Volume 1: Mountains and Rivers of Light Chapter 2 Flying Misfortune
Ji Yuan stood on the path in the mountains and cast his gaze quietly forward. After glancing at the valuable 'Sun Fire Lighting Road Talisman' suspended in the air, he turned his attention to the five young men and women.
on the body.
There were three men and two women, each wearing brocade clothes and jade robes, with an exquisite-looking long sword hanging on their waists. When they walked, it was like the wind was blowing under their feet. Even if they were walking on the bumpy dirt road, they still looked like they were
Very relaxed look.
With just a few glances, one can see that these five people are extraordinary. In addition, those who dare to stroll in the mountains and forests after nightfall are either warriors or monks in the mountains. They must have some skills.
.
The little Taoist priest naturally does not want to come into contact with such people at this time. If he meets a fellow Taoist in the wilderness, if he is lucky, he will get along well with him. If he is not lucky, he will fight with swords. After all, killing people and seizing treasures is often the fastest way to earn money on the path of spiritual practice.
One of the methods.
And walking alone in the mountains, he looks like a harmless lamb. As for whether he is fat or not, you have to try to find out.
Unfortunately, there were mountain walls with nowhere to stay on both sides, and there was really no way to hide, so Ji Yuan could only bite the bullet and wait on the spot, hoping that the worst scenario would not happen.
Not long after, five young men and women walked along the road and saw a young Taoist priest appearing in the wilderness at night. Not only were they not at all surprised, they even had a faint smile on their faces, as if they had already known about his existence.
"Wuliang Tianzun, a Taoist priest registered in the Dayu Dynasty of Xiaodao, I have met several Taoist friends."
Ji Yuan shook his head, bowed to the five people, and pointed out his status in the dynasty.
As for his family background and background, and even the name of the place Qianyu City, he dared not mention it. It is a taboo to expose one's identity when the enemy and we are unknown.
We can only hope that the identity of a Taoist priest registered in the Dayu Dynasty can make the other party a little afraid, so that even if he has malicious intentions, he will not take action directly.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the faces of the five people changed slightly, and then they put away the contempt in their eyes and began to seriously look at the little Taoist priest in front of them.
In the Dayu Dynasty, not everyone can be registered. Even if they are successful Qi practitioners and come from a Taoist temple with a rich background, it is generally difficult to become a registered Taoist priest.
Only the most prosperous Taoist temples in some big cities, or those recommended by local officials of rank seven or above, can enter the verification process, and the Mingjian Department in the dynasty will make the final decision on whether to be included in the list.
Once successfully registered, it is equivalent to being recognized by the Chongqing Dynasty. It is regarded as half an official status. Although it does not have any rights, it can receive a meager monthly salary and be able to participate in rituals and other matters organized by the court.
The most important point is that if a Taoist priest registered in the dynasty disappears, the local government will send officers to thoroughly investigate the traces. Once it is found that the missing Taoist priest has been murdered, the Mingjian Division will often directly take action to find the suspected culprit and arrest him in prison for questioning.
"My Excellency Li Mufeng, from Tianhe County, is traveling with his junior brothers and sisters."
The leading man among the five people bowed his hands in greeting, and gave people a feeling of spring breeze while talking and laughing.
Behind Li Mufeng, four men and women reluctantly held their hands. After the initial inspection, they no longer paid attention to the young Taoist priest in front of them. Instead, they felt that the mountain walls on both sides were more interesting.
Not only was Ji Yuan not at all annoyed by the attitude of these people, he was even happy about it. The less attention he received, the lower the risk of accidents.
But the Li Mufeng in front of him gave him a big headache. Not only did he not feel at ease because of the temperament he showed, but his whole body became tense.
In the teachings of Master, it has been said that the more kind you are to others, the more you treat others like a spring breeze, and the amiable people, you must stay as far away from each other as possible, and it is best not to be in the same place.
Because although most of these people are like this in nature and are truly good people, once someone has an impure mind, they are really pure and evil to the core.
So with the idea of not being afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the worst, it is better to stay as far away as possible.
"Xiao Dao has been ordered by his master to go out on business. It is not advisable to stay outside for a long time. To avoid worrying about master and fellow apprentices, I will not exchange more greetings with fellow Taoists. I hope you will forgive me for being rude."
Ji Yuan said cheerfully, then turned sideways and planned to walk by.
But just as he finished speaking, the youngest girl among the five snorted coldly: "Why, are we those tigers, wolves, ferocious beasts, or bandits, that make you not want to stay for a moment?"
As soon as he heard this, Ji Yuan broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't even need to count with his fingers to know that he couldn't escape this time. He was afraid of unreasonable young girls when he went out.
He hurriedly shook his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare". At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Li Mufeng beside him from the corner of his eye.
"We senior brothers and sisters come from a well-known and upright family, how could we do something against a little Taoist priest like you that goes against the rules and morals of the family?"
The girl snorted a few times, with a look of dissatisfaction and contempt on her face.
But after she said these words, before she felt anything, the expressions of her companions changed, and they wanted to scold her, but they seemed to be concerned about her identity, so they took back the words that came to her lips.
After the other party spoke, Ji Yuan closed his eyes as if he had resigned himself to his fate. When he opened them again, he was filled with helplessness.
The girl's words are basically equivalent to announcing her family status. You must know that not all sects are qualified to call themselves famous and upright, but there are still many twists and turns in it, and those in Tianhe County have this qualification.
There is only one sect.
But how could it be such a coincidence in this world that a disciple of a well-known and upright sect appeared in the deep mountains and old forests, and just picked up a "Yanghuo Road Talisman" worth ten taels of snowflakes and silver as a light source?
Not to mention that practitioners can see the road clearly in the dark with the help of moonlight, but the function of this talisman is to use yang fire to sense the yin energy within a radius of one or two miles.
Ji Yuan happened to know that there was a place behind him where evil spirits breed and full of yin energy.
When a coincidence occurs alone, it may indeed be a coincidence, but when two or three coincidences occur one after another, it must be intentional.
If the other party is trying to slay demons and cleanse away evil spirits, then there is nothing to say. The only taboo is to be careful of being plucked by fellow travelers along the way.
But if it weren't for this kind of plan, once it was revealed, there would really be no room for maneuver. If one's own strength is not strong enough and the backer is not strong enough, one can only pray that the other party does not want to cause trouble.
"Little Taoist Master, why should you rush back? There is an opportunity right now. If you miss it, you will regret it."
Li Mufeng narrowed his eyes and said this.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, and was about to refuse this sudden disaster, but saw three young men and women who had already dispersed and blocked all his ways of advancement and retreat.
Except for the girl who was unaware of the change in the atmosphere, the palms of the other four people had quietly touched the long sword at their waist. It seemed that as long as the young man shook his head or said something like rejection, he would draw the sword boldly.
.
There is no need to say anything more. With such a posture, it is obvious that what these famous and upright disciples are going to do tonight will definitely not be an upright and good thing.
In desperation, Ji Yuan could only nodded lightly, with a gloomy look on his brows, and then deliberately acted like he was trying his best to hide his fear.
When Li Mufeng saw this, he showed his spring breeze-like smile again. Except for the girl, the other three people also showed smiles at this moment. This chapter has been completed!
