"Usuki fruit? What is that?"
Shan Daye asked me in confusion.
I explained it to him briefly.
After hearing what I said, Shan Daye looked at me earnestly and begged me.
"Master Yang, you must think of a way to save my wife. I can't lose her. I know it was my fault in the past. I didn't treat her well."
"Now I have figured it out. I must rescue my wife. I have no shortage of money. Master Yang, please tell me where the Wuxu fruit is and I will have someone look for it!"
I looked depressed and said in a deep voice, "Boss Shan, it's not that I won't tell you where the Wuxu fruit is, it's just that I don't know where the Wuxu fruit is."
After thinking for a while, I said, "Well, I'll call my friends and ask them, maybe they know."
"Okay, okay, Master Yang, thank you very much! Don't worry, I will pay you back when the matter is settled."
"Yeah!" I nodded.
Then I walked to the window, took out my cell phone and called Master Qi directly. But after the call was connected, Master Qi said that he had never heard of the black beard fruit, which made me a little confused.
After talking to Master Qi for a few words, I hung up the phone.
Master Chu was the second person I called.
There was a constant ringing of "ding ding bang bang" on his end, and I didn't know what he was doing. After the call was connected, he didn't know it was me, so he asked me who I was in a cold voice. I told him that I was Yang Tianyi, and Master Chu's attitude changed a little. He was a cold person when talking to people, and he liked to have a stern face.
But when I mentioned the black-bearded fruit, Master Chu and Master Qi had the same reaction. He didn't know what the black-bearded fruit was, let alone where to find it.
Helpless, I had to hang up the phone again.
After thinking about it, I called Sister Xilan.
When Sister Xilan heard that I was looking for the Wuxu fruit, she was also surprised. What made me happy was that she actually knew about the Wuxu fruit, but she only knew that the Wuxu fruit could replenish vitality. She didn't even know the classification of male and female Wuxu fruits, let alone where to find Wuxu fruits.
As for Fatty Li, I didn't call him.
Although Fatty Li is a nice person, he became a Taoist priest only one year earlier than me, so I don't think he could have known.
See me not
Shan Daye felt a little embarrassed to keep asking people to inquire about his wife's affairs, but he could not help at all just standing by.
He was still muttering, "Master Yang, don't worry, as long as I can get the black beard fruit, I'm willing to pay any amount of money..."
I smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Then I called Master Jiang, but the person who answered the phone was not Master Jiang, but a man with a vicissitudes of life in his voice.
"Hello, this is the Jiangbin City Crematorium, do you need anything?"
When I heard that it wasn't Master Jiang's voice, I quickly said, "No, no... I'll go find Master Jiang!"
"Looking for Master Jiang?"
The man muttered something, and finally, his voice turned cold and he said, "Well, then you wait!"
Soon, Master Jiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Shaoyun. What can I do for you?"
I smiled and said, "Master Jiang, it's me, Yang Tianyi!"
When Master Jiang heard that it was me, he didn't react much.
He asked me, "What's the matter? Brother Tianyi, is there anything you need my help with?"
I smiled and said, "You guessed it! Master Jiang, I do need your help with something. It's a very difficult matter."
After that, I told the zombies that someone on my side had his Yin essence sucked away by a ghost and needed Wuxu fruit.
But Master Jiang's reaction was surprisingly calm, which I thought was consistent with his taciturn personality.
Master Jiang was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Brother Tianyi, it's not that I won't help you. I do know where the Wuxu fruit is. But the old man who has the Wuxu fruit is very strange, and he is also a corpse breeder."
"I'm afraid that if I tell you, you won't find the Wuxu fruit and you'll lose your life."
"You know where to find the wuxu fruit, that's great!"
However, I was very surprised about the corpse-raiser mentioned by Master Jiang.
I know that corpse raisers keep the bodies of some dead people in dangerous places and raise them into zombies.
Zombies usually carry resentment and are extremely difficult to kill.
"There are still people who raise corpses in this world? This is the 21st century!"
I muttered something.
Master Jiang was silent.
He said, "It can't be helped. The old man's surname is Zhang, and everyone in the industry calls him Zhang the Lame. He likes to raise corpses. Although he has kept his name secret for so many years, there are many rumors about him in the industry."
Afterwards, Master Jiang briefly told me the story of Zhang the Cripple.
It is said that Zhang Quezi joined the Taoist profession when he was a teenager. Not long after joining, he did something that shocked the entire profession. He used a green-haired zombie that he raised to kill the enemy who had harmed his family.
It is said that the family knew that Zhang the Lame wanted revenge, and they invited several famous Taoist priests, but Zhang the Lame still succeeded and killed his enemy.
This incident became a hot topic among Taoist priests at that time, and made Zhang Cuzi famous.
However, Zhang Quezi later offended a Miao girl who raised Gu in Miaojiang and was beaten into a cripple, which forced him to hide his identity and live in seclusion in the mountains. It is also said that Zhang Quezi was punished by the underworld.
