The years when I explored the fairyland

Chu Zhou walked away quite simply, with a sense of "getting done with your clothes and leaving, hiding your merits and fame".

In fact, he really didn't want people to know that he was the one who killed Luo Gan, who was traveling alone for thousands of miles.

Of course, because he was walking in a hurry, Chu Zhou had no idea what level of chaos would erupt in the alley and how much trouble it would cause.

He just relied on his sharp five senses to carefully avoid the Jianghu visitors, walked through the gaps, and returned to Zhao Mansion.

At this time, the effect of the poisonous smoke has worn off, and the Zhao Mansion has also gone from being strangely quiet to being bustling with people. Many people gathered here, covering their swollen heads.

Member Zhao was also there, but he was in better condition. Obviously, he was not in the Zhao mansion before.

The first ones to notice Chu Zhou's return were naturally the three of Yi Huai, and they immediately surrounded him.

Chu Zhou looked over, and Yi Huai nodded slightly to him, with an uncontrollable smile on his face. Obviously, he had gained a lot.

However, they did not elaborate because Zhao Yuanwai had already rushed over holding a lantern.

From a distance, he said: "Taoist Priest, Taoist Priest Chu, are you going to get rid of the one-horned ghost?"

"Of course, but I don't know, would you like to meet Mr. Zhao?" Chu Zhou turned his head and asked with a half-smile:

Zhao Yuanwai was stunned, blinked his little eyes, and asked: "Well, that damn ghost, can I see it?"

Chu Zhou smiled: "Of course you can't see dead ghosts, but you can still see dead people."

As he spoke, he had already taken out the head wrapped in clothing behind him, and handed it forward, saying, "Now, it's right here."

Zhao Yuanwai was startled by the outline of the human head in front of him. His ball-like body shrank back, his feet were unstable and he was about to fall.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Chu Zhou stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and pulled him up.

He seemed a little frightened, but he had already reacted and immediately asked: "Tell me, do you think this ghost is a pretender?"

Chu Zhou looked around and said: "Executive member Zhao, I think it's best to find a good place to talk. There are many people here and it's not a place for talking!"

"Okay, okay, that's right. Let's talk in the study. No one will disturb us there."

…

Zhao Mansion,

Inner courtyard, study.

Red candles as thick as a baby's arm were lit, and the dim yellow light illuminated the entire room, and also reflected on the head on the desk, making it even more eerie.

On the side, Chu Zhou had already finished a cup of tea. Seeing that Zhao Yuanwai had not come to his senses after hearing the news, he did not rush him.

After all, if there is a lot of news, the impact will naturally be greater.

Especially these news, which are also related to his daughter's good reputation, are really difficult for him as an old father to accept.

Chu Zhou didn't rush him, he just continued to add tea and taste it with great patience.

A full quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yuanwai came to his senses. He looked at the head and said, "Taoist Master Chu, Taoist Priest, are you sure this is the villain Luo Gan?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the city gate tomorrow and have a look. There should be a wanted warrant hanging on the notice board over there!"

After a pause, Chu Zhou continued: "Of course, if the officials still don't believe this, then I can take the head to the government office.

I believe those wanted posters hanging on him will definitely make me a fortune! "

"Don't, don't, don't..."

Zhao Yuanwai hurriedly stopped him, he took a deep breath, and then said with a wry smile: "It makes the Taoist priest laugh. It's my goddaughter's incompetence that actually caused her to cause such a big scandal.

It’s really, really…”

"However, I believe that the Taoist priest did not expose it immediately and was still willing to protect the reputation of my Zhao family.

I just hope that the Taoist Master will take pity on my old father's difficulty, and that all this should not be publicized to the outside world. Just saying that the Taoist Master lowered the one-horned evil spirit can be regarded as a conclusion to the matter. "

Zhao Yuanwai took a step forward, got closer, and said: "Of course, I know that Xuanzhen Temple will suffer great losses.

These are all made up by my Zhao family, and the Taoist Master will never suffer a loss in matters of money.

From now on, if Xuanzhen Guan has something to do, just say so, but I will never shirk anything within my power. "

"Director Chu, do you think this is a good idea?"

Chu Zhou lowered his head slightly and saw pleading and expectation in Zhao Yuanwai's small eyes.

He paused and said: "Zhao Yuanwai loves his daughter so much that I naturally want to fulfill her wish. However, I also have two things here that I need Zhao Yuanwai to help me solve."

"You said..."

"First of all, I saw that Luo Gan and his beloved daughter, even though they were having an affair without a matchmaker, they still had real feelings for each other.

Now, if I kill this Luo Gan, she won't cause trouble for my Xuanzhen Temple in the future, right?

I'm not afraid, but having such a potential enemy and not knowing what actions she will take really makes me a little uneasy! "

Zhao Yuanwai patted his chest and promised: "Taoist Priest, I will strictly monitor my daughter from now on. If something happens that Taoist Priest is worried about, then my life will be left to Taoist Priest's disposal."

"This is a bit much, too much, but do I take it seriously?"

"really!"

"Okay, let me talk about the second point. Zhao Yuanwai also knows that my brother Xuanzhen Guanshi practices martial arts and has a huge demand for all kinds of precious medicinal materials. Some of them even have money and nowhere to buy them.

