Chapter 9: The South Continent and the Monks
It was the first time Gu Ming had seen this unclean thing that was often said in other people's mouths, and a thick black gas was wandering over the small Suojiazhai Village. I couldn't see anything in the black gas.
"It's amazing, little uncle, why do you sprinkle that water into my eyes, so that I can see things that I couldn't see before?"
"Is it magical? I said it was urine, do you believe it? Benkong looked at the erratic black air above Suojiazhai and said seriously.
"Really? So disgusting? Could it be ......" Gu Mingchao's little uncle looked under his crotch.
"You think too much, I don't have such a miraculous function, it's the tears of a rooster, just smear it on your eyes and let you see the ghostly thing. Your master really didn't even teach you this basic knowledge, right? ”
Gu Ming was a little frustrated, how much the master didn't want to see him. I have been in the school for two years, and the first person to teach myself knowledge is the little uncle who usually stays away. "Uncle Xiao, did I make the master unhappy somewhere, why didn't he teach me anything?"
Benkong looked at Gu Ming beside him in disbelief, he really didn't expect that this Gu Datou really hadn't learned anything from his senior brother for two years.
What a chance!
"It seems that Senior Brother doesn't like you very much, because he is too obscene! Big head, I think you will follow me in the future, don't talk about these little knowledge points of chicken tears, I will be no less skilled in Taoism than my senior brother. And I'm very optimistic about you! ”
Gu Ming almost collapsed, what kind of little uncle is this, he doesn't forget his weird habits at this time.
"Huh!" Gu Ming sneered, "Uncle Xiao, let's go into the village, it's dark!" ”
Fortunately, on the way into the village, the best little uncle didn't mention the matter of letting Gu Ming worship under his door. I just kept looking at the scenery and folk customs in the village.
After entering Suojiazhai, the sky has completely fallen into darkness. Only the flickering candlelight in the villagers' homes flickered slightly.
Gu Ming followed behind Benkong, and he didn't know who this little uncle was going to. Who exactly is this employer?
The village was not large, and the two of them walked almost leisurely to the open area in the center of the village.
"Why didn't we see anyone after we came over, Uncle Shi?" Gu Ming also grew up in a mountain village, and the children in the mountains didn't have much fun when they were young, just chasing and frolicking in the village's martial arts arena and practice ground, running and jumping. Whose children don't go home to sleep when they can't run anymore? The place in front of you is obviously the practice ground of this village, and it should be a lively time at this time, not to mention the human figure, not even a dog!
"Haunted, who would dare to come out!" Benkong's eyes were a little sharp, and he looked around. Suddenly, he pointed his finger in the direction of the right, "Big head, you go and ring the iron bell hanging on the big tree!" ”
"Why are you ringing the bell? Aren't we here to do things? Although Gu Ming was puzzled, he didn't talk much. Quickly ran to the big locust tree that five adults could hug together. Stretch out your hand.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang......" The melodious bell echoed in Suojiazhai, and the villagers who closed their doors and stayed at home heard the bell of the village practice ground.
Some villagers answered the call and walked out of their homes.
After the tea time, the entire practice ground was already full of people. Men and women, young and old, all stared at a young man, a teenager standing under the big locust tree.
The young man was dressed in a robe, with a black lotus crown on his head, and his appearance was dignified. The boy seemed to be standing beside him, carrying a leather bag in his hand, which was bulging, and at a glance he knew that it was full of things.
"Is it the true path of pure emptiness?" The crowd dodged through a passageway, and an old man in the age of a sixtieth birthday came supported by a young girl in a blue suit. It was the old man who spoke.
"This is exactly my senior brother, and the poor road number is empty. You are Mr. Wang, the village chief of Suojiazhai, right? The one who answered was Gu Ming's junior uncle Benkong, who had changed into a Taoist attire.
"Dare to ask Dao Chief, why didn't Senior Brother Ling come?" Mr. Wang, the village head, asked politely, without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.
