The head of the Tao family had just died and became a young disciple of the Tao family. No wonder he would die with his eyes closed.
In response to Tao Qi's scrutiny, Tao Yao smiled casually and said comfortingly: "The Seventh Elder may be unfounded. I can't see anyone for just one night, so what's the point of disappearing? It's probably because the three little disciples were naughty and secretly hiding somewhere to play."
"
"This is impossible." Tao Qi shook her head, "The Tao family has rules. Whenever the children go, they must explain where they want to go. Otherwise, it will be a violation of the rules.
Tao Xianzun was originally the daughter of the head of the family, so she didn't know the rules of the family very well, but anyone else who dared to break the rules would be severely punished.
Therefore, they must have disappeared."
"oh."
Tao Yao's clear and shallow "Oh" made Tao Qi's frown deepen. He said a lot. He originally expected Tao Yao to say more, but he was wrong, but Tao Yao didn't want to say it, so he felt a little guilty.
Not interesting.
However, Tao Qi is Tao Qi, and he is indeed one of the best in the Tao family in terms of emotional intelligence. When he saw Tao Yao not answering, he took over his own words and continued: "If only three young disciples were missing, it would be okay.
There's nothing to be nervous about.
The patriarch is worried that the person who captured the young disciple may be a thief who stole forbidden items, so he sent me to bring some people over. This is to fulfill his filial piety to Mrs. Tao, and secondly, it can also protect the safety of the two immortals."
As she expected, these people came and had no intention of leaving.
Seeing Tao Yao not letting go, Tao Qi shook her head pitifully, unable to hide her sadness and said: "I don't know what happened to the Tao family recently. First, the forbidden items were lost, and now the three little disciples are missing. It's hard to guarantee
This is not a troubled time."
The elders of the clan were crying, what else could she do?
Tao Yao smiled, reached out and patted Tao Qi's shoulder, comforting him: "Seventh Elder, don't be too worried. No matter how bold the thief is, this is the Tao Family after all."
"Peach Immortal Lord is right."
Since she couldn't drive him away, she didn't have to waste her efforts to drive him away. Anyway, she had already calculated and calculated about the changes that might happen today, and Tao Qi's appearance would not make her panic and not know what to do.
Maybe Tao Qi will accompany me on this trip, maybe even better.
The rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and it was about to turn into a heavy rain. Tao Yao bowed slightly towards Tao Qi: "Seventh Elder, it's not too late. I am anxious to send my mother to her grave. Since the clan leader has the intention, I have no reason to refuse.
I would like to trouble the Seventh Elder and all the brothers and sisters of the Tao family to accompany me and see my mother off."
"Yes, Tao Immortal Lord." The Tao family disciples all bowed in a respectful manner.
So the group set off.
The eldest brother of the Tao family is sitting on the spiritual pet Xiaobai, holding Mrs. Tao's memorial tablet in his hand. The second brother of the Tao family is holding a big black umbrella to protect Mrs. Tao from the rain.
Tao Yao and Lu Li, one on the left and one on the right, were supporting Mrs. Tao's coffin.
As for the hard work of carrying the coffin, it was naturally left to the disciples of the Tao family.
And Tao Qi always stood by Tao Yao's side.
"Peach Immortal Lord, according to the rules, after the funeral is over, you should have a tofu banquet. I have followed the clan leader's instructions and asked the servants of the Tao family to prepare the banquet."
Tofu Xi Taoyao knew about it, but it was a bit surprising that the Tao family would arrange a banquet for Mrs. Tao. I was afraid that this banquet was not a good banquet, but a Hongmen Banquet.
"Don't worry, Peach Immortal. Although it is a tofu banquet, the dishes on the table are all the things the Immortal liked to eat in the past."
That way, she understood.
The Tao family is suspicious of her, and the purpose of the Hongmen Banquet is to expose her in public.
"Okay." Tao Yao nodded cheerfully, "I'd like to thank Patriarch Tao and the Seventh Elder for their concern."
Tao Yao's agreement made Tao Qi smile slightly: "Tao Xianzun is so polite. We are all a family, so we can't care about anything."
