Dedicate One’s Mind

After expelling the remaining Tao Yun of the Ghost King, Wu Yi did not recover immediately. He just said that the biggest hidden danger was eliminated. The meridians in his body were still like a mess, affecting the movement of Wu Yi's Qi, blood and spiritual energy.

Without the help of a pharmacist or a monk who specializes in the repair of meridians, Wu Yi does not know how long it would take to recover on his own with the help of blood. After all, this is the first time Wu Yi has suffered such a serious injury. Experience is greatly lacking.

However, after the alien Tao Yun was expelled, Wu Yi mobilized most of his blood light to repair the meridians, and the recovery speed was expected to be much faster than before.

At this time, Wu Yi and his party also arrived at their destination, the seat of Lingnan County, Wuwei City. This is the place where the three rivers unite. Before Dayu Kingdom took control of this place, it was still a swamp. The Baiyue people who originally lived here They are accustomed to living in high mountains because they do not have the ability to develop swamps and can only live in high mountains.

After Dayu Kingdom brought this area into its rule, it also brought advanced farming technology. The fertile swamp area was quickly developed into a large farming area. This swamp land alone can provide half of the food for the entire county.

Of course, a simple grain producing area cannot become the governor of a large county. The key is that this is the place where three rivers are united and there are many water systems. Lingnan County, which is full of mountains, can not only provide supplies for the army, but also transport troops. It can be said to be a strategic location. Land, can firmly control the entire Lingnan County.

As a strategic location, there will be many wars happening here. When the imperial army and the Baiyue people were fighting, this place became a very critical place. Just looking at the name of this city, you can tell that Wuwei, if there is no war, Why do we need martial power? Why do we need martial power?

Of course, Dayu Kingdom has controlled this place for nearly a hundred years, and has already assimilated a large number of Baiyue ethnic groups. There are no longer the wars and wars of the past, and the faces of people walking in and out of the city are filled with happy and peaceful smiles.

It was early in the morning when Wu Yi and his party walked outside the city. The city was limited in scope, and many of them were occupied by wealthy families and turned into gardens. The market was actually opened outside the city.

At this time, all industries are starting to work, the market is bustling with people, the sounds of hawking are coming and going, and it is a prosperous scene.

Wu Yi was not sitting in the simple truck at this time. After all, he was a Taoist disciple. He had to show some appearance and not be too unrestrained. Wang Chuchen knew that he would have to be taught again after returning.

But Wu Yi did not ride in the same car with the woman named Xiaoya. Instead, he sat in another carriage. Wu Yi had not seen this carriage before, so he must have bought it on the way, specifically for Wu Yi. This woman knew something about the purchase, otherwise Wu Yi would rather walk into the city than take a truck carrying a cargo.

This woman's father is a county guard. As the daughter of a county guard, the sergeant guarding the city gate did not check too much. He drove the crowds on both sides and shouted: "The daughter of the county guard is back. You, you, give way to me." Come on." Pedestrians on the roadside did not dare to block the road and gave way.

The guard who was driving looked at the dispersed crowd with pride. He whipped the whip in his hand and made a crackling sound in the air. He urged the horses to move forward, driving the carriage smoothly all the way.

The carriage stopped at a wealthy house. Wu Yi opened the curtain and saw a plaque written on the county governor's house. Knowing that he had arrived at the place, he got out of the carriage and stood aside, waiting for the call to enter.

The guards standing at the door of the Sheriff's Mansion were all wearing armor, with swords on their bodies, and they were murderous. There were also a few soldiers who looked like passers-by in the teahouse and restaurant at the door, spying secretly. Even the two stone lions placed at the door were Much more vicious than others.

Wu Yi looked at the mansion so heavily guarded and thought thoughtfully. He knew that something might have happened in the mansion, but since the owner didn't tell him, he couldn't ask more. When the time came, he would naturally know.

The reason why Wu Yi accepted the woman's invitation was not only because he was injured and had difficulty moving, but also for the purpose of traveling. If he was not happy living here, he would just leave when the time came.

After all, she is the master of the family. The woman entered the mansion directly after getting off the carriage. When she walked past Wu Yi, she smiled and nodded to Wu Yi, and asked with concern: "Taoist priest, do you need help from a servant?"

Wu Yi shook his head slightly and said: "I have recovered a bit in the past few days, but walking is okay." Wu Yi did not do this for the sake of face. The fact is indeed as he said, but he still cannot display his foundation-building skills. That’s all.

Xiaoya only thought that Wu Yi didn't want to do this for the sake of face, and it was hard to say more. She walked slightly in front of Wu Yi, walking very slowly, as if she was afraid of walking too fast for Wu Yi to keep up.

In order to solve the embarrassment of walking too slowly, Xiaoya and Wu Yi chatted about their family's affairs, including the time when his father came to work here, his political achievements, etc. However, Xiaoya did not tell Wu Yi why there was a security guard at home. The reason for such strictness.

Wu Yi's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he had a better impression of this delicate woman, but he didn't care about it, and chatted happily with Xiaoya.

Although the soldiers in the mansion knew that Wu Yi was the lady's guest, they still looked at Wu Yi warily, and Wu Yi's doubts deepened.

