The villagers quickly relinquished a large open space in the middle of the ancestral hall.

Maybe it's the heavens that people want, maybe it's the Taoist who has been invited to practice, and God also gives face, what makes people happy is that the rainstorm just now has gradually stopped, and soon the sun broke through the dark clouds to illuminate the village, and the sun and dark clouds in the sky, I feel like they are like demons and immortals in the competition.

From ancient times to the present, no matter when and where such a thing has happened in this world, as long as the sun rises as usual, the bright light can always bring hope and comfort to people.

And at this moment, the fat Taoist standing in the middle of the courtyard brought hope to the villagers like sunshine.

Zhou Chu was crowded by the crowd on the side of the kitchen door in front of the past, a big yellow dog came in from the crowd, Zhou Chu saw it and called to his side, and then turned back to the kitchen to find two bones to give it, the big yellow dog bit the bone, intimate Zhou Chu, this big yellow dog likes to pester Zhou Chu on weekdays, Zhou Chu also likes it very much, often takes it down the water mountain together, can be regarded as his best partner.

Zhou Chu was blocked by the people in front of him and didn't dare to squeeze to the front for fear of being seen by the grandfather opposite, so he stood on the pile of firewood stacked at the door of the kitchen, and finally saw the appearance of the fat road chief clearly. The fat Taoist chief wore a Taoist robe, a male and female sword, a free scarf on his head, a yellow silk silk around his waist, and a mature linen shoe on his feet.

Zhou Chu suddenly felt a little curious and funny, could it be that if he didn't become a Dao Chief, he had to dress like this to subdue demons? But at this time, he didn't have the heart to think about this, he, like these villagers who joined in the fun, wanted to know what kind of mana the Dao Leader who had specially invited him had, and how he would subdue demons.

There was always a hint of arrogant sneer on the face of the fat Taoist, this sneer seemed to be confident in his own Taoism, and seemed to be contempt for these gray villagers, although he was not very old, he had been in the rivers and lakes for several years, and he knew the psychology of these onlookers very well.

The fat Taoist walked to the center without hurrying, put the floating dust in his hand on his chest, facing the ancestral hall with his back to the crowd, the two male and female swords on his back flashed silver, as if he could subdue any demons and monsters, and the fat Taoist began to close his eyes after standing still, his mouth moved slightly as if he was chanting a spell but could not hear any sound.

The villagers stared at the fat Taoist chief with wide eyes and waited for him to perform the exercises, although there were many people, there was no sound, but the fat Taoist chief stood motionless and refused to perform the exercises.

The aroma of the roasted meat in the kitchen is even stronger, Grandma Shen and the two cooks don't seem to care about what demons are at all, for them, making mouth-watering human delicacies is more important than anything, so although the courtyard of the ancestral hall is overwhelming, they can only hear the crisp and elegant collision of pots and pans in the kitchen.

In the past month or two since the strange thing began, the villagers not only have no income but also dare not go up the mountain and water to hunt, and the dried game is also kept as much as possible for the future.

In this way, everyone's patience became lower and lower under the torture of anxious waiting and the smell of sauce and roasted meat, and the village chief also began to wonder why the Taoist chief did not look at Fa Gong for a long time, and suddenly understood what he meant, and quickly turned his head and gave Wu Zi a look standing behind him, and Uncle Wu Zi immediately hurried into the house and took out the fifteen taels of silver that the villagers had put together in the past two days and handed them to the village chief, which had been wrapped in a bright red silk cloth.

The village chief took the silver and stepped forward to bow respectfully to the fat Taoist chief, and then said: "Presumably, on the way here, Erniu and others have told the Taoist chief about the strange things in our village, and now the people in the village are panicking, and they don't know what this harmful thing is, and why they want us ordinary people, so I bother the Taoist chief to help us find out......"

"Don't worry, since I am willing to come down to you, I must subdue those monsters. Fat Dao Chang sneered.

"However, there is one thing I want to explain to the Taoist first, our village has been fishing in this white water lake for generations, and there has never been a conflict with the river gods, so I want to ask the Taoist chief first to ask the water gods what is the reason, so as not to hurt the harmony......

"I understand what you mean, but before I do that, ask the water ghosts in the water to see if they are doing it before I make a decision. ”

"That's the trouble of the chief. Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lifted the bag of silver in his hand.

Because it was all broken silver made up by the villagers, the silver in the red silk package made a crisp and loud sound, and the fat Taoist heard the sound of the silver and slowly turned around to face everyone, he opened his eyes slightly and glanced at it and quickly pretended not to care about the silver, but finally showed a smile on his face, not as cold and arrogant as he was just now.

"We cultivators should not have taken your ......silver to subdue demons and eliminate demons," the fat Taoist priest said politely.

"Why do you need to be polite, consuming your Qing cultivation has made us feel guilty, and if there is anything wrong, please ask the Taoist to speak up. "Grandpa's words are sincere and not polite.

The fat Taoist chief glanced at the village chief and the villagers, and was very satisfied to see that they were so sensible, and a trace of smug look was fleeting in his eyes.

The fat Taoist nodded and smiled in satisfaction, and then finally prepared to show his mana.

Fat Dao Chang first took a long breath and began to be lucky, the expression on his face changed suddenly, serious and sharp, he began to chant the spell again, but this time the speed of the mantra became faster and faster, and although everyone could hear it clearly, they couldn't hear a word clearly what he was reading.

After reciting the incantation for a long time, Fat Dao Chang's body shook, as if injected with divine power, and the whole person became very magnificent.

He raised his hand and waved the dust in his hand lightly, and read "up" one by one.

The red silk cloth bag containing silver in the hands of the village chief flew up out of thin air, the burden slowly rose, higher than the top of everyone's heads, the fat Taoist continued to wave the floating dust in his hand, and the red silk cloth burden was under the command of the floating dust, and then crossed the top of everyone's heads, and floated into the house through the window of the east house of the ancestral hall.

The villagers let out a burst of exclamation, and the fat Dao chief was very proud, and said, "I won't touch your silver until those ghosts have been subdued by the poor Dao." ”

The villagers once again expressed a burst of admiration, just now everyone thought that the Taoist chief was a person who loved money, but now they couldn't help but feel guilty for their ignorance.

Da Niu stepped forward and bowed to the Taoist: "As long as the Daoist can subdue those water ghosts, we will go back to your temple every year to offer ten taels of silver, just ask the Taoist to protect our Linshui Village from now on, and no longer be harmed by demons and ghosts......"

Although this was just a whim of the big cow, but the crowd was silent and there was no objection, the village chief wanted to stop the big cow, but when he saw the villagers like this, he had to give up.

For the villagers, it used to take some silver taels to worship the water god every year, but now the water gods not only do not protect them but want their lives, and the master in front of them can protect them, so everyone acquiesced to Da Niu's self-assertive proposal.

The fat Taoist knew that everyone was still not satisfied, so he was ready to cast another small spell.
