I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 37 Absurd
"Zhang Taixu?"

Lu Zhaozhao frowned slightly...

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan asked in puzzlement: "The poor Taoist surname is Zhang, and his Taoist name is Taixu. Is there any problem with calling himself Zhang Taixu?"

"No…"

Lu Zhaozhao smiled, and a pair of nice dimples appeared on his pretty face without makeup.

"I have heard of this name before. It is said that Zhang Yangming, Daoist Zhang of Taixu Temple is also called Zhang Taixu, but I don't know what is the relationship between You and that Daoist Zhang?"

"That's the tutor..."

Zhang Xiuyuan explained: "The name of Taixu is the Taoist name of the masters of Taixu Temple in the past, but the master has passed away, so now the poor Taoist inherits this Taoist name."

"Oh~"

Lu Zhaozhao nodded suddenly, with a bright smile on his face, and said: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of being laughed at by my fellow Taoist. The little girl has admired the name of Venerable Taixu for a long time, and she originally thought about going to Taixu Temple to pay homage tomorrow." Second, I never thought that today I would meet Master Taixu's disciple here today, and today's master of Taixu Temple, it is really a blessing."

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard the words, and asked with a strange expression: "Fellow Daoist Lu actually also knows the names of 'Master Taixu'?"

"Why can't I know the name of Jianghu?"

Lu Zhaozhao asked a question, then smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of being laughed at by fellow Taoists. The little girl has always admired chivalrous men, and Master Taixu took it as her duty to punish the evil and eliminate the evil, and to help the poor and help the poor. Fifty years ago, who in the rivers and lakes around the Jiangnan Mansion did not admire Master Taixu?"

She wasn't lying about this point, since he received the sacred metaphor from the leader, he took over the task and came to Jiangnan Mansion and began to investigate the life and past of the holy seed 'Zhang Yangming'.

He found that among the Jianghu people of the older generation in the Jiangnan Mansion, there were two little poems describing Master Taixu.

The first is 'thick eyebrows and vertical words like thunder, put down the cup when you hear something is wrong';
The second is "sword rises from the stars and runs thousands of miles to kill, and the sound of chasing rain during wind and thunder is rough".

The former refers to Venerable Taixu's appearance and personality, with his thick eyebrows raised and his voice like thunder, even if he hears something unfair while eating and drinking tea, he will put down the matter at hand and take care of it.

The latter refers to Master Taixu's cultivation base and xinxing, even if the identified thief is thousands of miles away, even if it is windy and rainy on the way, he will kill him with a sword all day and night.

Not only is his cultivation high and his heart is tenacious, but he is also chivalrous and courageous, with noble conduct. Who would disrespect such a master Taixu?
Lu Zhaozhao grew up in the Sacred Fire Cult, advocating great light, and the teachings he received since he was a child are the opposites of light and darkness, the confrontation of good and evil, and the victory of good and evil in the end.

Therefore, even though she is a woman, she is still one of the three candidate saintesses in the sect, but she is also fierce, and she also respects the chivalrous men in the world.

In her inherent thinking, she also faintly 'understand' why Zhang Yangming became one of the holy seeds of the Holy Cult.

"..."

At this time, Zhang Xiuyuan's complexion was very strange...

Especially seeing that Lu Zhaozhao said with a straight face that he admired chivalrous men and his own master, his expression did not seem to be fake, and an inexplicable sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

First of all, he thought of the other party's identity as the "person behind the gambling house", and his words and deeds had a strong sense of disobedience.

Secondly, he thought that his master had been looking for a fairy fate all his life, but he couldn't find it until his death. He never thought that there would be a little girl who is a qi refiner?
When the two are mixed together, the sense of absurdity is even more absurd.

Weird...

Zhang Xiuyuan smiled inexplicably, and asked: "Fellow Daoist Lu admires chivalrous men, but I don't know why this gambling house has become a place where filth is hidden? A place to make money with ignorance?"

"Why did you say this, fellow Daoist?"

Hearing the words, Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Jin Chuanchang at the side, saw his eyes dodging, with a look of anxiety, and thought of Zhang Taixu in front of him who came to the gambling house even though he was a Qi refiner, and seemed to understand something .

She cupped her hands and said, "I just came to Gusu today, and I wanted to rest here for a while. I really don't know what's hidden about this gambling house business. I hope fellow Taoists can tell you clearly."

"Oh?"

Seeing that Jin Chuanchang's complexion turned pale, Zhang Xiuyuan asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu didn't know that there was a gambler taking drugs at the gate of the gambling shop this morning?"

"I know this..."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded anxiously, and said: "But the business of the gambling house has always been regulated, and the gamblers here are also what you want to do. Since it is a gamble, it is natural that there will be winners and losers. The gamblers lose money. Taking poison is not the original wish of the gambling house, so is there any hidden secret in this matter?"

Zhang Xiuyuan also agreed with some of what she said, and replied: "This is a gambling house, the gamblers are here to gamble. It is indeed what you want. It is a gamble, and it is indeed reasonable to win or lose."

