I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Chapter 1642 Uncle Cao, steamed bun banquet!

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In Kaifeng, Tokyo, in a large warehouse in the southern continent.

After the servants who came to deliver the silver cakes left, the dark void suddenly flashed with golden light. Then, under the shining of the golden light, a passage was twisted out, and seven figures flew out from it.

At this moment, seven magic rings appeared out of thin air and fell accurately on their heads, directly sealing the immortal cultivation of Tieguai Li, Zhongli Quan, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, and Han Xiangzi.

As for Qin Yao...

The divine ring that fell on his head also released the law of sealing, but when this law passed through his soul and fell into the kingdom of God, the Jade Disc of Creation suddenly flashed with light and actually sucked the law in, devouring it completely.

What’s even more exaggerated is that from beginning to end, there was no resistance to this law at all.

This non-resistance also resulted in Qin Yao himself not being affected at all, and he remained in his prime...

"The power of heaven is so terrifying."

At this moment, silently sensing the immortal energy that seemed to be solidified in his body, Han Xiangzi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

“I’m more concerned about the time frame.”

Tieguai Li stared at Qin Yao and asked seriously: "Emperor, how much time do we have to extradite Uncle Cao?"

Qin Yao said: "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no time limit now."

The immortals were surprised and didn't understand what this meant.

Qin Yao slowly raised his hands, the Xuanyuan Sword flashed in the palm of his left hand, and the Diamond Sword flashed in the palm of his right hand.

The immortals suddenly widened their eyes.

what happened?

Isn’t it said that in order to prevent damage to the current time and space, the Heavenly Dao will seal all the immortals who travel through time?

Qin Yao put away the two immortal swords and said, "I don't need to explain, right?"

"How did you do it?" Zhongli Quan was the first to react and asked with a happy face.

Qin Yao waved his hand and pretended not to know: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because of my special fate, or maybe it's because of God's favor."

"No matter what the reason is, this is a great joyful event. It seems that even God is helping us." Lan Caihe had a bright smile on his face.

Qin Yao didn't want to talk about this topic any more, lest he bring disaster to the table: "Let's take a look at where this place is first. There is the cause and effect of Cao Guojiu in the Samsara Disk, so this place must be related to him!"

Hearing this, all the immortals turned their heads and looked around. Zhongli Quan raised his hand and opened a nearby box. A glimmer of golden light suddenly came into their eyes:
"It looks like a vault. These boxes are filled with gold, silver and treasures!"

Lan Caihe immediately glanced at the rows of shelves in the warehouse and took a deep breath: "If these boxes are filled with gold and silver... Could it be that we are trapped in the national treasury? Did Uncle Cao take on the task of managing the national treasury?"

Qin Yao turned around and came to a row of shelves with account books, raised his hand to pick up an account book, flipped through it, and said softly:
"It's not the national treasury, it's Uncle Cao's personal treasury. Look, it says who gave the gifts to Uncle Cao."

The immortals came to the shelves one after another, each picked up a ledger and looked through it. The more they looked, the more shocked they were.

Uncle Cao is really good at finding ways to receive gifts~
"Look, he's actually selling official positions!"

Suddenly, Lan Caihe handed the account book in his hand to everyone and exclaimed.

"Not only that, there are also records of him running a brothel here."

Tieguai Li patted the account book in his hand and said, "You should be able to imagine what kind of evil is hidden in a place like a brothel. This Cao Guojiu wants to make money from everything and dares to take any money!"

Lan Caihe slammed the account book on the shelf and said angrily:
"If he is just greedy by nature, it would be fine, but he wants money for everything, which means he must have done a lot of bad things. How can such a bad person be worthy of becoming an immortal, or even one of the Eight Immortals!"

The other immortals were silent, and some even agreed with his anger.

The reason is simple, they all have their own shortcomings and none of them is a perfect personality.

But whether it is laziness, conceit, or a love of gambling, these are shortcomings that will not hurt others.

But Cao Guojiu's greed for money is different. He is greedy for the people's blood and sweat. How many people are affected?
Qin Yao said: "There is a saying among the people that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. Buddhism has a warning saying that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha immediately. Taoism also has a theory of persuading people to be good, mainly to make people change their past mistakes. This eighth immortal is obviously of this kind..."

The immortals were silent, as if they were thinking about something.

