Chapter 107 Strange things in the small town

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.

The spring rain is lingering, but the air in the town is not as fresh as after the rain. The sound of firecrackers is crackling everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke fills the streets. There were children running around in the rain, picking up dry firecrackers everywhere and trying to light them. Some of them actually went off, and the children were beaming with joy.

It’s Chinese New Year...

Qin Yi held an oil-paper umbrella and stood outside the town watching the firecrackers in every house from a distance. Only then did he realize that the customs of Qian Country are similar to those of China, and they also have the Spring Festival.

I really missed it, I finally found something familiar in another world.

I wonder if Nanli has this kind of festival custom...

Even if there is, Li Qingjun probably doesn't have time to celebrate the New Year at this time.

This is a small town in the Qian Kingdom. Although it is a small town, it feels quite lively, even comparable to the counties in Nanli. If it rains heavily in Nanli, no one will be seen on the streets.

He came to this town because he heard on the road that there was a fairy mountain nearby. It was said that there were immortal relics there, so a Taoist temple was built in the mountain. The abbot of the Taoist temple was said to have gained enlightenment from the immortal relics and had learned the method of immortality. He now lives for two years. One hundred and fifty years old...

The number two hundred and five made Qin Yi want to complain, but the "immortal ruins" and "immortality method" interested him very much, so he would naturally come to look for one or two.

That's right. If there are immortals, there will naturally be Taoist temples. Not to mention the Taoist temple in our Xianji Mountain, there are not even any tiles on the mountain. No wonder not many people believe in it. But in fact, Immortal Miracle Mountain is really the place where there are miraculous miracles. The tsundere stick in the ring at this time proves this.

It was already dusk, and the spring rain was coming. Looking at the distant mountains, they were still some distance away, and they were blurry and difficult to distinguish in the rain. Qin Yi planned to stay in the town for one night first.

He was currently at the archway outside the town, looking at several notices posted on the street.

One of the hanging lists said that the well in Wang Yuan's home had dried up inexplicably, and even the smelly ditch behind the house had no water. It was hanging on the list to hire someone who was proficient in well surveying and dredging, etc., and there would be a heavy reward.

Qin Yi watched in rapt attention, and many things in the past flashed by.

At that time, when everyone looked at the list, they felt that the incident in Zhangjiazhuang was most likely to be man-made, so they finally went there...

The current list... the wells have dried up inexplicably, and even the ditches have no water. A wealthy family cannot find any regular factors, and will be asked to ask for help. It is really possible that there are monsters at work.

Are demons causing trouble at the foot of the mountain known as the "Fairy Trail"? Qin Yi smiled.

If it were you, you would definitely go and see it with great interest.

I'll do your share for you.

The child picked up another firecracker, but set off another firecracker in the wet rain. The child wiped his nose and threw the squib away angrily.

"Hey, this one must be loud."

A firecracker was handed to me. It looked dry and usable. The child happily took it and looked up. It was a good-looking big brother. He smiled with his eyes narrowed and was very kind. But in this cold spring weather, this big brother was only wearing a thin green shirt, which made him feel cold.

The child didn't think too much, lit the firecrackers and threw them into the puddle nearby.

With a "bang" sound, the mud and water splashed, but he exploded into a mud monkey.

Qin Yi laughed and said to himself: "Ye Ling must like it very much. I wonder if there are any firecrackers there."

"Who is Ye Ling?" the disgraced child asked curiously.

"A kid who's almost as stupid as you."

"I'm not stupid, I can help my mother with soy sauce!" The child said unconvinced, and then became curious: "Brother, aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold." Qin Yi said with a smile: "Children, which family is Wang Yuan's wife in this town?"

"That's our proprietor." The child whispered: "My mother said that the proprietor was usually too evil-hearted, so he suffered evil retribution. Big brother, it's better not to go..."

Qin Yi rubbed his head: "You are not a stupid child, can you say this to everyone? Your mother will beat you to death if she finds out."

The so-called Wang Yuanwai is an old bureaucrat who returned to his hometown after serving his official career. To the town, he is a first-class big shot, the kind who chats and laughs happily with the county magistrate. He owns one-third of the land in the town, and most of the townspeople are either his parents' employees or his assistants. Qin Yi stood at the door of Wang Yuanwai's house, looked at the fierce janitor, and shook his head slightly.

I'm afraid I came in the wrong place.

This trip has been going on for more than half a month. I originally wanted to slay demons, but some of the strange things I saw along the way were often man-made. The demons were not killed, but many bullies were eliminated. Nowadays, Wang Yuanwai's family can probably be called a monster fighting a bully, a dog eats a dog?

Then there is nothing to worry about...

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Su said: "It's better to take a look. You haven't seen anything along the way. Finally, there is something that may be strange. Of course you have to take a look. Don't worry about it."

Qin Yi thought: "Why do I think you want to have fun?"

"Can't I have fun? This journey is so boring."

"Now I really wonder how you managed to get here after spending tens of thousands of years in the mountains."

"Isn't it just because you have been in the mountains for a long time?"

"Okay..." Qin Yi had no choice but to step forward.

The servant has noticed this guy a long time ago. He is standing at the door like a fool and doesn't know what he is doing. He is sneaky. So he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Professional pipe unblocking, sewers, sewage pipes, phone calls... er, I'm here to help your family solve the water well problem."

"Just you?" The servant looked at Qin Yi suspiciously. He was dressed in a green shirt and had a handsome temperament. He looked like a scribe. How could he do such a thing?

I didn't chase him away when I saw him being sneaky before, just because I felt that his temperament was extraordinary and not like ordinary people. It turns out that this guy is not only an ordinary person, but also a well man?

Qin Yi said with a smile: "I can't do it anyway and I won't charge you any money. You don't care what I look like. I've already made the list and you still want to pick someone?"

The servant went in to report the matter suspiciously. Not long after, a sad-faced butler came out. Without asking any more questions, he said directly: "Since you are here to see the well, come with me quickly."

It seems that this was also caused by the well problem. The owner of the house was probably forcing him to throw himself into the well...

Qin Yi was following behind and was about to enter when suddenly someone came from outside, shouting all the way: "Taoist Priest Qinghe is here!"

The housekeeper was overjoyed and walked away: "If the Taoist priest casts a spell, the problem will be solved!"

Qin Yi turned around and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest slowly approaching amid the sound of firecrackers. Wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, with a long five-willow beard floating on his chest, he holds a whisk and a peach wood sword slanted on his back. Set off by the smoke of the firecrackers, he looked extremely fairy-like.

She really has some practice... First level of Fengchu? Or the second floor?

Not bad at all. This is the first Taoist priest Qin Yi has seen since his journey to the north. It seems that there may be some skills in that fairy mountain.

For simple evil spirits, Taoist priests on the first and second floors of Fengchu who have some real skills would be enough.

It's just that everyone, including the housekeeper and the servants, gathered around the Taoist priest, and he found himself standing alone by the door, and no one paid attention to him...

Qin Yi laughed dumbly and silently followed the crowd in.

The gatekeeper Ding Qi said: "Qing and Taoist priests are here, why are you, a scribe, going in?"

"The Taoist priest does his own thing, and I have control over it. Why don't you all have anything to do with it... If you have a beautiful lady in your family, you might as well get to know her..."

Qin Yi responded casually, but suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart, as if he was being watched.

He quickly turned around and saw a round figure in yellow at the corner of the street, who disappeared in a flash.
