“I’d like to ask if it’s plain inside and outside. It seems like someone has passed away. Why isn’t there no sadness?”
Wei Hao knew what he was asking, but the funeral organizers saw that he was tall and majestic, and he was just a passerby, so he said cheerfully: "My great-uncle and grandmother passed away at the age of one hundred and one. Renrui passed away, and this is considered a happy event here."
"Since you are auspicious, you should offer incense and bow before you."
After saying that, Wei Hao casually wrapped a piece of silver in moxa as an apology for disturbing him, and then kowtowed and offered incense in the small courtyard.
He saw that although the small courtyard was simple, it was kept clean, and he knew that even if the children and grandchildren of this family did not come to take care of it, they would have helped clean it in the past. It was very rare to have no dust on the window edges and no grass on the corrugated roof.
Even in Beiyang Mansion, Wei Hao saw many cases of old people living in thatched huts without anyone taking care of them.
After some inquiring, I learned that my family name is Hong, and I am the great-uncle and grandmother of the funeral director. Her life has been rough. She lost her father when she was young, her husband in middle age, and her son in old age. After that, she has been a widow for more than 40 years, and she does not want to bother the younger generations.
, making a living by rinsing.
After her death, she cleared out seven or eighty taels of silver, mostly due to the filial piety and care given by the younger generations in the past. However, she had been pure all her life and almost never used it.
On the contrary, there were many descendants who helped their former neighbors, so after Wei Hao offered incense and knelt down, two to three hundred people came to worship him, including men, women, old and young, which made Wei Hao, a foreigner, very emotional.
"So it turns out that the Golden-armored Crocodile King has undergone a big change here."
"This is what great enlightenment means..."
A voice sounded, and an old man was seen fishing on the water raft. After taking off his bamboo hat and raincoat, he showed a sly smile. Is it Yuan Junping or who?!
"Mr. Yuan?! Why didn't I notice your breath?"
"Everyone has said that I have immortal talents. It's just that I don't have the strength, not the talent."
After saying this, Yuan Junping chuckled and said, "I counted with my fingers and knew that a noble person would come to kowtow to the old lady of the Hong family. I also calculated that the old lady of the Hong family actually saved the golden-armored crocodile king. I guessed that Xianggong Wei probably
I will come here to find out. Sure enough, I caught dozens of fish here and finally waited for Mr. Wei."
"Mr. Yuan, are you waiting for me?"
"To be honest, Pindao made a fortune for himself, 'Ming Ming is at the bottom, He He is at the top.' It can be seen that he is going to the 'Da Ming State' to hide. But Wei Xianggong also said before that he should not harm the ancestral family again.
, so the poor Taoist thought of diverting this disaster elsewhere. Wei Xianggong, you have a hard life, would you like to help me, the old Taoist?"
The tone was that of discussion, that is, the sloppy Taoist's legs were already trembling, and he was ready to kneel down at any time. If Wei Hao did not agree, he must kneel down until Wei Hao agreed.
There was no other way. After leaving "Chaohu", he didn't dare to walk around for fear of being struck by lightning.
Only by diverting his attention and diverting his breath could he have a chance to survive.
There is a saying that Yuan Junping has never seen Wei Hao so stubborn in his life.
I can't calculate Wei Hao's origins, and I don't know what kind of ghost reincarnation he is, but one thing can be calculated. Before Wei Hao's reincarnation, he was sure that gods and ghosts were all false.
This is great!
He, Yuan Junping, was not afraid of anything else but the gods and ghosts causing trouble; Wei Hao, on the other hand, was so reckless that the gods and ghosts would press him down and rub him on the ground.
Isn't it beautiful that both sides complement each other and everyone is happy?
But here comes the question, why should Wei Hao help him?
Yuan Junping didn't take advantage of him for a while. He had only money in his pocket and no magic weapon. He was extremely shabby and destitute, so he had no choice but to "show love".
It is really embarrassing to kneel down in front of a group of monsters and monsters. After all, it is also a "Great Xia God's Calculation". Isn't it shameful?
