The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 20: Fuyao Wu Clan
"So, someone in Danyang has set his eyes on the half of the market that I gave to my mother's family?"

"Do you know who it is?"

Wu Yong frowned and asked.

He privately gave the title deed of Danyang Market to his mother's family, the He family. However, within a few months, someone already had their eyes on it.

From what he heard, it seemed that a ruthless move had already been made.

"Master Zong, the inside story is not something that a small casual cultivator like me can know. We rely on the stalls to survive, and the bandits have blocked the entire Danyang market. A few days ago, they looted the He family market and killed many of their clansmen, making us lose the chance to survive!"

This casual cultivator has a mixed aura and weak spiritual power. The area of ​​a county in the Jiuzhou Great Realm should be a thousand miles in radius.

I guess he must have traveled non-stop across the county.

Wu Yong thought for a moment, then called over the Taoist servant and said:

"Qinglai, go get the jade talisman for me. Zibiao Danyang - He family, ask what's going on. Do you need any help?"

This jade communication talisman is the immortal version of a communication tool. It is divided into two letter talismans, the mother talisman for sending messages and the child talisman for receiving messages. Even if the two are thousands of miles apart, it only takes a few breaths of time to communicate.

"Yes!" The Taoist boy slowly retreated.

Wu Yong looked at the messenger cultivator of lower rank, and saw that he was sweating profusely. He knew that he had also traveled a long way, so he personally poured him a cup of tea to express his gratitude! !
"In this case, I have to thank this fellow Taoist for telling me. Let's have some tea and rest for a while. I will discuss this with Mr. He!"

The latter also refused repeatedly and dared not accept it.

Wu Yong's sincerity could not be hindered, and he finally held the tea awkwardly and took a few sips.

Of course, Wu Yong would not completely believe his one-sided statement. The inside story could only be determined after receiving the full message!

When the servant boy brought the jade message talisman from the East Garden, the pair of talismans looked like a foldable book, with the mother talisman on the left and the child talisman on the right.

The mother talisman sends the message and the son talisman receives it.

It looks like a folding screen of the Xiandao version.
However, just as Wu Yong turned over the new talisman and was about to connect to the He family of Danyang.

Just in time!

An anonymous letter was sent to his communication symbol.

Wu Yong glanced at him, and a layer of gloom suddenly covered his brows. He sat quietly in the main seat, without moving for a long time!
It turned out that everything that happened in the county government today was recorded by someone and reported to Wu Yong!
"Did the Shouchun Temple Master who parachuted in from Yujing gain power by controlling the Taoist Temple?"

Wu Yong's thoughts turned slightly, and he arranged the information.

The abbot of Shouchun, Yuan, is going to take advantage of the changes in Wugulin to make a big fuss. Is he going to step on the reputation of several families and take control of Dongjun Taoist Temple?
Will the old dragon of the Ying family summon me to see him tomorrow?
Humph! What a grand ceremony! Are they going to make me a knife to block this wave of attacks?
Wu Yong's thoughts gradually came into focus, but, Wu Xuan had just been dragged into his mansion, and was she going to be used as an example to scare the monkeys?
Thinking of this moment, Wu Yong repeatedly sent messages to Danyang He
The Danyang He family was originally a local noble family with strong bloodline. Every year, members of the family entered the Taoist temple to become Qigong practitioners. They then began to support the clan and set up a clan school.
Over time, they became a powerful family of practitioners in Danyang County.

After the eldest daughter of the He family married into the Wu family, relying on this relationship, the Danyang He family managed the market for the Dongjun Wu family and guarded the trade routes. After several decades, they gradually became a powerful force and barely stepped into the threshold of a prominent family. There were also two sorcerers in the family!

One is Wu Yong's maternal grandfather, and the other is Wu Yong's uncle. The two sorcerers are from the same lineage, and are considered to be popular among the clan, with a good cohesive force.

But what can be said is that these two people can indeed be considered "honest men"!
He rose through the ranks step by step from being a hired Qigong practitioner in the county government's Taoist temple. He doesn't have much calculation in his mind, but is rather stubborn!
Wu Yong sent a message, but the two were still hiding the truth from him. They just said that everything was fine and asked Wu Yong to rest assured, as they would come to congratulate the Wu family later.
"You guys, there's really nothing we can do about you!"

