Chapter 119
Various
After a long time, after everyone left the small courtyard, Zhang Bucheng's whole body was numb. "Master, is this the Xiaopoguan we are talking about? An idle Taoist priest?" After he came back to his senses, he first looked at him blankly.
Zhuang Zhengsong, the cheap master who suddenly appeared, asked this question.
Zhang Buyi nodded seriously and said: "That's right. Compared with the three Taoist temples of Taoism, Qingyu Temple is indeed not a grand temple. Even in Bashu, it is not considered the leader."
Zhang Bucheng: "·······"
I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about Xiao Po Guan!
Zhang Buyi was teasing and ignored the old man who was confused all the time. With Zhuang Zhengsong's attitude, he arranged for the two of them to stay in the guest room in the courtyard for the time being.
······
It was not yet afternoon, to be precise, he had just entered the small courtyard for a while, and people began to come one after another at the entrance of Qingyu Temple. They were not ordinary people, and those who could come in after closing their eyes were not ordinary people.
The governor of Massachusetts, the local owner was in a state of chaos, and many people came to visit.
Qingyu Temple, as the leader of the Taoist sect in Massachusetts, rarely involves the secular world because of Chen Lianfang's instructions, but it is still involved.
Therefore, Zhang Buyi had no choice but to accept everyone one by one. Of course, not all of them would come forward. Except for a few who were of sufficient weight, the others who joined in the fun were all left to his disciples to deal with.
Among the people he met, the one who surprised Zhang Buyi the most was the Mao family, the family of Mao Chengfu, the richest man in Massachusetts at that time, whose whole family was poisoned by refined 'washing powder'.
Of course Mao Chengfu has passed away. What surprised Zhang Buyi was his son Mao Yingkun. In recent years, because the Mao family worshiped the Qingyu Temple, the reformers closely followed Chen Lianfang's orders and joined the new faction.
Therefore, not only did it not shake the Mao family’s status as the richest man, it also became a representative entrepreneur in Massachusetts, an emerging family, and a new era corporate benchmark set up by Massachusetts officials!
Not only was Mao Yingkun strongly supported by the imperial court, but he also found out about the professional system and embarked on the path of a professional, and it was also a profession passed down by foreigners: capitalist!
This is a high-end profession in the West today!
Zhang Buyi was very interested in this and learned a lot about it. Because Mao Yingkun had met Zhang Buyi since he was a child and under the influence of his father, he was extremely respectful to Zhang Buyi. He knew everything about Zhang Buyi's inquiries, even
The biggest secret and occupational diseases were all told.
······
In the afternoon, after finally dealing with the visitors, Zhang Buyi returned to the small courtyard again, entered the room, and opened the familiar secret room.
What disappointed him was that although there were a few more collections in it, they only supplemented the medical and immortal ways. As for the inheritance of level three or above, there was not a single one.
As for martial arts, I saw a few more books. Zhang Buyi integrated them into martial arts one by one. The martial arts inheritance has reached the same level as the other three, becoming a second-level top inheritance.
After asking about the reason, I found out that the Hongchen Palace in the capital of Shu belongs to the secret department of the Inspection Department, so things over the years have not been sent to Qingyu at will to avoid any bad excuses.
Zhang Buyi no longer worries about this. After all, he will go to the capital of Shu later. It won't be difficult to see some information secretly collected by Hongchen Palace, right?
······
Towards evening, a car sped into the Qingyu Temple.
It was Wang Yuanlu who received the news in the capital of Shu and hurried back immediately. After all, the last time the master came back, he missed it because of some things. This miss lasted more than thirty years.
All told, he had not seen Zhuang Zhengsong for seventy-nine years. Although he heard from Qingfeng and Mingyue that the master did not die after he left, but had other opportunities, he had not seen the real person after all!
As one of the victims of Liuxi Town that year, he saw with his own eyes the scene where Zhuang Zhengsong made three wishes to save Mazhou from the brink of death. He had admiration for his master, but more importantly, he worshiped him like a goal in life.
It has a hero worship plot!
So as soon as he received the news this time, he put down everything in his hands and hurried back.
After Wang Yuanlu and Liu Ruiheng got out of the car, they went straight to the small courtyard where Zhuang Zhengsong belonged to the inner courtyard with an uneasy feeling.
When the two of them entered the familiar courtyard, Wang Yuanlu was shocked and froze in place.
Under the setting sun, in the small courtyard, a figure was sitting at the small stone table under the clouds, quietly sipping tea, quiet, indifferent, and enjoying himself, with an outstanding temperament, just like a legendary immortal.
The golden sunset shone on him, putting him in a golden suit. His face, which had not changed at all for decades, seemed to come out of Wang Yuanlu's deepest memory, and slowly became vivid, making the sacred figure more and more vivid.
Somewhat popular.
The figure was sipping tea and waiting for something.
When they stepped into the courtyard, they noticed each other and looked up. That extremely familiar face, with the same gentle smile as always, had occupied almost half of his childhood.
That is the goal he has never changed over the years, the savior immortal in Massachusetts, his heroic master!
