Chapter 12 Four-Horse Trip to Dahuai Town

It is midsummer, and the wind blows, bringing the fragrance of wild orchids on the roadside. It clears up after the rain, and Hsinchu is cool. The mountains are covered with mugwort leaves and the streams are full of cattail flowers, each competing for its beauty. The pomegranates are beautiful, bees are flying around, the willow trees are dark in the streams, and children are playing.

Wu Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain and saw this scene and couldn't help but feel something. It had only been half a month since he had been up the mountain, and he felt like he was in another world. His body was also tainted with the aura of otherworldliness, and he watched the changes in everything in the world with the mentality of a bystander.

Silently lowering the car curtain, Wu Yi said to the man driving in front of him: "Speed ​​up, we will rest at Lin's house in Leisure Villa tonight."

The strongman sitting in front of the car agreed. The whip left a piercing crack in the air, and he drank: "Drive."

The four white horses all neighed in unison and sped up one after another. Their hooves were fast and steady. The other strong men scattered around the carriage also dispersed. The few in the front opened the way and drove away other pedestrians on the open road. The carriage was tightly wrapped around it. It was really impressive and grand.

The young children who were playing under the shade of the trees couldn't help but stop. After seeing the sign representing the first branch of the state religion, their eyes showed envy. They watched the carriage leave their sight. Even the young children also looked at it. In this way, we can see the power of Yiqimen in Daewoo Kingdom.

When he first received the task of clearing out the turbid air, Wu Yi originally planned to set off quietly alone, complete the task and then return, trying not to have contact with mortals. However, not to mention Sun Zhijie's disapproval of this matter, even Li Gu also advised him to do it in the future. Stop thinking about it.

Wu Yi didn't understand it at first, but after seeing the attitude of everyone in Dayu Kingdom towards Yiqimen along the way, he suddenly understood.

Yiqimen needs to demonstrate its existence by solving some problems that cannot be solved by mortal dynasties, so that the people can yearn for Yiqimen, and firmly consolidate the status of the state religion in Daewoo. What Wu Yi represents at this moment is not himself. But a valve.

The status of Yiqimen needs to be reflected.

Of course, Wu Yi is still just a disciple with a new sense of energy. He is far worse than the professors and elders in the sect. Those people go out, ride on the clouds and fly in the boat, the fairy holds the fan, the golden boy holds the lamp, and dozens of strong men follow. Compared with Wu Yi is much more powerful this time.

The four white horses let go of their hooves, and auspicious clouds condensed around the carriage, faintly glowing with golden light. This was just a simple Qi-gathering spell, but it was enough to make ordinary people call them immortals when they saw it.

After passing through the vast plains and deep forests, the sky gradually darkened, leaving a faint fiery red on the horizon, and the sound of horse hooves stopped in front of a quiet mountain villa.

Wu Yi opened the curtain, got off the carriage, and stopped to watch. Fifteen miles east of Zhuangzi was Liucheng. It was rare to find such a good place, which meant to find peace in the midst of chaos.

The boy servants guarding the gate of Zhuangzi saw that the visitor was very graceful, and knew that it was the distinguished guest mentioned by the owner of the village before. They did not dare to neglect. One of them responded to the owner of the village, and the other quickly led Wu Yi's horse and kicked it, and Wu Yi did not go in. , given his status, the host needs to set up a battle to welcome him in, otherwise he will lose his reputation and may be impeached when he returns.

After a while, the host came out to welcome him, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra, which showed that he had been prepared for a long time.

The leader, a man in his forties, led dozens of servants and maids, and walked out slowly: "But Taoist Master Wu is here in person? I am the master of the villa, and I have been waiting here for a long time. If there is any discrepancy in the reception, please let me know. Please forgive me, Taoist priest."

This man is the second son of the owner of the villa, his name is Lin Yun. He wears finely crafted silk brocade clothes, and wears a jade ring on his left thumb. He has a loud voice, walks like a tiger, his eyes are shining, and he is smart and capable in dealing with others. The owner of the villa entrusted him with the management of the villa. It must be true.

The villa is called Shixian, but the Lin family of Shixian Villa is one of the largest families in Liucheng. It owns vast hectares of fertile land in various parts of the Dayu Kingdom, and hundreds of its descendants are engaged in business and officialdom.