So I came here secretly, just to wait for Wei Hao to show up, then kneel down and wail.
There is really no way out. He will die if he goes an extra hundred miles to the southeast, northwest, or northwest.
"'Da Mingzhou'?"
"Yes, the land of the ancient Ming Dynasty, the ancestral court of the 'Suiming clan'. I'll go there to hide, Taoist priest, there's still a chance."
"Can we change the place? Human Ancestor can't appear again and again."
"There's no way, there's really no way..."
Yuan Junping gritted his teeth, looked around and saw no one around, and finally knelt down, "Xiangong Wei, with my little strength, I can't even deal with the Demon King. Although you gave me the peach charm, if the Demon King takes action, this peach charm is enough."
I'm running away. Besides, this isn't the Demon King's fault, it's the land gods who want to refine me."
"..."
This shocked Wei Hao, "What are you doing after practicing?"
"Just think of me as a treasure of heaven and earth. I can refine it into magical treasures and make elixirs. In short, it's much better than the Ten Thousand Years Red Fruit or something like that."
It was purely a show of mentality. Yuan Junping had no "divine calculation" style. He knelt there and said sincerely, "As long as I survive the catastrophe and great changes, Mr. Wei, believe me, I will definitely be able to help you."
"How can you help me?"
Wei Hao didn't even know, so he was confused.
"You definitely don't need it now, but after a while, in short... a long time, you will be able to use me."
After saying that, Yuan Junping said again, "Xiangong Wei, you are no match for the earthly immortals now. They can live forever and never die in the human world. Even if you beat them to a pulp, it will be useless. They are more difficult to deal with than the ghosts and immortals. But I have someone
If something can help, of course it depends on Mr. Wei's ability."
It was also very refreshing. Yuan Junping directly took out a "tube post" from his sleeve. There was a line of small words on it: Sixth Level Earth Immortal Record.
"What do you mean?"
Wei Hao was about to open it, but was stopped by Yuan Junping, "Wait until I leave before opening it, otherwise my secret will be exposed, and then it won't be some demon king who came here following his scent, but a group of shameless earthly immortals.
"
"That's okay."
Wei Hao put away the "Sixth Level Earth Immortal Record" and said, "How can I help you?"
"This is simple."
Yuan Junping agreed when he saw Wei Hao so readily. He thought he was worthy of being a strong man in the world, and quickly handed a bead to Wei Hao, "'Shen Nong Bead', it can detoxify and hunt for treasures. It is a top-notch treasure that can be found outside the mortal world."
It's not that common. I've been hiding it for decades, and it can be considered a warm and nourishing product. It contains the aura of the old Taoist. After I hide, I'll search for it when I search the world. When I search for it, I'm looking for you. When I'm looking for you, I have to think about it.
Thinking about how to deal with it..."
Having said this, Yuan Junping still felt a little embarrassed, "Xiangong Wei, I will definitely be able to help you when I get through the disaster."
"Mr. Yuan, you can rest assured that I will not go back on what I promised. To be honest, I am worried about how to quickly improve my strength."
"..."
The sloppy Taoist twisted his mouth, thinking that he was kneeling down in vain?!
Wei Hao smiled slyly: "I mainly want to see Mr. Yuan's sincerity."
"You scholars..."
Yuan Junping stretched out his finger and tapped Wei Hao, blew his beard and glared, "That's really bad."
"so far so good……"
After cupping his hands, Wei Hao said, "With this treasure, it will be easy to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the future. Then I asked Sister Bai to help me practice it."
"I was about to talk about this."
Yuan Junping reminded, "Sister Bai is similar to me, a Taoist priest. She is also a fairy, but she is a dragon and is naturally difficult to find. As the saying goes, 'the dragon sees its head but not its tail'. This is the truth. But now the Bai family is completely finished.
, even if there is a big opportunity waiting for you, you still have to live until that time. White Snake has nowhere to go now, and she will only be harmed if she stays here. You must protect her."
"Don't worry about that."
"There is one more thing, which I added after calculating the name of 'Chaohu'."
