One hundred and twenty-six strange phone calls

  Orthodox Transmission System

  Bai Yu was taken aback by the words, but after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but feel a little amused. Indeed, these Taoist priests were all people who had rolled around in the Jianghu, and if their eloquence wasn't up to par, it would be strange. And for someone like Shui Mu with real skills, in this era, they put all their thoughts into these Taoist teachings, so it was inevitable that they would lack some social skills when interacting with people.

  Bai Yu chuckled and shook his head: "Can't people nowadays even design feng shui without making mistakes?"

  Muzi shook his head and said, "Generally speaking, those who are not very skilled will not come out, after all, since they pretend to be gods, they will understand some taboos in this aspect. However, they don't have any real skills, designing feng shui or not designing it makes no difference, in the end, things will turn out as they should."

  Feng shui is not something that anyone can learn just because they want to. Although there are some relevant knowledge on the internet, without a master's guidance, one can only vaguely understand it. When encountering real feng shui environments, those theoretical knowledge are of little use.

  Because of tradition, whenever someone wants to build a house or develop some place, they will always find a Feng Shui master to take a look. However, now there are always some places that have been pointed out by so-called Feng Shui masters but end up with endless troubles. This is certainly the result of some half-baked and self-proclaimed masters. They just studied some books from street vendors and read some theoretical knowledge online, then they started to claim themselves as Feng Shui experts and began to offer their services to others. It's strange if nothing goes wrong after being evaluated by such people.

  Feng Shui and Yi studies have a long tradition, the depth of knowledge is self-evident, if not like water and wood professionals, wanting to learn by oneself will naturally be impossible.

  Muzi also had some toothache, and hated to say: "Now it's these charlatans who are ruining the reputation of the Feng Shui world. Now, as long as there is someone introducing one or two friends, but once they hear that I am a Feng Shui master, they will associate me with the word 'charlatan', and some people even disdain to interact with me."

  Bai Yu nodded upon hearing this. Such things were actually quite common, and he used to be an ordinary person before obtaining the system. His views on Feng Shui masters and fortune tellers back then could generally be replaced with a single word: "scammers".

  But now looking back at past ideas, I find them somewhat amusing. My understanding has broadened and my horizons have expanded, so naturally I've come to realize that the world isn't actually that simple.

  Bai Yu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, nowadays people have labeled our profession with a divine stick."

  At this time, the flight attendant's eternal words sounded again: "Welcome to all passengers on board, please fasten your seatbelts..." This was when the plane was about to take off. Bai Yu and Mizuki first buckled up the safety belts beside them, then sat back and waited for the plane to take off.

  After a while, the plane started moving, and as it taxied, people on board felt a slight dip in their bodies. The plane successfully took off.

  After waiting for a few people to sit down, Shui Mu asked with a smile: "Bai Daoist friend, I don't know where your home is? My family is in J City. If we are not far apart, we can still gather together when we have time. Although there are many people in my Taoist sect now, but our city only has about ten or so."

  "I'm in J City, and we're not too far apart." Bai Yu was somewhat surprised to hear this, first answering Mizuki's question, then asking: "I wonder how many people are actually part of the Suotu?"

  Su Mu pondered for a moment before saying, "There should be several hundred people with some ability, but they are scattered all over the country. However, it's hard to know exactly how many there are in each place. In fact, our sect can't even be considered a proper sect, only a branch of Taoism. You also know that we make a living by relying on this, but if there are too many people in one place, there will be competition. Therefore, the disciples of our sect have all dispersed. Over time, they formed various Feng Shui families scattered everywhere."

  Bai Yu nodded upon hearing this, he could also imagine that it would be like this. After all, when a place has too many people gathered together like them, there will definitely be competition. However, now the number of gods is too high, and in the end they are not competing with each other. But their competitors have turned into these gods, and they have left them powerless to fight back.

  It's hard not to say that this matter is both frustrating and amusing. Bai Yu shook his head and said, "It seems that it's not just the current state of the cultivation world that's declining, but in the future, even the lives of cultivators may become difficult."

  The plane had been flying in the sky for a long time before it finally arrived at the airport. The three people got off the plane and began to bid each other farewell.

  Because Bai Yu didn't call Pang Ping when he arrived, so Pang Ping's car didn't come to pick him up. However, Bai Yu didn't immediately call Pang Ping, but instead went straight out of the airport and hailed a taxi, heading towards his rental house.

  Bai Yu paid the money, went upstairs, and ran into Li Jiuzhen coming from the opposite direction. Bai Yu was taken aback when he saw him, then politely asked, "Uncle Li, have you gone to work?"

