The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 26 Parade
"If that's the case, why did you come to Danyang? Dongjun is stable, so you can practice hard and cultivate your magic power as soon as possible, and then this old man can enjoy your blessing!"

Old Master He was so angry that he wanted to drive Wu Yong back to Dongjun.

It's just a market town. At worst they can just sell it at a low price. Why should they let Wu Yong gamble for it?

"That's not necessary. I brought a battalion of ghostly leather paper soldiers. I cast the altar last night and invited the Three Evils Battalion."

"Even if we don't want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, we should at least find someone to sacrifice, right?"

"After all, our two families have been operating Danjiang Market for more than 20 years. If we withdraw without a word, they will surely not be able to sleep peacefully in the future!"

Wu Yong swept his left sleeve.

The words have already been spoken, there is no reason to take them back.

What's more, Dongjun was afraid that it was about to be drawn into a bigger vortex, and Wu Yong's main purpose was to avoid that vortex!

If Jiuzhou is really a similar flower to the late Han Dynasty in his other world!
The noble son of the Yuan family might imitate the rebellion in Jizhou, and then Dongjun, Heishan, Danyang... no one will be able to escape, and the entire Dongzhou will be turned upside down by him.

Unless the one in Dongzhou who governs the people of Daoting takes action,
No matter how chaotic Danyang is, it is just a minor fight between the noble families in the prefecture and county. If someone stands in the way of the noble son of the Yuan family, he will probably end up in trouble immediately!

However, there was no way he could explain this matter in detail to the He family, he just made it clear that he knew what was going on.

"How is the market now? Why don't we go take a look?"

Wu Yong immediately changed the subject and suggested.

As far as he could remember, the original owner had been to Danyang County once when he was young, so this time he had to go to the Jiang Street Market.

Take a look at this big market with river views in Danyang!
"In that case, let your uncle take you for a walk."

The old man picked up his cane, turned slowly and walked towards the back hall.

He couldn't persuade this brat. He's only been the eldest son of the clan for a few days, and he's already so stubborn?

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

"Come back early if you are tired of playing. I will prepare a dinner in the mansion tonight and invite those fellow Daoists who are still in the other courtyard to come along!"

The old man waved his hand and asked He Miao to take Wu Yong for a good tour in Danyang.

He had to prepare a banquet in the evening to welcome his grandson.

Naturally, He Miao did not neglect it either. He asked the attendant to serve Wu Yong a cup of tea and then went back to the courtyard to arrange the affairs of the trip.
"cousin!"

Wu Yong was sitting in the lobby sipping Danyang's unique jujube sour tea when he heard a timid call.

"Oh? Sister Yan'er."

"Why, you haven't been so timid for a few days?"

Wu Yong put down the teacup, stood up and joked.

When he broke off the engagement at Wu's mansion in Dongjun, he was so heroic, but he must have been scolded after returning home, right? Hahaha!
"Brother Yong! Long time no see." Then there was another hearty laugh.

I saw a refined scholar walking slowly towards me with square steps, calling out to Wu Yong affectionately.

This is He Miao’s legitimate son, He Yan!

Wu Yong had traveled day and night to come to help, and the three of them, father and son, brother and sister, should play the role of hosts and take Wu Yong to visit Danyang.

"Cousin Yan!"

Wu Yong also bowed slightly and started chatting with the brother and sister.

"It's all thanks to my cousin, otherwise we would have been ordered by the old man not to go out during this period of time." He Yan chuckled.

Ever since the Danjiang market was looted a few days ago, the He family's direct and collateral branches were basically no longer allowed to go out, and no one talked about news from the outside world, which made them very depressed.

"Alright, alright, the old man is doing this for your own good. Today you brothers and sisters have to fulfill your duties as hosts and take Yong'er to visit the Danjiang Market."

He Miao walked out from behind the screen and stuffed a jade token into He Yan's hand.

He waved to the three people and told them to go on their own.

In the original owner's memory, he had a good impression of He Yan. Every January, the old man of the He family would almost always bring He Yan to visit Dongjun, which also allowed the two of them to form a close bond!

He Yan took the jade token from his father's hand and ran out with Wu Yong and the other two.

This moment is just like the past!

He Yan, who was also a teenager, led his younger brothers and sisters to play in the yard.

"I haven't seen Brother Yong much in the past two years. How have you been lately?"

He Yan waved his hand and asked the Taoist boy to bring over the white crane. The white crane is also one of Danyang’s specialties. The south bank of the Zhujiang River has always been the habitat of cranes and storks!
Danyang County has a law that prohibits destroying the Linghe Ferry on the south bank, and from time to time there are people feeding and raising them. Danyang families have also obtained many Linghe mounts here.
"Not bad!"

