After the immortal disappeared

This guy entered Bega two hundred years ago. Bega had already been established for a long time at that time, so he should know something about it. He Lingchuan was not in a hurry and returned to the previous question: "The nightmare energy you mentioned can also be referred to as life, right?"

"Nightmare Qi is Nightmare Qi, and life is life. They overlap but cannot be completely confused." Jing Jing quickly corrected him, "You are a life, and the old man who is the gatekeeper of Zizhuyuan is also a life. There is no difference in essence; but Nightmare Qi is just It’s different. As humans grow from infants to adults, the nightmare energy in their bodies becomes more and more abundant; and from youth to old age, during this process, the nightmare energy gradually dissipates and returns to the world. It’s a cycle that goes back to where it comes from. So the nightmare energy that you and that old janitor have are completely different in terms of quality and quantity!"

He Lingchuan said thoughtfully: "I am a practitioner."

"As a cultivator, it is natural that you possess more and more nightmare energy." Mirror said eloquently, "The immortals in ancient times possessed too much nightmare energy and could not adapt to the world after the disaster, so they disappeared. .”

"So essentially, nightmare energy (nightmare power) is spiritual energy?"

"right!"

Nightmare Qi and Xuan Crystal are all different manifestations of spiritual energy. After all, this thing needs to be replenished with spiritual energy to repair it.

"It's too troublesome. I'd better find a foundry to repair it for you."

"That, that's okay." The mirror reluctantly said, "But at least it must be made of gold."

"……Depend on!"

It turns out that the most basic techniques can fix it!

In fact, this guy just wants to take advantage and get some Xuanjing or precious metals from him, right?

He Lingchuan couldn't help but rub his temples. It is even worse for a family that is not already wealthy to have such a wealthy family.

At this time, Shi, the second head of the Shimen Chamber of Commerce, came over from the mountain to see him. He was overjoyed when he heard that the guards of King Beijia Baoshu had also settled here and even wanted to go with them.

The territory of King Baoshu alone is larger than that of Fu State, and it is also close to Fu State. If the Shimen Chamber of Commerce can connect with the Taifu Mansion, it can expand its business territory a lot in one go. He Lingchuan knew very well what these businessmen were thinking, so he knocked on the door and asked Wu Jinsong and Wu Jinsong to come over for a drink. At the dinner, he introduced Master Shi Er to them.

The four of them talked happily. Wu Jinsong didn't want to spread the news about Mr. Sha's lost soul. He only said that he came to Wuze County for business and met the mirror demon. He Lingchuan recounted what happened last night in a more exaggerated manner, and Master Shi Er was amazed. He never expected that such horror would happen by Mochou Lake while he was sleeping.

Especially Mr. Gan was involved, and Master Shi Er was very happy after hearing that he drank three bowls of wine in a row.

"Zhuzi, retribution is coming!"

While he was drunk, he talked about many past events of the Gan family. To He Lingchuan's expectation, Mr. Gan had done a lot of bad things, but it was actually Mr. Gan who took other people's paths and left others with nowhere to go.

"Boss Gan is dead, and the Gan family will have a good time."

As if to confirm the words of Master Shi Er, by the afternoon of the next day, the news of the change of ownership of the Magic Nest Swamp Pass had spread throughout the county.

He Lingchuan dared to bet ten copper coins. This was the rumor spread by the Shimen Chamber of Commerce. Because the news did not specify who had the pass order, otherwise he would have been uneasy these days.

The creditors who came after hearing the news almost crossed the threshold of the Gan family.

Uncle Gan is dead, and the Gan family has lost the Demon Nest Pass. What future does the Gan Chamber of Commerce have? They have to be ahead of others in collecting debts, otherwise they may lose everything later.

How could the Gan family cope with such a situation? I heard that Mr. Gan couldn't stand the sarcastic remarks from his creditors and started beating people. The policemen came to the door all of a sudden. Fortunately, the county master still showed some favors to Uncle Gan, and the creditor was willing to pay to settle the matter. Mr. Gan had to pay a large sum of money to avoid being detained in the county jail.

The news went viral in the county.

On the third day, Mrs. Mao, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, fell ill, and there were only two old servants around her to serve the soup. The Gan family's servants brought out more rumors and rumors.

At this time, Manager Zhao came to He Lingchuan and asked him if he could accept the Gan family's apology and agreed to hand over the access order to the Gan family after the trip to Lingxu City. Gan's Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate generous funds.

Of course He Lingchuan refused, and smiled at Manager Zhao: "You are not very sincere in your message." He did not say a few nice words.

Manager Zhao was a little embarrassed.

The Shi brothers were also on the side and came to his rescue: "The fall of the Gan family is a foregone conclusion. Manager Zhao knows that Brother He is a discerning person, so why bother to cover it up?"

He Lingchuan knew that Manager Zhao was secretly one of theirs, so he did not pursue and embarrass him. He changed the subject and said, "The Gan family may have a way to survive the current crisis."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Looking for cooperation with you." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "You have a pass, and the Gan Chamber of Commerce has connections and business routes. We hit it off right away. No matter what, we will get through the current crisis of the Gan family first."

Leader Shi Er snorted: "Cooperating with his family? It's a beautiful idea."

Master Shi Da thought for a while and said: "It's not a bad idea."

