Liaozhai Great Sage

"Wait, I made a mistake. You still have a fourth problem, which is to let Li Xiuyuan beat you in chess. Li Xiuyuan won later, but you still refused to give him medicine."

"Even if it's just four small tests, it won't make the old man lose all his merits." Polygonum multiflorum essence argued with a little red face.

The fairy official asked: "If someone in the mortal world deceives others, what crime should be punished?"

"Cheating others is at best a moral indebtedness, which should not be punished," said He Shou Wu Jing.

"What if someone deceives not ordinary people, but court officials?" Xianguan asked.

He Shou Wu Jing said: "This person has committed the crime of deceiving an official and will be punished."

"What if someone deceived the mortal emperor?" The fairy official asked again.

He Shou Wu Jing replied: "If someone deceives the emperor, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor and he will be killed."

"Then what if someone deceives the sage?" The fairy official asked again.

He Shou Wu Jing said: "If someone deceives a sage, although he will not be punished, he will be scolded by the whole world, and he will never be able to hold his head up again."

"So which of the three crimes of deceiving officials, deceiving the emperor, and deceiving sages is the most serious?" said the immortal official.

Polygonum multiflorum thought for a while; "The crime of deceiving officials is the lightest, the crime of deceiving the emperor is the second, and the crime of deceiving sages is the heaviest."

"Why? You will be punished for cheating officials, and you will be punished for cheating the emperor. You will neither be punished nor punished for cheating sages. Instead, you will be charged with the heaviest crime." Xianguan asked with a smile.

"People who are punished by officials will be laughed at for a month at most, and they will be punished by the emperor for more than ten years, but they will be cast aside for a lifetime if they deceive the sages. This is worse than death." Polygonum multiflorum said.

The fairy official smiled and said: "Li Xiuyuan is a saint in the world, shouldn't you suffer this catastrophe if you cheated him? And you cheated him four times in total, the first time, your merit is gone, the second time, you You can no longer become a fairy. The third time, you will be in a catastrophe. As for the fourth time, your killing will come. You are not dead now because you saved Li Xiuyuan's father to offset the killing. You stay The medicine stalk was planted, which offset the catastrophe, but you are still short of one more time."

"If you don't pay back this karma, you will never become a fairy."

"This this……"

Polygonum multiflorum was sweating profusely and trembling all over: "Li, why is Li Xiuyuan a saint in the world? Old man, old man can't become a fairy?"

"The matter is already very clear, Polygonum multiflorum essence, what else do you have to say?" Xianguan said.

Polygonum multiflorum essence hastily shouted: "I don't believe it. The old man has saved the world with the hanging pot for more than ten years, and his merits are immeasurable. Why didn't God bless the old man? Could it be that the merit is fake? Could it be that it was just a deception and it disappeared? Besides, the thief counted What kind of sage can compare with other scholars?"

"Whether Li Xiuyuan is a saint or not is up to us to compare with other scholars. It is because of your merits that Li Xiuyuan completed your first test in half a day. This is a reminder from heaven to let you Give him the medicine, and he will survive this robbery smoothly."

The fairy official said: "I don't know how many spirits I envy for such an easy human robbery. The second test, Li Xiuyuan completed it within half a day. This is God's care for you, a well-behaved spirit. Yang Yang, without karma, is much less than ordinary goblin catastrophe, but you have wasted these two opportunities."

"If you want to become a fairy, you don't have great merit, and you still have to go through catastrophe after all. You wasted two opportunities, so the third time you are already entangled in karma. When you become a fairy, you will die under the thunder disaster in all likelihood. , but you deceived Li Xiuyuan four times, and your retribution can no longer wait until you become an immortal, so you were murdered at that time."

The fairy official said, and then said: "This is God's will, I will not care about your matter, your grievance is not a grievance, it is your catastrophe, if you still want to become a fairy, go to Li Xiuyuan to settle the cause and effect, Then continue to accumulate merit.”

Polygonum multiflorum essence was in a daze at the moment, not knowing what to do.

After half a day, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, let out a long sigh, then cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Lord Xianguan, for reminding me, I know what I'm doing, so I won't disturb Lord Xianguan."

