Zen Master Heidou put down the bowl, and the atmosphere was slightly eased, but the four of them still seemed stagnant when they squeezed into the small meditation room.

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "I also agree to cooperate. I don't know how to cooperate?"

Xu Ran said slowly, "Let's talk about each other's purpose first. The city lord took the risk to come in, just to ask if there are any chores?"

Zhou Shu paused, "That's one, and the other, do you know Ou Ting?"

Guan Jiu nodded, "It is said that he is the descendant of the caster of the extremely evil sword and has also come to Wunian City, but later... Oh, is the city lord trying to track down Ou Ting's whereabouts?"

"good."

Zhou Shu looked solemn, "Ou Ting is my old friend, I must find him. I heard that he was locked in Xiao Leiyin Temple." His eyes turned and fell on Heidou, "Zen Master, is this true?"

Zen Master Heidou clasped his ten paths, "I don't know."

Zhou Shu was calm, "What about the chores? Why not recruit people? Where did the original person go?"

Zen Master Heidou didn't move, "More than 20 years ago, no one came to do chores here. As for where he went, I don't know."

Zhou Shu frowned and said slowly, "The Zen master knows nothing, and hasn't he asked the abbot not to be deluded?"

Zen Master Heidou was very calm, "I practiced in the temple for a purpose. I don't care about many things in the temple and I don't care about them. As for the abbot Buwang," he glanced at Xu Ran, and Xu Ran nodded as if he was acquiesced, and then continued, "If Buwang was still in the temple, how could I bring them in? Isn't that going to seek death?"

"Don't you be in the temple?"

Zhou Shu was stunned. If this was true, it would be a god-given opportunity.

Zen Master Heidou slowly said, "It has not appeared for more than 20 years. No one has seen him. He even did not come out for daily homework and Dharma Assembly. This is something that has never happened in ten thousand years. He has never missed the Dharma Assembly before. Tiangufeng said that he was not in seclusion, but it is unlikely that meditation is in seclusion in the Zen temple. There is no need to go to seclusion alone. Moreover, the improvement of Zen principles and Zen power in the homework and Dharma Assembly is far from practicing alone. Giving up these to seclusion is not something that can be done by meditation."

Zhou Shu thought for a few moments, "Then where is he now?"

"have no idea."

The person who spoke was Xu Ran, "According to our investigation, Buwang has not personally handled the affairs of Wunian City for a long time. Most of the affairs of the fairy city were handled by several deputy city lords. In addition to the situation of Xiao Leiyin Temple, we can draw inferences: Buwang either left Wunian City or something big happened, such as being injured or even... In short, he is unable to exercise the power of the city lord normally now."

"You have planned it for a long time before you found such an opportunity."

Zhou Shu glanced at them and said, "Since it's a cooperation, I should talk to me and see if I can help."

Guan Jiu and Zen Master Heidou both looked at Xu Ran. Xu Ran pondered for a few breaths and said slowly, "It's different from the city lord. The city mainly finds people, and what we are looking for is something."

Zhou Shu's expression was slightly condensed, "What can make the Xu family spend so much effort, must be extraordinary?"

Guan Jiu snorted, "The city lord has asked too much."

"Are there many? Let's make it clear first, no one wants to change their minds temporarily."

Zhou Shu smiled and didn't explain. It was not that he wanted to ask too much, but that he had to ask. What if the Xu family wanted was Nuwa Stone or Sheng Xie? These two things were related to each other and could not fall into the hands of the Xu family.

"What do you mean? Do you want something else besides people?"

Guan Jiu's face changed slightly, "I know that Bubang is not here, but I feel that I can be unscrupulous? The city lord has too much appetite."

"Okay, Guan Jiu," Xu Ran stopped him, "I believe that City Lord Zhou, it is better to say some things first, so as not to get entangled later. What our Xu family wants is a Taoist instrument, or to be precise, part of the Taoist instrument."

Zhou Shu nodded gently, "What kind of Taoist instrument is it?"

It feels a little wrong. The magical artifact is also a Taoist artifact. Could it be that the Xu family really likes Nuwa Stone?

From a collaborator to a competitor, it is by no means a good thing.

Guan Jiu frowned again, and Zen Master Heidou was also dissatisfied.

Xu Ran smiled faintly, "It may not be clear if the city lord says it, but the city lord must dig deeper into the bottom line. I can say that it may be a little trouble after the city lord knows it."

Zhou Shu said seriously, "Compared to trouble, I would rather ask clearly. This is the basis of cooperation."

Xu Ran pondered for a few breaths, "Since the city lord said that, I would rather obey my orders than respect."

He paused, "The city lord knows why Buwang entered the list of thousands of evils?"

Zhou Shu nodded, "It is said that he killed an important figure in the Immortal World Sect, something happened 20,000 years ago."

Xu Ran said calmly, "Yes, the person he killed was Wei Yun, who was the elder of the Jiliu Sect. Jiliu Sect had great hopes to become the sect in charge. As the youngest elder in the sect, Wei Yun had a broad future. He was listed on the Tianji List with the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and was praised by the top ten people on the Tianji List. He may even enter the Immortal Court in the future, but Wei Yun and Buwang had a conflict and were killed by Buwang. Jiliu Sect did not become the sect in the end. This incident caused a lot of storm in the fairy world. The city lord will know after a little investigation."

Zhou Shu shook his head, "Of course I believe what fellow Taoist said, but what does this have to do with the Xu family?"

Xu Ran paused, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Not many people know that, like Guan Jiu, Wei Yun was also from the Xu family, and then went to the fairy world to develop. He is not only the future of the Jiliu Sect, but also the hope of our Xu family."

"ah?"

Zhou Shu's face changed slightly, "So that's it."

He had known that the Xu family was one of the four most famous masters in the foreign world, but he did not expect that the Xu family's foundation was not only in the foreign world, but had already extended their hands to the fairy world, and even had the opportunity to enter the highest management level of the fairy world... These big families, no matter where they are, have many roots and are hard to guard against.

Guan Jiu snorted coldly, "I hope the city lord understands that there are no more than ten people in the heavens who know about this."

"I certainly won't say what I shouldn't say."

Zhou Shu nodded, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Then should you seek revenge?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Buwang."

Xu Ran quickly returned to his calmness, "Although we have no conclusive evidence, we also know that the reason why this happened was in the fairy world. The fairy world wanted the Buddha Kingdom and the Xu family to fight each other, but Buwang and Wei Yun were the same, and were regarded as pawns by the fairy world. If the Xu family stood up for Wei Yun, many bigger problems would be implicated. Of course, we didn't care. After the fight between several parties, the result was that everyone saw that the Buddha Kingdom expelled Buwang and the fairy world would be wanted. This was a result that all parties could accept. As for the Xu family suffered a secret loss and the Zhiliu Sect suffered a greater loss, there was nothing they could do."

He said lightly, "It's not a mistake to Buwang, it's just our Xu family who chose not enough, and he underestimated the fairy world."
