Chapter 1096: Changes in Yi Qi (Part 1)

Duqiong County, an obscure county town on the western border of the Daji Dynasty, does not pay taxes, but pays tribute every year in the form of white juice from a unique tree.

The city is mainly inhabited by the Baima tribe, a small tribe in the west, and together with other large and small tribes, is collectively called the Southwest Yi.

The Baima tribe does not mean that they worship white horses as a sacred object. In fact, this tribe has nothing to do with white horses. The word Baima is a transliteration, and the literati who first came here introduced it in this way, and it has been passed down to this day.

Its specific meaning is purity, that is, a pure tribe that regards white as purity and likes all white items.

Two or three hundred miles west of Duqiong County is the coast. Despite this, due to the terrain, this place is extremely short of salt, so salt is regarded as a sacred object in their lives.

Accustomed to the storms of the sea, Wu Yi and Taotie came to this small mountain county to rest temporarily. It happened that this period of time was the holy festival of the Baima tribe. The so-called holy festival is not a specific day, but a snowy day.

In the myth of their ethnic origin, their ancestors were born on a day of heavy snowfall. For them, white snow not only means purity, but also means rebirth and origin.

This place is surrounded by mountains, and the cold air from the north rarely blows. Sometimes, it may not come once a year. White snow is actually an extremely rare thing. Every day when it snows is a holy day.

It was the holy day, and in the small county of Dujing County, there were lights and decorations, and various celebration ceremonies were held. Everyone was joyful.

This is a peaceful and peaceful small county. In terms of the number of people, it may not even be comparable to some large villages in the central region.

Wu Yi, who was surrounded by the aura of robbery, came here and could hardly sense the conflicts between people.

Before entering the city, a white light flashed and turned into dots of white light. A graceful and elegant woman appeared in front of Wu Yi. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and she also had the momentum of a superior. This woman was obviously a local god. She came forward to stop Wu Yi, her eyes full of vigilance.

This is the ancestor worshipped by the Baima clan. Yes, the ancestor they worship is a woman. As for the one who appeared in front of Wu Yi, judging from her roots, she is an acquired deity, formed by the incense and faith of all people.

When the Holy Festival comes, everyone worships the ancestor, and the incense from all directions finally gathers on this woman.

"Where are the two guests from?" Although the woman is the local guardian deity, in terms of strength, she barely reaches the middle-level god, which is equivalent to the level of Jindan. It should be that her consciousness was born not long ago, otherwise, with her status, it would not be so.

The woman knew that Wu Yi and Taotie came with bad intentions, but because of her own low strength, she did not dare to offend easily. Such a statement was really a bit humble.

Taotie looked at her with contempt, disdained to talk to her, and went directly into Dujing County. The woman's long sleeves were like a piece of silk, trying to stop Taotie, but was directly shattered by Taotie's surging blood.

This was the result of Taotie's restraining his magic power. Otherwise, as Taotie was a demon fairy, the woman would not even have a chance to attack.

"We have no ill intentions, we just come here to rest!" Wu Yi explained lightly, followed Taotie's footsteps, and entered Dujian County together.

The arrival of Wu Yi and Taotie brought a little sense of oppression to the peaceful Dujian County, but ordinary people could not notice it, just thought it was just a dark cloud passing by, out of sight, out of mind, that's all, the joyful festival continued.

The woman was helpless, the robbers were too powerful, she could not deal with them at all, and she had no choice. There was no perfect Shinto system here, otherwise, she could ask her superiors for help and ask them to come forward to expel the robbers.

However, in order to prevent the people under his rule from suffering from the disaster, the guardian god used his divine power to expel the flying snow in advance, and the lively festival ended early, which greatly disappointed the Baima tribe.

Wu Yi saw that the snow outside had stopped, and he knew it was the work of the gods, so he didn't care. He came to Dujian County not just to rest, but because when he came here, the Qi in his body moved strangely, so he proposed to rest here.

Taotie knew that Wu Yi couldn't stay here for this reason, but his current identity, to put it bluntly, was just Wu Yi's guard, so why bother so much, anyway, after absorbing the Qi from all directions, he didn't feel any danger.

After staying here for a few days, the Qi in his body stopped changing and went dormant again, which made Wu Yi very upset, and he couldn't figure out the reason at all.

After waiting for a few days, there was still no change. Wu Yi left Dujian County, of course not really leaving, but resting on a mountain not far from Dujian County.

Qi is a peaceful Qi, which maintains the stability and balance of heaven and earth. Rather than Qi, it is better to say that it is an order and an influence.

In other places, at the time of social change, contradictions were numerous, and the Yi Qi was minimal, but the Jie Qi was prevalent. Dujing County was one of the few places Wu Yi found where the Yi Qi was higher than the Jie Qi, and the difference was quite large. It could be called a heaven-sent place, but it was not easy.

Was it his arrival that broke the stability and harmony of the local area? Although he was unwilling to admit it, this was probably the root cause of the Yi Qi's silence.

So Wu Yi thought of pretending to leave to see if there would be any changes.

Wu Yi was hiding it on purpose, and the woman's cultivation level naturally could not detect it. She thought that Wu Yi, the plague god, had really left, and she was very happy in her heart, so she used her divine power again to bring heavy snow, and Dujing County returned to its previous lively scene, and everyone was smiling.

The changes in the Yi Qi afterwards confirmed Wu Yi's own thoughts, and it was really himself who brought the Jie Qi to this place.

The Yi Qi once again rose and jumped in the body, forming a sharp contrast with the Jie Qi.

When Black Lotus was promoted before, the Yi Qi that appeared as a heavenly tribulation had never left. In order to check and balance the growing Black Lotus, Wu Yi did not take the initiative to influence it. The key was that Wu Yi did not know how to contact the Yi Qi.

It can be said that because of the Yi Qi, Black Lotus's heavenly tribulation was not completely overcome.

In addition, Wu Yi had a repulsive emotion towards Yi Qi in his heart before, thinking that if he studied Yi Qi in depth, he would become comfortable and not think about making progress.

But he had seen a lot along the way, and he gradually thought about it. The so-called one yin and one yang, one movement and one stillness, one tension and one relaxation, if he was obsessed with improving his cultivation and not thinking about consolidation, it would not be a solution.

Therefore, Wu Yi wanted to understand Yi Qi in depth, but when Wu Yi really wanted to understand Yi Qi, the other party was like a sleeping old man, and didn't care about Wu Yi's communication at all.

So, after finally finding a place that could trigger Yi Qi's abnormal movement, how could Wu Yi let it go easily?

But after realizing that he was the problem, Wu Yi would not be foolish enough to bother the other party this time.
