Chapter 241: The Eighth Mission - The New Five Immortals 45
So Mo Yiyi took Red Flower Double Happiness and followed the group of pregnant women here to work as laborers. The three of them pulled the plow in front. The ridges opened by the three of them alone were enough for these women to work for a long time.
After Zheng Qingbai saw it, he couldn't help but tease Noila Mo.
"Mo Xiaoyou is in a good mood, you are much better than an ox."
Mo Yiyi sweated and felt a little ashamed.
How can she be counted? Double Happiness and Red Flower are really better than cows!
She has the strength of an ordinary person, and at most she can be considered relatively strong among ordinary people. The main force in plowing the fields is Shuangxi and Honghua, so she can only be regarded as an addition!
But Mo Yiyi didn't explain this, she just said.
"Young Daoist Zheng came here today, did you smell the fragrance of my food? Then you are here today. My family has cooked some delicious food. It just so happens that you, Daoist Zheng, are here to try it too!"
After finishing speaking, Noila Mo looked at the man behind Zheng Qingbai and asked.
"Who is this?"
Zheng Qingbai smiled and turned sideways, letting the person behind him step aside to introduce Mo Yiyi.
"This is my superior, the Minister of Taoism, Ma Yongbin, and the Minister of Ma."
The imperial court has seven departments, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishments, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Dao.
The Ministry of Taoism is the department in charge of the monks in the imperial court. The highest official in the Ministry of Taoism is the Shangshu, and the lower level are the Ministers.
This Ma Shilang can be regarded as one of the second-in-commands of the Taoist Ministry.
Mo Yiyi bowed her hand to the horse servant, and the horse servant was also very polite and smiled and bowed her hand to Mo Yiyi.
The two parties were now acquainted, and Mo Yiyi took the two people home naturally.
The courtyard where Mo Yiyi lives is exactly the same as the courtyard where other people in the village live. There is no new construction.
However, the difference can be seen in the interior decoration and lighting.
For example, this lighting is the light emitted by a magic circle, which makes the whole room extremely bright!
Originally, Noila Mo wanted to hang a lamp, but the elder raised his hand and carved two strokes.
Not to mention, this magic circle is quite easy to use.
As soon as Ma Shilang entered the room, he saw this magic circle, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"This is the lighting array. It can be so streamlined. It's really the senior we've been waiting for."
Just two simple strokes, like casual scratches, can emit such light. In the eyes of an expert, these two strokes can be called miraculous workmanship!
But Mo Yiyi didn't understand, so she just thought that Ma Shilang was just talking.
However, her elder was indeed a great master in the magic circle, so she also spoke up.
"Of course, the person who drew this lighting array is a very powerful array master!"
When he mentioned the Grand Formation Master, the Ma Shilang's eyes lit up.
"I wonder if I have the honor to meet this great formation master?"
Mo Yiyi sat at the main seat in the room, then motioned for the two of them to sit down, then pointed to the other main seat and said.
"Isn't he right here?"
It wasn't until Mo Yiyi said these words that the two of them suddenly discovered the man in black robe who was already sitting on the main seat and eating fruit!
‘Crack, click, click, click’, the man in black robe gnawed all the pulp clean, and then threw the core into his mouth. After several clicks, he also ate the thick-shelled core!
There was obviously such a loud movement, but no one noticed it when the two people came in!
Zheng Qingbai and Ma Shilang hurriedly saluted the man in black robes. The person who could do this was still a great formation master. His realm must be higher than the two of them!
The man in black robe did not say anything after receiving this gift. He just supported him with the spiritual power thread and continued to eat the fruit.
Seeing that the fruit in the fruit basket was almost empty again, Mo Yiyi stretched out her hand and made a pile!
The way Mo Yiyi got along with the man in black robe made Zheng Qingbai and Ma Shilang a little confused. They looked at each other quietly, and finally Zheng Qingbai smiled and spoke.
"Young friend Mo, I don't know if this senior is..."
Can Mo Yiyi say that this is the elder of their Sword Sect?
Certainly not, so she said.
"He is a disciple of our Sword Sect. I can't say who he is specifically. After all, I am still on a mission. This person was hired by me through the Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh~" Zheng Qingbai said as if he understood, but he didn't understand the details.
