Pang Feiyun was just a spoiled disciple of a big sect. He was not worth Zhou Bao's trouble. Teaching him a lesson and throwing him out was equivalent to showing his attitude to the School of Five Virtues. What happened next would have nothing to do with him.
"Now it's time to care about Qianyuan Mountain. Master of Golden Lights Cave, am I, Zhou Bao, such an easy target? Qianyuan Mountain, Golden Lights Cave. Humph, it's really well-known. I'd like to see what's so special about your Golden Lights Cave! "
After sneering, Zhou Bao's figure flashed, rolled up a breeze, and disappeared from the house.
Qianyuan Mountain was called a mountain, but in fact, it was just a peak on the edge of a mountain range. This mountain range existed in the inner part of the Jin, within Pingzhou. It was not big, and was called Cui Ridge. Therefore, Qianyuan Mountain was also within Pingzhou. This place was originally very desolate. Although it was within Pingzhou, it was located at the junction of four provinces. It was an ungoverned area, with bandits running rampant and the people living in poverty. However, ever since the Master of Golden Lights Cave established his sect, the situation had changed. The Master of Golden Lights Cave was originally one of the few experts in the world. The advantage of bandits in numbers was simply a joke. In addition, he was originally a sword practitioner. A sword practitioner was most focused on killing, and he would not be lenient in his attacks. Therefore, in just a few days, the bandits within a radius of a hundred miles around Qianyuan Mountain were all wiped out by him. The bandits' original stronghold was also occupied by him, and became the location of his new sect.
It was precisely because of the presence of a powerful person like him that in just a few years, the junction of the four provinces began to prosper. Commercial roads were established, and people gathered. It was somewhat similar to the changes in Zhou Bao's Wuyang Region in the past few years. It was just that compared to Wuyang Region, the scope was smaller.
The Master of Golden Lights Cave was also on good terms with the Mingyi School. They had a cooperative relationship with the Mingyi School. Therefore, he still had a lot of power in the government. Although he did not have a title like Zhou Bao, the local government also took great care of the Golden Lights Cave. They even set up a new county here, named Lingdong County, which meant east of Cui Ridge. Imperial court officials were stationed there to manage government affairs. With the Master of Golden Lights Cave, the junction of the four provinces, which was originally the least safe, became the most safe. Even the most picky guy could not find any problems.
After decades of operation, Lingdong County had become one of the largest counties in Pingzhou. The business was prosperous, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a paradise on earth.
Everyone knew that the reason why they could live such a good life and have such a good environment was due to someone's blessings. In Lingdong County, the prestige of the Master of Golden Lights Cave was incomparable. Even the Emperor of Jin could not obtain the respect that the Master of Golden Lights Cave had. In this Lingdong County, every family worshipped the longevity tablet of the Master of Golden Lights Cave. They prayed to Heaven that the Master of Golden Lights Cave could live to a hundred years old. These prayers came from the heart. Ordinary people could see it, but in the eyes of experts whose cultivation had reached a certain level, they could barely see the faint golden light hovering over the sky of Lingdong County. It was like a fog, slowly descending toward the peak of the Golden Lights Cave.
"This Master of Golden Lights Cave is really not simple. He can actually gather the Power of Will of so many people. Could it be that he is not a sword practitioner, but a powerful person of Buddhism?"
The Power of Will of All Living Beings was a very magical thing. However, in this world, only the people of Buddhism could really use this magical power and play with it in different ways.
At this time, Zhou Bao was wearing an ordinary but very clean cyan gown and a cyan cloth on his head. He looked like an ordinary young scholar, without any outstanding features.
Walking on the bustling West Street of Lingdong County, looking at the busy and substantial crowds around him, Zhou Bao's heart suddenly surged with a sense of guilt that made him slightly excited.
Although he did not like the Master of Golden Lights Cave, he had to admit that it was because of the Master of Golden Lights Cave that the people of Lingdong County could live a good life. Now, he was about to destroy all of this. It was really a great thing to do.
The West Street was the commercial street of Lingdong County. Basically, all kinds of shops were concentrated here. All of these contributed to the prosperity here, but at the same time, it also contributed to the chaos here.
Yes, chaos. One could tell just by listening to the sounds around him.
"Selling eggs, selling eggs, three for one copper coin, three for one copper coin!" “
"Steamed buns, steaming hot steamed buns! One copper coin for two, one copper coin for two! “
"Fish for sale! Freshly caught fish, ten copper coins for three, ten copper coins for three —! “
… …
… …
Similar shouts could be heard everywhere. The West Street was like a bustling market, similar to an open-air market in the past. It was extremely chaotic.
"Only in this kind of place can I understand the benefits of being a city enforcement officer!"
