The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 352 Yan Chixia: Are you from the Emei sect? Then what sect do you think I am?

"Well……"

Seeing Fu Tianchou's reaction so fiercely, Zheng Zha scratched his head in embarrassment and said comfortingly: "Sir, don't worry, my senior brother, the head of the family, should have more than 20,000 taels of gold."

"If it is used to help the victims, I believe that the head brother will not be stingy with the money. Besides, if you can find Daxia Yan first, won't you be able to save a thousand taels?"

One ton of gold was converted into Ming Dynasty taels, which was about 25,700 taels. If all was used to buy grain, it would be enough to purchase more than 47 million jins.

In times of famine, people must cook gruel instead of dry rice, so the average person only needs two or two meters per day.

Calculated in this way, it is enough to feed 2 million people for three to four months.

If people can eat, they will have the energy to farm. After three or four months, the next crop of grain will be almost mature, and the famine will be over by then.

In other words, this batch of gold brought by the Zhongzhou team is enough to keep 2 million people alive, which is a great merit.

Fu Tianqiu was overjoyed. He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I would like to thank you all on behalf of the victims. I will go down and order all local government offices to find the hero Yan as soon as possible."

Yan Chixia was startled when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"

After Shi'er sent the magistrate and his party outside the door, he ran back in a hurry and asked Yan Chixia: "Master, what do you think those monks who are looking for you are from?"

Changkong Wuji took the Qiankun Bag and flew to Yingtian Mansion again.

The magistrate shook his head and said: "There is no such order. It only says that after we find the Taoist priest, we will temporarily ask the Taoist priest to wait for a while and send people to notify the group of monks."

…

Yan Chixia, who was meditating in the room, suddenly opened her eyes and murmured in her heart.

"The hero Master Li is looking for lives in seclusion in this county. Heifeng Cliff is a dangerous place in this county."

Li Mu said happily: "Thank you very much, brother."

However, he had already retired from the world and no longer cared about officialdom. Although he admired Fu Tianchou very much, he did not want to step into that vortex again.

But the monks who offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold to find him didn't know where they came from.

"Farewell."

After hearing this, Yan Chixia had an idea in her mind.

The county magistrate said: "I am not looking for Taoist Priest Yan, but someone else is looking for Taoist Priest. I just came to say hello to Taoist Priest. I will not go out in the near future."

After saying that, he jumped back to the second floor and continued to meditate. Shi'er scratched his head, shrugged indifferently, picked up the ax again, and started practicing in the courtyard.

Yan Chixia jumped down from the second floor just like before.

Li Mu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you Sun Baotou for leading the way. See you later."

Li Mu gently stroked his chin and said in a feigned surprise: "Master Yan seems to have learned a lot of things. He not only has the Taoist aura of our Emei sect, but also the unique thunder spirit aura of the Shenxiao sect of the Maoshan Sect."

"In addition to gold and silver, there are also sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other high-yield crops. We will have to bring some in the future. Maybe it will have miraculous effects in some reincarnation worlds."

Yan Chixia clasped her fists and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome. I have been away from officialdom for many years. I wonder what you want to do with me?"

At that moment, in addition to the bearers of the sedan chair, the master, the four constables, and the dozen or so government officials followed behind the magistrate, and followed Shi'er to the depths of the house.

Unfortunately, Emperor Shenzong died and Guangzong died less than a month after he succeeded to the throne. When Emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, he was gradually marginalized.

After saying that, he said to Changkong Wuji: "Wuji, go see the head brother, explain the situation to him, and ask him to give you the gold first and bring it back."

"Master Li, Master Yan lives here."

The two sisters, Qingfeng Yuechi, looked at the sight of Changkong Wuji wielding his sword and leaving with their eyes full of yearning.

"Hehehe..." Yan Chixia burst into laughter with a strange look on her face, then pointed to her nose and said, "Guess what sect I am from."

Li Mu and his party did not keep them waiting for too long. About two hours later, when the sun had just turned west, Sun Ji led a group of people to Wumenjuwai.

As the team was advancing on its own, a horse suddenly galloped forward. The rider on the horse was an official in uniform and armed with a sword.

Li Mu left more than 1,700 taels of gold, while Changkong Wuji took away 24,000 taels, a total of 8,000 taels.

The master stood sideways and introduced: "This is the magistrate of this county. He is here to pay a visit to Taoist Yan Chixia Yan."

Thinking of this, Yan Chixia said: "Well, I won't go out in the near future. After those monks arrive at Nanling, you can bring them to me."

He jumped down from the second floor. As soon as he landed, the magistrate hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Taoist Master Yan, I apologize for disturbing you."

When Li Mu heard what he said, he looked back with a smile and said to him appreciatively: "That's right. This is a very good suggestion. It seems that you have grown up too."

