Chapter 96: We'll see
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
The consequences of doing something with the yamen, Peng Laosha couldn't afford it, and the Xuanling Taoist sect couldn't afford it.
There are sects in the world that can confront the imperial court, but they are by no means their Xuanling Taoist sect.
Peng Laosha gritted his teeth, his face was bruised, and he looked like he had been punched a few times.
"Stinky Taoist, I don't believe they can protect you for a lifetime, let's see!"
Putting down the cruel words, Peng Laosha threw off his robe and left, not wanting to stay longer for a moment, so as not to continue to be embarrassed.
Although the disciples were not angry in their hearts, they did not dare to mess around, so they followed one after another and left in a huff.
Waiting for the people of the Xuanling Dao Sect to go away, Jiang Ming and Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Fortunately, Peng Laosha is not a reckless man and has reason, otherwise he would have to fight to the death today, and it would be difficult to end.
Of course, Peng Laosha endured for a while, not for a lifetime.
He is very scheming, and his temperament is also revenge.
Jiang Ming and the yamen could not protect Lin Yi from time to time, and when Lin Yi returned to the Taoist temple and was alone, Peng Laosha would definitely try to take revenge and kill Lin Yi.
But if you offend, you will be offended, and Lin Yi will take it.
He is a prudent man, and he does not offend others without sinking.
Once offended, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Lord Prefectural Commander, thank you for breaking the siege. ”
Lin Yi held his hand and performed the gift of Taoism.
Jiang Ming hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to accept it, "Dao Chief is polite, you help Jiangning County to beg for Gan Lin and save tens of thousands of people from fire and water, even if I, Jiang Ming, risk my life, I have to protect Dao Chang's integrity!"
This is true and true, and there is nothing false in it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned his face with Peng Laosha just now.
"Dao Chief, please accept my three bows!"
"Thank you for asking for rain for Anning County, we must remember the great kindness of the Taoist. ”
"Come, meet the Taoist Chief!"
"The Taoist is a living bodhisattva!"
The people of the entire Anning Town knew that it was Lin Yi who begged for this rain, and they rushed over, blocked the entrance of the ya, and kowtowed to Lin Yi to thank him.
This heavy rain saved Anning County.
It is not too much to call Lin Yi a "savior bodhisattva".
To the common people, the Bodhisattva in the temple was just a stone statue that could not speak.
Those who are truly kind to them are bodhisattvas, and they should make great gifts.
"Everyone, please get up, the poor Tao is just doing your best, not a Bodhisattva, hehe, if you have a heart, you can go to the Taikoo Temple to add incense if you have time," Lin Yi did not forget to promote his Taoist temple, "The poor Tao will be greeted upside down." ”
"Where is the Taikoo Temple?"
"Yes, we've never heard of it, so please make it clear. ”
"Oh, the Poor Taikoo Temple is in Qingqiu County, a hundred ......miles away from here," Lin Yi hurriedly said the location of the Taikoo Temple.
"Don't worry, the Taoist chief, we will remember it, and we will definitely go to the shrine. ”
"Yes, the Taoist chief has great skills, and the gods of the Taoist temple must also be very effective, let's go!"
"I'll go tomorrow. ”
"I'll go too. ”
Naturally, the people were happy and enthusiastic.
It's a little far, but it's nothing.
They used to go to the Konghe River to fetch water, and they had long been used to it, and they had nothing more than taking away dozens of miles.
Before you know it, the night has come.
After the people worshiped Xie Linyi, they dispersed one after another.
The yamen gradually became peaceful.
Lin Yi was invited to the back office to enjoy the banquet arranged by Jiang Ming.
When the drought was solved, Jiang Ming was carefree, and he was very generous, inviting the best chef in the town to make thirty-six dishes and entertain Lin Yi.
Lin Yi doesn't need to be polite, let go of his appetite to eat and drink, and enjoy the wine and food with peace of mind.
One meal, two hours of eating.
The two of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps until the time of the child, and they were very drunk and fell asleep.
