Chapter 1449 Sir, Please Think Twice

When Lizhi saw Zhiqiu Yiye, he gently called out "Master Zhiqiu" and turned to fetch water from the well.

Zhiqiu Yiye looked at Lizhi's back and thought that Jiang Hao had a lot of tricks. He had clearly seen Lizhi's soul being blasted away by the Taoist talisman, and his body and soul were destroyed, but he was able to revive her. He blinked his eyes and wondered how to learn Jiang Hao's magic.

After Jiang Hao finished washing up, he practiced the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art in the yard. Zhiqiu Yiye waited for a long time beside him. When he saw Jiang Hao finished, he immediately came over.

"Brother Jiang, where is Lizhi?" Zhiqiu Yiye said.

"She went to practice. I refined the Ghost King and made the Ghost King Pearl. I gave it to Lizhi to eat. She needs a long time to refine it."

"How did you revive Lizhi?" Zhiqiu Yiye asked curiously.

"A secret technique." Jiang Hao said.

"Brother Jiang, hehe, can you teach me?" Zhiqiu Yiye showed a flattering smile on his face.

Jiang Hao looked at this guy and said with a smile: "Yes, you can, but I'm afraid you're biting off more than you can chew. How are your Divine Thunder Controlling Technique, Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, and Five Thunder Palms?"

Zhiqiu Yiye's face darkened, like a student being tortured by a teacher about his studies, and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm still laying the foundation, and it's probably too early to achieve a small success."

"The spell I used to revive Litchi is called the Lich Resurrection Technique. It is a strange technique. It is very troublesome to practice. You need to know two new spells. It's estimated that this spell will take you several years to practice. Do you really want to learn it?!" Jiang Hao said.

Lich magic is magic. It is not difficult to convert magic from spiritual power, but lich spells are a new language. It may take Zhiqiu Yiye several years to learn it.

When Zhiqiu Yiye heard that it was so troublesome, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​learning. He was not a perverted monster like Jiang Hao, who could learn any spell at once.

Besides, this Lich Resurrection Technique is only useful for raising ghosts. It is actually dispensable and has little effect on him.

"Forget it, I'll go practice." After saying that, he ran to another place to practice.

Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head.

Back in the room, Lizhi sat on the bed, sitting upright to refine the Ghost King Pearl. The Ghost King Pearl contains most of the Ghost King's cultivation. It will take more than one or two days to completely refine it. Jiang Hao was afraid that Lizhi would have problems, so he asked her to practice outside, so that he could rescue her if something really went wrong.

As for Zhu Guang, he swallowed thousands of ghosts yesterday and was practicing in the bamboo tube. It would take a long time to completely refine it. I don't know how much his cultivation will increase after completely absorbing it.

Now that the prefectural examination is over, the college examination will be two months later. Jiang Hao thinks he should make plans early and prepare to go to Hangzhou in advance. Just when he thought of this, there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Hao went to open the door and saw that it was Feng Fangzhou, the candidate from Lanxi whom he had met outside the examination room that day. He immediately smiled and bowed, "Brother Feng, how did you find me?"

Feng Fangzhou bowed, "I came to inform you that we agreed to leave for Hangzhou in two days and rented a big boat. If Brother Jiang comes with us, we can go to the provincial capital together and live together at that time, so that we can take care of each other."

Jiang Hao thought about it and realized that his situation was a bit special. It would be troublesome to live with them. "Brother Feng, thank you for coming to inform me, but I have some things to do in Jinhua, so I'm afraid it will be a little later. You go first and we'll meet again in Hangzhou."

"Okay, then Feng will take his leave." Feng Fangzhou bowed and said goodbye.

After Feng Fangzhou left, Jiang Hao felt that he should also make preparations. He came to Zhuge Wulong's room. At this moment, the old man was buried in writing a book. Jiang Hao leaned over to take a look. Zhuge was writing annotations on Neo-Confucianism.

After reading for a while, I found that old Zhuge had added a lot of his own ideas to the old Neo-Confucianism, as well as remarks that combined with current reality. I was slightly surprised. Could it be that old Zhuge wanted to come up with a new Neo-Confucianism?

