Chapter 357 The Calamity Star Su San is a Five-Point Talent
Su Che chuckled softly upon hearing Xuan Gui's words.

"Hey kid, what important thing do you have to tell me? Is it some girl in this brothel that's important to you?"

Xuan Gui looked at Su Che and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"The students overheard that they had encountered chivalrous heroes here before, but they were all defeated and their bodies were left in the back mountains. Great hero, you must be careful. We should hurry on our way. Moreover, behind this place is Xuan Mountain, where precious light often shoots into the sky at night. Great hero, why don't you take the treasure?"

Such a trivial matter.

Su Che chuckled to himself and shook his head.

Most of the so-called chivalrous and extraordinary people who roam the common people of Daliang are only at the seventh rank of cultivation level. They might be able to deal with ordinary ghosts and monsters.

However, the one who runs this Ghost Chicken Village is Sikong Tu's subordinate, an old ghost that the Yin-Yang Dharma King has been raising in the Yin-Yang Realm for an unknown period of time. The beautiful woman he just dealt with is a genuine sixth-grade cultivator.

Normally he's a chivalrous hero, but here he's just delivering food.

Su Che looked at the Yin-Yang Dharma King beside him: "This is all the sins of the senior."

Although these ghosts that have flowed out are said to be driven by Sikong Tu, they are theoretically all subjects of the "Yin Yang Dharma King" and should have some inexplicable connection with each other. Otherwise, this old senior would not have led him directly to this place to kill.

"What does this have to do with me?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King simply shook his head: "If it weren't for you, this jinx, coming to my door, I would be living a very comfortable life. I would be creating my own realm, ruling as king, hehe, how carefree."

Su Che smiled upon hearing this.

"How can you blame me?"

"You're a total unlucky guy, anyone who gets involved with you will be in big trouble."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King could recite the names of his disciples as if they were his own treasures.

"It's like that old monster from Xuanshan. He had painstakingly prepared for so many years, but when he met you, he not only died but also had to give away his foundation."

"Take Yu Lizi for example. He is destined to live forever. He is the direct disciple of the Yellow Heaven Daoist Master. He was your teacher, but he almost got corrupted by demons when the Lord of the End of Dharma descended halfway through his journey."

"And then there's Madam Xue. She's been accumulating her talents for years, determined to walk the righteous path of the gods. But somehow she offended you, kid. You lost your temper, destroyed the very foundation of her divine kingdom, and now you want her to play chess with you. Sigh, Su boy, what kind of thing have you done?"

"Let me think about it again. There's that Prince Bird Feather. I heard he was a poor kid who suffered in the cold palace. He was supposed to be released to govern a region, which was supposed to be a turnaround for him. But then he met you and became a rotten fish with a belly. And then there's Madam Xie. She's a good person, but after seeing you, her reputation was ruined. Now she's nowhere to be seen."

"And what about Shiksha Nanda? She was perfectly fine, neither male nor female, but they turned her into a young woman. Su boy, tell me about yourself. Sigh, you think you're so great."

The scholar Xuan Gui listened from the side, completely bewildered, not understanding what kind of slang these thieves were using.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King knew everything like the back of his hand, but Su Che remained unmoved.

"What do you mean, senior?"

Su Che glanced at Xuan Gui below.

"The golden belt of murder and arson."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King made a throat-cutting gesture.

"have to."

Su Che called out softly to the outside, "Old Lu, Old Zhu, let's get started."

Lu Bai and Zhu Yi had long been bored. When they heard Su Che making a move inside, they drew their waist knives and lightly cut their fingertips, writing several talismans on the blade with their hot blood.

These two are veterans of the Imperial Guard, so dealing with a few wandering ghosts is a piece of cake for them.

"Do you want to keep that female ghost who serves you? A night of marriage is worth a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days of marriage is as deep as the sea. I can teach you a few methods of raising ghosts."

Su Che sat comfortably on the small stool, and the ghosts outside disappeared rapidly in his perception.

Xuan Gui lay on the ground, trembling, listening to the screams outside and the crackling sounds like exploding flames.

