People in the secular world loved money, but money was a divine thing. They could only sell their children in order to survive. Of course, as of now, Xuanyuan Kingdom's emperor, Chen Mo, could also be considered an enlightened ruler. The people were living and working in peace, but at the border, there were times of war and chaos.

Lord Duan was also a reader, and he only had an abnormal amount of love for paintings. However, in order to properly complete the task of the Empress, Sir Duan could only choose a few items from his past collection and send them over to her, before posting his card again.

This time, he didn't make Lord Duan wait for long. The head disciple of the Ghost Catcher Master invited Lord Duan to the back of the mountain for a chat. Yan Ming was obviously invited by his master. Lord Duan was overjoyed in his heart. This time, he finally gave it his all and succeeded. Thus, Lord Duan followed the head disciple of the Ghost Master to the back mountain.

The fragrant grass was luxuriant, the birds were chirping, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed in all directions. Beside the pavilion, there were a few wooden houses. Behind the houses, there was a large bamboo forest. Lord Duan did not expect that the place where the Ghost Catcher Master stayed in would be so refined when dealing with ghosts and demons. Lord Duan secretly praised him in his heart.

"Master, Lord Duan, I have invited you." When they arrived at the small pavilion, the head disciple of the Master Ghost Catcher shouted.

"Alright, go back! I will personally greet Lord Duan. " The head disciple bowed again and left. Lord Duan looked left and right, but he still did not see the Grand Master Ghost Catcher.

"Lord Duan, please come in." Please forgive this commoner for not being able to welcome you in person. " Only a strange sound could be heard coming from the wooden house in the middle of the room. Then, with a gust of cold wind, the door of the wooden house opened by itself.

At this moment, standing outside the door, Lord Duan no longer felt that the scenery and environment here were beautiful. Lord Duan only felt that there was something strange leaking out of this place. It was as if Lord Duan felt that he could feel a slight chill down his spine.

"This Grandmaster Ghost Capture is truly worthy of his great fame." "Even the place they are staying at is so strange." After wiping off the sweat on his forehead, Lord Duan cleared his throat and walked in.

As Lord Duan entered the wooden house, he instantly felt waves of a dark and gloomy aura. Then, he saw a man dressed in black sitting on a bed right in front of him. There weren't many decorations in the house.

"Lord Duan, please take a seat!" Lord Duan did not see the Master Ghost Catcher speak, but he still heard the Master Ghost Catcher's voice.

Master Duan found something that looked like a stool and sat down.

"Lord Duan, this commoner's place is a little more simple and crude than any other place. Please forgive me. " Master Ghost Catcher suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Lord Duan. Lord Duan only felt as if his soul was instantly swallowed by darkness. However, following a clear cough that came from the other side, Lord Duan felt as if he had returned to this wooden house.

How strange! Lord Duan patted his chest and then looked at the Ghost Master opposite him. He felt that there was a trace of strangeness on that person's seemingly ordinary face.

"This guy is neither human nor ghost!" It wasn't easy for Lord Duan to meet a Ghost Master, but he was also frightened. His mood became worse, and even Lord Duan, who had been reading the Book of Virtue for a long time, could not help but curse.

"It's fine, it's fine. Master Ghost Capture, actually, I specially visited the Master this time in hopes that he could serve the court and follow me to the palace. To help the imperial harem ascend the altar and clear my mind of the wrongdoings of evil spirits and sinister auras. I wonder what master thinks? " Lord Duan carefully sized up the expression of the Ghost Master before asking.

"This commoner has lived in seclusion here for ten years, and the affairs of the sect have been entrusted to this commoner's three good-for-nothing disciples. Senior Duan has requested for me many times, and also has the emperor's orders on his person. Logically speaking, this commoner should be duty-bound, but …? " It was rare to see a trace of an expression on the Ghost Catcher Master's face, and it finally looked a little more normal this way.

"Actually, the reason I'm able to find Master here is all because of his reputation. That is why I have repeatedly requested for your assistance, Master. " Lord Duan suddenly changed directions.

"Indeed, when Grandmaster Ghost Catcher heard Lord Duan's words, a trace of a smile appeared on his face." Actually, the reason the Grandmaster set up his mountain on the Evil Warding Mountain is to make it easier for the common people. After all, the people around here all respect the matters of the Gods and the Ghost, and since Grandmaster is proficient in the techniques of the Gods, you should be able to come and help us. " Lord Duan saw the turn of events and continued speaking.

