With the help of a bronze mirror, Xu Junming could clearly see a gray cloud hanging over Anyuan Town.
He was extremely familiar with corpse energy and recognized it at a glance.
However, in addition to corpse energy, there is also a trace of scarlet blood energy.
"It seems that the corpse disaster in Anyuan Town is not as simple as it seems."
"Taoist priest, our town is ahead."
Liu Asheng, who was walking in front, pointed to the small town in the valley.
He glanced curiously at the black cat lying on Xu Junming's shoulder. He always felt that the cat's eyes were deep and looked like a human being.
Thinking of the rumors he had heard about black cats, Liu Asheng did not dare to look at them anymore, and hurriedly led Xu Junming along the mountain road towards Anyuan Town.
After twists and turns, about half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the village.
At noon, the sun shines brightly, but there are only a few pedestrians on the busiest street in Anyuan Town. Those who occasionally go there are in a hurry.
And everyone looked obviously wary.
"Our town used to be very prosperous, but now that there are zombies, no one dares to come out." Liu Asheng said.
Xu Junming nodded and raised his hand.
"What is that place?"
"Oh, that's the church."
"church?"
Looking at the several floors of earthen buildings in the distance, they really couldn't compare with the image of the church in his mind.
Liu Asheng nodded.
"The church was built by two foreign monks. I heard they came from Italy. It was prosperous for a few years at first, but after the death of the two foreign monks, it was completely abandoned."
"It's almost the same as Jiuquan Town, but I wonder if there are any foreign zombies in it? However, the yin energy is very heavy." Xu Junming thought to himself.
"Taoist priest, the town office is ahead."
Xu Junming briefly looked at the elegant building with green bricks in front, and then strode in under the leadership of Liu Asheng.
The town office is a new thing that appeared after the revolution. It is the place where the mayor of the town has his office. Therefore, the whole building is made of blue bricks and wood. Although it is not called luxury, it is considered a rare high-quality building in this small mountain town.
After passing through the courtyard with several pots of flowers, we came to the open hall inside, which was obviously used for entertaining guests.
"Master, wait a minute, I'll call the mayor!"
Xu Junming nodded.
Liu Asheng turned around and walked into the backyard. Not long after, the sounds of messy and rapid footsteps came closer and closer.
Soon, a rich-looking middle-aged man wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket came out with Liu Asheng, who had left earlier, and a young man in military uniform with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
The two parties looked at each other, and the middle-aged man cupped his hands and smiled.
"Anyuan Town Mayor Luo Taibao met the Taoist Chief."
"Xu Junming, the Nanzong of Maoshan, met Jushi Luo."
Xu Junming slapped his head on the head.
"I heard Ah Sheng just say that Taoist Xu and Taoist Yimei are from the same sect?"
"Exactly."
"I have always heard that Taoist Master Yimei of Renjia Town has great magical powers and can subjugate demons and demons. He never fails. I wonder if Taoist Master Xu...?"
Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"Although my ability is not as good as my uncle, it is still not a problem to solve the corpse disaster in Anyuan Town."
"You said it can be solved, but what if it can't be solved?" the young man in military uniform said suddenly.
"This is Lou Guangnan, the security captain of this town, Captain Lou!" Luo Taibao introduced.
Lou Guangnan raised his chin a few inches, a trace of unruliness and pride showing on his face.
Seeing that this person had a similar appearance to Ah Wei, the security captain of Renjia Town, Xu Junming said calmly.
"If I can't solve it, I won't take any money."
"Haha, this is what you said."
Xu Junming nodded slightly.
"Captain Lou, what if I solve it?"
"Fifty yuan is the ocean, every penny is a lot."
"I don't want the money. If I solve the ghost trouble in Anyuan Town, can Captain Lou give me the jade pendant around his neck?"
Lou Guangnan subconsciously covered his neck, with a hint of wariness on his face.
"No, this is my family heirloom."
Xu Junming patted the magic bag, and ten small yellow croakers appeared in his palm.
"What if we add these one hundred taels of gold?"
"gold?!"
Not only Lou Guangnan, but also Lou Taibao and Liu Asheng all had greedy looks on their faces.
One hundred taels of gold is equivalent to three thousand taels of silver. No one in Anyuan Town can have such a large amount of money.
Lou Guangnan subconsciously took two steps forward, picked up a gold bar from Xu Junming's hand, put it in his mouth and bit it.
"real!"
After confirming the authenticity, Lou Guangnan became even more greedy.
After hesitating for a moment, he took off the family heirloom from his neck, handed it to Xu Junming, and then put all the gold into his arms.
"make a deal!"
Xu Junming smiled and said: "Deal!"
"Mayor, Mr. Xu, you guys talk first, and I'll leave first."
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to reply, Lou Guangnan hurriedly walked out of the town office with the gold in his arms. Of course he had to hide such a large amount of wealth first.
"Daozhang Xu, I also have a family heirloom here, why don't you take a look at it too?"
Luo Taibao took out a jade pendant from under his neck.
"And me."
Liu Asheng also followed suit.
