The walking corpses jumped and attacked, causing the wolves to disorder their formation. The alpha wolf roared several times before calming down the panicked younger brothers.
Wolves versus corpses, the battle begins.
The Taoist raised his long flag and joined the battle circle. Liao Wenjie saw that he was such a warm-hearted person and was embarrassed to watch. He exerted his strength with his iron sand palm and slapped away the hungry wolf in front of him.
"Ouch! Woohoo—"
In less than thirty seconds, the wolves were defeated and fled in all directions. Only one wolf was left, limping and twisting and turning towards the roadside.
Looking back, the wolf's eyes were fierce, and he remembered the faces of Liao Wenjie and the Taoist, as if he was a small-minded person who held a grudge.
This is not bad!
Liao Wenjie snorted coldly, stepped forward and kicked the first wolf down. The latter rolled to the ground, exploded with ferocity, and bit Liao Wenjie's calf.
Can't bite.
Snapped!
Liao Wenjie slapped him down, and the alpha wolf became even more ferocious. He stared at him with a pair of wolf eyes, and kept roaring in a low voice.
Snapped!
"Ho ho—"
Snapped!
"Ooohhoho—"
Snapped!
"..."
Snapped!
"Woooooooo..."
The wolf had to lower his head under the eaves, mainly because it was in too much pain. The alpha wolf suppressed the fierce glare in his eyes, lowered his eyebrows and replaced them with a submissive whine.
Seeing that Liao Wenjie stopped beating him, the alpha wolf limped up and walked towards the dark forest on the roadside.
"Silly dog, did you let me go?"
Liao Wenjie grabbed the wolf's tail, dragged it back to its original position, avoided the alpha wolf's turn, and slapped it on the face with his backhand.
Snapped!
"Aww! Awww-"
Unable to fight and run away, the wolf was so angry that he rolled on the ground.
"Brother, what's the meaning of this?"
"Animals don't know how to repay kindness with kindness, and they are extremely vengeful. If they suffer a loss today, they will definitely come to seek revenge another day."
"Wouldn't it be better to kill him?"
"That's not right. God has the virtue of loving life, and you shouldn't kill animals at will."
Liao Wenjie shook his head: "I will keep it with me. I will give it a small dozen every three days and one dozen every five days. If its aura is removed, I will certainly be able to influence it."
"Can it be done? It doesn't sound very reliable!"
The Taoist wiped the sweat from his head. The alpha wolf was wild and untamable, and it could not easily turn into a big-tailed dog.
"You'll know if it works or not."
Liao Wenjie shrugged. This wolf was a good seller, and giving it to someone who was destined to be a gift would just relieve his financial constraints.
It doesn't matter if no one wants it, just sell it to a hotel at a low price and find another place to stay.
Thinking of this, the more he looked at the wolf, the happier he became.
"By the way, I would like to thank the Taoist Priest for your help today. I have never asked the Taoist Priest for his name."
"Brother, you're welcome, I'll..."
…
In the distance, wolves gathered together to lick their wounds, looking at the dirt road in the mountains, waiting for their boss to return.
After a while, the alpha wolf still did not return, the wolves continued to growl, and other sounds appeared in the stable hunting structure.
Wolf 2: A country cannot live without a king, and a family cannot live without a master. Before the boss comes back, I will take over!
Wolf Three: Second brother is right.
Wolf Four: Third brother is right.
…
"Taoist Priest Simu, it's already midnight, when will we arrive at your senior brother's house?"
Liao Wenjie was holding a cloth rope in his hand, and he was holding the wolf-faced Erhei with aggrieved face. That was the wolf. It was not black, but Liao Wenjie felt that the name was pretty good, at least it sounded much better than Goudaner.
As soon as the shackles were put on, Erhei bared his teeth and slapped him twice. He realized that silence is golden. He slapped him again and learned to wag his tail to please people.
Quite savvy, Liao Wenjie thought it could be sold at a good price.
"Come on, come on. After passing the Tutu Temple in front, walk two miles further to Renjiazhuang, where my senior brother lives."
While walking and chatting with the Taoist, Liao Wenjie got out a lot of information, such as the Taoist's identity and where he drove the corpse.
