Chapter 81: Old Friends

Lin Yi couldn't help but rejoice when he saw this scene on the eaves.

Fortunately, he was cautious enough, otherwise he would have been in a different place if he broke in to save people.

Not to mention the heavy ambushes and formations, Peng Laosha alone is not something that Lin Yi can deal with.

This person slapped a palm and easily smashed the wooden table, with a lot of strength.

The realm is at least two levels higher than him.

Lin Yi didn't dare to break in, so he had to find another way.

Thinking about it, there is no good solution.

However, there are more and more guards around Wang'an Tower, and they are patrolling around.

Lin Yi knew that the roof of the building was not a place to stay for a long time, so he quickly jumped off the eaves and turned back to the deserted courtyard behind the pavilion.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt that my right foot was slammed, as if I had stepped on a big rock.

"What's that?"

Lin Yi looked down and found that there was a stone statue under his feet, stepping on the stone statue's arm.

The stone statue is eight feet high, gray-white, and it is vaguely recognizable that it is a fairy holding a glass bead, with long eyebrows and a long beard.

This thing was placed in the temple, and everyone saw it respectfully and worshipped it.

It's just a rotten rock, weighed down by a pile of garbage and filth, and it's dirty and dirty.

Lin Yi swept his eyes, he didn't recognize what kind of immortal the stone statue was carved, so he didn't bother to think about it, so he stepped on it.

It's a pity that it's just an ordinary stone statue, useless to him.

If it was the golden statue of a certain immortal, he would have to carry it away even if he fought hard.

As soon as Lin Yi left the deserted courtyard, less than half a pillar of incense, several purple-robed monks walked in with torches, and after some inspection, they didn't find it, so they ambushed people nearby.

A toss, a night over.

Lin Yi did not show up.

The people of the Xuanling Taoist sect were all anxious, scratching their ears and cheeks one by one, fidgeting.

In particular, the monk with a broken arm was even more anxious, and he made a package ticket in front of his master, which could lead Lin Yi to take the bait.

As a result, the calculation was miscalculated, and he was naturally anxious.

Lin Yi was also anxious.

He and Ah Mao are not related, but after a few days of getting along, they like this child more and more.

So he racked his brains and wanted to save Ah Mao on the premise of saving his own life.

After thinking about it for a night and not coming up with a perfect solution, he didn't dare to act recklessly.

I was afraid that Peng Laosha would be angry and kill Ah Mao.

Naturally anxious.

"Peng Laosha values this wooden sword very much, why don't you use the wooden sword as a condition in exchange for Ah Mao?"

Lin Yi came up with this strategy, but quickly vetoed it.

The reason was simple, he couldn't trust the people of the Xuanling Dao Sect.

Without the talisman, his combat power is all supported by the wooden sword, if he hands over the wooden sword, the other party suddenly regrets it, and he will definitely die.

It is utterly foolish to make a deal with the enemy and expect him to keep his promises.

waited until noon, just when Lin Yi was anxious, a sedan chair suddenly came outside Wang'an Building.

The sedan chair bearer is wearing a government uniform and a gold belt at his waist, and it is obviously an official sedan chair.

There must be a court official seated inside.

Sure enough, the sedan chair stopped at the door, the sedan curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man wearing a green official uniform and a black gauze hat walked out.

This person, Lin Yi had seen before.

Isn't it Jiang Ming who once came to the Taoist temple to ask him for rain!

Jiang Ming is the county magistrate of Anning County, and it is not surprising that he appeared here.

"Lord Prefectural Order!"

"Meet your lord!"

The officials at the door knelt down and saluted.

Jiang Ming nodded, "Is Master Peng here?"

"Go back to your lordship and rest in the pavilion. ”

"Good. ”

Jiang Ming seemed to be in a hurry, and trotted into the Wangtian Tower.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi felt strange.

Jiang Ming's official is not big, but he is an official of the imperial court, how can he have an intersection with someone from the Xuanling Taoist Sect?

