Chapter 130 This Is Not a Local Monster, It Is a Foreign Monster (1/2)
Blow out the oil lamp.
Qiu Sheng opened the package.
He took out the apricot yellow Taoist robe that Uncle Jiu had folded neatly.
With a slight shake, he unfolded it and draped it over Uncle Jiu's body.
Uncle Jiu had changed into his Taoist robe, wearing a Hunyuan scarf on his head and a pair of old black cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles on his feet.
The clothes are neat, the air is majestic, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, and the spirit of immortality is strong.
All the villagers were waiting eagerly at the door.
The courtyard has been cleaned under Deng Zibu's command.
A layer of loess was spread and some water was sprinkled.
Uncle Jiu pushed open the door and walked out.
Walked to the plan in the courtyard.
Incense candles, incense burners, peach wood swords, Bagua mirrors, yellow paper, and yellow talismans are all available.
Wine jars and seven-star Kongming lanterns are also ready.
Just waiting for Uncle Jiu to start the practice.
Uncle Jiu felt that it was less troublesome and labor-intensive, and he felt very comfortable being served.
This is the experience a Taoist priest of his age should have.
Simple chores like these and the layout of the venue should be prepared by the apprentice.
This is also the first step for apprentices to learn skills and come into contact with this ritual.
It's the best of both worlds.
It's a pity that Uncle Jiu has never received this kind of treatment in all these years.
Whenever there is any religious work to be done, it must be done personally.
Because I really can’t think of any link that might be overlooked by talented writers.
This leads to various accidents during the practice.
If it's an ordinary little thing, just deal with it. If it's a big deal, you'll have to make up for it yourself.
If something goes wrong during a large-scale scientific ritual or when you want to slay demons, it will be fatal.
The new apprentice Lin Yu is satisfactory.
But in just one year, this child has already reached the stage of becoming a teacher.
I'm just afraid that within a few years, I may surpass myself.
When the time comes, don't say that he is the one who attacks me, maybe I will have to do it for him.
Not to mention Qiu Sheng, who has also been a disciple for one year.
Although it has only been a year, I can only shout that I was deceived.
It was different from the spiritual energy I felt when we first met.
This is obviously a trouble maker.
So much so that Uncle Ninth now had four apprentices, but he could only enjoy this kind of treatment when Deng Zibu was present.
It seems that I can only count on Ren Tingting in the future.
I didn't expect to accept this apprentice, but now it seems that this only female apprentice is an unexpected surprise.
Uncle Jiu held a stick of incense in his hand.
Just put it on the fire and light it.
Lin Yu suddenly raised his head and looked outside the village.
He reached out and took out a few talismans.
Frowning slightly, he was already on guard.
"Master, be careful, someone is coming."
Lin Yu reminded.
Everyone present quickly panicked.
Uncle Jiu immediately held the Bagua Mirror and the Taomu Sword in his hands.
"Xiao Yu, what's going on?"
Lin Yu shook his head.
"Someone asked for help, but couldn't sense the vampire's breath. I was afraid there was a demon hiding in the dark..."
Lin Yu's perception is far beyond that of ordinary people and is often even more exaggerated than Uncle Jiu's.
However, he only felt that someone was calling for help, but he did not find any trace of the enemy, which naturally made him suspicious.
I'm afraid a powerful enemy is coming.
"Go and take a look first!"
Uncle Jiu gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Many people present also felt a little scared. Obviously everyone was worried about being transferred away from the mountain.
But Uncle Jiu knew that someone was asking for help and couldn't help but go and see.
With this thought in mind, I prepared to go out.
The sounds coming from outside could be heard.
"Uncle Ninth, help, help, Uncle Ninth!"
The voice was somewhat familiar. Sure enough, someone was asking for help. Lin Yu heard it right.
"Are they here?"
Uncle Jiu remembered the identity of this voice.
After moving a few steps forward, several figures came into view, and the voices became clearer and clearer.
"Help...help, Uncle Jiu!"
"There is... Satan at work in the dark."
Several nuns ran out of breath. When they saw Uncle Jiu's figure, they also felt a sense of security.
Everyone bent over, holding their knees and gasping for air.
