Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 184: I am from Maoshan Sect
Three hundred miles west of the capital lies the main camp of General Sun. Originally a small town, it was forcibly requisitioned after General Sun arrived, and the people had already been driven away.

The camp is very large, with many tents set up outside the town. It is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 people!

Come to think of it, if there hadn't been so many soldiers gathered, the yang energy generated wouldn't be enough to frighten the Ghost Queen.

In reality, as the head of a legitimate army, General Sun commanded tens of thousands of men. This meant that these weren't all his troops.

If it weren't for this, no one would have the courage to rob the Eastern Tomb.

After taking out the letters of introduction from Long Daguang and Gu Xuanwu and verifying their identities layer by layer, Li Kunshan allowed them to enter the camp.

"Follow closely! Don't run around!"

A group of soldiers took Li Kunshan to see Commander Sun. The three soldiers in front and three soldiers in the back were holding guns, which made them look more like an escort.

Li Kunshan didn't care, but was secretly happy.

The more cautious he is, the more it shows that Commander Sun is already a frightened bird, and the easier it is for him to blackmail him.

"What a mess."

Although he couldn't run around, he could always watch. Li Kunshan couldn't help but curl his lips as he walked and watched.

The camp was covered with talismans.

Putting aside the depth of their cultivation, some of the talismans are drawn incorrectly.

It has been a while since the incident happened. It seems that Commander Sun has already invited some "experts", but I'm afraid that most of them are charlatans.

Of course, not all talismans are useless. Some of them are drawn pretty well, which shows that there are still a few people with Taoist skills among them.

"This is it."

A moment later, they arrived at a big house in the center of the town, and the soldiers escorted Li Kunshan to the door and left.

“Come with us!”

After entering the house, we were led in by Commander Sun's guards.

Although it was the best house in the town, it could not be compared with the capital. It was just two entrances and two exits. After a while, he arrived at the living room.

"Report to the commander! The people have been brought here!"

At the door, the guard shouted to report.

Then he turned to Li Kunshan and motioned him to go in.

Li Kunshan curled his lips, acting nervous, and then walked into the house.

There were already quite a few people sitting inside, monks, Taoists, lamas, or some other kind of people sitting on both sides in all kinds of attire. I think they were all ghost-catching 'experts' invited by Commander Sun from all over the place.

Sitting in the front seat was a tall, middle-aged man in military uniform with a sinister look. He should be Commander Sun.

Even without checking his breath, one could tell he was in a bad state by looking at his pale face and bloodshot eyes. The gun on his waist, with the safety on, showed he was in a state of high tension.

Li Kunshan smiled in his heart again, he came at the right time.

"Where are you from?"

"You're so young, and you dare to say you can catch ghosts? Boy, this place, Commander Sun, is not a place for you to cheat and eat for free."

"This time it's a real scam. Don't let your money go unpunished, and you might even lose your life."

"I advise you to go back to where you came from."

Commander Sun sat there without saying a word, not even looking at Li Kunshan. Instead, the people on both sides of him started to speak, then looked at Li Kunshan with sneers and mocking expressions.

"I'm from Fujian. Haha, what a coincidence! The ghosts we caught were real ones. If there weren't any ghosts, I wouldn't have come here."

Li Kunshan glanced at everyone and smiled.

It's really interesting to see Li Gui trying Li Kui.

"What a tough mouth."

"I ask you, what sect or school do you belong to?"

Seeing that Li Kunshan was not scared, these people spoke again, wanting to dig deep and expose Li Kunshan.

"I am not talented, I am from Maoshan Sect."

Although Li Kunshan was polite in his words, he raised his head slightly, and there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

As one of the three mountains of talismans, and with the activeness of Maoshan disciples in recent years, Maoshan's reputation has even surpassed Longhu Mountain, and it can be said to be the number one golden signboard in the spiritual world!

As a disciple of Maoshan, why shouldn't he be proud?

"Maoshan?"

"Heh, another one from Maoshan."

Unexpectedly, instead of bowing down, the crowd even showed disdain and their tone was a bit sinister.

"Hmm? I'll go."

Li Kunshan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

Yes, it is precisely because Maoshan’s reputation is so famous now that many swindlers use Maoshan’s name as a cover.

Now out of ten Maoshans, nine and a half are fake, and the remaining half are wild Maoshans.

The so-called wild Maoshan are those who are not real disciples of Maoshan, and not even from the side branches, but they know a little magic and are liars who claim to be from the Maoshan sect.

It can be said that Maoshan’s reputation has been ruined by these scammers.

Therefore, when Li Kunshan said that he was a disciple of Maoshan, the reaction of these talents made them even more convinced that he was a liar.

