Chapter Eighty-Seven: The City Lord of Jimo
The master of the Tao family just died, and he became a little disciple of the Tao family again, no wonder he would die without turning a blind eye.
Regarding Tao Qi's scrutiny, Tao Yao smiled casually and comforted, "The Seventh Elder is afraid that people are worried about the sky, and they can't see anyone for one night, so what is the trace? Most of the three little disciples are naughty, where are they hiding and playing."
"It's impossible." Tao Qi shook his head, "The Tao family has rules, but where the children want to go, they must have an explanation, otherwise, they will break the rules.
Taoxian Zun was originally the daughter of the head of the family, so she didn't know much about the rules of the family, but if anyone else dared to break the rules casually, they would be severely punished.
Well, they must be missing."
"Oh."
Tao Yao's clear and shallow "oh" deepened the wrinkle between Tao Qi's eyebrows, and he said a lot, hoping that Tao Yao would say more and be wrong, but Tao Yao didn't want to say it, so he was a little bored.
However, Tao Qi is Tao Qi, and emotional intelligence is indeed one of the best figures in the Tao family, and when he saw that Tao Yao did not answer, he took over his words and said, "If only the three little disciples are missing, there is nothing to be nervous about.
The patriarch was worried, and the person who caught the little disciple was probably a thief who stole the forbidden things, so he sent me to bring some people over. This is to fulfill the filial piety of Mrs. Tao, and the other is to protect the safety of the two immortals."
As she expected, these people came, and they didn't plan to leave.
Seeing that Tao Yao didn't let go, Tao Qi shook his head pitifully, and couldn't hide his sorrow: "I don't know what happened to the Tao family recently, first lost the forbidden object, and now the three little disciples are missing, it's hard to guarantee that it's not an eventful time."
The elders of the clan are crying, what else can she do?
Tao Yao smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Tao Qi's shoulder, already showing comfort: "Seventh Elder, don't worry too much, no matter how bold the thief is, this is the Tao family after all."
"Peach Immortal Venerable is right."
People can't drive away, and she doesn't have to bother to catch up, anyway, about the possible changes today, she has already calculated and calculated, and the appearance of Tao Qi will not make her shocked, I don't know what to do.
Maybe this trip is accompanied by Tao Qi, maybe it's better.
The rain in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a tendency to turn into torrential rain, Tao Yao bowed slightly to Tao Qi: "Seventh Elder, without further ado, the deity is in a hurry to send Ah Niang into the ground. Since the patriarch has a heart, there is no reason for the deity to refuse, so it bothers the seven elders and all the senior brothers and disciples of the Tao family to accompany the deity to send A-Niang together."
"Yes, Peach Immortal Venerable." The disciples of the Tao family bowed in unison, and their posture was respectful.
So the group set off.
The eldest brother of the Tao family sat on the spirit pet Xiaobai, holding the spiritual position of Mrs. Tao in his hand, and the second brother of the Tao family held a big black umbrella to protect Mrs. Tao from the rain.
And Tao Yao and Lu Li, one left and one right, held Mrs. Tao's coffin.
As for the hard work of carrying the coffin, it was naturally handed over to the disciples of the Tao family.
And Tao Qi always stands by Tao Yao's side.
"Tao Xianzun, according to the rules, after the funeral, I should eat a table of tofu seats, I have already asked the people of the Tao family to prepare the table according to the instructions of the patriarch."
Tofu Xi Taoyao knows, but the Tao family actually set up a banquet for Mrs. Tao, but it is a bit of a surprise. I'm afraid that this banquet is not a good banquet, but a Hongmen banquet.
"Rest assured, although it is a tofu mat, the table is prepared with all the things that Immortal Zun loved to eat in the past."
So she understood.
The Tao family is suspicious of her, and the purpose of the Hongmen banquet is to expose her in public.
"Okay." Tao Yao nodded briskly, "There is the Lao Tao Patriarch and the Seventh Elder who are concerned."
Tao Yao's promise made Tao Qi smile slightly: "Tao Xianzun is too polite, we are all a family, what do you say about worrying about it."
