"In that case, please ask the Taoist to quickly find a way to save the child!" The Wu couple wept and begged.

Zhang Zefang said helplessly: "Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, the master is unfortunate, I Maoshan sent a scum like Yu Yisu, I want to make amends for you first!" After speaking, he bowed and made a big salute, and the Wu couple hurriedly returned the salute.

Zhang Zefang continued: "It is the duty of my Maoshan disciples to save the dead, help the wounded, reduce the ghosts and eliminate the evil, but I can't hide it, now I have a teacher's life, and I want to chase Yu Yisu, who has just left here, it can be described as a hundred thousand urgent, and it can't be delayed for a moment." And it takes three days and three nights to cast a spell to restore the soul, and it takes to find the soul in advance, so I'm afraid the delay will be longer, so ......"

Wu Shi burst into tears when he heard this, turned to Wu Zhiyuan, who was lying unconscious on the earthen kang, and muttered, "Is my child's life like this......

Zhang Zefang promised: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as the child's soul can be retrieved within seven days, I can return it to the soul." Now there are six days left, and I, Zhang Zefang, swear to heaven that no matter whether or not I can catch Yu Yisu, I will definitely come back within six days! ”

Wu Chengxi was moved by Zhang Zefang's sincere attitude, and immediately bowed and thanked him: "Then without further ado, the Taoist chief should hurry up and get on the road." While speaking, Wu took out a package of dry food from the kitchen and stuffed it into Zhang Zefang's hand.

Looking at the simple and loyal rural couple in front of him, Zhang Zefang was greatly moved, hugged his fists at the Wu couple, turned around and hurried away.

The moon is cool and the stars are shining. Standing at the intersection of one east and one south, Zhang Zefang suddenly hesitated, and secretly thought in his heart, Yu Yisu was really cunning, he actually thought of using Wu Zhiyuan's child's illness to contain me, and now I gave up that child, I took a great risk, in case I can't catch Yu Yisu, or the road is slightly delayed, the child's precious life may end. Now the most unbearable thing is that child, no matter what, I must fight, and I will rush back to Wujia Village within six days.

Looking at the dry food in his hand, Zhang Zefang suddenly lifted his breath and galloped towards the south path like a meteor.

The night in early autumn was unusually cold, Zhang Zefang concentrated his breath, performed the Maoshan Shenxing footwork, and felt the wind blowing in his ears, and his thin clothes were blown through by the cold air, and his whole body was beaten up and down, but at this time, with the belief of saving people, Zhang Zefang couldn't care about the cold feeling of his skin and flesh, and the speed on his legs was a little faster.

This chase chased him for more than a hundred miles, but there was no trace of a drop in sight. There is no country inn along the way, if Yu Yisu takes this road, he should almost catch up with him. Seeing that the east was gradually turning white and the sky was about to dawn, Zhang Zefang began to doubt his original decision: "Could it be that I am suspicious, and Yu Yisu really went in the direction of the east?" ”

When he was uncertain in his heart, Zhang Zefang saw a small city standing dozens of miles away, so he turned his heart sideways and went to see it first.

As soon as the sky was bright and the flow of people was scarce, the tofu brain food stalls in the city set up sheds. Maoshan disciples do not leave overnight money, this is the door rule of the Maoshan faction, even if the fragrance of tofu is mouth-watering, Zhang Zefang has no money to buy tofu brain, so he can only find a secluded corner, squat down while observing the sparse pedestrians, while nibbling on the dry food in his hand.

The sun rises very fast in early autumn, and after a while, the sun is full of pedestrians and vendors, and the sound of shouting and bargaining is endless. What a lively northern city!

Zhang Zefang put the remaining dry food into the baggage, got up and walked into the bustling flow of people, I don't know what kind of boundary this is, so he stopped a pedestrian to inquire, the pedestrian looked Zhang Zefang up and down, threw down a sentence "Qingdao", and then ignored it and went straight away.

