As the ship docked, Bai Xiaowen and Li Changshou were escorted by a group of guards. Soon, they saw the unconscious Yu Dayou and the Quanzhen Daoist priest, Sun Xuanqing, meditating beside him.
Someone had already reported to Governor Hu Zongxian.
Sun Xuanqing opened his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiaowen. "Young Daoist, your Yin aura is heavy. It seems like the trip to Ghost Reef wasn't easy."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and took out a few pale white flowers. He handed them to Sun Xuanqing. "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you."
Sun Xuanqing nodded and took the Ghost Wormwood.
"Daoist priest, in order to obtain this Ghost Reef, I killed many fiendish demons. Among them were two powerful fiendish demon leaders." Bai Xiaowen blinked. "It's said that killing fiendish demons gives merit. Is that true?"
Sun Xuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Of course there's merit."
"But wouldn't I be robbing you of your merit? That's not right. Although I'm a Daoist cultivator, I'm a secular disciple. If I don't cultivate immortality, what's the point of having merit? Why don't I sell it to you? "Bai Xiaowen said.
Sun Xuanqing understood what Bai Xiaowen meant and chuckled. "I'm a man of no wealth. How can I buy your merit? Besides, it's not up to me to buy it. If you want to sell it, sell it to the owner. "
Bai Xiaowen curled his lips.
Li Shuyi asked through the team channel, "What riddles are you playing with this Daoist priest?"
"Nothing much. I just want to get some extra rewards. This old Daoist priest is so stingy. He pushed me to Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou. Forget it, I can only ask those two for the reward for the A-rank elite mission. "
In the spiritual world, especially in the ancient Hua Xia plane that worshipped the way of gentlemen, it was necessary to be thick-skinned. Anyway, it was not a loss if he did not get the reward. If he got it, it would be a gain. Even if this Quanzhen Daoist, Sun Xuanqing, gave him a reward, Bai Xiaowen would still look for Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou to ask for a reward. After all, it was better to catch as many sheep as possible.
In the Three Kingdoms Plane, Bai Xiaowen had implemented this principle. If he hadn't been so thick-skinned, how could Guan Yu have taught him and Li Shuyi twice?
Of course, being thick-skinned was under the premise that it didn't affect the interpersonal relationships. It had to be controlled well. If the favorable impression points were to be greatly reduced because of temporary benefits, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
Sun Xuanqing then said, "I'm going to cast a spell to expel the evil spirit for General Yu. Little Fellow Daoist Bai, stand guard for me. "
Bai Xiaowen gladly agreed.
This included Li Shuyi. She secretly curled her lips and left Yu Dayou's quiet room with a group of bodyguards who were eagerly looking around.
"Daoist Sun, let's begin."
"Alright. Little Fellow Daoist, please lift General Yu's quilt and help him change his clothes." Sun Xuanqing held the Ghost Wormwood in his hands and looked straight ahead.
Bai Xiaowen was speechless. So the job of being a guard sounded high and mighty, but in reality, it was just a menial job?
Bai Xiaowen lifted Yu Dayou's quilt and removed Yu Dayou's short shirt. On Yu Dayou's muscular chest, Bai Xiaowen could see a dark red wound. It was swollen to the height of two fingers and the size of a bowl. It was hard and hot to the touch.
Sun Xuanqing sighed. "Japanese Dharma artifacts blindly pursue fierceness and fierceness, but in reality, they are greedy and advance rashly. They are at a disadvantage."
Sun Xuanqing picked up a Ghost Wormwood and handed it to Bai Xiaowen. "Little Fellow Daoist, hold this Ghost Wormwood and stand beside General Yu. Don't sway in the slightest."
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
Sun Xuanqing took a deep breath. He clenched his five fingers and madly jabbed Yu Dayou's body.
As he jabbed Yu Dayou's chest like raindrops, the wound on Yu Dayou's chest swelled even more. Faint crimson fog rose in spirals, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
However, this crimson fog seemed to be attracted and rose in spirals. At the same time, the Ghost Wormwood also emitted white fog. It intersected with the crimson fog and condensed into steam.
Bai Xiaowen heard a boom in his ears and an illusion appeared before his eyes. In a daze, he saw a dark red sharp sword slashing toward his face! He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he remembered Sun Xuanqing's instructions and stopped abruptly. He stood still.
With a boom, the dark red sharp sword struck Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen's 44 points of mental strength came into play. He was not affected at all and the illusion dissipated.
Sun Xuanqing nodded approvingly. "Little Fellow Daoist, your foundation is not shallow." He grabbed Yu Dayou's shoulder with one hand and lifted him up forcefully. The unconscious Yu Dayou was forced to sit up from lying on his back.
