Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng also nodded again and again and said, "That's it, that's it, why does this God of Wealth look so familiar?"

Li Zheng shouted: "Welcoming the God of Wealth is a very solemn thing, what are you talking about? The God of Wealth has been angry with us and has run away, and everyone still doesn't know how to repent?"

"We have been making mistakes, but the heavens have not abandoned us, and now not only has the god of martial arts come to protect us. also asked the God of Wealth to bring his own silver taels to build the temple. Heaven is so kind to us fools, so what should we do?"

The crowd turned their heads to each other,

Chen Jiugong said loudly: "Although the God of Wealth has come with a silver tael, we mortals should also have some expressions, so let's do it, I will worship ten taels of silver and paste gold for the God of Wealth." ”

Xiao Sheng, Cao Bao and others also said: "Brother Chen is right, but he is a squire, and he is relatively rich in the salt business, so it is appropriate to have more, we carry the work in the wood factory, and there are only two taels of silver in the family, and we will take them all out and worship them to the God of Wealth." ”

Not to be left behind, the villagers shouted: "I am five taels, I am three taels,"

Li Zheng said loudly: "Very good, everyone's sincerity, the heavens are watching, people live up to the sky, and the sky will live up to people." I run my own carpentry factory, and my income is okay, so I pay twenty taels.

Wang Quanyuan did not give up, and he shouted loudly: "Why should we pay for it? If you want me to say, even the three hundred and sixty-five taels of silver should be divided equally among everyone."

Cao Bao, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back any longer, swept over with a leaky slap, and scolded in his mouth: "You miser with a lack of virtue and smoke, you really can't get out of the eyes of money, and you usually don't care about it, but now you have the idea of the God of Wealth? ”

Wang Quanyuan lay on the ground and beckoned to his family: "Quick, report to the officer, just say that you have killed someone." I won't get up without three taels of silver with me. ”

There was another round of clamour.

After receiving the report, the county magistrate of Bishui County appointed He Bantou to deal with it.

When he came to Xu Village, He Bantou glanced at Wang Yuanquan who was lying on the ground, and saw that he squeezed his eyes slightly, so he couldn't help but say that he put Cao Bao on a chain and put him in prison.

Cao Bao's family and Li Zheng went around asking people to intercede, spent countless money, and finally paid Wang Yuanquan three taels of silver, and Cao Bao, who was covered in bruises, walked out of prison.

When Zi Lingxiao fell into Xu Village, he had nowhere to go because he was penniless. After discussing with the villagers, Li Zheng felt that since the God of Wealth was attracted by him, this person must also have some blessings, so he let him live in the temple first, help clean the courtyard, and then arrange to work in the woodware factory, so that he can have some income.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are both people who are not willing to be lonely, seeing that Zi Lingxiao is powerful and very bold, they have become good friends after coming and going. The three of them cut wood and made utensils during the day, and gathered in the Temple of Wealth at night to drink and chat.

When he was drunk on this day, Zi Lingxiao said to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao: "We are all hot-blooded men, and we should have a feat, if we are buried and sunk like this, it will really be in vain to come to the world." ”

Xiao Sheng blinked and said in a loud voice: "Brother Zi, everyone is a master, who doesn't want to get ahead? And doing big things requires a lot of capital, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth. Where is our money?"

Zi Lingxiao said loudly: "If it was placed in the past, when I was proud, it was too simple for the brothers to get rich, everything was in my thoughts, alas, now that I am in trouble, the day is not safe, and the heroes do not mention the courage of the year." ”

Xiao Sheng asked strangely: "Brother Zi, what did you do in the past?"

Zi Lingxiao shook his head and sighed silently,

Cao Bao was silent for a while, and said angrily: "When I was framed and imprisoned by Wang Yuanquan, Chen Jiugong went to visit the prison, and he quietly told me, brother, don't hold on, Wang Yuanquan sells pickles on Bishui Street, and He Bantou is an old acquaintance, this time he deliberately rectified you, won't you lose three taels of silver? After speaking, he put down three or two lines of silver and walked away. ”

"After I was released from prison, because I didn't have the money to pay him back, I didn't dare to see Brother Chen, just now you said that you want to do some business, why don't you talk to Brother Chen? Maybe he has a way?"

Before the words fell, there was a squeak, the temple door was pushed open, Chen Jiugong carried a food box with a gust of cold wind, walked into the Temple of Wealth, and the three of them quickly got up to greet him.

Chen Jiugong took out the hot roast chicken and five delicate side dishes from the food box, put them on the offering table for a while, and then took them down and greeted: "Come on, come on, let's continue to drink." Where did the three of you just go?"

Cao Bao reached out and tore off a chicken thigh. Stuffed into his mouth and chewed, he said vaguely: "We are talking about my brother coming to see me in prison, and in addition to giving me money, he also said that there is a big deal to do." Brother Chen, my brother really has no money now, can I pay you back after a while?"

Chen Jiu said fairly: "I gave you the silver so that you can get out of prison as soon as possible, do a big deal with me, and take a set of great wealth, the silver is given to you, how can there be any reason to ask for it?"

Zi Lingxiao sat cross-legged and asked slowly: "Brother, what kind of wealth makes you so attentive, can you tell me about it?"

