Chapter 567 A Chinese Ghost Story: The Way of the World

Two months later.

Guobei County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The streets and alleys have returned to prosperity.

There was peace both inside and outside the city.

Zhou Mansion.

Pavilion in the courtyard.

A few people sat down and chatted.

"Brother Zhou, we have taken in more than a hundred households of refugees in the past ten days and lent them money and food..." Ning Caichen was reporting the situation to Zhou Qiang.

Two months ago, Zhou Qiang left money and food to ask Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen, and Xiahou Swordsman to do some good deeds.

They did a great job, not only taking in a lot of refugees, but also making Guobei County peaceful.

Of course, Zhou Qiang didn't know what methods were used and how many villains died. Anyway, the result was good.

"There's no interest on the money we loaned, right?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"Of course not, Brother Zhou. Not only do we have no interest, we also provide them with work so that they can work to support their families and pay off their debts."

"How about cultivating the fields outside the city?"

"We have already replanted grain."

"Where are the rebels and bandits in the city?"

"They were all taken away to dig mines, build roads, or farm."

"Where are those corrupt officials?"

"Corrupt officials have all been punished as they deserve."

Zhou Qiang asked a lot of questions.

Ning Caichen and the others handled it very well.

In the past two months, Zhou Qiang has basically been practicing in the mountains and forests.

His cultivation has improved a lot.

Various spells, lightning techniques, and sword techniques are also available, and after getting started, the gold reaches a state of perfection.

"Brother Zhou, we rescued an interesting person in the cell, his name is Zhuge Wolong." Yan Chixia said.

"Zhuge Wolong? He seems to have written many books, right?" Zhou Qiang asked.

Zhuge Wolong is a character in "A Chinese Ghost Story" 2: The Way of the World.

He is an old man.

He has been writing books all his life.

But all his books were banned.

The reason why he was arrested is also quite ridiculous.

Here is a quote from Zhuge Wolong in the movie:

"It's all because my ancestors were blind and told me to pursue knowledge.

When I grow up, I will write books and become a Ph.D.

Who would have thought that when I wrote a travelogue, I would be accused of leaking state secrets.

When writing history, it is said that I use the past to satirize the present.

He went to explain the art of war and said that I was inciting rebellion.

I write fairy tales, but they accuse me of engaging in feudal superstition.

In the end, I had no choice but to write a biography for someone. As a result, that person was arrested and said to be a rebel. He and I were sentenced to life imprisonment.

Do you think you are destined to go to jail?"

This is a very interesting passage.

Maybe one day, all fantasy and fairy tales will be banned, or they will promote feudal superstition.

"Yes, Mr. Zhuge wrote many books. I have read a lot recently." Ning Caichen said.

"I heard that he is a learned and talented scholar, please ask him to help manage Guobei County." Zhou Qiang said. Now, the actual managers of Guobei County are Ning Caichen and others. Those in the county government basically have no rights.

"Okay, Brother Zhou, that's what I have in mind." Ning Caichen said. He also wanted to find a few more people to help with various things.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, something big happened recently. Fu Tianchou, the Minister of War, was framed and is currently being taken to the capital." Yan Chixia said. Fu Tianchou is a famous loyal minister. His arrest has caused a lot of trouble.

People discuss.

"Fu Tianchou was arrested? The court dug its own grave." Zhou Qiang said. The decline of the court often started when loyal ministers were not tolerated by the court.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that someone is uniting to save Master Fu. Should we rescue him?"

"Is the team they are escorting to Beijing passing through Guobei County?"

"Yes, in a few days, the escort team will arrive in Guobei County."

"Who is leading the escort?"

"It's Zuo Qianhu."

"Zuo Qianhu?"

"Zuo Qianhu is a Jinyiwei. He has great martial arts skills and is good at using swords."

"Really? I just want to compare with him to see if his sword is stronger or my sword is sharper." Xiahou swordsman said. Zhou Qiang gave him a sword manual. He has been practicing hard in the past two months and feels that his swordsmanship has improved.

Quite a few. But he didn't compete with Yan Chixia in swordplay. He knew he couldn't stop Yan Chixia's flying sword.

"Brother Yan, does the imperial court have a protector of the country? His name is Pudu Cihang?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"Yes, it is said that the emperor will ask his opinion first for all sacrifices and rituals in the palace." Yan Chixia said.

"Then this Protector of the Country is probably not a kind person." Zhou Qiang said.

"Yes, since he became the protector of the country, many loyal ministers and generals have died, and the emperor has also done many stupid things." Yan Chixia said.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Yan, that Pudu Cihang will also pass by Guobei County in the next few days." Ning Caichen said.

"Really? Let's see what kind of person he is in a few days."

Zhengqi Villa.

A few people chatted for a while.

came here.

"Is that corpse demon still around here?" Zhou Qiang asked.

In the movie, there is a huge corpse monster here in Zhengqi Villa.

In the past two months, Yan Chixia and others were managing Guobei County and received news that there was a huge monster here.

They came to investigate several times and found out that it was a mutated corpse demon.

Yan Chixia personally took action, and although she crippled the corpse demon, the corpse demon was good at escaping and ran away.

Later, Yan Chixia searched for her many times without success.

"There are footprints of the corpse demon nearby, it should still be here." Xiahou Swordsman said.

"It's a pity that I'm not good at escaping, otherwise I wouldn't have let the corpse demon escape." Yan Chixia said.

At this time.

The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.

A young man galloped over on horseback.

He stopped near the crowd.

"Everyone, are you also here to slay demons?" Zhiqiu Yiye asked with a bow.

He is a warlock of the Kunlun sect and is just starting out.

When I came to Guobei County, I saw a warning notice posted on the wall. I knew there was a corpse monster here, so I came to get rid of it.

Naturally, Ning Caichen and others posted the warning notice to tell everyone to stay away from Zhengqi Villa.

"Yes, may I ask your surname?" Zhou Qiang said.

Several people exchanged names and explained their intentions.

"I'm good at the art of earth escape, and my nose is very good. I'd like to track down the corpse demon." Zhiqiu Yiye volunteered.
