Daoist priest, stop fighting. The avenue is almost gone.

Chapter 85: Aftermath, working cat, motorcade, bronze-horned golden coffin.
The front yard of Yinlong Temple.

Under the jujube tree.

Yi Chen was sitting at the square table drinking tea, with Zhang's head resting on the stool.

"Master, I have already taken care of everything."

"The incident at Lingfeng Temple was determined to be the work of a passing evil spirit. There were heavy casualties. Some survivors could not bear the stimulation and chose to commit suicide."

"For the body of the deceased, the government has chosen the best 'sandwood' coffin for burial. The money will be advanced by the government and will be deducted from the land and property sold by Lingfeng Temple."

"It's the money obtained from the sale. Master, what do you think you should do with it?" Zhang Captou asked cautiously.

Regarding how to deal with non-performing assets, Zhang Captou already had a replicable strategy because of his experience in dealing with the Wang family's assets, and he was familiar with it. However, he did not dare to make the decision on his own in terms of profit distribution, so he came over early in the morning to ask Yi Chen for instructions.

Yi Chen took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table and replied:

"No matter who buys those acres of land for sale, the rent cannot exceed 100% of what the tenant farmer earns within [-] years. In exchange, the price of the acres can be lower. This is the bottom line. Can it be done?"

"Master, according to the rules, the rent is usually [-]% to [-]%. If it is [-]%, it will greatly affect the price of the land..." Zhang Captou said hesitantly, but before he finished speaking, in Yi Chen's Looking sideways, he decisively chose to shut up, and then said, "No problem."

"It's no problem." Yi Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Disciple, master will teach you another lesson today."

"Money can never be earned. People should never think about exerting extreme pressure to earn the last copper, otherwise there will be unexpected disasters."

"Believe me, master. You have to understand the truth yourself. What you realize is your own."

"The money earned from selling the land in Lingfengguan will be divided into [-]% by the county magistrates, and you and your subordinates will get [-]%. You can go to the County and Town Ansi and say that you are my disciple. Meet Lin Qian in the north of Linzhen. Husband, give him [-]%, and bring me the remaining [-]%."

After arranging the matter in a few words, Yi Chen sent Zhang Captou away.

Five days later, Capt. Zhang sent 4000 taels of silver notes.

....
....
At night, the backyard of Yinlongguan.

"Senior brother, are you leaving tomorrow?" Qing Yunzi sat across from Yi Chen and said with a sideways glance.

"Yes, I called you here today just to give you an explanation."

Yi Chen nodded, took out six 1000 taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Qingyunzi.

The cash he had received from Lingfeng Guanjia a few days ago had been exchanged for banknotes.

"Junior brother, keep these banknotes. Remember, keep the coffin book of 3000 taels and don't use it. Use the rest to recruit new disciples and expand the Taoist temple."

"You also need to supervise Qingfeng and Mingyue's practice, and don't let your own practice fall behind. The burden on you is very heavy."

"Before I leave, senior brother, I have one more thing to warn you."

"If you save people and lose land, everyone will gain them. If you save land, you will lose people, and everyone will lose."

"Although senior brother has already established a good relationship with the Zhen'an Department, accidents are inevitable. If you encounter an irresistible risk, after receiving the information from the Zhen'an Department, when it's time to hide and retreat, don't be reluctant to part with your current possessions."

"The 3000 taels I asked you to save are just for dealing with this kind of crisis."

"Senior brother..." Qingyunzi looked complicated at this time.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little sentimental, Yi Chen stood up with a smile, and pulled out Qingyunzi's hair like he did when he was a child.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to see your senior brother traveling far away?"

"Why don't we, brothers and sisters, compete against each other for a practice session tonight when the moonlight is beautiful tonight? Let us brothers and sisters see how much progress you have made in these days?"

"No fight, no fight." Upon hearing Yi Chen's words, Qing Yunzi was so frightened that he quickly took three steps back and shook his head like a rattle, which made Yi Chen couldn't help laughing.

The next day, the morning light was faint.

Yi Chen went to the Patriarch Hall and placed three pillars of incense on the tablets of all the ancestors and the tablet of his master Bai Yunzi.

"My dear Patriarch, my disciple will be traveling far away today. Please wish me a smooth journey."

"Don't worry, when this disciple gets rich in the future, I will definitely get you 10 taels of gold to build a big golden body for all the ancestors, so that my Yinlong Temple will be famous all over the world."

"If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence. Thank you, Patriarch, for your protection."

After kowtowing respectfully three times, Yi Chen decided to get wet.

"Elder brother, be careful all the way."

"Elder brother, go and come back early. We will miss you."

The two little ones said goodbye to Yi Chen one by one, while Qingyunzi stood aside.

Early in the morning, Yi Chen got up and packed his luggage to prepare for departure.

In addition to some changes of clothes, Yi Chen's luggage contained a portable tent that he designed and customized in the past few days.

Because he didn't like the sentimental emotions when parting, he originally wanted to get up early and leave secretly, but he didn't expect that the breeze and the bright moon today were so alert and got up earlier than him...
"Okay, don't give it away, Qingfeng Mingyue, you must listen carefully to the words of the second senior brother. The senior brother will be back soon."

Waving his hands freely, Yi Chen took long strides and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

The sword has been put on, and you are already in the world when you go out.

Xiao Miao squatted on Yi Chen's shoulder. Yi Chen took out the official map he had prepared before and planned the route to Longhu Mountain. He pointed at the location of a certain city on the map with his big hand.

"Are you ready? Xiaomei~"

"Our next stop is Longjiang Mansion."

"I heard that there are a lot of little wild cats in Longjiang Prefecture, and they are all pretty and smooth."

