Dedicate One’s Mind

It's 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 willows in the stream are shaded, 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 as if he had been 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 strong man 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 ones in the front cleared the way and chased 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 kept watching the carriage leave their sight. Even the young children couldn't help but stop. In this way, we can see the power of Yiqimen in Daewoo Kingdom.

When Wu Yi first received the task of clearing the turbid air, he 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. Don't think about it anymore.

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 things 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 Qi. He is far worse than those professors and elders in the sect. Those people go out, ride on clouds and flying boats, with fairy girls holding fans, golden boys holding lamps, and dozens of strong men following them. 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 head 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 vigorously, 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 all over 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 can be seen. Lin Yun's personal visit to greet him was a sign of giving Wu Yi some face.

Ten miles to the west of Shixian Villa is Dahuai Town, where yin often occurs. Due to the yin, nine out of ten residents in the town have lost their lives. 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 collect 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, my father originally wanted to come forward, but the monster in Dahuai Town next to the villa is causing trouble. Refugees are pouring into the villa, and the monsters are preying on everyone. It is about to affect the villa. My father is worried day and night, and he doesn't think about tea or food. In the end, I got cold and was bedridden. This time, I asked the Taoist priest 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 and knew that he was coming from the same family. They didn't bother to 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 evil spirits. Don’t disturb the Immortal Master’s purity.”

After hearing the words, everyone stepped aside in a circle and looked at each other. Finally, one of the white-haired old men was the representative. He stepped forward tremblingly and said: "Immortal Master, I don't know any etiquette. I only know that the Immortal Master is On behalf of all the villagers in Dahuai Town, the little old man came to save our people in Dahuai Town and thanked him." As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Wu Yi and kowtowed. The people behind him also knelt down and kowtowed.

At one time, hundreds of people knelt down in front of Wu Yi and kowtowed. Some people even seemed not to notice when their scalps were bleeding. They just remembered that if they kept kowtowing, they did not have the ability to deal with the evildoer, so they had to pin their hopes on Wu Yi. , and kowtow became the only way for them to express their gratitude to Wu Yi. Even the lonely Wu Yi was greatly touched and tears filled his eyes.

He bent down and helped up the old man in front of him. The old man was already very old, and he was suddenly agitated and staggered. Wu Yi hurriedly channeled a stream of energy and the old man recovered.

Wu Yi said to the people in front of him: "I will definitely deal with the monster as soon as possible." After all, he did not see the monster, so Wu Yi did not dare to insist that he would be able to solve it.

After hearing the answer they wanted, the people stood up and thanked him before retreating. Wu Yi was able to move on.

Lin Yun was worthy of being the actual controller of Leisure Villa. He treated people with warmth and sincerity. On the way, while flattering Wu Yi without any trace, he explained clearly the problems that occurred in Dahuai Town.

It turned out that almost three years ago, the big locust tree in the center of Dahuai Town often emitted black air. When humans and animals were exposed to the black air, their limbs twitched, their faces were pale, and their eyes were dull, as if they had lost their souls.

The mayor at that time led dozens of townspeople to chop down the big locust tree. Unexpectedly, the black energy not only did not disappear, but spurted out. If it hadn't been for the presence of a disciple from the Yiqi Sect at that time, he could suppress the black energy in time. The whole Dahuai Town will be swallowed up by the black energy.

Speaking of this, Lin Yun couldn't help but have a look of fear on his face. As a neighbor of Dahuai Town, when such a big thing happened in Dahuai Town, he also went to see it. Although he did not personally participate in cutting down the big locust tree, the scene of black gas gushing out It still impresses him to this day.

However, although the black air in Dahuai Town was suppressed, it was not eradicated. After that, the black air in Dahuai Town was as short as three months and as long as a year. The black air often surged up and became more serious each time. It almost became a white space until it developed to the point where it now has to be relocated.

Wu Yi couldn't help but secretly gasped. No wonder Sun Zhijie asked him to come here. No wonder Li Gu asked him to protect himself first. He didn't expect the matter to be so serious. Can a disciple like him really solve it? Wu Yi was very suspicious, because the first person Lin Yun mentioned who suppressed the black energy was a familiar name-Li Tian. Li Tian was a person with perfect four transformations, and he could not cure him. Wu Yi deeply felt Sun Zhijie's full malice.

But the good news is that so far I have not heard of any disciples losing their lives due to this.

But I can also take this opportunity to live here temporarily and ignore the undercurrent in the view. Wu Yi held the Yin-taking Talisman presented to him by Li Gu, and the uneasiness in his chest gradually disappeared.

Lin Yun looked at Wu Yi's face and saw that his face remained as usual after listening to his words. He was not timid at the scene, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

At least there's a glimmer of hope that we won't go down that road. Lin Yun thought.

Shixian Villa is brightly lit tonight and the crowds are bustling. A young man in green clothes and a pretty maid are coming in and out, with joy on their faces, because they know that the Villa has invited a group of immortal masters to come down, and the demons in Dahuai Town are about to be destroyed. After eradicating it, you no longer have to worry about whether the monster will come here every day.

Therefore, they were extra attentive to their work today, for fear that a bad reception would offend the immortal master.

Following Lin Yun, Wu Yi heard the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo coming from all around. In front of him was the mahogany railing, carved with jade, which was really magnificent.

Following Lin Yun into the hall, Wu Yi sat in the guest seat. The banquet had already been laid out, with the Fushou Garden hanging in the middle, and smoke from the incense burner curling up in the corner.

On the table, there are plates of delicacies, all in color and aroma. The food on each plate is enough for someone to work hard for a month or even a year to afford it. But Wu Yi has hundreds of plates in front of him, not to mention those that smell the aroma. You know it is a fine wine that has been stored in cellars for hundreds of years, and the Lin family is luxurious and noble.

As everyone sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras played loudly, and two rows of beauties appeared from the screens on the left and right, with orioles and swallows, and flowers blooming.

Wu Yi looked sideways and saw all of them curling up and down, with jade and ice skin, and the lights were flickering. They did not look like human beings.

Bells ringing and cauldrons eating, the so-called rich and noble are nothing more than this, but wealth in the world is fleeting and cannot last forever. Wu Yi himself was born in a noble family, but his grandfather was too strict. He didn't have much experience in these things when he was young, but he didn't have any contact with them. In addition, after joining the Immortal Sect, he didn't care about these things anymore. Instead of being as surprised as before, I simply looked at it with admiration.

Seeing Wu Yi's behavior, Lin Yun understood that he could no longer lure him with wealth, so he raised his glass and talked freely about anecdotes. The laughter of the two people could be heard from time to time during the banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lin Yun removed the bamboo shoots and said, "Tomorrow, Taoist Master Wu will get rid of the demons. I won't disturb him too much today. If Taoist Master has anything to do, he can call on those servants."

Wu Yi responded: "Then I'll excuse you."

Lin Yun nodded and ordered four maids to lead Wu Yi to his residence to rest, and five strongmen also accompanied him.

Lin Yun arranged a separate small courtyard for Wu Yi. Wu Yi secretly nodded.

Pushing the door open, Wu Yi said to the four women who were guiding him: "Okay, 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.
