Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 31

The person coming up the mountain came sooner than expected. He was a skinny old man with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, sallow skin, and a pair of small eyes that were often narrowed into slits.

"Boss Huang!"

Seeing the other party, Gu Leyou's heart skipped a beat.

Manager Huang put his hands behind his back, and said sadly: "You killed Taoist Xuancheng, Daxian is very upset."

Gu Leyou explained: "I didn't do anything, he bit his tongue and killed himself."

Manager Huang snorted coldly: "The Great Immortal said you killed it, and you killed it. Why, is there a problem?"

Gu Leyou stopped defending: "Then what does the Great Immortal mean?"

"All the money you collected from You Chenguan will be handed over, and in addition, the offerings will be doubled every year!"

"what?"

Gu Leyou called out, "Double the offering?"

Director Huang sneered and said: "Xuancheng is dead, and Youchen Temple has been abolished. The original share of offerings they handed over must be counted on your heads."

Gu Leyou couldn't help clenching his fists.

Manager Huang stared at him coldly: "Also, if you kill those porters, you will have to pay for it, one hundred per person for relocation."

This matter really cannot be hidden.

Gu Leyou said angrily: "They came to kill me, can't I fight back and just sit and wait for death?"

Mr. Huang said: "It is precisely because those porters are foreign orders that Daxian is lenient and spares you. Otherwise, do you think I will come to you so politely to discuss compensation matters? You have to remember that porters are immortals. No matter what the reason is, if you kill them, you will have to pay for it.”

Gu Leyou said very bachelorly: "What if I can't afford it?"

Mr. Huang said: "If you can't afford money, you will lose your life. This is the rule set by the Great Immortal. You listen carefully, the Great Immortal is kind. I will give you a month to raise money. Now, let's search for money from Youchen Temple first." Give it to me, don't try to be clever and take it for yourself."

Looking at this nasty old face, Gu Leyou wanted to punch him, making his face bloom.

But Gu Leyou held back, it was easy to beat Butler Huang, but the problem was that there was an immortal Huang on top of Butler Huang, so he had to hand over the big package.

Manager Huang held it in his hand, weighed it, opened it again, looked at it, and nodded slightly: "Remember, the compensation is limited to one month. Don't try to escape, you won't be able to escape."

Take the package and walk away.

Looking at his back, Gu Leyou spat secretly: Old man...

Then he let out a long sigh.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

The windfall I just got is gone, and the girls in Chunfenglou are ruined... The offerings are doubled every year, and the amount is not small. Fortunately, there is enough time to raise money; but the porter's compensation is dying.

Gu Leyou himself killed six porters, while Chen Jin killed five, adding up to more than 1000 guan.

One month, 30 days, in the blink of an eye, where can I get such a large sum of money?
Half an hour later, Chen Jin, who came out of the room, learned of the matter, and asked ponderingly, "Is there no place to reason?"

Gu Leyou smiled wryly and said: "Where can we go to reason? The immortal family is arrogant to protect our shortcomings. In Huang Daxian's view, he didn't take our lives, which is already considered magnanimous. Forget it, money is something outside of us, and it is easy to work hard to earn it." yes."

Chen Jin said "oh", turned around and left.

Gu Leyou asked, "Where are you going?"

"Practice the sword."

Chen Jin's answer was concise and calm: "I don't think my sword is sharp enough."

With the sword of conservation in hand, the comprehension of swordsmanship has jumped to a new level, but if you want to improve your level, you will never be able to do without hard work.

Gu Leyou touched his chin and murmured, "So hard? It has infected me, so I have to work hard to practice."

Go back to the room and take out an ancient scroll.

This volume is called "Three Evil Volumes", which was obtained by Izumo Taoist by chance, and he became a Taoist by self-taught.There are three spells recorded on the volume: Tongyou, Zhihua, and Tudun, all of which are derived from the "72 Earth Shade Techniques", but with some changes.

