The ultimate master in the city

Monk Yuanzhi asked, "Why did the Miao shamans kill Axigong's fellow disciples?"

Zhang Shisan shook his head. "Old Man A-Kui and his gang are idiots. They're completely clueless and know nothing, yet they're so stubborn. When the Miao shaman questioned them, they argued back, and as a result, they were killed. Not only did the Miao shaman's men kill them, but they also used corpse poison to frame Old Dragon Crane, hoping to get the police to come after them. Isn't that ridiculous? Haha."

"Why are those Miao shamans and corpse drivers arresting me and my wife, Ah Xigong?" Monk Yuanzhi asked in confusion.

"Oh!" Zhang Shisan exclaimed in realization, then asked Zhou Fengchen, "So the friend you mentioned who was captured by A-Tu Po is A-Xi Gong's wife?"

Zhou Fengchen nodded. "That's right!"

Zhang Shisan smacked his lips. "Axi Palace's wife is Old Dragon Crane's niece. What kind of business is it for a niece to bring Taoist priests and monks to cause trouble? Is this something a woman should be involved in? If we don't arrest you accomplices, who should we arrest? As for the Miao witch arresting Axi Palace's wife, I guess it's purely to disgust Old Dragon Crane, it's meaningless!"

"That old crane dragon is ruthless enough, killing his nephew-in-law without batting an eye." Monk Yuanzhi sighed, then asked suspiciously, "How do you know so much? Did the Asi Palace tell you in a dream?"

Zhang Shisan chuckled, "Axi Gong called my master 'Uncle.' You think my master would just let it go after he died? Two years ago, my master came in person, and Old Dragon Crane apologized, even slapping himself in the face. Even Atu Po, one of the five elders on the list of the Hundred-Knowledge Monks of the Martial World, expressed her apologies. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't be over! What level is my master at?"

"I see!" Monk Yuanzhi nodded. "I truly envy those who have masters and lineages!"

Zhang Shisan exclaimed "Huh?" and asked Zhou Fengchen, "What sect or school do you belong to? You've mastered Qi cultivation and are almost at the external elixir stage! Wow! Even the later members of the Ten Great Masters are only at this level!"

Zhou Fengchen waved his hand, "I'm a self-taught swordsman, I don't want to talk about it, come on! Let's have a drink!"

"Dry!"

The three of them drank some wine and devoured some mutton. Zhou Fengchen thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think? What if some kind of evil creature is really about to be born in Miao territory?"

Zhang Shisan and Monk Yuanzhi looked at each other, and Zhang Shisan said, "That's none of our business! Someone else will take care of it."

"That's right!" Zhou Fengchen nodded and said to Monk Yuanzhi, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and we need to hurry back to celebrate the New Year. We can't just wander around in these mountains. We need to think about it."

Monk Yuanzhi was taken aback and asked, "What are you planning?"

Zhou Fengchen exclaimed, "Damn it! There's a Mother Gu in the corpse in Axi Palace, it'll be tough to get it back, but the landlady and Old Chu are in the hands of the Miao witch, we have to find a way to get them back, right?"

Zhang Shisan said, "Didn't I tell you? The Miao Wu Village isn't open right now. Besides, Ah Xigong's wife is already dead, and even if she's not, there's no rush!"

Monk Yuanzhi said, "Old Zhang is right! It's more important to help me find a place to settle things first!"

"Then it's decided!" Zhou Fengchen said. "First, we'll get you some revenge. We'll catch those corpse-drivers, beat them up, make them kowtow, and then when Shangguan Xianyun has her dating event, we'll go demand the people back. If they don't, I'll turn their lousy village upside down!"

"Give us some face! After all, it's my future wife's family." Zhang Shisan rubbed his nose. "Besides, why call it a dating event? They call it an engagement ceremony!"

"I'm giving you face! Go eat your chicken butt!" Monk Yuanzhi slapped him and asked Zhou Fengchen, "Old Chu got arrested, but my nephew didn't, did he? Where is he?"

