Chapter 55: The medical fairy's father's martial arts are invincible in the world!
Amidst the picturesque scenery of mountains and clear waters, there is curling smoke from cooking fires, the land is flat, the houses are neatly built, the roads are connected, the chickens and dogs can be heard, it is a paradise-like scenery that makes people yearn for it.
The magistrate of Qingyang County personally came to the small mountain village in a horse-drawn carriage. Before approaching the village, he got off the carriage and walked there.
It's not that the ground is not flat and wide enough for the carriage to enter, but it is to show respect for the hermit living in seclusion in this mountain village.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, the magistrate of Qingyang County could see a jujube tree that was so big that it took five or six people to hug it. It was rooted at the entrance of the village. The tree was lush and leafy, and towering like a canopy. He looked at the tree with shock.
Who would have thought that such an extremely tall tree was actually a date tree.
A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves swayed slightly. He could also vaguely see the fiery red dates hidden among the leaves.
Normally speaking, the dates should not be ripe at this time of year. Even if there are date trees bearing dates, they should be green dates. However, the dates on this tree are bright red, as if there are small flames hidden among the leaves.
The magistrate of Qingyang County swallowed his saliva quietly. This fiery red date should be the Fire Spirit Date cultivated by the hermit living in seclusion here. It is said that eating one can increase one's internal strength by ten years. There are so many dates on this tree. If he eats a few more, wouldn't he instantly become a peerless internal strength master?
It is said that this Fire Spirit Date tree was transplanted five years ago. I don't know why the master chose to plant it at the entrance of the village. There is no one guarding it, and there is no need to worry about the Fire Spirit Dates being stolen.
When the Qingyang County Magistrate was thinking this, a servant beside him took the initiative to say, "Sir, those dates look very good. I will climb up and pick some for you."
After saying this, without waiting for the Qingyang County magistrate to speak to stop him, the servant ran to the Fire Spirit Date Tree, stood still, tucked the hem of his shirt into his trousers, rubbed his hands, and was about to climb the tree.
But a shocking scene happened. The Fire Spirit Date Tree, which had been standing still, actually stretched out a branch. The originally hard branch became as soft as a snake, and it immediately rolled up the man who wanted to climb the tree and threw him towards the Qingyang County Magistrate.
The Qingyang County Magistrate dodged to the side in embarrassment and managed to avoid the man who was thrown at him.
The Qingyang County Magistrate and others looked in shock as they watched the jujube tree in front of them slowly retract the branch that had shaken off the climber. They could hardly believe their eyes. Could it be that the tree had become a spirit?
Although they had heard many legends about ghosts and gods, and they would rather believe in them than not, this was the first time they had witnessed a tree demon that had become a spirit. This was different from those martial artists who flew around with their lightness skills, and it was also different from the deceptive tricks of the martial arts world. This was truly a tree demon that had become a spirit!
At this time, the silver bell-like laughter of children came from the front, bringing the Qingyang County Magistrate and his party back to their senses from their shock. They saw five children wearing ordinary fine cotton clothes, holding small windmills in their hands and running towards them with smiles.
When the children saw the Qingyang County Magistrate and others at the entrance of the village, they immediately stopped, stood near the Fire Spirit Date Tree, looked at them curiously, and asked, "Where are you from?"
The Qingyang County Magistrate immediately bowed to the five children and said, "I am the Qingyang County Magistrate, and I have come to visit Mr. Li!"
After hearing the words of the Qingyang County Magistrate, four of the five children looked at the little girl who was the best dressed and most beautiful among them.
The Qingyang County Magistrate could tell at a glance that the little girl was the leader among the five children.
Unexpectedly, the little girl took a step forward, looked at him curiously with her big watery eyes, and asked, "What do you want to do with my dad?"
The magistrate of Qingyang County was shocked. He didn't expect that he would meet Mr. Li's daughter just after arriving in the village and before he even met the villagers.
