Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

Chapter 90 Asking for Remuneration
"Master..."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhong Liefeng closed his eyes and there was no movement at all.

Jiang Fuyuan:? ? ?

At this time, Zhai Jinzu led a group of officers and rushed over. When he saw the unconscious Zhong Liefeng, he was stunned.

"Master Zhong, is he... righteous?"

Jiang Fuyuan: "..."

Fortunately, the imperial doctor who arrived later took his pulse in time and announced that Zhong Liefeng had just fainted due to exhaustion and coldness caused by soaking in water, otherwise Zhai Jinzu would have acted like a crying hero.

It would take time to clean up the flooded fields and appease the frightened people. Zhai Jinzu asked Jiang Fuyuan and others to go back to the government office to rest first, while he led the guards to deal with the aftermath.

Back at the government office, Jiang Fuyuan found Xiaopang poking his head at the door, seemingly hesitating whether to go in or not.

She looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Xiaopang whispered: "When I was in the soul bottle before, I felt that there was something terrible here. I was afraid..."

Jiang Fuyuan frowned: "Could it be that the shameless cult also planted evil spirits in the government office?"

Xiaopang nodded and shook his head: "I can't say, I just think I should stay in the soul bottle and not go out. If I go out, it will be dangerous."

Jiang Fuyuan pursed her lips. No wonder he refused to leave the soul bottle no matter how she called Xiaopang when he was in the government office. It must be that he instinctively sensed a threat nearby.

Stopping everyone who was about to enter the door, Jiang Fuyuan began to chant a curse in a low voice without bothering to answer their questions.

"The white lotus enters the body, transcends the six realms, gives up the mortal body, attains the realm and becomes an immortal..."

It is a spell used by the half-ghost rabbit demon to summon monsters.

Xiaopang huddled behind her, looking around helplessly without any reaction.

Then he walked through the door, went to the main hall, and chanted some mantras again, but nothing happened.

They visited the entire government office and tried the spell in every courtyard. Not to mention the monsters, there was not even a trace of Yin Qi.

Feeling that the danger was no longer there, Little Fatty's eyes lit up: "Master, could it be that because the rabbit died, the evil spirits here also disappeared?"

Jiang Fuyuan was silent for a while and replied: "It's possible."

"Okay!" Xiaopang was spinning happily. He was so stifled in the soul bottle before that he was afraid to speak louder.

Now he wants to have a good time, he has long wanted to go and play with the little weasel!

Seeing the little fat man happily floating towards the backyard, Jiang Fuyuan ignored him and said to Chi Xinsu and others, "I need to catch up on some sleep" and then returned to his room.

The maids in the government office are attentive and diligent. The bed has long been replaced with freshly dried bedding, which is fluffy and exudes fragrance. It looks very soft and easy to sleep on.

The bathtub in the house is filled with hot water, and there are clean clothes hanging on the hangers nearby.

Jiang Fuyuan quickly cleaned up and threw herself on the big bed.

The mattress was softer than it looked. It felt like she was falling into a white cloud. It was so comfortable that she couldn't help but roll around the quilt twice.

【This is the bed that people should sleep on. 】

She thought drowsily as she sank into the soft quilt.

He didn't know how long he had slept. When Jiang Fuyuan returned to consciousness, he felt weak all over. When he opened his eyes, he saw a vast expanse of white in front of him.

Okay, I still haven’t woken up, I’m dreaming again.

There was no dividing line between heaven and earth in the endless white. Jiang Fuyuan took a tentative step. Except that she knew she was moving forward, there was no reference around her to prove that she had moved forward.

Since it was useless to move forward, she simply stopped and said, "Is there anyone there? I'll wake up if there's no one around. Don't delay others' dinner."

Between drinking and fighting, plus this sleep, she hadn't eaten properly for at least a day and a night, and now she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

"Don't worry." An old voice sounded, and along with the voice came a table of sumptuous dishes and a smiling little old man. "It's you." Seeing the familiar figure, Jiang Fuyuan raised an eyebrow, "I thought it was another shameless cult causing trouble."

The little old man didn't answer her words and made a gesture of invitation towards her.

Jiang Fuyuan was not polite and sat down directly to start cooking.

Grabbing a chicken leg, she paused and asked, "Where did you get this food from?"

Even the sky can't conjure things out of thin air. All objects are just taken from another place. If this table of food is a meal that someone has worked hard to prepare, wouldn't she take away the food?
The little old man smiled and said, "Enshrine in the world."

Jiang Fuyuan understood: "Oh."

There are many kinds of beliefs in the world. Gods, ghosts, mountains and rivers may all be enshrined. However, what mortals talk about most often is God’s blessing.

Since it is heaven, it naturally has no shortage of offerings.Jiang Fuyuan put her mind at ease. It felt so good to eat other people's offerings. The chicken drumsticks in her hands were especially fragrant and tender.

Seeing her eating happily, the smile on the little old man's face deepened: "How does it feel to protect the common people?"

Chewing food in his mouth, Jiang Fuyuan raised his head and glanced at the little old man.

Also, everything is in the world, and nothing can escape the eyes of the sky. The same is naturally true for everything that happens in the little Bozhou City.

Thinking of this, she asked: "Since you want to protect the common people, why don't you directly help the people of Bozhou? A little rabbit demon is easy for you to deal with, right?"

The little old man said calmly: "There is a saying in the world that all things are accepted and Qingzhou is regarded as such. It means that all living things are fate, and none of them can be taken lightly. The same is true for me. The people of Bozhou are common people, and the demons and ghosts are also common people. "

He did not continue, but Jiang Fuyuan knew clearly in his heart that in the eyes of heaven, all living things are all living things, and all living things are all living beings. There is no conclusion that one is nobler.

He would not directly punish the rabbit demon by killing him just because he killed someone, just as he would not punish people for eating chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep.

This is probably what people call Tiandao ruthless.

Jiang Fuyuan shrugged and made no comment. He just raised his eyelids and asked, "I helped you protect Bozhou. Since the people of Bozhou are yours, don't you have any reward for me?"

The little old man was stunned: "...you have won the faith of the people of Bozhou."

Jiang Fuyuan raised his eyebrows: "That is the reward given to me by the people of Bozhou. How can it be confused with yours?"

Little old man: ...

Jiang Fuyuan: "Let's be practical."

The little old man glanced at the white tortoise shell around her waist: "Isn't it practical enough to calculate the sky?"

Jiang Fuyuan was dissatisfied: "Yam Luo exchanged the soul-calling bell with me, why did you give it to me again?"

As she spoke, she took off the tortoise shell and threw it on the table.

"And what use can this thing have? Is it really just a cold weapon?"

The fortune teller was thrown around and almost fell off the table. The little old man quickly held it down and couldn't laugh or cry: "The fortune teller is a rare magic weapon in the world. Without my instructions, Yama will not easily Leave it to you.”

The next second, Suantian returned to Jiang Fuyuan's hands.

The little old man said enigmatically: "Everything has its own destiny. When the time comes, you will naturally know the beauty of calculating the sky."

Jiang Fuyuan snorted: "Don't try to change the subject, where is my remuneration?"

Little old man: ...

Jiang Fuyuan was the first person to directly ask for payment from him.

She is also too brave.

Jiang Fuyuan continued: "Yam Luo Land and so on, don't you pay them monthly salary on time? There is no difference between me and them now, we all work for you."

"And I don't want much. I don't need any gold, silver or jewelry. Just give me some merit if you wish."
