Chapter 118: Rare Breeds 'Third update, additional update for the Mid-Autumn Festival'
Why is Zhang Heng so sure that the exorcist priest will like Father Wu?
Because in the plot, as long as Father Wu plays the piano and sings the Bible, he will play an ensemble of gongs and drums outside the church. Just like the ancient story of Boya and Zhong Ziqi, they met a close friend in the mountains and flowing water.
How wonderful!
"Master, look who's coming!"
Under the leadership of Zou Zhaoxing, Zhang Heng and Father Wu came to the Taoist temple.
The Taoist Exorcist's gym is not big. Directly opposite the door is a ancestral hall. Going inside, there are two small rooms and a two-story attic. It looks quite shabby.
According to Zou Zhaoxing, they used to live in the south room and the master lived in the north room. The attic was used for storing magical instruments.
Later, when he and Xiaoyue grew up, it was not suitable to live in the same house, so the exorcist priest moved to the attic.
Zou Zhaoxing and Xiaoyue didn't grow up in a day.
From this sentence, it is not difficult to find that the living standard of the exorcist Taoist priest is not very good. Otherwise, after living here for more than ten years, not to mention changing the Taoist temple to a Taoist temple, he should have changed to a bigger house.
"Ah Heng is here!"
Hearing the shouting outside, the exorcist priest looked over and smiled when he saw Zhang Heng.
"Uncle Master."
Zhang Heng bowed politely, and then ordered to Adjutant Wu: "Bring up the gift I gave to my uncle."
"Yes, Marshal."
Wu Zhichong commanded several soldiers and presented the gifts brought by Zhang Heng.
The exorcist priest took a closer look.
They are all packed in boxes. Although I don’t know what is inside, I can tell by looking at the box that they are not cheap.
"Uncle Master, the last time you went to Rongcheng, I found that you really liked the pastries in Rongcheng."
"I came here this time and brought you four boxes of pastries, four boxes of dried meat, and four boxes of dried fish from Hainan. You can use them as a side dish when you have nothing to do."
Zhang Heng did not prepare many gifts.
But the box he was talking about was not a flat moon cake gift box, but a large gift box with five layers stacked on top of each other, which looked like a steamer with steamed buns.
There are five layers in this gift box, and each layer is a kind of snack or dried meat.
One box weighs at least a dozen kilograms, and twelve boxes contain more than a hundred kilograms of snacks and dried meat, which is enough for Exorcist Taoist Priest A Xing and the others to eat for several months.
"Come on, come on. Why are you embarrassed to bring so many things?"
The exorcist priest had a happy face and kept looking at the snack gift box.
Zhang Heng understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Open a box and let my uncle taste it to see if it tastes the same as last time."
Opening a box of pastries, the aroma hits your nose.
The Taoist Exorcist saw the snacks inside and the separate oil paper packaging. He knew that Zhang Heng had specially prepared them because he was afraid that they would eat them slowly and eat them badly. He nodded repeatedly and said: "I am determined, I am determined."
"Master, let me open it for you."
Zou Zhaoxing knew that the exorcist Taoist priest was embarrassed to do anything, but he had no such worries and quickly opened a pack of snacks.
I picked up a piece and threw it in my mouth. The snack melted in my mouth and was full of nutty flavor. I couldn't help but praise: "Master, it smells so good!"
"The ones you eat are caramel almond cookies. Eat a few pieces when you're hungry. You'll be very hungry."
Zhang Heng picked up two pieces and handed them to the exorcist priest and Xiaoyue respectively: "Try it. If you don't like it, there are crispy melon seed cakes, apple cakes, cream biscuits, chocolate sandwich bars, ginger candy slices, and cloud cakes.
, there are many kinds of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and there are snacks from all over the north and south.”
Xiaoyue put a piece into her mouth and immediately narrowed her eyes: "I have eaten almond cakes before, but they are not as delicious as this one."
"Of course, I have a dedicated pastry chef at home. The best chef uses the best ingredients to make it carefully. It is completely different from what you can eat on the street."
Zhang Heng answered while looking at the exorcist priest: "Uncle Master, how does it taste?"
The exorcist Taoist smiled broadly: "I'm afraid that if I'm picky about food, I'll be like those down-and-out princes who won't be able to eat anything else."
"How could it be? My nephew, I was waiting for you to tell me. Before you even opened your mouth, I brought you whatever you like to eat."
Zhang Heng has this condition.
Don't talk about buying people's hearts. Ask yourself, who doesn't want to be bought like this?
