My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

"Don't panic! The general won't harm you! There's no poison in this porridge!"

The people calmed down a little after hearing Wan Yanzhong's voice, and the people who had fallen to the ground stood up. They rubbed their heads and looked around in confusion.

Zhao Jinghua looked at Zhou Lang and his group calmly and said, "Take them all on the carriage and send them to Zhongshan Temple." Then he transformed three gold ingots into gold and handed them to Zhou Lang. "After settling them down, hand them over to the abbot of the temple and tell him that I am sorry for causing him trouble. I hope to know their recent situation regularly."

Zhou Lang took it with both hands and said, "I understand."

Soon all the villains woke up, all with the same expression, confused and helpless. When Zhou Lang walked over, they quickly dodged and shouted, "General, I didn't do anything wrong!"

Zhao Jinghua looked at him in a gentle tone and said, "Don't be afraid. There are no extra houses in the city. How about sending you to live in the temple first?" In just a moment, the group of people looked at Zhao Jinghua blankly and nodded.

It was not until Zhao Jinghua stopped looking at them that the group of people stopped being stunned and got on the carriage obediently. Soon the two-wheeled carriage was full of people. They looked no different from ordinary people. Some people in one carriage even started discussing what country they were from and who else was in their family.

Wan Sutong opened her mouth wide, as if her jaw was dislocated. "What is going on?"

The system chuckled and said, "This is Zhao Jinghua's illusion. If you make eye contact with him, you can deceive people and change their memories. But don't be afraid, host. You have my protection and you won't be deceived."

Wan Sutong nodded, but still felt that the system was a little unreliable. At this time, Cheng Yuangang came out of the yard. "General, the porridge is ready." Zhao Jinghua hummed and looked at the people. "I'm sorry to scare you. There will be no more villains in the city in the future. The porridge is ready. Please, everyone." Then Zhao Jinghua and Wan Yanzhong stepped aside and let the people follow Cheng Yuangang into the mansion.

At this time, Wan Yanzhong saw his precious daughter getting off the carriage and hurried over. "This time, my daughter has made a great contribution."

Wan Sutong smiled and glanced at Zhao Jinghua with a guilty conscience, "That's also thanks to the help of the eldest master."

Wan Yanzhong patted Wan Sutong's hand and said, "I heard from the eldest master that you want to practice with him?"

Wan Sutong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Daddy."

Wan Yanzhong sighed, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up."

Wan Sutong uttered an "ah" as she didn't understand what he meant. Zhao Jinghua came over and said, "I'm afraid that Magistrate Wan has misunderstood. I won't take Miss Sutong to the military camp. I will only teach Miss Sutong when I have free time. After all, Miss Sutong has helped me a lot."

Wan Sutong finally understood what Wan Yanzhong meant, and quickly raised her hand to swear, "No, Daddy, I swear, I have no love for you, only admiration."

Wan Yanzhong heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. Otherwise, if your mother comes back some time later and knows that you are in the eldest son's military camp, she will definitely think that I am vain and gave my daughter to the rich and powerful."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Governor Wan. I just think Miss Su Tong is a child."

Wan Yanzhong's face was filled with sorrow. "Of course I know, but I'm afraid that my daughter will cause trouble to you, sir." Zhao Jinghua nodded without saying anything. At this time, some common people were already walking out of the mansion with porridge in their hands. When they saw Zhao Jinghua and the other two, they thanked them repeatedly. Because Cheng Yuangang had just tried it himself, the common people waited for a long time before they dared to pick up their bowls of porridge. After eating the hot porridge, the common people realized that the silver-haired general was really doing this for their own good.

After the people left, Zhao Jinghua handed Wan Sutong a book and a porcelain bottle. "This porcelain bottle contains the Marrow Cleansing Pill. After taking it, you can practice with this mental method. If Miss Sutong can understand the mental method, take the Marrow Cleansing Pill. If you can't understand it, it doesn't matter. I will go to Wan's house to teach Miss Sutong in a few days."

Wan Sutong quickly took the pills and the book of the secret technique and said, "Thank you, young master."

Wan Yanzhong knew that this marrow cleansing pill was not something that ordinary people could get, so he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, young master. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and shook his head, "No need, your daughter helped me a lot, I should do this." After Zhao Jinghua left

Wan Sutong returned to her boudoir in a flash, but when she opened the book of the mind technique, she froze in her tracks. "Oracle bone script!"

The system chuckled and said, "It is precisely because it is written in ancient characters that many people are stumped. This book is not an original method, but one of the most useful mental methods summarized by Zhao Jinghua."

