Chapter 74 72: Mei Jiao Niang, Fortune Teller

If the Yunya Sword Sect is rich, then the Wenxiang Temple is truly arrogant, which can be seen from its base.

The Yunya Sword Sect rented an inn, and the manager and waiters were still the same people as before. The Wenxiang Temple actually bought a mansion, not only paying the full amount, but also providing servants and attendants.

They all used indentured slaves purchased through brokers.

If Chu Zhou came here, he would definitely feel familiar with this place, because this was the former residence of the Xue family.

However, now a signboard with the words ‘Wenxiangguan Courtyard’ has been hung up.

At this time, deep inside the Zhou family’s villa, in a guest room.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
In the luxurious guest room, the dwarf old man was pressed on a long bench, and a man with a cold face was holding a wooden board and hitting him again and again.

The wooden board was as tall as a person and as thick as a bowl. The upper part was covered with densely packed nails. The cold-hearted man put all his strength into each hit.

The dwarf old man was also an expert in marrow training, but under the nail board, he was beaten so hard that he screamed in agony, his back was covered in blood and flesh, and it would not heal in a few hits.

In other words, he had successfully cleansed his bones and marrow and had a successful blood transfusion, and his physique had made great progress. Otherwise, if a great martial artist with Tongmai had come, he would probably have been beaten to death.

I don’t know how many times I got spanked, but finally a charming female voice spoke up: “Okay, that’s it!”

“Yes!”

The indifferent man paused and looked at the dwarf old man again. His entire back was covered in blood and flesh mixed with clothes, with not a single intact piece.

The dwarf’s face was so pale that it was completely bloodless. His upper lip was biting his lower lip, which was trembling, and his breathing was as rapid as a bellows.

Tatata!
A pair of beautiful embroidered shoes stopped in front of him, a faint fragrance came, and a beautiful hand lowered slightly and lifted up the face of the dwarf old man.

“Ah ha ha!”

“It hurts…”

Just this one action made the dwarf old man almost faint from the pain, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Then, he saw a charming face, as gorgeous and dazzling as a blooming peach blossom, making it difficult for him to control himself.

Even though he was about to faint from the pain, the dwarf still managed to force a smile and said, “Greetings, greetings to the Left Protector!”

The charming girl smiled, and the indifferent man next to her almost stared at her. After he reacted, he immediately lowered his head and dared not look directly at her.

In fact, his body trembled slightly, as if because of the offense, and he didn’t know whether it was out of fear or fear!

The charming woman’s expression did not change, she just asked: “My master asked me to ask you one thing, are you convinced by these 100 killing sticks? Or are you not convinced?”

“I accept it!”

“Are you really convinced or just pretending?”

“I’m really convinced!”

The charming woman let go of the dwarf’s head and couldn’t help but groan in pain again. She shook her hand and said with disdain, “You should be convinced. The young master is dead, and you actually have a chance to stay alive. You can really say that you are blessed with a good life.”

After a pause, she asked again: “My master asked me to ask you another question. Are you sure that Chongwen was killed by the Yunya Sword Sect?”

The dwarf old man tried hard to prop himself up, gritting his teeth and said: “I have investigated these days and can almost confirm that there is still a force in Baisha City.

I don’t know which demon sect it is, or whether it is a certain evil cult, it is more likely that they will take action.”

“What’s specific?”

“I don’t know!”

“Waste, it’s really waste!”

The charming woman scolded him, waved her hand, and said, “Come here, take this old guy out and throw him into the woodshed.”

Following her order, the indifferent man walked forward, picked up the dwarf old man, and was about to walk outside.

“Wait, wait…” the old dwarf screamed:
The charming woman waved her hand and said, “Do you have anything else to say?”

“Give me medicine, Black Jade Paste, Life-Sustaining Powder, all of them. I want to recover in the shortest possible time. I can still charge into battle, and I will also have a better understanding of the situation in Baisha City.

Elder Zuo, I can better assist you and complete the master’s orders.”

“Haha, you still have some desire to survive. Okay, okay, I’ll satisfy your request.”

Waving her hand again, she said casually: “Satisfy him and make him stand up in the shortest possible time.”

“Yes!”

When everyone left, the charming woman sat on the bed, took the wine jug, and poured it directly into her mouth.

After a long while, a deep laugh seemed to be heard: “Hehe, dead, good death, good death!”

If an old veteran comes here, he will know how cruel and ruthless this Mei Jiaoniang, the left protector of Wenxiang Temple, is!
It is said that on her wedding day, she killed more than ten members of her husband’s family with her own hands, just because her husband did not satisfy her during their lovemaking.

Of course, she is also Zhou Wu’s admirer.

……

In Baisha City,

A small stall was set up in the streets.

The table is not big, covered with a white cloth, and there is a big word “Suan” on the front that is very eye-catching.

At the back, a couplet was erected. The top line reads “Split the yin and yang and break the five elements, and look at the sun and the moon in the palm of your hand”, and the bottom line reads “Measure the Feng Shui and explore the world, and hold the universe in your sleeve”.

There is another horizontal banner: Accurate prediction!

The tone was really loud, and the gentleman sitting behind the desk was quite young, with a chubby figure and a mustache, looking quite festive.

What’s even more unique is that I don’t know where he got the rare sunglasses from. The mirror surface at a distance is made of unknown material, it is pitch black, and it is stuck on his nose.

At this moment, he was holding the young lady’s white and tender hand, and while touching it, he kept saying, “Young lady, do you want to ask about marriage? Or do you want to ask about longevity?”

