Wet viviparity

Chapter 184 Recruitment, Asking for God Yi
Under the stone peak that leaned against the Zhushan Mountain, in the huge hole for wind to pass through, Qian Geng, looking like a child, sat on the altar, staring blankly at an old acquaintance sitting under the altar.

"Aren't you the little Taoist priest in the temple?!"

"I bow my head."

Ji Ming made a hand gesture, held it in front of his chest, bowed, and said, "Since we parted in Jiheng Mountain, Daoist Qian has become more charming than ever."

Seeing Ji Ming being so polite, Qian Geng was also certain in his heart. He took a look at the surrounding environment. Being knowledgeable, he immediately understood where he was and did not dare to be careless.

With a change of mind, his illusory body disappeared, revealing his true form of Yaksha, and he said with a sad face: "Little Taoist, Qian has been badly hurt by you."

In front of Ji Ming, Qian Geng began to complain bitterly. It turned out that when Xiao Qiulong was captured by Huang Jue in Tielao Temple, his son was stubborn and did not come to rescue him.

Originally, this would not be a big deal. With some money, it could be easily covered up in the Jinbi Water Palace. Then the Water Palace could send other capable people to rescue. But the bad thing is that Xiao Qiulong died.

The time of his death was just before the Water Palace sent the next requester for help, leaving him with no one to shift the blame to.

Xiao Qiulong was the dragon son, the son of Jiangsou Longbo. Qian Geng had never thought that King Huangjue would kill the dragon son. Even if he did, he couldn't kill him so easily!

But Xiao Qiulong died, and he was expelled from the water palace. He took his toad monster to another major force in the lake, the "Yunyu Temple", and became one of the many hairy gods in the temple.

Later, relying on his previous connections, he got a job in Chaosi in Yunyu Temple.

During the day he would catch the tide on the lake, and at night he would manage the family temple and fulfill his vows through dreams. After only a month or so, his spiritual energy had dried up in his ghost body.

Ji Ming was somewhat stunned by Qian Geng's behavior. Seeing that Qian Geng was able to protect himself many times in the Water Palace and was able to gain personal benefits in the Yunyu Temple, he began to admire Qian Geng's talent.

In the Tielao Temple, he learned that Qian Geng had been a soil boy in the "Yanshou Palace" of the three life gods of Fu, Lu and Shou during his lifetime. His relationship with him was already very close.

If Qian Geng could be won over, he could meditate in seclusion in Lanyinfang in the future, with the support of Qian Geng and the four counselors Shu, which would help him to avoid worldly affairs and disturb his mind.

Another point is that Ji Ming needs to check and balance the power of Shu Si. This is a natural and necessary move and has nothing to do with trust or not.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, why don't you come to my place?" Ji Ming invited sincerely, saying, "I will be working as an official in the underworld in Lanyinfang soon, and I will have a fortune to send you."

"Lan Yin Fang?"

Qian Geng knew that this small area in Guhe Prefecture was a disputed area between Taiping Mountain and Panku Mountain. In recent years, the two major forces in this area had been active, so it was not a good place to be.

He didn't know much about the young Taoist priest and once thought he was a disciple from Huoxu Cave with a background in Da Chunyang Palace. Now it seems that he is a disciple of Taiping Mountain and seems to have some future.

Although Qian Geng was tired of the trivial tasks in the Yunyu Temple, it was a place to shelter from the wind and rain after all. Compared to that place, what could the little Taoist in front of him bring him more? !
He did not refuse immediately, and asked: "Since you are a disciple of Taiping Mountain and have some background, you should know that the lucrative positions on the mountain are in Qingping and Tianqing. Why do you choose the faraway place instead of the near one? Is there any secret in that place?"

"So sharp."

Ji Ming thought to himself.

Although he had seen Qian Geng's methods in the Tielao Temple, Ji Ming's eyes still lit up at this clever side of his.

Ji Ming hesitated for a moment and did not directly reveal the matter of the second fight. Instead, he told Qian Geng about the Taoist merchant family's business arrangement in Lanyinfang, preparing to test Qian Geng.

Qian Geng was able to be a fairy boy in Yanshou Palace during his lifetime. He must have been no simple person. It is possible that he was related to the Qian family, or was a child of the Qian family.