Wan Sutong looked at the system and said, "So you must recognize it, right?"

The system nodded with pride in its tone, "Of course, it just requires 5,000 points."

Wan Sutong thought of her 140,000 points and became a little worried, "Could it be 5,000 points for a piece of paper?"

The system shook its head nonchalantly, "From now on, this system will translate for you."

Wan Sutong suddenly realized, "What you mean is that I will hire you as an interpreter for one or two taels of silver, right?"

The system nodded, "Correct!"

Wan Sutong was still a little worried. After all, this was 5,000 points. "It's permanent, right?"

The system nodded and shook its head. "It can be considered permanent, but when the host returns to the original world, it will be unbound from me, so it is not permanent."

Wan Sutong nodded and said, "Then I'll buy it." As soon as he finished speaking, the system made a ding sound, "Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Oracle translation."

Wan Sutong rubbed his hands impatiently and said, "Quick, quick, translate for me."

"Excuse me, host, do you want me to dictate or take notes?" Wan Sutong was a little surprised. "Of course I want notes! It would be so troublesome if I forget."

"Host, please wait for thirty seconds before printing is completed. Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight... ten, nine," Wan Sutong listened to the countdown that kept decreasing and began to rub her hands like a fly. When the countdown ended, a book that was no different from the original one appeared on the desktop. Wan Sutong was about to get angry but still patiently opened it. Fortunately, it was translated Chinese characters, otherwise Wan Sutong would definitely grab the system and ask it to return the money.

The system was frightened by Wan Sutong's expression just now, but fortunately it was safe. It smiled and said, "Host, although we have only known each other for less than a week, this system will not cheat the host of money."

Wan Sutong was silent for a moment. "Uh... I'll just have to believe you."

The system nodded. "According to the calculation of this system, you will be with the host for fifty years in the future. Let me introduce myself. My digital code is 0533. I am proficient in oracle bone inscriptions, military tactics, and politics. My previous host became the emperor with my assistance. Your mission is to ascend to find the ancient god Xihua, who can help you return to your original world."

Wan Sutong was still in shock and didn't react for a moment. "I will be here for fifty years! Is my mission just to go home?"

The system shook its head and nodded again. "Because of a mistake made by the Lord God, you came to this world, and the target of the strategy was accidentally set to be the God Xihua. He is the ruler of heaven and sees all things as worthless. He does not favor anyone. Therefore, even if he falls into the human world, he does not need redemption and love. Therefore, the host's mission is only to go home."

Wan Sutong's face suddenly darkened. "You mean I came here just by accident!" Wan Sutong almost gritted his teeth when he said the word "accident". The system was so scared that it trembled and regretted telling Wan Sutong the truth, but it couldn't answer Wan Sutong, so it could only timidly say "Yes."

Wan Sutong tried her best to calm the volcano that was about to erupt in her heart. "It can't be that there is no compensation at all, right?"

The system chuckled and said, "That's why I sent this system here. This system can do everything except resurrect people and predict the future. If it were a colleague of this system, the host would need to explore the character's personality and name by himself."

Wan Sutong sneered, "I should thank him, right?"

The system lowered its head and whispered, "That's not necessary. If you really want a mission, you need to find all the people who have traveled through time in this world. When they appear, the system will tell the host."

Wan Sutong sighed, "It seems I'm not the only unlucky one."

The system also sighed, "My last host was very brave and invincible on the battlefield. I am not used to being idle for a while." But a moment later, the system stood on Wan Sutong's shoulder and said, "The enemy army of Beili is coming. Host, do you want to see what Zhao Jinghua is like on the battlefield?"

Wan Sutong shook her head and concentrated on studying this mental method. "Read it for yourself."

"Host, just take a look. It's good for you. Maybe you can become an empress in the future!" Wan Sutong looked at the system in front of her speechlessly. "You are not an emperor system, are you?"

"No, I'm just an auxiliary system." The system added a little embarrassedly, "You can say that."

Wan Sutong's lips curled up unconsciously, "Since you have to stay for fifty years, Zhao Jinghua is the son of the prince, and His Majesty is dying, I will use you to assist Zhao Jinghua. When he ascends to the throne, I will give him whatever reward I want, and then I won't have to worry about the points!"

The system froze in place. It didn't expect the host to be so flexible in thinking. "Host, this is a good idea!"

Wan Sutong's fighting spirit was ignited. He put aside any mental training and quickly asked the system to play the situation outside the city.
