As soon as the exorcism technique was used and the ghosts were expelled, Sun Ran knew that the mission was safe.
He was extremely confident in his Taoist teachings. When he saw Li Yuan's praise, he felt very happy and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, my wife is fine and can wait for her childbirth in peace. I will take my leave now."
"Wait a minute!" Li Yuan quickly stopped, and then said to Nian Lei (Xiao Qing) on the side: "Go to the housekeeper and ask him to bring one hundred taels of gold."
Xiaoqing responded and was about to turn around, but was stopped by Sun Ran again.
Sun Ran waved his hand and declined: "Mr. Tang, I am an outsider and my money is of no use to me, so don't bother me."
Li Yuan didn't believe it. Who in the world didn't love money? This conflicted with his values! He thought that if the other party didn't accept money, he must have a deeper conspiracy against him.
He became wary and looked at Sun Ran's expression carefully, only to see that his eyes were clear, his expression was calm but firm, and he seemed to be sincerely refusing.
"So, how can I report Chang's kindness?" Li Yuan is an official and a politician, who values the exchange of interests and has an instinctive resistance to favors without asking for anything in return.
Sun Ran smiled and thought to himself: 'Actually, you have already paid the credit points. Otherwise, for a lecherous and shameless person like you, how could I be so nice and lewd to you? I would have to consider your safety.'
But of course he couldn't say that, and he had already thought of his words: "Tang Gong, as the governor of Qizhou, is the chief of the place, he works diligently and loves the people. The peace and order in Qizhou are clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is already reported to heaven, but
No need to thank me."
"Why is this?" Li Yuan was puzzled. He was diligent in his work. It was for promotion and to show it to the emperor's uncle. What does it have to do with the Taoist leader?
Sun Ran eloquently said: "Everyone has a status, and if you pursue your political affairs in your position, you will gain merit. When Tang Gong is the chief of a place, if he loves the people like a son, he will gain merit in heaven and earth. A poor Taoist is a Taoist."
Today, I will exorcise the ghosts for Duke Tang, restore clarity to the world, and gain merit from heaven and earth. Everyone is just getting what they need. How can we talk about kindness?"
These words made sense. Li Yuan was surrounded by Sun Ran. He frowned and thought deeply, seeming to have some understanding. He asked solemnly: "I dare to ask, sir. What is merit?"
In his opinion, merit is a good thing. If you accumulate it, you can get free help from righteous people. He has to ask clearly.
Sun Ran was a little dumbfounded. He didn't know what merit was. Isn't this a Taoist nonsense? Why did this guy seriously ask about it?
Merit, if you really talk about it, is just a term for credit points. Li Yuan used a lot of credits to buy the Order's services. But for him, Sun Ran, earning merit means earning credits.
.
But can credits be used for ordinary players? No!
Fortunately, Sun Ran has one advantage, that is, his brain works very quickly and he immediately thinks of something to say. He shakes his head and says, "I don't know what merit looks like."
Li Yuan frowned. How could you fool me with something you don't know? Thinking that I'm easy to deceive, he repeated: "You really don't know?"
"God's will is mysterious and unpredictable, and a poor man only understands it a little bit. He only knows that there are merits, but he doesn't know what merits are." Sun Ran did not expect that Li Yuan would be so difficult to deal with.
Li Yuan was disappointed when he saw that Sun Ran's words were true and did not seem to be false, but he was really concerned about merit.
Xiaoqing on the side listened to the two talking nonsense. She pursed her lips hard and lowered her head, wanting to laugh, but she was afraid that Li Yuan would see it, so she suppressed it until her face turned red.
Sun Ran happened to see this expression, and he immediately changed the subject and said to Xiao Qing: "Miss Nian Lei, there is no need to blame yourself. This ghost is extremely cunning. You are still young, so it is normal for you to be deceived by it."
Xiaoqing's face was red, and she looked a little ashamed. Li Yuan had already thought about her. He preferred real women, especially beautiful women, to illusory Taoism.
He immediately changed his mind and comforted him with warm words: "Just do your best. If you hadn't strongly recommended Zhenren Li, I wouldn't have gone there personally. If you can get rid of this ghost, you have done something good."
At this time, he no longer called Taoist Master Sun Ran, but changed his name to a real person.
Xiaoqing was extremely speechless and could only remain silent, but in her heart she scolded Sun Ran for relying on his elders and betraying him a hundred times a thousand times.
'The dead Taoist priest, who may not be older than me, actually pretends to be my elder, how abominable! Curse you for stepping on dog poop when you go out, and falling into the gutter when you walk at night...' I thought for a while.