Xiaoya also saw the soldier's unkind attitude, but did not reprimand him. She just smiled awkwardly and gracefully at Wu Yi without explaining the matter.

Walking into this majestic-looking mansion, Wu Yi found that there were almost no smiles on the faces of the people inside, and their footsteps were in a hurry. If it weren't for the strict management of the house, there would be only one explanation, and that would be that something had happened to the family.

Not long after, a man dressed as a housekeeper came out in a hurry to greet her, panting. When he looked at Xiaoya, his face was a little relieved at first, but soon he turned serious and pretended to be angry: "Miss, what are you doing when you come back?"

"They are just evil heretics. How can I leave here?" Xiaoya's tone was extremely firm.

"Alas." The housekeeper shook his head and sighed again and again. He knew that his young lady had a stubborn temper. Not to mention she was an ordinary person, even her biological parents could not persuade her, so she had no choice but to give up, but she had no intention of persuading her.

"Hey, who is this?" When the housekeeper looked at the people around Xiaoya, he suddenly saw a new face, wearing a Taoist robe, dressed like a Taoist disciple.

Xiaoya said: "This is Taoist Priest Wu Yi. He fought off the bandits for us on the way." Xiaoya said nothing about the embarrassing incident after Wu Yi disappeared.

Wu Yi performed a Taoist salute, bowed his head and said: "Wu Yi, a small Taoist."

The housekeeper buried his worries deep in his heart, his face remained calm and he said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Master Taoist."

Wu Yi showed no sign of claiming credit and said: "Even if Xiaodao didn't take action at that time, the thieves would never have succeeded." Yes, with the existence of Aunt Qing, there may be casualties, but there should be no problem in repelling the thieves.

At this time, the housekeeper took Xiaoya's place to talk to Wu Yi, and his words were flawless. Wu Yi also chatted and laughed with her. The conversation between the two was considered a courtesy conversation, without much nutrition. Wu Yi was arranged to rest in the guest room after , the butler left.

Wu Yi looked at the layout of the guest room and found that the guest room was spotless and well-organized. The four treasures of the study were all available. The owner must be an elegant person.

But at this time, Wu Yi had no intention of admiring these items. After all, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. In fact, it was not just curiosity, but also Wu Yi's natural caution, which required him to understand as many things as possible. , don’t want to be kept in the dark.

When he was talking to the housekeeper, a piece of spiritual consciousness was assigned to him. With the spiritual consciousness, the sounds and images evolved from the audio-visual skills Wu Yi had previously mastered would be clearer, making it easier for Wu Yi to eavesdrop.

Wu Yi sensed the spiritual consciousness that had been scattered before, and used spiritual energy to turn into a mirror in the air to show the things around the housekeeper.

The butler was seen walking around in circles, passing through several alleys and pavilions. Even Wu Yi, who was very confident in his memory, had no idea where the butler had gone. The size of the county governor's mansion was evident.

Finally, he saw the housekeeper stopped in front of a very ordinary yard. The housekeeper knocked on the door. Aunt Qing opened the door. Wu Yi had already guessed that the housekeeper wanted to ask something.

The housekeeper looked around, entered the yard, and asked Aunt Qing: "What's going on with that Taoist priest Wu Yi?" His eyes were a bit dissatisfied, complaining that she didn't take care of the young lady well, and made friends with such unknown people.

Aunt Qing did not hide Wu Yi's subsequent embarrassment like Xiaoya, but told the housekeeper and Wu Yi in detail how they would be rescued until the end. Wu Yi now understood what he looked like when he was rescued.

"Madam has been in a coma for several months due to evil plots. Just put this Taoist priest on the road. Why bring her back?" After hearing Aunt Qing's introduction, the housekeeper felt relieved a little, but he was still very dissatisfied.

"You think I think so!" Being scolded by the steward one after another, Aunt Qing's aura appeared, and her aura oppressed the steward, expressing her anger.

Only then did the housekeeper remember that the man in front of him was someone the master paid a lot of money to protect the young lady. He was not a servant like him, and he looked begging for mercy on his face.

Aunt Qing regained her momentum and said: "These are the young lady's ideas. If you want to say anything, just talk to her." After Aunt Qing said this, she gave the housekeeper a cold look, turned around and left, unwilling to talk to the housekeeper again. One sentence.

Seeing Aunt Qing walking away, the housekeeper spat lightly and quickly left the courtyard.

The place the housekeeper went to next was even more deep and secluded, surrounded by bamboos and trees, with tinkling springs and diving birds and fish. It was clearly a mountain and forest scene in the mansion. I don’t know how much it cost to create such a quiet place. On behalf of the effort.

Sensing that even the strongman guarding the gate here was at the peak of Qi refining, Wu Yi understood that there was probably a foundation-building monk living inside, so he withdrew his spiritual consciousness, otherwise it would be bad for him to sense it when the time came. , but spiritual consciousness cannot be changed. When the two of them meet, they will know that it is this person who has fought with them before, which seems embarrassing.

Why did this foundation-building monk come here? Combining the previous conversation between the housekeeper and Aunt Qing and what he saw and heard along the way, Wu Yi could easily guess that he should be here to clean up the evil ways, and by the way, he might also be here to rescue the wife of the family.

After roughly figuring out the context of the matter, Wu Yi fell into deep thought. What role would he play in this?
