Chapter 41: Borrowing the Sun Array
While he was hesitating, the innkeeper had already come out of the kitchen.
"Come, whether it's good or not, eat whatever you want. Hehe......" said the innkeeper with a smile.
I took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, can I tell you something?" ”
"Tell me what to say, young man." When the innkeeper heard that I had something to say to him, he was a little curious, and took a chair and sat down at the table.
The work of a cup of tea has passed. "That's the way it is." I patiently explained to the shopkeeper who Mei'er and I were and what was going on here. The innkeeper was obviously a little stunned, but after all, he was the owner of a shop, and he had seen a lot of the world.
He pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "It turns out that you are Mr. Yin and Yang, no wonder I heard that there are evil ghosts here, and everyone else is in a hurry to check out, but you are staying here." ”
"That's right, I don't know if you can help me find a few young and strong young men, uncle." I asked directly, after all, this Borrowing Sun Array is the most important thing to deal with this evil ghost.
"This ......," the innkeeper was a little embarrassed when he heard that I was looking for eight young and strong young men. But when he thought that because of this evil ghost, his business could not be done, and this time there was a person who volunteered to help this village get rid of this scourge, he really had no reason to refuse, but it was a pity, how could he let others go deep into the tiger's mouth if he was alone?
"What's the matter, uncle, are you having any difficulties?" Seeing the innkeeper's expression, I frowned and said.
"Are you sure you can deal with that demon?" The innkeeper looked at us in disbelief. I didn't speak, just nodded heavily.
"Then let's go to the village chief together! As long as he can agree! The innkeeper thought for a moment, then looked up at me and Mei'er. I smiled slightly, as long as there was hope.
I don't know if it's because of the evil ghost, the villagers who were originally on the road are even more invisible now, and the road in the village is empty. If it weren't for the seedlings in the field, the whole village would be like a deserted village.
"Bang, bang," the innkeeper knocked on the door of a relatively modest house.
"Who?" An old man's voice came from the courtyard.
"Village chief, it's me, Lao Huang!" The shopkeeper replied with a smile. "Oh, Lao Huang." After a while, I heard a "squeak", the door was opened, and out came an old man in his 50s, although he was older, his face was ruddy and his spirit was very good.
"What's the matter, Lao Huang, what's the matter?" The old man looked at me and Mei'er standing behind Lao Huang slightly, and then looked at the innkeeper and asked.
"That's right, village chief, do you know a little bit about the woods?" The innkeeper was a little cautious when he said this.
Hearing this, the village chief was also slightly stunned, and then said with a somewhat solemn face, "Alas, what's the use of knowing?" ”
The village chief sighed, looking a little anxious, he heard the innkeeper say that the village chief had also found a lot of people to deal with the evil spirit, but it still had no effect, and this matter had become his heart disease.
"Village Chief, let me introduce you, this is the apprentice of a certain Heavenly Master in a nearby village, he said that he can help us get rid of this evil spirit, and he doesn't charge a penny, just ask us to find a few young and strong young men to cooperate with him." The innkeeper patted me on the shoulder and hurriedly recommended it to the village chief.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, looked at me carefully for a while, and then shook his head and said, "This kid is only seventeen or eighteen, can he do it?" ”
After a pause, the village chief looked at the innkeeper and said, "No matter how terrible that evil spirit is, after all, he hasn't made a move against the people of our village yet, so he can't let the young man in our village send him to death." I disagree! ”
The village chief looked at me, who was still childish, and felt a little unbelievable at Lao Huang's words. Those things that an old man with decades of Taoism can't do, this little doll can? Isn't this a child's play on the lives of the young children in the village?
Before the innkeeper could speak, the village chief said again, "Lao Huang, you are equivalent to a representative of the village, I can't imagine that you have such an impulse in trouble!" I know you want to solve this matter as soon as possible, so that you can do business, and I am also anxious about this matter, okay, I will continue to find someone to solve it. You go back first! So saying, the chief turned and prepared to enter the house.
