Chapter 35: The Drunken Madman Chi Longwang

"Searching for traces and tracing the source of a river is not a great skill; being able to hide and disappear without a trace is the real skill!"

The patrol officer, who was on his way, gave an irrelevant answer.

Nie Tai was startled when he heard this, and then he seemed to be thinking about something, vaguely realizing the new use of [Identifying Objects by Scent].

Speechless all the way.

When the two returned to the Tian'an Underground Palace, the gatekeeper saw the inspector and was immediately shocked. He said quickly:
"The Tian'an Land God Temple was unaware of the Inspector's visit and failed to welcome you. I hope the Inspector will forgive me! I will inform Lord Gu right away..."

"Wait a minute!"

The patrol officer called out to the gatekeeper who was about to chant a spell to go online, and said with a smile:

"You are just like hitting a jar with a carrying pole - family members don't recognize each other! Let me tell you, I am the sworn brother of Gu Bogong. Are you treating me as an outsider by being so polite?"

The gatekeeper was dumbfounded, and then he slapped his mouth and said, "Look at my mouth, I deserve a beating!"

The inspector smiled, patted the ghost messenger with his hand, and casually gave him two sticks of incense, saying, "I will go in by myself."

"Yes, Mr. He."

The ghost responded quickly, and when the inspector walked away, he whispered a spell and summoned Gu Bogong.

This is to prevent the inspector from deceiving him and catching Gu Bogong off guard.

……

At this time, Gu Yunli was entertaining the local gods. Amidst the drinking, a hearty laugh was heard:
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I can just get in on the feast!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked over, they were all shocked and quickly stood up.

Gu Yunli also pretended to be ignorant and said in surprise:
"Why is Brother He here?"

"not welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome. Come, take a seat!"

The Dragon King of the Pond, who was sitting next to Gu Yunli, quickly gave up his seat, and moved one by one to squeeze the last transformed carp spirit to the door.

It made him very embarrassed.

"Haha, what a coincidence. I was out on patrol today and happened to see a zombie killing innocent people, so I took action to capture it. Then I realized that this little brother is my brother's man, so I came over to join in the fun."

After the inspector sat down, he pointed at Nie Tai beside him.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this.

Bu Shansheng, who was sitting at the table, had a look of even greater confusion on his face.

"Is there still this?"

Gu Yunli looked at Nie Tai in surprise.

Nie Tai hurriedly bowed and said, "Reporting to Master Gu, I was out on business and was attacked. Fortunately, the inspectors came forward to capture him, otherwise he would be in great danger!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the local gods at the table, and even Bu Shansheng, looked somewhat surprised.

Could it be that they were wrong?
"I see. Why don't you thank the inspector?"

Gu Yunli nodded, and Nie Tai also bowed obediently to express his gratitude.

After being enlightened by the inspector, Nie Tai already understood a little bit.

He was wrong from the beginning.

Any suspicious points should be reported immediately, and it is best to report them privately to leave room for maneuver.

After all, what if you’re wrong?
It was he who wanted to stand out, and he had to step on others to get ahead, which was even more like alerting the enemy. No wonder Lord Gu reacted coldly.

"Zhao Mancang, show Brother Nie a seat."

Gu Yunli greeted.

Zhao Mancang, who was serving nearby, hurriedly brought a chair and added a seat for Nie Tai, squeezing the carp demon who was sitting at the last seat even more awkwardly.

The addition of the patrol officers made the banquet even more lively.

The brotherly friendship between Gu Yunli and the inspector not only confirmed the rumors in the martial arts world, but also made the local gods inexplicably excited, and they looked at Gu Yunli with increasingly eager eyes.

As the wine flowed, Gu Yunli raised his glass and said respectfully to the gentlemen: "Today, I am grateful for your help. I will give you all my gratitude. Everything will be in this glass of wine."

Saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

The officials quickly stood up and responded, making the atmosphere quite lively and noisy.