Next.
When I woke up, it was dawn.
Jiang Ming found Lin Yi, held a delicate box in his arms, opened it, and inside was the wooden sword, "Dao Chief, the thing will be returned to its original owner." ”
Lin Yi smiled faintly and took the wooden sword.
This sword he used as a bet on the fighting method with Peng Laosha, and now it is back in his hand, and it is really a hundred turns and a thousand turns, quite a lot of twists and turns.
"Thank you, Lord County, everything is over, and it's time for the poor Dao to return to the Taoist Temple, so I will leave. ”
Lin Yi tied the wooden sword behind his shoulder and said goodbye.
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, "Why is the Taoist chief so anxious, why don't you stay in Anning County for a few more days, I will be entertained." ”
"Lord Xie's kindness," Lin Yi smiled and declined, "Poor Dao has been away from the Taoist Temple for a long time, don't worry, you have to rush back as soon as possible, and you won't bother your adults anymore." ”
Jiang Ming wanted to keep it, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, he knew Lin Yi's temper, so he didn't say more, "Okay, I'll take someone to escort the Taoist Master back, please!"
He knew that Peng Laosha would take revenge and would never let Lin Yi go, and it was very likely that he would kill Lin Yi on the way, so he personally escorted him.
Lin Yi didn't refuse, or rather, he already had this intention in his heart.
Even if Jiang Ming didn't say it, he had this request.
It's a bit embarrassing, but it's important to have a life!
"Dao Chief, please!"
"Lord Prefectural Order, please!"
The two of them boarded the carriage one after another.
The car is an official car, with the imprint and flag of the county government on it.
There were also dozens of armed officers with swords to follow them on the left and right, escorting them throughout the process.
They didn't hide it, anyway, Peng Laosha would definitely send someone to follow, find out their whereabouts clearly, simply swaggered away from Anning Town, beat gongs and drums all the way, and pulled up the flag, proving that it was an official road, majestic and majestic.
With Jiang Ming escorting, Peng Laosha didn't dare to mess around, but just sent someone to follow him quietly, looking for Lin Yi's place to stay, and then make plans.
The wheels rolled, all the way west.
A group of officials in messenger uniforms escorted the carriage and swaggered through Anning County.
At noon, when we arrived at the border, not far ahead was the Konghe River.
Lin Yi remembered the agreement with Ah Mao, and said that he would go to Lijia Village to see Ah Mao after he was done.
Now I have to break my promise.
The reason is very simple, the hatred of Peng Laosha and the Xuanling Taoist sect is all on him, and he can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives, if he takes the risk to go to Ah Mao's house, it will bring disaster to Ah Mao.
So avoid it.
Walking to the Konghe River, Lin Yi suddenly asked Jiang Ming to stop and said that he wanted to go to the Dragon King Temple to pay respects.
Jiang Ming said: "Dao Chief, I'll go with you, and by the way, I will also pay homage to the Dragon King." ”
Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "There are some private matters to be resolved in the poor road, please wait for a while." ”
After that, he jumped out of the carriage and walked to the Dragon King Temple.
Jiang Ming was confused, didn't ask much, and sat in the car and waited.
It's noon.
The sun is blazing.
Lin Yi stepped into the Dragon King Temple and worshiped three times with incense.
"Xiaodao asked the Dragon King to show up and discuss something. ”
Repeated calls.
After a while, the dragon king statue shone brightly and suddenly came back to life.
A pair of bowl-sized dragon eyes stared directly at Lin Yi, still full of power.
is also a god, the dragon king is more domineering and oppressive than the mountain god.
"Little Taoist, I have rained down the old dragon to end the drought, what else do you have to do?"
Lin Yi raised his head, looked directly at the dragon's eye for a moment, and then had to lower his head, "Dragon King, you have rained down for Anning County, Xiaodao is here to thank you!"
"No need," the dragon king smiled, quite impatient, "The old dragon acts according to the rules, he can do whatever he has to do, you don't need to be grateful, you can go!"
