14 The law is null and void
Thinking of this, Zhao Daliang coughed and gently pulled the old Taoist priest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I said long, when we weren't sure it was a zombie, we weren't too scared, but now it's confirmed that it's a zombie, why am I so unsure."
"What, why aren't you down-to-earth?" The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Daliang's appearance, it was going to be a moth. Originally, the old Taoist priest planned to flicker twice, so he took the opportunity to slip away, but listening to Zhao Daliang's tone, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave for a while.
Sure enough, Zhao Daliang spoke:
"Dao Chief, it's not that I'm verbose, don't blame me for speaking abruptly. It's not that I can't believe in your Taoism, but since this zombie has come out and eaten tribute, it means that he hasn't been killed by this law, right? As for what you said, whether the remaining soul on its body will be reincarnated after this ritual, and whether it will be reincarnated, none of us know. Even if you help us clean up this zombie this time, we have to see the effect, right? So, I'd like to ask the Taoist to stay in the village for a few days, and then go back when I'm sure the zombies aren't messing around. Otherwise, if you make trouble again, you will have to go to the temple to invite you back, which will be more troublesome, isn't it? ”
When the old Taoist priest heard this, his heart sank, "Yes, this money is really not so easy to earn." ”
His heart sank, and his face sank with it, pretending to be annoyed.
"I said Village Chief Zhao, aren't you still doubting my Taoism, don't you believe that I can get rid of this injustice? If you don't believe me, why would you have come to invite me earlier? "The old Taoist priest's words are not good, and Zhao Daliang has no score in his heart, so he doesn't dare to slack off.
"No, no, no," Zhao Daliang waved his hand again and again, "How can it." I'm sure you can get rid of this demon. However, I and the old and young masters of our village have never seen the world, and I am really scared of being troubled by this thing, and I seem to have more than a dozen buckets in my heart, seven up and eight down. With you here, we are at ease and sure. So you have to stay for a few more days. Everyone said, isn't it? ”
Village Chief Zhao knows how to use the power of public opinion, so he shouted at the villagers watching the excitement inside and outside the courtyard gate. Some of these villagers are really scared, and some are very tricky, knowing that this old way must have made a lot of money by doing this law-breaking thing, and they are unwilling to let him go easily. Therefore, almost all the people who watched the excitement said, "Yes, yes, the Tao has to stay, stay." ”
The old Taoist priest looked at this posture and knew that he really couldn't leave, but he still made a very embarrassed appearance, "What Village Chief Zhao said is also reasonable, you are afraid, and I understand it." But there are a lot of things in our Taoist temple, and I can't do it without me. If I go a day late, I have to delay it for a day, and this loss is not small. ”
When Zhao Daliang heard this, he thought in his heart, "If you want to talk about a broken Taoist temple, how much loss can you have in a day?" It's nothing more than growing vegetables and raising chickens or something, whether you go or not? Thinking so in his heart, but Zhao Daliang also knew, "Since the old way has said it, it is if you don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle, you must still want to cheat more money." I know it's a trap, and I have to drill into it, who called this village a zombie? Who told us to count on this Taoist priest to help? ”
Village Chief Zhao had no choice but to say, "Dao Chief, let's do this, our matter here is big, and the matter of your Taoist Temple is not small, we have delayed your disposal of the Taoist Temple, and we can't help it." We are willing to pay you fifty yuan a day, and we will entertain you with delicious food and drink. Done? As long as you get this zombie thing done, you can say anything. ”
The old Taoist priest didn't want money, he just wanted to find an excuse to slip away. But this village chief Zhao also lost money, and his mouth was money. As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. What's more, he wanted this Taoist priest to stay in this village for a few days. Lao Dao was about to promise at that time, but thinking about it, he agreed too quickly, and the turn was too fast, and he couldn't save face. So he still muttered, "But if I stay, the junior disciples and apprentices in the temple don't know why I don't go back, so I don't have to worry?" He said that, but he didn't insist on leaving.
"That's not easy to do, so I'll ask this little master to work hard and go back to report a letter." Zhao Daliang pointed to the little Taoist priest who had just come out of the house and had not yet figured out what the situation was, and said, "Just say that the chief has a relationship with our village, and he will stay for a few more days, and for other things, please ask the masters in the temple to work hard and dispose of it by themselves." What do you think, Chief? ”
Abide by the old way and see that Zhao Daliang has arranged everything, and between the words, it seems that he is not allowed to question it, and he is also offered a salary of fifty yuan a day, how can he refuse. So he spread his hands, "That's the only way to go." ”
The old Taoist priest agreed to stay, and Zhao Daliang's family and the onlookers were relieved.
Liu Orion, who came early, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Daliang aside, "Village chief, since everything has been negotiated, then this final payment ....." Liu Orion is afraid that there will be extraneous branches, in case this old Taoist priest leaks out about the incense money, it will be troublesome. He planned to settle the money as soon as possible, and then find the old Taoist priest to fool him out, as soon as the money arrived, he would flee with his whole family, not stay in the village, and go to the town to avoid trouble. At that time, even if the old Taoist priest shook out the money, Zhao Daliang couldn't find him.
