Chapter Twenty-Six: The Monster in the Village, and the Taoist Priest in the Mountain

"The zombies have been solved?!" Rich Man Zhang opened his mouth wide in surprise, obviously not believing that the other party had solved a problem that hundreds of fierce mountain people could not solve overnight.

However, Yan Xu took out the letter from the head of the mountain village, and the rich man Zhang had to believe that it was true, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare a banquet and invited Yan Xu in to entertain him warmly.

Not every rich person is so arrogant and brainless, if it is according to the general plot, the next nine times out of ten is that the rich man Zhang does not admit his account, and after being taught by Yan Xu to suffer a loss, he secretly made a black hand, and if he failed, he invited a master from the side door to deal with him, and then Yan Xu killed the other party in a fit of anger, but he didn't know that the other party's youngest son was apprenticed in a certain sect, and when he knew about it, he secretly planned revenge, bringing Yan Xu a steady stream of trouble.

Rich Zhang is not so complicated, nor is he so idiotic, he can see that Yan Xu is obviously a real master, at least more powerful than the monk who died, so he is sincerely grateful, and in addition to the three hundred taels of silver that he said before, he also gave an additional one hundred taels of travel expenses, and the thing was done very beautifully, even Yan Xu couldn't find fault with it.

Rich people are good at making money, but if you want to make money safely, you must first learn to spend money, when you should start to fish, you can't have a trace of hesitation when you should pay money, Zhang Caizhu did it, so although he lost a few hundred taels of silver, but not only Dad's grave was saved, the mountain village was also rescued, and he inherited a favor, and in the future, the business of fur herbs was handed over to him to do, and he made a lot of money in terms of long-term benefits, and it took less than a month to earn back this bit of silver.

"People are sophisticated, and some people have stories. Yan Xu chattered along the way, recalling what he did when he met Zhang Rich twice, and had to admire the wisdom of the other party, this wisdom is not in learning, nor is it worth 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it is enough to make the Zhang family rich for three generations, this is the wisdom of life, although it is small, but it is indeed the wealth in life, and it is also what Yan Xu lacks.

Immortals, immortals, if you don't be a good person first, how can you become an immortal, Yan Xu suddenly understood why he was able to directly cross over to the coveted flood in his previous life, but he gave up his cultivation to be reincarnated in these three thousand small worlds.

Yan Xu, who had gained something, smiled, and the footsteps that he was used to stepping into the mountains and forests unconsciously changed, and he began to walk along the official road, saw caravans, followed the dart game, and passed through many villages and towns along the way, just to experience the various states of the world.

On this day, Yan Xu sensed from a distance that there was a demon qi circling in the distance, but for some reason there was no resentment, obviously this demon did not hurt anyone, which aroused Yan Xu's curiosity.

Most of the monsters will not be close to the gathering place of humans, after all, the general monsters are stronger than humans, if the courage is enough, the battlefield generals, martial arts masters can easily kill the demons, not to mention that there are many places where there are city gods and lands to protect the safety of the party, and there are many young heroes from famous families waiting to kill the demons to become famous, and if you really cause a big thing, you are waiting to be hunted down.

Therefore, those who dare to approach human villages and towns are either bold and ignorant demons who indulge in blood food, or demons who are proficient in the art of change and experience life.

Obviously, this one is the latter, so Yan Xu plans to take a look, this is the first time he has seen a monster with this kind of cultivation, and the beasts he encountered in the mountains and forests are either beasts walking upright, or idiots who open their mouths and close their mouths to eat people, and there is no way to communicate at all.

From a distance, this seems to be an ordinary village, just like the thousands of villages in Jingguo, where there are one or two hundred families, working every day at sunrise and resting at sunset, for generations.

If there are no accidents, this village will always exist, and if they are lucky enough in the future, they may develop into a new county seat, and of course, it may also be destroyed by some natural and man-made disaster, but this time they are in big trouble in advance.

Yan Xu walked on the country road, and could see that the farmland here was well maintained, obviously the villagers here were very hardworking, but it was not yet noon, and it was time to work in the field, but the farmland was empty, leaving only those crops that were a little short of water.

Even if the farmer encounters a big thing, he has to go to the field, otherwise he will delay the harvest for a year and the whole family will have to go to the old snacks, but it is obvious that there is something bigger than the sky in the village now.

Yan Xu took off the wine gourd, took a sip of peach blossom wine, squinted his eyes and looked at the village, and secretly said that it seemed that the monster that had blended into the village had been caught by the tail, which alarmed those villagers, and it seemed that this monster was a novice nine times out of ten.

As a village, the most important place is always the ancestral hall, and at the moment the only person who can gather the whole village is the village chief.

The village chief is also a scholar, although he has been a child all his life, but he is also a scholar, so he became the village chief of his hometown after giving up the scientific examination, which is more than ten years, but he has never encountered such a strange thing, so he can only let the strong man in the village tie up his poor child, and let Yao Lao Er throw off his legs, and take the one hundred taels of silver collected by the village to the Bajiao Mountain Qingfeng Temple to invite the real people in the temple to come and subdue the banshee who is entangled in his own Ang'er.

You must know that Ang'er is a showman, and she is the most promising genius in Yaojia Village, and the whole village will benefit at that time, exempt from miscellaneous taxes and labor, so even if that banshee saves Ang'er's life, for Ang'er's future, this banshee must also die.

Bajiao Mountain is not far from Yaojia Village, and it was unknown before, and no one knew how many Taoist masters there were in the temple, and there was no incense.

But now the reputation is not small, because not long ago someone saw a young Taoist priest in the temple with two boys to subdue a tiger demon who went down the mountain and hurt people, and was detained as a mount, all the way to the tiger back to the Octagonal Mountain in the crowd of onlookers.

However, the real person has a compassionate heart, pity the tiger demon is not easy to practice, and after a reprimand, he will be put back in the mountains and forests, and so far the tiger demon has not been seen to go down the mountain again to hurt people, which shows the majesty of the real person.

Since then, there has been an endless stream of people who go up the mountain to burn incense, and the Taoist name of the real person is also known to everyone, and it is widely spread, and since then the real person of Mingyue has become the most capable Taoist real person in a radius of ten miles and eight towns.

Now Mingyue Zhenren also has a great reputation in the county, even the county magistrate also gives a few thin noodles, but Mingyue Zhenren only likes the purity of Octagonal Mountain, so he once said that unless there are monsters, he will not go out of Octagonal Mountain.

Yaojia Village, not to mention compared with the county magistrate, a tax collector can make the whole village restless, and the village chief let Yao Lao Eroctagonal Mountain just try his luck, because he doesn't know who to go to, and it is estimated that the county yamen will not care about catching monsters, and they have no money to deal with the repeated demands of catching fast ones.

Fortunately, Mingyue Zhenren was as rumored, although he was younger, but when he saw the handkerchief that Yao Lao Er picked up from the monster, his face changed, and without saying a word, he brought all the magic weapons, and led the two boys down the mountain to Yaojia Village.
