Chapter 285: Chapter 284: The Mysterious Connection between Daoist Buyu and the Prison Cell_1

When Lu Yang heard that Daoist Buyu was jailed, he blurted out, “Master is in prison again?”

Wait, why did I use the word “again”?

Yun Zhi sighed slowly and nodded, “I do not really want to acknowledge it, but it is the reality.”

“Although I have told Master multiple times ‘when you get in trouble in the future, do not expose your disciple’.”

“However, we are still a master and disciple, even if Master disgraces himself outside, we should still call him ‘Master’ when we meet him, we can’t pretend not to know him.”

“…so was the key point of what you just said about the term ‘Master’, rather than why he is in prison?”

“Master wrote a letter asking to send someone to get him out of the prison. As usual, it’s Fourth Elder’s job to bail him out. But since Master just happens to be in Goose County, we could visit him after dealing with the Fairy Eternity remains, and see why he was locked up this time.”

“Does Master often go to prison?”

“Not often, just that he spends more time in prison than most jailers.”

“…”

“Thanks to his unique experiences, he believes that one should leave something to the world, hence he wrote a book based on his personal experiences, which received support from the government.”

Lu Yang was curious, “What did Master write?”

“Two Thousand Years of Prison Environmental Change in the Great Xia Dynasty.”

Yun Zhi casually listed examples, “During the Nine-child Era of the Seek Dao Sect, Master was often arrested for hazardous driving while under the influence, driving Flying Swords after drinking. He had to stay in prison for several months each time.”

Yun Zhi further explained the current state of the judicial system in the Great Xia Dynasty, “Actually, this is the most common crime committed by cultivators. Not only Flying Swords, but also driving gourds and jade flutes while drunk. Most cultivators do not want to dissolve alcohol with magic after drinking, they just fly in the sky while they are tipsy. The Great Xia Dynasty has been trying to stop them.”

“Master has also pretended to be a fortuneteller, telling the clients that they would be defrauded today, and if they want to avoid it, they should pay money for the disaster removal. When the clients believed Master’s words and gave him spirit stones to remove the disaster, Master accepted the spirit stones and said ‘See, I told you would be cheated today. Wasn’t my calculation accurate?'”

“Then he was put in prison.”

There were too many things Daoist Buyu had done, Yun Zhi couldn’t mention all of them in a short time, so she randomly picked a few examples to show Lu Yang.

“I wonder if you have heard that Master once developed a magic skill called ‘Wish Granting Technique: Local Version’. It is easy to learn.”

Lu Yang nodded. It is the magic skill that allowed men to make changes below and women to make changes above. He had heard of it and even wanted to learn it, but he had never got the chance.

“Originally, the government wanted to charge Master with the crime of making, copying, publishing, selling, and spreading obscene materials for profit but then Fourth Elder stepped forward, argued based on reason, saying that this magic skill mastered by Master was a health preservation method and had no obscene meaning. After a great deal of dispute, the government finally agreed not to charge Master with a crime, but asked Master not to spread this magic skill anymore, and made Master pay the sales tax.”

“Fourth Elder is really righteous!” Lu Yang did not expect that Fourth Elder, who usually seemed to disagree with Master, actually stood up for him at a critical moment, saving Master from prison.

Yun Zhi glanced at Lu Yang and said calmly, “That’s because Fourth Elder was also involved in the selling. If Master had committed a crime, he would have also been implicated.”

“Or rather, if Master had committed a crime, all Nine Sons of the Seek Dao Sect would have gone down together, they would have all been sent to prison for a reunion.”

“Anyway, Master earned a lot of money that time, so much so that he was throwing money around like it was dirt, completely disregarding the worth of spirit stones.”

“Master once emulated the Grand Elder to visit the brothel. At that time, Master was dressed in gold and silver, looking like a nouveau riche man. The brothel keeper was delighted, thinking he was a big spender. But when Master asked the brothel to issue an invoice, the brothel keeper’s face changed, thinking Master was here to make a fuss, so she refused to give him one.”

“Master thought this behavior of the brothel was tax evasion, so he sued the brothel to the government office. In the end, the government office confirmed the brothel’s tax evasion, and the brothel keeper was jailed. Master was also confirmed to have solicited prostitution, so he was jailed as well.”

“When the era of the Nine Sons of the Seek Dao Sect ended, and the Grand Elder retired, and the nine of them took over the power of the Seek Dao Sect, Master still did not behave.”

“You should know that the Grand Elder enjoys building tombs. Master accompanied the Grand Elder to go out to build tombs from place to place. During their tomb excavation, they accidentally dug into a real tomb. They were reported as grave robbers to the government office. When the government office sent people to arrest them, they thought they were zombies and almost fought back.”

Fairy Eternity was amazed to hear this in the spiritual space, the Seek Dao Sect truly has many exceptional people. Being in Lu Yang’s spiritual space was indeed an eye-opener.

Lu Yang: “…”

Lu Yang felt that he had Fairy Eternity on one side, and Daoist Buyu on the other. Under their dual influence, he himself was able to stick to his principles, conducting himself earnestly in both actions and morals which was remarkable.

“But isn’t Master in the Unification phase? How was he caught?”

As the Sect Leader of the Seek Dao Sect, he is at the top of the Unification phase and might even be the strongest in the Unification phase. Even if all the people in Goose County were piled up together, they would not be Daoist Buyu’s match.

How could he have been caught?

“Master says that being in prison is a part of worldly cultivation.”

“So is breaking out of prison part of worldly cultivation?”

Yun Zhi was silent for a while and looked deeply at Lu Yang: “Don’t ask Master this question, I’m afraid he might get ideas.”

Lu Yang scratched his head, “Okay. I have another question.”

“What?”

“Shouldn’t we go to visit him in prison? Why are we eating now?”

At this time, Lu Yang and Yun Zhi were sitting in the private room. In front of them were an array of delicious dishes.

After coming back from the Fairy Eternity’s ruins, Yun Zhi didn’t go straight to the prison. Instead, she took Lu Yang to the best restaurant in Goose County and ordered local special dishes. Lu Yang was watching in shock.

He wanted to ask, but didn’t because Master was being held not far from here while we were feasting here. Shouldn’t it seem a bit inappropriate to discuss all these things?

Considering that the person sitting across from him was Eldest Senior Sister, he ultimately didn’t dare to ask.

Yun Zhi took a bite of the steamed beef meatballs, the meatballs were firm and juice overflowed as she bit in, she was very satisfied.

Yun Zhi put down her chopsticks and explained earnestly, “Junior Brother, you have to understand that Master is our elder, and what elders want to see most is for their juniors to be healthy and growing strong. If we eat and sleep well here, Master will be happy to know about our situation even in prison.”

Lu Yang felt that Eldest Senior Sister’s words make sense, but something seemed a bit off.

It seemed that his brain didn’t work well lately. Was it the aftereffect of playing Yellow Bean Fist?
