Obsessed with Money
Chapter 510: Obsessed with Money
Qin Mu was startled and turned to look at Chi Xiu. Chi Xiu twisted his neck and buried his head in the feathers, pretending not to see anything.
"Chi Xiu is the King of Hell's confidant, and it's not for nothing. He is determined not to see the King of Hell's ugly side. This is the way to protect himself. If it were anyone else, they would have rushed into the ruins to rescue the King of Hell long ago."
Qin Mu felt emotional. Rescuing the King of Hell was a show of loyalty, but he also saw the King of Hell's ugly behavior, which damaged the King of Hell's image of being wise and mighty. He had both merits and faults, but he didn't know whether he was a great merit or a great fault in the King of Hell's eyes, so he might as well pretend he didn't see it.
Besides, the collapse of the Qin Palace would not hurt the King of Hell at all, so it would be better not to show loyalty.
"Yan Wang said that I can enter the darkness of Daxu and will not be harmed by it. Is it true or false?"
He hesitated a little. Entering the darkness was related to his life. If it was fake, he would die after entering. He didn't dare to try. Since he was a child, he was taught by the villagers of Canlao Village that there was great terror in the darkness of Daxu and he must not enter the darkness. Moreover, Qin Mu also witnessed the great terror in the darkness during his growth, so he never thought about whether he could enter the darkness without being hurt.
He had entered the darkness several times, but he always relied on treasures or god-like strong men to protect himself from the darkness, such as Xing'an's box, the protection of the village chief, and the protection of Huanlongjun, so that he could be safe.
He was still a little afraid to be left alone without any protection.
"Let's go."
Chi Xiu urged: "After sending you away, I also want to rest."
Qin Mu said: "Goddess Chixiu, I still need to go to the Tiansheng Sect and the Human Emperor to take back the dragon unicorn and the box."
Chi Xiu had no choice but to take him to the residences of the successive leaders of the Demonic Cult, only to see that the doors of each household were locked. Long Qilin was locked outside the door of the young ancestor, wagging his tail and knocking on the door with sweet words.
The young master refused to open the door and shouted from inside, "Life and death are two different paths. I am already dead and you are still alive. We cannot be together anymore. Just follow the leader!"
Long Qilin grabbed the door and cried.
The young master couldn't help but choke up. He wanted to open the door, but he was afraid that this guy would run in and rub against him, so he was cruel enough not to open the door.
Qin Mu called Long Qilin and said with a smile: "Long Pang, there is no need to be sad. The ancestor is living well here, and we are living well outside too. We can come to see him anytime in the future."
Long Qilin walked over, illuminated by the pure yang fire that surged from the sun, and flesh and blood faintly appeared on his body. The enormous sun in the sky had risen very high, and looked even bigger, as if it could fall from the sky at any time.
Qin Mu looked up and saw that the temples in the sun looked like they were made of gold. The gods and demons in front of the temples were vaguely visible, beating drums frantically and using pure yang fire to refine Fengdu.
The sun was so close to them that Qin Mu couldn't help but suspect that the gods and demons in the sun might attack at any time.
"They don't dare to attack."
The God Chi Xiu calmly arranged his feathers and said, "This is Fengdu, which is also a part of Youdu. It looks very close, but it is actually very far away. There is a barrier between the worlds, so ordinary gods and demons cannot get through. Besides, we have fought many times before, and they suffered losses. They only dared to hide in the sun and beat drums and shout."
Qin Mu was puzzled and said: "The sun in the sky is very different from the sun in Yankang. This sun..."
"It's the sun of Daxu, really."
The divine man Chixiu said: "Yankang's sun is fake."
Qin Mu was shocked. This sun was too scary. Fortunately, they lived in the illusion of the sun, moon and stars. Otherwise, if the people of Yankang saw such a scary sun, even the emperor would probably go crazy.
"Grandmaster, do you have money?"
