Chapter 57: Master Pays Salary to the Underworld



Above the nine heavens, the goddess shrouded in black fog was bound by the secret method of Emperor Dongyue, but she was laughing wildly.

"Hahaha, I never thought that by some strange coincidence, the Jiange County matter would actually come true! It's God's will, God's will!"

The Emperor of Dongyue had no expression on his face, and said calmly, "Then let's make a bet based on the will of heaven. If everything goes as you planned, I will return the power of life and death to you, and I will no longer participate in your plans."

The goddess sneered, "Oh? The Emperor is in such a good mood. What if I lose?"

Emperor Dongyue said, "Aren't you the Moon God? The underworld needs a moon."

The Moon Goddess laughed heartily. "Let's bet! Even if you give a mere mortal a technique or a magical weapon, what good will it do? As long as you don't intervene, you're doomed!"

In the fairyland, the God of Wealth was stroking his beard with a smile and drinking with a strong man with a red face and beautiful beard.

"I really didn't expect that boy to be able to subdue the Five Bandits so easily. To be honest, the Emperor really has a good eye for people."

The sturdy man's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Is there anything in this world that you, the God of Wealth, can't predict? If so, I'll go see what that kid is capable of when I have time."

The God of Wealth smiled and was secretly happy.

The emperor talked about sharing investment risks. Shouldn’t this be considered as sharing investment risks?

Boy Kong, perform well. The Martial Saint will teach you a few moves. Are you afraid that you don’t have any attacking skills?

The Great Emperor cannot take action, but it shouldn't be a problem for us, his subordinates, to show up.

In Linzi, the capital of the Great Qi State, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, which was responsible for observing celestial phenomena, trotted into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this is bad. There's a ghostly aura surging from the southwest. It seems a great ghost has reappeared in the world."

A solemn voice rang out, "Southwest...Jiangge County again? Gu Qiangqing just got into trouble in Jiange County, and now a great demon has appeared there. What are you doing with your sect?"

The emperor of Da Qi secretly made a decision in his heart that it was time to discuss things with those great scholars.

The Taoist tradition has become corrupt and can no longer protect the people of Da Qi.

It is imperative to move the capital to Luoyang, away from the Taoist orthodoxy, and open the Huangquan Division to recruit folk monks.

The core of all this, Mr. Gu, a good man for nine generations, was blinking his eyes, drooling, and looking around.

Make a lot of money, make a lot of money!

I want to show the master this room full of gold, silver, treasures, spiritual materials and artifacts. Will he praise me profusely? Will he give me a long vacation?

Logically speaking, Mr. Gu was a decent man when he was alive.

You've seen the world and shouldn't be so out of control.

But now, looking around, everywhere is filled with wealth, treasures, jewels, and opulence.

Even though he was prominent during his lifetime, he had never seen such a scene.

How did Mr. Gu get in?

It all started with a fall from the ground...

Lord Kong is not a human being. There are countless ghosts and evil spirits in the city. Gu Qiang works around the clock every day and is exhausted.

After judging another ghost, the incense in his body was almost exhausted. Mr. Gu sighed and stood up to stretch his muscles.

He had a little secret that he had never told Kong Hanan.

He can teleport!

To be precise, as long as he wanted, he could appear anywhere in Helue Town, and he could also return to the City of the Dead in the underworld from Helue Town.

This was all thanks to the day when Kong Hanan was woken up and frightened by the Houtu Jade Seal. He subconsciously retreated to the corner and discovered his abilities.

Mr. Gu was so happy that he had his own little secret, which the adults didn't know about yet.

Occasionally, when he was tired, he would return to the human world, sit in his own small temple, and listen to the voices of the people.

What's more, in the past two days, he occasionally appeared in person, guiding some townspeople to find their lost items or livestock, or exposing scams and thieves. He felt that the power of his incense was getting stronger.

The limit breakthrough method that the adults mentioned before turned out to be a lie.

Mr. Gu put his hands behind his back and teleported back to the human world.

It was late at night in the human world, and he found a filthy and unrecognizable beggar eating his offerings.

It was a small temple and no one cared about it. However, an old doorman hired by Dongyue Temple was sighing nearby.

"Eat more! If Mr. Gu is really spiritual, he won't bother with his own grandson!"

Gu Qiang was shocked when he heard this.

My grandson!? This is, Gu Hao!?

Although Gu Hao was rotten inside before, at least he was still a golden shell.

When Gu Qiang looked at her again at this moment, she no longer looked as smart as she pretended to be on the regular basis.

People have been shocked and stunned.

Gu Hao seemed to realize something, raised his head, and stared at Gu Qiang with his eyes wide open.

Gu Qiang was shocked.

Did he see me? Impossible. The living are separated by the Yin and Yang. How can a living person see a ghost?

He sneered and shook his head.

The incident at the Gu Mansion alarmed the imperial court and reached the emperor.

In the Gu family, some died, some were exiled, and only this silly child was spared by the court.

Gu Qiang was sad about his offspring and didn't want to see him, but he didn't expect to meet him by chance tonight.

It's fate.

"Grandpa...Grandpa?"

Gu Hao spoke.

Gu Qiang was stunned and couldn't help but move, but Gu Hao's gaze actually followed him. His grandson could really see him!

Gu Hao's reaction surprised the gatekeeper. Thinking of the rumors about Gu Qiang's apparition in the past two days, he no longer hesitated, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Master Gu, Master Gu, he's often bullied on the street and even has to use ghost money to buy food. I think he's your grandson after all, and I'm just feeling sorry for him. Please don't get angry."

Gu Qiang was stunned again after hearing this.

He asked Gu Hao tentatively, "Aren't you afraid of me? Who gave you the ghost money?"

Gu Hao was dazed and naive, drooling from the corners of his mouth. He said, "I'm not afraid. Last time, a bad ghost wanted to harm me, but a big ghost in white clothes with a long tongue saved me. The big ghost in white clothes said that he was a ghost catcher in the underworld. With him around, ghosts can no longer hurt people."
