Chapter 267: West Window Candle Remuneration

"Oops! Michigan! Why did the Taoist fall to our side?! ”

"Quick...... Hurry up, stone monsters...... The stone monster is coming! ”

"Dao Chief! You, how can you bring trouble to the east? We are all powerless mortals, haven't we been killed by you for nothing! ”

"I ......" The yellow-clothed trail struggled to barely stand up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, obviously the injury was not light.

"Run, everybody! The stone monster is coming! A new round of life and death began to be staged again, and the yellow-clothed trail was knocked over again, and a hand held the yellow-clothed trail's arm in time.

"Dao Chief, be careful!" Chang'an held the yellow-clothed trail and secretly cast the [healing] skill to save people to the end, but don't let the people she managed to save from the feet of the stone monster be trampled to death by these people again.

It was originally used to fix the unconscious Wang Baochuan on the scarf on his back, but she was used as a rope to pull the yellow-clothed path into the crowd just now, and finally narrowly escaped.

If that group of people knew that it was Chang'an who saved her, she would definitely be scolded as the "culprit".

"Gaofuyuan, you take the Taoist chief, Mei'er hurry up, let's run together!" After Wang Baochuan was woken up by Chang'an, it only took a moment to understand the situation in front of him, and ordered decisively.

"Yes." Gao Shiji's performance was quite calm, and he had been strict with his duties to protect his master wholeheartedly, and when he heard Wang Baochuan's words, he immediately set up a yellow-clothed path, holding a silver spear in one hand.

After a moment of respite, the four Taoist priests had already gotten up and shouted "Array" for the first Taoist priest, and the other four people shouted in unison, and the Taoist priest who was supported by Gao Shiji also broke free from the support, and jumped into the air and fell between the four people.

A moment ago, he was seriously injured and died, but after hearing the order, he jumped up and fought like a chicken, attracting the sideways eyes of the other brothers.

The stone monster was attracted to turn around and turn back to deal with the five people, and the people who were still fleeing just now hid in the distance and consciously gathered together, looking up at the air, only to see the yellow clothes flying, the rune paper came out frequently, and the stone monster's every move was carried by the whistling wind, and every time it landed, the mountains shook.

The Taoist priest headed by the leader suddenly stomped heavily on the ground with his left foot, shouted loudly, raised his right hand on his shoulder, and knotted his vajra fingers, as if he carried the power of the five lakes and mountains to meet the giant fist of the stone monster.

A huge explosion burst into the sky, and the body of the stone monster began to break inch by inch from the palm of the hand, boom and then fall, and before it could hit the ground, it was cut apart by the yellow light behind it.

The Taoist priest at the head offered a small pouch embroidered with runes, and as soon as he recited words, thick black smoke flew towards the pouch from the stone pile on the ground.

When all the black smoke cleared, and then looked at the pile of stones on the ground, which turned into powder in an instant, and a gust of wind blew away without a trace, and the valley had returned to its former calm except for a little dark.

The crisis was resolved, and everyone rushed forward to thank the Taoist priests with the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe on their faces.

The battle against the giant stone monster was obviously not small, and several people were damaged, and after the battle, several people sat down cross-legged on the spot to exercise pranayama.

At this time, people were able to see the faces of the five Taoist priests in the face, young and handsome, with a face like a bright moon, a calm posture, and a figure like a fairy, especially the Taoist priest who was the leader.

Chang'an was as sluggish as everyone else, as for whether the others were impressed by Yushi's immortal demeanor or overwhelmed by this peerless face, Chang'an was shocked by that face anyway.

Later, what others said, and what a little Taoist priest replied, Chang'an had no time to take care of it, and the repeated thoughts in his heart were all about that person, until he was awakened by an angry shout.

