You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

"Okay, we don't collect herbs or do anything extra."

When Wanyu heard what Shi Zelan said, she was immediately delighted and reached out to drag Shi Zelan towards the back mountain.

“Wanyu, there are too many people on the mountain. After we put up the invisibility talisman, we should not get too close to them.”

"it is good."

Wanyu nodded happily. She even reached out and stroked her hair. She said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, our sect's clothes are very beautiful. Why don't you three like to wear them?"

"I love to wear it. We have planned that when we leave this mountain, we will wear our sect's clothes and walk around Yangzhou City in our original appearance."

"Pfft, that's a great plan, I wish I was with you then."

They walked towards the nearby mountain and saw people going up and down the mountain, so they immediately stopped talking.

Shi Zelan and Wan Yu both wanted to avoid people, so they naturally went to the canyon first to take a look at the situation at the bottom of the valley.

They stood on the top of the canyon, looked at the white mist below, and heard voices in the valley below.

"We were really lucky this time. Aside from a few people who broke their legs and two people who sprained their waists, everyone else was fine."

"I heard people say there are gods on this mountain."

"It's possible that the gods and immortals would pass by here, but it's unlikely that they would stay here for a long time."

"The old people in the nearby villages believe that there are gods living in this mountain."

"Alas, this piece of mountain is under the control of the government. It's good that everyone can go up the mountain to pick dead branches and herbs."

Shi Zelan sent a message to Wanyu: "Are you still going to the bottom of the valley?"

“No, it’s too busy.

Let’s go later, where are we going now?”

"Let's go to the gold mine and see what's going on there."

Shi Zelan and Wanyu walked towards the gold mine. There were too many people on the mountain road, so they could only walk on the branches.

They went to the gold mine and found that there were even more people there, but they were digging new tunnels.

Shi Zelan looked at it for a while, then sent a message to Wanyu: "Let's go."

"No, wait a moment."

Shi Zelan had already turned around. After hearing Wanyu's words, she hesitated and asked, "What did you see that was wrong?"

"Sister Lan, there are so many handsome young men, why don't you stay and admire them carefully?"

When Shi Zelan heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "So you appreciate men who work hard."

After a while, Wanyu sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, let's go. I have nothing to say to someone like you who doesn't know how to appreciate a handsome man."

The two of them walked back and saw people still coming up the mountain, so they returned to the top of the mountain even faster.

They returned to the top of the mountain and saw Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu standing at the edge of the mountain, so they walked over.

Shi Xiaoliu turned around and looked at them: "Did you go to the gold mine?"

Shi Zelan nodded: "Yes, there are a lot of people over there, and it seems that they want to clean out the gold mine quickly."

"They were really lucky this time. No one was working in the tunnel at night."

Wanyu casually responded, and then said: "Too many people have come. If more people come, I'm afraid that mountain will be full."

"They are here to replace the guards. They should be in the process of handover in the next one or two days."

Xia Yu responded to Wan Yu's words while looking at the people on the nearby mountain.

Shi Zelan looked at Wanyu and whispered, "Wanyu, those people just now were soldiers who were going to withdraw."

Wanyu looked at Shi Zelan and snorted, "The new one must be more handsome." Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances, and said to Shi Zelan and Wanyu, "We are going out for a while, and we are going to pick some leaves from the distant mountains."

After Shi Zelan nodded, she looked at Wanyu and said to her, "If you want to go, you can go with them."

Wanyu shook her head: "No, there must be someone here, I will stay to accompany you."

After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu left, Shi Zelan returned to the top of the mountain to continue drawing talismans, while Wanyu returned to her room.

It was very quiet on the top of the mountain, but very noisy at the foot of the mountain.

Some people went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, but were temporarily stopped by the soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Some people from the nearby village brought alchemists to check the feng shui.

When the people who were collecting herbs heard that something had happened on the mountain, they immediately turned back according to the advice of the officers and soldiers.

However, the group of people who brought the alchemist with them told the officers and soldiers that they would just wander around the foot of the mountain for a while and would definitely not go up the mountain.

When Shi Zelan stopped, she just heard the hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain. She walked to the side of the mountain to see the hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the Taoist priest was getting anxious and said to the group of people who invited him, "Now you have encountered people who are blocking you. Today is already a bad start. Why not try again another day?"

"We can come back another day. The elderly at home can't wait too long."

"As you have just heard, this piece of forest belongs to the government.

The feng shui here is good, and the feng shui of the government is also good.

Let's go. The people should not fight against the officials, especially when you are being so unreasonable.

I can't make this trip in vain, so you should pay for my travel expenses."

"Why tie a knot? You haven't considered Feng Shui yet."

"If you don't want to settle the travel expenses, that's fine, but if your family has any problems, don't come to me for help."

"Sir, he is young and ignorant, please don't mind it."

The young man was pushed by his family elders to admit his mistake to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest felt relieved and accepted the travel expenses.

He kindly advised: "You should go back too, this place has nothing to do with your family."

After the alchemist finished speaking, he left. The people who stayed behind, looking at the soldiers who would not let them go up the mountain, could only leave in shame.

On the mountain, Shi Zelan saw them walking out mumbling, complaining, "We came here for nothing, and even paid for other people's travel expenses."

"I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming."

"Is it any use for you to say this now?"

"It's useless. I won't follow you guys next time."

"Uncle, I have to go to the city to find a job in the next few days, and I don't have time to run around with you."

"Uncle, I have a lot of things to do at home. Once you have made a decision, please let someone know."

"Okay, okay, okay, in the end, it's all my business. Remember, you are all filial sons and grandsons."

Before they even reached the official road, their feelings had already fallen apart.

"Uncle, we know you are filial, but if your family is living comfortably, you should also make sure our family can live well."

"Yes, uncle, if we don't go to work, life at home will be difficult."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go back and talk to the elders at home and ask them if they agree with your opinion."

"Just tell me what you mean. Doesn't my grandfather know about his own family's affairs?"

"Then I will go talk to the clan leader. What arrangements will he make?"

Everyone fell silent, and the younger generations looked at each other, still unwilling to bow their heads. (End of this chapter)