Wu Yong raised the corner of his mouth and sent a direct message to inquire about the losses of the He family. He also said that he would bring several warlocks and a battalion of guards to help overnight!

It was because this maternal family was humble and honest, and had a sense of boundaries, otherwise Wu Yong would have turned hostile when He Yan privately broke off the engagement.

"Qinglai, go to Xiyuan again. No, go to the treasury first to invite Madam Xi, and then go to inform the chief steward Yifanlie."

Asking his trusted Taoist boy to run errands again, Wu Yong glanced at the casual cultivator.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Although the cause is that the market has affected your livelihood, I still want to thank you for taking such a big risk to come across the county to inform me. After all, the He family is my mother's family!"

Wu Yong bowed again, then took out a mustard seed bag and put some things in it.

"I will give you five thousand Daozhu coins and five great medicinal herbs. You should not return to the market from now on, otherwise the person behind the scenes will target you for no reason."

"No one, whether it's the Wu family servants or the monks, knows what you have. When we set out, take your relatives with you. Keep a low profile and find a place to hide from the limelight!"

Wu Yong slowly walked up to the casual cultivator and placed the mustard seed sac in his hand.

The Dao salary of a senior Qigong practitioner from an ordinary family as a bodyguard is only over a thousand Daozhu a month, while the net income of a casual cultivator in the market town is less than three hundred Daozhu a month. Five thousand Daozhu is equivalent to his income for two years. In addition, these five large medicinal herbs are in excellent condition and are worth no less than several thousand Daozhu!

The casual cultivator suddenly received this reward and didn't know what to do. He was just an ordinary casual cultivator, struggling to make a living, and didn't ask for anything in return. He was just so angry that he ran thousands of miles to file a complaint.
But when he received the reward which was close to his three-year income, he couldn't refuse it!

Wu Yong smiled and patted his shoulder!

"Please accept it, my friend. The road ahead is not easy, just look forward!"

After comforting him a few words, he sent him down to rest.

Wu Yong knocked on the table, waiting for Xu Miaoxi to arrive.

In a few days, the parachuted dean from Shouchun's upper-class family will come to Dongjun and use the reputation of the three families to gain power!

Wu Yong couldn't really hand over Wu Xuan and let the Taoist temple behead her as a protest. He just said he wanted to take her in as a side branch.
As for acting as a pawn of the county magistrate Ying, that was even more impossible, as he would probably become a victim caught in the cracks.

It would be better to avoid it and run away?
It just so happened that while the two sides had not yet come into contact, he rushed to Danyang overnight. The round trip, plus the help from the He family, would take at least ten days to avoid a confrontation between the two sides!
Afterwards, there was another reason to claim ignorance.

Just do it!

Hearing the hurried footsteps outside the hall, Wu Yong stood up and went to greet them. He saw Xu Miaoxi moving lightly with lotus steps, her delicate body trembling, and she almost bumped into Wu Yong.

"Sister-in-law, come with me to the secret room!"

Wu Yong didn't have time to explain, and pulled Xu Miaoxi towards the inner storehouse of the mansion where no one could enter.

This scared Xu Miaoxi.

Secret.Secret room?

"Brother Yongyong, isn't it bad to do this late at night?"

Countless chaotic thoughts flashed through her mind. She was somewhat resistant, as if her body had softened. However, Wu Yong seemed to be more anxious, and pulled her roughly towards the East Garden.

Wu Yong rolled his eyes. He didn't have the courage to do anything rebellious at the moment, but he was a little anxious.

He took a deep breath and said softly:

"Manager Lie's Disha magic weapon is still lacking some heat. I guess it's because of the limit of the precious materials required to refine the magic weapon. So, I decided to order two precious materials for him!"

"Sister-in-law, you must come with me to the inner storehouse tonight to search for it. We should also clean up the treasures in the inner storehouse and place some of them in the family treasury in case the sorcerers need them on weekdays!"

After all, the inner treasury is not often open!

"My sister-in-law has also achieved the foundation building. After solidifying the magic talismans, she will start to refine the magic tools. She also has to start thinking about it." This is one of the reasons. I promised Wu Lie the precious materials, and I must not break my promise. I should take them out as soon as possible!

Secondly, it was also to take Xu Miaoxi to familiarize herself with the route. After all, she was now in charge of the external treasury and was able to manage it in an orderly manner.