Xu Junming shook his head.
"It's a pity that I'm only interested in Captain Lou's family heirloom."
Luo Taibao's face showed deep reluctance, but he quickly said.
"Daozhang Xu, there are still many more at home...!"
Interrupt him.
"Mayor Luo, Pindao is here to drive away demons. Please send someone to show Pindao around the town first."
Seeing that he was indeed unwilling, Luo Taibao's face changed slightly and his tone became a bit stiff.
"Ah Sheng, take the Taoist priest out for a walk."
Although Liu Asheng also felt regretful, he was not so jealous and nodded after hearing this.
"Taoist Master, please."
Xu Junming cupped his hands, turned around and walked outside the town hall.
Looking at his back, Luo Taibao's eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Left the town hall.
"Taoist Master, where are we going?"
"Go to the church first."
"Okay, please come this way."
"Meow, Master, why did you spend a hundred taels of gold to buy a broken pendant?" Mao Miaomiao's spiritual consciousness transmitted the message.
Xu Junming took out the pendant he had just bought. On the red string that had been dyed black by Lou Guangnan's grease, dust, and dead skin, there was an egg-sized, earthy brown, pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha statue hanging on it.
"Don't say a hundred taels of gold, even ten thousand taels of gold. I would be willing to exchange it for this thing." Xu Junming's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
Mao Miaomiao, who knew her master's greedy and stingy character very well, became curious.
The round cat eyes are almost falling out, and there is no clue from this Maitreya Buddha.
I simply didn’t watch it.
"Meow meow, sir, what on earth is this broken Buddha statue?"
"I will tell you after the seal above is removed."
"Hey, you're selling it off again."
"Taoist Master, we're just ahead."
Xu Junming nodded.
"Liu Shi, your Mayor Luo Taibao is quite famous in Anyuan Town, right?"
Liu Asheng looked around and whispered after seeing no one around.
"To tell you the truth, Mayor Luo, our Mayor Luo, dominates the entire Anyuan Town. Half of the land and shops in the town belong to him. Moreover, he also has a younger brother named 'Luo Shaobao' who controls the town.
Go to all the gambling houses and brothels."
"The two brothers of the Luo family are called the 'Two Tigers of the Luo Family' in Anyuan Town."
"The two tigers of the Luo family? It's a very domineering name, but I don't think Captain Lou is afraid of him."
"Hey, Captain Lou is the brother-in-law of the county security captain Chen Youliang. He has a strong background, so naturally he won't be afraid of them."
"I see. The Luo family brothers are so powerful in Anyuan Town. They only bully men and dominate women, and they often do things that take human life lightly, right?"
Liu Asheng's face changed drastically, and his nervous tone changed.
"Taoist Priest, don't dare to say such nonsense."
Seeing how scared he was, Xu Junming smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Ever since he entered Anyuan Town, he had been using bronze mirrors to search for corpse aura, but he could not see the corpse aura. Instead, he saw strong resentment and blood evil aura on Luo Taibao's body.
Apparently many innocent souls died at the hands of this man.
Afraid that Xu Junming would say anything outrageous again and hurt himself, Liu Asheng quickened his pace a lot and distanced himself from him. Not long after, he arrived at the church outside the town.
"Heheha, Heiha...!"
Before I even walked in, I heard a loud chant.
I looked up and saw a big blue butt twisting around on an earthen building directly opposite, as if it was pulling something heavy.
In the courtyard in the middle of the church, the weeds were trimmed and the debris was cleared away, revealing the hard stone slabs underneath.
The earth building on the left has also been renovated. It is not brand new, but at least it can be lived in.
"Liu Shi, this church doesn't look like it's abandoned."
After Liu Asheng nodded, he took two steps forward and shouted loudly.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"ah!"
The sudden sound from behind frightened the man on the wall to tremble, scream, and fall down from the top.
Xu Junming flicked his sleeves, and a surging secret energy rushed over.
"Hey, I'm not dead?"
After Wu Zi screamed for a while and realized that she had not gone to see God, a fat Western female monk wearing a blue robe got up from the ground.
“Thank you Lord Almighty!”
After praying for a moment, the female monk, who looked like a Russian aunt in later generations, got up from the ground and walked to Liu Asheng fiercely, roaring like thunder.
"What's your name? It's so loud all of a sudden. People are scared to death by you!"
Liu Asheng was also in shock at this moment, but after seeing that no one died in the end, his nervousness calmed down a little. However, he was overwhelmed by the aura of this middle-aged female cultivator, his face turned red, but he could not say anything.
"Dean...?"
Four young female monks ran out from the back of the church with panicked expressions.
"Dean, how are you?"
"Dean, are you okay?"...
The chirping sound made Xu Junming understand more deeply that a woman could compete with five hundred ducks. It was indeed not a lie. It was really noisy.
"Stop arguing, I'm fine."
After comforting her apprentice, Maria looked at the young Taoist next to her who always had a calm expression and a calm temperament.
Having preached in China for many years, she also has a certain understanding of the local Chinese religions.