Chen Jiugong looked out and saw that there was no movement.

Only then did he close the door and whispered: "Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng and I are both from the same village, and we know each other's roots." Although Brother Zi is a foreigner, the strange thing on the fifth day of the first lunar month also proves that you are not a mortal, and I doubt that you are the reincarnation of the God of Martial Wealth. ”

"The brother has a set of wealth in his hands, and he must have a few brave men to join forces to take it away. Brother Zi is mighty and majestic, and Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng are also good men with white knives and red knives. I Chen Jiugong walked the rivers and lakes, relying on the word righteousness first. Today I want to be brothers in life and death with you, I wonder if the three of you are willing to appreciate your face?"

Cao Bao was the first to be the first to bear it, and he said excitedly: "Brother Chen is a rich man, but he took the initiative to bow down to us mud-legged people, okay, I agree." Brother Zi, Brother Xiao, what do you mean?"

Chen Jiugong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm just a salt seller, what kind of rich man is that?"

Zi Lingxiao thought for a while and then said steadily: "Our head is on the ground, and we will live and die together from now on." I won't talk about life and death in the same year and month. I, Zhao Gongming, swear to the sky, if I deceive my heart, the sky will thunder. ”

The three of them also said again and again that what Brother Zi said was exactly what we wanted.

Everyone recommended the older Chen Jiugong as the eldest brother,

Chen Jiugong excused himself: "Righteous brothers are different from in-law brothers, not about age, but about prestige and seniority. It seems that his experience is not ordinary, this is our big brother. ”

Zi Lingxiao excused himself slightly, and then sat on the main seat.

Then they rehearsed the generations in the direction and position of each person

In the east, Xiao Sheng ranked second

Cao Bao in the west ranks third

Although Chen Jiugong in the south is older, he is in fourth place, but he doesn't mind.

After the bow, the four of them cleaned up the banquet and drank each other.

Chen Jiugong put down his wine glass and said to everyone: "Three brothers, we have almost drunk the wine, now let me talk about the reason for this set of great wealth." ”

The noisy scene suddenly calmed down, and everyone looked at Chen Jiugong with expectant eyes.

Chen Jiugong touched his nose with his hand and said slowly: "Some time ago, I went to Yangqiao to transport salt, and by the way, I went to nearby Foshan to visit the righteous brother Yao Shaosi. At that time, I drank a lot of wine, everyone was a little drunk, and in the evening, I stayed in the house of Shaosi, Yao's house is located at the foot of Foshan, although it is deserted here, it is quiet by the mountains and rivers,

But I had a problem, I couldn't sleep peacefully in a strange place, I was tossing and turning, and suddenly it was like daylight outside the window, and it was very dazzling, and I was curious, so I got up and looked out. I saw the colorful light on the top of the Buddha Mountain reaching into the sky. ”

At a loss, the door was pushed open,

Yao Shaosi walked in with a pale face,

I hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's going on? Where did all that light come from?"

Yao Shaosi said faintly: "From the fifth day of the first lunar month to now, it has been a few months, and every time there is a child on the top of the mountain, it will be full of light. My mother has been psychic since she was a child, she said that the place where the light is hidden in the baby, the fifth day of the first month is the birthday of the God of Wealth, it must be the God of Wealth to hide the baby here, the light is divided into five colors, and straight into the sky is an indication that there must be five Hong Fu Qi Tian, righteous thin cloud sky, worthy of the sky, such as the sun in the sky, the people who stand on the top of the sky to cooperate together, in order to take away this treasure. My mother closed her eyes and thought for a while before saying that such people have one characteristic, that is, they are bold. Brother Chen, the two of us have a lot of courage, but where are the remaining three people?"

After returning home, I carefully figured out that the most daring people in the village were Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, but Cao Bao was in prison, and if he was not rescued, the matter of taking the treasure was empty talk, and this matter did not dare to delay.

That's why I handed over the money to save Cao Bao,

In fact, since Brother Zi came to the Temple on the fifth day of the first lunar month, I have been observing. Today, it seems that Yu Xuan is even more courageous, so tonight I came over with dishes with a shy face to make friends with three heroes, the purpose is to join forces to take treasures and accumulate capital for future big things. We're men, and if we're men, we have to do something big, right?

Zi Lingxiao clenched his fists and said, "What the fourth brother said is right, without further ado, let's prepare some tools for digging treasures now, and we will go to Foshan to pick up treasures tomorrow night."

The next night, the four of them gathered at Yao Shaosi's house, and at the suggestion of Chen Jiugong, the five of them re-worshipped and ranked Yao Shaosi fifth.

At this time, when it was approaching, everyone stared at the top of the mountain like walnuts.

Suddenly, a purple light emitted from the top of the mountain, and then four colored lights appeared to surround the purple light in the middle, standing in all directions, piercing the clouds and pointing straight to the blue sky.

Zi Lingxiao waved his hand, and the four of them were as agile as civets, and they quietly climbed to the top of the mountain.

After arriving, I found that the light was actually coming from a stone cave near the top of the mountain, and there was a dragon stone door at the entrance of the cave. It was only when they entered the cave that they could see that the dazzling light was coming from a very neat stone platform.

Zi Lingxiao approached the stone platform, and when he saw the luminous objects placed on the stone platform, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he was stunned.
