The God and Buddha are actually me

At night, Cui Mansion.

The eldest son of the Cui family wore mourning clothes, with a smile on his face.

His father had been buried, his younger brother was sentenced to death and would be executed soon, so the Cui family's property would naturally belong to him.

In the chaos, he became the biggest beneficiary.

According to the rules, when parents die, a son should observe mourning for three years. During this period, he cannot sing or dance, marry a wife or concubine, or have sex. He must live in a shed next to his parents' tomb, and cannot eat meat or drink for fourteen days.

But the eldest son of Cui sneaked back to Cui Mansion at night, threw away his mourning clothes, ordered people to send him big fish and meat, and began to feast.

He had been eating vegetarian food for the past few days, and his mouth was almost dry.

Just as he was drinking happily, the candle in the house was suddenly blown out by a gust of cold wind, and it fell into darkness.

Wow~

The window was blown open by the wind, and under the bright moonlight, a figure stood by the window, tall and handsome, with a pair of clear and bright eyes that were particularly memorable.

"Zhang, Taoist Master Zhang?"

Young Master Cui smiled and put down the wine and meat in his hand awkwardly.

Zhang Jiuyang sighed softly and said, "Young Master Cui, I'm here to get something your father promised, a 300-year-old ginseng."

Young Master Cui was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes turned and he smiled and said, "Taoist Master Zhang, you helped my father clear his name, I am naturally grateful, and I am willing to offer a hundred taels of gold to show my gratitude, but what... 300-year-old ginseng, I really don't know!"

Qingzhou Chief Clerk Lu Dongli likes to practice Taoism and has hinted to him many times that he wants this 300-year-old ginseng. He couldn't make the decision before, but now he is in charge of all the industries of the Cui Mansion, so he naturally wants to curry favor with this patron.

He is ambitious and thinks he can lead the Cui family to a higher level and do things that the old man can't do.

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and sighed softly, greed together, disaster is the first.

A sharpened chopstick was pressed against the throat of Mr. Cui. What was even more bizarre was that the chopstick was floating in the air.

A Li's crisp voice sounded.

"Uncle, you are not honest."

Gudong!

Mr. Cui swallowed his saliva and sweated profusely.

Zhang Jiuyang stared at him and suddenly said, "Mr. Cui, even if I didn't show up today, you would have arranged someone to block the coffin."

Mr. Cui was stunned and his eyes were a little evasive.

"I don't quite understand what the Taoist priest is talking about."

Zhang Jiuyang ignored him and continued, "In fact, you already knew that Old Master Cui was killed by the Second Young Master and Yuqin, but you just watched and waited for the best opportunity to make a move."

Mr. Cui wanted to quibble, but heard a sentence that made him shudder.

"Why was Yuqin married to Old Master Cui when she was clearly in love with the second son first? You must have contributed to this."

He looked pale, and sighed for a long time.

"As expected of Zhang Banxian, you can even predict such secret things. But in front of others, even if you kill me, I will not admit it."

This is a move he is proud of. His father originally favored the younger son, but he only used a woman to make them turn against each other.

And by letting his father marry such a beauty, he can take over the Cui family faster when his father is exhausted, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Master Zhang, wait a moment, I will get you the 300-year-old ginseng."

This time, the eldest son of Cui did not play tricks again. He honestly went to the warehouse to get the ginseng. Although he could not see it, he could feel that there seemed to be a cold breath around him.

Zhang Jiuyang took the sandalwood box from his hand and opened it. Inside was a ginseng with intertwined ginseng roots and a slender and graceful body. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but its shape is vaguely like a human figure.

According to legend, ginseng absorbs the essence of heaven and earth. After 500 years, it can become a ginseng king. After 1,000 years, it will become a spirit, cultivate into a human form, and have the ability to escape underground.

Judging from this 300-year-old precious ginseng, this rumor does not seem to be groundless.

As soon as the box was opened, a strong medicinal fragrance came to the face, mixed with a kind of mountain and land fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

"Master Zhang, you have received the precious ginseng, please don’t say anything after you leave."

After a pause, he said, "I have some friendship with Lord Lu Dongli, the chief of Qingzhou."

There was a warning in his words.

As the eldest son of the Cui family, he actually knew that there was an institution in the court called the Imperial Observatory, which had a certain degree of deterrence on those strange people in the world.

Zhang Jiuyang laughed loudly upon hearing this, and said, "Mr. Cui, your father asked me to tell his fortune a few days ago, and asked me which son the Cui family's property should be passed on to."

Mr. Cui smiled bitterly and said, "I know about this matter. The Taoist priest should have said good things for my brother. After all, my father chose him after he came back."

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and smiled, and said something that made him puzzled.

"I told him that neither son is suitable."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhang Jiuyang left with a wave of his sleeves, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Mr. Cui fell weakly on the chair, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

...

Zhang Jiuyang left the Cui Mansion and looked back at this spacious and magnificent mansion, as if he had seen the defeat of the Cui Mansion a few months later.

Mr. Cui was very ambitious and wanted to lead the Cui family to become bigger and stronger, but he stood on the wrong side.

In the disputes between the government and the opposition, if you stand on the wrong side, you will be eliminated. With the downfall of Qingzhou Chief Clerk Lu Dongli not long after, the Cui family, which seemed to be a behemoth, was nothing more than cannon fodder that was affected.

It's a pity that Mr. Cui spent his whole life to build such a big business, but it was lost in an instant.

This is why Zhang Jiuyang told Mr. Cui before that neither of his two sons could do it.

"Everyone knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget fame and honor!

Where are the generals and ministers of the past and present? The desolate tombs are covered with grass.

Everyone knows that immortals are good, but they can't forget gold and silver!

All day long, I only regret that I can't gather much, and when I close my eyes for a long time."

He recited this "Hao Le Ge" softly, and suddenly there were many inexplicable feelings in his heart, as if he saw the emperors and generals turned into bones, and the wealth of all the wealth turned into nothing.

Winter goes and spring comes, cold and hot never stop.

Only the bright moon above my head, year after year, is always bright with the world.

"Brother Jiu, don't worry."

Ali seemed to sense the change in his mood, holding his hand, looking up and saying: "Ali has died once, she won't die again."

"Ali will always be with you."

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, touched her head, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the clear and crisp voice again.

"Brother Jiu, why don't you die early, so you won't get old~"

Pah!

Zhang Jiuyang couldn't laugh anymore and hit her hard.

"Pah, pah, pah, children's words are innocent, Sanguang is above, don't be so savvy with children."

Ali made a face, then dived into the Yin puppet, mumbling.

"Ali is not a child."

"Ali is eight years old~"

...
