After completing all of this, the Qian family's old house returned to its original state. The gloomy feeling was gone, and it was also less eerie.
Tie Zhu woke up from his infatuation at the right time, holding his weapon and vigilantly looking around. He even asked Jiang Wen if he had discovered any ghosts, saying he wanted to act on behalf of Heaven.
Jiang Wen naturally made up a reason to deceive him, and then he went with him to find Master Qian to get the money.
When Master Qian heard that the ghosts in the old house had been eliminated, a surprised expression appeared on his face. He hurriedly rushed to the old house, looking at the empty old house with a dazed expression. The huge locust tree that stood in the courtyard had disappeared, replaced by a large pit.
"Immortal Master, where is the tree?" Master Qian asked with a trembling voice.

"After this humble Taoist subdued the ghost, this tree disappeared without a trace. This matter is indeed strange," Jiang Wen said, feigning regret.
"This…" Master Qian hesitated, and Tie Zhu, who was beside him, couldn't stand it anymore.
He waved his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and said to Master Qian, "I say, Master Qian, you wouldn't be thinking of not paying, would you? We brothers risked our lives and finally managed to eliminate the ghost. Take a look, how ferocious this ghost was."
As he spoke, Tie Zhu picked up the wooden puppet that had been charred by the thunder fire and shouted loudly at Master Qian. Seeing this, Master Qian naturally knew that these two were not easy to provoke. Moreover, the other party had indeed completed the reward and exorcised the ghosts in the courtyard. It was just that the result was not as he had imagined, but there was nothing he could do about it.
As for the Qian family…
That True Person Tai Xuan lost his life at the hands of these people, and Jiang Wen really didn't like them very much. If he had been more decisive at the beginning, he might have been able to save True Person Tai Xuan.
"They are truly ungrateful people. We helped them get rid of the ghosts, but we didn't expect to be treated like this," Tie Zhu said angrily. He kicked the gate of the Qian mansion and turned to look at Jiang Wen.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he took out a book from his storage bag and handed it to Tie Zhu: "I happen to have a real Mohist here. Would you be willing to become a disciple?"
The situation that the Qian family had set up was also related to this, and they were probably inseparable from it.
"It's time to find Yun Chang and Mo Xiang and the others. I don't know if they are safe," Jiang Wen touched Yan Gongli's waist on his back and subconsciously straightened her. This young lady was indeed powerful, her legs wrapped around his waist and couldn't be loosened no matter what, which had the meaning of a 'seven-day lock' of unbreakable love.
Jiang Wen had gotten used to it in the past two days, so he didn't find it troublesome. It was just that seeing the person behind him shrinking day by day, he didn't know what to say.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is," Jiang Wen laughed loudly. "Your Mohism is quite interesting."
"For my Mohism, you must abide by the ten agreements. If you can, then I will accept you as a disciple; if you can't, then you have no fate," Jiang Wen said with a smile.
This large sum of money made Master Qian's heart ache, and he drank several bowls of herbal medicine while instructing people to prepare it. Jiang Wen took the gold and put it into his storage bag. As soon as he walked out of the Qian mansion gate, he heard the 'creak' of the gate closing. It seemed that Master Qian couldn't wait for them to leave and wasn't even willing to see them off.
"You little brat." Jiang Wen felt quite comfortable when he heard this, and he understood Tie Zhu's character. He unceremoniously accepted the three thousand taels of gold and then patted Tie Zhu on the shoulder. "You have a bright future."
"Of course I am willing!" Tie Zhu said with great joy.
Jiang Wen stood on high and glanced at the lights of the Qian family. He knew that this was the Qian family's last peace. Those who intercept luck will eventually be backlashed. The Qian family's end is self-evident, and it will probably be even more tragic than he imagined.
From other people's mouths, one can learn that Suzhou City gathers a million people, and the commercial exchanges are prosperous. The waterways are well-developed, and two large rivers meet in front of Suzhou City, forming a dense network of land and water transportation.