Qin Mu asked through the crack in the door: "It takes Fengdu gold coins to enter Fengdu. I only have three gold coins here. You need gold coins to take the boat."
The young ancestor pushed a few gold coins through the crack in the door and said, "I just died not long ago. There is not much money here. You should spend it sparingly."
Qin Mu said yes, and went to knock on the doors of other leaders to ask for money, saying: "Fellow leaders, if you don't pay, I will stop your offerings and tear down your spirit tablets."
"You are a scum who betrays your teacher and ancestors! It's just money, right? Take it!"
Qin Mu knocked on every door and extorted money from them. He got one or two hundred Fengdu gold coins. Then he came to the place where the emperors lived and asked about the strange beasts in front of the Five Suns Temple, saying, "Has the First Ancestor returned?"
The two strange beasts ran into the temple, threw Taotie out of the Five Suns Temple, and said, "The master has never returned."
Taotie fell to the ground and was burned by the sun's true fire. It suddenly burst into pieces and turned into a big box, following obediently behind Long Qilin.
"Master Qin, it's time to go!" Chi Xiu urged.
"God Chixiu, please wait for a moment."
Qin Mu came to the Second Ancestor's house again. The Second Ancestor opened the door but did not leave the temple. He was probably worried about being burned by the Pure Yang True Fire. He said, "I am penniless and have no money. I can only go to the First Ancestor's house to beg for money."
Qin Mu took out a few Fengdu gold coins and said with a smile: "I know you have always been a man of high moral character, so I sent you a few gold coins so that the Second Ancestor can get by for the time being. When I go to the Human Emperor Palace, I will spend money to support the ancestors of all generations in their old age."
The Second Ancestor was overjoyed and hurriedly took the gold coins, saying, "You are much more filial than Su! Su hasn't come back yet, and when he comes back we plan to give him a big surprise!"
Qin Mu said: "Second Ancestor, don't forget to tell the village chief that I have been here."
"Don't worry, you must tell him!" said the Second Patriarch gritting his teeth.
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Second Ancestor, can you lend me the First Ancestor's Life and Death? I want to use it for business..."
The Second Patriarch was puzzled and asked, "How can you do business between life and death?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "There are many gods and demons in Fengdu, but they cannot go to the mortal world. Many of them have unfulfilled wishes, so I want to build a bridge between life and death, so that the supernatural powers of Yankang can come to the realm of life and death and make deals with them. The supernatural powers will receive their gold coins, or learn their supernatural powers and Taoist techniques from their lifetime to help them fulfill their wishes. I think this may be a big business! I plan to pave the way for Daxu, and I also need some money to supplement my family income."
The Second Patriarch was still somewhat puzzled and asked, "Where does the money come from?"
Qin Mu explained: "The supernatural powers who enter the realm between life and death give me money, and I collect money from the living world, and then I can make a lot of money."
The Second Patriarch suddenly realized what was going on and scolded him with a smile, "You little thief."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "The space between life and death connects Fengdu and the world of the living. Second Ancestor can also collect money from the gods and demons who enter the space between life and death. He can also make a lot of money. Even if I don't burn incense and paper money, you can all live in peace. In a few years, all the ancestors will be the richest people in Fengdu City!"
The Second Patriarch was dumbfounded and said in a lost voice, "Taking money from both sides? Is there such a good thing? Won't they stab us in the back and scold us?"
Qin Mu said: "Life and death are in our hands. This is the only road that connects the underworld and the living world. Even if they curse us, they still have to take our road and pay us."
The Second Patriarch hurried out of the house, carrying the Pure Yang True Fire, and headed straight for the First Patriarch's Five Yang Temple. He didn't care about the raging fire on his body and rushed into the temple to take out the Between Life and Death.
The two giant beasts guarding the gate curled their lips and said, "Second Master, this is the only fortune our family has. It will be emptied out by you sooner or later!"
The Second Patriarch smiled and said, "Is it possible that my master is being distant with me? If I become prosperous, you will also benefit from it."
