Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you an early year, I wish you all a happy new year, and all the best!――

The Wood Spirit Treasure Ship is a treasure, and it is really extraordinary. In the cabin, I didn't feel the slightest shaking, and it was very stable.

Xiao Yi closed his eyes and felt the aura around him. However, Jue's spiritual energy is several times thinner than that of Tianmai Mountain, and the whole body is yang and spiritual, and there is no yin spiritual energy at all. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, without Yin Spiritual Qi, he would not be able to cultivate True Qi. After sitting quietly for a while, the situation on the edge of the cliff that day kept coming to mind that day, and his mind was restless, so he took out the half of the wooden stick from his bosom and began to practice the art of melee combat. Although the cabin is a little cramped, it can barely be opened, and it will be practiced.

At night, I heard a noise on the board. When I arrived at the boat, I realized that it was Lu and Wu who were noisily going to get off the boat for dinner. The four Taoist disciples have all reached the Bigu period, and they can go without food or sleep, and Xiao Yi can now go without eating for twenty or thirty days, but Lu and Wu are mortals*, and three meals a day are essential.

The four Daoist disciples looked obviously unhappy, thinking that because of Lu Weidao's seasickness, everyone had already slowed down half the distance, and now they had to get off the boat every day to eat, so that in three years, it would be good to be able to go through two states. In the end, everyone decided to stop the boat every three days, and Xiao, Lu, and Wu had to prepare food for three days every time they got off the boat. Lu and Wu are used to hardship on the mountain, but they have no objections, and Xiao Yi doesn't care.

In order to prevent the treasure ship from attracting attention, the seven stopped outside a small town and walked into the town. There are many people in the local area who know the Taoist robe of Chongzhen Sect, and as soon as the seven people appeared, they attracted many onlookers. There are even people who kneel down in the street and call themselves immortals. Lu and Wu were called immortals for the first time, and a sense of pride suddenly rose in the depths of their hearts, and they suddenly raised their heads and faces so high, and they couldn't help themselves.

It took a lot of effort for the seven of them to find a restaurant, and as soon as the meal came up, they saw several people hurrying in from outside the door. As soon as Xiao Yi saw his clothes, he knew that the person who came was undoubtedly the local government secretary.

After the head of the Yasi entered the door, he bowed his head and bowed, first praised the "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable", and then said in fear: "I don't know that when you have grown up in the town, you have lost your welcome, and the disciple should die!"

The Yasi is appointed by the Chongzhen Sect, which is equivalent to the lay disciples of Chongzhen, and it stands to reason that he cannot fail to receive them. Ming Ran's eyes signaled to Ming Hao, and Ming Hao understood, so he said: "Ya Si, please get up, we are just passing through the town, because we are greedy for worldly food, so we are here." ”

The Yasi is also a fat and round fat man, it is estimated that he ran in a hurry when he came, and now his face is flushed, his forehead is sweating, and he is busy saying in his mouth: "Since the immortal chief wants to taste worldly food, why not go to the Daoya." There is one of the best cooks in the town, and now he can eat whatever he wants. ”

Xiao Yi looked at Yasi's face, only felt a burst of disgust, so he turned his face away. Lu and Wu looked at the yasi, and they didn't know what they were thinking, so they forgot to eat. Ming Ran secretly used a small spell, the two of them were excited, they almost jumped up, glanced at Ming Ran, and hurried to eat.

Ming Hao was also quite patient, and dealt with the yasi until he finished eating and packed two more days' meals, so he got rid of the yasi's entanglement and left the town in a hurry.

When he arrived on the boat, Lu Weidao quietly said to Wu Lingzi: "If we can't become Chongzhen disciples, it's not bad to become this Yasi." ”

Wu Lingzi immediately said sternly: "How can you think like this? How can we cultivators, who are beyond nature, be deceived by the vanity of the floating world?"

Lu Weidao stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm just a little emotional." As soon as the treasure ship moved, Lu Weidao's face suddenly changed greatly, and he stayed quietly in the cabin, not daring to say a word.

There was nothing to say all the way, and three days later, when I got off the boat again, just like the previous town, everyone bowed down and called the gods, and the Yasi was also busy running to offer courtesy. Everyone is already surprised, and Ming Hao will deal with it alone. But after another three days, after settling in a small town, the situation changed dramatically.

This town is much smaller than the two towns above. Before noon, the streets were bustling with activity. But when the seven men entered the town, they saw that the streets were deserted, and few people walked, and even if some people passed by, when they saw them, they were afraid in their eyes and avoided them far away. And most of them were women and children, and there was not a single strong man in sight.

The seven of them all felt that something was wrong, and Ming Ran said directly: "Go to the Taoist office." ”

I came to the front of the Taoist Yamen, but when I saw that the yamen was closed, I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it. Ming Hao flew directly into the wall, and after coming out for a while, his face was gloomy, and he said: "There are only women, girls and children inside, and the people here are outside the east gate of the town, let's go over." ”

As soon as the people left the east gate, they heard shouting from time to time in front of them. Hearing the human voice, everyone's hearts were slightly wider, but when they walked further and saw the situation in front of them, they suddenly felt tight.

But seeing that a high platform with a radius of dozens of zhang was erected on the flat ground in front of him, which was nearly three zhang high, dozens of men were carrying a huge log to the platform with their bare shoulders at this time, and the shouting they heard just now was exactly what they heard. In other places, there are hundreds of strong men, and mud and walls, each performing its own duties. The most conspicuous thing is that there are many white-robed people standing around the tower, holding leather whips in their hands, and even when everyone arrived, they happened to see a person whipping the strong man with a leather whip.

Since ancient times, Yongzhou has been governed by inaction, and the people have always been honest and well-fed, and there has never been a harsh thing for the people. When everyone saw this, they were shocked and angry, and at the same time understood why the women and children in the town looked like that when they saw them.

The men in the white robes, when they found them, paused for a moment, and out of them came a bloated man. The man ran up to everyone and asked suspiciously, "Are you here to attack Tianmai Mountain?"

Without waiting for others to reply, Yuan Zhuo said angrily: "What's the matter? Could it be that there are immortals in white robes outside Tianmai Mountain?"

The man knew that he had asked the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped his mouth and said, "The immortal is angry, and the villain is clumsy." After a pause, he knelt on the ground obediently and said, "The villain is Zhou Shundao, the secretary of the town, to meet the immortal chiefs." ”

Ming Hao said coldly: "You can explain to us, why do you whip and enslave the people?"

Zhou Shundao hesitated: "This, this...... That's a long story. The immortals were tired of traveling and driving, so they still went to the Taoist office to rest first, and let the villain report slowly. ”

When everyone saw this, they knew that they couldn't ask anything now, so they had to agree.
