Tao Yaoye asked, "Since the Yao Bird is looking for Zhang Guanjia, have you tried to let the Yao Bird and Zhang Guanjia meet?"
The village head sighed deeply, "We didn't need to arrange a meeting between the Yao Bird and Zhang Guanjia. A few days ago, that Yao Bird went directly to Zhang Guanjia's house and shouted at Zhang Guanjia, 'Monster!' 'Monster!' Then it flew out the window, not knowing which house it flew to next."
"We didn't know what to do when the two Immortal Masters arrived."
Tao Yaoye pondered for a moment and guessed, "Zhang Guanjia is a monster? Is the Yao Bird warning you to be careful of Zhang Guanjia?"
Among the Yao Race, there are many kind-hearted individuals who either transform into human form or reveal their true form to warn people of impending disasters.
For example, the Great Yao King Zhu Yan. In folk legends, Zhu Yan's arrival meant great chaos in the world, so Zhu Yan was regarded as an ominous Yao Beast.
The Immortal Sects know that the opposite is true. It was not that Zhu Yan brought the chaos, but that Zhu Yan knew in advance that great chaos was coming, so it came from the Yao Domain to the Central Continent to warn the Human Race, completely out of good intentions.
Of course, Zhu Yan also bears some responsibility for this misunderstanding among the people—it's socially awkward and afraid to speak.
A silent Yao Race member with a ferocious face makes it difficult for people to believe that it is a kind Yao Beast.
Perhaps this Yao Bird is the same, coming to remind the people of Taiping Village that Zhang Guanjia is a transformed great Yao.
Speaking of this, the village head was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to refute this beautiful Immortal from the Immortal Sect, but he couldn't ignore the facts and insist that Zhang Guanjia was a Yao Race member.
"Zhang Guanjia grew up in Taiping Village. The elders can testify to this. He also has two younger brothers, Zhang Guanyi and Zhang Guanbing. The three brothers have a deep relationship. He now runs a private school, teaching children Confucianism and cultivation. He is one of the few teachers in Taiping Village."
"If you say he is a monster, I'm afraid..."
Tao Yaoye disagreed with the village head's point of view, "The Yao Race is long-lived. Many long-lived species will stay in a place for decades, allowing themselves to slowly age, just like mortals. When they have seen all the scenery in this place, they will fake their death and escape, walk out of the tomb, come to a new place, and start over."
The village head opened his mouth, his knowledge was not as good as Tao Yaoye's, and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Yang shook his head gently, pointing out the loopholes in Tao Yaoye's guess, "If Zhang Guanjia is a monster, then he must be a transformed great Yao. How could a transformed great Yao tolerate a small Yao Bird talking nonsense? I'm afraid the Yao Bird would be killed by Zhang Guanjia before it even had time to speak."
Tao Yao didn't refute, what Lu Yang said was indeed the truth.
Lu Yang stood up, "Even so, we still need to see this Zhang Guanjia."
The village head quickly led the way, "This way, two Immortal Masters, please."
On the way, Lu Yang pointed out the error in the village head's address, "We are all cultivators, aiming to become immortals. Not to mention that we are only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, even the Integrated Body True Monarchs and Tribulation Transcendence Venerables, those cultivation experts who are closest to becoming immortals, are not qualified to be called Immortal Masters."
"The village head can call us Daoists."
The village head smiled apologetically, not daring to treat Lu Yang and the others as ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Less than one in ten Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can advance to the Golden Core Stage. Those are ordinary cultivators. Dao Seeking Sect disciples are definitely guaranteed to reach the Golden Core Stage. He couldn't imagine how high their future achievements would be.
"Isn't it that no one has become an immortal? There are only some unfounded legends of immortals."
Lu Yang heard this, just smiled, and didn't say much.
Before long, the three arrived at Zhang Guanjia's residence.
"Old Zhang, someone's here, open the door."
The wooden door creaked open, Zhang Guanjia's expression was wooden as he stood behind the door.
"Let me introduce you, these two are Dao Seeking Sect disciples, here to help us get rid of the Yao Bird."
Hearing the words "Dao Seeking Sect," Zhang Guanjia's expression changed. He said helplessly, "I'm really not a monster. You can't just believe whatever the Yao Bird says. The Yao Bird also shouts 'Come play, Grandpa.' Why don't you let a few grandpas go find the Yao Bird to play with?"
The village head smiled awkwardly, "We're just wandering around, and we happened to wander here."
The village head was conscientious, and everyone said he was a good official. Since he had said this, Zhang Guanjia could only open the door and welcome the guests in.
Zhang Guanjia's house was a courtyard with two entrances and two exits. It seemed empty with only one person living there.
Zhang Guanjia was over forty years old and had not yet married.
The conversation always revolved around the Yao Bird. Zhang Guanjia said angrily, "I've never seen that Yao Bird before. Who knows why it's calling my name."
"I've never left Taiping Village in my life. The farthest I've been is Quhe County. Where would I know a Yao Bird?"
"Every day, students ask me, 'Teacher, Teacher, are you a monster?' Some students are even afraid of being eaten by me and complete their homework on time every day!"
"Even the neighbors came to me, saying that he has a Foundation Establishment Realm enemy in Quhe County and asked if I could secretly kill the other party. The price is negotiable!" Zhang Guanjia said through gritted teeth, wishing he could fight the Yao Bird to the death and clear his name.
As an ordinary person, he became a Yao Race member just because the Yao Bird opened its mouth. It was simply unreasonable!
After a conversation, the three didn't get any useful information, but only listened to Zhang Guanjia complaining about how much the Yao Bird had affected his life for two hours.
Fortunately, Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye quickly stated that they would definitely eliminate the Yao and exterminate the Mo, eliminate harm for the people, eliminate the Yao Bird, and give Zhang Guanjia justice. Only then did Zhang Guanjia stop complaining with satisfaction.
"The Yao Bird is here again!" Someone outside the house shouted and ran away, away from the Yao Bird.
Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye heard the noise and immediately put away their playful attitude, picked up their magical treasures, left the courtyard, and faced the Yao Bird.
"Two Daoists, be careful!" The village head told the villagers to be quiet and stay away from where the Yao Bird appeared.
Lu Yang gripped the hilt of his sword. As long as the Yao Bird had the slightest intention of attacking people, it would face a flash of cold light and be split in two.
Tao Yaoye took out a red paper umbrella. This was her natal magical treasure, the Thousand Illusions Parasol. When the paper umbrella opened, it was like a dream, and the enemy would drown in the illusion without realizing it.
Lu Yang carefully made a gesture, indicating that he would scout the way, and Tao Yaoye nodded.
The Yao Bird landed on a villager's house. Lu Yang was like a cat, walking silently, tiptoeing, and quietly approaching its prey.
Lu Yang was highly vigilant, his muscles tensed, ready to draw his sword and fight at any time.
Optimistically, the Yao Bird was at the Qi Training Seventh Layer. This was the best result. In the worst case, the Yao Bird was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Yao, and it would not be easy to fight. It would take some effort to win.
Finally, he saw the Yao Bird that had been troubling Taiping Village for twenty days.
The dark green feathers were extremely bright and glossy. From the corner of its eyes to its neck, there was a large area of red. The red and green colors were quite eye-catching.
Lu Yang recognized the origin of the Yao Bird at a glance. The Yao Bird came from the depths of the dense forest, feeding on figs and berries, and was good at imitating human speech.
It was a parrot.