Taoist Simu and his senior brother Lin Jiu learned Maoshan Taoism. One opened a village to help people with Feng Shui; the other went out day and night to drive corpses, traveling to and from several surrounding towns and villages to send the souls who died in foreign lands back to their hometowns.
.
In as little as five days or as many as ten days, the two brothers and sisters will see each other.
Taoist Simu didn't say much, but Liao Wenjie listened and roughly guessed where he was, muttering whether Lin Jiu's real name was Lin Fengjiao.
Taoist Master Simu was chasing customers and chatting with Liao Wenjie while walking. He passed by the Tutu Temple, turned around and walked two miles further, when a small town appeared in front of him.
The town was originally a village, not called Renjiazhuang.
The cause was that a rich man named Ren from the village went to the provincial capital to fight for his life. After the situation became unstable, he returned home in rich clothes and built a street in the village as a market. Villagers from all over the country came here to attend the market.
As time went by, the market became more and more prosperous, and many wealthy people from provincial cities also chose to take refuge here, making the village more prosperous and gradually forming the size of a town.
Later, people only talked about the market and rarely mentioned the name of the village. In addition, the rich man Ren was the most influential here, so he subconsciously agreed with the new name of Renjiazhuang.
To put it simply, the Ren family controls the business routes in the market and provincial capitals, and the head of the Ren family is the local emperor here. Only the Ren family dominates, and no one dares to disturb them.
Bang bang bang!
"Brother, open the door, it's me!"
Taoist Simu put up the Dharma bell, asked the customers to take a break, then took two steps forward and started hammering on the door.
"I'm coming."
Lifting the wooden bolt, Lin Jiu, who had a unibrow shape, opened the wooden door. When he saw a strange face, he asked his junior brother with his eyes.
"Senior brother, this is Liao Wenjie. I met him on the way to remove corpses. Tiebushan is very skilled. He was catching wolves in the mountains late at night. Everyone happened to be passing by, so he came with me."
"Catching wolves in the mountains at night..."
Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Erhei squatting at Liao Wenjie's feet, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched: "This little brother, so... so elegant."
"Master Taoist, you're welcome, just call me Ajie."
"It's easy to say, come in first."
It was getting late, Taoist Simu had a tiring schedule, and after placing the client, he fell asleep.
Lin Jiu cooked a pot of porridge and took out a few pieces of bread and pickles, which were all eaten by Liao Wenjie.
"It's getting late, and the hotels outside are all closed. If Ajie doesn't mind that this is a charity village, he can..."
"The Taoist priest was joking. Thank God for not sleeping on the street. How can I say it with disdain?"
"Well, there is another side room in Yizhuang. I will clean it for you."
"No, it's late at night. Master Taoist, please go to bed early. I'll make do with it. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
The two exchanged some polite words, and Liao Wenjie tied Erhei into a rice dumpling with a rope, fell asleep in the side room, and began tonight's dream practice.
…
At dawn, as soon as the rooster started crowing, Liao Wenjie climbed up from the bed, untied Erhei's rope, and slapped him when he got up.
"Silly dog, if you are smarter and sell you, I will be able to enjoy the hot and spicy food. If you are not smart and can't sell it, I will only be able to enjoy the hot food and drink the spicy food."
Without Leon's ability to communicate with animals and plants, Liao Wenjie could only use simple and crude methods, slap him again, and drag Er Hei out of the side room.
"Ajie, are you up so early?"
In the yard, Lin Jiu took a broom to clean the dust. According to him, bad luck can be eliminated by taking care of things diligently.
"Where, the Taoist priest is earlier than me!"
"Stop calling me Daochang. It sounds weird. When I'm old, everyone calls me Uncle Jiu. If you don't mind, you can call me that."
"Okay, Uncle Jiu, I'll help you clean up together."
"We are guests from afar, how can we let them work?"
"Nothing."
Liao Wenjie tied Erhei to the door, grabbed the broom, and swept the courtyard inside and out.
Uncle Jiu sighed when he saw it. He was so infuriating. He was also a young man. Liao Wenjie was good-looking, polite, and hard-working. Unlike his apprentice, the chicken crowed three times and he was still chatting with Duke Zhou in his sleep.
