Chapter 53: Treasure Lion



If it is not obvious in front of others, it is not appropriate to point it out.

Zhang Ling pretended not to know what had just happened and looked up at the stars. He saw traces of wealth and fortune gathering from all directions, and were eventually inhaled into the noses and mouths of these stone lions.

He counted with his fingers, raised his brows, and thought to himself: It turned out to be the treasure lion that can gather wealth!

Looking up at the mansion again, I saw a plaque hanging high up that read "Gu Mansion", but there was nothing mysterious about it.

It is quite interesting that such a precious treasure lion is placed in the home of an ordinary mortal to suppress wealth.

Um?

Something seems wrong.

Zhang Ling thought of Li Tianshi, the registered disciple of the God of Wealth in Lihua Mountain.

Suddenly, he closely connected this wealthy family with Li Tianshi, and he couldn't help but have an idea. He counted with his fingers again, frowned slightly, and looked around with his Dharma eyes. He looked into the sky above this mansion and actually sensed a trace of bloody disaster.

The young man in blue pondered for a moment, and soon he heard footsteps and looked out intently.

But it was a lame beggar holding a broken bowl with seven or eight copper coins in it. He was leaning on a crutch and his posture was sometimes high and sometimes low, rising and falling.

“Ouch!”

The beggar was tripped and fell to the ground for unknown reasons, and the few copper coins in the bowl rolled all the way into the water ditch outside the gate of Gu's house.

"Money! My money!"

The beggar was distressed and anxious, stumbling around in the dark and groping on his knees.

Zhang Ling waved his sleeves, letting the breeze gather the copper coins in the water storage ditch, and quietly placed them where the beggars could easily touch them.

Looking at the fate of this beggar, he was a kind person who had been doing good deeds for half his life, but his good deeds brought him bad consequences. In the end, his family was broken up, his wife and children were separated, and he was left here in poverty, having to make a living by begging.

Since this was the case, the meeting was destined. The young man in blue took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and placed it on the road. The beggar happened to touch the gold when he was groping for copper coins.

“Huh!”

The beggar was stunned, feeling the weight and hardness of his hand. He took a closer look and suddenly became doubtful. He picked it up tremblingly, examined it carefully, and bit it hard with his teeth.

He smiled foolishly for two or three breaths, ecstatic. After a moment, he looked up at the figure standing next to the stone lion, lost in thought, and then carefully came forward with the dog-head gold in his arms, looking up and down at the boy in the moonlight.

But he also has a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing. Wherever he stands, he shows his extraordinary temperament. The green clothes he wears and the folding fan in his hand give people the feeling of a rich and elegant young man.

The beggar had seen countless people and all kinds of people. He could tell at a glance that the young man in blue must be a person of noble status.

Why would this young man be wandering around here in the dead of night, looking left and right, raising his eyes and lowering his head?

Could it be that this gold was something he had lost and he was here to look for it?

The beggar's mind raced, and he asked respectfully, "Sir...did you just lose this gold nugget?"

Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and finally nodded and said: That's right!

"Sir, please keep it. As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. This precious gold nugget is very valuable!"

The beggar returned the gold nugget in his hand without thinking, and even reminded the beggar of a few things.

Zhang Ling took advantage of the night to put the gold nugget into his sleeve, and then took out a few gold ingots and handed them to the beggar, saying that this was a thank you gift.

The beggar refused the gift again and again, saying, "Returning lost property is the most basic of human endeavors. It's just a simple favor. How can I accept such a generous gift?"

After a few words, the young man in blue stuffed a few steamed buns into his arms: "Don't refuse this time, three or two steamed buns are not worth mentioning."

With this, the beggar thanked him profusely, limped away on his crutches, and gradually disappeared into the night.

After watching him leave, Zhang Ling turned to look at the stone lion and said, "Wealth comes from all directions, legitimate income, unofficial income, free money, ill-gotten gains... You even take the copper coins in a beggar's bowl. Not even a Pixiu can be as greedy as you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two large and one small stone lions suddenly emitted purple rainbow light, which then suddenly went out and returned to calm. A divine consciousness was transmitted to the ears of the young man in green.

It turned out that the stone lion had just spoken frankly for a reason. It had originally wanted to attract legitimate wealth from all directions, but was forced by the person behind the scenes to take all the wealth, even the ill-gotten gains.

Zhang Ling nodded and believed the words of the stone lion. This kind of spiritual creature would never lie, and everything it said was true.

"Is the person behind this Li Tianshi?"

In response to Zhang Ling's question, Jubaoshi blinked his eyes, which was considered as his agreement.

"I'll update again tomorrow!"

After Zhang Ling finished speaking, he took a folding fan, waved his sleeves, turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the night.

Walking on the road, the young man in green thought about it and wondered whether he should go to the City God's Office to take a look.

Then he shook his head and dismissed the idea.

The last time he was in Yongning County, he was tricked by the Leopard Immortal. It seemed that the Yongning City God knew something about it, but he didn't say anything. In the end, he just became a tool and the matter ended hastily.

It is inevitable that people feel that some immortals and gods have overly complicated minds, always like to plot and do some terrible things, and mortals are like pigs, always being used as stepping stones.

That Li Tianshi in the Lihua Temple is clearly a registered disciple of a certain God of Wealth, with a strong backer. His background is far superior to that of most of the small immortal officials who live in remote corners, have no roots, and are unable to leave the world forever. However, he is also doing dirty things.

As Zhang Ling walked along, he recalled the past and thought about the present, feeling a lot of emotions. He felt more and more that his patrol road was full of difficulties. It was already so difficult when he just started. He would encounter more things in the future, and the dirty things would be more complicated.

He couldn't help feeling depressed, and even thought in a trance that if he had such powerful cultivation, no matter who it was, as long as they dared to harm the world, he would kill them with Qinghong and sweep them away.
