Chapter 68: Difficulties for Mortals
After entering the city gate, Lu Yi discovered that the scenes inside and outside the city wall were different.
It was very desolate outside the city walls, but unexpectedly prosperous inside the walls.
The sounds of hawkers hawking their wares are endless, and on both sides of the street are exquisite shops, including cloth shops, rouge and powder shops, pawnshops, jewelry stores, and so on.
There were also many pedestrians on the street. When they saw the man riding a strange horse with a single horn, their faces changed and they made way.
This horse is obviously not an ordinary horse, how can the person be an ordinary person? Bai Yulong rode on the one-horned spirit horse, smiling, and said with a little excitement: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the mortal city is different from our mountain gate, it is much more prosperous."
Even Jiang Fan nodded slightly without refuting. Although the Baiyun Sect had beautiful scenery, it was full of cultivators and must be cold and deserted.
At this time, Bai Yulong's handsome face showed a strange smile, and he said, "By the way, do you want to go to the brothel to have some fun later? Let me tell you, the girls there speak well and are very sensible. They are completely different from the sisters and brothers in our sect!"
Jiang Fan was stunned, a strange look appeared on his ordinary face, and he glanced at Bai Yulong: "You have been to that kind of place?"
Lu Yi also looked at Bai Yulong strangely: "Brother Bai Yulong, I can't believe that a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually linger in the flowers?"
Bai Yulong felt the strange looks from Jiang Fan and Lu Yi, and his face flushed. He said, "So what? I'm not practicing a technique that requires me to remain a virgin! Why can't I go?"
As he spoke, he squinted at the two of them and said, "Look at the two of you. Are you still virgins?"
Jiang Fan smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, boy? How can a cultivator have so many worldly desires?"
No, I do have many worldly desires...
Lu Yi complained in his heart, but he had awakened the golden finger after all. If he didn't find a fairy or a saint, he should at least find a beautiful lady, right? For example, his second sister and Sister Liu Ningshuang.
Otherwise, wouldn’t this bring shame to the predecessors who traveled through time?
Lu Yi said seriously: "I think Senior Brother Jiang Fan is right."
Jiang Fan chuckled and said, "Look, even Junior Brother Lu said so."
Bai Yulong's mouth twitched, and he fanned himself: "Humph! You two really don't know what the ultimate happiness on earth is!"
Jiang Fan curled his lips without comment, but Lu Yi was a little curious.
So what is the ultimate bliss on earth?
He was kind of thinking about asking Senior Brother Bai Yulong for advice, but when he thought about his own grand goal, he shook his head.
No, how could I be so useless!
The three of them talked as they walked along the main road and soon arrived at the palace.
When the guards outside the palace saw Lu Yi and the other two, their pupils contracted.
A middle-aged man who looked like a superior came running over and said respectfully, "Three immortal masters, are you the immortal masters of the Baiyun Sect?"
Lu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Well, we are entrusted by the sect to help the monarch of Mohe Kingdom."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly said respectfully: "The king has ordered that if the White Cloud Sect's immortal master arrives, you should be brought directly to see him! Please follow me, three immortal masters!"
Lu Yi and the other two rode on spirit horses into the palace. Following the middle-aged man, they soon arrived outside a palace.
There were several people standing at the entrance of the hall, led by a middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe, next to him was a gray-haired old man with a slightly pale face, and there were a few others.
Lu Yi glanced over and realized that the middle-aged man was the king of Mohe State.
The gray-haired old man also had the aura of the tenth level of Qi training, but his aura was a little weak and he looked injured.
He should be the state teacher of Mohe State.
Among the other people, two had cultivation and were in the Qi training stage, but their levels were not very high. There were also a few young men who looked like princes or something like that.
When the King of Mohe saw Lu Yi and the other two coming, he quickly led everyone forward and bowed, saying, "Mo Ling, meet the three White Cloud Sect Immortal Masters."
The gray-haired old man also bowed and said, "Li Qing greets the three brothers."
Others also spoke up: "Greetings to the three immortal masters!"
Lu Yi and the other two dismounted, and Lu Yi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. We are entrusted by the sect to help you deal with the evil cultivators."
Bai Yulong looked at the gray-haired old man Li Qing with some surprise and asked, "You call us Senior Brother?"
Li Qing showed a nostalgic look and said, "When Li Qing was young, he was an outer disciple of the sect. However, because he failed to enter the inner sect, he left the sect and wandered around for decades before joining the Mohe Kingdom and becoming the national teacher of the Mohe Kingdom. The three senior brothers are all inner disciples, so they are naturally Li Qing's senior brothers."
After hearing this, Lu Yi and the other two suddenly realized.
The term of service for Baiyun Sect's outer disciples is limited. When the term is up, if they fail to break through to the foundation-building stage, they cannot continue to practice in the outer sect.
These disciples can become the secular representatives of Baiyun Sect and handle some secular affairs for Baiyun Sect, or they can become menial disciples of the inner sect and continue to practice.
Some people will leave Baiyun Sect and travel outside.
There are many Baiyun Sect disciples like Li Qing.
When Lu Yi and the other two heard Li Qing's introduction, they also smiled.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Li Qing." Since they are from the same school, they will naturally be closer.
The King of Mohe State was relieved when he saw the gentle expressions of Lu Yi and the other two. He then said with a smile, "The three immortal masters must have had a hard time along the way. Why don't you take a few days off? If you need anything, just tell me."
Hearing this, Bai Yulong's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Of course, no problem."
Jiang Fan on the side glanced at Bai Yulong and said, "Don't listen to him. We are here to carry out a mission. Tell us what's going on."
Bai Yulong froze, looked at Jiang Fan with some resentment, and then looked at Lu Yi expectantly, hoping that Lu Yi would agree with what the King of Mohe said.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Fan is right. Let's talk about the mission first."
Seeing that even Lu Yi said so, Bai Yulong said with a disappointed look on his face: "Okay then."
Upon hearing this, the King of Mohe said without further ado, "In that case, let's go into the hall and talk. Let the State Master and the three Immortal Masters explain the situation in detail."
Lu Yi nodded, and the three of them entered the palace of the King of Mohe.
Several people sat down. Li Qing looked at Lu Yi and said, "It's like this. Since four months ago, there have been frequent cases of missing people in the capital. At first, there were only a few missing people, but later the murderer became more rampant and the number of missing people increased. A month ago, we found the evil cultivator through some clues. I fought a big battle with the evil cultivator, and we both suffered injuries in the end. To be honest, I am old and my injuries have not healed yet. The evil cultivator has started to commit crimes again. I am the only one in the entire capital who has reached the tenth level of Qi training. As a last resort, the king can only ask for help from the Baiyun Sect."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and the other two looked at each other, all with anger on their faces.
Bai Yulong slapped his folding fan and said, "Kidnapped people to practice, I guess they need flesh and blood to practice evil skills. The evil cultivator really deserves to die."
Jiang Fan also frowned and glanced at Mo Ling: "It started four months ago... There must be quite a few deaths, right?"
Mo Ling smiled bitterly and said, "There was a severe drought this year, and many refugees fled to the capital. It was difficult to count the refugees and beggars, and even their disappearances were difficult to detect. It was not until the thief became more and more brazen and extended his claws to the civilians that we found clues through clues."
Hearing this, Lu Yi thought of the refugees at the gate, and sighed in his heart. Those refugees thought they would be saved once they entered the city, but who would have thought that there were still evil cultivators who devoured people in the city? Life is too difficult for mortals.
At this time, Lu Yi thought of a question: if he did the disaster relief himself, could he trigger the mission reward?
