Tan Baiwan burst out laughing, with excitement in his eyes, and said:
"No wonder, it's true that famous teachers produce great disciples. Does Master Xu know that Uncle Jiu is in our Taishan Town?"
Xu Ce was surprised. Uncle Jiu was in Taishan Town. What was going on?
Tan Wanwan continued:
"Uncle Jiu came to Taishan Town a week ago. Tan also planned to ask Uncle Jiu to catch ghosts, but Uncle Jiu couldn't get away. He originally planned to wait until Uncle Jiu was done with his work before asking Uncle Jiu for help.
Unexpectedly, yesterday afternoon, I ran into Taoist Master Mao.
With the thought of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, I asked Director Mao to try it, but in the end, he was still beaten out.
Fortunately, I met Daochang Xu, otherwise, eh!"
Xu Ce listened and understood the rest of the words, but the previous words made him very confused.
"Exceptor Tan, my master is in Taishan Town? Seriously?"
"Yes, doesn't Master Xu know?"
Xu Ce nodded and said a little embarrassed:
"I went to Huangling Mountain a few days ago. I originally planned to go back to Renjia Town, but I took the wrong route when I was going down the mountain."
Tan Wanwan rolled his eyes and was shocked. He couldn't understand how someone with such great ability could go astray.
However, Tan Baiwan looked at Xu Ce's embarrassed look and changed the topic very tactfully, saying:
"Director Xu, this is fate. I have passed the fork in the road you mentioned many times. To go to Renjia Town, you should go to the right.
However, he chose the left road to Taishan Town and helped my Tan family solve such a big trouble.
Daochang Xu, you are the one sent by God to save our Tan family..."
Tan Wanwan was so eloquent that he almost praised Xu Ce to the sky.
Xu Ce felt that he was not thin-skinned at all, but at this moment he also felt blushing. It turned out that he was so good. It seemed that Helen Keller was right. For our eyes, it is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery.
For example, Tan Wanwan seems to have discovered a little too much.
"Ahem, that member Tan, tell me about my master, also known as Jiu Shuha, why did he come to Taishan Town?"
Xu Ce coughed twice, interrupted and asked.
"It's like this. Recently, there have been horse thieves in our town. These horse thieves know sorcery, and the security team in the town is no match for them.
Renjia Town was very close to Taishan Town, so he went to ask for help from the security team of Renjia Town.
The security captain over there was said to have a good relationship with Uncle Jiu, so he told Uncle Jiu about this, so Uncle Jiu came with him."
Tan Wanwan briefly explained the general situation of the matter.
Xu Ce frowned. Things came to light again. The horse thieves were indeed a group of horse thieves who knew magic.
"Member Tan, if that's the case, it's getting late. Let's go back to the town now. Does Mr. Tan know where my master and the others are resting?"
"The resting place, I think about it, seems to be at the Baohe Inn. I heard that I originally planned to stay at the Yamenkou, but the Yamen side is far away and not very convenient, so I temporarily requisitioned the Baohe Inn."
Tan Yuanwai thought for a while and replied.
The group of people set off, and Xu Ce remained silent on the way, thinking about what to do next.
This group of horse thieves are not ghosts, zombies, or monsters. If I had to use a word to describe them, it would be "demon"!
At this time, Mao Shanming walked up to Xu Ce, hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have a heartfelt request."
Xu Ce tilted his head and said:
"But it doesn't matter."
"I just heard from Yuan Tan that Taishan Town was being attacked by horse thieves who knew magic. I thought, well, I want to join. How about I be one of them?"
Mao Shanming hesitated for a moment and then said it.
Xu Ce looked at Mao Shanming curiously. This style of painting was wrong. This guy actually took the initiative.
"You're not joking, right?"
Mao Shanming shook his head in embarrassment, and then said seriously:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I am serious. In recent days, I have been walking around in several surrounding towns, and I have heard people mention the name Uncle Jiu many times. At first, I thought it was just a name in vain, but after seeing Friend Xu,
After this.
Only then did I realize that the frog in the well was me.
I have been practicing Buddhism for most of my life, and I must have noticed that my Taoist practice is only half-baked. I also want to visit a real master who can teach disciples like Dragon and Phoenix like Daoyou Xu.
I hope fellow Taoist Xu will give Pindao a chance."
"In addition, although Pindao and Xu Daoyou didn't get along for a long time, Xu Daoyou also made Pindao understand one thing. Although it is difficult to keep one's heart in this life, if you don't try, you will always remain.
Regret.
Pindao has been living a life of instability and he suddenly wants to settle down.
Just like the ghosts of the Zhou family, they can have a stable place to live and no longer wander around."
What Mao Shanming said was very sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy. After hearing these words, Xu Ce couldn't refuse anymore.
The prodigal son never changes his mind. Although this prodigal son is a bit too old, he has come back after all.
Xu Ce then said:
"Since Taoist Master Mao is interested, it doesn't hurt to introduce him to my master. Then when we get to the town, Taoist Mao will follow me."
Mao Shanming looked happy and said:
"Then thank you Daoist Fellow Xu."
Back in the town, it was still broad daylight, but there were still very few pedestrians on the streets, and even if there were, they were busy.
Although it has not spread yet that the ghosts of the Zhou family in Tan Zhai have been dealt with, the town is such a lonely scene in broad daylight. Now it seems that the real key to the problem is the threat of horse thieves who know magic.
If Uncle Jiu were not in Taishan Town, he would generally not participate in this kind of suppression of bandits.
But since Uncle Ninth is here, he, as an apprentice, naturally cannot ignore it.
"Commissioner Tan, this is the farewell. Farewell!"
When they reached the fork in the road, Xu Ce clasped his fists and said.
"Daozhang Xu, you must be careful. Those horse thieves are not simple. If you need any help, just come to Tan's house to see me. As long as I, Tan, can do it, I will do my best to help."
Tan Wanwan said it very truthfully. He is from Taishan Town. If the horse thieves really break in and Taishan Town is lost, then his family's foundation may also suffer.
Horse thieves like to rob rich families like them, and this is what rich people worry about the most.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tan, for your kindness. If you need anything, I will definitely ask."
After Xu Ce finished speaking, he turned and left.
Mao Shanming followed Xu Ce and remained silent.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the door of the "Baohe Inn" that Tan Baiwan had mentioned.
The door of the inn was closed tightly, but with Xu Ce's ears, he could hear rustling voices inside, and there should be quite a few people hiding inside.
