Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 320
The autumn wind is refreshing, and it is another autumn.

When he got up early to practice swords, he accidentally destroyed the seventh wooden sword, Ding Dang, and Ding Zhenyuan finally went out to find a business for money.

In the streets and alleys, there are people who open their doors to do business, garment shops, tailor shops, teahouses, restaurants, inns, cooking cakes, jewelry, pawns, banks, carriage dealers...

In the morning, he wandered around the streets, visited almost every store, and had a general store map in his heart.

"These jobs look pretty good, but it's a pity that the money is too slow, and the practice needs gold and silver to fill it in, otherwise we have to suffer..."

Thinking of himself and his sister's gray hair, Ding Dang shuddered, shook his head, and strode forward.

It wasn't until he was sitting in a tea house facing the street that the bad thought was still lingering in front of his eyes, lingering.

He sat down on a seat next to the door, ordered a pot of herbal tea, and muttered to himself while drinking:

"What can you do to make a steady profit without losing money?"

Hearing this, the old man sitting next to him grinned his gold teeth and answered with a smile:

"How can there be so many good things in the world, and you can still make money without losing money?
"If there is one thing to say, it is of course to be an official, and it is best to be a high official! As the saying goes, after three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Isn't this a profiteering business that is sure to make a profit!"

Ding Dang's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved, but he still drank a large bowl of herbal tea slowly, leaving a few copper coins on the table, and then he paid the bill and left.

"I want to be an official!"

……

Under the night, the magistrate's back office.

In the study, the magistrate was dressed in ordinary clothes, dressed like a rich man, sitting at the side of the table, with an agate bracelet in his hand.

Opposite him sat a blind old Taoist, dressed in shabby tattered Taoist robes, with a bun on his head casually, using a branch with the bark peeled off as a hairpin.

But the magistrate dare not underestimate him. According to rumors, this blind man has opened his yin and yang eyes, and can see things that ordinary people can't see. , is a well-known fortune teller in the nearby Baili.

"Master, how do you see my official luck? Is there any chance for promotion? I have been in the upper middle of the evaluation for the past two years. My cousin also said that he would work for me. I heard that a senior official in the state will retire tomorrow. , there is a vacancy."

The magistrate looked at the blind old man expectantly, and without waiting for him to ask, he confided in himself first.

"Master, look at this matter, can it be done?"

There was no sound in the study room, only the sound of the blind old man's knuckles tapping on the desk case, not in a hurry, again and again, as if tapping on the prefect's heart.

He didn't dare to rush, but just waited patiently.

If other quacks dared to show off in front of him, he would have been thrown out of the door by his servant.

But this one is different. This one has real skills. If he hadn't taught me six years ago, I wouldn't have climbed up to this position so quickly.

"Well... about this matter, it can't be said that there is no hope, it's just that there is not much hope."

The old blind man said calmly.

"Based on your own structure, it is already the limit to climb to the head of the first mansion. If you want to force yourself to go further, it will be difficult, difficult!"

Then, he changed his voice and said;
"unless--"

A well-maintained right hand spread out, with five fingers stretched out, shaking.

The magistrate kindly handed over a stack of bills, all of which were bearer bank notes of one hundred taels, cashed upon sight, and the amount was probably no less than a thousand taels.

This is the rule to seek advice from this master. The price is clearly marked, and the key point is to charge.

After receiving the money, the old blind man obviously became more enthusiastic, nodded, and put the bank note in his arms without counting it.

"Actually, if you want to go further, the best way is to pay homage to the senior officials of the court, cast invitations, and walk around more. The prefect of the fifth rank is not small in terms of place, but it is inconspicuous in the capital. Of course this You are already doing the first step, but you didn't find the right way!"

"The master pointed out that this channel is hard to find! I have also practiced many times, but there is no news!"

The magistrate is also full of bitterness, and pours out when he finds someone.

"Let me show you a clear way. It seems that the general's palace is looking for white fox cubs recently. You might as well work hard on this."

The magistrate is overjoyed, who is the great general king?Today's empress's own brother, the king of a different surname who holds military power, is a real power faction who can stand up to the national division in the court.

If you really take this route, not to mention being transferred to the state, even becoming a Beijing official is a piece of cake!

"Thank you, master, for your guidance. It's just that I don't want to bother the two masters. The news about this white fox..."

Before the blind old man could speak, the magistrate directly took out a palm-sized white jade box and handed it over.

"I accidentally got a treasured Water Soul Elite, I hope Master likes it."

The old blind man was overjoyed, and groped to open the box.

An irregular aqua blue quartz lies quietly in a white jade box.

"That's right, it's the Shui Po elite, you're interested."

The old blind man accepted the generous gift with satisfaction.

"Since the magistrate gave such a generous gift, it's not easy for the old blind man to hide his secrets, but this white fox is not easy to find, and it will take some tricks."

Signaling the magistrate to come over, the old blind man whispered to him about the key.

At the end, he exhorted with concern:

"Master Zhifu, please don't leak the news. If anyone asks, don't reveal that the old blind man came up with my idea, otherwise this matter will not work."

It seemed that he had said too much, the old blind man felt a little regretful, hurriedly collected today's hexagram materials, declined the prefect's invitation, and insisted on leaving.

After the old blind man left, the magistrate sat in the study and thought for a while, then called his confidant servant.

"Go and inquire about this old blind man, and see which side he is from?"

The magistrate's complexion was not very good-looking, and he had some vague guesses about the identity of this blind fortune-teller.

"Don't touch him casually, find out where he lives, where he usually goes, who he has met, preferably in the last month, be careful, and don't leave me behind."

The confidant Ding nodded obediently and asked:
"Sir, do you have any other orders?"

The magistrate thought for a while, and felt that the money should not be spent in vain, so he gave another order:
"Go and find some hunters quietly for me. I want the best kind. My lord, I want them to find a pure white fox."

Then, the magistrate told his confidants what the old blind man had pointed out.

The old blind man said just now that he must act according to what he said in order to achieve his wish.

After repeatedly exhorting him several times, and confirming that his confidants had remembered, the magistrate let him go.
