I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 131 The core industry of Cangshan Laomo

Ever since Cangshan Old Demon went to Baishi City to negotiate with the Demon Suppression Division branch two days ago, under the personal supervision of the city lord Peng Chang and Murong Xinghai, a hundred households in the Demon Suppression Division, the seafood workshop on the outskirts of the city was built at a very fast speed.

Even the workers were personally ordered by Peng Chang and personally recruited by the government officials of the City Lord's Mansion in Bairi City.

Peng Chang originally wanted to directly pay these workers decades of wages, but Cangshan Old Demon did not accept his kindness.

Peng saw that he was resolute, so he didn't insist anymore, but privately asked the government officials to severely warn the workers.

Today is the day when this workshop is officially put into operation. Cangshan Old Devil, who has already received the news, came to this seafood workshop located on the outskirts of Bairi City at dawn and watched it personally.

Watching workers one after another pushing wooden carts filled with water and pushing cart after cart of purchased seafood into the workshop, although Cangshan Old Demon's face was calm, he felt an inexplicable surge of anticipation in his heart.

Right now, his chilling eyes were staring at the seafood swimming in the workshop pond.

There are five large ponds behind the workshop, each of which is four feet deep and covers an area of ​​one acre. The soul gathering array is carved on the bottom of the pond, which can gradually improve the physical condition of the seafood, making it easier for them to survive.

As for the dead seafood, it is frozen in workshops and sold to other towns in the interior.

"Ever since I got this mentally retarded treasure like you, only this information today can satisfy me."

Cangshan Old Demon snorted coldly, full of murderous intent, and waved his sleeves to hide the four consecutive formations.

At the moment, he is not planning to release all the seafood he bought. Since there is a spirit gathering array at the bottom of the pond, there is a high chance that those seafood will give birth to spirits.

The next moment, a message from the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit appeared in my heart.

These seafood are specially transported from other towns by the Peng family's traveling merchants.

"You release a life with a lifespan of five years, the merit will be increased by zero, and the bad karma will be reduced by five!"

"Now, the three formations of killing, illusion, and trapping are controlled by Lao Chan's spiritual consciousness. Even if Da Yu Earthly Immortal comes here, he can trap them for a few breaths. With these few breaths of time, Lao Chan can teleport through the teleportation array. Get here in time!”

Thinking of the six fat pigs that were slaughtered by unknown monks, Cangshan Old Demon took out hundreds of formation flags from his storage ring, and set up a trapping formation and an illusion formation with five ponds as the center. , a killing array, a teleportation array, and hid a ray of his consciousness in the array.

It's just that he looks cold and stern, his eyes are gloomy, and he exudes a frightening aura. Even if he is smiling at the moment, it seems like he is sneering in a low voice.

Amidst the dense messages, Cangshan Old Demon couldn't help but smile on his old face like dry tree bark.

He used his spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings for a week, and when he saw no one around, he took out a bamboo basket from the storage room, personally carried the bamboo basket and fished out a basket of seafood from the pond, flew to the sky above the East China Sea, and took the bamboo basket with him. The basket hung upside down and all the seafood was released into the East China Sea.

"When the time comes...hem!"

He estimated that if he released the animals at that time, his bad karma would be reduced even more.

He seemed to be talking to himself. After saying these words to the golden lotus of twelve grades of merit hidden in his body, he took back the bamboo basket and returned to the seafood workshop.

But he didn't dare ask.

"If you release a life of one year, your merit will increase by zero and your bad karma will decrease by one!"

In order to get attached to this world-famous demon master, Peng Chang even opened a trade route from other inland cities to this seafood workshop in Bairi City, just to transport seafood.

"You release a life with a lifespan of thirty-five years, the merit will be increased by zero, and the bad karma will be reduced by thirty-five!"

"Next, it's Guanhai City and Baiyun City..."

As the sky gradually darkened, the workers in the workshop also went home one after another, leaving only Cangshan Old Demon alone.

Although he didn't know why Cangshan Laomo didn't let the workers fish directly from the East China Sea next to the workshop, but instead bought it from big fishmongers in other inland towns.

Thinking of this, Old Demon Cangshan took out three temporary transmission talismans from the storage ring, rolled them up with his spiritual consciousness and sent them to the Demon Suppression Department of Baishi City. He turned into black light and headed towards Guanhai City.

Since meeting Song Rentu on the street the day before yesterday, he has been away from the city recently. After seeing the city become lively in just two days, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"If this continues, the city will soon return to its former prosperity."

Then he flew directly towards the City Lord's Mansion.

……

In the city lord's palace, Qi Shayu is still busy.

Although the real city lord has arrived, Prince Song has no interest in cleaning up the mess made by the previous city lord.

He only showed his face in front of Qi Shayu, and after telling her to do a good job, he hid in the garden in the backyard.

At this time, Song Rentu was lying on the rocking chair by the pond, with a bored expression on his face, shaking his head and reading the Analects of Confucius.

It only took a few days since Tang Mubai handed over the Analects of Confucius. It has been spread throughout the world under the command of Emperor Yu. The name of this person is now comparable to that of a great Confucian scholar in the hearts of the scholars.

