Chapter 151 Taoist Heavenly Master
Li Siqi went to explain the matter to the emperor's father that day. Although the emperor pitied his health and tried to persuade him to stay, he could not change his temper and agreed to it. He also promised to help them cover their whereabouts in the capital and not let others know about it.
The group left Beijing secretly again. This time, they first settled down in the Jun County government office.
Huang Shaohua was very surprised to see the Ninth Prince, and his face became solemn when he heard the word "Hanba".
"I did hear about Hanba when I was a kid, but I always thought it was made up by the older generation. I never thought that such a creature actually existed in this world."
Xu Yingying sneered, "What scares people in this world is never the things themselves, but the people who use these things to harm others!"
Li Siqi answered, "No matter what, we can only get rid of this Hanba first, and then discuss how to remove those corrupt officials who are harming people."
Huang Shaohua pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Recently, a Taoist priest came to Jun County. Many people in the city asked him to tell fortunes. They all said that he was very accurate and had great abilities. Your Highness, do you think such a person would be of any use to you? If you need him, I can introduce him to you."
Li Siqi nodded immediately. "This matter is of great importance. The more talents like this, the better. Go and make the arrangements now."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After Huang Shaohua left, Xu Yingying saw that Li Siqi looked tired, and said with some distress, "Since we are here, there is no need to be so anxious. Your body can't take it."
"It doesn't matter," Li Siqi said, "As long as the drought is not eliminated, the people of our country will have no peace."
Xu Yingying felt that what Li Siqi said made a lot of sense so she didn't try to dissuade him anymore.
Huang Shaohua was extremely efficient in his work. Within a few hours, a white-haired old man wearing a Taoist robe and looking like an immortal appeared in front of Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.
"Your Highness, Lord Xu, this is the hermit Taoist Fang Ruohan. He has practiced Taoism for many years and has long been living in seclusion in the mountains. But recently, he felt that something was wrong in the world, and that there was an evil spirit causing chaos and harming the people, so he took the initiative to come out and solve the problem."
Huang Shaohua respectfully introduced Taoist Fang to Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.
"Hello, Chief Taoist."
"Hello, Chief Taoist."
Li Siqi and Xu Yingying asked Fang Ruohan respectfully.
"Before I left the mountain, I read the hexagram. According to the hexagram, is there a drought demon causing trouble in our county recently?"
Fang Ruohan didn't waste time talking to them, but directly expressed his views.
"Correct."
When Xu Yingying heard Fang Ruohan's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, filled with admiration, and she nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.
He is indeed a master! Every calculation is accurate.
"Master, do you have any way to get rid of him?" Li Siqi asked impatiently. This was something that had been bothering him for a long time and it had to be resolved as soon as possible.
"I understand. I will fight this drought demon as soon as I am ready. I need a lot of boy's urine and a hundred-year-old peach tree. It is best if it has been struck by lightning, as it will be more masculine."
Fang Ruohan instructed Li Siqi and Xu Yingying.
"Okay, I understand." Li Siqi nodded.
"Master, please rest assured. We will take care of all this. We will do it right away." Xu Yingying said impatiently.
After saying that, she was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait a moment, Lord Xu. I have something to say to you alone." Fang Ruohan suddenly spoke to stop Xu Yingying.
Not only Xu Yingying herself was surprised, but Li Siqi and Huang Shaohua who were present also felt extremely shocked.
"Okay." Xu Yingying was slightly stunned when she heard this, but quickly nodded and agreed.
"Your Highness, please wait for me for a moment!" Xu Yingying said to Li Siqi.
"Okay." Li Siqi nodded.
Fang Ruohan and Li Siqi walked to a deserted, quiet place.
"Master, do you have anything you want to tell me?" Xu Yingying asked curiously.
"You are a lonely soul from another world! The original soul in this body has died long ago!" Fang Ruohan didn't beat around the bush with Xu Yingying and got straight to the point.
When these words were spoken, Xu Yingying's jaw dropped, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
After a while, Xu Yingying nodded and admitted: "Yes, Master, do you have any way to let me return to my own world?"
Fang Ruohan smiled and said nothing. She left after saying "The secret cannot be revealed."
Xu Yingying looked at Fang Ruohan's departing back and felt distraught and seemed a little depressed.
Fang Ruohan's words finally ignited hope in Xu Yingying's heart, but it was shattered by Fang Ruohan herself.
Xu Yingying felt helpless and could only plan to go with Li Siqi to gather the things to deal with the drought demon.
Just like that, Xu Yingying, who was in a low mood, came to Li Siqi.
"Let's go, we're going to collect boy's urine and century-old peach wood." Xu Yingying said to Li Siqi with a very forced smile on her face.
"Uh... ok."
"What did the Taoist priest tell you? Why do you seem absent-minded today? You seem a little depressed!"
Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying who looked a little strange and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing, I just slept late last night and I'm not in a very good mood." Xu Yingying made up an excuse.
"Let's go! Let's go find boy's urine and century-old peach wood." Xu Yingying urged.
Li Siqi could see that Xu Yingying was trying to change the subject, but since she didn't take the initiative to speak, Li Siqi was too embarrassed to say more or ask any further questions.
In this way, with the joint efforts of the two and the help of Li Siqi's "cash ability", the two of them collected the large amount of boy's urine and the century-old peach wood struck by lightning that Fang Ruohan wanted in a short period of time.
Li Siqi's work efficiency is extremely high, which surprised Fang Ruohan.
Fang Ruohan made a prompt decision and took Li Siqi, Xu Yingying and the other two to sneak into Feng County late at night.
After arriving in Feng County, a new problem arose before the three people, which was how to lure out the drought demon.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yingying couldn't wait to speak: "How about this! I will use myself as bait to attract Hanba to appear, and then you can set a trap in advance to eliminate him?"
Li Siqi subconsciously denied it and said, "No, Hanba is so dangerous, what if it hurts you?"
Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying with concern.
After hearing this, Xu Yingying said helplessly: "Then do we have any better way to lure out the drought demon? And isn't Taoist Fang here? He will definitely protect my safety, don't worry."
Ever since Fang Ruohan revealed that Xu Yingying was from another world, Xu Yingying has recognized Master Fang's professional ability and believed that Fang Ruohan is a genuine hermit master.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will do my best to protect Miss Xu's safety and will not let her suffer any harm." Fang Ruohan vowed.
The three of them remained in a stalemate for a while.
Finally, Li Siqi gave in and compromised: "This... is fine!"
