The ashen-faced Lao Mai never imagined that things would turn out like this! He actually wanted to sit quietly under the Shekou, raising his neck to act like an uncle and a hero! His feet were trembling, and he wanted to find an excuse to run away. , Unexpectedly, everyone shouted in unison: "Lao Mai! Lao Mai! Well done! Well done! Go up, go up!..." He had no choice but to be half-lifted and half-pushed to the platform. .
"Now, our personnel have been decided! We are still missing one person who is most disrespectful to the Snake Immortal! Who dares to come up!" shouted the Taoist priest with a dignified appearance.
The audience was completely silent. Among the villagers, no one dared to come forward! Captain Du originally wanted to rush forward, but Liao Mu stopped him with a wink.
"I think Yang Jiao from our village can come and take on this responsibility! Because he was the one who led the young people in the village to attack your snake fairy last night! He is the culprit!" Seeing that no one in the audience dared to come up, Lao Mai Suddenly I thought of Yang Jiao!
"Oh, so he is an excellent candidate. Can this person be below?" asked the Taoist priest with a dignified appearance.
"Uncle Yang didn't come today!" someone from the audience called out.
"Uncle Mai, what you said is wrong! Uncle Yang still risked his life just for me and Village Chief Wang. Is it wrong for him to save people? We should be swallowed alive by the snake? Are you old and confused? How can you talk like this? What kind of snake fairy? Isn't it just a snake? If that beast hadn't run so fast last night, he might have died!" Principal Wolf snorted dissatisfied.
"Principal Wolf, I don't know much about your situation last night, but don't just rely on everyone liking you to talk nonsense. You must know that you are also one of the people who is disrespectful to the snake fairy!" Lao Mai said gloomily.
"Oh, it turns out that this young man is the principal, and he was mistaken! Having said that, I think you are also a good candidate for the last choice. You dare to curse the snake fairy in public. It seems that you are indeed very bold and awesome! How about it? , Dare you try?" Before Principal Lang could reply to Lao Mai, Mung Bean Eyes spoke up. The handsome Taoist priest wanted to stop Mung Bean Eyes from speaking, but was a step too late.
When the Taoist priest said this, everyone's eyes were fixed on him on the stage and off the stage. From the eyes of everyone, it could be seen that there were still a small number of people who agreed that Principal Lang could do this. And these people who agreed were of course Most of them were villagers who donated their livestock. Of course, they hoped that Principal Lang would agree, so that their livestock could naturally be taken back, although this was somewhat unbearable.
Principal Wolf was a little hesitant. After all, he was the one who was chased by your big snake twice. He was almost killed by the evil snake each time. He was so frightened by you that he lost three of his soul. If he had to face him, If you say you are not afraid of this scary python, of course you are lying!
At this time, Liao Mu pulled him aside, put his mouth to his ear and said in the lowest voice: "Don't be afraid, Principal Wolf, I really got an anti-tank gun for you this time. Don't worry." Speaking of this little long worm, even if a female tyrannosaurus comes, I believe that we can blow it to pieces! Besides, those four divine artillerymen of Du Tian will definitely blow you into the sky with one shot, don't worry! "
After hearing this, Principal Wolf looked at him blankly, while Liao Mu nodded with certainty.
So, with Liao Mu's words full of confidence, Principal Lang walked up to the Taoist priest with a single step: "Okay! I'm one of them! So everyone has to squat in the bullpen tonight, too."
It's just...fate, I didn't ask for advice..."
"Bao Dao Yuan Ding, this is my second junior brother Yuan Feng, and that is my third junior brother Yuan Yun." Yuan Ding introduced himself, then introduced mung bean-eyed Yuan Feng and big-faced Yuan Yun to Principal Wolf and others.
"Okay! Taoist Priest Yuanding, let's go back and prepare now. We'll see you at midnight tonight." Liao Mu didn't bother with him. He walked off the platform first, and then asked someone to return the cows, pigs, and donkeys to the innocent victims.
Once the villagers saw that their fat cows, pigs and donkeys were in the hands of those who had lost them, they would not be happy. The group of people surrounding Liao Mu were naturally grateful. Thank you very much.