Lin Yun's father was a high-ranking official who begged for his body. The prosperity of the Lin family was evident. Lin Yun's personal visit to greet him gave Wu Yi enough face.

Ten miles to the west of Shixian Villa is Dahuai Town, which is prone to Yin Qi. Due to the Yin Qi, nine out of ten residents in the town are gone. When Wu Yi entered the door, he found that there were many small tents set up in the Villa. Dinner was approaching and they were waiting in line to receive them. There are countless people eating porridge and rice at a glance. There are adults and children among them. At a glance, you can tell that there are more than a hundred people.

"Taoist Master Wu, originally my father wanted to come forward, but the evildoer in Dahuai Town next to the villa was causing trouble. Refugees poured into the villa, and the evildoers were predatory everywhere. It was about to spread to the villa. My father was worried and sleepless day and night, and he didn't think about tea or food. In the end, I got cold and was bedridden. This time, I asked the Taoist Master to use his magic power to subdue the demon and give us peace in Dahuai Town." Lin Yun pointed at the ragged refugees and said sincerely.

Before Wu Yi had time to answer, the refugees saw Wu Yi wearing Taoist robes. They knew he was coming from the same clan and did not share the porridge. They all gathered around Wu Yi. What they said was nothing more than complaining about their hardships and hoping that Wu Yi could drive away the monster. Give them some peace or something.

Wu Yi looked at the hope in their eyes when they looked at him, and was at a loss for a moment. Lin Yun understood the reason and said: "Everyone, please disperse. Since the immortal master is here, he will definitely drive away the evildoers. Don’t disturb the Immortal Master’s purity.”

Everyone made way for him and looked at each other. Finally, one of the white-haired old men took a step forward and said, "Master, I don't know any etiquette. I only know that you are here to save the people of Dahuai Town. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the villagers of Dahuai Town." He knelt down in front of Wu Yi and kowtowed. The people behind him also knelt down and kowtowed.

Hundreds of people knelt in front of Wu Yi and kowtowed. Some people didn't seem to feel their scalps bleeding. They just kept kowtowing. They didn't have the ability to deal with the evil spirits, so they had to put their hopes on Wu Yi. Kowtow became their only way to beg Wu Yi for help. Even the lonely Wu Yi was greatly touched and his eyes were filled with tears.

He bent down and helped the old man in front of him up. The old man was old and emotional, and staggered. Wu Yi hurriedly passed a stream of vitality to him, and the old man recovered.

Wu Yi said to the people in front of him: "I will definitely solve the monster as soon as possible." After all, Wu Yi did not dare to assert that he would be able to solve it without seeing the monster.

The people heard the answer they wanted, stood up and thanked him, and then left. Wu Yi was able to move forward.

Lin Yun is worthy of being the actual controller of Shixian Villa. Her level of dealing with people is pure and innocent. On the way, she flattered Wu Yi without leaving any trace, while explaining the problems in Dahuai Town clearly.

It turned out that almost three years ago, the big locust tree in the center of Dahuai Town often emitted black air. No matter whether it was people or animals, they would twitch their hands and feet, turn pale, and have dull eyes as if they had lost their souls.

The mayor at that time led dozens of townspeople to cut down the big locust tree, but the black air not only did not disappear, but burst out. If there was not a disciple from the Yiqi Sect who was present at the time and suppressed the black air in time, the whole Dahuai Town would be swallowed by the black air.

At this point, Lin Yun couldn't help but look frightened. As a neighbor of Dahuai Town, he also went to see such a big thing happening in Dahuai Town at that time. Although he didn't personally participate in the felling of the big locust tree, the scene of the black gas surging out still impressed him to this day.

However, although the black gas in Dahuai Town was suppressed, it was not eradicated. After that, Dahuai Town had black gas surging from time to time for as short as three months and as long as a year, and each time it was more serious than the last time. The area within 500 steps of the big locust tree almost became a white land until it had to be relocated now.

Wu Yi couldn't help but secretly gasp when he heard it. No wonder Sun Zhijie wanted him to come here, no wonder Li Gu asked him to save himself first. He didn't expect that the matter was so serious. Can he, a disciple with a nascent sense of qi, really solve it? Wu Yi was very skeptical, because the first person Lin Yun mentioned who suppressed the black gas was a familiar name-Li Tian. Li Tian was a person with four perfect changes, and he couldn't cure it. Wu Yi deeply felt Sun Zhijie's full of malice.

