Tao and Heaven

Chapter 36 Accident
Gu Wen disappeared in the rain with nine top-grade Dragon-Tiger Pills. He did not leave, but turned a corner and walked into the courtyard where Hu Sanyuan's thugs gathered. The hall that was supposed to be used to receive guests was converted into a private gambling house.

The gangsters gathered the gold and silver on the gambling table, yelling with red faces. They looked at the chips on the table as if they were kneeling and begging for mercy after they loaned them money at high interest rates.

Roaring, greedy, vicious.

In the rain, the gate of the courtyard was closed. A man in black clothes and a bamboo hat walked slowly in and picked up a stick at the gate.

I've killed them all anyway, so I don't mind killing a few more.

Just follow your heart, that's all.

The villains looked at him, wondering why a guy with his head covered came in, but that didn't stop them from looking ferocious.

Boom!

A flash of lightning passed by, and in the courtyard, there were corpses all around Gu Wen. Some had died just at the beginning, and some had fallen on the way to escape. Dozens of people were no match for him alone.

The human body is fragile and thugs are too cold-blooded to be brave. They become afraid after killing only seven or eight people.

A few crawled out, but it didn't matter.

Gu Wen rolled up all his money in a piece of cloth, put it on his back, and swaggered out of the mansion. There were several corpses at the door, and He Huan and Hu Sanyuan's wife were riding on a horse.

"Fellow Daoist Hongchen is interested. Carrying so many things only costs a few hundred taels. Is it worth it?"

A big bag can only be worth a few hundred taels at most, so it’s not worth robbing the money.

"If you don't want it, there are plenty of people who do."

Gu Wen stepped out of the door. The rainstorm stopped and the bright moon appeared.

He walked into the alley with brisk steps, grabbed a handful and scattered it on the ground. The refugees hiding in the ditches and alleys were awakened by the crisp sound.

Countless people crawled out and knelt on the ground to pick up the money. They were extremely surprised and cried bitterly, and then kowtowed to Gu Wen's back, as if they could escape from the sea of ​​suffering by getting some change.

Gu Wen knew that most of them would eventually die in the troubled times, but they would care about spending money and caring about getting one thousandth of it to have a good meal.

What I spread is a piece of moonlight, a hope, and a medicine to overcome adversity.

Gu Wen threw the last handful of silver and left in big strides, leaving behind only a hearty laugh.

"Today I have eliminated fifty evils and saved more than a thousand people. If I can rise to the top in the future, I can kill tens of thousands of people, saving people and the world."

His mind became clear, and the sword in his heart shook, growing from the size of a finger to the size of two fingers.

The next day, at Hu Mansion.

Hundreds of yamen runners surrounded the mansion, and countless people were pointing and talking from the outside. As corpses were carried out one by one, cheers could be heard from the crowd.

The people were so excited that they were happier than watching beheadings in the market, which was enough to show how unethical the loan sharks like Hu Sanyuan were. Because of this, most aristocratic families would not use their family names to open money houses to lend money, as they were also afraid that a civil unrest would break out one day and target them.

In the south of the city, there is a public office, similar to the Public Security Bureau of the Capital Region. The chief of the office felt his scalp tingling and he quickly reported the matter.

Knowing that this person was the Ninth Prince's man, he also sent someone to inform Zhao Feng.

So early in the morning, Zhao Feng, who had just finished washing up, was furious and roared: "What kind of lunatic is so bold? How dare you kill people in the divine capital of Bianjing! And what are the public security offices, military patrol stations (armed police), and night watchmen doing? Don't they realize it at all?"

He couldn't imagine that more than fifty young and middle-aged men were killed without any movement.

The young eunuch Feng Baoming, who replaced the old eunuch Feng Xiang, lowered his head and trembled as he answered, "Last night, a night watchman noticed something unusual and went to the nearby wing office."

"Then the bailiffs were dispatched but still couldn't find the murderer?"

"The yamen runners felt that it was dangerous, so they turned around and looked for the patrol soldiers."

"Soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, can't they kill the murderer?"

"The soldiers were drunk and couldn't put on their armor properly, so they waited until they sobered up before going."

"."

Zhao Feng fell completely silent, then his pale face gradually turned red. The entire palace was filled with his roar, and all the servants and palace guards lowered their heads.

The sound reached the courtyard, but Yu Hua lowered his head to read a book and ignored it.

The donkey heard the news, walked into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Bianjing is starting to get lively. I don't know whose descendant is so bold that he has started killing people right under the feet of Emperor Daojun."

"He's just an old man guarding the alchemy furnace." Yu Hua said without raising his head, "His world is about to end, and the sect's True Lords don't know if they are old enough. They are really confused."