Now that everyone is here, what can’t be said? Just by wearing a black robe, you can pretend that the person doesn’t exist?
In fact, not only Zheng Qingbai and Ma Shilang couldn't figure it out, but Mo Yiyi couldn't figure it out either.
This elder is very mysterious. He looked like this when he appeared in front of him. He said nothing and everything was shrouded in a black robe. Even his own spiritual energy was tightly contained!
It was so mysterious that Noila Mo almost suspected that this was some kind of villain.
Fortunately, although he was tightly wrapped, he still had the token of the elder of the Sword Sect, so Mo Yiyi confirmed his identity.
The elder didn't say anything, so Mo Yiyi had to arrange everything.
Shilang Ma came to visit to check on the magic circle. Of course Mo Yiyi had no objection, and the black-robed elder also listened to Mo Yiyi.
Therefore, the matter was settled quickly, but there was no rush to do it. After a long journey, Noila Mo still invited these two people to have a meal here first.
Of course, the food at Mo Yiyi's house is excellent. Ma Shilang is a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage. In front of him are three dishes made with fourth-grade ingredients. Zheng Qingbai's is third-grade and is also three-course. Shuangxi and Honghua's are
The one in front of him was the first-grade one, but the black-robed elder had a lot in front of him. Basically, he had one of the dishes on the table in front of him. Mo Yiyi even made two fifth-grade divine transformation dishes for him.
.
In addition to these, Mo Yiyi also brought two jars of three-grade spiritual fruit wine to entertain Zheng Qingbai and Ma Shilang. This meal was a feast for both the guests and the host, and Ma Shilang and Zheng Qingbai ate without raising their heads!
Generous, really too generous!
During the meal, the way Ma Shilang looked at Mo Yiyi was different!
Although Ma Shilang already knew that Mo Yiyi was a rich man before coming here, he didn't know that she could be so rich!
If the third and fourth grade Lingzhi flesh and blood is made into food, it will be made into food. If it is said to entertain guests, then it will be entertained!
Minister Ma was also considered a wealthy man among his colleagues, but today he was shocked by Mo Yiyi's generosity.
He even couldn't help but start to wonder if the gap between the mortal world and the world of cultivation was really so big!
After having enough wine and food, Mo Yiyi and the black-robed elder followed Zheng Qingbai and Ma Shilang into the city.
This time, Mo Yiyi did not bring Shuangxi and Honghua. Staying with Shuangxi and Honghua in the village can prevent emergencies.
After all, the people in this village are women and children. It would be bad if you really meet a bad person!
The magic circle can protect the village from threats such as evil spirits and demons, but it cannot prevent human beings from entering. Unless the magic circle is completely opened, the consumption will be too great.
…
Arriving at the small courtyard inside the Yamen, standing in the center of the entire Guang'an City, Mo Yiyi felt more or less curious.
But after watching it for a while, Mo Yiyi's curiosity disappeared.
Really, she doesn’t understand it at all!
Ever since the black-robed elder temporarily became the city's defender, he had attached his hands to the core and remained motionless. She couldn't tell anything from his appearance!
When it came to Zheng Qing, Bai Ma Shilang and the two defenders of the city in the foundation building period, they seemed to have sensed something, and a look of intoxication slowly appeared on their faces.
Mo Yiyi stood here, out of tune with this group of people, and after a while she felt a little boring.
He raised his hand and filled the fruit basket again. After piling it high, he started to play the game of "you take away one, I'll add another" with the spiritual power silk of the black-robed elder.
Mo Yiyi was very serious about adding it, and she had even begun to study how to stack it to make the point look more rounded and beautiful!
However, at this moment, the spiritual energy suddenly moved, and Mo Yiyi immediately noticed something was wrong. When she raised her head, the entire Guang'an City lit up with red light!
This was the appearance of the magic circle being activated. She subconsciously let go of the fruit basket and walked to the window to look out.
The spiritual energy gathered abnormally in a certain place. Noila Mo squinted her eyes and stared at it. It took a long time to see clearly what it was, and then her whole body felt bad!
That is actually a statue of God!!!
The statue was embedded in the tall arc-shaped cover! Mo Yiyi guessed that the thing was trying to escape, but was stuck by the magic circle that suddenly opened!
