Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 33

Lu Yuanming won the Autumn Examination, and he was the first in the provincial examination, which really set a big picture in front of Gu Shen.

This also reminded Gu Shen of when he was in school in his previous life, there was a group of hypocritical academic masters who said that they did not do well in the exam after each exam, and when the exam results came out, they were all ridiculously high.

Lu Yuanming is such a hypocritical academic bully.

There is still half a year before the Spring Festival in the coming year, Lu Yuanming said that there is still plenty of time for preparations, while preparing, he would come to Gu Shen for a drink every few days, and the small life is also chic and comfortable, but every time he talks about the world When the situation is chaotic, it is only when you are depressed.

a few days later.

In prison, Gu Shen inspected each cell.

The other guards are lazy and slippery, but Gu Shen is the only one who is meticulous about his work. This kind of serious work attitude has made Captain Ma ask more than once for Gu Shen to formally join the Imperial City Division.

It's just that Gu Shen shied away from this opportunity that other people dreamed of. He made it clear that he only wanted to be a quiet little jailer and guard the iron rice bowl passed down from his ancestors.

Gu Shen's form is updated every day, allowing him to know the prisoner's physical condition well and maximize his benefits.

Among them, the Tongxuan old Taoist in cell No. [-] is also his key focus, not only because of the strength of the second-rank Tongxuan old Taoist, but also because this old Taoist has reached the point of exhaustion and may die anytime, anywhere.

As the most powerful prisoner in the Imperial Prison, Gu Shen hoped day and night that the old Taoist Tongxuan would die soon.

If it wasn't for worrying about being exposed, Gu Shen would have planned to personally kill this old Taoist Tongxuan.

For Tongxuan old Taoist, Gu Shen did not have the slightest sympathy. There are many prisoners who have been imprisoned unjustly in the imperial prison, but Tongxuan old Taoist is definitely not among them.

When Emperor Xuanhe was in power, Tongxuan's old Taoism won the emperor's heart and tricked the emperor into building the Temple of Chengtian, which cost a lot of money and exhausted the country and the people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Tongxuan's crime was heinous.

When he came to cell No. [-], Gu Shen inspected it, and the old Taoist Tongxuan was still hanging on his breath.

"This old thing's life is really as tenacious as a cockroach." Gu Shen thought to himself, sighed, and turned around regretfully to leave.

Just as he was about to close the jack gate inside, the old Taoist Tongxuan who had only one breath left suddenly spoke.

His voice was very weak, if it wasn't for Gu Shen's amazing hearing now, he might not be able to hear what he said clearly.

"Little brother, wait a minute." Tong Xuan called to stop Gu Shen who was about to leave.

Gu Shen frowned, hesitated a little, raised his legs and walked back to the cell. He is now a second-rank martial artist, and even when Tong Xuan was at his peak, he was only at the same level as him. There is danger, and he is confident that he can deal with it.

Gu Shen came to the old Taoist Tongxuan, looked at the old Taoist Tongxuan who looked like a dead dog, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

The old Taoist Tongxuan looked at Gu Shen in front of him, rested for a while, and then continued: "Little brother, I want to ask you a favor."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, looked at the old Taoist Tongxuan in front of him, and said with a smile: "Why should I help you?"

Tongxuan said, "As long as you are willing to help me, no matter whether you succeed or not, I will give you 10 taels of gold as a reward."

Hearing Tong Xuan's words, Gu Shen was taken aback.

What is the concept of 10 taels of gold?According to the exchange ratio of the Dayin Dynasty, 10 taels of gold is roughly equivalent to 100 million or 110 million taels of silver.

The annual tax revenue of the Dayin Dynasty is less than 2000 million taels of silver, and the money used by Tongxuan Taoist as a reward is equivalent to [-]/[-] of the annual tax revenue of the Dayin Dynasty.

This was only brought out by the old Taoist Tongxuan, so how many more did he not show up?How much money did the imperial court spend on the entire Chengtianguan in these years?

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "What did you ask me to help first? See if I can do it, because I'm afraid I won't die."

This money did make Gu Shen a little tempted, but the reason why Gu Shen decided to verbally agree to Tongxuan Old Taoist first was because he wanted to see what Tongxuan Old Taoist wanted him to do.

Gu Shen remembered that when Tongxuan Laodao was interrogated, Tongxuan Laodao said that the reason why he had achieved today was because he had a second elder brother who worshiped in the immortal sect. Gu Shen guessed that at this time, if Tongxuan Laodao still If there is any hole card, it should be related to his second brother.

Up to now, Gu Shen is still dubious about what Tongxuan Taoist said that day, this time he can just verify it.

To Gu Shen's reaction, Tong Xuan was also a little surprised.

If ordinary people hear 10 taels of gold, they would probably be blinded by such a large amount of money, but Gu Shen remained calm.

But seeing Gu Shen being so cautious, Tong Xuan felt more at ease. The better Gu Shen performed, the greater the hope of helping him complete that matter, and the greater the hope of his survival.

Tong Xuan said: "I want to ask you to deliver something for me."

Gu Shen's heart skipped a beat, his face remained calm, and he said, "What is it?"

Tongxuan said: "A token, the token is in the cave under the cliff of the back mountain of Chengtian Temple."

Old Taoist Tongxuan struggled to speak, he was out of breath, obviously he couldn't hold on for too long.