Just when Sun Ji and Li Mu met up, a group of uninvited guests also arrived in an abandoned mansion in the north of Nanling County.

Shi'er said: "The county magistrate came here to say hello this morning and asked my master not to go out. He has been waiting for you at home. Come in first."

A few years ago, the capital was squeezed out of the center of power and sent to Nanying Tianfu.

"Disaster relief is urgent. Delay will lead to changes, so we must do it quickly. If we raise food every moment in the morning, the people will be able to survive longer."

The master said to the magistrate: "Sir, Taoist Master Yan lives here, why don't you call the door?"

Li Mu took the lead and cupped his fists at Yan Chixia and said, "Li Mu, the current head of the Emei Sect, has met Daxia Yan."

"I have something very important to discuss with Taoist Master Yan, and I would like to ask my little brother to introduce it."

The county magistrate said happily: "Thank you very much, Taoist Master. I will not disturb the Taoist Master's Qingxiu. I will take my leave."

Liu Zhao admired and said: "I am lucky enough to see the legendary sword immortal's ability to control the sword in the air in this life, and Liu Zhao will die without regrets."

After hearing what the master said, he asked in surprise: "What does the magistrate want to do with my master?"

…

Upon seeing this, Li Mu cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Li Mu, what advice do you have from Mr. Cha?"

Zhang Jie nodded in agreement: "As long as Fu Tianchou has the impression of being selfless and caring about the people, then many things in the future will become easier to handle."

When they encountered a town, they would stay in an inn in the town. If they missed their place of residence, they would pitch a tent in the wild for the night.

"Haha..." Li Xiaoyi was extremely happy when he received Li Mu's praise. He scratched his head and giggled a few times.

The magistrate said "Hmm", and the master immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door. As a result, the door opened without a latch.

He turned the horse's head and made the horse trot ahead. Li Mu and others also lightly knocked on the horse's belly and followed closely.

Li Mu smiled and nodded: "That's right. May I ask, brother, if your respected master can be at home?"

An official wearing a green official uniform, a black gauze hat, and a mustache on his lips bent down and walked out of the sedan. He was the magistrate of Nanling County.

"Yes, Master, sir, please."

Several police officers and a dozen government officials protected a sedan and stopped at the entrance of the abandoned mansion.

"In order to prevent the demon from using dirty tricks to kidnap you, we have no choice but to act like this. I hope you will forgive me."

Immediately he stood up and walked to the window, looked down, and saw the magistrate of Nanling County standing in the courtyard with a group of government officials.

Sun Ji on the side said: "Master Li, after I have finished my errands, I still need to go back to the Yamen to report to the Lord, so I will take a step forward."

After arriving at the atrium, Shi'er shouted as usual: "Master, those fellow Taoists who are looking for you are here!"

Seeing the magistrate's kind attitude, Shi'er couldn't help but feel a little more favorable, and said: "My master is doing Qingxiu at home, sir, come with me!"

If this is the case, he can help. Slaying demons is the only meaning of his life now, as long as it no longer involves officialdom.

The journey was very peaceful in the next few days. Zhan Lan and Zelan carried sufficient camping supplies in their Qiankun bags.

The magistrate took two steps forward with a smile on his face and said pleasantly: "It turns out that the little brother is Taoist Master Yan. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Li Xiaoyi thought of something and said to Li Mu: "Brother, it seems that it is very beneficial to bring more gold and silver when entering the world of reincarnation."

Zheng Zha said happily: "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

After a while, a young man with a strong build, sweat on his forehead, and an ax in his hand walked out.

Everyone dismounted and got off their horses. Seeing this dilapidated mansion, Li Mu and others were completely relieved that this was the right place.

The main reason is that except for the sleeping area, he has not tidied up the rest of the place. No matter the main hall or the side hall, they are all dilapidated and covered with cobwebs, and there is not even a place to entertain guests.

I have been away from officialdom for many years, what can the magistrate do to me?

This group of monks are willing to donate money for disaster relief, which shows that they are also righteous people who care about the common people.

Changkong Wuji heard the words and responded: "Yes, senior brother."

"Master Yan..." Li Mu looked up and down, and even used his spiritual consciousness to move around Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia naturally sensed this spiritual consciousness, but did not pay attention to it. She still had a half-hearted smile on her face.

Yan Chixia paced, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Master Fu, did you say you want to see him down there?"

Seeing the master and a group of officials, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Who are you looking for?"

Sun Ji nodded and said, "Please follow me."

But Zheng Zha said: "No need, we are here to protect your safety, so from now on, we will stay near you for twelve hours."

Yan Chixia rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "How do I know? Just wait at home and you will know when the time comes. Practice well and don't embarrass me in front of outsiders."