The rain turned into a torrential rain, because it was so heavy that they could not see the road ahead.
Tao Yao frowned, and said to Tao Qi worriedly, "Why is this rain getting heavier? If the peach family's graveyard is too far away, this is terrible."
Tao Qi smiled and pointed to the lake not far away: "The Tao family cemetery is on the other side of the lake, and the Tao family has prepared a big boat on the lake, and when you get on the boat, you will be fine."
Sure enough, there was a big boat parked by the lake, which was drenched by the rain and clung to the mast. As soon as they reached the shore, the Tao family disciples quickly carried the coffin onto the boat.
When the group got on the boat, the man at the helm ordered the anchor to be retracted, and the boat took advantage of the tailwind to speed off the shore and enter the water.
The boat prepared by the Tao family was not small, the coffin stopped in the center, and dozens of disciples of the Tao family stood in the rain, surrounding the coffin, forming a circle. The second brother of the Tao family supported the weak eldest brother of the Tao family and leaned on the position closest to the coffin.
And Tao Yao and Lu Li stood on the other side of the coffin.
At this moment, Elder Peach Seven did not follow Tao Yao anymore, but stood beside the helmsman.
Last night, she had discussed today's escape plan with the eldest brother of the Tao family.
Timing is the most important thing when it comes to escaping.
If you are bent on escaping, it is better on the way to the funeral, because the Tao family would not have thought that the two brothers of the Tao family, who are sons of man, would actually ignore the body of the old lady in order to survive.
However, the eldest brother of the Tao family refused, and he insisted on sending Mrs. Tao into the ground first.
After sending Mrs. Tao away, it is not impossible, according to Tao Yao's prediction, the disappearance of the Tao family master will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Tao family.
Inevitably, the Peach family will definitely start to monitor them closely, so today, when Mrs. Peach is in the ground, the Peach family will definitely send someone to follow them.
But what she didn't expect was that the Tao family not only sent Tao Qi, but also dozens of other people. And these dozens of people, since they came out of Tao Ranju, have not said a word, everyone has a calm face, and they look very difficult to get along.
"Senior Brother Lu, can you tell how they cultivate?"
Lu Li's expression was solemn, and he replied softly, "It's either the late stage of heartbeat, or the early stage of Jindan."
In other words, these people were carefully selected by the Tao family, and their cultivation was neither strong enough to suppress Lu Li, but also not so low that they couldn't stop Lu Li.
Just one peach seven is enough for them to drink a pot, let alone facing so many people? In addition, there are four people here, except for Lu Li, who can fight, there are three left, and one is more incapable than the other.
The Peach family really looks up to them.
Lu Li was worried, and asked cautiously, "Senior Sister Tao, what should I do?"
Tao Yao smiled and replied, "Let's get down to business first."
Then, Tao Yao closed her eyes.
The Tao family's mansion was built in the middle of the lake, but the Tao family's ancestral tomb was on the north side of the hill on the side of the lake. By the time Mrs. Peach was in the ground, it was close to noon.
On the way back, Tao Qi came to Tao Yao's side: "Tao Xianzun, seeing that the wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, we might as well fly with Edgeworth when we go back, how about it?"
Tao Yao squinted, wanting to see through the rain curtain to see the shore, who had been waiting for?
Unable to wait for an answer, Tao Qi urged: "Peach Immortal Venerable, what do you think?"
"I'm really sorry, Seventh Elder, the deity hasn't learned the sword yet."
Tao Qi smiled and said empathetically, "If Immortal Venerable doesn't mind, you can ride the same sword with me."
How's that going to work?
If they really flew back, how could the two brothers of the Tao family run? How do you sing today's play?
Tao Qi no longer asked Tao Yao, but took the initiative to command a disciple to tell the boatman to drive the empty boat back to Taojia Island. Then, he sacrificed his long sword and invited Tao Yao to go first.
