Strange world, I can seal the gods

Chapter 1283 Letters from afar
Cui Yu was not surprised to hear this. The memory of Taiyin Xingjun spanned hundreds of millions of years. How could Zhao Chuyan bear such a huge amount of information? She was lucky to receive the few magical powers passed down by Taiyin Xingjun.

"Forget it, I'll find the truth myself. I'll find it eventually." Cui Yu lit the candle on the table.

Zhao Chuyan said no more upon seeing this. As the fragrant wind faded away, the person disappeared without a trace.

Liu Bang limped into the room, fell directly onto the bed with a swollen nose and face. His whole face was swollen like a pig's head and it was impossible to tell what he looked like before. "That woman of yours is really vicious. If you marry her in the future, I'm afraid you will lose your power as a husband."

Liu Bang's chatterbox has been going on for a long time. Cui Yu glanced at Liu Bang but did not refute him: "I think you should be more careful with your mouth, so as not to cause trouble in the future. It would be a shame if you lose your life."

"With you watching over me, who dares to attack me?" Liu Bang didn't take it seriously and his voice remained arrogant.

"I have a magical power called: silent Zen. Do you want to practice it?" Cui Yu looked at Liu Bang. He felt that Liu Bang was really a chatterbox. It would be really unfair if he caused any trouble in the future and lost his life.

Silent-mouth Zen is not a simple magical power. The longer you practice Silent-mouth Zen, the greater the power it will have. If you can practice it to the great success level, you will become an almighty being who can rule the world with a single word. Of course, it will take an extremely long time to practice to that level.

"Silent Zen? What kind of magical power is that?" Liu Bang's attention was diverted by Cui Yu. He no longer worried about Zhao Chuyan's affairs, but came over and asked curiously.

“As long as you keep your mouth shut, you can cultivate magical powers. The longer you keep your mouth shut, the more powerful the magical powers will be. If you can keep your mouth shut for a thousand years, you can suppress immortals and gods with one word. If you can keep your mouth shut for a hundred thousand years, even a Golden Immortal can be suppressed. If you can keep your mouth shut for tens of millions of years, even a Daluo Immortal will not be your opponent.” Cui Yu said with a smile, his voice full of temptation.

"Forget it! Forget it!" Liu Bang shook his head repeatedly, his voice full of emotion. "If I am asked to keep silent for a year, I will probably suffocate to death. I don't plan to practice in the mountains all the time, and I don't expect to achieve immortality through practice. I just want to gain some experience in the mountains and make friends with some dignitaries. As for really practicing to the immortal realm of immortality, it is rare in ancient times. It is just a foolish dream for ordinary people like us."

Cui Yu shook his head when he heard this. Since Liu Bang was not interested in this, he did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he opened the letter sent by the young noble lady and read it carefully.

"It's actually two letters." Cui Yu looked surprised.

"Slave Cui Yu, I am writing to you. I don't know how you managed to send hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and you also made friends with the princess. I am very pleased. I have received the silver, and the situation in the family has greatly improved. However, the pressure from Marquis Chengyang is getting more and more urgent. The family's property is already in danger and has been swallowed up by his minions. Although I have your silver to help, it is just a drop in the bucket. I hope you can ask the princess to help resolve the crisis in the family..."

Cui Yu read the letter and saw that it described the family's urgency. Now that Chengyang Hou was pressing the Shu family step by step, the Shu family could no longer hold on. Especially the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, they also had to make up for the loss of the family's shop.

After reading the first letter, Cui Yu opened the second one. The second letter was very brief, but the content of the letter made Cui Yu's forehead bulge:

Seeing you in person:

"Slave Cui Yu, I have failed your expectations. All the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in my family have been taken away by Steward Chen. I hope you can achieve success in your cultivation. You don't have to worry about family affairs anymore. You don't have to come back in the future. The Shu family's affairs have nothing to do with you anymore. If the Shu family is gone in the future, you will be free again."

There was a piece of paper attached to the letter, which was Cui Yu's indenture.

The two letters were sent not long apart, so they were delivered at the same time and handed to Cui Yu together.

Looking at the indenture in his hand, Cui Yu was overwhelmed with emotions. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Shu Nu was still the Shu Nu he knew. She was always considerate of others, which was why she was cheated by her father and had to sell everything she had. She did not have the selfishness and indifference of the nobles. She was always weak and kind.

