Chapter 40 39: Clear all grudges and enter the gate of heaven again
Xuanzhen Temple, living room.
Zou Wu held the tea cup and fiddled with the lid absentmindedly, his thoughts having drifted to an unknown distance.
To be honest, he felt that what happened during this period, especially some things about Xuan Zhen Guan, was quite dreamy.
When the old Taoist Xuanzhen died, he immediately set his sights on Xuanzhenguan's fields and properties.
For this reason, he put a lot of effort into getting in touch with the Zhan family and gained control of Zhan Ji's Pharmacy, hoping to extort a fortune from it.
In his opinion, without Xuan Zhen, the few disciples he sat down with were just the ones who could be rounded and flattened by others.
He had no idea of the five hundred acres of fertile land, he just wanted some money, which was definitely not excessive.
It's a pity that after he really set up the battle, he realized that the little Taoist priest named Chu Zhou didn't seem to be as simple as he thought.
Whether he should say anything or not, he was a cautious person. After he did not take advantage of his words, he was ready to wait and see for a while.
He believed that there were more than just one or two people who had their mind set on Xuanzhen Guan. He couldn't eat fat, but he could still drink some soup.
Then...
There will be no more!
First, Xue Nu of the Xue family committed suicide, and then the Iron Gun Martial Arts Hall stood up for Xuan Zhen Temple. After a series of actions, Zou Wu was surprised to find that Xuan Zhen Temple seemed unable to move.
However, at this point in time, it seems to be nothing.
If you can't move, then you can't move. At worst, the water in the well will not interfere with the water in the river.
But what happened next made him uneasy.
Xuanzhen Temple was attacked, and twenty or thirty people died. It is said that the corpses were piled up on the donkey cart; then the Xue family was attacked by strongmen, and even the county magistrate had his neck broken.
This is nothing, at least Zou Wu didn’t react at that time,
But later, when the Xue family was besieged and all the families, martial arts schools, and even the government offices took action, he finally broke out in a cold sweat.
Especially after he found the way to the master's book through his connections and learned some "inside information" about Xuan Zhen Guan, he became even more uneasy.
After working on it for a long time, what he provoked was not an ant that could be easily crushed to death, but a tiger pretending to be an ant.
Then, there was this line today.
Just when Zou Wu was distracted, Chu Zhou walked in from the back door. He didn't make a sound, but quietly reached the top position. After sitting down, he looked at Zou Wu with interest.
Perhaps feeling the gaze, Zou Wu raised his head slightly.
scare!
With just one glance, he jumped up in shock and threw the cup in his hand.
However, he reacted faster, and before the cup fell to the ground, he leaned down and took the cup in his hand.
The hot tea poured on his hand, but he didn't seem to feel anything.
Chu Zhou's eyes narrowed and he smiled and said, "Master Zou Wu's skills are quite impressive!"
Zou Wu straightened up, put the tea cup on the tea table aside, and said: "The superficial methods are not worthy of praise from Taoist Master Chu. Compared with Taoist Master Chu, who is silent under his feet and bullies me within one foot, I am ignorant and unaware." It’s a really good thing.”
"Do you really think this is a good thing on my part, rather than a lack of focus on your part?"
Chu Zhou said such a compliment without giving the other party a chance to defend himself, and said directly: "However, I am more curious, why did Master Zou Wu come to my Xuanzhen Temple today?
If I remember correctly, the accounts at Zhanji Pharmacy should have been settled, right? My Xuanzhen concept shouldn't be any less than yours, right? ”
A wry smile flashed across Zou Wu's face, and he stood up immediately, saying: "Before, it was me, Zou Wu, who had my eyesight but failed to recognize Taishan, and offended the Taoist priest. I came here today just to resolve this grudge."< br>
With that said, he took out a small wooden box from behind his back, opened it gently, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Chu Zhou.
Chu Zhou took a quick glance and saw that the things inside were quite familiar. First, there were silver ingots neatly stacked one by one, and then there was a deed placed in the corner.
He didn't seem to care, he just glanced at it and said, "Master Zou Wu, what is this?"
"In front of the Taoist priest, I dare not call myself master. From now on, just call me Zou Wu."
Zou Wu lowered his attitude to a very low level, even to the point of being humble. After a pause, he said: "There are three hundred taels of tattooed silver in it, which is not much, but our gang is not a family, so we really can't bring out more.
As for the deed, it belonged to Zhanji Pharmacy. From now on, Zhanji Pharmacy belonged to Xuanzhenguan.
I have kept all the apprentices, pharmacists, and shopkeepers inside, and the purchase channels are also complete.
Although it is not a big industry, with this pharmacy, it will be more convenient to pick up medicine, prepare medicine, cook it, and even collect some precious medicinal materials. ”
What he said really made Chu Zhougao look at Zou Wu.
The so-called gift-giving means either it is expensive or it suits the other person's heart.
This Zhanji Drug Store is nothing, but with complete purchase channels, Xuanzhen Temple really has a demand.
On the one hand, Xu Cheng is studying medicine. With this Zhanji Pharmacy, it is much more convenient for him to study and see a doctor.
On the other hand, the pills and medicinal baths used by their brothers for martial arts training were all very expensive.
It is a great benefit to have a safe place to prepare medicines and to obtain medicinal materials at lower prices.
In other words, this gift was truly delivered to Chu Zhou's heart.
After a pause, Chu Zhou said again: "Master Zou Wu has put so much thought into it, just to clear up the previous misunderstanding?"
