In the lobby at this moment, in addition to Li Taigong and several domestic servants, two other women were sitting aside, wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.
The whole house was full of sad faces, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"The two distinguished guests have come from a long way, and the old man was not well received. I hope you forgive me!"
Li Taigong held a cane in his hand and bowed to them.
"My grandfather is very kind. My husband and wife travel around the world, and I am grateful to my grandfather for staying overnight. How dare you ask for too much?"
Wang Yan hurriedly bowed his head and returned the salute, as he said.
"Old Li Huaichun, didn't ask the two guests Gao's name?"
Wang Yan did not hesitate at the moment, and reported his Taoist name.
"Don't dare! Pindao Dian Qingzi, this is Pindao's wife, surnamed Xu!"
In these days, Taoists travel the world, and it is very common to be alone, but not without Taoist wives.
Li Taigong did business when he was young, and after all, he has traveled south and north, and has a lot of knowledge, so he didn't feel much novel about it.
Daoist disciples get married and marry. Except for the Quanzhen lineage, the Zhengdao line is actually very common. Even the Quanzhen lineage is not without exception, but those who have become families before becoming a monk.
Wang Yan and his wife both have their own ways of practicing, but Wang Yan's is the avenue of gold and elixir, and he pays attention to the dual cultivation of life and life. He cultivates both the inner Dao and the outer Dao.
As for Xu Yuan, according to what she said, she cultivated the way of Taiyin, mainly cultivating the true qi of Taiyin in her abdomen, which traveled through eight meridians, proving the Tao and ascending to immortality.
From ancient times to the present, there have been countless examples of couples practicing double cultivation, supporting each other, working hard for each other, and ascending to the immortal realm. It is different from the special yin and yang dual cultivation method. In fact, many people are misled by the word dual cultivation.
After listening to his introduction, Li Taigong's eyes focused on Xu Yuan at this moment, looked at her carefully, and suddenly sighed.
"Alas! The two of you shouldn't be here, especially Miss Xu."
These words left Wang Yan and Xu Yuan blank.
"I don't know where to start with Taigong's remarks?"
With a helpless expression on his face, Mrs. Li shook her head.
"Two guests, don't misunderstand, the old man has no other intentions, just because our village has been devastated recently, the old man is also a little worried, for fear that you will be affected."
When Wang Yan heard the words, he looked thoughtful.
"Old lady, your words are serious. You are willing to let me and Xianggong spend the night at the mansion. This is already a great kindness. What's the point of being involved?"
Xu Yuan also spoke at the moment, comforting him with a smile.
"That's right! By the way, Taigong, just now you said that the village suffered a catastrophe. I wonder if you can tell me about it. When I entered the village, I saw that every household was closed. Could it be that this catastrophe also caused it? "
Wang Yan agreed with his wife's words, and then asked him again.
"Hey... The two of you are just passing by, there's no need to get involved! Let's listen to the old man's words, after the two of you have rested after dinner, if you hear anything at night, please don't come out, especially Miss Xu, be sure to Remember, otherwise it will be too late to regret."
Li Taigong also didn't want them to be harmed by Chiyu, but he had already opened the door to welcome guests, so it would be better to drive them out, otherwise they should not have been taken in in the first place.
"Why is the catastrophe so serious? Please tell the grandfather bluntly. If there is an injustice, maybe my husband and wife can still help you!"
Hearing this, Wang Yan already had a vague guess in his heart.
"Yes! Old lady, we are not ordinary people. If there is any difficulty, please say it directly!"
Xu Yuan also agreed from the side, and glanced at Xianggong at the same time.
"This... do you really care?"
On Li Taigong's aged face, there was a hint of embarrassment.
Wang Yan and Xu Yuan's demeanor was firm, so that he didn't have to be too polite.
"Since that's the case, the old man can say it straight."
Li Taigong paused for a while, and then followed the whole thing and explained it.
Their village, because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has an innate geographical environment, and the crops grown can get good harvests. Originally, every family lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a very peaceful and peaceful life.
But I don't know what I have done. Not long ago, a strange person came from nowhere, claiming to be an immortal, and can bless the villagers with good weather, provided that they pay tribute to him.
It is enough to worship and pay tribute. The key point is that this offering is not ordinary. It must be a young girl. If he does not obey his wishes, he will bring disaster to the village.
At the beginning, the villagers naturally didn't believe it, and it was even more impossible to pay tribute. After all, no one would be willing to hand over their daughter as an offering to others.
However, what is terrifying is that in the next few days, not only the crops in the fields withered quickly, but even the wells also dried up, followed by an epidemic, and many villagers died of strange diseases.
At the same time, before the villagers could react, the strange man turned into a black fog and suddenly descended on the village, and threatened everyone with words, saying that this was the end of his disrespect. If this happened again, more people would die. , and then forcibly kidnapped three young girls.
Only at this moment did the villagers realize the seriousness of the matter.
Into the city reporter? Abandoned the village to escape
They couldn't get out of the village at all. The other party seemed to be watching them all the time. Once there was any movement, they could immediately detect it.
Moreover, the man was ruthless, and he took his life directly.
Revolt? Fight with him
Not to mention, that person is proficient in sorcery, and with their mortal body alone, it is difficult to resist, and they can only be manipulated by others.
In this way, to this day, there are only a handful of girls in the village who are still waiting for the word boudoir, and there are very few left.
And almost all the girls who were kidnapped could not come back.
Including Mrs. Li's family, the three granddaughters of the old Mrs. were abruptly kidnapped, and their life and death are still unknown. Even the younger daughter-in-law was not spared. At present, only the last child is left in the family. granddaughter.
That weirdo would come to the village every ten days and a half months. If you count the days, if he doesn't come today, he will definitely come tomorrow.
And this time, his last little granddaughter, I am afraid that it is impossible to protect, the two daughters-in-law just now felt sad and weeping.
When he saw Xu Yuan so young again, he remembered that that weirdo was extremely hateful and would definitely not let him go, so he was worried for her.
After listening to Li Taigong's narration, Wang Yan frowned slightly, and his face was very gloomy. He forcibly kidnapped young girls, and even hurt others. What kind of immortal is this
Beidi Pavilion
In his opinion, if this son is not a demon, he must be a demon who is proficient in magic.
At this time, Xu Yuan also had an angry look on her face, and suddenly patted the table next to her.
"It's really abominable, this person is so cruel to God, isn't he afraid of being sent by God for retribution?"
Wang Yan smiled coldly and spoke slowly.
"Evil evildoer, is there not much to do with this kind of thing? If they expect retribution, then they can basically get away with it all the time."