"This second cup of wine is for Brother Long, and even more so for all of Brother Long's brothers. Dafangtang is dozens of miles away from Tian'an Village, and Brother Long not only arrived at the first opportunity, but also helped me with my urgent needs. Such a righteous man is truly rare!"

Gu Yunli also paid his respects to the Dragon King of Chi from afar.

Upon hearing this, Chi Longwang's face flushed, and he quickly stood up, holding the cup in both hands and said, "It is a blessing for us to be able to serve Lord Gu."

The water monsters who were sitting at the end of the table also stood up and responded, "Yes, yes!"

"Hey, since we are family, why should we talk about different things? If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

Gu Yunli smiled, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King was so excited that his catfish whiskers danced and his face flushed as he said, "To be honest, Master Gu, I really have something that I would like to ask for your help."

Everyone looked strange upon hearing this, and some even tried not to smile.

This guy really knows how to take advantage of the situation?
To make such a request in public is like putting Mr. Gu on the spot!
It would be fine if the request was simple;
If it is too difficult, how do you want Lord Gu to deal with it?

The inspector, with a smile on his face, also looked at the Dragon King Chi with a happy expression.

I've heard a long time ago that the reason why Mr. Cui Sanye of Tian'an Hall suddenly attacked Gu Yunli was because of this bastard's drunken talk. I didn't expect to see it today.

Gu Yunli frowned, but still said, "Tell me about it."

——He held the Dragon King of the Pond high up, intending to spend a fortune to buy the horse's bones, but he didn't expect that he would end up holding himself back.

From now on, at the drinking table, it will be either me or him.

Upon hearing this, Chi Longwang became even more excited and said with a shameless face:

"Master Gu, my group of brothers are guarding the rivers, wells and ponds in Yong County. Our lives are very hard. Everyone knows that you have great magical powers. Can you show us a way forward?"

After he finished speaking, everyone secretly sighed, you guys really dare to make demands!

Is this a clear path?
This is a way to make money!
Who can easily give you wealth?

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Yunli, wanting to see how Lord Gu would respond.
I thought that Uncle Gu would probably just spend some money and let the matter go.

Upon seeing this, the inspector subconsciously shook his head slightly. It is true that the smaller the temple, the more evil spirits there are, and the shallower the pond, the more turtles there are!
They are all so short-sighted.

It’s difficult for me, my dear brother.

However, he also knew that this was the situation at the bottom of the Immortal Court.

The fewer incense sticks there are, the fiercer the fight will be. When they see an opportunity, they will fight for it at all costs.

Nie Tai is like this.

The same is true for Chi Longwang.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Yunli picked up the wine glass, put it to his lips, took a sip, and said:
"What a coincidence! I do have a job that I need someone to do, but it's extremely tedious and the benefits are minimal. Brother Long and all the brothers, are you willing to endure the hardship?"

Everyone looked surprised.

Is there really a way to make money?
Just listening to this description, doesn't it sound like a difficult and arduous job?
Upon hearing this, Chi Longwang almost didn't think twice and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes! Yes! We are willing to do whatever job that Gu Bogong recommends."

Everyone knows that being a god is good, but few know that gods also have troubles.

Especially for their water gods, although they have no shortage of incense, it is extremely limited. After paying the tribute, there is almost nothing left.

The gods of rivers and streams are still better, as the ferrymen and fishermen who rely on water for their livelihood always need to burn some incense to them.

If you are a member of the Well Dragon King, then it would be a very tough job.

Living in poverty in a small space, they only have a few sticks of incense to burn during the New Year and other festivals. Their lives are miserable.

Ever since the Dragon King of Dafangtang Pond got in touch with Gu Yunli, it seemed that the people under his command had lost a few incense sticks from him because of their worship of the Internet, but the incense sticks that Gu Yunli gave him were far more than what they had received in the past.

This made all his fellow sufferers extremely envious.

Now that I see that Uncle Gu is willing to show me the way, why should I be picky?
