Chapter 24 Outside Lin Tian City
After Yang Yuyao stopped the carriage and asked Yi Ziqi to get on, Yi Ziqi put away his sword and took the initiative to take over the job of coachman. Because there was really no room for two people in the driving seat, Ye Qianqian took the initiative to get in. After getting out of the carriage, he stuck his head out and waited curiously for Yi Ziqi to tell him what happened. Yi Ziqi smiled at the expectant looks in Yang Yuyao and Ye Qianqian's eyes, and explained in detail why he chased them.
The story begins on the third day that Yang Yuyao and the others left Lingxiao Sect. On that day, their sect received an invitation letter from Xuanzhen Sect. This first sect today was planning to hold a recruitment meeting for all sects one week before the start of the recruitment meeting. The disciples held a martial arts tournament to show off their sect’s strength. As one of the first-class sects, Lingxiao Sect was naturally among those invited. As the leader of Lingxiao Sect, Chizhu Taoist readily agreed to attend the appointment and quickly decided on the personnel to go.
However, according to normal procedures, the monks of Lingxiao Sect only need to take a flying boat half a month in advance to reach the Xuanzhen Sect's residence comfortably. But Chizhu Taoist planned to find another way, singled out Yi Ziqi and let him go first, catch up with Yang Yuyao and the others and go to Xuanzhen Sect with them, as a test for Yi Ziqi. As for the others, it is still time to set off on the flying boat together.
After listening to Yi Ziqi's story, Yang Yuyao and Ye Qianqian both had sympathy in their eyes. Although they were happy to meet Yi Ziqi again and continue to travel with him, they also knew that Yi Ziqi originally wanted to accompany them. Xuanzhen Sect. But now with this arrangement... Taoist Chizhu, a master who cheats his own disciples, is really unceremonious. Those who didn’t know thought that Yi Ziqi had made some mistake and was punished!
"Haha, it's true. The other elders in the sect tried to persuade Master to think twice, but they were blocked by Master saying that young people should practice more." Yi Ziqi agreed with a bit of laughter and laughter. "By the way, A Yuan, you have a good hairstyle today!" After explaining, Yi Ziqi quickly noticed Yang Yuyao's hairstyle. He remembered that when he was separated from them, Yang Yuyao's hairstyle was as simple as possible. , but today I saw how his hair was carefully taken care of, which was somewhat surprising.
"Qianqian combed it. If you like it, you can ask her to comb it for you." Yang Yuyao explained expressionlessly. He really didn't care about hairstyle, as long as it didn't hinder his movements. But after combing Yang Yuyao's hair, Ye Qianqian seemed to have gained some new pleasure. She had to help Yang Yuyao do different hairstyles every day, but Yang Yuyao, who was really too lazy to do it himself, just let her do it.
"Uh, Qianqian helped comb it? You..." Yi Ziqi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, combing the hair of the opposite sex, but... He had only been separated from them for a few days, and their relationship was already that good? "This is not appropriate."
"Why isn't it suitable?" Yang Yuyao asked puzzledly. Ye Qianqian, who already thought it was nothing, turned red. Yang Yuyao looked at Ye Qianqian, even more confused.
"Well, A Yuan, it's like this. Generally, only couples will comb the hair of the opposite sex." Yi Ziqi didn't expect that Yang Yuyao had even forgotten these customs. "So let Qianqian help you comb your hair. If you don't have this relationship, then...if others find out, you will be criticized."
"Is there no other situation? Wouldn't women be able to ask Teacher Tony for help with hair styling?" Yang Yuyao, who felt that life was difficult, accidentally said words that were not suitable for this world. "It's really unfriendly to a cripple like me."
"There is indeed another situation where you can comb the hair of the opposite sex, but what about Teacher Tony?" Yi Ziqi asked in confusion.
"Teacher Tony is..." Yang Yuyao, who had dug a hole for himself, had to find a way to round off his words. "Teacher Tony is a type of person who has extremely high skills in doing hair." Yang Yuyao explained that in his impression, in some dynasties, there were people who opened shops to help people comb their hair, and they were known as being able to comb all kinds of hair. I'm proud of the difficult bun, but the world doesn't seem to have that look.
"A person who makes a living by combing people's hair? I've never heard of it." Ye Qianqian thought about it, feeling a little yearning for it. “If there were people like this, wouldn’t anyone with money be able to have beautiful hair?”
"That's right," Yang Yuyao nodded, "What is the other situation you mentioned, Ziqi?"
"The other situation is that the maid is helping to comb the hair." Yi Ziqi replied, "That is a service, so no one will talk about it."
"Then I am Brother Yuan's maid now. Under normal circumstances, no one will check the household registration." In order to keep her new hobby, Ye Qianqian did not hesitate to lower her status, "Or I am a servant, no problem!" Thinking of what she has now. Ye Qianqian, who was wearing all men's clothes, added.
"Then I am A Yuan's coachman?" Yi Ziqi thought for a while and felt that the identity of coachman was too alienating, "I am also the housekeeper."