"My senior brother has been refining a furnace of elixir recently, and he really can't pull out at the critical moment, so I asked me to do it for me. Next to him is my senior brother's apprentice, my senior nephew Gu Ming! Benkong did not annoy Mr. Wang's doubts, and explained politely.
It means that the senior brother really can't come, but I can naturally do it for me as a junior brother, and the apprentices of the senior brother also come to help, which shows that we still attach great importance to our employers. didn't just send Gu Ming, an apprentice, to fool everyone.
"I see, presumably you also heard the Daoist Ben Zheng say about the strange thing that happened last night in our Suojiazhai, the old man dares to ask, can the Daoist be sure to eliminate the panic of our villagers?" The village chief is also a person who has experienced wind and rain, so he naturally knows the meaning of Ben Kongdao's long words just now. I thought, don't care whether it's true or empty, even if it's true colors, as long as you can solve the crisis in our village so that everyone can continue to live here in peace, you will be a living immortal who came down to save the common people!
"Don't worry, the village chief, senior brother has already explained the situation to me. And they also explained the urgency to me. Village chief, where are all the girls who were injured last night? "Before Benkong came, my senior brother had already told him about the situation here. Naturally, I know that the first task is to save people!
"There were four children who were injured last night, all of whom were daughters who had not left the cabinet, and now they are all lying in their respective homes when they are frightened, and they are too frightened to get out of bed, and they are ...... The specific situation is still with me, you can see it at a glance! There are many people here, and the village chief has something unspeakable, so he bowed down and made a gesture of please. I hope that the head of the empty road in front of me will check the situation on the spot.
Benkong nodded, walked to Mr. Wang's side, and walked parallel to him.
Gu Ming held the heavy leather bag in his hand, threw it on his shoulder, and was about to follow. But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my head.
"The merit point system of the soul servant master of the underworld soul crosser, open!"
"Soul Crossing Gu Ming, Get the Task, Eliminate the Panic of the Villagers of Suojiazhai"
"Quest Success: Reward Merit Points +5, Soul Servant Promotion XP +10"
"Mission Failure: Black and White Soul Squire Sleep Time +5"
Although Xiao Bai had mentioned the matter of the merit points of the underworld before, Gu Ming didn't expect it to happen in such an unprepared situation. Gu Ming's mind quickly digested these simple task prompts, and the person naturally stood in place and stared ahead, motionless.
"Humph!" The girl in Tsing Yi snorted coldly at Gu Ming, who was in a daze. Don't overdo it, continue to support the village chief. Can't blame her for being angry, Gu Ming stood still and didn't move, and the position where his eyes were focused was the crisp chest of the girl in Tsing Yi.
"Barbarian, this little Taoist is a distinguished guest invited by our entire village, and he must not be rude!"
"Oh, I know grandpa!" The girl in Tsing Yi glared fiercely again, and Gu Ming, who came back to her senses, scratched her head and cried and laughed embarrassedly.
Only then did Gu Ming know that he had just been distracted by the merit system and stayed in place, as if he had made some rude move towards the girl in Tsing Yi.
"Her name was Man'er...... It's so good-looking......" Gu Ming couldn't help but admire in his heart. He noticed the girl in green clothes next to the village chief in the practice ground just now, her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyebrows were like the moon.
Seeing that the other party was still staring at his face, the barbarian bit his ear with his grandfather: "Grandpa, look, this person is so rude." When they met for the first time, did he want to see through people? ”
Mr. Wang smiled bitterly in his heart, his granddaughter is good anywhere, she is both filial and lovable, but she is perverse. You are good-looking, others look at you a few more times, can you still gouge out other people's eyes?
But Mr. Wang could only pat Man'er's hand a few times and signal her to be calm.
Although the barbarian in Tsing Yi was still not angry, he no longer dwelled on this matter. But she put Gu Ming on the blacklist in her heart.
The village chief and the man who was screaming at the head of the village, Benkong followed the side and naturally understood it, but he felt that he couldn't hold it on his face.
Turning his head and glancing at Gu Ming with disdain, he said, "Didn't your master teach you in the past?" The woman under the mountain is a tiger, see less! ”