But Zhao Daliang was not a fool, and replied in a low voice angrily, "What are you panicking about?" Why do you speak for the old Taoist? Can you guarantee that this zombie is really gone? If we don't get it right, we have all the money settled, and people won't have to slip away early? I've already said the ugly things in front of me, in case this matter is not done well, his old Taoist priest will take a hard-earned money at most, and the excess will have to be returned. Want to empty the gloves of the white wolf and deceive me of six thousand at once? There are no doors. After speaking, he turned around and ignored Liu Orion.
Liu Orion saw that this matter was no fun, and the village chief's tone was quite cold, so he didn't dare to say more. Anyway, it's already more than 1,000 yuan, so let's get out of the way early.
Thinking of this, Liu Orion casually agreed a few times, went out to go home, and cleaned up the move.
The little Taoist priest here set off to return to Shangtouguan on the same day, while the old Taoist priest stayed and lived in the village committee of Xiatou Village, staying for more than ten days.
These days, Zhao Daliang sent his wife to be entertained with good vegetarian dishes, pasta, vegetables, and fruits are not missing from the old Taoist priest, and he lives a leisurely life, eating, drinking and playing, and has nothing to do in the village during the day, and stays in the village committee at night to brag nonsense with Zhao Daliang's family.
On the other hand, Zhao Daliang was not idle, avoiding the old Taoist priest to organize the Orion Mountain Guest and the medicine farmer in the village, and went up the mountain to search to see if there were any new dead things.
For the sake of safety, Zhao Daliang ordered these people who went up the mountain to basically work in groups of three, take care of each other, and turn back immediately as soon as there was any situation. It's important to try to save your life.
The people who entered the mountain were divided into eight teams, and everyone summed them up together, divided the scope of the search, and each was responsible for one piece, how far to go into the mountain, and which places to check by whom, all of which were discussed. Then they set out together into the mountains. Those who can go together try to go together, and those who can't go together should also be accompanied by three people in the team. Everyone was very worried in their hearts, afraid that anyone would be unlucky enough to meet the zombie and be in trouble, so they were also very cautious.
The time required for these eight teams to enter the mountain and then come out is not short, including the preparation time before and after, the time to enter and exit, and the time to search, which is more than ten days in total.
The old Taoist priest stayed in the village for more than ten days, that is, the village chief Zhao sent people into the mountain to search for more than ten days. Lao Dao didn't know this, and thought that the village was waiting for those dead things to appear, but Village Chief Zhao took the initiative and arranged all this.
After the search team set off, Village Chief Zhao was scared, and he didn't know what the result would be. After waiting for more than ten days, and after the teams came back one after another, his mood sank to the bottom.
Because each group, more or less, found some dead objects and brought them back to the village. And these dead things are more numerous than before, and larger than they have been found before. Among them are leopards, black blind beasts and other beasts, which shows that they are more powerful than these beasts. And among these dead things, there are more primate monkey apes.
Seeing those dead apes, Zhao Daliang was even more frightened. He always felt that the monkey had eaten too much, and maybe he was about to start eating people. Monkeys are almost the same as humans, whether it is the wild words of this country or the scientific theory of evolution, they all think that this ape is the same as humans, close relatives. The monkey on TV is no different from a human.
When the last search team returned to the village, Village Chief Zhao couldn't sit still at all.
The only thing he could be thankful for was that all the members of the search team had returned safely, and none of them had an accident. He didn't expect any of the eight search teams to come across the zombie. Everyone was able to come back safely, but there was only one problem, and that thing didn't seem to have started to attack people yet.
But on current trends, the ape population accounts for a larger proportion of all dead animals than before. From this point of view, it is only a matter of time before the zombies harm people. And this also shows that the old Taoist priest's ritual is basically useless.
We must find a way to deal with this thing as soon as possible, this is an urgent matter.
So when the last search team moved all the dead things into the firewood room of the village committee, the village chief Zhao Da unceremoniously brought back the old Taoist priest who was wandering around the village.
Zhao Daliang angrily pulled Lao Dao into the firewood room, and said to him coldly, "Dao Chief, you can see this for yourself." ”
Zhao Daliang sent a team to search for dead animals, but he avoided the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest didn't know what to do, and pretended to be disdainful, "Village Chief Zhao, didn't you see it last time?" Why do you tell me to see it again? What can be done by looking at these? Why don't you burn it? The smell is unpleasant, and it is not comfortable to look at. ”
Zhao Daliang saw that he was still arranging the score, so he didn't get angry, "Dao Chief, you can open your eyes and see clearly." I have already asked someone to burn those last time, and these things in front of you are all found by the mountain households in the village who ventured up the mountain to find them in the past ten days after doing the Dharma ritual. ”
As soon as the old Taoist priest heard this, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but hurry up to check, only to see that these dead things were the same as the last time, they died unexpectedly, and there was no blood left, and this time after careful inspection, it can be seen that their faces showed an expression of extreme fear before they died.
While the old Taoist priest was watching, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, and the weather was not very hot, and the sweat just couldn't stop.