Before Noila Mo could react, Zheng Qingbai swung his fly whisk and rushed out angrily!
The statue was stuck on it, and it was impossible to get in or out, but Zheng Qingbai caught him!
The statue was wrapped by Zheng Qingbai with a fly whisk, and it was wrapped tightly with a cover in the sky before disappearing. Mo Yiyi asked in hindsight.
"Where did this statue come from?"
There were traces of filthy air on this statue. Although it was not strong, it was not enough for Mo Yiyi to ignore.
She has lived in Guang'an City for so long, but she has never discovered it!
The black-robed elder retracted his hands under his sleeves, and the core of the magic circle slowly sank and disappeared, which meant that the abnormal investigation was completed.
Ma Shilang looked very unhappy, but he still answered Mo Yiyi's question.
"Under the original address of the Hui family."
The original address of the Hui family?
Isn’t that under her academy???
Mo Yiyi panicked in her heart, but in the end, a defender in the foundation-building period comforted Mo Yiyi.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Mo. There were no casualties in the academy. It was just that some of the ground was damaged when it broke out of the ground."
Hearing that there were no casualties, Noila Mo felt half relieved.
As long as there are no casualties, it will be fine. If there is some damage to the ground, there will be some damage. It will be backfilled when the time comes. It is not a big deal.
When Zheng Qingbai came back with the statue, he promised Mo Yiyi.
"Thanks to Mo Xiaoyou for reminding and helping me this time, Mo Xiaoyou, don't worry, we will help make up for the damage caused this time!"
These court monks didn't look very good at the moment. It was very considerate of Zheng Qingbain to still think about Mo Yiyi's loss at this time.
Mo Yiyi knew that they still had something to discuss next, so she didn't stay long. After a few polite words with Zheng Qingbai, she left with the black-robed elder.
After walking out of the Yamen, Mo Yiyi curiously asked the black-robed elder what happened just now.
The black-robed elder did not hide anything. He used his spiritual power as a pen to condense words in the air and gave a brief summary of what had just happened.
It turns out that the formation was indeed manipulated, but the manipulation was not that the formation was tampered with, but that something was inserted into the formation!
What was inserted was the idol.
The insertion point of this statue is very clever, and the person who wanted to do this is also a master of array painting.
The existence of this statue is very sinister. It sucks the essence and blood of the people in the city all the time. However, each of them does not suck much, and it is covered by the large formation in the city. In addition, the personnel in the city change frequently.
There is an endless stream of caravans coming and going, but no one has ever noticed this giant rat!
This statue has existed in this city for an unknown length of time. The reason why it was so easily captured by Zheng Qingbai today is because it is not the main body of the statue!
All the essence and blood sucked by this statue were supplied to the evil god who didn't know where he was.
No one knows now how many statues like this there are, how many people in the city have been tampered with, how far the evil god has been supported, and how many people with spiritual roots they have kidnapped under the eyes of the monks guarding the city.
child!
Just thinking about it makes these court monks feel chest tight and short of breath, and their eyesight goes dark!
After Mo Yiyi saw what happened, she also felt extremely annoyed.
"This evil god is so abominable, and the Gray family is also abominable! It's right under their house. They must know something. It's not even possible to say that they are the ones who did this!"
Let Mo Yiyi guess by herself, the black-robed elder was eating the fruit by himself.
After Mo Yiyi was angry for a while, she saw that the black-robed elder was still eating, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Elder, you have eaten so many fruits, how come your spiritual energy doesn't leak out?"
This elder was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many eighth-grade spiritual fruits he ate, he couldn't fill it up. He would not leak out any spiritual energy, which made Mo Yiyi a little suspicious that the spiritual energy contained in those eighth-grade spiritual fruits was fake.
Got it!
Of course, the black-robed elder would not answer Mo Yiyi's question. He continued to eat by himself, like an idol without feelings and emotions.
Noila Mo couldn't get an answer from the black-robed elder, but she couldn't help but feel curious, so she went to ask the system.
Although the system usually doesn't talk and looks very busy, sometimes it is very reliable.
When Mo Yiyi asked the system this question, although it delayed for a while, it gave her the answer.