Li Kunshan felt depressed. There were too many fake Li Kui, and even he, the real Li Kui, was mistaken for a fake.

It seems that I have no choice but to show off my skills.

Li Kunshan snorted softly, raised his hand and threw out several puppet talismans, sticking them on several teacups. The next moment, the teacups of several "experts" flew up.

"Um……"

Only then did Commander Sun raise his head and glance at Li Kunshan.

"Puppet Talisman?"

Several people panicked, snatched back the teacups, and glared at Li Kunshan angrily.

There were also some knowledgeable people among them who immediately recognized Li Kunshan's methods.

But then, he sneered again.

"Don't think that just because you learned a spell from somewhere, you are a true disciple of Maoshan."

"That's right, the talismans I know how to make can dispel evil and suppress evil spirits, so can I also call myself a disciple of Maoshan?"

Although he already knew that Li Kunshan was not just a charlatan and did have some tricks up his sleeve, he still did not take him seriously.

It's just a puppet talisman, a little trick.

Then, someone suddenly said something with a sneer.

"Do you know about the ghost hunting convention?"

"Ghost Hunting Convention?"

Li Kunshan was stunned and nodded with a smile.

"Know something."

"You do have some knowledge, but knowing is useless. With your limited skills, you are not qualified to participate."

The man snorted coldly, his face full of pride again.

"I'm in the top 30 at this ghost hunting competition!"

"Top 30? That's not very high."

"Kid, what do you know? The Ghost Hunting Conference is a grand event for the entire spirit world! I'm ranked in the top 30, which means my ghost hunting skills are among the top 30 in the country!"

"Ah."

Li Kunshan sneered again and looked at the man.

"You're in the top 30, so you don't know me?"

"I do not know."

The man was stunned, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Why should I know you?"

"Sorry, I'm late."

As they were talking, a middle-aged man walked in.

Seeing this man come in, Commander Sun, who had been feeling listless, immediately perked up.

At the same time, the others also stood up and bowed with smiles on their faces.

"Master Lei Gang."

"Master, you are here!"

"Well, I heard there's a new fellow here, so I came to see him."

The man walked straight to the first seat on the left and sat down, then raised his head to look at Li Kunshan. After seeing clearly, he was stunned and then stood up again.

He took two or three steps forward and bowed to Li Kunshan.

"It's actually Master Kunshan. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"

"Master Lei Gang, you're too polite."

Li Kunshan returned the greeting with a smile, but he was secretly wondering why Lei Gang was there too.

"This is……"

Seeing this, everyone including Commander Sun were all surprised.

They never expected that this new boy actually knew Lei Gang!
Moreover, Lei Gang was surprisingly so polite.

You know, although Lei Gang usually appears to be approachable, he is actually arrogant and never really takes them seriously.

Although I know this, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, they are so clever.

"Master Lei Gang, do you know this guy?"

"How to talk!"

Lei Gang glared at the man, then turned to Commander Sun and introduced him solemnly.

"This Master Kunshan is the 36th generation disciple of Maoshan. He is the direct descendant of Master Xuanyi, the head of Maoshan, and his uncle, Master Jiu!"

“He…”

"He's really a Maoshan disciple!"

Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes and looked at Li Kunshan in disbelief.

Originally thought he was just another charlatan, but never expected that ninety-nine out of a hundred people claiming to be from Maoshan were liars, and they only encountered this one real one!

Moreover, he is the direct disciple of the head of Maoshan. It sounds like his status is extraordinary even in Maoshan.

"He is actually a Maoshan master!"

Commander Sun showed surprise on his face and stood up subconsciously in excitement.

Before he could greet him, Lei Gang continued to introduce with a smile on his face.

"As you all know, I was fortunate enough to come in second place at this ghost hunting competition. The one who took first place was none other than Master Kunshan."

"what!"

"He is... is at the top of the list!"

Everyone looked at Li Kunshan again, their faces filled with shock.

Especially the guy who had just boasted about being in the top 30 of the ghost hunting competition, and was so proud of it, now blushed crimson with embarrassment. Not to mention that he was bragging, even if it was true, in front of the top of the list, the top 30 was nothing.

"Grandmaster!"

Commander Sun opened his eyes wide and became more and more excited. He walked quickly to Li Kunshan, grabbed Li Kunshan's hand, and there was almost pleading in his eyes.

"Whether I can turn danger into safety this time depends entirely on you!"

"Commander Sun is too polite."

Li Kunshan smiled and looked at Lei Gang next to him, but frowned secretly.

What is this guy up to?

Before Li Kunshan came, it was obvious that Lei Gang had gained the trust of Commander Sun and had enough strength to intimidate other colleagues.