  But Li Jiuzhen's expression was somewhat unexpected, he seemed to be thinking about something, and a hint of panic flashed across his face, "Ah? Oh, going to work, going to work." Then he stepped aside and let Bai Yu quickly walk down the stairs.

  Bai Yu was slightly startled, not knowing what was going on, shook his head and didn't bother to pay attention anymore, preparing to open the door and walk into the room. However, just at this moment, a ringing phone suddenly came through. It turned out that Li Jiuren's phone had started ringing.

  Li Jiuzhen took out his phone at this time, lowered his voice and whispered into the phone, but although his voice was already quite low, it wasn't a difficult task for Bai Yu to hear these words with his keen sense of hearing.

  Of course, Bai Yu didn't want to eavesdrop on the conversation and originally didn't plan on paying attention to it, but the voice wouldn't care whether he listened or not and naturally drilled into his ears. Just as he opened the lock, the person on the phone had already started speaking.

  "Jiuzhen, do you need to use the money urgently now?" It was a low and deep male voice, with a very distinctive tone. Upon hearing this voice, one could sense the vicissitudes of life it carried, suggesting that this person had stories to tell.

  Li Jiuzhen's feet were moving quickly as he glanced around cautiously, his eyes darting back and forth like a thief, while he replied respectfully, "No, Elder Wu."

  That person seemed to nod and responded softly, "Uh-huh." Then he chuckled and said, "So why did you do this? When I found out about this, I thought you were short on money, so now I've come to ask you." Li Jiuzhen's footsteps were quick, and in the brief pause while speaking, he had already walked nearly a hundred meters.

  Bai Yu, who was opening the door, noticed the situation on this side and felt a bit strange. He didn't understand why Li Jiuzhen was acting like a thief, and his movements also gradually stopped. Although the distance was already quite far, it had not exceeded Bai Yu's hearing range, and the voice on the phone could still be faintly heard.

  At this time, Li Jiuzhen smiled and said: "If we really lack money, I will definitely explain it to Old Wu."

  Wu Lao Da nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Since that's the case, I won't ask about this matter anymore. After all, it's your family affair." He paused for a moment, remained silent for a while, then asked again, "How's the harvest been lately? Is the supply sufficient? Do you want me to send some brothers out to find more?"

  Li Jiuzhen's face still wore a smile as he said, "Don't worry, Old Wu, we have enough goods. Didn't you already send Xiao Sanzi and the others to make arrangements outside? I must say, those guys are really capable. The amount of goods that have come in this time is more than before."

  Then the voice of Wu Lao Da on the phone said something else, but Bai Yu couldn't hear it because it was too far away. It seemed to be beneficial for Li Jiuzhen, but judging from Li Jiuzhen's joyful face, it could be known.

  However, at this time, Bai Yu's heart was not only strange, but also surprised. Li Jiuzhen usually didn't have such a side in front of Bai Yu. All along, Li Jiuzhen had been very honest and serious, never speaking or laughing excessively, with an expression that seemed to be saying "I don't care". But when talking on the phone, he actually had a clear intention of trying to please the other person, which made Bai Yu feel strange.

  But the content of the phone call made Bai Yu even more bewildered, family matters? Goods source? Harvest? Looking for something? Could it be that Li Jiuzhen was not a surgeon, but a grain purchaser? How could there be a harvest involved?

  Bai Yu thought it was getting stranger and stranger, and suddenly a silly smile flashed in his mind, which was Jin Yi's face. Jin Yi had been missing for so long that Bai Yu felt strange, and then he thought of Li Jiuzhen's strange phone call, the strange content of the phone call. Bai Yu suddenly felt like he had a premonition, but it was elusive and difficult to grasp. Although he wasn't a saint, in his heart, he felt that this matter wouldn't be simple, and it might not be a good thing either.

  Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly closed the already open door and quickly walked down the stairs, following in the direction where Li Jiuzhen had disappeared. He wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on.

  Although he hasn't figured out the general situation yet, Bai Yu's intuition tells him that this matter may not be a good thing, and there might be some hidden doors.

  Bai Yu ran after Li Jiuzhen's direction, but at this time Li Jiuzhen had already hung up the phone and walked onto the highway. He hailed a taxi and headed in one direction. Watching Li Jiuzhen leave, Bai Yu furrowed his brow, looked around, and found that there were no cars for the time being. He supported his chin with his hand and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and memorized the license plate number of the car in front of him. Then, his footsteps moved, but the direction he went was completely opposite to Li Jiuzhen's! He actually followed the original road back!