Yangzhou is one of the six states in the South, and its commercial prosperity ranks among the top. The six states in the South are Xu, Yang, Yi, Guang, Qing, and Wei. Jingxu Mountain and Taicang City are located in Qingzhou.
"Then thank you for your kind words, Brother Jiang."
"Are those who cut off luck those people?" Jiang Wen thought of Marquis Pingnan, and then he thought of the two masked men he had encountered outside Taicang City. They both seemed to be preparing to subvert the Great Qian.
After determining his next destination, Jiang Wen walked along the official road towards Suzhou City. This time, he did not travel by sword, but planned to mingle with the crowd to avoid some things.
After all, such a big thing had happened to the Qian family, and the giant tree that those people had planned was uprooted by him. Although he didn't know who they were, how could the other party let it go?
Therefore, Suzhou City is also a place with developed information exchange and prosperous commercial exchanges. There are many people there, and if Li Yun Chang took Mo Xiang and the others to hide there, it would probably be difficult for Marquis Pingnan to find them.
"Please rest assured, Brother Jiang, I will definitely live up to these ten Mohist agreements," Tie Zhu said seriously.
"This disciple is willing. Not to mention ten agreements, this disciple is willing to abide by even a hundred agreements!" Where would Tie Zhu be willing to give up this opportunity? Being able to enter the Immortal Sect was something that many people couldn't even imagine.
"Very good, then listen carefully. The ten Mohist agreements: first, universal love. Love each other and benefit each other. Second, non-aggression…"
With a flattering smile on his face, Tie Zhu's tall body hunched down. He reached out and took out a wooden box and handed it to Jiang Wen: "Brother Jiang, this is three thousand taels of gold, which is a small token of my appreciation. I know that if it weren't for Brother Jiang saving me in that courtyard, not to mention these five thousand taels of gold, I wouldn't even have five taels to live for."
If it were an ordinary person, it would be necessary to travel by water from Yangzhou to Qingzhou. It would take ten and a half months to travel by boat.
Although Yangzhou is not large, it is prosperous everywhere. The largest city is Suzhou, which is the first-class commercial capital in the South.
"To be honest, which sect is your Mohism from?" Jiang Wen asked curiously. He had always been interested in Tie Zhu's sect. After all, it was the Mohism, one of the hundred schools in his world that advocated benevolence and non-aggression.
Tie Zhu was immediately grateful again, and finally left with thanks. He told Jiang Wen that he would definitely spread the Mohist ideology to the world. Jiang Wen didn't have too high expectations for this matter. He was just very curious whether the Mohist ideology in the present world could be spread here.
Jiang Wen finished speaking about the ten major propositions of the Mohism, and the kneeling Tie Zhu sincerely became his disciple.
He handed the secret manual to Tie Zhu, instructing him to adhere to the ten Mohist agreements in the future. If he knew that Tie Zhu had violated his oath, he would chase after him and kill him even if it meant going through mountains of knives and seas of fire.
"Very good, the leader of the Mohist generation is Mozi. Now that the Mohism has withered, since you are a Mohist disciple, don't call yourself Tie Zhu anymore. Change your name to Mozi," Jiang Wen waved his hand and changed Tie Zhu's name.
In the end, he had no choice but to fulfill his promise, and each person offered five thousand taels of gold.
"Where is there any Mohism? It was all made up by this little brother," Tie Zhu said with a bitter face. "It's just that I borrowed the name to make a living. I accidentally saw in a book something about the Mo Xiang family, so I took the two words 'Mohism'."
However, Tai Xuan took the lead in sending him out, presumably with a determined will. Thinking of the matter entrusted by True Person Tai Xuan, Jiang Wen decided to help Li Yun Chang first and then fulfill Tai Xuan's last wish.
Thinking like this, he unknowingly walked until it was dark.
All around were wide open fields, and only the tavern in the distant mountain village was still lit. Jiang Wen hurried over, preparing to stay overnight, but he didn't expect to be driven out as soon as he stepped into the tavern.
"Guest, you can't stay here overnight. You should leave quickly, or you'll lose your life."