"In that case, if Uncle Cao could take the initiative to give away all his wealth, would he be able to avoid the disaster?" He Xiangu asked shortly.

Qin Yao nodded: "It's possible! His fate is all about money. When he is no longer trapped by money, he will naturally not be trapped by his fate.

It would be best for us to help him break the fate within this time and space, and then take him back and find a way to make him quickly achieve the heavenly fairyland.

In this way, the risk will be minimized.

Otherwise, if we take him back first, Tongtian Sect will definitely kill him at all costs, and we will need to put in a lot of energy just to protect him..."

The immortals pondered this argument carefully, and the more they thought about it, the more it made sense. So they said in unison: "Everything is decided by the Emperor (Master)!"

Qin Yao smiled slightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, he concealed the bodies of the immortals:

"Since this is Uncle Cao's treasury, it must be not far from Uncle Cao's mansion. Let's go there first in stealth and observe Uncle Cao's truest side in secret."

"Yes." All the immortals clasped their fists in response.

Lean less.

Qin Yao led the six immortals to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, but saw that the gate with a plaque of "Cao Mansion" was very high, and one had to walk up three consecutive stone steps to enter.

There are two stone lions crouching on both sides of the door. They are much taller and more powerful than ordinary stone lions. They may be made by famous craftsmen, or even representative masterpieces...

Even before entering the door, a sense of luxury and pomp hits you in the face. Ordinary people would need courage to climb up the three stone steps and step into the door.

"Even the royal palace of my Tang Dynasty may not be so exaggerated." Lan Caihe exclaimed.

"Come in." Qin Yao waved.

After entering the door, the jade slabs, artificial springs, gorgeous corridors, and the South China Sea red corals used as embellishments once again refreshed the cognition of the immortals and made them understand why Uncle Cao was so greedy for money.

This mansion alone is like a paradise on earth.

Even if an ordinary person works all his life, the value he creates may not be comparable to that red coral...

Crossing the courtyard and entering the inner hall, I saw a bearded man in a golden robe sitting in the main seat. He asked a butler-like figure below, "Did you remember everything I said?"

"My Lord, I have remembered this. Only distinguished guests who give gifts exceeding five hundred taels are worthy of eating red buns; guests who give gifts below five hundred taels are only worthy of eating white buns." The butler said humbly.

Uncle Cao nodded slightly and said with a smile, "That's right. The price is clearly marked. It's worth my painstaking efforts to get the position of imperial examination examiner."

The housekeeper hesitated and said, "But I am worried that if there are too many people, some people will leak out the secret of the test questions hidden in the red envelopes..." Cao Guojiu sneered, "They are not careful because they don't have a guillotine hanging around their necks. As long as this idea is instilled into their heads, all those who come to give gifts will become gourds with sawed mouths."

The housekeeper's eyes lit up: "I understand."

"This Uncle Cao really fits my stereotype." In a corner of the inner hall, Lan Caihe complained in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Qin Yao smiled slightly, and then sent a message to the immortals: "This may not be a bad thing...

People often feel the warmth and coldness of human nature when they encounter major changes or are imprisoned, and understand many truths that they did not understand when they were in stable conditions.

To put it more bluntly, when Cao Guojiu fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, perhaps he would be able to grow. "

The six immortals looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The biggest benefit of following Fengdu Emperor (Master) is that you don’t have to worry about anything. No matter what situation you face, he will always have a way...

"Wait a minute, after this banquet is over, we can think of a way to spread the matter of white buns and red buns among the people." Qin Yao waved his hand and led the six immortals to the outside of the hall, saying in a voice transmission.

Lan Caihe blinked and said, "Wouldn't it be more powerful if it explodes after the imperial examination?"

Qin Yao said: "You are right, but this is unfair to the candidates of that year. Once this is done, the best result is to retake the exam, but even if you retake it, some people may not be able to get back to the state they were in the first exam."

Lan Caihe: “…”

He really didn't expect that Emperor Fengdu would even take the candidates into consideration.

"Please remember, our target is only Uncle Cao. If we can avoid involving others, we will do so.

After all, this is not our time and space. The more cause and effect we change, the more dangerous we are.

If one crosses the red line determined by heaven, I am afraid that divine punishment will fall in an instant.

Maybe this natural barrier can't hurt us, but the mission will definitely fail." Qin Yao said softly as the immortals were sighing.

