The expression of the old Taoist priest was extremely serious, and his face was so tense that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

"Brother Tian, ​​in my opinion, the two parties may have been harmed by that filthy creature!"

Mrs. Tian cried so hard that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Tian Yifang's wife quickly supported her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Although Tian Erfang was not well-liked and even a little annoying during his lifetime, he was still a member of the Tian family after all! Now that he died so miserably, the whole family was in unbearable pain and it was really hard to accept this fact.

"Uncle Dao, you are a very capable person! Please, please tell us what kind of filth my second brother has offended?" Tian Yifang has become the only person who can take the lead in the Tian family. Faced with the tragic situation in front of him, he could only stand up with grief and beg Hui Laodao to tell them the cause of Tian Erfang's death.

"Well... well, I can't say for sure what kind of filth is causing the trouble. But in my opinion, the problem may be in the place where you dug the well. Maybe there are some dirty things hidden underneath!" Gray Old Daoist frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke and expressed his guess.

"No wonder you reminded us yesterday and gave Erfang the incense ash bag. Unfortunately, we didn't take it seriously, and Erfang didn't even have the incense ash bag with him. This brat must have thrown it away. What a fate..."

"Uncle Dao, what should we do with this dirty thing now? Will it continue to harm people?" Tian Yifang's face was full of worry.

The villagers were also anxious, fearing that their families would be affected.

"Uncle Dao, you have to take care of this! If you can't deal with that dirty thing, our village will be doomed!"

"Yes, something happened in the village chief's family today, and tomorrow someone else's family might be in trouble! You must act quickly!"

Knowing that there was dirt under the yard, Mr. Tian had no time to be sad. He held the old Taoist's arm and begged with tears and snot.

"Brother, you must think of a way! If I don't get rid of that filth, I'll feel like I'm being scratched by a cat! If other people in the village are implicated, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die as an apology!"

The old Taoist had a bitter look on his face, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

"It's not that I don't want to help you get rid of that filth, it's just that I'm not good enough! I can't defeat even ten of these things!"

"What should we do, old brother?" Village Chief Tian looked desperate, like a deflated ball.

"Uncle Dao, if you can't do it, then there will be no way for our village to survive." The villagers became scared.

Tian Erfang's body was still lying on the ground.

Although it was covered with white cloth, the strange appearance was already deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble when they thought that they might be killed by the dirty things tonight.

Listening to the words of the villagers, Gray Old Taoist gritted his teeth and said.

He picked up three ancient bronze coins and threw them into a 2-meter-deep well.

Then he said to the villagers:

"I can only ask the Imperial Master to help. Everyone, follow me to my house to get some incense ash, wrap it in cloth, and put it on your body for self-defense. If I don't come back today, everyone must not go out at night. Remember?"

The villagers were fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and flocked to the Taoist priest Hui Lao to collect incense ashes.

Seeing that everyone had received the incense ashes, the Taoist priest said, "If I cannot return tonight, to prevent any accidents, those who have black dogs or big roosters at home should kill them and bleed them, and then scatter the blood around the house. If there is no blood, do not keep it at home, but go to the houses of those who have blood and squeeze in for the night."

The villagers wanted to ask if there were any other methods, but seeing that the old Taoist looked unhappy, they dared not say anything.

I really can't bear to slaughter the big rooster.

That's for exchanging money.

After giving instructions to everyone, the old Taoist hurried out.

It takes two hours to get from the village to the town, and another two hours from the town to Kongjia Village.

This is the time of day.

Not counting the return trip.

Taoist Hui was really unsure.

"Yifang, use the ox cart, drive the ox cart quickly to chase your uncle. The ox cart is faster, I hope we can still make it in time." After Village Chief Tian and Tian Yifang moved Tian Erfang's body to the main room, they suddenly came to their senses.

"Dad, I'll go right away. If Uncle Dao and I don't get back in time at night, you can take mother and my wife to Uncle Dao's house for shelter for a while." Tian Yifang warned worriedly.

"knew"……

As soon as Tian Yifang left the village chief, he caught up with the Taoist priest Hui Lao.

"Uncle Dao, will we make it in time?" Tian Yifang, who was driving the ox cart, was full of worry. He and Uncle Dao had left the house at 15:00, and now it was 15:00. He was really worried that they would not make it in time to go back and forth.

"If we can see the Imperial Master as soon as possible, then there is still hope for salvation tonight. If we are unlucky today and the Imperial Master is not here, then we are doomed." Gray Old Taoist said with a resigned expression.

Tian Yifang's hand holding the cow rope tightened unconsciously.

After the two men arrived at the village entrance, they drove the ox cart into the village. They saw that every family in Kongjia Village seemed to be very busy. When they entered the village, no one paid any attention to them.

He stopped the carriage anxiously, grabbed a dark-skinned strong man, and asked anxiously, "Brother, excuse me, does the State Master live in this village? Is she in the village today?"

Dou Wei, the dark-skinned sturdy man who was pulled over: ...

He had originally been assigned the task of picking up the former top scholar Xu Jingqing at the village entrance.

Wang Xiaofeng, the eldest disciple of the national teacher, brought news that Xu Jingqing had volunteered to open a school in Kongjia Village, where he would teach the children in the village for free in order to repay the national teacher for his kindness to the Xu and Yang families.

He had just reached the entrance of the village when he was stopped by someone.

"What do you want from the Imperial Master?" Dou Wei pulled his arm out of Tian Yifang's hand, took a step back, and looked at him warily, like a tiger whose butt was touched.

"My good friend, I am the old Taoist Hui Lao, and I am acquainted with the State Master. Could you please show us the way? We have something urgent to discuss with the State Master." The old Taoist Hui Lao explained.

Only he and the Imperial Master had seen these two of them.

He and the Imperial Master can be considered to have some kind of friendship.

Today he had no choice but to say this with a chuckle.

Otherwise, who knows how long this little brother will stop interrogating them.

Dou Wei took a look at the Taoist priest and saw that the old man in front of him was wearing a Taoist robe with a gourd around his waist. He also saw that the two men looked anxious, so he guessed that they might really know the Imperial Master.

He must be afraid of encountering trouble, so he asked the Imperial Master for help.

There is still some time before the agreed time. He should have enough time to send the two men to the Imperial Master and then return to the village entrance.

Then he said to them, "Come with me."

"Thank you, brother."