"However, we don't need to be too ostentatious. The market town is right next to the river, so why not travel light?" Wu Yong shook his head.

If one were only going to stroll around the market town, there would be no need to make such a grand trip by riding a white crane or sitting on a jade chariot.

"Yes, brother! The people in the neighborhood have just suffered a disaster and people are worried. It's better to keep a low profile!" He Yan also advised.

The market town had just been robbed, and many individual shops had been ransacked. It seems a bit out of touch with the real world for your He family to go out with such a grand ceremony!
Seeing the two people's opposition, He Yan stretched out his right hand, returned the magic whip to the Taoist boy, and ordered him to lead the spirit crane back.

"That's true. I didn't think it through!" He Yan said with a wry smile.

It's true that he didn't understand this, but Wu Yong had come from afar, so he couldn't let him travel in such a shabby way!

"Then let's take a few guards and travel light!"

"Danyang is relatively stable, and it is surrounded by rivers and the sea, so the local customs and people are quite unique."

After saying that, He Yan led three Qigong Taoists and Wu Yong's four guards to form a large team.

Just take a mortal carriage, bypass the downtown area, and go straight to the Danjiang market along the river!

"Brother Yong, take a look. This is a kind of talisman weapon that came from Penglai Sea two years ago!"

"Using spirit stones and spirit beads to activate the talisman, this mechanical bull beast can be made to plow and till the fields. Even mortals can easily control it. The spirit beads can be reused. When the spirit power is exhausted, they can be handed over to the Immortal Puppet Sect for recycling. You can buy the next spirit bead at half the price!"

He Yan pointed at the iron ox made of machinery and pear wood on the ridge of the field and laughed.

There was an old man sitting on the mechanical iron bull, with a bulging cloth bag hanging on each side of the iron bull's waist. It seemed that the bull had a good harvest today.

The ingenious skills of the Penglai Sea are becoming more and more popular, and the talismans that keep appearing begin to flood into the homes of ordinary people, from the spiritual lights, talisman horses, self-propelled boats, and spirit puppets that people use in their daily lives...

Then there are the cannons, crossbows, flying shuttles, and mechanical cows and horses that have appeared in recent years!
The Taoist Court is located high on Mount Yujing, where immortals and mortals from all over the world live together, and the mortals in this world also enjoy the benefits brought by the immortal way.

The little child is so happy to have the magical stork and the yellow dog as companions. The county school and Taoist temple also help him to enlighten his wisdom and keep his innocent heart!

The lonely old man has a spirit puppet to accompany him, and he can also place his sorrow on it, so that he will not be lonely in his old age. The old farmer in the mountains also has the support of the county government, and the help of the oxen and horses. During the spring planting and autumn harvest, he can also cultivate some old medicine.

The fishermen have their own boats, which enable them to avoid wind and waves, sail on rivers, pick lotus and clams, and travel through deep and marshland.
The great world of Kyushu has a magnificent majesty and can be regarded as a prosperous era.

Wu Yong followed He Yan all the way from the He family mansion and saw the rise of urban culture. There were many peddlers and hawkers in every street and alley, and they were all laughing and talking, unlike the so-called "lower class" struggling to survive.

"The Dao Court divides cultivation into nine grades, and uses Dao law to suppress and restrain all cultivators, causing countless geniuses to be suppressed by the ninth grade of the aristocratic families, and die in depression."

"But I still love Daoting alone!"

He Yan lifted the carriage curtain and said calmly.

"The Dao Court is stubborn, but its path of cultivation leads to the outside world, to conquer the outer world, to travel the heavens, so that my Nine Provinces are stable and the people are safe. Even if you are a disabled beggar, three meals a day is enough to fill your stomach."

"I only love Daoting!"

"Because it puts my race first, and I was born a human, how can I not be grateful to it?"

After hearing He Yan's words of love, Wu Yong began to look at her with a new respect.

To seek cultivation from the outside rather than from within is also quite consistent with Wu Yong's way of cultivation.

The Dao Court has been high in the sky for tens of thousands of years, and indeed many geniuses have appeared there whose paths have been blocked by the nine-grade karma system.

But, it is really impossible to criticize it thoroughly. At least the Dao Court has done a good job in this regard internally. Just for this reason, the Jiuzhou world will never forget the Dao Court above Yujing for hundreds of thousands of generations!
"The biggest difference between Danyang and Dongjun is the wind!"

"The wind of Dongjun is the wilderness wind blowing from the thousands of mountains in the southern region. It is wanton and disorderly. It contains traces of earth and wood, and it goes straight from Dongjun to Shouchun and up to Qingzhou."

