Chapter 42 The First Celebrity
After all, although his Chaos Mana is said to have all attributes, it should actually be said to be extremely inclusive and has no attributes.
In other words, in the future, he will have more sub-professionals, and he can have the magic attributes of many professionals. Now the attribute fusion has powerful effects, which is indeed good news.
While thinking, Zhang Buyi had already arrived at the city gate. Because Zhang Buyi arrived not too early, there was already a long queue to enter the city.
Looking around, almost all of them are people with shabby clothes and sallow complexions. In the future, they would be at the refugee level in Jingle City. But now, this is the basic status quo of people outside the city.
In the turbulent times when tobacco was rampant, foreign powers invaded, and wars broke out, just being able to survive was pretty good.
"Oh, prosperity, the people are suffering; death, the people are suffering!" Looking at this scene, Zhang Buyi sighed with a rare sigh, shook his head, did not line up, and walked straight towards the city gate.
"Taoist Master Zhengsong also feels that today's world is too difficult?" At this time, a question came from the side.
Zhang Buyi looked back and saw a young man in his twenties dressed in colorful clothes, holding a two-year-old baby in his arms, followed by a boy walking from behind.
"Are you... do you know Pindao?" Zhang Buyi looked at the young man with doubts on his face. There seemed to be no memory of the other person in the original owner's memory data.
Hearing this, Kang Guangren handed the baby in his arms to the boy and said politely: "I'm sorry, I'm Kang Guangren. This is the dog Kang Zuyi. I once went to Qingyu Temple to pay incense and saw Taoist Master Zhengsong from a distance."
While speaking, Kang Guangren actually said to the little boy who was only two years old in the boy's arms: "Zu Yi, please say hello to the Taoist priest."
The little kid actually bowed to Zhang Buyi in a decent manner and said timidly: "Hello, Taoist Master!"
Zhang Buyi was stunned for a moment. This baby must be two years old at most. Are all prodigies in ancient times such monsters?
Kang Guangren, was he a descendant of the Kang family in the city? According to Zhuang Zhengsong's memory, he seemed to be from a family of officials!
etc!
Kang Guangren?
Zu Yi?
Why does it sound familiar?
Kang Zuyi?
Damn it...couldn't this kid be Kang Youwei?
This was a celebrity from his past life, the kind of celebrity who has a name and surname in history textbooks. After three times of compilation and travel, he finally met a celebrity he knew!
Will it be a big fortune?!!
"Is there something wrong with the boy?" Kang Guangren asked in confusion when he saw Zhang Buyi staring directly at his baby. Kang Zuyi was a little timid and retracted into the boy's arms.
Only then did Zhang Buyi come back to his senses, and tried his best to show a gentle smile to the frightened child, but Kang Zuyi hid even more completely, not daring to look at him anymore.
Zhang Buyi smiled awkwardly and replied: "No, I just saw that Mr. Ling has an extraordinary appearance, and he will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future."
Kang Guangren was stunned for a moment, obviously he did not expect such a reply. You must know that Taoist Master Zhengsong of Qingyu Temple is a well-known figure in Massachusetts City, and it is not the fault of praising a stranger like him like this.
After all, although Qingyu Temple has declined, it is still a well-known Taoist temple in Massachusetts City. Even the prefect of this county was polite and proactive in making friends with Zhuang Zhengsong when he met him.
Immediately, he looked happy and replied with a smile: "Then I wish you good luck!"
Zhang Buyi waved his hand and said seriously: "Pindao, these are not polite words. Pindao has some knowledge of physiognomy. Your young master indeed has the talent of heaven and man."
Seeing Zhang Buyi's serious expression, Kang Guangren's face became even more joyful. Which parent doesn't want his son to become a successful child?
······
In this way, both parties are interested in making friends, and it is easy to talk a lot.
While the two were chatting, they walked towards the city gate. When the gatekeeper saw their group, he didn't stop them at all and didn't even check, so he just let them in.
The people in shabby clothes waiting to enter the city subconsciously moved away from each other to avoid getting them dirty. They lowered their heads, but peeked out of the corner of their eyes.
After entering the city, Zhang Buyi found that although the city was much better, there were more people who were as skinny as wood. Zhang Buyi even saw a few people who were fairly well-dressed, but they were all extremely skinny and fell down while walking.
Almost every other street on the roadside, there is a shop covered with curtains, with green smoke floating in the air, and a strange smell coming from it. Many people are puffing on the tobacco and getting drunk.
From time to time, skinny people enter it, and people who accidentally fall in and slip out, with expressions of enjoyment on their faces, as if they have ascended to immortality.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Buyi frowned subconsciously.
"Is this tobacco disaster already so serious?" Zhang Buyi murmured to himself.
Kang Guangren also said with a complex expression: "Yeah, if it wasn't so serious, how could those people in the DPRK who are greedy for life and afraid of death go to war with foreigners, even if they are forced to go to war!"