Zhou Fengchen slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten about Xiaobao. He'd almost thrown the rattle drum away several times. He got up, drew the curtains, took out the rattle drum, and shook it twice. "Xiaobao!"

The little ghost child suddenly appeared, looking rather listless. His eyes lit up when he saw Monk Yuanzhi, "Grandpa!"

"Hey! Nephew!" Monk Yuanzhi chuckled, bowing his head to ask, "Would you like some mutton?"

"Mmm." Xiao Bao obediently moved closer to the table, glanced at Zhou Fengchen, and then looked at Zhang Shisan, a little timidly.

Zhang Shisan was taken aback, then pointed at Xiao Bao, "Isn't this thing a Yin Sha ghost fetus? Why are you raising this thing? It's so naughty."

"His son, born to his ghostly wife." Monk Yuanzhi pointed at Zhou Fengchen, then at Zhang Shisan, "Call him brother."

"Get the hell out of here! You're so foul-mouthed!" Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan said in unison.

……

The poison in Monk Yuanzhi had not been completely cleared, but Zhou Fengchen had the inner core of the old snake Honglang. He prepared six doses over two days for Monk Yuanzhi to take. Good heavens, the effect was immediate, and he was full of energy!

Moreover, having consumed both the tree demon's inner core and the old snake's inner core, the combined effect of the two cores made Monk Yuanzhi incredibly powerful, possessing strength as great as an ox. He kept asking, "Am I okay? Will I get food poisoning? Will it affect my fertility?"

Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan were overjoyed.

Early on the third day, Zhou Fengchen and his group gave Liu Zhenguo's family a few instructions, asked them to find a way to support the intellectually disabled woman, and then left the village, trudging through the snow to find a place to settle scores.

Monk Yuanzhi didn't know where the old house of the corpse-driving master, Laolong the Dragon Head Crane, was. He went in unconscious and was carried out unconscious, but he knew it was near a town called "Bald Head Ridge." He had heard the people who captured him mention it when he went there, so he should be able to find out when he got there.

This "Bald Ridge" is located in a deep mountain valley directly west of Liu Zhenguo's house. It requires a 90-mile mountain road to reach, and there are no vehicles that can enter.

The three of them leisurely enjoyed the snowy scenery along the way, and casually discussed how to deal with those corpse-transporters: burn their houses! Beat their children! Kiss their daughters!

When I got excited, my blood was pumping.

By noon, I was getting a bit frustrated. All I could see were mountains, and I hadn't even seen half a village. I wondered if I had taken the wrong path.

As dusk fell, they crossed two hills and a river, but still hadn't seen a single person. The three of them were getting a little anxious. Zhou Fengchen asked, "Brother Monk, do you know the way?"

"How would I know them?" Monk Yuanzhi stared with his bull-like eyes, then turned to Zhang Shisan and asked, "Old Zhang...you know them, right?"

Zhang Shisan pointed to his nose, "You're asking me? I'm the most notorious directionally challenged person in Longhu Mountain. Everyone, young and old, women and children, knows me. My master has praised me countless times!"

Monk Yuanzhi said, "Your master praised you? How can your master be so magnanimous?"

Zhang Shisan said smugly, "My master said that people who easily get lost are simple-minded, and he's absolutely right. I'm a very simple-minded person."

Monk Yuanzhi scoffed, "Is your master stupid?"

Zhang Shisan got angry: "You think I won't beat you to a pulp?"

Monk Yuanzhi stretched out his neck and said, "Come on! Hit me here. If you touch me, I'll lie down in front of your house and have barbecue three times a day, plus bird's nest soup at night. If you're not satisfied, I'll roll around on the ground and act like a brat, saying your sister defiled me!"

"Damn it!" Zhang Shisan cursed. "Why don't you hit me? I envy this kind of life too!"

Zhou Fengchen said impatiently, "Can you two stop fooling around?"

Zhou Fengchen looked around, scratched his head, and said, "I know nothing!"

I like the novel "The Strongest Master in the City".
