Chapter 359: Taishi Yu
Tai Shi Bai was much closer to Li Weiyi than to his other retainers and valued him very much.
First, it was because of Li Weiyi's extraordinary talent for telekinesis. In Lingxiao City, there were no more than five geniuses under the age of sixty who could cultivate to his level of telekinesis.
And "Zuo Ning" is only in his thirties.
Secondly, on the post ship, Taishi Bai had a very good first impression of him. "Kindness" in this era is more scarce than thousand-year-old medicine.
"This matter must start from the source."
Tai Shi Bai said: "In the past ten years, in Lingxiao City, especially in the imperial family, many women drank from the Mother and Child Spring and gave birth to children, but they have mothers but no fathers."
Li Weiyi asked curiously, "Did the Grand Palace Master of Feng Pavilion impose this rule?"
"When you come to Lingxiao City, don't discuss anything about the Grand Palace Master. You must remember this!"
After giving these instructions, Tai Shi Bai continued by voice transmission: "The Grand Palace Master has been locked up in the palace for more than ten years. No one knows what her current condition is. Under the rectification of the Second and Third Palace Masters, the Xiaotian Order is like a piece of waste paper."
"There is no clear law regarding drinking from the Mother and Child Spring, but within the court, if all the women in a family do not drink from the Mother and Child Spring, they will surely be attacked by political enemies, who will say that you harbor resentment towards the Grand Palace Master and have rebellious intentions towards the court."
Li Weiyi asked, "Isn't this too extreme?"
Tai Shi Bai smiled bitterly: "The thousand-year-old hero, the Grand Palace Master, was once a god-like existence in the hearts of countless people. This is also the case now."
"In fact, most families and women in the families voluntarily drink from the Mother and Child Spring to reproduce."
"But...something happened at Zimu Spring!"
"Recently, there have been many cases of women drinking from the Mother and Child Spring giving birth to ghost babies. Even the mothers themselves have turned into ghost mothers."
"In the beginning, the news could be suppressed. The imperial court would secretly suppress these ghost mothers and ghost babies and lock them up. But the situation became more and more serious. Over the past two years, women who drank from the Mother and Child Spring have suffered accidents one after another, and some of them are extremely powerful."
"In recent days, this matter has spread all over the streets and alleys, and rumors are everywhere."
"It is said that what the Grand Palace Master found back then was not the Mother and Child Spring, but the Ghost Infant Spring. Anyone who drinks from the Mother and Child Spring will get into trouble sooner or later."
"Some also say that it was because the Taichang Temple failed to guard the Zimu Spring properly, and was taken advantage of by the ghost realm of the dead."
“What’s more, some people say that the Taishi family is the mastermind behind this, and they want to use the Zimu Spring to undermine the prestige of the Grand Palace Master, split the court, and plot a rebellion.”
Li Weiyi only listened to Tai Shi Bai's story and felt a dangerous atmosphere of impending storm, with a strong smell of conspiracy.
He said: "You dare to criticize the Grand Palace Master and bring up the Taishi family. There must be someone behind the rumors."
"We are already checking."
Tai Shi Bai was worried and sad, "Zuo Ning, you have to know that this is an extraordinary period. Outside, the demons are wreaking havoc in the East China Sea and the West. Inside, there are strong men from outside the country who are temporarily staying in Lingxiao City."
"At this critical moment, such a joke happened... No, it's not funny at all. The ghost baby incident targeted those people who were most loyal to the Grand Palace Master and the court. Now that they have lost face, the court and the people are shaken. Given the Second Palace Master's personality, he will definitely kill as many people as possible."
“Who will take the blame?”
"If this matter cannot be resolved as soon as possible, or if the truth cannot be found out, the Taishi family will be in great trouble."
Li Weiyi knew about the demon clan's plan to attack Lingxiao City, so he strongly suspected that it was related to them. It was like killing three birds with one stone.
First, it caused chaos within the imperial court, which was so busy dealing with the situation that it had no time to detect the true intentions of the demon clan and the Dao Cult in attacking Lingxiao City.
Second, it would further destroy the reputation of the Grand Palace Master and cause even those who were most loyal to the Lingxiao Palace to begin to waver.
Third, political enemies will definitely take this opportunity to attack the Taishi family and plunge the court into internal strife. The Taishi family will be excluded and suppressed, and they happen to control half of the defense formations of Lingxiao City and the four major passes... The consequences can be imagined.
"This move is really powerful, the move is precise and hits the vital point of the imperial court."
Li Weiyi secretly admired him and asked, "Is it a problem with the Mother and Child Spring itself? Or has someone tampered with it?"
Taishi Bai shook his head gently: "It's not clear yet. Many secrets are only known by the older generation. Well... you don't have to worry too much. The Taishi family has the ancestor Chao Ran, so it won't fall! Over the past thousand years, we have experienced countless storms."
After passing through the bustling downtown area, the convoy arrived at Yunxiufang, where the Taishi family lived.
The wall of the square is three meters high and is made of glazed stone.
The formation is activated and the door opens.
The street was much quieter. The buildings on both sides were made of special materials, and there were stone beasts guarding the doors and roofs.
Yunxiufang, with the Taishi family's ancestral home as its center, is surrounded by an area of a hundred miles.
Almost all the people living in the block have close ties with the Taishi family, and have been related to them for generations.
The ancestral home of the Taishi family is magnificent and magnificent. It needs no further explanation. Inside, there are several mountains, lush precious trees, and exotic birds building nests, giving people a sense of depth and mystery. In Lingxiao City, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, this is the real luxury.
One mile into the palace.
At a white stone square, all the spiritual masters got off the bus.
Several old stewards of Daozhong Realm came out and saluted Taishi Bai first. Then, they took out the formation cards that had been prepared long ago, distributed them to everyone, and arranged their accommodations.
