Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 92: Driving corpses and bidding?
"Isn't this the deal?"

On the road leading to the county town, Li Kunshan smiled slightly.

Yesterday, the town chief suddenly found Li Kunshan and said he wanted to introduce him to a business deal.

The county magistrate is recruiting extraordinary people to drive away a corpse.

"eccentric."

According to Captain Wang, the reward this time is not in dollars, but in gold bars!

But not everyone can get it. You need to participate in the bidding and only the winner can be hired.

Is there a bidding for corpse-driving?
Li Kunshan has been in this industry for several years, and this is the first time he has heard of it.

Besides, since you are willing to spend gold bars, why not find a carriage and transport the body back? Why do you have to drive the corpse?

Is the master mentally ill?

A person who can become a county magistrate may not be smart, but he is definitely not stupid.

There must be something fishy in this!

"who cares!"

The real money is there, so who cares about his tricks?

Li Kunshan smiled again. He thought, "When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers. When the water comes, we will block it with earth." He would make money from this small yellow croaker first.

It is only about a hundred miles from Hehuan Town to the county seat.

Li Kunshan set out in the middle of the night and arrived before noon.

“It’s a county town after all.”

Walking on the street, looking at the shops on both sides and the pedestrians coming and going, Li Kunshan couldn't help but nod.

It is indeed much more lively than Hehuan Town.

However, compared with Renjia Town, it is still a long way behind.

Although Renjia Town is a small town, the fact that you can drink foreign tea makes it comparable to some provincial capitals.

In the spiritual world, Renjia Town is like a paradise.

"Ouch~!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"My fault, my..."

He was distracted for a moment and bumped into a fat man who was also not paying attention to the road. The two of them quickly apologized to each other.

But then they looked up and were stunned again.

"Hmph~!"

The fat man snorted coldly and said unhappily.

"You can't even walk properly, yet you're trying to catch ghosts like others, and you're not even afraid of falling into a pit!"

"Even if I fall into a pit, I can still climb out. Unlike some people who weigh over 200 pounds, it's hard for them to even climb the stairs, let alone climb out of a pit."

"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about? You're calling someone fat and saying they're struggling!"

"Come on, Mr. Zhuge, please be aware of your status in public."

Looking at Zhuge Kongping who had broken down in front of him, Li Kunshan smiled. Then he saw that both he and Zhuge Xiaoming were dressed in Taoist robes, and it was obvious that they were here to take on the job.

What kind of work is there in this county town right now?

Li Kunshan pondered for a moment and asked.

"You're not coming to the county magistrate's house too, are you?"

"You didn't expect it, did you? The county magistrate invited me..."

Zhuge Kongping looked very proud, but then he came to his senses and blinked at Li Kunshan.

"Are you here to participate in the bidding as well?"

"I knew it."

Li Kunshan rolled his eyes, as expected he had guessed it right.

The reason why Wang Baozhang recommended him was not only to get some benefits from it, but also to curry favor with the county magistrate.

But think about it, how can one person have the insurance of two people?

It would be fine if there was only one Taoist priest, Li Kunshan, in Hehuan Town, but there was also a Zhuge Kongping in the north. How could Captain Wang Bao not notify him?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Kongping's face turned cold again.

"I advise you to be sensible. Now that I'm here, you have no chance."

"whispering sound."

Li Kunshan was too lazy to pay attention and walked towards the county magistrate's residence as Wang Baochang said.

"Dad! Don't let him get there first!"

"I know!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Kongping and Zhuge Xiaoming hurried over.

Then he took a few quick steps, passed Li Kunshan by a few meters, turned around and made a smug face at him.

Li Kunshan rolled his eyes at the two of them. Why are they acting like children? They are such idiots.

What’s the point of arriving early or late? The bidding is scheduled to be held at noon anyway.

"but……"

Li Kunshan fell behind slowly, looking at the fat back of Zhuge Kongping in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder.

Now that Zhuge Kongping is here, he may not be able to get this business.

After all, Zhuge Kongping was not given for nothing.

It would be great if Zhuge Kongping could give up on his own initiative.

After thinking for a moment, Li Kunshan suddenly smiled evilly.

"It's just ahead!"

It was already past eleven o'clock, and Zhuge Kongping looked very happy when he saw the magnificent mansion not far ahead.

Looking back, he saw that Li Kunshan had not caught up yet, and he couldn't help but feel proud again.

"Haha, let's go, let's first..."

He was about to take Zhuge Xiaoming in first, but after taking two steps, Zhuge Kongping suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Zhuge Xiaoming almost bumped into Zhuge Kongping and asked with a frown.

"You're not going to the toilet again, are you?"

"Fuck you big head ghost."

Zhuge Kongping gave Zhuge Xiaoming a slap on the face and wrinkled his nose with a serious expression.

"Don't you smell it? There's a strong smell of corpses!"

