Chapter 99 Yunxia Ridge
When Wu Yi came to the small courtyard where Lin Qi was, Lin Qi and the disciples around him gathered outside the small courtyard. It seemed that they were all ready, but they didn't know how long they had been waiting outside.
"Senior brother, it's Wu Yi who came late." Wu Yiyu said apologetically.
Lin Qi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, we haven't waited long," and then changed the subject and asked: "Junior brother should be ready."
Wu Yi nodded and asked, "How is Senior Brother?"
Lin Qi nodded and said, "In that case, let's set off."
The group of people left the yard, but when they walked through the gate of the county governor's mansion, they found that local bureaucrats, rich gentry, and businessmen, including the county governor, were all waiting there. They were clearly distinguished due to their different identities, but they all came to see off Wu Yi and others. of.
Seeing these many people, Wu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly and set up such a large formation. He was afraid that the witch cultivators didn't know that Wu Yi and others were going to annihilate them. Wouldn't their identities be exposed and the chance of surprise be lost, making it even more difficult? succeed.
The county guard took a few steps forward, bowed and said to Wu Yi and Lin Qi: "I wish the two masters a safe trip and destroy the evil spirits." The people behind the county guard also said the same thing, and their voices shook the sky.
Lin Qi looked at the people in front of him and winked at the disciples behind him. The disciples had learned early and knew how to behave. They came to the front and took out some talismans from their sleeves and distributed them to everyone. Those who came had a share.
Wu Yi took a look and saw that they were all ordinary talismans. Judging from the runes engraved on them, they should be used to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits.
Although these talismans are ordinary, at least Wu Yi disdains talismans of this level now, they are of higher quality than the talismans Wu Yi used when he first entered Dahuai Town, and can block the invasion of ordinary ghosts.
Only now did Wu Yi know the reason why these people came to block the door. The so-called farewell was just a pretext. The important thing was to get the immortal items from the master to guard the house, otherwise the evil heretics would invade every door when the master left. Not at the mercy of others.
I'm afraid Lin Qi deliberately let the public know when he left. After all, the task list also stated the requirement to stabilize the people in the area. If the people suffer by then, even if Wu Yi and Lin Qi destroy the shaman cultivator's lair, they may not be able to succeed. offset each other.
After the distribution was completed, Lin Qi bowed to the county guard, stroked his beard and said: "Place this thing behind the plaque on the door. Normal evildoers cannot touch it, so you will be safe."
After getting the talisman, he knew that Wu Yi and his party were going to exterminate the evil heretics. The county guard could not delay, so he said a blessing and took the lead to step aside. Others also stepped back, thus opening up a way for Wu Yi. The group of people left the Sheriff's Mansion.
All the people who got the talisman had happy faces, but there was a frail body among the crowd, looking at Wu Yi's retreating back through the gap, with a worried look on his face, and silently praying for him in his heart.
"Miss, let's go." Aunt Qing followed Xiaoya's gaze and knew that Xiaoya was looking at Wu Yi. She didn't urge her until Wu Yi disappeared from sight, then she said to Xiaoya.
She naturally knew Xiaoya's thoughts, but with Wu Yi's talent, it was impossible for them, but it was difficult to say it out.
"Aunt Qing, can I practice?" Xiaoya looked at the empty space, feeling lost for a long time, and then suddenly asked.
"Practice needs to start from a young age. When you get older, the meridians are consolidated, and it is difficult to achieve anything even in practice." Aunt Qing did not answer directly, but hinted to Xiaoya from the side not to think about this again.
Xiaoya heard this and responded lightly, "Really? Oh." After saying that, she turned around and left the place. At this time, the others had already dispersed. Xiaoya looked extremely lonely alone, but Xiaoya's steps were still as if they had been measured. In general, the body is straight and upright, showing excellent upbringing, and the momentum becomes stronger every time he takes a step, like a snowy plum blossomed by Ling Han alone, with its own iron-clad demeanor.
The Xiaoya that Wu Yi was familiar with came back again.
On the other side, Wu Yi and his party, who left the Sheriff's Mansion, hired a convoy and left Wuwei City on carriages and horses.
In the carriage, Wu Yi deployed his spiritual energy, blocking the transmission of sound, and said to Lin Qi: "Senior brother, why do you want the county governor to arrange for so many people to see off? Wouldn't it be troublesome if the evil heretics knew about it."
Lin Qi had noticed Wu Yi's doubts before and had already prepared a plan in his mind, saying, "I did it on purpose."
"Brother, I already knew that there were spies among those people?" Wu Yi asked in shock. What was shocking was not that Lin Qi knew that there were spies among them, but that he didn't know about the arrangement made by Lin Qi. Lin Qi clearly didn't trust him.
Lin Qi had already guessed that Wu Yi would have this reaction and said: "Junior brother, don't be anxious." Lin Qiyun used his spiritual energy to evolve a picture in the air. It was like a mountain forest with dense red dots on it. Wu Yi looked at it The pattern remained silent, waiting for what was to come.
"Junior brother, look, this red dot is the stronghold of evil heretics. It is so scattered that it is difficult to eliminate it in one fell swoop. But if we use a strategy to lure them to gather in one place, it can be done." Lin Qi first suppressed and then raised his voice, and his words were very contagious. .
Using himself as bait, Wu Yi secretly laughed. The question is who will be the one to get involved. Without the people who get involved, those witch cultivators would be so stupid to jump into the trap.
Lin Qi obviously understood this truth, and immediately expressed his solution, "I asked for a pill from the inner sect, which can temporarily upgrade a Qi Refining monk's cultivation level to the first level of foundation building."