However, when he talked about the Qian family, Qian Geng did not show any special reaction on his face. He just calculated the various possibilities of the Qian family's private property in Lan Yin Fang.

Ji Ming felt that he was overly suspicious. Even if Qian Geng was a member of the Qian family, he was dead and now he was just a yaksha ghost, and a yaksha ghost in an evil temple in the south of the world like the Yunyu Temple.

"In recent generations, few of the Qian family's descendants have any moral integrity. They have all become businessmen. They are willing to spend a lot of effort to build up their private property in the Lanyin Formula. There must be huge profits in it." Qian Geng grabbed his algae-like hair, thinking hard, and finally said to Ji Ming: "It seems that you are seeking far away instead of near, also for the huge benefits. I think I can only know the secrets by worshipping you as my master."

“No!” Ji Ming shook his head and said, “Becoming my master does not allow you to know this secret. You still need to pay something.”

After hearing this, Qian Geng's face darkened. He knew that the immortals had to cast a forbidden spell on the demons to protect them, and they would not be free from then on.

As a man who had died once, Qian Geng concealed his emotions with great sophistication. He understood that freedom is relative and the freedom of the weak is nothing more than castrated freedom.

However, this is not a trivial matter. He still has doubts in his heart as to whether selling freedom can bring equal benefits.

Ji Ming knew that one cannot get what one wants in a hurry, and he should be more patient with talents, so he said in a gentle manner: "Let's talk about the forbidden spell for now. Why don't you stay by my side and do some work, and then make a decision after observing."

"it is good!"

Qian Geng agreed.

The reason why he agreed was that the little path could offer him a future, but the other reason was naturally his situation.

The Taoist priest summoned him to Mount Taiping, definitely not just to reminisce about the past. It was also his fault that he drank too much and responded to the invitation in a daze, putting him in a dilemma.

Ji Ming fiddled with the cards in his hand, showing them one by one in front of Qian Geng, and said, "There is a difficult problem right now. How can I invite these three hairy gods?"

"The Fire God is a poor outsider with a hot temper. He doesn't get along well with the other gods in the temple. If you summon him, he will definitely respond to you."

Ji Ming followed suit and hung the sign of the Fire God on the altar. He then walked in steps and sang praises.

Not long after, the temperature on the altar rose suddenly. Because this place was located in the passage under the peak, a gentle breeze passed through, generating a large wave of heat, which made the hair on Ji Ming's face and body curl.

In the blink of an eye, a cluster of hot light emerged from the altar, revealing a mountain monster head that looked like burning charcoal, and underneath the head was the body of a baby.

He climbed out from the altar, and used his small hands to dig at the rocks and soil on the altar, leaving behind charred palm prints.

The hairy god cleared his throat and was about to make an opening remark when a round light shone towards him. His body froze instantly, and all the spiritual energy in his body was drained away.

Although the Fire Head God had a bad temper, he had a lot of experience in fighting. He sank his Yin body into the altar, preparing to avoid the circular light. Unexpectedly, a group of strong men came and pulled him out of the altar.

In a panic, he opened his mouth and spurted out smoke and fire, which instantly covered the passage. He then heard a flash of silver in the smoke and fire, and a bolt of lightning struck his body, leaving only a burning charcoal head.

When the round light shone again, the entire charcoal head was gathered in the round light and was consumed into evil spirits, adding some depth to the White Bone Heart Bead.

"Thunder Treasure Nail!"

Qian Geng recognized the magic weapon that emitted lightning as Xiao Qiulong's beloved weapon. He didn't expect it to be taken away by the little Taoist priest. He just didn't know whether Xiao Qiulong died in the hands of the little Taoist priest?

He guessed that it was most likely not killed by the Taoist priest. Since the Taoist priest dared to take it out in front of him, there must be a reason.

This thunder is the best at restraining evil spirits. The Fire God responded to the call without thinking. Even if he had some Taoist skills and was careful in his actions, he could not escape the fate of being controlled by the little Taoist.

Qian Geng was a smart guy. He was already thinking about the remaining two signs and how he was going to trick the King of Parthia and Huhu Lao.

With his help, the problem is not too big.
