After leaving Zeng Mansion for another day, I waited until dusk, and smoke from cooking was curling, and a small village gradually appeared in front of me.

The huge rock standing at the entrance of the village was chiseled out of the word Gaojia with an awl.

With the power of a sword that day, I guess no matter how brave Jiu Qiansui is, he will not dare to cause trouble for the Zeng family again.

In addition, there was also sect affairs, so he only spent one night in Zeng's mansion. Li Yan took the initiative to come to Zeng Yuanchun and offered to say goodbye.

Even though Zeng Yuanchun tried every means to keep him, Li Yan still set foot on the official road to Shuofang City.

"Gaojia Village, Lishui County..."

Li Yan took out a pale yellow letter from his sleeve, and after confirming that it was correct, he dusted his clothes and walked towards the entrance of the village.

The letter was written by the Qingyang Temple in Shuofang City to a sect’s disciple of Qi Refining.

Just because the Taoist disciple was about to make a breakthrough and was unable to care about the troubles encountered by his old friend, he promised some Taoist skills to hang the task to the dormitory, which was also considered as a little friend.

This viewer was originally a Taoist disciple of Xunfeng Temple, but unfortunately he was defiled with the source energy when fighting with others, and he saw that the Tao was hopeless.

For such disciples, Xunfeng Temple generally has two ways to deal with them.

Those who are firm in the Tao will find a chore for him to earn some Taoist merit in order to one day be able to repair the Taoist foundation.

Others who are greedy for the secular world will give some money and send it down the mountain gate, build some foundation in the mortal world, and be the eyes and ears of the sects.

Those who have outstanding talents in the younger generation can also be recommended to the sect.

The owner of Qingyang Temple is the latter. This person leaned against Xunfeng Temple and relied on several techniques learned from the sect. He has gained great fame in the secular world over the years.

It's just a matter of letter, but it's not the area he is good at.

In desperation, he specially sent the letter to the sect to ask his friend who was well-versed in Taoism.

Putting aside the cumbersome narratives in the previous text, the other party only recorded a strange thing in the letter—

"In the spring of the 24th year of Yuanping, on the ninth day of the 20th month, a pale man came to the temple of the foolish brother to pray."

"This man was dressed very luxuriously, but his expression was flustered and confused. He also had a strange smell on his body. My foolish brother was kind-hearted and not greedy for money, so he kindly asked him what he wanted."

"This person said that he was busy with spring planting for one day and missed the time to go home, so he took a small road to the Lancang River. When he approached the river, he heard the sound of water. He saw a chaotic shadow hidden in the water. He called himself the Lancang River and begged for food. This person was afraid of the strange power and chaos and fled in the desert."

"For two days, every time a dog, pig, chicken, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, and pig, was lost. The man was very afraid and thought He Bo was resentful, so he asked his fool to do a method to open the altar and expel He Bo."

"It's just that my brother Yu has been doing the trick for three consecutive days and has not seen any trace of He Bo. He thought there was a robber crowing dog thieves in the same village, so he gave up. He didn't expect to think about this again in three days."

"I saw it again when I returned to Lishui County, but I denied the matter of He Bo. My foolish brother saw that the fishy smell was getting worse. The statue of Xuanjun worshipped at home was replaced by a father-in-law with a six-bearded fish body. It was probably because a fish demon was causing trouble. He used the name of He Bo to deceive the world."

The following words are basically boastful without nutrition.

Li Yan could see at a glance that the comfortable life of these years has made the other party lose their enterprising spirit, and he did not dare to explore even the traces of suspected fish demons.

He was afraid that the other party would take his anger to him, so he asked for help from the sect.

According to the rules, he should have gone to Qingyang Temple first and asked about the details of the fish demon's trouble.

But it was getting late and the gate of Shuofang City had already been closed. Unfortunately, Li Yan could only go straight to Lishui County and inquire about it, which would make it easier for him to have a clear idea.

Avoid hearing from the side will make you feel dark.

Passing the village entrance, thinking about how to ask someone to ask about the situation of the family, Li Yan suddenly saw a farmer carrying a hoe walking towards him on the path not far away, and a thought arose.

He took the initiative to greet the other party. Before he reached three feet in front of him, Li Yan suddenly bowed and said:

"Shan Fu Shou, I am the mysterious, and I traveled all the way through the treasure land. Seeing that there was no inn and courtyard in this area for several miles, I wanted to stay with my father for one night. I wonder if Shan Fu Shou could be convenient?"

The person who came was about 40 or 50 years old, with dark skin, thick joints on his hands, and calluses were gathered between his fingers. He looked like a farmer who was used to being a coolie.

It seemed that he didn't expect that there was a figure in front of him. The father-in-law was startled and subconsciously raised the hoe in his hand as a precaution.

Yong Guo admired Taoism. The person who saw clearly was a Taoist priest with beautiful eyes and had just let go of his guard.

"Although the family is not rich, they have no shortage of food and clothing. If the Taoist priest does not dislike simple food, I will go home with the old man."

A smile appeared on his face, and the old man bowed together and greeted him warmly.

"If you have great blessings, you will have to be tired. If you have good fortune and longevity, you will be kind and rewarded in the future."

This matter has been accomplished!

A hint of joy flashed across Li Yan's eyebrows, and he bowed and thanked again.

Along the way, the two of them chatted together.

"The Taoist priest should be from Qingyang Temple, right?"

The old man glanced at the little Taoist priest with a pretty face beside him and asked suddenly cunningly.

"How do lay people know!"

Li Yan looked surprised and pretended to be inexperienced.

"By the way, I haven't asked the layman's name yet."

Realizing that the old man was no longer wary of him, Li Yan intended to bring the relationship closer.

"The layman is not allowed to be a layman, so he is exempted from his surname Gao. Because he is ranked fourth in this generation, he is respectfully called the fourth uncle by the villagers. The Taoist priest called me Gao Laosi."

"As for why the old man knew that the Taoist priest was born, it was naturally because the Taoist priest Qingyangguan had been to our village a few days ago and had a full three days of rituals."

Gao Laosi repeatedly called out that he dared not make a fool of himself.

Although Li Yan claimed to be just a child, his graceful temperament could not deceive others, and the old man's voice became much more respectful.

From Gao Laosi, I learned that because most people in a radius of ten miles are from Gao, this village is also called Gaojia Village, and the neighbors in the village are more or less related.

The old man's house is at the west end of the village, with three thatched huts, one in and one out, living in the couple and the family of two sons.

Mr. Gao is 42 years old this year, and the two brothers are earning their first life again. Now they have already started a family and have added grandchildren to the elderly.

Speaking of grandson, the old man was obviously interested and spoke a lot more than before.

The old people these days are just enjoying their grandchildren’s wishes.

Li Yan was patient and listened to the old man showing off his grandson, which naturally made Old Man Gao feel that he was much closer.

After chatting for a while, Li Yan pretended to mention the rich man who asked Taoist Qingxu to do something. Unexpectedly, Old Man Gao just sneered.

"Just the prodigal son of the second-year high school donkey, who made evil money from somewhere, was pretending to be a slut."

"A year ago, his family was so poor that he couldn't get rid of the blame. If I hadn't stopped me, even his ancestral home might have been sold by him."
