Shi Tianci said: "Serving the monarch is a matter of duty, how dare you ask for any reward."

Feng Zhizhang said: "Don't be polite, I heard the monk say that this magic weapon is quite extraordinary. ”

Shi Tianci smiled and said: "Then I will be disrespectful, monarch, if you want to make money quickly, you can issue lottery tickets, but if you want to make money steadily, you have to make ideas about tobacco." ”

Feng Zhizhang listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, full of interest, and asked Shi Tianci carefully about the principle of the lottery, the issuance method and the means of operation. Shi Tianci explained in detail one by one, and Feng Zhizhang listened to it and was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground. He immediately found Shang Shu, who was in charge of the treasury, and repeated Shi Tianci's lottery plan.

That Shangshu was obviously not as quick as Feng Zhizhang's response, and it was easy to understand, but he questioned whether this lottery could be profitable. was so angry that Feng Zhizhang scolded him, and drove him down to do the same immediately.

The lottery was arranged, and Feng Zhizhang asked about tobacco again. Shi Tianci said: "Tobacco is the simplest, and if the monarch wants to make money, he must sell it monopolly." ”

Feng Zhizhang said: "The most important thing is that our Jiangxia country does not produce tobacco at all, how can we buy it?"

Shi Tianci smiled and said, "Even Su Jingshan's tobacco is the source of goods arranged by me, and with me, Jiangxia Kingdom will definitely be able to produce tobacco." Ask the monarch to find a good place, and I will send a book with a flying sword and let them help grow tobacco. ”

Feng Zhizhang was very grateful and immediately ordered people to prepare wasteland for tobacco planting.

Shi Tianci not only helped Feng Zhizhang grow tobacco, but also told Xie Yuanjing, the head of Tianshuimen, the secret flying sword of tobacco. Although gold and silver are of little use to ordinary monks, they are still very useful for a major sect like Tianshuimen. At the very least, money is indispensable for building houses, laying stones, decorating temples, and attracting incense.

In this way, both Jiangxia and Tianshuimen can grow tobacco, which will make the cost of tobacco drop rapidly, and it is impossible for Su Jingshui to count on tobacco to make a lot of money. And once the tobacco is worthless, it will naturally be meaningless for them to detain Xi Yulan, so they can only release her. Shi Tianci killed two birds with one stone, which not only helped Jiang Xiaguo and Tianshuimen, but also saved Xi Yulan.

Before the tobacco side started making money, the lottery was already shining. The enthusiasm of the people of Jiangxia for the lottery is not inferior to that of the previous life. After all, getting rich overnight is everyone's dream. From the dignitaries and nobles, the businessmen and the wealthy, down to the common people, servants and pawns, all of them paid for it.

The grand prize winner of the first lottery turned out to be a beggar who picked up someone else's lottery ticket, and he immediately turned from a poor man who could not eat to a rich man with a group of servants. This created an amazing sensational effect, even the princes and nobles were red-eyed, and even beggars could win the lottery, how could they not be tempted?

A lot of rich people spend huge sums of money to buy lottery tickets,Lottery has become the biggest gambling game in Jiangxia,Not only people in Jiangxia flock to it,Even Tianshui many businessmen who often go in and out of Jiangxia have also bought,Just a few lottery tickets later,The original empty treasury began to gradually enrich!

Feng Zhizhang smiled from ear to ear, and he ordered someone to invite Shi Tianci and Zou Ruoshui over for a big banquet. He did not ask any of his subordinates to have a banquet, but personally accompanied him and the queen. Although the four of them did not drink the sea water, they did not drink less. As they were drinking, Feng Zhizhang staggered, got up and pulled Shi Tianci and Zou Ruoshui to a side hall in the palace.

It is very quiet here, with calligraphy and paintings on the walls and a dazzling array of books all around. Feng Zhizhang handed a wooden box on the bookcase to Shi Tianci, and Shi Tianci opened it to see that it was a strange helmet inside. The helmet was not made of iron or brass, but was carved from an unknown bone.

Shi Tianci tried to wear it, and was immediately surprised. When this helmet is put on, it can form an extremely strong protection for his soul. It seems that this helmet is the armor of the soul. Moreover, Shi Tianci can clearly feel the breath of the ghost dragon from the helmet, nine times out of ten, this helmet is carved from the head of the ghost dragon.

This helmet is obviously a good thing, with it, Shi Tianci is easily not afraid of all kinds of Dao techniques and magic weapons that attack the soul. He was overjoyed, thanked He Zhizhang, and put away his helmet.

Feng Zhizhang knew that Zou Ruoshui liked music, so he gave her some of the music scores collected in the palace. Among them, there is a mandarin duck Zhao Zou Ruoshui liked it very much, and after putting it away, Zou Ruoshui also thanked Feng Zhizhang.

Feng Zhizhang said with a smile: "Since I saw Miss Zou, I haven't seen you smile, and you made that evil ghost possession scare me even more." It's easy to see Miss Zou laughing today, it's not easy. ”

Zou Ruoshui smiled indifferently and hurriedly apologized. Feng Zhizhang shook his head and said, "It's not your fault, it's all a god-given ghost idea, I only look for him to settle accounts." ”

Shi Tianci said with a smile: "If it weren't for the monarch causing trouble, knowing that I had a marriage contract with Ruoshui, and still came to join in the fun, how could I let Ruoshui pretend to be a ghost." Speaking of which, it's all the king's fault. ”

Feng Zhizhang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's really my fault, let's go have two more drinks." ”

A few people were about to go out, and Shi Tianci suddenly saw a painting on the wall, and the word "strange" was prominently signed. His heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Monarch, who painted this painting?"

