Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

"Land deed?!"

Li Feng found the term strange; he had never imagined such a thing existed.

The leader of the men in blue bowed to Li Feng. "It's like this, Master. This was arranged by the servants of the manor. The court is in chaos, and disputes are rampant. The Blue Robe Gang has been entrusted with the stability of Beiding Prefecture, so they need to obtain land deeds from various counties first!"

Li Feng frowned slightly, waiting for Mr. Lin next to him to explain before he understood that the land certificate was simply a certificate of the land vein of a place.

In the past, the position was usually guarded by an officially appointed Earth Lord. This Earth Lord was different from a righteous god like the Earth God; it was a relatively high-ranking position in the profession, and it was rumored that he was appointed by the top-ranking officials.

In this chaotic world, there are no longer any truly powerful figures. From generals in the provinces to waiters in the mansions, everyone is eager to take advantage of the turmoil and accumulate some fortune for themselves.

If one gains power, then one becomes a top-tier figure, capable of commanding the world, and it is not impossible.

Just like in Beiding Prefecture right now, there is a waiter there. In the past, he was just someone who didn't care about worldly affairs and only helped deal with evil spirits and the like. But now it's different. The situation has changed, and it seems that the country is about to change hands.

These warlords of troubled times all had to step forward and wade into these muddy waters.

As for the land deeds under the jurisdiction of Gaoyin County, to put it bluntly, they are in the hands of Granny Hu. She is not a free person either. If she hadn't been bewitched by the previous land deity, Snake Man, and accepted the land deeds, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

Not to mention, when they saw the waiters from Beiding Prefecture interrogating them, they were trembling with fear and dared not speak, for fear of being coerced and skinned alive.

Seeing that Grandma Hu was no longer the same as before, she became timid and hesitant, as if afraid of being seen by others.

The leader of the gang in blue, looking at the half-piece of iron certificate in his hand, said to Li Feng, "Master, it's not that we've offended you, but we have orders from above. We're just doing our jobs, so please do us a favor."

Li Feng shook his head. "It's not up to me, it's not up to you, and it's not up to your waiter either. This really needs to be weighed."

Hearing Li Feng's words, the leading man in blue raised an eyebrow and glanced at Li Feng, seemingly surprised that Li Feng would say such a thing. "Master, we are all from the same sect, and we should know the rules. Of the so-called Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost, Heaven is number one. When the leader of the Heaven sect speaks, no one dares to disobey. Besides, this is to maintain the stability of the area. Please don't make things difficult for us, Master."

Li Feng laughed, a laugh tinged with disdain. "You only come here after everyone's dead, spouting this nonsense about maintaining peace in this area. Do you really think you're some kind of local official? Where were you when those evil spirits were killing people? Now that things are settled, you remember to clean up the mess and reap the rewards?"

"I've made it clear to you, no, it's impossible!"

Li Feng spoke with such confidence that Lu Junyi and the others behind him were stunned, their backs drenched in cold sweat. They hadn't expected Li Feng to be so bold as to speak to a waiter's subordinate like that.

Not to mention Granny Hu hiding behind them. Don't be fooled by her years of experience; she's still just a land magistrate who has received land deeds, and it's true that a higher-ranking official can crush a lower one.

Grandma Hu only realized what was going on after the snake-man left in a panic. Why would the landowner suddenly give up his land and offer it to her? The current situation clearly showed that she was being used as a sacrifice.

So, the reason why we went to such lengths to push Hong Xiang'er out was to leave something for our lineage, otherwise, if they were all killed, we wouldn't be able to face our ancestors in the afterlife.

But now, looking at the situation before her, Grandma Hu felt that she didn't understand how Li Feng, a mere shop assistant, dared to challenge the waiter's subordinate, especially since this person seemed to be a skilled expert.

"Master chef, we admit your skills are superb, but we have to take this person with us today. If we don't, this place is going to be in big trouble!"

Upon hearing what the man in blue said, Li Feng did not answer directly. Instead, he stepped in the middle, slamming his dagger into the ground. "Just as I said, no one can take this man away today."

The man in blue frowned even more deeply. He really couldn't understand why this little mortician was so out of touch with reality. This world no longer belonged to the Great Yi Dynasty. To put it bluntly, this Beiding Prefecture was now the domain of the Green Robe Gang leader's godfather.

"Since the master chef has put it this way, we can only apologize for offending him."

The man in blue sighed slightly. He considered himself to be a master of the Dao, and even if he was not the best, he should be able to fight to a draw with the master chef in front of him. After all, they were both shopkeepers. Although their skills were different, they did not rely on the same level of Daoist cultivation.

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to leave. They did follow some rules, as the people in the sect never bullied the weak with numbers.

This man in blue is a treasure hunter in the land-related trade. He is best at finding treasures in mountains and rivers, so his skills come from finding treasures.

"Master, this treasure of ours is called the Mountain-Suppressing Stone. Don't underestimate this small stone; it's quite heavy inside. Be careful!"

Li Feng nodded. It seemed that this man in blue was a man of substance, and he even revealed his precious abilities. Just as the man in blue was about to flick his finger and throw the stone at him...

Li Feng subtly pointed his finger and stepped forward, deftly deflecting a heavy blow. This skill originated from Lu Junyi's animal-handling tricks, which were used to amuse monkeys.

Lu Junyi was stunned. When did this skill become so fancy? Not to mention that the boulder spun around and then suddenly crashed back down.

The man in blue was startled and shouted, causing everyone around him to retreat three zhang (approximately 10 meters). Only then did the man stare at the deep pit, speechless for a long time.

"Brothers, let's get this party started, let's flip the table!"

The man in blue finally couldn't hold back any longer. He realized that Li Feng was not only highly skilled, but also had a wide range of techniques. If he were to continue playing this game one-on-one with Li Feng, he would eventually be played to death.

So we might as well break the rules and ask the waiter to step in!
