In the evening, a maid came to Wu Yi's residence and invited Wu Yi to a banquet in the evening to welcome him.
Wu Yi did not refuse, but agreed. After sorting out his descriptions a little, he went out with his maid. Under the leadership of the maid, Wu Yi came to a spacious lobby with carved beams and painted pillars and painted red and purple, giving him the appearance of wealth.
When Wu Yi arrived, he found that several people had already sat down in the hall, including Xiaoya, who should be the owner of the house. Right above him was a middle-aged man with a beard, sitting high in the hall, showing no anger and authority, and wearing a long robe.
A faint golden light could be seen, and he must be wearing protective armor. Behind him stood two armored soldiers, with golden swords hanging on their waists, and eagle eyes scanning around them.
Wu Yi knew that this must be the county guard. He heard from Xiaoya that he had fought in all directions before he became the county guard. It seemed to be true. Although he practiced martial arts and cultivated literature now, his murderous aura was hard to control.
Seeing Wu Yi's arrival, the county guard settled down in his position, showed a polite smile on his face, and said to Wu Yi: "The little Taoist priest is here, but I want to thank you for saving my little girl's life." The county guard understood from the housekeeper.
After what happened and knowing Wu Yi's embarrassment, he didn't think much of Wu Yi.
Wu Yi saw the governor's thoughts, but Xiaoya saved his life before, and it was not for nothing. There was no need to argue about such a false courtesy. He said with a slight embarrassment: "But Ling Qianjin is more helpful to Xiaodao.
Otherwise, Xiaodao would have died in the mouth of a wild beast."
When the county guard heard Wu Yi's words, he smiled and said: "The Taoist Master has said it." The county guard also knew from the housekeeper that although Wu Yi was seriously injured before, his cultivation was advanced, at least better than the young man he had spent a lot of money to hire.
My aunt was much more advanced in cultivation and did not dare to be too negligent. She still showed Wu Yi a certain amount of respect and placed Wu Yi's seat in the middle on the right hand side, ordering the servants to serve him well.
Wu Yi sat down, and Xiaoya showed an apologetic expression towards Wu Yi. She obviously felt that her father had acted inappropriately, but since her father had made a decision, she could not openly refute it, so she could only express her apology now.
Wu Yi returned her reassuring smile. If he guessed correctly, the position in front should be reserved for the foundation-building monk Wu Yi had spied on before.
The county guard didn't know Wu Yi's cultivation, but Wu Yi didn't care about these trivial matters. He just closed his eyes and rested himself, waiting for the banquet to begin.
The county governor also hosted a banquet for several wealthy local families. These people arrived quickly in twos and threes, but the banquet still had not started. However, no one showed any impatience, and they all waited quietly.
After half a stick of incense had passed, a Taoist wearing an indigo patterned Bagua-shaped Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk arrived, surrounded by a group of disciples and warriors.
, unsmiling.
Seeing this person arriving, the county guard stood up from his seat, walked out of his seat, and stepped forward to greet this person, with a bit of humility and a bit of hope in his respect.
The Taoist walked without squinting his eyes as he walked. Even though the heads of these wealthy families wore gold and silver, and the women were as beautiful as flowers, it did not move their hearts at all.
But when the Taoist passed by Wu Yi, his steps slowed down. He didn't expect that there would be Taoist disciples here. It was a little strange. When his spiritual sense was detected, he immediately took it back like a tide. His eyes flickered and he stopped moving forward. He looked at Wu Yixing.
He made a greeting and said: "Fellow Taoist, I'm here to greet you."
Wu Yi stood up when the Taoist turned around, returned the same Taoist greeting, and said with a smile: "You are so polite, fellow Taoist."
The Taoist robe on Wu Yi's body was made of his spiritual energy, and the outside was covered with spiritual consciousness. Once the spiritual consciousness was detected, he could instantly know that Wu Yi was also a Foundation Establishment monk. After knowing that Wu Yi was a Foundation Establishment monk, this Taoist acted like this
No wonder.