Zou Wu nodded seriously and said: "That's why!"
Chu Zhou said again: "Is this style of behavior a little different from the gang members I imagined?"
"Haha, I have no control over other gangs, but the Sihai Gang is really just a group of fishermen hugging each other to keep warm. I, Zou Wu, am also the son of a fisherman.
All I think about and do is hope that the fishermen floating on the Baisha River can have something to eat and not be bullied. "These are really beautiful words, but how much can Chu Zhou believe it?!
However, he still looked moved, paused for a moment, and then said: "Now that we have said this, the previous misunderstanding ends here!"
"Thank you, Taoist Master Chu, for your magnanimity!"
After saying this, Zou Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He stood up and said, "In this case, we won't waste any more time. Zou Wu will leave now."
"Then I'll send Master Zou Wu off, please!"
"Although our Sihai Gang is not strong, we still have some manpower. If Master Chu has anything to do, just say hello."
"This is what you said. I take it seriously. If anything happens in the future, you will not be allowed to shirk it."
"But if you have an assignment, you will do your best."
It seemed that the past and future had really disappeared. Chu Zhou sent Zou Wu to the Zhenwu Hall before they parted ways.
However, he had just returned to the living room, picked up the deed and took a look at it, when he heard footsteps again.
But Fan Zhong came quickly again, and when he got close, he immediately said: "Master, Mr. Zhan of the Zhan family is here to visit!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "They really come one after another!"
……
The Zhan family is not considered a big family in Baisha City. It has a weak foundation and only started business twenty or thirty years ago. However, the Zhan family is engaged in the medicinal materials business.
Throughout Baisha City, the Zhan family has twenty-six drug stores, almost monopolizing 50% of the medicinal materials market.
Moreover, their business targets are not only patients, but also other pharmacies, martial arts schools, and even gangs.
In other words, their greatest strength is not selling medicines, but the channels for medicinal materials they have developed over the years.
The reason why the Zhan family was able to rise was due to the contribution of Mr. Zhan, not because he was good at fighting, but because he was a true medical master who had lived countless lives and had a wide network of contacts.
When Chu Zhou saw this person, he was also shocked. He was over a hundred years old, but he looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. He could walk, jump, and think clearly.
The purpose of his coming here was naturally the same as Zou Wu's, and he admitted it very bachelorly. At that time, someone in the family was interested in the fertile land of Xuanzhenguan, and he was persuaded by Zou Wu.
Later, when Xuan Zhen Guan gained momentum, he brought the matter to the attention of the old man.
Then, this 100-year-old man had no choice but to sacrifice his face and come to apologize.
And to make amends, there must naturally be an apology.
He not only gave five hundred taels of silver, but also a prescription for elixirs.
The elixir is called 'Zang-protecting elixir'. As the name suggests, it is used to protect the internal organs and is suitable for visceral martial arts practitioners.
In terms of effect, it is not necessarily better than the one in Chu Zhou's hands, but Mrs. Zhan has improved the prescription. It is more troublesome to brew and prepare the medicine, but the effect is milder and longer-lasting and less poisonous.
On Zou Wu's side, Chu Zhou gently let go. Naturally, he didn't say too many harsh words to the centenarian, so the grudges were settled!
After sending the old man away, Chu Zhou returned to the living room. He looked at the coins, pills and deeds in the two boxes and couldn't help but smile.
He turned his head, looked at Fan Zhong, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"What did the viewer say?"
"I once heard a saying, when you are strong, you are surrounded by good people!
Take a look, is it similar to the current situation? ”
……
On this day, Chu Zhou made a fortune, received great benefits, and settled his grudges. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction.
But his heart is no longer here.
On this day, the sun had just set, so he hurriedly ate dinner and then drove his junior brother back to sleep.
And he also went to bed early.
Of course, before going to bed, he moved all the secret books up there.
Needless to say, "Tiger Fist", "Crescent Moon Sword", and "Big Vajra Legs", as well as the newly obtained "Golden Scale Sword", "Collapsing Legs", "Various Steps", "Mountain Breaking Strike", "Wave Slash", "Ambush" Wave Sword", "Five Elements Chain Hand", "Blast of Wind Cutting Legs", etc.
Even the secret technique of "Five Ghost Transport" was thrown into bed by him.
When everything was done, the bed was covered with secret books. He lay on it in a large shape, hugging a pile of books, and all he could think about was - this time, he had to kill the white-haired immortal. .
With this idea in mind, he touched the huge light group in his mind, and saw the word "fairyland" blooming.
He seemed to have turned into a wandering soul again, flying up into the sky.
The same person rides the purple energy to rise into the sky; the same heavenly gate stands tall and majestic; the same heavenly soldiers and generals are stationed there, shining with divine eyes, screening qualified souls.
Only this time, there seemed to be more people, and the queue under Tianmen was very long.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him, because he is no longer a newcomer.
As he approached the Tianmen, there was a brilliance blooming, and he had transformed into the immortal with a jade crown on his head, a green feathered coat, and cloud boots on his feet.
The 'Immortal Realm' token on the waist has even changed from wood to jade color, making it look even more warm and moist.
Another immortal servant led him into the Tianmen, walked across the covered bridge, entered the reception hall, and met the white-haired immortal.
This time, Chu Zhou thought he was going to experience another journey of preaching and teaching, but with a flick of the fly whisk, the world had changed.
But Chu Zhou never thought that the first lesson of "Lingzi Theory" would actually be witnessing history!
Looking forward to reading...