In business, as long as the Gan family pays for the bloodletting, what can't be discussed?

The Gan family is so fat, who wouldn’t be greedy after seeing it?

It's a pity that the Gan family really didn't think of this method and never came to contact the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.

Another day, several heads and stewards of the Gan Chamber of Commerce suddenly disappeared, and with them disappeared a huge amount of money in their account. Even He Lingchuan was stunned when he heard that figure. He felt that Boss Gan's hard-working family was very rich, and even the cash flow was so abundant.

But when they tried to escape with money, the chamber of commerce was immediately unable to pay wages and payment for goods. People's hearts were already floating, so the people below gave up and rushed to Gan's house to besiege him and beg for it.

Unable to withstand the pressure from his creditors, Mr. Gan agreed to sell off his property and the assets of the Chamber of Commerce to pay off his debts. As soon as he made this decision, Mr. Gan ignored his mother who was ill in bed, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and ran away!

Of course, he also took away many valuable items from his home.

After all, the Gan family still had some wealth at this time. Mr. Gan was not good at business, but he had a good eye for treasures and knew what items in the house were valuable.

It was already the fifth day. The Shimen Chamber of Commerce's caravan set out for Lingxu City in the Bejia Kingdom. Head Shi Er lamented that he could not hear the wonderful follow-up of the Gan family.

He Lingchuan said leisurely: "I bet you that Mr. Gan can't escape. If you don't believe it, you and I will wait a little longer."

"Is it true?" Master Shi Er immediately ordered to postpone the departure time, "Then I'll bet ten taels of silver."

As a result, it was only this afternoon that the latest news came out:

Gan Sanye did not run away.

He was robbed in the woods on the outskirts of the county.

When others found Gan Sanye, he was lying in the mud, groaning, with a big bump on the back of his head. His whole body had been robbed, and even his other leg was broken.

Who are the robbers?

Gan Sanye cried bitterly and said a name:

Luo Xunyi!

He only took his confidant and beloved general Luo Xunyi with him on this trip, and even gave up his personal servant. Unexpectedly, Luo Xunyi rebelled in the woods and attacked him sneakily with a hammer. Gan Sanye's head was knocked unconscious, so Luo Xunyi broke his legs...

Of course Luo Xunyi is no longer in Wuze County, and no one knows where he has gone.

When Master Shi Er heard this, he asked He Lingchuan: "How do you know he must be unlucky?"

"He is still too young. The Gan family is in troubled times and owes a huge foreign debt. How can fewer people keep an eye on him?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "He has no ability to recognize people, and he even sneaked away with a white-eyed wolf. If he’s not a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, who is?”

Master Shi Er's pores were all clear and he laughed loudly: "Good sign, really good sign! This trip to Lingxu City will definitely go smoothly."

Even if he returns to the Gan family, Mr. Gan's fate is a foregone conclusion. His creditors will not let him go, and neither will the folks who have been bullied by him.

Thousands of people beat the broken drum.

Working hard is a skill, being able to maintain success is also a skill, but it is a pity that the Gan family has no talent. What awaits the family is endless sadness and gloom.

Leader Shi Er felt really relieved.

He Lingchuan asked him: "Why do you hate Gan Laosan so much?"

Shi Congshui was stunned, thought for a while and then said: "He is not a treacherous or evil person, he does not deserve these four words, but it is not a pity for someone like Gan Laosan to die."

"The evil of mediocrity?"

"Yes, yes, it is the evil of mediocrity!" Shi Congshan pondered the meaning of these words, "What this kind of person does, one or two crimes may not lead to death, but together they are more disgusting than a murderer. Everyone wants to go up and bite him and step on his feet. Hey, Brother He, you summarized it well."

"You seem to be a majestic man, but I didn't expect..." The soul-capturing mirror also laughed at He Lingchuan and smiled maliciously, "You asked me to terminate the mirror slave contract just because you wanted to see him end up like this, right? ?”

The mirror is lying on his heart, performing its duty: "Isn't it a great feeling to control other people's fate, to see them live, to see them die, to see them worse off than dead?"

More than just fun? He Lingchuan let out a long breath: "Of course."

When he walked out of the boundary of Wuze County, he looked back on his horse.

Those words were actually spoken by him.

If Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu had not come to Heishui City, and if He Chunhua had not left Qiansong County, would he have been another Third Master Gan? It's just that the backing is harder.

But he had long since woken up and knew that everyone would die if he relied on the mountain to fall. In such troubled times, the reliance of a dandy is like a soap bubble, which will burst at any time when the strong wind blows.

Then you just go out and have fun, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

Fortunately he woke up early.

However, although He Lingchuan saw the epitome of his past in Sanye Gan—strictly speaking, it was the epitome of his original self—there were actually clear differences between the two.

Although the original person is also a playboy and has some bad friends, there are no real bad guys around him, and there is no villain like Luo Xunyi who is used to instigating.

Not even a few truly evil deeds were done.

Is it because Young Master He is not worthy?

of course not.

Just because the environment in which he grew up has always been strictly controlled, all bad factors have been screened out.

The space for him to jump is actually very limited.

From this perspective, Wen Daolun's four-character motto of "walk away when encountering water" inspired him is a turning point in fate, and perhaps a new starting point.
