Chapter 110 What is lost must be won back

"That ungrateful bastard's surname is Zhao, he doesn't have a real name, everyone calls him Zhao Laosan. He was originally a scoundrel in the city, he was beaten up for stealing and was half dead, Dali felt sorry for him and taught him the skills of a villager. He was very sweet when he followed Dali, but when Dali died, he immediately changed his face.

"Not long after Dali died, he came here to find Madam Li, and, under the guise of Dali's subordinate, told Madam Li that he had found a way to make money, where he could risk a small fortune for a big gain, or risk ten for one.

"Mrs. Li had no idea that the man was dirty. She thought he was introducing her to a legitimate business, and because she was really short of money at the time, she agreed. But when she went there, she found out that Zhao Laosan introduced her to a gambling theater, and the business that made money was leaf opera!"

Speaking of this, Wuwei Shanren was obviously furious and was very angry.

Zuo Chen already knew what would happen next.

A village woman, who had never been exposed to gambling, was probably deceived into playing a few rounds. She won a lot of money and thought it was a good way to make money. As a result, she fell into the trap and got deeper and deeper. When she came to her senses, it was too late to get out.

It's obvious that this old Zhao is here to make a fortune!
This bad habit exists in many villages, but I didn’t expect that such a big city like Dongshui would also have such harmful practices.

"This is my fault. After Dali died, I was distracted and stayed in the Taoist temple for three days before I recovered. When I found Madam Li, even the land in the village had been taken away. That's why I hurried to look for her. When I found Madam Li, she was already lying on the street. I took her back to the Taoist temple, and she fell ill and couldn't get up."

A trace of self-blame flashed in Wuweishanren's eyes, and he reached out and stroked Wuhui's head.

Wuhui realized it belatedly and looked at Wuwei Shanren.

"This idiot was not stupid. He was once a famous smart kid in the village. Whether it was reciting poems or reading scriptures, or painting and calculating, he was much better than his peers. But when he found out about the misfortune in his family, he cried a lot, got seriously ill, and had a high fever. When the illness subsided, it was as if his wisdom was taken away by someone. He became stupid and foolish, and his brain was not very smart."

Two long sighs:

"Fool, idiot..."

"master?"

Wuhui looked at Wuwei Shanren in confusion, as if he didn't understand why his master called him that.

"Brother Daoist, do you have any solution to this situation?" Wuwei Shanren finally asked Zuo Chen earnestly.

"Didn't you report that gambling den to the police?"

"Do it?" Wuwei Shanren shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "They are a legitimate business, what can I do? Even if there is fraud, at most I will get some money. The officials will not care about this."

Zuo Chen came back to his senses and remembered that according to Daliang's laws, gambling theaters were a legal business, but their number in the city was limited, and they were prohibited from opening on the main roads. They could only be found in small alleys, just like some specialized brothels.

Who knows, the government runners who have nothing to do might go to the gambling theater to play a few games, so it's naturally impossible for them to go and take care of it.

This kind of thing of eating up the entire family is commonplace in Daliang.

"I originally wanted to kill Zhao Laosan with a knife, but I didn't expect him to retreat into the gambling house and not come out at all. I also went to the gambling house to cause trouble for him, but I couldn't defeat those people. Later, I felt that if I died, my apprentice and my wife would really have no one to take care of them, so I gave up the idea of ​​killing Zhao Laosan and only hoped to cure my wife's illness."

Wuwei Shanren laughed repeatedly, feeling that he was a coward.

The sharpness in my heart had long been worn away.

Zuo Chen looked at the decadent Wuwei Shanren, looked at the silly Wuhui, and then looked at the woman lying on the bed who seemed to have lost her soul.

"Don't worry, mountain man." He suddenly laughed and said, "I have nothing to do recently. I was harassed by cockroaches a few days ago. I was bored, and then there was this rascal making trouble. I happened to be itching to do it, so I had to give him a good beating.

"Leave Madam Li's illness to me."

Wuwei Shanren was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately pressed Wuhui down and made him kneel down: "Thank you, uncle."

Wu Hui was still a little dazed. It was only when he saw Zuo Chen standing next to his mother that he finally came to his senses and asked blankly:

"Uncle Master, are you going to save my mother?"

"There will be a way."

Wuhui seemed to finally understand. With tears in his eyes, he kowtowed to Zuo Chen.

"Uncle Master, please save my mother, please save my mother."

Zuo Chen half squatted down and rubbed Wuhui's head.

His brain was injured, and his inner wisdom had already merged with his body. If he did not break through this layer of obstacle, his inner wisdom would naturally not be revealed.

Without doing anything much to Wuhui, he stood up and walked to Madam Li, his eyes falling on the red line.

He just stretched out his finger and flicked the connected red line.

"Snapped."

The line is broken.

Faintly, Zuo Chen could hear a scream coming from the other end of the line.

However, even after the red thread was cut, the woman still did not wake up, but her expression became much more relaxed, as if she had finally been released from a long nightmare.

"Her fate was stolen." After a simple test, Zuo Chen found out the reason: "I cut off the connection that has been stealing her soul. Now, as long as I find her fate, I can make her recover."

"Brother Dao, what should we do now?"

"Of course, to get back what she lost."

