Li Daoyi, who comes from a Taoist background, goes into the mountains to look for the green ox he has raised since childhood and accidentally transmigrates to the world of The Smiling, Proud Wander...
On horseback, Yilin and Yue Lingshan rode together. The little nun's small body was embraced by Yue Lingshan, which looked quite amusing.
"Senior Sister Yue, don't scare me! How could there be ghosts in this world?" Yi Lin said timidly, her voice trembling. On the way, Yue Lingshan told Yi Lin about what had happened in the village, which immediately made Yi Lin tremble all over. If it weren't daytime, she probably would have trembled even more.
"Hehe, don't you believe me? My father, my senior brother, we all saw it with our own eyes. That white-clad female ghost's face was deathly green, a truly ghastly green, and she was sticking out her long tongue..."
"Ah..." Yilin suddenly covered her ears and screamed.
"Phew..."
The group couldn't help but stop their horses.
"Uh...I..." Yue Lingshan was immediately embarrassed.
"Shan'er, if you continue to scare people like this, I will have to punish you according to family rules," Yue Buqun said angrily.
Yilin turned around and hugged Yue Lingshan tightly, her body trembling, showing that she had indeed been frightened.
"Moo..."
At this moment, the green ox called out, and Yilin, who was still afraid, suddenly felt at ease, just like her masters and uncles chanting scriptures in the sect, which made her feel very calm.
Yilin timidly raised her head and looked at Li Daoyi.
"Let's go, getting on the road is the priority." Li Daoyi smiled slightly.
This little incident passed quickly, and Yue Lingshan didn't dare to mention anything else. The journey went very smoothly.
Hengshan City, as its name suggests, is named after Mount Heng and is also the headquarters of the Hengshan Sect. Here, you can ignore the imperial court, but you must never ignore Hengshan. Liu Zhengfeng is a master of the Hengshan Sect stationed in Hengshan City. He is a first-class master at the mid-stage and his strength is slightly higher than Yue Buqun. He is the second master of Hengshan, second only to Mr. Mo Da of Xiaoxiang Night Rain.
"This is Hengshan City! It's so much bigger than our Huayin County!" Yue Lingshan exclaimed, her eyes wide as she looked at the majestic city gate.
"Tch, it's not as big as Fuzhou." Lin Pingzhi said somewhat unconvinced.
After days of travel, the group finally arrived at their destination, Hengshan City.
"There are quite a few martial arts practitioners here. It seems that joining in the fun is the same in any world," Li Daoyi thought, watching the martial arts figures entering and leaving the city gate.
"With so many people, wouldn't it be a waste not to take advantage of the situation?" he then thought mischievously.
"System, open the panel."
"Whoosh..."
A panel that only he could see popped up.
Name: Li Daoyi
"Cultivation level: Qi Refining Stage 10. (Two more Qi Refining Pills were used along the way.)"
"Techniques: Minor Five Elements Spells, Minor Cloud Soaring Techniques."
"Magic weapons: Green Steel Sword, Soul-Guiding Talisman."
Pet: Green Ox (spirit beast)
"Amazing Value/Points: 300"
"Alas, the task is arduous and the road ahead is long. The Foundation Establishment Pill is worth 10,000 points!" Li Daoyi sighed. A few days ago, he pulled a trick and got 500 points from Yue Buqun and the Huashan disciples. He exchanged them for two pills, leaving him with only 300 points.
"Master Daoist, Master Daoist!" Yue Buqun called out repeatedly.
Li Daoyi then closed the panel.
"Taoist Master, it's our turn. Let's go."
"Okay." He then patted Niu Er lightly and followed the others into the city.
"It's the Huashan Sect."
"That's Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Sword."
"Look, that man is actually riding a bull, a really big bull."
"He looks like a Taoist priest."
This group naturally attracted the attention of those around them, and their identity as members of the Huashan Sect was quickly recognized.
“Senior brother, I think it’s getting late. Why don’t we find a place to stay first and visit Senior Brother Liu tomorrow morning?” Ning Zhongze said.
Yue Buqun then looked at Li Daoyi.
"Taoist Master, look."
