"So it's Senior Niu!" The two Taoist priests cupped their fists and greeted him again.
After that, Bao Xin said, "Senior, after killing the City God, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we shouldn't stay here for long. Why don't we move now?"
Miao Yi originally wanted to agree, but when he looked at the sky outside, he reckoned that it was almost dawn after chatting for an entire night. He turned back to look at Old Liu, who was sleeping soundly, and felt that it wouldn't make much of a difference. If he wanted to be a good person, he had to act like one, right?
Thus, he said with slight hesitation, "Let's wait for daybreak before leaving. This is the first time I've stepped into the secular world, and it's quite tiring for this old man to guide me. How can I leave him here alone? If something happens, wouldn't I be harming him? It's better to wait for him to wake up and send him back."
When the two Daoist priests heard this, they were once again filled with deep veneration. Look at this person's character. With such a high cultivation, he could actually stand guard for an ordinary mortal.
"Senior's benevolent heart is worthy for us juniors to learn from!" The two of them bowed respectfully again.
Miao Yi waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't worth mentioning.
Early in the morning, Old Man Liu slowly woke up. Miao Yi and the other two who were sitting cross-legged in meditation turned to look at him. Their gazes met, and Old Man Liu quivered. He quickly crawled up and kowtowed, "This old man had eyes but failed to recognize the Great Immortal. Please forgive me, Great Immortal."
Miao Yi stood up and personally helped her up. "There's no need to be so courteous. This isn't your fault. I was the one who intentionally hid it from you."
Unexpectedly, just as he lifted him up, Old Liu knelt down again and begged, "Great Immortal, the Liujia Village that I live in is located in the Sifang Mountain, fifty miles away from the city. In recent years, demons and ghosts have wreaked havoc. Many of the girls, young men, and cattle in the village have been taken away. They even forced us to offer pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks as tributes every month. Everyone in the Liujia Village is suffering unspeakably, but we dare not say anything. Great Immortal has great magical powers, please uphold justice for the Liujia Village!"
"There's such a thing!" Bao Ning and Bao Xin stood up angrily and shouted, "Does the Mountain God and the Earth God not care?"
Old Man Liu said sorrowfully, "I've never seen him do anything."
Come on! Miao Yi thought to himself, 'Kindness truly begets kindness. This wait has given these two Daoist priests the chance to subdue the demon.'
"Senior!" The two Daoist priests looked towards Miao Yi. Naturally, Miao Yi nodded his head in a righteous manner.
Therefore, the group prepared to go to the Liu Clan Village. Old Liu refused to give up on the brocade quilt, so he packed it up and prepared to bring it back. Miao Yi was speechless. 'That's my blanket, alright? Do you really think you're from this shabby house?
However, it was not a big deal. He was used to being extravagant, and it was unlikely that he would use blankets that had been used by others. He might as well reward Old Liu with all the gold and silverware that he had used to eat and drink. This made Old Liu extremely grateful.
As soon as they walked out of the abandoned house, they saw a group of officials blocking the end of the road. The group of people surrounded a sedan chair and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Xu Liu, who had left last night, ran over. He cupped his fists towards Miao Yi and said, "Master. My princess has personally come to have a talk with you. "
"About what?" Miao Yi frowned.
The curtain of the luxurious palanquin was lifted open, and a young woman dressed in an embroidered robe and adorned with jewels and jewels walked out. She had a plump figure, a fair complexion, and a graceful temperament. The people around her were about to follow her, but she waved her hand and dismissed them. She walked over alone, looking rather bold.
She came. Xu Liu hurriedly stepped aside, while Old Liu knelt down in fear.
"Commoner Yin Xianglian greets Master and the two Daoists." The princess cupped her fists in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Greetings, Princess!" Bao Ning and Bao Xin cupped their fists in return.
Miao Yi looked at the two Daoists and frowned, "May I know why Princess is looking for me?"