“What about marriage? What about life span?” “As for life span, the young lady has a long life span. It’s hard to say whether she will live to be a hundred years old, but living to seventy or eighty years old is still normal.

As for this marriage?”

His stroking hand paused, as if he had noticed something, and then he stopped stroking again, his brows unconsciously furrowed.

“What happened to my marriage?”

The fortune teller spoke again: “The young lady should be engaged, right? They are childhood sweethearts, but I think this marriage is difficult to succeed.

Your husband’s family has been having a hard time lately, and there are concerns about their lives. It’s hard to predict the future!”

“This, this, what should I do? Yes, sir, do you have a solution?”

“That’s his business. I’m telling your fortune now, so I don’t care what he does.”

The fortune teller paused, and then said, “In my opinion, you will have three husbands in your life, but none of them is a good match for you. You will be displaced in the second half of your life and have affairs with many men. Your life will be miserable, but you will live a long life.”

“Three husbands, wandering around, having affairs with many men?”

The young lady’s voice became sharper and sharper, and she even shouted until her throat was broken. She put her hands on her waist and cursed: “Are you saying that I am a lewd person by nature, comparable to the prostitutes in the brothel?
Am I that kind of shameless person?
You, a fortune teller, are so reckless and full of lies for a little money. You are simply a vicious person with a rotten heart.”

As she said this, the young lady kicked the bench away, pulled out various items from his table, threw them all over the floor, and left with a twist of her waist.

After he walked away, a boy with two buns came over and helped to clean up while nagging: “You do this again?
Just pick some nice words to say to her, and then find some reasons to get her to pay more money.”

“She likes to hear it, and I’ll wait for the money.

Why do you have to do that? Why do you have to say those embarrassing and annoying things? You don’t get paid a penny, and you still have to endure her chores. Really!”

The little boy kept muttering to himself, but he was very nimble and soon he had put everything in order. Then he looked at the fortune teller again.

The fortune teller had already picked up a folding fan and placed it accurately on his head.

Snapped!
“oops……”

“Sir, you hit me on the head again?!”

“Sir, I hit you on the head to teach you a lesson. My art of physiognomy is all about collecting money from people and helping them avoid disasters.

Her fate shows that she is born to be a whore and a slut, and she will bring bad luck to her husband and children, so I have to tell her the truth.”

The little boy was puzzled: “But the problem is, she didn’t give any money either?”

The gentleman smiled slyly: “So, I don’t have to do anything for her, and I don’t have to ruin her fate. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

“what!”

The boy was stunned for a moment, and finally understood that his master did it on purpose. However, he did not think his master was smart, and said, “Master, you use this method again. If our master knows about it, he will definitely beat you with a stick.”

“Do you dare to complain?”

“Of course I wouldn’t dare!”

“That’s okay.”

The fortune teller smiled complacently, unfolded his fan, and waved it again and again: “For people like us, we can live longer if we do less.

Yes, how is the news investigation going?”

“Basically, we can lock onto the Xuanzhen Temple. The eldest disciple of Taoist Xuanzhen should be quite powerful.

If what he guessed was correct, the tattered Taoist died at his hands. But I don’t know why he could practice martial arts and control ghosts at the same time?
It is said that ghosts are bloodthirsty and should not be practiced together.”

After a pause, the little Taoist boy continued, “However, the situation in Baisha City is not right. It’s okay with Yunya Sword Sect and Wenxiang Temple, but I also saw a madman from the Pure World Red Lotus Society. It’s possible that there will be a big chaos.

Why don’t we go? The mission given by the alliance is to investigate anyway. We can just report the news and that’s it.”

“No no no!”

The fortune teller shook his head and said, “Since you are here, I still have to see that person. I want to take a look at him with my own eyes.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pulled his sunglasses down slightly, revealing his eyes. They were covered with a layer of pure white, completely blocking the light in his eyes, just like cataracts.

But with just a blink of an eye, the eyes returned to normal, even as clean as a newborn baby’s.

……

night,
A rare banquet was held in the government office.

The county lord Ji Mingqian hosted the banquet, and the county lieutenant Wang Fugui, the county magistrate Zhao Yuanwai, and the chief clerk Gu Xianming were in attendance. The guests at the banquet were naturally the five people Chu Zhou, Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie.

The banquet was not held inside the house, but in the courtyard. A table of wine was set up under a lush tree. One could raise a glass and enjoy the bright moon and stars, which was quite a sight.

To be honest, Chu Zhou didn’t have much experience in things like banquets, and Xu Cheng and the others had even less experience. Only Wang Fugui and Zhao Yuanwai were truly worldly-wise people who could make everyone happy with just a few words, which was why the banquet did not seem dull.

After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, we finally got to the point.

Chu Zhou put down his wine glass and asked, “Your Excellency, the situation in Baisha City is already like this. What should we do?”

The county lord exchanged glances with the other three people before saying, “What we mean is to directly publicize the name of the temple master to deter the villains.”

Chu Zhou shook his head: “It’s not appropriate. The main thing is that even if I am willing to take action, the enemy reinforcements have arrived. How many people can I fight against?
Therefore, our role is not to be seen in public, but to…”

At this point, Chu Zhou’s expression froze, and he suddenly made a move, grasping the air.

Then, another arrow fell into his hand, with a buzzing sound, and the tip of the arrow was less than three inches away from the county magistrate’s eyes.

This is the second time, the second time!
When the county magistrate reacted, he felt weak all over. The county lieutenant Wang Fugui’s face changed and he immediately shouted loudly: “Enemy attack, enemy attack, there is an assassin!”

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo…

Along with his shouts, a torrential rain of arrows fell on his head.