"What do you think of this paragraph I wrote?"

Old Zhuge had known that Jiang Hao was coming. After writing, he put down his pen and asked without looking back.

"Do you want to come up with a Neo-Confucianism that can be used today?" Jiang Hao said.

Old Zhuge suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Hao, looking him up and down. "You are more knowledgeable than I thought. Just reading this article, you can see through my thoughts."

"Nowadays, the world can be said to be in ruins, the world is in ruins, and people's hearts are not the same as before. The thoughts passed down by several saints have collapsed. I want to come up with a new Neo-Confucianism to reverse this situation, get the world back on track, and settle people's hearts again."

"The new school must abide by morality and conform to reality, so that the people can easily accept it. I know this is very difficult. Maybe it's just my own fantasy, but I still want to write it out."

"Have you thought about it?" Jiang Hao asked.

"It's not that easy. I just have some vague ideas, but I can't figure it out." The old man shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Hao thought about it, asked Zhuge to move aside, and spread out a piece of rice paper again. He dipped the pen in ink and wrote on the rice paper.

"Rich, strong, friendly."

After Jiang Hao finished writing, he put down the pen and said to Zhuge, "I have a 24-character mantra. Do you think it can be included in your new learning?"

Looking at the simple words on the paper, the old man fell into deep thought. The more he thought, the deeper he thought, which made him have countless ideas. After a long time, Zhuge called out the word "wonderful".

"It's really wonderful. This mantra makes me feel enlightened."

Zhuge was ecstatic and grabbed Jiang Hao's hand and said, "If my knowledge is written, this new learning will belong to you and me."

"You may have some ideas about these words, but don't say them first. Let me talk about my ideas first. We can verify each other and perhaps collide with more things. As for the first prosperity, I understand that it is not the prosperity of the country and the people, but the prosperity of the people and the country." The old man said excitedly.

In this way, Zhuge kept talking about his understanding, and after he finished, he asked Jiang Hao about his understanding.

Jiang Hao expressed his own ideas, and naturally there were many differences between the two sides.

Zhuge had a more thorough understanding of this world, while Jiang Hao had experienced countless worlds and had a broader vision. He had a new understanding of these words, and naturally there was a collision.

Where there is a collision, there is a quarrel. When they quarreled, the debate between the two became more in-depth.

Sometimes a word can be said for a long time, expanding into countless branches. Zhuge felt that Jiang Hao's words were more and more profound.

Chatting from morning to noon, from noon to night, and talking by candlelight at night, it was almost time to go to bed, and Jiang Hao remembered why he came to Zhuge.

"I'm going to Hangzhou for the college entrance examination in a few days. Do you want to go with me?" Jiang Hao asked.

Old Zhuge shook his head, "I won't go. Let's communicate more these days. You go to the exam, and I'll stay here to write down what we communicated."

"Okay, then I'll hire two people to serve you." Jiang Hao said.

"You can arrange it."

Old Zhuge didn't care about these things and turned to write something.

Jiang Hao went back to sleep, opened the door, and found a graceful figure kneeling on the bed, making the bed for himself. Hearing the door open, Lizhi turned around and said, "The young master is back, I'm making the bed, it will be ready soon."

This posture, this voice, exudes a seductive taste from inside to outside.

Jiang Hao suspected that she deliberately put on this "shaking her head and tail" posture.

Sitting on the bed, Lizhi brought hot water to wash his feet, and her little hands gently pinched his toes. Jiang Hao said: "Lizhi, what do you think about buying another house?"

"Ah~Okay!"

Lizhi responded without knowing why. Anyway, for her, if the young master said it was good, it was good.

"We will go to Hangzhou for an exam in a few days, and we need to arrange for Mr. Zhuge. I wanted to buy this place, but then I thought, since we are going to buy it, why not buy a better one? Come with me tomorrow to see if there are any good houses." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay, okay." Lizhi nodded hurriedly, and she could go shopping with the young master.

The next day,

Zhu Guang drove the carriage, and Jiang Hao and Lizhi sat in the carriage. They came to the pawnshop with a creaking sound. When the pawnshop staff saw Jiang Hao coming in the car, dressed well, and had a beautiful maid by his side, they knew that this was a high-quality customer.

