You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 114 A bolt from the blue
Mrs. Li rested in bed for a long time.

Her fate was taken away from her, and she was in an extremely bad state. She was dazed for the first incense stick of time after she came to her senses, and she called everyone she met her son.

He called Wuweishanren three times, Wugen twice, Caiyi once, and Wuhui seven times.

When he saw Zuo Chen, he kept calling him benefactor.

It was not until an incense stick of time had passed that her mind finally calmed down.

Seeing Wuhui kneeling beside her in his Taoist robe, Mrs. Li couldn't stop crying.

"My child, you have suffered so much these years. It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Mrs. Li touched Wuhui's temples with her hands, her tone full of emotion and unconcealable sadness.

When Wuwei Shanren saw this scene, some turbid tears appeared in his old eyes.

"Big sister, it's good that you wake up. Let bygones be bygones. Don't ever go to that damn place again. Don't gamble again."

Wuweishanren’s words are sincere and heartfelt.

But who would have thought that after he said this, Madam Li sighed repeatedly:
"Brother, you misunderstood me. I didn't gamble at all at that time."

"Ah?" Doubts filled Wuweishanren's mind.

"Zhao Laosan told me there was a good way to make a living, so he took me to that place. When I got there, I found out it was actually a gambling house, so I wanted to run away. But suddenly a man with shabby clothes came out in front of me and blew a breath at me. I don't remember anything that happened after that."

This?
Wuweishanren originally thought that Mrs. Li was deeply involved in gambling at that time and spent all the remaining family property in three days, but he did not expect that this was how things turned out from Mrs. Li's perspective.

"The Five Bewilderments and Three Dao Techniques, this is a common method used by the Beggars' Gang to perform life-saving and dismemberment. Combined with some special drugs, it only takes a breath to confuse a person's mind."

Caiyi's side whispered:
"I almost fell victim to this when I was a kid, but the old man came and took me back."

As Zuo Chen listened, his eyes turned cold.

He had previously believed that it was all Madam Li's own fault, but now it seemed that the playboy had taken a fancy to Madam Li's natural destiny of being rich and powerful and a gambler, and had found a way to change her fate.

Sure enough, this kind of activity will eventually turn into robbery.

After hearing this, Wuwei Shanren was so angry that his teeth itched. He immediately wanted to pull out the hatchet from the woodshed and go back to Dongshui City to fight that man to death.

But Zuo Chen stopped him.

"It's all over. Just live a good life here with them and don't cause any trouble for yourself."

Wuwei Shanren was slightly stunned.

He always felt that as a Taoist brother, he shouldn't say such things.

But since Brother Dao had spoken, he could only nod sullenly:
"Everything is up to Brother Dao."

Zuo Chen could see that Wuwei Shanren was unhappy, but he just smiled and patted his shoulder:

"He who does evil will eventually perish. Maybe he will be struck to death by lightning tonight."

Wuweishanren always felt that there was something else behind Zuo Chen's words.

……

The playboy paced back and forth in the gambling house, twisting his hair around with his index finger, round and round.

His eyes were gloomy and his mind was confused, with his mind full of the face of the Taoist priest today.

Since he opened this gambling theater, he has become a well-known figure in the city. Who wouldn't look at him with respect when he walks on the street?
But today I got ambushed and almost lost everything I had!

He really couldn't swallow this!

But the little Taoist priest's status was too high. He couldn't see clearly even if he tilted his head and stood on tiptoe to look up. Not to mention revenge, he didn't even dare to approach him!

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, deciding that he could no longer stay in Dongshui City.

I have to go back to Kyoto, find some old friends, and start over again.

Thinking of this, the playboy hurriedly went to the third floor of the Bo Xifang.

At the corner at the end of the third floor, the playboy walked in through the door.

This is a study room, and also the place where the money of the entire gambling house is managed. Usually, only the accountant and the idlers come here.

He walked to the deepest part of the study, put his hand on a stack of bamboo slips on the desk, and twisted it hard.

The entire bookshelf moved to the side, revealing the deep corridor inside.

The playboy walked quickly toward the corridor and soon arrived at a small secret room.

This is a small house, across the street from the Bo Xifang building. It should have been a personal residence, but it was bought by a vagrant and some modifications were made to it.

Now it has become a secret room that can only be entered by people from the inside and outside.

There were several shelves in the secret room, each of which was filled with gold and silver jewelry, some of which were jade carvings that had been processed into jewelry.

These are the last assets of the idlers.

He quickly put all these things into the small bag, and took out a stack of banknotes and put them in his arms.

After thinking for a while, he opened the small box and took out six crystal clear dice.

These are the destinies he has accumulated over the years. Each one is different. Some can bring bad luck to his opponents, while others can bring him romantic luck.

Most of the fate holders have died, leaving only one dice in his hand.

This is also a treasure.

He put them all in his arms.

The vagrant found a small stick in the yard and hung the package on it.