Seeing that the plan couldn't catch up with the change, at this time, the eldest brother of the Tao family suddenly fell on the back of the tiger, and Tao Yao, who was about to take the sword, hurriedly turned around and rushed over to look at the eldest brother of the Tao family.
When she got in front of the eldest brother of the Tao family, she grabbed the white tiger's ear and began to scold angrily. Lu Li, one left and one right, began to check the body of the eldest brother of the Tao family.
Half an hour passed.
Tao Qi frowned and was about to speak, but saw that the Tao family disciple who went to deliver the message rushed over in a panic, and shouted urgently, "Seventh Elder, something happened—"
Tao Qi paused, his already unkind gaze became more and more unkind, and with a wave of his sleeves, he made the Tao family disciple who was about to rush to him fall and eat.
"Immortal Venerable, what kind of fuss is it like to make such a fuss—"
Tao Qi's precept was not over, and in the pouring rain, a middle-aged man dressed in purple and wearing a golden crown walked over surrounded by a group of people with different appearances.
When she got closer, Tao Yao took a clear look at the strange-looking people.
The important thing is not the appearance of these people, the important thing is that they are each carrying a magic weapon in their hands, obviously, the city lord of Jimo is prepared.
It's good to be prepared.
The corners of Taoqi's mouth hooked, and with a friendly smile, he greeted him: "Lord City Lord, it is raining heavily today, you are not lazy in the City Lord's Mansion, why did you come to Tao's house?"
The city lord didn't laugh, "Didn't the Seventh Elder not hide on the island either?"
"......" a rhetorical question, killing Tao Qi suddenly stopped.
The city lord glanced around casually, and then said, "Seventh Elder, the city lord is seriously ill and worried about the child, in order to make the city lord get better as soon as possible, the city lord has come to pick up the child and return home."
Tao Qi immediately raised a worried expression: "Madame, is it okay?"
"Not very good."
"The Tao family has a good pharmacist, I'll let them go to the city lord and take a good look at the lady."
The city lord sneered and shook his head: "Seventh Elder, although the pharmacist of the Tao family is good, but the city lord's mansion is not bad, the seventh elder only substitutes for the pharmacist, but does not say anything about my son, could it be that something happened to my son?"
"How is that possible?!" Tao Yao immediately denied it, "City Lord, you know, the Tao family has strict rules, even if the city owner takes away his son, he always has to ask the patriarch."
"Okay, then go and ask." After saying that, the city lord pointed behind him domineeringly, "It's inevitable that you won't be able to go up to the island, and this city lord has brought enough guests today."
Tao Qi's face was as pale as obscure.
As smart as he is, he understands that the city lord did not suddenly rebel, but sensed something, so he brought many people to cultivate with him. The city lord is ready to make a big fuss once something happens.
Presumably the city lord, the Tao family is passive.
Just when Tao Qi was in a dilemma, Tao Yao walked over: "Seven Elders."
Tao Qi raised her eyes to look at Tao Yao, she saw doubt in his eyes, saw him and knew that she knew he was suspicious, but she and his undercurrent were turbulent, and the city lord didn't know.
And compared to her, the city lord has become the first crisis that Tao Qi has to solve.
Tao Yao arched his hand to the city lord of Jimo: "The city lord is polite."
The city lord does not squint and raises his hand lazily, which is counted as a return gift.
It's an arrogant man.
"Lord of the City, the deity is from Kunlun." As soon as these words came out, the city lord fell his eyes on Tao Yao, "The deity was originally from the Tao family, and this time I returned home for mourning."
Only then did the city lord raise his hand and salute back: "Peach Immortal Venerable mourns."
"City Lord, as a member of the Tao family, the deity wants to ask the Tao family to say a few words. Since the city lord once sent Ling Gongzi to the Tao family, it must be because he trusts the Tao family. Even so, I hope that the city lord will not be too anxious, stay on the island, and explain the reason to the Tao patriarch, and I will not embarrass the city lord if I want to come to the Tao family."
The city lord slightly hooked his lips: "Tao Xianzun is right."
Then, the city lord stretched out his right hand: "Seventh Elder, please—"
