Chapter 262 All three of you are destined to be with me After the young official left, the few of them had time to travel around the capital. After this tour, I realized that the capital city is worthy of being the capital city. Runze County in Qinzhou is also a big city, and Yi County in Huizhou is also a prosperous place, but they are far inferior to the capital. Apart from anything else, just in terms of area and population, the capital city is more than ten times larger than Runze and Yixian. It also gathers all the power and wealth in the world, making it the best city in the world. Here is the bustle that Third Senior Brother has always wanted to see, but I don’t know if he has already seen it. There is also the sleepless nights in spring breeze that Seventh Senior Brother has always dreamed of, but I don’t know how long he will have to wait for that. At this time, three people were walking on the street, two Taoists and a warrior wearing a bamboo hat, which was already eye-catching enough. Behind them were a white fox and a colorful civet cat, both taking cheerful little steps, following closely and turning their heads curiously to look around, which attracted the attention of many people. “Here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything.” Luo Seng pointed to the sedan chair, the carriage, the carriage with a big drum on top, and the man running on the road with a food box, and said to the two bumpkins who had just arrived in the capital: “You don’t have to walk when you go out. You can rent a car or a sedan chair, or a mileage drum car. The fare is calculated according to the distance traveled. The drum on the roof of the car will be struck once every mile, and each strike counts as a fare. "When you get 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 in the middle of the night, someone will deliver food to your home." Whether the two brothers and sisters were real bumpkins or fake bumpkins, they were a little surprised for a moment. But Lin Jue was in awe, while his junior sister was stunned. Luo Seng glanced at them and finally smiled. He said, "I was also 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 you'll know after a while. It's still the same world, just embellished. These things belong only to the rich and powerful in the city. Less than fifty miles outside the city, they return to their original form. Even the people there don't necessarily live better than the folks in my hometown. The prosperity here is all due to their support." "Mr. Luo has a point." Lin Jue said, without commenting, and just asked, "The capital is so expensive, can those extraordinary people in Juxian Mansion live on the two taels of silver per month?" "How can I explain this..." Luo Gong thought for a while, then said: "If it's an ordinary person who can see ghosts, or a drunkard who is too poor to be afraid of ghosts, they are already poor and down and out, and getting two taels of silver for nothing is already a blessing. But if it's a master from Juxian Mansion, no one lives on these two taels of silver. No matter if this 'master' is real or fake." Lin Jue was already very familiar with him, so he didn't hide anything and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Luo, please give me some advice." Luo Seng and the little junior sister both looked at him. Originally, no one knew what he was going to do with the silver, especially the little junior sister. She also didn't know why the second senior brother would take the initiative to give the silver to the little senior brother. She only knew that she followed the second senior brother and gave it together. After fighting the Alligator King, both the little junior sister and Luo Seng knew it. 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 Seng said directly: "After entering the Juxian Mansion, two taels of silver is just the basic offering. The most important thing is that you can get in touch with the government and the court, and with those high-ranking officials and nobles. Therefore, there are many ways to make money. "But there are only three types - “One is to subdue demons and eliminate evil; “The second is to follow the army to fight against the enemy; “The third is to please people.” Luo Gong paused for a moment and said: "Nowadays, the third method is the most popular among the people in the capital: “For example, there is a Feng Xianshi who can lead people to the paradise. It is said that the bliss is so endless that one does not want to come back; "For example, there was a Master Yin who was good at performing magic to entertain the rich and powerful. Sometimes when the emperor received foreign guests, he would invite him to perform to liven up the occasion, and he was considered to have real skills. "For example, some people who are good at fortune-telling, or those who are not good at fortune-telling but have skills, can also help others to relieve their worries and give advice, which can also win their favor: "For example, someone can 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 valuables or precious things. They will also give you gifts during festivals. It is not surprising that they will even give you a house, carriages, maids and servants. "..." The three of them were walking on the street, talking about things that ordinary people had no way of knowing. Occasionally, someone would hear a few words and be extremely surprised. Lin Jue thought about it and realized that he could do all three of these things, but he only asked, "How do I exorcise demons and monsters?" "Master, don't worry about this. Juxian Mansion is most in need of experts who can exorcise demons and monsters. When there are demons and ghosts in the capital and the surrounding areas, people will come to Juxian Mansion to hire people." Luo Seng said with a smile, "Master, you don't even need to take the initiative to fight for it. You just need to stop hiding, and haha, it will come naturally." "It has to be Luo Gong..." As he walked, he bought two hens and some chicks, which he put in a simple wicker basket. "Okay, we've been around the capital and bought your chicken. After tomorrow, I'll be registered with Juxian Mansion and will have settled down in the capital. You can go back now." Lin Jue said to his junior sister. "Let me see where you live!" said the little sister. "I want to go to the city to attend the event so I can come and find you!" "can." "but……" The little sister looked a little worried: "I heard from that official that there are many heavenly masters and immortal masters in the Juxian Mansion in the capital. Lord Luo also said that there are some powerful ones among them. Brother, you must not easily conflict with others in the capital." "Haha!" Lin Jue smiled. It was her turn to care about him, but he also replied, "Don't worry, I have my own wishes." "If there is a conflict or a powerful monster, remember to ask Fuyao to come to Fengshan Mountain to call me." The little sister said, "I will practice hard in the mountain and become very powerful." "Let me find you a five-element spiritual method first." "it is good!" The junior sister is still worried. So walk back to the inn. 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 there anything?" "The Taoist priest's nameplate has been made, and his identity has been registered. The only thing left is where he lives." The young official said, "Director Yang admires the Taoist priest very much, and he is embarrassed to give those small courtyards to him to live in. He thinks that only a few heavenly masters who are also gods can live with him, as he is a deity like him." "People 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? The Taoist priest is willing to live with the heaven and earth, which is his freedom, but we can't let him do that." The young official said, "Master Yang, the doctor and the deputy doctor have considered it for a while, and there are three large houses that can accommodate people. Two of them are now occupied by two heavenly masters. It can be said that they have some fate with the Taoist priest, so please choose one of the two houses." "Tell me about it." Lin Jue exchanged glances with Luo Gong and his junior sister. "One of them was the residence of a first-rank official in the previous dynasty. It covers a large area, with a garden and a lake inside. It is very quiet. After the property was confiscated, it became the property of Juxian Mansion. After some reconstruction, it became a residence for the most powerful heavenly masters. The two people living there now are both famous heavenly masters in Juxian Mansion. One is Tianshi Fan, and the other is Lord Pan."
