The mountain night is steep and cold, taking advantage of the moonlight, spreading the entire village.

In the middle of the night, in the guest room where Shifang was, a bean suddenly went out, and as the night deepened, it gradually disappeared in the calm of the night.

After a long time, Shifang, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, there is a problem, otherwise how could someone have been secretly observing him. After making sure that there was no movement around him, he quietly got up and gently pushed away the mountain night, like a ghost, gradually merging with the darkness......

The next morning, the sun was shining, Shifang stretched his waist, and walked out of the room, he looked at the money housekeeper who was waiting outside the door, and bowed down, "Amitabha, dare to ask the money housekeeper, the master here can have a gap." ”

"I'm sorry, spring ploughing is coming, and the master, as a village leader, has already gone to the field to inspect. Little Master, why don't you have some fasting first? Steward Qian explained.

"So a steward of labor." Shifang sneered in his heart, Shimoda patrolled? With his current physical condition, although he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, he was probably very reluctant to get out of bed within three days. Li Zheng, as the head of a village, and a remote Taiping Village, who can override Li Zheng and dare to hurt him like this?

It turned out that Shifang visited this house last night, followed the figure of Steward Qian, and found the residence of the owner here, he used his spiritual sense to spy a little, and he mastered the physical condition of this Lizheng, bedridden, not a disaster or a disease, obviously caused by being beaten by someone.

While thinking, Shifang came to the living room and looked at today's breakfast, well, it was already very rich, two side dishes, a bowl of white porridge, and two steamed buns. Shifang was not polite, and ate a big gulp, but he had another plan in his heart, what kind of excuse should he find to stay naturally, what a headache.

After breakfast, Steward Qian handed over a package, and he was stunned and asked in surprise: "I don't know what Steward Qian means?" ”

"It's just some entanglement, the little master may be able to use it on the road, there are places where the hospitality is not good, and I hope Haihan."

Eviction order? Looking at the sincere money steward, although Shi Fang was very dissatisfied, he still said: "The money steward is polite, the little monk is troublesome to the master's family, and he can't help it, how can he still collect these entanglements?" Amitabha, the little monk will leave. Shifang performed a Buddha salute with one hand and turned away.

A housekeeper who has served the head of the family for three generations will definitely not do such a rude thing. But how could you be so cautious about taking in a wandering monk? Shifang is more sure in his heart, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, the words of the soul thing, I'm afraid it's true, is it true that there are demons in this remote mountain village?

It's a pity that he doesn't know the current situation, and the communication between himself and the soul creature was a year ago, and it was the ghost of an old man in his sixties. According to his words, he has been bedridden, although his family did not tell him the truth, but from the words and changes in the family in recent years, we know that this Taiping Village has long been gone. Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, until they died, and when they walked to the side of the bridge, the old man still couldn't give up, and his tears flowed for a long time, and he even did not hesitate to kneel down to himself......

No matter what, you can't leave in such a daze, if you can't do it, then you can secretly investigate and be sure to find out the situation in this Taiping Village.

It would be nice if Senior Wu was here, with his experience in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how to deal with it? Shifang sighed.

The gate was in front of him, and the money steward and servants followed closely behind him, although Shifang was a little helpless in his heart, he had no choice.

Suddenly, there were three "bang" sounds, and there was a knock on the door at this time.

Steward Qian was a little surprised, and looked at the servants around him, it was still early, who would come to visit at this time in this Taiping Village? He looked at Shifang apologetically, and Shifang nodded in understanding and stepped aside.

Zhu Men still opened a gap, and through the gap, Shifang saw a familiar touch of Mo Lan.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, the old Taoist Wu Daozi, took the list of the town, and came here to subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, and I hope that it will be convenient, so I wish the old Taoist a hand."

Steward Qian's face turned pale, as if he had encountered something fearful, and he was at a loss for a while.

Shi Fang's heart moved, and he took a step forward: "This immortal chief, do you mean that there are demons in Taiping Village?" ”

"The yellow list posted in the town is proof, so is it fake? Little Master, I hope you should leave this place early, otherwise, you will be taken away by demons, but life and death are unpredictable. ”

"Is that so?" Shifang looked indignant, and Haoran was upright: "That little monk can't just leave, don't worry, the little monk has also learned some self-defense techniques, and it is more than enough for self-preservation, and the master here is sheltered by me, if you can do your best, it is incumbent on me!" ”

Steward Qian's body trembled, and he thought silently in his heart, how can this be good, something has gone wrong this spring, if the Taoist priest in front of him makes trouble again, my God, is there still a way to survive in Taiping Village? Full of fear, Steward Qian didn't notice that Shifang and Wu Daozi were secretly communicating with each other, and they were flirting.

"Senior Wu is clever!"

"The little monk is not bad, he still has a little bit of eyes, he will whip you with a stick, and he will wait for the opportunity."

