This immortal is a bit fierce

The old man smiled and said, "I can't say, but you can guess."

Huang Feng actually had a guess in his heart. This old man was neither a human nor a ghost, nor a monster, so what could he be: "Senior, could it be the land of this place?"

The old man smiled but said nothing, which made Huang Feng very angry. He guessed but didn't tell the answer. Isn't this torture?

"Forget it if you can't say it." Huang Feng knew that he couldn't force it, so he asked, "Since the senior took the initiative to show up, you should know why I came?"

The old man knocked the ground with his cane without saying a word, and a book of accounts appeared on the ground in an instant.

It's not that he didn't want to take it in his hand, but the book of accounts was almost as tall as him.

"Really." Huang Feng didn't rush to take it. There are not many pie-in-the-sky things in the world. "Since the senior knows why I came and took the initiative to show up, what do I need to pay?"

The old man smiled and nodded, looking like a teachable child: "Mr. Xu, please promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Huang Feng asked.

Unexpectedly, the old man still shook his head: "I can't say now."

"Then I refuse." Huang Feng said decisively, "If you agree to such unclear conditions, you will suffer losses in the future."

Unexpectedly, the old man thought about it, said "Forget it", and picked up the account book on the ground with his cane.

Huang Feng hurriedly said: "You are not going to force a sale, I didn't agree to you."

The old man smiled and said: "Young master, what you said makes sense. My conditions are too vague. It is understandable that you don't agree."

"So reasonable?" Huang Feng didn't believe it.

"I just hope that when we meet in the future, you can remember the old man's favor?"

"Of course." Huang Feng replied.

The old man nodded with relief.

"Senior, is this really what the ancestors of the Wu family left for you?" Huang Feng couldn't help but be curious, "Also, what's the legend of the Wishing Temple?" The old man smiled and said, "There is no Wishing Temple. I sleep all year round. I can wake up for half a month every thirty years. I wander in the mountains and help people in need as much as I can. But it's different from meeting the young master today. When I meet these mortals, I hide in the temple. Most people in desperate situations will not make unreasonable requests. I have never fully fulfilled the requests of these people. I don't know how it has become what it is now. Let's talk about this account book. That year, that person asked me to hide the account book. If the Wu family is safe, this account book will be kept forever. If there is One day when the Wu family is extinct, take out this account book.

I woke up ten days ago, and happened to hear the news that the last branch of the Wu family had died. Then I remembered the account book and was thinking about who to give it to.

If the young master was later, the account book might appear in the Shulu City Guard House, and the young master would not be able to see me. ”

Huang Feng was stunned: "You mean, whether I come or not, the account book will be found? I thought I was destined to be here!" The old man smiled and emphasized again: "Don't doubt it, the young master is indeed a man with great luck."

"I reluctantly believe you." Huang Feng was in a good mood after getting the account book. He felt that not every legend was reliable, but the current situation made him more curious than the legend.

When he woke up, he knew that Doctor Wu was dead and could send the account book to the City Guard House silently. He also knew that he asked about the past legends in Shulu and wanted the account book.

Could it be that the old man in front of him was really the local god?

But he had never seen a real god in all these years, nor had he heard Xu Jingshan talk about it.

As if sensing his curiosity, the old man said, "Young Master, don't worry. You will know some things naturally in the future."

"Okay." Huang Feng held the account book in his hand and looked at the old man on the ground. "I heard that you can only wake up and relax for half a month after thirty years. I wanted to walk and chat with you, but when I thought that you didn't say anything, I'd better go."

The old man smiled and nodded: "I won't see you off."

"Junior, goodbye." Huang Feng left respectfully.

After Huang Feng left, the old man leaned on his crutches, looked up at the sky, said nothing, and slowly sank into the ground.

...

"Got it." Huang Feng returned to Shulu and reunited with Li Motang.

"Really got it?" Li Motang never thought that it would be so easy. "Is there really a wishing temple? What price did you pay?"

Huang Feng sighed and said, "Of course I have to pay a price. In order to get this account book, I will be in trouble in the future, and many women will pester me... Hey, where are you going with the account book?"

"Go back." Li Motang pretended to go out.

"Don't go, you won't find it." Huang Feng approached, but Li Motang suddenly turned around and kicked him.

Huang Feng dodged quickly: "What are you doing?"

"Make it up, keep making it up." Li Motang knew he was talking nonsense, how could he really believe it, "Tell me, what's going on."

Huang Feng didn't hide it anymore, and told the story of meeting the old man, and didn't forget to complain: "This old man's mouth is like a dumb gourd, he is very tight, and you can't ask anything."

Li Motang was also a little surprised after hearing it: "Do you think he is the land?"

"What do you think, have you seen the real mountain god and river god?" Huang Feng asked.

"I don't know, except for legends, there is no such record in the history of Daxia." Li Motang was also confused.

"Forget it, don't think about it for now, take a look at this account book to see if there is anything you need."

"Yeah."

Li Motang opened the account book, which was very thick and recorded more details than she imagined.

"It's this book. It records that the medicinal materials shipped to Dongshi Town were all taken from the Wu Family Pharmacy. The military pay was based on the normal medicinal material prices. However, the medicinal materials shipped to Dongshi Town were all inferior quality. Not only that, some of them were The military salary was directly embezzled, and even the inferior medicinal materials were not available.”

The more Li Motang watched, the angrier he became. Although it seemed that the Wu family was the culprit, in fact the Wu family was just a tool.

If you want to embezzle so much military salary, there must be people from the other side in every link. What a terrible thing.

Moreover, the military salary sent to Dongshi Town alone has been embezzled for ten years.

The more Li Motang looked at it, the angrier he became: "I must let my father see it in person."

"Don't worry, is there anyone written on it?"

"I'll look at it again."

Li Motang continued to look through the account books. There were accounts in front of them, which recorded the names of the officials in charge of the connection at that time, but did not indicate who was behind the scenes.

Li Motang flipped through page after page until she finally saw something different from the accounts. One of the names made her stunned for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Huang Feng asked curiously, approaching, but was stopped by Li Motang.

Li Motang closed the account book: "Let me think about it first."

Huang Feng noticed that the matter seemed to be more serious than he expected. He didn't think that she was hiding something from him, so he nodded: "Think about it slowly."

Li Motang thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Have you heard about what happened in the Great Xia Pass?"

Huang Feng recalled carefully and asked, "Are you talking about that fire? I remember there were rumors that a prince was burned to death?"