The magistrate of Qingyang County was immediately glad that when he faced the five children before, he subconsciously chose to be polite because of the warning given by the Fire Spirit Jujube Tree just now, and did not act in a domineering manner and leave a bad impression on Mr. Li's daughter.
The Qingyang County Magistrate showed more respect to the little girl. He said in a deep voice, "I am here to thank Mr. Li for helping Qingyang County get rid of the Shao Clan's Eighteen Bandits and the Five Poison Taoists, and for helping many people get rid of the plague caused by the Five Poison Taoists."
Just a few months ago, the notorious Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Clan colluded with the Five Poison Taoists in the martial arts world and brought disaster to the martial arts world. In order to refine some magical medicine, they harmed the people everywhere, killed people and took their blood. Wherever they passed, there was almost a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
These villains are wanted by everyone in the martial arts world, but those righteous people just shout at them. There are very few people who actually take action against them, and there is no real master to take action against them, which is why the Eighteen Bandits of the Shaw Family and the Five Poison Taoists are still so arrogant today.
However, when they were so arrogant in Qingyang County, they hit a wall. It happened that there was a hermit living in seclusion in Qingyang County. He killed the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Family who were highly skilled in martial arts with just a casual move.
The Eighteen Shao Bandits are eighteen brothers with the surname Shao. It is said that they are brothers from the same mother. No matter what they do, they are in sync and work together. They almost never separate when traveling around the world. The eighteen people have a set of joint attack formations. Even the most powerful martial arts leader or demon cult leader in the world cannot stand up against the joint attack of these eighteen people alone.
Therefore, the Eighteen Bandits of Shaw Brothers can be said to be very carefree and arrogant, and they openly call themselves the Eighteen Heroes of Shaw Brothers. But because they committed so many evil things, people still called them bandits.
The killing power of the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao family is strong enough, but they have colluded with the Five Poison Taoists.
The Five Poison Taoists are far inferior to the Eighteen Bandits of Shaw Brothers in terms of martial arts, and may not even be their match in a one-on-one fight. However, his deterrent power is more terrifying than that of the Eighteen Bandits of Shaw Brothers, and it is because of - poison!
There are only wrong names in the world, but no wrong nicknames.
The reason why Taoist Wu Du has such a name is because he likes to wear Taoist robes and is very good at using poison. He once poisoned a guardian of the Demon Cult to death and was able to live well even though he was on the Demon Cult's wanted list.
After the Eighteen Bandits of the Shaw Family and the Five Poison Taoists joined forces, it could be said that no one, whether from the righteous or evil sects, could do anything to them.
It's not that their combined power is stronger than that of the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Cult, but to eradicate them one must pay a huge price, such as the death of several top executives or many middle and lower-level officials. This is an unbearable pain for both forces, so Alliance Leader Bai and Cult Leader Li both chose to stand by and watch.
After all, after the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Family and the Five Poison Taoists joined forces, they did not take action against their forces, but only harmed some ordinary people. It's not like they didn't come out to fight and kill the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Family and the Five Poison Taoists, so what else do they want from them?
In this way, the Eighteen Bandits of the Shaw Family and the Five Poison Taoists were rampant and killing people, and almost no one could stop them. The court was still arguing about this matter. When the meeting came to a conclusion, perhaps the Eighteen Bandits of the Shaw Family and the Five Poison Taoists would stop on their own.
But what no one expected was that the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao Family and the Five Poison Taoists, who had made both the righteous and evil forces in the martial arts world so fearful that they ignored them and for whom the imperial court had not yet come up with a solution, were actually killed on the same day by an unknown man named Li in Qingyang County. In full view of everyone, they were all killed with a single palm strike.
If the Five Poison Taoist had not infected everyone in Qingyang County with plague poison to confirm his identity, everyone would have thought that the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao family and the Five Poison Taoist who died easily at the hands of the mysterious Mr. Li were all fakes.