For foundation-building monks, spiritual consciousness is an important factor in confirming the relationship status of this generation. Seeing a peer collide with spiritual consciousness is nothing. But the collision of spiritual consciousness needs to be separated at the touch of a finger, just like seeing a peer on the road.
You can look at a beautiful woman, but not for a long time, otherwise it will be considered rude.
When the Taoist was paying homage to Wu Yi, the county guard beside the Taoist knew that he had looked down on others before, but he never thought that Wu Yi was actually the same person he had worked so hard to invite from the Taoist temple.
The masters have the same cultivation level, but there is no comparison based on their age. One has gray hair, and the other has green beard. I knew that Wu Yi's cultivation level was high, but I didn't expect that his cultivation level was as high as this level.
Now that I think about it, it was inappropriate to place Wu Yi in this position before. It was just that it had been arranged before, and now it is even more embarrassing to change it temporarily.
But the Taoist who was talking to Wu Yi stood there without moving. He obviously felt that Wu Yi was placed in this position inappropriately. After all, Wu Yi was at the same cultivation level as him.
The county guard's arrangement of Wu Yi here seemed to imply something to him. Was it to tell him not to be too arrogant? Even people with the same cultivation level as him were allowed to be manipulated. This man stopped and put pressure on the county guard.
The county governor hated the housekeeper who reported the news to him for not telling him clearly, putting him in the embarrassing situation he was in now. But let alone the housekeeper, even Aunt Qing, who was successful in Qi refining, could not see Wu Yi's cultivation. The housekeeper also
What do you know?
At the critical moment, it was Xiaoya, a junior, who came out to save his father. After all, as the head of the family, the county magistrate had some things that were inconvenient and impossible to say, but as a junior, Xiaoya had no problem. Even if he said the wrong thing, the county magistrate said...
It's okay to rebuke someone who is young and ignorant.
Xiaoya stood up from her seat, walked to the middle of the aisle, pulled up the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly to Wu Yi and the Taoist, and said to the Taoist: "Taoist, if you have something to do, why don't you chat at the banquet? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to drink and drink together?"
"
The Taoist didn't reply to her, didn't even look at Xiaoya, and turned a deaf ear. After all, he was not willing to give up until the core problem was solved.
Xiaoya didn't originally put the breakthrough point on the Taoist. This was just an introduction. She quickly turned sideways and said to Wu Yi: "Taoist Master Wu, it was a pleasure to talk to you before. How about you move to my place?" After finishing speaking,
Her face is pink and pink, and she is shy and timid, which can't help but make people daydream.
If a Taoist is successful, he will be pursued by many noble women in the world. The Taoist who talked to Wu Yi also had this experience, but now that he is old and exhausted, he is no longer as heroic as before.
The Taoist thought he had guessed what happened, laughed loudly, stopped disturbing Wu Yi, and went to his seat under the guidance of the waiter, and sat down cross-legged.
The county guard hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he showed an apologetic but somewhat pleading face to Wu Yi, just to hope that Wu Yi would agree.
At this moment, Wu Yi looked at Xiaoya's pink face and remembered in his heart that Xiaoya had dragged him into the water to resist the robbers. She was a smart woman who knew how to use everything she had, including her appearance, and
This is also her greatest asset, her elegant temperament, even some female crown princes cannot match her.
Wu Yi doesn't have much prejudice against such a character. Such a character requires looking at the motivation. Good and evil are all in one thought. Xiaoya obviously did this for the sake of the incident in her family. The motive is good, so the calculation against Wu Yi is also
It can be said that he is eager to save his mother.
Even so, it does not mean that Wu Yi is willing to be plotted. From an angle that no one can see, he gave Xiaoya an indifferent look and warned her not to act recklessly next time. After the small warning, Wu Yi did not refuse, otherwise this
The banquet might have ended unhappily, so Xiaoya accompanied him to his side. The servants had already arranged a low table and seats there.
After sitting down again, Xiaoya didn't dare to look up at Wu Yi. Wu Yi knew that she felt guilty, but in the eyes of outsiders, she looked shy. She couldn't help but sigh that the county magistrate had given birth to a good daughter.
