Wudang

Chapter 127

Early the next morning, before Zhang Junbao woke up, he heard Miao Daoyi knocking on the door outside.

"Pu wants the engraving we found last night?" Zhang Junbao opened the door to let Miao Daoyi in, and asked in a daze after hearing Miao Daoyi's words.

"Not only ours, but also the gold, silver and swords that were sent to the government office. They mean that these belong to the Pu family." Miao Daoyi replied.

Zhang Junbao snorted coldly in his heart.

This Pushi came fast enough.

But considering that this is Pu's sphere of influence, it's not too surprising.

Although the children in the station were slaughtered, there are still other children in Fuzhou.

With Pu Shi being well-informed, he naturally found the door at the first time.

With Pu's wealth, the gold, silver and swords must not be appreciated. The main thing is to rush to the engraving, Zhang Junbao knows it without thinking.

"Gold and silver swords have nothing to do with us." Zhang Junbao replied, "As for the engraving of the Wanshou Dao Cang, do they dare to ask for it?"

Miao Daoyi also thought so.

How can the engraving of Wanshou Dao Zang be given to Pu Shi? This is a treasure of Taoism.

"Don't pay attention to them, let Ke Zhen handle it." Zhang Junbao said again.

"I'm afraid Mr. Ke would not dare to offend Mrs. Pu." Miao Daoyi said.

"Then he dares to offend us?" Zhang Junbao said with a chuckle, "You think we are soft persimmons, easy to pinch?"

"Uncle Master, we are foreigners after all, we can't stay here all the time, Ke Zhen will probably be intimidated by Pu's power." Miao Daoyi said.

Zhang Junbao still knew clearly that what Miao Daoyi said was right.

I and others will return to the north soon, and it is impossible to stay in the south all the time.

And Pu's influence here is huge, so Ke Zhen is naturally afraid of Pu's power when he is an official here.

After all, if Pu Shi is so powerful, if something happens or he doesn't cooperate with him, the prefect, it will be difficult for him, the prefect, to secure his position.

Pu's people came to ask for things, but Ke Zhen probably couldn't refuse.

As soon as Miao Dao knew that Ke Zhen had sent someone to inform Pu's visit to the Shangfu Yamen, the purpose was very clear, and that was to say hello to himself in advance.

"Then wait for Ke Zhen to come over." Zhang Junbao said, "It's impossible to engrave the plate."

Not long after, Ke Zhen hurried over to look for Zhang Junbao.

Of course he now knew that Zhang Junbao was the leader of the Quanzhen sect, and even though Yang Zhilian and Liang Zhiyong were the strongest, they basically acted as guards.

As long as Zhang Junbao is persuaded, the two of them will basically not object.

Seeing Miao Dao's presence, Ke Zhen knew that Miao Dao must have told Zhang Junbao about Pu's visit.

However, he still told Zhang Junbao about his purpose of coming.

"Absurd, this is something from my Taoist sect, what has it to do with his Pu family?" Zhang Junbao directly refused.

Ke Zhen secretly groaned in his heart, he knew this was the result.

How easy is it to get Quanzhen Sect to hand over the engraving?

It's just that he was still dissatisfied with Zhang Junbao's attitude.

Speaking of it, it was justifiable for Pu Shi to come here to ask for things.

Although these engravings were left by Huang Chang back then, the house has been purchased by Pu Shi, and the things inside naturally belong to Pu Shi.

Even if this Wanshou Dao Zang is a Taoist classic, it cannot be said that the Quanzhen Sect can take it as its own, there is no reason for this.

It is reasonable for Pu Shi to claim the ownership of the engraving plate.

In his opinion, this matter is obviously a fallacy of the Quanzhen religion.

But Ke Zhen didn't dare to offend the Quanzhen Sect too much, especially now that the engraving plate was in Zhang Junbao's hands, how could he still take it from them?
Even if you have this idea, you don't have the strength.

"This Taoist leader is unreasonable." Before Ke Zhen could speak, a voice sounded from behind him.

I saw a person walking towards this side quickly under the leadership of the government official.

This person is about fifty years old, dressed in brocade robes, and has an extraordinary imposing manner.

"Ah, Master Pu, why are you here?" Ke Zhen turned his head and asked in surprise.

While speaking, he glared at the guard behind Mr. Pu, why did he let him come over?

Did I tell him to wait in front of me?

The guard shrank his head, he couldn't stop this matter, it was really wronged.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Master Pu Huanying Pu of the Pu family. Now he is in charge of the affairs of the Pu family in Fuzhou." Ke Zhen hastily introduced each other, "Master Pu, this is Daoist Zhang..."

