"Ruan Li?"
Although they had not seen each other for more than a year, Xianghai immediately recognized Ruan Li and called out her name.
Approaching, Xianghai looked at Ruan Li's appearance carefully, and then said softly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing, fellow Taoist?"
Ruan Li nodded and was about to introduce him, but Xianghai also saw Yu Jianqiu. He immediately straightened his face and saluted with his hands clasped in fists: "Greetings to Senior Yu!"
Yu Jianqiu also returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Deacon Xianghai, you are well."
It turned out that the two had a long history. As a genius of the Tiangui Sect, Yu Jianqiu often went down the mountain to perform high-level tasks for the sect, so it was inevitable that he would deal with Heyundian.
The two of them seemed to be about the same age, and Yu Jianqiu entered Taoism earlier, so he should be the senior.
"What are you doing?" Xianghai looked at the two of them, and then at the four big men kneeling beside them, a little puzzled.
Those four big men lost all their arrogance when they saw the people in Heyun Palace. Looking at the current situation, it seemed that their arrogance had offended the master.
After all, even the deacons of Heyun Palace had to call the man senior.
"Senior Brother Yu took me down the mountain to practice. I just saw these people bullying others at this tea stall with some tricks. Senior Brother Yu couldn't stand it and taught me a lesson." Ruan Li explained briefly with horror.
Xianghai's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly when he saw a few people. He raised his hand and ordered the men of Heyundian behind him: "Take them all away!"
As long as a monk makes a mistake or breaks the law, he will be dealt with by Heyun Palace.
"We from Heyun Palace inspect Lin'an every day, but there are always fish like this that slip through the net, so I bothered Senior Yu to take action." Xianghai said.
Yu Jianqiu didn't care much: "When the road is uneven, it's just a matter of hands."
Then, Xianghai actually took out something from the space ring and handed it to Ruan Li.
Ruan Li couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "Deacon Xianghai is still here?"
It's not a side object, but the shark bead that Ruan Li left on the East Meridian Gate.
Xianghai said: "This shark pearl shone for a long time, and then the light gradually weakened until it went out, so I put it away. I thought that if I see my little Taoist friend again in the future, I must return it to you with my own hands, and thank you for the people of Lin'an City. you."
"This shark pearl is already expensive, so there is nothing wrong with returning it to its original owner!"
Ruan Li reached out to take it and said: "Compared to those seniors who personally surrounded and suppressed the demon cultivators, what I did is not worth mentioning."
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Yu Jianqiu spoke at the right time: "Deacon Xianghai, we still have a mission, and we have to get to Liujiacun before dark."
Hearing this, Xianghai nodded and did not dare to waste their time: "We will see you later!"
After saying goodbye to each other, Yu Jianqiu dropped a broken piece of silver as tea souvenirs, and continued on the road with Ruan Li.
"I've heard a little bit about this Shark Pearl."
On the way, Yu Jianqiu, who had always been silent on the road, actually took the initiative to speak: "Although my junior sister was not good at cultivation at that time, she had a heart of great love for the people, which is really rare."
Ruan Li was slightly stunned, but when she thought about the reason for this incident, she really couldn't laugh.
Then he shook his head and sighed: "Brother, don't give me such a high hat. It's just that when I saw so many corpses, I felt that the people were so innocent."
Although the demon cultivator incident has been temporarily subsided, the shock to Ruan Li at that time is still there.
Yu Jianqiu only glanced sideways at her and saw that there seemed to be emotional fluctuations in her eyes, so he said nothing more at the moment.
As night fell, the two finally arrived at Liujia Village.
At this time, some candlelight shines through every house in the village, and occasionally a lantern is burning on the high red door of a wealthy family in the village.
Because this Liujia Village is a village below Lin'an City, the people's lives are relatively prosperous. You can get a glimpse of it from these courtyards and houses. It is quite different from the Lianhua Village where Uncle Huang lives.
In the middle of the village, there was a bamboo sign hanging on the door of the village chief's house. Ruan Li stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, there were some rustling sounds inside, but no one answered.
Ruan Li knocked twice more, and a deliberately lowered voice finally sounded: "Who is it?"
The voice was cautious and filled with fear.
Ruan Li responded quickly: "But Village Chief Liu's family? I am a disciple of the Tiangui Sect, and I came here with my senior brother to handle the task entrusted by the village chief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside, and then he saw a white-haired old man sticking his head out excitedly: "You are finally here..."
The hall was brightly lit with candles, and the last dish of rich chicken soup was served on the round table. The village chief’s wife, Mrs. Liu Wang, rubbed her hands on her apron with some embarrassment: “Don’t dislike it, two immortals. We are all mortals in our village. On weekdays, at home, No spiritual food is prepared, just some simple food, so the two immortals will take care of it first."
Ruan Li swiped it lightly, stir-fried sea cucumbers with green onions, steamed velvet antlers, morel mushrooms and old wild ginseng chicken soup...
There are eight dishes on a table, all exquisite and fragrant.
It seems that Liujia Village is really rich, no wonder they can come up with so many spiritual stones to issue tasks at once.
"It's very rich. Thank you for your hard work." Yu Jianqiu remained as steady as a mountain and nodded in thanks.
Then he picked up his chopsticks and started to move. Seeing this, Ruan Li also started eating.
The food is quite delicious, much better than spiritual food!
The village chief looked at the two of them from the side, his eyes full of relief after seeing hope.
Yu Jianqiu peeled the shrimp in his hand and looked at the old village chief and said, "Old man, tell us what happened in the village."
"Okay, okay!" The old village chief seemed to have been waiting for a long time and nodded quickly.
Huanglong Town is the richest town around Lin'an City, and Liujia Village is the richest village around Huanglong Town.
Just because there is a river rich in aquatic products in Liujiacun-Yudai River!
The main stream of the Jade Belt River is called the Mother River. This river has a long source and runs through the north and south ends of Tiangui City.
In addition, the Yudai River has many branches, and each branch is called a sub-river.
The one in Liujiacun is one of the sub-rivers.
Different from other sub-rivers, only this branch of the Yudai River in the village has an inexhaustible supply of fish, shrimps, river crabs, and has brought tremendous wealth to the villagers of Liujia Village. It has nurtured Liujia Village for generations to come. The mother river of Liujiacun is not an exaggeration.
However, not long ago, villagers in Liujia Village, who made a living by fishing for fish, shrimp and aquatic products, were killed one after another by the Yudai River.
The deaths were extremely tragic and ugly, and some of them didn't even have complete corpses. They obviously didn't look like they had died by drowning.
Moreover, because the villagers live by water, they are all connected to water, so drowning is even more impossible.
Therefore, the theory of water demon gradually evolved.
At the end of the sentence, the old village chief burst into tears: "Poor those children, they were not even twenty years old yet, they just disappeared without any reason!"
"The restaurants in this town and in Lin'an have all signed long-term aquatic product supply documents with our village. Many villagers were afraid of losing their integrity, so they took the risk and cast a net into the river. As a result..."
