Chapter 82: Lobbyist, things have changed, Huang Daogong asked me to bring you a message
"Brother Yimei, Brother Qianhe, you, you..."
In the dream, Taoist Simu looked at Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe who appeared in the dream, his face full of excitement, but then he thought of something and became sad.
"Brother Yimei, Brother Qianhe, I never thought that we brothers would meet again, but we have already been separated by the Yin and Yang."
He looked at the two brothers who had appeared in his dreams and said sadly, "Have a good journey, we are fellow disciples. I will burn paper money for you during festivals."
Uncle Jiu looked at the frivolous Taoist Simu with a frown on his face and said unhappily, "Who died? You're the one who died. We're still alive and well. Who are you cursing?"
"Brother Yimei, you said you're still alive!?"
Taoist Simu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Why are you still dreaming to me?"
"Humph, who has the time to dream for you? I thought you were the one who came to me in my dream after you died!"
Uncle Jiu snorted coldly and retorted without any courtesy.
"Brother Yimei, you're alive, but Brother Qianhe..." Taoist Simu confirmed that Uncle Jiu didn't seem to be joking. He looked at Taoist Qianhe in astonishment, "Brother, you, you... weren't you bitten to death by a zombie!?"
He couldn't help but talk about the death of Taoist Qianhe.
"What!?"
Uncle Jiu was shocked and looked at Taoist Qianhe, who could no longer maintain his smile. "Junior brother, is what Simu said true?!"
Taoist Qianhe sighed lightly, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yimei, what Brother Simu said is true. I was incompetent and let a zombie break out of the coffin, killing a bunch of people and ultimately getting myself into trouble."
He always felt guilty about this matter.
Even though the royal zombies have been eliminated, he still can't get over the hurdle in his heart. He thinks it was his own dereliction of duty that ultimately led to the disaster, allowing the royal zombies to jump out and kill a large group of people.
Fortunately, Huang Daogong was in charge and got rid of this royal zombie, otherwise it would have caused a greater disaster.
“I never thought it would be like this!”
Uncle Jiu looked a little dazed. He could never have imagined that the reunion of fellow apprentices that should have been filled with laughter and joy would turn out to be a farewell between the living and the dead.
Things are different and people are not the same, everything is over. If you want to speak, shed tears first!
His expression was gloomy, and he sighed, "Junior Brother, do you have any unfinished business in this world, so you came to us in a dream? If so, just tell me, and I will definitely help you complete it."
"Yes, yes, my senior brother will help you fulfill your last wish. He will also burn paper money for you during festivals and holidays, so that you can live comfortably in the netherworld."
Taoist Simu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Last wish!?" Taoist Qianhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Everything is fine now, and I have no regrets."
His original dying wish was to destroy the royal zombies that broke out of the coffin.
But the royal zombies have been eliminated by Huang Daogong.
He has no other regrets.
Uncle Jiu and Taoist Simu looked at Taoist Qianhe in confusion, "So you sent us a dream just to see us?"
"That's not true."
Taoist Qianhe said with a smile: "To be honest, I am not in the underworld now. Instead, I serve under Huang Daogong as a Soul-Suppressing General. I am responsible for leading Huang Daogong's group of underworld officials to patrol the jurisdiction and protect the people."
"The Soul-Suppressing General under Huang Daogong!?"
Uncle Jiu and Taoist Simu were both shocked.
"Yes, Junior Brother, I have humble abilities. It is only thanks to Mr. Huang Dao's kindness that I was able to take on the position of Soul-Suppressing General."
Taoist Qianhe said with a slight embarrassment, "Not only that, Huang Daogong was so kind as to bestow upon me a sword that can release divine thunder to ward off evil. I am truly humbled by your kindness."
"A sword that can unleash divine thunder to ward off evil!?"
A look of envy appeared on Taoist Simu's face. This treatment was too good!
It made him want to join Huang Daogong's army and work for him after his death.
Uncle Jiu said casually, "Come to think of it, Huang Daogong also gave me two treasures to ward off evil spirits. They are still enshrined in the charity cemetery and are not easily taken out for use."
As he spoke, he looked at Taoist Simu, and Taoist Qianhe couldn't help but look over at him.
"???"
Facing the direct gazes of his two fellow disciples, Taoist Simu had a question mark on his forehead, what do you mean by looking at me like that?
It’s amazing to have the treasure bestowed by Huang Daogong!
I tell you, I’m not envious, not at all!
He gritted his teeth secretly, wondering why Huang Daogong was so partial? They were all fellow disciples, but he was the only one who was not given the treasure.
It's too heartbreaking.
"Brother Yimei, Brother Simu, actually, this time I came to you in a dream, besides reminiscing about the past, I also have something more important to tell you."
After the fellow disciples reminisced about the past, Taoist Qianhe's face turned serious and he began to get to the point.
"Junior brother, please speak."
Uncle Jiu saw that Taoist Qianhe looked solemn and couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Brother, it's about the horse thieves."
"Horse thief!?"
Uncle Jiu's expression became serious. This was a matter of great importance concerning the safety of Renjia Town. He understood that it was the prayers of Master Ren and others during the day that reached the ears of Huang Daogong, and Huang Daogong specially sent Taoist Qianhe as a messenger to warn him.
"Junior brother, please explain it more carefully."
Uncle Jiu pretended to listen attentively. This was a matter of life and death, and he could not afford to be careless.
Taoist Simu listened with a confused look on his face, having no idea what was going on.
Qianhe nodded and told the whole story about the origin, identity and special skills of this group of horse thieves.
Huang Dao didn't need to tell Uncle Jiu directly how to deal with this group of horse thieves.
With Uncle Jiu's ability, as long as he knows the characteristics of the horse thieves and an overview of their special skills, he will be able to come up with a solution.