The princess smiled gracefully, "I heard that I have a cousin with profound transcendence energy, so I came to meet you. May I know your name?"
'This princess is really humorous!' Miao Yi chuckled, "The city gate guards have strict checks. It was just a joke. Don't take it seriously, Princess."
The princess shook her head, "I wasn't joking. I did come to meet you. If Master doesn't mind, I still lack a Revered Master. I'm willing to take care of Master. "
It seemed like she had personally come to meet him! Miao Yi laughed, "My cultivation is shallow, I don't need Princess to take care of me." He pulled Old Liu up and turned to leave.
However, the princess shouted from behind, "From what I know, Master killing the City God is not a small matter. Although the Liang Household is made up of commoners, they still have some power in the secular world. All the Gods will have to give them some face, so they can help Master avoid any worries. Won't Master reconsider? "
"I have my own way. There is no need for Princess to worry!" Miao Yi laughed with his back facing her. 'Commoners want me to work for them? What a joke. I didn't come here to play around. '
He didn't want to say anything else. He pulled Old Liu and suddenly flew over the roof. Bao Ning and Bao Xin also flew up and followed after him.
The princess looked at the disappearing figures and sighed softly.
Xu Liu advised from the side, "There is no need for Princess to lower yourself. When the day comes when His Highness rules over the world and becomes the Son of Heaven, there will naturally be cultivators coming to join him."
The princess sighed, "The winner takes all. The difficulty lies in the moment when the emperor rules over the world! Before the situation is clear, the cultivation sects that occupy the land of the gods will not easily stand against the imperial court. Otherwise, the imperial court can revoke their fiefs with a single imperial edict. His Highness is currently leading the army on the frontlines, bathed in blood. He needs help from capable people. Even if there is an expert accompanying him to take care of his safety, that would be good enough! "
Xu Liu said, "With Venerable Golden Light by his side, it will be difficult for evil spirits to harm His Highness."
The princess gave him a sidelong glance and said, "If you want to rule over the world, why should you be afraid of having more extraordinary people by your side?"
On the other side, Miao Yi and Old Man Liu had already returned to the bustling bazaar. The two of them retrieved the donkey cart they had left behind and left the city. Miao Yi was still sitting on the cart behind, swaying back and forth.
After leaving the city for a dozen miles, Bao Ning and Bao Xin, who had agreed on a rendezvous point, jumped out of the forest on their dragon steeds and slowly trotted to the side. As soon as the dragon steeds appeared, the lazy donkey pulling the cart was so frightened that it ran a lot faster.
After running for about twenty miles on the official road, and then turning onto the mountain road for another dozen miles, they finally arrived at a small village hidden in the depths of the mountains — Liu Village!
The mountains were green, the water was green, the fields were filled with firewood, and the paths were filled with farmers. It was a peaceful scene. Normally, no one would be able to tell that there were Demonic Ghosts running amok here.
When they arrived at Old Liu's house, Bao Ning and Bao Xin couldn't wait to subdue the evil. The first step was to drag Old Liu to the village to collect evidence from the villagers, and record the evil deeds of the Demonic Ghosts here. This was because they wouldn't kill the innocent, and they would have to answer to their sect when they returned.
Miao Yi was not interested in going from house to house in the village. Only the two Taoist priests would be able to record the evil deeds of the Demonic Ghosts one by one with a pen and paper. To Miao Yi, it was an unnecessary action. However, he respected the way the two handled things, so he didn't run around. Instead, he sat in Old Liu's small courtyard, basking in the sun. Occasionally, his ears would twitch, and he could hear the cries of a certain family, begging the two Taoist priests to save their daughter.
Old Liu's son and daughter-in-law were pouring tea at the side. The only dried fruit pancakes in the house were also served to the guests. Miao Yi casually took a piece as a taste. He took a bite and chewed it in his mouth, asking, "The village encountered some trouble. Didn't you guys invite someone to solve it before?"
