When Li Yuan and the master and apprentice returned to the town, it was already noon, and there were many fewer people on the street.

Following the old Taoist, Li Yuan couldn't use spells, and after walking down the mountain, he pretended to be tired and stuck out his tongue.

first found Lin Yingying to be coquettish and let her hold herself.

After walking for a while, Lin Yingying's face was already red, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her smooth and white forehead.

The old Taoist priest who was heartbroken with his apprentice couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to hug Li Yuan from his apprentice's arms.

Holding Li Yuan in one hand and his apprentice in the other, he walked to a restaurant on Binjiang Street.

The name of the restaurant is Wohu Building, and the name is borrowed from the word Crouching Tiger of Wohu Mountain, which is the one where Li Yuan went down the mountain at night and stole wine.

The old Taoist priest is a cultivator, and in his eyes, all spirits are equal, and he usually treats Li Yuan as a member of the Taoist temple and treats him equally.

Now that he has realized that Li Yuan has opened his mind, it is even more so.

Two people and a cat, each sat on a chair, and after ordering the meal, the old Taoist priest also specially told Xiao Er to prepare three dishes and chopsticks.

Two meats, one vegetable and one soup, a simple meal, did not sit for a long time, the old Taoist priest took his apprentice and Li Yuan, got up and left.

Walking out of the restaurant, Li Yuan walked in front to lead the way, and the master and apprentice followed behind.

"Black thief cat, stop!"

Passing through the doors of several shops, Li Yuan walked to the door of Pan's fishing shop again.

The shopkeeper, who had just finished lunch and was resting on a recliner, saw Li Yuan.

But the boss didn't know that Li Yuan deliberately slowed down and let him find out.

The shopkeeper walked out angrily, and just as he was about to get angry with Li Yuan, he noticed it, followed closely behind, and the old Taoist priest who followed up.

"Jin Jiang!" The old Taoist priest knew the shopkeeper and shouted.

The shopkeeper is called Pan Jinjiang, who secretly ran into the river to play in the water when he was a child, and got into trouble, and the old Taoist priest drove away the evil for him.

"Chief Lin." Seeing the old Taoist priest, Pan Jinjiang's face was full of smiles, and he greeted him very respectfully.

"This black cat was adopted by my apprentice half a month ago, did he steal fish to eat in your shop today?" The old Taoist priest heard what Pan Jinjiang had just called Li Yuan, so he said.

"Chief Lin, this is your cat! That's okay, it's okay, my fish is all you want. As soon as he heard that Xiao Hei was adopted by the old Taoist priest, Pan Jinjiang was not angry.

"Alas! How can that work. As he spoke, the old Taoist priest took out dozens of copper coins from his inner pocket and handed them to Pan Jinjiang.

Hurriedly waved his hand and pushed the old Taoist priest's outstretched hand back, Pan Jinjiang refused: "Daoist Lin, I can't accept your money, you are my great benefactor." Although I, Pan Jinjiang, have not read any books, I still understand this kind of kindness. ”

After handing it over several times, seeing Pan Jinjiang's resolute attitude, the old Taoist priest had no choice but to take back the money, and took out a spirit talisman from his sleeve and handed it out.

"Jin Jiang, this is the talisman I drew, you can keep it." The old Taoist priest was resolute this time, "Don't refuse." ”

"That..."After hesitating for a moment, Pan Jinjiang looked at the old Taoist priest's expression, but still caught the talisman, "Daoist Lin, thank you!" ”

After speaking, Pan Jinjiang looked at Li Yuan again, his attitude was much better, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hei, if you want to eat fish in the future, come to me." ”

"Meow!"

After calling twice, it was counted as a response, Li Yuan looked at the old Taoist priest again, and when he saw the old Taoist nodding, he continued to walk forward.

Bidding farewell to Pan Jinjiang and taking his apprentice, the old Taoist priest followed Li Yuan to the riverside.

Walking to the position where the carp essence was released in the morning, Li Yuan stopped, shouted a few times at the old Taoist priest, and stretched out his right paw to point to the water.

"Yingying, you stand here, don't run around."

After telling the apprentice, the old Taoist priest stepped forward and came to Li Yuan's side.

