The compass and pointer in Wang Daozhang's hand were originally made of iron.
He held the magnet in his hand and put it under the compass. The pointer on the compass suddenly started to spin in circles.
With his eyes wandering, Wang Daozhang glanced at Old Man Li, Zhang Butcher and others not far away, and saw that they were not aware of his little move at all.
He pretended and walked to a place a few meters away from Old Man Li and others.
His footsteps paused, and Taoist Wang's expression suddenly changed.
"Lao Li, you guys, look at the compass pointer in my hand."
"It's coming, the thing that occupies this yard, it's really coming..."
"It's so full of resentment. It's not good. It's hostile to me and wants to attack me!"
…
With a scream, Taoist Wang didn't know when he had the tomato juice in his mouth. At this moment, he opened his mouth and sprayed it out.
He seemed to be unsteady even as he stood, and he sat down directly on the ground.
"Taoist Priest, Taoist Priest, are you okay?"
"What on earth is attacking you? Why can't we see it?"
"This courtyard is so evil that even an expert like Daozhang Wang can't handle it. What should we do? Do we really have no choice but to move out in despair?"
…
Old Man Li, Aunt Liu and others gathered at the entrance of the courtyard to watch Taoist Wang, a master from this world, perform exorcisms. Their faces were flustered, and their expressions changed drastically.
Of these guys, the only one who really cares about Daoist Wang's condition is Old Man Li.
From the words of the other people, no matter how miserable the situation presented by Taoist Wang was.
For them, what they really care about is the matter in this yard, how to solve it?
"Don't worry, Lao Li, I just lost some energy, it's not a big deal."
"I have been practicing cultivation for nearly fifty years. What kind of scene have I not seen?"
"I think back then, the poor Taoist single-handedly challenged a group of those things. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the poor Taoist finally got the better of him and killed them all with his sword."
"The thing in your yard is terrible, but it's not without solutions."
"It attacked Pindao just now. Although it succeeded and hurt some of my vitality, the pure Yang blood spurted out from the tip of my tongue just now also caused it serious damage."
"It's a pity that although it was temporarily repelled by me, I couldn't completely eliminate it. In the end, this is just a temporary solution, not the root cause."
"Old Li, if you had known earlier, the situation here is so serious, let alone three hundred and three, even if it was three thousand three, I would never take this job."
"To completely deal with the things in your yard, I'm afraid it won't be enough just to lose my vitality."
"If you don't do it well, it's very possible that Pindao will lose a few years of his life..."
With a look of great loss of energy, Taoist Wang stood up unsteadily.
After some words, he had stopped talking and did not continue.
Whether to help Old Man Li, Aunt Liu and others to deal with the thing occupying this courtyard, he neither said yes nor no, he just glanced at everyone in the courtyard with his meaningful eyes.
"Ah... is it so serious? Taoist priest, please show mercy and you must help us!"
"Yes, Taoist Wang, according to what you said, if the thing in the yard is so powerful, then for us people, if we continue to stay here, we will definitely die."
"If you don't help us, we people will be homeless and living on the streets!"
Aunt Liu, Zhang Butcher and others all looked flustered and uneasy.
Showing a pitiful and miserable look, they begged to Taoist Master Wang in a good voice.
Seeing how dishonest these guys were, Taoist Wang secretly cursed them as idiots. He squinted his eyes, pretending to be serious, and said nothing at all.
Old man Li, who had lived in the bullpen with him, understood his thoughts better.
Seeing him acting like this, Old Man Li frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "Taoist Priest, do you mean to ask for more money?"
After hearing this, Taoist Wang, who had been pretending to close his eyes and rest his mind, finally slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
"God has the virtue of a good life. As Taoist cultivators, it is our duty to kill demons and demons. I am a poor Taoist and I am bound to do so."
"However, living in this mundane world, it is difficult to move around without money. Even if you are a poor person, you cannot escape the secular world!"
"If there are just some unscrupulous little things in your yard causing trouble, and you can easily get rid of them, then that's it."
"But now, the thing we have to deal with is too powerful. It will take several years of Yangshou before I can be confident enough to get rid of it."
"I have paid such a high price to help you. I believe you can't bear to see this poor man working in vain."
"The agreed three hundred and three, on top of this foundation, you have to add more or less!"
…
With a look of compassion, Wang Daochang let out a long sigh and said.
"Three hundred and three is not enough? You have to add more money. How much more?"