Hearing this person's name, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but think of Pu Huanyang in Lin'an Mansion, it seems that these two people are still of the same generation.

Raccoons of a feather, the people of the Pu clan are not good people, Zhang Junbao cursed secretly in his heart.

"So it's Daoist Zhang, be polite." Pu Huanying cupped his hands towards Zhang Junbao.

Zhang Junbao also cupped his hands and returned a salute: "Boss Pu just said that I'm unreasonable, what can I tell you?"

"My Pu family's house in the city was robbed last night. Thanks to the generous actions of the Taoist leaders of the Quanzhen Sect, otherwise the property inside would have been looted. I came here today mainly to express my gratitude. A generous gift has been given, of course, I hope that the things kept by the priests last night can be returned." Pu Huanying said.

His words sounded very respectful of what Zhang Junbao and the others meant, and he said thank you, and he was generous.

Its purpose is still for the engraving in Zhang Junbao's hand.

The implication is that if Zhang Junbao and the others don't return the engraving to him, how is it different from the people in the world who looted their property?

Zhang Junbao was not a fool, he wouldn't really think that the other party was here to thank him, and he seemed to have a mirror in his mind when Pu Huanying made any plans.

"You mean those engravings?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"Presumably, the priests have already memorized the content of the scriptures above, so leaving the engraving is not very meaningful." Pu Huanying nodded.

"Master Pu came a step late, those engravings are no longer there." Zhang Junbao said lightly.

"What? You're not here anymore? I don't know what Zhang Daochang meant by that?" Mr. Pu couldn't help being surprised.

Ke Zhen was also surprised at what was going on.

"Those engraving plates were burned and severely damaged, and there was no point in keeping them, so I burned them all." Zhang Junbao explained.

"Burn it? How can you burn it? That's~~ it's nonsense." Master Pu turned pale with anger.

"Daozhang Zhang, are you serious?" Ke Zhen asked.

"Yes, Daoist Zhang, you are not lying to me, are you?" Mr. Pu immediately came back to his senses. It is the engraving of Wanshou Dao Zang. So burnt?

He felt that Zhang Junbao didn't want to hand over the engraving plate, and wanted to use this method to deny it. Did he think he was so easy to fool?

"We have written down the content of the scriptures. The engraving blocks are basically beyond recognition. They are burned as soon as they are burned. Is there any difference? What's the problem?" Zhang Junbao responded coldly.

Ke Zhen smiled embarrassingly, and didn't answer any more.

Besides, I am a little ignorant.

Just now, when I said something, I was doing my part as a landlord. If I said more, it would not do me any good.

Regardless of whether Zhang Junbao really burned the engraving block or not, it's better not to participate in this matter.

Pu Huanying came just in time, if he wanted to return the engraving, he could only come forward.

Thinking of Pu's actions in Fuzhou in the past, Ke Zhen still feels very uncomfortable.

Due to Pu's power, even if it is his prefect's account, they don't buy much.

Now Zhang Junbao and his party are also not easy to mess with, he really wants to make Pu's people suffer a bit.

"Zhang Daochang, this kind of joke is not easy." Pu Huanying was basically sure that it was impossible for Zhang Junbao to burn the engraving block.

Even if he is young and vigorous, he may do such a thing, but he still knows that there are Yang Zhilian and Liang Zhiyong beside Zhang Junbao.

How could the two of them tolerate such absurd things to happen?

"How can I be in the mood to joke?" Zhang Junbao snorted coldly, "If there is nothing else, I still have to use my energy to adjust my breath. Last night, my energy was exhausted too much, and I haven't recovered yet. Mr. Ke, please .”

"Okay, okay, don't dare to disturb Daoist Zhang's peace." Ke Zhen said hurriedly, and then he turned his head to look at Pu Huanying and said, "Master Pu, why don't we go back first, let's talk about gold, silver and swords in detail, don't worry , everything is there."

Pu Huanying gave Ke Zhen a cold look, dissatisfied with Ke Zhen's attitude.

Do you care about the things he got?

What does he really want, doesn't he know?
How could he fail to see through Ke Zhen's small thoughts, didn't he just want to see his own jokes?

"Master Ke, what is there to talk about about gold, silver and swords? You can return as much as you take." Pu Huanying said.

These words froze the smile on Ke Zhen's face.

"Okay, it should be returned." Ke Zhen's smile disappeared, and his face darkened.

His heart is full of coldness.

Who does this guy think he is? He's just a servant in charge of Pu's subordinates. How dare he look at himself?
How can I say that he is a dignified magistrate, what kind of thing is he?
How much do you take?
Thinking of this, Ke Zhen felt even more dissatisfied.

