Chapter 42 Weird

Following the child's yell, an old voice came from inside the house.

"Who is looking for me! Xiao Ming."

Xiao Ming, the half-grown child, said: "I don't know him, he said he is from the Town God's Temple on the mountain."

"That's it!" said the old man, and walked towards the gate, Xiao Ming followed behind the old man, obviously the old man was Xiao Ming's grandfather, the current head of Tianyang Village.

At least why an old man?And why didn't you retire?
But it was because the Great Chu Empire ruled the world with filial piety, and village chiefs and town chiefs were all appointed local famous elders or retired soldiers.

The old man walked towards the gate, although the old man looked old, but when he walked, he walked like a dragon and a tiger, not like an old person at all.

Daoxuan heard footsteps coming from inside the door, knowing that the Lord is coming, he cheered up.

Not long after, the old man opened the door, Daoxuan stepped forward and said: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Poor Taoist Daoxuan, came from the Town God's Temple at the foot of Tianyang Mountain, but this time he came..."

The old man looked at Daoxuan and frowned and said: "The master of the little Taoist is the old temple of Tianyang Mountain Town God Temple?"

"The layman knows my master?" Daoxuan asked in surprise when he heard the old man's words.

"I think I was the one who invited your master back when he came here to do things." The old man said with a chuckle.

"I originally thought that no one would inherit the Town God's Temple since the death of Taoist Priest Qingxuan. I never thought that Taoist Priest would inherit the mantle of Taoist Priest Qingxuan!" the old man sighed.

Daoist Qingxuan is also the previous Miao Zhu of the Ancient City God Temple, and Daoxuan's nominal master.

When Daoxuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "This is also the end of the trail that often goes down the mountain. It's not surprising that the village head doesn't know about it."

"Prince Daoist, please come in quickly. It's no wonder that Daoist Master is old and useless." said the old man.

"Village Chief, you are well! Long live a hundred years." Daoxuan said.

"You don't need to call me the village chief, the little Taoist, the village chief, the village chief, it seems..."

"Just call me Mr. Li or Uncle Li." The old man said.

"That's fine, I'll call you Uncle Li." Daoxuan said.

"Daoxuan! As for your wanting to spread the City God's faith in the village, I won't stop you, but I won't help you either, as long as it's not against nature or reason."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

At this time, Daoxuan doesn't have the aura of when he came here, now he looks like a junior when he meets an elder, but, let alone counting by age, Daoxuan is really a junior.

As soon as he entered the house, Daoxuan said: "This is Xiao Ming! Come on." Daoxuan said and hung an amulet around Xiao Ming's neck.

This amulet was made by refining some scraps left over from Li Heng's refinement of the divine tablet with divine power.

It has the power to soothe the nerves and exorcise evil spirits.

"Don't thank the Taoist priest yet." The old man said to Xiao Ming.

"Thank you, Daoist." Xiao Ming said hastily.

"Why are the doors and windows of every household in Uncle Li's village closed!" Daoxuan asked.

This is because Daoxuan felt that the current situation in the village seemed a little strange. When he was outside the village, although no one was working in the fields outside the village, although Daoxuan was a little strange, he also felt that it was noon, and they might all go home to have lunch and rest up.

But as soon as Daoxuan entered the village, he felt that something was wrong. The doors and windows of every house in the village were closed tightly, and there was no trace of cooking smoke coming out.

Maybe it was because everyone used gas, but what happened next made Daoxuan feel that something was wrong.

When I knocked on the door to inquire, the person who opened the door was either a woman or a child. Although there were children playing in the village, none of them dared to go outside the village.

In addition, the village is so quiet that it makes people panic. Walking in the village, except for the echo of my own footsteps, there is no other sound, and there is no sound of chickens and ducks at all.

It is obviously impossible for a mountain village not to raise chickens and ducks, maybe a family or two would not raise chickens and ducks, but Daoxuan does not believe that there is no one in the whole village who raises chickens and ducks.

However, although Daoxuan felt strange, he was not familiar with Tianyang Village, and his understanding of Tianyang Village only came from the memory poured into him by the system.

Following Daoxuan's question, the old man's expression froze, hesitating for a moment, and finally did not answer Daoxuan.

The old man said: "It's not that someone rumored that there was bird flu. It's not that people in the village sold their chickens and ducks for fear of getting bird flu, and this house closed the doors and windows tightly for fear of being infected."

When Daoxuan heard it, he didn't believe it. You must know that the world where Daoxuan lived in was not as technologically advanced as the Tianyang Realm, or even lagged behind by a lot, and there were ways to deal with it, not to mention that it was more developed than the world where Daoxuan lived in his previous life. .

Just a while ago in the border town, I heard that someone's severed hand can grow back after treatment, and even a severed hand can grow back, so even this bird flu can't be cured?
Besides, even if there is, I am afraid that there are medical personnel in the village checking it at this time!

Although Daoxuan knew the loopholes in the old man's words and did not reveal the truth of the matter, Daoxuan did not expose it.

Although Daoxuan and the old man seemed to have a happy conversation, it was just that the old man was familiar with Daoist Qingxuan, and the other party saw Daoxuan as a disciple of Daoxuan Qingxuan, so he invited Daoxuan into the house.

He even agreed to Daoxuan to spread the belief of the City God among the people in the village, but because this matter is irrelevant.

And also put forward the conditions, only on the premise of agreeing to the conditions, the belief of the city god is allowed to spread.

That's why Daoxuan's request was so easily granted.

"So that's how it is!" Daoxuan made a look of sudden realization.

The old man knew countless people, so he could see that Daoxuan didn't believe him. However, the old man also knew that his words had many loopholes, so it was difficult to convince others.

But what the old man wanted was just an excuse, an excuse not to let Daoxuan continue to ask, and he didn't care whether others believed or not.

As for Daoxuan, he didn't care about it, and he wouldn't get angry because of it. As the saying goes, don't be happy with things and don't be sad with things.

Even though others were unwilling to say it, although Daoxuan was puzzled, he didn't continue to show it.

"Come, come and have a drink with uncle." The old man pulled Daoxuan and said, and the three of them sat at a table with meat and vegetables prepared.

In fact, as soon as Daoxuan entered the room, he saw a large table of dishes, and his heart was already drooling, swallowing in his mouth, but it was not easy to show it in front of the old man.

Although Daoxuan wanted to start eating right away, but the host hasn't moved yet, why do you as a guest have the guts to do it first.

"Xiao Ming, go and help the Taoist priest get a bowl and chopsticks." The old man said to Xiao Ming.

"Okay, grandpa." Xiao Ming said obediently.

"Let Uncle Li spend money." Daoxuan did not refuse the old man to stay for dinner, in fact, Daoxuan wanted to have a meal in the village, and now, the old man asked him to stay for dinner, of course Daoxuan would not refuse Yes, after all, it is now approaching the afternoon, and Daoxuan's Temple of the Five Viscera has rebelled long ago.

After eating this meal, it was almost evening, the sun was setting, and the redness was like blood.

The goal of coming to Tianyang Village this time was mostly fulfilled, so Daoxuan wanted to say goodbye to the old man and return to the ancient Temple of the City God. Is it difficult to go, or stay overnight before leaving!"

Daoxuan declined and stayed.

Why do you think Daoxuan stayed so easily?

This is because of the weirdness in this village, so Daoxuan wants to investigate.

Before going to bed, the old man warned: "No matter what sounds you hear at night, don't pay attention to them, and don't open the door."

When Daoxuan heard the old man's advice, his eyes just flashed, it was really strange.
