Chapter 85
If you can be put down the mountain by the sect, you must at least have the strength to refine Qi.
The boy in front of him looks very young, but he can have such strength, so he should not be underestimated.
"Fellow Daoist Chanxuan, I wonder if Brother Yuji is safe in the near future?"
Xu Xiuyuan bowed to Li Yan and couldn't wait to ask about his friend's recent situation.
Yuji Taoist is Xu Xiuyuan's clan brother in the fifth squad, but his talent is much higher than that of him. He is over fifty years old and is at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
If you gain something from this retreat, you will be the Taoist disciple who has the most hope of becoming an inner scene since Xunfeng Temple for a hundred years.
Although the layman name and name have been restored, he has even married and had children, this does not mean that Xu Xiuyuan is not concerned about the affairs of the sect.
He knew that his wealth and honor came from the sect. Even though he had been down the mountain for many years, this person did not forget to write letters to his clan brothers from time to time to maintain friendship.
Li Yan was also quite surprised when he received the commission.
The Taoist Yuji was about to be in seclusion, and he was still thinking about finding a helper for this clan brother. He even spent fifteen points of Taoist skills on this, which was enough to show how good Xu Xiuyuan had done in this area.
"Brother Yuji is so happy. But a few days ago, I felt that the breakthrough was about to break through, so I closed my door and practiced without getting out easily, so I offered a reward for the fellow Taoists in the dormitory."
"If you don't have a talent, you will be able to take a look at the air, so you can volunteer to go down the mountain to take a walk for Brother Yuji."
After understanding the reason for Li Yan's arrival, Xu Xiuyuan's joy on his face increased a little.
After solemnly invited Li Yan to Qingyang Temple, the two of them finally got to the point.
"In this way, fellow Taoist has been to Gaojia Village, and I believe he has discovered the clues."
When Xu Xiuyuan heard Li Yan ask about the situation at Gao Minghan's home, he smiled and seemed not surprised at all.
"Have you ever seen that statue of Hebo?"
While speaking, Xu Xiuyuan's eyes pretended to sweep across Li Yan's face unintentionally.
"I am still very weak in my cultivation and dare not go deep into the tiger's den alone. I hope that fellow Taoist Qingxu can go with me this time."
Li Yan put down the tea presented by the Taoist boy in his hand and said with confidence.
Xu Xiuyuan was stunned. It was the first time he had seen someone say so frankly after he lived at these ages.
But after all, he was an old man. Soon he covered up the surprise on his face, laughed and blew away the topic.
Xu Xiuyuan talked to Li Yan for a few more times, and used the excuse of returning to his residence to get some magic weapons in case of emergency, so he stood up.
Just the moment he turned around, the Taoist suddenly restrained his smile and showed a look of hesitation on his face.
...
"I went to the Gao family to do the same thing that day. At first, it was normal. But I noticed that the people in the Gao family looked anxious, so I asked my apprentice to find a look of honest fear when the master was unprepared. Cough cough, I knew it with emotion and reason."
On the official road, a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly drove towards Gaojia Village.
One of the old men was talking about it, and it was Xu Xiuyuan who walked out of Anyang Prefecture City.
Realizing that he seemed to have missed his mouth, the goatee-bearded Taoist priest smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Li Yan's expression was as usual, he coughed lightly and continued.
"You know what happened? Just one night before I came, a servant of the Gao family disappeared in his house. The bed was wet. My apprentice also pulled out a water plant from his bed."
"But when I used this matter to prove it, this person denied it, asserting that there was no such servant in the house, and even scolded the talkative servant fiercely."
"After all, I am the one who is also rich and can eliminate disasters for others. It is hard to interfere in other people's private affairs. But after all, it is the village. I can't sit still and watch, so I have to write a letter to fellow Taoist Yuji."
"He is quite good at finding the qi, and he might be able to find clues that I haven't noticed."
Xu Xiuyuan's answer was also very righteous.
Li Yan always felt that something was wrong here. A Taoist disciple who could not bear the loneliness and went down the mountain to pursue secular fame and fortune would be willing to take advantage of his favor for his neighbors and hometowns?
"My fellow Taoist saw Gao Minghan twice, did he notice something strange?"
However, the other party had not yet revealed the fox's tail, and Li Yan also kept striking indirectly.
"When talking about something strange..."
Xu Xiuyuan picked up the goatee and recalled it carefully.
"I have thought that, first, the fishy smell on this person is much heavier than last time, and second, seeing my attitude has also changed drastically compared to last time."
Xu Xiuyuan immediately exclaimed in surprise, looking like he suddenly realized.
"When I was reminded by fellow Taoist this, I remembered that this boy was still respectful when he saw me in the Taoist temple for the first time, but when he met again the second time, this boy's attitude towards me was quite bad."
"I think something happened in the middle of the day."
Taoist Qingxu said confidently.
Li Yan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and the carriage quickly fell into silence.
"But with your and my cultivation, even if you can't handle the demon disaster here, it will not be difficult to escape. At that time, you only need to report to a few masters in the inner scene, and that monster will be surrendered."
After a while, perhaps seeing the atmosphere in the car was too depressing, the old Taoist suddenly smiled and joked.
Xu Xiuyuan is a Taoist disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Although he has been indulging in pleasure over the years, his source energy has been defiled by the secular world and there is no possibility of further progress, but his strength in the middle stage of Qi Refining cannot be underestimated.
In addition, the Taoist skills accumulated over the years on the mountain were replaced by Taoist magic tools, which was far from comparable to Li Yan, who only knew two auxiliary Taoist techniques. This is also the confidence of the Taoist to take Li Yan to visit the Gao family three times.
"Master, Gaojia Village has arrived."
After a long bumpy ride, the carriage finally stopped.
A honest and humming voice came in from outside the carriage.
Li Yan uncovered the silk cloth on the side of the carriage that blocked the wind and sand. The peaceful and peaceful fishing village not far from the Lancang River came into view, and it seemed that there was no difference from when he left.
Just by attaching the true qi to his eyes, the thick black aura suddenly entrenched above Gaojia Village, and there was even a faint tendency to erode and expand.
Li Yan just took a look and felt irritated. He quickly removed the true qi in his eyes and closed his eyes to calm down.
"Fellow Daoist Chanxuan, but what clues have been seen?"
Seeing Li Yan's face solemn, Xu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but his left hand had already reached into his sleeve and secretly held a talisman.
"Fellow Daoist Qingxu, it seems that the head of the Gao family is not very welcome to us!"
Li Yan also placed the talisman sword where he could pull it out with his hand, always in case of accidents.
After making full preparations, the two of them entered the village carefully.
Xu Xiuyuan seemed to be quite famous in the Anyang area. As soon as he entered the village, villagers would greet him from time to time and bow. The Taoist did not have the temperament of practicing Qi and Zhenxiu, and he also turned around and bowed with a smile.