He took off his animal skin, tidied his clothes, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a beggar with a big bag.

He had originally started out by doing the art of waving and cutting, and now he was just starting over with all his wealth.

Still able to make money!
After leaving the compound, he deliberately found a street with few people and began to walk stealthily on the street.

Suddenly, I felt a cold wind blowing around me, and I shivered. I looked up subconsciously and found that the sky was covered with dark clouds. Is it going to rain in autumn?

It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill. Do I need to go back and get the animal skins to wrap myself up?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I suddenly felt my hair stand up tightly.

How is this going?

The playboy had never seen such a thing before, and only felt a tingling sensation on his head, which was very novel.

Suddenly, he turned his head and saw that his package was flashing a little light.

He reached in and took out a small gold ingot.

This gold ingot is shining with a light blue light.

"boom!"

A silver-white lightning flashed across the air and struck the back alley like a pillar.

Passersby who were enjoying the wind and watching the lanterns by the river were all startled by the sudden bolt of thunder, especially from the flower boats in the lake, where they heard many women screaming and men cursing, angrily accusing the heavens of being unkind.

The gamblers in the gambling house also walked out, not knowing what had happened.

Looking at the sky again, it was cloudless, the stars were shining brightly, and the moon was shining brightly. How could there be any place where lightning could fall?

A few people who were willing to believe saw that the place where the lightning flashed was a nearby alley, so they walked in groups of two or three towards the alley entrance.

When they arrived at the place where the lightning struck, they were so frightened that their legs went limp and they walked around the streets in a mess.

In the middle of the ground, there was a corpse that had been burned beyond all recognition. His body was wrapped in melted gold and silver jewelry, which seemed to have blended with his flesh and skin. One could even see some jewels and jade among them. He looked like a rich corpse.

After the initial shock, the people who came with him noticed the melted gold and silver on his body, and they became a little greedy and wanted to pick them off.

When the bravest one came to the side of the corpse, he lowered his head and saw that there were six square holes on the chest of the corpse.

Seems to be……

Six dice burst out of his chest and escaped.

……

The next morning, Zuo Chen finished his evening breathing exercise and walked out of the guest room. He found Wu Gen and Cai Yi were helping Madam Li with rehabilitation.

After getting her fate back, Mrs. Li's energy and spirit recovered quickly, and her face was rosy again compared to when she woke up yesterday.

But after all, he has been bedridden for a year, so it will probably take some time for him to recover.

Looking around again, he found Wuhui coming out of the firewood room with a plate in his hand with several bowls of porridge on it.

He carefully placed the porridge on the table, and it indeed looked a lot more refined than before.

"Uncle Master!"

Seeing Zuo Chen coming out, Wuhui's face lit up with joy, and he took two steps at a time and came to Zuo Chen.

He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but Zuo Chen just waved his hand:
"It's early in the morning. Kowtow will ruin your appetite."

He then changed his manner and bowed to Zuo Chen.

"Such a great favor, I can't repay it even if I work like a slave. Wuhui also knows that Uncle Master is very capable, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help. But as long as Uncle Master asks, no matter what I do, I will do my best."

Zuo Chen looked the boy up and down.

After regaining his wisdom, his eloquence has indeed improved a lot. He is a smart kid.

"You just need to do more good deeds and help as many people as possible, which is the greatest reward for me."

"Wu Hui knows."

"Go back and take care of your mother."

Wuhui nodded, then turned and walked towards his mother.

When he walked away, Wuwei Shanren came out from the side and said:

"Brother Dao, let me tell you, Wuhui is actually very smart."

Zuo Chen nodded: "He is indeed a smart talent."

He then said to Wuwei Shanren: "I will be leaving at noon today, please take care of yourself, fellow Taoist."

"Brother, why don't you stay for two more days?" Wuwei Shanren was shocked: "I haven't had time to give you tea yet."

"Just wrap two packages with oilcloth paper." Zuo Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I have an appointment at the Sima Mansion, so I have to show up anyway."

Knowing that he would not be able to keep Zuo Chen, Wuwei Shanren finally bowed to Zuo Chen and said, "Brother Dao, I wish you a smooth future."

"I borrow your good words, and hope you will follow suit."

After packing up their luggage and calling Caiyi, they sat on the donkey cart. The donkey shook its hooves lightly and walked down the mountain.

After watching Zuo Chen leave, Wuwei Shanren returned to the Taoist temple.

But before he had time to rest, he suddenly heard Wugen's exclamation from the side.

"Master, come and look at this!"

Wuwei Shanren hurriedly came to Wu Hui, only to find that two boxes had appeared in the courtyard. The boxes were full of white silver ingots, each weighing one thousand taels!

And above this silver ingot, there were several talismans, which seemed to be written by Zuo Chen himself.

Wuwei Shanren was stunned for a few seconds, then he hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the Taoist temple.

But when he reached the door, no one was there.

Only the blue sky and white clouds in the distance illuminate a bright road down the mountain.
