Chapter 26 Picking up the job
I took a deep breath. When it comes to human hearts, it is really hard to understand. The difference between good and evil, the twisted soul, alas...
I thought this was the final ending, but the old man paused and continued to chant...
The first update is crying, the second update is laughing, the third update is gust of wind, the fourth update is crying, the wolf howling, the fifth update is... No one dares to get up early, and the cattle and sheep dare not eat grass without seeing the red sun. This is what began to happen the next night after Bai Xiaoyi's death. The old man was still shaking all over,
That resentment... That resentment is enough to carry the nine cows up and float. When it gets dark, every household can hear the sad crying sound from the small lake in the south. In the middle of the night, the crying disappears. It is a constant laugh. What are you laughing at? A heartless and righteous person is like a jackal. After a while, the dark and dark wind beat the window "hurry". Children dare not cry, and adults dare not speak loudly. Even the cattle and sheep in the yard hide in their nests and dare not shout, which is particularly terrifying.
In fact, no one of the villagers knows. Even blind people can guess what happened, but who dares to provoke such a person? He lived like a tigress before his death. He was killed by Ge Chunsheng inexplicably, and his resentment became even more serious. Ge Chunsheng and his current young wife did not dare to go out all day and night. It is said that after a day, a master who claimed to be a fairy mountain came. He ran to the small lake and took a look, and turned his head back without saying a word...
On the fourth day, the villagers found that the bodies of Ge Chunsheng and his young wife were lying horizontally in this small lake. Moreover, the small lake somehow became like this. It was strange and mysterious. There must be a saying that you have to be aware of, but you have to suffer the whole village. This is indescribable and reasonable, and you can't say it. Who dares to ask or say it?
When the old man said this, he was a little excited and said, "The villagers only hope to have a high-handed person and solve the problem. Even if they spend some money, if they can't make up fifty, they will only have a hundred. Everyone is willing to make up the money, so that's also happy."
I sighed with emotion and said, "Grandpa, don't say such words. Eliminating demons and defending the Tao is the duty of me who practices Taoism. I have nothing to say. As for that money... everyone is not rich people in the city, so I'll spare it. But I have to discuss it with my uncle who is accompanying me. I guess he is willing to take care of this matter. You always go home and wait, and I will go back to the ancient theater to find my uncle."
As for calling Zhang Zhenren my uncle, it is inconvenient to explain my relationship with Zhang Zhenren, so I simply call him uncle, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The old man was amused when he heard this: "That's a good thing. In this way, if your uncle is really willing to help, I will ask the village chief now to go and we will have all your food and accommodation. I will give you a basket of buns later, haha."
I did not refuse anymore, smiled and bowed with fists, and then left the old man for a while,
When he returned to the ancient theater, it was almost noon. He excitedly woke up Zhenren Zhang and handed the buns to Zhenren Zhang first. When Zhang Zhenren saw it, he immediately said happily: "You kid is kind. By the way, why are you back so late? Didn't you tell you to come back early? You guy is always disobedient."
I smiled and said, "You're always eating slowly. I know I was wrong this time. I won't be able to go and go back quickly next time."
"Huh." As soon as Zhenren Zhang was about to put the bun in his mouth, he immediately put it down again, staring at me in great surprise, and said, "Is the sun coming out from the west today? You kid... It seems that he has never admitted his fault. Is it that he was struck by lightning this time? Is it discovered his conscience?"
"Uh..." I smacked my lips: "Zhang Zhenren, look at what you said, am I always good? You just keep catching my shortcomings and refuse to let go. By the way, I encountered a strange thing here, I am afraid that you will have to nod to us before we can do it."
Zhenren Zhang frowned: "Strange thing, you...have you encountered something evil?"
"Um."
I nodded honestly,
Zhang Zhenren stood up suddenly and frowned: "You promised to take care of it."
"Well, you're really a clever idea, hehe."
I have to admire Zhang Zhenren's ability to predict the future. I thought that only the master would be so powerful. I didn't expect that Zhang Zhenren is really a real person who doesn't show his appearance. He is just a corpse driver. It's a loss.
"Fuck." Zhang Zhenren cursed: "You are troublemaker, I thought you kid really had a conscience, but why did you suddenly become respectful? Humph, after a long time of going out, you will know that you have caused me trouble. If you have the ability to take care of what you promised, don't call us, so I won't care about that mess."
My heart suddenly became cold. This old guy was even more unreasonable than his master. He refused without asking anything. He deserved to be a corpse-driver...
But I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say that. After all, I agreed to this with my chest. If I go out and say no, then I will lose all my face.
"Hehe, hahaha, look at you, you always like to be a little bit old when you are old. I know that you still have the same kind of sentient beings in your heart. In fact, if you do this in Sanyang Village, it will be a great merit. You don't know that Sanyang Village has happened recently..."
I laughed with me and told Zhang Zhenren the Blood Lake incident that appeared in Sanyang Village. At the end, I deliberately made the tone of the villagers who spent money to buy water in Sanyang Village, so that Zhang Zhenren could better feel the difficulty of the villagers.
"It's over."
I honestly focused my attention: "I'm done."
Zhang Zhenren immediately looked calm: "Boy, do you know the seriousness of this matter? Do you know how much time it takes to waste this matter? Do you know how important our 'customers' are? Humph, you don't know anything, you know that you are showing off outside. Now, people know that we are the uncles and nephews who travel around the world to kill demons and subdue demons, so we must not be offered up."
After being criticized by Zhenren Zhang, I felt like a bed bug. It seemed that even the shit was not willing to join me, but just as I decided to let go of this, Zhenren Zhang's eyes changed and hesitated and said, "That... since they asked us, they didn't say anything about repayment, such as... how much money they were willing to raise as a reward."
I was shocked immediately and patted my chest and said, "I'm going to tell you all the time. I really said this reward. Not only did I say that I was quite a bit too much. If you say that fifty yuan is not enough, you can make up a hundred yuan. As long as we can manage this matter, it will be a little bit, but I refused it. I said at that time that we practitioners should take it as their responsibility to kill demons and subdue demons. What money do you want? Besides, who is Zhang Zhenren? You are a hidden high-minded person, how could you be greedy for that little vulgar money?"
"Fuck." Zhang Zhenren shook his fingers, and the bun almost fell to the ground. He bit the bun hard, glared at him and said, "Don't talk to me about any hidden Taoism. I'm just a wild Taoist priest who is greedy for money. Besides, this trip costs only more than 100 yuan for a customer. You guys, you refused in one bite. Humph, you are unwilling to accept not to make me angry."
A row of black lines suddenly floated in front of my eyes...
The cold moonlight shone on the mountains and rivers, and the night breeze was blowing outside. Zhang Zhenren and I closed the gate of the ancient theater building, and then rushed straight to Sanyang Village,
On the way, Zhenren Zhang put on a light gray long gown he had just changed into, turned his head to glance at me, and said, "Don't get involved when talking to the villagers later, just drink tea."
I looked up at Zhang Zhenren, lowered my head immediately and said, "Yes, everything is always told by you. As long as this matter is under control, don't let the villagers peel off their skin..."
"You little brat..."