Hearing Wu Yong's words, Xu Miaoxi blushed. She knew that she was thinking too much, but she really wanted to take a look at the legendary inner treasury.

Soon, she put the embarrassment behind her and listened calmly to Wu Yong's instructions.

"I just got the news that in the Danyang market that was gifted to the He family, some bandits caused a commotion, killed many people, looted the entire market, and threatened not to allow the He family to appear in the market again."

Wu Yong spoke in a cold voice.

He originally wanted to support the He family, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to avoid being slapped in the face two days later.

Therefore, he made arrangements for Xu Miaoxi in advance. He wanted to take Wu Xuan away from the limelight and avoid the most intense game. Afterwards, there would be room for maneuver!
"The inner treasury has unearthed a batch of precious materials. We can ask the chief sorcerer in the mansion to exchange them for Dao Lu and merits to equip you a little bit."

"Because I have to go to Danyang to help, I will have to trouble you to take care of the affairs in the mansion. You can also take a piece of top-grade treasure and practice a good magic weapon. Once the embryo is ready, it can be promoted to a magic weapon when you condense the energy and refine the evil spirit."

Wu Yong instructed and gave Xu Miaoxi considerable authority.

"Also, the Taoist temple's rest period has arrived. Sister-in-law must send someone to bring Lingxiu back. I'm afraid this little girl is bored with the hard training in the Taoist temple for the past six months!"

When mentioning this cheap sister, Wu Yong couldn't help but smile.

"The students in the Taoist Academy are on vacation for three months. My Wu family has always simply hired some students for both investment and support."

"Sister-in-law, you can send people to keep an eye on the students who are ordinary casual cultivators in the Taoist temple, and hire them to help out in the animal garden and the spiritual garden to cultivate some karma."

This is how many Qigong practitioners of the Wu family came from. They have been supporting and sponsoring students from ordinary Taoist academies since they were young. After graduation, most of them will come to the Wu family because of this connection!
There are only two aspects, one is the trip to the inner treasury, and the other is the preparation work for the Taoist temple's rest period.

As they talked, they quickly came to the East Garden, which was where the direct descendants of the Wu family lived. The inner treasury was located in the eight-sided glazed tower in the East Garden!
Wu Yong first used the treasury token in Xu Miaoxi's hand to open the first barrier, and then used the top-secret token to open the second and third restrictions before entering the Wu family's inner treasury.

Entering from the bottom of the tower, the first thing you see is a passage with various reliefs on both sides of the passage, depicting the deeds of the Fuyao Wu family from the founding of the family by the first ancestor.

On the top of the passage were countless luminous pearls, like a galaxy, dispelling the shadows but not being blinding.

Walking up along this spiral passage, Wu Yong led the way while introducing Xu Miaoxi:

"The inner treasury is in this eight-sided glazed tower. It is divided into three floors. The first floor contains various treasures, elixirs, talismans, formation flags, and magic tools. However, most of them have been gone when my grandmother passed away!"

Wu Yong removed the restriction and led Xu Miaoxi inside. The entire inner storehouse was extremely spacious. Isometric transparent glazed platforms were located in the inner storehouse, equally divided horizontally and vertically, and arranged in sequence. There were countless pearls lingering on the top, illuminating the entire inner storehouse like daylight!
Unfortunately, nearly 70% of the platforms were already empty. Only the side closest to the west still had more than 30 colorful glazed pedestals, on which were placed various magical instruments, battle flags, and treasures.
According to Xu Miaoxi's preliminary statistics, apart from the large number of precious materials that she did not recognize, these magic weapons, formation flags and precious materials were also worth more than tens of millions of Dao baht!
However, the precious materials that she didn't recognize were at least third-level and above, and the gold content of this inner treasury was still increasing.

"The Xunfeng Pearl is condensed from the Xunfeng of the Nine Heavens. Only a great wizard who has reached the third level of the Immortal Path can enter the outer heaven to collect the Xunfeng Qi. Or maybe it can only be produced on a few rare top-level spiritual peaks in Jiuzhou!"

"Silk from the silkworm, spun by the third-order silkworm from Penglai Island, is the main material for most banners and robes. Well, this scroll might just be enough to weave a banner."