Feng Zhizhang glanced at it and said, "It was painted by my uncle Feng Qiqi when he was young, why, have you heard of him?"

Shi Tianci had not only heard of it, but the soul root he was occupying now was Feng Qiqi's! Shi Tianci calmed down the excitement in his heart for a while, and asked slowly: "This Feng Qiqi is the uncle of the monarch? As far as I know, he should be a monk, right?"

Feng Zhizhang nodded and said, "That's right, he is a monk, and besides, he is a monk of your Xuanyun Sect." Many years ago, he was the crown prince. However, when he found out that he had a spiritual root, he gave up the position of the crown prince, entered the Xuanyun Gate, and devoted himself to cultivating and seeking the Tao. ”

Only then did Shi Tianci know that this Feng Qiqi turned out to be the royal family of Jiangxia Kingdom, and he was originally the crown prince. For the sake of cultivation, he actually gave up the throne, and this person's background is really legendary.

Feng Zhizhang said: "My uncle has been cultivating in Xuanyun Gate for ten years, and he has become an expert in derivation techniques, and it is said that the derivation techniques of Elder Dao Mirror of Tianshui Gate are far inferior to him, and only Elder Yuan Hao can be comparable to him. However, I don't know how to do Taoism, so I don't know if it's an exaggeration. ”

Shi Tianci recalled his experience after coming to this plane, and secretly thought in his heart, I was afraid that this Feng Qiqi's deduction technique was indeed stronger than Elder Daojing. He asked, "And then?"

Feng Zhizhang said: "Because of his great derivation technique, Xuanyun Sect promoted him as Elder Ling Qi. However, I don't know why, then he left Xuanyun Gate and began to wander in the three worlds of demons, demons, and ghosts. There are rumors that he has passed away a long time ago, and I don't know if Lu Dao is true or not. ”

Shi Tianci nodded and said, "The monarch's uncle is really a strange person. ”

Feng Zhizhang said: "Yes, I remember that he was very strange. When I was very young, he came to see me, and said that I would definitely inherit the throne in the future, and told me to study hard and be a wise king. At the time, I thought he was playing tricks on me, because I had two older brothers. Who knows, later my father really passed on the throne to me. ”

Shi Tianci said: "This Feng Qiqi is a master of derivation techniques, and it is obviously not difficult to deduce the future heir to the throne of Jiangxia Kingdom. ”

Feng Zhizhang said: "The strangest thing is that he told me to keep this study of his, saying that he will return here to find his roots after being reincarnated in the future." He said the truth, so I kept it as it was until he was reincarnated. ”

Shi Tianci said curiously: "Root-seeking? What does that mean?"

Feng Zhizhang said: "According to my uncle, after his reincarnation, he will go to find a dragon sword, and once he finds it, he will come back and meet his previous life!"

Shi Tianci was taken aback and asked, "Since he has already entered reincarnation, how can he return here to see his previous life again?"

Feng Zhizhang shook his head and said, "This, I don't know what to do." ”

Zou Ruoshui asked, "Could it be that he left a split soul?"

Shi Tianci nodded and said, "This is the greatest possibility, it seems that there is something else in this study." ”

Zou Ruoshui said: "No wonder the Ling Qi Palace of Xuanyun Gate has been unattended, it turns out that its owner was originally Elder Ling Qi. ”

Feng Zhizhang urged: "Why are you so interested in my uncle's affairs? Forget it, let's go to the bar." ”

Shi Tianci was full of suspicions, but he couldn't stand Feng Zhizhang and dragged him away.

After the banquet, after Shi Tianci and Zou Ruoshui left the palace, they did not fly with their swords, but held hands and slowly admired the moonlight. Zou Ruoshui said: "No wonder my master is sometimes drunk, and always mentions Ling Qi, it turns out that he is Feng Qiqi." Aren't you the reincarnation of Feng Qiqi? Why didn't you tell the monarch just now?"

Shi Tianci shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, my previous life was not from this plane at all, I was not Feng Qiqi's reincarnation at all, and I still can't figure out how I could occupy Feng Qiqi's soul root." ”

Zou Ruoshui said: "I don't care who you are, as long as you like me." ”

Shi Tianci smiled: "Of course I like you, when I help you avenge, I will marry you." ”

Zou Ruoshui blushed and said, "If you want revenge, let's go together." ”

Shi Tianci agreed in his mouth, but he was noncommittal in his heart. He is a demon, and there is naturally no problem in entering and exiting the demon world, and it would be too inconvenient to take Zou Ruoshui to the demon world to kill people.

Although Zou Ruoshui's hand was a little cold, it was as soft as a boneless, and Shi Tianci didn't want to let go when he held it. He held Zou Ruoshui's hand, hoping that this road would never end.

The two of them returned to Xuanyun Gate, and Shi Tianci sent Zou Ruoshui back to Lingbing Palace, and went back to his residence to rest for a while. Shi Tianci's residence is in the guest room of Xuanyun Gate, because he does not belong to any palace, so he will take a moment for the time being. However, as soon as he returned to his lodgings, he found that there were already people waiting there.

What was waiting for him was the Xuanqing Elder who planted the life-killing roots for him back then!
