Chapter 76
After leaving Pingliang County, Fu traveled northward for more than an hour.

Chen Yuan was sitting in the carriage, and through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, he could see the farmland connected by the rice paddies on both sides of the road, one after another, extending to the foot of the mountains on both sides.

The time has entered May, and now it is the time for farming. You can see that the fields are full of people who are bending over and working with their trouser legs.

The fields are emerald green, and most of the crops are millet and millet.

Rice is rarely seen here, because rice needs sufficient water to grow.

Therefore, in addition to a small amount of good land with fertile land and sufficient water sources, ordinary fields lacking water are more suitable for planting millet and millet.

Soon the carriage arrived, in front of a huge manor.

After stopping the carriage and asking Chen Yuan to get off, the two servants respectfully said to Chen Yuan:
"Daoist, please come with us, our master is already waiting for you."

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead."

While speaking, Chen Yuan looked at the manor in front of him, and saw that the gate of the manor was actually painted with rich doors. In addition to the main gate, there were side doors on the left and right sides.

In addition, the wall connecting the main entrance of the manor can't be seen from the left and right, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance. One can imagine how grand the scale of this manor is.

"It seems that Li Yuan's family is not an ordinary family."

Chen Yuan said in his heart.

Guided by one of his servants, he walked into the manor through the opened main gate of the manor.

After entering, Chen Yuan discovered that there are countless houses, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions in this manor. The long corridor connecting the courtyard makes one feel like being in a maze.

"Master Daoist, the old man of our Li family used to be the Minister of Rites of the imperial court. After he retired and returned to his hometown, he brought his wealth back home to buy land and real estate, and built this house."

The servant explained to Chen Yuan.

"I see."

Chen Yuan nodded.

This should be the so-called big family.

Because the ancestors had famous and high-ranking officials, they were unwilling to live in the city, so they built a large manor like this in the countryside, and the manor probably also supported strong military masters who had weapons and looked after the manor.

In the local area, it is considered a powerful party, and even the local magistrate may have to respect him three points.

Soon, the servant brought Chen Yuan to a house.

"Please come in, Taoist priest, our master is already waiting for you inside."

The servants stopped at the door.

Chen Yuan nodded and walked in.

After entering, Chen Yuan discovered that in the large hall, sitting on the main seat was a man in his fifties, wearing brown luxurious clothes and a cap, with a medium build, thin cheeks, dark circles around his eyes, pale complexion, and looking energetic. Not a very good old man.

Sitting in the guest seat, a fan monk with a strange appearance, dark skin, double rings on his ears, a yellow cloth, curly hair and beard, who appeared to be in his 30s, was talking with him.

"Chen Daochang, you are here!"

Seeing Chen Yuan walking in from the door, the old man immediately stood up from the main seat and greeted Chen Yuan very warmly.

"The Taoist name Qingming is poor, just call me by the Taoist name."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"Daoist Qingming, please sit down quickly, the servants should have already told the Taoist priest, this matter will trouble the two masters!"

Li Yuanwai invited Chen Yuan to sit down and said.

"Since Yuanwai has already invited someone else to get rid of the demon, why invite the poor Taoist?"

After Chen Yuan sat down, he looked to the side, the strange-looking fan monk said.

From this foreign monk, he felt the aura of fellow practitioners.

"Daoist Qingming, this master's name is Shi Moteng, he is a divine monk from the west, and he is temporarily living in Jinguang Temple to practice."

"The reason why I invited the two masters together was really helpless. The monster is so powerful that ordinary people can't deal with it. I was really afraid that if I invited a master to come, it would not be the opponent of the monster, and the old man's daughter would die for nothing, so So I invited two masters who are well-known in Pingliang County to come here together, and please forgive me."

Li Yuanwai said with a bitter expression.

He just wants to save his daughter's life now.

"This monk doesn't mind."

"This fellow Taoist, I don't think he would mind, after all, we are also considered the same way."

"As for who can subdue the monster and get the reward Li Yuanwai promised, it depends on the abilities of you and me."

Who knew that the monk smiled beside him and spoke fluent Dayong official dialect.

Seeing what Fan Seng said, Chen Yuan didn't say any more.

He was slightly surprised that this monk could speak such fluent Dayong official dialect, it seemed that he had been in Dayong for a long time.

In addition, he remembered that the magistrate of Pingliang seemed to have said that when there was a bandit incident between Pingliang County and Mengliang Town, he begged this monk named Shi Moteng who practiced in Jinguang Temple, but the other party opened his mouth like a lion and opened his mouth. The sky-high price of a thousand gold.

It's just that I don't know what kind of price Li Yuanwai was able to invite this monk.

"Daozhang and master, can you go to the attic where the old daughter lives?"

Li Yuanwai asked from the side.

"No need, Pindao just needs to stay outside the attic where Li Yuanwai's daughter lives at night."

Chen Yuan shook his head and refused.

From what the servant said, the young lady of their family has been scarred and scarred by the monsters, and she is probably recovering from her injuries, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see people.

It's useless for outsiders like them to go, and it will cause embarrassment.

"I don't need it either."

Fan monk Shi Moteng also refused with a smile.

In this way, he waited until night, and the night covered the sky and the earth.

During this period, Li Yuan hosted a banquet with meals for Chen Yuan and Fan Seng, but because he wanted to get rid of demons at night, he didn't persuade them to drink.

At night, the whole manor was put on guard. Not only did many court guards with bows and arrows appear to patrol the manor, even many servant girls took up spears and swords in their hands.

And Chen Yuan and the monk Shi Moteng came to the attic where Li Yuanwai's daughter lived.

Shi Moteng sat cross-legged directly, in the middle of the courtyard at the entrance of the attic.

Chen Yuan was as light as a swallow and like a bird, and flew to the roof of the corridor with his toes, and then, after borrowing his strength again, he suddenly turned around and flew to the roof of the three-story attic.

Negative Sword went to the roof of the attic, between the two cornices and ridges, sat cross-legged, and patiently waited for the monster to arrive.

The ridge of the roof covered his entire figure, and if one didn't look carefully, one would not be able to spot a Taoist sitting cross-legged on the roof of the attic.

Chen Yuan once asked his master, Lu Yan, that abilities such as flying with a sword do exist in this world.

But that is an ability that can only be mastered by practitioners who are truly close to becoming immortals.

Ordinary practitioners who practice the method of sword immortality can be regarded as a master if they have cultivated the "Feiteng Milu" like him and their body is as light as a swallow.

Seeing Chen Yuan go straight up to the roof of the [-]-zhang-high attic, sitting cross-legged in the yard below, and Li Yuanwai, who was hiding in the dark and observing, were a little surprised.

Shi Moteng looked at Chen Yuan with a serious expression.

But Li Yuanwai was secretly happy, it seems that he did not invite the wrong person.

At noon in the middle of the night, half a bright moon in the night sky was being blocked by a passing cloud, and when the sky and the earth were plunged into darkness, a figure dressed as a young man lightly jumped over the wall and fell into the yard where the attic was located. Just as he was about to walk to the attic, he immediately saw the fan monk Shi Moteng sitting cross-legged in the courtyard and looking at him.

"How courageous, you dare to find an expert to deal with this young master?"

After the young man was stunned for a moment, he realized that his eyes were full of anger.

Then...

Turn around and run away!