Gu Leyou has been apprenticed to a teacher since he was a child, and started to practice, but so far, he has only mastered "Tongyou". Zhihua and Tudun barely stepped into the threshold, but the success rate of using it is not high.As for swordsmanship, it is another method, it is really not brilliant.

After practicing cross-legged for a while, he frowned and sighed, "Difficult! It's too difficult!"

With his backhand, he took out a little book from under the pillow, but he saw that men and women were fighting fiercely on the pages, and the tricks were exquisite: "This book is easy to learn, easy to understand..."

……

But it was said that Manager Huang carried the package up the mountain along a stone path.

The clouds and mist on the mountain are misty, and there is a vague sense of immortality.

As he walked, he pondered in his heart: This time Youchenguan and Izumoguan suddenly clashed for some reason.

The specific situation, Mr. Huang is not clear, and he is too lazy to study it carefully, there is no need for that.

There are its own rules on the mountain, no matter how the cultivators in the mountain fight, the one who wins in the end will always be the immortal family on top.

It's just that more than a dozen porters died this time, so it's hard to avoid hearing the news.

Manager Huang thought that Daxian, who loves face the most, would be furious, and then took the opportunity to get rid of Gu Leyou, but he didn't expect that Daxian's order was to charge relocation fees.

One hundred guan for one person is by no means a small number.

After the money was collected, the family members of the porters laughed when they could get one-tenth of it, and naturally the bulk of it fell on the Xian family's side.

Money is a good thing. As for the porters who are at the bottom, their lives are as humble as ants. If one group dies, another group will be recruited.

Thinking about it this way, it immediately seemed that Daxian's approach was far-sighted.

The enshrining is doubled, and a large amount of money enters the account every year. Gu Leyou is like a hen that can lay eggs and is at the mercy of the slaughter. It would be a pity to kill it directly.

Due to Huang Daxian's dominance and reputation, there are very few monks who are willing to settle in the first peak of Wuling, far less than the other four peaks.Now the Youchen Temple is gone, and if the Izumo Temple is abolished, there will not be many left.

Every missing family is equal to the loss of an offering.

So, why bother with money?
Those porters took foreign orders, and it's just their own fault...

After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and a temple appeared.

These temples have a characteristic. They are generally not large, but they are numerous and scattered all over the place.

Manager Huang's face tightened, and he subconsciously lowered his footsteps, for fear of disturbing anything.Continue to go up, and finally come to a rather large temple of Huangpizi.

The earthen walls and tiled roof of this temple are impressive.

He stood outside and said respectfully, "Daxian, I'm back."

A shrill voice came from the temple: "Is everything done?"

"It's done, the kid surnamed Gu dare not say anything."

"That's good, keep an eye on him and don't let him escape."

Manager Huang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Daxian, he can't escape. Well, I heard that when he returned to the mountain this time, he brought a young man with good sword skills with him. I don't know why."

"Young man with great swordsmanship?"

Huang Daxian sneered, and said disapprovingly: "What powerful people do you think Gu Leyou can meet? Alright, let's go down."

"Yes."

Manager Huang responded, put down the package, and then retreated.

In the temple, the light was dim, and a hideous figure with hair was reflected on the wall.

His back was bent, and he looked a little shy.

He was hurt.

A while ago, one of Huang Daxian's Yuanshen Lihun was beheaded, compromising decades of Taoism.

He was extremely angry, yet felt inexplicable fear.The ancestors are in retreat and must not be disturbed. Huang Daxian can only hide in the temple to rest and recover slowly.

Regarding Gu Leyou's "killing" Taoist Xuancheng and many porters, although Huang Daxian was a little annoyed, it was nothing serious.At present, His mind is not here, but elsewhere.

When he was invited that day, a wisp of Yuanshen Lihun was attached to a yellow leather head, which was restricted a lot, and he was beheaded suddenly, so he didn't get much useful information.Under the cover of black mist, it is impossible to see who the other party is.

This is also due to the insufficiency of Huang Daxian's Taoism and the flaws in Fushi Nuo technique.

He even suspected that what happened that day was likely to be a conspiracy, a trap, deliberately lured him into the bait...