Anyway, when the exorcist priest heard this, he felt very happy from the bottom of his heart and ate two more snacks.
"Uncle, I forgot to tell you, this is Father Wu, who came to Jiuquan Town to open a church."
Zhang Heng helped introduce Father Wu.
"The original owner bless you, Amen."
Father Wu smiled cheerfully, not dissatisfied at all with the cold reception.
Because in his opinion, since Zhang Heng is the same person as the next successor to the Pope, his elders must be the top leaders of the sect.
Although the exorcist priest doesn't seem to be doing very well, don't forget that there are also a group of ascetic monks in the Vatican. I'm sure this thick-browed priest is such a respectable ascetic.
"Open a church?"
The exorcist priest frowned slightly and pulled Zhang Heng aside: "That church is not clean!"
"Uncle, isn't that better?"
Zhang Heng secretly glanced at Father Wu inside, and said in a low voice: "Add a few talismans to the Bible, and then come to the monastery to burn incense sticks after the service. We have both face and dignity, so why not do it?"
"this"
The exorcist priest hesitated.
Zhang Heng looked suspicious when he saw this and asked, "Uncle Master, aren't you worried that something is wrong and you can't handle it yourself?"
The exorcist Taoist priest suddenly became anxious: "How could it be possible? Your uncle and I are not just for a living."
"That's okay, this is a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."
"I see that you, Uncle Master, are not very good at your business, and your business on weekdays is probably not very good either."
Zhang Heng asked: "Uncle, have you ever heard the story of the three Bian Que brothers?"
The exorcist Taoist was not illiterate, so he immediately asked: "But the story of Wei Wenhou asking Bian Que, among the three brothers, who has the best medical skills?"
Zhang Heng nodded: "Bian Que said that his eldest brother can cure diseases before they occur, and ordinary people only say that his medical skills are average. The second brother can treat diseases at the beginning of the disease, and ordinary people only say that he can cure minor illnesses."
"Bian Que also said that he could only treat serious illnesses. Everyone was shocked when they saw it. They thought he could bring the dead back to life and thought he had the best medical skills."
"Now, you are Bian Que's eldest brother."
"There is some trouble here in Jiuquan Town, and you will nip it in the cradle immediately."
"Say yes, of course it's great."
"But in the eyes of the people, you are just a third-rate Taoist priest who has done nothing and can only host weddings and weddings. They even think that you are the same as without you."
"Just in time, let's take advantage of Father Wu's reopening of the church and ask him to release that dirty thing."
"When the time comes, you can solve things that Father Wu can't solve. Isn't it clear who to trust?"
Listen to each sentence.
The more the exorcist priest listened, the more reasonable he felt, but he couldn't bring himself to do it: "This is a good idea, it should improve my situation, but I know clearly that there are dirty things in the church, but I still don't stop them and let them go to Hushan.
Is it immoral to open a church?"
Zhang Heng looked at the exorcist Taoist with a question mark on his face and thought to himself: "Aren't you referring to Sang and scolding me?"
You know, this idea was his. To call him immoral is not to scold him.
"That's all I said."
Seeing Zhang Heng's expression, the exorcist priest immediately understood what he was thinking, and quickly said: "Based on the current situation, I'm afraid I just don't want them to reopen the church, and neither will the parishioners or this priest.
Listen to me."
"That's true."
Zhang Heng explained the origin of Father Wu: "This Father Wu is an ascetic monk from the Vatican. He has practiced asceticism and has a strong will. If he is not allowed to reopen the church in the name of dirty things in the church, I am afraid he will not
I will agree."
On the train, Zhang Heng often chatted with Father Wu.
If Father Wu didn't have the habit of bragging, he should have a few brushes.
For example, he once told Zhang Heng that he had dealt with werewolves, vampires, and little demons and evil spirits that escaped from hell in Europe.
After all, he is a priest who has experienced many battles, not an ordinary person.
Of course, there are big differences between werewolves and vampires in the West and zombies and ghosts in the East.
His method works well in the West, but may not work in the East.
Take the man in the church.
If Zhang Heng remembered correctly, there was a terrifying alien with two forms inside.
Why is it said to be alien?
Because he is a vampire in his normal state, but besides being a vampire, he also has a zombie form.
In zombie form, it is not afraid of crosses, Bibles, silverware, holy water and garlic.
In vampire form, he is not afraid of cinnabar, dog blood, peach wood sword, and ordinary talismans.
This kind of combination of Chinese and Western styles is very rare.
Zhang Heng thought about it.
If he could be captured and given to Master, Master Xu would definitely like it.
