Adjacent to the water town.

Huaili Village.

The village is located in a mountain col, surrounded by locust forests, hence the name, Suningan's patrol team, the first day to go to the place is here.

The team leader is the fat man who dislikes Suningan.

The fat Taoist surnamed Lan, Lan Junyan, I heard that he is a martial artist in the skin grinding realm, looking bloated, but in fact, his skin is thick and thick, and he is extremely powerful, he once wrestled with the angry bull, grabbed the horns with both hands, resisted the impact of the bull, and forced it to the ground.

This is what Suningan heard from his companions on the way.

A group of four people, in addition to Lan Junyan and Su Ning'an, there are also two miscellaneous Taoists, and along the way, there are always two guys boasting about Lan Junyan in their ears.

I set off early in the morning, drove dozens of miles of mountain roads, and arrived at Huaili Village when it was close to noon.

Under the big locust tree at the east end of the village, the village chief had already waited there with several leading figures in the village, and when he saw them, he greeted them very respectfully.

The banquet was prepared long ago, and as soon as the guests arrived, good wine and food were served.

Lan Junyan's shelf was very high, and he greeted all kinds of smiling faces, not smiling, and Wang Taizhong, the handyman next to him, motioned to Su Ning'an and asked him to do so, with the same straight face.

Before the banquet, the village chief took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Lan Junyan.

"Dao Chief, a small meaning, not a respect!"

In a village like Huaili Village, in addition to paying taxes to the government, there is also a sum of incense money sent to Changning Temple every year, which is actually the cost of changing the charm, and it stands to reason that there is no need to spend it.

However, there are unspoken rules beyond the truth.

Privately, the village still has to raise a sum of money to bribe the Taoist who comes to exchange talismans.

Otherwise, they are worried that the Taoist people will not do their best, and the lives of the whole village are important, and there is no room for mistakes.

After taking this thing, Lan Junyan immediately changed his attitude.

The original flat face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Su Ningan and the two miscellaneous servants also had a share, but the weight of the bag could not be compared with Lan Junyan, he looked at it, and there were some broken silver in the bag, about one or two.

"Are you happy?"

Miscellaneous servant Wang Taizhong asked in a whisper in Suningan's ear.

Su Ningan smiled and nodded.

"Hey!"

Wang Taizhong sighed and glanced at Lan Junyan.

"Actually, we were unlucky, we followed the blue fat man, and we were assigned to the neighboring water township, so we could only drink some gruel and eat some leftovers, unlike those guys who went to the vicinity of the county seat, and a trip to the village was enough to make a fortune......"

He looked at Suningan and frowned.

"By the way, how did you come to patrol the village?"

"Although there are benefits to patrolling the village, but the benefits are not so easy to take, a trip down, it is also a loss of qi and blood, miscellaneous servants like me and Lao Li, there is no future, just make money and make a living, you are a Taoist child, and you have the opportunity to be promoted to martial arts, and you are about to take the big exam, for this little bit of scattered silver, you have lost your blood and blood, and you can't draw it!"

Su Ningan pointed at himself with a wry smile.

Wang Taizhong suddenly realized.

"Also, looking at you like this, you will definitely not be able to pass the big exam, and it is also good to prepare in advance for the future...... If you want to stay in Changning Guan as a handyman, at least this number! ”

Wang Taizhong rubbed his fingers at Su Ning'an.

"Don't look at us as miscellaneous servants, out of Changning Temple, down Peach Blossom Mountain, there are not many who dare to offend us!"

Wang Taizhong smirked.

Su Ningan still smiled and didn't speak.

Just like that, chatting like this, it didn't take long for the banquet to end.

Start getting down to business.

Before the sun went down, it was necessary to replace all the yin stoppers, so Lan Junyan called them to him, divided the area, and assigned tasks.

There are fifty-eight households in the west of the village, which are allocated to Suning'an.

The task was heavy and the time was tight, so Suningan hurriedly carried a wooden box containing a yin stop charm and walked to the west under the leadership of a villager.