Originally, he valued those swords very much. In his opinion, he should be able to get some money on them. If there is no 1 taels, seven to eight thousand taels is still no problem.

When he came back, he had already asked someone about it. They were all precious swords and swords, and they were of high quality.

Bring back dozens of weapons from the dark room, this is a lot of wealth.

Now Pu Huanying asked him to return all of it?

How can it be?

Can you spit out the meat that reaches your mouth?

If Pu Huanying had a better attitude and treated himself a little more respectfully, maybe he could pay him back half of it.

Now, don't even want a piece of it.

Of course, the sword still has to be returned, as to whether it is the original sword or not, it is not certain.

At that time, who would dare to say that the sword he returned was not brought back from the dark room?

Pu Huanying didn't have time to pay attention to Ke Zhen's thoughts, his main thoughts now were on Zhang Junbao, on the engraving of Wanshou Dao Zang.

Ever since he learned that the Quanzhen Sect had intervened and carved blocks from his own residence, his heart could not be calm.

Longevity Daozang, this is an incredible treasure.

Back then when Pu's purchased Huang Chang's old house, they also had this idea, but unfortunately they never found any clues.

Later, this thought also faded away.

Now that the engraving plate appeared, even if there was only a little bit left after being burned, he couldn't let these fall into the hands of others.

In the hands of Pu Shi, it will be a killer weapon at that time.

Of course, Pu Shi didn't mean that they wanted to learn some exercises from the Wanshou Taoist Canon. Even if there is a complete Wanshou Taoist Canon, it may not be successful, let alone some fragments.

It's not because of this that Pu's want to engrave the plate, but because he knows very well that there are still many forces who want to get Wanshou Daozang, and they are all big forces.

Although they are just some incomplete engravings, it is no problem to use them as a favor.

If he can get the favors owed by those big forces, it will be a big profit for Pu Shi.

As for whether they will offend the Quanzhen Sect, they don't care.

The Quanzhen Sect is in the north, and I am in the south. Basically, there will be little intersection in the future.

Besides, Pu Shi didn't want to ask Quanzhen to teach anything.

Moreover, the current situation of Quanzhen Sect is not good, even if Pu family wants to find a big force to join forces, it should be a flourishing Buddhist sect supported by the imperial court, not Quanzhen Sect that is declining.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to give up on the matter of engraving.

"Zhang Daochang, please return the engraving to our Pu family." Pu Huanying said, he made it straight.

"Did you not hear it or something? Didn't I make it very clear just now? The engraving plate is no longer there." Zhang Junbao said coldly.

"Zhang Daochang, even if there is no engraving, what about the scriptures?" Pu Huanying said in a deep voice, "My Pu family has the right to own those scriptures in the Wanshou Taoist Collection."

"I can't decide this." Zhang Junbao pouted.

"Daozhang Zhang, I know that you are the leader in everything here, why can't you be the master?" While speaking, Pu Huanying saw Yang Zhilian and Liang Zhiyong walking over.

Yang Zhilian and Liang Zhiyong are masters who have been famous for a long time, and they are also masters of Taoism.

Pu Huanying had never seen a real person before, but he had seen portraits anyway.

He is a child of the Pu family, so of course he needs to know about the masters of some big forces, and he is also well-informed.

Zhang Junbao is the disciple of Huolong Daoist, no matter how good Liang Zhi's martial arts are with the two of them, he knows that Zhang Junbao will make the final decision.

"For small matters, I can still decide." Zhang Junbao replied, "If it's a big matter, it won't be done."

"Is Daoist Liang and Daoist Yang in charge of such a big matter?" Pu Huanying asked, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"The matter is of great importance, and it must be reported to the elder brother in charge." Yang Zhilian replied aloud after hearing this.

Pu Huanying's face darkened, is this trying to delay?
Will the Quanzhen Sect still pay attention to me at that time?
"It is said that the Quanzhen Sect is the leader of the righteous way. Now I just want to get back what belongs to my Pu family. Why is it so difficult?" Pu Huanying asked.

"Wan Shou Dao Zang is related to the entire Taoist sect. This is not something that my Quanzhen sect can decide. At that time, we need to convene all Dao sects to discuss and determine the ownership of this scripture." Liang Zhiyong said, "Even if this engraving is from you It was dug out under the house, but this engraving belonged to Mr. Huang Shanghuang, there is no doubt about it."

Liang Zhiyong would not admit that the engraved scriptures belonged to Pu Shi, even if it seemed unreasonable to others, he still insisted.

Engraving will never yield to others, this is their bottom line.