He swallowed hard, and a drop of liquid rolled down his chin to the ground; he couldn't tell if it was sweat or a tear.

"Make a decision quickly, or it will be too late to save it."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King slowly pushed open the window and saw several ghostly figures fleeing rapidly into the distance. He turned his head and cast a probing look at Su Che.

Su Che slowly shook his head.

Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?

The moonlight shone on the Yin-Yang Dharma King's face, making the old man appear almost transparent. "I want to give them a shock."

The White Deer Cave plan has been running silently for a long time, and everything seems to be ready to be launched one step at a time.

If we can disrupt their rhythm with some small actions, we might actually find some opportunities.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King nodded and slowly sat down opposite Su Che.

"What's wrong with this kid?"

"Keep it for later use." Su Che looked at Xuan Gui below. "You've been to school?"

Xuan Gui knew that his real test had come, so he immediately knelt down and replied, "I dare not say that I have grasped the essence of the sages, but I do know a few words."

Su Che smiled upon hearing this.

This scholar does have a knack for understanding people's hearts.

Since he claimed to be a master thief, he guessed what kind of books the master had read and, fearing that he might offend the master with his words, he adopted a humble attitude.

"Then you're just not good at studying," Su Che said, feigning regret. "What use are you if you can't even study?"

Xuan Gui swallowed hard, knowing that his fate was hanging in the balance, and immediately lowered his head.

"The students have studied for many years, and they know a little about poetry and prose, and can also do arithmetic and divination. They are, to some extent, useful people."

"Whether it's useful or not, we'll only know after we try it," Su Che said noncommittally. "You're from Wenning County. If I were to go there this time, do you have any suggestions for me?"

"Major chaos is imminent in Wenning County."

Xuan Gui lowered his head: "I don't know what Master Liu is going to Wen Ning for, but I think it's best not to go empty-handed."

"Ok?"

Su Che sneered: "I'm not going to visit relatives and friends, why would I need to bring gifts?"

"The rebels want to seize Wenning, and the imperial court wants to defend Wenning. With Master Liu's skills and a few brothers, he can naturally rampage even in the face of thousands of troops. However, if there are other plans, we should prepare more."

"Prepare what?"

Su Che glanced at the Yin-Yang Dharma King beside him and found that the man was resting with his eyes closed, looking completely at ease.

"Food and manpower are scarce. Cizhou has just suffered from a disaster, and Wenning County has no surplus food. Once chaos breaks out, the daily consumption of thousands of troops is unknown, and food will inevitably be in short supply. When two armies clash, the more men and horses the better. If Master Liu can bring a troop of men over, with his skills, he will surely be appointed as a general in the court, helping those bandits to eventually be granted land and fiefdoms."

It's just empty talk.

Su Che tapped the table lightly: "Is that all?"

"The food is readily available, and I know where it is right now. Men and horses are also easy to gather. We may not have elite troops, but if we need to gather a ragtag group, I have a way to manage that as well."

Xuan Gui buried his head below, his face turning pale and then flushed. Now he could only hope that this Ghost Slayer was not some bandit seeking temporary gain, but a great thief intending to steal the country and the state.

Su Che pondered for a moment.

It's not difficult to see the problems Cizhou is facing, but it takes some ability to come up with solutions.

Those interesting guys who can come up with the idea of ​​dying from prostitution are better off not dying in vain.

Young Master Su glanced at the Yin-Yang Dharma King to the side and asked softly, "How is it?"

The Yin-Yang Dharma King opened his eyes and looked at the Xuan Gui below: "Ten points is the maximum, but you can get five or six points."

"It's no use saying that."

Su Che sighed; this senior was still quite cunning.

"Alas, in chaotic times, having even three-tenths of a skill is enough, let alone five or six-tenths."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King turned to look at Su Che and said, "But has our Master Liu figured out what to do next?"

"I was just having a plan, but I didn't know where to start."

Su Che coughed lightly: "The best opportunity is right in front of us. Scholar, tell me where the troops are and where the food is?"