"Go to the cliff at the back of Chengtian Temple and find an old locust tree with a crooked neck. The cave is three feet away from the locust tree."

"Into the cave, at the end, there is a futon, one foot and one foot in front of the futon, dig two feet down, there is a small box, there are 10 taels of gold tickets in the box, you take the gold tickets, and there are other Some sundries, you can take them away if you want, and throw them there if you don’t want them.”

Hearing Tongxuan Taoist make things so tight, Gu Shen cursed cunning in his heart, if the old Taoist died in this prison one day, those things would probably never be seen in the world.

Old Taoist Tongxuan slowed down before continuing:
"In the box is a palm-sized golden plate with the words 'Albatron Gate' written on it."

"Take this golden plate and go to the mountains in the west of Yizhou to look for Qingyun Mountain. There is not much information about Qingyun Mountain outside, but some old woodcutters in the mountain know the general location of Qingyun Mountain. You can ask many ways or pay the woodcutter Husband will show you the way."

"When you come to Qingyun Mountain, someone will sense your golden plate and come to see you, so you should tell that person that you want to find Ma Shaowen."

"After you see Ma Shaowen, tell him about my situation and ask him to come and save me quickly."

"Remember, you have to bring the golden dish, it's a keepsake, without the golden dish, you won't be able to see Qingyun Mountain."

"If things don't work out, let's go. If things work out, little brother, I will give you a great fortune that you can't even imagine."

After drawing the cake for Gu Shen, the old Taoist Tongxuan lost his strength and closed his eyes.

This matter is very important. The reason why he chose Gu Shen was because he found that Gu Shen came to him the most times to make inspections, far more than other jailers.

Maybe he just became a jailer, and he couldn't bear to see himself a hunched old man with white hair.

Maybe he has other plans, such as gold and silver financial reports, and martial arts and secret techniques. As long as he has plans, the old Taoist Tongxuan can satisfy him.

No matter what the reason was, Tong Xuan decided to take a gamble on Gu Shen.

"Okay." After Gu Shen finished speaking, he turned and left Cell A[-].

After closing the two heavy gates, Gu Shen continued to inspect the cell, but there was one more thing on his mind.

Gu Shen did not doubt the authenticity of the words of the old Taoist Tongxuan. The life and death of the old Taoist Tongxuan was only a matter of time. In order to save his life, he did not dare to talk nonsense.

It's just that Gu Shen didn't plan to go to Chengtian Guanhou Mountain immediately today, he planned to go again in a few days.

He silently read the location of the box twice in his heart.

"This old dog is really cunning, and he hides it so tightly. The imperial court has already searched Chengtian Temple, but no matter what, the imperial court would never have thought that the old Taoist Tongxuan still has a large amount of money and important assets in the back mountain."

Three days later.

Gu Shen didn't go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with his colleagues after he was released from Yamen, but went straight home.

After eating, go back to the house to meditate and rest.

At midnight, it was late at night, and people all went home to rest.

Gu Shen changed into the new clothes he was wearing for the first time, and left the house.

Chengtian Temple is in the eastern suburbs of the capital. After leaving the house, Gu Shen passed through Qiumingfang, Xuanpingfang, and Xinchangfang, and came to Yanxingmen.

At this time, the gate of the city had already been closed, Gu Shen found an empty city wall, and with a slight force on his feet, he jumped up like a bird, and crossed the city wall silently.

Gu Shen is now full of internal energy, and with all his strength on his way, he arrived outside Chengtian Temple in less than half a stick of incense.

Chengtian Temple, which was extremely prosperous at the beginning, is now in dilapidated condition, with a white seal pasted on the gate, and there is no light inside, it is completely dark.

Gu Shen bypassed Chengtian Temple and came to the back mountain of Chengtian Temple.

When he came to the cliff, Gu Shen looked down the cliff and saw an old locust tree with a crooked neck. With a light tap of his foot, he jumped off the cliff and landed on the branch of the old locust tree.

Looking around, I saw a cave three feet away to the right of the old locust tree.

"Damn it, the old dog is really nothing. Fortunately, I have amazing eyesight. If I were an ordinary person, it would be really hard to find this cave, and it would be hard to get in if I found it." Gu Shen couldn't help scolding Tong Xuan again. Sophisticated.

After cursing, Gu Shen jumped into the cave.

The further you walked in, the darker it became, and the moonlight couldn't come in. After walking a few meters, Gu Shen took out a fire pocket and opened it. The fire dispelled the darkness and illuminated the cave.

The cave is not deep, and after walking about ten meters, it came to the end.

Sure enough, there was a white futon on the ground.

"One foot and one foot."

"About three and a half meters."

Gu Shen compared it and found a place to start digging. Instead of using tools, he wrapped his hands with inner air and started digging.

His hands are flying, like an excavator is working, even if there are rocks underneath, they will be crushed by Gu Shen's palm.

In less than a stick of incense, Gu Shen dug down to a depth of about half a meter.

click.

Gu Shen touched something with his left hand, pulled back his strength, and cleared the earth and rocks on it, a small box one foot long and half a foot wide suddenly appeared.

Gu Shen picked up the box, put it on the ground, held the fire folder in one hand, and opened the box with the other.

The items inside appeared in front of Gu Shen.