Sun Xuanqing took a step forward and arrived behind Yu Dayou. Then, he unleashed another round of finger techniques on Yu Dayou's back like raindrops.
"Puff!"
Yu Dayou opened his mouth and spat out a dark red blood clot. The lump on his chest shot out wisps of fire force. They were like agile snakes and were slowly absorbed by the Ghost Wormwood.
Seeing that the Ghost Wormwood's originally pale white flower had turned crimson, Sun Xuanqing said in a low voice, "Change the medicine."
Bai Xiaowen was prepared. He grabbed a second Ghost Wormwood and replaced it.
Sun Xuanqing said, "The fire poison is strong and needs to be neutralized with an item of extreme Yin. Otherwise, even if General Yu survives, I'm afraid his martial arts will be crippled …"
His explanation was naturally for Bai Xiaowen to hear.
At this moment, the fire force in his chest erupted and spurted out blood. The fierce fire force evaporated the blood and turned it into a crimson mist. The Ghost Wormwood neutralized and neutralized it.
Yu Dayou suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "It hurts so much!" He subconsciously punched out.
The target of this punch was Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen cursed under his breath. He could only summon a Skeleton Sword-Shield Hand to take the blow.
Clang!
The Skeleton Sword-Shield Hand turned into broken bones and flew out. Yu Dayou's fist did not weaken and smashed into Bai Xiaowen's chest.
Bai Xiaowen felt as if he had been hit by a train. If he took the opportunity to retreat, he would not suffer too much damage. However, Sun Xuanqing had said that the Ghost Wormwood could not be shaken at all. Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to take the remaining force of the punch.
With a buzzing sound, Bai Xiaowen felt his ears ring. He almost vomited blood. Fortunately, he had Life Sharing. Although he suffered more than eighty points of damage, he only received forty to fifty points of damage. He could still take it.
Although Yu Dayou's chest was in severe pain, the original lump had already subsided. After the initial punch, he looked around in confusion.
Sun Xuanqing stopped and smiled. "General Yu, you've been asleep for many days. You're finally awake."
"Where … am I?" Yu Dayou asked a very cliché question.
"You're in bed." Bai Xiaowen rubbed his aching chest and said with a pout.
"…"
The bodyguards who had been waiting outside heard Yu Dayou's voice and squeezed in.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
The room was full of bodyguards kneeling on the ground. Yu Dayou looked around and finally came to his senses. "How long have I been unconscious?"
A familiar voice came from outside the door. "Zhifu, you've been unconscious for more than half a month. If it weren't for Zhenren Sun's help, I'm afraid you wouldn't have woken up!"
The door opened and the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, strode in. Behind him was Xu Wei. Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei had arrived when Sun Xuanqing was exorcising the evil spirit. However, they were worried that they would disturb Sun Xuanqing, so they waited outside the door.
When Yu Dayou saw that his superior had come to greet him, he quickly turned around and wanted to get out of bed.
Hu Zongxian hurriedly stopped him. "Zhifu's injuries haven't healed yet. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
"I'm not properly dressed. I've made a fool of myself in front of you," Yu Dayou said.
On the other side, Sun Xuanqing had already called for a doctor to bandage Yu Dayou's wounds. Then, Yu Dayou put on a tight-fitting shirt. Finally, the people in the room didn't have to look at his muscular chest.
Zhang Ting and the others stepped forward and helped Yu Dayou put on his clothes. At the same time, they briefly explained to Yu Dayou that after he fell unconscious, Hu Zongxian invited the Quanzhen Daoist, Sun Xuanqing, to treat him. It just so happened that Zhenren Bai Xiaowen had returned from killing the Japanese and accepted the task of collecting herbs. Then, Sun Xuanqing exorcised the evil spirit …
Yu Dayou sat on the bed and clasped his hands. "Thank you, Zhenren Sun, for saving my life."
Sun Xuanqing waved his hand and said, "There's no need to thank me. Just thank your Supervisor … Oh, and Bai Xiaowen. The punch you gave me when you just woke up really gave me a fright. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Bai has a strong foundation. Even after taking your punch, he didn't move at all and didn't break the exorcism ritual. "
Yu Dayou finally remembered the scene when he woke up. With an apologetic expression, he apologized to Bai Xiaowen.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen said that he didn't mind.
The rules of the Spiritual Realm prompted him:
"The favorability of Yu Dayou, the general of the Anti-Japanese Army, towards you has increased. Current favorability level: Friend."
Bai Xiaowen secretly felt that the punch was worth it. Judging from the strength of the punch, Yu Dayou's strength had surpassed the King of Black Zombie and the White Ghost. He was probably a "Rare Leader" level master. It wasn't easy to gain the favorability of such a master.
