Section 3: The Celestial Master Descends
As soon as Liu Xiaoyue went back to school in the county on Monday, he studied for a few days and Erniu could also say some words, and some simple meanings were understood, and now he has changed his name to Wan Erniu, originally Liu Xiaoyue wanted to change a nice name for him, but Old Man Wan said that it was easy to live by a cheap name, and Old Man Wan had always called it a egg before, but fortunately, his previous name sounded easy to feed, so he simply changed his surname. By the year here, he was eighteen years old. Old Man Wan is also very happy, some people are happy to farm the land, and there is nothing to do when they have time to beg for food. But the village is not * born these days, every household is not farming, they are all watching the livestock at home, for fear of missing a few chickens, Erniu still thinks it is a custom here, every family is rich, and they have to rest for a few days when they are busy.
This night, Murong Square convened a meeting again.
"Secretary Murong, why hasn't this Dao chief come yet? It has made everyone panic these days, and they can't live in peace. A peasant woman asked.
"Zhang Tianshi is a master of the Tao, where can I go down the mountain easily, I also begged and begged, he said that the immortals in the temple have not had enough incense recently, and he didn't dare to go down the mountain easily, in case the incense was broken, he couldn't afford it, so he also had more than enough strength to do it." Murong Square said with a helpless look.
"So what can I do?"
"Yes, you're still counting on going back to work in the fields! This land is barren, what can I eat next year? There was a lot of talk.
"It's not impossible to ask the Taoist chief to come down, but we also have to donate some incense money, don't we?"
"We have also had a difficult year this year, and we all rely on the young people in our family to go out to work and earn some money to support the family. Where is the spare money? ”
"Mu Zhishu, don't you know, my daughter-in-law left early, and the child is still in school, where is the money?"
"Yes, yes."
"In this way, I will personally take out two hundred, and I will give it a try and see if I can invite the Heavenly Master to come down."
"By the way, isn't it going to send food to make up for the difference? One person has more than 20 yuan, which is not much, so take it and ask the Heavenly Master to come down. The person who sang and harmonized with Murong Square hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes, not much, I'm in favor."
"No, I don't approve, I'm an old man, a single person, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, I don't believe what he can do"
As soon as Wang Laohan took the lead, several opposing voices were heard.
"Wang Jianguo, you are a king and eight calves, your parents died early, you were raised by me, now at this moment, why don't you have a snack? You can't let his family starve because you're alone. When everyone heard this, they accused Wang Laohan one after another.
Wang Laohan hesitated and relaxed: "Okay." ”
This is the herd effect, one person relaxes, and everyone responds.
"That's it, but you still have to sign the words that have been received!"
"Sign, sign." Everyone is in line with the Tao
As he spoke, Murong Square took out the form, organized everyone to sign it, and stamped it with fingerprints. This grain supplement is 40 yuan per person per household, which does not seem to be much, but excluding the two people in Erniu's family, there are a total of 134 men, women and children, which is 5,360 yuan.
Murong Square saw that everyone had signed, put away the form with a smile, and then said righteously: "I'm afraid that this money is not enough, so I will personally take out another five hundred to add a little incense to the Taoist chief." ”
Another day passed, for fear that Erniu would find out, this day the Taoist chief followed Murong Square overnight wearing a Taoist robe, and the guy with the circle of money came down, and Murong Square notified everyone of the meeting overnight.
"Hey, hey, onetwoshree. Let's be quiet, and now I would like to invite Zhang Tianshi to speak. Everyone applauds! After Murong Square finished speaking, he pushed the topic to Zhang Tianshi, and then applauded.
'Bang Bang Bang ......'
"Everyone, be quiet." Zhang Tianshi waved his hand to signal the applause to stop, and when everyone quieted down, he said: "Poor Dao has already calculated that there are demons in this place, but this Dao has long been hidden in the mountains and forests, and it is no longer about the world, but the cultivators take it as their responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and under the invitation of Murong Zhishu, they come to eliminate demons and subdue demons. ”
When Murong Square heard this, he actually left tears, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and was excited: "Everyone applauds Zhang Tianshi's greatness!" ”
The applause fell, and Zhang Tianshi said again: "But everyone should not be too happy, this demon Dao is profound, I'm afraid that even if the poor Dao can subdue him, he will have to lose me for decades Dao Xing......" Zhang Tianshi began to hesitate as he spoke.
The audience also began to discuss.
Murong Square knew the mystery when he saw it, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that this person was scheming, so he took out another thousand yuan and said, "Heavenly Master, this is a little bit of heart that I am waiting for, please smile." ”
"Hmph, what do you think of me? Money is something outside of our body for us cultivators. Zhang Tianshi righteously refused.
Murong Square had seen a shameless person, but he had never seen such a brazen person, so he immediately took out another five hundred, hurriedly stuffed it into Zhang Tianshi's pocket and said, "This is just a little incense that I donated to the Taoist Bodhisattva, and I hope that the Taoist will not refuse." ”
As soon as Zhang Tianshi saw Murong Square adding money, he changed his style and said: "Okay, Poor Dao will do his best, and say in advance, this incense money is not for me." ”
Murong Square is in pain now, he gave a thousand before he came, and he said that he would give another thousand here, but he didn't expect to be put on the table. "Have you ever thanked the Heavenly Master?"
Everyone hurriedly praised Zhang Tianshi's integrity.
"I have promised the villagers, you don't have to be polite, the old man has read the weather forecast...... The old man has calculated that tomorrow will be a sunny day, and tomorrow at noon when the sun is the strongest, it will be the time when we wait to destroy the demon, but this demon path is not shallow, so tonight you have to prepare a basin of black dog blood, and I will use it to subdue the demon tomorrow. ”
"But our village has always been a black dog, can you put a basin of blood?"
"Isn't there a black dog in Zhang Fugui's house next door? I heard that I have a litter recently? ”
"Yes, yes, go get it. Wan Erdan, you can go quickly," Murong Square said hurriedly.
"Brother Square, I can't catch this directly, people won't necessarily give it!" Wan Erdan hurriedly said.
Murong Square smiled again, and reluctantly took out four hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to him: "Go buy it, you have to return the extra money to me." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away." Wan Erdan took the money and walked away with a full face.
"Let's all disperse first, and gather here early tomorrow morning." Looking at the departing Wan Erdan, Murong Square said to Zhang Tianshi again: "Heavenly Master." I have prepared the food and drinks, and I have invited the Heavenly Master to come to the house for a drink. ”
"Good, good!" Zhang Tianshi said three good words in a row, and then left with Murong Square.
At this time, Erniu was still holding the old man's feet, and he was dreaming of eating stinky tofu while dripping with a hara.
