Turbid World: Martial Arts Master of the Republic of China Era, I Cultivate Immortality!

Anping County, Chengdong

No. 49 Wangyun Road, Zuowang Temple.

As the carriage stopped, Daoist Tianyi got off first, but when Zhao Zheng was about to get off, he was stopped by Qian Mu, who had a furrowed brow. He only heard Qian Mu say...

"I did help you once, after all..."

"We have no reason to lie to you!"

Knowing what Qian Mu was about to say, Zhao Zheng uttered a sentence. Qian Mu was silent for a moment, then said in a bewildered and puzzled tone, "So, it's all because of that auspicious feng shui location?"

"That's how it looks right now. There might be a fierce battle tomorrow. I think you'd better go to the police station now to prepare."

"I see……"

Qian Mu nodded and stopped Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng got off the carriage and walked into the gate of the Taoist temple. What he saw was a circle of neighbors and worshippers. Were they obviously watching something interesting?

My senior brother embarrassed himself?

Zhao Zheng's lips curled up, and he called out "Make way!" As the crowd dispersed and shouted "Master Zhao, you've finally returned!", he saw what the so-called commotion was all about.

"You've finally come back! You heartless bastard, you stole the money my son left behind! Give it back to me right now! If you don't return the thousand silver dollars my son left me today, this old woman will kill herself right here in this Taoist temple..."

The one speaking was Zhang Li Shi, who was crying while clinging to Xiang Yu's leg. She was also the mother of Er Lai Zi, who had been torn to pieces by the snake demon.

And Xiang Yu, who spoke up saying you framed him, and Master Tianyi, who stood to the side without speaking, only frowning.

"I stole your money?"

Zhao Zheng laughed, looking at the neighbors and worshippers who were watching the commotion, and said with a strange expression, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, you better return the money my son left behind! If you don't return the money my son left behind, I'll kill myself right here today!"

Zhang Lishi, who clung to Xiang Yu's leg and wouldn't let go, was also a ruthless person. As she spoke, she started banging her head against the ground repeatedly.

Blood was drawn in no time. Master Tianyi instinctively tried to stop him, only to see Zhao Zheng pull out a box-shaped gun from behind his back.

"Do you think that because we took pity on you and left you some money, you can take advantage of us good people?"

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare! Just shoot me... Anyway, you took all the money my son left behind, sob sob sob, this old woman doesn't want to live anymore..."

Zhang Li was sobbing and talking, and she even tried to drag Xiang Yu toward Zhao Zheng so that Zhao Zheng would shoot her dead.

"You don't need to come over, I'll go to you!"

Zhao Zheng stepped forward with a smile, which made Daoist Tianyi frown. However, he did not stop him. He just watched as Zhao Zheng came to Zhang Lishi and pointed the muzzle of the box gun at Zhang Lishi's forehead.

"If you've got the guts, then kill me! Everyone, be the judge! These three fake Taoist priests stole..." Zhang Lishi stopped talking.

With a loud gunshot, she shut up. Not only did she shut up, but the neighbors and worshippers who were watching the commotion were also startled.

The entire Taoist temple fell silent. Zhang Li's eyes widened in horror as she trembled, touching her ears, which were still ringing from the gunshot, and the blood on her palms. She screamed.

"Ah, you...you fired..."

"If you don't leave in three seconds, I'll send you away!"

Zhao Zheng pressed the gun barrel against Zhang Li's forehead again, ignoring her shouts, and began to count down.

"Three, two..."

"You wait, I'm going to the police station to report you and have the officers arrest you three damned fake Taoist priests..."

Zhang Li, her face filled with terror, released Xiang Yu's leg, darted out of the crowd, and ran to the entrance of the Taoist temple, shouting and cursing.

Zhang Li's clownish behavior made the neighbors and worshippers present burst into laughter, while Zhao Zheng disdainfully put away the box gun.

"I gave her nearly a hundred yuan for nothing!"

Upon hearing this, some of the onlookers in the crowd quietly slipped away, their eyes darting around, while Daoist Tianyi forced a smile despite his furrowed brows.

"Alright, everyone, you may leave now. It's afternoon, and we need to close the museum. Please come again tomorrow to offer incense and pray..."

After everyone had left, Master Tianyi closed the gate of the Taoist temple, and Xiang Yu spoke with some concern.

"Won't she actually call the police later?"

"She has to be alive until tomorrow!"

Master Tianyi said something that left Xiang Yu completely bewildered. He didn't explain, but simply frowned and looked at Zhao Zheng.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"Uncle-Master..."

