Chapter 105: Ruyunlong Counts with His Fingers (55)

Liu Tang has entrusted his life to me. No one else can offer such a token of loyalty.

If we rank the confidants, then Liu Tang would definitely be among the top five.

With such decisiveness and such strong strength, he is destined to be successful.

Others can only envy.

In Yuncheng, Cao Jie had been back for seven or eight days, but he ignored the birthday gift and let Wu Yong make the plan.

Naturally, he stayed at home, comfortably served by Xiao Jinlian and Yan Poxi.

[Experience value of "Cao Thief" +0.5]

[Experience value of "Cao Thief" +0.3]

[Experience value of "Cao Thief" +0.6]

The road ahead for Cao thief is long and arduous!

There is a poem that goes: A man stands alone among falling flowers, and swallows fly in pairs in the light rain.

A dim light shone on the bunk bed, and Cao Jie was sweating profusely.

After a long time, Xiao Jinlian regained some strength, stretched out her soft hands and slowly drew circles on the white jade chest:
"Sir, I seem to have developed some power from the God-Conceiving Realm."

"Oh! What did you learn?"

"A white lotus."

"What's the use? Take it out and let me see it."

"Husband, don't be anxious! I'm really exhausted."

"I see that you have improved in strength, so you can whip me again."

"Can't I just take it out?"

As she spoke, her soul condensed and gradually became transparent. White lotuses blossomed all around her, and the fragrance filled the air.

Cao Jie leaned over and took a quick sniff, only to feel himself being sucked into the world of mortals, filled with endless desires.

If he had not been tested by the Six Desires Orbs for a long time, he would have made a fool of himself on the spot.

"Snapped!"

"Little witch, a beautiful white lotus, how did you turn it into something evil?"

"I...I just recite scriptures every day! It's not my fault."

"I can use it to liven up the atmosphere next time."

"Oh...oh! Okay!"

Qingxi Village, the backyard of Chao Gai's manor.

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Shi Qian, Du Qian and Jin Dajian gathered together, and there were no outsiders.

Because he wanted to do something big, Chao Baozheng laid out money, paper horses, incense, flowers, candles, and also placed the pig and sheep heads that he had cooked last night.

Seeing Chao Gai's sincerity, everyone was delighted and swore, "Liang Zhongshu harmed the people in Daming Prefecture and plundered money and goods to celebrate the birthday of Master Cai in Tokyo. We in Liangshan will take this ill-gotten wealth, not for my own enjoyment, but to enforce justice on behalf of heaven."

After all six of them swore an oath, they burned paper money, which was considered a worship of heaven and earth.

Chao Gai was also very excited. He had long wanted to take a step further with Liangshan, and now that he had the chance, he naturally worked extra hard.

We just need to wait for the birthday gift to arrive near Huangnigang and then we can take action.

The six heroes were drinking in the back hall when a farmhand reported, "There is a Taoist master at the door who wants to see Baozheng to collect food."

Chao Gai waved his hand and said, "You are so ignorant. Don't you see that I am entertaining guests here to drink? Just give him three or five liters of rice. Why do you have to ask me?"

The farmhand was scolded and could only smile bitterly and said, "I gave him rice, but he didn't want it. He just wanted to see the chief."

Chao Gai snorted and said, "You must think it's too little. Go and fight him three or two more times. Then tell him that Bao Zheng is having a drink at the manor today and has no time to meet you."

"Yes!"

Not long after the farmhand left, he came back to report: "The gentleman still refused to leave. He claimed to be a pure Taoist. He did not come for money or rice, but only wanted to see Baozheng." Chao Gai frowned and said: "You will not agree to his request. Just say that you really don't have time today and ask him to come another day to meet you."

The farmhand said helplessly: "I said the same thing, but the gentleman still refused to leave and only wanted to meet Baozheng today."

Chao Gai waved his hand and said, "No today, ask him to come back tomorrow."

Less than half an hour after the farmhand had left, he heard a commotion outside the farm gate.

Another farmhand came running over to report, "The master got angry and knocked down a dozen farmhands!"

"He does have some strength." Chao Gai was not flustered. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Brothers, have a drink. Chao Gai will go and take a look."

Then he walked out from the back hall with a gait of eight characters.

When they got to the village gate, they saw the Taoist master, eight feet tall and dignified, beating up a farmhand under a locust tree outside the village gate, saying, "Do you think I'm a stranger and can't bully me?"

Seeing that he had a strange figure, Chao Gai shouted, "Sir, calm down. You came to Chao Baozheng just to beg for alms. He has already given you rice. Why are you doing this?"

The gentleman laughed loudly: "Bao Zheng, is there a business worth 100,000 strings of cash that can be done?"

Chao Gai was immediately startled: "Do you know Chao Baozheng?"

"I have only heard of him but never met him."

"Then you recognize me?"

"Judging from your appearance, you are undoubtedly the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King."

"Haha, sir, you can actually read faces. Please, please, come to the manor and talk."

When Wu Yong saw the Taoist master in green robe coming in, he pulled Liu Tang and others away.

When Chao Gai saw Wu Yong, he knew that he didn't want to see outsiders, so he took him to the hall next door.

"May I ask your name, sir? Where is your hometown?" Chao Gai asked.

"My surname is Gongsun, my taboo name is Sheng, and my Taoist name is Master Yiqing. Because I have learned a Taoist skill, I am good at calling the wind and rain, and riding the clouds. People in the martial arts world call me Ruyunlong.

I have long heard of Chao Baozheng, a man from Dongxi Village in Yuncheng County, but I have never met him. I now have 100,000 strings of gold and pearls to send to Baozheng as a gift for meeting him. I wonder if Baozheng is willing to accept it?"

Chao Gai laughed and said, "Sir, are you talking about the birthday gift of Daming Mansion?"

Gongsun Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "I already know, it seems that I am a step too late."

"It's not too late, it's not too late!"

Wu Yong, waving a goose feather fan, led a group of brothers and strode in from the next yard.

Several big men standing in a row were indeed quite oppressive.

Gongsun Sheng didn't care. He counted with his fingers and nodded, saying, "It's not too late. I've heard many heroes in the martial arts world talk about Mr. Jialiang's name. Who would have thought that fate would lead to the meeting at Baozheng Manor? Today, I'm able to meet Mr. Jialiang. It shows that Baozheng is generous and righteous. Therefore, all the heroes in the world come to him to study."

"Ok?"

Wu Yong frowned slightly. When did he become a disciple of Chao Baozheng? Could this Taoist be a fake? It's not so accurate!

Liu Tang thought to himself: Is this Taoist priest here to steal my brother's girlfriend? If so, he must not be allowed to stay...

"Hey! No, no..."

Gongsun Sheng suddenly frowned, thinking to himself: Is it because I am not good enough in my skills that I made a mistake? This shouldn't be the case! Before I went down the mountain, my master had already calculated my future. If I made a mistake, could it be that my master also made a mistake? It's impossible!
He is a cultivator, and has achieved great success in spiritual cultivation. All his thoughts only flash through his mind.

He pinched a Taoist incantation and asked, "May I ask where you are now, Mr. Jialiang?"

"Now I am planning to get the 100,000 strings of cash you mentioned at Baozheng Manor."

"..."

Gongsun Sheng calculated again and nodded, "I am willing to use my magical powers to disrupt the will of heaven and help the hero obtain the birthday gift without any worries. I wonder if Mr. Baozhenghe is willing to join me?"

"It would be great if a Taoist priest could disturb the secrets of heaven!"

Chao Gai had no doubt about it and was immediately overjoyed.