"It's Yuanlu who's back!" Zhuang Zhengsong smiled and beckoned: "What are you doing standing around here? Come here quickly. We haven't seen you for so many years. Don't you recognize me as your master?"
After Wang Yuanlu heard this, he came back to his senses slightly, calmed down his violent mood, came to Zhang Buyi, and respectfully said: "Disciple Yuanlu, I have met my master!"
Liu Ruiheng, who came with him on the side, also quickly greeted him and said: "Disciple Liu Ruiheng, I have met the great master!"
"Everyone is free of charge!" As Zhang Buyi spoke, he first looked at Wang Yuanlu. Traveling through four eras, apart from Zhou Shuren, Wang Yuanlu was the most talented one.
Now eighty years later, he has also reached the third level, but it is not high. He is only the fourth or fifth level of the third level. Due to the gap in cultivation, Zhang Buyi cannot tell clearly at a glance.
Then he turned his head and looked at Liu Ruiheng. This child had become somewhat taciturn due to his experience in the dungeon as a child, and his personality was sinister and restrained. He was even known as the Poison Devil in Shu.
Fortunately, he was given timely guidance and his behavior has not gone to extremes, so he can be considered a good person!
As for poison demons and so on... is killing Japanese pirates considered a demon?
Sorry, he doesn't hide his double standards in this regard. If you let him judge, he will give you the title of Poison Saint and give you a banner with big red flowers!
All in all, forty years have passed. His cultivation has reached the peak of his first rank and he can reach his second rank at any time. He is presumably accumulating spiritual power.
The two of them have also transformed from the teenagers they were when they parted, to a middle-aged man. Of course, Wang Yuanlu was fixed at this age because he broke through the second level, but he will probably not change for many years if he lives to be 300 years old.
.
"This is Ruiheng. It's really good to have someone with the temperament of your master mention you to me many times!" Zhang Buyi looked at Liu Ruiheng and said with a smile.
In Liu Ruiheng's cold eyes, a rare strong emotion flashed through his eyes, and then he suppressed it again, saying: "Master, is he really okay?"
Zhang Buyi nodded and said: "The injury back then was a bit troublesome, but Uncle Qin, your master and I have experienced a lot of life and death, so the injury is not helpless!"
"That's good, that's good!" Liu Ruiheng replied.
"Master, why didn't Uncle Chen come back with you?" Wang Yuanlu also interjected at this moment and asked.
If Zhuang Zhengsong is the master and hero idol of the children in Qingyu Guan, then Chen Lianfang is the uncle who is most like an adoptive father among the children, because they were raised and taught by Chen Lianfang.
"Your uncle, he has some things that he hasn't finished yet. He won't look back until some time later!" As he spoke, Zhang Buyi stretched out his hands and said, "Sit down, everyone is no longer the age of the little kid before. No need."
So stuck."
Wang Yuanlu wanted to say something after hearing this, but Liu Ruiheng sat down directly and unceremoniously. He glared at the junior brother and then sat down.
"Tell me how you met and went together?" Zhang Buyi asked while taking a cup of tea.
Wang Yuanlu and Liu Ruiheng looked at each other, and finally Wang Yuanlu said: "This is interesting to say. Back then, Junior Brother Liu and Senior Uncle Du were, well, fifth Senior Uncle Du Xin."
"Du Xinwu is also with you?" Zhang Buyi said in surprise.
"Master, do you also know Master Du?" Wang Yuanlu paused and asked with the same surprise. You know, according to Du Xinwu's words, it seems that he does not know their master, but only Master Chen.
"Well, I have some impressions of the Du family, but I have never been in contact with them. I originally received news that their clan was exterminated. Who would have thought? Later, your Master Chen said that they met once in Mianzhou, so he told me something."
Zhang Buyi explained.
"So that's it!" Wang Yuanlu continued: "It was that time in Mianzhou. I heard from Master Du and Junior Brother Liu that the uncle used the pseudonym of a young doctor and pretended to be a hot-blooded young man to carry out an assassination in Mianzhou.
I was still surprised at that time!”
"Haha, that's your uncle who is living in the world of mortals. He is too forgetful and still has to go to the last step. He said he is going to survive some kind of tribulation! Speaking of this, I am also curious, what kind of tribulation is he going to survive?
I asked him several times, but he kept silent. There are very few things he has not told me over the years!" Zhang Buyi asked with interest.
Wang Yuanlu was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at each other with Liu Ruiheng. The two of them tacitly chose to skip this question. The gossip of elders is not something that can be discussed casually, let alone talking to another elder.
"Ahem!" Wang Yuanlu coughed, decisively changed the subject, returned to the previous topic, and continued:
"After Uncle Master was injured and left, Master Du took Junior Brother Liu to the Shu capital. The two of them were not the masters of peace and quiet. After practicing for several years, they started to make trouble in the Shu capital as soon as they had some strength.
According to your instructions, Master, Uncle Chen led us to build hidden stakes in Shudu for several years. When Junior Brother Liu and others came, we had already mastered most of the intelligence in the secrets of Shudu. Therefore, he turned into a poison doctor and poisonous people.
