Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

Half a day later.

Above Conch Village, a giant sword as wide as a door panel slowly slowed down.

It was already dark, and there was no one else in the village except a naughty stray dog.

When the wild dog saw the crowd, it did not flee in panic. Instead, it bared its fangs and made a whining sound. After a while, it barked wildly: "Woof woof...Woof."

When the dog heard the barking, his face was filled with excitement. Before the flying sword even stopped, he jumped down and ran straight towards the wild dog.

When the wild dog saw this, its hair stood on end, it kicked up its hind legs and rushed forward to bite.

But the next moment, he was pinned to the ground by a claw, letting out a fatal howl.

"Woof...woof...woof"

"Wang!"

“Woof…Woof…Woof…Woof…Woof…Woof…”

"Wang! Wang!"

After some communication, the wild dog became very well-behaved and followed the others like a servant, arriving in front of the crowd.

"Wow! You're already recruiting new followers as soon as we get to the ground. That's great!" Qian Xiaoyi joked.

"Woof...Woof...Woof" the dog barked three times, as if answering "No way."

On the other side, Liu Boer was saying goodbye to Shen and Zhao. He was full of respect and said with a fist: "Two immortal masters, I will just send you here. I dare not delay your time any longer."

"Thank you both for the past month." Shen Chenqing said.

Zhao Rui took out a cloth bag the size of a watermelon and said, "These are your rewards. The money for changing boats is also in here."

Liu Boer smiled, bowed hurriedly to take it, hung the bag around his waist, and did not open it in front of others.

After a few more polite words, Zhao Rui summoned his flying sword and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, Qing'er, let's go!"

Shen and Qian jumped onto the flying sword, but the dog just sat there panting, not moving at all.

"Woof...Woof...Woof..." the dog barked.

Zhao Rui frowned and asked, "You don't want to leave? You want to stay here?"

"Woof..." The dog nodded, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Zhao Rui was full of doubts and was about to confirm again, but he saw the dog bark twice, then turn around and rush into the village.

In the twilight, smoke from cooking was curling up. When the dog's figure disappeared, everyone realized that the last two sounds were probably saying goodbye to everyone.

He was originally just a local dog. Fate played a joke on him and he was adopted by a monk. But perhaps what he really liked was just playing with a few dogs of the same kind in the fields.

Seeing that Zhao Rui had no intention of stopping him, Qian Xiaoyi hurriedly said, "This dog's bloodline is a bit strange, why don't we stay here?"

Zhao Rui shook his head and said, "Let him be. If he hadn't shown up, we might still be trapped in there."

As he spoke, he took out another brocade bag and handed it to Liu Boer, saying, "This dog is old and probably won't live for many more years. Take these things and buy four Yuan-boosting pills for him every month."

"Bu Yuan Dan... isn't that something that cultivators take?" Liu Bo'er's heart skipped a beat. He reached out to take the brocade bag and asked, "Master, Bu Yuan Dan is not cheap. Will this..."

Zhao Rui thought Liu Bo was worried about not having enough money, so he explained, "Don't worry, the things in this brocade bag are enough to see him to the end of his life. If he really lives a long life, you only need to make sure he has enough food and clothing."

"Don't worry, Immortal Master. I will follow your instructions and prepare enough for him every month." Liu Boer said.

Zhao Rui smiled mysteriously and said, "I feel very relieved, but if you give more, it can't be counted on my account."

"Could it be that a high-level spell can even monitor this?" Liu Bo'er's heart was beating fast, and he kept saying, "Hey...hey, it's impossible to give more, it's impossible to give more."

He nodded and bowed, and as he was speaking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind. When he looked up again, Zhao Rui and his companions were no longer there.

In the silent night, only the chirping of insects could be heard. Liu Boer and Heizi looked into each other's eyes and huddled together.

Liuboer took out a cloth bag the size of a watermelon and quickly untied the rope.

As soon as the bag was opened a little, dazzling golden light emerged from it, shining on the faces of the two people, as if they were coated with a layer of gold powder.

"Golden pearls! A bag of gold..." Heizi exclaimed in surprise.

"Cough... cough..." There was no one at the entrance of the village, but Liuboer coughed loudly, interrupting Heizi.

"Bah, look at my mouth!" Heizi slapped himself.

Liu Boer looked around to make sure there was no one around, stuffed two cloth bags into his chest, and said, "Let's go home and talk about it."

"Yes, let's go home first, Boss, I want to build a house..."

"Rebuild, I also want to rebuild my house..."

"Boss, this is such a big deal, don't you think... hehe."

"Oh! You are so brave! If you can deal with your wife, you can even marry that girl."

