As he spoke, the crowd automatically made way for him. Three people walked over from the crowd. It was a tall, white-haired old man who wore a maroon official robe with flowers. He had an awe-inspiring aura. The two burly men opened the way first, looking at their burly figures, it was terrifying. It was Bai Tianshou, the chief of Longevity Village, and his two nephews, Bai Long and Bai Hu.
Bai Tianshou had just returned from his business trip with his two nephews. As soon as he entered the village, he saw people crying for their parents. The whole village was in chaos. He asked the villagers and found out that many of them had strange diseases. The four Taoist priests who lived in Liu's old shop were casting spells to exorcise evil spirits in the Dragon King Temple. Bai Tieshou was shocked after hearing that. He did not care about going home anymore. He rushed to the Dragon King Temple with the White Dragon and the White Tiger. It was just in time for the old man to call the poor villagers home to withdraw money, and the rich villagers to line up to buy medicine. Seeing that the Monkey King had stepped forward, he was not in a hurry to show his face, so he saw what had happened clearly. He wasn't as stupid as the villagers. He had already noticed some flaws. Seeing that the villagers were about to pay, he called out to the white tiger and revealed himself.
Bai Tianshou was half a head taller than Zhang Rong. He stared at Zhang Rong and said,""You are the 12th generation grandson of Master Zhang?”
Zhang Rong felt his hair stand on end, but he knew that this person was the leader of Longevity Village and did not dare to offend him. He quickly said,"This Penniless Priest is."
Bai Tieshou said," You said that we offended the heavens and the heavens sent a disaster to us. But he said that you poisoned the well and used the name of the heavens to swindle money. I don't know who is the real one and who is the fake one.”
Zhang Rong said," He's an old monkey demon. He's here to harm you. Fortunately, I saw through him and subdued him with my magic. How can you believe his words?"”
The old man came forward and said,"Yes, how can you believe the words of a demon? The Taoist priest only dared to save people after getting permission from Master Zhang."”
Bai Tianshou snorted and said,"You've all been deceived by these Taoist priests. That monkey's words are the truth."”
Everyone looked at each other. They did not know why the village chief believed the words of a demon. When Zhang Rong heard this, he was shocked. His legs and stomach were a little twisted. However, he was a person who had been through a lot. Zhang Rong looked unhappy and said,"Since Village Chief doesn't believe me, I don't need to be bored.”Then he pretended to run away.
Bai Tieshou sneered,"Taoist priest, there's no need to be so anxious. We'll know if it's true or not after we try."”He turned to Bai Long and said," Go get a bucket of water."”
Bai Long accepted the order and soon brought a bucket of water. Bai Tianshou said to Zhang Rong," If what you said is true, please drink this water. If it's safe, we'll believe you."”
Zhang Rong's face was livid." How preposterous. This Penniless Priest's good intentions only brought about evil retribution. It seems that you are indeed incurable. No wonder the heavens sent down the God of Plagues to punish you."”Even now, he still did not forget to use the heavens to suppress others.
The old man hurriedly said," Don't mess around. If we offend the heavens again, no one will be able to save us."”
Bai Tianshou let him shout and turned a deaf ear to him, he said to the White Dragon and White Tiger,""Why aren't you inviting me to drink some water?"
These two fools only knew how to live a long life. After hearing the order, they did not care if others objected. The white tiger held Zhang Rong and pinched his nose. The white tiger picked up the bucket and poured it into his mouth. When Ma Wu, Feng Liu, and Qi San saw this, none of them dared to move. They watched Zhang Rong drink the well water like a whale drinking water. Soon, his stomach swelled.
White Tiger loosened his grip, and Zhang Rong collapsed to the ground. His eyes were rolling back and he was foaming at the mouth. He really did not expect such a thing to happen. If he had taken the self-made antidote in advance, he would not have been in such a disaster. Bai Tianshou was unmoved by this, and he said to Ma Wu and the other two,""Why aren't you taking the medicine to save him? Do you want him to die?”
