After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1248 Secret Stronghold
The gold on the Gold Mountain comes in various shapes and sizes, including yellow croaker, ingots, gold cakes, hairpins, chopsticks, pillows, paperweights, etc., but they are piled up very casually.

Silver Mountain is similar.

He Lingchuan searched around and found all kinds of materials and metals, some of which were extremely precious.

Dong Rui rubbed his hands and asked, "Hey, how much money do you think there is here?"

He no longer knows how to count.

He Lingchuan walked around the secret room and said, "According to preliminary estimates, there must be at least several million taels, right?"

"Several hundred...ten thousand?" Fu Liushan forced the last word out from his throat.

There was no way he could keep calm in the face of such a huge amount of wealth.

After all, not everyone has the chance to come across millions of ownerless treasures!

Seeing his potential, Dong Rui cast him a disdainful look: "How many millions of gold, silver and jewels are there in this secret room?"

"Gold, silver and jewelry are not worth that much, but they are worth it!" He Lingchuan pointed at the materials piled in the corner, "These are much more valuable than gold and silver."

"Whose treasures do these belong to, Immortal Minghui or Ghost King Xuanlu?"

Do immortals accumulate worldly wealth?
The three of them looked at each other and shrugged. No one was an immortal, so they didn't understand the state of mind of an immortal.

Fu Liushan scratched his head: "Then just treat it as the Ghost King's."

Dong Rui didn't understand: "The Ghost King is also a ghost. He can't eat or drink. What does he need these things for?"

"The Howling Forest also deals with ordinary people." The Ghost King Xuanlu is dead, and He Lingchuan can only guess, "What is the best way to deal with ordinary people?"

"money."

"The ghost king wants to achieve his own goals, such as luring believers to serve him, or buying off some small forces and tribes, and the gold and silver will come in handy." He Lingchuan smiled, "There is another explanation. Wang Xuanlu loved money when he was alive, and he kept this habit after his death, even if he collected it for appreciation; or, the money may have other uses, but it is just temporarily deposited in the Howling Forest. After all, no strangers are allowed to approach here."

The last two points are pure nonsense, and even he himself finds them unconvincing.

"Anyway..." he concluded, "what a windfall!"

He just likes tacky things like this.

The three of them sat in this secret room for a while, feeling the glitter of money up close, and Dong Rui murmured:
"This underground palace and everything in it belong to us?"

He Lingchuan smiled, knowing that the "everything" he mentioned was not only gold and silver treasures, but also the remains and materials of gods and demons in the Well of Light and the landfill.

This underground palace is a treasure trove for everyone.

"Yes." He Lingchuan said and glanced at Fu Liushan.

The latter seemed to be staring at the treasure in a daze, but at this moment he shuddered, quickly formed a heart-clearing seal with his hands, and muttered: "Out of sight, out of mind. Oh, out of sight, out of mind!"

He knew clearly that he was not included in this "we".

Treasures can tempt people, but they can also bring about fatal disasters!
Desolate mountains, evil spirits, underground palaces, ghosts, and two practitioners more powerful than him, one of whom even subdued Luo Shengjia. Can these elements added together form the four words "murder to silence the witnesses"?

"Master Fu..."

He Lingchuan just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by him: "I only take my own wages, the rest has nothing to do with me!"

For this expedition into the Howling Forest, he, the ghost catcher, was hired by He Lingchuan, and the commission price had been agreed upon before leaving.

To hire someone to enter such a dangerous place, He Lingchuan's offer was of course very sincere. However, in front of these three huge mountains, any salary is just a drop in the bucket.

But Fu Liushan's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he knew that mountains of gold and silver had nothing to do with him.

Without He Lingchuan, he would never be able to enter the Howling Forest.

Even if he could enter the Howling Forest, he could not kill the Ghost King in the underground palace, let alone take this place for himself.

In such an adventure journey, there are rules for who pays, who does the work, and who takes the treasure.

These three mountains were too shocking, so as soon as he calmed down, he had to get away from the fatal disaster.

Fu Liushan was so sensible, He Lingchuan gave him a thumbs up: "He is a very particular person! I can't let Master Fu suffer any loss. After I go back, I will give you an extra bonus."

Fu Liushan was overjoyed, but at the same time he was secretly relieved: "Mr. He is so generous!"

At this time, there were still many ghosts wandering in the underground palace. After the ghost king was destroyed, they regained their freedom, but they had nowhere to go - there was only a seabed of wood within a radius of dozens of miles for them to live in.

He Lingchuan allowed them to continue living in the underground palace on the condition that they acted as guards of the palace and prohibited outsiders from approaching.

Isn’t it just getting back to their old business? The ghosts agreed readily.

There were still many corpses in the underground palace. Apart from the others, He Lingchuan also went to see the one that the Ghost King had ambushed in Busha Hua Ting. It can only be said that if they really fell into the Ghost King's trap at that time, it would take a lot of effort to get out.

From now on, these are also the guards of their underground palace.

After the matter was settled, the three of them returned to the ground along the same route, walked out of the white jade wall, and left this immortal cave and the ghost king's lair.

The vast amount of wealth in the underground palace is left to be guarded by evil spirits and ghosts.

From now on, this will be the secret base of He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, and they can come and use it at any time. The Yinsha of the Howling Forest is a natural barrier, and other practitioners and forces cannot easily enter.

After returning to Jucheng, He Lingchuan kept his promise and gave Fu Liushan a large bonus.

It was enough for him to spend a long time comfortably.

According to Dong Rui, "At least, you won't need the Five Ghosts Moving Technique or those little acorn men anymore."

Let’s look at the course of the war:
In fact, the war on the front line went more smoothly than people imagined. The Situ coalition forces advanced at lightning speed and not only recovered the entire Gaopu area, but also stepped into the territory of the Pisha people.

The secret delivery of the Yao Kingdom did not work, so the Pisha people sent envoys to ask it for help. The Yao Kingdom had no choice but to put pressure on the Situ Alliance on the one hand, and "recruit" two mercenaries on the other hand to help the Pisha people "co-defend" the central line.

Situ Yu certainly wanted to counterattack the entire territory of the Pisha people to avenge his country and family hatred, but the Yao Kingdom was watching covetously, and other allies in the coalition also expressed their concerns and did not want to offend the Yao Kingdom to death.

So, with the mediation of Yao State, the coalition forces and the Pisha people began negotiations.

After all, the coalition was formed temporarily, and if the war dragged on, internal disharmony was inevitable. Situ Yu saw the delaying tactics of the Yao Kingdom and the Pixia people, so he accepted the advice of his son Situ He and fought while negotiating to promote negotiations.

The Bisha people could not bear the beating any longer and finally showed their sincerity in negotiations.

During this period, He Lingchuan was not idle either. The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce opened its first hall in Jucheng with great success.

All the forces within the coalition sent representatives to offer gifts and congratulations; even the commander-in-chief Situ Yu came back from the front lines in person to support the celebration, which was a great honor.