Stepping into a puddle of dirty water, Zhou Bao raised his foot with a bitter smile and began to walk on the street attentively. Of course, this also strengthened his determination to build a qualified city enforcement team in Wuyang Region. In terms of combat effectiveness, he could not hope to match those professional city enforcement officers in his previous life, but at least they had to be able to control the situation.
After passing through the first part of the road, the situation gradually changed. The West Street was divided into three parts. The first part was the chaotic market that Zhou Bao had just passed through. When he walked to the middle part, there was a crossroads. Several restaurants appeared at the crossroads, with huge signboards fluttering in the wind. The strong aroma of food rushed into his nose. Suddenly, Zhou Bao felt a little hungry.
His eyes turned slightly, and Zhou Bao chose the restaurant with the strongest aroma of food. He slowly walked over.
"Sir, please come in!" Everything was as he had imagined. The waiter stood outside the door, bowing and bowing, with a white towel hanging on his shoulder, and a flattering smile.
"It feels really good, just like the first time I went shopping in Qingyang Town!"
This feeling made Zhou Bao very comfortable. He followed behind the waiter and entered the restaurant called Yunkelai. He sat at a clean and empty table on the first floor. The waiter politely wiped the table with the white towel hanging on his shoulder and poured tea for him. "Sir, what would you like to order?"
"Give me three of your best dishes and a pot of good wine!" Zhou Bao ordered in a low voice.
"Okay!" The waiter beamed with joy. Although he was not old, he had been a waiter for five or six years. His eyes were very sharp. Although the teal-robed scholar in front of him was not dressed well, he was definitely not someone who lacked money. Of course, it was also possible that he was a freeloader, but a freeloader would not be so confident.
The dishes and wine were quickly served. Zhou Bao sat there and ate slowly. He listened to the chatter of the diners in the restaurant. Although the content of their conversation was nothing more than trivial things happening in Lingdong County, it was enough to relieve his fatigue.
"I heard that the Golden Lights Cave is going to reopen and accept disciples again. I wonder if it's true!"
A slightly suppressed voice came into Zhou Bao's ears, which aroused his interest.
"Of course it's true. This is what my cousin said. He is an Inner Core disciple of the Golden Lights Cave. He has a say in front of the Seneschal. He told me himself!"
"But didn't they accept a disciple last year? The Golden Lights Cave accepts disciples once every three years. This is a rule and it has never been broken. Why are they making an exception today? "
"Alas, you don't know. I heard that the Patriarch's strength has broken through again. He has become an Immortal and has become an Immortal. The Golden Lights Cave has also become an Immortal School. Recently, the Golden Lights Cave has been purchasing materials on a large scale. It seems that they want to strengthen the formation around Qianyuan Mountain. Soon, the Golden Lights Cave will become a powerful school like the Tian Long Taoism and the Mingyi School!"
"Really? If that's the case, it's really great. We will have a better life under the protection of the Golden Lights Cave. Haha, the Patriarch has become an Immortal and we can also benefit from it. That's great, that's really great!"
"Crack!" “
There was a soft sound, like the sound of a dish breaking.
Although it was very noisy in the restaurant, this sound was particularly harsh and hard to understand.
The restaurant suddenly quieted down and everyone turned to look at the place where the sound came from. It was Zhou Bao who had crushed the wine glass in his hand. When he heard that the disciples of the Golden Lights Cave were purchasing materials on a large scale to strengthen the formation, he was very unhappy. He was afraid that they were purchasing materials not to strengthen the formation, but to set up the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.
Did the Master of Golden Lights Cave really think that he, Zhou Bao, was a pushover? Did he think that he would hand over the Yin and Yang Dust Formation to him just because of a few words from the Divine Wind Palace?
He tightened his grip and crushed the glass. He did not expect that it would attract the attention of the people in the restaurant.
With a smile, Zhou Bao threw a glass of gold ingot on the table. "Waiter, the bill. Keep the change!"
He came here to cause trouble for the Master of Golden Lights Cave, not to be a monkey for others to see.
Seeing the gold ingot and hearing Zhou Bao say "keep the change", the waiter smiled so widely that his eyes narrowed into slits. He quickly took the gold ingot and thanked Zhou Bao profusely.
Zhou Bao just smiled and was about to leave.
"Wait!" The voice echoed in his ears, but Zhou Bao acted as if he did not hear it and walked out of the restaurant.
"I told you to stop!"
The owner of the voice obviously did not expect Zhou Bao to walk out of the restaurant without stopping. He felt that he had been disgraced. Without thinking, he jumped down from the building and tried to grab Zhou Bao's back.
The other party was just a Little Master of Martial Arts whose cultivation had just reached Level Five. He did not even try to dodge. Just when the hand was about to grab his back, he leaned forward slightly, causing the man to grab nothing but air. He felt that something was wrong when his move failed. But before he could retaliate, he felt a heavy pressure on his forehead, making him unable to move.