The three of them felt as if they had been pardoned. They took out the antidote in fear and gave it to Zhang Rong in a hurry. As expected, one thing could subdue another. Zhang Rong spat out black water all over the ground and recovered very quickly. However, they no longer had the reserved and imposing manner from before. They knelt down and begged for mercy like stray dogs. They kowtowed and confessed their crimes, begging Bai Tianshou to forgive them and spare their dog lives.
When the villagers saw that it was true, they were immediately agitated and wished they could beat these people flat. Bai Tianshou was the wiser one. He stopped everyone and ordered Bai Long to bring a few strong men to take four people to save the poisoned villagers first. They would detoxify the poison in the well water and then deal with them.
At this moment, someone asked," What should we do with this monkey spirit? He's been kind to us. It doesn't seem like he's here to harm us.”
Bai Tianshou said," Although he has no intention of harming us, he is not of our race. He will be a disaster sooner or later if we keep him. We must get rid of him to ensure the peace of the village." "How about this, I'll ask White Tiger to bring him to my house to watch over him. Although these Taoist priests are imposters, this cinnabar rope is the real deal. He can't cause trouble. Tomorrow, I'll ask the Taoist priests of Mount Innerheart to subdue him."”
Although everyone felt that this was a bit of a return of kindness with ingratitude, for the safety of the entire village, they could only do it against their conscience, so no one objected. Bai Tianshou dealt with the aftermath. Seeing that everything was in order, he left the White Dragon behind and let the White Tiger escort the unconscious Monkey King back home. The white tiger locked the monkey king in the woodshed and only relaxed after locking it up three times.
Because of Bai Tianshou's wisdom, Longevity Village avoided a disaster. However, the most wronged person in this incident was the Monkey King. He had been kind but had been punished badly. First, he had been tricked by Zhang Rong, who had become angry out of humiliation, and then he had been brought home by Bai Tianshou. It was said that he would ask the Taoist priest of Mount Fangcun to surrender him tomorrow. Who knew if that was true? However, Bai Tianshou didn't use the villagers but asked the white tiger to bring the monkey king back to his home. There was something strange about it. However, the villagers had already determined that this talking monkey must be an old monkey spirit who cultivated in the deep mountains. They avoided him like the plague. Who would be so free to approach him and get into trouble? Seeing Bai Tianshou bring the Monkey King back to his own home, and as the Village Chief with great power in his hands, although some people felt that it was inappropriate, they did not raise any objections.
Although White Tiger was usually a hothead, he was still a little afraid to bring this demon back to his uncle's house. He asked a few times on the way, but Bai Tianshou only avoided the important and talked about the trivial. He also thought that his uncle was not a muddle-headed person and would not do anything that would cause trouble for himself, so he was relieved.
However, after this ruckus, it was already late in the evening when Bai Tianshou returned home. Lunch had already passed. However, as soon as he entered, he heard his beloved daughter Bai Jingjing's cheers."Daddy is back. We can eat now.”It turned out that Madam Bai knew that there was trouble in the village and her husband was dealing with it. Although the food had been heated twice, she still refused to eat it first and wanted to wait for her husband to come home to eat together. Children could not stand hunger. Bai Jingjing begged Madam Bai several times, but Madam Bai refused. It was no wonder Bai Jingjing was so happy when Bai Tianshou entered the house.
When he saw his daughter, Bai Tianshou, he was so happy that he didn't know how to like her. Bai Jingjing was only thirteen years old, but she was already as beautiful as a painting. She was also extremely smart and knew how to please her father. Of the Bai Tianshou brothers, Bai Tianbao had six sons, and he was the head of the village. He only gave birth to this daughter when he was fifty, so he naturally treated her like a pearl in his palm. In these two families, the eldest had power and no power, while the second had power and no power. However, once they were together, they had power and power. Bai Tianbao had always been Bai Tianshou's backer, and Bai Tianbao had always been Bai Tianshou's strong backing. Of course, deep in Bai Tianshou's heart, there were three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest was to have no children. He wanted to have a son even in his dreams.
Bai Jingjing crawled into Bai Tianshou's arms and wrapped her arms around her father's neck.""Daddy has been gone for a few days. Jingjing can't see Daddy. She dreams of Daddy every day.”
Bai Tianshou reached out and scratched her nose, laughing.""Daddy, don't you think about my precious baby every day in your dreams?"
