Chapter 97 Meeting with Lin Qi

The next morning, when Wu Yi was recuperating and meditating in his room, he heard footsteps outside the door. The person seemed to want to knock on the door, but he hesitated for a moment and finally did not knock, but stood at the door.

If Wu Yi sensed correctly, the person outside the door should be the disciple or strongman beside Lin Qi yesterday. They all have spiritual energy flowing through them, and the other people in the county governor's mansion who have cultivation are after all a minority. Wu Yi has only seen one person like Aunt Qing.

Not knowing what these people came here for, Wu Yi did not open the door and go out immediately, but continued to practice for a while. After a cup of tea, he saw that they were still standing aside. Wu Yi knew that Lin Qi must be looking for him for something. He opened the door and found that it was indeed the disciple beside Lin Qi.

Wu Yi pretended to be at the beginning of his practice and said to them: "Do you have anything to do?"

A disciple who was not much older than Wu Yi said: "Master, please understand. I am here to invite you to the courtyard for a meeting on the orders of the master." Seeing Wu Yi's attitude of just finishing his practice, the disciple couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't knock on the door rashly before. If he disturbed Wu Yi's practice and was scolded by Wu Yi, he would have nowhere to complain.

Walking slightly ahead of Wu Yi, the disciple looked at Wu Yi's overly young face and couldn't help but feel that the same age but different life, he had to serve him obediently and dared not slack off.

But if he knew that Wu Yi was still an ordinary person two years ago, he didn't know what he would feel at this time. After all, fate is determined by heaven, but life is in his own control. Wu Yi's journey was definitely not smooth sailing.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, the reason why it took so long was that Wu Yi deliberately tried to inquire about Lin Qi's character on the way. These disciples felt honored to be able to talk to a foundation-building cultivator like Wu Yi, and they answered almost every question from Wu Yi. Although they could not get any real content from these people, Wu Yi mainly got what he wanted by observing their words and expressions.

Combining these words and expressions, Wu Yi could roughly infer that Lin Qi's usual words and deeds were the same as when he first appeared in the lobby last night. He was serious and a cold Taoist, but he looked like an old naughty boy after Xiaoya made a shy expression last night. Maybe his heart was not as good as his appearance.

When he was about to reach the destination, Wu Yi noticed that a strong man behind him had disappeared. If Wu Yi hadn't observed carefully, he would not have found it at all. The man should have left from the small road. As for what he left for, Wu Yi was also clear in his mind. It was nothing more than reporting the news of Wu Yi's arrival, and then Lin Qi would come out to greet him first, which would show more importance.

Arriving at the place Wu Yi had spied on with the help of audio-visual skills last time, the disciple who led the way said to Wu Yi: "Master, this is the place."

Wu Yi knew it without him saying it, not to mention that Lin Qi was already waiting at the door and could see it from a distance. Wu Yi stepped forward and took the lead in performing a Taoist salute, saying: "Daoyou, why do you have to do this? It's embarrassing for me."

Lin Qi walked down the steps, walked through the lush forests and bamboos, came to Wu Yi, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Daoyou, you are talented and intelligent, no less than the children of the big families in the sect. You will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future. Do you look down on me? Come in quickly."

Wu Yi declined for a while and entered the small courtyard where Lin Qi lived now. After all, it was a small courtyard in the county governor's mansion. It was not like the Taoist temple full of Taoist things, but it had many plants and had its own mountain elegance.

After the two sides separated the host and the guest, they sat on the futon and exchanged a few words. Lin Qi glanced at Wu Yi and said straight to the point: "I wonder how much you know about the art of exorcising ghosts and demons?"

Wu Yi knew that the main topic was coming, and said: "Although I am not very familiar with this, I do have a ghost." Wu Yi released the demon and took it back after a few breaths.

Because the demon was seriously injured before and did not have Wu Yi's abnormal recovery ability, it still looked very weak and weak.

Lin Qi looked normal when he saw the appearance of the demon. Who knows if Wu Yi deliberately showed him his weakest demon to let him relax his vigilance? After being in the world of cultivation for so long, Lin Qi never believed what the other party showed on the outside.

"I wonder if you know the news about the traitor and the evil demon?" After hesitating for a while, Wu Yi still asked the doubts in his heart, hoping to get more information.

Lin Qi exclaimed in surprise, and said in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, you don't know this, then--"

Lin Qi stopped talking, but Wu Yi knew what he wanted to ask. Wu Yi had no intention of hiding it from Lin Qi, and said frankly: "I was looking for the evil place in Nanling a few days ago, but I unexpectedly encountered an extremely difficult ghost. I almost lost my life and fainted on the road. I was rescued by this lady. I am not familiar with the traitors and evil heretics."

Lin Qi did not completely believe Wu Yi's words, and said, "Oh, then he seemed to have thought of something and said: " It just so happens that the evil demons are also entrenched in a place of evil. I wonder if you have achieved your goal last time. If not, you can destroy the cave of the evil demons and occupy the place of evil. " Lin Qi said it lightly, with murderous aura, and did not take the evil demons to heart at all. Wu Yi did not openly question it, and said: "Daoyou, what you said is true, there really is a place of evil." Lin Qi replied heavily: "From my investigation, it should be true." Investigation, Lin Qi has already broken into the nest of that group of people. Wu Yi heard a wave in his heart, but was quickly suppressed by Wu Yi.

"I don't know when you will go to the cave of the evil demon next time. Please let me know when you go."