If you establish a relationship with a disciple, your future prospects will be limitless.
When the guests came together, the county guard winked at the steward behind him. After a while, the maidservants were like butterflies in flowers, holding jade plates in their hands, serving delicacies, which are all specialties of the Lingnan area. Because the sea is close to the river, the water is
There are many dishes, most of which are delicacies that Wu Yi has been famous for for a long time but rarely seen. There are more that Wu Yi can’t even name. It’s really an eye-opener.
What surprised Wu Yi the most was that although some of the meals here were simple, they were full of spiritual energy. They were very similar to the vegetables grown by the warriors in the mountain gate with spiritual water. It seemed that the county guard had put a lot of thought into the banquet. These vegetables were full of spiritual energy.
It can't be bought just by having money.
When the vegetables and meals were almost served, the county guard stood up and said to the guests: "Today, we are fortunate to invite the Taoist master Lin Qi to visit Wuwei City." At this point, the county guard seemed to have thought of something. Look,
Xiang Wu Yi, wanted to tell Wu Yi's name.
But because he didn't pay much attention to Wu Yi before, he didn't even write down Wu Yi's name at this time. He looked at the butler behind him out of the corner of his eye, hoping that he would come out to rescue him.
The word Wu Yi is written on the back.
The county guard seemed to be amnesty, and smiled to cover up his previous embarrassment, and continued: "There is also Taoist Wu Yi. If Taoist Wu Yi had not come to help, the little girl might have been kidnapped by strong men." The county guard tried his best at this time.
Beautifying Wu Yi to pray for Wu Yi's forgiveness made Wu Yi very embarrassed and couldn't help but hang his head.
Lin Qi smiled meaningfully at Wu Yi, seeming to be pointing out something.
"With two Taoist priests here, even if the traitors invite evil heretics, it will be useless. They will be wiped out in one fell swoop." After foreshadowing the glorious deeds of Lin Qi and Wu Yi, the county guard raised his cup high.
, said to the crowd. Wu Yi did not pay attention to what the governor said later, but was attracted by the content introduced before. This Lin Qi was actually good at exorcising ghosts and subduing them.
Everyone stood up one after another and bowed to Wu Yi and Lin Qi respectively, their words full of gratitude.
Although he was not very clear about what happened, he was already on the fire, so Wu Yi had to get up and have a drink. Everyone cheered, and everyone sang and danced at the banquet, reflecting the simple folk customs.
The look and expressions of everyone made Wu Yi even more confused.
Xiaoya, who was standing next to Wu Yi, saw Wu Yi's puzzled expression and said to Wu Yi: "The rebels are the Baiyue ethnic group who were originally driven to the mountains by the imperial army. They have not come down the mountain for decades, and few of us are like them."
When there was a dispute, there was no conflict between the well and the river. However, a few years ago, for some unknown reason, they suddenly came down the mountain to invade our soldiers and civilians. My father dispatched troops and generals to drive them back. However, after waiting, some evil heretics were invited to use witchcraft to harm the rich family.
The big houses in the city make the big houses in the city panic."
When Wu Yi heard this, he did not make any judgment, but just nodded lightly, because he knew that the matter was definitely not that simple, but he did not continue to ask, because some things could not be revealed.
The banquet ended in a joyful atmosphere. When Wu Yi went out, the moon was on the willow branches, and beside him, Xiaoya's pink face lowered her head shyly.
Seeing Xiaoya following her for a long time, Wu Yi turned around and said calmly: "Girl, please stay."
Xiaoya suddenly raised her head and said in disbelief: "But"
Wu Yi did not look into Xiaoya's eyes, turned around and left, and still said: "Stay."
Xiaoya was anxious and wanted to follow him, but it was as if she was immobilized and couldn't move. She could only watch Wu Yi drifting away.
After regaining his freedom, Wu Yi had disappeared. Tears could not help but roll in his eyes. Xiaoya felt unconfident about her beauty for the first time.