Afterwards, he led the ox, the donkey, and the fat pig, and went home happily.
After everyone left, only the frowning senior brothers Yuanding and Lao Mai were left on the platform.
"Master Yuan, do we really have to spend the night in this cowshed tonight?" Lao Mai asked weakly.
"That's natural. Otherwise, how can we prove our innocence?" Yuan Ding replied affirmatively. "Old village chief, you go back first! We still need to spend some time to communicate with the Snake Fairy."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and prepare lunch first. After you finish practicing, you can come to my house for dinner!" Lao Mai agreed, got off the platform and returned to the village.
"Senior brother, do we really have to do this?" Yuan Feng asked the same question.
"Junior brother, since we were expelled from the mountain by the master who believed in the slander, we have been wandering for many years. It can be said that we have been wandering without a fixed location. Either sleeping in the open air, being exposed to the rain or the sun, or living under the shelter of others, and being looked down upon by others. In fact, I
I have long had the idea that we should set up our own business. Today, when we come to this spiritual place, I really want to build a Taoist temple here." Yuan Ding sighed and answered the question.
"What, senior brother, aren't you confused? Don't forget the purpose of coming here. Although we are Taoist priests, we have already violated the precepts and are no longer real monks. Wake up, senior brother! The spiritual energy here is
Enough, that's true, but have you noticed that the evil spirit here seems to be very strong!" Yuan Feng said with a strange cry.
"Junior brother, don't always think about those yellow and white things in the secular world. After all, although you are kicked out of the master's door, as long as you become a monk for one day, whether you admit it or not, after all, we are still monks. Yes, you said
The evil spirit here is very strong, which is what I find strange. In the heaven and earth, the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, mountains and rivers, all have their own fixed laws of movement and balance. Take the yin and yang energy as an example.
Clear is yang, and yin is turbid. Whether it is an ordinary and vulgar place, or a remote and wild place, or far away from the sea, near a lake, Gobi, grassland, desert, etc., the clear air and the turbid air are clearly distinguished, and the clear air should be clear.
If it is clear, it is spiritual energy. If it is turbid, it is turbid energy, which is evil energy. But here the spiritual energy and evil energy seem to be mixed together. What should rise instead falls, and what should fall instead rises. This is very puzzling to people."
Yuan Ding also said doubtfully.
"Senior Brother, I understand all this! But the problem is, you have to understand that things have to be prioritized. We have spent a lot of effort to get here. Is this why you study the energy of heaven and earth?
Just build a Taoist temple. Besides, in this deep mountain, even if you build a Taoist temple, how many people will come to burn incense and worship Buddha? Aren’t we all drinking the northwest wind?"
"Senior Brother Feng, don't be anxious. Senior Brother didn't say that we must build a Taoist temple here. Maybe Senior Brother means that if we build a Taoist temple on this mountain pass, it can conceal people's eyes and ears, make it easier for us to do things, and cultivate our mind and nature, killing two birds with one stone. Why not? That's right, Senior Brother." Seeing that his two senior brothers were about to quarrel again, Yuan Yun quickly said to smooth things over.
"It seems that Third Junior Brother's temperament is more calm! How can you, Yunfeng, be impatient at all times? Do you look like a monk? If you are so impetuous, you will suffer big losses one day! But then again, I I think that if we have to build a Taoist temple here, I don’t see a big problem. Look, the beautiful mountains and clear waters here and the charming scenery are really good. There is also this big mountain that rises straight into the sky and is surrounded by immortal energy. It is also an extraordinary place. An ideal place. Or maybe the python really has some background and destroys the yin and yang here. We can wait for a while before making a conclusion. If one day I really get tired from running outside, to be honest, I would rather be here Retiring for life, practicing and enlightening. This can be regarded as the end of a depression that has troubled me for many years." Yuan Ding said with mung bean eyes.
"Senior brother, I know that the knot in your heart is that you still want to be your Taoist priest. I understand all of this. This is good. If we really get what we want from this Fell Soul Mountain, what will happen in the future? Whether it’s a Taoist temple or accepting disciples, I’ll listen to my senior brother in everything, how about that?” Yuan Feng said solemnly.