"Phew! The stinky Taoist is really a stinky Taoist! Aren't you afraid of insulting the first Qingming of the Heavenly Master of Yunjin Mountain?! ”

"That's it! Aren't you outsiders? Why do you need to be contaminated with the smell of earthly copper? ”

"Besides, it's not us who begged you to save your lives, it's your willingness!"

"Hahaha...... the little Taoist priest laughed and clapped his hands and walked to the front, looked at everyone, and said, "When we came just now, I heard a lot of people shouting 'Daoist help', why did I hear it wrong?" ”

"That'...... That's what someone else shouted, we didn't shout! ”

"Oh? Okay, the person who shouted for help just now should pay first, and benefit ten taels of silver per person. ”

"Ten taels? So expensive?! In Chang'an City, it is only two or three taels at most, you, you even ask for ten taels of silver for a lion's mouth! It's clearly blackmail! ”

"Is ten taels expensive? Is your life worth ten taels of silver? The little Taoist priest smiled and glanced around seriously with a look of confusion, as if thinking about the certainty of the question.

"It's not expensive! It's not expensive at all! If there is no Xiaodao elders to rescue us today, we will definitely die here, don't say ten taels, even one hundred and two thousand taels, it is worth it! Xiaodao Chief, we are a group of five people, this is fifty taels of silver, please accept it, thank you for saving your life! ”

A middle-aged man in the crowd responded heartily, holding a purse in both hands and sending it to the little Taoist.

The little Taoist priest took the purse and said, "Uncle has insight!" However, our Yunjinshan has always charged fairly, and Tong Suo is not deceived, saying that ten taels will be ten taels, and he will never raise prices casually. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper folded into the shape of gossip and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Since the uncle is a cheerful person, then this peace charm will be given to you, which can drive away evil spirits and keep you safe." ”

"Huh? And there are giveaways? Thank you Trail Chief, thank you Trail Chief! The middle-aged man happily accepted the peace talisman and carefully placed it close to his body, these Taoist elders have a good spell, and the talisman they send will not be bad.

Some people start and there are no longer many people who persevere. Come to think of it, it costs more than these coins to hire a bodyguard, not to mention that it was indeed a fluke to save their lives just now, and those who were stoned and eaten by the stone monster could not exchange their lives even if they gave tens of thousands of family fortunes.

Just like the little Taoist chief said, although the Taoist priest is a cultivator, he is also a human being, if everything is free, it will not let them all drink the northwest wind, and the magic clothes they wear on the runic paper may not be free for others, so there must be a fee. Even if you invite the gods, you must offer a pillar of incense.

Gao Shiji prepared a silver tael at Wang Baochuan's signal, and the little Taoist priest glanced at it but confiscated it, and said, "My senior brother Ling said that the silver taels of this lady and the domestic servant cannot be collected." ”

"Everyone else has received it, why doesn't this one accept it?" Immediately, some people raised doubts and expressed injustice.

The little Taoist priest sneered, "When Senior Brother An was attacked by the Earth Tyrant just now, only the three ladies came to help, so naturally we couldn't accept their money. ”

"Shhhh Isn't it just a little Taoist priest, which is also worth thirty taels of silver? ”

"Naturally, it is more than thirty taels of silver, we owe Mrs. a favor, if Mrs. is in trouble in the future, I will not stand idly by." The little Taoist priest has clear grievances.

"The Taoist chief is serious, and he is ashamed of the grace of helping each other, so thank you for saving him." Wang Baochuan took Chang'an and Gao Shiji to hurriedly step forward to thank him, and the little Taoist politely returned the salute.

The others were really envious and annoyed, they knew that this was the case, and they had just taken a hand, it was better than being knocked out now.

After paying the "protection fee" one after another, people began to clean up the scene to see if there was any luggage and materials to try to save, but the dozen or so people were lucky and still stubbornly refused to give in.

"Senior Brother Ling, we have rescued a total of thirty-six people today, in addition to the three of the lady, there are also these thirteen people who are suspicious and refuse to pay the remuneration." The little Taoist priest received the money with joy in his eyes, and expressed his merits to his senior brother, and did not forget to complain.

