Chapter 39: Wu De, the Evil Merchant

Wukong's eyes rolled a few times, wondering if what the girl said was true or false.

The girl had been living in the store for a few days, and the shopkeeper and the guy only thought she was boasting, but the guy pursed his lips and said, "Grandma, you can say whatever you want, but Wu De's house is not a ghost, you must not go." ”

Goku was surprised and asked, "What is it that is not a ghost?"

"This ......" the guy was a little scrupled, and he stopped talking.

The girl was annoyed, and ran away with a piece of broken silver, and laid it on the table, and said, "You should tell this girl, why can't you go?

The man took the silver, looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered: "Wu De's family is not a ghost, the people in the town say that it is the manifestation of King Tota Li." ”

Sun Wukong and the girl were even more curious: "Why did Li Tianwang come to his house to manifest his spirit?"

The guy continued: "This Wu De is a well-known rich family, in recent years, by building a temple to make a lot of money, last year I saw a place in the east of the town, I wanted to build a temple there, that place was originally a temple of the king of heaven, dedicated to the king of Tota Li, Wu De wanted to demolish the temple of the king of heaven, and then their family had an accident, invited a lot of monks, mages, were beaten away by the gods, the people said, deserved it. ”

Between the words of the shopkeeper, he seemed to hate Wu De very much, and Wukong asked, "Why do you say you deserve it?"

The guy said: "This Wu De people are as their name suggests, extremely lacking in morality, originally a scoundrel in Wanhua Town, in recent years, I heard that he caught up with the Wang Taishi of Chang'an, that Wang Taishi is the father of Wang Guifei, with this backer, that Wu Degai Temple, it is like robbing money." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"When they built a temple, they asked the monks to go to the homes of local rich families to make fortunes, and if they needed 10,000 taels of silver to build a temple, they would have to gather 30,000 taels, and no one dared not give it. What is even more lacking in virtue is that they build monasteries, often pick the location of the fertile land, if any piece of land is favored by them, those landlords can only destroy the wealth and eliminate disasters, and the people who were forced to die by him, I don't know how many, this is more vicious than building a temple. ”

"Such a vicious person, can't anyone take care of it?"

The shopkeeper said: "You seem to go out often, haven't you heard that the emperor is extremely fond of that princess, even if it is an official of the state capital, he does not dare to provoke that princess." Because of his friendship with Wang Taishi, it was those local officials who demanded Wu De. ”

After Sun Wukong heard this, he was angry in his heart, so he said to the girl: "Little sister, I think you still don't want to go, this kind of person, let Li Tianwang clean him up." ”

The shopkeeper also said: "The temple of the king of heaven has been here for decades, and if the villagers in the vicinity encounter a disaster, they will go to offer incense, and it will all be effective." Wu De wants to demolish the Tianwang Temple, and the villagers dare not speak out, this time let Li Tianwang rectify it, and the girl should not go. ”

The girl said seriously: "This girl is doing the business of subduing demons and catching ghosts, this business is about integrity, since I received his money, why don't I go, if it is really Li Tianwang, I will give him a favor, and the matter will be settled." "This girl didn't know what she was capable of, but her tone was very strong.

The girl continued: "Heavenly Court is busy with official business, and King Li rarely has activities in the lower realm, whether it is a god or a monster, I will find out when I go and see." ”

Seeing that the girl insisted on going, the shopkeeper had become accustomed to hearing her talk big in the past few days, and finally threw down a sentence and said: "The villain has finished speaking, if the girl feels that she has great powers, please feel free." ”

Sun Wukong listened to what the girl said and made some sense, Tota Li Tianwang is indeed very rarely active in the lower realm, maybe it is a monster and I don't know, so he came to the interest and said: "Little sister, I haven't seen a ghost when I'm so old, how about going to see a lively scene with you?"

The girl said with a big grin, "You can go, just be a helper for me." ”

Sun Wukong went upstairs to say hello to Jiang Liuer, and then went downstairs to wait for Wu De's family with the girl.

Wukong remembered something and asked the girl: "For a person like Wu De, you only need him ten taels of silver, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?"

The girl slapped her hand on the table a few times, and said, "In vain, you are still a scholar, so ignorant, is this girl short of money? ”

Wu De's family came, drove a carriage, and Sun Wukong and the girl came to Wu De's house together. Entering the courtyard, two oval people greeted them, it was Wu De and her wife.

Wu De was not originally called Wu De, this name was changed by him at the suggestion of a "master", don't you say, since the name was changed to Wu De, the Wu family has prospered financially, the two of them have no worries about food and clothing, eat well, sleep well, and become fat, they are fat very comfortable, fat is completely different from the poor, they feel that this is rich.

Wu De welcomed the girl and Sun Wukong into the house, and his wife quietly tugged at his sleeve and said, "Shopkeeper, where did this little girl come from? ”

Wu De said: "Who is reliable? The first few who look reliable are not the same useless, whatever, it is only ten taels of silver left and right, if she gives her life, she is only to blame for her own hard life." ”

These two have invited a lot of monks and mages, this little girl is the cheapest one, so cheap that Wu De doesn't believe it, but after the news of their family spread, there is no ghost hunter in the town, and finally met one, whether it is true or false, you have to try, ten taels of silver, for Wu De, it is not as good as a copper plate of ordinary people.

Wu De fell in love with the place of the Tianwang Temple, and wanted to demolish the temple, so that he could make some more money, he built dozens of temples, but there was no one at the door, it was a pity to think about it, the people said that the Tianwang Temple was very spiritual, Wu De seemed to be ignorant, because people went to the Tianwang Temple, no matter what they wanted, they had to take money, Wu De seemed to be a business, what gods and monsters, similar to people, this business you do, I Wu De will do it.

Later, Wu De's family had an accident, and there was no peace at night, Wu De was not afraid, the business did his job, and he naturally had a lot of friends, he had a friend named Elder Jinchi, who was the abbot of Chang'an Guanyin Monastery, quite familiar with Buddhism, and knew a lot of immortals.

Elder Jin Chi has to collect several thousand taels of silver from Wu De every year, and he helps Wu De analyze that this cannot be the Heavenly King of Tota Li, because the "immortal" threatens to ask Wu De to take two thousand taels of silver, and most of them are still the monsters who are jealous of his business, so Elder Jin Chi has promised to introduce him to a master to help, and the master is almost there.

The maid brought melon and fruit tea, and Wu De said with a smile: "That ghost appears from time to time, so I will retire first." ”

The girl didn't like the fat man either, waved her hand, and said impatiently, "Go, go." Then he ate and drank on his own, and waited for the monster to appear.

As soon as the third watch rang, a woman in white suddenly appeared in the courtyard, it turned out to be the banshee who stole the ginseng fruit in the Wuzhuang Temple, this banshee stood in the courtyard and said softly: "Wu De, quickly take the money out, and I will spare your life." The voice was very low, but it was very penetrating, and all the people in the Wu family's house could hear it clearly.
