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

"Men with money turn bad!"

"Men with money turn bad!"

"Taoist priests turn bad when they get money!"

"Taoist priest……"

……

Hu Yunying was absent-minded all day, constantly muttering to herself. These same few phrases, repeated over and over, almost drove Guo Lanying to a rage.

"That's not a man, that's a master!"

Guo Lanying couldn't hold back any longer and finally reminded her.

"Isn't the master a man?"

"The master is not a man!"

……

Zhang Zhengdao's face darkened, and he poked Hu Yunying's forehead with his finger, saying, "This is all my money, what does it have to do with you? Come to my room tonight to receive your punishment!"

Hu Yunying snapped to attention, her eyes clearing, her mind refreshed, and she gave a crisp reply.

"Okay, sir!"

Guo Lanying stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

I feel wronged!

I did nothing wrong, yet my master took away the biggest benefit, and I lost all my money.

Zhang Zhengdao decided to stop betting.

He can see through everyone's cultivation level and skill, but he can't see through people's hearts. This kind of shameless shady dealing is difficult even for a god! This scene is so familiar, it's practically the same as those people playing football on Earth who went on a pilgrimage.

"I will never do this kind of betting again. If I do, I'll cut off my hand."

Guo Lanying responded with a wronged tone, her mind still preoccupied with Hu Yunying's trip to the master's room to receive her punishment that evening.

Hehe, accept the punishment!

Why should the master alone enjoy such benefits?

The afternoon's competition was a bit boring, and Zhang Zhengdao had no interest in betting. His eyes darted around absentmindedly the whole time. He was more interested in the Huashan Sect's management model and business tactics.

Various sects and wandering martial artists have booked meals at the villas halfway up the mountain.

It was a bit expensive and not very tasty.

So Zhang Zhengdao went down the mountain to eat. After all, he had lost a lot of money, and there was an inn where he could eat and stay for free, and the food was quite good.

After dinner, Hu Yunying went into her room and seemed to be fiddling with something. Guo Lanying also went into her room and seemed to be fiddling with something as well.

Anyway, the two of them shook themselves off, stretched their muscles, and went about their own business.

After finishing his meal, Zhang Zhengdao went for a stroll in the street.

There are several more martial arts competitions tonight.

Zhang Zhengdao was too lazy to look at it; it was all a shady operation, why bother looking?

Reputable sects crave fame, while some wandering martial artists lack money.

In any case, the rankings of top-tier masters are very unreliable, the rankings of innate masters are very muddy, only the rankings of grandmasters and great grandmasters are truly genuine.

Nobody dares to pull any stunts in this.

The so-called fairness and impartiality of the competition only applies to higher-level experts.

The streets were filled with lanterns.

The streets are brightly lit and bustling with people even at night.

Many people were not qualified to climb the mountain, and the only way they knew the rankings was through the daily updated list from the Huashan Sect. Therefore, the list was always released in the morning.

Today is the first day, and there are no rankings, so everyone is quite bored.

"Hey grandpa, come have some fun!"

Nest grass!

Zhang Zhengdao suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice.

Turning my head and looking around, I finally spotted a female knight-errant far away in the crowd. She was wearing a dress that exposed her shoulders and stood on the slope of the street, smiling and holding a handkerchief, waving it in the wind to greet the customers.

I glanced around habitually.

Hu Yunying and Guo Lanying were not there.

I never expected there would be people doing this kind of business at the foot of Mount Hua.

However, everyone seems to be ignoring it.

We're all chivalrous heroes of the martial arts world, how could we not be interested in this kind of thing? Zhang Zhengdao was quite surprised, feeling that this woman had been repeating "Come and play, sir!" for a long time, but no business came to her door.

"Brother, why aren't you going to have some fun?"

Zhang Zhengdao casually grabbed a very thin man, whose body was as thin as a stick, and who looked like a martial arts master who often went out to play.

The man scoffed, "Why don't you go have some fun?"

"what happened?"

Zhang Zhengdao was puzzled; the woman was quite pretty.

The man smiled and said, "I'm sick. My brain's broken."

Zhang Zhengdao remained silent and did not press the matter further.

The man flicked his sleeves and swaggered away.

However, a crowd did gather; four or five women and two or three men finally stopped to watch the commotion. They were probably tired from shopping and had nothing better to do.

"Ye San Niang is truly pitiful."

"Exactly! When looking for a man, you have to keep your eyes open. Don't be fooled by some scholars who look respectable; when it comes to doing things, they're no better than those cultists."

