At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

Satsuma sighed and shook his head.

After the rain stopped, he told the villagers,

"Now we can only ask a Taoist priest to collect this monster. I heard that there is a very powerful old Taoist priest in the county. People in the county call him the old god. It takes at least fifty taels to invite him, otherwise he will not come forward. ."

"Fifty taels is just fifty taels. As long as we can take over this monster, we are all willing to chip in together."

The villagers stood up eagerly and expressed their willingness to pay.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth and continued, "Not fifty taels is enough. Fifty taels can only be asked to come and take a look. If you ask him to help kill the ghost, it will cost at least five hundred taels. He usually gives it to big households. If ordinary people go to invite people to exorcise evil spirits, I’m afraid it’s hard to find them.”

Of course, the old Taoist priests would sometimes help when they see a destined person, but Li Zheng didn't think that the old Taoist priest in their village would be a destined person.

The villagers were immediately dumbfounded.

Five hundred taels! ! !

Five hundred taels is a lot

Their whole village may not be able to raise so much money.

Fifty taels of silver is very difficult, let alone five hundred taels of silver, which would simply cost the lives of the entire village.

Black Widow lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said loudly,

"Li Zheng, we definitely can't come up with five hundred taels of silver. Or else, the whole village will go to the old Taoist priest's residence to kneel down and beg. With so many people watching, I don't believe he will die or not."

If he doesn't come forward, we'll say he's deceitful and doesn't dare to take action unless he's really capable. "

When the villagers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they all agreed with Black Widow's method.

If you can do it without spending money, of course it’s better not to spend money.

It was rare for the villagers to think together and work hard together.

The villagers who could still walk in the village drove all the animals in the village out on trailers. They quietly picked up those who had broken arms and legs in the village, and went to the county town together.

No one in the village dared to stay in the village, so they gritted their teeth and followed him to the county seat.

When the villagers arrived at the gate of the Taoist priest's house, they all collapsed on the ground tiredly.

From early in the morning to now, they walked for three hours before reaching the county seat. They were really exhausted.

Along the way, many curious people followed the villagers and came to watch the fun.

"Where are these refugees from?"

"I haven't heard of any natural disasters."

"I look like these people are beggars."

"A beggar comes to the old fairy's door to cause trouble. What kind of trouble can he cause?"

"Hey~~~ Look, that one seems to be the leader. Why is he kneeling at the gate?"

.......

"Ask the old god for help and save our villagers in Songjia Village!"

Li Zheng kowtowed devoutly and cried.

"Please old god, please save us! Woohoo~~~"

The villagers knelt down and cried.

"Please old fairy, please save Songjia Village. A ghost has come to our village and is going to kill everyone in our village!"

Li Zheng kowtowed again and continued to cry.

The villagers also cried sadly.

Some people with broken legs woke up with pale faces and exposed their deformed legs to the people around them.

"Look, everyone, my legs were damaged by that ghost thing. I would rather die~~~"

The onlookers finally understood the cause of the incident from the villagers' complaints.

People always like to sympathize with the weak indiscriminately. The crowd shouted towards the old Taoist priest's house,

"Old fairy, come and save me~~These villagers are so pitiful."

"What a sin, you have encountered some extremely vicious ghost."

"You have found the right person. This old immortal is very good at catching ghosts."

.......

The old Taoist priest's boy listened to the general idea at the door, and immediately ran into the inner courtyard to report it.

"Master, Master! It's terrible, someone is making a fuss at the door."

"It's unbecoming to be in such a hurry."

The old Taoist priest who was meditating shook his fly whisk and scolded the boy.

The boy slowed down, shrank his neck, walked into the hall, and walked gently behind the old Taoist priest.

"Master, there is a village outside that is kneeling at the door and begging you to come out and help. They said that a ghost was encountered in their village, and they almost massacred the whole village."

The old Taoist priest pinched his fingers and made a sneer.

"Nonsense, complete nonsense."

The boy hurriedly explained, "Master, I am really not talking nonsense. Those villagers are crying and shouting at the door."

The corners of the old Taoist priest's mouth twitched, and he continued to meditate with his eyes narrowed.

"Don't worry, let them be."

"Oh!" The boy scratched his head and walked out confused.

The villagers in Songjia Village knelt at the door for half an hour, but they didn't see the old god come out. Many people could no longer kneel.

Li Zheng's voice was hoarse from shouting. He winked at Black Widow and asked Black Widow to call the door.

The black widow pursed her lips. She had no strength left. She was hungry and thirsty after walking all the way.

She glanced at the crowd around her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately had an idea.

"Old god, are you going to die without saving me? Wuwu~~~Since this is the case, we are going to die anyway, so I might as well just knock myself to death here."

As she said that, the black widow wiped away her tears and knocked against the old Taoist priest's door.

"Bang~~~"

Black Widow, who only used three-thirds of her strength, was hit by the door and gritted her teeth in pain.

After hitting the door, she immediately fell softly at the door.

"Wow~~~~"

The crowd watched a woman knock on the door and fainted, and their passion was instantly ignited.

The enthusiastic people immediately rushed to the door, raised their hands and knocked hard on the old Taoist priest's door.

"Open the door, someone is dead!"

"It's in vain that you still carry the name of the old god. I think you are just trying to gain fame."

"People have crashed and died at your door, and you still refuse to come out. What an old god you are."

"The old god comes out~~~"

"Old Taoist priest, come out quickly!!!"

"Old Taoist priest, come out quickly!!!"

........

Suddenly, everyone at the noisy gate formed a united front and shouted this sentence one after another,

"Old Taoist priest, come out quickly!"

More and more people participated in the shouting, which suddenly attracted more passers-by to participate.

The loud shouts reached the ears of the old Taoist priest.

He frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and stood up with a whisk in his hand.

The boy leaned against the door of the living room and looked at the door with a troubled expression.

When the old Taoist priest walked past the boy, he came back to his senses.

"Master, do you want to go out and take a look?"

The old Taoist priest glanced at him and walked toward the gate without saying a word.

The boy pursed his lips and trotted forward to open the door in an intelligent manner.

"Squeaky~~~"

The boy opened the door and stood by the door to greet the master.

The noisy crowd at the door suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the silver-haired old Taoist priest intently, and suddenly felt a sense of timidity in their hearts.

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down in front of the old Taoist priest and begged,

"Old god, please save our village."

The old Taoist priest glanced at Li Zheng and said in a loud voice,

"You come to persecute Pindao like this, and Pindao will be saved even if he doesn't want to be saved!"

Li Zheng's face was filled with joy and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you, old god, for helping me."

The old Taoist priest took a deep look at Li Zheng and said,

"I just made a quick calculation and found out that no one was killed in your village. You haven't told the truth. How can I help you?"