"I work very hard and work hard for a month. Normally, I only earn two to three hundred yuan to drive away evil spirits and do some magic. Three hundred and three hundred yuan is enough."
"If we continue to add more money, our family might as well follow Wu Shoemaker's example and move out."
"Yes! If we want more money, we won't do anything and just move out. Anyway, this house doesn't belong to us. That thing is so powerful. Let him harm that guy named Chen!"
…
Except for Old Man Li and his wife, they did not speak out.
The two families of Butcher Zhang and Aunt Liu immediately began to talk about it.
"You guys are confused!"
"Since that thing occupying the yard is entangled with you, do you think that as long as it is moved away, it will be unable to do anything to you?"
"Let me tell you, no matter where you move, that thing will never let you go easily."
"If you don't want to pay more, if you ask me to do something, I'll turn around and leave at worst. It won't have any impact on me."
"At that time, the real unlucky ones will be yourselves!"
"For us ascetics, money is just an external possession. Do you want to add more money to ask me to practice? The decision lies with you."
"Think more about it and discuss it carefully. If you really don't want to pay more for me, I definitely won't force you!"
…
With a long sigh, after Wang Taoist Master finished speaking, he sat down on the chair and began to close his eyes and rest his mind again.
When Old Man Li went to invite him, the three hundred and thirty dollars collected by several families had already been handed over to him.
He will definitely not return this money.
After all, tomato juice costs money, and acting is tiring, so it is only natural that he should receive some wages.
We have already paid three hundred and thirty yuan, and if we let people like Aunt Liu and Zhang Butcher chip in and add a little more, this is called cutting meat with a dull knife.
In Wang Daozhang's opinion, he is at least 80% sure that he can make another fortune from these people in front of him.
Time passed little by little, and when Wang Daochang came over, it was already getting late.
At this moment, the sunset finally completely sets, and night begins to gradually cover the entire land.
"Why should we pay more? This yard doesn't belong to us?"
"That's true. The boy named Chen is the real landlord here. If he wants to pay, he should pay the big share."
"As tenants here, we as a few families have pooled together three hundred and thirty yuan, which is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous. If Master Wang wants to increase the money, all the money should come from the man surnamed Chen."
"Who knows the contact information of that kid? We have to find him."
"His house is so evil that he rented it to us. It's good that we didn't ask him for mental damages."
"I just asked him to pay some money and ask Taoist Wang to do something. If he dares not to agree, all of us will go directly to his house and let him have no peace."
…
When it comes to money, the tenants in the courtyard have been discussing and discussing, but they can't come up with anything at all.
I don’t know which guy started it, but these guys talked and talked directly about Chen Hai.
At this moment, at the door of the courtyard that was already open, Chen Hai, Bai Xiaohang and others walked in unhurriedly.
When Taoist Wang came over, Bai Xiaohang, who had been wandering nearby, had already taken in all this scene.
After receiving the news from them, Chen Hai returned to the Xishan Villa. After thinking about it for a while, he asked Tian Mingjian to drive him and bring him here.
"Boy Chen, you came just in time. Your yard has been very evil these days!"
"We have lived in this courtyard for so many years. In the past, everything was safe and there were no problems at all."
"Ever since you bought this yard, this place has never been peaceful."
"You must have provoked something and brought them into this yard. You must take full responsibility for this matter."
The person who spoke was Old Man Li. This guy relied on his elders and acted like a Chen boy. With a few casual words, he blamed all the problems in the yard on Chen Hai.
I have to say that he is indeed a talent. He just made up random lies just to get Chen Hai to pay, but he actually guessed the truth of the matter.
"Old man Li, our boss keeps asking you to move out. It's you who have been occupying this place and don't want to move out."
"Now there's a problem, the yard has become evil, it's your own fault."
"Pushing the matter to our boss? Are you still shameless? In my opinion, at your age, you have been living like a dog!"
Bai Xiaohang was always a man who could take action but never speak. The person speaking at this moment was naturally not him, but Xiang Dong beside him.
With a face full of gloating and misfortune, Xiangdong pointed at Old Man Li and ridiculed them without any shame.
"This is..." Chen Hai's eyes fell directly on Taoist Wang who was still concentrating with his eyes closed.
Seeing his outfit, Chen Hai knew what this guy was doing here!
He originally thought that the guy in front of him might have some real skills, but he was out of his body and walked around Taoist Wang several times, but the guy showed no reaction at all.
After just a brief test, he was already sure that the person in front of him was a swindler and had no ability at all. He was just a liar.
