Chapter Twenty-Four: Lao Tzu is the temple blessing of Hu Bo
......
"You!
A rough roar sounded, and the bustling crowd in front of the temple was divided on both sides, and the faces of the villagers all showed fear and hatred.
Ao Yan looked into the temple and saw a sloppy man blocking the door of his temple.
The big man has dark skin, looks about forty years old, but is one meter nine tall, his arms are as thick as Ao Yan's thighs, and he is amazingly strong, and there is a scar on his face with a knife and axe, extending from his right eyebrow to his left chin, and his eyes are like copper bells.
At first glance, it feels extremely fierce!
In the shouting of the big man, Ao Yan stood aside with the crowd and heard the whispers of the villagers.
"This old man Xin is idle on weekdays, didn't he leave some time ago, why is he back now?"
"Alas...... With this bully here, life is sad!"
"What did he think of hitting the incense money of Hubo Temple?"
"Haven't you heard, this guy owed a lot of debt in the gambling house some time ago, and now he is being forced to go into debt......"
Since Xi Suosuo's words, Ao Yan understood the matter, this big man is called Xin Shi, this year forty two, when he was young, he was idle, and often bullied his neighbors, provoking people disgusted, and later was sent to join the army by the village Zhengzhi, and came back five years later, and at the same time, he brought back a soldier riffraff, which was even more annoying to the people in the village.
Although he is so old, he has not married.
Some time ago, I left the village to look for work in Mayfly Town, but I didn't expect to come back with a gambling debt today.
The gambling house forced the door to ask for debts, and after he finished sending it, he hit the idea to the Hubo Temple, insisting that he was the Hubo Temple Temple, and made a merit box, saying that Lord Hubo wanted everyone to donate incense money.
How could the people in the village believe it?
But I dare not be angry, I dare not speak, this guy is very powerful, I heard that he beat his superiors when he joined the army in the early years, so he was kicked out.
Such a person in the village is really no different from a scourge, one can fight a group, with a stick in hand, and the young people in the village can't beat him together.
Therefore, the villagers swallowed their anger at forcibly pulling them over to donate incense money this time.
After Ao Yan understood it, he felt that one thing was very strange, that is, Changming?
Shouldn't he have stayed in the temple to guard, how could he let such a thing happen? No matter how powerful this old man is, he is just a mortal, and it is not easy to punish him twice by means of long-term wisdom?
At this time, Changming may be wandering around the village, collecting what he has seen. ”
Ao Yan frowned and thought, if Changming is not here, if this guy is allowed to continue like this, won't his Hubo Temple have a bad reputation?
"This is not good, Xiangliu Lake is my territory, equal to my administrative territory, Hubo Temple is the foundation of my incense, equal to the source of my salary and political performance, both are indispensable. Now that I have finally unified the territory, I didn't expect the foundation to be unstable again. ”
Ao Yan's eyes swept over Xin Laohan, and he thought about it: "That's right, incense money is a lot of income, at least stable." However, the most important thing is the identity of the temple Zhu, with this identity, you can justifiably take charge of the temple. Although it would be a good choice to take this old man for his own use, but—"
Ao Yan shook his head, feeling that this guy had a bad reputation, and he had to do many things by himself.
Therefore, the position of this temple blessing must be done by himself no matter what.
In this case, then this bully Xin Laohan will have to work hard to get rid of him.
As soon as he thought of this, Ao Yan suddenly showed a smile, his body strength and speed have increased a lot, and he can take this opportunity to try.
At this time, Xin Laohan walked out with a red lacquer merit box, and people on both sides threw in copper coins one after another, some with three and some with five.
A fat old man voted for an article, Xin Laohan suddenly glared angrily, so frightened that the people around him didn't dare to breathe, this fat old man was almost scared to sit on the ground, trembling and taking out a penny, but Xin Laohan hadn't left.
This fat old man was sweating profusely, and he took out another penny in great distress.
Xin Laohan turned around and stood in place facing him with the merit box in his arms, looking at him with a pair of eyes so condescendingly, his huge body covering the scorching sunlight, adding a shadow to the fat old man's already bloodless face.
Ao Yan discovered an extremely strange phenomenon at this time, and all the villagers not only did not have sympathy, but also gloated.
"Huh, what's going on?"
He was having doubts in his heart, so he heard someone on the side whisper: "Hey! This is good! The wicked have their own wicked people to grind, this old man Ge has always been stingy with Yousheng Iron Rooster, but now that he has been plucked, he doesn't know what is the use of doing business to save so much money." ”
"Money is not brought in life or in death, this Ge rooster usually picks the door, and he deserves it! Looking at the appearance of the Xin bully, he has to bleed profusely. ”
"You see how distressed he looks, hehe! I don't understand, this old man has been shrewd all his life, why can't he think about money? You know, my old man asked him to borrow a piece of ginger last time, and this old guy actually asked for the door the next day. My old man returned him, but I didn't expect him to say that the ginger was only two taels, and the one who lent my old man was three taels, tsk, that day my old man was so angry that he bought a basket of ginger and threw it in front of his house. ”
"Don't mind, he's just like that......"
"Uh...... I didn't expect that Xiangliu Village, which looks extremely ordinary, still hides so many strange things. Ao Yan felt a sense of humor in his heart.
Curious, he urged Fu Zhao to see how the karmic debts of Bully Xin and Ge Rooster were.
It didn't matter what he saw, his face immediately became strange.
It turns out that the two of them have a prosperous longevity fire on their heads, Xin Bully Lu is vigorous, and Ge Rooster is prosperous, in addition, the two also have a common feature, that is, there is a red cloud above their heads.
"Xiangyun? This is strange, a bully, a miser, a bad reputation, and he doesn't look like a good person, how can he be supported by Xiangrui?"
Puzzled, Ao Yan simply didn't want to, so he waited for the development of the situation, and by the way, secretly calculated in his heart how to take the position of temple blessing to himself.
"You are very fierce......"
Finally, Ge Rooster, who had paid two pennies, couldn't bear it, and took out three pennies with a painful expression like cutting meat, and threw it into the box several times.
"Hmph!" the Xin bully snorted coldly, lifted the box and turned around, and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, the villagers learned to be obedient one by one, and even Ge Rooster could be scraped out for three pennies, not to mention others.
Soon, Bully Xin walked up to Ao Yan, his huge body blocking the sunlight, and shadows shrouded Ao Yan's thin, slender body.
"Huh?!"
The Xin bully's voice was slightly angry, and he intended to mention Ao Yan, but this sound came from his throat, like a faint thunder, Ao Yan was not frightened, but he scared others a lot.
After a sound of horror, the others left one after another, and Ao Yan's body suddenly emptied.
