Chapter 103 Interlude
There are guests coming, how can Zhang Chu not entertain them?
After leaving the charity cemetery, Zhang Chu headed towards Xintengfei Town.
The main purpose of those guests coming here was to resolve the issue of the mass grave. As the mayor of Tengfei Town, Ren Tianxing had an obligation to do so.
Even if Tengfei Town has moved away, so what?
In this era of underdeveloped transportation, how far can we move even if we want to?
As soon as the horrific existence beneath the mass grave comes into the world, the first to bear the brunt are the residents of Tengfei Town who have just moved away from here.
Zhang Chu's speed was not slow. With the martial arts he had collected in the Liancheng world and his tireless body, he was traveling at a very fast speed.
It was only a distance of about ten or twenty miles, and it didn't take long at all to reach Xintengfei Town.
Maybe because the new Tengfei Town was newly built, its planning and layout is more reasonable and it looks much neater than the old Tengfei Town.
As you step into Xintengfei Town, you will see a bustling scene.
The town was newly built and the townspeople were very happy as they moved into new homes without spending much money.
"Greetings, Taoist Priest!"
As soon as Zhang Chu stepped into the town, he was seen by the townspeople of Tengfei Town, who immediately came forward to greet him.
As I said, in a world where demons and monsters are rampant, having a Taoist priest with real skills settle down near them is also a guarantee for the townspeople, a guarantee of safety.
At the very least, if they really encounter ghosts, they still have hope and don’t have to close their eyes and wait for death.
Hearing the townspeople's slightly awed greetings, Zhang Chu simply nodded, with no intention of responding, and instead continued walking forward.
"Master,"
As he was walking, the captain of the town hall, Afeng, who was also the security captain, who was strolling around the town, saw him and walked up to him enthusiastically, "You are here."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Chu nodded, "Where's your uncle? I have something to ask him!"
"My uncle is at home!"
As A Feng walked, he said, "My cousin is back, and my uncle is busy at home!"
"Your cousin?"
Zhang Chu glanced at A Feng and asked, "Mayor Ren's daughter?"
"Exactly!"
When Afeng talked about this, he seemed quite excited. It was obvious that he had admired his cousin for a long time.
"Oh~"
Zhang Chu nodded, without saying anything more, and followed Afeng towards Ren Tianxing.
Soon, they arrived at the end of the street in Xintengfei Town, where a rather grand house was built. It was Ren Tianxing's home.
"Master, please come in!"
Without any notification, Afeng took Zhang Chu directly in.
In the Ren family, there was another series of greetings.
Zhang Chu has become a frequent visitor to the Ren family. Although the Ren family has moved to a new house, the people are still the same old people.
They were very clear about how much respect their master had for Zhang Chu, so naturally they did not dare to neglect him.
When Zhang Chu just stepped into the Ren family, someone had already gone to the backyard to report to Ren Tianxing.
"cousin,"
Just as I walked to the middle courtyard, a girl who looked a bit Western came over. When she saw Ah Feng, she frowned for a moment, but still came forward and asked, "Why are you here?"
Then he looked towards Zhang Chu, as if he was a little disgusted, "And who is this?"
"He is the Taoist priest of immortality,"
A Feng quickly introduced himself, "I'm here to see my uncle!"
Having said this, A Feng looked back and asked, "Why didn't my uncle come over?"
"Master, she is my cousin, Ren Qing."
After hearing the introduction, Zhang Chu just nodded slightly and didn't intend to pay any attention.
With Zhang Chu's keen perception, how could he not sense that Ren Tianxing's daughter, Ren Qing, disliked him?
"My father is busy!"
Ren Qing looked at Zhang Chu and didn't see how powerful he was. Instead, he looked like a sickly person without a trace of life. "I don't have time to see any strangers now!"
"Ah Qing,"
As soon as he finished speaking, A Feng's expression changed. He glanced at Zhang Chu, who had an expressionless face, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Although Afeng is a little greedy and lustful, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what is most important.
He was quite clear that the issue of the mass grave had not yet been resolved.
Now is the time to use Zhang Chu. If my cousin offends Zhang Chu, it will be difficult to deal with.
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
Ren Qing had no intention of backing down, "He is just a believer in feudal superstition!"
"I don't know what kind of magic potion you gave my father."
