Chapter 238: Localities Cannot Support the Central Government

"How dare you, little brat, threaten me?" Yun Huazi shouted angrily, but his face showed no emotion. "Your behavior shows that you must be perverse. Regardless of your status and position, you are not a good person. If I give you the prescription, you may not use it to save people. I'm afraid you are just seeking personal gain."

Zhou Chang pointed three fingers to the sky and swore: "I swear to the heavens that I am not a greedy person, and I will never joke with human life. I asked for the Taoist's prescription only for the people of this city. Since the Taoist has the heart to save the world and the people, please believe me once. If I disobey you, I will be struck by lightning."

"God will strike you? You are not qualified." Yun Huazi was disdainful.

"Although I can't produce any evidence to prove my character, if the Taoist priest can propose some conditions, I might be able to do it." No matter what Zhou Chang said, it was useless, and he felt endless powerlessness.

Yun Huazi was silent for a moment, but he didn't seem to be thinking. Instead, he asked, "Did you put any medicine powder in the medicine jar that shouldn't have been there?"

"Let him go." Zhou Chang said without hesitation.

"Then let's not talk about it." Yun Huazi waved his sleeves.

"What if he's not released? Is there anything to talk about?" Zhou Chang's eyes lit up.

Yun Huazi chuckled: "Don't think I have no other options. At worst, I can just replace all the medicines and brew them again."

"I probably won't do that, Taoist priest. Right now the entire Lin Kingdom is in short supply of medicinal materials, and the prices of medicinal materials are extremely high. There are more than a dozen jars of medicine here. Isn't it a waste?" Zhou Chang said confidently.

Yun Huazi carefully looked at Zhou Chang for a few times, and after a while came to the conclusion: "According to my guess, you didn't put any medicine powder at all. I was paying attention to you just now. Don't think that I am old and dizzy and useless. How can a little kid like you be better than an old man like me?"

"Then I guess the Taoist priest doesn't dare to take a real gamble. Even if I admit now that I didn't release it, will the Taoist priest believe it so easily?" Zhou Chang moved sideways to block Yun Huazi's sight and opened the lid of a medicine jar. "The Taoist priest has a pair of golden eyes. Can he be sure that he can keep an eye on my every move?"

"Human life is at stake, this is not a joke." Yun Huazi seemed to have no idea what to do.

"It is indeed a matter of life and death. People die in Xicheng every day. Don't you care at all, Taoist priest? Can't you trust me once and believe in people's hearts once?" Zhou Chang asked back.

"I only believe in the way of heaven, not human heart." It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Hearing this, Yun Huazi sneered and flicked his sleeves, "Get out. I would rather make these medicines again than get entangled with a brat like you."

"I also believe in the way of heaven. I can swear to heaven that if I use this prescription to benefit myself, I will be struck by lightning." Zhou Chang swore again.

"Get out..." Yun Huazi remained unmoved.

Zhou Chang was frustrated and exhausted.

The room was hot and stuffy, and continuing the stalemate would lead to no result.

She was not a bad person. Since she was already desperate, she did not need to cause trouble to others. She bowed her hands and apologized: "I am sorry for causing trouble to you, Taoist priest. You don't have to boil the medicine again. I didn't dare to put any powder in it. Please trust me and don't waste the medicine."

Yun Huazi secretly let out a long sigh: "You..."

"Master, it's so hot in the room, why do you still wear your hat?" Zhou Chang took advantage of Yun Huazi's relaxation, stepped forward, and pulled off Yun Huazi's octagonal hat.

Yun Huazi was horrified, stepped back to avoid the attack, tripped and fell backwards.

"Master..." Zhou Chang was unwilling to leave like this, as the octagonal hat was an order from a customer from another dimension.

Since Yun Huazi is so stubborn and can't be persuaded no matter what, there's no need to worry about it. It's no big deal to snatch his hat away from him.

But she also didn't want Yun Huazi to fall and get hurt, so she quickly reached out to save him.

"Ah..." I didn't expect the house to be so small, and there were choppers, pestles and other objects piled on the ground.

Zhou Chang didn't know what he stepped on.

"Bang..."

Before Yun Huazi could do anything, she fell to the ground first.

When Zhou Chang got up from the ground again, what came into his sight was a bald head.

It was fine when Yuan Huazi was wearing the octagonal hat. One could only see his white hair fluttering under the brim, looking elegant and unrestrained, with an air of an immortal. But when he took off the hat, there was only a shiny head in the middle, like an eggshell with white hair stuck around it, which was very funny.

"Master, you can heal yourself but don't want to, or have you converted to Buddhism? Haha..." Zhou Chang couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is because the local governments cannot support the central government.

"..." Yun Huazi was so angry that he was shaking all over and pointed at Zhou Chang, unable to speak.

He has been practicing Taoism for most of his life and has long seen through the worldly world, but the only thing he cares about is his appearance and he can never let it go.

As luck would have it, during one of his meditation practices, his Qi flow went wrong and he almost went insane. Afterwards, he began to lose his hair continuously, starting from the Baihui point in the center of the top of his head, and it was out of control.

Even though he was a skilled doctor with the ability to bring people back to health, he was ultimately unable to cure the problems caused by his practice. He tried everything but could not cure his baldness problem.

Back then, he was a world-famous handsome man, but he didn't expect that his hair would affect his appearance, which was unbearable, so he had to wear various hats to cover it up all year round.

This is one of the biggest regrets in my life.

Zhou Chang laughed and laughed, and then came up with an idea: "Haha... Taoist priest, please believe me, I saw everything, and I don't have any other hobbies except listening to stories, and I know quite a few storytellers..."

Yuan Huazi held his head, afraid of being seen by outsiders, and was unable to move forward or backward.

As soon as Zhou Chang opened his mouth, he immediately knew the intention behind his words, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in anger: "You are so young, but you have such a vicious heart."

"I can't help it," Zhou Chang spread his hands, "I'm doing this for the innocent people. If you don't agree..."

"Don't even think about it..." Yun Huazi was extremely ashamed and angry, but still refused to compromise. He turned and walked towards the corner gate.

"Where are you going, Taoist priest? We haven't finished talking yet." Zhou Chang, holding the octagonal hat in his hand, followed him to stop him, "Leave this hat to me as evidence..."

Yun Huazi opened the door at the corner of the window and said without turning his head: "I have nothing to say to a young boy like you."

"If the Taoist priest doesn't tell me, then I will go and tell someone else." Zhou Chang stretched his neck but couldn't see where the corner door was, so he had to shake the octagonal hat in his hand.

"Hmph..." Yun Huazi snorted coldly and turned around suddenly.

A strong wind blew, Zhou Chang's eyes blurred, and he was pushed backwards by an invisible force.

"Don't think that I dare not hurt you just because you are a prince." Yun Huazi glared at him.

Zhou Chang staggered a few steps and barely stood still. He was flustered and pale. After all, her behavior was extremely immoral. He couldn't help but feel guilty. He put his hand on his chest and apologized: "I was impatient and used the wrong method, which angered the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest can really hurt me to vent his anger, I am willing to do so."