Jiang Hao's outfit, in modern times, would be like wearing a famous brand, driving a luxury car, and bringing a beautiful girl. When he arrived at the sales office, he would naturally be looked up to. This pattern has never changed from ancient times to the present.

The pawnshop warmly entertained Jiang Hao. When he heard that Jiang Hao wanted to buy a better house, he was even happier. This was a big deal, and they would get a lot of commission. He took out a book for Jiang Hao to choose.

Jiang Hao looked through the registration book, and Lizhi was watching beside him. For the small courtyard they rented before, two courtyards, with houses and courtyards, because of the remote location, the price was only about 80 taels. He was rich now, and he had stolen tens of thousands of taels of silver from the treasury of the Pu'an County Magistrate, so he naturally wanted a better one.

Looking through the better courtyards, the price rose sharply. Jiang Hao saw a three-courtyard house covering an area of ​​one acre, which was priced at 580 taels.

Continuing to look back, a house covering an area of ​​four acres was actually priced at 3,200 taels. The yazi said that this house was luxuriously decorated, with a total of 39 rooms, and the location was good, right in the city of Jinhua Prefecture.

Looking down, Jiang Hao suddenly found a separate courtyard marked on the bank of the Jinhua River, covering an area of ​​12 acres, and the asking price was only 2,000 taels, which was very unreasonable.

"What's the matter with this house?" Jiang Hao pointed to the registration in the book and asked.

The agent hesitated, looked at Jiang Hao, and finally said: "To be honest with you, Mr. Jiang, this house is not clean."

"Not clean? Tell me in detail."

Jiang Hao became interested. This is a standard bargain hunting plot.

The agent did not dare to neglect and told Jiang Hao.

"This courtyard was originally the other courtyard of the salt merchant Ma Yuanwai. It was used for cooling off in the summer. It was built very luxuriously. Not to mention two thousand taels, even twenty thousand taels would not be enough. However, the house was just built and the Ma family lived there for only one month. During that time, strange things happened one after another."

"What strange things?" Lizhi also became curious.

"Mr. Ma stayed in the other courtyard for a few days. He fell down for no reason many times and was even pushed into the lotus lake, but there was no one around.

All the prepared meals were lost, and the cups and plates were in a mess. It was obvious that they were eaten, but no one noticed that someone or an animal had come in.

When Mr. Ma was enjoying the cool in the pavilion, he saw the fish in the pond gathered together for no reason and formed the word "get out". Many people in the Ma family saw it.

After that, Mr. Ma had several nightmares. A green-faced and fanged evil ghost appeared and said that the Ma family's house occupied his place. Now the house belongs to him, and the Ma family should get out quickly."

"Mr. Ma couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately ran away with his family, but he was still unwilling to give up. After all, he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, so he found a magician to exorcise the demons, but those magicians didn't stay in the house for long. They just shook their heads at Mr. Ma and left without saying what they saw."

"Several wizards have been like this, so the others dare not go. Mr. Ma has completely given up, and the house has been abandoned. It has been half a year. Mr. Ma has no choice but to put it up for sale in the pawnshop. A haunted house naturally cannot be sold at a high price, so he sold it at one-tenth of the price."

Lizhi pouted and said, "It's so noisy and you still sell it. Isn't this harming people!"

Yazi smiled awkwardly, "This matter is known to everyone in Jinhua Prefecture. We also know that no one will buy it, and we don't intend to deceive people into buying it. If someone asks, it's natural to explain that we are trying our best."

Jiang Hao thought of something else and asked, "You said that the ghost also makes trouble during the day?"

"It's mainly during the day. Strange things rarely happen at night." Yazi said.

Jiang Hao glanced at Lizhi and felt that the troublemaker was probably not a ghost. Ghosts usually work and rest at night. Even if they are at the level of ghost kings, they are not afraid of the scorching sun and are unwilling to come out in broad daylight.

"Take me to see the house." Jiang Hao said.

Yazi was shocked, "Mr. Jiang, you don't want to buy that house, do you? It's very dangerous, think twice."

"It's okay, I just went to take a look out of curiosity."