"Are you playing house?" Yang Yuyao couldn't understand why these two people were devaluing themselves. Is it interesting to work for him?
They spent the next three days walking in the wilderness. After coming out of the valley with magnificent red leaves, they seemed to have arrived at a grassland. Except for a dirt road that looked like it had been crushed by train tracks for many years, it was surrounded by a vast expanse of withered yellow grass. It seemed lifeless, but from time to time one or two silly grasshoppers would pop out and bump into their carriage. In the distance, there will occasionally be birds scurrying out of the grass and soaring into the sky.
They drove along this dirt road for about two hundred miles, and farmland replaced the grass as the protagonist. The fields were filled with golden wheat, but it was supposed to be the busy farming season, but Yi Ziqi felt something was obviously wrong.
"There's a problem. Something might have happened here." Yi Ziqi stopped the carriage and said with a heavy expression.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Yang Yuyao and Ye Qianqian asked at the same time. They looked at the golden wheat fields and wondered why Yi Ziqi came to such a conclusion.
"Looking at the maturity of the wheat, this is the time when farmers are rushing to harvest the crops. If the wheat is not harvested and dried in time, once it starts to rain, all the hard work this year will be in vain." Yi Ziqi explained He said, "So at this time, the whole village should be dispatched to harvest wheat together, but you see, there is almost no one working in the fields."
"Could it be that those people wanted to wait until later to harvest?" Ye Qianqian guessed, but Yi Ziqi denied her.
"No, farmers care most about the season. Now is the time when the wheat grains are at their fullest, which will attract birds later. If we harvest at that time, the losses will be huge," Yi Ziqi said.
"Maybe there is a very dangerous and terrifying guy nearby. Those farmers either ran away or hid." Yang Yuyao, who understood what Yi Ziqi wanted to express, speculated according to Yi Ziqi's thinking, " Of course, the best way to confirm is to ask someone, and the most reliable way is to ask.”
"Well, yes, you should find someone to ask." Yi Ziqi agreed. However, unexpectedly, it took them nearly two hours to find a dark, skinny, and lame uncle. When they approached in a carriage, the uncle trembled obviously with fear, but there was a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Excuse me, uncle, I saw that the wheat here is growing well but no one is harvesting it. What happened?" Yi Ziqi jumped off the carriage and asked respectfully.
"Are you the immortal masters of Zhengren Sect?" The lame uncle staggered over and asked expectantly, "You are finally here."
"I'm sorry, we are just travelers passing through this place." Yi Ziqi's heart sank when he heard the uncle's question. "We don't know what happened here. I wonder if the uncle can tell us something."
"Of course." The light in the uncle's eyes went out again, but he still nodded and agreed to Yi Ziqi's request.
According to the uncle, demons began to appear in Lin Tiancheng, which governs this area, half a year ago. At first, the victims were only in Lin Tiancheng. No one knew what was going on at the time. The city lord of Lin Tiancheng summoned several monks living in the city to conduct an investigation. During the investigation, they happened to bump into the offending demon. The two sides had a fight, and the demon was defeated and killed.
The city lord greatly rewarded these monks, but he did not expect that there was not only one demon who came to Lin Tiancheng, but after that demon was killed, Lin Tiancheng's people suffered crazy revenge from those demons. Every night, dozens of people were killed, and their heads were placed on a large pool of blood. Even the monks and the city lord's family were not spared. Now those who can escape around here have already escaped. Those like him who cannot escape can only hope that the distress message sent by the city lord when he is still alive will be received by the immortal master of Zhengren Sect as soon as possible, and people will be sent to deal with those who do all kinds of evil as soon as possible. Demon clan.
"Let's take a detour." Yang Yuyao said first. This was not something they could interfere with.
"Well, we have to take a detour. Although we don't know why the demons will appear here, avoiding it is the best choice for us." Yi Ziqi agreed. The demons have always been difficult to deal with, even if they are sad and angry at this place. He knew that they were overestimating their abilities if they wanted to help. In addition to causing meaningless sacrifices with no impact, it would be better to help bring the news of the demon invasion out to those powerful people to deal with it.
"I agree!" Ye Qianqian's face turned pale with fright, and she decisively chose to support their decision.
But when they asked the uncle if he wanted to leave with them and they could give him a ride, the uncle chose to refuse. He seemed to feel that if he left the land on which he lived, there would be no way for him to survive.
Yang Yuyao and Yi Ziqi quickly planned a new route with the map. They decided to turn back a certain distance first, reach the first fork in the road and take another road, bypassing Qiyun Mountain and then go east, so that they could Completely bypassing Lin Tiancheng's area and reaching their next destination. Although it will take two days longer than the original route, for the sake of safety, this is the most feasible route.
After deciding on the route, they set off immediately. Yi Ziqi even fed Red Comet a Qi and Blood Pill to give it more physical strength and endurance to accelerate forward. However, before they left the boundary of Lin Tiancheng, several monks uniformly dressed in bright red descended from the sky, blocking their way like several shining targets.