Qin Mu took over the life and death, but there was a small river, about ten feet long, with boats and bridges.
The Second Ancestor instructed: "You should first make a sacrifice between life and death. When you start the sacrifice, I will be able to sense it. Remember, you should do it at night. If you do it during the day, you will see the scene now. The gods in the sun will come and burn us, and we will not be able to do business."
Qin Mu said yes, hung Changhe on his body, and said, "Second Ancestor, just wait for my news."
The Second Patriarch remembered something and said hastily, "Business is a small matter. Don't spend too much energy on it. You should focus on your cultivation. Leave the matter of collecting money to others."
Qin Mu nodded and said, "I understand." Then he took out some Fengdu gold coins and gave them to him, saying, "Please give them to the other ancestors and the master. Let's spend the next few days first."
"The Emperor Qin is thoughtful."
Qin Mu said goodbye and left. The divine man Chi Xiu sent him to the boundary marker of the world of the dead and said, "After the boundary marker, there will be no pure Yang fire. You can go back by boat."
Qin Mu expressed his gratitude and walked out of the realm of the dead. His body was completely restored to normal. He waved to the Chixiu Divine Man, but he saw that the Chixiu Divine Man suddenly spread his wings and flew away.
Qin Mu came to the dock and called the lone boat in the sea of fog. Taoist Ling Jing in the form of a skeleton rowed the boat and carried him, Long Qilin and the box to the other side of the sea of fog.
When they reached the other side, Qin Mu got off the boat and took out three gold coins to pay for the fare. Taoist Ling Jing was surprised and said quickly, "They are not human beings. We won't accept money."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Master, just keep it."
Taoist Ling Jing quickly accepted it and asked tentatively, "Has the Emperor Qin become rich?"
Qin Mu laughed loudly: "I'm about to get rich! Taoist priest, goodbye."
Taoist Ling Jing watched him go away, hid the gold coins carefully, and thought to himself: "If I work for a few hundred more years, I can also buy a house in Fengdu..."
The divine man Chi Xiu returned to the Palace of the King of Qin, only to see that the collapsed Palace of the King of Qin had been restored to its original state. The divine man Chi Xiu walked in carefully, only to see the King of Hell standing behind the palace, looking at the fire outside the door.
"The visitor from Wuyou Township is very interesting."
The King of Hell suddenly laughed and said, "Although he was not born in Wuyou Township, his bloodline is after all a descendant of Kaihuang, and he is quite extraordinary. In this short time together, I have great expectations for him. If it was his father who came, I would have great expectations, but I would be disappointed afterwards. However, although I was very disappointed with his arrival before, my expectations are now growing."
The divine man Chi Xiu did not understand what he meant and said, "This Patriarch Qin, the Human Emperor Qin, is an extremely erratic person. Why does the King of Hell have high hopes for him? He has been in our Fengdu for most of the day, and he beat up all the Human Emperors of all generations, smashed the palace of Patriarch Zuyang, and beat up all the Demon Patriarchs of all generations. He just ran over to extort all the Patriarchs of all generations, and then asked for the power between life and death, intending to connect the underworld and the world of the living. What kind of business is this! Isn't this nonsense?"
The King of Hell turned around and said with a smile: "Fengdu is too deserted. Let him make some efforts. Maybe it will bring unexpected changes. I have never seen such an interesting and thoughtful person. Maybe he can do things that others can't do. Moreover, the secret of him is not as simple as he imagined. I am looking forward to it even more..."
The divine man Chixiu was surprised: "Did the King of Hell really allow him to connect Fengdu and the world of the living and let him do business?"
The King of Hell waved his hand and said no more.
The Youdu was extremely dark. Even though the sun had risen, it was still pitch black. There was no sky, no land, no sun, moon, or stars.
Xing'an was drifting in the darkness when a faint voice sounded and woke him up.
"Xing'an, wake up..."
