Chapter 58: The Mysterious Old Swindler Flying Kite Net

  The old man had already lifted Zhang Jun's right hand, he only took a glance and let out an "ah" sound, saying: "Young friend, your palm lines are rarely seen in the world, in the future you will have the opportunity to become a Buddha and be revered as an ancestor, this is no small thing!"

  If he had said this a few days ago, Zhang Jun would have absolutely not believed it, but now that he knew he possessed the Buddha's left eye, upon hearing this his heart skipped a beat and he asked: "Old man, can you see clearly now or still not?"

  The old man sighed and said: "You are a ruthless person who has become a Buddha and an ancestor, the old man naturally can't see clearly, can only see roughly, so you have to give me 500 yuan."

  Zhang Jun was shocked for a moment, and then he sneered: "Hehe, just because of this sentence, I have to give you 500 yuan?"

  The old man finally lifted his face. In Zhang Jun's eyes, this face was truly pitiful. A dried-up orange peel-like face, triangular eyes, wind-swept ears, and only three or five yellowed molars left in his mouth. Paired with that oil-stained blue robe, and a messy bun held up by chopsticks, he looked like an old madman from ancient times' poor district.

  The old cheat rolled his eyes: "I said it clearly, count incorrectly five hundred yuan, you also agreed, how, want to welch on the deal?"

  Zhang Jun deliberately patted his body and took out a total of 183 yuan, putting it all on the table, saying: "That's all I have."

  The old man quickly gathered the money into his sleeve and sighed, "Nowadays people are getting more and more unscrupulous, even owing me, a five-guarantee elderly person, money. It's too shameless."

  Zhang Jun was so angry that he couldn't move and said: "Old man, who are you talking about?"

  "Who owes me money says who." The old swindler turned his head away, saying with a face full of disdain.

  If it weren't for the other's decrepit appearance, Zhang Jun really wanted to go up and give this old fellow a beating. He took another look at the old cheat, shook his head, and quickly returned to the hotel.

  Arriving at the hotel, Hua Buqi asked: "What did that old Taoist say?"

  Zhang Jun's face was gloomy, and he said, "That old man said I'm the material for 'becoming a Buddha and making an ancestor', what a joke."

  Hua Buqi didn't smile; he pondered for a moment before saying, "I always feel that he resembles someone."

  Zhang Jun was shocked, but whoever could make Huabu recognize him must be an extraordinary person, so he asked: "Master, who is it?"

  Hua Bu Yi said: "In the year when Taizu entered Beijing, he met an old Taoist on Mount Wutai and asked him to calculate a divination. The old Taoist gave Taizu a number, 8341. Later, Taizu died at the age of eighty-three and reigned for forty-one years."

  "Master said it's an old way, won't be the old cheat under the bridge?" He was incredulous, his mouth agape.

  "The Old Daoist claimed to be a mad Daoist, and as his master at the age of three, he had met with your great-grandmaster Yang Ling once. It was just that at that time, he was still young, and his memory had become vague, but it should have been like this." Huabu Yi said a shocking and astonishing sentence.

  "But Master, you were three years old back then, which was thirty or forty years ago. And besides, it's been at least sixty or seventy years since Taizu entered the capital, so how is he still not dead?"

  Hua Buqi laughed and said, "After embracing Dan, living a hundred years is nothing unusual."

  Zhang Jun couldn't help but take another look at the old lunatic, but this glance made him immediately dismiss the idea that the other was a superior person. Because at this moment, the old swindler was being chased by the city management and running away with his head in his hands, without any of the demeanor of a superior recluse.

  He let out a wry smile and said, "Master, it seems you've misjudged this time."

  Hua Buqi smiled and said nothing more.

  At this time, Song Shiping walked over from a distance and sat opposite Zhang Jun, smiling: "Young brother, we meet again."

  Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."

  Song Shi Ping glanced at Hua Bu Yi, his eyes suddenly narrowing, his expression becoming solemn, and he said: "Young brother, is this person your friend?"

  "My master." Zhang Jun said.

  Song Shi Ping nodded slightly towards Hua Bu Yi, not saying anything, and turned to ask Zhang Jun: "Little brother is indeed extraordinary, able to have such a great master as his teacher, his future prospects are boundless." Then he asked again, "Earlier, little brother went to get his fortune told, was there any result?"

  Zhang Jun naturally didn't tell him the truth, and chuckled: "The old liar said I can marry eight wives in this lifetime."

  Song Shi Ping also smiled and said: "Little brother, if you stay in Kyoto for a long time, I'll invite you to drink tea another day."

  "You're welcome," said Zhang Jun.

  Song Shi Ping finished speaking and left the hotel, walking in the direction that Lao Pianzi had escaped.

  Zhang Jun furrowed his brow, an unremarkable old swindler, how could he have caught the attention of the National Security Bureau?

  At this moment, a young man walked into the hotel, his eyes without focus, coldly staring straight ahead. As soon as he entered the hotel, he accurately walked towards Hua Bu's direction.

  Hua Buqi stood up, his face surprisingly serious, and said: "Situ brother, it's been ten years since we last met, your swordsmanship is even more unfathomable."

  This young man was none other than Si Tu Xing. As soon as he entered the hotel, Zhang Jun felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his feet unconsciously took up the stance of the True Wu Mother Fist, causing his vital energy to suddenly converge.

  Young man said: "Hua brother, didn't expect you could break through this level, congratulations."

  "Sit." Huabu Yi said.

  Situ Xing sat down, he never looked at Zhang Jun once, only talking to Hua Bu Yi.

