Chapter 34 Which living Buddha is as bad as me?
"No matter how unworthy I am, I won't steal someone else's name. I'd better think of another way."
Huang Rong let out a sullen breath: "This village is too stable now. More than half a month has passed and nothing has happened."
"Copycats are the fundamentals, and stability is the most important."
Lin Xuan was a little helpless: "It's Chinese New Year, why are you still expecting something to happen?"
"The first boss and the second boss are not good!"
At this moment, a minion ran over in a panic and shouted loudly.
"What's going on?"
Lin Xuan frowned slightly: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"Yes! The boss, there was a passerby who refused to pay and even scolded us."
The minion took a few deep breaths and said, "The Third Master was furious, and he was afraid of beating him to death with one punch, so... he scolded him too."
"..."
Huang Rong was silent for a few seconds, looking a little unkind: "Are you sick? Do you want to report such a trivial matter to us?"
"Collecting tolls is mainly for merchants. If the poor old man can't pay, forget it."
Lin Xuan waved his hand: "If you're celebrating the New Year, just let others pass."
If he were a poor scholar, Lin Xuan might stay and take a look.
If he has some skills, arrange for him to learn illiteracy to slightly improve the bandit's personal quality.
But Lin Xuan, a poor old man, has no interest.
If you stay, you have to take care of the food.
Just in case there are three long and two short...
It will only affect the reputation of the cottage, so it will only cost some funeral expenses.
The key is quite unlucky!
Just looking for trouble.
"No, it's not just that."
"The third boss scolded the old man a few times, and even took out a small amount of money to tell the old man to get out."
The gangster said angrily: "But that old Taoist has no martial ethics, and he continued to curse people after receiving the money."
"...Is the old Taoist so brave?"
Huang Rong was a little confused: "Master Lu has such a good temper this time, and he didn't even beat anyone? Why did the old Taoist scold him?"
The man thought for a while and said, "The old Taoist said that the Third Master is a living Buddha. He could have enjoyed peace and righteousness in the future, but now he is a bandit. It is simply stupid."
"Is there such a thing?"
Lin Xuan's thoughts moved slightly: "Then what?"
"The third master said that he has never practiced good deeds in his life, and only likes to kill people and set fires. Which living Buddha is like this?"
"After that, the third master told the old Taoist priest to get lost."
"The old Taoist priest refused to go away and said a lot of nonsense again."
"The third boss seemed to be angry at the back, so he punched the old man."
"In the end, for some reason, the third master punched me, and the old Taoist priest appeared ten feet away, laughing to himself."
"The third master was furious and said, 'It's the Lian family who came to play tricks on the Sa family.' Then they started fighting with the old Taoist on the mountain road."
The minion said a series of things, and finally got back to the topic: "The younger one saw that something was wrong, so he came up to report to the first and second masters."
"Who's winning?"
Lin Xuan asked the most critical question.
"This... I can't explain clearly, the scene is a bit weird."
The man thought for a moment: "When I came over, it should be... the third boss should have the upper hand."
"I probably understand, you go down first."
Lin Xuan waved his hand: "As long as you know about this, don't tell others."
"Young man, take your orders!"
The guy clasped his fists and hurried out to deliver the order.
"It is indeed quite capable to fight Master Lu in a difficult situation. No wonder he doesn't want to pay the toll."
The corner of Huang Rong's mouth curled up slightly: "It seems that we can still solve some problems on the mountain."
"Maybe it's more than just some ability..."
Lin Xuan sighed: "You have such a crow's mouth, say less in the future."
"You can't blame me."
Huang Rong stuck out her tongue: "Looking at your posture, do you know who the old Taoist is?"
"You'll know when you go down and take a look. There's no need to guess."
Lin Xuan pulled off the robe hanging on the side, put it on his body, opened the courtyard door and walked out.
"All right……"
***
When the two of them reached the mountainside, they found twenty minions surrounding the mountain path.
In the crowd, Lu Zhishen screamed strangely and raised his giant fist, hitting an old Taoist repeatedly.
The old Taoist has blue eyes with square pupils, a long beard and wide cheeks. He is wearing a crane cloak and his expression is as calm as water. He does look like a fairy.
Faced with a punch that could kill a buffalo, the old Taoist remained calm and did not fight back.
Whenever Lu Zhishen's fist was about to hit him, the old man would take a step forward unhurriedly.
The next moment, the old Taoist body suddenly appeared a few meters away, easily avoiding Lu Zhishen's heavy punch.
It's like the legendary shrinking of the ground into an inch.
"The first boss, the second boss!"
"The boss is here!"
Seeing Lin Xuan and Huang Rong walking side by side, the bandits were overjoyed and started shouting.
Although Lu Zhishen was extremely brave, he made the bandits fearful and intimidated.
But it only took Lin Xuan more than half a month to transform the cottage.
It has truly improved everyone’s treatment issues.
In the bandits' hearts, Lin Xuan is the real backbone.
Just like a foster father!
"Are you the leader of Qingfeng Mountain's stronghold, the same Lin Xuan who hunted tigers in Jingyanggang a while ago?"
While dodging Lu Zhishen's fist, the old Taoist took a moment to look at Lin Xuan and said with a smile.
"It's Ba Dao Lin Xuan."
Lin Xuan pointed at Huang Rong standing beside him: "This is the second in command, Huang Long, the Jade-faced Flying Dragon."
"...Okay, your nicknames do sound impressive, but I'm not used to calling you that."
The old Taoist seemed to be stunned for a moment, his steps slowed down significantly, and he was almost hit by Lu Zhishen's punch.
"Forget it, the Taoist priest doesn't seem to be a man of the underworld, so you can call me 'Big Boss'."
Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged: "What's your name, Taoist priest?"
"It's not difficult to hear my name, but this monk has been chasing me. I'm afraid it's not the way of hospitality in Guishan?"
"The Taoist priest is deliberately teasing me to get me to show up. I'm afraid he doesn't have much sincerity, right?"
"Big Boss Lin is joking."
The old Taoist priest laughed: "If I don't have sincerity, this living Buddha who loves meat and drinks has not yet opened his spiritual wisdom. How can he hold on until now?"
"Nonsense, I said it's not that living Buddha or dead Buddha!"
Lu Zhishen's eyes widened with anger: "Don't run, you old bastard, take my punch and see!"
Amid the roar, Lu Zhishen's two casserole-sized fists swung out quickly, turning into a series of afterimages.
The explosive fist force brought a huge explosion.
It seemed that the air around was completely blown up by Lu Zhishen.
"Hmm? This guy should just be a star, not the reincarnation of Vajra Arhat?"
Feeling the powerful wind pressure around him, the old Taoist stared slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Although he was knowledgeable and well-versed in Taoism.
But he didn't expect that the bald monk who drank and ate meat in front of him could actually punch so fiercely.
It almost exceeded his understanding of a crude warrior.
It was outrageous!