"How many of you are from Lin Tiancheng?" the leading monk said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "We are disciples of Zhengren Sect, and you, as monks, why don't you join us in slaying demons and destroying the rebellious demons? Kill them all?"
"I and my two younger brothers did not come from Lin Tiancheng, but were passing nearby. I heard that there was a demon clan causing trouble, and I was panicked. I am weak, have a vain realm, and have no real ability. I also have two younger brothers who need to be taken care of, so I hurriedly drove away. Escape. I cannot go to the great cause with my Taoist friends. Please forgive me." Yi Ziqi put on a groveling look to prevent them from being dragged into being pawns by these Zhengrenzong monks.
"Oh, these two are your brothers, why don't they look alike? What are your names?" The tall and thin man standing next to the leading monk glanced at Yang Yuyao and Ye Qianqian and asked with disgust.
"My brother Yi*Lian, my name is Yi*tian, my brother..." Yang Yuyao quickly named two famous people named Yi who came to his mind, but when it came to Ye Qianqian, he couldn't think of the third one. A person named Yi. Fortunately, Ye Qianqian stuttered and answered his words at just the right time.
"My...my name is Yi Mi." Ye Qianqian said.
"We are all cowards, let's go." The leader said again, finally making way for them. Yi Ziqi did not hesitate. With a wave of his whip, the red comet seemed to be equipped with a propeller, dragging the carriage and disappearing in a flash.
"Those people from Zhengren Sect are so strange. If they want to recruit people into the gang, why do they have such an attitude?" On the speeding carriage, Ye Qianqian couldn't help but complain about those monks.
"Maybe they actually want to confirm whether we are demons?" Yi Ziqi guessed uncertainly.
"According to what the uncle said, how could the demons there behave like this?" Yang Yuyao had another idea, "I think they still want to abduct a few willing cannon fodder. They exposed their identities from the beginning, maybe some want to The monks who are attached to the sect will go with them regardless of their attitude.”
"Could it be that those Zhengrenzong monks are actually demons in disguise?" Ye Qianqian suddenly raised a more horrifying conjecture,
"If they are demons, it's a good thing. After all, they don't really make things difficult for us." Yi Ziqi said with a complicated expression. At the same time, he couldn't help but think about the name Yi*Lian that Yang Yuyao blurted out, and felt that he would use this name in the future. The name seems to work well as a pseudonym.
"Speaking of which, Ziqi, do you know anything about Zhengren Sect? What is the style of this sect?" Yang Yuyao thought about it and felt that he should confirm the identities and practices of those people from other directions.
"Ahem, well, our sect has almost no contact with the Zhengren Sect. Even if they are neighbors to us." Yi Ziqi's know-it-all function suddenly stopped working, which made Yi Ziqi himself a little embarrassed.
Although they were discussing the few monks who claimed to be Zhengrenzong, the carriage was not moving slowly at all. However, just when they were about to reach the scheduled first fork in the road and prepare to drive to another road, something strange happened. . A thick fog swept toward their carriage, carrying an uncomfortable demonic aura. When the thick fog dissipated and the vision returned to clarity, Yang Yuyao found that he had been taken to a strange place, and neither Yi Ziqi nor Ye Qianqian was missing. Instead, several demons with horns stood around him.
Yang Yuyao was thinking about whether he should run away directly or show weakness first and wait and see the situation before running away. The flamboyant-looking demon suddenly stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around him and take him to his side. Then he spoke to several other demons.
"This is my new little lady, please take good care of me. In three hours, sir, I will have a distinguished guest come to my door. You want him to be able to receive the distinguished guest with me decently, do you hear me?" The flamboyant-looking male demon completely ignored Yang Yuyao's eyes that looked at him like a blind man, and gave orders to several other demons. After receiving the energetic "City Lord, I understand!" from those demons, he nodded with satisfaction, loosened his arms around Yang Yuyao, and left the room.
"Why would the city lord choose this human? Even if he is a male, wouldn't the taller one look better?" As soon as the demon called the city lord left, his minions began to discuss it.
"Who knows, maybe this is what the city lord likes?"
Yang Yuyao was slightly relieved after hearing their words, at least the disguise of his appearance was still there. I just don’t know where Yi Ziqi and Ye Qianqian are now and whether they are safe. Now he has no intention of cooperating with these demons. The demon known as the city lord is not sure whether he is overconfident or something else, but has no restrictions on him other than sending people to watch.
"Your city lord's taste is really unique." Yang Yuyao interrupted unexpectedly, making the minions unable to react for a moment.
"Don't talk nonsense, Cheng... ugh!" Yang Yuyao recalled the iron dagger and destroyed the demon cores of the little demons he killed instantly, and then he gave himself a few sticks With ten invisibility talismans, protective talisman and anti-injury talisman, he quietly opened a crack of suitable width in the door and ducked out.
