Chapter 106: Strange Event in a Small Town
Chapter 106: Strange Event in a Small Town
The sound of firecrackers marked the end of the year, and the spring breeze brought warmth to the land.
The sun cast light on everyones house. Everyone replaced the old peach wood talisman with the new one.
The spring rain fell lightly and steadily, but the air in the town was not as fresh as after the rain. The sound of firecrackers was crackling everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the streets. There were children running around in the rain, picking up dry firecrackers everywhere and trying to light them. Some of them actually went off, and the children were beaming with joy.
Its Lunar New Year
Qin Yi stood outside the town holding an oil-paper umbrella and looked at the scene of lighting firecrackers in every house from a distance. Only then did he realize that the customs of Qian Kingdom were similar to those of China. They had a Spring Festival too.
How nostalgic. I finally found something familiar in another world.
I wonder if the South Li Kingdom has this kind of festival custom
Even if there is, Li Qingjun probably doesnt have time to celebrate the New Year, right.
This was a small town in Qian Kingdom. Although it was a small town, it was quite lively, even comparable to the counties in South Li Kingdom. If it rained heavily in South Li Kingdom, no one would be seen on the streets.
He came to this town because he heard on the road that there was an immortal mountain nearby. It was said that there were immortal ruins there, so a taoist temple was built in the mountain. It was said that the abbot of the taoist temple had some enlightenment from the immortal ruins and had obtained the method of immortality. Now, he was already two hundred and fifty years old
Qin Yi wanted to mock the number two hundred and fifty (it means stupid in Chinese), but the immortal ruins and immortality method interested him very much, so he came to visit.
Thats right. If there is an immortal track, there will naturally be a taoist temple. Our Immortal Track Mountain, let alone the taoist temple, doesnt even have any tiles on the mountain, so its no wonder that not many people believe in it. But in fact, Immortal Track Mountain really has an immortal track, and the tsundere Stick Stick in the ring can prove this.
It was already dusk, and the spring rain was heavy. They were still some distance between him and the mountains, but it was hard to judge in the rain. Qin Yi planned to stay in the town for one night first.
He was currently at the archway outside the town, looking at several notices posted on the street.
One of the notices said that the well in Landlord Wangs home had dried up inexplicably, and even the smelly ditch behind the house had no water. The notice offered a bountiful reward for someone who was proficient in well surveying and dredging, etc.
Qin Yi watched in rapt attention, and many things in the past glimpsed through his mind.
When everyone looked at the notice, we felt that the Zhang Family Villa incident was most likely the act of people, but in the end, we still went there
The notice the well has dried up inexplicably, and even the ditches have no water. A wealthy family cannot find any regular factors, so they ask for help on the notice. There is indeed a high possibility that a beastkin is at work.
At the foot of the mountain known as the immortal track, beastkin is causing trouble? Qin Yi smiled.
If it were you, you would definitely go with great interest.
Ill do your share for you.
The kid picked up another firecracker, but the wet firecracker could be set off. The child wiped his nose and threw it away dejectedly.
Hey, this one must be loud.
A firecracker was handed to the kid. It looked dry and usable. The kid happily took it and looked up. He looked up and saw a big brother who was smiling amiably. But in this cold spring weather, this big brother was only wearing a thin green shirt, which made the kid who saw it feel cold.
The kid didnt think too much, lit the firecrackers, and threw it into the puddle nearby.
Bang, the mud and water splashed all over the kid.
Qin Yi laughed and said to himself, Ye Ling must like it very much. I wonder if there are any firecrackers there.
Who is Ye Ling? The wet and dirty kid asked curiously.
A kid whos almost as stupid as you.
Im not stupid. I can help my mother to do chores! The kid said unconvinced, then he asked curiously, Brother, arent you cold?
No, Im not. Qin Yi said with a smile, Little friend, where is Landlord Wangs house?
Thats our proprietor. The child whispered, My mother said that the proprietor is too blackhearted, which is why he suffered evil retribution. Brother, you better dont go
Qin Yi rubbed his head and said, And you said youre not stupid? Can you say this to a stranger? If your mother finds out, she will beat you to death.
The so-called Landlord Wang was an old bureaucrat who returned to his hometown after serving his official career. To the town, he was a big shot who was almost on the same level as the county magistrate. He owned one-third of the land in the town, and most of the townspeople were either his employees or his servants. Qin Yi stood at the door of Landlord Wang, looked at the fierce janitor, and shook his head slightly.
Im afraid I came to the wrong place.
I have been traveling for more than half a month. I originally wanted to kill the beastkins and eliminate the demons, but the strange events I saw along the way were often man-made, so I eliminated many bullies instead. The case of Landlord Wang should be evil creatures vs the bullies?
Then there is nothing for me to intervene
Just as he was about to leave, Liu Su said, Lets take a look. You havent seen anything along the way. Finally, there is a strange case. Of course we have to take a look. We can decide whether to intervene after that.
Qin Yi thought, Why do I feel like you just want to join in the fun?
Cant I have fun? The journey along the way is so boring.
Now I really wonder how you managed to spend tens of thousands of years in the mountains.
Just because I have been trapped in the mountains for so long, cant I?
Okay, fine Qin Yi had no choice but to step forward.
The servant had noticed him a long time ago. He was standing at the door like a sneaky fool, so he asked, What do you want?
Professional pipe, sewers, sewage pipes unblocking Ugh, Im here to solve your familys water well problem.
You? The servant looked at Qin Yi suspiciously. This green shirt with a handsome look. He looks like a scholar no matter what. How could he solve this?
He didnt chase Qun Yi away because he felt that his temperament wasnt like the ordinary people. But not only was he a commoner, he was a well expert?
Qin Yi smiled and said, I wont charge you any money if I cant solve your problem, so why do you care? You posted a notice, and yet you want to be picky?
The servant went in to report suspiciously. Not long after, a sad-looking butler came out. Without asking any questions, he said directly, Since you are here to fix the well, follow me quickly.
They seem to be overwhelmed by the well problem, and the master is probably on the verge of jumping into the well
Qin Yi was about to step into the door, and someone shouted from behind, Taoist Qing He is here!
The butler was overjoyed, and he walked out to receive, If Taoist can cast a spell, the problem will be solved!
Qin Yi turned around and saw a middle-aged Taoist slowly walking towards him amidst the sound of firecrackers. He was wearing an eight diagrams taoist robe with a whisk in his hand and a mahogany sword on his back. Five long beards were floating on his chest. Surrounding by the smoke of the firecrackers, he exuded the vibe of an immortal.
He indeed has some cultivation Phoenix Initiation Level 1? Or is it level 2?
Not bad still. This is the first truly cultivated taoist Qin Yi has seen since his trip to the north. The immortal mountain may indeed have some true learning.
If its a simple beastkin attack, a Phoenix Initiation Level 2 taoist should be enough.
Everyone, including the butler and the servants, surrounded the taoist, and Qin Yi was left alone at the door
Qin Yi laughed dumbly and silently followed the crowd in.
The doorkeeper servant said, Since Taoist Qing He has come, why are you, a scribe, going in?
Taoist has his spell to cast, and I have my pipe to unblock. We dont interfere with each other If there is a beautiful miss in your family, I can get to know her as well
Qin Yi responded casually, but he suddenly had an alert as if he was being watched.
He quickly turned around and saw a round figure in yellow at the corner of the street, who disappeared in a flash.