[Of course it will not be leaked. These spiritual energy are just used to repair his own damage. 】
[Injury? You mean the elder is injured? 】
[Almost. If you want to come to the mortal world in the Mahayana period, you have to pay a price. For other monks, the mortal world is just a lack of spiritual energy, making their life uncomfortable. But for the monks in the Mahayana period, the mortal world is
This time is almost like purgatory.】
Mo Yiyi suddenly lost her voice and stood there blankly. The black-robed elder also stopped, without any reaction, and continued to eat the spiritual fruit.
[…You just said that he was injured. How did he get injured? What injury did he get?]
[Well, I can’t explain this clearly. I’ll be able to understand it after the host reaches the Mahayana stage. As for the injury, let’s put it this way, there should be no good flesh left under his black robe. 】
【……】
At this moment, Noila Mo was really at a loss.
【Are you serious??】
[Of course, if the host doesn’t believe it, you can lift his cloak and take a look. But he may not let the host lift it...]
Before the system could finish speaking, Noila Mo had already reached out to lift the black robe!
But the usually silent elder in black robe took a step back at this moment and missed Mo Yiyi's extended hand!
Noila Mo just stretched out her hand and watched the black-robed elder eating by himself, and suddenly she believed what the system said.
"Elder, have you been punished by heaven?"
The black-robed elder made a sound as he ate the fruit, and then his spiritual power wrote in the air: He will not die.
So yes!
No wonder, no wonder the elder is so mysterious, wearing a black robe and keeping silent. Not only does he not expose any skin, but he also keeps his aura so tightly!
Mo Yiyi didn't know what to say at this moment. She came out to do the disciple's task, and the elder came to protect her. She hadn't encountered any danger yet, but the elder who protected her was being tortured all the time!
Maybe it was because Mo Yiyi paused for a little longer, but the elder's spiritual power thread started to write again: Don't take it to heart, it's not a big deal.
The system is also trying to persuade Noila Mo at this moment.
[Don’t forget the host, he is a sword cultivator. Sword cultivators are very perverted. Sword cultivators in the Mahayana period are very strong. Even if they are cut to pieces by a thousand swords, they can still face it with a smile. ]
【fart!】
There is nothing that doesn’t hurt!
Noila Mo took a deep breath and then asked the system.
【Is there anything that can relieve it? 】
【No.】
[What about spiritual fruits? Are there any spiritual fruits with better effects? If you want spiritual fruits with repairing effects, what about yellow apricots? Are there any others? 】
[Host, these spiritual fruits are enough to eat all the time. With the temperament of the sword cultivator, even if you give him yellow apricots, he will not eat them. The spiritual energy in these spiritual fruits is enough for him to repair his own damage. ]
It is constantly being damaged and repaired. As long as the spiritual energy is sufficient, it will always be a small damage.
But Mo Yiyi, who knew about this, still felt sorry.
She should have been able to complete the task earlier. If she hadn't delayed it again and again, the elder wouldn't have suffered here with her!
The system saw that Noila Mo was indeed blaming herself, so after thinking about it, it gave a suggestion.
[How about the host draws another prize? I think this elder likes golden lotus very much. The host can give him a few more.]
When this was mentioned, Mo Yiyi suddenly had a new idea.
[System, do you have eighth-grade body-building materials? Cherish some and use them more easily.]
[Well...this system does exist, but the explosion rate is a bit low.]
Mo Yiyi understands that the more precious something is, the harder it is to draw it out. She is very confident in her luck in the lottery!
After all, her expectations have never been disappointed after such a long time, and she can get whatever she wants!
[It doesn’t matter, just take a look!]
Butanol and the others have been exploring the island, and the number of draws on Mo Yiyi's side has been increasing.
It's just that Mo Yiyi came to draw the lottery with full confidence, but she didn't want to draw it five times in a row, and every time it was golden lotus!
Three flowers, five flowers, eight flowers, eleven flowers, twenty-one flowers!
More and more each time, but what's the use, she doesn't want golden lotus!
"Why are they all golden lotus?..." You don't know how to operate the system in secret, right?
Mo Yiyi didn't pay attention and said what she said to the system. Fortunately, the system stopped her mid-sentence.
However, the first half of the sentence was clearly heard by the black-robed elder, and then Linglisi began to write in the air: What are all golden lotuses? Where are the golden lotuses?
