In the 54th year of Kangxi, in 1715 AD.

This year was an extremely dull year in Chinese history books, and the only event worth recording. However, Emperor Kangxi ordered Fu Ning'an to go to the western frontier to participate in the struggle to quell the separatist forces of Cewang Arabtan. In addition, the world can be considered peaceful and healthy in general. However, few people know that in places where history books cannot record, some stories that determine the fate of mankind are being quietly staged.

Around the New Year, a cold current swept across most areas north of the Yellow River. Mongolia, Zhili, Shandong and other provinces suffered snow disasters one after another, and livestock died in many places. For a time, the celestial phenomena were frequent and famine was coming, and people became more and more anxious.

In the night sky of Jinan, snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell over the sky and fell quietly in the dark place. Only when they met the red light of the lanterns under the eaves of the Gaofu house showed a swelling.

In a side room in Gao Mansion, the skinny Gao Man stared at his eyes that were white due to fear, and lay on the bed with sweat. An elderly man in Taoist robe sat on a wooden bench beside the bed, lit up with blue light, his right palm spread out, and some ring-shaped object was rotating from the air.

Gao Yuanshang exclaimed in anger: "It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable...Taixu Zhenren, tell me, am I dying? Cough cough..."

The person with blue light was Jin Wuyu. He looked at Gao Yuanwai's pale face expressionlessly and asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid of death?"

Gao Yuanwai groaned, "I'm afraid... I've done too many bad things before I die. I'll go to hell if I die... Master Jin, please save me. As long as I can get through this level, I will... I will definitely... I will clear my heart and disperse my family's wealth!"

Jin Wuyu chuckled lightly, did not respond, but just continued to do it on his own. Shaoqing, Gao Yuanwai coughed even harder, and even made non-human voices. The three wives and four concubines who had been waiting outside the room were extremely anxious. Someone couldn't help but shout, "Master Jin, what's wrong with his husband? Can I come in?"

Jin Wuyu shouted: "I said that no one is allowed to come in! Don't worry, your husband will be fine soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yuanwai's mouth suddenly grew bigger, and then a fist-sized bug crawled out of his mouth! The bug was dark red all over, and his body was twisted like countless maggots, and it kept wriggling and emitted a flash of red light, making it difficult to distinguish the head, tail and limbs.

However, since the insect crawled out of Gao Yuanwai's mouth, Gao Yuanwai felt extremely comfortable, and all struggles and moans stopped, leaving only his rapid and refreshing breathing after vigorous exercise.

Jin Wuyu stopped doing things, pinched the insect in his hand, and explained to Gao Yuanwai: "This insect is called 杜的, which is recorded in ancient books in your country. It is a kind of insect monster who loves carrying things. Although the things it carries are getting heavier, it will not stop even if it is exhausted. Gao Yuanwai will not be born in ordinary people. It is because you have been greedy for many years that such monsters have grown in your body. This is the reason why you have lost appetite and are weak and sickly all year round. Although I have eliminated it now, if you continue your luxurious style in the past, it will soon come to your body again."

After saying that, Jin Wuyu exerted force in his hand and ruthlessly shook the slut into pieces.

Gao Yuanwai sighed: "I understand, Master Jin, I still have 100 taels of gold in my family. I will only leave a small part for household use, and you will take it away!"

That night, Jin Wuyu held a silver note that could be exchanged for 100 taels of gold and walked out of Gao Mansion with a swagger, and walked into the flying snow. When he went out, he still shouted: "Wine is poison to penetrate the intestines, color is a steel knife to scrape the bones. Wealth is a tiger down the mountain, and energy is the root of trouble-hahaha."

...

Two days later, in the wild mountains of Pujiazhuang, after Pu Songling and Jin Wuyu competed with martial arts, the two had a chat on the yellow soil.

Pu Songling asked, "I heard that you have cured Gao Yuanwai's chronic disease for many years in Jinan, right?"

Jin Wuyu said: "This is indeed the case."

Pu Songling sighed, "Yes, although you and I are both infinity-based purifying messengers, my ability can only determine the good and evil of the monster in the next life, but your ability can transform the monster's life, which really makes me admire you."

Jin Wuyu said modestly: "What do you mean by Mr. Liu Quan? After I entered the Wuchengjing, although the holy objects could command monsters, they were limited to one wild monster. There was no way to go to Pujiazhuang again. This is why I went to Pujiazhuang again. I hope to further improve my strength and transform the most powerful Pisces jade pendant, so that all the wild monsters in the world would obey my orders to break the demonic power of the Taixu Crystal."

"So that's it..." Pu Songling smiled and said, "You have such lofty ambitions. This is the reason why you call yourself "Taixu Zhenren"?"

Jin Wuyu also smiled: "Seventeen years ago, I have had this intention since I set foot on your country's land and seek the Tao. Over the past 17 years, I have visited Pujiazhuang seven times and achieved valuable growth every time. I think that in another one or two, the goal will be achieved."

"It's a pity that I'm old, and you're over ten years younger than me. This time I'm afraid it's the last time I'll talk with you. The rest of the road depends on you." Pu Songling pointed to the shadowy mountains in the distance and said, "Now, Ge Duo is on the other side of the mountain, so he must be for my heart, but I'm no longer able to destroy him."

Jin Wuyu said in a daze: "I heard that Liu Quan lay Buddhist at his peak, even Ge Duo on the full moon night is not your opponent. His strength is comparable to the legendary Huangdi and the goddess of Xiaoyue. Why has it declined to such a level now?"

"On the one hand, I'm old, and on the other hand, I'm spending my whole life creating a secret book, wanting to make Shuqing become a human being. In this way, my vitality will be greatly damaged."

After hearing this, Jin Wuyu couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that the 'strongest purifier in history' can't escape the joy of beans and waters in the world in the end."

Pu Songling smiled but did not answer, and said with a look around and said, "I also heard that Mr. Gao gave you 100 taels of gold to thank you, right?"

Jin Wuyu snorted coldly: "Yes, compared to his life, these yellow and white things are just dirt. Of course, they are different for us. If you need them, you can also take some and enjoy a good life."

Pu Songling laughed and said, "I haven't had much time left. What's the use of using this money?"

Jin Wuyu said in a daze: "Don't Mr. Liu Quan have four sons? And your adopted daughter Chen Shuqing... Why? Even if you don't care, you haven't thought about leaving anything for them?"

Pu Songling gave Jin Wuyu a meaningful smile and asked back, "I said, "Taixu Zhenren, you were not a person who loved money in the past. 'Fundament is a tiger going down the mountain' is also the words you often say. Why does this time I came to Shandong and seem to have become a different person?"

Jin Wuyu was stunned for a moment, then said to himself: "I not only love money, but also think that a hundred taels of gold is too little, which is not enough."

"What's the point of you want that much money?"

"Someone has money but no life to spend. I am able to buy his life for him. Why don't I make a fortune?" Jin Wuyu looked at Pu Songling's slightly contemptuous eyes and turned to smile, "Okay, I was just talking and joking. In fact, I have a big, but very immature idea that requires a lot of money. It's really inconvenient to say it today. When the idea is mature in the future, I will tell you slowly."

The two of them were talking and laughing. I don’t know how long it took, but Pu Songling’s stomach was rumbling, and then he reacted and said, “Oh, no, chatting with you, time always passes quickly. Shuqing must have prepared delicious meals long ago and stood at the village head waiting for us to go back and eat.”

After saying that, Pu Songling quickly told Chen Shuqing through his thoughts that he would reply later. Then, the two of them rushed to Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio without saying much.