He said with a secretive smile, and then changed the topic and said: "But what fellow Daoist Lu said is that the business here has always been well-regulated, but Daoist Pin doesn't agree with it."

"..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao looked at Jin Chuanchang at the side again, and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

"Miss Jin..."

Jin Chuanchang was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and explained tremblingly: "The man who took the poison was called Wang Binggui. He was a gambler and a well-known prodigal son in the neighborhood. He used to have some money and often played in the gambling house. The people in the casino are also familiar. It’s just that after he ran out of money, he played less.”

"At first, the people below just thought that Wang Binggui had no money to gamble, so they didn't pay much attention to him. Perhaps Wang Binggui couldn't accept such a gap, so he often showed that his family was rich and his ancestral house was spacious. The people below were dismissed by him. It was too troublesome, so I set up a game to win the land deed of his ancestral home."

"Then Wang Binggui lost the land lease of his ancestral home and owed a huge amount of gambling debts. He has been hiding from people for the past few days. His old mother cried and went blind because of him. I don't know where he got some money from yesterday. , came here to play again, took arsenic after losing money and went out, and when I sent someone to take him to the hospital, he was already dead."

"..."

Lu Zhaozhao's face was cloudy when he heard this...

He thought to himself why he came to the gambling shop, Jin Chuanchang tremblingly did not dare to look at him more, it turned out that he had done something against the teachings, and he was guilty!

The most important thing is, this guy still dares to lie to himself!
Thinking of what she had just sworn to say that the gambling shop's business has always been in order, she only felt that her skin was burning hot, and her heart seemed to be on fire.

She looked at Jin Chuanchang who was kneeling on the ground with a cold snort, and asked coldly, "Jin Chuanchang, you are also an old man in the family, do you still remember the family rules?"

"May I also ask you to learn from me!!"

Jin Chuanchang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly argued: "The small one who runs the gambling house here can't get on the stage at all. His subordinates have all kinds of teachings and top grades, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and the small one can't guarantee that everyone under him will abide by the rules!"

He sighed, and said with a bitter face: "To put it bluntly, although the young one is not popular, he has not yet fallen to the point of plotting against a market gambler. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Binggui was in front of the gambling house this morning Taking poison, the little one doesn't even know who he is, let alone know that there is such a thing!"

"Wrong is wrong..."

Lu Zhaozhao shook his head, and said seriously: "Since you are in charge of running the gambling house here, it is also your own responsibility to know people and not be strict with your orders."

"..."

Jin Chuanchang's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't speak with his lips murmured. He just bent down and kowtowed miserably, and said: "I have been ordered to run this place for many years. I also hope that miss... spare my little life."

"..."

Lu Zhaozhao didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Xiuyuan, who was silently answering, and said apologetically, "You made me laugh, I really didn't know about it."

"I see..."

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded slightly, and understood why Jin Chuanchang glanced guiltyly at the second floor when he mentioned Wang Binggui at the gambling table just now.

Seeing that he didn't pay much attention, Lu Zhaozhao pointedly reminded: "Since fellow daoist came here to stand up for that Wang Binggui, how to punish this matter should be based on the opinion of fellow daoist."

"Fellow Daoist Lu misunderstood..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Poverty Dao didn't come here to stand out for someone, but just didn't want an old mother to leave with regrets."

"The Daoist is benevolent and righteous!"

Jin Chuanchang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he kowtowed to Zhang Xiuyuan: "The little one is willing to find Wang Binggui's old mother in person, present the land deed of the ancestral house, explain the reason and cut off her finger to make amends. If her old man is willing, the young one is willing to provide for her old man's old age." !"

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan remained silent.

He didn't come here to stand up for anyone, but simply felt that if Mrs. Li got the news that her son Wang Binggui was dead, it would probably be hard for her to live alone.

Go down the mountain to the gambling house, redeem the land deed of the ancestral house, and end the cause and effect of the red dust that the mother and son have enshrined, and take a look at how ugly the gambling shop is.

All I'm looking for is a clear idea...

Now that the story has come to this point, it is not easy for him to be an outsider to make decisions for Mrs. Li, and he has no intention of measuring how ugly this gambling shop is.

"No need..."

He shook his head and said: "Pindao has only met Wang Binggui and his old mother once, so he can't make decisions for them."

"This……"

Jin Chuanchang froze in place when he kowtowed...

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't want to have any more dealings with them, so he walked to the gambling table and said, "Pindao has won [-] rounds here, and won about ten thousand taels of silver, and these silver can be considered as redemption of the land deed."

After finishing speaking, he folded up the land deed on the gaming table and put away his cuffs, cupped his hands and said 'Farewell', and walked out of the gate of the casino.

All the rogues outside the door were taken aback when they saw the Taoist going out, or turned their eyes to other places and pretended not to see it, or looked at the sky, muttering that they were going home to collect their clothes.
