What Jiang Xianya didn't know was that the county jail was not peaceful at this time.
The captured evil cultivator attempted to escape, and the Taoist priests nearly failed to keep an eye on him. Several of the cells were even broken down. It wasn't until Magistrate Huang remembered the talisman sent by Ye Xianwen that he quickly had it given to the Taoist priests, thus stabilizing the situation.
"You Taoist priests have worked hard. I have already sent someone to the prefectural city overnight to report this matter to the prefect. Please send someone to help us. After that evil cultivator is dealt with tomorrow, you Taoist priests can return to the mountain." Magistrate Huang cupped his hands to the Taoist priests and said with a smile.
The Taoist temples in the prefectural city are larger than those outside the county town, and the Taoist priests inside are more powerful.
People strive for higher positions, while water flows downhill.
In the Great Yan Dynasty, besides the Taiyi Sect, the most powerful Taoist priests were in the capital.
The ones in the prefectural city are better than those in the county town.
Once the Taoist priests from the prefectural city arrive, everyone's pressure will be greatly reduced.
"My lord, who gave you these talismans?" The leading Taoist priest cupped his hands and asked with a solemn expression.
He was a Taoist priest at Yunshan Temple outside the county town, and the chief disciple of the temple's abbot. He was known as Master Yuanyang.
“It’s that Miss Jiang.” Magistrate Huang became somewhat excited when he mentioned Jiang Xianya.
Don't let her young age fool you, she's quite capable.
If she hadn't figured out the murderer's location, even if he had ten or eight years, he might not have been able to bring the murderer to justice.
If it weren't for the talismans sent by Jiang Xianya, these Taoist priests would have had to expend a great deal of effort to trap this evil cultivator.
"Does the Taoist priest know which Taoist temple that Miss Jiang comes from, and who her master is?" Master Yuanyang asked hurriedly.
They've never seen such skill before.
However, since they came from a small Taoist temple outside the county town, their knowledge was quite limited.
Yunshan Temple has ten Taoist priests. The abbot leads nine disciples in their practice. They usually focus on quiet cultivation, but occasionally they will go down the mountain to help the county government with some difficult matters, as well as help the people with their illnesses and exorcise evil spirits, for a maximum of a few days each month.
The farthest place they had ever been was the prefectural city.
Although Yuan Yang had witnessed the power of those Taoist priests in the prefectural city.
However, cultivators like Jiang Xianya are usually only found in the legendary Taiyi Sect, and they had never seen one before.
"I don't know the answer to that," Magistrate Huang said with a smile. "However... I asked the Ye family before, and they said that Miss Jiang grew up in Qingya Village. The past two days were the first time she left Qingya Village. Before that, she had never been in contact with any cultivators. The reason why Miss Jiang has such great abilities is because she was seriously injured a few days ago, escaped death, and was enlightened by an immortal, which is why she learned many profound mystical arts."
The four Yuanyang brothers looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
If an ordinary person heard such words, nine times out of ten they would think that others were fooling them. But they are Taoists, people who cultivate themselves, and they know that there are many things in this world that cannot be viewed with common sense.
There may be no more immortals in this world, but the mystical masters of the Taiyi Sect have cultivated to an extraordinary level, and are only one step away from attaining immortality.
Such a person could traverse the entire Great Yan Dynasty in just a few days. Their soul power was incredibly strong, allowing them to see everything within a radius of several miles. In the eyes of ordinary people, that was a skill only gods possessed.
Perhaps this Miss Jiang was saved by a mystical master from the Taiyi Sect, and an extremely powerful one at that.
Such a master of mystic arts can teach his disciples using the art of enlightenment.
"Can we go and visit Miss Jiang?" Yuanyang asked hurriedly.
"I'm afraid not tonight. I still need to trouble a few Taoist priests to guard this evil cultivator. Don't worry, Taoist priests, I have already sent a constable to the Ye family to invite Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang will come to the county government early tomorrow morning," Magistrate Huang said hurriedly.
"Thank you, sir." Yuan Yang and the others were very excited after hearing this.
As Taoist priests, they learned ordinary spells, but were particularly eager to witness the legendary mystical arts.
The mystical masters of the Taiyi Sect are extremely mysterious. They occasionally descend the mountain to help the common people, but they also hide their identities, making it difficult for anyone to find their traces.
In times of peace and prosperity, almost only members of the royal family have access to the mystical masters of the Taiyi Sect.
Only the royal family knew the location of the Taiyi Sect's headquarters.
In addition, Taiyi Sect sends a Taoist master to the capital every year to preach to the Taoists.
Few Taoist priests are fortunate enough to go to the capital; they are all outstanding individuals selected from various places. Yunshan Temple has not had anyone so lucky for many years.
Anyway, Yuanyang and the others have never been there.
After Magistrate Huang left, Yuanyang and his fellow disciples immediately gathered around to examine the talisman pasted on the prison cell door.
"These talismans look simple, but I couldn't draw them..."
"It would probably require the use of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to draw this. In our Yunshan Temple, only Master can draw upon a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to temper himself. None of us can do it. Perhaps Master can draw it."
“Even Master can’t do it. To be honest, Master went into seclusion for more than a month last year, saying he wanted to try to integrate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the talisman to enhance its power. As a result, it exploded several times… Didn’t you see that Master’s beard still hasn’t grown back? It was blown off last time… If he hadn’t strictly forbidden me from telling anyone, I would have told you all long ago.” Yuan Yang coughed lightly and said in a low voice.
Everyone: "..."
They thought their master had failed at alchemy, but it turned out he was just drawing talismans.
“That Miss Jiang is truly amazing. She was able to divine the appearance of the murderer and find his hiding place. Only the Xuanshu masters of the Taiyi Sect have such abilities. Even our master can't do it. Even if our master uses the treasure of the sect, it won't work... I really want to see it for myself.”
The four brothers started discussing it amongst themselves.
It's not that they look down on their master, it's just that this Miss Jiang is too amazing.
"This girl is incredibly lucky. Otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered a Taiyi Sect master of metaphysics, received enlightenment from him, and learned extremely profound metaphysics. I wonder which powerful master of metaphysics came down from the mountain to travel. Why didn't we encounter him?"
"Third junior brother, even if you encounter it, it won't help. The Taiyi Sect has extremely strict conditions for recruiting Xuan Masters. Every year, hundreds of the most outstanding Taoists in the world gather in the capital. It's already very good if three or five people are chosen by the Taiyi Sect. Apart from that, the Taiyi Sect only recruits geniuses who can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are trained from childhood. These are the true disciples of the Taiyi Sect."
At this point, Yuan Yang said with envy, "That Miss Jiang must be able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is why she had such a wonderful encounter."
Even if they encounter such a thing, it's useless.
