Chapter 3 Going down the mountain to exorcise and the police in black
Li Haoran relied on the practice method of inner alchemy to reach the perfection of the Qi Refining Stage half a year ago. However, due to the lack of the exercises of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he has been unable to break through. The only thing he can practice every day for the past six months is attack.
The magic palm thunder.
The lifespan of a cultivator is closely related to his realm. For Li Haoran, it would be great to live longer.
And now that I have the opportunity to obtain the Foundation Building Technique, plus I can also get two pigs and a few chickens...
The temptation is really too great!
Just do this job, and then go back to Taoist Temple to retire!
Li Haoran secretly made up his mind.
Going down a mountain is always much faster than going up a mountain.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. After walking a little further, they could see Datian Village.
At this point, Ergen stopped asking questions and became a little nervous.
He was worried that when he arrived in the village, what he would see would be a purgatory-like scene.
Although he is afraid of death, he still has some feelings for the villagers.
This was also the reason why after meeting Li Haoran, he chose to ask him to go down the mountain to ward off the evil spirit instead of staying on the mountain for a day or two as he originally thought.
However, when Ota Village came into view, Ergen was shocked by what he saw.
Not only was it not the purgatory-like scene Ergen imagined.
On the contrary, Otamura actually...
No different than usual!
There are many villagers working on the farmland surrounding the village. There are also many people coming and going on the village roads. Every one of them will stop and chat for a while when they meet an acquaintance.
You can still hear the hearty laughter of the village aunt from a long distance away.
Seeing this scene, Li Haoran glanced at Er Gen from the corner of his eye.
Er Gen was also a little stunned, this was completely different from what he thought.
"this...."
Just as Ergen was about to speak, he was interrupted by a shout from not far away.
"Two roots!!"
The two of them looked around and saw an old man walking towards them with a cane and waving his hand.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, where did you go if you died so early in the morning?!"
At this time, the old man who came to the two of them noticed Li Haoran.
"Who is this person?"
Seeing that Li Haoran was young and dressed as a Taoist priest, the old man's eyes were filled with suspicion, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull Ergen aside.
In the early days of the strange phenomenon a few years ago, many Taoist priests took the opportunity to make money, thus causing many unnecessary casualties.
Later, official organizations began to vigorously promote and suppress religious groups. It took several years to plant the seeds of religious distrust in the hearts of the people.
But Li Haoran didn't care about the old man's suspicious eyes.
When he entered the village just now, he had already used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and there was indeed a place in the village where the atmosphere on the ground was extremely abnormal.
In Li Haoran's perception, that place was like a cesspit that had not been taken care of all year round, exuding an indescribable stench.
At this time, Ergen was pulled aside by the old man, explaining something anxiously.
"Village Chief, I didn't lie to you, this is true!"
"My father became really weird last night and killed my mother-in-law and son, so I ran up the mountain overnight."
"I met this Taoist priest on the mountain. He is a man of real ability. It was with great difficulty that I asked him to come down from the mountain to help ward off evil spirits."
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, the old man puffed his beard and glared. He was so angry that he hit Er Gen's leg with the crutch in his hand, which made him grimace in pain.
"Have you forgotten what those black policemen said before?"
"Everyone who says they can drive away evil spirits and kill evil spirits, especially these Taoists, are all liars!"
"I went to your house this morning. Your mother-in-law and your son are doing fine!"
"I think you were deceived and were helping count money!"
The old man glared at Er Gen with hatred. The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and his chest kept rising and falling.
But Ergen didn't know how to explain it. He just believed in everything he saw.
Before, Li Haoran could no longer control his body with just a slight wave of his hand. Isn't this a magical method?
At the moment, he could only break free from the old man's hand temporarily.
"Village Chief, please don't be stubborn with me yet. Anyway, I'll take the Taoist priest over to have a look first, and then I'll tell you."
After saying that, Ergen ran directly to Li Haoran without waiting for the village chief's reply.
"Taoist priest, go this way."
After saying that, they ignored the old man's attempts to stop him and walked directly towards Ergen's home.
The mystery must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows what will happen.
Ergen thought to himself.
We must solve that weird problem as soon as possible, but we lead the pigs and chickens back to the mountain. The pigs give birth to piglets, and the chickens lay eggs. There is meat for every meal, and there is meat and fish for every meal, hehehehe.
Li Haoran thought so in his heart.
In this way, the two people with their own thoughts soon arrived near Ergen's house.
"stop!"
Just when he was about a few dozen meters away from Ergen's house, Li Haoran suddenly reached out and stopped Ergen.
"What's wrong, Taoist priest?"
Ergen thought Li Haoran must have discovered something and looked at him nervously.
Li Haoran did not reply, but stretched out his hand forward with a serious face.
Suddenly, with Li Haoran's touch, ripples appeared in the air in front of the two of them.
"The area around your house seems to be isolated by a strange force that ordinary people cannot touch. Even if you get close to here, what you see is only superficial fantasy and you cannot discover the real scene."
Having said that, Li Haoran silently mobilized the magic power in his body, preparing to penetrate it into the barrier to destroy it.
“Comrade policeman, that’s the one!!”
However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him.
Li Haoran was forced to stop what he was doing and looked back with Ergen.
I saw the old man who had just been intercepted at the entrance of the village leading two people in black uniforms towards Li Haoran.
There were many villagers watching the fun and walking around.
Soon they arrived in front of Li Haoran.
"Comrade police, let me tell you, this man claims that he can ward off evil spirits, and he also wants to deceive the people in our village."
"Fortunately, you guys came here today. If you had come late, that silly Ergen might have defrauded others of his family fortune."
Listening to the old man's story, the two policemen in black looked at Li Haoran gradually with unkind eyes.
Didi didi didi!!
Just when one of the old policemen was about to say something, a piercing siren suddenly sounded from his body.
The expression of the old policeman suddenly changed.
"Everyone, stay away from here immediately and don't come near!"
"There's something weird here!"
The old policeman immediately shouted at the people around him.
Wow!
As soon as they heard that something strange was going on here, the surrounding villagers immediately exploded and ran towards the outside of the village with frightened faces.
The village elder took the lead and ran away so fast that he completely lost his trembling appearance.
"Xiao Zhang, go and arrest that Taoist priest and keep him aside. Then follow me to investigate."