"Corpse Qi?"

Zhuge Xiaoming was stunned and looked around with a confused look on his face.

"How can there be zombies in broad daylight?"

"……found it!"

Zhuge Kongping turned his head suddenly and looked at a man in the crowd who was covered in a cloak.

Locked in by Zhuge Kongping's gaze, the man panicked and turned and ran away.

But his running posture was different from that of ordinary people. He did not cross his legs, but jumped and hopped.

"It can still come out in broad daylight. I know it's a rare species without even seeing it. Haha, don't run!"

Zhuge Kongping's face was full of excitement, like a bachelor who met a prostitute. He shouted and ran after her.

A fat man weighing more than 200 pounds managed to run as fast as the wind.

In just a blink of an eye, the man chasing him disappeared into the crowd.

"old……"

Only Zhuge Xiaoming was left standing there with his eyes wide open.

"Huh? Where's your dad?"

Li Kunshan came over from behind, glanced at Zhuge Xiaoming who was standing still, and asked with a smile.

"My dad..."

Zhuge Xiaoming opened his mouth, put his hands on his hips and spoke calmly.

"My dad has already gone in!"

"Really? Then why aren't you going in yet? Did you have to go to the toilet? Well, let me take you in."

Li Kunshan said this and dragged Zhuge Xiaoming towards the county magistrate's mansion.

Zhuge Xiaoming wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he realized that he didn't know when his father would be back, and the time was almost up, so he might as well go in with Li Kunshan to see what was going on.

"I am the best Mao in Hehuan Town. I was recommended by Chief Wang."

At the gate, Li Kunshan took out his business card and a letter of recommendation from Captain Wang.

After checking, the guard let the two people in.

Immediately afterwards, a security guard took Li Kunshan inside.

"It's so big and so impressive~!"

Following behind Li Kunshan, Zhuge Xiaoming opened his eyes wide and kept looking around, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Li Kunshan was also walking and watching, and couldn't help but sneer.

The saying that a clean magistrate earned 100,000 silver coins in three years is still applicable today.

"Please come in."

More than ten minutes later, the guard took Li Kunshan to a yard.

When I walked in, I saw many colleagues already waiting there.

"Friend Li, you're here too."

"Friend Wang, Friend Zhang, you are here too."

Although we are not very familiar with each other, we almost know each other.

After all, the ghost hunting circle is so small, and everyone is from the same area, so who doesn’t know who?

"Isn't this Xiao Ming?"

Seeing Zhuge Xiaoming and Li Kunshan together, everyone couldn't help but wonder.

"Why don't you see Brother Zhuge?"

"My dad..."

"Oh, we're all from Hehuan Town, so I can represent you alone."

"No! My dad..." "It's nothing! Don't say anything if you don't want to be kicked out!"

Li Kunshan glared at Zhuge Xiaoming, helped him shut his mouth manually, and then faced everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Li Kunshan with a look of fear.

Since Li Kunshan can represent Hehuan Town, it means that he is the most powerful Taoist priest in Hehuan Town.

No one had ever seen Li Kunshan's methods, but they had only heard about them. However, everyone was well aware of Zhuge Kongping's abilities.

Even Zhuge Kongping feels inferior to him. Is Li Kunshan really that powerful?

If Li Kunshan was bragging, then why was Zhuge Kongping not there, and why was Zhuge Kongping's son with Li Kunshan?
Thinking of this, everyone frowned again.

It may not be easy to win this bid.

"Everyone is here."

As they were talking, it was almost noon. A middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a Zhongshan suit walked in, accompanied by two guards. It was the county magistrate.

He glanced at the people in the yard, then looked up at the sun, raised his hand and said.

"It's almost time. If you haven't come yet, don't wait any longer. I have something else to do later. Let's get started."

Is this the beginning?

Everyone looked at each other again, all a little cautious.

"I'll come first!"

But there are always people who are impatient. A black wizard came out and started to use his tricks.

Hurrah~!

He took out a black gourd, took a sip of the contents, and then opened his mouth and spit out a flame two or three feet long!
"Great! It sprays farther than those street performers!"

The county magistrate clapped his hands, a playful look on his face.

"My Lord County Magistrate! Look at my methods!"

Immediately afterwards, others, not willing to be outdone, also stepped forward and began to show off.

Some played with peach wood swords, some cast spells, and some played with poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, and centipedes.

In the end, everyone tried their best to win the favor of the county governor and win the bid.

"Let me do it."

After more than ten minutes, watching these people perform, Li Kunshan yawned boredly and walked out.

Seeing that Li Kunshan was about to make a move, everyone stopped and subconsciously made way for him, watching with serious expressions.

Obviously, everyone has regarded Li Kunshan as the biggest competitor.

"Ok?"

As the county magistrate, he was already a shrewd person. Seeing everyone's performance, he couldn't help but re-examine Li Kunshan.