The heavy rain really turned into a torrential rain, because it was so heavy that they couldn't see the way forward.
Taoyao frowned and said to Tao Qi worriedly: "Why is the rain getting heavier and heavier? It would be bad if the Tao family's cemetery is too far away."
Tao Qi smiled and pointed to the lake not far away: "The Tao family cemetery is on the other side of the lake. The Tao family has prepared a big boat on the lake. Once we get on the boat, we will be fine."
Sure enough, there was a large boat parked next to the lake covered with white blankets. The white blankets were soaked by the rain and clung to the mast. As soon as they reached the shore, the Tao family disciples quickly carried the coffin onto the boat.
After everyone got on the boat, the man at the helm ordered someone to take up the anchor, and the boat quickly left the shore and entered the water with the help of the favorable wind.
The boat prepared by the Tao family was not small, and the coffin was parked in the center. Dozens of disciples of the Tao family stood in the rain, forming a circle around the coffin. The second brother of the Tao family supported the weak eldest brother of the Tao family, and leaned against the coffin.
nearest location.
Taoyao and Lu Li stood on the other side of the coffin.
At this moment, Elder Tao Qi no longer followed Tao Yao, but stood beside the helmsman.
Last night, she discussed today's escape plan with the eldest brother of the Tao family.
When it comes to escaping, timing is of the utmost importance.
If you only wanted to escape, it would be better to go to the funeral, because the Tao family would not have thought that the two brothers of the Tao family, as sons of men, would ignore my mother's body in order to survive.
However, the eldest brother of the Tao family refused. He insisted on sending Mrs. Tao to her grave first.
It is not impossible to run away after sending Mrs. Tao off. According to Taoyao's prediction, the disappearance of the Tao family leader will definitely arouse the Tao family's suspicion towards them.
To avoid mistakes, the Tao family will definitely start to monitor them closely. Therefore, when Mrs. Tao is buried today, the Tao family will definitely send someone to follow them.
But what she didn't expect was that the Tao family not only sent Tao Qi, but also dozens of others. Moreover, these dozens of people had not said a word since they left Taoranju, and everyone had a solemn face.
It looks very difficult to deal with.
"Junior Brother Lu, can you tell what their cultivation level is like?"
Lu Li looked solemn and replied softly: "It's either the late stage of heartbeat or the early stage of Jindan."
In other words, these people were carefully selected by the Tao family. Their cultivation levels were not so strong that they could suppress Lu Li, but they were not so low that they could not stop Lu Li at all.
Just one Tao Qi is enough for them to drink a pot, let alone facing so many people. In addition, among the four people here, except for one Lu Li who can fight, the remaining three are more incompetent than the last.
The Tao family really thinks highly of them.
Lu Li was worried and asked carefully: "Senior Sister Tao, what should I do?"
Taoyao smiled and replied: "Let's do business first."
Then, Taoyao closed her eyes.
The Tao family's mansion was built in the middle of the lake, but the Tao family's ancestral grave was in the north of the hill on one side of the lake. By the time Mrs. Tao was buried, it was already approaching noon.
On the way back, Tao Qi leaned close to Tao Yao: "Tao Xianzun, seeing that the storm is getting worse and worse, how about we fly with a sword when we go back?"
Tao Yao squinted her eyes, wanting to see the shore through the rain curtain, but was there anyone waiting for her?
Tao Qi, who couldn't wait for an answer, urged: "Tao Xianzun, what do you think?"
"I'm really sorry, Seventh Elder, I haven't learned to wield a sword yet."
Tao Qi smiled and said thoughtfully, "If the Immortal Master doesn't mind, you can share the same sword with me."
How can that work?
If they really flew back, how could the two Tao brothers run away? How could they sing today's play?
However, Tao Qi no longer asked Tao Yao, but took the initiative to instruct a disciple to tell the boatman to sail the empty boat back to Taojia Island. Then, he held out his long sword and invited Tao Yao to come on first.