Uncle Jiu stood in front of several people with a frown.
"What are you talking about?"
Just as Sister Maria was about to speak, the little nun had already spoken first.
"Uncle Jiu, I'm afraid there is a bat spirit in the church."
The words "bat spirit" immediately caused an uproar as soon as they were spoken.
The villagers immediately started talking among themselves.
"Is it the bat spirit from last night?"
"Not long after the bat spirit escaped last night, he was injured by Uncle Jiu again. How could it be him?"
"Does that mean there is a new bat spirit?"
Someone raised this point, and the scene fell silent.
All eyes of death stared at the man who spoke freely.
The villager reacted immediately and spat on the ground.
"Bah, bah, bah, look at my crow's mouth, I can't say anything right."
But the words had already been spoken, but they still aroused everyone's thoughts.
Some people are already crying and don't know what to say.
"What kind of bad luck has this caused in eight lifetimes? How could there be new monsters?"
Sister Maria listened to the villagers talking and felt strange.
"What happened to them?"
Uncle Jiu explained: "A bat spirit came to the village last night and we worked together to drive it away."
The three nuns exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah! There really is a bat spirit!"
The three of them were so frightened that they hid behind Sister Maria's broad arms and grabbed Sister Maria's clothes.
Sister Maria also seemed to be trembling.
"It must be Satan. Is he here to prevent our church from reopening?"
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
He glanced at the fat nun in front of him strangely.
"Ms. Mary, you discovered the movement of the bat spirit yesterday, why didn't you ask your Lord to get rid of him?"
It seems that the nuns in front of me have never practiced cultivation.
But this Sister Maria is so devout in her faith that she went to open a church in this mountain cave, and she seems to have something to do with vampires again.
Has he really not been exposed to these things in practice?
Is it because the gods in the West are different from those in the Central Plains, so we can’t see her practice?
After looking at it for a long time, Uncle Jiu couldn't tell anything.
Sister Maria looked a little embarrassed.
"This must be a test given to us by the Lord."
"You didn't attract the bat spirit, did you?"
Some villagers immediately discovered the blind spot.
Start questioning Sister Maria.
The villagers echoed.
"That's right, that's right. Why are there bat spirits hiding in your church? Your place has obviously been abandoned for a long time."
Another slightly older person also thought of some questions.
"The bat spirit last night clearly looked like the foreign monk from twenty years ago, and the clothes they wore were very similar."
"When you said that, I also remembered that the bat spirit yesterday was obviously a foreign bat spirit. He looked like a foreigner. He was definitely not a local monster."
"I said, why did that foreign monk suddenly disappear back then? Couldn't he be this bat spirit?"
The more the villagers thought about it, the more something was wrong.
Several agitated women immediately rushed forward and grabbed Sister Maria.
Crying: "Please give back my son's life."
"Give me your nephew's life."
It turns out that these women are the young and strong elders who were killed by the bat spirit last night.
Sister Maria was immediately at a loss.
"No, what happened? This has nothing to do with us."
The villagers couldn't hear this.
"You must be with those bat spirits."
"You're right. Why do you want to open that foreign temple? It's obviously in disrepair. You must want to trick us into worshiping foreign gods in that foreign temple, and then, together with that bat spirit, take our Drink all the blood!"
Sister Maria, who came to seek help, felt overwhelmed by the villagers' repeated accusations.
He bent down and explained to the villagers with a look of panic on his face.
"No, it really has nothing to do with us. We came to open the church to let more people bathe in the gospel of the Lord. We really don't know that bat spirit, and we are also victims. The group of bats were in our church last night They made a big fuss and almost scared us to death.”
"Relying on the Lord's blessing, we finally managed to survive the night, and we immediately came to Uncle Jiu for help. We are really not in the same group with that bat spirit."
Sister Maria explained hurriedly.
If onlookers heard this, they would also feel a little ridiculed.
You, a foreign nun from a foreign temple, don't go to your foreign gods for help, but you come to our local Taoist priests here.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. I don't think Sister Maria is a bad person. They should not have any collusion with the bat spirits. At least Sister Maria and the others have not."
Uncle Jiu signaled everyone not to hurt innocent people and asked everyone to calm down.
