No taboos

Chapter 226 I seem to have forgotten something

"You haven't done anything evil, why would I arrest you?" Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and asked, "I'm curious, how have you been able to stay lucid for so many years after becoming a zombie, and not completely fall into evil?"

"This..." Tian Jing said reluctantly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, sir, but the person who taught me this method made me swear not to tell anyone about it."

"Someone gave it to you? Who?"

"That's something I can tell you about." Tian Jing said, "He's an old hermit from a village in Guiwu Mountain.

This method has been passed down from generation to generation. Their village is still there. He has a godson named Bai Laoyan, who learned the skills from him and is now also a mountain runner..."

Xu Yuan laughed immediately: "So it's him."

Then there is no problem at all.

Tian Jing was puzzled: "Do you know him, sir?"

"I know him, we're friends."

Tian Jing also laughed: "What a coincidence."

Jiao said on the side: "After a few days, when my soul is more stable, we will leave here and go to Guiwu Mountain to avoid causing trouble for the adults."

Tian Jing presented the jade bottle and said, "I give this craftsmanship to you, sir. I only ask that you take care of this village after we leave."

The Jin man was only frozen by the ice arrow and was beginning to melt slowly.

After being completely dissolved, this artifact can still be used normally.

But Xu Yuan did not accept it.

This thing came from an official ship. If we take it out and use it, it would be a trouble if the news leaked.

"Taking care of the village is no problem, so no need for a thank you gift."

Tian Jing had just praised the lord for his noble character when Xu Yuan changed the subject and asked, "But... has Fu Shuanghui's 'Dragon Transformation Technique' been preserved?"

The man and the dragon looked at each other and realized that they didn't want the golden man but the "Dragon Transformation Method".

I thought he really didn't want anything.

Jiao said, "There is no "Dragon Transformation Method". After Fu Shuanghui died, her body exploded and everything was blown to pieces."

Xu Yuan was disappointed, but the "Dragon Transformation Method" was the icing on the cake.

This trip yielded a pair of dragon-slaying swords, a theatrical puppet, a fishing net, and the tortoise shell material, which was already a huge profit.

Then Jiao said, "But since you have Fu Shuanghui's soul, you can find a way to judge her soul yourself."

Xu Yuan was surprised and looked at Jiao, who smiled mischievously.

Xu Yuan curled his lips and said, "Forget it. For the sake of the Dragon Transformation Technique, I won't bother with you."

"There is no thread-pulling technique in Fu Shuanghui's soul?"

"Yes." Jiao said, "But my Void Devouring can block the influence of the Pulling Silk Technique."

As it spoke, it spat out a dark yellow translucent bead.

Xu Yuan took it, and inside was the soul of Fu Shuanghui, whose face was expressionless.

Xu Yuan put away the beads and planned to go home.

I can only feel at ease if I leave this matter to Uncle Mao.

The divine cultivators from the Department of Eliminating Filth cannot be allowed to handle this.

"Then I will take my leave." Xu Yuan bowed.

Tian Jing hurriedly bowed and said, "Good morning, sir."

The dragon also lowered its head slightly.

Xu Yuan waved his hand and said, "I often go to Guiwu Mountain. Maybe we'll meet again in the future."

After Xu Yuan left, Jiao and Tian Jing returned to the bottom of the sinkhole. Jiao's body shrank, and he and Tian Jing entered the cave at the bottom of the sinkhole together.

Jiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Pack up your things. I've been dormant here for two hundred years, and now I have to leave. I'm actually a little reluctant..."

Xu Yuan walked two miles and felt like he had forgotten something.

After walking another half a mile, he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I forgot about Wan Yun!"

Xu Yuan hurried back.

Tian Jing was dragging heavy wooden boxes out from several other caves under the sinkhole.

"You swallowed it all, so it's convenient for us to take it to Ghost Witch Mountain." Tian Jing said happily: "Even if we go to Ghost Witch Mountain, we are still two rich men in the evil world. Maybe we can also have a place on Guanghuo Street..."

The wooden boxes were filled with valuables. Tian Jing had robbed several official ships, but only a few were needed to revive the dragon, and he had stored most of the valuables.

The dragon opened its mouth, but suddenly heard a cheerful voice from above its head: "Hello, both of you. We meet again."

The man and the dragon looked up and saw a head sticking out from the pit far above them.

Who else could it be but Lord Xu?
They both grimaced.

Although this place is a hundred feet away from the pit mouth, and although it is dark below the pit - neither of them would be so optimistic as to think that Lord Xu did not see anything.

Those hundreds of big boxes all have the stamps of the Ming Dynasty government!

Jiao and Tian Jing came up together again, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The master is back again."

"I told you, we'll meet again someday." Xu Yuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. "I forgot to ask you something before. I have a group of colleagues. Are they dead or alive?"

Tian Jing secretly felt lucky.

Lord Xu's tone was rather unfriendly.

There was already a hint of alienation hidden beneath the smile.

"No." Tian Jing said quickly: "I didn't kill any of them, I just locked them up."

Then Tian Jing immediately told the place where he was being held.

Wan Yun's team had no special skills. After being trapped by the Jiao using the "Void Swallowing" technique, they all fainted soon after.

Tian Jing captured them and locked them in a cave.

"I'll call a little creature to take you there." Tian Jing said cautiously.

Lord Xu didn't care at all about Wan Yun's life or death, and even thought it would be better if he died.

But it would be best if the captains under him were alive.

Xu Yuan nodded: "There's no rush for that. Let's first talk about the things on these official ships below."

The man and the dragon felt a pang in their hearts, but they still came.

"Sir..." Tian Jing said bitterly, "How much do you want?"

Xu Yuan glared at him and said, "In your eyes, am I the same as those other corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty?"

"I dare not." Tian Jing quickly bowed his head and saluted.

But I thought to myself: If you don’t want to take it, why bring this up?

Xu Yuan snorted: "You are going to Ghost Witch Mountain, what are you going to do with these things?"

"This..." Tian Jing refused to tell the truth: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Xu Yuan looked very disappointed: "If you keep the money in your hands, it will be dead! You have to find a way to make money from it!"
By the same token, what's the point of keeping these things? You need to exchange them for what you really need. You need to trade them!"

Tian Jing was confused. What do you mean by this?

"I heard that there is a Guanghao Street in Guiwu Mountain..."

The man and the dragon were dumbfounded: Sir, are you the worm in our stomach?

No, I am a zombie and it is a dragon. We don’t have roundworms in our stomachs.

Xu Yuan then planned for them in detail, including how to open a store, how to attract buyers with low prices, etc.

These were actually taught by Mr. Zhang.

After talking for a while, Xu Yuan's mouth was dry, so he untied the water bag and took a few gulps.

"Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Then let's do it." After a pause, Xu Yuan said with a sheepish look on his face, "Since I'm offering you advice, I should at least take a stake in this business, right?"

Tian Jing thought to himself: What’s the difference between this and just taking it directly?
What Xu Yuan wanted mainly was not the money, but the knowledge of commercial law that came with it.

Tian Jing was considering how much to give, but Jiao had already said, "Sir, you will take 50% of the shares."

Xu Yuan suddenly smiled so hard that his eyebrows were invisible, and refused in a hypocritical manner: "Oh, how can I not be so embarrassed, it's too much..."

Tian Jing sighed and said, "It's settled, my lord, please don't refuse anymore."

He also said one thing and meant another: "If you hadn't pointed out a clear path for us, we really wouldn't know what to do."
