The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 40: The grudges are settled and we enter the Heavenly Gate again
Xuanzhen Temple, living room.

Zou Wu held the teacup and fiddled with the tea lid absentmindedly, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.

To be honest, he felt that everything that happened during this period, especially some things about Xuanzhen Temple, were quite dreamy.

When the Taoist master Xuanzhen died, he almost immediately set his sights on the fields and properties of Xuanzhen Temple.

To this end, he spent a lot of effort to get in touch with the Zhan family and gained control of Zhan's Pharmacy, hoping to extort some money from them.

In his opinion, without the old Taoist Xuan Zhen, the few disciples sitting under him would be nothing but pushovers.

He had no intention of taking the 500 acres of good farmland. He just wanted some money, which was definitely not too much.

Unfortunately, after he had really made a big fuss, he discovered that the young Taoist priest named Chu Zhou was not as simple as he thought.

He was a cautious person and didn't know whether to say it or not. After failing to gain the upper hand with words, he decided to wait and see for a while.

He believed that there were more than just one or two people who had their eyes on Xuanzhen Temple. He couldn't eat the fat, but he could still drink some soup.

then……

There's no after that!

First, Xue slave of the Xue family "committed suicide", then the Iron Spear Martial Arts School stood up for Xuanzhen Temple. After a series of actions, Zou Wu was surprised to find that the Xuanzhen Temple seemed to be unable to move.

But, at this point in time, it doesn't seem to matter.

If you can’t move, then you can’t move. At worst, we can just keep our distance.

But what happened next made him lose his composure.

Xuanzhen Temple was attacked, and more than 20 to 30 people died. It was said that the bodies filled up the donkey carts. Then the Xue family was attacked by a thug, and even the county magistrate had his neck broken.

This was nothing, at least Zou Wu hadn't reacted yet.

But later, when the Xue family was besieged and a number of families, martial arts schools, and even the government office took action, he finally broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially after he used his connections to find the chief clerk and learned some "inside stories" about Xuanzhen Temple, he became even more uneasy.

After all this time, what he provoked was not an ant that could be crushed to death with ease, but a tiger disguised as an ant.

Then, we have today's line.

Just when Zou Wu was distracted, Chu Zhou walked in from the back door. He didn't say a word, but quietly walked to the seat at the top. After sitting down, he looked at Zou Wu with interest.

Perhaps feeling the gazes on him, Zou Wu raised his head slightly.

scare!
At just one glance, he was so frightened that he jumped up and dropped the cup in his hand.

However, he reacted faster and actually bent down and caught the cup before it fell to the ground.

The scalding hot tea splashed all over his hands, but he seemed not to feel anything at all.

Chu Zhou's eyes narrowed, and he smiled and said, "Master Zou Wu's skills are quite impressive!"

Zou Wu straightened up, put the teacup on the tea table beside him, and said, "My tricks are crude and not worthy of praise from Taoist Master Chu. Compared to Taoist Master Chu, you made no sound when you stepped on me and approached me within ten feet without me noticing. That's a real skill."

"Do you really think this is my fault and not your absent-mindedness?"

Chu Zhou said this without giving the other party a chance to explain, and said directly: "However, I am more curious, why did Master Zou Wu come to my Xuanzhen Temple today?
If I remember correctly, the account of Zhan's Pharmacy should be settled, right? My Xuanzhen Temple should not owe you a penny, right? "

A bitter smile flashed across Zou Wu's face, and he immediately stood up and said, "Before, it was I, Zou Wu, who was blind and did not recognize the great man, and offended the Taoist priest. I came here today to resolve this grudge."

As he said this, he pulled 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 found the things inside quite familiar. First, there were silver ingots neatly stacked, 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?"

"I dare not call you Master in front of the Taoist priest. From now on, just call me Zou Wu."

Zou Wu put his attitude extremely low, even a little humble, and after a pause, he said: "There are 300 taels of silver in it, which is not much, but our gang is not a family, so we really can't give more.

As for the deed, it belonged to Zhan’s Pharmacy. From now on, Zhan’s Pharmacy belonged to Xuanzhen Temple.

I retained all the apprentices, pharmacists, and shopkeepers, and also kept the supply channels intact.

Although it is not a big business, with this medicine shop, it will be more convenient to pick up medicine, mix medicine, boil it, and even collect some precious medicinal materials."

These words really made Chu Zhou look at Zou Wu with a higher regard.

When it comes to gift giving, it’s either something expensive or something that suits the other person’s taste.

This Zhan’s medicine shop is nothing special, but after having a complete supply channel, Xuanzhen Temple really has a demand for it.

On the one hand, Xu Cheng was studying medicine, and having this Zhan’s pharmacy made it much more convenient for him to study or see a doctor.

On the other hand, the pills and medicinal baths used by their fellow disciples in martial arts practice are all very expensive.

Having a safe place to prepare and boil medicines and being able to get medicinal materials at a lower price are both great benefits.

In other words, this gift really touched Chu Zhou's heart.

After a pause, Chu Zhou continued, "Master Zou Wu has put so much thought into this, just to clear up the previous misunderstanding?"

Zou Wu nodded seriously and said, "That's why!"

