After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

The old village chief's words revealed a hint of solemnity. He slowly said: "Village Chief Nanrong, we are in Bailan Village. Villagers often go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs and wild vegetables. But the strange thing is that whenever there is thunder, we can always see some people walking on the mountain.

The villagers were all a little worried, fearing that there might be something unclean going on here. Therefore, I specially invited a Taoist priest to come and hope that he could exorcise these bad omens for our village.”

Witnesses Uncle Feng and Uncle Lu followed closely behind the old village chief, both with a trace of fear on their faces. Uncle Feng explained, "Village Chief Nanrong, that day Uncle Lu and I went up the mountain to collect herbs. Suddenly, there was a rumble of thunder and a flash of lightning in the sky. At that moment, we clearly saw several figures moving in front of us. But after a while, those figures disappeared, as if they had never appeared."

Uncle Lu also echoed, "Yes, Village Chief Nanrong, we were all very scared at the time. Those figures looked erratic and very strange."

The old village chief continued, "Village chief Nanrong, the elders in our village all said that this might be a sign of the mountain god's anger. So, I would like to ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, hoping to calm the anger of the mountain god and keep our village safe. Of course, I still need to ask for your opinion."

After listening to the descriptions of the old village chief and the two eyewitnesses, Nan Rongxi's mind flashed with some fragments, and she suddenly remembered a documentary about the Forbidden City that she had watched before, which seemed to mention a similar scene. This made her even more confused about what was happening before her.

She quickly asked the system in her mind: [Tongzi, Tongzi, are there really such things as ghosts in this world? ]

The system responded quickly: [Of course not! ] After hearing the system's answer, Nan Rongxi's doubts were slightly alleviated.

Otherwise, she really thought that there was such a thing in the place she traveled to.

Then, she curiously asked the system: [Tongzi, generally speaking, Taoists have a lot of melons. Can you give me some?]

When the old village chief heard Nan Rongxi's thoughts, he was a little confused and looked puzzled: How could there be something fishy about this?

Uncle Feng and Uncle Lu also heard the conversation between Nan Rongxi and the system. They looked at each other and immediately lowered their voices.

System: [It’s obvious. Since there are no demons or monsters, then this Taoist priest is here to defraud people of their money.]

Old village chief: This person cheated me out of money!

Youyue: It turns out you are just playing tricks!

Nan Rongxi: [Hahaha… As expected, can you tell me the story of this Taoist priest? ]

System: [This Taoist priest calls himself "Xuanxuzi". He deceived the villagers with his fluent Jianghu terms and seemingly profound Taoist methods. Whenever something unpleasant happened in the village, the villagers would ask Xuanxuzi to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.

One day, a strange thing happened in the home of the old village chief. Every night when everyone was asleep, the old village chief could always hear strange noises coming from his home, as if someone was whispering. The old village chief was terrified and invited Xuanxuzi to come.

After Xuanxuzi arrived at the old village chief's house, he pretended to look around and then said in a deep voice: "Old village chief, your house has been invaded by evil spirits. You must perform a ritual to exorcise it immediately." When the old village chief heard this, he nodded quickly and asked Xuanxuzi to perform the ritual as soon as possible.

Xuanxuzi then began his "ritual" performance. He first lit a stick of incense, muttered something, and then waved a peach wood sword around the house. He sometimes jumped and sometimes hummed, seemingly very engaged. However, all of this was a trick he learned in the martial arts world and had no practical effect at all.

However, the old village chief believed in Xuanxuzi's performance. Seeing Xuanxuzi's dedication to the performance, they believed that the evil spirit had been driven away. The old village chief was very grateful to Xuanxuzi and gave him a reward.

Little did they know that the sound was deliberately made by Xuanxuzi at night! 】

When the old village chief heard this, he almost died of anger. This bastard was so excessive.

Uncle Feng and Uncle Lu quickly supported the old village chief.

Nan Rongxi smiled evilly: [Hahahaha… This old village chief is too stupid. He believes this. It’s obviously fake! ]

After hearing this, the old village chief's blood pressure continued to rise by several millimeters of mercury: ...

Uncle Feng: Stop provoking the old village chief!

System: [Actually, anyone can be fooled easily. This bastard makes you sleepless every day, which naturally affects your judgment, and naturally makes you prone to desperately seeking medical help! ]

Old Village Chief: That’s right, that’s right! It’s all this dog Taoist priest’s fault.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, where is this Taoist priest now? I want to meet him and see what he looks like. His tricks are so clever!]

System: [The old village chief brought him here, he is at the door! ]

The old village chief then remembered and quickly signaled to Uncle Feng and Uncle Lu: Go catch him quickly and help me get the money back!

Uncle Feng and Uncle Lu were also honest men. They didn't know what the village chief meant by blinking his eyes like that.

Youyue immediately understood what the old village chief meant. She slowly left and quickly subdued the liar at the door.

Nan Rongxi scratched his head: [This is interesting, but there is no rush. By the way, Tongzi, what is the so-called human figure? ]

Old Village Chief: I also want to know what is going on?

Uncle Feng: Tell me! Tell me! Oh my God! I waited all this time just to hear this!

Uncle Lu: Finally we’re getting to the point!

System: [Actually, this is due to the large amount of iron ore on the mountain. Especially in the place where they passed, the iron ore was directly exposed in a large area. The so-called impact is that people in the past passed by and encountered thunder, and then it was recorded.]

Nan Rongxi: [Oh, I remember now, this is also the reason why the palace maids appeared in the Forbidden City! ]

Old Village Chief: Iron ore? ? ! !

Uncle Feng: This time, we are going to get rich! !

Uncle Lu: Oh my god! Iron ore! It exploded like this!

Nan Rongxi didn't know how to explain: "Old village chief, two uncles, there is actually no so-called monster here, it's just an ordinary natural phenomenon caused by the iron ore on the mountain!"

The old village chief and the two uncles were so excited that their eyes were wide open.

Although they didn’t understand what Nan Rongxi explained, they understood that there was iron ore in it!!!

Iron ore is a very important material. Owning an iron mine is a big deal. Farm tools and weapons cannot be separated from iron. Iron ore is often a resource monopolized by ancient emperors, especially in troubled times. It can make the villagers in the entire village rich.

Compared with ghosts and poverty, poverty is obviously more terrifying!

If you tell them that there really are ghosts in the mine, I'm afraid no one will be afraid and they will just keep digging.

The three of them are now in dream mode just like you in front of the screen who have won a 500 million lottery.

"Old village chief, two uncles! What's wrong?"