It was a snake beating with a stick, Shifang was proud, and his voice suddenly rose a few points: "Immortal Chief, please come in quickly, Li is patrolling the field, I'm afraid it will be empty in the evening." "On the side of Shifang's body, he turned out to be anti-guest, and wanted to lead Wu Daozi in.

Steward Qian reacted at this time, and waved his hand again and again: "No, Dao Chief, our Taiping Village has always been peaceful, how can there be demons infested, you must be mistaken, right?" ”

"The name of your village is Taiping Village, right?"

Steward Qian nodded with a bitter face.

"Yes, that's right." Ignoring Steward Qian at the moment, he followed Shixiang to the courtyard.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Poor Daoist Wu Daozi."

"Amitabha, the little monk Shifang, I wonder if Senior Wu has had breakfast?"

"It's important to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and I can't take care of it all the way."

"The predecessors are high and bright, and they have the common people in the world, and the little monks admire them. Money steward, there are still ...... left Senior Wu has worked hard all the way, and this breakfast matter will trouble the old man. ”

Steward Qian had no master at this time, so he nodded helplessly, and after explaining a few words to the servants around him, he hurriedly went to the inner house.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shifang said: "Senior Wu, I was startled by saying goodbye without saying goodbye last night, but I didn't expect my predecessor to have other arrangements." The words are full of admiration.

"I'm a god." Wu Daozi stroked his mustache and replied, in fact, he was also improvised, acting in secret, and he always had to see it clearly. And, huh...... He thought of the wine in the gourd, although this Taiping Village is remote, but the wine is good.

For him to be an immortal, Shifang didn't believe it at all, thinking that he had been flattered by mortals for a long time, and he was used to it, so he ignored it at the moment, and continued: "Senior Wu, what should we do next?" Now the little monk has no clue at all, just now I said, Li is spring ploughing inspection, in fact, he is lying in the inner house at the moment, but suffering from the flesh and skin, I said that he is empty at night, in fact, I also want to see how to deal with it here. Hitting the grass can scare the snake, now I want to see how this patrol is justifying! ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I've already startled the snake, and I may not be able to justify myself."

Shifang was confused, and was about to ask what was going on, but found that the servant had already brought breakfast, Shifang glanced at it, and then became angry: This ...... How can this breakfast be so rich, there is meat!

"Senior Wu, you have breakfast first, and then talk about the Yellow List." Looking at the servants serving on the side, Shifang said politely, but tears flowed in his heart, suppressing the surging desire, resisting the smell of meat, Shifang felt that he was feeling like this at this time, even Ah Nose Hell was nothing more than that.

Wu Daozi was full of joy and whispered, "It would be better if there was wine." ”

When the servant heard this, he thought for a moment, and then went to fetch a jar of old wine, after all, the steward of Qian just now meant to treat them well, and there was no room for any mishap.

After Wu Daozi got the wine, he didn't bother to worry about the ten directions anymore, and ate and drank beautifully. And Shifang's face was full of depression and grief, and the servant next to him was terrified, for fear that he would do something out of the ordinary.

In the inner house, Steward Qian bent over, listening to the instructions of the master here, and his master was the head of Taiping Village.

Li Zheng, commonly known as Li Chang, is a mile long, in charge of household registration and tax payment, and can barely be regarded as a small village official who does not enter the stream.

Li Zheng surnamed Shi in Taiping Village, called Shi Tianwei, was lying on the bed at this time, and the dressing on his body was oozing red bloodstains, which was a little shocking.

I saw him say dissatisfiedly: "Steward Qian, why is this little thing stumped for you?" Shi Tianwei's voice was a little weak, he was in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally not good, "But one or two monks and Taoists from the traveling side will take some money and send it away." ”

"Master, I'm afraid it's not good. The little monk was no problem, and he was about to leave, but suddenly a Taoist priest came, saying that he had exposed the yellow list in the town, and he wanted to kill the evil spirits and eliminate the demons, so that the little monk would also stay, and insisted on repaying the favor of the government to help him, and even if I said that I could not drive them away. ”

"Oh? I see, there are still people who dare to expose the yellow list? It seems that this Taoist priest came prepared, he has not moved for a few years, and some people have forgotten the methods of the Great Immortal, so it can also divert the attention of the Great Immortal and reduce some of the guilt. Shi Tianwei laughed, but the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously affecting the wound.

He thought of the anger of the Great Immortal the day before yesterday, but it was really an accident, in the past three years, the villagers of Taiping Village have benefited from the immortal magic of the Great Immortal, the wind and rain are smooth, the grains are abundant, and the life is indeed rich. It stands to reason that the villagers of Taiping Village should be grateful and meet Daxian's requests, but it seems that those requirements are not as simple as they seem.

Shi Tianwei sighed and instructed Steward Qian: "Burn the incense given by the Great Immortal, in this state, we can't handle it properly." ”

Steward Qian answered and withdrew.