Wu Yong selected two precious materials that Wu Lie had requested, and then he took Xu Miaoxi to select a batch of various precious materials, preparing to send them to the Wu family's outer treasury.

The Wu family specializes in wind, and most of the remaining treasures are of wind, wind and fire, or wind and thunder attributes.

Wu Yong was about to ask Xu Miaoxi, but after calling her several times, there was no response, so he turned around and looked.

Xu Miaoxi was seen standing in front of a platform storing ornaments of ritual implements. Her beautiful eyes were moving over the ritual hairpins and robes, as if her entire soul was sucked into them.

"Sister-in-law? Are you listening?"

Wu Yong turned around and stood behind her, patting her shoulder gently, which made her realize what was going on.

"Well I'm here!"

Xu Miaoxi's face flushed as she spoke hesitantly.

Wu Yong walked to the front of the stage, removed the restrictions, opened the glazed stage, and pulled the robes, hairpins, talismans, and instruments on the shelf in front of him.

"Just take whichever one you like!"

Wu Yong quite domineeringly pulled the entire jewelry rack in front of Xu Miaoxi and let her choose.

"Really?" Xu Miaoxi's beautiful eyes sparkled.

Tears seemed to be dripping from her eyes. Her face flushed as she pinched Wu Yong's sleeve, wanting to take it but feeling embarrassed.

"This colorful feathered robe is beautiful, that embroidered silk robe is also beautiful, these two hairpins are also beautiful, and this magatama pendant is also beautiful."

Suddenly I had difficulty making a choice!
This reminded Wu Yong that there was also a woman among the Wu family's sorcerers, the eldest daughter Wu Lingxiu, and then there were several senior female Qigong practitioners.
"Why not just give them all away! These robes and pendants should be very popular among female cultivators. Sister-in-law, why don't you keep the ones you like and give the rest to the female cultivators in the clan!"

After taking out a fire-attributed hairpin and putting it in his arms, he collected the dozens of magic-level hairpins and ornaments on the table into the mustard seed bracelet on the table, and then handed them all to Xu Miaoxi!

This made the latter gasp for air, and he looked at Wu Yong with a red face. These were more than ten magical instruments! ! Xu Miaoxi had never seen so many magical instruments before.

"Get in close contact with the female cultivators in the mansion. Sister-in-law should have some help!"

Wu Yong told her to accept it with confidence and use it to make friends with other female cultivators. Just a small magical tool was enough to make a female cultivator who was already a Qigong practitioner in the mansion open up to her!
then.

Wu Yong began to formally introduce the inner treasury, and he took Xu Miaoxi to the top of the second floor of the tower.

The scene before her almost made her speechless!
The Wu family mansion was built on the Fuyao Mountain not far from Dongjun. This eight-sided glazed tower was located right on the top of the hill. However, when viewed from the outside, it was hidden by a formation and only a patch of mist could be seen!
Its true appearance can only be seen from the inside.

On the top of the tower is a huge formation. Sixteen giant pillars support the tower walls. In the center sits a stone tablet with windows on eight sides. The clouds outside the tower are almost real, and it seems that strong winds are constantly pouring in from outside the tower.

Thirty-six iron chains in the upper layer connected the giant pillars and the stone tablet! The energy was entangled in the chains, and the mist was constantly flowing!
“Is this Gang Qi?”

Xu Miaoxi asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes!" Wu Yong nodded.

"The most valuable thing in the Wu family's inner storehouse is not the treasures on the first floor, but this eight-sided glazed tower itself."

"The upper thirty-six heavenly formations can capture the wandering nine heavenly energy, and the lower seventy-two earthly evil formations can extract the earthly evil of the earthly branches."

"Have you not noticed that the people of my Wu family have never been worried about the evil spirit?"

"As long as the foundation is established, the great technique is determined, and the magic weapon is refined, the Gangsha step will naturally be taken care of by the clan."

Wu Yong was also extremely shocked at first. After all, Gangsha is the only way to refine spiritual power into magic power. Every kind of Gangqi and Shaqi is of great value.

The Wu family has this glazed tower, which means they are guarding a cash cow!

Although other top-notch families in the Jiuzhou Realm also have many such Feng Shui formations.

Wu Yong gently patted the shoulder of Xu Miaoci, who was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close, and began to make big promises!

"As the Wu family dies, you should work hard. Everything in the future belongs to us!"