Xiao Miao's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he meowed happily in response to Yi Chen's words, urging Yi Chen to leave quickly.

"Meow meow meow! (Go, go, go!)"

"You pervert." Yi Chen laughed and scolded, then turned and left, embarking on the official road to Longjiang Mansion.Behind him, when Hidden Dragon Temple became an insignificant dot in the field of vision, and then when the tall Zhuilong Mountain became the size of a soybean, Yi Chen could not help but feel a touch of sadness in his heart.

"Hope this trip goes well."

Yi Chen turned back and took one last look at Shuilong Mountain. He shook his head to drive out the strange emotions in his mind. Then he no longer hesitated and continued to walk away.

One person and one cat just drifted away from Fengyun County and Zhuilong Mountain behind them.

After walking like this for three or four hours, the sun set in the west and the sky gradually dimmed.

At this moment, a big gray rabbit suddenly flashed past the official road. Yi Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw it. At noon, he just ate some dry food, and a bird almost appeared in his mouth.

As a result, he didn't see any game along the way, so his idea of ​​a tooth festival came to nothing.

Now a hare finally appears, so we can't let it go.

He immediately gave orders.

"Xiao Meow, come on!"

"Xiao Miao, cut him in the middle and attack his chassis."

The journey was boring, so Yi Chen transformed into a commander of spring water and started shouting to instruct the little cat to catch rabbits.

After raising a cat for many days and using it for a while, he can't let him take care of such a trivial matter personally.

After a while, the little meow walked over with the big gray rabbit in his mouth with elegant cat steps.

"Well done, give me a verbal reward."

Not bad, he was much more relaxed with Xiao Miao along the way.

Yi Chen smiled and patted Xiao Miao's head as a sign of approval, and Xiao Miao's head was raised higher.

Young cats have never experienced severe beatings from society, and they don’t know what it means to give them a pie or give them verbal praise.

As a spiritual beast, Xiao Meow has grown very quickly. Now it is killing those beasts that have not yet developed their intelligence. It is like Tyson and his childhood rivals. With a pinch in hand, Yi Chen can sit back and enjoy the results.

Yinlong Guan is poor, and the little cat from a poor family has already become the master, so it makes sense to work more.

Looking around, Yi Chen found a place with spring water, peeled and washed the gray rabbit, and immediately started baking it. Then he took out the spices he had prepared from his baggage and sprinkled them on it. After a while, the scent of roasted rabbit filled the air.

Although the roasted rabbit cooked in this way is not as good as charcoal roasting and lacks a little soul, with the blessing of the secret sauce, it is not bad at all.

Eryitianzuowu broke off a rabbit leg and gave it to Xiaomiao. In Xiaomiao's shocked eyes, Yi Chen showed off the rest of the roasted rabbit by himself.

"It's getting late. We're still a long way from Musen Station. Xiaomei, we have to hurry up, otherwise we'll have to sleep outdoors today."

Yi Chen looked at the map given to him by the county magistrate in his hand, then looked at the sky, and then took Xiao Miao on his journey again.

...

...

"Please stay alert, it's going to be night soon. We have to get to Musen Station quickly. It's difficult to travel at night, brothers."

"The brothers on the lookout at the back should show me their skills. In this wilderness, evil spirits are not the only things that can harm people."

"Sometimes, people are scarier than evil spirits. If you encounter suspicious situations, remember to report them immediately."

"This trip is a big deal. We must not damage the sign of our Weiyuan Escort Agency."

After some joking, the subordinates regained their spirits. The bearded knight on a big horse came to a carriage and said respectfully to the carriage:
"Miss Jun, there is a post station not far ahead. We will stay here for one night today and start our journey tomorrow."

The curtains of the carriage were opened, revealing a face that looked both angry and happy.

"This will trouble Mr. Zhang."

"Is my great-grandfather's body okay?"

The voice was soft and crisp, which made people's hearts tremble.

When the young escorts and guards around him heard this, they puffed up their chests and were as proud as a rooster with its tail spread.

"Don't worry, Miss. Your great-grandfather's body is in the middle of the motorcade. It is escorted in a golden coffin with copper horns and guarded by Taoist Master Baihe and his four disciples. It is absolutely safe."

At this moment, an escort at the rear of the convoy who was in charge of lookout suddenly exclaimed:

"Headguard, headguard, there is a strong man coming from behind. He is tall and built like a bear. He is also carrying a weapon. He is full of evil spirits. He who comes is not good."

Hearing this, Zhang Biaotou pulled out his waist knife, turned around and shouted:

"Who dares to touch the bid of my Weiyuan Escort Agency? If you insert the bid and sell the first one, will you be considered a dead person if I open the door with my five tigers' sword?"

"Damn it, there's a strange black cat squatting on this strong man's shoulder. It's very scary."

Zhang Biaotou put the sword back into its sheath and swallowed back the angry shout that was about to come out of his mouth.

He rode forward, and under the surprised gazes of the other escorts, his face smiled like a chrysanthemum, even a little flattering, and his face changed so quickly that it was amazing.

"Taoist Priest, we are really destined!"

Yi Chen: "..." Who wants to have a fate with a rough guy like you?

Yi Chen cursed in his heart, but still politely said:
"Five tigers cut off the door, cut off the sword, and Zhang escort head, we meet again."

The person in front of him was the escort leader Zhang whom he met in Qingshui River before.

There is no wind or moon tonight, and the dark sky hangs above the sky like an iron curtain.

Several bonfires were rising in the courtyard of Musen Station. The charcoal made a crisp sound, and red sparks floated upward, and then disappeared.
