The Yi Cult rented several small towns to the Ghost Sect for soul nurturing. Xu Lian and Lin Chengyu knew that they couldn't say more about this, so they dropped the topic.
Xu Lian then talked about the Fang family's invitation to Lin Chengyu to come to Green Bamboo Town, and asked with a curious smile, "What price did the Fang family pay to get the county Lin family to help Master Pei win the next mayor, or is there any relationship between the Fang family and the county Lin family?"
Lin Chengyu said, "The Fang family has nothing to do with the Lin family. It's just that the Fang family got a pretty good boxing manual from somewhere and gave it to the Lin family. The Lin family then agreed to help talk to the higher-ups and get Patriarch Pei to be the next mayor. But they didn't expect to be rejected by Patriarch Pei."
It goes without saying that the boxing manual that could make the Lin family agree to help must be very good. Xu Lian was a little emotional. In order to help the head of the Pei family become the next mayor, the Fang family even gave him such a boxing manual. The young boy Fang Shaoze was really good to the little hot pepper Pei Zhaoxi, but by mistake, the little hot pepper Pei Zhaoxi was preempted by the older boy, it can only be said that fate is playing tricks on him... Commonly known as Chaotian Pepper
Although Lin Chengyu did not help much, and the Lin family would not return the boxing manual to the Fang family, the Fang family suffered a great loss this time. Not only did they lose the boxing manual, but they also lost the marriage alliance with the Pei family. The Fang family must have hated the Pei family and Xu Lian.
then.
Xu Lian asked about the situation in Pingyang County again, and Lin Chengyu told him one by one.
Xu Lian had a general understanding of Pingyang County.
Pingyang County is still dominated by the Yi Sect and is under the control of the Yi Sect, but there are also some forces from other sects extending their influence in. Generally speaking, they still abide by the rules set by the Yi Sect and generally do not go too far.
A county government office was established in Pingyang County, which included positions such as county magistrate, chief clerk, registrar, and inspector, who served as maintainers of secular order.
Worldly affairs are handled by the government, but when it comes to matters involving spiritual practice and resources, the Yijiao is in charge personally.
This is very similar to Green Bamboo Town and Stone Town. The Yi Sect only cares about the flesh of the earth and the stone marrow, and never asks about other things.
"The most precious spiritual resource in Pingyang County is a spiritual tree?"
Xu Lian was very interested in this.
Lin Chengyu said, "That is a towering tree that can gather spirituality. The closer you are to the tree, the higher the spirituality, and the more suitable it is for cultivation. The entire Pingyang County is built around the tree, and the closer the house is to the tree, the more expensive it is. It cannot be bought with worldly money. Only spiritual stones that contain spirituality can buy it."
The spiritual stones that contain spirituality are the money of practitioners... The purpose of Xu Lian's trip is also to "make money" and then go to the black market to buy Qi Condensation Pills to complete his advancement.
Xu Lian asked Lin Chengyu so many questions, but he didn't have much to reward him, so he could only toast Lin Chengyu frequently... and let Lin Chengyu enjoy more dried meat.
Suddenly, there were light footsteps outside the cabin door, accompanied by a chilly air. Xu Lian felt his hair stand on end and got goose bumps.
There were only him and Lin Chengyu on this brig, including the cargo ship following behind. How could there be footsteps in the cabin
Moreover, the boat was sailing all the time without stopping, so no one was on board.
"Don't open the door, we'll be fine in the cabin."
Lin Chengyu quickly reminded.
Xu Lian lowered his head slightly and peeked curiously at the crack of the door below. He saw a pair of pale feet walking gently in the corridor, with long wet hair trailing behind them.
Is this a human or a ghost
Eighty percent are not human... and twenty percent are ghosts.
I heard a "creak" as the door to the next cabin opened, and then it closed with a "creak". I guess I entered the cabin next door.

"Who got on board at this hour of night?"
Xu Lian lowered his voice.
Lin Chengyu said, "They should be the demons and monsters living on both sides of this river. They have an agreement with the Yi Sect that the Yi Sect's ships can sail freely on this river and they will not obstruct or destroy them. The Yi Sect allows them to take the boats at night without a pass."
Xu Lian understood... this is their privilege.
He had asked all the questions he should have asked, and the two grown men had nothing more to say.
Saying "It's time to rest", Xu Lian gently opened the cabin door, glanced outside, and made sure that there were no monsters in the corridor. He then walked out quickly, closed the door, and drove into a cabin, bolted the door, and used it as his resting place.
The bed was moldy, so he took out some clothes from his bag and spread them on it, then lay down and prepared to take a nap.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, I saw a "person" lying on the ceiling of the cabin, with long hair hanging down.
Oh shit.
Wrong door!
Xu Lian's mind went blank and his whole body froze. He and the person lying on the ceiling looked into each other's eyes.
After a moment, he came to his senses, his face turned green, his whole body tensed, and his hand moved slowly, pressing the sharp knife on his belt. He was ready, but he dared not move, for fear of causing misunderstanding and causing the person lying on the ceiling to suddenly pounce down.
"I want to say this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"
Xu Lian was cautious and tried to slow down his tone so as not to anger the other party.
"Let me first say sorry for disturbing you."
"Then I'll get up, pack my things, and leave the cabin."
"Finally, I will gently close the door for you, and it will be as if I have never been to this cabin."
"Do you think this is okay?"
The "person" lying on the ceiling just looked at him quietly, without making any sound.
"I'll wait another three breaths. If you still don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
"one two three."
"Okay, time's up, I'll pack up my things and leave immediately."
Xu Lian tensed his body and slowly climbed up. At the same time, he kept an eye on the "person" on the ceiling. If there was any unusual movement, he would have to fight desperately!
Fortunately, the "person" on the ceiling did not move, which made him secretly relieved.
He quickly gathered the clothes on the bed, picked up his bag, and tiptoed towards the door.
He unbolted the door, opened it gently, and walked out backwards to avoid being attacked from behind.
"Next time you're on a ship, you might as well bolt the door in your cabin to prevent people from entering through the wrong door."
Xu Lian gave a friendly reminder.
"Have a nice trip, and good night."
"Sweet dreams."
He closed the door quietly, feeling his heart pounding.
This is so exciting.
Then, he frowned. In just a moment, he couldn't remember what the person lying on the ceiling looked like. He could only remember the pale feet, long hair, and red clothes. He couldn't remember anything else.
“What a strange feeling.”
He found it incredible. Could this be Gui's innate characteristic
This was a corridor. If another ghost came aboard and met him, it would be troublesome. Without time to think, he hurriedly opened a cabin. This time, he took a special look at the ceiling, the corners, and under the bed to make sure there were no "foreign objects". Only then did he walk in with confidence, bolted the door, and finally relaxed.