After listening to what Master Jiang told me about Zhang the Lame, I was shocked.
There are many records about ghost-catching Taoist priests in the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes, but there are very few records about Miao girls who raise Gu and people who raise corpses.
However, judging from the contents of the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes, those who recorded them still looked down on the corpse-raisers, the Miao wizards, and the Miao women.
Jiang Jiuzhen called those methods of raising corpses and raising poisonous insects "small tricks". Small tricks mean that they are not worthy of being shown on the stage.
“Is it that amazing?”
I couldn't help but exclaim.
Master Jiang said, "Of course. I advise you not to go looking for Wuxu Fruit. If you really offend that Cripple Zhang, your skills may not be enough. Even if you have a master behind you, I am afraid you can't suppress that Cripple Zhang."
"That person's personality is very strange. You should just focus on catching your little ghosts and practice!"
I knew that Master Jiang’s words did not mean he looked down on me, but that he was afraid that something might happen to me.
But I have a stubborn character. If others say something cannot be accomplished, I will try it. Besides, it is not a question of whether to offend Zhang the Cripple or not. I urgently need the Wuxu Fruit to save people.
Seeing that I was silent on the phone, Master Jiang asked, "What's the matter, Brother Tianyi, do you have any plans? If it really doesn't work, think of other ways. It's best not to provoke that Cripple Zhang!"
I thought about it, gritted my teeth and said to Master Jiang: "Master Jiang, I have decided, I want to go find that Cripple Zhang... ... How about this, you tell me where Cripple Zhang lives first, and I will leave as soon as possible."
"Ah! You are really stubborn. But, your stubbornness is also for the sake of saving people, which is good."
Afterwards, Master Jiang told me where that Lame Zhang lived.
He also repeatedly told me, "Don't say too much when you see that lame Zhang. Just tell him your request. If he agrees to your request, that's fine. If not, leave."
I agreed repeatedly on the phone.
I think Master Jiang is really nice to me, and he treats me like a senior. Although he has a dull personality, he is a very nice person.
Just before Master Jiang was about to hang up the phone, I noticed that Yan Huanhuan's vital signs were weakening.
Although Yan Huanhuan was in a coma at this time, her breath was weak. If we didn't find a way to temporarily control her loss of vitality, she would probably die before the Wuxu Fruit was found.
I hurriedly said to Master Jiang, "Master Jiang, don't hang up yet. The woman here is almost out of energy. Do you have any way to temporarily control the loss of her vitality? Otherwise, even if I get the Wuxu Fruit, I'm afraid it will be useless."
Master Jiang hesitated for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Well, you seem to be a little careless, and I'm not slow at the moment, so I'll go with you personally... As for the matter of that woman, we'll talk about it when I get there."
"I have a way to temporarily delay her life."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I, Jiang Shaoyun, always keep my word! Okay, tell me the address and I'll rush over right away."
"Okay, okay, it would be great if you could come!"
After that, I told Master Jiang the address of Shan Daye’s villa.
We hung up the phone soon after.
Come to think of it, I'm really a little unsure right now.
Although I carry the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes
However, many things still require practice. It doesn’t mean that I can become a Taoist priest just by having a notebook.
"How is it? Master Yang, have you got any news about the black-bearded fruit?"
Shan Daye asked me anxiously.
I nodded and said, "That's about right!"
After hearing what I said, Shan Daye showed a happy expression on his face. He told me that he was going to get the blackberry.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Wuxu fruit has been found, it may not be easy to get it."
Then, I told Shan Daye everything that Master Jiang told me.
When Shan Daye heard what I said, his face immediately became serious.
I smiled and said, "Boss Shan, don't worry. Since I, Yang Tianyi, have promised you something, I will do my best to get it done. You should ask your bodyguard to pick up Master Jiang outside the villa. After all, he came because of my face, so you can't neglect him!"
"That's right, that's right... I'll go right away!"
Then Shan Daye walked out of the bedroom quickly.
After taking a look at the sick Yan Huanhuan, I also walked out of the bedroom.
Shan Daye went to greet Master Jiang with a bodyguard.
When I walked out of the bedroom, I found a bodyguard standing at the door.
I asked him if he knew where the utility room of the villa was
The bodyguard said nothing, just nodded.
Then, he walked in front and I followed behind, and he took me to the utility room of the villa.
I remember very clearly that Shan Daye told me that he found his wife Yan Huanhuan worshiping some ghost fairy in the utility room.
I had seen Yan Huanhuan holding a clay Buddha in the ghost market before, and I thought there was something strange about that clay Buddha. Now I want to see what is so strange about that clay Buddha.
But when I arrived at the door of the utility room, I found that the door was open.
"You just guard the door first!"
I whispered something to the bodyguard.
He said nothing and stood by the door with his hands behind his back.
I pushed the door open and went straight into the utility room.
After entering the utility room, I was surprised to find that in addition to some daily cleaning utensils and unwanted furniture, there was actually an altar table, on which were scattered many clay sculpture fragments.
