After dressing up as cannon fodder, I beat everyone in the house until they cried.

Chapter 81 The ghost cultivator’s plan

Li Pu has been fooled by Ling Miao's tricks.

Now all he could think about was how to express himself well and make up for the mistake of testing Grandma Tong just now. He stood up eagerly.

"I'll lead the way for Grandma Tong!"

However, as soon as the two walked out of the lobby, someone came to report in a hurry.

"Manager Li! Those people from the government are here again!"

Just as he was talking, Ling Miao saw two people dressed as officials walking towards them, following a ghost cultivator.

Li Pu stopped. Naturally, Ling Miao and his party couldn't force themselves to follow the two people escorting Bai Chuluo to see the other direct disciples, otherwise it would be too deliberate.

When Ling Miao saw this, she could only say 'tsk' secretly in her heart and stayed where she was.

Li Pu didn't look good, "I made Grandma Tong laugh. These damn officers and soldiers have been coming more and more frequently recently."

Although Ling Miao was dissatisfied, she could only pretend not to care and waved her hand slightly.

The two official officers came to several people and bowed their hands to Li Pu, "Manager Li."

Li Pu put a smile on his face again, obviously very comfortable in dealing with outsiders.

"I wonder what the two businessmen are doing here?"

"Hey! What else could it be for! Just for those stupid things!"

One of the officials looked impatient.

"A mother-in-law named Xu came to the government to complain, saying that you lied to her son and said that her son has immortal roots. If his son donates all his belongings to you, you will take him to the immortal path."

Someone from the Black Crow Cult chuckled lightly.

Li Pu also looked helpless.

"Master Gongshi, don't you think it's ridiculous after listening to this? I have a big business here, why would I want to steal the property of an unrelated person? And no fool would take it seriously if I ask for all the property of someone else as soon as I open my mouth, right?"

"Besides, who dares to joke about immortality? This one may be punished by God! There have been more and more false accusations like this recently. I'm wondering if someone is targeting us."

"We have always done our duty and don't talk about it. The annual taxes and money are only a lot more. Lord Tolerance knows that."

As Li Pu spoke, he took out two bags of money from his sleeves and stuffed them into the hands of the two officials.

"Although it was something out of nowhere, I still bothered the two businessmen to make this trip. It really caused trouble for you. With this little money, Li will treat the businessmen to tea."

One of the officials weighed the money bag in his hand and his expression softened a lot.

"We just asked around, but no one has seen Granny Xu's son."

"I originally wanted to search your house as a routine, but I have searched many times before with no results, so let's forget it this time."

"Manager Lao Li also found time to summon people in the mansion to ask if anyone had been in contact with a person named Wang Erniu."

"Yes, yes, Li will definitely comply."

Li Pu accompanied the two officials to the door with a smile.

One of the officers looked up at the plaque. "In the final analysis, there is still a problem with your name here. No wonder people think of you when something goes wrong."

Li Pu looked troubled, "This..."

The official waved his hand impatiently, "Come on, there's no need to show off the same tricks as our ancestors every time."

After the two officials left, Li Pu looked at Ling Miao again.

"It made Grandma Tong laugh. Originally, the plan went smoothly and no one noticed it. But recently, many immortal masters mentioned us when they came to investigate, which made the people in the town suspicious."

Ling Miao snorted, "Then just calm down a bit in the near future. During my stay, I don't want to see these guys come to my door again."

"Yes."

Ling Miao looked up at the big plaque under the eaves and repeated Li Pu's words calmly.

"Listen to what these officials mean, how many times have they searched the house before? Didn't they find the monk we arrested?"

Li Pu quickly said, "Of course not!"

"Each monk has been assigned a local person to look after him. Thanks to the treasures that Grandma Tong asked his attendant to bring down, we can control those monks so easily, especially those who claim to be direct disciples. Even if they cannot use spiritual energy, But it still took a lot of effort to catch it.”

When Ling Miao heard that there was a treasure to assist these ghost cultivators, she was secretly shocked. She was glad that she had not acted rashly before. She still had to find out what kind of treasure it was before she could save people.

"Well, the things are pretty easy to use."

Li Pu was a little excited.

"Of course, it's really amazing. As expected of the world of cultivation, there are so many good things! It can actually transfer a person's soul into an object, and then use the puppet technique to preserve the person's body. I was also shocked the first time I used it It’s a jump!”

"Thanks to Grandma Tong's advice, we used the treasure to transfer the souls of the local people into special ropes, and used those ropes to tie up the monks. If those monks dared to resist and attack the ropes, it would be equivalent to attacking ordinary people. Being backlashed by the Jade Card, this is simply a huge loophole, hahahahahaha!"

Li Pu laughed, and Ling Miao also raised his head and laughed, but was secretly frightened in his heart.

She originally thought that she could save people by just beating away the locals who were guarding her, but now it seems that the situation is more complicated.

Duan Yunzhou and the other three were also secretly shocked that they were actually allowed to find out the reason for the missing persons.

And now it seems that it is not just a matter of missing people. There are probably many direct descendants and disciples of other sects imprisoned in this mansion.

Ling Miao stopped after laughing for a while and looked at Li Pu with interest.

"So, are those local people really willing to be transformed by us? I thought you would pay them at first, but now it seems that they have to pay you a lot in return."

Seeing that his opportunity to show off had come, Li Pu excitedly began to tell Ling Miao his strategy.

"Grandma Tong, you are far away in the world of cultivation and don't know something. People's greed is the best to take advantage of."

"I asked people to tell them that if they donated money, they could be led to the path of immortality. Many idiots actually believed it. They just gave away money and really prepared to become immortal masters. They didn't care what kind of person they were."

"I used that treasure to transfer their souls and lied to them that this was a ritual to enter the immortal world. They still felt happy. Little did they know that they had long since become bed bugs in the rope, but they were using puppet threads to unconsciously control themselves. It’s just physical activity.”

"Even if a small number of people gradually realize that something is wrong, they have no way of turning back and simply pretend they don't know anything."

"But most of the locals who were deceived are stupid. They have no senses and think that they have entered the immortal world. In fact, they have just become our food reserves. Haha, it is so funny!"
