Dao Fruit

Youxianju.

One of the more famous inns in Xingde City. Although the price of accommodation is not low, people still flock to it.

It's just that the shopkeeper was wondering because just now a group of well-known figures in the city had actually entered a room surrounded by two old men.

On the second floor, in a room, several men stood respectfully. If any Xingde people were here, they would immediately recognize that these people are famous wealthy businessmen in the city. They are usually dignified, but now they are all trembling with fear. He looked at the two people on the seat.

These are two Taoist priests.

These two Taoist priests are both very old. At first glance, they look like they were carved out of the same mold. They both have long hair and beards, white beards and hair, and rosy faces, giving them a somewhat childlike look.

But if you look carefully, you can still see a little difference under the beard and hair. It's just because the body shape, clothing, and grooming are too similar, they all look very old, and their faces are full of wrinkles, so it's difficult to tell them apart.

They sat there with their shoulders flat and their feet on the ground, motionless as a bell. Although they did not move or speak, they exuded an aura that filled the whole room. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary monks would probably be shocked. Too much to bear.

Several wealthy businessmen in Xingde City were trembled by this momentum, trembling and feeling gradually confused.

No one spoke and the room was quiet.

From the incense burner on the table, curls of green smoke rose and spread, bringing a refreshing fragrance. Following the air and airflow, it was inhaled into the noses of the wealthy businessmen, gradually blurring their consciousness.

About a quarter of an hour later, the old Taoist on the left suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. Everyone present felt their body and mind burning. In a daze, they saw a red sun jumping out behind the old Taoist. In the hanging room, the light fell on the body, and the burning heat penetrated from the surface of the skin to the organs and bone marrow!

Immediately, their sagging flesh and blood and aging organs began to change in this high temperature. Impurities and fat slowly transformed, and their physiques improved.

"ah!"

A well-known wealthy businessman couldn't help but open his mouth to exhale and screamed. In their senses, they felt that his whole body fell into the fire, and his whole body was extremely hot. However, his body was not really burned, and it did not cause much pain. , on the contrary, there is a pleasure and refreshing feeling of burning flesh and blood and eliminating impurities!

This feeling lasted for four or five breaths, and it dissipated after the old Taoist priest on the left closed his eyes.

"Huh~~"

Several people in the room were all red, with wisps of smoke coming out of their hair, and their eyes were red, and they were in high spirits!

Even the clothes they were wearing were shrinking and drying up, as if they were being steamed on a stove. One or two of them showed manic emotions, beating twice, as if they were about to pounce out at any time.

At this time, the old Taoist priest on the right also opened his eyes, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and then opened his mouth to exhale. This breath emits heat, but wherever it goes, it absorbs all the heat along the way. Stirring the air actually made the surrounding wind chilly, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop rapidly.

Then, the consciousness of everyone in the room fell into a trance again, and the light and shadow in the field of vision changed again, suddenly from the scorching sun in the sky to the severe cold. The heat in the body and the heat in the organs and bone marrow cooled rapidly, and even the consciousness became clear and recovered. usual.

The old Taoist on the right closed his eyes, and together with the old Taoist on the left, he restrained his aura and no longer filled the room.

As a result, many wealthy businessmen no longer trembled, but looked at their hands, or waved their arms and jumped in place.

"It's amazing. I feel much lighter and have more energy!"

"I have been suffering from leg ailments for many years, but I can no longer feel anything. Instead, I feel warm!"

"My chest tightness over the years has also gone away, and I feel like the mountain that was weighing on my body is gone!"

…

They smiled happily one by one. After sighing a few words, they suddenly woke up and saluted the two old Taoist priests: "Thank you two old gods."

"This is nothing," the old Taoist priest on the left said in a low voice, "I, Jinwu Taoist, follow the policy of mutual assistance and give you benefits in order for you to repay. Don't forget, when you go back, teach Jinwu Taoist masters like me Enshrine the portrait and pay homage day and night, otherwise even if you feel comfortable for a while, you will eventually fall into the original misery."

"This is natural, this is natural." Several wealthy businessmen nodded repeatedly and decided to hang up the portrait of Taoist Jinwu after returning home.

At this time, the old Taoist on the right also said: "In addition, in the past few days, you have to mobilize your manpower to pay attention to the scholars coming and going. If you encounter this person, keep him."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand a little, and a little light shot out from his fingertips and spread to the foreheads of several wealthy businessmen, sketching the figure of a scholar with a tall and straight posture in their minds.

"this……"

Several wealthy businessmen hesitated, and one of them, a man with a big belly, stepped forward and asked: "May I ask these two old gods, is this scholar a master who went to Beijing to take the exam?"

When the Taoist priest on the right heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I heard that this person is going to take the exam and passes through here."

After hearing this, the expressions of the wealthy businessmen changed slightly. What was wrong with the man who asked: "Old immortal, we don't dare to force the people who come to Beijing to take the exam to stay. In terms of money, they can't compare with us, but if they are provoked, it will be inevitable. There are some consequences that are not clear from the official side.”