The Taoist priest of Maoshan often travels all over the world and has seen the warmth and coldness of the time, so Zhang Zefang did not go to his heart. He was now thinking about how to find out Yu Yisu's whereabouts in this strange Qingdao city.

Zhang Zefang walked aimlessly in the crowd, his sharp eyes looked around from time to time, until noon, and he didn't see any clues. I thought that there was no way to go on like this, so I had to find someone to inquire. So he walked to a cloth shop and said, "Boss, have you ever seen a ...... wearing a Taoist robe?"

"A Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, right? I've seen it, I've seen it Before Zhang Zefang's words were finished, the owner of the cloth shop said that he had seen it, Zhang Zefang couldn't help but be suspicious, so he asked without taboo: "I haven't finished speaking, how do you know that Lu Dao has seen it?" ”

The cloth shop owner's eyes were slightly flustered, and then he said angrily: "You really don't understand the rules, how can you inquire about people like this?" I open the shop every day at sunrise and close at sunset, over and over for more than 30 years, I know exactly who has taken a few steps here, not to mention a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, how many can there be in a month? If you don't believe me, ask somewhere else! ”

Zhang Zefang thought about it when he heard this, it was not unreasonable, wearing a robe to swagger through the market was really eye-catching, and it was reasonable for the owner of the cloth shop to be impressed. So he hurriedly smiled and said: "The boss misunderstood, the stranger can't speak, please forgive me." Which direction can you see he is going? ”

The cloth shop owner snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to the west, and said without raising his head: "Go west." Zhang Zefang thanked him, and walked west along the street, privately observing all the way, including teahouses, restaurants, inns, and any other places where Yixiao might stay.

Qingdao City is not big, but because of the fetters of the flow of people in the past, it is necessary to observe around at the same time, so Zhang Zefang really took some effort, and when he found no one in the western suburbs of the city, it was past noon, but he was not seen in a small and a half figures, Zhang Zefang couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Blindly looking for it like this will only take time, and it will be effective to inquire in many ways. Zhang Zefang found a teahouse, grabbed the guy and asked, "Little brother, have you ever seen a Taoist chief in a Taoist robe pass by?" ”

The guy was busy, and when he heard this, he stopped what he was doing, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, I've seen it, and he even went into our teahouse to drink a pot of tea." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Zefang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then in which direction did this Taoist go to?" ”

Without thinking, the man stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and said, "He finished his tea and went east down the street." Zhang Zefang was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly fell into confusion, thinking that he had just come to the west from the east, and now someone said that he had gone to the east, could it be that he had wandered here for a while?

Without thinking too much, Zhang Zefang thanked the teahouse guys, and then turned his head to the east to look for it. This way to search, before I reached the eastern suburbs, it was already dark. Zhang Zefang was anxious, but he was helpless, so he walked alone to the eastern suburbs of the city, found an abandoned house, and spent the night.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Zefang got up and came out to investigate, and saw that an aunt selling steamed buns had just set up a stall, Zhang Zefang stepped forward and asked: "Auntie, have you ever seen a Taoist chief in a Taoist robe passing by here?" The aunt said, "Well, I have seen it." ”

Zhang Zefang was surprised, how could he ask one, and the other said that he had seen it? Could it be that he only remembered that he was wearing a Taoist robe, and Zhang Guan and Li Dai recognized him as another wandering Taoist priest? In this world, there are more than one Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes in the realm. So he hurriedly added: "What have you seen is a Taoist priest with a thin face, prominent cheekbones, thief eyebrows, and rat eyes?" ”

The aunt covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Exactly, it's him." ”

"Do you know where he went?" When Zhang Zefang heard this, he hurriedly asked, and the aunt stretched out her hand to the west and said, "Oh, he went west." ”

Zhang Zefang gasped and couldn't help but start to be suspicious. I thought to myself: "At first, the owner of the cloth shop said to the west, and I found the western suburbs, and then the teahouse guy said to the east, and then I came to the eastern suburbs, but now this aunt says to the west, how can it be so coincidental?" Isn't it a psychedelic game deliberately arranged by Yu Yisu to tease me? ”