Because the process of Mr. Li killing the Eighteen Bandits of the Shaw Family and the Five Poison Taoists was so easy and simple. He just raised his hand lightly and pushed in the direction of more than a dozen of them, and all of them died instantly.
Later, Mr. Li took out antidote pills for the plague and put them in the well water of Qingyang County to dissolve it. From then on, everyone who drank the well water was cured of the plague.
The magistrate of Qingyang County, who was also infected with the plague and was dying at the time, was lucky enough to survive.
After hesitating for a long time, the magistrate of Qingyang County immediately sent people to inquire about the mysterious Mr. Li. After finding out Mr. Li's residence, he arranged for a carriage to visit him immediately.
The magistrate of Qingyang County originally thought that Mr. Li, who was able to stop the Eighteen Bandits of the Shao family and the Five Poison Taoists when they attacked Qingyang County, was a native of Qingyang County. However, after making inquiries, he found out that Mr. Li was a hermit who lived in seclusion in a small mountain village next to Qingyun County near Qingyang County.
The magistrate of Qingyang County did not care about much else and rushed to visit Mr. Li as soon as possible. He decided to kowtow to Mr. Li and invite him to settle in Qingyang County.
With such a top master in charge of Qingyang County, who among the underworld people would dare to act wildly in Qingyang County in the future?
The Qingyang County Magistrate was very humble and bowed to the little girl, saying, "Excuse me, Miss Li, could you please introduce yourself to Mr. Li and say that I am the Qingyang County Magistrate and I am here to thank Mr. Li for saving my life. Please take the time to see me."
The little girl tilted her head, looked at the sincere look of the Qingyang County Magistrate, smiled sweetly, and said, "You seem to be quite sincere, but you just asked that guy to climb the tree to pick the Fire Spirit Dates, which annoyed Uncle Date Tree. You have to make that guy apologize to Uncle Date Tree!"
Asking someone to apologize to a date tree really sounds like deliberately making things difficult for that person.
However, the magistrate of Qingyang County had witnessed the spirit of the jujube tree with his own eyes, so he did not dare to treat the Fire Spirit Jujube Tree as an ordinary jujube tree. He quickly pulled the servant who had climbed the tree over to apologize.
Not only did he ask the servant to apologize, the Qingyang County magistrate himself also bowed and apologized to the Fire Spirit Jujube Tree.
In the absence of wind, the leaves of the Fire Spirit Date Tree rustled, surprising the Qingyang County Magistrate and others.
The little girl said, "Uncle Jujube Tree has forgiven you, so please follow me."
The little girl held the small windmill in her hand and first sent away her friends who were playing with her. Then, with a serious look on her cute little face, she led the way for the Qingyang County Magistrate and others.
The Qingyang County Magistrate spoke to her cautiously: "Don't you know your name?"
The little girl raised her head proudly and said, "My name is Li Fuling. The Mr. Li you are looking for is my father. My last name is Li, just like my father."
She seemed extremely proud that Mr. Li, the highly respected magistrate of Qingyang County, was her father, and she repeatedly emphasized in her words that Mr. Li was her father.
The magistrate of Qingyang County, who knew that she was Mr. Li's daughter long before she introduced herself, laughed in his heart, but on the surface he still cooperated and praised her: "Mr. Li is indeed a good father and a good daughter. Miss Li will be as powerful as Mr. Li in the future..."
The magistrate of Qingyang County was worried that his praise might be too high-brow and the little girl might not understand, so he praised her in a particularly direct way.
This really touched the itch of little Fuling. She always worshipped her father and liked to hear such straightforward compliments. She immediately curved her eyebrows with joy, not hiding her affection for the Qingyang County Magistrate, and asked, "You must be looking for more than just to thank my father, right? Is there something?"
The Qingyang County Magistrate was shocked. He did not expect that this little girl looked easy to please, but was actually quite smart. He did not hide the truth from her and said honestly, "I admire Mr. Li and would like to invite him to settle in Qingyang County."
