Chapter 526: The clue is interrupted
Three months is not a short time, but it is not a long time, but it is related to the life and death of the Moon Shadow Fuxian. To find Qi Zixu Pingshi, Peach Blossom Nectar, and Black Jade Dragon Crystal in these three months was a great test for Wu Zhiyuan. There was a trace of confusion in his heart, and he didn't know if he could find these three things to remove the poison of the Heart Devouring Gu for the Moon Shadow Fu Immortal, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would definitely fight with his life.
Along the way, Wu Zhiyuan traveled almost day and night, rarely rested, from Yunnan to Jiangsu thousands of miles of road, tired of five horses, to the border of Jiangsu, it was already the early morning of the fifth day.
Despite the fatigue, Wu Zhiyuan never felt tired, and a kind of belief supported him, giving him a steady stream of strength to do what was in front of him.
The smell of tofu brain on the street made Wu Zhiyuan feel a little hungry, he hadn't eaten a full meal for many days, so he walked to a shop and sat down, asking for a big bowl of tofu brain.
This is the hottest meal Wu Zhiyuan has eaten in the past few days, the steaming tofu brain made him suddenly feel homesick, every Chinese New Year, the family will make tofu, and there will be tofu brain out of the pot, that time is the happiest and most impressive moment of Wu Zhiyuan's childhood.
In the morning, the business of the tofu brain shop is relatively prosperous, and there are many people coming and going, most of them eat and leave, and the boss who makes the tofu brain is very busy, and he has to constantly greet the pedestrians on the street.
"Uncle, come to a bowl of tofu brain to warm up?" The boss yelled at the pedestrians on the street.
"Boss, I don't have any money with me, can I ...... A bowl on credit first? A voice whispered.
"A bowl of tofu brain is still on credit? Seeing that your clothes are still clean, why are you not as good as a beggar? The beggars at the end of the street come to eat my tofu brain, and they don't pay on credit. Go and go, don't get in the way here if you don't have money! The boss was very snobbish, and when he saw that the other party had no money, he hurriedly drove people away.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't bother to listen to the conversation between the two, but when he heard the boss's angry tone, he put down the bowl and spoon and looked up, and couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see that the boss was pushing a middle-aged man out, and the middle-aged man was Zhang Zefang!
"Master!" Wu Zhiyuan got up suddenly, stepped to the door of the shop in a few steps, pulled the boss away, and said angrily, "This is my master!" ”
Seeing this, the boss stopped pushing, looked at Zhang Zefang with disdain, and turned back to the shop to work.
Wu Zhiyuan pulled Zhang Zefang into the shop and sat down, and asked for a big bowl of tofu brain, Zhang Zefang was obviously hungry, regardless of the hot temperature of the tofu brain, and swallowed a big bowl of tofu brain in a few bites. Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked for another bowl, Zhang Zefang took the bowl slightly embarrassed, smiled at Wu Zhiyuan honestly, and quickly ate the bowl again. Wu Zhiyuan was about to ask for another bowl, but was stopped by Zhang Zefang.
"Zhiyuan, I'm full, don't break the bank." Zhang Zefang said with a look of shame, the scene of his begging just now was seen by his apprentice, and he was more or less embarrassed.
"Master, why are you ......" Wu Zhiyuan's words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he wanted to ask Zhang Zefang how he ended up begging for even a meal, but he knew the reason without asking. The disciples of Maoshan did not leave overnight money, and Zhang Zefang was penniless, so he naturally had no money to eat.
"There were still a few copper plates last night, I gave them to those homeless children, and now the world is not peaceful, many children have lost their relatives and become orphans, ala......s," Zhang Zefang said, with a long sigh.
"But you'll have to save some money for yourself to eat." Wu Zhiyuan comforted.
"Our Maoshan disciples follow the three precepts of ragged clothes and poverty, and we never leave overnight money when we walk the rivers and lakes, you know." Zhang Zefang explained with a smile.
Wu Zhiyuan knows Zhang Zefang and knows that he has an upright temperament, is willing to give and is kind-hearted, and does not seek to be known by others, but seeks to be worthy of his heart. At this time, even if I persuaded him again, it was useless, so I had to stop talking.
"By the way, Zhiyuan, why did you come to Jiangsu? Are your mom and dad okay? The two were silent for a moment, and Zhang Zefang suddenly asked.
Wu Zhiyuan straightened out his thoughts, and described in detail the three things needed to clear the poison of the Heart Devouring Gu in the Moon Shadow Fuxian and the poison of the Heart Devouring Gu, and at the end, he asked Zhang Zefang for verification: "Master, does our Maoshan Sect really have a Purple Void Palace?" ”
Zhang Zefang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "There is indeed a Purple Void Palace, but it may not have anything to do with the Purple Void Pingshi you are looking for." ”
Wu Zhiyuan was stunned and asked, "It's okay?" Why do both names have the word purple void? ”
Zhang Zefang pondered: "The Purple Void Hall of Maoshan was used to worship the Purple Void Yuanjun, according to legend, the Purple Void Yuanjun has descended to the Immortal Maoshan many times, and passed the law to Yang Xi, the king of Langya, and awarded the "Shangqing Sutra", so the descendants established the Purple Void Hall in Maoshan, and then it should be abandoned. If the Maoshan faction really has such a thing as Purple Void Pingshi, it is impossible for me not to know it, but today is the first time I have heard this name, so I am sure that Purple Void Pingshi is definitely not a thing of Maoshan. ”
Hearing Zhang Zefang's words, Wu Zhiyuan's heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and the only clue about Zixu Pingshi was broken, so where should I find it in the future?
When he was sad, Zhang Zefang patted Wu Zhiyuan's shoulder and comforted: "Zhiyuan, don't be sad, Moon Shadow is a good girl, God will not be so cruel to her, there must be other ways." ”
"What else can be done?" Wu Zhiyuan replied in despair.
"What's next for you?" Zhang Zefang asked with a concerned face.
"I want to go to Maoshan." Wu Zhiyuan replied listlessly.
"It's been determined that the Purple Void Hall has nothing to do with the Purple Void Pingshi you're looking for, do you still want to go up to Maoshan Mountain?" Zhang Zefang asked in astonishment, "Have you forgotten what your master told you in the first place?" ”
"My master told me not to go to Maoshan as a disciple of Maoshan Mountain." Wu Zhiyuan replied.
"Then in what capacity did you go to Maoshan this time?" Zhang Zefang asked.
Wu Zhiyuan shook his head, not knowing how to answer, in fact, when Zhou Huanzhang and Bai Jinqiu went to Yunnan to look for him, they already knew that he was a disciple of Maoshan, so this time Wu Zhiyuan went to Maoshan and could not hide his identity.
"Zhiyuan, do you know the reason why your master won't let you set foot on Maoshan as a disciple of Maoshan?" Zhang Zefang asked earnestly.
Wu Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly looked up at Zhang Zefang, in fact, he had been thinking about this question in his mind for a long time, but he still couldn't understand it, but he didn't expect Zhang Zefang to mention it now.
Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked, "Why?" Master, you sue me. ”
Zhang Zefang sighed and said, "Because the current Maoshan is a place of right and wrong. ”
