"Zhong Lin, I understand your urgency right now, but before going to Qingshui Town again, I think you should go to Zixia Palace first. ”

Old Man Zhang stroked his gray beard, looked at Zhong Lin with firm eyes, and said slowly.

Zhong Lin asked a little puzzled, "Why do you want to go to Zixia Palace first?"

"Yes, Old Zhang, what are you doing in Zixia Palace? Could it be that there are any clues in Zixia Palace? After talking for a long time, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" The old lady didn't understand what Old Man Zhang meant.

Originally, Zhong Lin came over today to convey the judgment of Li Kangda and Mayor Luo to the old lady and Zhang Lao and others. Then he wanted to go directly to Qingshui Town again to see if he could find any clues. Since he is entrusted by others, he should be loyal to others, this is Zhong Lin's creed!

To be honest, for a period of time, Li Kangda was conflicted and hesitated. Although there is no evidence at all, it can be judged from that phone call alone that An Xiaofeng's death is by no means accidental! He knows very well that the person on the other end of the phone is intimidating him, and it is a naked intimidation! He is a man, and he pretends not to bow to this kind of "intimidation", but he only has one daughter, and he doesn't want to let his only daughter have an accident! This state was not until Zhong Lin appeared......

Although Zhong Lin had not had direct contact with Li Kangda before, this did not mean that Li Kangda did not know anything about him, after all, he was the leading figure in the southeast municipal arena, and he still knew very well what was going on below! If he couldn't even do this, then he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in the position of the number one.

First Guo Xiaotian's abnormality, and then Luo Ping's coma, he knew that all this was no accident. He began to be afraid, not because he was afraid that he would be in any danger, but because he was afraid that something would happen to his daughter Li Xingyue......

But at this time, Zhong Lin appeared! He not only woke up Luo Ping, but also restored Guo Xiaotian to normal, and most importantly, let his daughter "come back". Li Kangda was no longer afraid, and he pinned all his expectations on Zhong Lin.

Judging from Li Kangda's reaction, the previous suspicions about him may not be valid, but why did he have a connection with Yamazaki? What is their relationship? Zhong Lin would definitely not ask Li Kangda directly, but these questions have been bothering him, which is another reason why Zhong Lin is eager to go to Qingshui Town.

Another reason is the matter of the island country enterprise and Xue Xiaojie, he has not thought about how to solve the island country enterprise quickly and well, after all, waiting for the government to deal with it, it will take a while to investigate and collect evidence.

"Zhong Lin, don't worry, is there any reason for you to listen to what I said? First of all, since Li Kangda has secretly investigated for so long and has not found any clues, even if you go now, what can you find in a short period of time?"

"Then you have to go, you might be able to find out the clues a little earlier if you go a day earlier! It's better to go than not to go, right?" the old lady interrupted Zhang Lao's words and said.

"Old sister, you wait for me to finish speaking, as I said just now, since it is unlikely that we will find any clues in a short period of time, then we are not in a hurry at this time, as the so-called 'sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter'! We can go to the 'sharpening of the knife' first......" Zhang Lao said with a smile.

"Old Zhang, what do you mean......" Zhong Lin seemed to understand what Old Zhang meant.

"That's right, let's go to Zixia Palace to collect debts first......" Zhang Lao stroked his beard and laughed slyly after speaking.

"Collect debts, what kind of debts? Taoist temples owe you money? What's the matter? Don't sell the guanzi......" The old lady has been fighting horses all her life, and her temperament is more anxious, especially after "rejuvenating herself", and her vigorous and resolute energy is as good as when she was young.

"This is for Zhong Lin!"

Old Man Zhang looked at Zhong Lin with a smile, and did not directly answer the old lady's barrage of questions. may be related to the fact that he has cultivated the Tao for most of his life, Old Man Zhang's temperament is very calm, and he is unhurried in doing anything, but it is diametrically opposed to the old lady's personality, which is in stark contrast.

"Old lady, this is the ......"

Zhong Lin told the old lady what happened in the ten-mile peach orchard one by one, especially the gray-robed Taoist Zhang Yifan of Zixia Palace who used two hundred yellow runes and twenty blue runes to exchange half of the thunder splitting peach wood with him.

"So, Zixia Palace still owes you a hundred yellow runes and ten blue runes?" Although she didn't know how useful this rune paper was, she could smell some of it just by watching so many people snatch the thunder split peachwood.

"Yes, but I didn't think I'd ask for it so soon, after all, I still have a lot of rune paper here. Zhong Lin said truthfully. There is also the fact that Zhong Lin is relatively thin-faced, and as soon as he returned to Southeast City, he immediately went to the Taoist temple to ask for debts, and Zhong Lin always felt a little embarrassed.

Besides, now Zhong Lin has a lot of rune paper on his body, and after he came back, he told Old Man Zhang about exchanging thunder split peach wood for rune paper, and also gave some to Old Man Zhang, after all, he himself used up all the rune paper that Old Man Zhang had accumulated for most of his life.