Seeing that the plan could not keep up with the change, at this moment, the eldest brother of the Tao family suddenly fell on the tiger's back. Taoyao, who was about to draw his sword, turned around quickly and rushed over to see the eldest brother of the Tao family.
When she arrived in front of the eldest brother of the Tao family, she grabbed Bai Hu's ears and began to curse. Lu Li looked left and right and began to check the body of the eldest brother of the Tao family.
Half an hour passed.
Tao Qi frowned and was about to speak, but saw the Tao family disciple who had gone to deliver the message rush over in a panic, shouting urgently: "Seventh Elder, something happened——"
Tao Qi paused, his already evil eyes becoming even more evil. With a wave of his sleeve, he made the Tao Family disciples who were about to rush in front of him fall into disrepair.
"How can you make such a fuss in front of the Immortal Lord——"
Tao Qi's lecture was not over yet. In the pouring rain, a middle-aged man wearing purple clothes and a golden crown walked over surrounded by a group of people with different looks.
Only when they got closer did Tao Yao take a clear look at the group of strange-looking people.
The important thing is not the appearance of these people, the important thing is that they each hold magic weapons in their hands. Obviously, the Lord of Jimo City came well prepared.
It’s better to be prepared.
Tao Qi raised the corner of her mouth and greeted him with a friendly smile: "Sir City Lord, it's raining heavily today. Why did you come to Tao's house if you weren't hiding in the City Lord's Mansion?"
The city lord didn't smile: "Aren't the seventh elders hiding out on the island too?"
"..." A rhetorical question made Tao Qi suddenly speechless.
The city lord glanced around casually, and then said: "Seventh Elder, Jian Nei is seriously ill, and I miss the child in my heart. In order to help Jian Nei get better as soon as possible, I, the city lord, came here to take the child home."
Tao Qi immediately raised a worried expression: "Is Madam okay?"
"Not very good."
"The Tao family has good pharmacists. I asked them to visit the city lord and take a good look at Madam."
The city lord sneered and shook his head: "Seventh elder, although the Tao family's pharmacists are good, the city lord's mansion has a good number of them. The seventh elder only replaced the pharmacist, but didn't talk about my son. Could it be that something happened to my son?
Can’t do it?”
"How is that possible?!" Taoyao immediately denied, "City Lord, you know, the Tao family has strict rules. Even if the city wants to take away their son, they always have to ask the clan leader."
"Okay, let's go and ask." After that, the city lord pointed behind him domineeringly, "I won't be able to get to the island. I, the city lord, have brought enough guests today."
Tao Qi's face looked dark.
Being as smart as him, he understood that the city lord did not suddenly rebel, but noticed something and brought many fellow practitioners here. The city lord was well prepared to make a big fuss if something went wrong.
Presumably the city lord and the Tao family were very passive.
Just when Tao Qi was in a dilemma, Tao Yao walked over and said, "Seventh Elder."
Tao Qi raised her eyes to look at Tao Yao. She saw suspicion in his eyes. She saw that he knew that she knew that he was doubting, but there was an undercurrent between her and him that the city lord didn't know.
And compared to her, the city lord has become the crisis that Tao Qi needs to solve first.
Taoyao bowed her hands to the Lord of Jimo City and said, "The Lord of the City is polite."
The city lord didn't look sideways and lazily raised his hand as a return gift.
He is an arrogant person.
"My lord, City Lord, I am from Kunlun." As soon as these words came out, the City Lord turned his eyes to Tao Yao, "I was originally from the Tao family, and I came home this time to attend a funeral."
The city lord then raised his hand and returned the salute: "My condolences, Lord Peach Immortal."
"City Lord, as a member of the Tao family, I would like to ask the Tao family a few words. Since the city lord has sent Mr. Ling to the Tao family, it must be because of his trust in the Tao family. In this case, I hope the city lord will not be too anxious.
I went to the island and explained the whole story to Chief Tao, thinking that coming to the Tao family would not embarrass the city lord."
The city lord slightly raised his lips: "Peach Immortal Lord is right."
Then, the city lord stretched out his right hand: "Seventh Elder, please—"