Everyone chatted for a while. Hu Zongxian said, "Zhenren, you deserve the most credit for Zhifu waking up. I will submit a memorial to His Majesty to report your meritorious service. "His tone was rather polite to Sun Xuanqing.
Sun Xuanqing nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Governor."
Hu Zongxian continued, "Bai Xiaowen, you went to the pirate's lair to pick the spiritual herbs. Your contribution is not small either. If you were in my army, I would definitely report this to the Imperial Court and give you a promotion. Unfortunately, you don't want to do that. I can only thank you with gold and silver. "
The rules of the Spiritual Realm prompted him:
"Rank A elite side mission: Herb Hunt has been completed."
"Your reputation in the Anti-Japanese Army has increased. Current level: Respected."
"You've received 3000 merit points."
"You've received 10 refined gold ingots and 50 snow-white silver ingots."
The rewards of this Rank A elite side mission were really generous. The gold and silver ingots could be taken out of the Spiritual Realm. It was a completely different concept compared to the cargo Bai Xiaowen seized.
Of course, the reason why Hu Zongxian gave Bai Xiaowen so readily was also related to the cargo he handed over.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Sir, this is the reply letter. Please take a look."
Hu Zongxian took Wang Cuiqiao's reply letter and looked around at everyone in the room. Yu Dayou didn't notice, so Xu Wei could only say, "General Yu, the Governor is going to discuss a confidential matter. Please ask your servants to leave."
Yu Dayou understood and hurriedly asked Zhang Ting and the others to leave.
Sun Xuanqing said, "Then I'll take my leave too."
"Zhenren, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I didn't mean to hide this military matter from you. I'll need your help later." Hu Zongxian hurriedly asked him to stay.
Sun Xuanqing shook his head. "I'm just a monk. How can I get involved in military matters? I was invited here to treat the patient. Now that General Yu has woken up and has a doctor to treat him, he'll recover in a few days. There's no need for me to stay. "
After a pause, Sun Xuanqing looked at Bai Xiaowen and said, "Little friend, I'm going to the capital to pray for rain. I wonder if you'd like to go with me?"
Hearing this, everyone in the room was a little surprised.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Zhenren, you're really powerful. You can summon the wind and rain. Isn't that like an immortal? I don't have this ability, so I won't get involved. "
Sun Xuanqing said with a smile, "What do you mean by summoning the wind and rain? If it's a small storm, I can still do it. But His Majesty wants to relieve the drought in Shandong and Henan. This is the operation of the brilliant Heavenly Way. Except for those legendary powerful people who have the true secrets of the Immortal Way, who else has this ability?"
"Then why are you still going to pray for rain?" Bai Xiaowen said, "What if it doesn't work and you're punished by His Majesty?"
Sun Xuanqing said with a smile, "Although I don't know how to pray for rain, I know how to look at the Qi and observe the weather. I can roughly predict when it will rain. As long as I build an altar and pray for rain at that time, won't I be the one to pray for rain? "
"Brilliant, brilliant." Bai Xiaowen was impressed.
As for Sun Xuanqing saying the key points in front of Xu Wei, Hu Zongxian, and the others, it was not strange. Sun Xuanqing only needed the Emperor to believe him. It didn't matter if the others believed him or not.
Besides, Hu Zongxian would not expose him for no reason. The current Emperor, Jiajing Emperor, believed in Taoism. What was the use of exposing him? Sun Xuanqing himself had Taoist magic. If he could make artificial rain in a small area, would the Emperor believe him?
If he believed Sun Xuanqing, then Hu Zongxian would be in trouble.
Therefore, a smart person like Governor Hu would never expose him. On the contrary, he would praise Sun Xuanqing's contribution to fighting against the Japanese in the memorial. After all, he had a personal relationship with Sun Xuanqing. If Sun Xuanqing was favored by the Emperor, he would have another way.
"It seems like you don't want to go with me." Sun Xuanqing shook his head.
Bai Xiaowen felt a little regretful, "Enlightened Master, I came to help Governor Hu because of righteous indignation. As long as the Japanese are not treated unfairly, I will not be able to get over this hurdle in my heart. I hope you can forgive me." How could he not feel regretful? It was obvious that Sun Xuanqing's clue could be dug deeper.
However, if the main mission was not completed, everything would be in vain. Bai Xiaowen could only reluctantly refuse.
Sun Xuanqing nodded and said, "As a cultivator, the most taboo thing is to be stubborn. Since you have this ambition, then do your best."
Hu Zongxian sent Sun Xuanqing to the door and sent him a carriage. The soldiers surrounded him. However, Sun Xuanqing refused all of them. He only took twenty taels of medicine and rode a mule to the capital alone.
