Chapter Twenty-Four: The Truth Comes Out
"Little Immortal, what's going on?"
As soon as Xie Xiaoman came out of the well, the village chief couldn't wait to ask.
Xie Xiaoman looked at the misty moonlight, and was in a trance because of what happened in the underworld, and at this time, when he saw the anxious look of the village chief, he slowly came back to his senses.
"Things are already in the dark, but don't rush. There are some things that I ask the village chief to forgive me, but I can't say much yet. It's just that the village chief can rest assured that the matter itself has been resolved by seven or eight points. ”
The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to Xie Xiaoman again and again.
Xie Xiaoman helped the person up and said lightly: "The village chief should rest first, there are some things that will be discussed tomorrow morning."
Where did the village chief dare to disobey, he promised to go. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at Xie Xiaoman twice, and asked hesitantly: "This courtyard is unusual, does the little immortal master want to change places to rest?"
Xie Xiaoman said that he didn't need to, and went into the room by himself.
The village chief thought to himself, he was really a master of art and bold. Ordinary cultivators were already frightened to retreat just by walking into the courtyard, but this little immortal master was so young that he dared to sleep here, it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves!
Xie Xiaoman's mood was still a little trance, at this time, where did he know the village chief's thoughts, just took out the jade pendant and groped, feeling the power of faith, only felt as if it was sunshine, although it was just a simple touch, you could feel the warmth.
This is the power of faith! Guo Pu walked in the world, constantly exorcizing ghosts and demons to leave a name, in addition to turning merit into cultivation, in order to accumulate the power of faith.
It's just that I don't know how these powers of faith should be transformed into cultivation. I'm not in a hurry for this kind of thing, just ask Guo Pu tomorrow.
is the matter of private money, although it is already known that someone is making trouble, but how to catch the culprit of the matter still depends on some means.
In this regard, Xie Xiaoman already has some plans in his heart, and it is not too late to use it tomorrow.
As for tonight, after a dream, it's better to meditate and sleep more realistically.
That's all! I'll talk about it tomorrow.
……
……
On the second day, Guo Pu slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, and after getting up, he still wanted to drink, and Xie Xiaoman came over and said a few words, and then his expression changed slightly and became serious.
The two said something in a low voice, Guo Pu nodded slightly, and glanced at the village chief.
The village chief hurriedly walked over.
"Is the principle of ghost worship in the village something that everyone in the village will participate in?" Guo Pu asked.
The village chief shook his head and glanced at Xie Xiaoman with some embarrassment: "The rule in our village is that only men participate in the memorial."
Xie Xiaoman didn't feel annoyed, after all, this is the case in many places, she felt that women were yin by nature, and she could be ghostly and so on, and she didn't mean to correct this kind of thing. She just thought of something, and asked lightly, "Are there many people in the village who can write?"
"The little immortal master is really joking, in a place like our Huangye Village, there is not even a private school for enlightenment, and if ordinary children want to study, they have to go to the town ten miles away to study."
"Can the village chief help make a list? All the people in the village who can write. ”
"It's not that hard, and it can be written right now. However, in fact, you can count it with your fingers, and you don't necessarily have to make a list. ”
"It's useful to make a list," Xie Xiaoman said, "If the village chief can write it now, it would be great!"
The village chief did not shirk, found pen and ink, and achieved it overnight.
The list is short, but the names of six people, including the village chief himself.
When the village chief was writing with a pen, Xie Xiaoman kept standing behind him and watching, and after a while, he shook his head at Guo Pu.
Guo Pu lowered his head, looked at the names on the list, and asked, "Are these people in the village recently?"
"The Yin family's filial piety and the second son of the Li family are not at home all the year round," the village chief was a little puzzled, "Do these things have anything to do with private money?" ”
Guo Pu smiled silently.
Xie Xiaoman had no choice but to smile lightly: "The village chief will know later."
After the village chief went suspiciously, Guo Pu sighed slightly: "You are also a chance, I knew it was like this, it would be good if I didn't drink so much last night." Otherwise, wouldn't the person who met this opportunity become me. ”
Xie Xiaoman stuck out his tongue at him and said, "If people look at you like this, they probably don't bother to give you this thing." Besides, you are a dignified Immortal Master Guo and famous all over the world, do you still care about such a little bit of faith?"
"That's all right, this kind of opportunity, it's better to give it to your juniors." Guo Pu continued to stink, casually pointed to the names of the other three people on the list, and instructed, "This shouldn't be a difficult thing for you, right?" ”
"I'll give it a try." Xie Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
Holding a blank talisman in his hand, Xie Xiaoman took the lead in knocking on Wang Xiucai's door.
At this time, Xiucai can be different from the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, although it is also famous, but it is not selected for the imperial examination, but recommended by the village, and filial piety is the same nature.
Wang Xiucai opened the door, Xie Xiaoman showed the Fu Seal, and said with a smile: "Guo Xianshi said, thank you for the care of the villagers in the past two days, I can't repay it, so I have to help you pray for blessings!" Ask Wang Xiucai to write his name on this talisman seal, and the effect of praying for blessings should be greater. The ordinary illiterate people have no such blessings. ”
Wang Xiucai's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly wrote his name, and kept saying some kind words to Xie Xiaoman.
Xie Xiaoman didn't bother to say much to him when he saw the handwriting, so he only said that he was in a hurry, so he went to find the next person on the list.
This method has been tried and tested many times, although Zi Bu is strange and confused, but for scholars, it is always good to be able to pray for free, let alone a famous immortal master like Guo Pu.
When Luo Yu, the only bookkeeper in Huangye Village, wrote his name on the talisman seal, a smile flashed in Xie Xiaoman's eyes.
With the result, Guo Pu invited the village chief back and told the cause and effect of the incident.
"As for whether the village chief wants to make this matter a big deal or use it to warn everyone, it is up to the village chief to decide."
The village chief couldn't believe it for a while, and there was an incredible look on his face: "Luo Yuluo's account office has always been diligent, how could he do such a thing."
"The lust for profit is consumed, and the private money used to sacrifice to the ghosts is precisely the right thing to flow through his hands." Xie Xiaoman shook his head and sighed.
"If the village chief doesn't believe it, the immortal master can also use some spells to make him tell the truth...... Guo Pu interjected.
The village chief smiled bitterly and sighed: "No need, when did you miss what Immortal Master Guo said." Besides, as long as the private money does not need to be doubled, it is already a blessing for the whole village. This time, I would like to thank Immortal Master Guo and Little Immortal Master!"