They knew that this was a man named 'Qin Mu' who saw the sages and sages preaching in a dream and transcribed it when he woke up.

But they were unable to know the names of those sages and saints, so they could only pin their admiration on the word "anonymous".

Since the clan asked Song Rentu to cultivate his moral character, even if he yawned repeatedly, he could only suppress his impatience and read on word by word.

"The Master said: The year is cold, and then you know that the pines and cypresses will wither."

"The Master said: The wise do not be confused, the benevolent do not worry, the brave do not fear." At the moment, he had just read two sentences and seemed to feel something. The sleepiness on his face instantly dissipated, and his eyes looked towards the night with light.

Not long after, the Cangshan Old Demon in black robe fell into the garden under his excited gaze.

Song Rentu threw the Analects to the side, and his whole body instantly bounced up, suspended in the air three inches above the ground, and asked with burning eyes: "Have you figured it out? Are you going to fight with me?"

Cangshan Old Demon glanced at his enthusiastic expression and said coldly: "When will you be able to become the master of your ancestors, I will come back to fight with you."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly extinguishing the fire of excitement deep in Song Rentu's heart.

The light in his eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his expression returned to the sleepy look that could not lift his spirits. He asked in a lazy tone: "Since you are not fighting with me, what are you doing?"

Cangshan Old Demon said coldly: "I am here today to discuss a business deal with you."

"Oh?"

Song Rentu, who had just picked up the Analects and was about to lie back in the rocking chair, immediately showed an interested look on his face.

"Haha... You, a big devil, want to discuss business with me?"

"This is really strange. Tell me, what kind of business do you want to discuss?"

Cangshan Old Demon immediately repeated what he said in front of Peng Chang two days ago.

After Song Rentu heard what he said, his face couldn't help but become serious.

He only heard that Cangshan Old Demon wanted to build a seafood workshop outside the city, and he immediately understood what he was thinking.

"It seems that your catastrophe is coming soon. Otherwise, how could you come up with such an idea."

After saying this, he thought for a while and then said: "You and I don't know each other without fighting. Although you can't continue to fight with me now, we are still old acquaintances. This favor is just a trivial thing." Of course I will help with small things."

"But I have to remind you that releasing animals is indeed a way to accumulate good karma, but good karma is difficult to accumulate."

"If you want to gain a lot of merit by releasing animals, you not only need perseverance, but also a huge number of lives."

"Otherwise, all the devil cultivators and those bald donkeys in the world will do this."

"Moreover, merit is merit, and bad karma is bad karma. The Tao will not wash away the evil sins you have committed in the past just because you temporarily release living beings."

After saying this, he smiled and said: "Of course, no one has ever done such a thing, so I don't know if your doing this will reduce the power of the heavenly tribulation."

"The most likely thing is that you have been trying hard for a long time, but you are only getting water from a bamboo basket."

"But as an old acquaintance, I hope you can succeed."

After that, Song Rentu summoned the city map of Guanhai City with a casual move, and used his spiritual consciousness to notify Qi Shayu who was busy in the side hall.

He unfolded the city map in front of Cangshan Old Demon and said: "There are no people in Guanhai City right now. You can go ahead and choose. Even if you want half of the city, I will give it to you!"

Then he smiled and said pointedly: "There are also many demon cultivators in the imperial court, so I will do my best to help you. If you can really reduce the power of the heavenly tribulation by releasing creatures, then you can I have done a great favor to the court!”

After Cangshan Old Demon heard the words that there were many demon cultivators in the court, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that ordinary demon cultivators could gain merit or good karma by freeing living beings, but they had no idea how much bad karma they had and how much good karma they had accumulated.

This makes them timid when doing things and they cannot persist for long at all.

But he is different, because the golden lotus of twelve grades of merit clearly marks his bad karma, and there are also reminders when releasing creatures.

When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Cangshan Old Demon couldn't help but think about it.

"It seems that I will have to contact Song Rentu from time to time in the future. Maybe I can learn from him the time when certain demon cultivators will overcome their tribulations."

"They are all going to turn into ashes in the catastrophe anyway, why not take advantage of the old man and let him leave a whole body for them!"

While he was thinking about this, Qi Shayu also hurried to the back garden.

Tu Dang from the Song Dynasty gave her instructions about the workshop and recruitment of workers, and at this moment the Cangshan Old Demon stretched out his finger and marked a location on the city map.

"This is it."

After Qi Shayu carefully memorized the location, he took the city map and left.

After she left, Song Rentu looked at Cangshan Old Demon with a smile and said: "Although we have known each other for hundreds of years, we have never sat and drank together. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. It just so happens that you are here today." , let’s sit down and talk over drinks.”

Cangshan Old Demon was startled when he heard this, remembering that Song Rentu was a member of the Divine Turtle Clan.

"Perhaps talking about Taoism can really bring some insights to this old man..."

Thinking secretly at this moment, he nodded and agreed.

When Song Rentu saw him nodding, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he immediately invited Cangshan Old Demon to enter the seven-story pavilion behind him.