I know that there are many caravans under the Zhao family, traveling all over the country, hoping to use these channels to purchase some valuable medicinal materials.

Of course, the money will be settled by my Xuanzhen Temple, and even some travel expenses and labor are fine. "

According to Chu Zhou's previous thinking, with money in hand and access to Zhanji Pharmacy, wouldn't it be easy to buy medicinal materials?

But it was only recently that he discovered that this was not the case!

In this social system dominated by small-scale peasant economy, most villages and towns can achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency.

Therefore, business activities are really not as frequent and active as he imagined.

In other words, there will really be a situation where you have money but can't buy what you need.

Moreover, in the medicinal materials industry, this situation is particularly serious.

Because, no matter whether it is a noble family or a sect, they all have to train warriors, and the consumption of medicinal materials is indispensable, which is almost a bottomless pit-like investment.

Those ordinary medicinal materials are just that, they can be grown, but things like ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are really hard to come by.

Before, with the support of the big medicine obtained by the Xue family, Chu Zhou didn't feel it deeply. But now, after consuming a lot, he realized something was wrong, and that's why he made this request.

Of course, Zhao Yuanwai, who was originally prepared to bleed heavily, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Because for Chu Zhou, what was very troublesome was just a matter of giving instructions.

Taking advantage of the convenience of the caravan, they can plunder everywhere they go, and they don't have to pay for it themselves, so of course they have no problem with it.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanwai also patted his chest and agreed very simply.

So far, both parties have settled everything and everyone is happy.

Seeing that the sky was still dark, Zhao Yuanwai called the servants and prepared to clear out a few guest rooms, but Chu Zhou stopped him.

It's not like he doesn't have a house in Baisha City, and he doesn't want to live here.

Zhao Yuanwai did not insist and just sent everyone to the gate. The figures in front of him disappeared into the darkness, and he sighed quietly. He seemed to have aged a few years.

He was not in a hurry to rest, but walked to a guest room. After pushing the door open, he saw the second daughter of the Zhao family sitting there blankly under the candlelight.

Looking at his daughter, Zhao Yuanwai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying softly: "Silly girl, if you had told me earlier and made it clear to me, why would you have done this?"

…

long street,

Yi Huai was holding a lantern in front to clear the way, Wei Fangjie was holding a spear upside down and holding down the formation, and Chu Zhou and Fan Tiehu were walking in the middle.

In the distance, there was a huge fire and noise, but it had faded here, and only the sound of the 'tap, tap, tap, tap' of the horses' hooves echoed as the four horses walked.

After a long time, Yi Huai still couldn't hold it back and spoke first: "Elder brother, Luo Gan's head is really not going to be sent to the Yamen. It is said that the wanted order has accumulated to ten thousand taels of silver.

That’s a full ten thousand taels of snowflake silver! "

Chu Zhou came to his senses, glanced at him sideways, and said, "Zhao Yuanwai has already agreed to compensate for the losses, what else do you want?"

Yi Huai muttered: "I just feel a little bit panicked?!"

At this time, Wei Fangjie said: "Elder brother, why do I feel that you don't want others to know that it was me, Xuanzhen Guan, who killed Luo Gan?

Ordinarily, this should be an excellent opportunity to become famous, right? "

"You have quick reactions, kid."

Chu Zhou gave Wei Fangjie an approving look, and then said slowly: "My Xuan Zhen Guan needs to be famous, and I, Chu Zhou, also need to be famous, but Luo Gan's identity is too sensitive.

A traitor to the Yunya Sword Sect, a great martial artist in the Tongmai Realm, he also stole the best secret books, and he had such an underground affair with the second daughter of the Zhao family, and the so-called elder's son...

Oh my god, it's so messy that I don't even want to get involved. "

"Besides, Zhao Yuanwai is the county magistrate of Baisha City after all. He has the power to manage a lot of things. It's better not to offend him if it's not necessary.

Just give him some face and make up for the losses. Naturally, both parties will be satisfied, so that's fine. "

At this point, Chu Zhou seemed to have remembered something and asked: "By the way, what did you find out? Are you so happy when you see me?"

"Yes, yes, they are all good things!"

As Yi Huai said this, he looked at Fan Tiehu and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, where are the things?"

Fan Tiehu didn't move slowly. He took out three secret books from his arms and handed them over.

"Elder brother, this is what we found from the attic. They are all hidden in secret compartments."

Chu Zhou took it immediately, and with a quick glance, he knew it in his heart.

A copy of "Wind, Frost, Cloud and Snow Sword" can help you enter the advanced martial arts realm.

A copy of "Ghost Shadow Steps" should be the Qinggong body method used by Luo Gan.

There is another book that is even more interesting. When it comes to martial arts, it is not martial arts, and when it comes to secret techniques, it is not secret techniques. Instead, it is a combination of various materials, techniques, and tools that can create all kinds of incredible effects. It is a magic trick!

Therefore, this book is also called "The Collection of Luo Family Tricks"!

Yesterday's update was rushed. A cousin was admitted to the ICU. I went to see him. He had cancer and multiple organ failure. Thinking about how we played together when we were children, I felt uncomfortable. I felt that life was so fragile!