Cui Yu understood the meaning of the two letters. If the first letter was a cry for help, the young noble lady wanted him to help and asked him to go and ask the Princess of Zhao for help, then the second letter was asking him to cut off contact with the Shu family in the future and have no further connection with them so as not to be involved.

"It must be the money I sent that eased the tension in the Shu family, which made Marquis Chengyang more pressing. Of course, the most important thing is that Marquis Chengyang had already made a secret plan, so he was able to take away all the money I sent in one fell swoop." Cui Yu stared at the beautiful handwriting, with a cold light in his eyes:

"I remember that housekeeper. He seemed to be honest and loyal. But who knew he was actually a spy of Marquis Chengyang. He cut off the last chance of survival for the Shu family and their brother at the critical moment. It can be said that the Shu family has really reached the end of its rope at this time." Cui Yu slowly put down the letter, with a thoughtful look in his eyes:

"It's all about money! As long as the economic problems of the Shu family are solved, even Marquis Chengyang can't force the Shu siblings to give up their ancestral land, and can't directly kill people to seize the land. After all, all the princes in the world are watching coldly. If Marquis Chengyang does this, the other princes will also feel sad and sympathetic."

"As long as I can find a way to revive the Shu family's talisman paper industry, I will be able to bring the Shu family back to life and put an end to Marquis Chengyang's thoughts. As for what other methods Marquis Chengyang will use in the future, let's not talk about it for now. At least I can give the Shu family a break and buy me more time." Cui Yu tapped the table with his fingers, countless thoughts running through his mind.

"What's the matter? Are you in trouble?" Liu Bang came over and asked.

"Which elder is in charge of the talisman paper business?" Cui Yu asked.

"Elder Cao." Liu Bang's eyes fell on the letter in Cui Yu's hand, then he looked back at Cui Yu. After a slight hesitation, he said, "I have also heard about the Shu family's affairs. You'd better not get involved in this mess. You were born a slave, and you don't know what the three words "Marquis of Chengyang" mean in the Great Zhao Kingdom."

"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try." Cui Yu looked at Liu Bang: "What does this Elder Cao like?"

"Money! Lots and lots of money! Do you know how much silver Marquis Chengyang gave to Elder Cao in order to suppress the Shu family's business?" Liu Bang said in a low voice.

"How much?" Cui Yu was also curious. The Shu family and Xieyue Temple had cooperated for tens of thousands of years, so how could they be shaken by Marquis Chengyang?

"Three million taels--" Liu Bang paused here: "Gold!"

Cui Yu's pupils shrank when he heard this. Three million taels of gold was definitely not a small amount. It could even buy some mountaintops. No wonder Elder Cao was bribed.

"Three million taels of gold? I'm afraid I can't take it out. Even if I only take out an equivalent amount of three million taels of gold, Elder Cao won't accept my gold. Between me and Marquis Chengyang, Elder Cao knows best how to choose him, unless the value of what I take out is much higher than three million taels of gold." Cui Yu was also in trouble at this time, looking at Liu Bang with a pair of eyes. Liu Bang was startled by Cui Yu's gaze: "Why are you looking at me? I don't have any gold to give you. Marquis Chengyang's power is so huge, even if you take out the same three million taels of gold, Elder Cao will never offend Marquis Chengyang for you."

Cui Yu certainly knew this, so he chose a roundabout strategy.

"If money can't do it, we have to find another way." Cui Yu walked out of the yard and came to the residence of Elder Xu in the library, only to see Elder Xu practicing Qi on the bed.

Cui Yu did not say anything, but sat quietly in the room and made tea. The faint fragrance of tea filled the room.

"You're here." After a long time, Elder Xu finished his practice, opened his eyes and looked at Cui Yu.

"I am here to teach you the sword techniques." Cui Yu picked up the tea and filled it for Elder Xu.

Elder Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I've been waiting for this for a long time."

Cui Yu was not in a hurry to pass on his skills, but smiled and said: "I have deduced a formula from the magical power of refining swords into silk. I hope the elder will appreciate and guide me."

"You deduced a formula from the formula of refining swords into silk?" Elder Xu was surprised when he heard this, but he was not very interested. What formula could Cui Yu deduce in just a few days?

Cui Yu seemed to have seen through Elder Xu's thoughts and slowly began to recite the formula.