The old Taoist priest didn't make any moves, only saw his eyes flash, observing the surface of the river.

The spell used by the old Taoist priest is called "Yin Yang Eye", which is different from the common ordinary goods in the cultivation world, and it is the third generation of Xuanqingguan Patriarch, who accidentally obtained it in a ruin, which is the entry method of the supernatural power "Yin Yang Heavenly Eye".

After only a few glances, the old Taoist's face changed slightly, and a trace of anger emerged.

The figures of more than 20 water ghosts in the river, all of them were in their eyes, and combined with the soul stones brought back by Li Yuan, the old Taoist priest had already guessed that someone was practicing ghosts with the help of wandering souls in the river.

The Sanhua River and Wohu Mountain are all spiritual, and it is precisely because of this that the ancestor of Xuanqingguan opened the mountain and built the temple here.

The evil cultivator in the dark used the soul stone to catalyze the wandering soul in the river into a ghost, and then nourished it with spiritual energy, allowing them to devour each other, like raising Gu, to practice a powerful ghost.

According to the strength and scale of the water ghosts in the river, the old Taoist priest estimated that there were at least 3 powerful ghosts trained here.

And when these 3 grades of powerful ghosts are practiced, and then let him use the residents of the town as blood food and devour it, he is expected to be promoted to 4 grades.

Now that the cultivation is difficult, not counting those old monsters who are in retreat and sleeping, the 4th rank is already a rare powerhouse.

Xuanqing Guan is a semi-hidden Taoist sect, the old Taoist priest traveled the world when he was young, and he also borrowed a pseudonym, and his reputation was not obvious, and only a few monks knew his identity.

The evil cultivator didn't know that there was an old Taoist priest here, and he was so bold that he practiced such a vicious method under the nose of the old Taoist priest at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain.

The fury of thunder was shocked in his heart, and the old Taoist priest's face became calm.

"Let's go back to the Taoist temple!"

"Master, don't we fight the bad guys?"

Lin Yingying, who had been standing honestly, heard the words of the old Taoist priest and asked curiously.

The old Taoist priest didn't speak, turned around and walked in front of Lin Yingying, and took the apprentice's hand.

"Yingying, do you know how to fight rats?"

Looking at the master suspiciously, Lin Yingying thought about it and pointed to Li Yuan.

"Let Blackie catch him."

Li Yuan secretly pursed his lips.

"Then there's no little black, let you fight?" The old Taoist priest continued to ask.

Frowning, learning from the example of an adult, holding his hands in front of his chest and putting his right hand on his chin, he looked like he was thinking.

"Then I'll hit him with a big stick, pop! Beat the rats to pieces. As she spoke, Lin Yingying also made movements, clasped her hands weakly, and danced in the air.

Laughing silently, looking at the apprentice's cute and innocent appearance, the old Taoist priest touched the apprentice's little head.

"Yingying, you remember. The difficulty in fighting a mouse is not in the fight, but in how to find it. Rats like to hide in the shadows and are usually hard to spot, so we can't go for it with great fanfare. As soon as you shouted, the rats ran away. ”

"Master, then how are we going to catch the rats?" Lin Yingying's face was full of curiosity and asked curiously.

"We have to quietly, lure the rat out with bait, and then set a trap so that it has nowhere to escape, and the final blow will be fatal." The old Taoist priest's smiling eyes narrowed, and he explained to the apprentice in a calm tone.

"Master, I see what you mean." Nodding, Lin Yingying showed a smug smile, leaned over to the master's lap, and said ostentatiously, "That bad guy is hiding in the shadows, we have to pretend not to know, trick him out, and then catch him." ”

"Huh! What a good apprentice for me! The old Taoist priest smiled even more happily, bent down and hugged Lin Yingying in his arms, and kissed him happily.

Touching the kissed face with her hand, Lin Yingying shouted, "Master hates it!" You are not allowed to kiss me, huh! ”

"Hahaha!" The apprentice's intelligence and cuteness made the old Taoist feel much better, and he smiled very happily.

Holding the apprentice and taking Li Yuan with him, the old Taoist priest left the riverside with a smile.