He knew very well that if he failed to lead the team well, he would be killed by the team.

To avoid this situation, we need to tell everyone what they can and cannot do, and avoid the emergence of "pig teammates" to the greatest extent possible...

That night.

This unique steamed bun banquet was held as scheduled. In the bustling living room, many guests holding white steamed buns could clearly see many guests holding red steamed buns taking out small slips of paper from their steamed buns one after another, their faces changing slightly.

Among them, those who were given white envelopes were more excited and asked those who were given red envelopes beside them how much silver they had donated for the birthday of the king's uncle.

After finding out the truth, the wealthy white bun customers would go home to get money immediately and then exchange the white buns in their hands for red buns.

Those who have no financial resources can only sigh and watch the prosperity.

Who said that the imperial examinations tested the ability of the scholars? This is clearly the financial resources of the scholars.

Even from admission to scientific examinations, it is no more than this...

finally.

A steamed bun banquet that cost almost nothing brought Cao Guojiu a fortune, and taught the immortals a very intuitive lesson called "abusing power for personal gain."

However, on the next day, the immortals used various methods to spread the news throughout the entire Tokyo city, causing an uproar in an instant.

The scholars were excited and the common people were indignant. The gates of the noble houses that were once intimidating were broken into and many people rushed in.

It was already noon, but Uncle Cao had not gotten up yet because he had slept late the night before. The housekeeper had to take the risk to wake him up and inform him of the current situation...

After getting dressed and walking out of the bedroom door, Cao Guojiu listened attentively to the noisy sounds in the front yard. A trace of astonishment appeared on his face: "Who is so bold as to reveal the secrets of the Guojiu Mansion? Do you have nothing to worry about?"

All the guests who were able to enter the Cao family last night were, without exception, children of powerful and wealthy people.

Such people usually have all kinds of concerns. Even if they don’t consider themselves, they should consider their families and even the clan, right?
With this kind of logic, he really couldn't understand why this incident had exploded.

"Uncle, do you want to go to the Queen..." the housekeeper said in a low voice.

"There's no need to alarm my sister about this kind of thing." Cao Guojiu waved his hand and said, "Go to Zhenxian Temple and invite the five great immortals to discuss countermeasures. Oh, go through the back door and don't let anyone block your way."

"The five great immortals?" In a corner of the backyard, next to a large willow tree, He Xiangu raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Could it be that they are immortals from this time and space?"

Qin Yao narrowed his eyes slowly and said, "We'll know soon, but I think it's not that simple..."

half an hour.

Five familiar figures walked into the backyard from the back door, and thus came into the sight of the immortals...

Seeing Lan Caihe's eyes suddenly widen and he was about to speak subconsciously, Qin Yao quickly raised his finger and pointed at him, sealing his lips.

If only Cao Guojiu was here, they could still communicate in a low voice, but now that five direct disciples of Tongtian Sect have come together, even the slightest voice of Lan Caihe will be noticed.

Therefore, after sealing Lan Caihe, Qin Yao immediately sent a message to the six immortals: "Don't talk, don't move, and don't even look at the five of them. Otherwise, even I may not be able to hide you. Blink if you understand."

All of a sudden, the six immortals blinked their eyes, showing a special sense of joy...

"Greetings to the five immortals."

In the courtyard, Cao Guojiu took the initiative to greet the Five Gods and bowed to them.

Liu Huan raised his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, my uncle. We all know the situation you are facing now. Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Cao Guojiu breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Please give me some advice, Immortal Liu."

Liu Huan gradually became serious and said, "The guests who came to the banquet would definitely not reveal this matter, so the rumor must have come from the disaster we told you about before."

"You mean, the demon from outside the domain who wants to use me as a scapegoat?" A light flashed through Cao Guojiu's mind, and he instantly thought of something they had said to him before.

In fact.

These five people came here to help him avert disaster, and for this, he even paid for a True Immortal Temple to be built for them...

"Yes."

Liu Huan said: "Now you should go and meet those who want to explain, and tell them firmly that this matter is entirely someone who is slandering you, and they are despicable.

As long as you are strong enough and do not show any guilty conscience, someone will be there to help you with the interpretation.

After we solve the current trouble, we will discuss how to resolve the disaster..." (End of this chapter)
