Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 176 Taoist Priest Liu leads the team...

Facing Yang Chao's complaints, Yihuo said as a matter of course: "I am a rough man."

The old patriarch, who had been silent all this time, turned around and left silently.

As for Liangshan, you can recite poetry if you want, but why do you have to recite it into this old man's heart?

Fortunately, the old man is not well educated, otherwise he would have burst into tears on the spot, and how embarrassing it would have been.

The dim light faded, the family disappeared, sparks fell from the sky, dust returned to dust, and white clouds flew away.

"Everyone, wake up and be alert to the surroundings." Yijiu exhaled and shouted loudly.

"Yes." The soldiers and civilians took the order, calmed down and became alert. What happened just now was so sad.

In the pavilion on the rock peak, Yifeng, who had been writing furiously, carefully put away his treasure of calligraphy, secretly praising in his heart: "The poem written by Liangshan is so touching."

The old clan leader came over and saw this scene. He said calmly: "Take some time to explain it to Zhongxiao Liangquan and the others and see if you can enlighten them."

"That makes sense." Yifeng agreed, looking up at the human-faced owl and the black eagle patrolling in the sky, then turned to Shang Liangshan who was floating down and asked, "Liangshan, have you named them yet?"

"No." Shang Liangshan shook his head, walked to the table and sat down, thought for a moment and said, "How about calling the human-faced owl Black One and the black eagle Black Two?"

"No, I think the human-faced owl is called Heituan and the black eagle is called Heidan, which sounds better." said Yihuo who came hurriedly.

"Go away. The old man thinks it sounds better to call the human-faced owl the night owl and the black hawk the nighthawk." The old patriarch said, stroking his beard.

"Why not call them Ye Yi and Ying Yi? This way, when Liangshan conquers monsters again in the future, we will be able to count them." It's a good idea to prepare for a rainy day.

"That makes sense." The old patriarch and Yihuo nodded in agreement.

"Then let's call him Ye Yi, Ying Yi." Shang Liangshan said indifferently.

The name is just a code name, no need to take it too seriously.

Liu Yu, who had been traveling with Yihuo, twitched his lips when he heard these two names. You guys are too casual in naming them.

Perhaps it was the sadness of the family trip that allowed him to spend a peaceful night in the Forgotten Land.

The work goes on as usual, and the soldiers and civilians are forgotten, thinking that life is going on as usual.

A black boat appeared on the river, attracting the attention of the military and civilians.

Looking out, you can see the Xuan flag flying high on the boat's mast.

Discussions suddenly arose, as the arrival of Xuanxu Sect at this time was really unexpected.

As expected, the sound of horse hooves was heard. It was the patrolman riding a horse to deliver the report.

On the deck of the Wu ship, Taoist Master Liu looked at the farmers busy in the fields, turned around and said to the nearly twenty disciples: "This is the hometown of your Uncle Wei Mo and Uncle Wei Hu, Forgotten Township."

"When you meet the villagers later, you must be respectful and friendly. Do you understand?"

"Understood." All the disciples responded in unison.

Uncle Master Wei Mo and Uncle Master Wei Hu, not to mention their current status, they are people they cannot afford to offend, and in the future they will be people they need to look up to. If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will definitely be high-ranking officials of Xuanxu Sect.

As this was the hometown of such a great figure, these disciples would not dare to act rashly even without Taoist Master Liu's reminder.

Taoist Priest Liu nodded in satisfaction and said to his beloved disciple, "Taozi, please emphasize the precautions to your fellow apprentices."

"I will follow your orders, Master." Liu Taozi clasped his fists and respectfully accepted the order. Then he emphasized the precautions to his fellow disciples.

There were no female disciples among the disciples that Liu Weizi led for training this time. The reason for this was due to the incident in Jufeng City.

"Master Liu, where are you from? Isn't there a war in Jufeng City?" an old farmer asked curiously.

"Brother, we came here by taking a detour. The fighting in Jufeng City was very fierce, so I had no choice but to bring my disciples to your hometown for refuge." Taoist Priest Liu responded kindly.

"Look at what you said. It is our honor that you can come to the Forgotten Land. Now that you are here, we can sleep well without worrying about ghost attacks."

"Haha, brother, you think too highly of us. We are here to take advantage of the Seventh Elder of your village."

"Master Liu, you are too polite."

The black boat sailed along the way, and people kept greeting each other.

When Taoist Priest Liu, who was in charge of the remains collected during the day, and his disciples came forward with the report from the patrol, he was stunned and felt the confusion of an old farmer.

Although he was puzzled, he still had to go to greet them, so he rode his horse to the dock.

Not long after, Yitu welcomed the black boat to the shore and explained to Liu Weizi who got off the boat that the clan leader, Yifeng and the others were tired from their night duty and were resting, so they were unable to greet them. So they started to communicate with Taoist Liu who expressed his understanding.

"Haha, Brother Tao, welcome, welcome." Yishe greeted Liu Taozi who got off the boat with a hug.

"Haha, it's a good thing you didn't call me Liu Daotu, which is such an unfamiliar name, otherwise I would be angry with you." Liu Taozi said happily.

"Hehe, what Brother Tao said is right." Yishe said as he pulled Liu Taozi aside and asked about the situation of Yiying and the others.

The other guards stepped forward to help carry the luggage, which made Xuanxu Yu's disciples feel the overwhelming enthusiasm.

It was not until the afternoon that the old patriarch and Yifeng learned that Liu Weizi had led a team and that a reception was necessary.

In the pavilion of the temple courtyard, the old patriarch and Yifeng were eating and drinking, listening to Taoist Liu describing the situation in the outside world.

Taoist Priest Liu drank a glass of wine and said, "In general, although the Hunter Alliance took precautions, they greatly underestimated the attack of the Demon and Ghost Alliance."

"This led to the defense line being breached when facing attacks from ghosts, evil spirits, corpses, and monsters. Nearly 300,000 soldiers suffered heavy casualties, creating the risk of the disaster in Jufeng City spilling over."

"And Jufeng City has become an isolated city. Fortunately, with King Wu in charge, the city is not in danger of being destroyed for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Yi Feng asked curiously, "Did King Wu enter Jufeng City by killing his way into it?"

"No, we entered Jufeng City through the teleportation array." Liu Yu shook his head and said, "The Hunter Alliance has a martial king, and the monster army also has a monster king. Both sides maintain a tacit understanding and will not intervene in the fierce battle between the two sides unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"In other words, fighting for life and death is the next step." The old patriarch went straight to the point.

"Although this may hurt your heart, it is the truth. It has made me suffer a lot. Not only have I had to face attacks from ghosts along the way, but I also have nowhere to rest. I can only stay on the boat, away from the battlefield, and seek refuge in your hometown."

"What's the situation in other villages?" Yifeng asked.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I guess it's better to hope for the best. It's more likely to be bad than good."

"Let's not talk about these annoying things, let's have a drink." The old patriarch raised his glass and invited.

"Cheers!" Liu Yu raised his glass to greet him.

In the Xuan Courtyard, Yishe raised his cup and said loudly: "Brothers from Xuanxu Sect, we are brothers now. Let's drink this cup."

"Cheers!" All the disciples of Xuanxu Sect raised their glasses to welcome him.

"Ah." Liu Taozi drank the whole drink in one gulp and said to Yishe contentedly, "Brother, you don't know that we haven't had a good meal in the past half month, let alone drinking."

"Yes." Voices of agreement arose, and the disciples of Xuanxu Sect began to recount their experiences in the past period of time.
