From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 72: White Cloud Spiritual Rice [Seeking follow-up reading and monthly ticket]

The only spiritual thing Li Yang had eaten was red fruit, and he ate three of them.

Compared with red fruit, the spiritual energy of this spiritual rice is not much, but it is very pure and gentle, with a faint breath of life. Li Yang regulates his breathing and meditates. The spiritual energy transformed from a meal of spiritual rice is equivalent to the merits of his ordinary half-day practice.

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, scooped out a small bowl of rice porridge and gave it to the squirrel and the toad, but ignored Gao Miao who was standing next to them.

"You came from the army and will return to it in the future. I don't intend to involve you too much with Baiyun Temple and me. I hope you can understand the reasons."

Gao Miao bowed and stepped out consciously.

Li Yang nodded without further explanation.

Although Gao Miao has performed well in the past ten days on the mountain, he is an official after all. When Yang Feng came up the mountain these two days, he intentionally or unintentionally asked Li Yang about the situation of the spiritual rice in the vegetable garden, as well as the five-yuan life-saving talisman, which were all revealed to Yang Feng by Gao Miao.

Everyone has their own stance. Li Yang actually admires Gao Miao's character very much. In his previous life, he also had great respect for Gao Miao's identity as a soldier of the people. From his standpoint, there is nothing wrong with Gao Miao's behavior.

So in Li Yang's opinion, since they are not on the same path, they should just do their own duties and not get entangled too much in cause and effect. Once the negative energy on Gao Miao is gone, they can go down the mountain as agreed. This will be good for both sides.

I contacted Yang Yingying and they said they had found the source of the rice and it would be delivered to the mountain in the next two days.

Today, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the speed of practicing Yangwu Shiqi Fa also slowed down. After practicing for a long time, Li Yang took advantage of the cloudy day and strolled to Shiyang Village at the foot of the mountain alone.

The spiritual rice has now been preliminarily screened out, and the next step is to expand the planting area. After Gao Miao returns to the official side, we need to prepare some people to go up the mountain to plant the spiritual rice.

When he arrived at Shiyang Village, the changes in the village compared to before almost made Li Yang think he had come to the wrong place.

The small village, which originally had only 200 households, was suddenly flooded with many strangers. Construction teams were renovating the cement mountain roads everywhere. The various projects in the village were filled with the sound of clanging. Some houses that had been abandoned for many years and no one lived in them were demolished and the prototypes of small villas were built.

I went to find Aunt Li in confusion, and Aunt Li also looked puzzled.

"Yangzi, you don't know that in the past month, the municipal government suddenly planned a project for our village. A large number of people came to repair and patch up the village, and the village was almost blown away."

"Also, I don't know what's going on, it's like the village has bought a gold mine, a lot of weird people want to buy houses in the village, no matter what the price is, they will buy, and they won't bargain. Almost half of the houses with famous names in the village have been sold."

Aunt Li exclaimed that it was strange, she had never seen such a strange thing in her life.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Auntie, why don't you sell it? Since there are so many people who are willing to take advantage of it, wouldn't it be better to just make some money and go to the city to enjoy life?"

"I won't go. Why would I want to go to the city and suffer? My daughter will graduate from college soon. I don't have to worry about the scholarship and tuition fees every year. I can open my own store in the village and be happy every day."

Aunt Li looked a little sad when she said this. Almost all her neighbors had moved out, and now she couldn't find anyone to chat with.

Li Yang laughed in silence and turned to look at the village.

Those outsiders in the village had already noticed him coming down the mountain, and they kept staring at the situation here from time to time, but no one came up to talk.

Li Yang knew that although the agreement he reached with the old man in Shangjing was secret, some details would definitely be revealed.

He knew his own uniqueness and reacted quickly to gain a foothold in this village. There must be a powerful figure behind him who has connections everywhere.

But without any official word, they certainly wouldn’t dare to contact me as that would be a taboo.

"True, they are just some suckers. Just think of them as having money but nowhere to spend it." Looking at Aunt Li who was extremely bored in the village, Li Yang had an idea and invited Aunt Li to go up the mountain to look after the rice for him.

"What? You can grow rice on that broken mountain of yours?"

"We are planting rice now, and we may plant some other things in the future." Li Yang was vague and did not directly point out the special nature of rice.

"There's not enough water on your mountain, so what can you grow? Yangzi, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll definitely bring it to you."

Aunt Li's eyes were full of concern, and Li Yang's heart also felt warm.

"No, mainly because there are too few people in my Taoist temple, and I can't take care of it. The things I grow are also good things, so I'll feel more at ease if I ask someone close to me to take care of it."

When Aunt Li heard Li Yang say that they were one of her own, her eyes suddenly became soft.

Isn’t he one of our own? What a good child! If it weren’t for Wu Yuanqing, the old man, Yangzi might have several children by now!

Aunt Li is still upset about not being able to successfully keep Li Yang at the high school dropout party.

"That's fine. Anyway, most of the old friends in the village have left, and I'm bored in the village. Wait for me to talk to the villagers and ask them not to demolish my store while I'm away."

"No, ma'am, I'll just go and talk to them."

Li Yang smiled easily, walked to a car on the side of the road with a license plate prefixed with "京", and knocked on the window.

The young man inside obviously knew him, and when he saw Li Yang coming over, his expression was both awkward and nervous.

Aunt Li looked at Li Yang in confusion as they were talking to the young man in the car, arm in arm. She had no idea what they were talking about, and the young man was so excited that he was patting his chest loudly.

Seeing Li Yang walking back slowly, Aunt Li looked puzzled: "Yangzi, what did you say to him? He is so young, will it be useful if you tell him?"

"It's okay. His last name is Liao. I told them to be more restrained."

"Surname Liao? What's the point of having the surname Liao? The grandma next door refused to sell her house, so she went to the city to visit her grandson for a week. When she came back, her house was demolished. Although she paid a large sum of money as compensation, she almost cried to death in front of me."

Li Yang didn't answer, but just smiled mysteriously.

There are many people with the surname Liao in this world, but it just so happens that there is also an old man with the surname Liao living in a courtyard house in the capital.

Aunt Li was still worried, so she went to the village committee to say hello and took Li Yang home for a meal.

A bowl of stir-fried green peppers with bacon and braised eggplant satisfied Li Yang's long-lost appetite. He hadn't had a normal meal for a long time since Chi Yanhong went into seclusion.

After dinner, Aunt Li muttered to herself as she carried a large piece of bacon, rummaged through a lot of other things, and followed Li Yang up the mountain.

Aunt Li is over 40 years old, but she is very strong. She carries bacon and local eggs on her back, and yet she can still talk to Li Yang with ease.

When he arrived at the Taoist temple, he didn't see Gao Miao. After comforting Aunt Li and letting her stay in the side room, suddenly a fat squirrel with blood on its body ran towards Li Yang, with a frightened look on its face, and excitedly gestured at him with something.

Li Yang's face turned cold and he followed the squirrel to the back mountain. On the hillside about a hundred meters away from the peak, Gao Miao was covered in blood. His iron body was full of wounds from being beaten. He fell on the side of the road like a pool of rotten meat.

In front of him, Jin Chan, with a wound on his back, was confronting two men in black.