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The old Taoist priest on the right was slightly surprised.

The old Taoist on the left replied: "It seems that there is a saying that you and I have not been in the mortal world for a long time, and we have almost forgotten many of the common rules. These merchants make money, eat grain, and are restricted by the laws of the common dynasty. There are some things they really dare not do. ”

"It's good that the old immortal can understand." Several wealthy businessmen hurriedly flattered, but they did not expect that the old man on the left suddenly flicked his fingers, and several small light spots as small as fire flew out!

Before many wealthy businessmen could react, those light spots fell on them and merged into their flesh and blood!

Stinging!

Suddenly, the stinging pain spread across their bodies, and the pot-bellied man burst into tears from the pain.

"We are not discussing with you," the old Taoist priest on the left said calmly with his eyes closed, "We are here just for this scholar, and everything else is secondary. If we can't handle this, what's the use of keeping it? The Yang Talisman is planted on you, and if you don't obey the command, you will be burned to ashes in three seconds, which is more direct than the secular law."

The old Taoist was plain, but his words were domineering. It was obvious that he didn't care about secular laws and human relations at all, and he had no intention of scheming with mortals.

"Old Immortal..." The voices of the wealthy businessmen trembled.

"Okay, let's go." The old Taoist on the left ignored him at all, flicked his sleeves, breathed hotly, and helped everyone out of the room. At the end, he added, "Yes, the scholar's name is Qiu Yan. Don't forget it. , once you see it, take action immediately!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As several wealthy businessmen were sent out, the doors and windows in the house closed on their own.

"Since it is inconvenient for them to take action, they can just pass on the news when they find Qiu Yan's traces. Why force them to take action?" The old Taoist priest on the right was slightly puzzled.

The old Taoist on the left shook his head: "These mortals are useless, but they can cause trouble for Qiu Yan. Since he wants to take the imperial examination, he must be bound by secular laws. The more mortals are allowed to take action, the easier it is to restrain his hands and feet. What's more, this person When a mortal is discovered by his cultivation, he will immediately react. Instead of trying to scare the snake away, it is better to take action and entangle him for a while to prevent him from escaping to the west. In the land of Kinki, magical powers must be suppressed. "

"This makes sense. Xingde City is on the edge of the restricted area. If you go further inside, it will be difficult to use your magical powers." The old Taoist on the right nodded, "But where did this Qiu Yan learn from? He can take down the Taoist master, but he still can't. Pretending to be a scholar, it seems that he wants to sneak into the secular court. He really doesn't know whether to live or die. Could it be that he doesn't know that the fate of the dynasty is as important as the country and has a huge influence on the Taoist conduct, and it is very likely that he will be bound to this continent! "

The old Taoist on the left said: "These things are not what we should be concerned about. Since this Qiu Yan took action against the Taoist Master and captured the Taoist Master, during this period of time, there were almost no rumors about the Golden Crow Taoist Master in the world. , he has greatly offended Jinwu Dao and must pay a price. As for his purpose of participating in the imperial examination, it is no longer important. How can he escape from you and me? "

As he spoke, the old man looked as if he was sure of Qiu Yan. It seemed that Qiu Yan's life and death had been decided. What he needed to consider was not how to fight Qiu Yan, but to prevent Qiu Yan from escaping and entering the depths of the capital.

The old Taoist on the right was not surprised: "That's true. However, when we came here, several elders proposed several candidates. As the new Taoist Jinwu and Taoist Crow, why do you object?"

The old Taoist on the left replied calmly: "The Golden Crow Taoist must strive to be the first in the world of practice and spread his reputation. How can ordinary people afford it? Those few people are not bad in normal times and can reach the level of the previous generation of Taoist masters, but now there are Why choose a second-rate candidate when you have a better one?”

"A better candidate? Are you referring to..." The old man on the right was talking when he suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand to grasp.

The scene in mid-air was immediately distorted, and then a distorted dark ghostly face appeared out of thin air. The old man took it into his hand, grabbed it with his five fingers, and pinched it into a wisp of green energy.

"External demon? If we act the way you and I do, our thoughts will form a loop and will not leak out at all. How can we provoke and attract external demons for no reason? Unless..."

"This external demon was driven by someone to come here to pry on purpose!"

………………

"As expected, he is from Jinwu Dao! The land of Gyeonggi? The restricted area of ​​magical power? So, you don't have to worry about being interfered by external forces during the imperial examination. It's just that you have to inquire about it even if you come here, or even follow the trend. It is always a disaster to stay. , However, these two Taoist priests have one eye like the sun and one eye closing the sun, they are not simple characters. In addition, the Golden Crow Taoist master seems to be weird, but this is an opportunity to try to make a further step in life cultivation..."

In a tea shop in a corner of the city, Qiu Yan took out a few coins and put them on the table while thinking, and then stood up. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