The Taoist priest who was called Senior Brother Ling nodded, there was no unhappiness on his face, and said, "It's okay, the situation is urgent, it's not right for us to act first, and now we have to respect everyone's choice, but fortunately, we only have to save rock falls and ground storms in this Wushao Ridge." ”

What the Taoist priest said was an understatement, but people were frightened when they heard it, and someone asked in a trembling voice, "Dao... What do you mean, Daoist? What do you mean by 'except for'? Isn't there a monster in this mountain? ”

"yes, and besides, did you keep spinning in circles when you ran away? Again, you see that the sky is as dark as dusk, but now it is clearly past noon. The little Taoist priest took over and explained vividly.

"Ah...... Ah......" A group of people looked around vigilantly and hid behind several Taoist priests in a panic, "Daoist help!" Help, Chief! Pray for the chief to bring down that monster! "The stone monster is already dying, where is there a way to survive if there is another monster?

"Dao Chief! We've just paid our money, and we hope that the Taoist elders will save people and save them to the end, and bring down that monster! ”

"That's not possible, some of you want to descend and some don't, we are very embarrassed."

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed! I also ask the Taoist to ignore the past suspicions, forgive us for the sins of ignorance, we are all willing to give the reward, and please the Taoist deign to descend to the monster quickly! When life and death have a price, no matter how unwilling they are, they can't be stubborn, and those people before instantly changed their faces and said flatteringly.

The little Taoist priest took the money, checked it and returned it to them, saying, "This money is not enough." ”

"Not enough? How can it not be enough, there are thirteen of us, ten taels each, a total of one hundred and thirty taels of silver, no more, no less. Exactly, huh? ”

The little Taoist priest smiled, "Ten taels is the price of Fang Cai, and now, it's one hundred taels per person." ”

"You...... You guys... How can you take advantage of people's danger to sit on the ground and raise prices? Not a gentleman's doing! ”

"The little Taoist also said that each person is ten taels, and Tong Su is not bullied, why has it changed now? Besides, I didn't bring enough silver taels with me when I went out! ”

In the face of questioning, the little Taoist priest was not ashamed, and said with a smile, "You also said 'Fang Cai and now', the price of Fang Cai and the current is naturally different, most of you are merchants, so the price of your goods is always the same?" And you are not children, how can you say that I am lying in vain? Also, you can borrow the two before you have enough silver, don't you check your friendship at this time? ”

The little Taoist priest was clever and intelligent, and he couldn't deal with those people with his words, so he had to scrape together enough silver taels to hand it over.

"Senior Brother Ling, let's hurry up to Suzhou, these coins may come in handy as soon as possible." After the little Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned to everyone again, pouted and said, "Don't think that we are greedy and forcibly accepted your silver taels, as the so-called 'law is not empty', you should understand the truth that karma is difficult to bear." Moreover, all this money is to be used for disaster relief, and you can be regarded as having done a good deed and accumulated merit. ”

"Ah, I've heard of this, saying that there is a disaster in the northwest, and the rumors have reached the point of eating Yizi, I thought it was a false rumor, but the chief of the small road said that it was a disaster relief, but it was true?" The previous middle-aged man asked.

Before the little Taoist priest could say more, he was pulled by another Taoist priest and said, "Senior Brother Hui, don't say much, have you forgotten the instructions of the master?" Ladies and gentlemen, the evil demon of Wushaoling has been eliminated, so let's say goodbye. ”

Seeing that the five Taoist priests had turned to leave, Chang'an couldn't help but shout, "Wait!" He chased after him, ran to the Taoist priest who was the leader, and asked expectantly, "Shen Yu, do you remember me?" ”

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, his face was puzzled, and then he gave a Taoist salute and slowly replied, "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, girl, you have recognized the wrong person, the poor Taoist name is Xuanling." ”