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Junping said, "No matter who I meet or who I surprise, Mr. Wei will continue to move forward as before!"
"Um?"
Wei Hao immediately knew that this was something difficult to elaborate on, but in general Wei Hao could guess which direction it was, either a strong person in cultivation, or a noble person on the road to fame.
Nothing more than these two.
After thinking for a while, Wei Hao nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, I won't kowtow when the emperor comes."
"..."
Yuan Junping was silent for a while and said, "How about I kowtow to you again, Taoist priest?"
"Isn't that true?"
"Forget it, Taoist priest, I am finally relieved now. I can run away and bring disaster to Damingzhou."
After saying that, Yuan Junping blew a breath and transformed into a paper kite. He jumped up, transformed into the pattern on the paper kite, and then ran to the north of the Yangtze River.
Speaking of which, Yuan Junping is also a "human immortal". Wei Hao thought that with his ability, normally not many people can kill him, right?
As for surviving to this point?
But after thinking about it from another perspective, I think it makes sense.
I picked up the "Shennong Pearl" and looked at it. I saw that it was just an ordinary green bead, and there was nothing magical about it. But since Yuan Junping said that, I took it as true.
Just thinking about being kept by that sloppy Taoist priest for decades, Wei Hao wondered if it was something like "sweat pills" and planned to wash it after returning.
As for "The Record of the Sixth Level Earthly Immortal", seeing that Yuan Junping had disappeared, he opened it directly by the river and read it.
"The Immortals of Life, Death, Ears, Mouth, Nose, Six Desires, and Six Levels of Heaven and Earth are as follows: Lord Blue Water, who attained the Tao through the clear water of the Sixth Level of Heaven, lived forever, and was immortal in the world. During the Tang Dynasty, there was a Taoist temple in the blessed land of Beihai, where three disciples were taught. Most of their meritorious deeds were in the northwest, and they could be in the southeast.
The Chi Jing seal has twenty-four volumes of its techniques..."
Damn it!
After reading the beginning, Wei Hao was shocked. This Yuan Junping... is really not afraid of death.
The first thing at the beginning is about an earthly immortal named "Bishuijun". Not to mention his place of origin, personality, where he lives, or any flaws or fate, it's just about what kind of underwear this "Bishuijun" likes.
They were all stripped clean by Yuan Junping.
"Is it true?"
Wei Hao began to suspect that the "Six Levels of Earthly Immortals" in his hand was fabricated by Yuan Junping. If it were so detailed, a whole bunch of Earthly Immortals would probably come looking for it.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not necessary.
Wei Hao saw the scene of being struck by lightning with his own eyes, and even helped him block it a few times.
The thunder that struck Yuan Junping has different strengths and weaknesses, and it can be seen that at least it involves gods, so it is struck by lightning.
Earth Immortal...
It is estimated that the sky thunder will not be used.
It's probably up to the Earth Immortal to find a way to kill people on his own.
If the Earth Immortal cannot come to Daxia due to various reasons, he can entrust someone else to chop it.
As for why he couldn't get through, Wei Hao thought that there might be some obstacles, but he didn't need a visa or passport, right?
Putting the "Six Levels of Earthly Immortals" away, Wei Hao felt that this thing was really useful. It was hard to say anything else. If he met an Earthly Immortal one day, he would know how to trick others.
It doesn't matter if you can't kill him, but if you seal him for ten thousand years, that's fine too.
Thousand-year ghost immortals and ten thousand-year earth immortals don't sound easy to deal with, but Wei Hao has experienced the "immortal strike" and has the experience of blowing up dragon claws in the face of public expectations, so he can probably judge the cultivation level of earth immortals.
To what extent should it be.
As long as it's not unlimited, it can definitely be eliminated.
"Live forever and never die in this world...ha."
Wei Hao didn't even believe in these two qualities of the Earth Immortal.
Ghosts and immortals do not enter reincarnation and can reincarnate on their own, but Wei Hao has already thought of a solution after fighting several demon kings in the realm of ghosts and immortals.
When I fought three demon kings alone before, I thought of directly killing their souls with the soul-suppressing seal.