Old Man Zhang was not very interested in the thunder splitting peach wood that Zhong Lin had asked the Northwest Wolf to transport back to him for safekeeping. Because although he knew that it was a good thing that could be used to refine rune paper, but in the absence of a rune paper tripod that could be used to refine rune paper, thunder splitting peach wood was equivalent to a pile of rotten wood. On the contrary, when he got a stack of yellow rune paper and two blue rune papers given to him by Zhong Lin, it made him very happy, you must know that he has not saved so much rune paper for most of his life!

"Zhong Lin, you do have a lot of rune paper, but you can't always use your blood to draw runes, right?" said Old Man Zhang.

"This ......"

Zhang Lao's words can be regarded as poking Zhong Lin's pain point. Before, he used the blood mixed with the source power to draw talismans, and although the effect was better, he couldn't always use his own blood to draw! The peach tree spirit had already confirmed that his own blood was a rare and precious thing, and he had to save some money.

Old Man Zhang continued: "Tomorrow happens to be the seal ceremony of Zixia Palace, after receiving the seal, you can use cinnabar to draw talismans, if you want to increase the potency, you only need to drip a drop of blood in cinnabar, and the effect of the talisman you drew completely with blood before is even better!"

For Zhong Lin, this is indeed good news, in fact, he also knows in his heart that since the other party dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it is definitely not an ordinary person. If you really investigate clues and run into the other party, it will inevitably be a vicious battle. The other party has at least one intermediate or above talisman master, and it is difficult to deal with it by force alone, which Ling'er has already reminded him of, and using talismans against talismans is the best way, so that the talisman paper will definitely be used. Although there are a lot of runes now, he is still self-aware, and the blood on his body is limited......

"Oh, so that's the case, Old Man Zhang, you said it earlier, going around and around, going around in such a big circle! If you said it earlier, you still care about waiting for a day or two before going to Qingshui Town!"

The old lady said, turned her head to Zhong Lin and said, "Zhong Lin, I think it's so decided, you and Zhang Lao will go to Zixia Palace tomorrow to ask for debts......

Old man Zhang looked at the old lady, gaba, gaba, didn't say anything, and thought: "Say it earlier! You have to let me say it......

The next day, Zhong Lin first called Zong Qiang. When he learned that he was asked to accompany Zhong Lingyue and Du Lan to find a store suitable for opening an antique store, Zong Qiang didn't say a word, put down what he was doing, and ran over to pick up Zhong Lingyue and Du Lan.

Mountain Eagle and Plum Blossom Sparrow have been learning to draw talismans with Old Man Zhang for a while, and this time they went to Zixia Palace, and Old Man Zhang was going to take them with him.

Before leaving, Old Man Zhang rummaged through the cabinets and found two sky-blue robes, one was his own, and the other was prepared for Zhong Lin.

"Come, Zhong Lin, you put on this Dela robe, this is what I did together when I was sealed. Old Man Zhang said and handed the robe in his hand to Zhong Lin, and then took out another pair of shoes.

"What kind of shoes are these, can you still wear them when they are torn like this?" Plum Blossom Finch looked at the shoes in Old Man Zhang's hand and frowned, and said with a disgusted face.

But I saw that the shoes in Mr. Zhang's hands were indeed very special, the cuffs were round, and the key was that the upper of the shoes was full of holes one by one.

"This is the legendary cave shoe, right?" said Shanying with a smile.

"Go, go, go, you two little ghosts, don't talk nonsense, this is called 'Shifang Shoes', you two are not qualified to wear them!"

The mountain eagle and the plum finch glanced at their beaks and made a look that was not unusual.

"Zhong Lin, you go to the room and change into your robes and shoes, and I'll get you a square scarf. Old Man Zhang said and handed the Shifang shoes to Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin took the robe and shoes and entered the house, and when he came out again, not to mention, the robe was still relatively fitting except for being a little shorter, but he was used to seeing Zhong Lin's usually casually dressed mountain eagle and plum blossom finch a little uncomfortable.

"Elder Zhang, then do I and Shanying also have to wear Taoist robes?"

Plum Blossom Bird said with a slight frown, she didn't want to wear this robe.

"As I said just now, you two are not qualified enough, even if you want to, you can't wear them, Zhong Lin is at least a layman now, but he hasn't officially entered the Daomen, and the two of you are at most believers......"

Old man Zhang is an old pedant, shaking his head and talking about the difference between laymen, believers and Taoist priests.

The plum blossom finch rolled her eyes disapplausively, she didn't care about any laymen and believers, as long as she wasn't allowed to wear Taoist robes.

Everyone prepared everything, just walked out of the door, and never thought that they would meet Luo Xiaoman head-on, but they didn't know what would happen to this little aunt and grandmother when they saw Zhong Lin wearing a Taoist robe......
