You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

On the back mountain of Niuwei Village.

Three middle-aged men came into the Taoist temple, which had collapsed and only a wall remained.

One of them was dressed in a suit and tie with a briefcase under his arm, another was dressed in casual clothes and held a compass in his hand, and the last one had his trouser legs rolled up and his clothes were patched.

"Are you sure it's here?"

The Western man walked around suspiciously and looked at the patchwork man. "It doesn't look like this shabby Taoist temple has been uninhabited for more than ten years. I'm afraid it's been fifty or sixty years, right?"

The patchwork man laughed dryly and explained, "No, no, there was an old Taoist priest who lived here more than ten years ago. When we were collecting firewood, we often sat here for a while and asked him for water."

"The temple is in such a state of disrepair because it was already dilapidated, and the typhoons in recent years have made it even worse."

"As you know, typhoons often hit our area. Not only this old Taoist temple, but even the roof of our old house has been blown off twice."

"So where's the old Taoist priest? Dead?"

This question was asked by the one holding the compass.

The patch man shook his head repeatedly.

"I do not know."

"Probably dead."

"I saw him before the busy farming season that year. When I went up the mountain after the rice harvest, the old Taoist priest had disappeared."

"He's already so old. Even if he didn't die then, he would have passed away in another ten years or so."

The patch man said, unable to contain his curiosity.

"Who are you two? What are you doing here at this Taoist temple?"

The man in the suit made eye contact with the other man and smiled, "I just heard that Master Su Chen from your village learned his skills from the old Taoist priest here, so I thought I'd come over to take a look."

"You know Ah Chen too?" The patched man said proudly, "Then did you know that his family holds a birthday party during the Spring Festival? I heard that all the guests are high-ranking officials..."

It was obvious that the other two were not interested in his mumbling, especially the one holding the compass. He walked around the Taoist temple a few more times and soon shook his head at the man in the suit.

As the patch man was talking, he noticed that they were walking around the Taoist temple and heading up the mountain. He was stunned for a moment and hurried to catch up with them.

"Are you going into the mountains?"

The man in the suit nodded and said, "I plan to take a walk in this mountain. Your village has a Master Su, so the feng shui must be good. I want to experience it for myself."

"I'd love to go shopping, but I don't have time."

The patch man had a sad face.

He met the two men at the entrance of the village. When they said they wanted to see the Taoist temple on the mountain, he thought it was still early and if he took them up the mountain and back, he could still have time to repair the road, so he brought them here.

He also understood from the conversation along the way that these two people were from other places and had no idea how to get around in the mountains.

He was afraid of leaving the two people behind. If they got lost in the mountains, he would be committing a sin.

But I have to stay with him. It costs a lot to repair the road for a day...

Seeing the patched man looking conflicted, the man in the suit decisively unzipped his briefcase and took out a hundred-dollar bill from it.

The patch man waved his hands hurriedly: "What are you doing?"

"Brother, this is the fee for leading us. Take it."

"No, no, no, it's just a short walk, why would I need a hundred dollars?"

Do you feel guilty about taking it?

There was a shove between the two sides, and the middle-aged man holding the tray frowned impatiently and glanced at the patched man with disdain.

The next moment, the patched man's body stiffened. Before he could be surprised, his eyes closed and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the man in the suit turned around and shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? Don't you know whose territory this is?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"We walked to the village entrance and didn't see anyone, and he even took us on a small path where we wouldn't be discovered."

"How could we not be discovered? I heard that Master Su can calculate the past and future clearly as long as he has the eight characters. We will definitely be discovered!"

"It's discovered, have you forgotten? Our faces are not our own."

The man in the suit was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously touched his cheek, then scratched his head with a smile: "That's right, then this corpse..."

"Just find a ravine and throw it away."

Nanmen Old Street.

Chang Yu hung up the phone and came back, pressing his temple.

"what happened?"

"The exorcist team lost one man, seriously injured two, and Lao He almost lost his life."

Su Chen frowned: "Before, Gong Zi said that Captain He's mission was related to Xi Meng's matter?"

Chang Yu nodded, then shook his head.

“Not really.”

"Those two who were seriously injured are quite serious. I'll ask Lao He to bring them over..."

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, it's just a casual thing."

Not long after Chang Yu sat down again, Old Song came back with a happy face.

Seeing the unfamiliar face, Old Song took a closer look at Chang Yu, then smiled at Su Chen: "Master Su, would you like to have lunch at my house? Shishi said she wants to invite a chef to cook a big meal."

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, happy birthday!"

"Hehe, today is indeed very happy, haha..."

Especially when I saw Lao Ge’s ugly face.

Old Song happily walked into the teahouse and came out with a cup of hot tea after a while.

After pouring tea for Su Chen and Chang Yu, he didn't disturb them and went to help Xiao Liu'er pack up.

Xiao Liuer steamed a total of 200 bamboo tube rice dumplings this morning. Since they were given away as gifts, they are now all gone, so only three are left.

Just as he helped Xiao Liu'er move the big pot down, Lao Song heard the sound of brakes. He turned his head and his brows immediately frowned.

Xiao Liu'er also subconsciously shrank her neck.

But soon, the two returned to normal.

Su Chen and Chang Yu were drinking tea and chatting. When they noticed the noise, they looked up and took a look.

There was a van parked not far away.

14 people got off the bus.

They are all young men of short stature, some strong and some thin.

Each of them held a short stick in his hand and looked ferocious.

Chang Yu: "Looks like he's in a gang."

Old Song came over and said, "They are worthy of being called a society. They are just a bunch of ignorant people who are always looking for death."

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Do you know him?"

Little Liuer came over and said, "They always bothered Brother Kun before and came to the teahouse to make trouble several times, but Grandpa always chased them away."

Brother Kun?

Chang Yu suppressed his doubts and nodded: "Then why are they here so early in the morning?"

"Who knows? Why did they choose my birthday to come? What bad luck!" Old Song was full of resentment.

Little Liuer asked quietly, "Grandpa, maybe they want to come and collect rent too?"

"Collecting rent? This house belongs to them, and you dare to collect rent?"

"I don't know how high the sky is."

Old Song subconsciously retorted, then felt something was wrong: "No, what do you mean by yeah?"

He looked at Su Chen blankly: "Did other hooligans come to cause trouble before?"

"Are you going to collect protection money from you, Taoist Su?"

"Which bastard is so bold? I'll make him spend a few more days in jail."

Xiao Liu'er shook her head: "No, Grandpa, someone came here with a coffin to collect rent."

"Coffin? Hey, these brats, they're using more and more tricks to collect protection money."

Xiao Liu'er: "..."

She was helpless: "Grandpa, they are not gangsters. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Huang."

Old Song glanced at her doubtfully.

"Isn't Taoist Priest Su here? Why not just ask Taoist Priest Su directly? Why ask Uncle Huang? You kid, did you stay up late last night and become stupid?"

Old Song tapped Xiao Liu'er's forehead, turned around and looked at Su Chen with a smile.

The sound of messy footsteps came from far to near.

Soon a short stick was placed on Su Chen's desk.

Old Song couldn't believe it: "He Zhennan, are you really that brave? Why are you acting so crazy here?"

As he was about to go over and grab He Zhennan's collar, he saw the latter bend his legs and kneel down in front of the stall.

Old Song: “???”