Now that we see that the Golden-armored Crocodile King can burn mana and sacrifice his cultivation, then he can definitely use some method to drain the ghost immortal's cultivation, and then he is unable to escape, so he has to be captured by the ghosts of the Yin Division.
How dare you say that you are not reincarnated?
Similarly, after practicing cultivation for ten thousand years, you will reach the stage of living forever. However, if there is a way to consume the cultivation of earth immortals, causing them to fall down and become ghost immortals or human immortals, then they will not be able to be defeated at this time.
Already?
However, this idea only focuses on the characteristics of "living forever", and "not dying in the world". Wei Hao has not thought through it yet, but judging from the "Six Levels of Earthly Immortals" given to him by Yuan Junping, it should be similar to these
It is related to "life and death, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, six desires and six heavens".
Wei Hao thought for a moment and felt that this possibility was very high. For example, something, whether it was a magic weapon or something else, let's call it a "resurrection point", could allow the earth immortal to be destroyed while walking in the world.
If you can still be resurrected at the "resurrection point", doesn't that mean you have achieved the effect of "not dying in the world"?
However, how to solve this problem is still a problem.
Wei Hao estimated that as his strength improves, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Just like being under the pressure of the public, if he were to be "received by the public" again, his physical body might still not be able to withstand it, but it would definitely be stronger than the previous time.
If there are too many times, then hundreds of millions of "public hopes" from the land of China will be added to it. What kind of gods can't be destroyed with one punch?
If you want to withstand such "popularity", your physical body must keep up and complement each other.
"If you want to silence the gods, you must first conquer them."
Once you have a decision in your heart, you will no longer be confused.
He wants fame, because it is the qualification and status to criticize others. It is useless if he does not recognize it. People in the world recognize it. He also wants power, because it is a powerful weapon to protect himself when criticizing others. If he cannot reach an agreement, he will overturn the table.
Win a victory.
After making some gains on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Wei Hao quickly returned to the north of the Yangtze River. After arriving at "Chao Lake", he saw a spiritual boat swaying on the lake. He took a closer look and saw that it was the local city god leading the Yin soldiers there.
Salvage belongings.
I saw the City God standing on the bow of the boat, stamping his feet and beating his chest, crying loudly: "Those are all my savings for many years, and they have all been wasted. Now that the City God has been flooded, what should I do?"
Wei Hao was passing by in his boat and saw that the Yin soldiers of the spirit ship had salvaged some silver carts and horses made of paper. Now they were all in a terrible mess. They had indeed been ruined.
"Master! Master! Look, look at that person over there, is it... is it..."
There was a judge who looked like a drowned rat. He threw away a handful of water plants from his face, and the book of life and death was also a mess. Fortunately, the underworld still had the archives, so he could just make up the records again. Otherwise, wouldn't this have been a mess?
Because Dachao Prefecture has a transcendent status, it is a prefecture directly under the Daxia Dynasty, so it is equivalent to the capital. Therefore, the local city god wears a second-grade ducal uniform, and is the genuine "Inspection Minister Wei Linggong".
Normally, only the great sages of ancient times were qualified, but seeing how he was crying so hard for his property, Wei Hao guessed that the City God was most likely related to a relative of the emperor in this dynasty, and it was all through the back door.
The sealed city god.
Moreover, he also heard that after the local city god took office, he had a secret marriage and took the daughter of a minister from the Ministry of Civil Affairs or something as his concubine.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person of noble character during his lifetime.
But it's hard to say. If you pretend to be a hypocrite all your life, you will be a gentleman.
Things that happen after death cannot be discussed in terms of life.
Wei Hao didn't intend to pay any attention to it, and planned to leave directly.
However, when the City God saw Wei Hao, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and shouted quickly: "Wei Xiangxiang! Wei Xiangxiang stays! Stay!"
"..."
Wei Hao didn't want to pay attention and continued to row away.
Cheng Huanggong suddenly became anxious and immediately ordered his men to stop salvaging. Instead, he urged the boat to sail and caught up with Wei Hao. Then he bowed and saluted: "Chixiagong, Chixiagong, this is my official... I am the lower official."