Chu Zhou said again: "This style of behavior is somewhat different from the gang members I imagined, right?"

“Haha, I don’t care about other gangs, but the Four Seas Gang is really just a group of fishermen who stick together for warmth. I, Zou Wu, am also the son of a fisherman.

All I think and do is to hope that the fishermen floating on the Baisha River can have something to eat and not be bullied. "This is a beautiful statement, but how much can Chu Zhou believe it? ! !

However, he still pretended to be moved, and after a pause, he said, "Now that we have come to this point, the previous misunderstanding ends here!"

"Thank you, Taoist Chu, for your generosity!"

At this point, Zou Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare to stay any longer, so he stood up and said, "In that case, I will not delay you any longer. Zou Wu will leave now."

"Then I'll see Master Zou off, please!"

"Although our Sihai Gang is not very strong, we still have some manpower. If Taoist Chu needs anything, just give us a call."

"You said this, I'm serious, you can't shirk responsibility if there's anything in the future."

“But when I am sent, I will do my best.”

It seemed that the past and future had really disappeared. Chu Zhou sent Zou Wu to the Zhenwu Hall, and then they parted ways.

However, just as he returned to the living room and picked up the deed to take a look at it, he heard footsteps coming again.

But Fan Zhong came quickly again, and when he got close, he immediately said, "Master, the old master Zhan from the Zhan family is here to visit!"

Chu Zhou was slightly stunned, then smiled: "They really come one after another!"

……

The Zhan family is not considered a big family in Baisha City. They do not have a strong foundation and have only been in business for 20 to 30 years, but they run a medicinal materials business.

In the entire Baisha City, the Zhan family owns 26 medicine shops, 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 medicine, but the medicinal material channels they have developed over the years.

The reason why the Zhan family was able to rise was all thanks to Old Master Zhan. It was not because he was a good fighter, but because he was a true master of medicine who had saved countless lives and had a wide network of contacts.

Chu Zhou was also shocked when he saw this person. He was over a hundred years old, but he looked only in his sixties or seventies. He could walk and jump, and his mind was clear.

The purpose of his coming here was naturally the same as Zou Wu's, and he also admitted it very openly. At that time, some younger generation of the family took a fancy to the fertile land of Xuanzhen Temple, which was why Zou Wu persuaded them.

Later, when Xuanzhen Temple became powerful, the matter was brought to the attention of the old man.

Then, this centenarian old man had to swallow his pride and come forward to apologize.

And to make amends, of course, one must pay compensation.

He not only gave five hundred taels of silver, but also presented a recipe for elixir.

The name of the pill is 'Zang-protecting Pill'. As the name suggests, it is used to nourish the internal organs and is suitable for martial artists who practice internal organs.

In terms of effect, it is not necessarily better than the one in Chu Zhou's hand, but Old Master Zhan has improved the prescription, so it is a little more troublesome to prepare and mix the medicine, but the effect is milder and longer-lasting, and less toxic.

As for Zou Wu, Chu Zhou let it go. Naturally, he did not 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 silver, elixir recipes and deeds in the two boxes and couldn't help laughing.

He turned his head, looked at Fan Zhong, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"What did the master say?"

“I once heard a saying, when you are powerful, good people will surround you!
Take a look, isn’t it very similar to the current situation? "

……

On this day, Chu Zhou made a fortune, received great benefits, and resolved all grudges. It seemed that everything was going in a good direction.

But his heart is no longer here.

On this day, the sun had just set when he urged his junior brother to eat dinner and then went back to bed.

And he also went to bed early.

Of course, before going to bed, he moved all the secret books in his hand upstairs.

Not to mention the "Tiger Fist", "Crescent Moon Sword" and "Vajra Kick", there are also the newly acquired "Golden Scale Knife", "Breaking Kick", "Hundred Changes Step", "Mountain Breaking Strike", "Wave Slash", "Fubo Sword", "Five Elements Chain Hands", "Swift Wind Slash Kick" and so on.

Even the secret technique of "Five Ghosts Moving Things" was thrown onto the bed by him.

When everything was done, the bed was already covered with secret books. He lay on it in a big letter shape, hugging a pile of books, and all he could think about was - this time, he must get rid of that white-haired immortal.

With this thought in mind, he touched the huge ball of light in his mind, and saw the words "Fairyland" blooming.

He seemed to have turned into a wandering soul, floating up into the sky.

They also ride on the purple air and rise into the sky; the Heavenly Gate also stands tall and majestic; the same heavenly soldiers and generals are stationed there, with divine eyes shining, selecting qualified souls.

But this time, there seemed to be more people, and the line 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 Heavenly Gate, he began to shine. He had transformed into an immortal wearing a jade crown, a green feather robe, and cloud boots.

The "Fairyland" token on the waist even changed from wood to jade, making it look more gentle.

Then a fairy servant led him into the Heavenly Gate, walked across the corridor bridge, entered the Reception Hall, and met the white-haired fairy.

This time, Chu Zhou thought he would have to go through another journey of teaching and learning, but with a flick of the whisk, the world had changed.

But Chu Zhou never thought that the first lesson of "Spirit Particle Theory" would actually be a witness to history!
