Chapter 57 Old Taoist Priest

Jia Hu walked back slowly, and a strong smell of blood drifted into the noses of Tanchun and the others.

"Ugh" Yingchun and the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and retched.

Only Tanchun did not retch. Instead, she looked at Jia Hu with tears streaming down her face and suddenly said:
"Third brother, are you tired?"

Jia Hu looked at Tanchun in surprise, and immediately saw a pair of eyes with a very complicated expression of gratitude, heartache, and relief.

Jia Hu felt warm in his heart. Min Tanchun, what a great Min Tanchun, has she realized that he has the ability to protect them?
He smiled

"Don't worry, Third Sister. They are just trash. They can't hurt me at all." He stepped back a few steps.
After making sure that the bloody smell on his body would not affect them, he looked at Li Liang, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face.

"Haven't you seen me kill someone? Why are you so timid?
Go to the city and buy me a set of clothes." Jia Hu frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

Li Liang really wanted to cry. Yes, you have killed people, but each time it was done cleanly.

This time it's different, you're here in person, you blow a head off with one punch, who can stand that?
Do you want to see what you look like now? You are covered in blood, just like a devil.

He dared to think so in his heart, but he absolutely dared not say it out loud, and hurriedly climbed up
"Third Master, I'll go right away." After saying that, he stumbled out.

Jia Hu sat on a large rock not far away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

According to my habit, I won't do it myself.

But just now I couldn't help but want to kill someone with my own hands. It's really strange.

At this time in Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall, only Grandmother Jia was in the room, and even maids like Yuanyang had to wait outside.

Sitting below her was an old Taoist priest with white hair and a long beard, holding a whisk in his hand, looking like a Taoist master.

Grandmother Jia looked at the old Taoist priest in doubt.

"Master, can you really save my grandson?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said calmly
"Wulian Tianzun, monks do not tell lies. It is up to the old lady whether you believe it or not."

Jia's face turned serious.
"Master, please tell me what you want, as long as my Jia family can do it."

The old Taoist priest looked at Jia Mu and smiled

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I do not seek wealth or power.
It is only because of the connection between you and me that I am planning to help you."

Now Grandmother Jia is desperate and will try any possible cure, no matter who it is, as long as they can save Baoyu.

He stood up hurriedly, pleading:

"Please help me, Taoist priest. Baoyu is only a child. He can't die like this."

The old Taoist priest stood up and smiled.

"Madam, please lead the way."

Grandmother Jia nodded quickly and walked hurriedly outside, with the old Taoist priest limping behind her.

In Jia Baoyu's courtyard, Mrs. Wang almost cried herself blind.

Now he was staring blankly at Jia Baoyu lying on the bed, like a walking corpse.

"Master, he is inside. Please come in." Grandmother Jia was very attentive.
Obviously, all hopes are placed on this old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest came in and saw Jia Baoyu lying there. He was relieved to see that the light of the jade had only dimmed a little.

When Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu lying on the bed, she couldn't help but shed tears. Her Baoyu had suffered a great suffering this time.

The old Taoist priest didn't waste any words. He reached into his bosom and took out an oval mirror.

This mirror is a bit strange, it seems to be able to reflect both sides.

The old Taoist touched the mirror. He had asked Fairy Jinghuan for it when he went to the Land of Illusion. Otherwise, he would not have been able to save Jia Baoyu. The old Taoist held the mirror and shone it towards Jia Baoyu.
"Swish" a red light shot out from the mirror and hit Jia Baoyu's forehead.

Grandmother Jia was stunned. Was this a real god?
She was extremely excited, but she did not dare to disturb the old Taoist priest for fear of disrupting his spell.

The old Taoist priest's face was solemn, Jia Baoyu's eyebrows were getting darker and darker, and wisps of black air were absorbed into the mirror along with the red light.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest was relieved. It worked.
The output of mana increased, and black gas began to emerge continuously.

The room was extremely quiet. I didn't know how long it had been.

Jia Baoyu's face became rosy, and no more black air came out.
The old Taoist priest immediately stopped casting the spell, the red light disappeared, and he carefully put away the mirror.

His forehead was already covered in sweat at this time. Even with the help of the Mirror of Wind and Moon, he still consumed a lot of magic power.

"Baoyu, wake up, wake up quickly." Grandmother Jia rushed forward and called out.

"Old lady, don't worry, he has been poisoned for too long.
The body needs some recovery before waking up, and it will be awake tomorrow at the latest." The old Taoist said calmly.

Jia's mother came to her senses and hurriedly walked up to the old Taoist priest, bowed, and thanked him.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest. Thank you for your help."

The old Taoist waved his hand, and a light flashed in his eyes

"Madam, I have a question. Could you explain it to me?"

Grandmother Jia was startled, then immediately nodded.

"You say."

"I think this poison is extraordinary. If you didn't have a treasure to protect yourself, you would have died.
Can you tell me how he was poisoned?" The old Taoist said, looking at Lady Jia with burning eyes.

Grandmother Jia's face changed slightly, her mind raced, thinking of Jia Hu's cruelty, she smiled bitterly, shook her head and said:

"I was just bitten by a poisonous snake while playing outside."

The old Taoist's eyes flickered, and he knew at a glance that Lady Jia was lying. He nodded,

"I see. Your Excellency is not an ordinary person. Old Madam, you should take better care of him."

Grandmother Jia nodded repeatedly.

"What the Taoist said is true." She would never let Jia Baoyu get close to Jia Hu again.
Who knows if I will have such good luck next time.

The old Taoist priest was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something and whispered

"I would like to remind you that although you are blessed,
But it would be best if he could find a noble lady from outside the palace to accompany him, who could resolve his disasters.” After saying this, he turned and left, disappearing in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Grandmother Jia stood there in a daze. A noble lady from outside the mansion?
She instantly thought of Lin Daiyu, and then thought of Jia Baoyu's love for Lin Daiyu, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

As soon as the old Taoist priest appeared on Ningrong Street, two carriages drove over from the opposite direction and passed him by in a flash.

The old Taoist priest's heart moved, he stopped and turned to look at the carriage, with a look of doubt on his face.
Why did I feel palpitations in the carriage just now?

When he saw the carriage driving directly into the Rongguo Mansion, he frowned, took a step, and disappeared on the spot.

The carriage had just stopped and Jia Hu was about to get off.
Suddenly he raised his head and looked at the old Taoist priest standing in front of him with a cold face.

When the old Taoist saw this gaze, he was stunned. Could he see me?
He took a few steps to the side, and Jia Hu's eyes followed him.

The old Taoist priest was startled, and walked to the other side, staring closely at the young man in green.

The boy's eyes were still following his movements.