"This is Zhang Dawang's family, Dawang is not at home, he works in the county, only the Hun family and the children are at home......"

Villagers knocked on the courtyard door.

"Sister-in-law, are you at home? Changed the charm. ”

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman in her thirties walked out, and behind her, there were two little radish heads, grabbing the corners of her mother's clothes on the left and right, looking at Su Ningan timidly.

Look at the dress, the environment is not very good.

"Hello, this little leader."

The woman bent down to say hello to Suning'an, some hesitant, some reluctantly handed him a small purse, and the purse jingled.

"The hard road is long, a little heart......"

Suningan turned his head and glanced at the villagers who led the way.

"Dao Chief, this is what you deserve!"

The villager said with a smirk.

Suningan was in a trance.

Yes, he is short of money and needs money.

However, the big husband has something to do and something not to do!

"No need."

Suningan smiled.

"Eldest sister, keep it and buy some delicious food for the children."

Then, Su Ningan turned around and took off the yin-stopping talisman that was pasted above the courtyard gate, and the yin-stopping talisman that had been hanging for nearly a year was not very spiritual, and it was easy to take it off.

"Dao Chief, you are such a good person."

Listening to the sound of gratitude in his ears, Suningan smiled and didn't speak.

He took out the probe and stabbed it lightly on the index finger of his right hand, and a bead of blood rolled on the finger.

Holding the yin stop charm in his left hand, he touched the index finger of his right hand lightly, and the blood beads suddenly soaked in, and faintly, there was a blood light swimming along the rune.

He couldn't help but shudder.

It's like a 40-degree heat outside and then suddenly entering a cold storage with dozens of degrees below zero, the taste is extremely sour.

This is the loss of yang.

The Yin Stop Talisman must use this wisp of Yang Qi to release the spirituality locked in the rune, so as to prevent the Yin Spirit from entering the house, and at the same time, it can also be tightly attached to the door, even if it is stormy, it cannot be destroyed.

For the person who changed the symbol, this loss of yang is nothing.

However, if the number of times reaches dozens of times, you can't ignore the consumption, a patrol village, often come back to cultivate for two or three months. Wang Taizhong and other miscellaneous servants only have two or three layers of qi and blood, and their foundation is thin, so they can't withstand too much attrition, so it is inevitable.

Su Ning'an is different, with nine layers of blood and blood.

In the realm of burning blood, he has already attained great perfection.

Qi and blood are abundant, and this consumption can be replenished with just one breath.

However, Su Ningan did not use his skills to dispel the coolness, he staggered, his face was pale, and he struggled to paste the yin stop charm in his hand on the courtyard door.

"Okay, change one."

"Dao Chief, do you want to take a break?"

The villager asked quietly.

"It's fine!"

Suningan patted his chest.

Then, bidding farewell to the woman who had been thankful for a thousand kinds, he went to the next house.

After walking a few houses, Su Ning'an's face became more and more pale, and at this time, the villagers who led the way led him to a small courtyard with a single family.

The yard is located on a ridge with a bamboo grove behind it.

"Dao Chief, let's take a break, right?"

The villagers were worried.

"It's completely in time, so you don't have to rush so much."

"Hmm."

Suningan nodded.

"This is Orion Zhang's home, I'll take you in to sit and ask for a bowl of water to drink by the way."

"Babble."

The villagers pushed open the half-hidden courtyard door.

"Lao Zhang, the Taoist who changed talismans is here, bring a bowl of water to the Taoist chief!"

He shouted.

"The water is in the kitchen, you bring it yourself."

Inside the house, a rough voice came impatiently.

At this time, Suningan had already entered the courtyard, and a banyan tree was erected in the middle of the courtyard, with a green crown and a stone table and stone bench below.

Suningan sat down on the stone bench.

The villagers entered the kitchen, and after a while, they came over with a bowl of water and a smile.

"Dao Chief, the countryman, there is no tea, only water, and I will take a moment."