Fu Tianchou said gratefully: "What did Mr. Zheng say? You have worked tirelessly for my life and the destiny of the Ming Dynasty. How can I have any objections?"

The county magistrate said: "First, a group of monks offered a reward of a thousand taels of gold to find the Taoist priest. Later, Master Fu, the Minister of War, also ordered to find the whereabouts of the Taoist priest."

The magistrate said happily: "Thank you very much, little brother."

Then I saw the words "Wumenju" engraved on the door, but there was a door underneath, and looking at the new wood color of the door, it was obvious that it had just been installed.

Shi'er quickly ran out, saw Li Mu and others, and asked tentatively: "Are you the Taoist friends who have offered a reward of a thousand taels of gold to find my master?"

You don't have to go see him yourself, but let yourself wait for the group of monks. Then there is probably a troublesome monster somewhere, and you want to ask yourself to eradicate it.

Everyone in the Zhongzhou team was happy, and Li Mu said happily: "That's great, I've got Sun Yat-sen to lead the way."

"Qingfeng Yuechi, please greet Mr. Zheng and the others well on my father's behalf and arrange a place for them."

"Who is it?" A voice came from the mansion and asked, and the voice sounded very young.

The knight rushed forward. When he saw clearly the clothes of Li Mu and his entourage, he suddenly reined in his horse, ran slowly to stop in front of Li Mu and Zhang Jie, clasped his fists and said, "May I ask, are you Mr. Li?"

Hearing Zheng Zha's words, Fu Tianchou was deeply moved. This is the true cultivator who truly cares about the common people!

He looked at the top of the door and couldn't help showing a strange look.

The eyes that looked at Zheng Zha and the others flickered slightly, as if they had some thought.

If he comes to find me, it's probably because he has some national affairs and wants to ask for his help.

He never thought about entertaining guests, so he always had to talk to people in the courtyard.

The sedan came down, and a middle-aged man who looked like a master came forward and opened the curtain of the sedan in a very shameless manner.

Seeing this, the master had no choice but to shout loudly: "Is anyone at home?"

Upon hearing that Li Mu announced his family status, Yan Chixia's eyes suddenly widened and she said in astonishment, "What sect do you think you are from?"

The knight said happily: "I am arresting Sun Ji in Nanling County. I was ordered by the county magistrate to come to meet Mr. Li and his party."

On the official road, not long after Li Mu and his party set off, they saw a ray of light falling from the sky, and Wuji appeared in the sky.

Li Mu smiled at Zhang Jie beside him and said: "It seems that Zheng Zha and the others have done a good job. It is very necessary for us to have a good reputation in this reincarnation mission."

He reported the situation to Li Mu in detail. Without saying a word, Li Mu took out several hundred gold bars to keep, and then handed the Qiankun Bag directly to him.

Yan Chixia's heart moved. Fu Tianchou certainly knew that he was the only good official among the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Mu asked doubtfully: "Emei Sect, is there any problem with this?"

Sun Ji came to the door again and ran to the Yamen, while Li Mu and his entourage followed Shi'er into the house.

Yan Chixia nodded and said, "Sir, go slowly, pick up your children, and see off the guests."

"This year the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are serious. Those monks donated a large amount of money. Now Master Fu is presiding over the disaster relief work."

Since he became an official, he has been honest and upright, and has made decisions for the people. He has won the trust of Emperor Shenzong, and he has always admired him very much.

After three days of this, they had reached the territory of Ningguo Mansion. There was Nanling County dozens of miles ahead. Li Mu planned to rest in Nanling County today.

The young man was picked up by Yan Chixia more than ten years ago, so he was named Shier.

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction. Upon seeing this, Sun Ji stepped forward and opened the door, calling: "Is Master Yan at home?"

When they arrived at the atrium, Shi'er raised his head and shouted to the second floor of the main room: "Master, the magistrate is looking for you!"

The two sisters said in unison: "Okay daddy."

After speaking, he strode out of the main hall, pointed his sword, and unsheathed the long sword. He jumped on the long sword, squeezed the magic formula with his hand, and a crimson light immediately enveloped him, then shot straight into the sky and flew towards the south.

.

"In addition to these Taoist exercises, there is also the atmosphere of Buddhism. It seems to be the Buddhism of the Wutai Mountains. This is surprising."

This is the reason why Yan Chixia has extremely high combat power but cannot live forever.

One method is found in the Tao, one skill is found in the Dharma, one method is learned from the east, and one skill is cobbled together from the west, but it is never a system, and one cannot understand the Tao. Naturally, there is no chance of the immortal way, and one can only cultivate the human way.

After listening to Li Mu's words, the smile on Yan Chixia's face gradually disappeared and she became serious.