"But now that I'm back, all those little tricks of yours are useless!"
When the servant of the Ren family heard what their young lady said, he went to the backyard to inform Ren Tianxing without any hesitation.
Is it superstition or not? Who can know it better than those who have experienced it personally?
However, Zhang Chu had no intention of refutation. If the spiritual energy disappeared after a few decades, then what she said was right. This was superstition and a hoax.
However, the Dharma Ending Age has not yet arrived completely, and demons, ghosts, and Taoist magic all really exist.
Besides, what's the point in arguing with her?
Could it be that she wants Zhang Chu to perform with her?
Just an ant, how could Zhang Chu take it seriously?
Seeing that Zhang Chu had no intention of making excuses, Ren Qing felt that she was right and became even more arrogant, "See? I was right!"
"He has nothing to say!"
"How dare a liar come to my house to defraud money!"
"Don't chase him away!"
"Shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Ren Tianxing's voice rang out. He quickly walked up to Zhang Chu and bowed deeply. "Master, please forgive me for my ignorance!"
"hehe!"
Zhang Chu sneered and looked at Ren Tianxing standing in front of him, "Mayor Ren, I'm here to inform you!"
"After some time, many Taoists will come and solve the problem of the mass grave!"
"When the time comes, you have to entertain them!"
"do you understand?"
"Ren understands!"
As if he heard the coldness in Zhang Chu's voice, Ren Tianxing nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely entertain all the Taoist priests who come here."
“Definitely a home away from home!”
"As long as you know what's going on!"
As he spoke, Zhang Chu took a deep look at Ren Tianxing and Ren Qing standing beside him, "If something unpleasant really happened to someone!"
"Don't blame me!"
"I am more than capable of killing zombies!"
"Don't worry, Taoist priest,"
Ren Tianxing immediately assured, "What happened today will never happen again!"
"hehe!"
Zhang Chu sneered as usual, "Some people may not be able to accomplish things, but they are good at doing bad things!"
"The matter of the mass grave is related to my life and property. I dare not be careless!"
"Don't let anything unspeakable happen!"
After saying that, Zhang Chu turned around and prepared to leave.
Leaving behind was Ren Tianxing with a frown on his face, Afeng with a bitter look on his face, and Ren Qing with an unconvinced look on her face.
"father,"
Looking at her father who was frowning, Ren Qing spoke up, "He's just a liar, what's the big deal?"
"You have to believe in science!" "Shut up!"
Ren Tianxing glanced at Ren Qing, then looked at Afeng, "Afeng, send Ren Qing to the provincial capital!"
"She will never be allowed to come back until this matter is completely resolved!"
"Understand?"
"Yes, uncle!"
Afeng happily agreed, and finally had the chance to be alone with his cousin.
"never mind!"
Looking at Afeng's happy expression and thinking of the coldness in Zhang Chu's words, Ren Tianxing suddenly changed his mind, "You can't control her!"
It was really because Ren Tianxing knew Afeng and his own daughter too well. If he asked Afeng to send the child off, he was afraid that he would be taken to the charity cemetery by his own daughter halfway.
Based on his previous understanding of Zhang Chu, if Ren Qing really ruined Zhang Chu's plans, his daughter would definitely not survive.
"Someone is coming!"
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing said to the servants in the courtyard, "Keep the young lady under guard!"
"She is strictly forbidden to leave the room until the matter is resolved!"
"Understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
The servant agreed immediately.
They had seen zombies before, so they naturally knew that they moved to Tengfei Town to avoid disaster.
"father,"
Ren Qing was stunned, "Why are you like this!"
Ren Tianxing had no intention of explaining. He just waved his hand and had Ren Qing taken away.
"A Feng,"
Seeing his daughter being taken away, he thought for a moment and looked towards A Feng, "Bring the gifts and come with me to the charity cemetery!"
"Yes, uncle!"
Although Afeng felt a little regretful, he also understood that there was nothing wrong with what his uncle did.
If his cousin really begged him, he might really bring her back.
Compared to his cousin, Afeng cares more about his own life.
After dealing with Zhang Chu for a long time, he knew very well in his heart that Zhang Chu was definitely the kind of Taoist priest who was ruthless and didn't talk much.
In Zhang Chu's heart, the idea of being gentle and considerate to women does not exist at all.
