I am the one running the game

Chapter 448: The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly, the time traveler will pass it on as soon as he says so
Xu Yi tracked the suspect in Jiangyin Prefecture from dawn to dusk, but did not find any trace.

However, his behavior caught the attention of some people.

"The Prince Zhong invited you?" Look, he was stopped on the road.

"That's right. I heard that the Taoist priest seems to be investigating something. If you don't mind, Prince Zhong's Mansion can lend a helping hand." The steward of Prince Zhong said hurriedly.

For some reason today, Gao Zheng was furious and very angry. However, after learning about Xu Yi's situation, his anger subsided a lot.

Xu Yi thought about it and didn't have much idea about Prince Zhong. As a time traveler, he didn't have much interest in the so-called princes and royal family.

He has practiced Taoism, so how could he care about the secular dynasty?

But now think again, if he can use the power of this Prince Zhong, maybe he can find this drought demon.

"Lead the way." Xu Yi did not refuse.

Led by the steward, Gao Zheng entered Prince Zhong's mansion, where he had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Xu Yi arrived, he greeted him warmly.

"Master Taoist, you have come here after a long journey. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Please join us." This time, Gao Zheng served the food and wine directly and did not allow Xu Yi to refuse.

Xu Yi doesn't care much. Compared to other ascetic monks, he likes beautiful women and delicious food.

The point is that practicing Taoism is for enjoyment. If you don't look for beautiful women, eat delicious food or pretend to be cool, then what is the point of practicing so hard?

Of course, he didn't practice hard either. He was able to make such rapid progress thanks to the help of the sign-in system.

However, he also understood the priorities and knew that if he wanted to enjoy better things, he would need to have a higher level of cultivation.

Therefore, after sitting down at the table, he talked about the matter of Hanba and the drought.

When Gao Zheng heard this, his face turned pale and blue.

I just dealt with the Pillow Fairy last night, how come another drought demon came this morning?

Is Jiangyin Prefecture unlucky this year or what? Why is there so many disasters?

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I will give orders immediately and send someone to inquire. As soon as there is any news, let me inform you immediately." Gao Zheng had to cooperate.

The Pillow Fairy can kill people, and although the drought caused by the Hanba is not that harmful, once it takes shape, it will cause great loss of money and labor.

If there are problems with the fiefdom of Jiangyin Prefecture by then, the expenses of Prince Zhong's Mansion will also be reduced, and he will inevitably be beaten and scolded.

What’s more important is that this impact will not last for one or two days. It will take several years to recover.

Moreover, whenever there is drought, there will be locust plagues. When there is drought, there will be locust plagues as well. It is true that his ability is a little lacking, but after all, he has been in charge for these days and he knows most of the common sense he should know.

"Hurry up, drought will come in two days at most." Xu Yi reminded again.

Gao Zheng's face turned dark this time. It was not easy to find this drought demon in the huge Jiangyin Prefecture in two days.

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I will make people do their best."

It's difficult, but there's nothing we can do. Our fiefdom is here, so we have to grit our teeth and do it.

As for not doing it, that is definitely not possible.

After this exchange, Gao Zheng set his sights on Xu Yi, wanting to learn the secret of enlightenment from him.

Due to Gao Zheng's help to him, Xu Yi couldn't refuse his request, and finally he could only give him a copy of "Lieyang Xuanming Sutra".

In fact, Gao Zheng never expected that he would get it so easily.

He thought he would run into the same obstacle as Lu Xingshi, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he obtained the method of entering the Tao that he wanted from Xu Yi.

Lu Xingshi has come into contact with cultivators, so if you ask him to teach you, you have to look at his character and morals. Otherwise, if you give him a method and he turns out to be an evildoer who causes harm, you will have to bear the consequences.

This is not a blacksmith selling a knife, but the fault of the father if the son is not well educated and the laziness of the teacher if he does not teach strictly.

You can preach the Dharma, but you have to investigate carefully, after all, this is a matter of great importance.

However, Xu Yi had never come into contact with cultivators and had no idea about this matter, which led him to base his judgment on his own.

In his eyes, it was just a method of entering the Tao, not a big problem, so he just regarded it as a reward for the other party.

"Master, you are so generous!" Gao Zheng swept away his original depression, and even forgot the anger he had been scolded by Lu Xingshi before.

With this method of entering the Tao, Gao Zheng felt that he would definitely be able to rise rapidly.

In comparison, in Gao Zheng's eyes, Lu Xingshi's behavior was extremely stingy.

This is indeed true. Lu Xingshi did not give Gao Zheng the method because, firstly, he was afraid of being implicated, and secondly, he was indeed stingy, and there was no way to wash his hands of this.

Being recklessly generous will lead to trouble. Lu Xingshi may benefit the world by plucking a hair, but he will never do anything to harm himself.

"To enter the Dao with this method, it costs a lot of family wealth. The prince needs to prepare more resources." Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just a method. What was it? The "Flame Mysterious Sutra" he gave Gao Zheng was of the lower middle type in the inheritance of the Pure Yang Taiyi God. He was reluctant to give it out even if it was advanced.