  "Situ brother, now that you're in mainland China, are you looking for that person?" Huabu Yi asked, her brow slightly furrowed.

  Situ Xing sat there, like a sharp sword that had suddenly appeared in the sky, his back straight as a pen, and said lightly: "I have been cultivating for fifteen years, just to fight him once."

  Hua Buqi sighed: "Your paths are different, why must you necessarily distinguish between victory and defeat."

  Situ Xing gazed straight at Hua Buqi: "Hua brother, now that your Dao of the Elixir is complete, haven't you ever thought of having a battle with him?"

  Hua Buqi's expression was calm and composed as he said, "He has already gained the upper hand, it would be difficult to kill him. Back then, he couldn't kill you, today no one can kill him."

  "Not necessarily." Situ Xing said calmly, "I have abandoned my sword."

  Hua Buqi was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he slowly nodded and said, "Good, good, very good."

  He said three goods in a row and then said: "You've practiced your sword to nothing, I'm not worried about your safety anymore. Even if he has divine power, it's hard to kill you."

  "Situ Xingdao said: 'Hua brother found me, what instructions?'"

  Hua Buqi took out the double-peaked treasured sword, and smiled wistfully: "I had originally wanted to exchange this sword with you for a 'Celestial Flying Sword' technique, but now you've abandoned your sword."

  Situ Xing's gaze finally fell on Zhang Jun.

  What a gaze, the pupils seemed like two bottomless black holes that could absorb all light and life. In the depths of those black holes, there seemed to be two extraordinary swords hidden, ready to emerge at any time to reap lives.

  Zhang Jun shivered and respectfully said: "I've seen you, senior!"

  Situ Xing averted his gaze, shaking his head and saying: "Only you can do such a thing in this world. You've brought over Lu Yunxiang, Yu Xuanguan's master, and Liu Zhenru, three of the most exceptional masters to teach him. Aren't you afraid of being too greedy and ending up with indigestion?"

  Hua Buqi smiled and said: "How much he can learn depends on his fate, I just lead him to the door, how far he can go still relies on himself."

  He fell silent for a moment, then said: "I can teach him swordsmanship, but you have to agree to one condition."

  Hua Buqi said: "Speak."

  "There are few sword immortals in this world. Within three years, help me find a disciple with good qualifications." said Situ Xingdao.

  Hua Buqi looked embarrassed, but after a moment's thought, he said, "Alright."

  "Alright, let him come alone to Baidong Temple in two days," said Situ Xing with a smile. After finishing speaking, he stood up and left.

  As soon as he left, Zhang Jun rubbed his nose and said, "Master, I've troubled you again. It's not easy to find an apprentice, is it?"

  Hua Buqi snorted and said, "It took Master twenty years to find you, this foolish goods. You say it's easy or not?"

  Zhang Jun swallowed his tongue and didn't dare to refute, but in his heart he was secretly pleased, thinking that if it took twenty years to find himself, didn't that just prove that his talent was exceptional?

  That afternoon, Hua Bu Yi was going to treat a big shot, while Zhang Jun wandered around the capital alone. To be honest, he had never been to Kyoto before. It wasn't as good as he imagined, the traffic was inconvenient and the air was not clean, he would rather stay in Qinghe County than stay here.

  In the afternoon, a person ate something and saw an advertisement on the table that said there was a large-scale car exhibition nearby. There were many discounts at the auto show, he thought about it and decided to take a look.

  When Zhang Jun was eighteen years old, he got his driver's license during the summer vacation, but unfortunately, he rarely drove a car and now his skills are rusty. Thinking about it, it's time to buy a car.

  After dinner, he went to the bus stop and waited for the bus. He squeezed in three times but couldn't get on. Looking at the crowded bus again, his scalp felt numb, so he gave up directly.

  "If I were to squeeze onto a crowded bus every day, I'd be able to master the true Wu-style boxing." He thought to himself with amusement.

  He had no choice but to hail a taxi. Taxis kept passing by one after another, unfortunately none of them stopped, leaving him feeling frustrated.

  At this time, a red Mini Cooper was driving from east to west, which happened to be the direction of the auto show. Through the car window, Zhang Jian saw that the driver was a beautiful young woman in her twenties with short hair and a heroic spirit. He had been waiting for the bus impatiently, and suddenly he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Beauty, can I hitch a ride with you?"

  The car drove past two car lengths and stopped with a screech. A short-haired beauty leaned out and looked Zhang Jun up and down before saying, "Get in."

  Zhang Junxin was overjoyed and hastily said, "Thank you." He rushed over a few steps and sat down in the front passenger seat.

  "Where are you going?" the beauty asked.

  "The car show is just up ahead, not far." said Zhang Jun.

  The woman nodded: "Fasten your seatbelt." Then she started the car.

  "You don't sound like you're from Kyoto, do you?" the woman asked, chewing gum in her mouth, with bright red lips and white teeth.

  Zhang Jun nodded: "Yes, I'm an outsider." After finishing speaking, he secretly measured and endured without using X-ray vision. However, based on the naked eye, he felt that this little girl's chest size was not small, and her waist was also very slender when viewed from the side, it was a figure that could stick to a man's gaze at first sight.

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, the car came to an emergency stop, and the woman's eyebrows were tightly locked, staring straight ahead at the left front.

  Zhang Jun looked forward and was shocked! At the entrance of a gold jewelry store, people were desperately running out, and someone was screaming loudly, looking very terrified.

  "Wait for me in the car." The woman jumped out of the car and ran quickly towards the gold shop.