"You, please stop swearing here. I don't know you yet. Maybe I will forget all about the oaths I swore today when I sleep at night!" Yuan Ding replied with a sneer.
"Hehehe, senior brother still understands me, so according to senior brother's wishes, how should we deal with tonight's events?" Yuan Feng said with a smile.
"I think we'll settle down when we come here. We decided to build a Taoist temple here first. No matter where we go, this can be our base camp, because I really don't want to wander around. Secondly, The public opinion is to open the church to preach. In fact, as Yuan Yun said, we must first find out the situation in the mountains. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Therefore, of course, we must first gain the trust of the local faithful men and women. Now that the village chief of Namai has come to see us, we might as well give it a try. First, to see if the weirdness here is caused by the python. Second, by the way, we can establish some prestige here. It might also be a good idea. The beginning of. So, of course we have to keep the appointment tonight!"
"Senior brother, if you had said this earlier, wouldn't it be fine? Hehehehe..." Yuan Feng said with a wicked smile.
Yuan Feng was very happy, but Yuan Yun seemed to be still thinking about something. Yuan Ding asked with a smile: "Junior brother, with the skills of the few of us, are we still afraid of snakes?" After Yuan Yun heard this, he suddenly He smiled and said: "No, these are not problems. How can a reptile catch our senior brothers? I think those who are against us today may not be easy to deal with! I always feel that they are up to some conspiracy."
"Junior brother, so you are worried about this! Don't worry, these few of them just have a policeman and a few broken guns. We have not broken any laws. He can shoot at us for no reason with just a few guns. ?This is impossible!" Yuan Feng said disapprovingly.
"Yuan Feng, don't be careless in everything. Among those people, the professor is just a nerd and is nothing to worry about. The policeman is a law enforcement officer. It's not surprising that he hates us. After all, we are in his eyes. Here, he is a kind of magic stick figure. But judging from his appearance, he is quite tough and will not mess around. What I think is interesting is that... the wolf principal, yes, the wolf principal!" Yuan Ding After saying that, he frowned slightly.
"Principal Wolf, that young boy? What can he mean? I think he is just a kid. Senior brother, why do you care about this underage kid?" Yuan Feng asked in surprise and strangeness.
"It's not a scruple! Yunfeng, your senior brother, I have seen countless people in my life. I must be at least 60 to 70% accurate in judging people! I think that guy, although he is polite and gentle on the surface, but from the look in his eyes It can be seen that this is a very cruel guy." Yuan Ding explained.
"A very ruthless guy? Senior brother, why didn't I see it?" Yuan Yun asked.
"Of course, that's just because you didn't look carefully. A person with his personality is a very vindictive monster. Usually, he will be very kind to others, but if he is angered, he may I will settle accounts with you at all costs and by any means. So, you two, listen up. I will build a Taoist temple here in the future. Don’t provoke this person easily to cause unnecessary trouble. Especially you, Yunfeng! Today It was your impulsiveness that led him into this situation. Remember, don’t do it again!”
"Well, Senior Brother is right. After thinking about it carefully, I also think that boy is a bit evil. From now on, we will try to have as little contact with him as possible!" Yuan Yun agreed honestly.
"Okay, I'll listen to my senior brother! Is it necessary for you to make such a young guy mysterious? You also said that he has a conspiracy? Where is the conspiracy? Hum, Master Feng, I can't wait to see you today That python swallowed that kid first!" Yuan Feng muttered in a low voice.
"Okay, stop complaining. That's it for now. Talking too much is useless. Since those people dare to play games with us, it means they must be well prepared. We can't be careless. Let's discuss what we should pay attention to tonight. Details. Come, look at the marks left by the snake when it crawled. It seems that the big snake disappeared into the deep pool..." After Yuan Ding finished speaking, he led his two junior brothers to the edge of the deep pool. , started their game warm-up for tonight’s This Is Not a Game.
However, while Yunfeng was muttering in a low voice, Principal Lang and Liao Mu were really planning a conspiracy, and this conspiracy was directly aimed at the three brothers.