"The wind in Danyang is the river wind, the sea wind, the flowing wind that flows from Tongtian River and Zhujiang River straight to Penglai Sea. This wind is full of traces of waterways, and it is really refreshing!"

The Wu family has always been involved in wind science and is particularly sensitive to wind.

To Wu Yong, every change in the traces of Dao in the wind was like a new dish on the table today, so novel.

"My cousin, what you said is quite profound. My brother and I don't practice Feng Dao, but we don't feel anything at all! Hahahaha." He Yan teased.

"Look, that area ahead is the Danjiang Market! Although some things happened a while ago, there are still many Taoists coming and going."

Danjiang Market is located in the north of Danyang, on the south bank of Zhujiang River. It connects to Zhujiang River in the north and Danyang in the south. The Taoist groups and small sects of monks in the nearby counties and counties realize their daily supplies and output through this market.

Although it cannot be said that the income is huge, but at least for the counties around Danyang, it is the favorite place for Taoists who are just starting their Taoist journey!
When the carriage reached the outskirts of the market town, servants and guards came to greet it.

"How are you, fellow Taoist!"

"These carriages, horses and spirit animals can be placed in the outer market area, and we will take care of them."

The Taoist priest guarding the market town greeted the convoy of carriages and spoke softly. Perhaps it was because Wu's guards were walking in the front that he waited for a while before recognizing them.

It was not until He Yan got off the carriage that he was startled and said in surprise:

"My dear Master Yan!"

"Why did you come here at this time? Things have been unsettled lately, and people are unsettled. There are many people doing no-cost business around the market."

This Taoist was also from a branch of the He family. When he saw He Yan, he thought that He Yan had escaped secretly and immediately became anxious.

Then, He Yan and Wu Yong got off the carriage one after another.
The Taoist immediately realized something.

"No problem, the old man asked me to take my cousin around and visit our market!"

"You go and do your thing. We'll go back home after we finish shopping."

He Yan held the arm of the Taoist Taire affectionately with both hands, gently pushed the Taoist out, and said with a smile.

Then he waved his hand and headed towards the market with Wu Yong and the other two.

During this time, Wu Yong and his companions passed by the Taoist priest, looked at each other and nodded slightly, then followed He Yan to stroll around the market.

The Danjiang Market initially opened up four streets in a square shape, quite similar to a courtyard house, with nearly seventy shops and an open landscape garden in the center.

When the Wu family was in control, they sold nearly thirty shops to various prominent families and monks who were proficient in various arts.

Later, stalls were marked out in a large open space in the middle of the street, where young Qigong practitioners could set up their stalls for a day by paying a few Daozhu. And because there would be some supervision on counterfeiting and deception, the reputation of Danjiang Market is still quite good!

At this time, He was in charge of the shops on the East and South streets, but most of them were sublet.

"In this market, the stalls in the center are actually more lively than the shops on the street. There are indeed many Taoists who can get good things in uninhabited areas and mountains."

"Last year, a wild Taoist caught a baby Gyarados in some unknown sea area, and it was bought by the river patrol Taoist for 50,000 Taoist baht in the market!"

"It's a good thing that the old man personally escorted him to Shouchun, otherwise those guys who were trying to take advantage of him would be more greedy than the other!"

He Yan smiled.

He pointed his right hand towards the center of the market. There were quite a few scattered stalls crowded with people.

"Ever since the incident in the market town, there are fewer monks coming and going!" He Yan shook her head.

The market at this time was much quieter than usual.

They brother and sister had been hanging around in this market since they were young. At that time, He Jin had not yet achieved the status of a foundation-building sorcerer, and he served as a Taoist priest practicing Qigong and served as the guardian of this market.

Whenever the Taoist temple was closed, the brother and sister would stay in this market with He Jin, and they developed a special feeling for this market!

"That's interesting!"

"What happened next? What happened to that wild Taoist? He had to be escorted by the old man. How much did it cost to ask the old man to escort him away?"

"."

Wu Yong was intrigued by this interesting incident. He asked about what happened next along the way while he went shopping with the brother and sister, looking at the special Qi-training products from the coastal area.

The Taoist priest who guards the market town learned that the He brothers and sisters were there to act as hosts and guides. After a long time, he finally realized something!
"So, that is?"

The Taoist once again looked uncertainly at the guards following the three men. He keenly noticed a corner of the Wind Controlling Decree revealed under the robe of one of the Taoist guards.

It was immediately clear in my heart.

It’s someone from the Wu family coming!
But he is so young, and is called cousin by He Yan. Even if the Taoist is dull, he knows that he is the new head of the Wu family!
"Snapped!"

The Taoist flicked the whip in his hand and spoke solemnly to the Taoist guards in the market.

"Cheer up, everyone!"

"Young Master Yan is here, so you must do your job well."
