Chapter 4 Ranger

Four days later, Yangshan.

When the winter moon comes, the wind and snow in the north seem to be endless, with only big and small differences, and there is almost no time to stop.

On the official road in the outskirts of Yangcheng, four horses marched along the frozen turbid river to Yanjiazhuang at the foot of Yangshan Mountain.

The more Zuo Lingquan walked towards Yangshan, the more he could find the tension of the people in the prefectures and counties. Although the madness did not spread to others, every household was still closed and no outsiders were seen. There were unknown yellow paper talismans on the door. Some people were directly splashing blood, and there were no dogs barking in the fields, and there were no good dogs. This was a disaster.

When I arrived near the villa, I could no longer see the nearby villagers, and I hid from the Yan family as if I was hiding from the plague god, but there were many outsiders in Yan family village.

Zuo Lingquan walked across the avenue outside the villa and saw many Taoist priests who looked like "immortality" and sword immortals. They squatted on the side of the road to study soil, wood, sand and gravel. They were trembling in the snow and cold, and from time to time they ran back to the village to warm up their bodies.

As long as people do not show any signs of dew during practice, it is difficult for outsiders to see the exact background, but they can still see some of the approximate points from their breath and footsteps.

As for these "Immortal Masters", they all looked like Zuo Yunting. Zuo Lingquan glanced outside the Zhuangzi, and there were probably not many who could reach the sixth level of Qi training. It was not until he entered Zhuangzi that he saw some decent fellow Taoists.

Zuo Lingquan followed Yan Ge into the villa, walked through the corridor and came to the living room in the middle. He saw seven people sitting in the hall where the Yan family was entertaining guests.

Sitting in the main seat is Yan Ge's father Yan Sanjie, wearing a gorgeous robe, with a calm expression on his face. Judging from his breath, he is definitely a master in the world. If Zuo Lingquan had not seen the bad luck, after practicing his body for a few years, he could open up the Ren and Du meridians like Song Chi to enter the Tao with martial arts. He is definitely a figure in the secular world.

The six people sitting in the guest seat are different.

The first person on the right is a Taoist robe with a whisk in his hand, and he can't tell the breath. His Taoist rituals are definitely not low, and he is the only one among everyone who looks like a real master.

The one on the left is a middle-aged swordsman, with a burly figure and a stubborn appearance. His voice sounds like a thunderous sound and his tone is quite fierce. The housekeeper behind Yan Sanjie frowned.

The other four people looked a little good, but they were more humble and restrained, just drinking tea and listening without saying anything.

Zuo Lingquan thought several people were discussing crazy things, but when he approached, he found that the burly swordsman was talking:

"...I, Fan Jin, is a swordsman in Zhongzhou, and has always been fair in doing things. The money spent by the people on this mountain is worth hundreds of taels of silver based on the market price. I came from Jianhuang City thousands of miles away, and the road fee is less than three thousand taels of silver. If you take action once, no matter whether you succeed or not, it will be a loss if you don't succeed. For the sake of being a fellow villager, I don't ask the owner of Yan Zhuang, and I will give three thousand taels in advance. If the madness is not cured afterwards, I will have no shame to ask for the remaining three thousand taels. Do you think the price is reasonable?"

The first level cultivator of Linggu takes all his strength. If he emptys the true energy of his body, plus the risk of taking action, the consumption of talismans and elixirs, this price can be said to be a loss to do good deeds.

But the monk's energy sea is exhausted and he is waiting to die. The monk's mind is normal and he will not do such things. He will probably run away if he consumes two or three premonitions. Moreover, judging from the appearance of a burly swordsman, it is still a matter of not reaching Ling Valley. This way of asking for a price is tantamount to taking advantage of the situation.

The owner of the manor Yan Sanjie was not good to reply immediately. The several immortal masters present shook their heads secretly, but the Taoist in the green robe said with a smile:

"Do your business first. After the matter is completed, not to say 6,000 taels, even if it is 6,000 taels, the owner of the Yan Manor may grit his teeth and have to be grateful to Fan Jianxian. If the matter fails, it is appropriate to provide compensation based on the actual expenses. Why bother to say this in advance?"

If the butler Song Fu hadn't seen that Fan Jin had some skills, he had already beaten him out, and he hurriedly said:

"Master Yunbao is right. As long as the wind disease can be cured, my third master will give you the incense money even if he cuts his flesh..."