The young official glanced at Lin Jue secretly: "Everyone in the capital knows that Master Fan has supernatural powers. Previously, Master Fan had volunteered to go and kill the Alligator Dragon King in Runze County, but the Taoist priest got there first. It can be considered a matter of fate." "Master Fan..." Lin Jue smiled immediately, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked again, "Who is that Mr. Pan?" The junior sister next to her was also concerned about this. After all, this will be my neighbor from now on. Whether you can live well here in the future, and whether you will have conflicts or troubles with others, depends on these neighbors. "This guy is also very remarkable! It is said that he is the reincarnation of the god of the Weishui River. He knows everything about the Weishui River, including the coming and going of the tides." The young official said, "He entered the Juxian Mansion only two years ago." "..." When the three heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Isn't this a coincidence? The reincarnation of the Weishui River God... 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 Alligator King? The young official kept looking at Lin Jue. However, he saw that this Taoist priest not only did not show any respect or fear after hearing about Master Fan, but also looked relaxed after hearing about Mr. Pan, the reincarnation of the Weishui River God. This made him feel puzzled and solemn. "What about the other room? Who lives there?" "Oh!" The official quickly responded, "The other one is a little smaller. It was the residence of a general in the early years of this dynasty. Later, it was haunted and could not be eliminated no matter what. Even the Astronomical Palace could not get rid of it. Few people dared to live there until the Southern Heavenly Master came and lived in the mansion. Since then, there have been no such hauntings. Now only the Southern Heavenly Master lives there." "Can't we get rid of the Stargazing Palace?" "It can't be removed." "It sounds like this Nan Tianshi is very capable..." The young official was puzzled when he heard this. Could it be that Master Fan, who dared to eliminate the demon king, and Pan Gong, who was the reincarnation of the Weishui River God, had no ability? But I had to answer honestly: "Master Nan is very capable and is good at exorcising demons. Previously, when he was in Jiangnan, he performed a ritual alone for 49 days to invite the Nine Heavens Gods and the two generals of thunder and fire, and finally eliminated a big demon." "He does have some skills!" Lin Jue nodded and said, "But what is the connection between this Nan Tianshi and me?" The junior sister also stared at him with great concern. "I haven't finished yet. After that, Nan Tianshi became famous and was invited by the Ministry of Rites to enter the Juxian Palace in Beijing. When he passed Huizhou on his way north, he realized that there was also a demon king in Huizhou, so he set up a stage in Lin County. This time, the whole ritual lasted for nearly 9981 days. Finally, one night, there was a thunder like a drum between the heavy mountains next to Lin County. There were lightning and thunder for three whole days. After that, there was no more demon." The junior sister was stunned again. I only heard the young official say: "That demon king, according to legend, is called the Netherworld Demon King, also known as the Corpse Tiger King, and has extraordinary powers..." After the words were spoken, no one spoke for a long time.
The junior sister looked at Lin Jue. Lin Jue looked at his junior sister again. They didn't know about other things, but they knew the matter of the Corpse Tiger King very well. It is true that it was a god exorcising demons, but was it invited by the Southern Heavenly Master? "Ah……" Lin Jue couldn't help but smile. Among these three heavenly masters, it’s not just two that have a predestined relationship with me, it’s all three that have a predestined relationship with me. This Juxian Mansion is really interesting. Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the young official say: "Now it is said that there is a demon king in the northwest of Qinzhou, called the Leopard King, also known as the Brocade Flower King. The Southern Heavenly 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 priest had heard his reminder, and said with a smile: "As the Taoist priest thought, if the Taoist priest chooses to live with Nan Tianshi, he will live in that house alone." Lin Jue fell into deep thought. Finally, he shook his head: "Forget it. I just arrived in the capital and there are many things I don't understand. So I'll live with Master Fan and Mr. Pan. It will be good for me to have someone to talk to and to ask them questions." "Of course you can." The young official said, and then he glanced at him and reminded him tactfully, "Although Master Fan thinks highly of himself and is unwilling to live with ordinary people, only Lord Pan reluctantly gets his approval. However, the Taoist priest also has divine abilities, and I think he can get along well with Master Fan. However, Lord Pan has a bad temper, so please bear with him." After saying this, he still looked at Lin Jue secretly. But the Taoist smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The junior sister beside him also looked calm. The guard stood there motionless, and his face could not be seen clearly. The young official had no choice but to agree. …… At the same time, in the largest house in Juxian Mansion, Master Fan Tianshi, who thought highly of himself, sat alone in the room, holding a teacup with shaking hands.