Naturally, Sun Ran couldn't hear it. Seeing that Li Yuan's intentions towards Xiao Qing were becoming more and more obvious, he probably couldn't hold it in for a long time. He felt that he should help Xiao Qing, so he said to her: "Go up.
During my travels, I happened to meet your master Chang Qing. He asked me to give you a message, asking you to practice well and never be attached to the mortal world. Otherwise, if your Taoism deteriorates, you will be kicked out of the door."
Li Yuan was shocked. He didn't expect that this girl Nian Lei had a real master. The flame in his heart was slightly extinguished, but he was surprised: "Zhen Li, isn't this Taoist Changqing your master?"
Sun Ran laughed: "I am good friends with Master Chang Qing, but what Miss Nian Lei said just now was just a temporary measure to paralyze the ghosts in the hospital."
"Is that so?" Li Yuan looked at Xiaoqing.
Xiao Qing was stunned. This dead man actually took advantage of her and became her master. It was really abominable.
What's even more disgusting is that she had to accept Sun Ran's love and smiled apologetically at Li Yuan: "That's true. The sect's laws are strict. I hope Duke Tang can forgive me."
This was a tactful rejection. Li Yuan was startled and understood the meaning. However, instead of extinguishing the flame in his heart, it became even more intense.
It is said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and it is best not to get it. This Nianlei is a Taoist, and he has a unique aura of being a Taoist, which always attracts him and makes him feel itchy.
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I can understand."
But in my heart, I was planning how to break this girl Nian Lei's Taoist career, so that the immortal Changqing could drive her out of the door, and then...
Sun Ran didn't know that he was doing a disservice, so he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Tang, I'll take my leave first."
"I'll see you off." Li Yuan became very attentive.
Beauty is one of his great hobbies, but compared to power, this hobby takes a back seat.
The officialdom is extremely dangerous. This kind of strange person will definitely be able to discern the secrets of heaven. If you call him at the critical moment, you will benefit a lot. He has already started to make friends in his heart.
Li Yuan sent Sun Ran to the gate of the mansion, still reluctant to leave, and persuaded him: "Master, your cave dwelling is too simple, why not move to the county?"
Before Sun Ran could answer, he added: "Don't worry, I will prepare the house and servants in the county for you. You don't have to worry about everything."
Sun Ran laughed and shook his head again to refuse: "Thank you Mr. Tang for your kindness. I appreciate your kindness. However, the mountains are clean and easy to practice, but poor Taoists don't like to live in busy cities."
The Order cannot live better than ordinary players. This is professional ethics. Moreover, Sun Ran is very clear about Li Yuan's plan, and he just wants to ask him for guidance.
The so-called accepting money from others and helping others to eliminate disasters will lead to disasters. Moreover, Li Yuan is extremely scheming and has the talent of an emperor. If he fails to do so, he will become ruthless. With Sun Ran's character, it is not easy for him to do so.
I like playing with this kind of people.
The previous help was for order maintenance tasks, but other times, he had to distance himself from this person!
After saying that, without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, he waved his sleeves and strode away, walking and singing:
"When you are born, you realize that the world is small. When you become an immortal, you realize that profit and fame are empty;
If you want to ask where your home is, the mountain is at the entrance of Qingyun Cave."
This is a way of expressing his ambition through poetry, telling Li Yuan euphemistically: Don't be sentimental, I am not interested in your methods of winning over people's hearts.
Li Yuan finally had no choice but to stand at the door and watch Sun Ran leave. Until the figure disappeared and the singing gradually faded away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, as if everything was meaningless.
As soon as this thought came up, he immediately slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "This man is really powerful. He can actually touch my mood and almost make me want to transcend the world. But it is best to stay away from this man."
He also has a family, a wife and children, and has many ties that are absolutely impossible to get rid of.
As soon as Sun Ran walked out of Li Yuan's sight, the clouds and mist immediately rose and flew away.
'Oh, it's so easy to make money. There's no challenge. According to the agreement, this is a bronze mission. It's too easy to kill a third-level ghost cultivator with a fourth-level Taoist skill and get 15,000 credit points.
Relaxed.'
As for whether Mrs. Dou will be in danger later, that is another task, and he will not put in extra work.
Moreover, he left behind a mantra to exorcise ghosts and a warning mission. Once someone wanted to forcefully destroy the ghost, he would know immediately and rush over first, and he would not be in trouble.
Back in the cave, Sun Ran felt his stomach was still full, so he sat cross-legged and retreated again. His consciousness once again connected with the four team members in another world through the agreed channel.
