I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 154 Friendship
Chen Qingyuan glanced at the gangster Wavy Hair and said, "You guys did a great job on this matter. Now I need to talk to Mr. Zhang alone for a while, so you guys step aside."

Wavy Hair nodded quickly and said, "Of course, of course. We are right outside. If Brother Chen needs anything, just call us. The brothers outside will come in right away!"

Dozens of people in the dance hall rushed out, leaving only Chen Qingyuan and Zhang Dashao.

Facing the confused Master Zhang, Chen Qingyuan did not like to be a riddler, and said straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I am Chen Qingyuan, a disciple of the Lushan Sannai Sect from the Fujian area of ​​the mainland. To be frank, our Lushan Sect is committed to eradicating evil in the world. Good and evil cannot coexist, and the battle will determine the winner and loser!

Last year, an old Taoist friend told me about ancient events, and I accidentally learned that there was a Zhang family in Hong Kong Island. They learned Maoshan Taoism and sealed a cat demon that was causing trouble for the people. Because it was cruel and had nine lives, the Zhang family would kill it every fifty years when the cat demon was reborn. From four hundred years ago to now... it seems that the cat demon should have one life left..."

Young Master Zhang's Maoshan technique is inherited from his family.

He has lived in Hong Kong Island for almost his entire life and has never left the island. He has occasionally met disciples from other sects, but few of them have real skills...

Practicing Taoism is very difficult. It requires perseverance, determination, courage, and talent.

He has been practicing for so long, but he can only be considered an entry-level practitioner.

Young Master Zhang said, "Lvshan... I have read a little about it in ancient books. It seems that it was a sect that was derived from a girl named Chen who accidentally entered the mountain during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty."

Seeing that he only had a vague understanding of Lushan, Chen Qingyuan told him the legend of Lushan and Chen Jinggu.

Young Master Zhang was stunned when he heard this. He said, "Famous Taoist mountains include Maoshan, Laoshan, Longhushan, Maoshan, etc. All of these can be traced in reality... But the Taoist friend's Lushan is said to be hidden in the center of the Minjiang River, and only those who are destined can enter..."

His meaning is very simple, but it seems a bit vague and rootless.

Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Lushan only cares about chance, not other things. The number of disciples doesn't matter. If you really need a place to stay, there is the Sannai Sect around the Minjiang River. Don't listen to the name, it seems very gentle. In fact, the three goddesses of the Sannai Sect are very powerful..."

Young Master Zhang said "oh".

He said: "Daoyou, the real target is the cat demon."

Chen Qingyuan nodded and said, "Yes, our Lushan takes it as our duty to eliminate evil. Since we know about the cat demon, we naturally have to come and take a look at the situation and make sure that the cat demon is eliminated."

Young Master Zhang suddenly felt warm in his heart, as if he had found a like-minded comrade.

He lived to be fifty-eight years old, and it was too lonely to practice alone until now...

If his father had not personally taken him to seal the cat demon when he was eight years old and if he had not seen the cat demon's hideous and terrifying appearance with his own eyes, Young Master Zhang would have doubted the authenticity of the cat demon.

He sighed and said, "Fifty years ago, when I was only eight years old, my father took me to the mountains to catch a cat demon. He was in a stalemate with the cat demon because of his limited magical power. He had no choice but to call on me to pierce his heart with a talisman arrow and kill him and the cat demon together. I was young, ignorant and fearless at that time, so I did whatever my father said... Alas..."

Chen Qingyuan had seen the movie, and the scene at the beginning of the movie emerged in his mind: a cat demon with a face full of white hair was wrestling with a Taoist priest. As the Taoist priest called out, a little boy rushed out of the bushes holding a talisman arrow and pierced the hearts of both the Taoist priest and the cat demon at the same time.

It was great that the Taoist priest sacrificed himself to subdue the cat demon.

But then again, the little boy is quite strong.

Young Master Zhang said in a depressed mood: "Fifty years is just a blink of an eye for monsters, but it is almost a lifetime for us humans. I am fifty-eight years old this year. In order not to drag down my daughter, I have moved into a nursing home and watch those old men and women perform every day. I am not afraid of being laughed at by fellow Taoists.

The Zhang family has been fighting demons for 400 years, and now the cat demon is only left with one life. Just three hours ago, I sensed the cat demon's birth, and hurried over with my magic weapon, only to find that the cat demon had broken through the seal and ran away. I am now in the open, and the demon cat is in the dark. I am afraid that it will just run away and disappear, and I am also afraid that it will hate the Zhang family and harm my daughter..."

Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I'm here right now."

Young Master Zhang felt comforted, but also felt something was wrong. Chen Qingyuan, the disciple of Lushan, was too young. The cat demon had existed for four hundred years, and it was too dangerous to deal with. He was fifty-eight years old, so even if he died, it would be fine. But Chen Qingyuan looked only twenty-five years old, and it was too unfair for him to die at the hands of the cat demon.

He was about to refuse.

Chen Qingyuan said: "Fellow Taoist, don't think too much. Since I have learned Taoism, how could I retreat? In fact, we learn Taoism to slay demons and monsters just like the police catch bad guys. We can't retreat just because we are afraid of death. If we retreat in the face of demons and monsters, and the police also retreat in the face of bad guys, then ordinary people in this world will have no spiritual sustenance..."

He thought of the soldiers guarding the border and the anti-drug police who hid their identities and fought against drug lords on the brink of life and death day and night.

The world is so bright.

Just because someone is carrying the burden forward in the darkness.

Chen Qingyuan knew that his heart was not pure, and he did not have true justice or kindness, but that did not prevent him from respecting those who were truly working hard for the continuation of light.

Young Master Zhang was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Chen Qingyuan's hands: "Thank you..."

As the communication deepened, the two people got to know each other better.

As night fell, many men and women came to the dance hall but were turned away. When Zhang Dashao saw them, he smiled and said, "Since Chen Daoyou is from the mainland, how could he have anything to do with our Hong Kong Island club?"

He is a local.

He knew very well that these gangs were capable of all kinds of evil, including running dance halls, casinos, and red-light districts, selling ecstasy, selling white flour, lending money at high interest rates, and forcing women of good families into prostitution to make pornographic films. Moreover, they would often compete for territory and would gather in large groups of people on the streets to fight each other with machetes, causing rivers of blood and scaring many people. They were simply the worst of beasts.

It's not easy to subdue these things.

Chen Qingyuan laughed loudly, and a Merit Banner fell into his palm out of thin air with his right hand. The banner pole fell heavily on the tile floor, shattering the cracks. He said, "Communication was not smooth at the beginning. They gathered more than 500 people to chop me with knives. In the end, I showed the Merit Banner I made and took away about 300 souls, which frightened them..."

Merit, merit banner?
Young Master Zhang looked at the "Banner of Merit" that Chen Qingyuan had displayed in some surprise. The banner was filled with a sinister aura, and its surface seemed to be stained with blood. There were also faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling...

Ugh.

Prejudice between people is a huge mountain.

Chen Qingyuan was very puzzled why every fellow Taoist showed this expression when he saw the Merit Banner for the first time.

He said, "This banner is similar to your Maoshan Soul-Calling Banner. It has become so strange in appearance because it has absorbed many evil souls. In fact... it is not evil in itself. It is like a pistol. In the hands of a bad guy, it is a murder weapon, but in the hands of a good guy, it is a weapon to uphold justice. I believe that fellow Taoist is not a person who simply judges good and evil based on appearance..."