The Liu family looked at the person in front of them with reverence. They felt that this person didn't seem like a sorcerer. He sat elegantly on the chair and crossed his legs, but then they heard Old Liu whisper. This was the most powerful sorcerer among the three. He could easily take care of Old Lord Shing Wong with a single slap.
Hearing this, Old Liu's son said in a low voice, "We invited them twice. There were Taoist priests and monks, but they never returned after entering the mountain. They were killed by the demons. After that, the demons came back to take revenge on our village, so no one dared to invite them again."
Miao Yi nodded slightly, understanding. It seemed that the transcendence energy of the demons wasn't low. He asked again, "Don't we have the Mountain God and the Earth God?"
Old Liu's son said in a low voice, "It was useless. Later on, the village converted to the Door God, but it was still useless."
There weren't many people in the village. It didn't take much time to walk around. After about an hour, Bao Ning and Bao Xin, who had collected the evidence, came back angrily. Behind them was a group of villagers with faces full of anticipation.
"Senior, if we don't get rid of this demon, the heavens will not tolerate it! We will immediately go up the mountain to search! "Bao Ning cupped his fists and said solemnly.
"Do what you think should be done." Miao Yi nodded. He really wasn't used to being surrounded by a group of villagers like this.
"Who is willing to lead the way?" Bao Xin turned and asked. The group of villagers immediately retreated.
In the end, they could only ask Old Liu to lead the way.
The sound of the dragon steeds' hooves thundered. Miao Yi, who was sitting at the back, patted Bao Ning's shoulder, "You guys slow down. This old man can't take such a jolt."
Old Liu, who was sitting behind Bao Xin, was already frightened by the ferocious speed of the dragon steeds.
Old Liu also didn't know where the demons were in the mountain. Under Bao Ning's question, he pointed to the location of the Earth Temple.
At the side of a small mountain path, they found the old Earth Temple and jumped down from it.
The Earth Temple hadn't received any incense for a long time. There were no signs of incense burning, so it was probably long gone. Miao Yi squinted his eyes and stared at an old locust tree behind the Earth Temple. He could faintly see a demonic aura lingering around it.
The two Senior Brothers could obviously see it too. Dong! Bao Ning stomped his foot heavily, invoked his arts and shouted, "Where is the Earth Temple!"
The old locust tree behind the Earth Temple rustled and instantly shrank, turning into the appearance of an old man with the Earth Token hanging on his waist. Old Liu was so shocked that he fell to the ground and worshipped.
The Earth Temple's old man swept a glance at them with his hands behind his back, and coldly said, "The Earth Temple is here. Which magician dares to make a fuss here?"
Bao Ning pointed at him and reprimanded, "As the ruler of the land, you should be intimidating the demons. The Liu Village is under your jurisdiction. Why do you let the demons do their evil deeds and do nothing?"
The Earth Temple's old man raised his nose and said, "It's true that the Liu Village is under the jurisdiction of the Earth Temple, but they don't respect the Earth Temple. Instead, they worship the Door God. How can this Earth Temple endure it? Then why do you need to look for me? Go look for the Door God."
Old Liu was even more terrified when he heard this. He bowed deeply and didn't get up.
"Nonsense!" Bao Xin angrily rebuked, "Are you trying to bully us? It's your Earth Temple's inaction that the Liu Village had no choice but to change their faith to the Door God. "
The Earth Temple's old man was instantly enraged when the truth was exposed. He pointed back and shouted, "Where did this magician come from? How dare you yell at the Heavenly Court's Commander? Do you have any respect for the laws of heaven? I order you to leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame the Earth Temple for being impolite! "
After saying this, he coldly snorted. His figure flashed, and he turned back into the old locust tree.
Bao Ning and Bao Xin were furious, but they couldn't do anything to him. However, Old Liu didn't know where the demon was either. They could only cup their hands and ask the Earth Temple, "May I ask the Earth Lord, where is the evil demon?"
The old locust tree didn't move and ignored them.
