Chapter 127 Fake Immortal Master

It wasn't until Li Wan recited the mantra that Shen Yuexi realized the impact Ma Pu had had on Xiaogang Village.

What do you think Maple is?

She didn't ask Li Wan. She went out of the yard and caught Aunt Sun squatting under the shade of a tree peeling garlic from a distance to ask.

Aunt Sun had tipped her off about the gift of money from the shopkeeper in Dongji Town. This aunt couldn't keep her mouth shut and she had to tell her if she found out.

Aunt Sun looked embarrassed at first and couldn't resist Shen Yuexi's insistence, so she secretly told the situation.

The villagers had long spread the word privately, and Yang Cong's mother was the most enthusiastic one, saying that the prince of Xiliang was possessed by an evil spirit. Not only did everyone worship the old statue in the newly built temple in the village, but they also worshiped it on their doors Secretly posted spells to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons.

All this was hidden from the people in the village from her and Maple.

She was escorting the captives to the border and was not in the village. Mepu was the prince of Xiliang, so no one could afford to offend her. Only Mrs. Li saw everyone talking and asked Aunt Sun about the reason, and gave Li Wan a spell to ward off evil spirits. .

After Shen Yuexi knew all this, she looked at her yard and saw that there was also a spell posted on the corner of the door. She had never noticed it before, and it was probably Mrs. Li who had posted it.

She really couldn't laugh or cry.

No wonder there wasn't even a soul outside Maple's yard all day long. She thought it was because of good intentions, asking everyone not to disturb the patients. It was because everyone was afraid of being possessed by evil spirits.

Just stick the spell on it and don't tear it off. Ancient people were quite superstitious. Before the war, they worshiped the gods to make crossbow arrows. As soon as the battle was over, the gods changed their ways to protect everyone from getting sick. They are really almighty.

This is good, as she can treat Mipu with peace of mind. Once cured, she will tell everyone that the prince has recovered, and things will be over.

However, what happened next made her unhappy.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yang Cong knocked on the door.

"Madam, get up quickly," Yang Cong whispered through the crack of the door, "something happened in the village."

Shen Yuexi was sleeping in a daze while hugging the quilt. Yang Cong shouted several times before waking her up from her sleep.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Shen Yuexi stretched and thought: Yang Cong usually knocks on the door very loudly, why is he so sneaky today as if he is a thief?

She got up and got out of bed and opened the door for Yang Cong first. She closed her eyes and said, "Why are you doing this..."

"Shh..." Yang Cong almost reached out to cover her mouth, "Ma'am, keep your voice low, don't let the neighboring yard hear you."

The yard next door?

It seems that this matter has something to do with Maple.

Shen Yuexi went back to get dressed and said, "I won't speak loudly. You tell me what happened in the village."

"Madam, there is a child who is also possessed by an evil spirit. Everyone says that the evil spirit in Prince Mei comes out to cause trouble at night." Yang Cong said while looking at the yard next door, as if the evil spirit would jump over the wall at any time. , "Everyone is gathering at the temple now."

"Yang Cong, didn't I tell you that Prince Mei just had a disease called leprosy?" Shen Yuexi speeded up her dressing process, "Others don't understand, so why are you confused too."

"But something is definitely wrong. The child was fine at night, but suddenly he had a lot of big bumps in the middle of the night..."

"Ah...is there such a thing?"

A big bump suddenly appeared on the child's body. What's going on? Let's go over and have a look.

"Everyone thinks it is a sign of being possessed by an evil spirit, and it will be as scary as Prince Mei in the future," Yang Cong said worriedly, "No wonder the young master doesn't let you get close to Prince Mei, he is also afraid that you will be possessed by an evil spirit... Oh, isn’t that Miss Li already haunted by evil spirits?”

Yang Cong thought of Li Wan delivering meals to Mi Pu every day and helping him take medicine. It was inevitable that he would be haunted by evil spirits.

Shen Yuexi smiled and pushed her: "Stop talking nonsense, I think I'll scare you."

Ever since she came to Xiaogang Village, she and Yang Cong have been together. They were chased by the Xirong people together, and they fought against the Xirong people together. After getting along with each other during this time, she felt that Yang Cong was a nice girl. She just suffered from a little lack of education. , she believes everything others say.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Yang Cong said anxiously: "How about we move quickly..."