Naturally, the villagers did not dare to make any more mistakes, and they all listened to Uncle Jiu.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Uncle Jiu and Lin Yu looked at each other, and the two of them made eye contact with Deng Zibu again.
All three people shook their heads slightly.
The three of them have now advanced in cultivation. Regardless of whether they are proficient or not, some basic fortune-telling skills are still necessary.
The aura of these nuns is clear and agile, and their faces are quiet and peaceful.
Not to mention being rich and powerful, or being a dragon or a phoenix among people, but at least the few people in front of me are good people, and there is no turbidity or evil spirit in them.
So there should be no connection with the bat spirit.
If there is really a connection, it can still be hidden from the eyes of three people.
I really don’t know how strong this bat spirit is.
"Tell me what happened last night?"
Regarding Uncle Jiu's questions, the nuns recalled and answered seriously.
I'm afraid that something I say will cause misunderstanding, or something I don't express clearly, and people won't understand.
I'm afraid if this is not done well, the villagers will be filled with righteous indignation and will tear them apart.
"We heard some noise just after dark last night."
"We quietly looked out through the window and saw many bats hovering above our church. We felt something was wrong, so we quickly sealed the doors and windows."
"Then I saw the bat rushing out of a room in the church, smashing the wooden doors and windows of the room. Many bats were killed on the spot. This situation was abnormal at first glance. It looked like a virus. It’s like evil.”
"We had no choice but to hide in the church and pray together."
"In the first half of the night, the group of bats flew away from the church together again. It was quiet for the rest of the night, and no bats came back. But there was no movement, and we didn't dare to go out."
"We know that Uncle Jiu and you all have special skills, so we ran over to you together at dawn to ask for help."
The nuns didn't know much, so they reluctantly told the whole story.
"He also said it has nothing to do with you. Those bats are clearly hiding in your temple!"
Some of the villagers wanted to shout again.
Uncle Jiu turned to glare at him.
The man immediately trembled with fright, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment.
"Xiaoyu, Zibu, what do you two think?"
Deng Zibu looked a little sad.
"You must have known about the bat riot in the middle of the night. The female vampire was killed by us. She must have chased us afterwards."
"You didn't go back in the second half of the night. You must have been hiding to recover from your injuries, right?"
"There can't be a new vampire hiding in the church, right? This small village has really become a goblin nest..."
Deng Zibu also felt a little speechless.
"Master, in my opinion, it's better to go and inquire first to see if there are any monsters hiding in the secret, so as not to fall into the trap."
After saying this, the villagers all looked embarrassed.
There may be two goblins hiding out there right now.
If Uncle Jiu and the others go to check and the goblin rushes into the village, I am afraid no one can stop it...
"Uncle Nine..."
The village chief yelled softly, but he didn't know what to say.
Also frowning.
We can't stop Uncle Jiu, we still have to investigate.
After all, there may be two goblins, but they only have one group of people.
Lin Yu also knew everyone's concerns.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Lu Jin and Uncle Deng are staying here. If any goblins come, they can also protect the villagers."
This is a solution.
But these two people seemed unable to defeat the goblin.
"Junior brother, senior uncle and the two of them can't seem to defeat that goblin..."
Wen Cai's words pierced the hearts of many people.
The sense of security that the villagers had just gained was shattered in an instant.
"Don't worry."
Lin Yu waved his hand, took out a thick stack of talismans, and handed it to Deng Zibu's hand.
"Uncle Master, you use these talismans first."
The talismans carried by Deng Zibu have been used up, and now it is time to replenish them.
I'm not polite. I took it and took a look. The quality of so many talismans was not low, no worse than the ones I drew.
Looking down, there are even some symbols that I can't draw.
"Hey! You even have the Yellow Turban Hercules Talisman, my nephew, you are really amazing."
Deng Zibu hadn't seen this kind of talisman for many years.
If you want to summon a yellow scarf warrior, you can at least fight a monster like last night for hundreds of rounds.
"Uncle Master, you should also take this magic weapon."
Lin Yu handed his thunder flame shield into Deng Zibu's hands.
"Having this treasure in hand will definitely make the goblin throw a rat-proof weapon and not dare to invade."
