Chapter 6 The Taoist Priest Who Subdued Demons and Eliminated Demons Part 2
Chai Tiannuo returned the gift with a smile, "One must be content, two pairs are enough money, plus the more than ten coins earned from writing as a scrivener, his income is definitely considered high in this Fengcheng city, so he can't be too greedy."
Time passed, and months passed in the blink of an eye. He ate well, slept well, and exercised up and down the mountain every day. His physical fitness gradually improved, and Chaitino's body was no longer as weak as before.
After staying for a long time, I got to know more people, and I also knew clearly where I lived. It was the Luolu Mountain Temple, and the mountain god Luoze Shanjun was enshrined.
Although there is a lot of incense, there are still some pilgrims who come to pay homage and clean the place every month. Because Chaitino leaves early and comes back late every day, he never encounters them once.
After he had enough money, Chaitino hired someone to reshape the mud tire, and replaced the divine robe with a new one. As for the damaged roof and walls, he also repaired it. The cost was not much, just ten guan.
Of course, don't think about the gold body. Without hundreds of taels of ingots, even the thinnest gold foil cannot be attached. After all, it is a delicate craft and the cost is high.
When returning to the mountain every day, Chaitino would bring two handfuls of incense, one to worship Mount Luoze, and the other to worship the zombie general.
From the eulogy that day, we knew that the general probably died unjustly, and since he was destined to be with him, it would be good to spend some time with him.
Returning to the mountain that day, Chaitino paid homage to the general and chuckled as he looked at the tomb where the chill had dissipated a lot. He finally listened to what he said. Although he was still cold, he was no longer as violent as before.
"Thanks!"
A dull voice came out, and Chaitino handed over his hands and left.
Before entering the temple, Chaitino noticed someone in the room. He couldn't help but wonder, who would come to worship the gods on a dark and windy night?
Pushing open the door and entering, the sound of a sword being unsheathed was immediately heard inside. Chai Tiannuo took a closer look and saw two young Taoist priests, a man and a woman, holding swords and looking at him solemnly.
Chai Tiannuo didn't say anything, just smiled at them, skillfully took out the fire sickle and lit the oil lamp on the altar table, then ignited the fragrant incense and inserted it into the incense burner, and bowed three times seriously.
Seeing Chai Tiannuo's actions, the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The female Taoist asked curiously:
"Are you a temple blessing?"
"Can this temple in the mountains have incense?"
"Isn't this just incense?"
Chai Tiannuo chuckled lightly and went to the back room to put down the things in his hands. The two Taoists also followed and saw a brand new small bed with brand new bedding.
This was purchased by Chai Tiannuo when he was renovating the temple. It was cold and cold in the mountains at night, and he always slept on the ground. Even a tough man couldn't hold on.
"Is there no other incense besides you?"
The female Taoist priest asked persistently, and Chai Tiannuo replied while lighting the bedside candle:
"How can a temple with no name get so much incense? I heard people say that there are always a few mountaineers who come to worship every month, but I have never seen them since I was away during the day."
"You are really incompetent as a temple minister."
The female Taoist priest was a bit familiar and kept talking, but the male Taoist priest was a little too silent and didn't say a word.
"A certain person can only count as half a temple blessing. He only burns incense and cleans the house. He has to go down the mountain to make a living during the day. After all, he still has to live."
"But you two are a little strange. Luolu Mountain is not a scenic spot. Why are you here in vain?"
Chaitino glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye and felt that they were capable.
Although I can't see through it at a glance like I used to, I can still vaguely estimate that the two Taoist priests are probably Taoist practitioners.
"We are here to conquer demons and eliminate harm for the people!"
The female Taoist priest held her head high and said quite proudly. Chai Tiannuo narrowed his eyes and asked softly:
"Which demon was conquered and which demon was eliminated?"
"The murderous zombies, and the soul-eating devils!"
The female Taoist priest said firmly. Chai Tiannuo shook his head slightly and understood the origin of the two people. They should be the mage invited by the tomb robber village at the foot of the mountain. Their target was the zombie general and the devil himself.
It's funny when you think about it. You saved a young man and a woman, but they asked someone to deal with you. Good deeds are rewarded with bad deeds. How can there be any explanation in the world?
It's just that I don't understand. It seems that these two Taoist priests don't know the matter very clearly. I wonder if the people in the village deliberately kept it vague so as to erase the evil deeds they have done.
"By the way, Miao Zhu, you live on the mountain. Haven't you heard of the tragedy that happened a few days ago?"
"I've heard it, and I know it, but I'm afraid it's a little different from what you two know."
Chaitino opened the bedding and felt it was a little damp. There was nothing he could do about it. There was a lot of humidity in the mountains, and it would become moldy if it was not exposed to sunlight for a few days.
Two days ago, Chaitino was still thinking about whether to move down the mountain.
"Isn't it just that the villagers who went up to the mountains to farm were killed by zombies, and their souls were eaten by monsters? How could such a simple thing go astray?"
"This is the biggest deviation!"
Looking at the confused female Taoist priest, Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but sigh deeply. With such sophistication, how could their master let them come out with confidence?
"As far as I know, those so-called villagers are thieves who steal and dig graves. The reason why zombies kill people is because they dig their own graves..."
Chai Tiannuo told the story in general, but the two Taoist priests, who had rounded themselves up into a corner to eavesdrop, had blank faces after listening. What the temple Zhu said was very different from what the villagers at the foot of the mountain said.
Seeing that the two Taoist priests were doubtful, Chai Tiannuo sighed again:
"They go to the mountains to farm. There are no fields or fruit trees on the mountains. What kind of farming are they doing? To talk like this is just to make fun of you two!"
No matter how ignorant they were of the world, the two Taoists knew that something was wrong. Frustration slowly appeared on their faces, and their passion for eliminating violence and peace was being exploited, and they felt inexplicably sad.
"Don't be discouraged. It's great to have such a heart, but you must think more carefully in the future. If you are used by others to do evil, it will be a huge disaster!"
Chai Tiannuo said sincerely that he was very optimistic about the two young Taoists with warm hearts. No matter what changes they would have in the future, at least here and now, their enthusiasm is comforting.
The two Taoist priests nodded. Miao Zhu was right. If he was really misled into doing evil things, even if he died to apologize, he would not be able to undo the damage to his sect's reputation.
"It's good to know you're wrong. The moon is full tonight, and you both have skills. Come down the mountain early, and you will gain wisdom. Going through this may not be a bad thing for you two."
Chai Tiannuo said with a smile, but the two Taoist priests shook their heads vigorously. Chai Tiannuo frowned, what does this mean?
"Temple celebration, we have to bother you for one night. We will go to the cliff to slay demons at dawn."
The female Taoist priest held up her hands and said a little apologetically. Chai Tiannuo sighed:
"Didn't you understand what someone said before?"
"Those villagers are evil thieves who steal graves and dig up graves. If the government catches them, they will be killed. The reason why they were killed by zombies is due to cause and effect."
"We know what you said."
The male Taoist priest who had never spoken raised his hands and said seriously:
"But no matter what the cause and effect, no matter what the reason, my junior sister and I don't recognize it!"
