A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

Guo Lanying's recitation of Taoist scriptures has a unique flavor.

Her soft, trembling voice, combined with the crispness and sweetness of a young girl, captivated the onlookers. Some even tilted their heads back and forth, closing their eyes as she sang, imagining peaches, apricots, and pears blooming in abundance before their eyes.

The wind is gentle; people are soft and yielding.

It was clearly a funeral, yet one could somehow detect a smile and a hint of contentment in the air.

Hu Yunying's transverse flute also rang out loudly.

The music, played perfectly, drew everyone into the unique and wondrous scene created by Taoism, accompanied by the sounds of Zhang Zhengdao's wooden fish and gong.

"You've got some skill!"

This is the senior brother's affirmation and evaluation of Zhang Zhengdao's team.

Zhang Zhengdao must have heard it and really wanted to go over and give him a cigarette. If he could expand his business in the martial arts world through his senior brother, his business would definitely flourish.

If it's just in Linbin Town, the scope of business is really limited. How many people die in a year? Even wealthy families only offer prayers and blessings sporadically.

Fortunately, Linbin Town is a major waterway, and every now and then a corpse would float down from upstream and happen to be stranded in Linbin Town, which would be worth one or two taels of silver.

Gou Ru, Quan Laoshi.

If he hadn't tried to lower the price, how could the town supervisor have only offered one or two taels of silver for a ritual performed for a wild corpse?

This senior brother looks more and more like a walking silver ingot.

It's a pity there's no cigarette in this world; at least you could light one.

When it came to the "Jumping in Four Directions" segment, Zhang Zhengdao himself took to the stage. His agile movements, occasional shouts, and the harmonies of Guo Lanying and Hu Yunying created a vibrant and captivating spectacle.

However, all of this was destined to be done for the blind.

I only glanced at the Three Wonders of Tianshan and then stopped paying attention to them.

This immediately extinguished the idea of ​​giving the senior brother a bottle of Chinese liquor.

After the shamanic dance, Zhang Zhengdao quietly asked Hu Yunying.

"What do you think about expanding the business of martial arts sects?"

Hu Yunying was taken aback, thinking Zhang Zhengdao's thought process was truly unbelievable. She decisively shook her head and said, "Definitely not. People in the martial arts world don't care about being buried peacefully. They're buried wherever they fall. Is holding a Taoist ceremony important to them? They don't really believe in ghosts and gods. I advise you not to waste your time!"

Therefore, Zhang Zhengdao, who wanted to expand his business, had to temporarily abandon this idea.

Damn it, these scoundrels in the underworld really don't value their lives.

Life is worth less than grass!

fortunately!

fortunately!

Zhang Zhengdao secretly rejoiced that he had resisted Guo Lanying's temptation to repay her with his body, and also resisted Hu Yunying's shameless remarks about a woman three years older than her being a gold mine, and how a young girl doesn't know how good an older sister is and mistakenly treats a young girl as a treasure.

Marrying a person from the martial arts world means three generations of their family will be trapped in a quagmire.

Keep watch at night.

There were hardly any onlookers anymore.

After the meal, Zhang Zhengdao and the others sat by the mourning tent and chatted.

The eldest disciple of the Four Heroes of Tianshan finally couldn't hold back any longer and walked over to Zhang Zhengdao and the others, cupping his hands in greeting. He was no longer as arrogant as he had been in the wine shop.

"May I ask if you are the Fairy Butterfly, Lady Hu, in person?"

Hu Yunying stood up and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"I have long admired Tian Guiguang, the foremost of the Four Heroes of Tianshan, who wields the One-Word Lightning Sword!"

Everyone's good, and as long as you're not mortal enemies, you'd still be polite back then. That's the world of martial arts—fighting, killing, and social niceties are all part of it.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Tian Guiguang, the swordsman, was humble.

"I was wondering about it and didn't dare to disturb you, afraid I might have mistaken you for someone else. I never expected it to really be Lady Hu. Ever since I saw her once at the martial arts competition atop Mount Hua two years ago, I've never been able to forget her. Lady Hu is absolutely stunning..."

"We are all peerless!"

Zhang Zhengdao interjected.

Tian Guiguang: ...

Your whole family is extinct; how can you say that?

For the sake of Miss Hu's beauty, he decided to let it go for the time being, and continued to speak gently to Hu Yunying, "I didn't expect to meet you under these circumstances today. Is this helping a friend?"

It seems that Tian Guiguang doesn't even think much of the cause he wants to promote and develop.

Zhang Zhengdao: I'm about to get angry.

Hu Yunying chuckled: "Could it be that Master Tian looks down on people in this line of work?"

Tian Guiguang: "Of course not. It's just that I feel that a fairy as famous as Lady Hu, a beauty as beautiful as a fairy, shouldn't have to work so hard to make a living."

Hu Yunying turned to look at Zhang Zhengdao.

Zhang Zhengdao gestured with his lips.

Hu Yunying cried, "My life is so hard... I married a Taoist priest. What else can I do but follow him wherever he goes? I'm destined to be a life of toil."

Zhang Zhengdao: ...

