Chapter 145: Each with Their Own Agenda
Wu Yan was also delighted and said: "That's very good."
"Yun Hezi, you go ahead and make some arrangements. Pindao and fellow Taoist Mo will come later." Taoist Duomu gave Yun Hezi a wink and ordered.
Yun Hezi agreed, then took out his banana fan magical weapon, threw it into the air, and turned it into a size of two feet. He raised his foot and stepped on it, and then flew quickly towards Yunzhou City.
The old Taoist Duomu controlled the boat-shaped magic weapon to fly slowly and slowly, and then called to Wu Yan: "Fellow Taoist Mo, please come!"
Wu Yan saw that the multi-eyed old man was quite cautious. Although he invited himself to Yunzhou City for a talk, he did not invite himself to board his ship-shaped magic weapon. It seems that the plan to save the family here will not work. But since we are going to Yunzhou City, it is naturally much more convenient to do things on the ground than in the air, and it is not easy to harm the safety of our family members. This is the best.
Wu Yan smiled, and Yu Jian followed Duomu Laodao's boat-shaped magic weapon without any speed, heading towards Yunzhou City.
Arriving outside Yunzhou City, Wu Yan and Duomu Laodao landed their imperial weapons one after another. Yun Hezi was really smart. In such a short time, he had already arranged a resting place, and also hired a rather luxurious and spacious carriage, along with a large ox cart for pulling goods, in Yunzhou City. Waiting outside the city gate.
Old Taoist Duomu put the Wu family on the ox cart. Yun Hezi also got on the ox cart very obediently, as if he was specially guarding the Wu family. At this time, the Wu family had woken up one after another. The woman and the child rolled together stiffly, and were blocked by Wu Shan and a tall and thin scholar. Lu Xuanyu was next to Father Wu. Because his body was restrained by the wind binding technique, he could not move, so he could only use his shoulders to resist. Father Wu was coughing, so he would not feel uncomfortable lying on the cold and hard car floor.
After Father Wu woke up, he kept coughing, causing chaos on the bullock cart. The women and children began to cry, anxiously wanting to see how the old man Wu was doing, but they were too stiff to move. But Wu Shan widened his eyes and yelled at Yun Hezi fiercely: "What do you want? You are all immortal cultivators. If you really have enmity with my Wu family, you should go to my elder brother to avenge me, or kill me. Yes, why do you want to embarrass the elderly, women and children? Are you worthy of cultivating immortality?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" After scolding Wu Shan, he stiffened his neck and wanted to turn around and look at Father Wu. Fortunately, Lu Xuanyu used his shoulder to support Father Wu before, so that his body was resting on him. At this time, Father Wu finally took a breath and his coughing gradually stopped.
Father Wu, who came back to his senses, was also unable to move. Just to comfort everyone, he gasped and said: "It doesn't matter, old, old problem. Where is this?"
"Old man, this is Yunzhou City." Lu Xuanyu whispered to Father Wu.
"Hey, be honest! If you dare to yell again, be careful. I will burn these useless women and children first! Huh, anyway, as long as this old man and you are here, they will still be useful!" Yun Hezi Impatiently, he rapped the bullock cart hard with the driver's whip and threatened.
Wu Yan casually walked to the side of the bullock cart and stood next to Yun Hezi, with an indifferent look on his face. The old Taoist Duomu who was about to invite him to get on the cart also followed him, looked at Wu Yan in confusion and smiled. : "Fellow Daoist Mo, let's ride in the same car so we can chat and get close together. What do these mortals do?"
"Fellow Taoist Duomu, to be honest, I am very curious. What are you arresting these mortals for? It seems that most of them are women, children, old and weak people. Although these two people have some skills, they are insignificant among ordinary people. It’s just martial arts, but it’s a bit confusing for me,” Wu Yan asked pretending to be confused, his voice still ringing with anger.
However, at this time, Father Wu and Mrs. Wu in the car trembled at the same time. Because their faces were covered by Wu Shan and the tall and thin scholar, no one except Wu Yan could notice.
"Haha, Senior Mo, let's go to the place arranged by this junior to rest first. How about this junior explaining this to you later?" Yun Hezi said with a smile and cupped his hands in a polite manner.
The face of the old Taoist Duomu was already a little unhappy, but he still forced a smile and said: "Yes, fellow Taoist Mo, these are just grievances between some juniors, and I do it casually. Don't you want to visit a friend? Let's go. Let’s go talk in detail in the carriage.”
This is the gate of Yunzhou City, and it is almost noon again. There are many people coming and going, and many people are curiously standing not far away and pointing, looking quite curious.
Wu Yan seemed unable to see the displeasure on the face of the old Taoist Duomu and the embarrassment on Yun Hezi's face. He looked past the carriage and ox cart, glanced at the crowd in the distance, and found that several figures had quietly slipped through the crowd. He slipped away and quickly ran towards the city. Seeing that those people were quite skilled at their feet, Wu Yan glanced at Wu Shan and Lu Xuanyu with an expression on his face.