“Hehe…hehe…”

The two walked farther and farther away, and the village entrance returned to peace again.

Soon, it was completely dark. Lights were lit one after another in the Conch Village, but they were completely unable to resist the devouring darkness.

It would take a big city where monks gather together and various miraculous spells to reverse the darkness.

Jinzhu Town, the largest town within a thousand miles, is still brightly lit even on a moonless night, so that people inside cannot feel the change of day and night at all.

The only exceptions were the soldiers guarding the city, who stood at the intersection of light and darkness, examining everything.

"Brother Wang, someone is coming." said a soldier at the city gate.

Another soldier immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a streak of light coming rapidly from the horizon. He immediately became alert and said, "Hey, a foundation-building cultivator. You will definitely be rewarded soon."

According to the laws of the State of Jin, the city gates were not open at night, and if one wanted to enter the city, one had to use some unconventional means.

Soon, a flying sword as wide as a door panel stopped at the city gate, and three people jumped off from it.

The first person in the group had white hair and a young face, but the fine lines at the corners of his eyes could not be hidden. Who else could it be but Qian Xiaoyi.

He took out three tokens and said, "My two generals, we are all official monks, and we have the tokens as proof."

"Even with the token, it won't work. According to the rules of Jin, the city gates are not open at night."

"Well..., we went out to collect pearls and came back a little late. Can you please be flexible?" As he spoke, Qian Xiaoyi hurriedly handed over a spirit stone.

When the monk surnamed Wang saw the spirit stone, a smile immediately appeared on his originally serious face. He put the spirit stone into his sleeve and said, "Are you... the uncle of the nephew of the third wife of the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Anyway, no matter what, the people in the City Lord's Mansion are definitely not bad people, so I will make an exception and let you in."

Qian Xiaoyi was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to figure out what kind of relationship this was.

When he realized it was just an excuse, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I have admired the city lord since I was a child, so I embarked on the path of cultivation."

The two sides interacted with each other, and under the effect of the spirit stone, it was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land, they were so familiar with each other.

Soon, the monk named Wang opened a gap in the formation and allowed the three people to enter the city.

The lights were on, and although there was only a city gate between them, the scenery was completely different. After the three people entered the city, they all felt refreshed.

Following the flow of people, the three of them blended into the bustling streets, feeling the long-lost bustle.

But before long, the prosperity gradually faded and the streets became deserted.

"Why does this look like the road to the Mortal Cave?" Qian Xiaoyi frowned, caught up with Zhao Rui in front of him, and asked, "Daoyou Zhao, where are we going?"

Zhao Rui turned around and looked at the two of them, saying, "Of course we should find an inn. Where else can we go?"

"Master Zhao, you are not planning to go to the Mortal Cave again? Haven't we made a fortune?" Shen Chenqing asked tentatively.

"I forgot to discuss this with you two. I just think this trip is very strange, so we should be more careful with our money." Zhao Rui said.

Qian Xiaoyi's expression suddenly changed. Thinking of the unusualness of this journey, he immediately said, "You are right, Daoist friend. As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown off. We have a shallow foundation here, so we should be careful."

Shen Chenqing was full of surprise, not knowing why Qian Xiaoyi suddenly changed his tone, but her cultivation level was the lowest now, so it was difficult for her to say anything.

The three of them walked in the direction of the Mortal Cave for a while and soon arrived at the previous inn.

At the entrance of the inn, the waiter who came to greet the guests was the same waiter from last time. He was impressed by the guest who took out the big ingot, so he hurried forward and asked, "Three of you, would you like to have the three upper rooms?"

At this point, Qian Xiaoyi became high-profile, took out ten gold coins, and said, "I didn't thank you last time, these are a reward for you."

More than a month later, Fangjin Waiter didn't expect that his enthusiastic act that day would be rewarded with such a reward. He became even more enthusiastic and greeted the three people to go to the counter to handle the procedures.

Everything was ready, so he sent the three people upstairs directly. However, before they had gone far, they were stopped by another waiter wearing a gray hat.

The waiter at the Gray Hat Shop smiled and said, "My three distinguished guests, I am most familiar with the second floor. I will take you upstairs!"

The waiter with the square scarf had not seen the waiter with the gray hat smiling since a month ago. Seeing that he was happy, he said, "Three of you, he is a veteran in our store. How about letting him take you upstairs later?"

"We do know the place, so there's no need to lead us. Just go and get busy!" Zhao Rui led Shen Qian and the other two and waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to lead the way.

At the stairs, the waiter in the gray hat looked at the three people's backs with a very lonely expression, and the smile he had before was like a flash in the pan.
