Chapter 1660 Good Luck
Zhang Xuezhou had a certain degree of trust in Gongsun Hong, but he did not trust him to the point of entrusting his life to him.

Going to sea is not a matter of three or two days, it may take as long as ten days, half a month or even several months.

Zhang Xuezhou can currently play in inland rivers, but he still feels some pressure facing the sea.

If it weren't for the luck advantage of the water home ground, Gongsun Hong's suggestion would have been rejected by him.

"I do have some clues about the Mohist Mechanical City. There are three pots overseas, which are three mountains in the sea. The first is Fanghu, which is Fangzhang, the second is Penghu, which is Penglai, and the third is Yinghu, which is Yingzhou." Gongsun Hong said: "This Mohist Mechanical City is pursuing these three mountains!"

"Why are these three mountains named after pots?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"A mountain is a mountain, and a pot is a pot. If there is a pot in the mountain and a mountain in the pot, then that is another world." Gongsun Hong said: "These three pots should be extremely rare secret places!"

"Doesn't that mean these three secret places all have owners?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"What a coincidence! These three secret places have no owners. Only people who happen to be lucky can enter them!"

"How did you know it had no owner?"

"In fact, it's not just the Mohists and us who are searching. Many immortals, gods, demons and ghosts in the four continents and three realms have also searched for these three pots. If these three places have owners, there wouldn't be so many people searching!"

"Why are people chasing these three places?"

"Each of the blessed places has its own destination. Only these three are left unoccupied. It's not that people lack these three secret places, but the secret places are hidden. There may be extremely primitive innate things hidden in them. You have to know that more than a thousand years ago, even if a primary Qi Refiner was obsessed with innate treasures, he could beat the current True Self Realm cultivators to kneel down and call him grandpa..."

Gongsun Hong still had some minor delusions.

Whether it is the Mo family mechanical city or the Sanhu Mountain overseas, it is possible to obtain powerful weapons and treasures.

Confucianism is inclusive, and Gongsun Hong is not averse to using treasures, even if they are just leftovers from Mohism.

If there is some treasure that can enable him to possess top-level strength, it would be no problem for Gongsun Hong to give up the supreme concepts of cultivation such as the state of ego and the state of true self.

In the previous moment, he could practice diligently, trying to improve every bit of his cultivation. In the next moment after obtaining the treasure, Gongsun Hong could also be a free and easy person and never practice again.

For Gongsun Hong, his transformation could be so great.

Talking about some things about cultivators in ancient times, Gongsun Hong even felt a little jealous. He wished he could go back hundreds or thousands of years ago, and then change his life with the help of an innate magic weapon, and leave a great name in history.

“It’s such a pity that so many treasures are gone!”

Zhang Xuezhou echoed repeatedly.

Not only had he heard of Gongsun Hong's words, he even knew more about the competition between the cultivators who controlled the innate magic weapons and the cultivators who cultivated themselves.

For Zhang Xuezhou, some of the things Gongsun Hong said were just heard again.

Not all innate treasures are good to use. For example, the purple gold medicine gourd used by Zhang Xuezhou and others may be an innate treasure, but they are also very likely to have been cheated by this treasure.

Zhang Xuezhou also had a water gourd hanging around his waist, but he had never drunk the water in the gourd.

And there is a high probability that Brahma of the Western religion obtained an innate treasure that could release poison, and he became a superior person from then on.

These innate treasures are both good and bad, some are useful and some are scams.

In comparison, Zhang Xuezhou would rather use some acquired treasures.

He and Gongsun Hong chatted and laughed, and did not feel lonely on the journey.

After staying in Liangyuan for one night, they rode through Zhao and Qi.

Zichuan State belonged to Qi. After returning to Qi, Gongsun Hong did not go back to his hometown directly, but sent Zhang Xuezhou to Li Shaojun's Taiqing Temple. "Look there!"

Gongsun Hong pointed to a small Taoist temple.

This Taoist temple is not located in the city, but is built at the foot of a small hill outside the city. The location is remote and the road is difficult to access. There is no carriage or horse carriage, so pedestrians can only walk there from several miles away.

But there was a constant stream of people going to the Taoist temple. Even though it was almost sunset, there were still people queuing outside the temple to burn incense and pray to the gods.

It is not difficult to build a Taoist temple, as long as you get the approval document, but the built Taoist temple needs people to worship in order to gain money, and it is difficult to get people to worship.

Gongsun Hong was very envious of Li Shaojun's Taoist temple. He even imitated it and built a Confucian ancestral hall. However, compared with Li Shaojun's Taoist temple, his ancestral hall did not end up so well. To this day, he has not even recovered his investment.

"Li Shaojun's Taoist temple is not very big," Zhang Xuezhou said, "There are only three rooms. It is much smaller than I imagined."

"It doesn't matter how small the view is, if it's smart, it's rich!"

When the reply came, Zhang Xuezhou was about to nod to indicate that what was said made sense, but he quickly came to his senses and realized that it was not Gongsun Hong who was speaking.

When Zhang Xuezhou turned his head, he saw a pilgrim who was going to the Taoist temple to worship winking at him.

"You're actually acting as a shill for your own Taoist temple?"

Even if Li Shaojun changed his appearance and put on a golden gown, Zhang Xuezhou could still recognize him, not to mention that this guy actually spoke back.

Looking at the tribute in Li Shaojun's hand, Zhang Xuezhou almost wanted to spit.

He had seen various new stores paying money to arrange for helpers to line up to create a good atmosphere, but he had never seen a Taoist temple do this.

Li Shaojun's ideas on running his own Taoist temple were obviously very advanced. Zhang Xuezhou had seen shills in the real-world business world, and Wang Li had often been on Feiyu's live broadcasts to create atmosphere, but he had never seen a shill here.

He smiled at Li Shaojun very politely and followed him.

"Let's go and burn some incense together!" Zhang Xuezhou said to Gongsun Hong with a smile.

"I don't believe in Taoism. I only worship Confucius and Mencius. There is no way I can do this," Gongsun Hong shook his head repeatedly.

"Then I'll go to the Taoist temple," Zhang Xuezhou said, "and then I'll go back to Anqiu County later!"

"please!"

Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to say goodbye to Gongsun Hong, but Li Shaojun was actually outside his own Taoist temple, which made Zhang Xuezhou's tasks go too smoothly.

There is nothing to say if things go well, his business has been done.

By the time he went to Taiqing Temple and made an appointment to meet Li Shaojun in Chang'an City, he lured Li Shaojun to go to the court to gain some advantages. The matter was basically settled, and Zhang Xuezhou didn't have to run around for it.

This time, he reached an agreement with Yao Yuanguang in Liangyuan, Suiyang City, and met Li Shaojun directly when he first entered the Taoist temple outside Anqiu County. His luck was so good that even Zhang Xuezhou was a little surprised.

Zhang Xuezhou always felt something was wrong. After all, he had good luck in water areas. It was impossible for him to have good luck in non-water areas like Liangyuan and Taiqing Temple.

This official trip couldn't be simpler.

The first time was just a coincidence, the second time made Zhang Xuezhou realize that something was fishy.

"Could it be that Master Dong is already practicing fortune-telling in Jiangdu, and I have gained some of his luck?"

If he had to find a reason, Zhang Xuezhou could only think of the fact that Dong Zhongshu, who was on good terms with him, was very skilled in martial arts, and his level had even improved to the point where it affected him.
