them in his hands, and bought some chicks, which were packed in a simple rattan basket.
"Okay, I've looked around the capital. You've bought your chickens. After tomorrow, I will affiliate with the Ju Xian Fu, and I will have settled down in the capital. You can go back," Lin Jue said to his junior sister.
"I'll see where you live!" his junior sister said. "I'll come to find you when I come to the city for the market!"
"Okay."
"But..."
His junior sister had a bit of worry on her face:
"I heard from that official that there are many Heavenly Masters and Immortal Masters in the Ju Xian Fu, and Lord Luo also said that there are some powerful ones inside. Third Third Shixiong, don't get into conflict with people in the capital."
"Haha!" Lin Jue laughed. It was her turn to care about him, but he also answered, "Don't worry, I have my own pursuits."
"If there is a conflict, or if there is a powerful yaoguai, remember to call Fuyao to go to Maple Mountain to call me," his junior sister said. "I will practice hard on the mountain and become very powerful."
"Let me find you a Five Elements Spiritual Art first."
"Good!"
His junior sister was still worried.
So they walked back to the inn.
But unexpectedly, the young official was already waiting at the inn.
Seeing the few, he greeted them.
"I have seen the Daoist."
"Is there anything?"
"The Daoist's name tag is ready, and the identity has been registered in the book. The only thing is where the Daoist lives," the young official said. "Chief Yang respects the Daoist very much and is embarrassed to give those small courtyards to the Daoist to live in. He thinks that a person like the Daoist, an immortal figure, can only live with the few Heavenly Masters who are also immortals."
"A cultivator doesn't care about these," Lin Jue laughed. "To tell you the truth, along the way, we often sleep in the wilderness. It's enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
"How can that be? It is the Daoist's freedom to be willing to sleep with heaven and earth, but we cannot let the Daoist do so," the young official said. "Chief Yang, the physician, and the vice minister considered it several times. There are three large mansions that can accommodate people. Among them, two are lived in by two Heavenly Masters respectively. Speaking of which, they all have some connection with the Daoist. Please choose one of these two."
"Let's hear it."
Lin Jue exchanged glances with Luo Gong and his junior sister.
"One of them is the mansion of a first-rank official of the previous dynasty. It covers a wide area. There are gardens and lakes in the mansion. It is very quiet. After being confiscated, it became the property of the Ju Xian Fu. After some reconstruction, it became a place for the most powerful Heavenly Masters to live. The two living there now are both famous Heavenly Masters and gods in the Ju Xian Fu, one is Fan Tian Shi Fan, and the other is Lord Pan."
The young official secretly aimed at Lin Jue:
"The capital knows that Fan Tian Shi Fan has the ability to reach the sky. Previously, Fan Tian Shi Fan also took the initiative to ask to eliminate the Long Wang in Runze County, but he was preempted by the Daoist. It can be considered a connection."
"Fan Tian Shi Fan..."
Lin Jue immediately showed a smile, but didn't agree immediately, and asked again: "Who is that Lord Pan?"
His junior sister on the side was also very concerned about this point.
After all, this is the neighbor of her senior brother in the future.
Whether her senior brother will live well here, whether he will have conflicts with others, and cause trouble, depends on these neighbors.
"This one is also very amazing! It is said that he is the reincarnation of the Wei Shui God, but he knows everything about the Wei Shui, the coming and going of the tide," the young official said. "He only entered the Ju Xian Fu two years ago."
"..."
When the three heard this, they looked at each other.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Reincarnation of the Wei Shui God...
Regardless of whether it is true or false, let's assume it is true.
Isn't that...
Isn't that the one who was harmed by the Long Wang?
The young official kept aiming at Lin Jue.
But seeing that this Daoist, after hearing about Fan Tian Shi Fan, didn't have any respect or fear, and after hearing about Lord Pan, the reincarnation of the Wei Shui God, he was also relaxed, which made him confused and solemn.
"What about the other one? Who lives there?"