Fan Jin raised his hand and interrupted: "Master Yun called me a sword immortal, and he should know the style of the swordsman. He said so much, and never fooled people. After taking three thousand taels of money, even if he lost money afterwards, it would be considered that I, Fan Jin, was unlucky. I don't ask you to get an extra penny, but I don't see the money. I can't take this job..."

Not only did everyone in the hall frown, but Xie Qiutao, who was following Zuo Lingquan, secretly spat. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, they would have carried the pipa to see how hard the head of Fan Dajianxian was.

Yan Sanjie was helpless, and the whole family was in danger. Even if he didn't believe Fan Jin, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to solve the madness because of thousands of taels of silver. He was about to agree, but when the door darkened, Yan Ge and Zuo Lingquan appeared at the door.

Someone came over, and everyone in the hall naturally stopped talking and turned their heads to look.

Yan Ge bowed and said:

"Dad, I'm back. This is Zuo Lingquan, the young man Zuo, a friend I met in the capital..."

Yan Sanjie has good eyesight. It can be seen that Zuo Lingquan has a solid foundation and is a good player, but he is still young compared to his son. What is the use of bringing him back at this time?

When the guest was present, Yan Sanjie didn't say much, but just raised his hand and said;

"Happy meeting, Song Fu, arrange for Zuo Shaoxia... and two girls to go to the guest room to rest and have a good hospitality, so don't neglect a few guests."

"yes."

Song Fu nodded slightly, went out to make arrangements, and everyone in the hall closed their eyes and discussed the matter again.

Zuo Lingquan originally intended to go in and listen, but when he saw this scene, he was naturally a little helpless. However, his face was young and did not look like a master. It was reasonable to be regarded as a friend and did not care.

Yan Ge called Zuo Lingquan from afar, but he didn't even enter the living room, so he felt embarrassed and ashamed. He walked with Zuo Lingquan and shook his head and said:

"My father was so worried about the madness that he was so tired. I really had no energy. I hope Brother Zuo forgives me for the poor hospitality."

"Brother Yan is polite. You and I are the same generation. I just came here to see the situation. Is it okay to ask the owner of Yan to entertain him?

Song Fu was walking in front of the road and was also hearing the conversation between the two.

Master Yan San is very famous in the Caiyi Kingdom. When young people come over, they are either young and vigorous and unaware of the world, or they are timid and nervous.

When Song Fu saw Zuo Lingquan coming over empty-handed, he dared to bring two girls. He thought it was the slutty wanderer the young master met outside.

But Zuo Lingquan's words were elegant and easy-going, and he didn't see any youthful and frivolous appearance. He seemed to be coming to help.

The Yan family has fallen to this point, and there is a friend who sincerely helps. Whether it can help or not, it is a rare intention.

Seeing this, Song Fu slowed down and turned around and smiled;

"It made the young hero worry. The owner of the manor has been worried about madness in the past two years and cannot sleep at night, but he has been better in recent days. An immortal master has been invited to the manor. With real skills, the young masters' illnesses have improved a little..."

"Yeah?"

Yan Ge was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly: "Is it the immortal master wearing a green Taoist robe? I knew it was a true god..."

“That’s right…”

Song Fu told him about the situation that Yunbao Taoist came one day, and then said:

"...Master Yunbao said that it might be a demonic thing. As long as the root cause is removed, the madness will be completely cured. In the past few days, the owner of the manor has sent people to look for objects related to gourds everywhere in the Yangshan area, and the yamen is also helping. If it goes well, the third master's heart disease will be completely solved..."

Zuo Lingquan was naturally mostly happy when he heard this. After all, even if this trip was in vain, it would not be better than the problem.

Xie Qiutao, who was behind him, was his old job in dealing with ghosts and evil spirits. When he heard this, he wanted to see what he said, so he walked forward and walked forward:

"Old man, can you take us to see some young masters? I know some magic, maybe I can help."

The housekeeper Song Fu looked back and saw a little girl facing the fifteen or sixteen. She was similar to the daughter of the woman next to her. She spoke very sweetly and looked good, but she just didn't look like an adult.

Fearing to scare the little girl, Song Fu wanted to refuse, but Yan Ge met Zuo Lingquan in the bookstore and always felt that the three of them were extraordinary and led the way directly:

"Let's go, I'll act like you guys going to see your mother. The best way to see the reason. I can't tell that there is a Taoist Master Yunbao. As long as this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, it's better than anything else..."