Sure enough, there was a hint of joy in the expressions of these two people, and they seemed to have noticed the few people who had just slipped away. It seems that in the past few years since I left, Xiaoshan and Lu Xuanyu have been running to Yunzhou City frequently. Those people must be from the Iron-Blooded Alliance. They knew them. It was time to go to the city to report the news to Zhang Tao.
Wu Yan originally wanted to take action here, but after seeing those figures, he gave up the idea.
"Haha, I'm just curious for a moment. Since it's not convenient for you two to talk, let's go." Wu Yan looked up to the sky and said haha, then gave Yun Hezi a meaningful look and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. He seemed to have something to say to him.
Yun Hezi was stunned at first and wanted to move aside, but he was a little afraid. In this moment of hesitation, Wu Yan's hand had already patted his shoulder. Yun Hezi's body tensed up at first, like a frightened rabbit, and when he felt that Wu Yan did not use force on his hand, but just patted him, he relaxed again.
Wu Yan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Yun, why are you so nervous? Haha, I just want to remind you that these people are just mortals. We cultivators value cause and effect. In terms of merit, mortals have heavy karma, so we should avoid getting involved in things that are equivalent to damaging our own cause and effect. Fellow Daoist Duomu, let's go."
Yun Hezi's face turned pale when he heard this, but Wu Yan ignored him and turned around to follow Duomu Laodao to get on the carriage in front. Seeing the two people get on the carriage, Yun Hezi had to get on the shaft of the ox cart in a bad mood and urged the driver to follow the carriage and go to the city together.
The driver of the carriage seemed to have received Yun Hezi's instructions, and he was familiar with the road. In a short while, he drove the carriage to the gate of a wealthy family in the city with a plaque of "Yun Mansion".
The servant in front of the gate of the wealthy family seemed to have received instructions as well. When he saw Yun Hezi on the ox cart behind, he was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully bowed and opened the gate of the manor to make way for the carriage.
Wu Yan sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw the carriage enter the large manor called "Yun Mansion". Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.
The old Taoist with many eyes looked into Wu Yan's expression, stroked his beard and smiled, "This manor is the property of the Yun family in the secular world. Anyway, it's just a resting place. There are many people in the restaurant, and it's better to be comfortable in the manor of such a wealthy family. Fellow Daoist Mo, we are acquainted. Why do you still wear a black scarf and don't show your true face to others?"
He finally had doubts and couldn't help asking. Wu Yan sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said calmly: "I think Daoist Duomu has already seen my true appearance, so why ask?"
"This... Haha, I am too nosy." Daoist Duomu was stunned, and then smiled awkwardly.
"Don't blame me, Daoist Master, you have seen it. Although I look ordinary and I am very young, I am already in the middle stage of foundation building. Those low-level cultivators who don't know the truth often like to pester me, hoping to worship me as their master. I am overwhelmed by their troubles, so I have no choice but to do this." Wu Yan explained calmly.
"Oh, that's how it is. I'm also very curious. Judging from your face and your body, you are indeed very young, but I don't know how old you are this year?"
"Excuse me, since you asked, I can't lie, but I hope you can keep it a secret. To be honest, I'm just 25 this year, hehe." Wu Yan smiled awkwardly, with a proud and complacent look on his face, as if he was a stupid boy who only knew how to practice and had no experience.
In fact, his performance did give the old Taoist Duomu this illusion.
The old Taoist Duomu's eyes flickered, and suddenly exclaimed: "Genius, you are really a genius! I have been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years, and this is the first time I have seen an immortal cultivator like you who is already in the middle stage of foundation building at the age of less than 30! I admire you, I admire you!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Wu Yan looked quite pleased, and waved his hands complacently and said modestly.
Taoist Duomu sneered secretly. He was young after all. Hehe, "By the way, a cultivator with such outstanding talent like you must be a true disciple from a big sect, right? I wonder which sect of the seven major immortal sects of the Great Zhou is Taoist Mo from?"
"This? Haha, Taoist Duomu, before I left, my master repeatedly warned me that I was going out to travel and gain knowledge. In order to avoid the suspicion of relying on my master, my master did not allow me to disclose information about my master at will. Sorry, sorry." Wu Yan smiled awkwardly, but his eyes revealed a trace of undisguised disdain, as if telling Taoist Duomu that I am a disciple of a big sect, and you, a mere casual cultivator, want to know my sect. You are really overestimating yourself.
This expression fell into the eyes of the Taoist with many eyes. Not only did the Taoist not get angry, but he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "I see, haha, I am sorry for being so rude. Hey, it seems that we have arrived, Taoist Mo, please!" As he said that, the Taoist with many eyes personally opened the door of the carriage for Wu Yan and asked him to get off first.
Wu Yan smiled proudly, stepped out of the door without any hesitation, and walked down. Behind him, in the carriage that he could not see, the Taoist with many eyes smiled coldly and followed him to get off the carriage.
