Chapter 47(1/2)
Someone is coming
The three of them were silent for a long time. Liu Yuxiu suddenly smiled and said, "It was Liu who was offended today."
When Zhang Buyi heard this, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he smiled and said: "It's okay, it must be a poor Taoist, and he shouldn't be so harsh."
"It was me who ruined Taoist Priest's opportunity. I deserve it. I can't blame Taoist Priest. Taoist Priest is already magnanimous." Seeing this, Zhang Shuming immediately changed his attitude.
"Then we won't bother you anymore today." Liu Yuxiu was about to leave as he spoke.
"No!" Zhang Buyi did not do anything to persuade him to stay.
As soon as the three of them saluted, Liu Yuxiu and Zhang Shuming jumped up and wanted to leave the courtyard.
"By the way, since Magistrate Liu is here, could you please do me a little favor?" Zhang Buyi suddenly remembered something.
"What are you busy with?" Liu Yuxiu stopped and asked.
"Half a month ago, when I was on the run, I was saved by a man who risked my life, and I was able to escape. At that time, I promised him that if I could survive, I would take care of his descendants and accept him as my disciple.
But I was busy at the time and didn't give out much information. I only knew that my name was: Wang Yuanlu. He should be from Massachusetts. He is not very old, no more than ten years old at most. Could you please help the prefect to find him?
"
Zhang Buyi's words are generally reasonable, but there are many loopholes. After all, if you really have to explain how to take care of your descendants, how can you give such vague information? It is obviously difficult to find someone.
Liu Yuxiu did not raise any questions, but nodded and said: "I will pay attention to it!"
"Then I'd like to thank you, Lord Magistrate. I'll be grateful to you later." Zhang Buyi immediately replied.
Liu Yuxiu looked at Zhang Buyi and said, "Thank you. If I really want to help you find someone, I hope the Taoist will remember what I said tonight."
After saying this, Liu Yuxiu said no more and left the courtyard after a few ups and downs.
······
"Sir, there is definitely something wrong with this Taoist priest. Since you are here, my lord, why don't you just take him back for questioning?" Zhang Shuming said in confusion.
Liu Yuxiu shook his head and answered the question: "Do you know what sword cultivation is?"
Zhang Shuming nodded, then shook his head and said, "I've heard that one of the main streams of ancient immortality, together with Tiansuan and Shudao, is called the three main streams of immortality."
"Then do you know that during the heyday of ancient immortality, sword cultivators were all very famous and capable of killing enemies beyond their levels?" Liu Yuxiu replied.
"Sir, you are a top-level Juren, and you are blessed by the power of humanity in Massachusetts. This swordsman can't be so defiant as to kill you, can he?" Zhang Shuming replied speechlessly.
"That's probably not the case, but I'm not sure I'll keep him. And the other party should indeed be Taoist Master Zhengsong. He must have been blind before.
Unexpectedly, Qingyu Temple not only has the inheritance of Talisman, but also the inheritance of swordsmanship. No wonder it once became famous in the capital of Shu and became a famous Taoist temple in Bashu.
And... the other party's style these days, if it really is Huang Tiandao, it cannot be the same person." Liu Yuxiu said with a solemn expression.
"Then what should we do? Just watch him make trouble like this? It's okay if he is really worried about the country and the people. If he wants to gain fame and cause trouble...
Nowadays, fighting with foreigners along the coast is already chaotic enough. In the past few days, news has spread from above that several groups of stragglers who never set on the country have broken into the interior and are causing chaos everywhere.
Over there in Willow Creek Town, there is something wrong. If foreigners really break into Massachusetts on a small scale, then Qingyu Temple will cause trouble again..."
When Zhang Shuming said this, his brows were deeply furrowed and he did not continue.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it first. Whether it's a person or a ghost, if you keep an eye on it for a while, you can always get some clues." Liu Yuxiu replied.
Hearing this, Zhang Shuming didn't have any better opinions or words.
·······
In the yard, Zhang Buyi let out a long sigh of relief after watching several people leave.
"My dear, you're a serious Confucian cultivator who is doing a real job. Fortunately, you didn't do anything. Otherwise, you'd have to shed your skin even if you don't die."
While whispering, Zhang Buyi looked at the messy state of the yard and shook his head. It's so late today. Let his cheap apprentice clean it up tomorrow.