Because Li Kunshan was too young, I didn't take him seriously before, but now it seems that this young man might have something.

Li Kunshan did not hesitate. He stood in the middle of the yard, slowly extended his left index finger and pointed to the sky.

"Index finger pointing to the sky?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going to happen.

Boom~!

The next moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky.

"This is!"

Everyone was startled and looked up hurriedly.

Wherever Li Kunshan pointed his index finger, a thundercloud rolled and flashes of lightning appeared in it.

"Is this true?"

Then, everyone looked at Li Kunshan again, their eyes widened in horror.

"Lefa!"

Boom~!

It didn't take long before there was another roar and a bolt of thunder fell from the sky.

It fell right on Li Kunshan's raised finger, creating a charred pit on the ground.

"It's really thunder magic..."

When he attracted the thunder with his hands, everyone no longer had any doubts and their faces were filled with shock.

Then, he frowned.

Those who dare to come to the county magistrate to solicit business must have some ability, but with their methods, trying to show off in front of Lei Fa is simply asking for humiliation.

"Uu~!"

Li Kunshan withdrew his hand, blew on his left index finger, and a handful of ash flew out. Then he smiled and said.

"Don't be alarmed, I'm just trimming my nails."

"Manicure...manicure?"

Everyone's eyes widened, and then they were speechless.

If you don’t pretend to use thunder magic to trim your nails, you will die!
"Hmph~!"

Then, someone just turned around and left.

It would be bad enough if the means were not up to par, but you can't even pretend to be cool, so what's the point of competing?

Although he cursed Li Kunshan in his heart, he had to admit that the fact that he could use thunder magic to trim nails showed that Li Kunshan had mastered the thunder magic in great detail.

"Amazing……"

Even Zhuge Xiaoming, who was standing next to him, was looking at Li Kunshan with admiration.

Dad is really good at catching ghosts, but he's not as handsome as Li Kunshan! If he could raise his hand to attract thunder, he would be able to charm a bunch of girls.

"Okay~!"

The county magistrate came to his senses, nodded with satisfaction, and pointed at Li Kunshan.

"It's you!"

"Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate, for your appreciation!"

Li Kunshan showed a happy expression, thanked him quickly, and then turned to other people.

"Thank you, fellow Taoists, for your generosity."

"Bah~!"

"shameless!"

The remaining people could no longer bear it, cursed angrily, and left with cold faces.

Li Kunshan smiled and looked indifferent.

The bidding was over, but the county magistrate had other things to do, so everyone, including Li Kunshan, temporarily left the county magistrate's mansion.

"Did I catch up?"

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Zhuge Kongping running towards him panting, and hurriedly asked Zhuge Xiaoming.

"Has it started inside?"

"It's already over, isn't it?"

Zhuge Xiaoming looked helpless and complained.

"Dad, where have you been?"

"I went after a zombie! Damn it, that zombie ran too fast. I used all my strength, but still couldn't catch up."

Speaking of which, Zhuge Kongping still had a look of regret on his face, and then asked another question.

“Then who won the bid?”

“Hey~!”

Zhuge Xiaoming hung his face and nodded at the person beside him.

"No talent, it's me."

Li Kunshan walked over slowly with a smile on his face.

"you?"

Zhuge Kongping's eyes widened, and then his face turned cold.

"It seems the county magistrate's vision is also problematic."

"No, Dad, he's really awesome..."

Hurrah~!

Before Zhuge Xiaoming could finish his words, a figure flew out from nowhere and landed directly behind Li Kunshan.

"You still dare to come back? Great! Now let's see where you can run!"

The man wearing a cloak was the zombie from before.

Zhuge Kongping's face was full of excitement and he was about to take action.

"Mr. Zhuge."

Unexpectedly, just as he took half a step forward, Li Kunshan reached out and stopped him.

"What are you going to do to my subordinates?"

"Your subordinates? You're probably blinded by greed. They're zombies!"

"Of course I know, what's wrong with zombies?"

Li Kunshan smiled and asked back.

"Don't you have a ghost servant at home?"

"Uh……"

Zhuge Kongping was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Let's go, Zhuzhu."

Li Kunshan smiled again, said hello, and walked past Zhuge Kongping with Ren Zhuzhu and left.

"How could it be his?"

Looking at Zhuzhu's back, Zhuge Kongping's face was full of regret.

"Such a rare species actually belongs to that boy. What a pity! It's a complete waste of natural resources!"

"Yeah, and it caused you, Dad, to miss the bidding."

"Yeah, it hurt me... I was fooled by this kid!"

Zhuge Kongping suddenly came to his senses and looked at Li Kunshan's back as he walked away, and he jumped in anger.

"Asshole! From now on, I, Zhuge Kongping, and the world's number one Mao will be irreconcilable!"