But the good news is that so far, no disciples have been heard of dying because of this.

But I can also take this opportunity to live here temporarily and ignore the undercurrent in the temple. Wu Yi held the Yin-Na Fu given to him by Li Gu, and the uneasy mentality in his heart gradually disappeared.

Lin Yun looked at Wu Yi's face and saw that he looked normal after listening to his words, and he was not afraid of the situation, so he nodded secretly.

At least there is a glimmer of hope, I hope not to go down that road. Lin Yun thought to himself.

Shixian Villa is brightly lit tonight, and there are a lot of people. One by one, the blue-clothed servants and pretty maids come in and out, with happy faces, because they know that the villa has invited the immortal master of Yiqimen, and the demons in Dahuai Town will be eliminated. In the future, they don't have to worry about whether the demons will come here every day.

So they are particularly attentive to their work today, for fear that a bad reception will annoy the immortal master.

Following Lin Yun, Wu Yi heard the pleasant sound of stringed instruments coming from all around, and in front of him were mahogany railings, carved railings and jade bricks, which were really magnificent.

Following Lin Yun into the hall, Wu Yi sat in the guest seat. The banquet had already been laid out here, with Fu Shou Yuan hanging in the middle. In the corner, the smoke from the incense burner was curling.

On the table, there were plates of delicacies, with good color, fragrance and taste. The food on each plate was enough for a middle-class family to afford after working hard for a month or even a year. In front of Wu Yi, there were hundreds of plates, not to mention those good wines that were known to be stored for a hundred years. The Lin family was rich and noble, vividly.

Everyone sat down, the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras was loud, and two rows of beauties appeared from the left and right screens, with beautiful women and beautiful clothes.

Wu Yi looked sideways and saw that they were all graceful and graceful, with jade-like skin. In the swaying lights, they didn't look like people in the world.

The so-called wealth and nobility are just like this, but the wealth and nobility in the world are ultimately fleeting and cannot last forever. Wu Yi himself was born into a noble family, but his grandfather was too strict, so he didn't have much experience when he was young, but he was not completely exposed to it. In addition, he entered the immortal gate, so he didn't care about these things. He was not as surprised as before, but simply looked at them with appreciation.

Seeing Wu Yi's behavior, Lin Yun knew that he couldn't tempt him with wealth and honor anymore, so he raised his cup and talked about anecdotes. The laughter of the two came from time to time during the banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lin Yun removed the stringed instruments and said: "Tomorrow, Taoist Wu will exorcise the demon. I won't bother you too much today. If you have something to do, you can use those servants."

Wu Yi replied: "Then I'll bother you."

Lin Yun nodded, and asked four maids to take Wu Yi to his residence to rest, and five strong men also followed.

Lin Yun actually arranged a separate courtyard for Wu Yi. It was thoughtful, and Wu Yi nodded secretly.

Pushing the door open, Wu Yi said to the four women who were guiding him: "It's OK, you can go down."

The four women agreed and left as they were told.

When Wu Yi entered the door, the strong men left two people to guard the door for Wu Yi, and the others went to rest first, and they would have to change shifts later.

Inside the door, a woman came up, in her twenties, with a high bun, willow eyebrows like distant mountains, and cherry lips. She was wearing a gauze dress and a red skirt, and her figure was graceful. She said weakly: "The second master asked me to change clothes for the Taoist priest."

Wu Yi frowned and said: "Monks don't change clothes, they just meditate, you can go down."

The girl wanted to say something, but when she saw Wu Yi's cold eyes, she trembled with fear and hurriedly retreated.

Wu Yi closed his eyes. How could he not know what Lin Yun meant? Just don't say that his yang essence is not solid, so he won't lose his virginity easily. What's more, Wu Yi has important things to do today, so how can he tolerate outsiders disturbing him.

Wu Yi had discovered from his previous conversation with Lin Yun that Lin Yun was just paying lip service to him and had no hope of him destroying the evildoer, so he took advantage of Lin Yun's inattention to secretly cast a visual and auditory spell, but with his magic power, he couldn't last long.

Wu Yi activated the spell hidden in Lin Yun, and a picture gradually emerged in front of him, but there were actually two people in the picture.

One of them was Lin Yun, and the other one was just Lin Yun calling his father.