"I understand!"
Sure enough, Uncle Jiu knew how to deal with this group of horse thieves after a little thought.
Taoist Simu listened idly for a long time to the story about the horse thieves, as this matter had little to do with him.
As a man living in the deep mountains and forests, he doesn't have to worry about horse thieves at all.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Qianhe glanced at him and said, "Brother, I have something to ask of you."
"Um!?"
Taoist Simu was caught off guard by the question. He didn't expect the topic to be about himself. He was stunned for a moment, "Junior brother, go ahead."
"It's about the little prince."
Taoist Qianhe sighed softly, "I was entrusted with a task, but I messed it up. Now only the little prince is left alive. If possible, I hope that Senior Brother can help me send the little prince back to the capital. This can be regarded as a way to make up for the mistakes I made."
"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I will send that brat to the capital."
Taoist Simu agreed solemnly.
"I'm here to thank my senior brother."
Taoist Qianhe bowed gratefully, then suddenly asked, "Brother Simu, are you planning to live in the mountains and forests forever?"
Taoist Simu replied casually, "I live quite comfortably in the mountains. The scenery is beautiful, and no one disturbs me. Besides, my job only allows me to live in a secluded place..."
As a corpse driver, he naturally lived in the mountains to avoid frightening others...
Taoist Qianhe sighed softly, "Brother, after this death, I've understood a lot of things. You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Especially for us corpse drivers, a sudden accident could kill us."
"Brother, being a corpse driver isn't a long-term job. If possible, you should quit as soon as possible and find a town to settle down and spend the rest of your life in peace."
"You want me to move!?"
Taoist Simu was stunned again. He had indeed thought about moving before, but it was just an angry remark made because he was annoyed by the sound of Master Ikkyu's chanting.
If he really had to move away, he would be a little reluctant.
Uncle Jiu looked at Taoist Qianhe thoughtfully. He pondered for a moment, then offered some words of support. "I think what Junior Brother Qianhe said makes sense. After all, you can't be a corpse driver forever. You should make plans sooner rather than later."
He paused, then continued, "Besides, if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider Jiale. He's a young man, he can't live in the mountains and forests with wild animals for the rest of his life, right?"
After what happened with Taoist Qianhe, he also thought that the job of a corpse driver was too dangerous. If he wasn't careful, the corpse would be left exposed in the wilderness without a trace.
If you are not forced by life, it is better to change your career as soon as possible.
"Jiale!?"
Taoist Simu was silent for a while, with some hesitation on his face.
Although he is usually very strict with Jiale, he still hopes that Jiale will get better.
Just as Uncle Jiu said, it is indeed a bit cruel to let Jiale live in the mountains for the rest of his life.
Uncle Jiu saw that Taoist Simu was wavering, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "I have a good place here. If you want to move, I can help you."
"Well... let me think about it!!"
Taoist Simu frowned, unable to make a decision for a moment.
Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't push too hard, lest Taoist Simu rebel and simply quit.
So, the three brothers stopped talking about their worries and talked about their respective 4.8 life situations and interesting experiences over the years.
Taoist Priest Simu and Taoist Priest Qianhe are corpse drivers. What they talked about were all what they saw and heard on the road, as well as the thrilling moments when they were driving corpses.
Uncle Jiu stays in Renjia Town all year round, helping people with feng shui, handling funerals, and occasionally exorcising demons, so his life seems a little dull.
However, only those who have experienced the vicissitudes of life will understand that thrills and excitement are only temporary adventures, and the ordinary and plain life is the real life.
The three brothers met in the dream and chatted for half the night before leaving with a sense of reluctance. They left the Zodiac Temple one after another and fell into their original dreams.
When Taoist Qianhe saw that his two senior brothers had left, he immediately stood up and returned to the real Huang Dao Temple to report to Huang Dao.
Huang Dao entrusted him with two things. One was to tell Uncle Jiu the specific information about the horse thieves so that Uncle Jiu could make preparations early. The other was to persuade Taoist Simu to move and not be buried in the deep mountains and forests for the rest of his life.
Now two things have been accomplished.
I just don’t know whether Taoist Simu will move.
Huang Dao listened to Taoist Qianhe's report and nodded slightly. He was sure that Taoist Simu would definitely move.
Just as Uncle Jiu wanted to save money to help Wencai and Qiu Sheng move to the provincial capital, Taoist Simu's concern for Jiale is no less than anyone else's.
For the sake of Jiale's future.
Taoist Simu will move.
Chapter 83: Moving, unexpected wealth, Huang Daogong is really the God of Wealth
Four-eyed Dojo!!
Early in the morning, Taoist Simu suddenly announced something important, "Jia Le, we're moving!"
"what!?"
Jiale was completely bewildered, staring blankly at the high-spirited Taoist Simu, "Master, am I dreaming?"
"What are you dreaming about? Master is serious!"
Taoist Simu rolled up the sleeves of his loose robe, put his hands on his waist, and said seriously, "We are moving, moving out of the mountains and into the town."
"Simu, you said you wanted to move!?"
Master Ikkyu came over upon hearing the noise and looked in astonishment at Taoist Simu who was packing his luggage.
"Hmph, monk, the noise of your chanting keeps me awake every day. I can't stand it anymore. I want to move and take Jiale to live outside the mountains."
Taoist Simu hummed and moaned, attributing the reason for the move to the sound of Ikkyu's chanting.
"Amitabha, this is my fault."
Master Ikkyu chanted the Buddha's name with a kind look on his face, and said with a smile, "But I have returned from my travels, and I just want to be your neighbor. Wherever you move, I will move there too."
Taoist Simu looked at Master Ikkyu's shameless appearance and snorted angrily, "Monk, you insist on being a psoriasis that keeps pestering me, don't you?!"