He is definitely capable of doing something cruel and destructive.
Ren Tianxing had spoken, and naturally many people began to prepare gifts.
After Zhang Chu left Ren's house, he wandered around the streets.
He suspected that there were zombies under the mass grave. To deal with the zombies, glutinous rice was naturally indispensable. No matter whether it was useful or not, it was better to prepare in advance than to wait until the last minute.
Soon, he arrived at the grain store.
"Greetings, Taoist Priest,"
The store owner saw Zhang Chu coming and immediately came over to greet him, "What do you need?"
"Do you have any sticky rice?"
Zhang Chu glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Chen rice is best!"
"A little!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately had an idea.
"Please pack them all for me!"
"Please wait!"
The shopkeeper immediately went to the warehouse and took out two bags of sticky rice, and then led the donkey out. "I see that you don't have any transportation, Taoist priest. You can use it first!"
"it is good!"
Zhang Chu did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
It's just borrowing a donkey, what's the big deal?
The store owner is not worried, so why wouldn’t Zhang Chu use it?
He put the bag directly on the donkey, and bought some rice and some bacon.
There are five or six people, so we have to prepare some food.
Soon, Zhang Chu not only borrowed a donkey, but the store also lent him a car.
Driving a donkey and carrying a cart full of goods, Zhang Chu headed towards the charity cemetery.
While walking on the road, Zhang Chu thought for a moment, and his figure disappeared directly. After just a moment, Zhang Chu appeared on the donkey cart again.
How can just a bag of old glutinous rice be enough?
He went straight back to the charity cemetery in Liancheng World, moved more than ten bags and put them on the donkey cart. Even if he brought them back to the charity cemetery, it would be an explanation.
Driving the donkey cart, although not very fast, Zhang Chu finally returned to the charity cemetery when the sun set.
"Longevity,"
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the charity cemetery, I saw the four disciples of Taoist Qianhe busying themselves, "You're back!"
"Help me unload this stuff!"
Zhang Chu had no intention of being polite and spoke directly to the four people.
The things for personal use were unloaded directly into the kitchen, while the more than ten bags of old glutinous rice were placed in the warehouse of the charity cemetery.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or what, but just after I finished unloading the things, Ren Tianxing came with Afeng and a few servants.
"Master,"
Ren Tianxing saw Zhang Chu standing at the door and immediately walked over to her, "My little girl was just rude!"
"Ren has come to apologize, I hope the Taoist priest will forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter if it's abrupt or not!"
Zhang Chu didn't care about it, "As long as it's not bad!"
"If something bad really happens, I'm so sorry!"
"After all, the thing below is not only something I am not sure how to deal with, even Senior Qianhe is not sure how to deal with it!"
“That’s why we invited so many Taoist priests to come and take action together!”
"But can we deal with it?"
Having said that, Zhang Chu looked at Ren Tianxing deeply and said, "No one is sure at all!"
"I just hope that nothing unexpected will happen during this process!"
"do you understand?"
"Ren understands!"
Ren Tianxing nodded immediately, "Don't worry, my daughter will never appear in front of you Taoist priests again!"
"I know!"
While Zhang Chu was talking to Ren Tianxing, Taoist Qianhe also came out.
After Zhang Chu introduced them, they got to know each other.
"senior,"
After they got to know each other, Zhang Chu said to Taoist Qianhe, "The friends you called will be entertained by Mayor Ren when the time comes!"
"The charity cemetery is very small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate many people!"
"Thank you very much, Mayor Ren!"
Taoist Priest Qianhe also expressed his gratitude and then returned to his room.
The gifts brought by Ren Tianxing were placed in the charity cemetery.
It was getting late, and Ren Tianxing was about to leave. Zhang Chu seemed to remember something and said, "Mayor Ren, you can send people to the nearby towns to collect more aged glutinous rice!"
"There really isn't much old glutinous rice left in town!"
"Ren understands!"
Ren Tianxing looked at Zhang Chu with gratitude.
He understood that this was Zhang Chu's chance to give him a fortune.
After saying this, Ren Tianxing returned to Xintengfei Town with Afeng and a few of his men.
Just when Ren Tianxing returned, a figure walked out of the Ren Mansion and hurried towards the nearby county town, as if something happened.