It’s not, it’s the lower official’s, it’s not…”
"Your majestic Duke Wei Ling, why are you so..."
"Xiaoguan has always been shameless."
"..."
The City God has also given up. What are you pretending to do at this time? His yamen is gone, and the local City God establishment will be completely destroyed. He might even be dismissed from his post and investigated. By then, it will be okay to be a small official, but
If you reincarnate directly, wouldn't your hard work be in vain?
He plans to accumulate moral virtue and start a new life, so that he can be reborn into a good child.
It's a good idea, but the current situation is... it's not allowed.
Dachaozhou is gone, what a waste of time.
"Where are you staying?!"
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan only relies on the orders of Duke Chi Xia. I just want to preserve Xiaguan's moral character."
After saying this, the local city god spoke quickly, mainly hoping that Wei Hao could help, put in a few nice words for the city god in this matter, and it would be better to make up a few credits.
It doesn't matter if it's copied or copied, but as long as it is, then the rest is for him to go to the underworld to operate, and he has to deal with the problem.
Wei Hao refused directly: "You think so, do you know how many innocent souls were killed in this battle?!"
"One hundred and seventy-four thousand nine hundred and sixty-two."
A judge blurted out at that time, and then added, "These are humans who will die immediately, and some will die from the epidemic later..."
Wei Hao was so angry that he wanted to slap the judge to death, but the City God went up and kicked the judge first, and then quickly said: "Chixia Gong, I am also Wei Linggong after all. As long as I keep my moral integrity, I can still help."
, to lure the local dead souls to other places, you must know that if there is no city god to guide the local ghosts, the local ghosts can only be lonely ghosts. If it attracts evil cultivators to sacrifice and practice evil methods, wouldn't it be a big mistake? "
As soon as he said this, Wei Hao thought of the Dry Bone Mountain incident. The hundreds of ghosts outside Beiguo City in Wufeng County were bastards who were causing trouble.
After carefully thinking about what the city god said, it did make sense, so Wei Hao said: "Asking me to help you make up your merits is impossible. Tell me about other things."
"Ah this..."
The City God was so worried that he was sweating profusely, and then he had an idea and quickly asked Wei Hao, "I wonder who else has the most outstanding righteous deeds in this battle, besides Chi Xiagong?"
"Well……"
Wei Hao hesitated now. Frankly speaking, apart from himself and the "Dachao Clan" from far away in time and space, it should be the Golden-armored Crocodile King, the demon king, who could save so many Dachaozhou people this time.
Next is Bai Chen.
Without the golden-armored crocodile king burning his magic power and sacrificing his cultivation, there really would be no way to save so many people in an instant.
"There was a demon king from out of town, nicknamed the 'Golden-armored Crocodile King'. He used his body to build a thousand-acre boat and saved countless people. After that, the thousand-acre boat turned into the 'Golden Flood Dragon Embankment' in the northeast of the lake.
, as for its tail, I made it into a house-protecting object to ward off evil spirits, and it is located in the center of Hudizhou City."
"The golden-armored crocodile king? A generation of demon kings who sacrificed their lives to save others. This is a story that will last forever!"
The City God's eyes lit up, but he started to mutter again, "It's a demon king, why does it have such a big change in temperament?!"
"It received the grace of Rui Piao's mother from the south bank of the Yangtze River and became enlightened. This is how it is."
"Jiangnan'an? Could it be Zuoyang Mansion?"
The City God's face suddenly fell down, obviously this was not in line with his expectations.
Wei Hao didn't hide anything. He told the old lady of the Ruihong family where she lived, and the City God was immediately overjoyed: "That's a land that no one cares about, not counting Zuoyang Mansion."
"..."
This face... I'm convinced!
Wei Hao was speechless. This local city god was really a top-notch person.
But for the sake of local dead souls, Wei Hao endured it for a while.