"Okay, don't mention this for now," Shen Yuexi took the lead towards the door, "Let's go to the temple and have a look."

"But madam..."

"Oh, I told you not to mention it, I'm here."

The two of them went out in the dark and walked along the street to the center of the village.

As the population continued to increase, the size of Xiaogang Village also became larger and larger. In order to worship the gods who helped make crossbows during the previous battle with Xirong, everyone built a small temple next to the village square to worship the gods.

When Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong rushed to the square, a dark crowd had already gathered in the square. Hundreds of torches illuminated the square like daylight. Everyone seemed to be afraid of evil spirits and only dared to talk to each other in low voices. There was only one child crying. echoed loudly in the temple.

It seems that the sick child is in the temple.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

A voice that suddenly appeared in the temple almost frightened Shen Yuexi and caused her to fall down.

Firstly, the voice was too sudden, and secondly, it sounded familiar to her, so she was a little distracted and almost tripped over the stone under her feet.

Just as Yang Cong was about to call the people in front of her to make way, Shen Yuexi pulled her and signaled not to disturb everyone. The two of them walked around from behind the crowd and approached the temple.

This voice is slow and slow, and it sounds so familiar.

"Li Zheng, if I want Pindao to exorcise this child's evil spirits, the charge will be one thousand taels of silver. If I want Pindao to surrender the evil spirit, the charge will be three thousand taels of silver. If I do both, I'll get a 20% discount off the four thousand... Four hundred and eighty-three Twelve... is three thousand two hundred taels of silver."

"I want three...three thousand two hundred taels!" Li Zheng took a breath of air and stammered, "Taoist Master, how can we get so much money?"

The slow voice said:

"If you don't surrender this evil spirit, it will possess one person every night. Children with weak yang energy will be the first ones to be possessed. That's 365 people in a year. You calculate the score, average It only costs less than ten taels if you spread it out. It costs ten taels if you ask a doctor to come out late at night... Besides, you invited Pindao from Baixiu Mountain at night. What can you do if you don’t have money? Pindao is not a philanthropist. .”

Shen Yuexi was startled for a moment.

Bai Xiushan, isn't this the place that the drugstore shopkeeper of Dongji Town mentioned yesterday?

There is a medicinal ingredient in the special medicine to treat Maple, called Xuanming powder. The raw material is only available in Baixiu Mountain. Where did this master come from? Wasn't that place occupied by bandits?

The more she listened, the more curious she became, so she asked Yang Cong to move a bench over. She stepped on the bench and looked inside.

Under the light of the fire, standing at the door of the temple was a Taoist priest in his thirties, wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a mahogany sword. He looked quite presentable and was speaking plausibly.

It's a pity that Shen Yuexi knows him.

Isn't this Dr. Hua's son, the consulting doctor at Baohetang Pharmacy in Daliang Village County? How could he appear here and transform into a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits?

A woman in the crowd had already shouted: "Li Zheng, for the sake of our village, let the Taoist priest save the child first, and then cast a spell to subdue the evil ghost."

"Sister, that's three thousand two hundred taels of silver." Another woman said.

"Money is a trivial matter. To cure a disease, you have to get to the root of it. That person is in the village, and evil spirits come to harm people every day. It's useless to just exorcise the children."

"That's right... Li Zheng, we all pay, each family contributes three taels, which can almost make up for it."

After a while, Li Zheng's voice sounded: "In that case, everyone should be quiet for now. Later we will raise money for the Taoist priest. We'd better ask him to exorcise this child from evil spirits first."

"You all want it, right? At a 20% discount, this child will receive 200 taels first. After he surrenders the evil spirit, he will make up the remaining 3,000 taels."

Shen Yuexi was angry in her heart.

Everyone worked hard to cultivate crops and mine minerals, and finally their lives improved. As soon as this fake Taoist priest came, he wiped out the entire village's wealth.

This bad guy must be punished.

She was just thinking about what to do when the fake Taoist priest took the peach wood sword and pointed at it and said while gesticulating:

"Li Zheng, who is the evil ghost in? You tell Pindao directly, Pindao doesn't have to waste mana."

"Yes...it's the Crown Prince of Xiliang." Li Zheng said hesitantly.

The fake Taoist priest's movements suddenly froze, and the peach wood sword in his hand fell to the ground.
