Taoist Master: I have a strange world

Chapter 27 The Old Guanzhu’s otherworldly legacy
  Through the old temple master, Zhang Ling learned that cinnabar can be used to refine elixirs, practice martial arts, and even refine weapons in this world.

But I didn't know it was so valuable.

Same price as gold!
  This means that the pound of cinnabar brought by Zhang Ling can even be exchanged for a pound of gold.

You know, in reality, cinnabar is just over four hundred pounds per pound, comparable to one gram of gold.

According to this conversion, Zhang Ling can sell a pound of cinnabar in exchange for a pound of gold, and he can sell it for 210,000 or 20,000 yuan immediately after returning to reality!

Of course, even in this world, the purchasing power of gold is quite strong.

Otherwise, the old temple master would not have been targeted, or even plotted to the point of death.

"Cinnabar is still a high-end product. I can't sell it casually like the old patron."

"At least, you can't sell it casually in this town, otherwise it will easily attract people's attention, and you might even recruit Wudu Weng in advance."

Although Zhang Ling was a little moved, he had no intention of selling the cinnabar he brought.

"I'll send one to the Taoist priest!"

In this way, Zhang Ling and Liu Dalin chatted casually for a while, and then saw Liu Dashan and his son rushing over.

Therefore, Zhang Ling accepted Liu Dashan's thanks calmly.

But now Liu Dashan takes the initiative to send him out, and there is no one around.

Liu Dashan and his father thanked Zhang Ling together, and said excitedly that they would not forget their promise and the whole family would go to the Taoist temple to chant sutras for three days.

Zhang Ling nodded slightly, now he also knew it through the old temple master.

They saw Zhang Ling with surprises on their faces.

In reality, he still has some savings, but he is not in a hurry to use cinnabar to obtain gold.

Zhang Ling didn't stay at the drug store for long, got up and left.

Zhang Ling's heart moved and he simply asked directly.

It was a rare trip to the town. Since Zhang Ling was gathering some information, he also needed to do some things of his own.

Wanting to be promoted from the temple is also related to this kind of 'performance'.

"That's great, thank you, Master Taoist."

Every temple leader has his or her own tasks.

During the natural cycle, there must be enough people to worship and recite sutras.

"The matter is over, I will take my leave now."

"Taoist Priest!"

Liu Dashan took the initiative to send Zhang Ling off.

Furthermore, the old temple master also left a house in the town, and there might be something in it.

Originally, Zhang Ling planned to ask Liu Dashan about the live scorpion buyer after he returned.

Zhang Ling smiled lightly and said: "Liu Dashan, the evil spirit in your home has been dealt with. You can go back today."

"Liu Dashan, you said that a big shot recently bought live scorpions at a high price. Is he an upright temple owner?"

Temple Zheng and Temple Master are both similar titles. If a temple like Zhang Ling is in charge of a place, it can be called Temple Zheng or Temple Master.

However, the popular rule is that only the strongest person in the nearby temple can be called the temple owner.

According to the words of the old temple master, the strength of Wudu Weng was the strongest in almost all the temples outside the town, and he was vaguely the temple master in the area.

"How does the Taoist priest know?"

After hearing Zhang Ling's question, Liu Dashan said in surprise.

After getting such an answer, Zhang Ling already knew it.

"Maybe Wu Duweng really needs live scorpions, and I don't know what's special about the "Earth Scorpion Tongsha Jue"."

The old temple master had obtained the "Moon Toad Swallowing Yin Technique" in the "Five Poison Refining" and also passed this method to Zhang Ling.

The "Earth Scorpion Tongsha Jue" has not been handed down, because the old temple master led him to transform into a half-scorpion because of an evil spirit, and he himself did not practice the "Earth Scorpion Tongsha Jue".

Therefore, even if Zhang Ling wanted to know why Wu Duweng used live scorpions to practice, he would not be able to understand the mystery.

"Your willow tree has also been preserved, so it won't affect your ability to catch scorpions and insects in the future."

Zhang Ling did not answer Liu Dashan, but changed the topic.

Liu Dashan immediately thanked Zhang Ling happily and did not think that Zhang Ling's question just now had any profound meaning. Zhang Ling quickly parted ways with Liu Dashan. He walked around the town and then touched a street.

This street is located in the center of the town. Just a house is worth something.

The most important thing is that it is also very close to the ‘Liu Yuntang’ in the town.

According to the words left by the old temple master, practicing closer to Liuyuntang will be much more efficient.

"right here."

Zhang Ling found a house according to the characteristics told by the old temple master, but the door was still locked and could not be opened.

He looked around and saw no one on either side, so he took two steps back slightly and suddenly ran two steps.

Swish!
  The magic power in Zhang Ling's body moved slightly, urging the 'Pegasus and Cloud Feet' to move. The small wings at his feet flickered slightly, providing a force for leaping.

Zhang Ling easily jumped over the two-meter-high wall.

Bang!
  Zhang Ling landed, his body light and light, not heavy at all. It was just the wind blowing up a few fallen leaves around him.

He took a look and saw that this house had a front yard and a backyard, with a second room in the middle, divided into a front hall and a back hall.

Zhang Ling glanced at the ground and saw that some dust had accumulated.

But apart from the dust, there are still pairs of footprints.

"Someone has been here in the past few days!"

Zhang Ling's heart trembled as he realized this.

According to the old viewer, the arrangement of his house is not secretive, but there are hidden spaces in the house that he uses to store some things.

"Is it that Wu Duweng? After plotting against the old temple master, he came here to search?"

Zhang Ling looked at the footprints on the ground, which were quite messy. It was obvious that he was not walking around the courtyard normally.

The next moment, Zhang Ling slowly entered the house with a little caution.

He could see that both the front hall and the back hall were a bit messy, and the doors and windows were not closed properly.

Even the tables and chairs were swayed here and there, showing signs of being rummaged through.

However, apart from these traces, there is no sign that anyone lived in it.

This means that the other party just searched the courtyard and left.

"To Wu Duweng, the old temple master is not considered dead. He should have escaped."

"So, Wu Duweng should also be worried about the return of the old temple master. He doesn't know that the old temple master has died, and even the ghost has been sent to the underworld of this world by a rebirth curse."

Zhang Ling suddenly realized this.

The old temple master was plotted by Wu Duweng, and then his soul could not return. However, due to his body's instinct, he returned to modern times through the Sanqing Shenjian.

In Wu Duweng's view, this kind of departure may be some kind of secret escape.

"That is to say, Wu Duweng is probably also in panic."

"In this case, the most likely thing for him is to pay close attention to the affairs of the Taoist temple."

"Perhaps, my recent actions have been known to Wudu Weng, and he regards me as an old temple master."

Zhang Ling thought as he came to the back hall.

In this room, there is a scroll with the word "Tao" hanging on one wall. According to the words of the old temple master, the secret grid he prepared is right next to it.

Zhang Ling opened his eyes and glanced up and down, but found that his eyes were useless against the wall.

"Sure enough, this house is made of bluestone, and ordinary eyes cannot see through it."

Zhang Ling was not surprised and nodded slightly. He had heard this from the old temple master.

Zhang Ling stepped forward in person and stretched out his hand to grope on the wall.

Soon, Zhang Ling's expression changed.

"found it."

With a tap of his hand, he easily pried a brick open, and then slowly pulled it away.

Inside, there is a hidden compartment, which contains the remains of the old temple master.
