Chapter 106: Walnut Town
Donglai bared his big teeth and smiled brightly, saying, "If you understand, then I don't have to put on a noble demeanor anymore. It's too tiring. I'll tell you a joke to relax."
Li Changsheng said, "Then I'm all ears."
Donglai Taoist was very dissatisfied with Li Changsheng's attitude: "You little guy, I'm satisfied with everything about you, but I don't like you being too serious! Three days ago, someone gave me ten gold bars and asked me to take your head. How funny would he be if he knew you were my junior brother? Hahaha, that's so funny. He actually wanted to bribe me to kill my junior brother! I've been laughing for several nights now, so I'll wait for Mr. Shen to leave and share this with you. The most interesting thing is that he does not want to ser you stay by Mr. Shen's side, so I effortlessly obtained ten yellow and clear gold bars, which has been the happiest thing for me in recent years!"
Li Changsheng also smiled and said: "Mr. Shen and I already know who this fool is, but in order to make our senior brother to be happier, I have to tell you that there are five corpses in the Heavenly Pool on the mountaintop now, which are his followers. The Shen family will not publicize this matter, so as not to provoke their defense when the Shen family against the Li family in the future. This fool will not disclose to the public that he is a murderer, but senior brother you may accidentally slip your tongue when telling jokes. You can earn anothet ten gold bars, make yourself happier."

Donglai was greatly surprised and said, "Infinite Longevity Buddha! Those who are capable are omnipotent, and my junior brother has exceptional talent. He can also draw inferences from others, which is truly a great blessing for our sect. In the future, if you take over my position, you will surely make the Louguantai Taoist Temple prosperous and prosperous."
After finishing lunch, Li Changsheng bid farewell to Donglai. He carried his luggage, climbed onto the dark horse, crossed the northern foothills of Zhongnan Mountain, and headed towards the Wenshi Taoist Temple at Qinglong Ridge in the south. According to the location and route provided by Taoist Wuwei, Li Changsheng discovered that the Wenshi Taoist Temple was originally located deep in the Zhongnan Mountain, belonging to the Shangluo region, and was actually only about 200 miles away from Li Changsheng's home.
The horse's hooves fluttered lightly, and the big black horse led Li Changsheng across the misty peak of the Qinling Mountains. At noon, they finally arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain. Li Changsheng looked at the landmark on the roadside stone tablet: Walnut Town.
This kind of mountain town is far less prosperous than the ancient towns in Guangzhou. The residents of this small town live along both sides of the Danjiang River, following the undulating terrain. They will build many houses with yellow walls and thatched roofs on slightly flat areas. This kind of house appears very quiet amidst the green mountains and clear waters.
There is not even a hotel or restaurant in the small town, it seems rare for outsiders to come in. Li Changsheng suddenly remembered that his colleague, Li Chenglin, an accountant at Guangzhou Nanyang Wanbao Dry Goods Trading Company, seemed to be living near here.