Li Weiyi took the palm-sized jade array plate.
On the front of the battle card are the two characters "Tai Shi".
On the back is the address: Huanhuali, Weiyiju.
The ancestral mansion has many female members and is not a place for guests like them to live.
Long Xiangcen was wearing a veil and had no formation card, so it was obvious that she could live in the mansion.
A hearty laugh came from the northeast corner of the square: "Brother Bai, you finally came to Lingxiao City... Hey, cousin Xiang Cen, we haven't seen each other for two years, right?"
The chief of the Taishi Jia, "Tai Shi Yu", was wearing a gorgeous robe and a green jade crown on his head. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and walked towards us quickly with a smile on his face.
He is handsome and noble, with a mole between his eyebrows. He does not have the aggressiveness of a powerful warrior, but has the unrestrained appearance of a dandy young man.
Behind him, several followers followed, all of them had good looks and strong aura.
Tai Shiyu stood beside Tai Shibai, but his eyes fell on Long Xiangcen, and he looked at her carefully, as if he could see through her completely. He smiled and said, "You are more beautiful now, more beautiful than before! In two days, I will attend the birthday banquet of the West Sea Palace, and I am short of a female companion. Xiangcen, are you willing to accompany your cousin?"
Long Xiangcen smiled reservedly and looked at Taishi Bai.
Tai Shi Bai knew Tai Shi Yu's character and snorted coldly, "Tai Shi Yu, the family is in a precarious situation. Instead of solving the problem and taking responsibility, you are attending a birthday banquet. Is this how you should be the chief?"
"If there's any trouble at the Taichang Temple, the old man and his men will handle it. Why are you so anxious? Will it be useful? Just rely on the people you brought with you?"
Tai Shi Yu had a smile in his eyes and a playful look on his face, and then he actually walked towards Long Xiangcen.
All the guests knew about the delicate relationship between Taishi Bai and Long Xiangcen. Taishi Yu's words, eyes, and actions made them extremely angry.
Behind Taishi Bai, two retainers flashed out and stood in front of Taishi Yu.
As retainers of the Nanyanguan General's Mansion, they didn't mind being looked down upon, but they had to stand up when the young master was humiliated.
Tai Shiyu inherited the power of telekinesis of the Taishi family, and was one of the top ten masters in the entire Lingxiao City. His eyes only flickered for a moment, but no spiritual light escaped, and the two disciples who had cultivated the Dao Lotus fell to the ground, unable to fight back.
Long Xiangcen had an idea and took the opportunity to hide behind Li Weiyi.
"Cousin, why are you hiding from me? Am I that scary?"
Seeing Li Weiyi standing in front of him and not giving way at all, Tai Shiyu's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted with a voice full of telekinesis: "Can't you tell the difference between superiors and inferiors? Get out of here!"
The power contained in this voice is even stronger than the previous soul-capturing pupil.
Like thunder passing through my ears.
“Wow!”
In front of Li Weiyi, an arc-shaped, red-gold flame barrier appeared, like a shield, dissolving Tai Shiyu's sonic power. But it failed to completely block it, and his figure retreated two steps.
Tai Shiyu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Li Weiyi: "You are no more than 40 years old, right? At such a young age, it is rare to be able to cultivate telekinesis to this level. What's your name?"
"Zuo Ning!"
Li Weiyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I haven't heard of him. He turned out to be a nobody."
Tai Shiyu thought for a moment and shook his head. Seeing that Tai Shibai's face was extremely cold and on the verge of exploding, he laughed and said, "Forget it, let's go to the Xianlin of Danyuefang to have some wine and listen to music!"
After going out.
Tai Shiyu's frivolous smile disappeared instantly, and he used telekinesis to send a message to a retainer behind him: "Find out where this Zuo Ning came from. The world is so small, how could a genius with telekinesis suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
He also instructed another retainer: "Keep a close eye on Long Xiangcen. Once she leaves the ancestral mansion, don't miss any place she goes or who she meets."
…
Li Weiyi looked at Taishi Yu and others who were going away: "What a powerful Taishi Jiashou! I can't even block a single sound from him."
Long Xiangcen was no longer as depressed as before, and said with a smile: "He is one of the ten most talented people in Lingxiao City, and one of the top figures in the Jiazi Book. If you can withstand his roar, you will become famous in Lingxiao City!"
Tai Shi Bai said: "He is still the same as always. Half of the reputation of the Tai Shi family has been ruined by him. Now, people outside call him Qing Shi Yu, and he has changed at least a hundred lovers. Everyone should go to your residence and rest first. The head of the family will hold a banquet at the ancestral mansion tonight to welcome you all."
Tai Shi Bai and Long Xiangcen walked towards the depths of the ancestral mansion.
Li Weiyi traveled with several spiritual masters who all lived in Huanhuali. They had a great time chatting with each other along the way and got to know each other briefly.
Huanhuali is about five or six miles away from the main gate of the ancestral mansion. It has a quiet environment and is lined with three-story buildings.
Each residence is a small courtyard with a living room and a bedroom. It can accommodate six or seven people without feeling crowded, and there are formations both above and below.
Li Weiyi walked around "Weiyi Ju" and then went out and left Yunxiufang.
Walk towards Tanyuefang.
The main street of the Fangdao is very wide, more than a hundred meters long. The imperial road in the middle is empty, and only the sedan chairs of the giants in the realm of immortality are qualified to travel on it.
Danyuefang is a world-famous downtown area, with fairy forests, Tiange, coffins from other worlds, rice man trading, auction houses, elixirs, magic tools, strange insects, talismans... almost all chambers of commerce have opened main stores here.
All the tens of millions of forces have industries here.