Is this what Lao Tzu meant by pursing his lips?

Tian Guiguang: ...

"Oh, I see. Then I won't bother you any longer."

He turned back dejectedly, sat down, and felt incredibly depressed. He had initially thought that Hu Yunying was famous, good-looking, with a curvaceous figure, and beautiful. Although she was a bit older, he figured it would be nice to take her home as a concubine.

Who would have thought she'd get married? What bad luck.

Guo Lanying, standing next to Zhang Zhengdao, was struggling to hold back her laughter, but the lively smile in her eyes was almost hitting Zhang Zhengdao's face.

"Pah, a dog like you, you dare to talk about marriage with me."

Hu Yunying vented her emotions in a low voice.

Zhang Zhengdao: "A perfect match!"

"Zhang Zhengdao, don't insult me ​​anymore! I have a temper too!"

Hu Yunying was furious and shouted loudly at Zhang Zhengdao, successfully attracting the attention of the Three Beauties of Tianshan.

"I won't wash your feet at night anymore, unless you don't hit me when you scold me."

Guo Lanying: ...

The Three Wonders of Tianshan: ...

Zhang Zhengdao...

Damn it, Zhang Zhengdao is really about to get angry.

Hu Yunying turned her head, covered her face, and cried, then ran away in a flash.

"I'm going after Master!"

Guo Lanying also fled as fast as she could.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't chase after them; there was a mess here. The two corpses were still in the shed; where could they run to? Would they still be able to do business with them in the future? He clenched his fists, filled with impotent rage.

This woman tricked me.

Maybe tomorrow the whole martial arts world will be buzzing with the news that the dignified Fairy Butterfly married a Taoist priest in Linbin Town, and that she was being abused by him every day, forced to wash his stinky feet.

The thought of the beautiful and fragrant Butterfly Fairy being forced to wash the stinky feet of a slovenly Taoist priest would break the hearts of countless single and not-single young and old heroes.

The three beauties of Tianshan looked at Zhang Zhengdao differently.

In particular, the eldest brother, Tian Guiguang, wielding the lightning sword, had a furious glint in his eyes.

A woman like Hu Yunying, even if she doesn't want him, shouldn't be defiled by another man. If it weren't for the fact that they were in a public place, his murderous intent would be impossible to conceal.

"Pah, a beast in human form."

The junior sister was still a naive and foolish girl. She couldn't help but curse Zhang Zhengdao. She had long wanted to kill this stinky Taoist priest.

Zhang Zhengdao sat in meditation, without speaking.

After all, they are customers, and half of the money hasn't been paid yet!

They stayed up all night, and the auspicious time arrived the next day.

Zhang Zhengdao patted the two coffins and shouted, "Rise—"

So the eight Vajra Guardians carried the coffin away.

Two coffins, two locations, only a few dozen steps apart. It was only through the town's mercy that the supervisor granted them land. Of course, the three beauties of Tianshan also paid money. The money went into the town supervisor's pocket.

Later, Zhang Zhengdao heard that the town supervisor had asked for two hundred taels of silver from the Three Treasures of Tianshan.

That beast!

Zhang Zhengdao was heartbroken for days, only receiving one tael and two mace of silver from someone who was just a laborer. If it weren't for the need to preserve his health, Zhang Zhengdao would have gone mad.

It's not actually about the two hundred taels of silver; this matter concerns...

Okay, it's about two hundred taels of silver.

They filled the pit with soil, and two new graves were completed.

The martial arts world has lost the Cross Sword Master Jie Dong, and gained a new grave.

A man of the martial world, now he's in the martial world.

Finally, Zhang Zhengdao found his senior brother, Tian Guiguang, who wielded the One-Word Lightning Sword, to settle the bill. Tian Guiguang didn't make things difficult for Zhang Zhengdao. He really wanted to kill the Taoist priest, but when he thought about how Zhang Zhengdao's death would leave Fairy Butterfly a pitiful widow, he refrained from doing so. He only felt regret.

Watching Zhang Zhengdao take the silver and leave, the junior sister said angrily, "Why didn't Senior Brother kill him!"

The sight of the senior brother's desolate figure broke the junior sister's heart.

She had felt the same way about her third senior brother, Jie Dong, who possessed the Cross Sword.

However, since Jie Dong is dead, this heartache has shifted to the eldest brother, Tian Guiguang, who wields the One-Word Lightning Sword.

Therefore, love never disappears, it only moves on.

When Zhang Zhengdao returned to Peach Blossom Mountain, he invited the Four Heroes of Kunshan who had come to watch the funeral.

The Four Heroes of Kunshan readily agreed.

So they went up the mountain together.

Only when they reached the top of the mountain did the two women appear somewhat embarrassed, their heads bowed and eyes lowered, looking like submissive wives who would endure Zhang Zhengdao's beatings and scoldings. This left the Four Heroes of Kunshan completely stunned.

That's Hu Yunying, the Butterfly Fairy! Look at her!

No, we can drink slowly. Could you teach the younger brothers how to get the famous heroine to do that?

Seeking the secrets to discipline!
