After sending Daochang Chen away, Changsun Wuji was a little distrustful, so he asked Duan Yien to take people to the Beast King Mountain, but still found nothing.
Early the next morning, Changsun Chong fell ill. He lay unconscious on the bed. He invited famous doctors from Chang'an City to no avail. Changsun Wuji went to Li Er to plead for mercy. Li Er sent three imperial doctors to make a diagnosis.
, and finally told Changsun Wuji: It’s time to prepare for the funeral!
Changsun Wuji turned pale with fright on the spot, and then went to find Daozhang Chen.
Daochang Chen said: "Master Changsun, your son's condition is very serious. He is haunted by evil spirits. If we cannot cut off the connection between Changsun's family and Beast King Mountain in time, in a few days, we will really have to prepare for the funeral."
"this……"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "That's all, isn't it just those mountains? They are all wasteland. To the Changsun family, they are like chicken ribs. They are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. Why not just sell them... Come here
, go figure out how much those mountains are worth?”
Not long after, the butler Wang Fu appeared with several accounting gentlemen.
Wang Fu said: "Sir, we have already calculated that the area at Beast King Mountain can be sold for at least 100,000 guan at the price of Chang'an City."
"That piece of land is at least 20,000 acres, why is it only worth this little money?" Changsun Wuji frowned.
Wang Fu said: "Sir, although there are some fertile fields at the foot of the mountains in that area, there are still more barren mountains and wild ridges. It is far away from Chang'an. Usually, except for tiger hunting, no one comes to visit at all. One hundred thousand guan is not bad."
"Okay, Wang Fu, I'll leave this matter to you!" Changsun Wuji waved his hand.
Now that Changsun Chong was unconscious, he no longer cared about this.
"yes!"
Wang Fu immediately drew up the contract, prepared the land deeds, and began to lobby the homes of major households in Chang'an City, hoping to sell the land in Beast King Mountain at a high price.
…
"Have you heard that Beast King Mountain is a dangerous place? The eldest grandson of Sikong Mansion rushed there and fell into a coma when he came back..."
"Yes, I heard that the Sikong Mansion has prepared funeral arrangements."
"I heard there are evil spirits there, so don't go near them in the future!"
"Stop talking, be careful of evil spirits!"
In the alleys of Chang'an, similar words spread like wildfire.
…
Snapped.
The tea cup fell to the ground and immediately turned into a pile of fragments.
"What?" Changsun Wuji's angry voice sounded, "Who is spreading the rumor? It's unreasonable. It's really unreasonable. Check it out for me. You must find out who is spreading the rumor!"
Wang Fu said depressedly: "Master, I have already asked people to investigate, but now this matter has caused a storm in the city, and I don't know who leaked the news first. Now, everyone in Chang'an City knows that Beast King Mountain is a dangerous place.
The land was given away for free and no one wanted it, let alone selling it to others..."
Changsun Wuji's face looked like he had eaten a dead toad: "No one wants a piece of land worth one hundred thousand guan. It's really ridiculous... By the way, isn't the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine also in the Beast King Mountain? Isn't it a dream?"
The group didn’t respond? Even if the Dream Group didn’t respond, those craftsmen and people would always escape, right? How did Du He respond?”
Wang Fu said: "Sir, everything is normal at the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine, and there is no movement."
"Oh? It shouldn't be!"
Wang Fu said: "Sir, you don't know, right? Du He claims that he is a civil and military star descending to the earth. With him, he can resist all demons and ghosts. Now, there is a statue of him at the gate of the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine, which can shock everyone."
There are evil spirits in the house, so the craftsmen and the people are not afraid!"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Although Changsun Wuji was superstitious, he disdained to believe such a clumsy lie.
He thought for a while and said: "In that case, let's sell that piece of land to Du He."
Just as he was told, Changsun Wuji dressed up, took a carriage, and arrived at the Dream Group.
Now that Changsun Chong is critically ill and his life is in danger at any time, he can't wait any longer.
In the principal's courtyard of Banshan College, Changsun Wuji finally met Du He.
The last time he came here, he was framed as a sheep thief.
The past events are vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday.
"Du He, we meet again!"
"Master Changsun, did you eat well and sleep well?" Du He asked with a smile.
"Alas," Changsun Wuji sighed, "You must also know that I'm having a hard time these days. Chong'er has fallen ill since he came back from Beast King Mountain, and he hasn't woken up yet. Du He... today,
I came here just for this matter. Daochang Chen said that only by cutting off the relationship between Beast King Mountain and my eldest grandson's family can Chong'er get better. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. But I don't know which bastard spread the rumor that there is a powerful ghost in Beast King Mountain.
It’s a dangerous piece of land. No one wants to buy that land. Others are stupid, but you are the smartest person in the world. You will never believe it, right? Therefore, I intend to sell you that piece of land. I don’t want it for a hundred thousand yuan.
For only 80,000 yuan, you can acquire that piece of land, which happens to be connected to the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine. This is the best of both worlds, what do you think?"
Changsun Wuji put a high hat on Du He when he came up. His real intention was to let Du He take over the county and take over the land.
Du He looked serious, widened his eyes, shook his head like a rattle, and said quickly: "Master Changsun, please don't harm me, I don't want to become the second Changsun Chong... That Beast King Mountain is indeed a dangerous place.
And it is very difficult to deal with. Even in the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine, many craftsmen have seen unclean things at night. As a last resort, I carved a statue of myself and put it there. It finally shocked those things and can protect the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine.
Peace to one side."
"You...your statue is really useful?"
"Haha," Du He said with an embarrassed smile, "Actually, it was all a lie to the people. In fact, it was Old Taoist Yuan Tiangang who was doing this to barely save the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine. However, the ghosts in the mountains were too ferocious, and Old Yuan also
There is no other way, so Mr. Changsun, you should keep this land for yourself, and don’t harm me."
"Duhe..."
"No, it's useless for you to call me uncle."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly stood up and bowed in front of Du He: "I am really forced to come to you because I have no choice but to ask for your help."
If it weren't for Zhang Suchong, how could Changsun Wuji be willing to bow to Du He.
As he spoke, Changsun Wuji bowed slightly.
Du He quickly stood up: "Master Changsun, why are you doing this!"
"I can't help it..."
Du He personally helped Changsun Wuji sit down, and then said in embarrassment: "Master Changsun, that's all, I will do this for you, but the price is high."
"It doesn't have to be 100,000 yuan, or 80,000 yuan. You can give it to me!" Changsun Wuji was so excited when he saw Du He's promise.
Du He stretched out five fingers of his right hand.
Changsun Wuji was immediately overjoyed: "Fifty thousand guan? Okay, I'll give you the land deed right away."
Du He shook his head: "It's not 50,000 guan, it's 5,000 guan."
