"X...The prince of Xiliang," the fake Taoist said, pretending to be nonchalant as he bent down and picked up the mahogany sword, "he is the son of a prince, how come he is in such a remote place?"

Li Zhengdao: "Master Taoist, it's absolutely true."

"You said you were staying in our village for medical treatment," Yang Cong's mother interrupted, "who knew he was being haunted by evil spirits."

The crowd all echoed in agreement.

"That's how you let him enter the village."

"I am the prince's son, Li Zheng dare not refuse."

Yang Cong pulled Shen Yuexi's hand hard, made Shen Yuexi squat down, and whispered in her ear:

"This group of people dislike the crown prince, but they dare not speak openly. The prince's army helped defeat Xirong before, but they have forgotten all these kindnesses."

Shen Yuexi smiled and said, "Don't you believe like them that Prince Mei is possessed by an evil spirit?"

She knew that the idea of ​​these ordinary people was very simple, just to avoid disasters, otherwise they would not all gather in Xiaogang Village. It is human nature to be afraid of ghosts, and there is nothing worthy of hatred.

Yang Cong said: "Then you have to help him get cured. Didn't Madam say you should repay your kindness?"

"Hey, I'm already treating you," Shen Yuexi patted Yang Cong on the shoulder, "Let me see what the front says."

She stood up again and looked across the crowd at Li Zheng and the fake Taoist priest at the entrance of the temple.

The fake Taoist priest is here to deceive people. She cannot sit idly by and ignore it. She must first obtain conclusive evidence of his crime.

At the gate of the temple, the fake Taoist priests Zheng and Lizheng explained.

"Although the Crown Prince is not a real dragon, he is... one of the Dragon Sons. Even his yang energy cannot resist the evil spirit's possession, which shows that this evil spirit is very powerful and may be a demon!"

The crowd suddenly became commotion, and people started whispering to each other.

"Oh my god, it's actually a devil!"

"No wonder the exorcism spell posted on the door of Lao Zhang's house doesn't work."

"Then what are we going to do?"

At this time, a gust of cold wind happened to blow by, and many people had goosebumps on their bodies, which further deepened the panic of the crowd.

Even Yang Cong was startled and pulled Shen Yuexi down again: "Madam, is what he said true?"

Shen Yuexi consoled him: "He's a liar. I know him. This guy is a liar."

"Ah, liar?" Yang Cong was stunned.

"He is a doctor in Tongliao County. I once met him in a pharmacy called Baohe Tang in the county."

"You're not wrong, Tongliao is quite far away from here, with half of Shengzhou in between."

"It looks good, his tone of voice hasn't changed at all."

When the fake Taoist priest saw the crowd panicking, he pretended to say: "This demon is much more powerful than the evil ghost. I'm afraid I have to go back to the mountain to ask for a magic weapon."

Li Zheng panicked and quickly stopped him: "Taoist Priest, you can't leave, in case the devil..."

"Don't worry, the demon disease... won't come out. His demonic energy is not enough." The fake Taoist priest picked up the mahogany sword again. "I will exorcise the child first, and then I will go back to the mountain to get the magic weapon, and then come back to deal with it." That devil...but..."

Li Zheng asked nervously: "But what?"

"To deal with the devil, the price has doubled. Poor Taoist is so compassionate that it originally cost six thousand two hundred and four hundred taels, so I wiped off the change and only got six thousand taels."

"Ah, six thousand!" Li Zheng said with a sad face.

"I am a poor man going back to the mountain to ask for the magic weapon. You have to pay half of the deposit first, three thousand taels. In addition to the two hundred taels to exorcise the child, give me a total of three thousand two hundred taels of silver."

Shen Yuexi almost became angry when she heard this.

This fake Taoist priest is really wicked. When he heard that he was going to exorcise evil spirits and cure the illness of the prince of Xiliang, he was probably afraid of being exposed, so he planned to run away. But he used the devil as a cover to try to get Xiaogang Village to give away three thousand two hundred taels for free. silver.

As long as everyone is normal, they will definitely not give it to him in vain. But now that the villagers are frightened by his words, it is really hard to say.