While Kang Guangren sighed, the two of them were silent for a moment. He continued: "Ever since Governor Lin Zexu passed away, this smoke disaster has begun to sweep through again. After several years, it has now come to a time when we have to face it!"
Zhang Buyi did not interrupt. He had studied this history in his previous life. But the words in the book could not compare to the shock of seeing it with his own eyes.
This tobacco is indeed a cancer, and no opening should be made to ban it.
Zhang Buyi's heart sank, but he did not forget the purpose of entering the city, especially with the Kang family and his son beside him, who were very likely big fat sheep. If he missed it, he would be heartbroken!
As he walked forward, all kinds of people appeared along the way, including a smoker lying on the street corner, not knowing whether he was alive or dead; a wealthy man who was dressed in extraordinary clothes and showing enjoyment, with the lingering lingering aftertaste of his immortality. Zhang Buyi's thoughts flashed and he began to look for a suitable target to try.
.
Don't make the first move easily, you must at least build your reputation. After all, this is also a major source of destiny, and it is the most clearly understood source at present.
"Master, I beg you, sell me, sell me."
"Crazy bitch, I'm telling you to let go, I'm telling you to let go..."
"Bump..."
"Wow, Dad, stop hitting grandma, stop hitting grandma!"
As Zhang Buyi and Kang Guangren were walking forward in silence, a woman's weak voice came from the street ahead, as well as the man's crazy and sharp roar, and the sound of punches and kicks.
Zhang Buyi looked forward and saw a group of people on the street and at the entrance of the alley. Because of his height, Zhang Buyi could vaguely see through the crowd, a man in the crowd, facing a woman.
Punches and kicks.
The woman had already seen a lot of blood and was seriously injured. A five or six-year-old baby was being protected by the woman, crying and trying to stop the man.
However, the man beat her and tried to take away the baby that the woman was protecting.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Buyi did not continue searching, but frowned and walked towards the crowd. The crowd automatically made way for them to enter.
After getting closer, Zhang Buyi discovered that not only had the woman been beaten until she was covered in blood, but even the corners of her mouth began to bleed. She had obviously suffered serious internal injuries. At this moment, the woman was already in a state of shock.
Obviously, this pulling and pulling has been going on for a while. Kang Guangren, who followed Zhang Buyi in, also frowned at this scene.
Zhang Buyi frowned, looked at the man and said, "Stop!"
The tone is not serious, but rather light, but it has an undeniable flavor.
The man seemed unaware and continued to punch and kick him.
Zhang Buyi waved his hand, and a strong wind was thrown out, directly throwing the man two meters away.
"oh!"
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and many people subconsciously took two steps back. Kang Guangren was very calm, as if he was not curious about the movement caused by Zhang Buyi, or it was taken for granted.
After the man got up, he looked up with a stern look on his face. After noticing Zhang Buyi and Kang Youwei's clothing and aura, he put away his angry expression and became much calmer, saying:
"This Taoist Priest, it doesn't bother you if I discipline my wife, right? Or does the Taoist Priest like my wife and want to rob her in broad daylight?"
Zhang Buyi frowned slightly. In this era, husbands could do whatever they wanted with their women. They could beat or scold them at will. They were no better than goods.
This is especially true in today's turbulent times.
Kang Guangren looked at Zhang Buyi, then turned to look at the man, and took the initiative to answer: "I think you want to sell this baby, how much money is it?"
When the man heard this, a greedy look flashed in his eyes, revealing his yellow teeth, and said: "Twelve!"
"Mom, mother, what's wrong with you!" Before the two of them could continue talking, the little girl in the woman's arms suddenly found that her mother's breath began to weaken.
Zhang Buyi frowned and stepped forward, put his hand to feel his pulse, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some internal injuries, they were not fatal. From the looks of it, he was just about to faint.
When he raised his hand, he was about to use the Golden Needle to treat the Du Channel. However, his movement stopped in mid-air. He looked around and saw that many people were watching.
He is a Taoist priest now!
As thoughts flashed, Zhang Buyi's eyes flickered. He raised his head and looked around, and came up with a new idea.
"Taoist Master, please save my mother. Da Ya is willing to serve the Taoist Master as a slave and maid." Seeing Zhang Buyi stop his movements, he looked at the seven or eight-year-old girl in front of him, knelt in front of him, and prayed.
.
These words made Zhang Buyi pause, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
As a slave? It seems that this body is still a good-looking uncle?
Probably because of some clues and too deep memory, even at this moment, his thoughts couldn't help but wander a little.
"Don't worry, with Pindao here, it will be very difficult for your mother to die even if she wants to!"
After suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Zhang Buyi stood up and came to a nearby tea stall. The people around him followed him with their eyes and subconsciously moved out of the way.
Under the astonished gaze of the tea vendor next to him, Zhang Buyi bowed to him and said, "This layman, can I ask for a bowl of water?"
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay!" The vendor immediately came to his senses and hurriedly poured half a bowl of cold boiled water for Zhang Buyi. He handed it to Zhang Buyi carefully and asked, "Would you like more tea?"
"No, water is enough!"