……

The distance from the village to Dongshui City is not that close. It takes seven days to walk there, and it would take several days to ride a donkey. But this time he was going to get his fate back, and it would not be good to delay on the road for too long. Zuo Chen simply asked Wuwei Shanren to prepare a basin of water and took the oil lamp from Caiyi.

After lighting the oil lamp, Zuo Chen asked everyone to gather together.

The few people didn't understand why, but they did as they were told. Only Wu Gen needed to stay in the compound to take care of Madam Li, so he naturally didn't go with them.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, Zuo Chen pointed the light towards the basin of water. The entire basin instantly began to boil, and in the blink of an eye a thick layer of smoke filled the air around everyone.

Wuwei Shanren and Wuhui gathered together and fanned the thick fog around them. When they came to their senses, they found that there were blue sky and white clouds all around them, and the sun was shining brightly overhead.

When he lowered his head, he found that he was standing on a large white cloud, and the Taoist temple where he was just now had become a small yellow bean on the ground, and he could barely make out its appearance.

It seemed that one could see a sesame-sized figure shouting and yelling in the Taoist temple. It must be Wu Gen who witnessed the whole process and was standing in the yard in shock.

"Hiss! The Cloud Riding Technique?"

Wuwei Shanren had heard that only when one's Taoist magic reached its peak could one fly on clouds and mist, but this thing was a myth no matter where one was.

Even the City God, who was worshipped with incense, was never seen flying on the clouds.

Even the great immortal Liu in Prince Wei's palace had no rumors of riding on clouds or mist.

Brother Dao, your ability is now as high as the sky.

He stepped on the mist under his feet. This was the new magic technique that Zuo Chen had been researching during this period.

Ever since the shadow of the golden baby appeared in his dantian, Zuo Chen has mastered the means of flying and hiding in the ground, and he is indeed very fast when combined with the skill of shrinking the earth into an inch.

But he felt like he was flying like a cannonball, fast but not graceful at all.

So I started to study the techniques of riding on the clouds.

There was a problem with his first step: he did not know the spell to create clouds out of the ground. If he wanted to fly into the clouds, he had to climb into the air first, wrap his spiritual energy around a cloud, pull it down, and use it as a skateboard under his feet.

But since it's already flying, why bother to pull the cloud down? It's a bit redundant.

He changed the recipe, took out a basin of water, burned it with a flame infused with spiritual energy, boiled it into steam, and created a cloud that contained spiritual power. People would not fall down if they stepped on it, and it became the art of riding on clouds.

After stepping on the thick clouds under his feet, Zuo Chen always felt that the cloud-driving technique he had researched was a little bit wrong, but as long as it worked, he didn't think too much about it. Just as he was about to take off and fly towards Dongshui, he found that Caiyi was curled up in a ball, squatting in a corner and shivering.

Seeing Zuo Chen looking at her, Caiyi said in a trembling voice:
"Master, I'm afraid of heights..."

Zuo Chen: "...then will you still learn the Cloud Riding Technique in the future?"

"I will never learn this." Caiyi's voice was filled with tears.

It can be seen that this girl is really scared.

Without further ado, he just flew towards his destination with the clouds.

The speed of the Yunshu plane carrying people was definitely not as fast as Zuo Chen's alone, but it was several times faster than a horse. It only took about an hour, and as the sun set, the clouds also landed in Dongshui City.

Zuo Chen didn't even try to be shy and went straight to the main road of Dongshui City to land. After the clouds and mist dissipated, everyone landed on the stone road.

However, the pedestrians around were still doing what they were doing, as if they didn't notice them at all.

Wuwei Shanren could see that Zuo Chen used the method of hiding his house when he was falling, so naturally no one would find them.

As soon as Caiyi stepped on the bluestone slabs, her legs went limp and cold sweat started to stream down from her forehead. She looked like she wanted to kiss the earth.

Zuo Chen stared at Caiyi for two seconds.

This fear of heights is really serious.

He withdrew his gaze and looked towards Dongshui City.

This city is a rare city in the entire Youzhou that has a river. A big river runs through the entire city from left to right. The entire town is built step by step by gathering several villages beside the river.

Because the river water comes from the east, this river is called Dongshui, and the city built along the Dongshui River is naturally called Dongshui City.

Now they were on the main road of Dongshui City. It was almost evening and there were not many pedestrians left on the street.

It's cold in Youzhou, and it's already autumn. When the sun sets, the weather becomes suddenly cooler. Naturally, there are fewer people walking on the streets. Compared with the bustling evening in Qingzhou, it does seem a bit deserted here.

But it is really big. The main road of Dongshui City is almost as wide as the three roads in Qingzhou City put together. Even if a whole line of ceremonial guards are lined up in the middle to clear the way for dignitaries, it will not affect the business on both sides.

Star-like lights were lit up in the houses on both sides of the street, and there were indeed a lot of people in the whole city.

Seeing the place, Wuwei Shanren couldn't help asking:

"Brother Dao, I'm a little confused about what you said about retrieving the things. Are you planning to..."

Zuo Chen smiled and said, "I have a clever trick. Just follow me."

Wuweishanren was full of confusion and couldn't understand what Zuo Chen was trying to do.