"Thank you so much, Lord Chi Xia. Thank you so much, Lord Chi Xia. In this way, Xiaguan has a saying. It should be operated by 'Food by Floating Mother'. As long as the underworld becomes a good story, when Xiaguan entrusts Meng Yang to the world, it will be the soul of Dachao Prefecture.
A day of rest.”
After saying that, the city god waved his hand, and the official robe rolled up into a whirlpool. The spirit boat hurriedly got into it. Wei Hao looked around and saw a special river connecting the whirlpool. On that river, there were many kinds of things.
There are all kinds of boats, big and small, leading in countless directions.
"Could this be Huang Quan? But this isn't yellow either."
Wei Hao was curious in his heart, but he didn't plan to go there and have a look. If he couldn't come back, wouldn't he be blind in vain?
With this unexpected encounter, after Wei Hao rowed his boat and landed on the shore, he talked to his former Tongzhi from Dachaozhou. The Tongzhi was immediately overjoyed and bowed to Wei Hao quickly: "If this is the case, there is no greater good."
After chatting for a while, I found out that Tongzhi had a young son who also drowned. He had just endured his grief and never showed it. He was too busy relocating the people to care about so much.
Wei Hao was immediately moved and saluted Tongzhi.
After saying goodbye, Wei Hao also sighed in his heart, after all, this bureaucrat has good and bad qualities and all kinds of strange things.
There is Wang Fubo, and there will also be Yao Fulan. The same rice can support all kinds of people, which is actually very reasonable and normal.
When Wei Hao told the people in Baijiagou about meeting the city god in the lake, many people in Baijiagou burst into tears, with a little joy in their sadness.
Just because the tombs of their ancestors were originally underwater, and most of them were even washed away, I don't know what to do. Will they still be able to find their own home if they commemorate their ancestors in the future?
Now that they had the adventure Wei Hao mentioned, they immediately felt at ease. When they went to settle down elsewhere, they would surely not get lost and find the right way home when they paid homage to their ancestors during festivals and festivals.
All of these, if it were not for the operation of Cheng Huang Yousi, I am afraid that a lot of time would be consumed.
Having received this kind of news at this moment, first of all, the living can feel at ease and have an extra sense of tranquility; secondly, the dead can rest in peace and not be afraid of becoming lonely ghosts.
"Brother Wei is really kind and kind-hearted."
Bai Xing stood beside Wei Hao and said calmly.
"How to say?"
Wei Hao looked at the busy crowd and asked.
"Actually, brother Wei doesn't want to help the city god. This goes against brother Wei's nature and principles. However, for the sake of justice, brother Wei's principles can be put aside. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is compromising."
"I don't know what Sister Bai said so noblely, but it's just... well, forget it."
Wei Hao did not continue to discuss this issue, but agreed with Bai Xing that as long as the weather is suitable tomorrow, he will take a boat directly to Dongting Lake.
After checking out what I wanted, I went straight down the river and returned to Jiangdong.
Bai Xing agreed to everything but said nothing else, which made Wei Hao feel very emotional. Compared with Bai Chen, who was messing around with everything, Sister Bai was really worry-free.
It was night, after a long day's exhaustion, the people of Dachao Prefecture, officials, and the teams from Linxian County who came to provide disaster relief all had a dream.
The contents are not exactly the same, but generally they all praise the "Floating Mother". The old lady of the Hong family, the "Floating Mother", fed the injured golden-armored crocodile king who transformed into a little dragon. After saving his life, the golden-armored crocodile
Wang Dache had a great enlightenment and used his body as a giant boat to save countless lives...
After waking up from the dream, more and more people who survived went to the "Golden Dragon Embankment" to worship, because they felt that there was a spirit, which was a beautiful story in the world.
Wei Hao was not entrusted with the dream, but after hearing about the surrounding situation, he was stunned: "Good guy, this City God of Chaozhou is really not simple. How can he get along so well in the underworld? I'm afraid he has no ability and efficiency in this operation.
How many people can compare with it?"
There is one black thing and the other, this kind of professional bureaucrat... Wei Hao hates it, but he really doesn't say he is dissatisfied. He can really get things done!

PS: I just got off work, so I came over quickly to update.
