Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Looking at the hexagram, Yuan Tiangang fell into a long state of shock.

In the clear and empty spiritual realm, the sound of the golden blade breaking through the wind from afar became clearer, as if it was right next to the ear.

That was Lady Guichuan dancing with a sword.

If this is destiny's arrangement...

As soon as he thought of this, he panicked. This Tang Dynasty tech geek who didn't like to socialize with people was shocked by his own thoughts. He even thought it was too turbid to have a few more maids sweeping the floor in Xuanji Pavilion, so how could he imagine what it would be like to be with a woman day and night?

Although it was true that the other party had moved to Xuanji Pavilion, and he was still very quiet, it was not annoying to be with him day and night.

Wait, why are you already thinking about "being together day and night"?

This is ridiculous, so ridiculous! Even though my divination is never wrong, I must have made a mistake this time!

Yuan Tiangang was about to start another lesson subconsciously, but when his eyes inadvertently swept outside the pavilion, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin spider silk hanging from the eaves, and a tiny spider was looking at him with its eight eyes wide open.

Eyes wide open.

Yuan Tiangang suddenly calmed down and raised his voice slightly: "Fengji, prepare tea, a distinguished guest is coming."

In the rustling wind, Wen Jiao pressed the tip of her tongue against the Tianchi acupoint on the upper palate, her eyes half-closed to clear her distracting thoughts, and faced the red sun in the east and the magnificent clouds in the sky. She slowly exhaled the turbid air in her body, then took a deep breath, allowing the Qi to flow through her Dantian.

This is the internal breathing technique that Li Chunfeng wrote for her. It can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to nourish one's own vitality. Although it is not a formal mysterious technique, if one practices it with concentration, it can also lead people to the path of Qi training.

During the days of practicing breathing techniques, Wen Jiao felt that some of the stubborn orifices in her body were loosening up. She had been unable to absorb the spiritual energy from the Ruyi Pearl, but now she could absorb it into her body bit by bit. She didn't know if it was because the impurities in her body were further eliminated after practicing in an orderly manner. Whenever this happened, she would feel unusually refreshed, and even her five senses were several times more acute than usual.

For example, at this moment, she could hear not only the sound of bamboo leaves fluttering and wind blowing through the treetops, but also the rumbling of wheels rolling over bricks, the neighing of horses, the whispers of women and girls, and the crisp laughter of young children. She couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Before she decided to follow Fengji's path, she had done a lot of research on Yuan Tiangang and knew that he was the leader of the Tang Dynasty Shuzi School, but he lived in seclusion and did not like to socialize with others. Because of his supernatural divination skills, he could predict everything in heaven and earth. If people wanted to buy his divination, they had to pay a thousand taels of silver. So he was very rich, but he stayed at home like a monk in seclusion, and only had some pursuits in food.

And after living together for a few days, she became even more convinced that Yuan Tiangang would definitely be a super tech geek in modern times. As long as he was provided with sufficient protection, he could stay at home for his entire life.

It was rare for such a tech geek to have such a buzz at home, which inevitably aroused Wen Jiao's curiosity. She wiped her sweat and sheathed her sword: "Huo Ling'er, go ask Feng Ji who is coming and why there is such a big commotion?"

Huo Linger obeyed the order. Because two legs could not outrun four legs, she was too lazy to use her human form and instead transformed into a red lion. She stepped out of the bamboo forest in two or three steps and rushed to the front hall.

Fengji was transforming into five people, directing the carriage to park, making tea, serving fruit, burning incense, and leaving one person behind Yuan Tiangang to wait, busy as hell. Huo Linger rushed over, turned back into human form and waved: "Fengji, Fengji!"

Fengji was busy and had no time to pay attention to her.

Fengji happened to be passing by the corridor in front of him while serving tea. Huo Linger saw the opportunity and rushed over. With her red sleeves spread, she pulled Fengji out with the tea. She was three points taller than Fengji and had great strength. Fengji was pulled sideways by her without any control.

"Be gentle, be gentle, the tea is spilled, the tea is spilled!" Feng Ji screamed while protecting the teacup that was tilted all over the place.

Huo Linger smiled innocently: "No, I know my limits."

"You call this being sensible?" Feng Ji said angrily, "I'm busy entertaining guests here. If you have anything to say, wait until they leave."

"It's not me who has the problem, it's my wife who has the problem." Huo Linger corrected.

"If your wife has anything to say, please wait until the guests leave." Feng Ji quickly corrected.

Huo Linger immediately said, "I'm not leaving. Let me ask you, who is the guest in there? The noise was so loud that even my wife heard it."

Feng Ji was a little scared when he saw her attitude of "Don't even think about leaving if you don't explain clearly". In terms of deep cultivation, high magic skills, and exquisite martial arts, ten Huo Ling'er were not enough to defeat him, a fox. But maybe there is always something that can defeat something else. As a fox with cunning and agility as his strengths, he always felt a little insecure when he saw this stupid lion.

"What's the matter with your wife? Tell me." He accepted his fate.

After a while, Wen Jiao saw Huo Ling'er coming back from asking around. "I caught Feng Ji and asked him. It was Duke Ying who came with his family. He said he was ordered by the emperor to take up his post in Yuzhou. He heard of Yuan Ling's reputation, so he brought his family to ask Yuan Ling to read his fortune. Alas, the copper boxes containing silver alone took up a large cart. I don't know how many people he wanted to read their fortunes for."

Considering that Yuan Tiangang's fortune-telling fee was extremely high, even a wealthy family like the Yin family would not dare to read the fortunes of each family member, and would not waste money like this. Wen Jiao couldn't help but exclaim: "What a generous gesture!"

Su Xin handed her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and agreed with what she said: "If it's his family, then it's no wonder. Duke Ying's family has been rich merchants for generations. He was also in the timber business when he was young. I heard that he was already very rich in the previous dynasty, and he followed the Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty to start a rebellion and donated a lot of military expenses. For Duke Ying, let alone a few thousand taels of silver for divination, he wouldn't frown even if he had to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver at once."

He was a typical Lu Dongbin-like figure who made the right bet in troubled times and rose from a merchant to a nobleman in one fell swoop. Wen Jiao sighed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Wait, starting a rebellion with Li Yuan? Still doing timber business? Asking Yuan Tiangang to read his fortune? This combination of keywords sounds a little familiar!

Wen Jiao was startled: "Is this Duke Ying's surname Wu?"

Huo Ling'er said: "His surname is Wu, and his full name seems to be Wu Shigui?"

Wen Jiao was immediately overjoyed and grabbed Huo Ling'er and said, "Hurry, let's see what Yuan Ling thinks. If we go any slower, it will be too late if he leaves!"

She said that the deeds of Ying Guogong seemed so familiar. Although Wu Shigui himself was not very impressive in the early Tang Dynasty, when many talented people emerged, he had a remarkable daughter! Although this strong woman who later caused the change of ownership of the Li Tang artifact was likely to be changing her teeth this year.

"Faster!" she urged.

If you miss the childhood of Wu Zetian, the only empress in Chinese history, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