"Oh!" The official hurriedly reacted. "The other one is slightly smaller. It was the mansion of a general in the early years of this dynasty. Later, it was haunted, and it couldn't be eliminated no matter what. Guanxing Palace couldn't eliminate it either. Few people dared to live there until Fan Tian Shi Nan came. After he moved into that mansion, there were no such hauntings. Now only Fan Tian Shi Nan lives there alone."
"Guanxing Palace couldn't eliminate it either?"
"Couldn't eliminate it."
"This Fan Tian Shi Nan sounds very capable..."
The young official was a bit puzzled when he heard this. Could it be that Fan Tian Shi Fan, who dared to eliminate yaoguai, and Lord Pan, the reincarnation of the Wei Shui God, were not capable?
But he had to answer honestly:
"Fan Tian Shi Nan is extremely capable and good at eliminating demons. Previously, when he was in the south, he practiced alone for forty-nine days, invited the Nine Heavens Righteous Gods and the Thunder and Fire Generals, and finally eliminated a great yaoguai."
"He really has some skills!" Lin Jue nodded and said, "But what connection does this Fan Tian Shi Nan have with me?"
His junior sister also stared at him very concernedly.
"I haven't finished yet. Since then, Fan Tian Shi Nan has become famous. At the request of the Ministry of Rites, he entered the capital and the Ju Xian Fu. When he passed through Huizhou on his way north, he noticed that there was also a yaoguai king in Huizhou, so he set up a platform in Lin County. This time, he practiced for eighty-one days, and finally one night, between the heavy mountains next to Lin County, the thunder was like a drum, and the lightning flashed and thundered for three days. Since then, there have been no more yaoguai..."
His junior sister was stunned again.
She only heard the young official say:
"That yaoguai king, it is said that he was called the Nether Yaoguai Monarch, also called the Corpse Tiger King, with heaven-reaching ability..."
After the words fell, no one spoke for a long time.
His junior sister looked at Lin Jue.
Lin Jue looked at his junior sister again.
He didn't know about other things, but he knew the matter of the Corpse Tiger King very well—
It is true that the gods eliminated the yaoguai, but was it invited by that Fan Tian Shi Nan?
"Heh..."
Lin Jue couldn't help but show a smile.
These three Heavenly Masters, not only two have a connection with him, but all three have a connection with him.
This Ju Xian Fu is really interesting.
Just after thinking of this, he heard the young official say:
"Now it is said that there is another yaoguai king in the northwest of Qinzhou, called the Leopard King, also called the Brocade Flower King. That Fan Tian Shi Nan didn't hesitate and went to the northwest again."
"He went to find the Leopard King?"
This made Lin Jue even more confused.
The young official thought that this Daoist had heard his reminder and smiled: "As the Daoist thinks, if the Daoist chooses to live with Fan Tian Shi Nan, he will live in that mansion alone."
Lin Jue fell into thought.
Finally, he shook his head:
"Forget it, I just arrived in the capital and there are many things I don't understand. I will live with Fan Tian Shi Fan and Lord Pan. It's good to have a companion to talk to on weekdays, and it's good to ask them for advice if there is anything."
"That is naturally possible," the young official said, and secretly aimed at him, reminding him tactfully, "Although Fan Tian Shi Fan thinks highly of himself and is unwilling to live with ordinary strange people and scholars, only Lord Pan is barely recognized by him. But the Daoist also has the ability of an immortal. I think you can get along with Fan Tian Shi Fan. It's just that Lord Pan has a bad temper, so please ask the Daoist to be more tolerant."
After finishing, he still secretly looked at Lin Jue.
But he saw the Daoist smiling and waving his hand, just saying:
"No problem, no problem."
His junior sister on the side was also calm.
The protector was standing still, unable to see his face.
The young official had to agree.
At the same time, in the largest mansion of the Ju Xian Fu, Fan Tian Shi Fan, who thought highly of himself, sat alone in the room, holding a teacup, his hands shaking uncontrollably. ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