"Big sister, you're praising the Demonic Sect!"

"Who the hell are you calling 'big sister'? Don't you have eyes? I... Fairy Yunxia, ​​fairy... did you eat shit or something..."

Zhang Zhengdao sighed; another infatuated woman who had met the wrong person.

The fairy next to her was really an eyesore; she was as fat as a cloud. How could she be called a fairy?

If you ever encounter a female knight-errant in the martial arts world, bow to her and say, "Greetings, fairy."

Will she feel like I'm insulting her?

Then I remembered that I had two fairies in my house.

Butterfly Fairy, Moon Invitation Fairy...

Does this mean that in many years, I'll end up with two middle-aged women?

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and walked past the woman.

The woman waved to Zhang Zhengdao: "Grandpa, come and have some fun!"

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Look carefully, I'm not a master, I'm a young hero..."

The woman chuckled, biting the corner of her handkerchief, blinked at Zhang Zhengdao, and said, "Grandpa...Grandpa...Grandpa..."

The woman was laughing for a while, then suddenly seemed to freeze, and started speaking in fits and starts.

The fairy Yunxia beside him laughed and said, "Taoist, why don't you patronize her business? She's very pitiful. You're a monk, you should be compassionate and help her attain immortality!"

Zhang Zhengdao turned to look at Fairy Yunxia.

Fairy Yunxia also glared at Zhang Zhengdao.

Provocative, absolutely provocative.

The people around them immediately dispersed, leaving enough space for the two of them to perform.

People in the martial arts world are all about principles!

This woman was certain that Zhang Zhengdao was just an ordinary Taoist priest, and it seemed he didn't possess any special skills. She even extended a finger, trying to lift Zhang Zhengdao's chin.

"How about... I perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife? Forget chanting scriptures and cultivating the Tao, I'll just make you an immortal, hahaha..."

It's fine if you don't laugh, but when you do, all your fat jiggles.

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand, then turned his face away, resting one hand on the wall beside him.

"vomit--"

"vomit--"

……

"Haha, Fairy Yunxia, ​​you've made him vomit!" A burly man who was watching the commotion laughed loudly.

Fairy Yunxia's expression changed, and she became angry. She raised her fleshy fan-like hand to slap Zhang Zhengdao across the face.

Zhang Zhengdao lowered his head again.

"vomit--"

He gagged.

"Snapped!"

It was a crisp sound, the sound of a fleshy slap landing on a fleshy face. The flesh on the burly man's face trembled several times before it stopped.

He was hit so hard that he saw stars and couldn't make a sound for a long time.

When Zhang Zhengdao was gagging, he looked down and accidentally slapped the wrong person.

"Fairy Yunxia, ​​you better not have done it by accident!"

"Yes, yes, I just didn't mean to. Taoist priest, you're finished! I'm going to slap you to death!" Fairy Yunxia became even angrier. This time, she even held her hand to Zhang Zhengdao's face, tested it, and then put her hand down hard again.

"don't want……"

Suddenly, Ye San Niang screamed in terror and lunged at Zhang Zhengdao.

Zhang Zhengdao bowed and quickly helped Ye Sanniang, who was lunging at him.

"Snapped!"

This slap was even crisper.

"Damn it, you fat hag Yunxia, ​​do you want to die? I'll slap you to your death!" The burly man was furious and slapped Yunxia Fairy.

"Snapped!"

Yunxia rushed forward, pressed close to him, and grabbed the burly man's hair, making him scream. The burly man was not to be outdone and grabbed Yunxia's hair in return.

You pulled me, I pulled you, and we both fell to the ground, still gouging out our eyeballs.

Zhang Zhengdao helped Ye Sanniang up, gently patted her head, and shook his head with a sigh.

"The past is gone, the ties of love are severed, the road of the martial world is long, let us forget the way we came, and return to where we came from. May the Heavenly Venerable grant us boundless blessings!"

After saying that, he stood up and slowly walked back.

Ye San Niang stared blankly at Zhang Zhengdao's receding figure, when suddenly two hot tears rolled down her cheeks. She glanced at the two people beside her, who were pulling each other's hair and gouging at each other's eyes.

He bowed in the direction Zhang Zhengdao had left.

"Thank you, Masato!"

She turned and slowly walked towards the front of the street, the two rows of lanterns illuminating her as she walked further and further away until she disappeared from sight...