At this time, he introduced Li Kunshan so grandly, especially saying that Li Kunshan was at the top of the ghost-catching competition, and he was just lucky enough to be second. Wasn't this clearly telling everyone that Li Kunshan was better than him?

In this way, wouldn't the position of "chief" under General Sun be equivalent to handing it over to Li Kunshan?
It would be fine if Lei Gang was broad-minded and upright, but as a time traveler, Li Kunshan knew what kind of person Lei Gang was.

He is insidious, treacherous, good at disguise, and extremely powerful, a true villain.

Although in the later part of the TV series, Lei Gang was successfully whitewashed.

But in this world, it probably hasn't developed to that point yet.

Could it be that, because the world is different, Lei Gang has not turned evil at all, so there is no question of whitewashing.

Li Kunshan pondered for a while, feeling that it was not that simple.

Before we figure it out, let's wait and see. In short, we still need to be more cautious about Lei Gang!
"Master Li, I'm so happy that you can come."

After a while, everyone was dismissed, and Commander Sun and Li Kunshan went to a room alone to have a detailed discussion.

Commander Sun still looked excited, and he did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"You should already know everything about me. Please use your magic power to destroy those evil spirits!"

"It's not that simple."

"I know. After all, that evil ghost is very powerful. Master Lei Gang also said before that it would be difficult to deal with. Besides, that ghost woman has many subordinates."

Commander Sun's face was gloomy, and he continued quickly.

"But you are a disciple of Maoshan, you can ask for help! Invite your fellow disciples, your master, uncles, and even your grandmaster! How can a dignified Maoshan be afraid of a bunch of evil spirits?"

"Oh, that's not necessary. I can handle this matter by myself."

"That's great!"

"but."

Li Kunshan smiled and said pretentiously.

"This group of evil spirits is extraordinary. I'm afraid I'm going to lose a lot of my cultivation."

"Loss of cultivation?"

Commander Sun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said with a generous smile.

"Master, don't worry! I will definitely not let your efforts go in vain. Just name your price!"

"Commander Sun is indeed straightforward."

They just robbed the Eastern Tomb. Just as Gu Xuanwu and the others said, Commander Sun is now rich.

In that case, Li Kunshan didn't bother to be polite with him and simply stretched out ten fingers.

"One hundred thousand dollars?"

Commander Sun frowned slightly, then waved his hand.

"As long as Master can help me solve it, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand!"

"No no no."

Unexpectedly, Li Kunshan waved his hands repeatedly with a slight smile on his face.

Although more money is better, especially since Li Kunshan needs money to buy tonics to create the Blood God Son, No. 5 has been gradually taking over Gurus's industry.

So in terms of money alone, Li Kunshan is no longer in a very urgent situation.

In contrast, he needed something else.

Suddenly his expression became serious and he spoke directly.

"I want to pick out ten of the things Commander Sun got from Dongling!"

"What did you say!"

Commander Sun, who had been calm and composed just now, suddenly stood up and looked at Li Kunshan with wide eyes, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Take advantage of the situation!

The rip-off hit him on the head!
You know, those burial objects are rare treasures, each of which is priceless, but Li Kunshan actually asked for ten of them!
Although he stole hundreds of treasures from Dongling, ten pieces were not many in comparison.

But if Li Kunshan were to pick first, he would definitely pick the ten most valuable items, and that would be different.

"Since Commander Sun is willing to sacrifice his life but not his wealth, I will not disturb you any further."

Li Kunshan snorted and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Seeing this, Commander Sun quickly stopped him.

Would you rather sacrifice your life than your wealth? What good is wealth if you don’t have the life to spend it?

At this moment, Li Kunshan was simply Commander Sun's life-saving straw. How could he be allowed to leave like this?

As for using force, he had long known that these people could not be controlled by ordinary troops.

Under the current circumstances, it seems that the only way to avoid disaster is to spend money.

"four pairs!"

After pondering for a while, Commander Sun frowned and gave a number.

"Six."

Li Kunshan snorted lightly and spoke directly without waiting for Commander Sun to continue bargaining.

"There's no room for negotiation."

"..."

Commander Sun frowned, pondered for a while, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Okay! Six pieces!"

Here, Li Kunshan and Commander Sun were talking alone, and the rest of the people, except Lei Gang, couldn't help but gather together.

Previously, Lei Gang alone defeated them all, and now Li Kunshan has come. What do they have to do here?

How can I be willing to accept having such a big piece of fat meat right in front of my mouth but not being able to take a bite?

"No! We must prove to Commander Sun that we can catch these ghosts too!"

After discussing for a while, everyone made a decision with serious expressions.