That was all. Wu Yi knew that the person who entered the game was obviously the one who took the pill. But whether he was a disciple or a strong man, Wu Yi didn't care. Anyway, just don't throw him in.
Seeing that Wu Yi had no objection to this arrangement, Lin Qi smiled knowingly. In fact, as long as he was a cultivator, he would understand a truth, that is, it is better to die than to die. If it is not necessary, how could he be willing to enter the game and take risks.
When he was about to face the enemy, Lin Qi no longer hid it, otherwise Wu Yi might have to go against him or even become enemies. Lin Qi continued: "As far as I know, the evil demons know that we are coming, and recently there has been another priest equivalent to a foundation-building cultivator."
Another one came, Wu Yi's eyes flickered. Lin Qi had said before that there were originally three witches equivalent to foundation-building cultivators, two of whom were warriors, equivalent to strength cultivators, and one priest, equivalent to a law cultivator. Now there is another one, which is equivalent to four foundation-building cultivators.
Let alone whether the four cultivators can be captured in one battle, even if they can be defeated, it is extremely difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop. Will the four foundation-building cultivators come out because of Lin Qi's strategy of luring the snake out of the cave? Obviously, it is unlikely.
"I brought down a set of formation flags from the mountain gate, and I will set up a large formation with my disciples at that time." Lin Qi said.
Lin Qi did not mention Wu Yi, obviously letting Wu Yi make his own arrangements, but Wu Yi still had a confusion and asked: "Brother, how can you be sure that the evil demons will enter your formation?"
"The mountain man has his own ingenious plan." Lin Qi kept it a secret, and Wu Yi did not continue to ask.
"Then how about you, my junior brother, be responsible for clearing out the evil demons that have not entered the formation?" Lin Qi gave Wu Yi such an arrangement, which seemed simple, because in the plan described by Lin Qi, most of the evil demons would enter the formation, so there would not be too many witch cultivators scattered outside.
But the question is whether these witch cultivators will follow Lin Qi's plan? Otherwise, Wu Yi would face siege, but since it was a cooperation between two people, Wu Yi could not always think about gaining benefits, but also had to pay a price, so he nodded and agreed.
After arranging the general matters, the carriage returned to its original calm. Wu Yi and Lin Qi did not speak, closed their eyes and rested, waiting to arrive at the destination.
Wuwei City is a place where three rivers meet. There are three mountains along the river valley. Except for the south, which has no high mountains because it is the South China Sea, the east, west and north are surrounded by mountains. These three mountains can be said to be the extension of Nanling in Lingnan County, but there are great differences because of the north-south direction.
The hiding places of the witches given by Lin Qi are in the mountains in the north, which is also the most majestic mountain among the three mountains, called Yunxialing.
After half a day, the carriage arrived at the foot of Yunxialing, but there was no road for the carriage to pass in front. Lin Qi's disciples paid the carriage master money and the carriage master left.
All the Taoist temples in the outer gate of Yiqimen are built in rugged and steep places. Wu Yi and others are not afraid of the steep mountains. The spiritual energy flows around their bodies. They are as light as swallows and walk on the mountains as if on flat ground. After all, there are witches here, Lin Qi dare not fly with his aura, otherwise he will be a living target, which is too dangerous, so everyone walks.
Wu Yi and his party are unscrupulous while walking, releasing their aura, as if they are afraid that the witches don’t know that Wu Yi and others have arrived.
Walking through a dense bush, Wu Yi saw the bushes that were still shaking, and couldn’t help sighing in his heart. These witches’ ability to hide is too low. They are all people who grew up in the mountains. Even if he doesn’t use spiritual consciousness to explore, Wu Yi also knows that someone was lurking here, and it hasn’t been long since he left. If Wu Yi wants to catch him, he shouldn’t miss it.
Wu Yi, who can easily control every bit of his energy, is naturally a master of hiding, but others may not be able to control every bit of their energy freely, so it is inevitable to leave traces.
Wu Yi and Lin Qi walked in front, talking about mountains and rivers, looking relaxed and at ease, but only they themselves knew how much spiritual consciousness they had released. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried. Only by being careful can you make the boat last for a thousand years.
Walking to a mountain basin, Lin Qi stopped and said to Wu Yi: "I plan to camp here and set up a formation. The evil demons will come to rob the camp at night. At that time, my junior brother can either support it or find the evil demons to kill them."
Wu Yi glanced at the small basin and found that there was some new soil piled around. He knew that Lin Qi might have made some arrangements in advance, but why did he pull Wu Yi down? Wouldn't it be better for one person to get the reward alone?
"In that case, my junior brother will go and check if there are any evil demons lurking around." After Wu Yi finished speaking, his body dissipated bit by bit. Lin Qi watched Wu Yi's body disappear bit by bit. Although he looked calm, his heart was like a mixture of black ice and fire. No matter how he checked, he didn't find out how Wu Yi disappeared.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and arrange it." Not only Lin Qi, but the other disciples were also very surprised that a living person disappeared in front of them. They were dumbfounded, like stupid geese. Seeing this, Lin Qi could not help but scold.
After seeing the disciple Li Shi go down to work under his scolding, Lin Qi looked at the place where Wu Yi disappeared and pondered. He knew that Wu Yi was expressing his dissatisfaction in this way.
Although Wu Yi was not a particularly important character in Lin Qi's mind, if something unexpected happened, and a few witches did not enter the formation to build their foundation, then there would be no help from outside, and I am afraid that the formations set up would be broken.
How to ease the relationship with Wu Yi? Lin Qi thought in his heart, not knowing whether he should tell Wu Yi the news.