"Let's find a place to stay first. There are so many of us, it'll be troublesome if we go too late," Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Yilin, you should come with us. I'll have someone inquire about your master and the others' whereabouts later," Ning Zhongze said to Yilin.
"Okay, thank you, Senior Ning." The little girl nodded obediently.
Li Daoyi looked at Yilin thoughtfully. He was very curious whether the Swordsman in this world was a new version. If so, then Dongfang Bubai was a woman, that is, Yilin's sister. Of course, it was also possible that it was the original version, and Dongfang Bubai was a man who had castrated himself.
"Taoist Master, why are you looking at me like that?" Yilin blushed.
"Ah, it's nothing. Yilin, were you adopted by your master when you were little?" Li Daoyi took the opportunity to inquire about Yilin's identity.
The little girl was taken aback, not understanding why the other person was suddenly curious about her background, but she still obediently nodded.
"Yes, I was adopted by my master when I was three years old."
Do you still remember your secular name?
Upon hearing this, Yilin's eyes suddenly turned red.
She seemed reluctant to talk about the past, so she lowered her head and answered in a whisper.
"I only remember that my surname is Dongfang."
Li Daoyi's eyes lit up immediately, and he thought to himself that it was indeed the new version, Dongfang Lin, Dongfang Bai's sister, also known as Dongfang Bubai.
Li Dao nodded and didn't press further. He had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Yuelai Inn.
After asking around at many guesthouses, the group finally found a place big enough for nearly twenty people.
"Wait a moment, put your luggage away. Those of you who want to go sightseeing can go together, but remember not to come back too late and don't cause any trouble," Yue Buqun said to his disciples. The journey had been very tiring, and he hoped everyone could relax a bit.
"Yay, that's great!" the disciples cheered.
"Shan'er, Pingzhi, you two stay with your senior brother and make sure he doesn't drink alcohol," Yue Buqun said to Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong felt embarrassed; he realized his little scheme had been seen through.
"Hehe, okay."
Yue Lingshan said with a smile.
News of the Huashan Sect's arrival spread quickly. In an inn, a man dressed as a Taoist priest was listening to his disciple's report.
“Master, I’m not mistaken, that pretty boy is Lin Pingzhi. That bastard is actually hanging around with Huashan.”
The Taoist was none other than Yu Canghai, with a thin, pointed face and a small mustache, making him look extremely sinister.
“Mount Hua, Yue Buqun,” Yu Canghai murmured.
"Is there another Taoist priest?"
"Yes, riding a big blue ox." The disciple nodded quickly.
Yu Canghai's cheek twitched involuntarily, then he gently covered his right hand, which was still a little sore and numb.
"What a terrifying person! He broke my sword, and the recoil even injured me. When did such a master appear in the martial world?" Yu Canghai thought to himself.
The man in black that night was him.
"bite…"
"Congratulations, host, you have gained 100 Amazing Points from Yu Canghai."
Inside the inn, a system notification suddenly sounded in Li Daoyi's mind, causing him to freeze in shock.
"Hey... what's going on? I didn't do anything. What's Lao Yu doing?" Li Daoyi was a little confused.
Even at night, Hengshan City was still bustling with people. People did not give up their entertainment because of the darkness. The streets were full of lanterns, and the entrance of a red building called "Like Water Flowing Years" was particularly crowded.
Linghu Chong and his two companions also joined in the fun and squeezed to the doorway.
As she got closer, Yue Lingshan realized that she was in a brothel.
"Senior Brother, if you dare to go in, I'll go back and tell Father," Yue Lingshan said coquettishly, hands on her hips.
"Just look, don't make a fuss, there are so many people here," Linghu Chong quickly whispered, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Hahaha..." Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but laugh. His senior brother usually had such a dashing appearance, but he never expected to be repeatedly humiliated in front of his junior sister.
"What are you laughing at, you brat?" Linghu Chong, annoyed and embarrassed, smacked Lin Pingzhi on the head hard.
Just then, a beautiful piano melody drifted from inside the building.
The crowd immediately erupted into chaos.
"She's here, she's here, Miss Dongfang is about to come out!" someone exclaimed excitedly.
