Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing in unison, red banners can be seen everywhere, yellow talismans, and doors must be pasted.

This is Guzhang County, the annual gathering of corpse expulsors.

In the past, Guzhang County was too poor, and the geography was barren, and it could not attract investment commercially.

As soon as this activity was launched, it was in full swing, the atmosphere was high, and the effect was surprisingly good, which brought huge economic benefits to Guzhang County, and now in the past few sessions, the economy of Guzhang County has almost doubled several steps.

This result made the local government happy to keep its mouth shut, and did its best to maintain every meeting of the chief of the corpse to ensure that every assembly was perfect.

Today, it is the annual gathering of corpse chiefs to arrive.

With the success and publicity of the previous times, this year's gathering of corpse expulsors is larger than any previous one, and the number of tourists attracted is increasing by 10,000 every day, so that the small county town has almost reached the point where the population is full and overwhelmed.

When Jiang Le arrived with the curly-haired mother and daughter, he couldn't help but be stunned by the lively atmosphere.

"Uncle, it's so lively here, my mother brought me here once before, but there weren't so many people at that time. Bei Bei held her mother in one hand and Jiang Le in the other, revealing a deep excitement in her big eyes.

Children love to be lively, and the more people there are, the happier they are.

Jiang Le came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's good to have more people, let's go, let's see what fun things are there in this corpse driving Dao Chief's gathering." ”

Stroll the streets. As far as the eye can see, the local families are wearing clothes from the Republic of China, and most of the shops sell Taoist things. There are talismans, talisman pens, bells, and mahogany swords. There are also people who sell glutinous rice, eggs, and red dates with strange names.

Such a novelty attracts a large number of tourists to watch. The business is so good that the bosses of every household smile from ear to ear.

"Ah, zombie!" Suddenly Bei Bei exclaimed, and his body couldn't help but stick to Jiang Le's body.

Jiang Le smiled: "How can there be zombies here?"

"Yes. Uncle, you see. Bei Bei pointed to a shop.

Jiang Le looked and found that this shop was selling carvings. And the carvings are still zombies and Taoist priests.

Looking carefully, Jiang Le couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Those zombies and Taoist elders are big and small, and the big ones are no different from real people. The small ones are only the size of a fist. But each one is vivid and realistic.

"It's scary, this zombie is exactly what I dreamed of. Bei Bei said with some fear.

Jiang Le touched Beibei's head and said comfortingly: "This is fake, don't be afraid." ”

After speaking, Jiang Le walked to the front of the store and picked up a small zombie the size of a fist to play with.

This carving is a small zombie, the Q version, which looks quite cute. But there are some things on it that give people the illusion of reality. It's as if this little zombie was real, or rather, it did exist.

Slowly, the corners of Jiang Le's mouth raised, revealing a hint of interesting smile.

At this time, a young clerk in the store greeted and sent away a few tourists who had bought zombie carvings, walked up to Jiang Le, and said with a smile: "This Taoist must have come to participate in the corpse driving Taoist assembly, but tomorrow is the main period of the assembly, is the Taoist chief interested in buying a few carvings back?"

Jiang Le raised his hand and asked, "How much is this?"

The young clerk smiled: "One hundred and eighteen." ”

"It's expensive!" Jiang Leyi raised his eyebrows.

The young clerk suddenly said seriously: "This Taoist, not that I boast about Haikou, this is all artificial carving, carved out with a knife, the carver is also a well-known master, just with this knife craftsmanship, it is worth a hundred, you look at this material, this is our Xiangxi local peach tree carving, the Taoist is also an insider, know the role of the Tao peach tree, right?"

Listening to what the young clerk said, Jiang Le smiled dumbly.

When the Taoist priest heard this, for the sake of his identity, he would inevitably meet a few words, to show that he didn't understand what Taomu was doing.

But Jiang Le is a true cultivator, and he understands that peach wood can ward off evil spirits, but it also depends on how you fiddle with it.

Ordinary peach wood, just broken from under the peach tree, contains the breath of life, can ward off evil spirits, drive away bad luck.

But once the vitality in the peach wood is gone, it is no different from ordinary wood, unless the cultivator carves the peach wood into a wooden talisman to preserve the vitality in it, and maybe it can maintain the effect for a few years. But it doesn't last long.

At the moment, this peach wood carved into a little zombie, even if Jiang Le used the magic eye, he didn't see what it was for. It's clearly an ordinary wood carving.

After glancing at the shop, Jiang Le looked at the young clerk and said, "The carvings in this shop are all carved by your boss, right?"

The young clerk was surprised: "How does the Taoist know about the Dao?

Jiang Le smiled and said nothing, bowed his head and said to Beibei: "Girl, is it okay for my brother to buy you a Taoist carving, so that you are not afraid of zombies." ”

Bei Bei said happily: "Really?"

Jiang Le nodded, and said to the young clerk, "Do you sell all the carvings in this store?"

The young clerk smiled and nodded: "Open the door to do business, as long as it is put out, it will naturally be sold." ”

Jiang Le said: "Okay, I'll pick one, you are not allowed to deceive customers, and you are not trustworthy." ”

The young clerk's face turned pale, and he said proudly: "Definitely not, the Taoist chief can also inquire, on this street, I am a safe carving shop, and the reputation is proper." ”

Jiang Le put down the zombie carving in his hand and walked into the store.

Without looking at the other large and small carvings, Jiang Le came directly to the divine cage in the store, pointed to a small Taoist priest the size of a thumb next to the half-meter statue of the Heavenly Master, and said, "I want this." ”

"Huh?" The young clerk was dumbfounded, there are so many carvings in this store, each of which looks very perfect, this Taoist chief doesn't want it, but wants to put it in the cage?

He looked carefully and found that this small Taoist priest was carved in black and red, covered with a layer of dust, and a little dirty, and he really didn't notice this little thing usually.

"This one is so dirty, how about the Taoist or buy a new one?" the young clerk asked with some embarrassment.

Jiang Le shook his head and said: "No, I want this, if it can be placed in the cage of the gods, it must have received incense, it must be supernatural, I bought it for the child to keep it safe." ”

The young clerk's eyes lit up, and he nodded mysteriously: "That's right, the statue of our shop god cage has been opened by a master, and the incense burns day and night, and over the years, there must be a spirit, but this spiritual thing is a little more expensive than the ordinary one." ”

Jiang Le smiled: "You say a price." ”

The young clerk looked at the little dirty Taoist carving, and said secretly, the thing is so small, it's not good to say that it's high, but if it is accompanied by a spirit, if it is low, wouldn't it be a loss?

"That's it, I see that you are also a Taoist master, and I will give you a fair price, 10,000 yuan. After speaking, the young clerk looked at Jiang Le seriously, wanting to bargain according to Jiang Le's expression.

"Okay, deal. Unexpectedly, Jiang Le didn't say a word and agreed.

The young clerk was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously regretted it in his heart.

I'll go, take a look, this guy wearing a Taoist robe, is actually such a local tyrant, I knew that Lu Dao added tens of thousands more, maybe it could be sold.

Jiang Le agreed happily, paid even more happily, reached into the yellow cloth bag, but quietly took out a bundle of money from the treasure money space, handed it to the young clerk, and then picked up the dirty little Taoist priest, with a thief smile, and quickly left the carving shop.