Lin Qi agreed readily. Perhaps he realized that his words were somewhat contradictory, so he added, "Although the evil demon's cultivation is not high, his methods are strange. Daoist friends should be careful." Finally, he said indignantly: "If not, how could this kind of people be so arrogant until now."

Then the two discussed the specific matters again. Lin Qi also gave Wu Yi a few words about the cultivation methods of the evil demons, and he talked about them very carefully and specifically.

After talking for a while, Wu Yi said goodbye. Lin Qi kept Wu Yi for a few words and let him leave.

On the way back, Wu Yi recalled Lin Qi's description of the cultivation methods of the evil demons, and felt that this group of evil demons should be monks who practiced witchcraft.

The art of witchcraft is also profound and has a long history, but not to mention compared with the inner alchemy, even compared with other major schools, its cultivation system is also complicated and confusing. It retains many ancient and even older cultivation methods, which are incompatible with the methods of the current period.

Although Dayu Kingdom is based on the Yiqi Sect as the state religion, it does not mean that there are no other schools in the country. It is just that they are not popular under the suppression of the Yiqi Sect. They live in remote areas with few people, such as the group of cultivators who practice witchcraft in Lingnan County.

In fact, the witchcraft was spread in the Lingnan Baiyue area long before Dayu Kingdom conquered this place. There are also many high-level cultivators, but they were suppressed during the expansion of the Yiqi Sect. Most of the powerful were killed and their power was greatly reduced.

From Lin Qi, Wu Yi learned that for some reason, the Yiqi Sect did not choose to kill them all in the end, but signed a contract with the witch cultivators, agreeing that as long as they were stable and responsible, they would continue to inherit.

Although the reason is not very clear, Wu Yi guessed that it should be the strategy of the master of Yiqimen to retreat and advance. After taking Lingnan County, it was difficult for the Wudao monks to find disciples to pass on the legacy. They could only choose some Yue people who lived in the mountains and wilds, and pass them down from generation to generation. The power would only be eroded by Yiqimen little by little. This not only avoided the Wudao monks from suffering heavy losses in a desperate battle, but also achieved the purpose.

Regarding the reason for coming here, Lin Qi told the real reason, but it was not what Wu Yi thought in his mind that the county magistrate invited him. The monks pursued the great way. How could the county magistrate, a mortal, move him? It turned out that the inner gate had a mission to eliminate the Wudao monks who were causing trouble here, and the reward was generous.

Lin Qi also gave a mission list, asking Wu Yi to engrave his own breath into it. If the mission was completed at that time, Wu Yi would also be able to get a reward.

Wu Yi thought for a while. After all, there was a place of evil inside, which involved the way of advancement of the demons. He had to explore it. Lin Qi pointed out that he knew where the location was. If Wu Yi did not agree, he might not agree to let Wu Yi know the location in the end.

Wu Yi did not refuse in the end and engraved his aura into the list. Wu Yi was officially dragged into the water. If it failed, the inner gate would hold him accountable.

The most critical issue now is whether this group of witches acted on their own, or whether there was a witch behind them who wanted to test the attitude of the Qi Gate and expand their sphere of influence. If it was the latter, then the water inside was not ordinary.

However, the list did not specify this core issue, and Lin Qi did not know it, which gave Wu Yi a headache.

Wu Yi was thinking about this all the way, but he still hadn't thought of a solution until he returned to his residence. After all, his status was too low. Perhaps the inner door master knew the key points clearly and sent the task list to test him, but Wu Yi was completely in the dark and became a pawn in the confrontation between the two.

He and Lin Qi agreed to go together to destroy the enemy's nest five days later. This time was set by Wu Yi. Wu Yi estimated that he would be able to restore the broken meridians in his body completely at about this time, otherwise it would greatly hinder his battle. At the same time, he had to visualize some of the evil spirits in the stone tablet world and try to keep the Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Array running.

When Wu Yi was about to return to his room, he found several people standing at the door. They were Xiaoya and several maids.

Seeing Wu Yi coming back, Xiaoya came up and said: "Daddy thinks it's not appropriate to arrange you here, so I prepared a new room for you." Xiaoya didn't look like she was about to cry last night at this time. She was generous and had the attitude of a lady from a noble family, as if she had forgotten what happened last night.

Just as Wu Yi was about to say no, he saw Xiaoya puffing up her cheeks and looking straight at him, as if she was saying that if he dared to refuse, she would pounce on him and bite him. Wu Yi swallowed his words and said lightly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, girl."

Xiaoya smiled and took Wu Yi to the new room prepared for Wu Yi. In fact, it can't be called a room, because it has become a small courtyard. It may not be as quiet as Lin Qi's residence, but it is much better than the place where Wu Yi lived before.

After taking Wu Yi to the place, Xiaoya was ready to leave. Looking at Xiaoya's back, Wu Yi didn't know why, and said, "Is your mother bedridden because of the evil magic of the evil demons?"

Hearing this, Xiaoya turned around and said in disbelief: "What? Do you have a way?"

Wu Yi looked at her uncertain eyes, smiled brightly, and said: "If you don't try, how do you know if there is a way?"

Xiaoya stopped the tears that were about to fall, smiled, and forgot to say for a while.

Wu Yi looked at her happy face and felt that she was the most real at this moment, a weak woman who had unloaded all the burdens. She had too much on her tender shoulders.

Wu Yi did this not to win the heart of the beauty, but out of his own heart. Xiaoya saved his life, and he wanted to repay her. However, when he engraved his aura on the task list, it was no longer a pure repayment, and he needed to find another way. Xiaoya's mother happened to be bedridden, which was a great opportunity.
