The Taoist priest next to Ma Pijin is named Wang Daoyi and comes from Gushe Mountain.
Because I heard that Zhong Nanshan was the place where Yin Zhenren attained enlightenment, I took my disciples to seek immortality and ask questions. I happened to pass by Xuanyang City and heard that the government was recruiting capable people to help kill demons, so I went to learn about the situation. .
[Yin Xi, the person who greeted Lao Tzu at Zhong Nanshan. After Yin Zhenren attained Taoism and became an immortal, Laojun gave him a jade book with gold inscriptions, and named him Mr. Wenshi. He was certified as the Supreme Zhenren, Yuqing Prime Minister, and one of the four prime ministers of Tianfu. 】
After showing a few Taoist techniques in front of Ma Pijin, this situation emerged.
Taoist Master Ma Pijin, the Taoist priest in front of him, and the Taoist priest behind him all showed great respect to Wang Daoyi and other experts.
Wang Daoyi heard that Ma Pijin was worried about their strength, so he said cheerfully: "Hahahahaha! Master Ma, there is no need to worry. The seven disciples of Pindao are all already in the Dan Condensation realm and belong to the Yin Qi category. In the middle stage of entering the body, the exercises are also authentic from the Taoist sect.
There are not to mention three monsters that have just transformed and learned the skills. Even if they are doubled or tripled, it will be easy for a poor Taoist disciple to deal with them.
What's more, isn't this because I have a poor foundation? "
With that said, Wang Daoyi motioned to one of his disciples to show off his skills again.
As soon as this disciple made a seal, a ball of flame condensed in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the disciple threw the flame to the ground not far away!
The ground was immediately burnt to black.
Ma Pijin was overjoyed when he saw this.
At the same time, I also have more confidence in Wang Daoyi and his team.
However, he quickly said worriedly: "Taoist Priest, if we go there this time and find the monsters to no avail, what if the monsters reappear after the Taoist Priest leaves, wouldn't Xuanyang City become a purgatory on earth?"
Wang Daoyi touched his long beard and said with a smile: "Master Ma, don't worry. Although the purpose of Pindao and others' trip is Zhong Nanshan, it is also for experience. Staying in Xuanyang City for a year and a half is not a problem. If A year and a half later, those little transformed demons still haven’t shown up, and they are probably either dead or have already moved away.”
Even the last worries were gone. Ma Pijin now had no worries at all: "That's so good! That's so good! You don't have to worry about food, drink, housing and transportation. I will definitely make arrangements for you! Without further ado, I will I will take you to Lijiacun to have a look."
…
at the same time.
The entrance of Lijia Village.
A group of government servants, about twenty or thirty people, are now gathered at the entrance of Lijiacun.
Although they did not touch the villagers, their tone was very rude, and they shouted at the village chief: "My lord, you have an order to hand over your tax arrears as soon as possible! Otherwise, we will all be taken back and put in jail!" "
The village chief hunched over and hurriedly explained: "Master Guancha, aren't our taxes in Lijia Village exempted this season? Why do we have to pay them again?"
Li Jincheng also stood up a little eagerly and said: "Yes, Lord Official. This is what the County Chief personally promised. Is there any misunderstanding among the officials?"
The leading official pushed Li Jincheng away and shouted: "Misunderstanding? How can there be any misunderstanding! You just say it without proof. You said that the county magistrate agreed, so you agreed? Who knows if you, a yellow-tongued kid, are talking nonsense here? ?
In short, I don’t care! Today, even if Lijia Village doesn’t hand over the food, you have to hand it over! And you have to pay 20% more than before! Otherwise, forget about our ruthlessness! "
Li Jincheng, who was pushed to the ground, was deeply shocked.
how so?
How can the government go back on its word?
Although Zhao Lei took the credit for the tax exemption, as long as the villagers benefited, it didn't matter if he, Li Jincheng, had to suffer a little more.
But the tiger demon had just left for half a month, and the government refused to admit it.
This was a real blow to Li Jincheng, who had always been upright.
As a result, Yu was pushed to the ground, the skin on his palms was broken, and he couldn't feel the pain. He sat there as if he had lost his soul, doubting his life.
At this moment, Ma Pijin, Wang Daoyi and his seven disciples also arrived at the scene.
Seeing Ma Pijin coming, all the government officials stepped forward and said respectfully: "Sir!"
Ma Pijin said casually, but his attention was actually paying attention to Wang Daoyi's reaction all the time.
Because when they came all the way, they happened to see the scene where Li Jincheng was pushed down.
Seeing Wang Daoyi's frown, Ma Pijin immediately explained: "Taoist Master, I made you laugh. It's because I am not strict in discipline. But there is nothing we can do about it, because the villagers here have been confused by monsters. They only care about themselves. , simply did not care about the life and death of other people.
It should be noted that only when there is a country, there is a home.
The countless people in the royal city are waiting for these grains to save their lives, but they still delay again and again..."
After seeing the situation around Xuanyang City.
Comparing the situation in Lijiacun, Wang Daoyi actually believed Ma Pijin's words 70% to 80%.
After all, all I saw along the way were ordinary people who were barely clothed and hungry.
What about here in Lijiacun?
All of them were wearing thick fur clothes, with radiant faces and rosy faces.
If there were no monsters causing trouble, how could the difference be so big?
Wang Daoyi waved his hand: "I understand, I believe they are temporarily confused by monsters. I hope you will get enough food and don't hurt them."
Seeing that the Taoist priest was so 'understanding', Ma Pijin beamed with joy and said, "Don't worry, Taoist priest, at this level. I will instruct the government officials to be courteous to the villagers when collecting grain."
Wang Daoyi then smiled and said: "Good."
Then Ma Pijin turned around and yelled at the government officials: "Did you hear that? Try to be courteous to the people when collecting grain!"
"Yes, sir!"
Afterwards, the government officials began to break into the village to steal food, regardless of the villagers' resistance.
"Sir, you can't do this~!"
"This is what the king assigned to us!"
"You have taken away the food. How are we going to live?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"If you don't come back, all your hard work in Lijiacun will be gone~!"
"No! You can't go there! If you want to enter the village to grab food, you can only step over my body, Li Ergou!"
I saw the villagers desperately blocking the officials from entering the village.
Wang Daoyi frowned.
This was the first time he saw a mortal protecting monsters so much.
It seems that the confusion skills of those monsters cannot be underestimated.
When dealing with monsters later, be sure to remind the disciples to be careful of the opponent's confusion techniques.
Just when the two sides were arguing, a noise suddenly came from the distant mountains and forests. The noise sounded like thousands of horses galloping.
All the birds and animals in the forest were frightened and fled randomly.
Everyone stopped subconsciously.
All looked toward the noise.
Immediately afterwards, I saw dust flying in the mountain forest and leaves and branches flying.
Not long after, I saw a group of monsters running out of the forest...