But he can no longer stand by and watch the fun. If the villagers really collect money to give him, he just takes the money and runs away. It would be so sorry for everyone.

Seeing that the villagers were talking a lot and discussing how to pay, she quickly jumped down from the stool and said to Yang Cong: "Come with me, and we will expose him."

Before the two of them could take action, a burst of eerie laughter suddenly came from the top of the temple.

"You said one thing wrong. This demon has already accumulated enough demonic energy."

Everyone's eyes are looking at the top of the temple.

On the roof of the temple, a dark figure wearing a dark robe, hands stretched out straight, and a metal mask with green face and fangs jumped over like a zombie in the morning light of the sky.

"Mom!" Yang Cong's mother shouted and ran away.

"The devil is coming out!" Another man shouted in a broken tone.

The crowd was in chaos and ran out of the square one after another. They only regretted that their parents had not given them two extra legs. Fortunately, the square was connected in all directions, and the crowd dispersed and there was no stampede.

Shen Yuexi recognized Mei Pu and was about to call him. Yang Cong directly held her waist, carried her whole body on his shoulders, and ran away like flying.

"Oh, Yang Cong, please put me down, that's Mepu." Shen Yuexi looked up and saw Mepu jumping down from the temple, and quickly patted Yang Cong on the back.

Only Ma Pu, the fake Taoist priest, Li Zheng and the child were left there. Li Zheng was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and the child was still crying on the incense table.

"Young Master has ordered that you are not allowed to see him!" Yang Cong shouted as he ran, "Besides... he is a devil!"

Shen Yuexi didn't know what to do. She bent her fingers and tapped Yang Cong's head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Put me down quickly."

"Ouch," Yang Cong stopped, put Shen Yuexi down, and raised his hand to rub the top of his head, "Madam, you hit me so much."

"Didn't I tell you that the prince is ill and all kinds of evil spirits have come out?" Shen Yuexi said, "Prince Mei has probably been eavesdropping on the roof. When he saw the fake Taoist priest asking for money, he came down to cause trouble. That’s it. Let’s go back and take a look.”

"Young Master has ordered that you are not allowed to see Prince Mei."

"Okay, if Prince Mei is there, can I leave?"

Yang Cong had just run very fast, and was already far away from the square. The two of them walked back along the road, only to see that every house was closed, and the whole village suddenly seemed to be deserted, and even the dogs did not dare to bark.

Shen Yuexi sighed as she walked.

Xiaogang Village could have become like this while the people of Mapu were still sick. If this were better, Xiaogang Village would still be in a state of panic.

The two returned to the empty square. Maple and the fake Taoist priest had long disappeared. Only Li was holding the crying child, looking left and right, and running out quietly.

When he saw Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong running towards him, he quickly shouted: "Oh, why do you two dare to come out?"

"Where are Prince Mei and the Taoist priest?" Shen Yuexi asked.

"The devil has captured that Taoist priest!" Li said with an earthy face, "He has been captured!"

After hearing this, Shen Yuexi comforted Li Zheng and said, "Don't panic, Li Zheng. The prince is not a devil, he just has a disease. That Taoist priest is a liar. I have met him before."

Li Zheng said in disbelief: "Really or not?"

"I said the same thing before. Didn't I just give the prince medicine last night? If he is really a devil, how can I be fine?"

"Then what happened to this child..."

Shen Yuexi said to Yang Cong: "Yang Cong, please pick up the child. He is too old to hold it... Don't worry, the child has no evil intentions."

Seeing that Shen Yuexi was not afraid, Yang Cong took the child from Li Zheng's arms.

When the child was a little over two years old, Shen Yuexi lifted up his clothes and saw a lot of bumps on the child that looked like mosquito bites. The child seemed a little uncomfortable and kept crying.

Shen Yuexi recognized immediately that it was a food allergy.

"What did the kid eat last night?"

Li Zheng knocked on his forehead: "Isn't it almost October, the season for eating crabs? Now that the village has money, we bought two carts of crabs in Dongji Town and divided them among everyone..."

"What kind of crab is a two-year-old kid eating? What a joke!"
