Taoist priest, let’s become immortals together!

Chen Yuan's whole body tensed up.

Scanning the smiling faces and seeing their fake yet genuine grins, Chen Yuan felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

as if.

On their faces.

She still has makeup on, ready to speak at any time.

"Don't just stand there, smile more." Boss Zhang took another big mouthful of fat meat, oil dripping from the corners of his mouth as he chewed, and he smiled even more happily, "Look, this fat... sizzling... so fragrant~"

talking.

Boss Zhang continued to lower his ordinary square face and continued to eat meat, which was sizzling with oil.

This Zhang family troupe.

A lot of evil nature.

He doesn't look like an ordinary citizen.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat." The calm old Taoist priest beside him gently raised his dry palm, smiling without raising his lips, "My name is Xuanyuan. May I ask...what is your name?"

"Qingyuan observes inaction."

Chen Yuan sat down immediately.

"Hehe... Taoist Wuwei, you were invited by Erniu, so you must already know the situation in our village." The village chief pushed a bowl of meat and vegetables over and continued, "Well, don't think I'm just being blunt. If you don't have any skills... you'd better leave now, otherwise you'll lose your life in vain."

There's nothing wrong with singing opera.

But the contact was too deep.

Encountered the evil spirit that stole the child.

But you can't just leave whenever you want.

Not to mention the liars, but if anyone really thinks he has some tricks and wants to show off his power, then when his head chops off, he can't blame the village.

Before Chen Yuan could speak, Li Erniu hurriedly said to the village chief, "Don't worry, village chief. My Taoist master is very skilled. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to invite him."

Afraid of offending the young Taoist priest.

What will happen to the children if others give up their jobs?

After all, I am not short of money.

He just wanted to find someone to lead the way out of the mountain.

Now that he was out of the mountain, the whole village was full of people, and the official road was not far away. If he wanted to go to Qingfeng Town, he just had to follow the official road and he would be there in no time.

There's no need to wade into this muddy water.

It’s simply because Xiao Daoye is a nice person.

Promise to help him get rid of the evil spirits and save the children.

Seeing this, the village chief didn't say much. He just shook his head slightly, twitched his lips, then took out an old pipe, pinched a pinch of tobacco foam, lit it over the oil lamp, and took a puff, sending out smoke rings.

While smoking, he still forced a smile.

Although the smile was fake.

But at least... you're smiling.

"Little Taoist, you eat." Li Erniu swallowed his saliva, staring at the steaming and greasy meat dishes on the table, squatting aside honestly, smiling innocently.

The thought of asking the Taoist priest for help.

He is happy.

A genuine smile...

No adulteration at all.

No hesitation.

Chen Yuan picked up the bowl and started shoveling meat into his mouth with chopsticks. The fatty pieces of meat slid into his mouth like jelly, and the aroma of the meat exploded in his mouth. He chewed it with big mouthfuls, mixed with a small amount of vegetables, and it was extremely fragrant.

……

Bang!

Zhang Banzhu put the porcelain bowl he had licked clean heavily on the table, and with a flick of his tongue, he took in all the oil and water. He touched his stomach with both hands, and smiled.

"Hehe...it smells so good~"

Then he looked at the other actors, stood up,

"Eat and drink, it's time to start the show~"

A group of actors stood up, smiling, and walked out of the house.

"The old man will also take care of the arrangements. You two can do as you please. I will come to call the two Taoist priests in the evening." After saying that, the village chief hunched over and walked out of the main hall.

In the blink of an eye, only Chen Yuan and three others were left in the main hall. Li Erniu kept rubbing his hands, watching the Zhang family members walk away, and hurriedly grabbed a bowl of meat and vegetables and started eating.

He was very greedy.

At this moment, Taoist Xuanyuan stroked his oily beard, narrowed his eyes, and straightened his expression. He asked, "Fellow Daoist Wuwei, a few opera singers can't exorcise the evil spirit. This matter depends on the two of us. How about we do it together?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

I thought that Taoist Xuanyuan wanted to deal with the evil spirits in Xiaoshizi Village alone, but from what he said, it seemed that he was not completely sure about solving the problem.

"What's the matter?" Taoist Xuanyuan opened one eye, looked at Chen Yuan, and explained, "If you don't believe me, I don't want to share the money. In this world, if you don't have money in your pocket, even a Taoist will starve."

"A Taoist priest died a few days ago. Although I am a Taoist priest, I can't guarantee that there won't be some accidents. With the help of fellow Taoists, it doesn't matter if I make less money."

"When everyone is harmonious and prosperous, isn't that wonderful?"

Chen Yuan understood.

Taoist Xuanyuan is quite slick.

Also.

In this kind of world, life is the most important thing.

If you earn less, at most you will live in poverty.

But if you act blindly and show off your strength, you will lose your life.

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

"Ah!" Taoist Xuanyuan bared his teeth, revealing a mouthful of darkened teeth with shredded meat stuck between them. He reached out and pulled the shredded meat out, then continued chewing. He slapped his thigh again and said excitedly, "Hehe...young Taoist friend, that's so refreshing!"

Chen Yuan frowned.

Why does this old Taoist Xuanyuan have such a disgusting mouth?

In a trance, the shadow of Qingjing Xiedao appeared in front of him again, making him upset. He didn't know how long this state would last. The impression left was engraved in his bones. In a short time... it seemed that he couldn't get rid of it.

……

The troupe began to prepare intensively.

The night is dark.

The originally deserted and silent village became noisy, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly rose, and it became lively. The people of Xiaoshizi Village gathered in a large courtyard, protecting the remaining children, with forced smiles on their faces, kneeling devoutly,

"Ancestors bless you~"

"The children are young, please bless them~"

I can't laugh.

But who told the opera singer that?

The play performed for the gods and ancestors must be performed with a smile.

It won't work if you look sad.

The sound of drama began.

The humming and humming of opera voices, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, from men and women rose and fell, intertwined together. The whole Xiaoshizi Village was shrouded in the sound of opera. The hearts of the villagers were in their throats, and above their heads, there was a dark atmosphere like an impending storm, casting a thick haze over Xiaoshizi Village.

The whole village.

The opera tunes echoed melodiously.

It sounds pleasant to the ears, but it is weird and creepy.

Taoist Xuanyuan lifted his robe and stood up. Chen Yuan took a look and saw that although Taoist Xuanyuan was tall, a lump appeared on his back as he stood up, causing his body to hunch over.

It was as if it was squeezed out forcibly, with the back propped up and the two arms pulled up along the shoulders. The head was squeezed under the shoulders, as if a hook was supporting the two ends of the shoulders. It looked extremely funny.

"Fellow Daoist Wuwei, it's time to go."

talking.

The hunchbacked Taoist Xuanyuan walked out of the main hall with a whisk in his hand and light steps. Chen Yuan frowned and turned to follow him.

As for Li Erniu.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he hurried home with a bowl of meat and vegetables. Although there were no children at home, his old mother was in poor health and had not seen her for several days. She was very worried, so she said goodbye to Chen Yuan and invited him to visit her at his home after the evil spirit was eliminated.

Sudden.

A cold wind blew and a woman's creepy voice suddenly rose.

Taoist Xuanyuan's eyes widened, and his hunched back seemed to bulge even higher, making it hard for him to breathe, but his voice was exceptionally loud.

"coming!"