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yi understood.

Jiang Ming had previously been to Taikoo Temple and asked Lin Yi to ask for rain.

Lin Yi didn't know this and refused on the spot.

Jiang Ming had to find another master.

It is estimated that Peng Laosha is the "master" invited by Jiang Ming to ask for rain from the sky.

......

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ming walked out of the Wangtian Tower.

His expression was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, and there was a big word "sorrow" written on his face.

It seems that the trip did not go well.

"Press the car!"

"Lift the sedan chair!"

The palanquin bearers lifted the sedan chair and returned the way they came.

Crunch.

After a while, he went out on the street.

Lin Yi suddenly blessed his soul, and when he thought of a plan, he put his foot on the sedan chair.

It is to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Jiang Ming's appearance made Lin Yi desperate, which can be described as "fate".

Following out of the street, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

Next to it is the entrance of the county office.

"Press the car!"

Jiang Ming slowly got out of the sedan chair, his pace was sluggish, and he was worried when he saw his absent-minded appearance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yi stepped forward, "Lord County Order!"

Several officials were very vigilant, and when they saw that Lin Yi was unfamiliar with their faces, they immediately intercepted, "What person, stop!"

Lin Yi smiled faintly, "It's your adult's old friend." ”

The word "old friend" was very inappropriate, but it could attract Jiang Ming's attention, he turned around and looked at it, his face was surprised, "Dao Chief, it's you!"

At the beginning, he went to Taikoo Temple to ask Lin Yi for rain.

Lin Yi politely refused on the spot.

Jiang Ming regretted it for a long time, but today Lin Yi actually came to the door in person, which was a big surprise.

"Dao Chief, please come in!"

Jiang Ming was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Lin Yi into the back office, and entertained him with good tea and water.

After being polite, Jiang Ming couldn't help but ask: "Dao Chief, you came to Anning County in person today, do you have a way to ask for rain and relieve the worries of Anning?"

If Lin Yi helped to ask for rain, it would be excellent news for him.

Lin Yi shook his head, "Don't hide it from your lord, Poor Dao really doesn't know anything about the method of asking for rain." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ming's face instantly darkened, and his heart was depressed.

It's like lighting a candle in the dark, and in the blink of an eye, the candle flame is extinguished.

"However," Lin Yi smiled lightly, "Poor Dao saw Peng Laosha of the Xuanling Dao Sect before, and he lives in Wang'an Tower, so he must have the ability to ask for rain!"

Don't say it, as soon as he said it, Jiang Ming was even more worried, and his brows squeezed out several folds, "The Taoist is right, Peng Laosha is a master of cultivation and has the ability to ask for rain, but it's a pity that ......"

Jiang Ming will go through the matter from beginning to end.

and Lin Yi guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten.

Half a month ago, Peng Laosha took his disciples to Anning County, saying that he had the ability to ask for rain from the sky and could help Anning County solve the disaster of the great drought.

Jiang Ming was ecstatic, and treated Peng Laosha politely, eating, drinking, and serving, which was better than his own father.

even packed up the Wang'an Building and let Peng Laosha and his disciples stay.

Wang'an Tower is no ordinary place.

It is the most luxurious pavilion in Anning County.

Half a year ago, Jiang Ming spent a lot of money to invite skilled craftsmen to design and build this pavilion.

Before he was reluctant, he gave it to Peng Laosha, which shows his sincerity.

Peng Laosha also promised to pray for rain for Anning County, but the conditions proposed were very harsh.

In this regard, Jiang Ming discussed with him many times, but they all broke up unhappily.

Today, he went to Wang'an Tower to discuss with Peng Laosha about asking for rain, but he was fruitless and returned disappointed.

"My lord, what conditions does Peng Laosha need to be willing to ask for rain?" Lin Yi asked.

Jiang Ming sighed and stretched out five fingers, "Fifty thousand taels!"

Lin Yi gasped.

Fifty thousand taels!

This guy really dares to open his mouth!
