After experiencing the tiger attack, Li Xiuyuan became much more cautious on the way to Xiahe Village.
And he was very puzzled, how could there be tigers near Guobei County?
There have been no reports of big insects hurting people here in more than ten years, but just today, we actually encountered a tiger in the small forest on the roadside, and the tiger's eyes were actually black, unlike ordinary ones.
Tigers are different.
With some doubts in his heart, Li Xiuyuan decided to ask his master.
After a while, the group of people passed by Xiahe Village and headed towards the monastery on the hill.
"Is it the eldest young master? How come the eldest young master's arrival time has become shorter today? It seems that this time it has not been ten days."
"Hello, young master."
"Oh, the young master is so majestic. Where did he hunt a big insect?"
When passing by the village, the villagers immediately greeted them a few times, and Li Xiuyuan just nodded in return.
Just as he was passing by a house in the village, he saw Widow Du, who had been kidnapped by a mandrill not long ago. She had recovered from her leg injury and was sitting in front of the gate, basking in the sun, with several women.
Doing needlework.
Seeing Widow Du, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but recall the barefoot fairy he saw flying out of the stone wall when he went to Lanruo Temple that day.
"It is indeed somewhat similar."
He glanced at Widow Du's fair face and compared it with the barefoot fairy in his mind. He felt that the appearance was indeed similar, but the temperament was very different.
It seems that it is correct that illusions arise from the mind.
But...have you subconsciously fantasized about this Widow Du?
But at this moment, Widow Du heard the sound of horse hooves outside, and immediately subconsciously raised her head to look outside the door, and happened to meet the eldest young master's gaze.
The two people immediately looked at each other and seemed to be communicating with each other with hidden emotions.
Immediately, Widow Du's eyes averted, her face was a little shy, and she did not dare to look directly at Li Xiuyuan.
When she dodged for a moment, mustered up her courage again, and looked at the eldest young master again with a somewhat moving look in her eyes, she saw that Li Xiuyuan was already riding a thousand-mile horse, passing by the yard with his guards, and facing the mountain.
Went to the gymnasium on the hill.
"Look, look, the young master was looking at you again just now."
A woman next to me joked, "You said the eldest young master doesn't care about you. I see that the eldest young master is interested in you, otherwise I wouldn't look at you every time I pass by."
Widow Du's face turned slightly red, but she did not retort. She just put aside the needlework in her hand and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't work with you anymore."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
After she left, the women laughed and started talking again: "I think this Widow Du already wants to serve the eldest young master, so I'm just waiting for the eldest young master to nod."
"Isn't that right? Even a blind person can see her thoughts. Besides, with the eldest young master's distinguished family background, coupled with his handsome appearance and talent, there is no daughter whose family would not be tempted, not to mention Widow Du, or even Widow Du.
If I were ten years younger, I would have followed the young master wholeheartedly."
"Haha, you are more than ten years younger. I'm afraid you are still breastfeeding." The woman next to you said with a smile.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan had arrived in front of the Taoist temple.
"As long as you escort me here, you don't have to stay here waiting for me. Go back to the house first."
"But young master, what should we do if we encounter any danger again?"
The guard was a little worried and said: "There seems to be some instability recently. The younger ones should stay here to protect the eldest young master."
"No, my master wants to clean up his cultivation. You will disturb my master here."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Besides, I can kill the previous tigers, so what dangers can threaten me? You don't have to worry, just go and return to my father."
Several guards hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to surrender.
As the sound of horse hooves sounded, several guards quickly returned along the original path and disappeared from sight.
"Master, I'm back." When he arrived at the Taoist temple, Li Xiuyuan said.
"Hey, Master, have you ascended to heaven?"
After he walked around the Taoist temple, he suddenly discovered that in the sky above the Taoist temple, a blind old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe was sitting on a crane floating high in the sky. This crane was not a living thing, but a human being.
It is made of folded lotus leaves, and it seems that Taoist magic has been cast on it, which can make the crane made of folded lotus leaves hold a person and fly.
"Master, you have been practicing for decades, and you have finally succeeded in practicing the art of conveying the message from the paper crane," Li Xiuyuan shouted with some joy.
It seems that he is not without ability as a master.
When the blind Taoist heard Li Xiuyuan's voice, he immediately staggered and almost fell from the sky.
"Good disciple, you are trying to kill my master, but if you yell like this, my master's Taoist skills will almost be destroyed by you."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then greeted the crane who was sitting down and slowly flew down.
But when the blind Taoist flew almost as high as the eaves, the crane he was sitting on suddenly disintegrated and turned into a few lotus leaves that scattered down. He exclaimed that something was wrong and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Master, you haven't mastered your Taoist skills and your skills have failed." Li Xiuyuan quickly walked over and helped him up.
The blind Taoist supported the old man and said: "Fart, how could my master's Taoism fail? It was because I was too close to you for a moment, which caused the Taoism to no longer work. You have only been away for a few days, why are you back? Master
I still want to be clean for a few days."
"It's like this. Something strange happened in my house, and I would like to ask Master for your reference." Li Xiuyuan said.
"What happened, I, an old blind man, need to refer to." The blind Taoist wandered to the recliner and sat down with a long sigh of relief.
Li Xiuyuan immediately talked about the two things that happened in the house.
"It's nothing for a white mouse to steal money. It's just a spirit with some skills. You can scare it away by letting a cat out."
The blind Taoist said: "That King Goddess has some abilities. She can actually leave her body, pretend to be a ghost, and even perform the magic of transporting gods and ghosts. This is not a common practice. I am afraid that this Goddess Wang has some kind of opportunity.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to practice so fast."
"Master said that this Queen Mother is very good at teaching, so how should we deal with it? I can't stay at home every day to guard against that Queen Mother," Li Xiuyuan said.
"It's simple, catch the goddess Wang, confiscate her magic weapon, put her in a cell for a few months, deprive her of her incense for a few months, and use the dirty air in the cell to pollute her spirit, then she
If it doesn't work, then it will be difficult to even get out of the body, let alone use the method of transporting gods and ghosts." said the blind Taoist.
"Is it that simple?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.
The blind Taoist said angrily: "Otherwise, what do you think? There are so many taboos for Taoists, and any means can destroy the foundation of Taoists. Otherwise, why would my teacher leave your wealthy Li family alone?
Go here to Xiahe Village to build a Taoist temple for Qingxiu?"
"Although this method is good, the Queen Mother Wang slipped away last night and disappeared without a trace."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Master, isn't he known as the divine fortune teller who can calculate everything in the world? Can you calculate the position of the Queen Mother?"
"Haha, this is simple. I finally remembered my skills as a teacher. Since I have something to ask for, I will show you some skills today so that you will know the name of this blind Taoist.
It is by no means a wasted reputation.”
The blind Taoist laughed, and immediately stretched out his hands to count like a magic stick on the roadside. From time to time, he would let out a little light, showing some doubts, and suddenly there would be a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing him like this, Li Xiuyuan felt very unsure and felt like he was being fooled.
"Will he suddenly slap his thigh and exclaim: bad or bad? Then he will start fooling around with money." Li Xiuyuan thought secretly in his heart.
Before he could finish his thoughts, the blind Taoist suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "It's not good, it's not good."
