Chapter 72 Preparation

When Li Qi was talking to himself and couldn't help sighing, Shen Shuibi choked him back with one sentence.

"Ah? There is a threshold for the ninth rank?"

The silly rabbit tilted his head and asked in surprise.

Li Qi was speechless for a moment.

Forget it, I can't care about it. He is a fifth-rank master. His good personality doesn't mean he has no ability.

"Miss Shen, thank you for this time, but I have one more thing I want to ask you." Li Qi bowed to Shen Shuibi sincerely.

I really have to thank this person. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to reach the ninth rank.

Only by standing at the top and looking down from a high place can you easily help Li Qi think of a way to break through the ninth rank by using thirty strands of water vapor.

If it weren't for Shen Shuibi, other fifth-rank masters might be able to do it, but why would they help you for free?

If you want to spend money or use rewards to get the other party to take action, then what does Li Qi have that is so valuable that it is worth the other party to spend their brains thinking about this problem that has no benefit to him?

Definitely not.

So Li Qi was full of gratitude for Shen Shuibi's help, and he was determined to help her find Luofu Niangniang.

Knowing a favor, you should repay it.

And the best way to repay Shen Shuibi is to help her find Luofu Niangniang.

"Ah? What else?" Shen Shuibi was not impatient at all, and immediately came over to continue listening to Li Qi's doubts.

After all, this kind of thing has happened many times. Whether Li Qi is reading the book "Zhu", encountering any problems in practice, or chatting in the wild, he always asks Shen Shuibi frequently to improve his experience and knowledge level. Shen Shuibi is also used to Li Qi's questions.

"It's about today's matter, about the cursed gold-"

Li Qi began to tell everything he encountered today.

Including the matter of the old woman of the Wang family, their agreement, and a series of things he encountered after handling the gold.

After finishing the story, Li Qi asked, "Miss Shen, this is logically reasonable, but does it make sense in terms of Taoism? I heard that most practitioners have some strange methods that cannot be judged by common sense."

After hearing these words, Shen Shuibi tilted her head.

"It sounds fine, but Lao Ma's life story turned out to be like this, why didn't he tell me?" Shen Shuibi didn't care about the truth of the matter, but was concerned about Lao Ma.

"The country was destroyed, the family was ruined, and the old master died. Don't mention this kind of thing. It will make Lao Ma sad in vain. He hasn't transformed yet. Even if he has awakened his spirit, his wisdom is limited. Don't mention it." Li Qi said.

"Yeah!" Shen Shuibi nodded, without thinking much.

In fact, she never thought much, basically she believed whatever Li Qi said.

And Li Qi really thought so.

At this point, there is no need to open the scars and make Lao Ma feel guilty.

Without a human form, even if he has a spirit, he doesn't have much wisdom, just like a child. Why should he be forced to speak out about his sad things?

Just solve it yourself.

Since he got Shen Shuibi's affirmation, Li Qi continued to ask how to deal with the enemy.

How to deal with the ghost, or communicate with him?

But Shen Shuibi heard this question and asked back with some doubt: "You have the peach charms of the god of the household, the spirits of the two gods Shentu and Yulei, and the willow branch given by Dazhu on your waist. You are still a blessing person. If the ghost meets you, he should be afraid of you. What are you worried about?"

Okay, it makes sense.

Since he got the affirmation, Li Qi was relieved.

Then, he continued to practice.

Practice first, then read books.

Day by day, there will be rewards.

——————————

The next day, Lao Ma and Shen Shuibi were still waiting in the woods, while Li Qi wrapped the long knife with cloth, pretending to be a walking stick, and went into the city.

He walked all the way to the vicinity of the Wang Mansion.

But he did not go in, but found a small vendor who set up a stall nearby and bought a woman's hairpin first. It was made of copper wire, very beautiful and not expensive. It was made by a country craftsman, and only cost fifty coins.

After buying the hairpin, Li Qi put it away and took the opportunity to talk to the vendor: "Brother, I see this family with stone lions standing all over the house. It looks so rich, why is the door so deserted? There is not even a servant to sweep the floor."

"Ah? You mean the Wang family? Hey, I don't know what's wrong with this family. The business was very prosperous before, but it seems that it has been unlucky every day since last year." The vendor seemed to be a chatterbox. When talking about gossip, he became excited.

"Just before the New Year, the Wang family had a batch of goods to be delivered to the state capital, and they found the most reliable escort agency, but they were robbed on the way! The escort agency was trustworthy, and paid compensation according to the contract, bought a batch of goods to compensate, and paid an additional ten gold coins, but the time of that batch of goods seemed to be very important, and it failed to arrive as scheduled. The owner of the state capital demanded fifty gold coins for breach of contract alone! Wang's family cursed outside the escort agency for an hour, causing a lot of uproar."

"And the servants, his servants seemed to have bad luck, falling down every day, and the worst one had his leg crushed by a carriage. The Wang family spent 40,000 to 50,000 yuan on the treatment of these servants, and later had to dismiss them all."

"If you ask me... this family is rich and unkind, and God can't stand it!" The peddler said proudly, as if he had done it.

"Being rich but unkind, what bad things did his family do to deserve this punishment?" Li Qi asked again with a curious look.

"Uh... well, it seems not. The old lady of the Wang family has always been kind, and Mr. Wang is also an upright person. Their family also distributes porridge every year, but how many rich people are good? How did they become rich if they are really good people?" The vendor said bluntly.

Li Qi nodded, and without much chatter, continued to chatter for a few words, and left with the hairpin.

He walked around a street and asked a few neighbors and vendors.

The explanations he got were all similar.

Li Qi was thoughtful and walked around again. This time, he came to the gate of the Wang family and knocked on the gate.

Old lady Wang and Mr. Wang had been waiting behind the door for a long time. As soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened immediately.

"Brother, have you had breakfast? I have prepared some snacks. How about going to the tomb after eating?" Old lady Wang greeted him.

"Okay." Li Qi agreed and walked into the gate of the Wang family.

Sure enough, the food was ready. It was called snacks, but it was actually very rich. There was meat porridge, egg soup, pickles, and a plate of fried fish. It was quite good for breakfast.

Li Qi was not polite and went to the table to eat.

"Have you eaten?" Li Qi asked.

"I have eaten, just eat it, senior brother." Old Lady Wang said.

It was almost noon at this time, and the food was a little cold. Li Qi did not doubt it and started to eat breakfast.