After speaking, he opened his mouth and spit out, a stream of medicinal energy condensed into a pill, which flew towards the immortal official.

"You have a cause and effect with a saint in the world, so I won't charge the lawsuit fee." The immortal official waved his hand and returned the elixir.

Chapter 89 The Fox Blocks the Way

His father's illness was cured and he was still alive and well, but Li Xiuyuan was relieved.

However, he took his guards and returned to the mountain where the Polygonum multiflorum essence was entrenched.

"Young master, look, this rock is indeed a piece of emerald, but it is blocked by the stone skin, so it is no different from ordinary rocks." Tieshan walked over from the side of the cliff carrying a huge black stone.

But he saw that the stone as large as a millstone was covered with a layer of black stone skin, and a crystal green light was vaguely revealed inside.

"It seems that this thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum essence didn't lie to me." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Take it back, and find a jade carving master to make some jade articles in the future."

"Yes, young master." Several guards immediately offered their hands, carried the stone and walked down the mountain.

"Young master, don't you want to take the 1 taels of silver back?" Tieshan asked while looking at a box containing silver money.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he waved his hand and said, "Take it back too, but the money in this box has to be used for charity, not for private use."

"Master, why is this?" Tieshan asked curiously.

"Because this is theoretically not our Li family's money, it is the life-saving money of the Polygonum multiflorum essence." Li Xiuyuan laughed suddenly: "We can't ignore the life-saving money of the Polygonum multiflorum essence, if we use his money to do good deeds, we can kill two birds with one stone. With merit, our Li family has gained a reputation."

Tieshan nodded and responded.

When everyone went down the mountain, they passed halfway up the mountain.

Li Xiuyuan stopped in his footsteps.

He saw that the old woodcutter was still chopping firewood and making alchemy.

The old woodcutter still doesn't know that he has been deceived by the Polygonum multiflorum essence for 30 years, and he has practiced fake pills for 30 years. There is no elixir in the copper furnace.

"If I don't tell him the truth, he's probably going to practice alchemy here until he dies." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Thinking of this, he walked over.

"It's you young man again, I'm not interested in taking care of you anymore, leave quickly, don't disturb my alchemy." said the old woodcutter.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't want to disturb your alchemy, but I just want to remind you that you have been deceived by that so-called god. What you practice in this copper furnace is not an alchemy at all, but an ordinary pebble. Don't talk about alchemy." It has been 30 years, even if it takes 300 years of refining, it is impossible to practice the elixir, so I advise you not to waste this effort, you should give up the plan of refining the elixir as soon as possible, go down the mountain and go home."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The elixir I practiced is fake?" The old woodcutter suddenly became furious: "Get lost, you are so nasty as a young man, you are making me unable to practice the elixir even if you can't succeed in asking for medicine from immortals."

Li Xiuyuan frowned and said nothing.

He felt that this old woodcutter was obsessed too much. He had practiced alchemy for 30 years. Now that he told him that the elixir was fake, he didn't seem to believe it.

"I didn't prevent you from practicing the elixir, I just reminded you." Li Xiuyuan said: "That's all for now, I'm leaving."

He had no intention of continuing to persuade the old woodcutter, but left after telling the truth.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan and the others leaving so readily, the old woodcutter was taken aback.

Then he muttered: "Catastrophe, this person is the catastrophe I encountered in refining the alchemy, he must want to shake my determination to refine alchemy, let me open the alchemy furnace and have a look."

"But the old god said that the alchemy furnace cannot be opened. Once you open the elixir, you will not be able to practice it, and you will fail. You must practice a full Jiazi. I remember it clearly. Well, I can't be fooled by his few words. I have to strengthen my determination to make alchemy, there are still 30 years, and I will be able to become a fairy in 30 years."

After muttering a few words, he continued chopping wood to make alchemy, ensuring that the fire would not go out.

After Li Xiuyuan went down the mountain, he looked back.

Seeing that the old woodcutter hadn't woken up and went down the mountain, he couldn't help shaking his head, and then left without looking back.

"Pack up your bags immediately, let's go back to Guobei County."