The old donkey twitched his lips. After the last incident, the goddess of the Three Pure Ones Sect had really become a goddess. He used to call them "seniors" and was very polite. Now he wanted to point at their noses and scold the old Taoist priestess.

"He might be paralyzed, but he won't die, at least not within ten years. And don't underestimate the Zhao family. There is actually a true master in charge of the border, General Wen Renwu, the pillar of the country." Yu Hua said calmly, "I can also beat him to death."

The old donkey was speechless. Although Yu Hua would lose her foundation if she used her immortal life, she could really kill anyone, and they were not evenly matched.

If Yu Hua could really fully utilize the power of her Grandmaster Qing Cang, and if seven or eight of them died together, she might not be able to kill them all before she ran out of life.

This was the conclusion reached by many True Lords of the Sanqing Taoist sect after confirming the power of Qingcang in Yu Hua.

Of course, the conflict between them could not have reached this point. On the contrary, the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect recognized Yu Hua's right to speak in Daqian and even in the Taoist sect, which was second only to the Chief Heavenly Master.

Little ancestor, you have really become an ancestor.

Lao Lu sighed. He no longer dared to accept benefits from the Zhao family because Yu Hua would really beat him up.

Zhao Feng didn't dare to guard the door anymore, because Yu Hua would really beat him until he was paralyzed.

Even the Emperor Daojun stopped hinting at or instigating Zhao Feng, because Yu Hua could really overturn his alchemy furnace.

All the True Lords could accept these changes, except the kid from the Zhao family, who was still confused. Perhaps he was not at a level that could understand how shocking the Dharma image that day was, and he could not see it either. He just placed his hopes on the Dao and the token.

"Zhao Feng is preparing to build his Dao, and it is estimated that he will refine the jade pendant within this year."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"This little ancestor, he is your protector after all."

"He doesn't deserve it."

Yu Hua's voice was calm, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lao Lu, like the voice from heaven.

"I am already at the top of the Heaven Ranking, so my protector should be the best in the world. If not, then I don't need him. Let him hold on to the jade pendant and be complacent."

If Gu Wen doesn't want it, then she doesn't have to give in.

Gu Mansion
Gu Wen woke up feeling refreshed. It was the best sleep he had ever had in five years, as if he had released the anger that had been suppressed in his chest for many years.

And this is not a one-time outburst; it will be a continuous and irreversible trend.

After counting the spoils of last night, there were nine top-grade dragon-tiger pills. They were of little use to me, but could be traded for twenty-five times the value, making them worth a magic weapon.

With a deposit of 4,500 taels and nine top-grade dragon-tiger pills, he was quite wealthy.

Boom boom boom!
"Master Wen, wake up!"

There was a sudden knock on the door. Gu Wen had a good memory and recognized that it was Feng Baoming, the new eunuch in the palace.

It is said that the chief eunuch of the palace was surnamed Feng, so all the eunuchs in Daqian had the surname Feng.

As expected, when I opened the door, the eunuch said anxiously, "Master Wen, the Ninth Prince summoned you. Please pack up and follow me to the palace."

What happened this time?

Gu Wen was not panicked at all. There were no cameras in ancient times, and he had always been just a businessman on the surface.

About an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the palace.

During this time, Gu Wen saw a familiar face, Bai Sheng He Huan, who was dressed in a dashing manner, being pulled by a young woman on Longqiao Street. After a little inquiry, he found out that the woman was the daughter of the current Minister of War. She then got on a carriage and went back home.

Gu Wen could only sigh that having a good appearance was also an advantage.

Secondly, Gu Wen saw a monk drinking and eating without paying, so he said that he didn't want to give money to bad people. Then he started fighting with the restaurant waiter, fighting against more than a dozen people alone and not losing, so the soldiers came to the scene.

Then the soldiers were unable to defeat the wine-drinking and meat-eating monk. He judged that he was also a worldly person, but he ignored it.

I won't offend others unless they offend me. There is no profit to be made and there is no need to cause trouble for myself.

Gu Wen walked down and went to the study to see Zhao Feng, who was still as sick as last time.

When Zhao Feng saw Gu Wen, he stood up and grabbed his hand, saying, "Gu Qing, you are the only person left by my side. I need you to do something."

"Your Highness, please tell me. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Gu Wen spoke the polite words without blinking.

"Recently, the king of this country ordered some elixirs from Longqiao Qianfeng Tower, and originally gave them to Hu Sanyuan to make. But I didn't expect that the dog slave would do more harm than good. He was killed last night, and the elixirs were also lost."

Zhao Feng frowned, then changed the subject and said:
"Gu Qing, I need you to take over this matter and go to Qianfeng Tower to buy elixirs."

Gu Wen blinked. There are benefits that come right to your door?
