Chapter Twenty-Seven [Fruitful Harvest]
The feast was so rich that the townspeople did their best.
During the banquet, the cups and shadows were intoxicating, and the villagers asked about the details of the demon eradication.
Mu Haotian recalled the experience of the past few days, he only felt that he had mixed feelings, and he didn't want to mention it too much, so he only picked out some important points, and the talk stopped, but it was enough to amaze the people of the Ordinary Sect.
In addition, Mu Dingzhen "inadvertently" revealed his means in the town earlier, and was regarded as "Dingzhen Great Immortal" by the townspeople.
From beginning to end, no one questioned the truth of the matter.
Although Mu Haotian had a clear conscience, he was really helpless when he thought of his master's ridiculous behavior. Intuitively, he must have expected it, and in the situation that everyone was looking forward to, even if he didn't succeed in getting rid of the ghost boy, he was afraid that he would be forced to lie.
Thinking about it, Mu Haotian's mood changed, sometimes happy, sometimes bored, and sometimes worried. But he didn't notice that Jing Ling looked anxious throughout the whole process, and wanted to ask him several times, but he couldn't interject.
When you are full of wine and food, it is already the middle of the day.
However, most of the people in the town still held red lanterns, and the avenue was clear, and everyone sent "Ding Zhen Daxian" and "Demon Killer Hero" to the local squire's courtyard before leaving.
The landlord here is the largest spice merchant in Zhixiang Town, and it is he who asked someone to find the Taoist Xuanwu Extreme Mountain to invite the master to go out of the mountain to eliminate demons, at this time he has personally sent a thank you gift, and after introducing the hall, he respectfully said:
"The humble house is despicable, but fortunately, the daily facilities are readily available, and tonight I will be wronged by the great immortals and the high-ranking disciples to rest in this room, this is a few small gifts prepared by the district, talking about the table of thanks, not respect."
It is said to be a thin gift, but it is full of real burdens.
Mu Ding is really dignified, and he refused again and again, but after all, he was very gracious, so he had to accept it, and finally said a few polite words, and sent off the guests with big sleeves, showing the majesty of the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
Originally, the landlord also gave a few attendants, but they were also sent away by Mu Dingzhen on the grounds that cultivators needed to be pure.
When the outsiders walked cleanly, Mu Ding Zhenzhi made Xiaopang close the hall door, and immediately the old eyebrows twitched, and the bright eyes of the black light thief turned around, and they changed their color in an instant.
With a sneer, his eyes shining with bronze light, rolling up his sleeves and rubbing his hands, how can he still have half of the appearance of a master in the world?
"Tian'er, Ying'er, Yan'er, don't be stupid, come on, come on! Open it up and take a look. ”
After calling for a long time, only the snow warbler came to help.
Mu Dingzhen rolled his eyes, turned his head and shouted to Mu Haotian and Swift who were full of disdain:
"Why are you looking at me like that? Among your senior brothers and sisters, one of them is counted, and he is very prosperous outside, but who knows how to give back to the sect and subsidize the family? It's not Master, I've worked hard, up and down, how can I feed you white-eyed wolf cubs? ”
"Eh~~~~ It's really the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!"
At the end, he sighed long to hide his tears, and he had the potential to do his best and burst into tears.
The brother and sister were obviously used to his pompous style for a long time, and they still pouted unmoved.
But the three new apprentices were so moved that they felt sorry for the master, so they clumsily stepped forward, opened the burden box and box, and placed it on the table.
Mu Haotian glanced twice, and saw that there were several pieces of jade, dozens of packets of local specialty resin and spices, a whole box of bottles and cans that I didn't know what to contain, and there were also two large boxes of yellow and white things that were most in line with the master's heart.
Now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, the situation is difficult, and this is a very fruitful harvest.
Sure enough, Mu Dingzhen's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't close his mouth, took the tea cup handed by Jingling, and drank it loudly.
Swift squinted at the table full of things, and said in a strange voice:
"Wow! The rich man of a small town can give such a generous reward, if the exorcism is done, I don't know how many treasures the big gentry and old lady in the city can give. ”
She didn't open which pot she wanted, deliberately teasing the master, waiting to see him blow his beard and stare at him.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ding really listened to it, but it was abnormal, and he didn't think it was angry at all, and he grabbed the jade instrument and said:
"What does the little kid know? People in the city are very chicken thieves, how can there be countrymen! You look at this jade toad, look at the color and know that it is a first-class color, this base is heavy, tsk tsk! That's enough to feed three rice buckets. ”
Jing Ling's three people ate a lot of food, and when they ate the banquet, they swallowed it like a tiger, and after the main table was swept away, they also swept the next table away, almost shocking everyone's jaws.
At that time, Mu Dingzhen frowned, secretly scolded the three rice buckets, regretted being under the door, worried that the mountain gate would be empty in the future, and secretly thought for a long time, how to let the three of them work hard to earn money to repay the teacher's kindness.
At this moment, he pointed out this matter, and it was nothing if the little fat and small Zhuang were sloppy, but he only knew that he was smiling, but Jing Ling was red ears, peeked at Senior Brother Mu, and lowered his head.
Mu Haotian touched her forehead to appease, and was afraid that the master's words would make her even more embarrassed, so he said:
"Master, then again, what's going on in Joaquin City? What kind of devil is the Tao that can't even deal with you? ”
He knew very well that although the master was usually careless, he attached great importance to the name of his own sect, especially the ghost hunting and exorcism technique that he relied on as his job now, and he would never smash his own signboard for no reason.
When he set off, he was confident, but he returned in Huajin City, and according to Shuangshu's description, the master went shopping and recreation without caring afterwards.
It's really abnormal.
I only heard Mu Dingzhen sigh and said:
"It's not worth it...... But it is really a man-made disaster, so we can't ignore it. ”
Unlike Shuangshu, Mu Haotian has always had high hopes from him, and he has long been blue, so he made an explanation.
However, these words were still unclear, Mu Haotian thought about it for a while, and finally understood that the young lady of the Qian family should be persecuted by demons, and her own small sect could not afford to provoke her, so the master could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Now that the new apprentices are on the side, this kind of behavior is not in line with his status as a grandmaster, so it is difficult to say clearly.
Mu Haotian felt quite disdainful, but he also understood that even the master couldn't help that person, and he was even more powerless, so he could only pray silently for Miss Qian at the moment.
Seeing that Senior Brother Mu was silent, Yuyan on the side picked up the conversation and chattered for a while.
She has a lively temperament, has no taboos in chatting, and is not afraid of the majesty of her master at all, and makes everyone laugh with just a few words.
Mu Dingzhen's hands were full of gold and jade, and he played with it diligently, and he didn't care about her.
As if returning to the Dao Xuanwu Mountain, the senior brothers and sisters talked at night, and now there are three more young junior brothers and sisters, although the mountain gate is small, it is like a morning dew and spring breeze, full of vigorous vitality.
Mu Haotian's heart was warm and warm, and he was about to talk to his master about what he had encountered in the past few days, to see if he could solve some of the confusions, and to discuss the countermeasures to deal with the "Sword Breaking the Sky Sect" together.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door.