"Master Taoist, don't worry. My father is Prince Zhong. Although he may not be as rich as a country, it should be enough for me to practice." Gao Zheng said with a refreshed look.

Look, this is the real Youdao Quanzhen. It not only introduces oneself to the Taoist door, but also reminds oneself to save more money.

Although Gao Zheng said this, he actually understood one thing in his heart, that is, Prince Zhong's Mansion would not fully support his practice of Taoism.

However, if you want money and food, you don’t necessarily have to ask for it from Prince Zhong’s palace.

He is not in the capital now, but in Jiangyin Prefecture, the fief of Prince Zhong. By then, he can take some of the spoils and plunder a little more, which will definitely be enough.

Before he even started practicing, he was already thinking about how to enrich himself and plunder the people.

In Gao Zheng's eyes, he is the prince, so what's wrong with taking something? Originally, this was his father's fiefdom. It was equivalent to taking something from his own home. What's wrong with that?
"That's good. It's difficult to enter the Tao. You need to encourage yourself more, Prince." Xu Yi actually didn't know that Gao Zheng was the eighth son of Prince Zhong. He thought he was the eldest son who could inherit the position of prince.

Normally speaking, this is true. After all, he is in charge of all matters concerning the fiefdom and can even mobilize a large number of troops, so he must be the eldest son.

However, he did not expect that Prince Zhong was in a special case, which led to his misjudgment.

"I will follow the Taoist's instructions." Gao Zheng's expression straightened, and then asked: "Then Taoist, if there are any questions in the Dharma that I don't understand during these days, can I come and ask you for advice?"

"This... Of course you can, but after you find Hanba, I will stay in Jiangyin Prefecture to rest for a few days." Xu Yi actually wanted to refuse, but when he thought that if he refused, it would affect the other party's enthusiasm for finding Hanba, then he would be the one who would suffer.

Even if they catch the Hanba, they will have to find a way to refine it, so it might be a good idea to stay here.

Gao Zheng looked ecstatic. This was simply a good person. Compared with him, Lu Xingshi was completely different.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your guidance." He should thank you first at this time. He could see that Xu Yi was indeed not as thick-skinned as Lu Xingshi. Anyway, Lu Xingshi could accept the compliment without changing his expression and then handle the matter impartially.

This kind of stubbornness made him very angry, but this time he finally met someone who was easy to talk to.

"Don't worry, finding Hanba is the most important thing. Prince, look..." Xu Yi began to urge.

"Master, don't worry. Someone come." Gao Zheng called the steward and said, "Take my seal and go to the Jiangyin government office to mobilize all parties. I want them to find the trace of Hanba before sunset tomorrow."

The steward respectfully took the talisman that Gao Zheng took from his waist, and then left quickly.

"With the power of my Prince Zhong's Mansion in Jiangyin Prefecture, you can rest assured, Taoist priest." Gao Zheng is still very confident in his power.

"Prince Zhong's Mansion is indeed very prestigious." Xu Yi praised, and then enjoyed the fine food and wine, and appreciated the singing and dancing, looking very contented.

It was not until the banquet was over that he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Master, please don't leave today. Take a rest at home for a while." Gao Zheng could see that compared to the pure-hearted Lu Xingshi, Xu Yi was a man of wine, sex, money and anger.

"Forget it. It's not easy for the people from Jiangyin Prefecture to track down Hanba."

"I'd better go and help out." Xu Yi thought about it and decided to refuse. This banquet alone had delayed them for nearly two hours. If it continued, he would probably waste an entire night.

However, Gao Zheng's face turned serious: "Could it be that I didn't treat you well enough? Did I make the Taoist want to leave?"

"Or does the Taoist priest look down on me and think that what I did today was unfair?"

Hearing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, touched his nose with a little embarrassment and said: "Your Highness, you worry too much, but I..."

"Forget it, I'll just listen to the prince and stay here for one night."

After Xu Yi agreed, Gao Zheng also smiled: "The Taoist priest is really good-tempered."

"The singing and dancing continued, and the food and wine did not stop."

"But if you are tired, you can let Chunhong and Liulu help you rest." Gao Zheng showed an ambiguous smile on his face.

Xu Yi was not only moved, but also excited.

Gao Zheng saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, and immediately clapped his hands. Two beautiful and slim women came up to Xu Yi and acted coquettishly.

He reluctantly took Xu Yi away from the table.

After the people left, the smile on Gao Zheng's face gradually faded.

He was thinking about how to obtain more methods from Xu Yi. Naturally, he didn't just want one.

What can be given is definitely not an important method, so he wants something better. Moreover, he not only wants to practice Taoism, but also wants to practice the corresponding spells.

The "Liehyan Xuanming Sutra" was indeed enough, but he was greedy and wanted not only better ones, but more.

The main reason is that it is rare to meet someone who is easy to grasp. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"Before that, we have to find Hanba." Gao Zheng stood up, ended the banquet, and went to deal with the matter urgently.

Practicing Taoism requires a large amount of money and food, so Jiangyin Prefecture is extremely important to him. Without Jiangyin Prefecture, it would be equivalent to cutting off the resource channel needed for practicing Taoism.