It just so happens that this little fat guy should lose weight. In this world, you can get fat, but you don't want to!
Back in the room, Zhang Buyi lay on the bed and had time to read the information in his mind.

······
The surging power let Zhang Buyi know that he had become a senior apprentice and that he could continue to advance even before he reached the top. This was a good thing.
Zhuge Ming's popular science knowledge shows that the higher the level of apprenticeship, the higher the possibility of advancement! And for himself, who can use his destiny to break through, this is almost all good news.
In addition to his cultivation, half a month of exploration allowed him to increase his value by 14% even though his compatibility only dropped by 2%. Although it was not much, it at least showed that he had found the right direction.
Zhang Buyi was on the bed again, arranging the harvest for a long time, and after roughly figuring it out, he fell asleep.
······
The next day, Zhang Buyi got up early in the morning, but Qingfeng was still arranging his clothes and waiting for him to wash up.
"Master, Master..." The little fat Zhu Taifeng hurried in.
"How unbecoming are you for making such noises so early in the morning?" Zhang Buyi scolded Zhuang Zhengsong with a straight face and his usual serious tone.
The little fat man froze when he heard this, his words stuck in his throat. Zhang Buyi looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"
"Commenter Mao is here for us to watch!" the little fat man said eagerly: "We are already watching outside. There is such a big group of people!"
"Except Member Mao?" Zhang Buyi asked doubtfully.
"It's the richest man in Massachusetts, Mao Chengfu, Mao Yuanwai!" The little fat man said a little excitedly: "Master, do you think this foreigner is here to offer incense? How much incense money will he add?"
Mao Chengfu, a legendary figure in Massachusetts City. He did not belong to a disciple of an aristocratic family. He started his fortune from his father, who made his fortune from rice grains and was a grain merchant.
After he took it into his hands, he began to get involved in daily catering and other industries. It seemed that he had learned some foreign business concepts. Many daily industries in Massachusetts have their shadow, and they have the appearance of an industrial chain.
It is nothing to a wealthy family, but to ordinary people, it is definitely considered a wealthy family.
The Mao family has been managed by two generations and has established a firm foothold in Massachusetts City. It can be considered that it has become rich suddenly.
Relevant information about the other party flashed through Zhang Buyi's mind. Seeing the little fat man's somewhat money-obsessed look, he reprimanded: "Look at your money-obsessed look. The Taoist title the old Taoist gave you back then is really blind!"
The little fat man's face stiffened again and he lowered his head.
Although Zhang Buyi scolded his apprentice on the surface, he roughly guessed what he was doing here. At this time, he was actually subconsciously thinking that such a rich man came to visit, so he wanted to pay a lot for sesame oil.
Well, these are all secondary, the main thing is to use the other party's way to find out the news about Wang Yuanlu!
Yes, he is a Taoist now, how could he be so vulgar!
"Your task today is to clean up the yard." Zhang Buyi looked at the little fat man in his thoughts and said.
"Ah?!" The little fat Zhu Taifeng was dumbfounded and said in confusion: "But master, why don't you find a bricklayer? The disciple doesn't know how to build a wall?"
"I cleaned it up when I asked you to do it. I didn't ask you to repair the yard. I'll find the bricklayers on my own." As he spoke, Zhang Buyi walked out. When he reached the door, he paused and said, "Qingfeng."
"Yes, Master!" Qingfeng replied immediately.
"Follow me, none of you are allowed to help him today." Zhang Buyi walked without turning his head and kept moving his feet.
"Oh!" Taoist boy Qingfeng looked at his senior brother and quickly followed Zhang Buyi.
Zhu Taifeng was left alone, staring at the messy yard in a daze. Did the master not like him anymore?
······
Zhang Buyi came to the front yard, and there were a lot of people stopped outside the Taoist temple. It was such a big group, including servants, maids, and servants.
In the past half month, Zhang Buyi also received many dignitaries from Massachusetts City. It was rare to see such a grand display. From the looks of it, it looked like the entire family was out in force.
After Zhang Buyi glanced at it, he ignored it and walked towards the main hall. After entering the hall, he was a little stunned.
Is the whole family really going out?
In the temple, a group of people were offering incense, which was about to be finished. The bright moon stood beside it. Although he was not old, he was already familiar with it after serving in Taoist temples for many years.
To be continued...
