Chapter 359 The First Difficulty: Turning Stone into Gold? God is really doing it!
The treasury god is the deity who looks after the treasury.

He is also a righteous god in the human world.

There are also some incense offerings on weekdays.

But anyway, a silver vault is not something that ordinary people have. Most of them are hidden in the closet or under the bed, or placed on the beams or in the walls.

This is still a relatively affluent life.

Like the poor kind.

If a thief gets caught, he has to pay back the money with tears, not to mention the silver vault and the worship of vault gods. It is possible that they have never even heard of them.

Therefore, there are very few incense sticks dedicated to the God of Ku.

When he saw Xiaoqing and five little ghosts entering the silver vault, he did not show up on his own initiative, nor did he stop them. He just watched them carry the silver, and considering their past friendship, he gave Li Gongfu a warning.

Otherwise, there was no way an ordinary person like him could see Xiaoqing, a snake demon who was about to have a thousand years of Taoism, stealing things.

Li Gongfu was helpless.

His face was full of sadness.

He was at a loss for a moment. After all, if there were bold thieves stealing here, he would not be afraid. He could just follow the clues and there were plenty of ways to catch those thieves and execute them on the spot.

As a result, I have encountered a monster now.

He couldn't see the other party at all. He just watched the silver coins fly away in front of him as if they had wings, and flew into the darkness without even a footprint. How could he chase them?
The god Naku was indeed a bit sentimental and started to instruct Li Gongfu, "I heard that your brother-in-law Xu Xian is a famous Buddhist master in Yuhang City. As his brother-in-law, why don't you ask him for help?"

Li Gongfu suddenly realized.

It's not that he is stupid, but he has lived with Zhang Tian for a long time. In his impression, the other party is still the weak scholar as before, who picks medicinal herbs to support himself on weekdays.

As for the majestic master who possessed supernatural abilities and was respected by the people, he had not yet left an impression on his mind.

This made him confused.

So Li Gongfu returned home and told Zhang Tian about this.

Zhang Tian was stunned for a moment, because he saw that the cause and effect line on his body was somewhat clear. Facing Dao Ji, he smiled and said, "It seems that God still favors me very much. Look, my first disaster is coming!"

Dao Ji was still a little unconvinced.

"It's just the evil spirits at work, don't brag."

After all, God loves you.

It's so outrageous.

Zhang Tian smiled without saying a word, and brought the unconvinced Dao Ji to the Qiantang County Silver Vault. He immediately caught the ghostly aura in the silver vault, and he knew in his heart that the silver must have been borrowed by Xiao Qing and the five ghosts.

He didn't say much.

Let the crowd disperse.

He took a stick of incense and placed it in front of the portrait of Kushen. Immediately, the other party became spiritual. His face was so lively and he seemed to be enjoying it so much. He took two deep puffs and felt his eyes were full of tears.

"What a nice, nice smell of incense!"

Ku Shen's eyes were clear, and he looked at Zhang Tian in front of him with some amazement. He had dazzling merits on him, and he smelled sweet. He was entangled by so many wishes. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, he was indeed the reincarnation of the legendary great virtue...

So he spoke, "The silver stored in this vault is the tax silver of Qiantang for several years, a full 100,000. As a result, the county magistrate secretly colluded with the thieves and secretly embezzled half of it."

"I feel depressed, so I don't bother to take care of things."

The county magistrate was an ordinary person, but he embezzled 50,000 taels.

But Xiaoqing is a man with magical powers. He brought five little ghosts with him and only took one thousand taels of silver... Ku Shen: Who is the thief?

Ku Shen: I can’t see clearly! I really can’t see clearly!

"I am a god in the human world. I only do my duty to look after evil spirits. I should not be involved in the affairs of the human court. However, the tax silver issue involves too many things. It concerns the people. It is all their hard-earned money from farming. If it is lost, I am afraid they will come to retaliate again..."

"It was the county magistrate who did it. His seventh concubine was counting her private money here in front of me and she told me so herself."

"That old man is about to retire, but he married a beautiful young wife. He didn't even know that she has a child. She even came to me in the middle of the night to count money. If she was happy, she would show off her thighs on the silver..."

Zhang Tian coughed.

This is some kind of gossip about the harem.

Just don’t talk about it.

He knew his friends didn't like hearing it.

Then it became clear in my mind.

He also lit a stick of incense for the god Ku in front of him.

Zhang Tian told Dao Ji about this, but the other party naturally did not believe it. He waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand at the silver, but did not see anything unusual. It was not like what the God of Treasury said, that half of it had been embezzled.

Zhang Tian also knew that to catch someone, one must seize the stolen goods.

So he and Dao Ji turned into white light, and together with Ku Shen, they became portraits on the wall, waiting quietly. Sure enough, at nightfall, they saw a Taoist priest and the county magistrate walking towards them, talking and laughing.

"What a bullshit Master Xu Xian. According to rumors, he is the reincarnation of a Buddhist monk. He has no special abilities in the world. He still can't see through my magical powers!"

The demon said proudly, "Not to mention him, even if the gods from heaven came down to earth, they might not be able to see through my tricks."

Dao Ji was confused.

Is there really something fishy going on?

Then he saw the county magistrate beside him laughing, "There are many fools in the world. Many of the so-called masters are just boasting. They have no ability and are just empty names. This county magistrate has seen a lot of them."

The old county magistrate touched the silver in his hand greedily, "I have read the books of sages since I was young, passed the imperial examinations, struggled all my life, and finally became an official, but it is difficult to go further. I have worked diligently all my life, but I only married a few concubines and got a few thousand silver. However, those fake masters boasted about their wealth all their lives. I don't accept it! Officials should be greedy. What's the point of being an official if you are not greedy!"

When he gets a lot of money, he will go back and buy several hundred acres of land. By then, who knows how many villagers will rely on him to farm for their food. If he also donates money to build a road or a bridge, who will dare to say anything to him?
Under the urging of the old county magistrate, the demon displayed his ability. The other party took out something and lit it with fire, and a crackling sound was heard.

Place it in your hand.

Then he saw that the dust that the other party had prepared long ago turned into smoke, and was guided by the fire in the demon's hand and entangled in the palm of his hand. Along with the sound of incantations, smoke and dust mixed with flames rose into the sky, and the dust actually turned into silver!

A lot of silver!

The old county magistrate laughed wildly, "What a talent! You can turn stone into silver. Wait a few days, I will retire, and the new county magistrate will come soon. By then, he will be dumbfounded looking at this empty treasury."

One hundred thousand taels of silver were lost from the treasury.

It will surely be a bloody storm.

He didn't care whether the new county magistrate chose to let the constables take the blame or chose to exploit the people and forcibly collect taxes again to make up for the deficit. It was none of his business anyway!
Dao Ji couldn't bear it any longer.

Came out in anger.

He knocked the two men down easily, making them run away in panic.

But wait till he turns around.

When he saw Zhang Tian reading a book, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He went over to take a look and saw that it was an orthodox magical power, the art of turning stone into gold. He felt like the sky was falling.

Daoji: Oh my god! Are you serious?!
