Chapter Eighty-Eight: Returning to the West

The carriage drove out of the fog unhurriedly, and the two men holding the silver jumped down excitedly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the old Taoist priest three times. Then they looked mysterious, and told the people who came over about the secret of the fairyland they had seen.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard inscrutablely, and said loudly:

"Those two little friends have been taken by Emperor Donghua and taken back to be fairy children for refining medicine. Zhang Jushi, time is running out, if you are still hesitant, I will lead Zhao Deng and say goodbye first!"

Zhang Dahu left two drops of sweat on his fat face, and nodded yes. He wiped his sweat and couldn't help but look back, five literati who had returned in the carriage gathered together, holding silver and telling each other what they had seen, and people who had no chance next to them surrounded them with envy and jealousy.

Zhang Dahu finally couldn't hold back the greed in his heart, his face revealed a determined look, and loudly ordered the housekeeper to take all the gold, silver and jewelry he was hiding. I want to take the old fairy to the fairyland, even if I can't be seen by the gods and stay, I have to multiply the family property tenfold.

Zhao Gongzi lowered his head, the corners of his mouth curled slightly proudly, two months of hard work were not in vain, and the fat big fish finally took the bait.

There was chaos in the courtyard, and Zhang Dahu's wives and concubines all ran out, watching the maids pack all their jewelry and jewelry. Zhang Dahu's mother, an old lady with a sixtieth birthday, looked at Zhang Dahu's crazy red eyes, and couldn't help but persuade:

"Son, we have thousands of acres of fertile land, and we are not short of money, don't mess with your heart!"

Zhang Dahu's face was full of gambler-like madness, and with the excitement of becoming an immortal, how could he listen to half a word of advice. He scolded his old mother loudly, then turned his head to change his face to flattery, bowed to the old Taoist priest, and begged the old fairy to say good things, can he let himself stay in the fairy land and live forever.

The old Taoist priest ignored the love on his face, talking about fate and creation, and finally seemed to be unable to stand his request, and promised to say good things for him, and strive to make him be favored by an immortal.

The ragged scholars around him stiffened their necks, and kept stealing glances at the delicate wives and concubines of more than a dozen rooms of Zhang Dahu. What makes them even more envious is the seemingly inexhaustible treasures transported by the family.

After working for a while, the carriage was full of six boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and in the envious eyes of everyone, Zhang Dahu, Zhao Gongzi and the old Taoist priest got into the carriage.

The old Taoist priest swept the dust, and the unicorn took a step. Strange to say, this horse pulled so many people and gold and silver, but he did not even breathe, and walked unhurriedly into the fog under the eyes of everyone.

As soon as they entered the fog, the old Taoist priest and Zhao Gongzi immediately tore off their hypocritical masks, and the old Taoist priest commanded loudly:

"Jin Jia Lux, quickly get rid of this fat pig!"

One of the golden armor wrestlers trembled, but did not dare to move, but the other golden armor wrestler was much calmer, answered, and leaned forward.

The matter was already under control, the old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to Zhang Dahu at all, and took care of himself to lead the car to the flag, and the carriage slowly changed color from the air with the naked eye, and it became a completely different appearance.

Bai Ze originally wanted to kill the old Taoist priest with a sword, but when he saw that he was struggling to cast an invisibility spell on the carriage, he paused and obediently walked towards Zhang Dahu.

Zhang Dahu couldn't see anything, and when he heard the words of the old Taoist priest that he couldn't understand at all, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, grabbed Zhao Gongzi's arm on the side, and said nervously;

"Virtuous nephew, why doesn't the carriage move, when will we reach the fairyland?"

At this time, Bai Ze had already grabbed Zhang Dahu's neck, took out a handkerchief that the golden armor man had brought and wiped with sweat medicine, covered his mouth, and stunned him in the car.

Zhao Gongzi viciously broke away Zhang Dahu's fat hand, remembering the grievances suffered by the two months of weakness and wrongdoing, he was vicious, pulled out Bai Ze's long sword, and stabbed Zhang Dahu's chest.

Blood flowed out, Zhao Gongzi pulled out his long sword, and his body was splashed with speckled drops of blood. Zhao Gongzi turned his head and saw the corpse wearing Bai Ze's clothes again, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a gloomy smile:

"This group of lowly mortal ants still dares to resist, it's really damned!"

The old man on the side finally finished casting the spell, his forehead was full of sweat, some of him couldn't stand steadily, he slumped in the car, and greeted:

"Apprentice, don't waste time, stay away quickly, your junior brother is still waiting for us to meet in the capital. ”

Zhao Gongzi hurriedly became submissive, stepped on the face of Zhang Dahu's corpse, and got into the carriage.

Seeing that the golden armor was still stunned, the old Taoist priest frowned, and said:

"Why don't you two sit down quickly? By the way, what about the sword I asked you to put away?"

Bai Ze pulled a handful of the scholar who was still stunned, picked up the long sword that was thrown on the ground by Zhao Gongzi, and walked towards the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest glanced at the blood on the sword in disgust, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can take it first, and then make a plan when we leave here." ”

Bai Ze suppressed the killing intent, nodded, and sat in the back of the carriage, the scholar finally reacted, and hid behind Bai Ze in a hurry, his body still trembling slightly.

The old Taoist priest pinched the law in his hand, and a layer of misty rumbling light shrouded around the carriage, and the unicorn spread its hooves and pulled the carriage away at a gallop.

The carriage rushed out of the fog and ran a hundred meters away in an instant, but the servants on the side of the road could not see the carriage at all, let alone hear the sound of action. Only a layer of ruts appeared abruptly on the ground, proving that a group of swindlers had fled the place with the property of Zhang Dahu's entire family.

The people in the courtyard waited for a long time, but there was no sign of the carriage. However, everyone is still regarded as Zhang Dahu being favored by the gods and enjoying happiness in the fairy world. Only Zhang Dahu's old mother felt more and more uneasy, and urged the family to go in and take a look several times, but how dare this group of laymen provoke the immortals, several old stewards and Zhang Dahu's wife have been persuading the old lady to feel at ease.

Waiting until evening, the formation gradually became untenable, and the fog began to disperse.

At last, the people couldn't hold back their suspicions, and the two bold nurses walked into the fog together under the command of the old lady.

Soon there was an exclamation from inside, and the two guards stumbled out with blood on their hands, saying that there were only three dead people inside, and there was no trace of the fairyland gate and carriage.

At this time, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing the corpse of Zhang Dahu staring at frightened eyes. The old lady immediately fell unconscious, Zhang Dahu's wife cried and grabbed the ground, and the crowd was chaotic.

Later, the government came to deal with the case and arrested the literati who had obtained the silver, but they were indeed not accomplices, and where did they know the traces of the old Taoist.

The government had no choice but to draw pictures and figures, and wanted the old fairy and Zhao Gongzi. However, no similar person was found, and as time went on, the case was closed, and only one story about a liar and a stupid big man was widely circulated.