Cui Yu's speed of reciting the formula was very slow, but every word was precious. It took Cui Yu three hours to explain the 3,000-word sword-cultivation formula. Elder Xu went from being indifferent at the beginning to listening attentively and asking questions continuously, and even fell into complete silence in the end.

The Sword-Nourishing Technique is an unparalleled secret that leads directly to the Great Dao of Hunyuan. Unfortunately, the times are not right now, and the world is filled with the Five Elements of Decay. The Sword-Nourishing Technique cannot reach the realm of innate spiritual treasures at all. But even so, it is still an unparalleled unparalleled path of killing.

The sword-cultivating technique is a path specially prepared for Cui Yu. Only Cui Yu can avoid the invasion of the five elements of decay between heaven and earth and give birth to innate spiritual treasures.

After a long time, until dawn, Elder Xu sighed, exhaled deeply, suddenly opened his eyes, and stared at Cui Yu: "Did you deduce this formula?"

"I deduced it bit by bit." Cui Yu said without hesitation.

"It's a pity that I have already embarked on the road of incense and fire. Otherwise, even if I had to endure the five calamities of heaven and man, I would have embarked on the path of sword cultivation. I simply can't imagine that you have such a skill. It seems that De Ming and I are right. Your origin is not simple!" Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu meaningfully: "It's a pity that you were born in the wrong era. The immortal path is no longer feasible in this era."

Cui Yu smiled upon hearing this and did not refute Elder Xu's words. Instead, he said with a smile, "Elder, just treat it as a magical power for attacking and cultivating the sword."

Elder Xu remained silent upon hearing this. He knew that Cui Yu was being modest. This secret formula was definitely not just a magical power. Who said that Shinto practitioners couldn't raise swords?

"There are still many things I don't understand, and I would like to ask you for advice." Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu.

This sword technique was so complicated that he didn't even understand one thousandth of it. There were so many changes.

"I think it's time for breakfast now." Cui Yu turned his head and looked outside the door. A ray of purple air appeared in the sky, and it was already early morning.

"That's right, you see I'm getting old and confused." Elder Xu patted his head in annoyance, then looked at Cui Yu: "Let's go have breakfast, and then come back to study the sword techniques."

"The matter of the sword technique is not urgent. I have something that must be resolved as soon as possible." Cui Yu did not keep Elder Xu in suspense: "Does the elder know Elder Cao?"

"It's about the Shu family, right?" Elder Xu understood what was meant and asked directly.

"As long as Xieyue Temple purchases the Shu family's talisman paper again and gets the Shu family's business running, the Shu family will be able to survive. As long as the Shu family recovers, they will definitely be able to give the elders generous rewards." Cui Yu said with a smile.

"Elder Cao and I are old acquaintances. We had some friendship in the past. In fact, it was me who cast the crucial vote that enabled him to sit in that position. Leave this matter to me. I will mediate for you. It's just... Marquis Chengyang is not someone you want to mess with. Do you really want to get involved in this mess?" Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu.

"Marquis Chengyang can't cover the whole thing with one hand, right?" Cui Yu asked back.

"Wait for me here, I'll go and invite Lao Cao over, and we'll have breakfast together." Elder Xu spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he didn't take the matter seriously at all. It was just a trivial matter to him.

Elder Xu left. Cui Yu sat in the library, drinking tea quietly from a cup in his hand. He looked out the window at the rising sun, and a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind: "If Elder Xu can really invite Elder Cao, how can I bribe Elder Cao? It's not easy to find something worth three million taels of gold!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Cui Yu's mind. After thinking it over, he still felt that he should work hard on supernatural powers. For him, supernatural powers were the easiest to obtain.

“Or maybe it’s an elixir brought from a mysterious world, but the elixir from the mysterious world has innate properties, so it would be too horrifying to take it out.” Cui Yu shook his head and denied the idea.

Just as Cui Yu was thinking about this, he heard hurried footsteps coming from downstairs. Elder Xu came downstairs cursing:
"You damned bastard, you dare not give me face? I really misjudged you. Don't ever ask me for help in the future, otherwise I will make you pay!"

Elder Xu returned to the pavilion in a rage. When he saw Cui Yu, he withdrew his momentum like a defeated rooster, and his eyes were full of helplessness: "I have lost my face this time!"