"Yes!" The Ghost Master answered, but did not agree.

"Master, in truth, the imperial harem of a country holds the most hidden impurities and is known to the world. It is a rare opportunity for the current Emperor to grant such a favor. I also hope that, for the sake of the common people, the Emperor can send someone to repair the monastery and donate a large amount of money. If the name of the master increases, there will definitely be more commoners who will come to trouble the master, and the master has done a great service. "

Even though Lord Duan had been in the imperial court for a long time, he was still an old fox. He could tell that the Ghost Master before him was kind to the commoners and valued his reputation.

"Alright! "Lord Duan said that it was indeed like that. Although this Penniless Priest's aura is extremely dense all day, he hopes to be able to help even more commoners. As for the matter of fame and fortune, this Penniless Priest does not place it in his eyes."

"It would be weird if you didn't think much of it!" Lord Duan added in his heart.

"Then, I would like to ask Grandmaster to prepare a bit. After I notify the palace, you will be invited to enter together with me in a few days." After saying his piece, Lord Duan cupped his hands in farewell.

After a very long time, the Ghost Master took off his black clothes and changed into a set of common clothes. He then walked to a small pavilion outside the wooden house and took a look at his surroundings.

"I have finally found a chance to enter the palace! Father, mother, you can rest in peace! " Master Ghost Catcher sighed and then stood there for a very long time.

The Golden-purple City was like a prison. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a paradise, with endless delicacies and endless amounts of beautiful women's money.

However, they did not know that the moment they entered the palace gates were as deep as the sea. Since the ancient emperor was ruthless, the inner palace was not as perfect as they had imagined. The inside was even darker and dirtier than outside.

It was a common sight to fight openly and secretly. It could be said that every step of the way was filled with fear and trepidation. However, countless people were like moths to a flame, trying their best to enter this place.

It was just that it seemed that Ghost Master didn't enter the palace for the sake of wealth and honor.

The next morning.

"The Emperor has arrived." Little Treasure's unique voice rang out once again.

Inside the Forbidden City, deep within the imperial palace, a hundred officials kowtowed as they kowtowed to the Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen, who sat silently on a dragon throne.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Everyone, please rise." The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, faintly smiled as he lightly said.

"Thank you, your majesty." The officials all stood up respectfully.

"A few days ago, the Empress proposed to us that we invite the strange people in the people who pray for blessings and avoid calamities to enter the imperial harem to clean away the baleful Yin energy that had accumulated in the harem. In addition, a few days ago, we dealt with a group of corrupt officials, causing everyone to be anxious. That's why we agreed to it. " Emperor Xuan Yuan Chen said with a smile.

"The Emperor is a wise and scheming man. He is the enlightened ruler of the times. He can definitely be remembered in the annals of history. His name will be known throughout the ages, and he will be revered by all future generations."

"The Emperor is an eternally enlightened sovereign. He has never existed before, never to be seen in the future. He established the foundation of immortality and achieved unparalleled fame. We were fortunate enough to be subjects of a hundred generations … a hundred generations of blessings …"

All of a sudden, the officials began to cheer for him. Their beautiful words had ended. Everyone was sighing at the unparalleled talent of the Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan, Chen Mo. One could only sigh in joy.

"Hahahahaha …" The Son of Heaven, Xuanyuan Chen, laughed heartily. He was overjoyed as he shouted, "Good! "I shall invite the officials to watch the ceremony and celebrate the glory of my family!"

"Thank you, my lord." The officials shouted and kowtowed.

Then, Xuanyuan Chen nodded to Little Treasure. Little Treasure took a step forward after he understood. "Lord Duan went to great lengths to invite a strange person to preside over this grand ceremony. The Emperor feels greatly gratified. After leaving the court, please go to the imperial study.

"Thank you, my lord." Lord Duan emerged from the crowd and kowtowed to express his gratitude. Then, he stood up and respectfully retreated.

With a clear cough, Little Treasure's unique voice rang out once more, "If there's anything to say, start it. If there's nothing else to say, then leave the court." Seeing that the officials were silent, Xuanyuan Chen Mo stood up and left.