"Village ......" The innkeeper smiled wryly, he turned his head to look at me helplessly, and then shook his head.
I also saw the attitude of the village chief, and seeing that the shopkeeper was a little helpless, I frowned, but the matter was urgent, and I was about to open my mouth to try to persuade the village chief again, but at this time, I felt a fluctuation of power behind me.
I turned my head to look, only to see Mei'er's palm downward, and a piece of bluestone the size of the palm on the ground flew lightly into her hand.
Mei'er's hand shook slightly, only to hear a "poof", the hard bluestone was crushed by her like tofu, she patted the dust on her hands, while looking at the village chief and said, "I hope the village chief can give us a chance." ”
I was stunned by Mei'er's sudden movement, but when I looked to the side at the innkeeper and village chief who were looking at Mei'er in amazement, I smiled softly.
At this time, the innkeeper looked at the village chief and said, "Village chief, these two children are not from our village, but they are not afraid of life and death, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death?" That scourge will not be left behind! ”
The village chief came back to his senses, he frowned and looked at me and Mei'er, then sighed, and said with a wry smile, "Alas, it's okay, it's okay." I'll let you try, but the cost of trying it is too great. ”
Hearing that the village chief agreed, I glanced at Mei'er and the innkeeper, and then I looked at the village chief and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this time I will definitely get rid of that evil spirit." ”
The village chief looked at the smiling young man in front of him and nodded slightly.
With his decades of experience, he saw that this smile contained self-confidence, firmness and perseverance, and no one could shake it. I really don't know where his persistence came from? At this time, under the infection of this smile, he couldn't help but say in his heart, maybe, this young man can really succeed!
Mei'er and I followed the village chief into the house, and the innkeeper went to find someone at the village chief's signal.
After waiting for about an hour, there was a knock at the door.
"Village Chief." "Village Chief." ...... "Well, come, let's come in!" ”
Behind the village chief and the innkeeper, a total of nine people entered the house. The innkeeper nodded to me and Mei'er.
I smiled at him, and then looked at the eight men, all of whom were about twenty-six or seventeen years old, all dressed in short sleeves, with dark skin and strong muscles. Looking at these eight young men with strong blood, I nodded slightly.
"Little master, they are a few very capable young men in our village, do you think they can do it?" The village chief looked at me and asked.
I nodded and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Hearing me say yes, the village chief nodded, then looked at the young men standing aside, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows what is in the woods!" ”
As soon as the village chief's words came out, the faces of the young men changed slightly. A lot of people have died, and it's hard to think about it. "Yes." Several people replied in unison.
"Well, as you know, because of that, I've been looking for a number of gentlemen, but I haven't been able to subdue. It has now affected the development and security of our village. ”
After a pause, the village chief continued, "But today, these two little masters said that they can help us subdue that evil thing. As he spoke, the young men also looked at me and Mei'er with the village chief's gaze, and Mei'er and I stood up and nodded slightly to them.
"Huh? Such a young Mr. Yin and Yang? "yes, can they really subdue that thing?" "I'm hanging!" …… The lads whispered.
"Cough~" The village chief coughed slightly, and then they looked at the village chief with surprise and suspicion.
"But you need to help them. May I? The village chief asked.
"This ......" The young men looked at each other, this is a terrible thing!
"Your family is not rich in the village, and you are for the people of the village, so I will subsidize each of you with 500 yuan on behalf of the village." The village chief continued.
Hearing the subsidy of 500 yuan, they were a little moved, after all, for the villagers who rely on the mountains to eat, the 500 yuan is still attractive to them.
At this moment, the innkeeper, who had not spoken, said, "If you go, I will give you five hundred dollars each on my own behalf." And the two little masters are very powerful, you won't be in any danger! ”
I nodded lightly and said, "I promise, I won't let you get hurt!" ”
If the 500 yuan just now is tempting, then the current 1,000 yuan is attractive to them.
And with the promise I made, they looked at each other, and then made up their minds to say in unison, "We are willing to go!" ”
