"Master Mo, why did Master end up in jail this time? Was it because he solicited prostitution but didn't pay, or did he try to scam someone on the street and claim that the other person knocked him down, or was he secretly selling "Big and Small Ruyi (Partial Edition)" again?"
The master said he was wronged, but Yunzhi was skeptical.
Having lived with her master for nearly a thousand years, Yunzhi knew when her master's words could be trusted and when they could not be trusted.
"Senior Sister, when will you believe what Master says?" Lu Yang asked curiously.
"When the master is not speaking."
"Then when can we not trust Master's words?"
"When the Master speaks."
Lu Yang: “…”
When the Minister of Justice heard this, he slapped his thigh excitedly. Yunzhi's words immediately enlightened him.
It’s not just that the other person has a high level of cultivation, but his ability to summarize is something he can’t match.
If you just don't believe the old thief's lies, then nothing will happen, right
If he had heard this summary earlier, he wouldn't be sitting in the same cell with the old thief Buyu now.
Lord Mo shook his head, "Neither. According to our investigation, Taoist Buyu has been in Dayan County for more than ten days. During these ten days, he has been well behaved. During the day, he goes to the teahouse to tell stories about "The Legend of the Taoist Sect". Every time, the teahouse is packed with people. He ends with the sentence "Please listen to the next chapter", which attracts countless people to cry out in sorrow. At night, he thinks about how to write the rest of "The Legend of the Taoist Sect" tomorrow. He has a very comfortable life."
Lu Yang was stunned after hearing this. Master, so you wrote all the books on the spot
Lu Yang thought that his ability to make up stories was not inferior to Meng Jingzhou's, but he could not do what Buyu Taoist did, who could make up stories the night before and tell them the next day.
"So it was you who wrote the "Legend of the Taoist Sect"!" Lord Xu looked at the Taoist Bu Yu in surprise.
"The Legend of Daoist Sect" was so widely circulated that even the teahouses in the imperial city were telling stories about it. He had gone to the teahouses to listen to it when he was bored.
What he heard was the story of the time when the Nine Sons of the Taoist Sect were present, which contained a lot of descriptions that glorified the Taoist Master Bu Yu. He was very displeased after hearing this and stopped listening.
Other officials in the capital were the same. They listened with interest, but after listening, they found that it was completely inconsistent with their understanding, so they stopped listening.
However, the common people listened with great interest. Although the story of Taoist Buyu was exaggerated to the point of being fictional, it was, after all, the story of a cultivator, and the story of a top sect.
The various deeds of the immortal cultivators and the colorful stories described in it are fascinating and very attractive.
"Do you have any shame? Is there any connection between you in the story and you in real life except for the name?" Lord Xu glanced at the silent Taoist with a look of disgust.
"This is called appropriate beautification." The Taoist said this without any shame.
Lord Mo continued, "Just three days ago, the monthly immortal cultivator market opened. Taoist Buyu set up a small stall in the corner of the immortal cultivator market, selling a technique to increase movement speed. He claimed that the 'Ancestor of the Thieves', who was famous for his speed, practiced this technique."
"After people found out they were cheated, they challenged him to a debate and asked him to pay compensation. He denied it and insisted that his method was genuine."
"After arguing to no avail, people came to report the case. After reviewing the case, I found that the exercises were fake and decided to detain them for ten days."
Immortal Fairy heard a word she had never heard of before, and knocked on Lu Yang's spiritual space, seeking help: "Lu Yang, who is the ancestor of the thieves?"
As the Immortal Fairy's golden finger, Lu Yang really answered every question. He explained to the Immortal Fairy: "I know a general idea about the ancestor of the Thief Sect. Fairy should know that there are more than 3,000 unorthodox ways, and one of them is the Thief Sect."
The Immortal Fairy nodded and motioned for Lu Yang to continue.
"There is a peerless thief in the Thief Sect. His speed is so fast that no one before him could reach a height. His speed is unmatched in the world. Because of his existence, the Thief Sect before him and the Thief Sect after him are completely different concepts. The people in the Thief Sect respectfully call him the ancestor of the Thief Sect, and the world generally calls him the Thief Ancestor."
"The thief was so fast that he could come and go freely even in the imperial palace. He stole a lot of spiritual stones and magic weapons. The most exaggerated one was that he stole the gate of the imperial palace. The court was furious, but they could do nothing about the thief."
"What happened to the thief ancestor?" The Immortal Fairy was excited when she heard this. She had never fought with a cultivator who was good at speed. If she could meet him, she would definitely compete with him.
Lu Yang shook his head. "This is a mystery. No one knows what happened to Dao Zu in the end. Some say he passed away in meditation, some say he was tired of the disputes in the world and lived in seclusion, and some say he failed in his attempt to become an immortal and died."
Speaking of the thief ancestor, Lu Yang couldn't help but think of another person, the second speedster after the thief ancestor—the thief king.
The Thief King's speed reached the level of being able to travel around the world anywhere, so he went against the ancestral precepts of the Thieves and stole things from the Gold Money Chamber of Commerce. Since then, he has been out of touch and disappeared.
In reality, Taoist Buyu still insisted that he was wronged, and said with confidence: "Really, if you practice the skills I sell, you can definitely be as fast as Dao Zu and be the fastest in the world!"
Yunzhi was silent for a moment, as if she remembered something, and asked, "Master Mo, can I take a look at the skills that Master is selling?"
"Of course you can." Mo Danxin called his men and asked him to go to the yamen to retrieve the seized evidence.
Not long after, the subordinate came breathlessly bringing over a book. The book was very thin and very old, without even a title or the author's name. It looked like a book of cultivation techniques that had been stolen from a grave and brought back to light.
It is no wonder that some practitioners were deceived and bought this book, which looks really bluffing.
Lord Mo added: "Taoist Buyu sold a total of ten martial arts manuals. The contents of the ten manuals were the same and all of them were confiscated. This is one of them."
Yunzhi turned to the first page, and Lu Yang also stretched his head to look over curiously.
On the first page of the ancient book it was written: If you want to practice this skill, you must break one leg first.
Taoist Bu Yu spread his hands and said, "Look what I said. I am definitely not lying. If you practice this technique, I guarantee that you will be as unrivaled as the thief ancestor and be the best in the world!"
Lu Yang: “…”
Master Mo, you, Master Guan, have not been wronged at all!
You're still complaining about this? A year or two in prison is not too much!
Lu Yang probably understood why his master was the strongest person below the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
If his cultivation was a little weaker, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Yunzhi looked a little strange: "Dao Zu really only has one leg, so he claims that his speed is unrivaled in the world, and no one has ever refuted it."
"Indeed, I have heard about this matter too." The Minister of Justice nodded.
There was one more thing Yunzhi didn't say. She flipped through the book of exercises and after a little deduction, she found that practicing this method seemed to really allow one's speed to reach the fastest level among people of the same level.
So this is really the technique that Dao Zu practiced