"Um?"

"I've calculated it, she won't die!"

Zhao Zheng looked directly into Master Tianyi's eyes, then turned and walked towards the Taoist temple. Of course, there was something else he didn't say.

That is, Zhang Li will suffer some injuries in a while. He doesn't know how serious the injuries are, but he does know one thing: Zhang Li will not bother him again.

"Master, what are you talking about? What's with all this talk about her being dead or alive?"

Looking at the silent Daoist Tianyi, Xiang Yu took two steps back cautiously, his face full of doubt, before asking.

"..."

Therefore,

Why did I take you as my apprentice back then?

Master Tianyi looked at Xiang Yu with disdain, who still didn't know what had happened, and then at Zhao Zheng in the main hall, who had almost killed someone with just a few words. He then said to Xiang Yu.

"Come closer, I'll tell you!"

"Haha, Master, I suddenly remembered that the courtyard needs to be cleaned..." Xiang Yu suddenly laughed, quickly ran to the side, picked up a broom, and began to clean up the trash left by the worshippers in the courtyard.

"..."

Master Tianyi looked disgusted, then stepped into the main hall and came to Zhao Zheng, who was standing in front of the Three Pure Ones statue.

He looked at the incense burner filled with incense sticks with a twitching smile, picked up three sticks, lit them, and put them into the burner. He didn't say anything after doing this.

Time flew by, and the two disciples stood in front of the Three Pure Ones statue for a quarter of an hour. Xiang Yu, who had already cleaned the courtyard outside, secretly thought to himself, "Be careful, two of you..."

Xiang Yu didn't speak, but kept his head down and continued sweeping the floor, his expression one of horror as he muttered to himself, "What the hell?"

Inside the main hall, Daoist Tianyi and Zhao Zheng turned around at the same time, and the atmosphere fell silent again. Daoist Tianyi couldn't help but speak.

"Are you... angry?"

"No!"

"..."

"I'm starting to understand why my elder brother took you as his disciple!" Master Tianyi thought to himself, speechless, and coughed as he clenched his fist.

"Your uncle is just worried that you might go astray..."

"I see!"

"...Uncle-Master Jin...was wrong!"

Master Tianyi spoke with some frustration, admitting that he had misunderstood Zhao Zheng, but he hadn't thought that much about it at the time.

He only thought Zhao Zheng wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work, but he didn't expect Zhao Zheng to have such a long-term vision. He had been judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

"really!"

"..."

Master Tianyi stared expressionlessly at Zhao Zheng, who quickly retreated a few steps as he looked in his direction. He took a few deep breaths, suppressing the urge to slap the creature, and spoke.

"Go, take a bath and change your clothes to prepare. Your master will confer your ordination certificate in a moment, registering your name in the Heavenly Court and officially entering the Daoist sect!"

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

Zhao Zheng paused for a moment, then bowed to the master as a disciple. Master Tianyi didn't say anything, but simply waved his hand and said, "Go and bathe and change your clothes."

"Um."

Zhao Zheng nodded and walked out of the main hall. Just as he was about to step out of the threshold, he stopped.

He raised an eyebrow and kicked away an impossibly round pebble on the ground, then turned to look at Daoist Tianyi, who had his back to him and was looking up at the statue of the Three Pure Ones.

One to say one,

That old man is so petty!

To be honest,

This thing is really wary!

Master Tianyi pursed his lips. "Don't misunderstand, he wasn't talking about Zhao Zheng. He just suddenly thought of something."

……

An hour later,

Main hall.

However, the main hall was no longer just filled with statues of the Three Pure Ones, but instead had a slightly smaller statue of the Three Mao True Lords placed below the Three Pure Ones.

"Hmm? You're not surprised?"

Wearing a Taoist robe, Master Tianyi looked at Zhao Zheng, who had changed into the robe and entered the main hall, with some curiosity. Zhao Zheng shook his head and said...

"Not surprised at all. When I saw that my master left me such a small inheritance, I knew he must have other plans!"

His master, in a way... could be said to be the first person in Zhao Zheng's heart to feel admiration for.

"..." x2

Ignoring the admiration on Xiang Yu's face, Master Tianyi felt as if all the words he had prepared to say had been forcibly swallowed back.

"Huh? This wasn't prepared by my master?"

"It was...prepared by your master!"

Master Tianyi curled his lip and said that he suddenly began to think that his disciple Xiang Yu was not bad. At least Xiang Yu would let him finish speaking, unlike this junior disciple in front of him.
