In the north of our country, there are many areas that worship the five immortals. These five immortals are respectively, the gray immortal mouse, the yellow immortal weasel, the fox immortal fox, the snake is called the willow immortal, and the white immortal is the hedgehog.
In the northwest, especially in our area, perhaps because we are closer to the Fuxi Celestial Race's hometown, we are very respectful of snakes.
The worship towards the human-headed, snake-bodied Fuxi Celestial Race originated from ancient times!
Wu Shun and his father are both locals born and raised here. They are influenced by some local culture and definitely have a certain degree of reverence for animals like snakes.
Especially when they thought that the white-bearded old man was very likely a Snake Immortal who had cultivated for many years, Wu Shun and his son's faces were immediately filled with worry.
If I had to deal with those ghosts who had just died, it might not be a big problem. However, if there was a Snake Immortal behind those ghosts, it would be very difficult for me to deal with them!
After all, the snake fairy has the word immortal, while I'm just an ordinary person with some special abilities!
At this moment, not to mention Wu Shun and his son, even I am seriously lacking in confidence.
"Boss, why do you think there's something more powerful behind those ghosts?" Wu Shun asked me. Hadn't the white-bearded old man already taken his revenge?”
When Wu Shun asked this question, Wu Shun's father nodded and echoed,"That's right! Didn't the white-bearded old man take his revenge? If the white-bearded old man had made a move, the few groups of people who entered the tunnel later might not have been able to come out alive!”
Actually, from a subjective point of view, Wu Shun and his father didn't want me to meet that mysterious and strange white-bearded old man, so they tried to think positively.
However, based on what I learned from the Divine Physique Heavenly Book, I can basically confirm that behind those dozen ghosts, it was the white-bearded old man who was causing trouble.
If I were to think positively like Wu Shun and his son, I would definitely suffer a great loss!
Wu Shun's father took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed."Jiang Yi, don't worry about the tunnel in Xiakou Village! I was just joking with you just now and bragging! I'm just a deputy county head, how can I have the right to talk to the provincial leader!”
Wu Shun looked at his father with a trace of gratitude in his eyes when he heard that. Then, he echoed from the side,"Boss, my dad doesn't have any other hobbies. He just likes to joke with people and brag! Don't take it seriously!"
Of course, I understood the meaning behind Wu Shun and his father's words. However, I was very touched by their words.
This was the feeling of being cared for and loved by others, not the feeling of purely using each other!
This feeling was really good! At this moment, my nose actually felt a little sour. With a touched expression, I said to Wu Shun and his father,"Uncle Wu, Shunzi, just based on what the two of you said, I, Jiang Yi, will definitely take care of the Xiakou Village tunnel!”
When I said this, Wu Shun's father shook his head firmly."Jiang Yi, even though I've dreamed of being promoted to the provincial office, I don't want you to risk your life for me!”
I smiled and said," Uncle Wu, you have to consider this carefully. If I really don't care about the Xiakou Village Tunnel, not only will you not be promoted, but you might also lose your current position. It's even possible that you will be stripped of your position!”
After hearing my words, Wu Shun's father's expression became very serious. After all, he didn't expect to be promoted, but his wife and children still had to live. He had to consider their feelings.
At this moment, Wu Shun said to his father," Dad, I'm already an adult. If you're really going to be rubbed to the end, don't you still have me? Don't you have any confidence in me? Do you think I don't have the ability to earn money to support you and my mother?”
After hearing Wu Shun's words, Wu Shun's father immediately made a decision.
"Jiang Yi, don't you always tell me about karma? If anything happens to you, then the karma I owe will be huge! Don't say anything! Even if I, your Uncle Wu, was beaten to the ground, I would never let you risk your life!”
At this moment, other than being touched, I was still touched. I had nothing to say about the way Wu Shun and his son treated me as family.
However, I understand the principle of returning a favor with a favor. My father taught me since I was young that one must have a heart of reverence for the heavens and remember the kindness of others! Wu Shun and his son treated me like family, so how could I treat them like outsiders?
So I explained to Wu Shun's father,""Uncle Wu, you might not know this, but karma is indeed a very subtle thing. Not only are we afraid of owing karma, but those monsters who have cultivated into spirits are even more afraid of owing karma!
After hearing my words, Wu Shun and his father looked at me in confusion. They didn't understand what I meant at all.
I explained further," If a person breaks the law, they will be punished by the law. Those monsters have the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. Once too much karma is involved, they will inevitably be punished by the heavens!”
After I explained, Wu Shun and his father frowned and thought for a while. They seemed to have understood something.
"The few groups of people who entered the tunnel later only suffered a little shock and light injuries, but none of them died inside. Could it be because of this?”Wu Shun's father asked me.
I nodded and said," Even those people were frightened and slightly injured because of that white-bearded old man. You can imagine how afraid that white-bearded old man was of getting himself involved in karma!”
After my explanation, Wu Shun and his father basically understood. Wu Shun even asked me,""Boss, according to what you mean, there is no karma between the two of us and that white-bearded old man. At most, he will be scared by those ghosts and will not take our lives, right?”
I nodded and asked Wu Shun,""What? Are you planning to go with me to deal with the ghosts in the tunnel? Aren't you afraid of fainting like last time?”
Wu Shun was a little embarrassed by my words, but he said firmly,"Didn't I say it before? In the future, no matter what you do, I'll do it. Wherever you go, I'll go!”
I smiled and said to Wu Shun's father,"Uncle Wu, don't worry! From your appearance, you are definitely going to be promoted this time. That means that Wu Shun and I will definitely be able to solve the problem of the Xiakou Village tunnel!”
Wu Shun's father thought that it was right, so he didn't continue to insist. If his position could be promoted several times under the condition that Wu Shun and my life were guaranteed, he definitely wouldn't want to miss this opportunity.
If he wasn't even willing to grasp this opportunity, then all his years in the officialdom would have been in vain.
At the thought of this, Wu Shun's father didn't stand on ceremony with me. He asked me directly,"Jiang Yi, when do you plan to go to Xiakou Village Tunnel? What preparations do you need to make? Be it manpower or resources, I will fully cooperate and support you!”
I frowned and thought for a long time before saying to Wu Shun's father,""Uncle Wu, I'll write you a list later and list all the things I want on it. You can spend a day tomorrow to help me prepare everything. I'll go to Xiakou Village with Wu Shun the day after tomorrow!”
Wu Shun's father agreed. Then, Wu Shun ran to the front desk of the hotel and asked for a piece of white paper and a pen. I took the paper and pen from Wu Shun and wrote on the dining table. Wu Shun sat beside me and watched.
After seeing the first thing I wrote on the white paper, Wu Shun couldn't help but ask me,"Boss, we're going to catch ghosts, not play games. Why did you ask my dad to prepare these things for you?”
Hearing Wu Shun's words, Wu Shun's father also came over to take a look. In the end, Wu Shun's father was dumbfounded.
The first thing I wrote on the paper was six large-caliber water guns.
